Welcome to the first ever NFA show on PPV! We are back by popular demand, and we're not gonna waste any time getting to the action!
Our first match tonight features three of
The Four Horsewomen (
Charlotte,
Becky Lynch, and
Sasha Banks) taking on
Eva Marie,
Emma and
Summer Rae in tag team action.
Bayley is at ringside with her fellow Horsewomen. The match starts off with Charlotte taking on Eva Marie. The heat for Eva is deafening. Charlotte lights up Eva's chest with multiple sickening chops - talk about 'All Red Everything'! Eva squirms her way to her own corner and tags in Emma. Emma and Charlotte lock up, and soon Emma takes control. Emma puts Charlotte in a headlock, and mocks her with a 'Woo!' of her own. Charlotte overpowers Emma, hits her with a back suplex, and gets the tag to Becky Lynch. Becky is all fired up here, and dropkicks Emma halfway across the ring. Emma tags in Summer Rae, and here she comes. Summer forearms Becky in the face, but the Irish spirit in Becky allows her to shake it off. Becky and Summer exchange blows, until Becky gets Summer into the corner of the Four Horsewomen. Becky tags in Sasha Banks, who immediately connects with the Back Stabber into the Banks Statement. Emma tries to enter the ring with a steel chair to break the hold, but Bayley grabs the chair out of her hands. Summer Rae has no choice but to tap out, giving the first win of the night to The Four Horsewomen.
The Four Horsewomen celebrate their win after the match, but they're interrupted by the music of the
NFA Commissioner Brandon! Brandon gets on the microphone, "My sincere congratulations, Horsewomen," he continues, "But you really shouldn't celebrate until you've won something important." The crowd boos Brandon for his brutal honesty. "You see, at our next event, we're going to crown the first ever NFA Women's Champion in the main event. Now let me see, what kind of match is worthy of crowning our first NFA Women's Champion? Oh, I know - The Elimination Chamber!" The crowd cheers for the blockbuster announcement! "And who'll be in it? That's easy - it'll be Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch vs. the debuting
Nikki Bella vs. Eva Marie, the only woman who actually impressed me here tonight, vs.
Jessica!" The crowd cheers even louder as the participants are announced! "And I'm not finished yet! Because the following month will see the winner defend their newly won championship against none other than this woman..." Joan Jett's 'Bad Reputation' hits the speakers in the arena - and here she comes - it's
Ronda Rousey! The arena is shaking now, as the crowd goes completely nuts! Ronda Rousey is here in NFA!
A hype video airs announcing that
John Cena will be here at the next event.
Up next on NFA 1: New Beginnings is the first match in our one night tournament to crown the first ever NFA World Heavyweight Champion.
Cesaro makes his way out first, and he's followed by his opponent tonight,
Tiarnán. The two men waste no time going at it. Cesaro manhandles Tiarnán with ease, as he tosses him around with suplex variation after suplex variation. Cesaro attempts a running European uppercut, but Tiarnán rolls passed Cesaro, turns around, and delivers a huge superkick to the face. Tiarnán attempts a cover, but it's not enough to keep Cesaro down. Cesaro goes back on the offensive, and finally hits the running European uppercut. Unfortunately for Cesaro, Tiarnán manages to roll to the outside to avoid getting pinned. Tiarnán makes it back into the ring before getting himself counted out. Cesaro kicks Tiarnán in the midsection, and puts him in the powerbomb set-up. Cesaro lifts Tiarnán for the powerbomb, but Tiarnán sprays him in the eyes with the green mist! How dastardly of Tiarnán! Tiarnán then rolls through and pins Cesaro with a small package to advance to the finals later tonight.
Backstage, we hear somebody knocking on
Brandon's office door. "Come in!" The debuting
Rey Mysterio opens the door! "You wanted to see me?" "Come on in. You're late." The camera pans to reveal
Jason,
Kofi Kingston,
Sami Zayn,
Dean Ambrose,
Neville,
Hideo Itami,
Finn Bálor,
Xavier Woods and
AJ Styles already inside the office. "Now that you're here, we can finally proceed," our boss announces, "At our next event, you ten men will have the chance to make history, because one of you will be the first ever NFA Cruiserweight Champion." The men in the office square each other up - with Jason refusing to take his eyes off of Finn Bálor, although that may be for other reasons.
Seth Rollins is already in the ring awaiting the arrival of his opponent in the next NFA World Heavyweight Championship tournament match. And his opponent is none other than
Burke! Burke enters the ring to massive cheers from the live audience! Burke and Rollins lock up in the centre of the ring in a test of strength. Burke wins the shoving match, and immediately hits Rollins with a Protoplex, which gets him an early two count. Rollins escapes to the outside of the ring to revaluate his strategy in this match, he then re-enters the ring, having thought up a new plan. Rollins hits a quick enziguri, which he follows up with seated headlock. Burke powers out of the headlock and throws Seth at the ropes. He bounces off of the ropes, and heads back towards Burke. Burke ducks his head, looking to throw Rollins over his head with a big back body drop, but Rollins is too smart for that, and instead kicks Burke in the face. Rollins hits the ropes again, but Burke catches him in the FU position. Burke grins at the hard camera, and throws Seth off of his shoulders. However, Seth lands on his feet, turns around, kicks Burke in the ribs, and hits the Pedigree for the win. Burke and the live crowd are shocked! Burke gets up of the mat and walks up to Rollins. He gets in Rollins' face, before thinking better of it, and instead raises Seth's hand in victory. Burke then leaves the ring, and walks to the back - allowing Seth to have his moment in the spotlight.
After a quick message from our sponsors, we are back! And, oh no, here comes
Tarry, and he doesn't look happy. Tarry grabs a microphone from ringside, and immediately starts voicing his opinions on tonight's show, "I should have been in the NFA World Heavyweight Championship tournament! Me!" he shouts at the top of his lungs, "Who has
Cesaro ever beat? Not me! Not a former World Champion like myself!" The crowd boos Tarry's attempts to ruin what has been a great night so far, but those boos quickly turn to cheers, because
Roman Reigns' music hits and out he comes through the crowd. "Who the hell are you?" Tarry demands to know. Roman takes a few moments to take in the atmosphere, and then he answers, "My name is Roman Reigns, and I agree with you," Tarry looks shocked at Reigns admitting that Tarry is right, "I agree that somebody was wrongfully excluded from the tournament tonight, and that man is a former World Champion, but that man is not you!" Tarry looks pissed now, "No, that man is me! And I'm gonna prove that at the next event when I beat you in a match - Believe that!" Reigns then hits Tarry with the Superman Punch as the crowd pops!
It's now time for our main event!
NFA Commissioner Brandon is in the ring holding the brand new NFA World Heavyweight Championship belt, and it is beautiful!
Seth Rollins' music hits first, and he walks out to cheers from our live audience.
Tiarnán is out next to a mixed reaction, but that's to be expected after he cheated to get into this match. Brandon covers the formal announcements, and then holds the NFA World Heavyweight Championship into the air. The bell sounds, and the two competitors waste little time. Then exchange punches and kicks for the first couple of minutes of the match, with neither man seeming able to get an advantage over the other. Tiarnán attempts the green mist, like he did in his match with Cesaro earlier tonight, but Seth ducks and the mist misses. Seth then kicks Tiarnán in the calf, then again in the ribs, another kick lands on Tiarnán's right arm, before Seth finally delivers the kill shot with a huge kick to the jaw of his opponent. Seth makes the cover, but Tiarnán kicks out with barely any time left to do so. Seth calls for the Curb Stomp, but a female fan jumps on the apron and distracts the referee. Wait, that's not a fan - that's
Melina! While the referee is busy handling Melina's interference,
John Morrison sneaks in the ring and hits Seth Rollins in the head with a steel chair. Tiarnán takes advantage, and locks Seth in the dragon sleeper. Melina finally jumps off of the apron, allowing the referee to do his job. The referee turns around to see Seth unconscious in the dragon sleeper. The referee calls for the bell, giving Tiarnán the win. Tiarnán celebrates the win in the ring with Morrison and Melina. Brandon enters the ring, hands Tiarnán the NFA World Heavyweight Championship, and side eyes him and his allies the entire time.
Thank you for watching our very first event, we hope you come back soon! Wait, I've just been informed that something is happening in the parking lot - we take you there live now. "He's been shot!" a woman screams as she kneels beside a man in a pool of his own blood. Now that I have a better look at her, the woman is in fact
Bayley. And the man? The man is - oh my god - the man is
Burke. Somebody has shot Burke!
