Mighty Frank vs. Victoria Travis
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following match is set for ONE FALL!
The flute introduces "Remember To Breathe" by Sturgill Simpson plays through-out the arena while the lights dim real low. Mighty Frank appears inside the light of a single spotlight, carrying his trusty golden hammer, an unlit cigar poking out from between his teeth. He is wearing a black t-shirt that reads, KEEP HAMMERIN'. He stops on the rampway as the drums kick in. Frank kneels and sets his hammer down on the rampway.
He lifts his arms over his head and suddenly a single streamer blast appears on the left side of the rampway. Frank looks at the pyro for a seconds before he steps closer and leans in, lighting the cigar between his teeth off of the pyrotechnics. After the first chorus, lightning flashes on the tron behind Mighty Frank. The lightning looks to strike the hammer and then the hammer glows. Frank takes a puff from his cigar, picking up his glowing hammer before heading to the ring. On his way to the ring, he puts out his cigar when he hands the officials his hammer.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, from Valhalla, he is… MIGHTY FRANK!!!
The arena lights go out.
I see your red door and I want it painted black
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
"Paint it Black [Epic Trailer Version]" by Hidden Citizens plays over the arena. Victoria Travis stands at the top of the ramp in the spotlight, wearing a hooded, sleeveless robe like cloak with her arms crossed over her chest and head down. With a fluid motion, she uncrosses her arms and removes her hood, spreading her arms wide and spraying poison mist. She laughs manically and walks to the ring.
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
Victory Travis climbs the stairs and steps into the ring. She pulls off her robe, spinning it and tossing outside the ring.
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
She lowers her arms and starts stalking back and forth like a predator, her eyes on her opponent.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his opponent, from Calgery, Alberta, Canada, she is… VICTORIA TRAVIS!!!
Bolt Thomas:
The fans are excited to see Mighty Frank again!
Aaron Gurst:
Maybe so, but not everyone is happy. Look at Victoria!
Victoria stares Frank down as she slowly begins to circle. The referee rings the bell and Victoria Travis rushes at Frank. She throws a right hand, which Frank blocks and returns with a jab. Victoria stumbles and steps to the side. Frank tracks her and hits her with another jab before he grabs her by the back of the head and slams her face first into the padded turnbuckle. She bounces off the turnbuckle and Franks grabs her by the back of the head and tosses her into the adjacent corner. Frank runs in for a splash, Victoria steps out of the way and Frank collides with the turnbuckle. He bounces off and Victoria takes him down with a sitting jawbreaker.
Frank bounces up to his feet and Victoria charges him, Frank back body drops Victoria over the top rope and she spills out onto the floor.
Frank climbs through the ropes and leaps off the apron and hits Victoria with a flying double axe handle smash.
Victoria crumples to the floor.
Bolt Thomas:
Mighty Frank is looking like he hasn’t lost a step here.
Aaron Gurst:
We should call him the Bosstones, because he is looking mighty mighty!
Frank grabs Victoria by the hair as she tries to climb to her feet.
He whips her toward the ring apron. He hits and Frank comes running in. He attempts a lariat, but Victoria dodges and Frank slams into the side of the ring and it knocks the wind out of him.
Bolt Thomas:
The Serial Killer has a few tricks left up her sleeve though.
Aaron Gurst:
Frank better be careful, otherwise he is going to end up on her kill list.
Victoria climbs up on the apron and then steps into the ring to keep the referee from initiating the count out before stepping back out onto the apron. She smirks and then drops down hitting Frank across the back of the neck with a leg drop. Frank tumbles out on to the floor and Victoria holds on to the ropes, bouncing up and over them into the ring.
The referee begins the count out as Victoria plays to the crowd.
ONE…
Frank writhes on the floor.
TWO…
Frank slowly begins to stir.
THREE…
Frank gets to his feet.
FOUR…
Victoria runs and bounces off the opposite ropes before she leaps over the top rope and hits Frank with a cross body block. Frank however, catches her mid-air and slams her onto the floor!
Bolt Thomas:
Mighty Frank demonstrating his impressive strength catching Victoria Travis in mid-air.
Aaron Gurst:
No one is doubting he is strong, but does he have the skills to actually beat Victoria Travis?
Frank pulls her back to her feet and tosses her back into the ring. He follows in after her. Victoria rolls to the center of the ring and Frank motions for the SENKO DOMINATION. He pumphandles her up and holds her up in the air turning around to demonstrate his strength again. He drives her down for a backbreaker to complete the SENKO DOMINATION but Victoria reverses at the last second and she hits him with the SWIFT END!
Victoria covers.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE-NO!!!
MIGHTY FRANK GETS A SHOULDER UP!
Bolt Thomas:
Victoria Travis can’t believe he just kicked out of that!
Aaron Gurst:
She’s pissed… you can tell she’s pissed, but then again, when is she not?
Victoria kips up and she waits for Frank to get to his feet, once he is up, she attempts a superkick but Frank ducks under it and hits her with a teardrop suplex. He covers.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Mighty Frank tried to put her out but Victoria Travis isn’t done yet!
Aaron Gurst:
Dang! I thought it was Miller time.
Both wrestlers are up, they trade blows back and forth before Victoria kicks Frank in the gut and drops him with a DDT. She covers.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!!!
Victoria is the first one up, she pulls Frank to his feet and hits him with a swinging neckbreaker before dropping an elbow across his heart. Frank holds his chest and kicks his feet trying to fight off the pain.
Aaron Gurst:
She’s going to give the old man a heart attack!
Victoria pulls Frank up, he pushes her back with one arm but she captures him with a Fujiwara arm bar.
Bolt Thomas:
Victoria Travis caught him off guard with that arm bar!
Aaron Gurst:
Now, she’s going to rip that arm off!
Frank tries to roll out of the arm bar, but Victoria locks it in harder. He cries out in pain as he desperately reaches for the ropes. Victoria however, pulls him away from the ropes. Frank cries out again, and the referee checks on him, but he shakes his head, refusing to tap. He claws at the mat and eventually pulls himself closer to the ropes. Victoria sees this and tries to pull him away again, but Frank reaches out in desperation and grabs hold of the ropes. The crowd goes wild and the referee notices this, he orders Victoria to break the hold but she shakes her head no.
Bolt Thomas:
Victoria Travis is looking to do damage to that arm.
Aaron Gurst:
She better not get herself disqualifed!
The referee warns her again and begins to count to three.
ONE…
TWO…
TH-Victoria releases the hold.
She rolls over to the corner and pulls herself up. Victoria taunts the crowd again drawing in a mixed reaction. Frank slowly climbs to his feet, clutching his arm in pain, she runs at him and attempts a flying lariat but Frank drops down and hits her with HANGIN’ DRYWALL!
He covers.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Mighty Frank has pulled it off… He is back!
Aaron Gurst:
Easy now, Dolty. Don't blow an o-ring.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And the winner is… MIGHTY FRANK!!!
Victoria scowls and shakes her head as she exits the ring and walks to the back. Frank rolls out of the ring and grabs a microphone before he climbs back in.
A Challenge
Mighty Frank:
You know, Vicky. You said something that resonated with me… I won’t get a chance to wrap my damn hands around Mr. Natural or Mud Mouth’s neck. I waited too long and I will have to live with that regret the rest of days. But I figure why not go for the next best thing? Why not challenge the person that took Kendrick’s prized Elimination Championship from him and kept it from him despite all his efforts? That’s right… it’s time for Mighty Frank to get his mojo back. Denni Summers if your back there. I hereby challenge you to a match. Any place, any time. What do ya say?
The crowd murmurs in anticipation, before "Open Your Eyes" begins to play, and Denni Summers steps out into the entryway with a microphone in hand. She surveys the crowd for a few moments before focusing her attention on Frank and raising the microphone to speak.
Denni Summers:
You know what, Frank? I get it. You want to regain your relevancy, and while you'd love to do it against your former boss... Well, I made it so that's not exactly possible. Hell, like you said, not only did I take his prized possession from him, but, well... Frankly, I didn't exactly show it the respect it probably deserved, now did I? Some might say I underestimated Daisy Jones, and maybe I did... But I'd be lying if I said I was all that motivated to do the Elimination Championship justice in the first place. I've said before that I'm not exactly in this for the achievements anymore, and so I admit I took the thing for granted a bit. In the end, though, if you ask me, well... All I did was remove a burden.
She shrugs her shoulders, moving her arms in circles a bit as if relieved of a heavy weight, then continues speaking.
Denni Summers:
All that is to say that I get where you're coming from. You figure if you can't get your hands on Mr. Natural, well... You might as well take me down, seeing as I'm the one that took him out in the first place. And, hey, that's fine. I respect it, even. That said, I'd argue I'm in the best shape of my life, so if you think it's going to be easy, you're sorely mistaken. As it is, I promised all of these Sweet Teeth out here that they'd see a new Denni Summers in 2024, and while I haven't exactly shown much of that, yet, I'm thinking you just might get to be the first to really meet her. As for the time and the place? We can figure those little details out soon enough... But I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of each other real soon.
She winks as she lowers the mic, the crowd cheering at the prospect of the two squaring off.
Matt “Redline” Stevens vs. Avery Wright
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!
"Come With Me" by P. Diddy ft. Jimmy Page blasts out of the PA System and Matt "Redline" Stevens appears from behind the curtains to a mixed reception from the fans. He smirks and walks out onto the top of the ramp where he raises both his arms above his head and red and white pyro goes off around him. Redline then slowly makes his way down the ramp towards the ring and nods at a few of the fans at ringside as he passes them by. He slides into the ring under the bottom rope, climbs the nearest turnbuckle and looks out into the crowd with a grin on his face. Redline then drops back down from the turnbuckle.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, he is…MATT “REDLINE” STEVENS!!
Bolt Thomas:
He impressed in his return to CPW, and if his past successes are anything to go by…
Aaron Gurst:
He’s just getting started!
The lights dim as "Firefly" by Breaking Benjamin begins to play. After several seconds, a pattern of star-shaped lights illuminate the arena, as "The Starlight Slugger" Avery Wright stands atop the entryway with a baseball cap pulled low over her eyes and a metal baseball bat resting on her shoulder. She lifts the cap slightly as she looks over the crowd, before beginning to head down the ramp, looking straight ahead and focused on the ring. Once reaching it, she climbs up the steps, then stops to look out at the crowd once again. Tossing the cap aside, she hops up onto the second rope near the corner, spreading her arms wide and encouraging the crowd to get louder. Springing up over the ropes and landing in the ring, she heads to the center, pointing the bat out at the crowd, then walks around the ring, pointing it out at all sides as she heads to her corner, where she finally drops the bat to the outside and leans back in the corner to await the start of the match.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his opponent, she is…AVERY WRIGHT!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Now, we all know that Angel Slade can be good, but let’s be honest…this is different.
Aaron Gurst:
Avery is definitely better than Angel on average, but Redline is pretty damn good, too!
The referee looks at both wrestlers to make sure they’re ready for the upcoming match. Redline shakes his head - almost annoyed that he needs to waste his time on an opponent like Avery. The referee then calls for the bell and the match is officially underway! Almost immediately, Avery charges across the ring and blasts Redline in the mouth with a forearm shot! She follows it up with a second and then a third. Redline stumbles back from the impact as Avery grabs hold of him and tries to shoot Redline across the ring. He reverses the attempt and instead lifts Avery into the air on the rebound, slamming her down to the mat with a belly to belly suplex! Avery stumbles back up to her feet as Redline charges at her and sends her crashing to the mat with a clothesline!
Bolt Thomas:
Quick start to this one by Redline, and he’s continuing to show that he’s as good as he’s ever been!
Aaron Gurst:
He knew how Avery was going to react, and responded accordingly! You gotta love that about him!
Avery Wright tries to stumble back up to her feet. Unfortunately for her, before she’s able to do so, Redline grabs hold of her. He throws her back against the nearest turnbuckle and holds her there for a moment before delivering a massive chop to the chest! He follows it up with a second, and then a third. Redline then shoots Avery across the ring with a great deal of force - Avery’s collision with the opposite turnbuckle causing her to fall to the mat! She tries to stumble back up to her feet, but Redline hoists her into the air and drops her onto his knee for a backbreaker! He then hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
Avery kicks out!
Avery stumbles back up to her feet slowly. Redline grabs hold of her and shoots Avery across the ring. When she comes back on the rebound, he lifts her into the air and tries to get her into position for The Stevens Effect! She almost immediately frees herself from his grasp and lands on the mat behind him. Redline turns around as Avery leaps into the air and hits with an enziguiri! Redline drops to a knee as Avery bounces off of the ropes and plants him on the mat with a spike hurricanrana! The fans cheer as Avery hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
THR—NO!
Redline groggily tries to bring himself back up to his feet. Before he can do so, Avery bounces off of the ropes and catches him by surprise with a shining wizard! She hooks the leg once again and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
TH—NO!
Bolt Thomas:
There are only so many times you can get hit in the head like that!
The fans continue to cheer Avery on. She nods her head and grabs hold of Redline. She tries to set him up for a DDT, but just before she can plant him on the mat, Redline shoves her away. Avery stumbles a few steps as Redline charges at her and delivers a discus clothesline! The fans start to boo as Redline waves them off dismissively. They continue to boo as Redline grabs hold of Avery. He pulls her back up to her feet and wrestles her into position for a Full Throttle! Just before he can send Avery to the mat, she spins out of his grasp! Avery leaps into the air and catches Redline on the jaw with a knee strike! He drops down to his knee and tries to pull himself back up to his feet, only to get caught by surprise with a Starstruck! The fans cheer as Avery rolls Redline over and covers for the…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The winner of this match…AVERY WRIGHT!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Talk about an impressive victory!
Aaron Gurst:

Archangel Michael vs. Stephen Ashworth
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!
"Punishment" by Biohazard begins to play, Golden light fills the arena as a white strobe alternates in time with the music. Suddenly, Archangel Michael appears. He stands in all of his glory and surveys his dominion for evil to vanquish before heading down to the right.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, he is...ARCHANGEL MICHAEL!!!
Bolt Thomas:
I'm telling you, Aaron...I wouldn't want to be in the ring with him!
Aaron Gurst:
At least he's less obnoxious than his opponent! He's got that going for him!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his opponent...
Light Em Up/Radioactive mashup begins to to play. Stephen and Ryan Ashworth come jogging out of the entrance way. Stephen throws his arms out, waving to the crowd to make some noise and trying ot get the crowd behind them while Ryan raises his arms. They go to the center of the ramp, holding up three fingers and begin counting down “Three...Two...One! Lay-on!” while throwing the arm out and lifting a finger for the countdown.
The two walk down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans and then climb the stairs at ringside and head into the ring. They each take a turnbuckle, Ryan looking over the crowd and throwing his arms out, while Stephen again, tries to rally the crowd behind them, yelling out "It's party time!" to the cheering crowd. The two men climb down and exit the ring. Stephen takes off his headband, giving it to a fan at ringside and then removes his jacket, handing it to Ryan before sliding back into the ring.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
...he is, STEPHEN ASHWORTH!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Stephen is more of a tag-team wrestler, but he's still got one hell of an opportunity here tonight!
Aaron Gurst:
Yeah, yeah...I guess that's one way to put it! Let's see what he's got!
The referee looks at both men before calling for the bell, the match officially underway. Almost immediately, Archangel Michael runs across the ring and catches Stephen with a forearm smash! He follows it up with a second then a third. Stephen is barely able to keep his balance as Michael grabs hold of him and shoots him across the ring. When Stephen comes back on the rebound, Michael ducks down and launches Stephen high into the air - slamming him to the mat with a back body drop! Stephen tries to drag himself back up to his feet quickly - only to have Michael dive at him with a clothesline that sends him right back to the mat!
Bolt Thomas:
An aggressive start to this one by Archangel Michael!
Aaron Gurst:
When you're in the ring on a mission from the Lord himself, you can't afford to dilly-dally in there!
Michael grabs hold of Stephen and shakes his head. He grabs hold of him and tries to shoot him across the ring toward the nearest turnbuckle. Stephen is able to reverse the attempt as he instead sends Michael crashing into the turnbuckle! Michael stumbles out of the corner and tries to regain his footing. Before he's able to do so, Stephen smirks and steps toward him - hitting Michael with a perfectly timed superkick! Michael crashes back into the turnbuckle as Stephen quickly hurries to the center of the ring. He pauses for a moment before charging forward and hitting Michael with a running clothesline! He then follows it up almost immediately with a running bulldog!
Bolt Thomas:
And now Stephen Ashworth is showing off his athleticism!
Aaron Gurst:
Just because he's more known for being a tag-team wrestler doesn't mean that Stephen can't hang on his own!
Michael slowly stumbles back up to his feet. Stephen bounces off of the ropes and tries to pick up speed to keep his momentum going - only to have Michael cut him off by lifting Stephen into the air for a huge tilt-a-whirl slam! Michael glares down at Stephen for a moment before shaking his head. He drags him up and pounds away on Stephen with a series of hard forearm shots. Stephen tries to defend himself but he's unable to do so before Michael powers him into the air for a huge vertical suplex! Michael glares down at Stephen for a moment before hooking the leg and picking up the...

ONE!
TWO!
TH---NO!
Bolt Thomas:
Back to back nearfalls!
Both wrestlers pull themselves back up to their feet. Stephen tries to pick up speed by bouncing off of the ropes as fast as he can - though Michael cuts him off by hitting Stephen with a big boot!

Michael drops down to a knee and tries to recover. Stephen rushes at him and delivers a jawbreaker!

The winner of this match...STEPHEN ASHWORTH!!!

Mighty Frank:
I would've done the same.
Ava Jupiter:
We good?

This man never looks like he’s in a good mood.

He’s not.
Bolt Thomas:
And that usually means bad things for his opponents.
Aaron Gurst:
Yes… yes it does.
Blue lights strobe around the arena as the opening riffs of "Elevation" hit the arena sound system. The fans rise to their feet in anticipation.

Nightmare/Miss Daisy Jones vs. Francico Lopez/Kelly James
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following contest is a tag team match and it is set for one fall!
“Wayward One” starts playing as the lights turn Blue and Silver. 12 seconds into the song, Francisco Lopez appears on the stage, surrounded by smoke. He slowly makes his way to the ring, staring at his battleground as he walks around the ring. He slides into the ring, and stands in the center of the ring for a few moments, staring into the distance. He walks toward a nearby corner and stands, waiting for the match to start.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, from team number one… Francisco Lopez!
Bolt Thomas:
And here we go!
Aaron Gurst:
Two people who were champions vs two who are!
Bolt Thomas:
And the two who were are constant threats to become champions again.
Aaron Gurst:
Nightmare and Miss Daisy might have something to say about that.
The sound of an engine starting can be heard as "Saturday Night" by the Kaiser Chiefs hits the sound system. "The Apex" Kelly James appears at the top of the ramp, waving a checkered flag as she stands and smiles at the crowd. She makes her way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans as she passes, then climbs into the ring and up into the corner, waving the flag high above her head and waving to the crowd. She then hops down, setting the flag down in the corner and beginning to stretch as she awaits the start of the match.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his tag team partner, “The Apex” Kelly James!
Bolt Thomas:
And here she comes!
Aaron Gurst:
Now she can put up or shut up!
Bolt Thomas:
She already put up!
Aaron Gurst:
Well now she’s got to prove she can do it again!
Miss Daisy Jones walks to the ring, looking down on everyone as she enters.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their opponents, first the CPW Elimination Champion, Miss Daisy Jones!
Bolt Thomas:
And here’s…
Aaron Gurst:
Class is in session, Dolty!
Bolt Thomas:
I’m not sure anyone wanted this class.
Aaron Gurst:
So you didn’t do your homework then?
The house lights cut out as the opening of “Press F” by Attack Attack! begins to play around the arena as the strobes begin to flash in hues of purple to the beat of the bass and drums. At the 18second mark of the song as the lyrics kick in we watch as Nightmare make his way onto the stage. His head cloaked by the zipped black hoodie he wears; we watch as he takes a few steps forward before looking out at the crowd. Turning his back he pauses for a moment before beginning to walk backwards towards the ring while looking up at the arena tron. After a few steps he turns around and sprints the rest of the way to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. Once inside the ring, we watch as Nightmare goes to the far right turnbuckle and stands atop the 2nd rope and unzips his hoodie to display his title before unbuckling it and letting it fall to the ground. As he looks out at the crowd Nightmare throws his arms up in an X under his chin before extending his arms out to flip off the crowd before looking down at the belt before sitting cross-legged in the corner, awaiting for the match to begin.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And her partner, the CPW Xtreme Chaos AND CPW Devastation Champion, Nightmare!
Bolt Thomas:
And the double champion is here!
Aaron Gurst:
Talk about doing your homework!
Bolt Thomas:
The dog ate mine.
Aaron Gurst:
A likely excuse, Mister Thomas…
As the bell sounds, Miss Daisy turns to face Lopez and Kelly. Lopez and Kelly nod to each other as they decide who will start the match with the respective champion. Before any decision can be made, Nightmare runs up and hits the Driver’s Side Impact on Miss Daisy. He stands back up, shakes his head in disgust and leaves her lying there as he walks to the backstage area.
Bolt Thomas:
What has he just done?!!?
Aaron Gurst:
I think he just made sure to piss on detention!
Bolt Thomas:
Kelly and Lopez look shocked.
Aaron Gurst:
I think we all are!
Lopez and Kelly stare at the fallen Miss Daisy and watch Nightmare leave. Kelly walks over and checks on Miss Daisy, almost inadvertently covering her in the process.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Bolt Thomas:
So… I guess we’re done here?
Aaron Gurst:
Nightmare made sure we were done almost as soon as the bell rang!
Bolt Thomas:
So now what happens?
Aaron Gurst:
I have no idea.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Here are your winners, the team of Francico Lopez and Kelly James!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following match is set for ONE FALL!
The flute introduces "Remember To Breathe" by Sturgill Simpson plays through-out the arena while the lights dim real low. Mighty Frank appears inside the light of a single spotlight, carrying his trusty golden hammer, an unlit cigar poking out from between his teeth. He is wearing a black t-shirt that reads, KEEP HAMMERIN'. He stops on the rampway as the drums kick in. Frank kneels and sets his hammer down on the rampway.
He lifts his arms over his head and suddenly a single streamer blast appears on the left side of the rampway. Frank looks at the pyro for a seconds before he steps closer and leans in, lighting the cigar between his teeth off of the pyrotechnics. After the first chorus, lightning flashes on the tron behind Mighty Frank. The lightning looks to strike the hammer and then the hammer glows. Frank takes a puff from his cigar, picking up his glowing hammer before heading to the ring. On his way to the ring, he puts out his cigar when he hands the officials his hammer.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, from Valhalla, he is… MIGHTY FRANK!!!
The arena lights go out.
I see your red door and I want it painted black
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
"Paint it Black [Epic Trailer Version]" by Hidden Citizens plays over the arena. Victoria Travis stands at the top of the ramp in the spotlight, wearing a hooded, sleeveless robe like cloak with her arms crossed over her chest and head down. With a fluid motion, she uncrosses her arms and removes her hood, spreading her arms wide and spraying poison mist. She laughs manically and walks to the ring.
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
Victory Travis climbs the stairs and steps into the ring. She pulls off her robe, spinning it and tossing outside the ring.
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
She lowers her arms and starts stalking back and forth like a predator, her eyes on her opponent.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his opponent, from Calgery, Alberta, Canada, she is… VICTORIA TRAVIS!!!
Bolt Thomas:
The fans are excited to see Mighty Frank again!
Aaron Gurst:
Maybe so, but not everyone is happy. Look at Victoria!
Victoria stares Frank down as she slowly begins to circle. The referee rings the bell and Victoria Travis rushes at Frank. She throws a right hand, which Frank blocks and returns with a jab. Victoria stumbles and steps to the side. Frank tracks her and hits her with another jab before he grabs her by the back of the head and slams her face first into the padded turnbuckle. She bounces off the turnbuckle and Franks grabs her by the back of the head and tosses her into the adjacent corner. Frank runs in for a splash, Victoria steps out of the way and Frank collides with the turnbuckle. He bounces off and Victoria takes him down with a sitting jawbreaker.
Frank bounces up to his feet and Victoria charges him, Frank back body drops Victoria over the top rope and she spills out onto the floor.
Frank climbs through the ropes and leaps off the apron and hits Victoria with a flying double axe handle smash.
Victoria crumples to the floor.
Bolt Thomas:
Mighty Frank is looking like he hasn’t lost a step here.
Aaron Gurst:
We should call him the Bosstones, because he is looking mighty mighty!
Frank grabs Victoria by the hair as she tries to climb to her feet.
He whips her toward the ring apron. He hits and Frank comes running in. He attempts a lariat, but Victoria dodges and Frank slams into the side of the ring and it knocks the wind out of him.
Bolt Thomas:
The Serial Killer has a few tricks left up her sleeve though.
Aaron Gurst:
Frank better be careful, otherwise he is going to end up on her kill list.
Victoria climbs up on the apron and then steps into the ring to keep the referee from initiating the count out before stepping back out onto the apron. She smirks and then drops down hitting Frank across the back of the neck with a leg drop. Frank tumbles out on to the floor and Victoria holds on to the ropes, bouncing up and over them into the ring.
The referee begins the count out as Victoria plays to the crowd.
ONE…
Frank writhes on the floor.
TWO…
Frank slowly begins to stir.
THREE…
Frank gets to his feet.
FOUR…
Victoria runs and bounces off the opposite ropes before she leaps over the top rope and hits Frank with a cross body block. Frank however, catches her mid-air and slams her onto the floor!
Bolt Thomas:
Mighty Frank demonstrating his impressive strength catching Victoria Travis in mid-air.
Aaron Gurst:
No one is doubting he is strong, but does he have the skills to actually beat Victoria Travis?
Frank pulls her back to her feet and tosses her back into the ring. He follows in after her. Victoria rolls to the center of the ring and Frank motions for the SENKO DOMINATION. He pumphandles her up and holds her up in the air turning around to demonstrate his strength again. He drives her down for a backbreaker to complete the SENKO DOMINATION but Victoria reverses at the last second and she hits him with the SWIFT END!
Victoria covers.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE-NO!!!
MIGHTY FRANK GETS A SHOULDER UP!
Bolt Thomas:
Victoria Travis can’t believe he just kicked out of that!
Aaron Gurst:
She’s pissed… you can tell she’s pissed, but then again, when is she not?
Victoria kips up and she waits for Frank to get to his feet, once he is up, she attempts a superkick but Frank ducks under it and hits her with a teardrop suplex. He covers.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Mighty Frank tried to put her out but Victoria Travis isn’t done yet!
Aaron Gurst:
Dang! I thought it was Miller time.
Both wrestlers are up, they trade blows back and forth before Victoria kicks Frank in the gut and drops him with a DDT. She covers.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!!!
Victoria is the first one up, she pulls Frank to his feet and hits him with a swinging neckbreaker before dropping an elbow across his heart. Frank holds his chest and kicks his feet trying to fight off the pain.
Aaron Gurst:
She’s going to give the old man a heart attack!
Victoria pulls Frank up, he pushes her back with one arm but she captures him with a Fujiwara arm bar.
Bolt Thomas:
Victoria Travis caught him off guard with that arm bar!
Aaron Gurst:
Now, she’s going to rip that arm off!
Frank tries to roll out of the arm bar, but Victoria locks it in harder. He cries out in pain as he desperately reaches for the ropes. Victoria however, pulls him away from the ropes. Frank cries out again, and the referee checks on him, but he shakes his head, refusing to tap. He claws at the mat and eventually pulls himself closer to the ropes. Victoria sees this and tries to pull him away again, but Frank reaches out in desperation and grabs hold of the ropes. The crowd goes wild and the referee notices this, he orders Victoria to break the hold but she shakes her head no.
Bolt Thomas:
Victoria Travis is looking to do damage to that arm.
Aaron Gurst:
She better not get herself disqualifed!
The referee warns her again and begins to count to three.
ONE…
TWO…
TH-Victoria releases the hold.
She rolls over to the corner and pulls herself up. Victoria taunts the crowd again drawing in a mixed reaction. Frank slowly climbs to his feet, clutching his arm in pain, she runs at him and attempts a flying lariat but Frank drops down and hits her with HANGIN’ DRYWALL!
He covers.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Mighty Frank has pulled it off… He is back!
Aaron Gurst:
Easy now, Dolty. Don't blow an o-ring.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And the winner is… MIGHTY FRANK!!!
Victoria scowls and shakes her head as she exits the ring and walks to the back. Frank rolls out of the ring and grabs a microphone before he climbs back in.
A Challenge
Mighty Frank:
You know, Vicky. You said something that resonated with me… I won’t get a chance to wrap my damn hands around Mr. Natural or Mud Mouth’s neck. I waited too long and I will have to live with that regret the rest of days. But I figure why not go for the next best thing? Why not challenge the person that took Kendrick’s prized Elimination Championship from him and kept it from him despite all his efforts? That’s right… it’s time for Mighty Frank to get his mojo back. Denni Summers if your back there. I hereby challenge you to a match. Any place, any time. What do ya say?
The crowd murmurs in anticipation, before "Open Your Eyes" begins to play, and Denni Summers steps out into the entryway with a microphone in hand. She surveys the crowd for a few moments before focusing her attention on Frank and raising the microphone to speak.
Denni Summers:
You know what, Frank? I get it. You want to regain your relevancy, and while you'd love to do it against your former boss... Well, I made it so that's not exactly possible. Hell, like you said, not only did I take his prized possession from him, but, well... Frankly, I didn't exactly show it the respect it probably deserved, now did I? Some might say I underestimated Daisy Jones, and maybe I did... But I'd be lying if I said I was all that motivated to do the Elimination Championship justice in the first place. I've said before that I'm not exactly in this for the achievements anymore, and so I admit I took the thing for granted a bit. In the end, though, if you ask me, well... All I did was remove a burden.
She shrugs her shoulders, moving her arms in circles a bit as if relieved of a heavy weight, then continues speaking.
Denni Summers:
All that is to say that I get where you're coming from. You figure if you can't get your hands on Mr. Natural, well... You might as well take me down, seeing as I'm the one that took him out in the first place. And, hey, that's fine. I respect it, even. That said, I'd argue I'm in the best shape of my life, so if you think it's going to be easy, you're sorely mistaken. As it is, I promised all of these Sweet Teeth out here that they'd see a new Denni Summers in 2024, and while I haven't exactly shown much of that, yet, I'm thinking you just might get to be the first to really meet her. As for the time and the place? We can figure those little details out soon enough... But I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of each other real soon.
She winks as she lowers the mic, the crowd cheering at the prospect of the two squaring off.
Matt “Redline” Stevens vs. Avery Wright
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!
"Come With Me" by P. Diddy ft. Jimmy Page blasts out of the PA System and Matt "Redline" Stevens appears from behind the curtains to a mixed reception from the fans. He smirks and walks out onto the top of the ramp where he raises both his arms above his head and red and white pyro goes off around him. Redline then slowly makes his way down the ramp towards the ring and nods at a few of the fans at ringside as he passes them by. He slides into the ring under the bottom rope, climbs the nearest turnbuckle and looks out into the crowd with a grin on his face. Redline then drops back down from the turnbuckle.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, he is…MATT “REDLINE” STEVENS!!
Bolt Thomas:
He impressed in his return to CPW, and if his past successes are anything to go by…
Aaron Gurst:
He’s just getting started!
The lights dim as "Firefly" by Breaking Benjamin begins to play. After several seconds, a pattern of star-shaped lights illuminate the arena, as "The Starlight Slugger" Avery Wright stands atop the entryway with a baseball cap pulled low over her eyes and a metal baseball bat resting on her shoulder. She lifts the cap slightly as she looks over the crowd, before beginning to head down the ramp, looking straight ahead and focused on the ring. Once reaching it, she climbs up the steps, then stops to look out at the crowd once again. Tossing the cap aside, she hops up onto the second rope near the corner, spreading her arms wide and encouraging the crowd to get louder. Springing up over the ropes and landing in the ring, she heads to the center, pointing the bat out at the crowd, then walks around the ring, pointing it out at all sides as she heads to her corner, where she finally drops the bat to the outside and leans back in the corner to await the start of the match.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his opponent, she is…AVERY WRIGHT!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Now, we all know that Angel Slade can be good, but let’s be honest…this is different.
Aaron Gurst:
Avery is definitely better than Angel on average, but Redline is pretty damn good, too!
The referee looks at both wrestlers to make sure they’re ready for the upcoming match. Redline shakes his head - almost annoyed that he needs to waste his time on an opponent like Avery. The referee then calls for the bell and the match is officially underway! Almost immediately, Avery charges across the ring and blasts Redline in the mouth with a forearm shot! She follows it up with a second and then a third. Redline stumbles back from the impact as Avery grabs hold of him and tries to shoot Redline across the ring. He reverses the attempt and instead lifts Avery into the air on the rebound, slamming her down to the mat with a belly to belly suplex! Avery stumbles back up to her feet as Redline charges at her and sends her crashing to the mat with a clothesline!
Bolt Thomas:
Quick start to this one by Redline, and he’s continuing to show that he’s as good as he’s ever been!
Aaron Gurst:
He knew how Avery was going to react, and responded accordingly! You gotta love that about him!
Avery Wright tries to stumble back up to her feet. Unfortunately for her, before she’s able to do so, Redline grabs hold of her. He throws her back against the nearest turnbuckle and holds her there for a moment before delivering a massive chop to the chest! He follows it up with a second, and then a third. Redline then shoots Avery across the ring with a great deal of force - Avery’s collision with the opposite turnbuckle causing her to fall to the mat! She tries to stumble back up to her feet, but Redline hoists her into the air and drops her onto his knee for a backbreaker! He then hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
Avery kicks out!
Avery stumbles back up to her feet slowly. Redline grabs hold of her and shoots Avery across the ring. When she comes back on the rebound, he lifts her into the air and tries to get her into position for The Stevens Effect! She almost immediately frees herself from his grasp and lands on the mat behind him. Redline turns around as Avery leaps into the air and hits with an enziguiri! Redline drops to a knee as Avery bounces off of the ropes and plants him on the mat with a spike hurricanrana! The fans cheer as Avery hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
THR—NO!
Redline groggily tries to bring himself back up to his feet. Before he can do so, Avery bounces off of the ropes and catches him by surprise with a shining wizard! She hooks the leg once again and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
TH—NO!
Bolt Thomas:
There are only so many times you can get hit in the head like that!
The fans continue to cheer Avery on. She nods her head and grabs hold of Redline. She tries to set him up for a DDT, but just before she can plant him on the mat, Redline shoves her away. Avery stumbles a few steps as Redline charges at her and delivers a discus clothesline! The fans start to boo as Redline waves them off dismissively. They continue to boo as Redline grabs hold of Avery. He pulls her back up to her feet and wrestles her into position for a Full Throttle! Just before he can send Avery to the mat, she spins out of his grasp! Avery leaps into the air and catches Redline on the jaw with a knee strike! He drops down to his knee and tries to pull himself back up to his feet, only to get caught by surprise with a Starstruck! The fans cheer as Avery rolls Redline over and covers for the…
ONE!

Archangel Michael vs. Stephen Ashworth
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!
"Punishment" by Biohazard begins to play, Golden light fills the arena as a white strobe alternates in time with the music. Suddenly, Archangel Michael appears. He stands in all of his glory and surveys his dominion for evil to vanquish before heading down to the right.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, he is...ARCHANGEL MICHAEL!!!
Bolt Thomas:
I'm telling you, Aaron...I wouldn't want to be in the ring with him!
Aaron Gurst:
At least he's less obnoxious than his opponent! He's got that going for him!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his opponent...
Light Em Up/Radioactive mashup begins to to play. Stephen and Ryan Ashworth come jogging out of the entrance way. Stephen throws his arms out, waving to the crowd to make some noise and trying ot get the crowd behind them while Ryan raises his arms. They go to the center of the ramp, holding up three fingers and begin counting down “Three...Two...One! Lay-on!” while throwing the arm out and lifting a finger for the countdown.
The two walk down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans and then climb the stairs at ringside and head into the ring. They each take a turnbuckle, Ryan looking over the crowd and throwing his arms out, while Stephen again, tries to rally the crowd behind them, yelling out "It's party time!" to the cheering crowd. The two men climb down and exit the ring. Stephen takes off his headband, giving it to a fan at ringside and then removes his jacket, handing it to Ryan before sliding back into the ring.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
...he is, STEPHEN ASHWORTH!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Stephen is more of a tag-team wrestler, but he's still got one hell of an opportunity here tonight!
Aaron Gurst:
Yeah, yeah...I guess that's one way to put it! Let's see what he's got!
The referee looks at both men before calling for the bell, the match officially underway. Almost immediately, Archangel Michael runs across the ring and catches Stephen with a forearm smash! He follows it up with a second then a third. Stephen is barely able to keep his balance as Michael grabs hold of him and shoots him across the ring. When Stephen comes back on the rebound, Michael ducks down and launches Stephen high into the air - slamming him to the mat with a back body drop! Stephen tries to drag himself back up to his feet quickly - only to have Michael dive at him with a clothesline that sends him right back to the mat!
Bolt Thomas:
An aggressive start to this one by Archangel Michael!
Aaron Gurst:
When you're in the ring on a mission from the Lord himself, you can't afford to dilly-dally in there!
Michael grabs hold of Stephen and shakes his head. He grabs hold of him and tries to shoot him across the ring toward the nearest turnbuckle. Stephen is able to reverse the attempt as he instead sends Michael crashing into the turnbuckle! Michael stumbles out of the corner and tries to regain his footing. Before he's able to do so, Stephen smirks and steps toward him - hitting Michael with a perfectly timed superkick! Michael crashes back into the turnbuckle as Stephen quickly hurries to the center of the ring. He pauses for a moment before charging forward and hitting Michael with a running clothesline! He then follows it up almost immediately with a running bulldog!
Bolt Thomas:
And now Stephen Ashworth is showing off his athleticism!
Aaron Gurst:
Just because he's more known for being a tag-team wrestler doesn't mean that Stephen can't hang on his own!
Michael slowly stumbles back up to his feet. Stephen bounces off of the ropes and tries to pick up speed to keep his momentum going - only to have Michael cut him off by lifting Stephen into the air for a huge tilt-a-whirl slam! Michael glares down at Stephen for a moment before shaking his head. He drags him up and pounds away on Stephen with a series of hard forearm shots.

ONE!
TWO!
TH---NO!
Bolt Thomas:
Back to back nearfalls!
Both wrestlers pull themselves back up to their feet. Stephen tries to pick up speed by bouncing off of the ropes as fast as he can - though Michael cuts him off by hitting Stephen with a big boot!

Frank nods.
Mighty Frank:
I would've done the same.
Ava Jupiter:
We good?
Frank looks the Champions up and down.

This man never looks like he’s in a good mood.

He’s not.
Bolt Thomas:
And that usually means bad things for his opponents.
Aaron Gurst:
Yes… yes it does.
Blue lights strobe around the arena as the opening riffs of "Elevation" hit the arena sound system. The fans rise to their feet in anticipation. Suddenly, the opening drums of "Nothing Left" pound the sound system as Joe Summers comes running out from the back. He stands at the top of the ramp, looking focused as ever.

Nightmare/Miss Daisy Jones vs. Francico Lopez/Kelly James
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following contest is a tag team match and it is set for one fall!
“Wayward One” starts playing as the lights turn Blue and Silver. 12 seconds into the song, Francisco Lopez appears on the stage, surrounded by smoke. He slowly makes his way to the ring, staring at his battleground as he walks around the ring. He slides into the ring, and stands in the center of the ring for a few moments, staring into the distance. He walks toward a nearby corner and stands, waiting for the match to start.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, from team number one… Francisco Lopez!
Bolt Thomas:
And here we go!
Aaron Gurst:
Two people who were champions vs two who are!
Bolt Thomas:
And the two who were are constant threats to become champions again.
Aaron Gurst:
Nightmare and Miss Daisy might have something to say about that.
The sound of an engine starting can be heard as "Saturday Night" by the Kaiser Chiefs hits the sound system. "The Apex" Kelly James appears at the top of the ramp, waving a checkered flag as she stands and smiles at the crowd. She makes her way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans as she passes, then climbs into the ring and up into the corner, waving the flag high above her head and waving to the crowd. She then hops down, setting the flag down in the corner and beginning to stretch as she awaits the start of the match.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his tag team partner, “The Apex” Kelly James!
Bolt Thomas:
And here she comes!
Aaron Gurst:
Now she can put up or shut up!
Bolt Thomas:
She already put up!
Aaron Gurst:
Well now she’s got to prove she can do it again!
Miss Daisy Jones walks to the ring, looking down on everyone as she enters.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their opponents, first the CPW Elimination Champion, Miss Daisy Jones!
Bolt Thomas:
And here’s…
Aaron Gurst:
Class is in session, Dolty!
Bolt Thomas:
I’m not sure anyone wanted this class.
Aaron Gurst:
So you didn’t do your homework then?
The house lights cut out as the opening of “Press F” by Attack Attack! begins to play around the arena as the strobes begin to flash in hues of purple to the beat of the bass and drums. At the 18second mark of the song as the lyrics kick in we watch as Nightmare make his way onto the stage. His head cloaked by the zipped black hoodie he wears; we watch as he takes a few steps forward before looking out at the crowd. Turning his back he pauses for a moment before beginning to walk backwards towards the ring while looking up at the arena tron. After a few steps he turns around and sprints the rest of the way to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. Once inside the ring, we watch as Nightmare goes to the far right turnbuckle and stands atop the 2nd rope and unzips his hoodie to display his title before unbuckling it and letting it fall to the ground. As he looks out at the crowd Nightmare throws his arms up in an X under his chin before extending his arms out to flip off the crowd before looking down at the belt before sitting cross-legged in the corner, awaiting for the match to begin.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And her partner, the CPW Xtreme Chaos AND CPW Devastation Champion, Nightmare!
Bolt Thomas:
And the double champion is here!
Aaron Gurst:
Talk about doing your homework!
Bolt Thomas:
The dog ate mine.
Aaron Gurst:
A likely excuse, Mister Thomas…
As the bell sounds, Miss Daisy turns to face Lopez and Kelly. Lopez and Kelly nod to each other as they decide who will start the match with the respective champion. Before any decision can be made, Nightmare runs up and hits the Driver’s Side Impact on Miss Daisy. He stands back up, shakes his head in disgust and leaves her lying there as he walks to the backstage area.
Bolt Thomas:
What has he just done?!!?
Aaron Gurst:
I think he just made sure to piss on detention!
Bolt Thomas:
Kelly and Lopez look shocked.
Aaron Gurst:
I think we all are!
Lopez and Kelly stare at the fallen Miss Daisy and watch Nightmare leave. Kelly walks over and checks on Miss Daisy, almost inadvertently covering her in the process.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Bolt Thomas:
So… I guess we’re done here?
Aaron Gurst:
Nightmare made sure we were done almost as soon as the bell rang!
Bolt Thomas:
So now what happens?
Aaron Gurst:
I have no idea.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Here are your winners, the team of Francico Lopez and Kelly James!
