One Wrestle Movement World Heavyweight Championship Match
Arley Kirk versus "The Pain Maker" Cain Domingeuz
"Milkshake" hits the system and there is a loud POP as Arley Kirk appears atop the Tron, black fuzzy LED angel wings on her back. Arley rips open a juice box and skolls it before slamming the empty carton on her forehead several times and getting another POP as she slides down to the ramp and makes her way down it, stopping for quick hugs and high fives and photos.
Torres: From Lake Fenton, MI. Weighing in at one hundred and fifteen pounds, she is one half of Kawaii Trash Pandas GO...this is "The suicide blonde", Arley Kirk!
Arley opens a juice box at ringside and gets a good laugh as a small child opens his mouth and she pours Apple juice into it and also gets a warm reaction from giving her angel wings to a girl around the same age. Arley finally jumps up onto the apron and launches over the top rope before she gets one final POP by running and leaping to the top rope, showing off her superb balance as she stands dead center and motions for the fans to get louder. Arley Kirk backflips down to the ring and strikes a determined fighting pose as her music fades..
“Straight to Hell” by Ozzy Osbourne starts playing as the light dim with only red light’s filling the arena. Smoke fills the stage as Cain walks out on stage and at the top of the ramp he drops down to one knee looking like he saying a prayer, he then smacks the ground once and yells out a scream with a crazy look on his face as flames explode on the stage each side of the ramp. The flames remain as he walks down the ramp to the ring. Cain stops just before the step and looks down at the ground takes breaths before quickly looking back up flipping his wet hair, before walking up the steps and gets into the ring. Cain yells again as he shows is crazy look again as he grabs the top rope looking at the crowd as the lights return to normal.
Taj: The time has finally arrived! For one month we have waited for this exact moment! All the talk, the bickering, and verbal feuding will be put to rest as Arley Kirk and Cain Domingeuz will decide who will become the very first 1WM World Heavyweight Champion!
America: Cain is going to destroy Arley to win the championship and soon after Ricky Stanton is going to buy the title off of him. It’s going to be too pretty!
The bell sounds as Cain and Arley eye each other from across the ring. They step forward simultaneously, both going for a tie up. Cain quickly overpowers and spins her around into a reverse waistlock. He lifts her into the air and slams her down onto the mat, keeping his grip around her waist! Arley wiggles a little bit, before managing to slip out of Cain’s grasp. Both competitors get to their feet. Cain snags Arley by the head in a headlock and flips her over onto the mat. Arley’s shoulders are down and the ref begins to count.
ONE!
Arley lifts her shoulder up. She then lifts her legs up, wrapping them around Cain’s neck, pulling him down to the mat and breaking his grip on her head. Cain wrenches Arley’s legs from around his neck and scurries to his feet. Arley returns to hers and Cain charges. She stops his momentum by flipping him onto the mat with an arm drag, keeping him there by locking in an elevated arm bar. Cain cringes in pain, but after a few seconds, manages to get to his feet. Cain is able to escape the hold, and then manages to lock an arm wrench. Arley flips out of it as she breaks the hold and immediately both wrestlers take two steps back!
Taj: Cain and Arley are showing off their tremendous abilities early on in this match. Very evenly contested...surprisingly.
America: Surprisingly for whom?!
Taj: Just watch the match!
Cain and Arley circle each other. Arley quickly moves forward and grabs Cain’s arm, spinning behind him, and cinching him in an hammerlock. Cain takes a second before spinning behind Arley, putting her in a hammerlock! Arley reverses again, this time pulling Cain in a headlock. Cain lifts Arley up in an attempt to throw her off, but she hangs on, landing on her feet and flipping Cain over onto the mat, her headlock still locked in. This time, Cain’s shoulders are on the mat as the referee begins to count.
ONE!
Cain lifts his shoulder up immediately and fights up to his feet, Arley retaining her grip. Cain sweeps Arley off her feet, releasing himself, and diving on top of her, but she rolls away before he can do anything. She runs at him and he immediately looks to execute a hip toss, but she lands on her feet! She runs, pivots, and flips Cain over with a monkey flip, but the Pain Maker lands on his feet as well! They both turn around and Arley quickly goes for a roundhouse kick. Cain ducks underneath. Arley turns around and Cain attempts to hit her with a running big boot, but Arley sidesteps! The two stare each other down, Arley nodding and Cain mockingly clapping.
Taj: Back and forth these two go, neither able to take advantage quite yet!
America: We get it, you think they’re both great, the crowd thinks they’re both great, everyone is great!
Arley and Cain circle around each other again and go in for a tie up. This time Cain chops Arley across the chest before hitting her with a right hand! Arley responds back with a kick to the legs and then a kick to the midsection. She runs against the ropes and bounces off, right into a back body drop by Cain! He waits for her to get up and then whips her into the turnbuckle. Arley runs at it and then leaps up as Cain runs in, causing him to dash underneath her. He hits the brakes before hitting the turnbuckle and turns right around into a drop toe hold from the Suicide Blonde. Cain scrambles up to his feet looking for a clothesline, but Arley ducks underneath, grabs his arm and plants him to the mat with a hip toss. Arley goes for a cover!
ONE!
Quick kick out by Cain!
Cain gets back up to his feet and backs up into the turnbuckle corner. Arley runs at him and Cain blasts her in the face with an elbow! Arley staggers back but runs at Cain again, who blasts her again with a second elbow! Arley drops to a knee, while Cain climbs to the second turnbuckle. He leaps off and Arley catches him in mid-air with a huge dropkick! Cain crumbles to the mat as Arley gets to her feet.
Taj: Both of these competitors have put it all on the line here tonight as the respectively waded through the competition of their individual battle royales in order to face each other for the 1WM World Heavyweight Championship!
A rumbling starts to stir the crowd when out of nowhere Olivia Rhodes slides in the ring and drills Arley in the back of the head, knocking her down to a chorus of boos! The referee immediately signals for the bell, disqualifying Cain and awarding Arley Kirk the win.
Taj: Oh you’ve got to be kidding me! Why?!
America: I figured a chick like Olivia wouldn’t let her getting eliminated from the first battle royale go unanswered!
Torres: Here is your winner AND NEW One Wrestling Movement World Heavyweight Champion…”The Suicide Blonde” Arley Kirk!
America: WAIT WHAT?
Taj: Arley Kirk is awarded the match AND the World title?! I’m sure Cain had nothing to do with that run-in from Olivia! Did he?
Olivia continues to drill into a downed Arley Kirk with fury. She gets up and yells, “You thought you were done with me, Arley Kirk!? I’m not done with you! This far from over!” Olivia stomps at Arley before Cain Domingeuz grabs and spins her around, getting into her face.
Olivia immediately backs up and starts to speak to Cain, signaling that they should team up to beat a downed Arley up. Cain just looks at her puzzled for a second. Olivia seems to think he’s recruited Cain for her cause. Cain smirks, causing Olivia to smirk and then moves toward Arley.
Taj: No don’t do it!
Suddenly, Cain taps Olivia on the shoulder causing her to turn around. Once around, Cain blasts her with a Fade to Black (claymore kick)! The crowd cheers heavily.
America: You know I’m not sure how I feel about how all this went down. With Arley as the first World Champ, Cain might should have teamed with Olivia as he might not ever get this chance again.
Arley gets to her feet as Cain exits the ring. Arley waits for Olivia to get up and then kicks her head off with a devastating superkick! Olivia falls out of the ring as the crowd explodes in cheers! Arley grabs her World Championship and poses on the turnbuckle to the Tampa crowd’s adoration.
Taj: What a legendary night we have had here at the inaugural Legendary! I’m Taj Monroe-Hennessey and on behalf of my colleague, America Vaughn, thank you for joining us and we will see you all January 31st in Philadelphia!
Arley holds her belt up proudly as the show comes to a close.

One Wrestling Movement World Tag Team Championship Tournament: Finals: One Wrestling Movement World Tag Team Championship Match
Regulators, Incorporated (“Calamity” Jane Adler and Sadie Cassidy) versus Liam Archer and Nathan McCleese
Torres: The following is the FIRST EVER match for the ONE WRESTLING MOVEMENT WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP! It is scheduled for ONE FALL or SUBMISSION with a THIRTY MINUTE time limit!
"Honky Tonk Stomp" by Brooks & Dunn blares as Jane Adler and Sadie Cassidy make their way to the ring.
Torres: Introducing first at a combined weight of two hundred and seventy-seven pounds…”Calamity” Jane Adler and Sadie Cassidy...the REGULATORS INCORPORATED!!!!!!!
Taj: My broadcast partner had no faith they would be at this point tonight but Regulators, Incorporate stand at the threshold of making 1WM history.
America: Hey, I can't lie. I really, really didn't think Jane and Sadie would be the ones competing for the tag titles.
The combination of "Unscripted Violence" by Violent Idols and “For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic” by Paramore plays as Liam Archer and Nathan MacAleese walk to the ring.
Torres: Coming to the ring at a combined wight of four hundred and forty-four pounds...they are LIAM ARCHER AND NATHAN MACALEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taj: Liam and Nathan are yet another surprise team being in this spot right now.
America: Most definitely, Taj. Who would have thought two single wrestlers would come together and make it to the finals of this tournament?!
Jane Adler steps in the ring for her team, Liam Archer doing the same for his. The two wrestlers glare at one another as the referee then calls for the bell and the match is officially underway.
DING DING DING!!
Jane puts her speed on display as she begins to circle around the ring, trying to keep Liam from grabbing hold of her. Despite her best efforts, Liam charges forward and catches Jane in the mouth with a hard right hand. He follows it up with a second as Jane stumbles around. Liam pulls Jane in and continues to pound away on her with a series of quick strikes to try and continue wearing her down. He then grabs hold of Jane and tries to spin her around into a sit-out neckbreaker! Jane shifts her positioning and escapes his grasp, trying to use the opening to her advantage to deliver an enziguri! Liam blocks the attempt and causes Jane to hit the mat, quickly grabbing her head and slamming it hard into the mat!
Taj: There's a ruthlessness here that we don't normally see from Liam and Nathan!
America: You have to respect the fact that they understand just how big of a deal this match is! This is their opportunity!
Liam grabs Jane as she tries to pull herself back up to her feet. He pulls Jane in and begins to connect with a series of knee strikes to try and wear her down. Liam then drags Jane over to his corner of the ring and slams her into the turnbuckle! He drives his shoulder into the ribs of Calamity and then tags Nathan into the match. Nathan immediately begins to blast Jane in the mouth with a series of elbow shots while she's in the corner. Liam grabs Jane and shoots her over toward Connor who steps forward and connects with a big clothesline! He drops down on top of her and goes for the cover.
One...
Two...
T...Jane kicks out!
The referee forces Liam out onto the apron. Nathan glares down at Jane and hits her with a stomp before dragging her back up to her feet. Nathan tries to hoist Jane onto his shoulder to get her into position for a powerslam, but Jane immediately reaches for Nathan's eyes and begins to rake away at them. Nathan drops Jane to the mat out of instinct, giving her the opening she needs to leap into the air and connect with a dropkick! Nathan tries to bring himself back up to his feet, still clutching at his face as he does so. Jane tries to seize the opening that she's created for herself by bouncing off of the ropes and charging at him. Nathan lifts Jane into the air and sets her up for a tilt-a-whirl slam---Jane catching him by surprise with a headscissors takedown instead!
Taj: This is a bit more of what we've come to expect from The Regulators!
America: And it's fun to watch!
Jane quickly grabs Nathan and locks in a front facelock to try and wear him down. Out of desperation, Nathan begins to fire a series of strikes at Jane in hopes of getting her to release the hold! Jane keeps the hold locked on tight, with Nathan overpowering her and driving Jane back into her corner of the ring. Sadie Cassidy tags herself into the match as Nathan slams Jane hard into the turnbuckle. He steps back toward the middle of the ring and smirks as he gets ready to charge forward at Jane. Sadie quickly steps into the ring and cuts Nathan off with a roundhouse kick sending him crashing hard to the mat! Sadie smirks and hooks the leg.
One...
Two…
THRE...Liam hurries into the ring and pulls Sadie off of his partner!
Taj: Oh wow, that was close...
America: That's the kind of teamwork that you only see from champions, Taj!
Liam hits Sadie with a chop to knock her off balance as Nathan pulls himself back up to his feet. The referee tries to warn Liam to step out onto the apron, though Liam ignores him. He grabs hold of Sadie from behind and gets her in position for a German suplex! He looks at Nathan, who pulls himself back up to his feet and nods. Nathan charges at Sadie and hits her with a clothesline just as Liam delivers a German suplex! Nathan hooks the leg and goes for the cover as Liam makes his way over to his corner.
One…
Two...
THRE...Sadie kicks out in time!
Taj: What were you saying about teamwork, America?
America: I guess The Regulators do have what it takes to be a good team!
Nathan turns toward the opposite corner of the ring and mouths something toward Jane that the camera is unable to hear. Jane glares at him angrily. Nathan then grabs hold of Sadie and bounces her head off of the mat. He pulls her back up to her feet and keeps a grip on her from behind---trying to set her up for a back suplex! Sadie flips out of it and lands on her feet behind him. Nathan turns around and charges at Sadie, only to have her duck underneath his clothesline attempt! He bounces off of the ropes and tries to pick up speed---only to have Sadie duck down and trip him up with a drop toe hold! Nathan tries to pull himself back up to his feet, but gets hit hard with a running knee strike! Nathan stumbles back to his corner of the ring and rests against the turnbuckle. Sadie smirks and lines herself up with Nathan, calling for the fans to start cheering. They oblige, much to her happiness.
Sadie then charges into the corner and tries to deliver a handspring back elbow to Nathan. MacAleese ducks out of the way at the last possible second, causing Sadie to crash hard into the turnbuckle! Liam tags himself into the match. Both wrestlers hoist Sadie into the air and slam her to the mat with a double suplex! Liam then covers.
One...
Two...
TH...KICK OUT!
Taj: That was another close one!
Liam delivers a hard stomp to Sadie's leg before slowly dragging her back up to her feet. He hits Sadie with a series of strikes before shooting her back against the ropes. He waits for Sadie to come back on the rebound before lifting her into the air and delivering a backbreaker! Sadie is clearly in pain despite trying to drag herself back up to her feet. Liam shakes his head and lifts Sadie back up to her feet once again. He tries to power Sadie into the air, but she blocks the attempt and hits Liam in the ribs with a knee shot. She then quickly plants Liam on the mat with a DDT!
Taj: Sadie Cassidy needed that!
America: Liam was smart to roll out of the way, though…
Sure enough, Liam begins to drag himself back up to his feet, trying to shake off the DDT. Sadie stumbles back to her corner of the ring and tags Jane back into the match. Jane stands on the apron and waits for Liam to pull himself back up to his feet. Once Liam is standing, Jane springboards into the ring and tries for a crossbody block. Liam catches her in the air. Sadie suddenly runs forward and hits Liam with a hard kick, Jane landing on top of Liam. The referee counts the pin.
One...
Two...
TH...KICK OUT!
America: You have to love the creativity of the teamwork that we're seeing right now…
The referee goes to escort Sadie back to her corner of the ring. Jane uses the opening to claw away at Liam's eyes in an effort to wear him down. When the referee turns around, Jane grabs Liam and drags him back up to his feet. She then sends him right back to the mat with a snapmare driver! Jane smirks and steps back to the ropes, waiting for Liam to begin stirring. Once he does, she tries to run forward, but Nathan reaches over the ropes and trips her up by pulling her hair!
Taj: Foul play!
Jane smashes into the mat! Liam closes the gap between the two of them as Sadie angrily rushes over to defend her partner. Nathan and Sadie begin to focus their efforts on one another near the ropes, the referee trying to gain control. Back in the ring, Liam begins to drag Jane into position, only to have her once again claw at his eyes! As Liam is briefly blinded, Jane uses the opening to deliver a Rio Lobo Driver (Quackendriver 3)! She covers.
One...
Two...
THREE!!!
Torres: The winners of this match...AND NEW...1WM WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS….The Regulators…”Calamity” Jane Adler and Sadie Cassidy!!!
Taj: Both of these teams did what they needed to in order to win, but in the end, it's The Regulators that pick up the win and become our first ever World Tag Team Champions!
America: What an amazing match! I’m utterly shocked that Regulators Incorporated have become the first 1WM World Tag Team Champs!
Taj: Well that’s our time, folks! Congratulations again to Sadie Cassidy and Jane Alder! Join us tomorrow night as Legendary Four continues with Night Two!

Three Way Debut Match
“Crimson Queen” Morgan Malice versus “The Natural” Jacob Striker versus Erick St. John
“Crimson Queen” Morgan Malice versus “The Natural” Jacob Striker versus Erick St. John
Taj: This debut should really be a barn burner, America.
America: Might have to agree with you on that, Taj. I’ve heard some good things about Morgan and Jacob. And I remember when Erick was active a couple of years ago.
With the match officially underway, Striker, Malice and St. John begin to circle, and suddenly Malice rocks Erick St. John with a charging european uppercut which sends him staggering back. Malice wastes no time drilling Striker with a rapid forearm flurry before turning back to St. John with a headbutt.
Taj: Erick nearly tore her head clean off and snapped her spine simultaneously with that impromptu headlock backbreaker!
America: That one will put the brakes on anyone in a hurry.
Erick goes for the cover, yet Striker breaks it up by delivering a crushing forearm and swinging St. John around then doubling him over with a knee to the sternum, following up with a textbook northern lights suplex and then trying to transition for a cross armbreaker, yet Malice stomps on the back of Striker's head and hauls him up to his feet in the pumphandle position.
America: Oh! STAY IN WONDERLAND on Jacob Str..
Up on Malice's shoulders, Jacob fights desperately with forearms and palm strikes until Malice is too disoriented to hold on and she drops him. Jacob lands on his feet and he's just in time for Erick St. John to catch him and try to launch him with an exploder suplex, yet Striker flips out and kicks Malice in the gut and seizes her in the DDT before reaching back and dropping St. John with a stunner at the same time!
Taj: Brilliant combination! Cover!
One…
Two..
THR…
America: It ain't over yet, Erick St John be gettin' the shoulder up, Taj!
Striker shakes his head in disbelief as he spots Malice on all fours and delivers a pump kick to the face before taking the arm and hauling her to her feet and then irish whipping her into the corner. Striker tries to do the same with Erick St John, but he's met with a flurry of elbows to the midsection.
America: ST JOHN HAULIN' STRIKER UP IN THE CRUCIFIX! This could be ove…
Striker manages to wriggle free of Humble Thyself and drop St John with a crushing back elbow. Morgan Malice lets out a roar as she springs out of the corner to take Jacob's head off with a spinning backfist, yet Striker catches her arm!
Taj: APOCALYPSE by Striker onto Malice onto the torso of St. John! That Emerald Flowsion lands BIG TIME!

Pride of 1WM Over the Top Battle Royal
(Winner awarded the Pride of 1WM Championship)
Zoe Larks versus “Starstrukk Princess” Talia Lea versus "The Last Real Family Man" Bernard Cornelius versus "Miss 1WM" Bianca Le Blanc versus Bishop versus Brie "Dashie" Mari versus "The Pain Maker" Cain Dominguez versus "Professional Wrestling's Last Chance" Campbell Chase versus Cassie Morse versus Chris Shields versus Clarissa versus Dexter Calloway versus Diana versus Eric Calloway versus Graham Baker versus Grayson Kingsley versus Izumi Sato versus James Gordon versus Joanna "Bengala" Cavalera versus Lash Donohue versus Naldo Lopez versus Olivia Rhodes versus Patti Rose versus "Ya Girl" Q versus Ryan Henderson versus Solomon Monster versus Stasi Herveaux versus Terra Mason versus "Pretty" Ricky Stanton
Taj: This is about to be epic, Taj. We are about to crown the first ever Pride of 1WM Champion, America.
America: All my money is on Bianca LeBlanc!
As Legendary Six returns from commercials all thirty competitors are now in the ring. The match starts off with Bernard Cornelius in the center of the ring, yelling about how the country is in bad shape and that he’s going to fix it. The 29 others in the match stand around, shaking their heads and rolling their eyes, before Diana runs forward and hits a running double knee strike. Stasi then swoops in and locks in Misery Business (over the shoulder single leg Boston crab), wrenching back hard and holding it for a few moments as the others just look on.
Stasi: Comment va ce vieil homme?!? (How is this old man?)
After she releases the hold, all hell breaks loose as everyone starts fighting. Before anybody realizes what’s going on, Joanna Cavalera goes over the top rope as Stasi Herveaux looks on and smiles.
Torres: Joanna Cavalera has been eliminated!
Taj: Joanna is the first to be eliminated.
America: Can’t say I’m surprised.
Back in the ring, there’s still a lot of chaos going on. It looks like Diana and Stasi are working together while the Headhunters look to be wearing down two members of the crowd. Through all the chaos, Ricky Stanton can be seen exchanging blows with Naldo Lopez before driving a thumb to Naldo’s eye before hoisting him above his head. He carries Naldo over to the ropes and goes to toss him out, but Naldo grabs the ropes at the last minute and keeps himself in the game. He goes to hit Ricky with a forearm smash but it’s blocked before Ricky delivers one himself, knocking Naldo off the apron and onto the floor.
Torres: Naldo Lopez has been eliminated!
Taj: Ricky Stanton notching his first elimination by sending Naldo to the floor.
America: He’s so pretty!
The man known as El Desenmascarador doesn’t look too happy as he heads backstage. Back in the ring, we can see Lash Donohue going after Bernard Cornelius, wearing the older man down with a furious and desperate flurry of punches, forearm smashes, knees and kicks. On the other side of the ring, it looks like Akira and Diana are fighting each other as Akira has Diana lifted onto the ropes, fighting to push her over. Diana slides to the apron and Akira goes to hit a roundhouse kick, but Diana ducks it and instead hits Akira with a kick of her own, sending the debuting Akira stumbling back. Akira doesn’t look pleased and comes charging at Diana and goes soaring over the top rope to the floor as Diana pulls down the top rope.
Torres: Akira has been eliminated!
America: Well that’s one way NOT to make an impression in your debut.
Diana sits on the apron and laughs before sliding herself back into the ring. The goings-on in the ring were still pretty chaotic as the match continued on. Off in one corner Stasi Herveaux and Diana were trying to eliminate what looked like Patti Rose as The Headhunters worked on James Gordon. The camera pans around the ring as Clarissa has Izumi Sato draped across the top rope on the commentator’s side of the ring. Izumi drops to the apron and uses the ropes to get up to her feet only to be met with Clari-go-round (Discus elbow smash). She drops to the arena floor and mere seconds later James Gordon goes flying out of the ring courtesy of The Headhunters.
Torres: Izumi Sato has been eliminated! James Gordon has been eliminated!
Taj: Back to back eliminations!
America: This thing is going super fast, Taj!
Taj: Everyone in the ring has that desire to become the Pride of 1WM, America!
With a sixth of the crop now eliminated, tensions are starting to grow in the ring and people start to push themselves harder and do more. Bianca LeBlanc and Brie Marie are having themselves a catfight in the middle of the ring. After a bit, Brie manages to get Bianca up onto her shoulders looking for Sonic Boom (Fireman’s carry dropped into a shoot kick), but dumps her to the apron. Bianca senses what could happen and grabs a handful of Brie’s hair, pulling her over the top rope. They trade a few more back and forth blows on the apron before Bianca hits a hair pull backbreaker that causes Brie to fall to the floor.
Torres: Brie Marie has been eliminated!
America: You’re witnessing the first ever Pride of 1WM right there in Bianca LeBlanc!
Taj: It’s not over yet.
America: Might as well be. Miss 1WM has this thing in the bag.
The camera cuts back to the ring just in time to see Bishop eliminated by The Headhunters before Talia Lea and Clarissa come into view. Talia has a wrenching abdominal stretch locked in on Clarissa who squirms around before she’s able to get out of it. Clarissa whips Talia off into the ropes but Talia hooks her arms around it so she doesn’t go running back. Clarissa charges for a clothesline but Talia refuses to go over. Frustrated, Clarissa delivers a bicycle kick that knocks Talia loopy before going for another clothesline. This one is successful and Talia tries to catch herself from going to the floor but she can’t get her footing and falls back-first to the arena floor.
Torres: Bishop has been eliminated! Talia Lea has been eliminated!
America: I honestly didn’t know that Bishop was even still employed with 1WM.
Taj: Well...I….ummm…
Back in the ring, Solomon Monster appears to be doing a number on the smaller Grayson Kingsley. He hits him with a splash in the corner, causing Graydon to crumple to the mat in a heap of flesh and hair. Solomon pulls him up to his feet and throws him over the top rope. At the same time, Campbell Chase is working on newcomer Patti Rose. He sends Patti over the top rope and she manages to catch herself using the ropes. Campbell then uses his feet to try and push her off. Patti tries to come back through the ropes but Campbell drives a knee into her temple and then delivers a big boot that sends her to the arena floor.
Torres: Grayson Kingsley has been eliminated! Patti Rose has been eliminated!
Taj: Wow! I’m surprised that both Grayson and Patti are eliminated. I really thought one, if not both, were dark horses to win tonight.
America: Really, Taj? Really?! Those two were your dark horses?
Back in the ring, it is starting to become apparent that Stasi Herveaux and Diana are working together as they both have Chris Shields pinned in a corner. They eventually get him up and over onto the top rope, dropping him to the apron and he fights back with a forearm smash to Diana and then a rope aided enziguri to Stasi. Diana recovers first and charges Chris, hitting a double knee strike directly to his chest and sending him to the arena floor.
Stasi: BYE BITCH!
Torres: Chris Shields has been eliminated!
The teamwork between Diana and Stasi doesn’t stop there as they turn their attention to the debuting Zoe Larks who blasts both with rolling elbows, knocking them into the ropes. Zoe tries lifting Diana up over the top rope and succeeds in doing so, the two trading blows back and forth. And it looked like Zoe was going to come out on top… until Stasi yanks her backward, executing a flawless inverted facelock elbow drop. This allows Diana to get back into the ring and they lift her up, dropping her to the apron before she falls to the floor.
Torres: Zoe Larks has been eliminated!
Taj: Another debutant making an exit.
America: If it were me I would have never wanted to make my debut in a battle royale. Luckily in my career I never had to worry about that.
Bianca LeBlanc tries to take advantage of the slight distraction and throws Diana through the ropes before turning her attention to Stasi. The two brawl across the ropes, bumping into Cassie Morse who looks to be wearing down Campbell Chase with a corner foot choke, causing them to fall to the ground. Stasi manages to get on top, blasting Biance in the face with a brief series of mounted headbutts, leaving Bianca dazed slightly. The two stagger back up to their feet and Bianca hits Stasi with an eye rake before grabbing a handful of Stasi’s hair, looking for Queens Makeover (sitout facebuster), but Stasi is able to turn it around and hit Dirty Little Thing (inverted facelock double knee backbreaker). Stasi drags Bianca over towards the corner, throwing Graham Baker out of her way and ordering Terra Mason to move before lifting Bianca up and tossing her over the top rope. Bianca catches herself and drags her body up to a vertical base, a twisted smirk on her face. However, that smirk quickly disappears when Stasi hits her with Avada Kedavra (Heel kick to back of opponent’s head) and she drops to the arena floor.
Torres: Bianca LeBlanc has been eliminated!
Stasi: WHO’S THE QUEEN NOW BITCH!?
America: BOO!
Taj: Well your pick has been eliminated, America.
America: This is a dumb battle royale anyway. Like who in the hell is Stasi Deveruax anyway?! She better watch her back.
Campbell Chase now has the upper hand on Cassie Morse, ducking under a roundhouse kick and hitting her with a falcon arrow that knocks the wind out of her. Dragging Cassie back up to her feet, Campbell readies a forearm smash until Cassie hits him with a knife-edge chop, combining it with a jab that sends him back into the ropes. She takes a step back before charging at him again, perhaps looking for her running knee strike signature move but is caught off guard as Campbell lifts her high into the hair and she hits the arena floor with a sickening thud.
Torres: Cassie Morse has been eliminated!
Taj: Out goes Cassie!
America: I suppose being buddies with Arley doesn’t pan out all that well.
Back in the ring, it looks as though Graham Baker looked to eliminate Terra Mason, having her hoisted onto the ropes as she wraps her arms and legs around them. Graham just pulls her back into the ring and she is able to create some space between them, hitting a basement dropkick to his shins, bringing him down to a knee. Olivia Rhodes comes out of nowhere and hits him with a somersault cutter. Olivia and Terra lift him up and prop him against the ropes, hitting him with a series of blows to his abdomen. Olivia then backs away and goes towards another opponent, leaving Terra to charge at him with a clothesline that sends him over the top rope, his foot slipping off the apron before he falls to the floor.
Torres: Graham Baker has been eliminated!
America: And just like that Graham proverbial falls out of contention for yet another championship in 1WM.
Taj: There is no proof that he has fallen out of contention for the World Heavyweight Championship. He may very well receive a one-on-one match against the winner tonight’s main event.
A slight smile parts Terra’s lips as she heads back into the midst of chaos that was the remaining half of the crop. The camera picks up on The Headhunters trying to lift Soloman up over the top ropes. But since his arms and hands are free, Solomon is able to hit a double ax handle smash to one of the Calloway brothers. He tries to break free, but the brothers are soon joined by Campbell Chase and together the three of them are able to lift him over the top rope, sending him to the floor below. Smiling from ear to ear, the trio hold up four fingers to each other.
Torres: Solomon Monster has been eliminated!
Taj: The Headhunters have vowed that only person was going to walk out tonight as the Pride of 1WM Champion and it looks like they have ordained Campbell as that person.
The crop is starting to thin and on the far side apron, we see Cain Dominguez going at it with Ricky Stanton. The two are trading blows back and forth, each trying to get the other one knocked out. Ricky eventually delivers a thumb to Cain’s eye, causing him to stumble back a few steps, almost falling off to the floor. But Cain is able to catch himself with the ropes before charging for Fade to Black (Claymore Kick) and sending Ricky flying off the apron and into the security barrier on the outside!
Taj: OHMIGOSH!
America: Foul on the play! Foul on the play!
Cain sits on the apron with a smirk but doesn’t have any time to celebrate as Q comes running in and hits a low dropkick that sends Cain flying off the apron. She leans over the rope, laughing at Cain who looks at her in disgust. But that look of disgust soon turns to a smile as he can see Eric and Dexter Calloway come up behind Q and hoist her up and over the rope in one fell swoop, dropping her onto the arena floor right beside Cain.
Torres: Ricky Stanton has been eliminated! Cain Dominguez has been eliminated! Q has been eliminated!
With only 10 people left in the match, tensions instantly start to build up even more specifically between Bernard Cornelius and Ryan Henderson. There has been some beef between them for a couple of weeks and now it’s coming to a head. Ryan taunts Bernard by running circles around him a few times and Bernard tries to cut him off with a running knee strike, but he can’t get the height needed and it goes into Ryan’s abdomen, knocking the wind out of him. Bernard capitalizes on the slight distraction, yanking Ryan up to his feet and lifting him onto his shoulders, looking for his Patriarchal Slam. But the momentum was too much and he loses hold of Ryan who lands on his feet and hits Fatality (540 kick). Still a bit wearying from having the wind knocked out of him, Ryan rolls towards the apron and uses the ropes to pull himself up.
In the meantime, Diana and Stasi are each doing battle with one of The Headhunters: Dexter and Eric respectively. Stasi and Eric are having themselves a throw ‘em down, drag ‘em out as Dexter looks to have Diana backed into a corner. Using both feet, she pushes him away, creating some space between the two, keeping her back to the turnbuckle as she climbs up it. As Dexter comes running back, she hooks her legs around his neck and uses her body to flip him up over the top rope. He holds on for a few seconds, but Diana hits him with a double knee strike while holding onto the ropes that sends him off the apron.
Torres: Dexter Calloway has been eliminated!
Eric immediately stops in his tracks and looks shocked as his brother throws a bit of a fit on the outside. Back in the ring, Bernard and Ryan are going at it once again. Except for this time, Lash Donohue comes into the mix, stunning Bernard with a European uppercut before hitting a leaping forearm smash. But Ryan doesn’t take too kindly to this interruption, hitting Lash with a series of forearm shots of his own before following it up with a spinning back elbow. Ryan doesn’t have time to react because Bernard grabs him by the back of the head and flings him over the top rope… but Ryan holds onto the ropes! He goes to pull himself back into the ring, only to be hit with a splash, knocking Ryan off the apron before quickly turning around and gloating. Out of nowhere, Ryan’s wife Angelita comes down to ringside and goes to help her husband, but he just shakes his head.
Ryan: I don’t need help... I got this Angie.
America: You see that? Ryan was about to have his old lady cheat for him!
Taj: Actually he stopped his wife from assisting him. Ryan is a man of honor and integrity.
America: So you say.
With a nod, Angelita backs away as Ryan pulls himself onto the top of the security barrier. The fans erupt into a sea of cheers as he carefully stands up and launches himself back at the ring, flipping midair and landing feet first on the ring apron. Angelita stands carefully behind him, ready to catch him should he fall. But he doesn’t and the shocked look on Bernard’s face as he climbs back into the ring is priceless.
On the other side of the ring, Campbell Chase and Eric Calloway have been working on Lash Donohue, hammering around with punches and kicks before dumping him over the rope. Lash lands on the apron and goes to pull himself up, only to be hit with a low blow by the already eliminated Dexter Calloway and then falling to the arena floor.
Torres: Lash Donohue has been eliminated!
Taj: Talk about foul play. That was definitely a foul. Dexter has already been eliminated. He shouldn’t even be out here.
America: The ref didn’t see, I didn’t see it.
After that elimination, Campbell and Eric turn their attention to Stasi Herveaux and Diana who are stalking them like a couple of lionesses hunting their prey. Stasi instantly goes for Eric Calloway but Diana is cut off from Campbell by Olivia Rhodes who hits her with a big boot before turning her attention to Campbell and the two start trading blows. Eric lifts Stasi up and goes to dump her over the top rope, but she hooks her legs around his head and brings her with him. The two continue to brawl on the outside, Dexter trying to get involved only to have the sole of Stasi’s boot meet his face. Eric tries to lift Stasi up but she just shoves him away before hitting Avada Kedavra (heel kick to the back of the head), causing Eric to drop to the floor like a ton of bricks.
Torres: Eric Calloway has been eliminated!
Taj: Out goes that second Headhunter.
America: Whatever battle plan Campbell Chase has now he’ll have to make it work on his own.
Back in the ring, it seems as though Clarissa and Terra Mason are going at it against the ropes. The two ladies are brutal in their brawling, dragging one another to the mat while trying to execute a big move. Eventually they both get back up to their feet and get lifted up and over the ropes by the team of Stasi and Diana. Thinking they eliminated both ladies, Diana and Stasi head back into the fray. But what really happened was Terra and Clarissa dropped to the apron and continued to go at it. Terra backs away and climbs up the turnbuckle, poised and ready to strike at the top. Clarissa senses what is coming and charges forward, leaping up and nailing Terra in the head with a modified Clari-go-round (Discus elbow smash) that sends Terra falling to the floor.
Torres: Terra Mason has been eliminated!
Clarissa has one leg hooked over the middle rope and is holding on to the top with her heads, laughing in Terra’s direction. Her gloating comes to an abrupt end when Stasi Herveaux and Diana come running in and try to push her off the apron. Clarissa holds on for dear life as the two continue their onslaught against her, hitting punches and kicks to try and wear her down. Eventually the two look like their backing off and Clarissa breathes a sigh of relief… only to be met by two dropkicks that send her flying off the ring apron.
Torres: Clarissa has been eliminated!
America: Who. In. The. Hell. Is. She?
Two of the biggest competitors in the match notice each other and start circling the middle of the ring, waiting for the other one to jump and make the first move. Campbell would wind up being that person, instantly raining down punches and forearms to Olivia who puts her arms up to block them. He gets her down to her knees with a couple of kicks to the abdomen before pushing her backwards. He goes to lock in a Texas cloverleaf to wear her down, but she rolls over onto her stomach and squirms away between his legs. Getting back up to their feet, Olivia hits him with a superman punch before grabbing the back of his head and throwing him over the top rope and he lands on the floor with a thud.
Torres: Campbell Chase has been eliminated!
The Headhunters leap onto the ring apron and try to pull Olivia over the top rope, but she holds on. This attempt continues on for a few moments before Olivia dropkicks through the ropes, hitting Dexter as someone else hits Eric, both of their heads bouncing off the ring apron. Olivia doesn’t know who helped her but when she stands up and finds out it’s none other than Stasi Herveaux, they exchange a look and nod in a sense of mutual understanding. But that comes to an abrupt end when Stasi grabs hold of Olivia’s head and tights, running and throwing her over the top rope and landing right next to Campbell Chase who was getting back up to his feet.
Torres: Olivia Rhodes has been eliminated!
Taj: The majestic Olivia Rhodes has been eliminated. She was another competitor I thought would last until the end.
America: Meh...overrated.
Back in the ring, Bernard and Ryan are still going at it as Angelita cheers her husband on at ringside. Diana and Stasi decide to get in on the action, Stasi spins Ryan around and hits a saito suplex on him as Diana backs Bernard into a corner with a few jabs and kicks to the back. She wraps her arms around his back, looking for a German suplex but Bernard is able to counter this and darts around her, hitting one of his own. Bernard then turns his attention back to Ryan Henderson and when Stasi takes a few steps back, he charges and hits Ryan with a clothesline, sending him over the top rope. Ryan holds onto Bernard’s head with one arm and the rope with the other, somehow managing to hook a leg over the middle rope as Bernard falls to the floor.
Torres: Bernard Cornelius has been eliminated!
Taj: The Last Real Family Man has taken his swansong!
America: I’m honestly surprised that he’s lasted this long with all the enemies he has amassed in the company since the day he’s walked through the doors.
Angry at what had just occurred, Bernard grabs Ryan by the ankle and tries to yank him down, Diana and Stasi getting in on the action by trying to free his hand and his other leg. But the kibosh gets put on this as Angelita comes running in, hitting Fatal Flaw (double knee facebreaker) on Bernard. Stasi and Diana stand there in astonishment as Ryan laughs and gets back into the ring. Angelita starts yelling at him in Spanish, standing over him.
Ryan: That’s you getting the chancla bro.
America: See I told you Ryan and his old lady were cheaters! Bernard was simply trying to assist Ryan with his unlaced boot!
Taj: You really don’t believe that do you, America?
America: Of course I do. You saw it. I saw it. The entire state of Texas saw it! Ryan should be ejected from the battle royale ASAP!
Ryan turns around and gets blindsided by a superkick from Stasi and then a running double knee strike from Diana. Stasi and Diana try to dump him over the top rope, but he hooks his legs around Stasi’s head and instead Stasi goes over the top rope. She hits him with a roundhouse kick before spinning him around and pinning his arms behind him through the ropes. Diana takes this as a sign and takes a step back before launching a roundhouse kick of her own in his direction. At the very last second, Ryan ducks and the kick instead makes contact with Stasi who crashes to the outside.
Torres: Stasi Herveaux has been eliminated!
Taj: Stasi lasted as long as she could but was inadvertently eliminated by her partner in this battle royale.
America: “Inadvertently”, huh? Let’s run with that.
Taj: Nonetheless we are down to the final two competitors and only one of these two will finish the night as the first ever Pride of 1WM Champion!
Diana stands there in shock, looking down at Stasi before Ryan Henderson spins her around, nailing her with a forearm smash in the face. He then scoots behind her and wraps his arms around her waist and lifts her up. Diana is able to roll through this and hit Ryan with a wheelbarrow footstomp. Ryan kicks his feet a little bit before Diana pulls him up to his feet. She whips him off into the ropes but he jumps up onto the middle one and springboards off, hitting a diving clothesline.
Ryan then hoists Diana onto his shoulders and walks over to the ropes, dumping her over the top in a spinning way and delivering a knee strike as she comes down for Killshot before she falls to the floor.
Torres: Diana has been eliminated! Therefore your winner and the first ever Pride of 1WM Champion… RYAN HENDERSON!
Angelita slides into the ring and celebrates with her husband who’s on his knees, exhausted and looking over the moon. The couple hugs and exchanges a cute kiss before she helps him up to his feet. Ryan is then handed his newly won championship and hoists it up as the fans erupt into a sea of cheers.
Taj: Ryan Henderson is the Pride of 1WM Champion! Congratulations!
America: Well who in the hell would have thought that this guy would be the first ever Pride of 1WM? There is nothing championship material about Ryan Henderson at all.
Taj: Except that Pride of 1WM championship he has just won!
Since they both have their backs turned, they don’t see Diana glaring with rage after sliding back into the ring. They realize this when she hits a double underhook backbreaker on Angelita before hitting Ryan with a German suplex. The fans are shocked as Diana stands tall in the ring.
Taj: What a poor display of sportsmanship by Diana.
America: Way to go, Diana. Ryan may have won but don’t let him or his old lady bask in the victory!

2020 Legendary Tag Team Cup Tournament: Final Round
Damon Xalvador and “Cornfed” Cassie Morse versus Griffin Hawkins and “The Wildkard” James Spade versus The Master Sisters (Moonlight Master and Aurora Master)
Torres: The following match is the Final Round of the 2020 Legendary Tag Team Cup Tournament and it is a Triple Threat Tag Team match!
“Under Belly Of The Beast” by Danzig plays as Damon Xalvador makes his way out.
The heavy drum opening to KISS's "I Love It Loud" fills the arena and the video wall comes to life with a graphic of taped fists crossed over each other in front of a billowing Stars & Bars flag background. During the drum beat, the initials “C” and “M” appear before they give way to the name “CASSIE” “MORSE”. As the voices of the band members sound with the opening war cry, the curtain flies open and out comes Cassie, yelling under the volume of the music -- probably joining in with the vocals themselves. She’s fired up and ready to go as she paces the stage, taking in the energy of the crowd; she bounces on the balls of her feet, head down, shaking her hands out at her side. It’s time to go and she starts down the walkway, slowly lifting her eyes towards the ring with an intense, focused stare.
Stand up, you don't have to be afraid
Get down, love is like a hurricane
Street boy, no I never could be tamed, better believe it
Guilty till I'm proven innocent
Whiplash, heavy metal accident
Rock on, I wanna be the president
'Cos I love it
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want to compromise
Despite watching the ring with the eyes of a hardened fighter, Cassie still shows the love to the fans; reaching out with one hand to slap hands as she goes by. As she reaches ringside, she runs those last few steps and slides forward into the ring and immediately hops up to her feet. Cassie runs to a corner, hopping up onto the middle turnbuckle, yelling to the crowd with her fists clenched and trembling with the urge to go. She straightens her posture on the ropes and gives her “measuring up” hand pose - thumbs and index fingers out. Some fans in the crowd return the gesture and it gets a smile from the Cheatham County native. She unzips her sleeveless entrance hoodie, peels back the hood and drops to the mat off the turnbuckles, removing the garment and hands it off to a ringside attendant. Cassie stays in her corner and just starts slowly shadow boxing, and side twisting to get some extra loosening up in as she waits for the match to start.
Torres: Introducing first….DAMON XALVADOOOOOORRRRRR and CASSIE MORSSSSSSEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Taj: Damon and Cassie have been impressive throughout this entire tournament. I don’t think many people expected them to make it this far.
America: They have defied the odds thus far… why should they stop now?
Astrid Samson: Can I be honest? Damon was a part of Iconic Pro Wrestling very briefly and while he was impressive to a point… he didn’t really last long. I think he might be a hindrance to Cassie.
America: And I actually stated that opposite earlier tonight. Based off of Cassie’s performance since being in 1WM I wouldn’t wager money on her.
”Wild Child” by W.A.S.P and Griffin Hawkins makes his way out onto the stage. "Walk on Water" by Ozzy Osbourne plays and James Spade meets Griffin on the entrance stage. The two make their way to the ring and get ready to let fly, the music setting the mood for their brand of good time wrestling.
Torres: And their opponents….GRIFFIN HAWKINNNNNSSSSS and JAMES SPADDDDDDDEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taj: The crowd will be behind these two for sure!
Astrid Samson: After that spectacle at the beginning of the show… yeah. But keep in mind, they’re also a team that was thrown together.
”Love is a Parasite” by Blanck Mass plays as Moonlight and Aurora Master make their way out to the ring.
Torres: And their opponents...representing The Master Sisters…..MOONLIGHHHHHTTTT and AURORA MASTEEEEEERR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Astrid Samson: Aurora and Moonlight have to be the favorites heading into the match merely based on the fact that they’re an actual tag team both in and out of the ring.
Taj: Not all the other established tag teams made it far, some even getting knocked out in the first round.
America: But Moonlight and Aurora have stood the test of the tourney. They’ve been my hands on favorite since its started.
Taj: Well here we go!
DING DING DING!!!
Griffin and Spade race over and knock the sisters onto the apron from behind. Cassie steps back as Damon cracks the two veteran men with a clothesline that crashes them both into the turnbuckles. Damon drops to all fours in front of them and Cassie runs over for a poetry in motion into the corner. Griffin falls to the mat face first. Spade walks out of the corner right into a dropkick from Cassie and big boot from Damon. Cassie for the cover.
One...
Two...
T...KICK OUT!!
Taj: Right out of the gate and the veterans Griffin and Spade don't waste any time going after the two sisters… neither did Damon either.
America: That was some good team work from Cassie and Damon.
Astrid Samson: Given a start like that… yeah, that looks like that's going to be the case. But given my experience, things can go to hell in a handbasket VERY quickly.
America: Definitely.
Griffin grabs Damon and throws him to the floor. Griffin climbs the closest corner and jumps off the turnbuckles onto Damon on the floor.
Crowd: OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Cassie hops up, runs across the ring, and executes a suicide dive out onto Griffin and Damon on the floor that smashes all three of them hard into the barricade!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!!
Spade pauses, waiting, glaring down at the others on the floor. As the others start to get to their feet, Spade starts to get to the top turnbuckle. Barely on the middle one, Aurora and Moonlight grab him from behind and pull him off for a double powerbomb. Aurora covers.
One...
Two...
THR...Cassie DIVES IN TO MAKE THE SAVE!!!
Moonlight grabs Cassie and drops into a side cradle.
One...
Two...
THR...Cassie KICKS OUT!!!
Taj: No one is holding back here tonight! The phrase “going balls to the walls” is very poignant.
America: As they should. They are fighting for a shot at the 1WM Tag Team Championships in December at Massive and the 2020 Legendary Tag Team Cup.
Astrid Samson: And there’s a team I don’t understand why they’re a team. I’m more surprised that Lash Donohue comes from the same DNA sequence as Arley Kirk.
Griffin climbs up onto the apron and Aurora gives him a dropkick. Griffin holds onto the rope to keep from tipping. Moonlight gives him a big boot that almost sends him to his doom but Griffin manages to hold on. Cassie gets to her feet and the three of them hit Griffin with dropkicks simultaneously that sends Griffin flying down onto Damon, smashing both of them hard into the barricade again!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!!
Taj: Goodness gracious what an impact!
America: I think Damon and Griffin might be done for this match now. That’s twice in recent minutes...
Taj: I don’t know how Damon got up after the first one!
America: Me either…
Astrid Samson: Oh this is getting good.
Cassie delivers a back elbow to Aurora and then one to Moonlight. As the ladies fall away, James Spade comes up behind her for an O’Connor roll.
One...
Two...
THR...KICK OUT!!!
James Spade is propelled forward into a double superkick from the Master Sisters. Cassie gets to her feet and Aurora gives her a knee to the gut. With Cassie bent over, Moonlight comes through with a scissors kick. Cassie goes down and Aurora covers.
One...
Two...
THRE...James Spade BREAKS IT UP!!!
America: Not only are they trying their everything to win… they also are doing their best to make sure they’re not left out in the dark when it comes to the pin.
Taj: Yes indeed! There’s a thirty-three and a third percent chance for each team that they’re going to win and a sixty-six and a sixth percent chance that they won’t.
Astrid Samson: Tag team wrestling is no easy feat. You have to worry about so many people at one time. But the team that comes out on top tonight will have deserved it.
Aurora low blows Spade and Moonlight follows with a clothesline that sends Spade into the ropes. Cassie gets up and rushes at Spade for a flying leg lariat but Spade doubles over and Cassie goes flying over him, crashing to the cold, hard thinly matted concrete floor below!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!!
Moonlight and Aurora dive at Spade’s legs, taking him down. Moonlight grabs his ankles while Aurora heads across the ring. Moonlight pulls Spade up and then back down with the Masterpiece (fireman's carry cutter)! While that is going on, Aurora goes to the top on the opposite side of the ring and leaps off and connects with a moonsault!
Taj: Oh this isn’t looking too good for Spade right about now.
Astrid Samson: It looks like it’s the end.
America: He’s going to need a miracle to recover from this.
Moonlight pulls him to the middle of the ring for the cover.
One...
Two...
THREE!!!
Taj: The Master Sisters got ‘em!
America: Cassie went big and paid for it!
Taj: And Spade got got!
America: That he did…
Astrid Samson: That was… that was a great match… phenomenal for sure.
Torres: Here are your winners and the 2020 Legendary Tag Team Cup winners...The Master Sisters...Moonlight and Aurora Master!!!
Taj: That was an absolutely AMAZING match and a great way to finish off the inaugural 2020 Legendary Tag Team Cup Tournament! Congratulations to the Master Sisters!
America: I second that statement. Moonlight and Aurora Master certainly proved that they’re a force to be reckoned with and at Massive will get a rightful 1WM Tag Team Championship match!.
Astrid Samson: Maybe Moonlight and Aurora will be guests someday on Caffeine & Cognac. That is coming soon after all.
America: Hey Astrid, whatever happened between you and Bri…
Astrid Samson: No comment.
America: Awe...come on!
Astrid Samson: I said no comment. I didn’t come here to talk about me or my wrestling, only to advertise Caffeine & Cognac.
Taj: Well, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us here on Legendary Eleven “Double Down” at the lovely T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
America: We hope you all enjoyed it and we’ll see you next time at Legendary Twelve “1WM Does Disney”...live from the parking lot of Disneyland in California!
~~
The show returns back to Taj still standing in front of the bank of monitors.The veteran Legendary commentator is beaming.
Taj: Welcome back to Legendary Thirty-Two “Best Of…!” This trip down memory lane so far has been a blast! I had totally forgot that both Jacob Striker and Erick St. John debuted together. Talk about being linked to each other.
She giggles before composing herself.
Taj: We still have plenty more memories to visit. So without further adieu let’s jump right back into Legendary Thirty-Two “Best Of…!”

1WM Tag Team Championship Match
The Antichamber Match
Symphony of Destruction(Coda and Ursula Von Rossbach) vs. The Dog Pound (Bradley Alford and Tom Torch) vs. The Shinigami Foundation (David Belmont and Alex Slayer) vs. The Connelly Twins (Angelita Henderson and Kylie Connelly) vs. The Headhunters (Eric and Dexter Calloway) vs. The Master Sisters (Moonlight and Aurora Master) ©
Torres: The following contest is the Antichamber Match for the 1WM Tag Team Championships! Four teams will be locked inside the inner pods while the final two teams begin the match. Every five minutes a pod will be unlocked at random and a team will be allowed to enter the Antichamber. After all six teams have entered, the last team left uneliminated will be declared the winners and the 1WM Tag Team Champions! Elimination can occur at any time after a team has entered the Antichamber and may be a result of pinfall or submission!
Nipsey Hussle’s "Last Time That I Checc’d" starts playing and the two California brothers, Eric and Dexter Calloway, walk out nodding their heads along. They make their way down to the ring, looking just as ready to party as they are to fight, which to them is almost the same thing anyway. The two men climb the stairs, entering the Chamber, and walk along the apron before entering the ring and entering their pod in the back left corner of the Chamber structure.
Torres: Introducing first weighing in at a total combined weight of four hundred and sixty pounds….representing the Kali Kartel….they are Eric Calloway and Dexter Calloway….THE HEADHUNTERRRRRRRRRSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taj: Here are two of the most hated men in the entire company, America.
America: The Headhunters are only hated because nearly everyone wishes they could be them! Eric and Dexter have no filter and tell it like it...and even more than that they are more than capable of backing it all up.
“Whatever it takes" by Hollywood Undead starts up and David Belmont and Alex Slayer walk out onto the stage as the crowd gives them a mixed reaction. The two men make their way down the ramp, walk to the ringside area and then step inside the Chamber to face The Headhunters in their pod. The two men step into the pod in the back right corner.
Torres: Introducing second weighing in at a total combined weight of four hundred and twenty-three pounds….they are the team of David Belmont and Alex Slayer….THE SHNIGAMMMMIIIIII FOUNDATIOOOOONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!
Taj: And now what is quite possibly the hardest hitting team enters their pod.
America: There’s no disputing that one. If either one of them hit somebody, that person is going down and not getting back up!
Taj: You think The Headhunters are ready for that?
America: Duh...
Love is a Parasite by Blanck Mass hits and all three Master Sisters make their way through the cheering crowd to the ringside area. Moonlight leads them over the railing and they make their way to the door. Dawn takes her leave as Aurora and Moonlight walk up into the Chamber. They raise their 1WM Tag Team belts high for the world to see and then take their place in the right front corner pod.
Torres: Introducing next they are the current, reigning, defending 1WM Tag Team Champions... the team of Aurora and Moonlight Master….THE MASTERRRRRRR SISTERRRRRRSSSSSS!!!!!!
Taj: Here are the Tag Team Champions!
America: The match hasn’t started yet...
Taj: What is that supposed to mean?
America: It means they might be fine now, but look at what they are locked inside that thing with!
”Under Black Flags We March” by Arch Enemy plays as Symphony of Destruction make their way out, Coda itching to sprint down while UVR holds her back. Ursula Von Rossbach steps in front of her teammate and slowly starts backing down the ramp with Coda constantly trying to blow by her. UVR continues to try to calm Coda down, having next to no success. They come to the ring and Coda runs right in, immediately beginning to pace around the ring in anxious anticipation. UVR stands on the floor shaking her head. UVR nods and finally walks into the Chamber as well. She pats her Coda’s shoulder and then the two enter the last pod on the front left.
Torres: Introducing next at a total combined weight of three hundred and sixty-one pounds...they are Coda and Ursula Von Rossbach…. SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTIOOOONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!
Taj: This team was a last minute insertion into this match and they are highly favored to walk out of the Antichamber victorious as the new Tag Team Champions.
America: Doubt it. Everyone in this match is cocky BUT Coda and especially that pompous Ursula are off the charts cocky. It’s that cockiness that’s going to be their undoing tonight.
"Love to the Beat" by Warner Chappell Production Music hits as Angelita Henderson and Kylie Connelly make their way onto the stage. The identical twins make their way down the ramp slowly, cautiously. They enter the Chamber and look around the ring, smirking.
Torres: Introducing next weighing in at a total combined weight of two hundred and forty-five pounds….they are the team of Angelita Henderson and Kylie Connelly….THE CONNELLY TWINNNNNSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taj: This is, without a doubt, the biggest match for either of these women!
America: Possibly the meanest too.
Taj: And with no rules...
The lights go out, bathing the arena in darkness. As the siren goes off, red lights start flashing and ”Hide and Seek” by Eppic starts up. Dustin Holt steps through the curtain and leads his charges, Tom Torch and Bradley Alford, towards the ring. They walk down the aisle, almost seemingly enjoying the scorn heaped on them by the onlooking crowd. Dustin walks up the steps, slips through the ropes and then stomps to the middle of the ring as Tom and Bradley make their way to opposite corners. All three raise their arms triumphantly as the crowd boos them harshly, the teams in the pods before them, Coda and UVR in front of Tom and Belmont and Slayer in front of Bradley, glaring out at them, Coda going so far as to pound on the pod wall. Dustin exits and the two remaining Dog Pound drop down off the turnbuckles to turn and meet in the middle of the ring to stare down Angelita and Kylie.
Torres: And finally, weighing in at a total combined weight of four hundred and twenty-two pounds….the team of Tom Torch and Bradley Alford….THE DOG POUNNNNNDDDD!!!!!!!!!!
Taj: The Dog Pound wasting little time in trying to stir things up with the Symphony of Destruction and Shinigami Foundation here tonight.
America: That could end up being a mistake but that assumes they survive The Connelly Twins and The Headhunters!
DING DING DING!!!
Taj: HERE. WE. GO!
The bell sounds and the four wrestlers stare each other down in the ring, Tom pairing off for the gazing with Angelita while Bradley and Kylie do the same for each other. The crowd rumbles in anticipation as the four stand in the middle of the ring, not moving a muscle, all of them seemingly trying to psyche out the others. Coda starts bouncing on the inside of her team’s pod and all four glance over at her, smirking cruelly.
Tom steps away from the group and waves at Coda. As Coda starts to hammer away even more on the pod wall, Bradley, Angelita and Kylie all follow suit, waving and almost laughing. Back in their own pod, Eric Calloway and Dexter Calloway join in the fun knowing full well nothing is going to happen.
Coda steps back from the pod wall, practically shaking with rage as she watches the four inside the ring laughing. She glances over and sees Eric and Dexter laughing as well and punches the chain roof. Tom moves in closer as Bradley goes over to smirk at the members of Shinigami Foundation in their pod. Angelita and Kylie glance back over at the Dog Pound and then rush in behind Tom and Bradley. Angelita hits Tom with a heavy forearm from behind sending the man face first into the turnbuckles while Kylie nails Bradley from behind with a stiff forearm as well. Bradley hits the ropes and Kylie clotheslines him hard, sending him over the top out onto the steel grate floor! Bradley sits up, writhing in pain from the impact. Angelita shoots Tom out of the corner and Kylie catches him for a wicked spinebuster into a cover.
One...
Two...
TH...KICK OUT!!!
Angelita moves over and nods as Kylie drags Tom up. She turns and flips off Coda and Ursula before shooting Tom off to the ropes. Tom rebounds and Kylie delivers a beautiful dropkick to Tom’s face. Kyle covers.
One...
Two...Bradley breaks it up!
Taj: The Connelly Twins are really bringing it!
America: If Angelita and Kylie have any chance in this inhumane contraption they will need to utilize their quickness with hit and run tactics.
Angelita moves in and starts trading punches with Bradley. Angelita, Bradley, Angelita, Bradley, Angelita, Bradley, Angelita, Bradley. Kylie stands up, dragging Tom with him. Kylie picks Tom and whips him into Bradley. Bradley falls into Angelita and the two tumble through the ropes out onto the steel. Kylie tosses Tom into the corner and then rushes in after him, crushing him in the chest with two flying knees! Tom tumbles face first to the mat. Smirking, Kylie rolls Tom over to take the cover.

The lights dim to let the spotlights start to shuffle through all four corners until a buzzer sounds. The lights stop on the Symphony of Destruction pod. The door opens and Coda and UVR rush into the Chamber. Tom staggers up and eats a clothesline from behind from Angelita. As Tom goes down, Coda and UVR catch Angelita coming in for a spear/dropkick combo. Kylie and Bradley stand up on the steel and start hammering away on each other. Coda covers Angelita.

Torres: The Connelly Twins have been eliminated!
America: Well damn!
Taj: Symphony of Destruction came into the Antichamber hot and heavy!
America: So much for the twins gaining the titles.
Kylie grabs Bradley with both hands and tosses him into the Chamber wall. Bradley bounces off the chains and Kylie cracks him in the mouth with an elbow to knock him down again. The fans cheer loudly as Kylie drags Alford back up and there are a couple of ominous “POP” sounds as Connelly bounces his head off the glass of the nearby pod.
Taj: Kylie trying to break that glass! This could get gory!
Nearby, Coda and UVR get to their feet and start to move in on Tom. Kylie moves into the ring and drops UVR with a running bulldog as Angelita staggers up and hits a double knee backbreaker to Coda!
Taj: That move from Angelita on Coda can’t be good for Coda’s already injured back?
America: Coda knew the risks coming into this match. She’s let her own pride and Urusula’s lust for notoriety get her into a situation that could be career ending.
The Chamber opens and referees pour into the structure to try and move The Connelly Twins off. Angelita and Kylie each punch a couple of referees before security enters and manages to hustle the two women out of the Chamber.
Taj: The Connelly Twins might have just left their mark on this match even in defeat!
The spare referees help their brethren out as the clock starts to tick down again.

The lights dim to let the spotlights start to shuffle through all four corners until a buzzer sounds. The lights stop on the Master Sisters pod. The door opens and Moonlight and Aurora rush into the ring just as Tom staggers up to his feet. The Champions catch him with a double dropkick and then run to opposite sides of the ring. They rebound off the ropes and Aurora goes into a tumbling pass that ends with a senton splash at the same time that Moonlight comes in with a running leg drop. Moonlight holds for the cover.

Taj: You have to wonder how long Coda’s back can hold up the longer the Symphony of Destruction lasts in this?
America: Adrenaline and cortisone injection will only take you so far.
Moonlight turns and snaps off a kick at a rising UVR but the Lady Terminator catches her leg and spins into a dragon screw leg whip. Moonlight goes down and UVR goes to pull up Tom. The Dog Pound member quickly pulls UVR down into an inside cradle.

Belmont and Slayer move into the ring and Bradley tries to rush them. Belmont and Slayer catch him for a double spinebuster before spinning off into clotheslines attempts on UVR and Tom. Both would-be victims duck and then turn into dropkicks. The Shinigami men go down on their back. Coda runs over to jump off UVR’s and Tom’s backs into a shooting star press!

One...

TH...BOTH UVR AND TOM KICK OUT!!!
Taj: There could have been two team eliminations right there!
America: You know I was thinking, imagine if Alex and David only worked for 1WM? If they could just focus on one company I bet they would have been our Tag Team Champions by now.
Taj: Well Shinigami Foundation could be on the cusp of being those champions tonight.
Aurora and Moonlight run up on Bradley and hit him with kicks, Aurora going low with a dropkick, Moonlight going with a big boot! Bradley falls back against the ropes and Moonlight hits him with a big boot. As he stumbles off the ropes, Moonlight can faintly be heard whispering, “Please don’t die”, before she lunges forward to connect with a KO Punch! Aurora goes to the ropes and Moonlight rolls away. Aurora leaps off with a beautiful moonsault!

The lights dim to let the spotlights start to shuffle through all four corners until a buzzer sounds. The lights stop on the final pod housing of The Headhunters. Dexter and Eric Calloway rush into the ring. Coda and UVR catch Eric for a double flapjack! Dexter jumps on UVR to keep her from covering Eric. Coda turns and eats a Yakuza kick from Belmont. Dexter turns around and eats a backdrop driver from Slayer. Aurora and Moonlight drag him back up and hit Slayer in the back with a big boot/dropkick combo that sends him tumbling over the top rope out onto the steel. Ursula follows him out and whips Slayer into the pod with another ominous cracking sound!
America: Oh I do like what Lady Terminator has going here!
The fans are eating it up as Von Rossbach gives the signal and runs at Alex Slayer with a massive spear!
*CRACK!*
Taj: Thank goodness that glass pod just doesn't wanna break!
Ursula seems frustrated as she bounces his head off the mesh and rolls Slayer back into the ring.
America: Don't go speaking too soon!
Back to the action in the ring, Coda turns back around to face Dexter, and immediately stumbles back into the corner as he spits in Coda's direction and just bitch slaps the taste out of her mouth!
Taj: HOW DISRESPECTFUL!
America: Get on before you get spit on!
Taj: That's the ultimate in disrespect.
Dexter looks over and cusses as he sees Eric busily under fire from a UVR strike onslaught, and he seemingly changes his mind on what he had planned. D. Calloway drags Coda out onto the steel and goes to ram her face into the mesh, yet Coda catches him with a back elbow! Coda tries to drag Dexter back into the ring, but he holds his ground. This time, he tries to whip her into the side wall, yet Coda swings Dexter back around!
*SMASH!!!*
Taj: OHMIGOODNESS! Coda just hip tossed Eric Calloway through the glass pod!
America: This is why we can't have anything nice!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
As the other wrestlers hear the glass smashing, they all instantly run over, but nobody faster than Eric who launches over the top rope onto Coda with an impressive clothesline and starts to rain down punches on the Busan Beast! Coda's able to turn the tables and it devolves into Eric and Coda rolling around Dexter in broken glass on the steel while they punch the everloving hell out of each other!
Taj: While every team in 1WM has a hatred for the Headhunters, right now it’s Symphony of Destruction that hates them the most!
America: Eric and Dexter are part of 1WM’s Most Hated Group for a reason, Taj.
In the meantime, Slayer had climbed up on the top rope and then up onto the top of the pod for some death from above, yet had gotten caught by Moonlight Master who had hooked Slayer up for a top rope superplex, but Slayer was busily hammering away at Moonlight trying to avoid it!
Taj: Aurora's trying to make this a double superplex!
Aurora quickly climbs up there too. The crowd roars with approval as Ursula Von Rossbach moves faster than anyone has possibly ever seen. She scrambles up onto the top and manages to ensnare Aurora with a modified electric chair drop position, while Aurora has Moonlight in an awkward back suplex type predicament due to The Masters getting caught on their top of the structure superplex on Slayer and this causes the entire 'tower' to sway, and finally 'topple'!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Taj: TOWER SUPLEX ELECTRIC CHAIR BACKDROP COMBINATION TO ALEX OFF THE TOP OF THE MESH!
America: HOLY SHIT!
Ursula scrambles over for the cover.
One..
Two..
THRE...Belmont breaks it up with a guillotine leg drop to the back of UVR's head!
Taj: That was soooo close!
Belmont goes for the cover on Ursula as an act of defiance, but it backfires as he looks around. Coda grabs the top rope and launches herself back into the ring with a sunset flip on Belmont, taking him down and causing him to roll out of the ring and onto the steel. Coda rolls away holding her back in sheer pain. UVR drags Slayer back up, letting out a grunt as she powerbombs him right onto Aurora as hard as she can! UVR goes for the cover.
One...
Two...
THREE!!!
Torres: The Master Sisters have been eliminated!
Taj: The Tag Team Champions have been eliminated! The Master Sisters will not be retaining!
America: Cry me a river, Taj.
Belmont staggers up and UVR hauls him into the corner for an Irish whip before hauling him up onto the mesh atop the pod. The crowd grows ever more excitable as Ursula follows Belmont up there herself. Once there, UVR connects with a sitout piledriver through the mesh!
America: SIT OUT PILEDRIVER ON THE MESH! Or should I say, THROUGH the MESH!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLT SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
As UVR cautiously hops back down, Coda rolls out to the outside, pops up and hits the Sonata Knee (running high knee to the head) into a cover on Slayer, the referee diving into position.
One...
Two...
THREE!!!
Torres: The Shinigami Foundation has been eliminated!!!
Taj: Alex and David are eliminated! Either Symphony of Destruction or the Headhunters will be the next 1WM Tag Team Champions!
America: Ohhhh….it’s about to get bloody now!
Eric Calloway gets to his feet and tackles Coda through the ropes. As UVR steps back, Dexter groggily rolls her up, grabbing her tights as he does.
One...
Two...
THREE!!!
Taj: That’s just...
America: That’s exactly right….that’s justice!!!
Taj: How can you say that?
America: Because it’s been a long time coming!!!
Torres: Here are your winners and NEW 1WM Tag Team Champions...Eric Calloway and Dexter Calloway...The Headhunters!!!
Taj: This is just not right!
America: No, it IS right! The true kings are on their rightful throne!
Taj: But...
America: Uh-uh! No buts! The kings sit on their throne!
The Headhunters quickly snatch the title belts from the referee, make a beeline out of the Antichamber structure, and dash up the rampway without even looking back.
Taj: What a night we have had here in Manchester. On behalf of my colleague, America Vaughn, I’m Taj Hennessey Monroe, and we like to thank everyone for joining us at Legendary Sixteen “One Night in Manchester”.

Pride of 1WM Championship Match
“Queen B” Bianca Davis vs. Rei Park ©
Torres: The following is a PRIDE OF 1WM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH scheduled for ONE FALL or SUBMISSION with a THIRTY MINUTE time limit!
"Bad Bitch" by Babe Rexha plays as Biana Davis, followed behind by Joshua Samson, makes her way to the ring.
Torres: Introducing first….the challenger….hailing from Malibu, California….weighing in at one hundred and twenty five pounds….standing at a height of five feet nine inches….she is Queen B…BIANCAAAAAAA DAVIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bianca and Samson strut down to the ring, looking at the fans in disgust.
Taj: It’s interesting to see Samson out here with one of his clients. He is normally very selective when making his appearance at ringside.
America: Because he knows tonight is the night that my girl Bee finally claims 1WM championship gold and wants to witness it firsthand like the rest of us, Taj.
The techno like beat of “Monster” by EXO begins to play throughout the arena’s sound system as the beat and the anticipation builds.
Torres: Coming to the ring next...hailing from Seoul, South Korea...weighing in at one hundred and twenty five pounds…..standing at a height of five feet three inches….representing the Seoul Queens….she is the current reigning and defending Pride of 1WM Champion...she is REIIIII PARRRRRRRKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right after the lyrics begin, Rei Park bursts out from behind the curtain as subdued hues of purple and blue colored lights flash around the stage. She is exuding confidence, evident by the huge smile on her face as she holds her arms out to her side, bent at the elbow. When she reaches the top of the stage, she slowly pushes her hands out forward before a quick flick of the wrist down and up. She jumps up and her legs go out, hands slowly but quickly moving up her torso before her right hand goes out in front of her and she waves her pointer finger in a no motion before bringing it and her legs in together, knees bent as she gives a quick shake of the hip.
As Kai’s part of the first verse begins, Rei makes her way down towards the ring. Her arms remain at her side but swing freely as she prances down. Upon reaching the ring as the chorus begins, she hops onto the ring apron, knees down and arms spread across the rope before slowly getting up. She hits a pose with a smile before stepping into the ropes.
”You can call me monster.”
She quickly climbs a turnbuckle and hits the stage pose again, holding it for a few moments before hopping down, waiting off to the side as she listens to her entrance music fade out, being replaced by the thunderous cheering of fans.
Taj: Rei coming into her second defense of as the Pride of 1WM Champion and you have to think this might be her most difficult defense.
America: You better believe it is. All bias aside on my part, Rei is a good little wrestler but we have to remember that this kid hasn’t been doing this at the level of Bianca. Rei used brass knuckles to defeat Jacob Striker for the title and she’s going to have to use tactics like that to even hope to hang with Bianca.
Rei hands her belt to the ref, who shows it to Bianca. Davis looks at it and then over at Rei.
Bianca Davis: This is about to be mine, bitch!
The ref shows the belt to the crowd and hands it to the ring attendant before calling for the bell.
DING DING DING!!!
Rei and Bianca run to the center of the ring and start wildly trading right hands. Rei gets the better of the exchange and sends Bianca off the ropes. Bianca reverses and hits a Beautiful Boot right away! Bianca covers.
One...
Two...Rei kicks out.
Taj: Right out the gate Bianca is looking to end this!
America: Sound strategy. You’re looking at the newest Pride of 1WM Champion.
Bianca brings Rei to the corner and begins smashing her head into the top turnbuckle, followed by a few smashes into the middle turnbuckle, followed by some smashes into the bottom turnbuckle. She finally relents. Rei sits in the corner and tries to catch her breath while the referee tries to add some separation between the two competitors. Bianca dismisses the ref and starts choking Rei by putting her boot on Rei's throat. The ref counts to four and Bianca releases. She gets Rei to her feet and whips her in the opposite corner. She charges, but Rei gets her feet up. Bianca stumbles away, allowing Rei to hit a flipping neckbreaker. She covers.
One...Bianca kicks out.
Rei locks in a double underhook and throws Bianca with a butterfly suplex. Bianca rolls out of the ring to catch a break from Rei's onslaught, but Rei runs towards the ropes and lands on Bianca with a somersault plancha. The ref begins a 10 count while the ladies lie on the floor. Rei gets up first and brings Bianca back into the ring. She sends Bianca off the ropes but Bianca reverses and hits a running knee lift. Bianca walks around the ring for a second to get her bearings. Rei begins to stir and Bianca gets a handful of hair. She whips Rei by her hair and throws her across the ring. She prances around the ring to the boos of the fans. She grabs Rei's hair a second time and throws her across the ring. The ref admonishes her, but she just gives him one of those "talk to the hand" gestures. She grabs Rei's hair a third time, but this time, Rei swats Bianca's arms away and gives her a roundhouse kick, which causes Bianca to fall like a stack of bricks. Rei covers.
One...
Two...Bianca kicks out.
Taj: Rei is determined to hold on to her title!
America: Duh! She is the champ and that’s what champions do.
Rei brings Bianca into the corner and drapes herself over the top rope with a hanging figure four necklock. The ref counts to four and Rei releases the hold. She gets back on the apron and attempts to run Bianca's head into the adjacent top turnbuckle, but Bianca gets her foot on the middle turnbuckle to block it. No worries, as Rei simply hits another roundhouse kick, which sends Bianca down to the mat. Rei climbs up to the top turnbuckle and comes crashing down with a diving double knee drop. She covers.
One...
Two...Bianca kicks out.
Rei immediately follows up with Parseltongue. She pulls back with all her might as Bianca struggles to break free. Somehow, Bianca manages to separate Rei's legs and flips herself back, actually putting Rei in a pin.
One...Rei quickly releases her hold to get out of the pinning situation.
Taj: This match has really displayed the fact that both of these women, regardless of how you feel about them, truly know how to wrestle.
women quickly get to their feet. Rei charges at Bianca, who moves out of the way. Rei hits the ropes and runs at Bianca again. Bianca scoops Rei up, but Rei turns it into a tilt-a-whirl headscissors, followed by an armbar. Bianca punches the mat in frustration that she can't get the better of Rei. She struggles to get to her feet, but once she does, she resorts to raking Rei's eyes to get out of the submission. The ref admonishes her, but she ignores it. She sends Rei off the ropes and hits a spinning heel kick. Not wasting time, she locks Rei in a front facelock and sends Rei headfirst into the mat with Crowned. She goes for the cover.
One...
Two...
T...KICK OUT!
Bianca pounds the mat while yelling at the ref.
Bianca Davis: That was three!
The crowd boos her whining but she waves the fans off. She gets Rei to her feet again and crushes her with a hair pull backbreaker. She covers again.
One...
Two…
THR...KICK OUT!
Taj: Rei will not stay down!
Bianca continues yelling, “Count faster!!” at the ref. She gets Rei into the corner and starts talking trash to her, smacking her across the face in between sentences. Samson cheers on the display of disrespect.
Taj: That is definitely not cool!
America: Open palm is all legal, Taj.
Rei finally has enough of Bianca's abuse and pushes her away. Bianca charges back at Rei, but is met with a stiff discus elbow smash. Bianca stumbles backwards as Rei charges and hits a jumping implant DDT. Bianca's head bounces off the mat and she lands on her butt before falling on her back. Rei covers.
One...
Two...Samson puts Bianca’s foot on the ropes.
Taj: HEY!
America: Hey what?! The referee didn’t see it. Besides, Joshua was only inspecting Bianca’s boots for untied laces.
Taj: That’s a load of crap!
Rei gets her up and whips her into the opposite corner. She charges and hits a handspring Stinger splash. Bianca falls to her butt and Rei squashes her with an inverted cannonball. She pulls Bianca out of the corner and climbs to the top turnbuckle, where she soars in the air and hits a beautiful rounding moonsault! She goes for the cover.
One...
Two...Bianca kicks out.
Rei is not perturbed. She backs up and waits for Bianca to get to her knees, then she charges and goes for the Poison Apple, but Bianca ducks. Rei and Bianca both quickly get to their feet. Bianca kicks Rei in the gut and sends her down with the Queens Makeover! Bianca stalks and waits for Rei to get to her knees. When she does, Bianca goes for her own shining wizard, Coronation. This time, Rei ducks. When they both shoot to their feet, Rei hits another roundhouse kick to Bianca, who spins around, allowing Rei to hit Fire Soul!
Bianca falls to the mat face first but Rei wastes no time in setting up her finishing move. She lifts Bianca for the Burning Mandala, but Bianca breaks free, lands on her feet, and hits a hair mare. She somersaults backward and delivers mounting punches to the Pride of 1WM champ. When she tires herself out, she gets to her feet and waits for Rei to stand up. When Rei does, Bianca goes for the Red Bottom Boot, but Rei sidesteps and whips Bianca into the corner, comes off the ropes, and attempts Snake Eyes, but Bianca pulls the ref in the way!
America: A very savvy veteran move right there by Bianca!
Thankfully, Rei stops short of kicking the ref. This allows Bianca to sucker punch Rei from behind the ref. Rei stumbles a foot away. Bianca moves the ref out of her way. Rei turns around and eats a fatal kick from Bianca.
Taj: RED BOTTOM BOOT!
America: This has to be over now!
Bianca covers, hooking the leg. Samson jumps with glee as he counts along with the referee.
One...
Two...
THREE!!
Torres: The winner of this match…. AND NEW Pride of 1WM Champion….Bianca Davis!
Samson quickly joins his client in the ring. The ref hands Bianca the belt. He goes to raise her hand but she pulls it away. She holds the belt in the air and struts around the ring with it, insulting the fans while she does it.
America: And just like that, Bianca hits a sudden Red Bottom Boot and becomes the new Pride of 1WM Champ! That’s my girl!
Taj: Yeah, but she had to resort to a sucker punch to have the opportunity to hit her finishing move.
America: All’s fair in love and war!
By this point, Rei has rolled out of the ring and is on her knees on the outside. She holds her chin in pain as she scowls at Bianca, who continues to celebrate with her new crown and Samson. Suddenly a dark haired female comes out of the crowd and dives into the ring. She sneaks up behind Bianca and wallops her with an axe-handle smash that buckles the new champ at the knees!
Taj: WHAT IN THE WORLD?! BIANCA DAVIS HAS JUST BEEN ATTACKED BY A FAN!
America: That’s...that’s no fan, Taj. That’s Kelli Saint!
Shocked at the sight of Kelli, Samson stumbles back into a corner. Kelli snatches Bianca up before she can come to her senses and slams her back down with a devastating back body drop. Kelli begins to stomp on Bianca, not letting her even get his bearings; kicking her again over and over.
Taj: This really needs to stop! Kelli and Bianca were teammates in the recently defunct WWA!
America: Kelli is incensed. She wants to smash Bianca’s world!
The ref calls for Kelli to break it up, but Kelli ignores the official. She picks Bianca up and head butts her several times before pulling her into a bearhug. Bianca is beaten senseless and is out of breath but still Kelli carries on her attack. Kelli lifts Bianca up only to drop her right back down with an Argentine backbreaker drop!
Taj: This attack makes no sense at all, America.
America: You’re telling me.
Security finally rush the ring to grab the furious Kelli Saint, who hurls profanity at Bianca. Confident that he’s out of danger, Samson slinks out of the corner to check on his client.

DING DING DING!!!
All four teams claim their respective corners. Brianna and Damon step forward to start the match off. Damon glances over at American Carnage for a moment before sending a hard right into Brianna's face! She retaliates with a right of her own, quickly following it up with a knee to the gut. She grabs Damon's hair and slams him face first into the mat, smirking as the crowd boos. Damon rolls to his feet, charging at Brianna. She sends a hard kick to his head, but he ducks underneath it and bounces off the ropes, hitting a flying forearm! Both of them quickly get to their feet. Damon closes in, sending a kick to her gut before snapping off a quick DDT! He goes for the cover!
One…
Two…Brianna kicks out!
Taj: Damon trying to go for a quick victory!
America: Not in the eyes of everyone else. Nobody made a move to break that up.
Taj: Bet they would have felt foolish if it worked though?
Damon gets to his feet, dragging Brianna up with him. She pushes him away and he runs in, only to be taken down with the same kick to the head she was looking for earlier! She grabs his foot, dragging him to her corner and tagging in Justice. Brianna drops an elbow to Damon's knee as Justice climbs up the turnbuckle and jumps off, landing with both feet on Damon's leg! The crowd groans as Justice grins, throwing her arms in the air.
Taj: Quite the vicious move by Justice!
America: She's out to prove everyone who doubted her wrong and that she is a main event level wrestler in this company.
Aurora watches in concern as Damon clutches his leg, his face full of pain and anger. Justice stalks him as he tries to crawl to his corner, shaking her head. She steps on his knee, applying pressure for a few seconds before jumping up and stomping on it. Damon clutches his knee again, but Justice grabs his leg, kicking it a few times before dropping an elbow on it and beginning to wrench it. Damon grits his teeth and reaches forward, grabbing hold of Justice's head and raking her eyes. She quickly lets go of the hold and Damon rolls away as fast as possible, finding himself in a corner and throwing his hand up. Smirking, Conway tags himself in, stepping into the ring and picking Damon up, throwing him out of the ring! Conway turns around, looking at Justice with fiery eyes.
Justice keeps her distance, mocking Conway as he tries to close the gap. He shakes his head, then rushes in, nailing her with an elbow! She hits the mat hard, but jumps up immediately, running to the nearest corner and tagging in Aurora, who just looks at her in disbelief. Justice laughs as she hits the mat and rolls out of the ring. Conway shakes his head, watching her before turning to Aurora, who has climbed up to the top rope. She leaps off, hitting Conway with a missile dropkick that makes him stumble back into the ropes. The female half of the Tag Champs gets up, quickly running in, and sending kick after kick into Conway’s stomach. Conway lets out a yell and shoves her away, but Aurora runs back in, only to eat a nasty forearm to the face! Conway drags her up and clubs her right on the back of the neck which causes her to let out a pained yell.
America: Sounds like Aurora's not one-hundred percent yet!
Taj: Would you really expect her to be after that vicious sneak attack at Glory Seventeen “Love Hurts”! I’m honestly surprised that the Fallen Angels are wrestling tonight!
Damon climbs up on the ring apron in his corner, nursing his knee a bit as he watches the action. Conway clubs Aurora on the back of the neck again, sending her face first into the mat. He steps on the back of her neck, using the ropes for leverage! The referee tells him to get off and Conway just laughs in his face, standing on her neck for a few moments longer before stepping off. He drags her up, pulling her in and hitting a nasty swinging neckbreaker! He goes for the pin.
One…
Two…Alex Slayer breaks up the pin.
Conway laughs and points at Alex, telling him to wait his turn. He picks up Aurora again, lifting her into the air and nailing a nasty brainbuster! He goes for the cover again, but both Alex and Justice rush in, quickly kicking him off her! Conway gets to his feet, going right after Justice, who backs up to her corner. Alex takes the opportunity to drag Aurora to his corner, jumping back out on the apron and leaning over the ropes, tagging himself in! Justice rolls out of the ring as Conway shakes his head, turning around right into a spinning heel kick! Both men pop up and Alex takes Conway back down with a clothesline!
Taj: Alex is like a wrecking ball in the ring right now!
Conway gets back up and eats a dropkick from Alex, sending him to the mat again! Alex pops up and hits Conway with an elbow drop, hooking the leg!
One…
Two…Conway gets a shoulder up as Bannon has a leg through the ropes.
Alex grabs Conway by the hair and drags him toward his corner, reaching out a hand to Bane. Conway sees this and lifts Alex up, nailing a hard back suplex before the tag is made, the entire stadium booing. Alex tries rolling to his feet, but Conway charges, nailing a hard kick to his ribs. He kicks again, sending Alex all the way to the mat. Conway tags in Bannon, then picks Alex up, hitting a vicious backbreaker! He holds him over his knee as Bannon climbs up to the top rope. Bannon sets up to jump off, but Bane is in the ring, booting Conway in the side of the head. Damon is in, running across the ring, and dropkicking Bannon right on the knee, sending him tumbling to the floor outside! The crowd roars as both men are forced back to their corners.
Taj: American Carnage had some bad intentions but Thomas and Damon decided otherwise!
America: Don't know why Damon got involved? He shouldn't give a damn either way.
Taj: Have you forgotten that this is for the Tag Team Championship?
America: Oh yeah…
Alex starts to crawl to his corner as Bane stretches out his hand. Conway begins to stir, rolling onto his side. Alex stretches out his hand, still quite a few feet away from his partner. Conway grabs at Alex's foot, trying to hold on to him. Alex kicks at Conway's face a few times, getting him to release the hold! Alex leaps up and toward his corner, but Bannon pulls Bane off the apron just before the tag! Bane lands on his feet on the outside and grabs Bannon by the head, slamming him into the barricade! Inside the ring, Conway whips Alex into a corner, charging at him and sandwiching Slayer between him and the turnbuckle! Justice tags herself in as Alex slowly stumbles out of the corner. Conway turns around, grabbing Slayer, and nailing a wheelbarrow facebuster perfectly in the center of the ring! Conway hooks the leg, but the ref waves it off.
America: WHAT THE HELL IS THE REFEREE DOING?!
Taj: Evan Conway was not the legal competitor in the ring as such the referee didn’t count the pinfall!
Conway gets up, enraged, barking at the referee. He turns around to pick up Alex, but Justice leaps into the ring and hits a discus elbow right to Conway's temple! He hits the mat and Justice sits on her knees, soaking in the boos for a moment before raising her arm and kissing her bicep.
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Alex rolls out of the ring as Justice gets up, staring down at Conway before suddenly running to the Fallen Angel's corner, blasting both Damon and Aurora with forearms, sending them off the apron and to the floor outside! Justice turns and looks at the rising Conway, letting out a scream and running, looking ready to hit a big move! Bane slides into the ring, getting right between her and Conway! She slides between his legs, her eyes wide as she reaches to the ropes and pulls herself up. Bane turns around, but now Bannon slides into the ring, charging at Bane! The Shinigami member sidesteps and sends Bannon flying over the top rope! Bannon crashes right into Damon and Aurora, the back of Aurora’s head snapping against the barricade while Damon crashes into the front row!
Taj: Oh, that can't be good!
America: You think?
The referee forces Bane out of the ring, who is beginning to look more than ready to get in the match. Justice smiles, waving a finger in the air. Conway stumbles to his feet, swinging wildly at Justice! He nails her with a hard right, making her stumble toward The Shinigami Foundation's corner. Conway charges at her, but Justice rolls out of his way and Conway runs right into the outstretched hand of Bane! The crowd roars as he grips his neck, then tags himself in with a hard slap to Conway's chest! He then chokeslams him over the top rope before stepping over the ropes himself, finally entering the match!
Taj: Oh my! There's bodies all around the ring and the only ones standing are Thomas Bane and The Vixens!
America: This oughta be good!
Justice keeps her distance, cracking her knuckles as Bane slowly walks toward her. He lunges at her, but she ducks underneath his arms and begins kicking away at his legs, looking to take him down! He turns and goes for a beheading clothesline, but she ducks and he hits the referee instead! The crowd groans as the referee nearly does a flip from the impact, crashing to the mat!
Taj: OH NO!
Bane turns back to Justice, who sends her boot right into his crotch! He lets out a pained yell, his knees buckling and she begins kicking at his leg again, this time taking him down to a knee! She backs up, bouncing off the ropes, and leaps into the air to hit a knee drop! But Bane grabs her leg, gritting his teeth as he slowly stands up! Justice hops on one leg for a moment before leaping and hitting a picture perfect step up enziguri! Bane stumbles to the side, but stays on his feet. He turns around, looking Justice in the eye.
Taj: I think she just pissed him off?!
America: I think she accomplished that during the build up to this match! Now she's just throwing gas on the fire! Get out of there!
Justice runs to her corner, reaching to tag in Brianna, but Bane runs her down, wrapping his arms around her waist and hits a huge snapping German suplex! Justice flies across the ring as if she was ejected from a car crash, coming to a stop against the ropes! Thomas gets up, slowly walking toward her, his face unreadable. Brianna hops off the apron, throwing the timekeeper off his chair and folding it up. Alex stumbles to his feet and she blasts him dead in the face! Bannon gets up and she blasts him as well! Brianna slides into the ring and cracks Bane across the back with it! He turns around, his face now full of anger. Brianna is unfazed by the sight, pulling the chair back and hitting him right over the head with it! Bane stumbles back, bouncing off the ropes, and hitting her with a big boot! The chair and Brianna hit the mat and she rolls away, clutching her jaw as she goes to the floor outside! The referee begins to stir as Bane turns back to Justice, who leaps off the top rope, going for a cross body. But Bane catches her, throwing her up onto his shoulders.
Taj: What's he going to go for here?!
America: I don't know, but it can't be good!
Justice kicks her feet wildly, managing to wriggle free and land behind Bane. She sends the heel of her boot right into the back of his knee, bringing him down! Justice sends a hard kick to the side of his head, taking him all the way down! She takes a moment to catch her breath, but Bane sits up, beginning to get right to his feet. Justice shakes her head, looking less than amused, but terror in her eyes! Brianna suddenly rolls the hurting Aurora into the ring, then slides in herself! She leaps onto Bane's back, clawing at his eyes! He reaches up, grabbing her by the hair, and running to the ropes, trying to throw her over!
Brianna lets out a primal scream as she claws at his eyes again and his hands go to her arms. Brianna slides over him and snaps him off the top rope, causing him to stumble! Meanwhile, the referee is on his knee. Justice looks at Aurora, seeing her getting to a knee. She rushes forward and hits a shining wizard! Justice yells at the ref and hooks both of Aurora's legs, the groggy referee making the count.
Taj: WAIT! WAIT! AURORA ISN’T THE LEGAL COMPETITOR IN THE MATCH!
One…

Torres: The winner of this match AND NEW 1WM Tag Team Champions….Brianna Matthews and Justice Cross….The Vixens!!!!
America: Holy hell! Brianna and Justice win the Tag Team titles in their return match to 1WM!
The Vixens roll out of the ring, retrieve their newly won title belts, and make a mad dash up the rampway.
