We can see only the head and shoulders of EAVAN in a dark room, wearing her hair and makeup in her Harley Quinn styling, and she appears somber.
“A wise woman used to try and drill the concept in my head that family doesn’t get left behind. At every opportunity, I’d be gone like a rabbit leaving everyone else holding the bag while I’d be off who knows where with who knows who. Come to find there’s a deep-seeded reason for that, and I’ve been tackling that head-on. So, to everyone I’ve hurt, to everyone I’ve blown up at and said shitty things to get attention to, I’m sorry.”
Though we can only see the tips of her fingers, one could tell she’s tapping her chest as a sign of love. EAVAN’s demeanor shifts from somber to steeled,her eyes narrowing as she snarls.
“I also want to apologize to Marie Laurant, my opponent tonight. See, for the last few months I’ve had to sit on the sidelines, nobody willing to hire me, so I’ve only been able to take out aggressions on bags… and, well, bags and bones don’t have the same feeling to them. There’s no cracking or blood that pours out of a punching bag so I’m feeling a little pent up. So, tonight, you will have to put your modeling career on hold unless you’re trying to get a role as a triage patient, then you’ll be a shoo-in.”
EAVAN rolls her shoulders and pulls her neck from side to side, as she takes a calming breath while closing her eyes. When she opens them, her demeanor becomes mischievous, her range of emotions changing effortlessly.
“But let’s circle back to family, shall we? As far as I let on on social media that I was coming to One Wrestle Movement, I was coming alone. Hell, for a while, I thought I WAS coming alone until my phone rang. And the only thing the voice on the other end said was ‘Hey Krigare, see you when you land’. I hadn’t heard that name in a long long time, and it was then where those words came back to smack me upside the head. Family doesn’t get left behind.
Looking at the 1WM landscape, while there’s some legitimate talent, there are also some familiar names and faces with some unfinished business. Now, I’m not as stupid as I used to be and want to take on the world alone. One woman can’t take down a Kingdom, trust me on that.”
As the camera pans back, we see EAVAN on a Harley-Davidson flanked by two others on Harleys, wearing helmets. All three are wearing matching leather kuttes, with names like Krigare, Zombie, and Hairicin.
“Three on the other hand? Especially US three? One Wrestle Movement, hell is empty…”
The other two remove their helmets, and lean forward on their bikes, tossing red M&Ms at the camera.
“...and the Shieldmaidens are here.”

Taj: WELCOME EVERYONE TO LEGENDARY THIRTY-EIGHT!!!
America: Less talking, Taj…
"Downstait" hits the speakers as “Pretty” Ricky steps out and reaches for the hand of Bianca Davis
You took it all away, I give it all away
Can't take my freedom
Here to change the game, a banner made of pain
I built my kingdom
Now you bow to me
You took my dreams but not my name
You'll follow me until the end
I am my kingdom
Can't take my freedom
Here to change the game, a banner made of pain
I built my kingdom
Now you bow to me
You took my dreams but not my name
You'll follow me until the end
I am my kingdom
Boos fill the arena as the two head ringside. Ricky pulls the rope down to let Bianca in and he follows afterwards and grabs two mics…Ricky walks around laughing as the crowd boos louder than ever.
PRS: Let’s set the pace of what you’re looking at you losers! THIS….This is the Tragic Kingdom of Wrestling you pieces of trash and right now I want everyone to BEND THA KNEE….
Crowd boos again.
Queen Bianca Davis: Oh shut up peasants it is time for all of you to bend the knee come on you all can do it, bend the knee to the true Kingdom of this sport, the one that is brings tragedy to all who oppose it. Now, I know what all of you are thinking why on earth would I come back t One Wrestling after what happened, and why would I align myself with Pretty Ricky Stanton? It’s pretty obvious but since you are all too slow to get it I can spell it out for you.
Bianca smirks smugly at the booing fans, before placing a hand on her hip in obvious annoyance, before speaking again.
Queen Bianca Davis: Simple it is power, you see when I was last in this company I lost my Pride of 1WM title, the title I made, the title it was the division I made prosper, without me would that belt have the same meaning? Not a chance. But Josh you were right on one thing I should focus on higher goals being the amazing and magnificent Queen I am I require more than just a title that will come in due time because I will say this company needs Pretty Ricky or myself to be the one leading this company into the following years. But, let me explain this if you or Nina do try to stop us from doing what need to get that belt away from Q well, what happened last month would be just a small sample size of whats in store for you, and this entire company.
PRS claps.
PRS: You see, when I asked Bianca to come back and stand by my side I knew EXACTLY who I was dealing with - someone that knows how to carry herself, someone who has some of the finest attributes (looks her up and down) and carries herself with RESPECT unlike half the trash in this arena!! Q! Stop doing those sorry ass situps and look at the camera real quick (stares into the hard cam) you will fall at Joshie’s feet bleeding from the mouth and WHATEVER run you thought you had will be over!
You know B, I’m enjoying this reign. And the more people that see the light, the more people that look up to “The Crown” One Wrestle will realize very quickly the mistakes they have made. And when it’s all said and done, The Tragic Kingdom will reign supreme and YOU WILL TAKE THE KNEE.
Crowd boos again.
PRS: Oh you can boo, but you’ll boo and you’ll watch the takeover. AK, I know you’re watching, and I know you’re laughing, because you comprehend very little and I’m sure you got your head tilted like a dog trying to listen so here’s the deal: I’m going to humble you and show people the “War Machine” is nothing more than a plastic action figure easily broken!
The Queen lets out a cackle enjoying the statements of Pretty Ricky Stanton, as she puts the microphone up to her lips.
Queen Bianca Davis: The war machine, as I stated may be good may have a future but compared to either one of our legacies he simply, will never match. Both of us know what the top of this industry is like, we have conquered it time and time again and a War Machine is going to be broken right in front of the Queen, and King of One Wrestling the true rulers of this very company.
Bianca pointed down at the ring right, in front of her feet as she smirked toward the camera as she spoke again.
Queen Bianca Davis: That brings us to Briana Matthews, I don’t know if your are supposed to be a cheerleader for others, or fighting for your own. All month you have tried to insert others into the arguments including your own “best” friend just because you know deep down comparing us is like comparing a brand new Mercedes Benz to an old Ford on the side of the road. Tonight, you will see why as you come before me, you will realize that you are outmatched. You two are the stepping stones to our destiny.
PRS: And it’s gonna be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PRETTY… (drops the mic as the crowd boos louder as their music hits and they leave the ring.
Taj: The Tragic Kingdom putting the roster on notice.
America: The two most delusional people have aligned and I have no words for it.
Debut Match
Eavan vs. Marie Laurant
Eavan vs. Marie Laurant
Taj: Marie doesn’t look pleased, even for her. This is a particularly foul mood.
America: ...this is true...
Taj: We know next to nothing about Eavan.
America: Maybe that’s what pissed off Maria?
Taj: That could be it!
America: And thus… all existence trembles… as we agree on something...
DING DING DING!!!
Marie stares at Eavan, cocking her head. She turns back to see two of Eavan’s Shieldmaiden sisters at ringside. Using the distraction, Eavan moves in on her. Marie turns right into Drop the Nuke (RKO)! Marie goes down hard and Eavan covers.
One…
Two…
THREE!!!
Taj: What the hell did we just…?
America: Goddamn!
Taj: How did that happen?
America: That move is absolutely devastating!
Torres: Here is your winner….Eavan!!!!
Instantly the other two Shieldmaidens slide into the ring and all three commence putting the boots to Marie! The crowd boos the all out assault. Officials make their way down but by the time they reach the ring The Shieldmaidens are satisfied with the damage done.
Ya Girl Q stands in the backstage area, holding her 1WM World Heavyweight Championship belt with a fierce grip. The sound of the bustling locker room fades away as she focuses on the task at hand - defending her title against William Ryder.
Q: As I walk through the backstage area, I can feel the energy of the 1WM Universe buzzing around me. Tonight is the night that I, Ya Girl Q, will defend my 1WM World Heavyweight Championship against William Ryder. And let me tell you, I'm feeling good.
Some people might think that I'm arrogant, that I joke around too much or that I’m too lackadaisical. But the truth is, I've worked harder than anyone else in this business to get to where I am today. I've trained harder, I've sacrificed more, and I've put in more blood, sweat, and tears than anyone else in this locker room.
And that's why I'm the champion. That's why I'm the Premiere Athlete in 1WM. That's because, when it comes to this business, I don't mess around. I don't take shortcuts. I put in the work, day in and day out, to be the best.
And tonight, when I step into the ring with William Ryder, he's going to find out just how hard I've worked. He's going to find out that I'm not just some pretty face who relies on her looks to get ahead. He's going to find out that I'm a beast, a force to be reckoned with in that ring. He’s going to witness first hand I’m not afraid to drop a fool on their head.
I can already feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins as I think about tonight's match. I know that William Ryder is going to bring his best, that he's going to be hungry for that championship. But he's going to find out that hunger isn't enough.
When I step into that ring, I become something else entirely. I become a predator, a hunter. I'm not just trying to win, I'm trying to dominate. I'm trying to leave my opponent broken and battered, to make them regret ever stepping foot in the ring with me.
And that's what's going to happen tonight. William Ryder is going to step into that ring, and he's going to realize that he's in over his head. He's going to realize that he's not ready to face me, the champion, the beast, the queen of the 1WM Universe. Hi, Bianca. I’m sure you’re going to take issue with that statement.
Either way, when it comes down to it, I'm the one who deserves to wear this championship belt. I'm the one who has put in the work, who has sacrificed everything to get to this point. And I'm not going to let anyone take that away from me. I’ve rested up since that despicable attack on me last month. I’m ready to go tonight and I’m ready to prove YET AGAIN just why I’m the champ.
So get ready, 1WM Universe. Get ready for a show like you've never seen before. Because tonight, Ya Girl Q is going to defend her championship, and she's going to do it in style. She's going to do it with passion, with power, and with a ferocity that no one else can match.
And when it's all said and done, when the dust settles and the crowd goes wild, I'll still be standing tall, still be wearing that championship belt, still be the queen of the 1WM Universe.
As Ya Girl Q looks to end her promo, Aleki Kekoa walks into the shot, blocking the camera view of the champ.
Aleki Kekoa: I need to talk to you.
With a serious look on her face, and not trusting Kekoa from past altercations, Ya Girl Q is hesitant to address Aleki. Unfortunately, the cameras go back ringside before we can eavesdrop on the conversation.
Four Way Match
Journeyman Phillips vs. Sydney Simon vs. “Mr. Personality” Douglas Crane vs. Blake Belladonna
Journeyman Phillips vs. Sydney Simon vs. “Mr. Personality” Douglas Crane vs. Blake Belladonna
DING DING DING!!!
The four participants look each other up and down, trying to formulate their gameplans. Belladonna nudges to Sydney that they should work together and quickly dispose of the veteran Phillips with a double dropkick, sending him over the ropes and to the floor. The two turn their attention to Crane just in time to eat a double clothesline from the big man. Belladonna rolls out to the apron as Sydney tries to fight back against Crane.
America: Many debuting stars in this match tonight.
Taj: Absolutely. The Movement is growing and with these people as part of its future, The Movement’s in good hands.
Crane locking Sydney in one - two - three backbreakers before bending Sydney backwards before getting kicked in the back of the head of Phillips. Crane slowly comes up from one knee, slowly creaking his head to the side, seemingly whispering to Phillips “Release Me”. Phillips is taken aback by this but starts throwing punches at Crane, backing him to a corner before Crane SCREAMS “Release Me” at Phillips who backs into a backstabber by a waiting Belladonna.
Taj: Douglas Crane is a very imposing figure.
America: I heard the man’s only had maybe ten matches in his entire career but he’s definitely been the ring general in this match.
Belladonna, undeterred, charges at Crane in the corner but is caught by a STO out of the corner. The move’s momentum sent Crane staggering to the opposite corner. Before he can capitalize, Sydney slides back in, leaps over Belladonna and hits a hip attack on Crane. As Phillips is getting to his feet at ringside, Sydney tosses Crane out on top of him, and turns her attention to a rising Belladonna. Sydney with the Thot Attack (stunner) and rolls up Belladonna quickly!
One…
Two…
THREE!!
Torres: The winner of this match… Sydney Simon!!
Taj: What a debut by Sydney Simon!
America: She is definitely someone to watch here in 1WM.

America: And his target hit a bullseye!
We cut to the locker room area where Joshua Samson, ESQ is walking down a hallway, when the lights start to flicker. He stops, removes his expensive sunglasses and looks up, wondering what’s going on. He goes to start walking again but as the light flickers he sees a man standing off in the distance. He stops, wondering who that might be, perhaps “Pretty” Ricky Stanton or someone who is taking Ricky up on his offer. The light flickers again and the figure is gone.
Joshua Samson: What in the world?!
He decides to turn and go the opposite way and he runs right into newly signed Douglas Crane. Joshua shoves him but has no effect and then takes a few steps back.
Joshua Samson: Watch where you are going meath-… oh… it’s you… Look, remember what I said, don’t do anything stupid!
But Douglas is not listening, he is just staring off in the distance, without blinking, towards the end of the hallway where Samson might have seen someone. Samson looks behind him to see who Crane is looking at but there is nothing.
Joshua Samson: Right, well I’m going to take my leave now.
He goes to walk past Crane when the lights flicker again, and Crane grabs him by his throat and slams him against the wall. He then grabs him by his expensive suit and lifts him up, his eyes now full of rage.
Joshua Samson: Think…(coughing)... about…(coughing)... what… you…(coughing)... are… doing (cough cough)!
The lights flicker again, and Crane looks away, down the hall then back at Samson and now smiles.
Crane: Well sorry about that Mr. Samson.
He puts him down, straightens his jacket and dusts him off.
Crane: Just a little misunderstanding… Of course, we would not do anything stupid… We have no interest in gold… for now.
Samson says nothing, he just looks at him with a WTF look.
Crane: You have a good day now you hear ol’sport?
He slaps him on his shoulder and walks away, heading down the hallway, whispering to himself:release me, release me.
Samson adjusts his collar and puts his shades back on. Regaining his composure, he walks away, muttering something.
Samson: This is all Pritchard’s fault.
Backstage Jessica Anderson is getting ready for her match when suddenly Dexter Calloway grabs her by the throat out of nowhere. Jessica tries to fight her way free of his grip but Eric Calloway walks up and grabs her as well. The two of them get her elevated and put her through a table as the backstage area explodes into screaming panic!
Taj: What the hell are the Headhunters doing?!
America: Whatever they damn well please!
The Calloway brothers stare down at the unconscious form of Jessica and nod to themselves. Security rushes in with trainers and EMTs right behind them.
Taj: Jessica never saw that coming!
America: She damn well should have!
Taj: What does this mean for our first Three Way match?
America: I think we’re down one!

"Blackheart" Wil Pierce vs. Dexter Calloway
Taj: After that heinous attack byThe Headhunters upon Jessica Anderson, I have received word that the following match has been officially changed from a Three Way to a Singles match.
America: Dexter and Eric did us all a favor, Taj.
The referee looks at both men to make sure they’re ready before calling for the bell, the match now officially underway.
DING DING DING!!!
The two begin to circle around one another as they wait for an opening to appear. When it doesn’t happen, they grapple up and begin to struggle for the advantage. Wil is able to take control as he hits Dexter in the chest with a hard chop. He follows it up with a second and then a third.
Crowd: WOOO! WOOO! WOOO!
Wil then turns around and blasts Dexter in the mouth with an elbow smash! Dexter drops to a knee. Wil pulls him up and hoists Dexter into the air. He launches him over his head with a belly to belly suplex! Dexter crashes hard to the mat.
Taj: This is the kind of start that Wil needed!
America: You do know that he’s in there with one-half of the greatest tag teams in history!
Taj: But this isn’t a tag team match, America.
Dexter crawls over to the nearest turnbuckle and uses them to pull himself back up to his feet. Wil quickly closes the gap between the two of them. He blasts Dexter in the mouth with a forearm smash before dragging him over to the ropes. He shoots Dexter across the ring. Wil tries to get into position to send Dexter down to the mat with a back body drop on the rebound. Dexter stops himself just short of Wil and hits him with a hard kick! The impact sends Wil stumbling back against the ropes. He bounces off of them and charges forward with a fury. He blasts Dexter with a massive clothesline and drops to hook the leg.

Taj: This makes me wonder how these gentlemen would fair if Jessica would have been in this match?
America: Jessica is a joke of a wrestler that just happened to trip her way into being a Tag Team Champion.!
Wil grabs hold of Dexter and drags him back up to his feet. He kicks him in the ribs and tries to pull Dexter in for a DDT. Dexter spins out of it at the last possible second! He leaps into the air and hits Wil in the mouth with a jumping knee strike! Wil drops to a knee. Dexter grabs hold of him. Seconds later, he has Wil planted on the mat with a DDT of his own!

He tries to set Dexter up for The Knight Rider (snap double underhook DDT, sometimes elevated). Before he can, however, Dexter fights his way out of Wil’s grasp. This time, he successfully connects with a superkick! Wil drops down to a knee.
Taj: This isn’t looking good for Wil!
America: Did it ever?
Smirking, Dexter grabs hold of Wil. Seconds later, he plants him on the mat with a sitout rear mat slam! Wil hits the mat hard before Dexter goes for the cover.
One…
Two…
THREE!!
Torres: The winner of this match...Dexter Calloway!!!
America: And all is right in the wrestling world.
Taj: Very impressive solo victory by Dexter.
As Dexter celebrates inside the ring his music was abruptly cut and replaced with ‘The Day is My Enemy’ by The Prodigy. Everyone in the arena looks up at the entrance ramp to see the veteran grappler Journeyman Phillips step out from beside the curtains. There was a mixed response from the crowd; some cheers at the presence of an old and familiar face from other promotions, jeers from those familiar with his more recent exploits, and silence from those otherwise unacquainted.
America: What is this dude doing back out here?!
Taj: Your guess is as good as mine, America.
He walked casually down the ramp applauding the two men in the ring before him as they looked on with confusion. As the music died he pulled a microphone from his pocket and pulled himself up on the ring apron.
Journeyman: Bravo, chaps, bravo. Not only are you each a part of a reputable tag team, but highly proficient singles wrestlers also! Let me just say.. as an experienced tag team wrestler myself, a man that paved the way many years ago, for people like yourselves, I can honestly say I know good teams when I see them. And look, you don’t need my validation to prove your worth. Dexter, you’re a former One Wrestle Movement Tag Team champion, right? Those two shiny straps you once held tells everyone that you are one of, if not THE best team in this company. So I just wanted to come out here and say, congratulations on tonight’s victory, because I think we got off on the wrong foot. I came in here, to your house, making some bold claims about me and my sons. And instantly you pair started throwing insults, at me, the legendary Journeyman Phillips over Twitter. So I thought we should clear the air a bit, perhaps? And maybe I could give you a better first impression of myself. A better, and lasting, impression of the Journeymen actually. Because, as the old adage goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression…
Suddenly two men enter the ring on the other side from behind Dexter and Wil and attack them.
Journeyman: Let this be a lesson to you, and to everyone in this company, that I will not be disrespected. It’s because of people like me that you have a platform to run those mouths of yours. So believe me when I say me and my sons are not here to make up the numbers. We are not here to boost TV ratings, or simply pay our dues. We are here to continue this legacy. This journey is far from over.. you should be grateful just play a small part in it!

All three stand in the ring, ready for the match to get underway. The referee then calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!!!
Raijin looks on with a sadistic grin on his face as Eric and Sally both run at one another and begin to exchange hard right hands. The two exchange blows with one another as they battle back and forth across the ring. This continues for a few moments longer as the fans rise to their feet and begin to cheer. Sally is able to gain control as she bounces off of the ropes and hits Eric with a clothesline! She then grabs hold of him and drags him back up to his feet. Before she can do anything else, Raijin rushes at her from behind. He grabs hold of Sally and shoots her across the ring. When Sally returns on the rebound, Raijin lifts her into the air and dumps Sally out to the floor with a back body drop!
Taj: That one hurt!
America: Raijin is looking to win this match as quickly as he can!
Sally is slow to try and drag herself back up to her feet while on the floor. Meanwhile, in the ring, Eric grabs hold of Raijin. He spins him around and hits him with a European uppercut! He follows it up with a second. He then tries to pull Raijin in for a DDT! Raijin spins out of his grasp. He leaps into the air and hits Eric in the mouth with a knee strike that sends him stumbling! Rai comes up behind Eric, grab his wrist, and makes like he’s about to hit his Tornado Spike (ripchord into a short-arm clothesline) but instead when he whips Eric around, he strikes him with the *STIFFEST* Bitchslap that anyone has ever seen on professional wrestling television, it’s brutal and stiff enough that it knocks Eric down to his knees!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Raijin hauls Eric back up and across Rai’s shoulders before he drops him with a Go 2 Sleep hard right into his face! Rai hits the far ropes at a dead sprint, rebounds off of them, and as Eric slowly gets up to his knees, Rai catches him full force to the chest with a Penalty/Soccer kick!
Raijin covers as the referee counts.
One…
Two…
THREE!!!
Taj: Raijin Hunter pulls one out for The Mechanical Animals!
America: Meh…let’s see what he does in a tag match though…NEXT!

Kelli Saint vs. "The Straight Shooter" Jacob Striker
Kelli Saint vs. "The Straight Shooter" Jacob Striker
Taj: Kelli is going to be looking to stay on track in a big way tonight, I think...
America: I think she can do it! In fact, I KNOW she can do it!
Taj: Of course, let's not pretend that Jacob is going to make things easy for her...
America: Never meant to imply he would! Don't get me wrong, Taj...I know I’m HIGHLY critical of Jacob Striker but there is no denying his 1WM resume.
The referee looks at both wrestlers to make sure they're ready for the upcoming match.
DING DING DING!!!
The two waste little time meeting up in the middle of the ring. Jacob pounds away on Kelli with a series of forearm shots to try and wear her down. Kelli tries to fight back with a few chops of her own, but Jacob is able to take control of the match. He sends Kelli back against the ropes. When Kelli returns on the rebound, Jacob lifts her into the air and delivers a flapjack! Kelli crashes hard to the mat, but tries to groggily drag herself back up to her feet. Jacob bounces off of the ropes and boots Kelli in the head to send her down to the mat once again. Jacob drops an elbow onto her before going for the cover.

On the outside, Amanda cheers Jacob on. Jacob immediately grabs hold of Kelli's head and brings her back up to her feet. He hits her with two right hands to knock her groggy before bouncing off of the ropes. Jacob tries to set Kelli up for a clothesline, only to have Kelli leap into the air and cut him off with a dropkick! Jacob crashes to the mat but is wisely able to create space between himself and her. He reaches his feet with the help of the turnbuckle. Kelli charges in just moments later and delivers a big splash in the corner!
Taj: When you're as talented as Kelli is...
America: Not all that hard to turn a match around when you need to!
Jacob stumbles out of the corner. Kelli grabs hold of him and delivers a swinging neckbreaker! She hooks the leg while she goes for the cover..

Jacob tries to create space between the two once again. Kelli closes the gap and hits Jacob with a European uppercut. She follows it up with a second and then a third! Kelli then grabs hold of Jacob and tries to get him into position for a snap suplex. Jacob blocks the attempt with a few right hands. Kelli nonetheless tries to lift him into the air again, only to have the attempt blocked a second time. Jacob turns to the ref and complains that Kelli is illegally pulling his trunks. While the ref’s attention is diverted, Amanda hops on the apron and hits a fast, high impact move onto Kelli and then gets out of dodge before the ref can see or do anything. Amanda has a clear look of complete distaste on her face.
America: WHAT IN THE HELL?!
Taj: I can’t believe that Amanda just did that! Jacob has been preaching about traditional clean wrestling for the longest yet he allowed Amanda to get involved with this match.
Kelli recovers quickly and stares daggers at Amanda. Kelli then charges at Jacob---only to be lifted into the air and slammed to the mat with a Samoan drop! Jacob hooks the leg and covers.

THRE…KICK OUT!!
Taj: Oh wow, that was close!
America: This match needs to be thrown at immediately! Ref stop this match and award it to Kelli.

One…
Two…
THR…KICK OUT!!
Taj: Some intestinal fortitude being shown here from Kelli too!
Jacob shakes his head and mumbles something under his breath. He grabs hold of Kelli and drags her up to her feet once again. This time he tries to set Kelli up for The Apocalypse (Emerald Flowsion)! Kelli elbows her way out of Jacob's grasp. Jacob stumbles a few steps before charging at Kelli---only to get rolled up with a schoolgirl!
One…
Two…
TH…KICK OUT!!
Jacob stumbles back up to his feet---only to get cut off by a running knee strike from Kelli! He collapses to the mat.

America: Oh, that hurt!
Taj: Jacob blocked it!
Kelli stumbles back up to her feet. Jacob grabs hold of her and snaps off The Apocalypse (Emerald Flowsion)! He covers..

America: Tainted victory, Taj. Tainted victory.
The live backstage 1WM camera panned to a live stream inside a random locker room inside the Long Beach arena. The live camera continued to make its way around the well lit room, slowly moving its way throughout the cluttered room until an unknown undividual sat directly in the center of the screen. William Ryder slowly raised his head from facing downward towards the black carpeted that covered the entire locker room area. The number one contender sat on the edge of a black painted steel chair while the top of his impressive masculine shirtless body from the waist up was enough to show the entire world he was indeed in the best shape of his life right now.
William Ryder
"It's no secret that tonight I have been granted an opportunity of a lifetime. I know there's going to be a lot of curious eyes programmed towards my main event championship match tonight. Throughout the years of being a pro wrestler I have made a few friends but without a doubt I have made twice as many enemies. I know most of colleagues from Bad Blood Wrestling will be watching this match with curiousity and with the small hope of seeing one of their own walking away with the 1WM World Heavyweight Championship after all these years. People like Silver Kazama, Rose, Eric Smith, Brandon Bash, and even the man I owe everything to for giving me an opportunity back in 2005 when nobody else would, Nicholas. But most people know him for his in ring name Oliver Black."
He leaned back on the chair to the point he could feel the wall behind him catching him. He couldn't help but smirk while thinking back on all the memories he had with those few individuals he decided to name a moment ago. Part of him still couldn't believe it had been nearly twenty years since he first walked through the front doors of Bad Blood Wrestling.
William Ryder
"And of course you have those who would love nothing more but to see me come up short tonight and fail once that bell rings. People like Joshua Samson, Astrid Samson, and even individuals who have nothing no association with 1WM like Michael Rissi will be watching tonight with the hope of watching me fail. The hatred and animosity these people hold towards me is what keeps me going day after day to the goal of one day being able to look every single one of them in the face while being crowd the next 1WM World Champion. Pieces of shit like Joshua Samson continue to talk shit on my career and pretend I have nothing left in the tank to walk in here tonight and make a mockery of his little puppet paper champion, Q. Throughout my career I have won numerous championships but none will be more rewarding and satisfying than being able to walk out of Legendary 38 as the new 1WM World Heavyweight Champion on April 30th."
He slowly turned his head to the side while he allowed a parade of thoughts to crowd his mind. He nodded slowly to himself before turning his focus and attention back towards the live camera.
William Ryder
"I know who I am and the things I'm capable of doing inside that ring once the bell rings. But do you "Ya Girl" Q? Have you ever been pushed to your absolute limit since you signed that contract and walked through that door? Have you ever lost so much blood during a match that you ended up passing out in the middle of a match and woke up hours later in a hospital bed with no idea who you were or how you got there? I'm going to bring something much different than what you've been handed since you became 1WM World Champion. You will succumb under the pressure of standing across the ring from someone who has been doing this for nearly as long as you been alive. I wake up every morning thinking and obsessing over the thought of taking that championship from you to the point I need it, like an addict needs to inject the drug of their choice into their veins in order to feel alive again. The clock is ticking down from the moment that championship will be leaving the Samson Family and for the first time in a very long time it will be coming home with me."
The camera slowly fades to black.

Justice Cross © vs. Nina Stokes ©
Torres: The following isa CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS match between the Glory Champion and the Pride of 1WM Champion scheduled for ONE FALL with a THIRTY MINUTE time limit!
As the lights go out in the ring area, the entrance of the ramp is lit up by spotlights and the videotron of Justice Cross begins playing along with the spoken words “After all that you put me through, you’d think that I’d despise you, but in the end I wann thank you, cause you made me that much stronger.” Walking out onto that stage smirking then, Justice would go to the right side of the stage running her mouth to the fans and then to the left side doing the same. After doing this she would go to the middle of the stage where it stopped and met the top of the ramp taking her arms putting them through her belt and held it up in the air. She then undid the buckle and placed it over her shoulder as she walked down to the ring. Once she made it down there she would go up to one of the fans at the bottom who she could hear talking to her and the two began to have a back and forth exchange of words. Looking to the fan she asked if they were done yet then held that title of hers up in the air in front of them. Smirking she turned around and went up the steps to the apron where she would step between the ropes. The ref would go up to her and take the title from her and she began to wait for her opponent.
Torres: Introducing first….hailing from St. Louis, Missouri….weighing in at one hundred and twenty-six pounds….standing at a height of five feet three inches…she is a former 1WM Tag Team Champion…she is the current and reigning Glory Champion…JUSTICCCCEEEEEE CROSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Taj: These two are capable of putting on a classic!
America: Justice is HIGHLY annoying but people overlook the fact that she can indeed wrestle!
The two champions stand in the ring and stare each other down as the referee calls for the bell, making the match officially underway.
DING DING DING!!!
Justice wastes little time in getting things started---running across the ring and immediately hitting Nina in the face with a hard right hand! She follows it up with a second and then a third. The referee shouts out a warning about closed fists, but this only prompts Justice to begin hitting Nina with a series of vicious chops.
Crowd: WOOO! WOOO! WOOO! WOOO!
Blow after blow connects with Nina as she stumbles back to the ropes. Nina grabs hold of them before Justice shoots her across the ring. She waits for Nina to return on the rebound before leaping into the air and hitting her with a leg lariat! Nina crashes to the mat. Justice immediately runs and tries to deliver a shining wizard---only to have Nina moves out of the way at the last possible second!
Taj: I’m not sure what you’re supposed to do when Justice decides she’s going to be THAT aggressive to start a match!
America: Honestly...there isn’t much that you CAN do! You just need to hope you survive the onslaught and get back on track!
Justice turns around and dares Nina to get on the attack. Nina responds without hesitation. She runs forward and hits Justice with a forearm smash, followed by a second, and then a third. The impact of the blows sends Justice staggering. Nina runs forward and drives her knee hard into Justice’s ribs. Justice doubles over in pain and Nina lifts her into the air, slamming Justice into her knee with a gutbuster! Justice stumbles back up to her feet. Nina runs and delivers a knee trembler! The impact straightens Justice up, who groggily tries to regain a sense of where she’s at. Sensing an opening, Nina charges forward and delivers a leaping neckbreaker! She hooks the leg and goes for the cover.
One…
Two…
TH…KICK OUT!!
Justice tries to pick herself back up to her feet. Nina lines herself up with the talk show host and tries to hit with a running enziguri! Justice ducks underneath the kick. Nina hits the mat. Justice stands her up and hits her with a slap to the face that echoes throughout the arena!
Justice: LET ME SHOW YOU HOW IT’S DONE!
Justice then bounces off of the ropes and hits Nina with a running enziguri! Nina collapses to the mat. Justice hooks the leg and covers.
One…
Two…
THRE…Nina gets a foot on the ropes!
Taj: Oh wow!
America: Well, Justice sure showed Nina with that kick!
Taj: But Nina was able to keep herself alive!
Justice grabs hold of Nina and lifts her back up to her feet. She ties Nina’s arms up in the ropes and begins to hit her with a series of hard slaps to the face---each one louder than the last. Justice then drags Nina out of the ropes. She lifts her onto her shoulders and tries to snap off a Samoan drop---only to have Nina free herself. The Pride Champ waits for Justice to turn around to face her before leaping into the air, hitting her with a dropkick! Justice tries to create space, only to have Nina land on her with a running shooting star press! Nina hooks the leg and goes for the cover.
One…
Two…Justice kicks out!
Nina grabs Justice by the head and pulls her back up to her feet. She hits Justice with a series of chops before lifting her into the air for a vertical suplex! Justice blocks the attempt with a knee strike. Nina places her down on the mat. Justice leaps into the air and hits Nina in the mouth with a double knee strike! Nina loses her footing and Justice rolls her up.

Both champions pull themselves back up to their feet. Justice runs at Nina and tries to deliver a crossbody block! Nina catches her and slams Justice to the mat! Justice slowly pulls herself back up to her feet and charges at Nina---who snaps off a perfectly timed flatliner instead! Justice’s face bounces off of the mat before she stumbles back up to her feet. Nina lines herself up with Justice and tries to plant her on the mat with a DDT! Justice shoves Nina away. Nina grabs hold of the ropes to steady herself.
Taj: This is some exciting, back and forth action!
America: Would you expect anything less from a Contest of Champions?!
Justice charges at Nina and tries to send her out to the floor! Nina gets a foot in the air and kicks Justice in the mouth! Justice stumbles back. Nina rolls out to the apron. She steadies herself and springboards into the ring, hitting Justice in the mouth with a flying elbow! Justice gets back to her feet but is sent back down to the mat when Nina connects with Amidst the Shadow of Sorrows III (Boma Ye Knee Strike) Nina then hooks the leg and goes for the cover. The referee drops down and counts.
One…
Two…
THREEEEE!!!
Torres: The winner of this Contest of Champions...the Pride of 1WM Champion…Nina Stokes!!!
Taj: These two went back and forth, and it was exciting, but in the end Nina pulls out the victory!
America: So this can put an end to any conversation on who is the better champion.
At the immediate conclusion of the match a figure in a black hood sprints down and slides into the ring. The figure pauses before immediately hitting both Justice Cross and Nina Stokes with simultaneous knee strikes to the back of their heads!
America: WHO IN THE HELL IS THIS?!
Taj: Whoever it is, he or she has taken out both Glory and Pride of 1WM Champions!
The hood comes off the figure’s head revealing the attacker to be Silas Jessup! He immediately hits Justice Cross with a bunch of elbows and forearms before he chucks her violently out of the ring! Silas then once again turns his attention to Nina Strokes, who he throws into the ropes. When she bounces off, his knee hits her in the face, directly into a Death Valley driver!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
A sick and twisted smile comes across Silas Jessup's face. After finishing his attack, he then slides out of the ring and starts walking up the ramp as he lifts his arms high in the air to the boos of the crowd.
Taj: What in the world was that about, America? Is Silas reigniting his feud with Justice over the Glory championship or is trying to start one with Nine for the Pride of 1WM Championship?
America: Whichever it is, Silas will now have two pissed off Champions looking for revenge.
Backstage, Joshua Samson approaches his client, Ya Girl Q, her eyes locked onto the 1WM World Heavyweight Championship belt. He clears his throat, trying to get Ya Girl Q's attention.
Joshua: So….I saw Aleki Kekoa circling around earlier tonight. What did he say to you? He was trying to propose a deal, was he not?
Ya Girl Q looks up from her championship belt, her eyes narrowing as she regards her agent. She dismisses him with a flick of her wrist, as if the conversation wasn't worth her time.
Ya Girl Q: Pshh, Aleki Kekoa? Please. That guy's a nobody. I don't have time for his nonsense.
Samson looks taken aback, but Ya Girl Q brushes him off and turns back to getting prepared for tonight’s title bout.
Ya Girl Q: You need not worry about some second-rate wrestler trying to get in my head. I've got a title to defend tonight, and that's all I'm focused on.
Samson nods, knowing better than to push the matter any further. He backs away slowly, still wondering what the two discussed earlier in the evening.

1WM World Heavyweight Championship Match
William Ryder vs. “Ya Girl” Q ©
Torres: The following is the LEGENDARY THIRTY-EIGHT MAIN EVENT match scheduled for ONE FALL and it is for the 1WM WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
However long that it takes
I'll go to whatever lengths
It's gonna make me a monster though
I am phenomenal
I'll go to whatever lengths
It's gonna make me a monster though
I am phenomenal
The crowd showed a mixed reaction towards the opening chords to Eminem's "Phenomenal" began to consume the attention of the audience. A hungry and extremely motivated William Cordova made his presence known the moment he emerged from behind the eerie black colored curtain.
However long that it takes
I'll go to whatever lengths
It's gonna make me a monster though
I am phenomenal
I'll go to whatever lengths
It's gonna make me a monster though
I am phenomenal
The entire crowd would begin to gravitate their focus towards a man who no desire to cater to their futile opinions about him. The former inaugural EHWF Anarchy World Champion stood at the top of the entrance ramp supporting a black zip-up hoodie that supported a golden crown symbol on the front left chest, the words "Natural Born Nightmare" written across the back also in gold print. He supported a pair of long black tights with a golden skull wearing a crown with the words "Nightmare King" written above and below it. Two black knee pads with the right knee displaying the same skull wearing a crown logo in the center. Beneath the black hoodie he kept un-zipped in order to show off his incredible physique and perhaps the most impressive six pack in pro wrestling, he also wore a plain black elbow pad over his left elbow for both support and comfort. The rest of his attire consisted of matching black and gold kick-padded boots and a pair of black blackhawk full length tactical gloves over his hands.
With every ounce of my blood
With every breath in my lungs
I am phenomenal
With every breath in my lungs
I am phenomenal
He slowly began a slow walk towards the ring for the sole purpose of making his opponent sit and wait on him knowing damn well it got underneath their skin. He slowly began to circle the outside of the ring like a great white shark circling it's wounded prey a moment before it strikes, never once shying his eyesight away from his opponent. He casually slid into the ring beneath the bottom rope before lifting himself up onto one knee directly in front of the turnbuckle. He smirked, making sure never to break eye contact with the person standing across the squared circle from him. He once again continued to take his time removing the hoodie from his ripped body before tossing it over the top rope and onto the outside floor.
However long that it takes
I'll go to whatever lengths
It's gonna make me a monster though
I am phenomenal
I'll go to whatever lengths
It's gonna make me a monster though
I am phenomenal
He impatiently waited for the bell to ring to make a move on his next opponent. William continued to lock eyes with the individual standing across the ring from him. His piercing ice cold blue eyes were compared to that of a man staring into the pitch black abyss. He waited for the bell to ring to quickly make his way across the ring in order to try to gain the upper-hand and strike first.
:
Torres: Introducing first…he is the challenger...from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania...weighing in at one hundred and ninety-nine pounds...he is WILLIAAAAMMMMMM RYDEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!
Taj: This man is coming off a great tag team match with Ricky Stanton.
America: Get lucky with one opportunity and somehow get an even bigger one! It doesn’t make sense!
“Believer” by Imagine Dragons blares over the arena as “Ya Girl” Q, World Heavyweight Championship belt around her waist, makes her way down to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd.
Taj: And coming to the ring next… residing in Chicago, Illinois...weighing in at one hundred and twenty-eight pounds….standing at a height of five feet two inches…representing The Samson Family….she is the current reigning and defending 1WM World Heavyweight Champion...she is"Ya Girl"......QQQQQQQQQ!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taj: This woman is standing at the pinnacle in this business and now…
America: She gets to defend the title against plucky William Ryder!
The fans are on their feet, eagerly anticipating the beginning of the match. They show their support for both women as the referee calls for the bell, making the match officially underway.
DING DING DING!!!
Ryder and Q both approach one another near the center of the ring. They circle around each other and wait for an opening to appear. When it doesn’t happen, the two grapple up in the center of the ring and begin to struggle for the advantage. "Ya Girl" Q is able to take control, shoving Ryder back against the ropes. She hits him in the chest with a hard chop, and then a second, before shooting Ryder across the ring. When Ryder returns on the rebound, Q lifts him into the air and slams him to the mat with an armdrag! Before Ryder can make it back up to his feet, Q almost immediately tries to lock him into a sleeperhold! Ryder’s eyes go wide as he desperately looks around the ring before realizing he’s in position to grab the ropes.
Taj: It’s not often that Q goes for that as early as she did!
America: It was actually a smart, veteran move...see if you can get in the William’s head and throw him off his game! I like it!
Q smirks ever so slightly as she pulls herself back up to her feet. Ryder does the same. The two begin to circle around the ring and wait for an opening to appear once again. This time, however, Ryder is much more aggressive when it comes to making his own opening. He steps forward and catches Q in the mouth with a forearm smash, and then a second, and then a third. Q stumbles back from the impact. Ryder quickly steps forward and tries to hit "Ya Girl" Q with an enziguri, but Q ducks underneath the attempt. Ryder creates space between the two of them as Q steps to close the gap---only to have Ryder leap into the air and hit her with a dropkick! Ryder smiles as Q pulls herself back up to her feet. Ryder immediately closes the gap once again, hitting Q with a European uppercut! He then slams her down to the mat with a Russian leg sweep and hooks the leg.
One…
Two…Q kicks out!
Taj: If William can keep this up…
America: We might actually be looking at a new champion?! Don’t get carried away, Taj!
The fans show their support for both wrestlers in the ring. "Ya Girl" Q again tries to drag herself back up to her feet. Ryder grabs hold of Q and locks her into a side headlock to try and wear her down. Q fights her way out of Ryder’s grasp with a few elbow shots. She shoves Ryder away. Ryder staggers as Q charges from behind and lifts him into the air. She tries to slam him to the mat with a belly to back suplex! Ryder flips out of Q’s grasp and lands on his feet behind her. He smirks and steps forward---kicking Q in the face with his RYDEOFYOURLIFE (superkick)! Ryder drops down and hooks the leg.
One…
Two…
THRE…KICK OUT!
Taj: I thought that was it! I thought William was the new World Heavyweight Champion!
America: Holy shit!
Q starts to drag herself back up to her feet. Ryder runs at her and hits Q with a knee trembler! Before Q can regain her balance, Ryder grabs her and goes for a backslide.
One…
Two…
THR…KICK OUT!!
Taj: Oh wow!
America: Would you believe that Q is apparently struggling right now? Because I wouldn’t if I wasn’t watching it!
Taj: This is one of the better main event performances we’ve seen in quite some time!
Q steps back to the ropes and uses them to bring herself back up to her feet. Ryder refuses to give Q so much as an inch to work with---running forward and trying to keep the momentum alive. Unfortunately for him, Q gets a foot in the air and kicks Ryder in the jaw! Ryder staggers back a few steps but recovers and charges at Q once again. This time, Q is ready for him---lifting Ryder into the air and slamming him down to the mat with a ring rocking powerslam! The fans cheer for Q as she hooks the leg.
One…
Two…
TH…THREE!!
Ryder tries to bring himself back up to his feet, but can’t before "Ya Girl" Q bounces off of the ropes and lands on Ryder with a running leg drop! She bounces off of the ropes again and hits Ryder with a second for good measure, hooking the leg and picking up the cover.
One…
Two…
THRE…KICK OUT!!
Taj: Watching these two wrestle is so much fun!
America: I’m interested to see if Ryder can get back into this match.
"Ya Girl" Q shakes her head as she reaches down and grabs hold of Ryder. She tries to hoist Ryder into the air so that she can slam him down to the mat with a brainbuster. Ryder blocks the attempt by hitting Q with a knee strike! He quickly delivers a series of chops to Q to create space between the two of them.
Crowd: WOOO! WOOO! WOOOO!
Q fights through the pain of the strikes and grabs hold of Ryder, shooting him across the ring. The Champ steps toward the middle of the ring to meet Ryder on the rebound, only to have Ryder catch her by surprise with a handspring enziguri! The fans show their appreciation for the show of athleticism as Ryder hooks the leg.
One…
Two…
THRE….KICK OUT!!
Taj: The fact that William is showing that he belongs on a stage this big is huge for him!
Ryder briefly enjoys the response that he’s receiving from the fans. He waits for "Ya Girl" Q to start dragging herself back up to her feet before running at the ropes. He springboards off of them and hits "Ya Girl" Q with a crossbody block! He hooks the leg and goes for the cover.
One…
Two…Q kicks out!
Smirking, Ryder grabs hold of Q and tries to drag her back up to her feet. He bounces off of the ropes and tries to line Q up for a slingblade---only to have Q cut off his attempts with clothesline! The fans are on their feet going wild as Q grabs hold of Ryder and drags him up to his feet. Seconds later, she plants him on the mat with a devastating Q’s Lament (deadlift German suplex)! She hooks the leg and goes for the cover.
One…
Two…
THREEE!!!
Torres: The winner of this match...and STILL the 1WM World Heavyweight Champion..."Ya Girl" Q!!!

Taj: What a great night of 1WM wrestling we’ve had here tonight! Thank you all for joining us and we’ll see you in May for Legendary Thirty-Nine!
