[Brandon]

When did you get a law degree?

The Big Dog has marked his territory.

And EC3 is gonna have a rolled up newspaper waiting for him at Bragging Rights.

Honestly, I've secretly always wanted to be on the Jerry Springer show, so I'm glad that now I technically kinda can say that I have.

Oct 20, 2017 13:46:26 GMT -5 Burke said:

You can’t see our next segment because it’s once again time for the John Cena Television Championship open challenge!

If only, sis. Oh, you should've had Tony get cocky and pause to count his abs or something to showcase a little personality, but you've proven to only be proficient at writing Cena, HHH and yourself.

Olivia staking her claim and promising to reap the harvest.



Not Jericho adding baby Mizryse to the list! 💀 You couldn't have at least pretended to make The Miz look strong without Maryse's interference heading into his match with The Man?



My acting skills would truly be unparalleled in these segments.

Oct 20, 2017 13:46:26 GMT -5 Burke said:

Even Kevin Owens finds this to be a particularly evil proposal.

Maybe it's a good thing he's going to NFA.



That's going to be an exciting match though, given the stakes.

Oct 20, 2017 13:46:26 GMT -5 Burke said:

[Brandon] storms through the arena and eventually comes face to face with Catrina in the hallway. “Bitch!”

Whew, at least that was an AMAZING battle royal. I couldn't have written it better myself!

WHOOP THAT ASS, CHARLOTTE. WHOOP THAT ASS.

I know I like to swing you around by ya wig, but that wedding segment was perfect. RIP, Billy?

[Brandon]

I give up. Just do what y'all gonna do anyway and turn me heel and have me accost and cuss everyone out and act like I'm on steroids.

[Brandon]

Tiffany when FNBF has to share a locker room with NFA at Bragging Rights:

[Tarry]

The lawyer tripping on the steel steps on his way out of the ring was hilarious. Did Tiffany and EC3 use the same lawyer as Randy Orton? No, probably not, I'm sure they can afford somebody a bit better.

If you think I'm going to the effort of making a poster for this event that features EC3 and Roman Reigns split down the middle, then you can think again.

I wonder if Tiffany will have had the lawyer draw up the restraining order by the time NFA rolls around? Hmmmm

I didn't realise Jerry Springer was still on the air 💀 I'm so glad that segment ended with an out of control brawl, that was always my favourite part of the show

So, did Pentagon Jr. go the the effort of printing off a picture of John Cena, or did he find it backstage? Either way, Pentagon's message was made loud and clear.

Please retcon Chris Jericho nailing The Miz with a Codebreaker during that segment, I'm over here trying to get Miz over as a credible threat to the streak, you know? 💀 I loved Jericho adding Miz's unborn child to the streak though.

Billy Gunn is a fool, I have no sympathy for him at this point

At least Byron has experience in the ring, but man, Tom Phillips is fucked.

I hope Brandon is ready to experience the Lick of Death at Bragging Rights

Why am I picturing Tyler Breeze carrying Fandango all the way to the back? 💀

Paige was a free agent, so I can't be too mad about her jumping ship, but damn, Mickie ain't loyal.

Yes, King Tarry, teach that false Queen a lesson! King Tarry eliminating Charlotte:


The battle royal was incredible, it's a shame this match took place during Bragging Rights month when I know everything that's happening on both shows though, because I really wouldn't have been able to call it

Charlotte really is a false Queen if she lives in a house, because King Tarry lives in a castle. That's how you know he's the one true King of BPW.

I was kinda hoping that Mil Muertes would show up during the wedding.

[Tarry]

Welcome once again to NFA! Our announcers actually do their job here in NFA, as Matt Striker and Nigel McGuinness run down tonight's card, hyping up a huge main event between FNBF's Tye Dillinger - The Perfect 10 - vs. the NFA World Heavyweight Champion, The Man - The Perfect 46-0. Before we get to that, we head to the ring for another interpromotional match.

FNBF's Dolph Ziggler is in the ring, the NFA production team having decided not to allow him a televised entrance. His opponent is the man who decimated Ziggler at last year's Bragging Rights event, the NFA Zero Limits Champion, Pentagon Jr. Ziggler looks ready to finally get his revenge on Pentagon as the bell rings to start the match. Dolph comes out swinging, wildly throwing punches at NFA's resident ninja skeleton. Pentagon Jr. blocks a punch and follows up with a nasty chop to the throat. Pentagon whips Ziggler into the turnbuckle, which he uses as the set-up to the Lungblower. Pentagon Jr. makes the cover, but Ziggler kicks out! Pentagon laughs at Ziggler kicking out, possibly thinking of all the things he's about to do to him. Pentagon sets up for a Superkick, but Ziggler hops to his feet and counters with a Superkick of his own! Dolph Ziggler makes the cover, but Pentagon kicks out. Pentagon laughs as he makes it back to his feet. Ziggler attempts a second Superkick, but Pentagon Jr. catches his foot and kicks his other leg out from under him. Pentagon drags Dolph to his feet and then drops him with the Fear Factor! At this point, Pentagon Jr. usually goes for the cover, but he instead begins to apply The Sacrifice. The referee tries to talk him out of it, but Pentagon is determined to end the match in the worst way. Pentagon Jr. wrenches back on Dolph's arm, possibly snapping it in two! The referee calls for the bell, declaring Dolph Ziggler to be unfit to continue. EMTs rush to the ring as Pentagon Jr. heads up the ramp. A human sized item is on the stage concealed by a sheet. Pentagon whips the sheet off, revealing a lifesized effigy of the FNBF Television Champion, John Cena. Pentagon Jr. reaches into his tights, pulling out a zippo lighter. Pentagon Jr. ignites the lighter, tosses it at the effigy, and walks away without looking, as the effigy of John Cena begins to burn in front of the BPW Universe's eyes.

We cut to the back where we encounter Catrina and Finn Bálor. Finn is seated, and Catrina his rubbing his shoulders. "The match is set, my dear Finn Bálor, at Bragging Rights you will face Seth Rollins for the FNBF Universal Championship. Your capture of the Universe will not help to complete the prophecy, but it will open up a whole new world for us to lay waste to," she says, continuing to rub his shoulders, occasionally brushing his chest with her fingers, "You must be aware of Seth Rollins' advantage in your match though. He has somebody you can and will interfere on his behalf ... but maybe I can get inside his head before that happens." Catrina smirks as a plan of action starts to enter her mind.

Dakota Kai is in the ring ready for Women's Division action. Her opponent tonight is Bayley, who makes her way to the ring to a polite pop from the BPW Universe. The bell rings and the two women lock up, but the match doesn't get much further than that, as The Iconic Duo and Ember Moon hop the barricade and deliver a beating to both women. I expected this sort of behaviour from Billie Kay and Peyton Royce, but not Ember! The FNBF Women's Champion(s) hold Bayley in place, allowing Ember to leap from the top rope to deliver the Eclipse! The FNBF Women stand tall, but not for long, as Alexa Bliss, Naomi, and Becky Lynch sprint out from the back to chase them away! These six women will collide in the ring in a tag team match this Sunday, but who will come out with Bragging Rights?

We cut to the back where Johnny Mundo is seen sneaking into Natalya's dressing room. He's in there for mere seconds before he leaves the room with 2Pawz in his grasp. Oh no. After a quick commercial break, we return to find Johnny Mundo and the #1 Contender to the NFA Women's Intercontinental Championship, Taya, in the ring with 2Pawz. Taya has a microphone, "This Sunday I'm going to defeat Natalya to win the Women's Intercontinental Championship, but before that happens, my fiancé and I thought you would all like to see my man take on her man in a match tonight!" What ever could she mean? Tyson Kidd isn't cleared to ever wrestle again, and she couldn't mean Bret Hart, because that would just be sick. Does she mean? No, please no! "2Pawz, I challenge you to a No DQ match!" Johnny Mundo shouts into the microphone, garnering boos from the BPW Universe. A reluctant referee climbs into the ring, and it seems this one is official. Taya holds 2Pawz on the mat as Johnny Mundo goes up top to deliver End of the World. 2Pawz swipes at Taya, scratching her face, getting himself out of harms way as Mundo crashes down from the top rope. The NFA Women's Intercontinental Champion, Natalya, and her uncle, Bret Hart, make their way down to the ring! Natalya tackles Taya to the mat, trying to put on the Sharpshooter, but Taya escapes under the bottom rope. Bret grabs a lead pipe from under the ring and enters the ring. He cracks Johnny Mundo over the head with the pipe, knocking out the Mayor of Slamtown. Natalya picks up 2Pawz and places him on top of Johnny Mundo. The referee makes the count, awarding the match to 2Pawz! I can't believe that just happened. The Hart Family stands tall as Taya drags Johnny Mundo out of the ring, trying to help him return to the back.

We see Summer Rae walking down the corridor, making her way towards her office. As she prepares to open the door, we hear a commotion inside. Summer bursts through the door, and there in her office, is the FNBF General Manager, Tiffany, and her fiancé, EC3, making out on the desk. "What the hell is happening in here?" Summer demands to know. EC3 rolls off of Tiffany, as Tiffany hops down from the desk, readjusting her skirt. "Seeing as your NFA Superstars have been doing whatever they like over on FNBF, we thought we'd come over here and do the same thing," Tiffany says, checking her hair in the mirror. "Well, you've made your point," Summer says, gesturing to the door, "Now leave." "Do you not know who we are?" EC3 asks, "My dear aunt Dixie Carter is well on her way to running this company, so you should treat us with some respect." "Hmm, no, I'm not going to do that. In fact, if you don't leave right now, I'll have to call somebody to come and remove you," Summer continues, "And you know exactly who that'll be." "After last week's FNBF, we filed for a restraining order against that man," Tiffany replies, producing the legal document from her bust, "So, I'm gonna have to call your bluff on that one." Summer Rae clicks her fingers, and the shadow of a large man is cast over the office. The camera pans around to reveal ... Rockstar Spud. Oh. "You heard Madam Summer, get out of here before I make you!" Rockstar Spud puffs out his chest, which EC3 and Tiffany find hysterical, "You really want to test The Bigger Dog? That's fine, but why don't we do this in the ring?" Tiffany and EC3 try to stifle their laughter, but it's no use, "Fine, I'll see you out there!" EC3 replies, continuing to laugh the entire time he answered the challenge.

    After a brief commercial break, we return to find EC3 and Rockstar Spud ready to rumble in the ring. Tiffany is in EC3's corner, as is Summer in Spud's. The bell rings and Spud charges at EC3, but the FNBF Superstar steps out of the way, sending Spud crashing into the turnbuckle. EC3 hooks Spud by the head and drives him to the mat with the One Percenter to pick up the easy win. Tiffany climbs into the ring and plants a kiss on her fiancé, but their celebration doesn't last long, as Roman Reigns makes his way down to the ring. Tiffany presents Roman with the restraining order, but he rips it up on sight! I'm not sure that actually voids it, but okay then. Reigns then turns on his heel and surprises EC3 with a Superman Punch! EC3 rolls to the outside and Tiffany follows, checking on her man. Summer Rae enters the ring and raises Roman Reigns' arm, could this be the same sight we witness this Sunday?

Jessica, Dalton Castle, and The Boys are in the ring. Jessica has a microphone in hand, and she does not look happy. "Maria Kanellis, get your dumb ass out here!" After a brief moment of silence, "HERE'S TO THE GREATEST (GREATEST) LOVE I'VE EVER KNOWN!" plays over the speakers. "Oh, Jessica, you must have finally opened your heart to true love and you clearly want my advice on the matter," Maria says, walking onto the stage holding the hand of her husband, Mike Kanellis. "Shut the hell up!" Jessica snaps, "I've called you out here for one reason and one reason only - to challenge you both to a mixed tag team match this Sunday!" Maria and Mike exchange whispers, before Maria finally answers the challenge. "No. You should learn that you don't need to say yes to every indecent proposal you receive," Maria replies, "You should learn to say no more often, and instead, you should save all future yeses for true love and true love only, just as I've only ever said yes to marrying my husband Mike, and to following The White Rabbit!" Jessica throws down her microphone and climbs out of the ring, making a beeline up the ramp towards Maria. Mike pulls Maria away, and the King & Queen of Hearts escape to the back as Dalton Castle and The Boys hold Jessica back.

British Strong Style, the team of Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne, make their way to the ring for tag team action. One half of the NFA Tag Team Champions, Kane, makes his way out onto the stage. His entrance is interrupted by the other half of the NFA Tag Team Champions, Enzo Amore, and of course he has a microphone. "My name is Enzo Amore, and I'm a certified G, and a bonafide stud, and you can't teach that!" he continues, "And this right here, this is Kane, and he's the Big Red Pimp Daddy, and you can't teach that! BADA BOOM, REALEST GUYS IN THE ROOM! How you doin'?!" Enzo and Kane make their way down to the ring, where Enzo once again continues to trash talk, "You British people enjoy drinking tea, but tonight, we're pouring you out a cuppa 'L' because you're losing here tonight, just like the British lost to America in 1776!" The bell rings and Pete Dunne immediately lays out Enzo with a vicious headbutt! Dunne drags Enzo into the British Strong Style corner and tags in Tyler Bate. Bate and Dunne take turns delivering Uppercuts to Enzo until the referee finally gets Dunne out of the ring. Enzo kicks out Bate's knee and tries to tag in Kane, but Pete Dunne rushes into the ring and cuts him off. Tyler Bate grabs Enzo and delivers an Airplane Spin, resulting in Enzo becoming even dizzier than usual. Tyler dumps Amore onto the mat, before dragging him back to his feet, delivering the Tyler Driver '97 to pick up the huge non-title win! Kane enters the ring after the match, grabbing Enzo Amore by the throat and driving him into the mat with a Chokeslam! Psychedelic music hits the speakers as The Authors of Pain make their way to the ring. Suddenly, the entire NFA Tag Team Division bursts out from behind the curtain, rushing to the ring. The division engage in yet another all out brawl, the last of it's kind after this Sunday's Bragging Rights Kick Off show, hopefully. It comes down to just The Authors of Pain, The New Day, and Kane in the ring. The New Day and Kane use their numbers advantage to get The Authors of Pain teetering over the ropes! Enzo Amore slides into the ring and grabs the legs of The New Day, helping Kane to tip out The Authors of Pain and The New Day! Could the NFA Tag Team Champions actually pull it off this weekend and retain their titles?

The Royal Band begins to play as King Tarry makes his triumphant return to NFA. We get a recap of King Tarry costing Charlotte her chance to represent the FNBF Women's Division at Bragging Rights - I can only assume he's here to address his actions here tonight. "Peasants, I have returned to save you from that wench, the false queen, Charlotte!" The BPW Universe gives him a mixed reaction, seemingly wanting to support NFA, but not King Tarry's misogyny. Charlotte's music hits the speakers, and here she is to make good on her promise to show up here tonight! "I hope you're here to bend the knee!" King Tarry shouts, but Charlotte shakes her head at him. "I'm not," Charlotte replies, "As Queen, I'm here to tell YOU to BEND THE KNEE!" King Tarry takes a step back, shocked at what he's just heard. "There's only one way to settle this!" King Tarry exclaims, pointing his sceptre at Charlotte, "I challenge you to the Royal Brawl III: Bend the Knee!" The BPW Universe and King Tarry wait for Charlotte's reply, which turns out to be just one word, "Wooooooo!" King Tarry falls backwards out of the ring, intimidated by Charlotte's fearless reply. Charlotte leaves the ring, as King Tarry yells for his footmen to help him back to his feet.

It's now time for our main event of the evening! In the ring, The Perfect 10, Tye Dillinger! His opponent, the NFA World Heavyweight Champion - The Perfect 46-0 - The Man, makes his way out, asking for the bell to ring before he's even in the ring. Is that a wise move? Probably not, as Tye Dillinger takes advantage by delivering a baseball slide to the undefeated monster! Tye unloads on The Man, but The Man is seemingly unaffected, pushing Dillinger back first into the ring apron. The Man rolls Tye into the ring and delivers an elbow to the back, which he then follows up with a leg drop to the back! The Man then delivers the World's Strongest Splash to the back of Tye Dillinger! The Man refuses to go for the cover, instead wanting to deliver more damage to The Perfect 10. The Man scoops Tye Dillinger up for a Powerbomb, but before he can slam him to the mat,"AWESOME!" rings out around the arena. Tye Dillinger takes advantage of the distraction, countering the Powerbomb into a Sunset Flip! Tye has The Man's shoulders down! 1 ... 2 ... No! The Man kicks out! The Miz has made his way down to ringside, pushing JoJo to one side to snatch the steel chair she was sat on. The Man hoists Tye Dillinger onto his shoulders and crushes him with the Death Valley Driver! The Man makes the cover, but The Miz breaks up the pin attempt with a steel chair shot to the back! The referee calls for the bell, awarding The Man his 47th win. The Man turns to face The Miz, but The Miz cracks him in the head with the steel chair, busting him wide open! The Man falls to his knees, so The Miz delivers another chair shot to the skull! This is hard to watch. The Miz demands to be handed the NFA World Heavyweight Championship, which he proceeds to lift high above his head. He then points to the titantron.

    On the titantron, we see shots of NFA Superstars and road agents laid out in the back. We see TJP, Neville, Will Ospreay, Rich Swann, and Rob Van Dam laid out in the corridor. We then see King Tarry laid out in the trainer's room. Finn Bálor is seen laying face down on the floor of Catrina's shrine room. In the locker room we discover Kane, The Usos, and even the NFA Zero Limits Champion, Pentagon Jr., all unconscious. Elsewhere we see that Alexa Bliss, Naomi, and Becky Lynch have also been laid out. We then cut to the parking lot where the FNBF Universal Champion Seth Rollins, Jason, EC3, the FNBF General Manager Tiffany, The Revival, Charlotte, the FNBF Women's Champion(s) The Iconic Duo, Ember Moon, American Alpha, Baron Corbin, and more, are all gathered. The doors of the parking lot burst open as The Miz rejoins his colleagues. He quotes The A-Team, claiming to love it when a plan comes together. Suddenly, the doors burst open once again, and stood in the doorway is The Man of a Thousand Deaths, Mil Muertes. Mil Muertes gives chase to the FNBF roster, but as they're running for their lives, The Revival shout, "Now!" which appears to be a cue of some sort. A car speeds into frame, running down Mil Muertes! Oh my god! Brandon steps out of the vehicle, surveying the damage. Mil Muertes begins to stir, putting the frighteners on Brandon, who ditches the car and flees with the rest of the roster. What sort of consequences are on the horizon when Mil Muertes and the rest of the NFA roster gets their hands on Brandon and the stars of FNBF?

[Burke]

Dolph getting bitched out always bring a smile to my dark soul. I'm not sure what I liked better, the fact that he didn't get an entrance or the broken arm.

Pentagon best believe that he's not going to be wrestling a piece of paper or a blow-up doll on Sunday. I hope he's ready to get that attitude adjusted.

Is Catrina trying to take Brandon's massage side-gig with all that rubbing going on?

TID are already proving to be such a bad influence on Ember and it hasn't even been a week.

Oh my God. That 2Pawz match was one of the greatest moments any of us have ever done. I thought you were actually going to crush the poor thing to death for a second. That scratch! I hope 2Pawz pissed or shit on Mundo during the pin too.

Not Tiffany keeping the legal papers down her bra.

Every week Maria is just making the beating she's eventually going to receive worse with these comments.

We need a video compilation of all the times Kane has chokeslammed Enzo since they started teaming up.

King Tarry taking a bump off the wooooooo!

Imagine Tye Dillinger had ended the streak on a random episode less than a week before a big PPV.

That ending segment was great. Where did you get the idea?! It was already great before Brandon attempted vehicular homicide but that took it over the top.

[Jayzero]

Alright, lemme get back into this before I miss out on an entire era.

I see Pentagon Jr. hasn't changed. Poor Dolph. Is he having an inferno match with Cena? Because I'm here for it.

I'd watch Catrina and Balor fuck. To be frank.

Is Dakota Kai the chick from WrestleMania X? It's too bad Ember didn't snap Bayley's arm as revenge for Dolph.

John Morrison wrestled a cat.

Dixie Carter is on her way to running the company?? Jesus, how long have I not been watching reading?

Can Spud fight James Ellsworth at the PPV?

Mike and Maria as the King and Queen of Hearts is brilliant.

Poor Kane. Stuck with Enzo. How the hell did that happen?

King Tarry! I picked a good week to come back. Oh my god, you're in a feud with Charlotte Not "bend the knee." I hope you lose.

Miz is stupid. If he had hit Dillinger he would've broken The Man's winning streak. Imagine if someone had actually ended Undertaker's Mania streak by an intentional disqualification.

Brandon tried to murder a man.

My favorite part of the show was my segment.

[Brandon]

I was so sure Tye Dillinger would fall off the face of the Earth once I stopped writing, but here he is, still being featured every week, and main eventing NFA even. Burke really tried and roast me for booking mid-carders; now he sees.

You tryna shade Dolph Ziggler by not giving him a televised entrance; meanwhile John Cena couldn't even be bothered to show.



Me reading Catrina massaing Finn Bálor's shoulders and plotting in his ear:

SPOILER: Click to show

Alexa, Naomi and Bucky keep running around trying to intimidate the FNBF women, meanwhile our girls are out here making STATEMENTS. Actions speak louder than words, ladies.



2Pawz has a better win/loss % than Astro.

EC3 and Tiffany tryna smash on Summer's desk. 💀 Please never blacklight a BPW arena.

Tiffany pulling a restraining order out of her titty. 💀 Spud's shadow. 💀 This segment alone has made this the best NFA of the year.

EC3 and Tiffany when Spud puffed out his chest:


I'm sure their match was a classic.



For real such a great use of everyone involved in those two segments, and I'm probably most looking forward to EC3 vs. Reigns on Sunday. I hope Tiffany and Summer get a catfight spot.

God bless Maria for not putting the BPW Universe through one of her matches.

Charlotte's yelling making it's way to Wednesday nights. 💀 asdfghjkl, the name of the match. This miiiiight be the best looking PPV card we've ever had. God, King Tarry is such a treasure. Both him being taken aback by her telling him to take the knee, and him bumping the woo were genius. The details like that make the physical comedy so easy to envision, which makes it hilarious. And I lied, this is probably the match I'm most looking forward to.

At least SOMEONE made The Miz look strong going into Bragging Rights. Hopefully a certain someone wont ruin that later today to put over some middle aged part timer.

Dammit, man. We wanted to SEE the siege. Honestly, though, I'm not the best driver. I was probably just trying to whip it out of the parking garage, and running Mil over was a happy accident.

[Burke]

We’re 48 hours away from Bragging Rights and we open cold with a number of limousines arriving to the arena. Out of the first limo comes Rockstar Spud. He holds the door open for Summer Rae, who steps out. The NFA General Manager is here at FNBF! The other limos empty and it appears half the NFA roster is here! The numbers include such names as The Man, Roman Reigns, Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Naomi, The New Day, Bayley and Neville. After the events of Wednesday night, it’s doubtful they’re here to have a friendly catch up with old friends.

Catrina, Finn Bálor and Mil Muertes approach the ring and the loyal FNBF audience boo the NFA trio to hell. Something tells me they didn’t travel here with the rest of the NFA roster. Catrina introduces her monster, Mil Muertes. She says he is stronger than death and Brandon’s attack on him earlier this week on NFA was foolish. She says he is Brandon’s grim reaper and he’s come to collect. “Maybe his father too.” The fans chant, “that’s too far!” She then turns her attention to Bálor. He is also coming to collect something on Sunday: the FNBF Universal Championship. Right on cue, Seth Rollins’ music hits. The Universal champ arrives, accompanied by Jason. He says he doesn’t believe in witches or monsters. “Or especially demons.” He slides into the ring and tackles Finn to the ground. Mil Muertes immediately pulls him off. Jason runs in to help his man but Catrina stops him. Jason appears to be in some kind of a trance. Catrina whispers something in his ear. Seth realises he’s out of luck. He takes a swing at Muertes though but he survives it and throws Seth into the turnbuckle before nailing him with a huge clothesline. Bálor then goes up top and hits the Coup de Grâce on the man he’ll be challenging on Sunday. Catrina gives Seth the lick of death before placing the Universal Champonship over his face. The fans show their displeasure as Catrina, Bálor and Muertes leave. Jason then snaps out of whatever spell was over him and tends to Seth.

We are given a medical update on Billy Gunn. He is in a coma after collapsing during his wedding ceremony last week. All of us at FNBF are praying for him.

In her first taste of singles competition on FNBF, Paige is in action against Carmella. Carmella leads James Ellsworth to the ring on his leash and ties him to the ring-post. Paige enters to a huge pop. The fans are glad to see her on Friday nights now. Paige locks in the PTO early and this one may be over already but Ellsworth barks and distracts her, causing her to break the hold. As Paige is left speechless by the weirdness, Carmella drops her with a superkick to the back of the head. She applies the Code of Silence but in one of the most impressive submission reversals we’ve ever seen Paige somehow battles out and turns it into the PTO! Carmella has no choice but to tap and Paige wins her first FNBF match. As she’s celebrating her win, Emma’s music hits and she saunters onto the stage. She just stands and claps and Paige is confused. What the hell, Dana Brooke comes from the other side of the ring and attacks Paige from behind! She pummels away at her and lays her out with a Samoan driver. The crowd boos as a somewhat conflicted looking Dana walks up the ramp to an awaiting Emma. Emma chuckles and raises Dana’s hand to even more boos.

Father William, Sister Taryn and Sister Thea have been on a pilgrimage to Rome this week and we see a video package of their adventures. As they approach the Vatican Father William assures them that he is a close personal friend of The Pope. They reach the entranceway and Father William goes to saunter in until he is stopped by security guards. He assures them he is welcome here and says to look him up. The security contact several parts of the organization but can’t find any info. “I’m sorry, sir. You don’t appear to have an appointment. We’re going to have to ask you to leave.” Father William is indignant. “Me and my good Sisters have travelled here all the way from the Unites States of America to seek an audience with the distinguished Pope Francis. Now gentlemen, if you’ll please.” He tries to push past the security but they grab him and carry him off the premises. Sister Thea and Sister Taryn follow in shock.

Tiffany and Dixie Carter are in The Carter Family’s private suite, sweating over the presence of NFA here tonight, when there is a knock at the door. It’s Lilian Garcia. She notes that she’s been re-negotiating her contract recently and had in fact came to an agreement with Dixie Carter but the paperwork hasn’t come through yet. Dixie apologizes. “My mistake sweetie! I’ll get right on that.” Tiffany says she can handle this though and excuses Dixie before addressing Lilian. “I apologize for aunt Dixie’s tardiness but unfortunately, the position of ring announcer has already been filled by Mike Rome. We couldn’t hang around till the last second waiting on your situation to be resolved. I’m afraid we are now not in a position to renew your contract at this point in time. Thank you for your services though and we wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavours.” Tiffany clicks her finger and security take a speechless Lilian by the arm and escort her out. She will be missed. Just not by this writer.

Following her FNBF debut last week, Mickie James is here to face Ember Moon in what looks like an exciting match-up on paper. Ember, who won a gruelling battle royal last week to earn her spot on Team FNBF at Bragging Rights, enters and is joined on the stage by The Iconic Duo. She doesn’t seem to be aware that this trios entrance was the plan and looks like she doesn’t have time for the co-Women’s Champions right now. Peyton and Billie stand on either side of her though and follow her to the ring, enthusiastically cheering her on as they go. They continue cheering her on from ringside as the match gets under way. “Come on, Emba!” Kevin Owens is begging them to stop their screeching. Their antics outside the ring constantly distract Ember rather than encourage her though. Mickie hits the Mick-Kick for a close near-fall. She then goes for a Thesz press but she is tripped by Peyton as she runs the ropes. Neither Ember nor the referee notice. Ember gets up and notices Mickie down before climbing to the top rope! Eclipse! It’s over. Ember wins and TID enter the ring and try to raise her hand before stomping away at Mickie. Ember is having none of that though. She pushes them off and tells them to chill. Ember helps Mickie back to her feet as TID exit the ring, looking a little betrayed by their new tag partner Ember. Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch and Naomi, the three women representing NFA on Sunday, emerge from the crowd and approach the ring. Ember and Mickie are outnumbered. That is, until TID sprint back to the ring! Team NFA laugh and say that this will be settled on Sunday as TID congratulate themselves on “saving” Ember.

McKenzie Mitchell is standing by with EC3. She asks for his thoughts on his handicap match with announcers Byron Saxton and Tom Phillips later tonight and then his battle of the brands bout with Roman Reigns this Sunday at Bragging Rights. He sarcastically says that tonight is going to be the toughest match of his career and he’s not sure if he’s got what it takes to survive Tom and Byron’s upcoming onslaught. On the other hand, he says Sunday will be the easiest night of his life. He chastises Roman for the “cowardly attack” he inflicted on him on NFA. “The Big Dog? More like a Lil Pussy.” He smirks and walks off.

The Queen has arrived! Charlotte is in the ring and addresses her Bragging Rights opponent, King Tarry. She says he started this war…but she’ll finish it. She promises that the King will fall on Sunday and bend the knee. Because he WILL be forced to bow down…to the Queen. King Tarry may have something to say about that though and he makes his way out. He joins Charlotte in the ring. He offers her a sporting handshake which she rejects. King Tarry is aghast. “You dishonourable wench! When we engage in fisticuffs this weekend I shall see to it that you endure a proper thrashing, woman!” Charlotte steps to him and he shuts up. King Tarry backs off. “I thought so.” Charlotte turns around and King Tarry smacks her in the back with his scepter! He then scampers out of the ring and up the ramp as Charlotte recovers. He shouts stuff about treason and has a jolly old laugh from the safety of the entranceway. King Tarry proved that he’ll be willing to fight dirty on Sunday. Will Charlotte fight fire with fire?

Tye Dillinger is in the trainer’s room. Apparently he received a partially dislocated shoulder during his match with The Man two nights ago on NFA. Baron Corbin enters and says they have a match scheduled for the Bragging Rights kick-off show on Sunday and he hopes Tye isn’t going to back out of it because of a little injury. Tye assures him he’ll be there on Sunday and stands up. Corbin backs off and laughs.

The former platinum selling recording artist is here! It’s the weekly John Cena Televison Championship open challenge! The Champ says we should do things a little differently tonight. He says there are a lot of NFA Superstars in the building, with Bragging Rights just two days away. He says he may have a huge fight ahead of him on Sunday against the monstrous Pentagon Jr. but that doesn’t mean he wants to take it easy tonight. He challenges any NFA Superstar in the back to come out and try and take his title from him. “NFA…you want some…come get some!” After a brief pause the challenge is accepted by…Big Cass! The bell rings and the FNBF crowd aren’t too kind to the NFA star, chanting, “who are you!” and “fuck him up Cena, fuck him up!” Cass dominates the early period of the match though. Cena fights back and goes for a top rope legdrop but Cass moves and nails The Champ with a huge big boot. 1…2…Cena kicks out! Cass goes for the East River Crossing but Cena lands on his feet and drops Cass with the Attitude Adjustment! He rolls through and hits another AA for good measure and gets the 3 count! Pentagon Jr.’s music hits. The NFA Zero Limits Champion walks to the ring and stands face to face with Cena. Cena says “you can’t see me!” Pentagon swings at Cena, who ducks and a brawl ensues. Cena lifts Pentagon up for an AA but he drops out and throws Cena into the ring-post. He grabs Cena by the little hair he has and drags him back to the middle of the ring before dropping him with the Fear Factor. Pentagon stands over Cena’s fallen body as the crowd boos.

A video package plays highlighting NFA World Heavyweight Champion The Man and his impressive undefeated streak. Halfway through it changes focus and starts showing all the chair shots The Miz has inflicted upon The Man in recent weeks. The video ends with The Miz standing tall and us being told that “the following video was sponsored by the next NFA World Heavyweight Champion, The Miz.” It ends and we cut to Miz and Maryse already in the ring, basking in the boos of the audience. Miz is holding a steel chair and smiling. He lifts the mic to his mouth but before he can utter a word The Man’s music hits. As the NFA champ enters the ring Miz pulls Maryse in front of him as a shield. “This is a pregnant woman! Stand back!” The Man is frustrated as Maryse takes a step forward and slaps him! With The Man shocked by this The Miz takes the opportunity to attack. He strikes The Man’s leg repeatedly with the chair and brings him down to his knees, where he then nails him with a wicked chair shot to the skull. Miz looks a little taken aback like he maybe went too far. He takes Maryse’s hand and they go to leave until they notice The Man getting back up. Miz grits his teeth and picks the chair back up, nailing The Man in the head once again. He throws the chair down and goes to leave again. The Man very slowly pulls himself back up and The Miz has had enough. He picks the chair back up again and smashes The Man in the face with the hardest shot yet. The crowd appear to be uncomfortable with this assault as The Man has been busted wide open by Miz for the second time this week. The Man doesn’t seem to be able to shake that last one off. The Miz grabs the NFA World Championship title belt and holds it in the air with one hand while holding the chair up with the other as the audience boos this vicious attack.

Across town, we see an exterior shot of Mercy Vale Medical Center before fading inside, where a sniffling Brandon hesitates before knocking softly on room #69. After a beat, the door opens, and Laurel Van Ness' eyes narrow when she sees that it's him. "What are you doing here?" she sneers. "How is he?" Brandon gently asks, ignoring Laurel's reaction. She glares at him. "He's on life support." she tells him, her eyes instantly beginning to water. "And it's all your fault!" Laurel exclaims, pointing an accusatory finger at Brandon. In the background, a nurse looks up from her clipboard; her exotic eyes watching the scene unfold. Brandon swallows, processing what she's just told him. "Look, Laurel, I know we've had our problems, but I really need to see-" Before he can finish, Laurel cuts him off. "No! Your father and I should to be on our honeymoon right now, but instead, I'm in here going over Billy's estate, in case the doctor decides it'd be best for me to pull the plug." she says, nodding her head over her shoulder. "What?" Brandon asks, his expression twisting in confusion. "How can you possibly make that decision? You two never got married. I'm his son!" Brandon reminds her. "And I'm his beneficiary." Laurel smirks, triumphantly one-upping Brandon. "Now, I have a lot of paperwork to go over, so please, excuse me... or I'll be forced to have security excuse you." she warns him. Laurel then turns, slamming the door in his face. Shooken, Brandon gasps. He turns to leave, but in doing so, he bumps into someone standing behind him. The camera pulls back, and then pans up, revealing Mil Muertes. Brandon's eyes widen in horror, but before he can react, Mil grabs him by the nape of his neck and throws him against the hospital wall. Mil then grabs the back of Brandon's jacket and slings him backwards into a gurney; both it and Brandon toppling to the floor. Two security guards rush over, demanding to know what Mil thinks he's doing. He lays the nearest one out with a right hand, and then has a stare down with the second. Mil takes an intimidating step forward, and the security guard turns and runs back in the direction he came from. With Brandon writhing on the tiled hospital floor, the nurse from before steps forward. She removes her bouffant cap and surgical mask, revealing herself to be Catrina, and produces a bag of blood from her pocket. Catrina holds the bag over Brandon and squeezes it like a heart, dripping blood all over him. He coughs in disgust and tries to wipe the blood from his face, but Mil stops him with a stomp. Catrina then kneels down and grabs a fistful of Brandon's hair, yanking his head off of the ground. "This is just a taste," she says, pausing to lick some of the blood off of his cheek. "Of the fate that awaits you." Catrina smirks, shoving Brandon to the floor. Mil helps her up and the two of them of them stroll to a nearby exit, leaving a crime scene in their wake. They exit through a pair of double doors, but before they leave for good, we get a shot of Mil looking down at Brandon through the glass, before fading back to the arena.

It is announced that on this Sunday’s Bragging Rights kick-off show Chris Jericho will host a very special Highlight Reel with guest, FNBF General Manager, Dixie Carter!

The stakes couldn’t be much higher in our main event as EC3 faces Byron Saxton and Tom Phillips in a handicap match with Byron, Tom AND Corey Graves’ jobs all on the line. Corey has been invited to attend and takes a seat at ringside. However, if he interferes the match will automatically be ruled in favour of EC3. Byron and Tom make their way to the ring, terrified and looking very much not like wrestlers in t-shirts and track pants. EC3 and Tiffany enter next to loud boos. They look like they’re going to enjoy this. The bell rings and the announcers are told that only one of them is eligible in the ring at a time and they have to tag in and out. Byron is the unlucky one who starts. EC3 offers him a test of strength and intentionally lets Byron get the better of him at first before bursting out in laughter and throwing him hard into the corner. He tells him to tag in Tom which he does. He offers Tom a test of strength too but Tom weakly slaps him. The crowd cheers until EC3 almost takes poor Tom’s head off with a clothesline. He throws him into Byron on the apron and the ref takes it as a tag. He lifts Byron in the air and hangs him there for 20 seconds before dropping him with a suplex. He goes for a cover but pulls Byron up before the ref can count 3. He throws Byron out the ring then distracts the ref while Tiffany rakes Byron’s eyes. The ref turns around and is suspicious of Tiffany. While he’s warning her not to get involved, EC3 kicks Tom in the balls and he falls off the apron. There may be no more face-fucking in the near future. Mr. Carter patiently waits and lets Byron crawl back into the ring. The fans chant, “let’s go Byron!” The encouragement isn’t enough to stop this massacre though. EC3 drags him up and hits the One Percenter. But oh no! As he throws Byron’s head back delivering the move, Byron’s head inadvertently cracks the referee. EC3 doesn’t seem to worry about the ref being taken out though and in fact sees it as an opportunity to continue the beating. He picks Byron back up for another One Percenter but Roman Reigns’ music hits! The building almost explodes as The Big Dog arrives. EC3 is shook and Tiffany grabs a mic and runs into the ring. “Don’t take another step towards this ring. You have been WARNED.” Roman smirks and enters the ring anyway. He stands across from EC3 and dares him to do something. EC3 pleads with him before blindsiding him with a quick right hand. EC3 kicks and punches at Roman then goes for the One Percenter but Roman pushes him off the ropes and goes for the Spear but EC3 dives out the way and Tiffany takes the move instead! The fans are cheering like crazy as EC3 has a look on his face like he knows he done fucked up. He slowly gets back to his feet only to be dropped by a Spear! Roman throws Byron on top of EC3 and awakens the ref before leaving the ring. 1…2…3! Byron and Tom keep their jobs and Corey Graves is re-hired! Corey runs into the ring and celebrates with his broadcast colleagues. “So do I have to look for another job now or what?”, Kevin Owens asks. Corey, Byron and Tom exit to massive cheers and there is a jovial feeling in the air. Roman stands at the top of the ramp and tells EC3 he’ll see him on Sunday. EC3 is screaming that Roman will regret this as he picks Tiffany up and carries her to the back.

Roman Reigns is walking backstage with a big smile on his face after what just went down until he is surrounded in the corridor by FNBF wrestlers, including the likes of Rusev, Baron Corbin, Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, Breezango, American Alpha, Chris Jericho and Tony Nese. They aim straight for The Big Dog. Roman tries to fight back but he is quickly beaten to the ground. Summer Rae’s voice is heard in the distance. “Now!” Some of the NFA stars we saw arrive to the arena earlier tonight are here to even the odds! They get stuck into the FNBF squad and an all-out brawl erupts through the arena. Breezango take time out and attempt to write a ticket for The New Day but the former NFA Tag Team Champions beat down the current FNBF champs 3-on-2. Nia Jax drops Bayley with a Samoan drop to the unforgiving floor. Things eventually spill out to the parking lot. Rusev and Baron Corbin batter away at Neville until Roman nails Rusev with a huge spear into a car door! Things aren’t over by a long shot but we’re out of time! FNBF and NFA are still going at it in the parking lot as the show fades to black. Who will claim the Bragging Rights on Sunday?!

[Jayzero]

Limo's for everyone? Summer has no idea how to handle the budget. I'd have made them all walk.

I was half expecting Burke to get in and become the new Pope on some Eurotrip shit.

I can't believe it took you this long to fire Lilian.

I need someone to call Roman a lil pussy irl.

So Tarry likes to hit chicks from behind with his royal scepter, huh?

Good job, Pentagon. Good job.

Good job, Miz. Good job.

Not room 69... It's okay, B, I'm sure it's just corn syrup. Who knew Catrina went to medical school tho?

The long awaited rematch:


Ending on a massive parking lot brawl was great, I'm excited I jumped back in just in time for Bragging Rights.

[Tarry]

What is Summer Rae doing blowing NFA's budget on limos? It would have been cheaper to hire a bus. Damn, with this and and Ronda Rousey's contract, there can't be much money left 💀

I'm so glad you've been writing Catrina, Mil Muertes, and Finn Bálor the same way I would. I'm sure Jason doesn't need to be hypnotised into joining Finn's side. I wonder if Finn Bálor will be leaving with two prizes at Bragging Rights?

Paige being weirded out by Ellsworth barking like she wasn't playing the role of The Undertaker's undead daughter just a few months ago 💀I can't believe Emma's stop/start push is set to go again and then a few days later she's released by WWE, why do these things happen to you? 😂

Father William should hijack the Pope Mobile and start riding it to the ring, that would be amazing. I hope The Pope finds out about his security not letting the good Father in to see him and decides to make a trip to FNBF to make it up to him.

I'm impressed that you managed to have Lilian written off in a way that was only a minor embarrassment. You had Pentagon Jr. in the building, I hope it never crossed your mind to have him involved in her exit.

I'm sure Ember is glad to have The Iconic Duo around, who knows, maybe we're witnessing the formation of The Iconic Trio?

King Tarry has threatened Reby Hardy, Summer Rae, and Cathy Kelley with the sceptre in the past, and now he's actually hit Charlotte with it! That man is a monster! But damn right King Tarry is going to fight dirty, it's a Royal Brawl! I hope Charlotte has studied the last two Royal Brawls on the BPW Network.

Isn't a partially dislocated shoulder still dislocated? It's not where it's supposed to be.

I can't believe you booked an even match between Big Cass and John Cena, I thought we had an agreement that Cass would be squashed? After Pentagon Jr. hit the Fear Factor, Cena's probably been icing his neck all weekend to be ready in time for Bragging Rights.

The Miz might actually have The Man's number this Sunday! What happens if he brings the NFA World Heavyweight Championship to FNBF? 

Holy shit! That whole segment turning from a soap opera into a straight up horror film was incredible. That was one of my favourite segments ever written for BPW. Thank you for writing Mil Muertes and Catrina as the absolute monsters I want them to come across as ... B.

I can't believe EC3 lost to Byron Saxton and Tom Phillips just days before he takes on Roman Reigns at Bragging Rights. I should have had Spud beat him too, to be honest.

The parking lot brawl was great. I wonder who'll come out with Bragging Rights tonight.

[Burke]

I'm clearly not as knowledgeable about medical issues as I am with legal matters.

    Thank you for joining us for the Bragging Rights Kick Off Show! Tonight's show is hosted by NFA's Cathy Kelley and FNBF's McKenzie Mitchell. They're joined by Rob Van Dam from NFA, Tony Nese from FNBF, and BPW Legend, Booker T. The panel debate tonight's matches, with Cathy and RVD rooting for NFA, obviously, and McKenzie and Nese backing FNBF, who'd have guessed? Booker T tries to remain impartial, claiming that he hopes tonight's series ends in a draw. The other members of the panel try to explain that a draw isn't possible in a Best of 7 Series, but Booker is adamant about his desire for a draw. Tony Nese whips his shirt off and gives Booker a maths lesson by counting his abs. "There are seven matches in the Best of 7 Series - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 - which means the first show to win four matches wins Bragging Rights - 1, 2, 3, 4 - do you get it now?" Cathy and McKenzie fan themselves, and Rob Van Dam also can't help but be impressed, but Booker T tells Tony to, "Put your damn shirt back on, boy!"

    We head down to the ring for our first match of the evening, and this one is for the NFA Tag Team Championships! "My name is Enzo Amore, and I'm a certified G, and a bonafide stud, and you can't teach that!" the annoying half of the defending champs exclaims, "And this right here, this is Kane, and he's the Big Red Pimp Daddy, and you can't teach that! BADA BOOM, REALEST GUYS IN THE ROOM! How you doin'?!" The NFA Tag Team Champions make their way to the ring as a unit for the very first time, hoping to retain their championships here tonight. "The tag team division has been getting rowdy like an overcrowded nightclub," Enzo says, continuing his spiel, "Well it's kicking out time, fellas, and you're looking at the Certified G Security that's going to throw each and every last one of you out of this club tonight!" "Aaaawwww, Bragging Rights! Don't you dare be sour! Clap for your next tag team champs, and feel the POWAH! It's a New Day, yes it is!" Big E and Kofi Kingston make their way to the ring with Xavier Woods by their side. We cut to a brief commercial for tonight's sponsors - Smith & Knight LLP, child custody specialists - what better way to earn Bragging Rights than getting custody of the kids after a nasty divorce? We return to the arena to find a jam-packed ring. Támi are just completing their entrance, as they finally share a hug! Yeah, that's a storyline that was forgotten about. Out next is the team of Roderick Strong & Jace-Hero, who receive a mixed reaction from tonight's audience. And finally, psychedelic music hits the speakers, signalling the arrival of The Authors of Pain. The bell rings and here we go! The Worldwide Underground and The Guerrillas of Destiny find themselves eliminated early on by The Authors of Pain. Enzo Amore tries to dive onto Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne, but they catch him and dump him to the outside! We're guaranteed new champions! Kane exits the ring and grabs Enzo by the throat, driving him down onto the entrance ramp before leaving in frustration. Tiarnán delivers a Superkick to Jace-Hero, which knocks him into Roderick Strong who is teetering on the ropes, knocking him out of the ring! Strong & Hero are out! The Dashing Ones attack Tiarnán and Sami Zayn from behind, opportunistically eliminating them from the match. The remaining teams gang up on The Authors of Pain, but it's to no avail, as The Usos get tossed from the ring. Brandi Rhodes hops up onto the ring apron, trying to cause a distraction that will help out her team, but Xavier Woods follows her and blows Francesca 3.0 right in her face! Cody Rhodes knocks Woods off of the apron, but this allows Tyler Bate to shove him out of the ring! We're down to The Authors of Pain, The New Day, and British Strong Style, which one of these teams will leave with the NFA Tag Team Championships? Pete Dunne viciously headbutts Akam, rocking the bigger man. Tyler Bate then connects with an uppercut! Akam falls backwards onto the ropes! Kofi Kingston and Tyler Bate set up for a double running dropkick, but Rezar intercepts with a double clothesline! Rezar is attacked from behind by Big E and Pete Dunne, but Akam recovers and saves his partner! They grab hold of Pete Dunne and lift him high above their heads, launching him out of the ring to the outside! Damn it, so close but so far for British Strong Style! Paul London yells for The Authors of Pain to finish this, and that's exactly what they intend to do, as they set The New Day up for the Super Collider! Akam and Rezar have Kofi and Big E up in the Powerbomb position, but wait, Kofi counters into a hurricanrana! Rezar takes a spill to the outside! It's over! The New Day are NFA Tag Team Champions! Akam tries to Powerbomb Big E as a consolation prize, but Xavier Woods rushes in and hits Akam in the stomach with Francesca 3.0! Big E falls to safety, but he's quickly back to his feet, scooping Akam up to solidify their win with the Big Ending! The New Day stand tall as they celebrate their second NFA Tag Team Championship win with a traditional dance party.

    It’s time for the FNBF portion of tonight’s Kick Off Show and Byron Saxton and Tom Phillips welcome back Corey Graves to the announce table. Corey says it’s great to be back and he doesn’t know how he can ever repay them for saving his job. Mike Rome then introduces Tye Dillinger and Baron Corbin, who are set to go 1-on-1. Tye is nowhere near 100% though following the beating he took from The Man this week on NFA and this is a mis-match from the word go. Tye fights bravely but eventually falls victim to the End of Days. Corbin looks proud of his victory, apparently having no qualms about beating an injured man.

    Next up is the NFA Women's Intercontinental Championship match! The challenger, Taya, is out first sporting a nasty scratch on her cheek as a result of the attempted assault on 2Pawz this past week on NFA. She's accompanied by her fiancée, Johnny Mundo, the man who just suffered the most embarrassing loss of his entire career. Next out is the reigning and defending NFA Women's Intercontinental Champion, Natalya, and she makes her way to the ring with 2Pawz and her uncle Bret Hart by her side! The bell rings and Natalya instantly targets the scratch on Taya's face by delivering a hard slap to her cheek! Taya is enraged and tackles Natalya to the ground, trying to scratch at her eyes. Natalya kicks Taya away. She climbs back to her feet and drops Taya with a huge clothesline! Nattie goes for the Sharpshooter early, but Taya crawls to the bottom rope and pulls herself out of the ring. Bret Hart walks around the corner of the ring to warn Johnny Mundo not to interfere, but the referee exits the ring and tells Bret Hart to get back to his own corner. Taya rolls back into the ring as Natalya hits the ropes, but with the referee preoccupied on the outside, Johnny Mundo takes the opportunity to trip Natalya! Bret Hart is furious and he pushes the referee to one side, making a beeline for Johnny Mundo. The Hitman strikes Mundo in the jaw! The referee climbs back to his feet and ejects Bret Hart from ringside! Taya takes control of the match, smashing Natalya's head off of the canvas several times. She drags her to her feet and throws her into the ringpost shoulder first. Taya sets up for the Northern Lights Suplex, but Natalya telegraphs it and counters in a backslide! Taya kicks out due to Natalya not having the shoulder strength. Taya delivers a stiff kick to the shoulder of Nattie, following up with a shoulder breaker. Taya makes the cover, but the champ kicks out! Taya backs into a corner and charges at Natalya, but Nattie uses her momentum to scoop her up into a Powerslam! Natalya connects with the move and calls for the Sharpshooter! Johnny Mundo rushes around to the entranceway, snatching 2Pawz off of his podium. Mundo threatens to Piledrive Natalya's feline companion, stopping the champ dead in her tracks. She tries to exit the ring to put a stop to Johnny Mundo, but Taya grabs her from behind with a roll-up! 1 ... 2 ... 3! Taya wins! Johnny Mundo throws 2Pawz on the ground and embraces his fiancee. The referee hands her the NFA Women's Intercontinental Championship, and the Mayor and Mayoress of Slamtown exit the ringside area, heading to the back to celebrate. Natalya checks on 2Pawz as the BPW Universe boos the result of the match.

    Chris Jericho is here and welcomes us to The Highlight Reel! He introduces his special guest this evening: the General Manager of FNBF, Dixie Carter! Y2J says she must be excited. This is her first PPV as the GM. Dixie says it’s going to be an amazing night and hopes that FNBF can pull off the win in the Bragging Rights series against NFA. She also wishes her nephew EC3 luck in his match with Roman Reigns. Jericho asks about the recent firing/releasing spree on Friday nights that has seen the likes of Lilian Garcia, Austin Aries, Brian Kendrick and Corey Graves depart (although Corey has since returned). He jokes that he hopes his job is safe. “Aww, don’t you worry your pretty little head, sweetie.” Dixie says it’s unfortunate but running a company isn’t easy and tough decisions have to be made. Y2J suggests that they weren’t her decisions though. Tiffany and EC3 are the ones running things and they’re using her as a puppet. Dixie stutters and fumbles until her phone beeps. “Sorry Chris, we’re out of time! The PPV is about to start! Thanks for having me!” Dixie exits as a bewildered Y2J looks on.

    Cathy Kelley and McKenzie Mitchell thank us for joining them for the Kick Off Show before plugging tonight's Bragging Rights show one last time - up next LIVE on the BPW Network!

    Bragging Rights begins with a video package that recaps the past few weeks of NFA and FNBF, highlighting the interpromotional feuds between the two brands. The package ends with the words - Supremacy. Domination. Bragging Rights. - perfectly summing up what tonight is all about.

    It's time for our first match of the evening - the 6 Woman Elimination Tag Team match! The co-holders of the FNBF Women's Championship, The Iconic Duo, make their way to the ring with Ember Moon. The FNBF team are all wearing blue, showing team solidarity. Out next is the NFA team, Becky Lynch, Naomi, and Alexa Bliss, who, you guessed it, are all wearing red. Ember Moon starts the match with Naomi, with the two women going all out trying to get their brand the early advantage in tonight's Best of 7 Series. The two women go back-and-forth, exchanging similar moves, proving to one another that they're equally matched. Naomi goes for a clothesline, but Ember counters with a discus elbow smash! Ember drags Naomi to the corner and tags in Peyton Royce! Peyton teases hitting Naomi with a big move, but she instead leaves the ring and heads to the back, much to everyone's confusion. The referee counts her out, and all of a sudden we're down to 3-on-2. Billie Kay tells Ember not to worry, and that she'll take it from here. Billie enters the ring and goes to lock up with Naomi, but it's a fake out, as she dodges Naomi and exits the ring, joining her partner in the back. The referee has no choice but to count Billie out, putting in the FNBF team in an extremely difficult position as this match becomes 3-on-1. Ember Moon, pissed off with her teammates, re-enters the ring and drops Naomi with a huge dropkick! Ember quickly ascends to the top and dives off, connecting with the Eclipse out of nowhere! Ember makes the cover and gets the pin, scoring the elimination to make it 2-on-1. Becky Lynch, the #1 Contender to the NFA Women's Championship is in next, and she takes it to Ember! She unloads with a flurry of forearms, stopping only to yell out, "Straight fiya!" That pause may cost her though, as Ember Moon sweeps Becky's leg and gains the high ground. Ember stomps on Becky's midsection before dropping an elbow onto her chest. Becky starts sit up, but she's knocked straight back down by a running forearm! Ember makes the cover, but Becky Lynch kicks out! Ember Moon goes up top to deliver Eclipse once again, but Becky catches her in midair with the Bex-Ploder! Becky makes the cover, but Ember miraculously gets the shoulder up! Becky targets the arm and applies the Dis-Arm-Her, really wrenching back on Ember Moon's arm. Ember's gonna tap, there's no way she can last for long in this hold! Ember grabs the back of Becky Lynch's tights, pulling her over into a roll up. Ember shifts all of her weight on top of Becky, pinning her shoulders to the mat to score another elimination! It's now 1-on-1! Alexa Bliss quickly enters the ring and spins Ember Moon around, dropping her with the Snap DDT! Alexa makes the cover for the 1 ... 2 ... 3! Alexa Bliss wins it for NFA, but there's no doubt in anyone's mind that Ember Moon comes away from that match with some Bragging Rights of her own.

    There may be no titles on the line but it’s champion vs. champion as FNBF Television Champion John Cena battles NFA Zero Limits Champion Pentagon Jr. This is hard-hitting from the outset and the crowd are super into the action. Pentagon dominates Cena for a while until the leader of the CeNation fights back with a belly-to-back suplex and then the Throwback. He goes for a top rope legdrop but Pentagon side steps it. Pentagon drops Cena with a wicked lariat then hits the Pentagon Driver. 1…2…Cena kicks out! Pentagon lifts Cena up and drops him head first onto the turnbuckle. He then drags him to the centre of the ring and throws him into the ringpost. Cena falls out of the ring and Pentagon follows. Pentagon grabs the ring-bell and the referee tells him he’ll be disqualified if he uses it. He doesn’t look like he’s taking that warning too seriously though and winds up to nail Cena with it but The Champ kicks him in the gut and DDT’s him on the floor. Cena looks at the crowd then looks at the announce table. They cheer, knowing what’s next. He lifts Pentagon up and gives him an Attitude Adjustment through the announce table! He throws him back in the ring and goes for the pin but Pentagon kicks out! Cena hits an Emerald Flowsion then drops the ole Five Knuckle Shuffle before calling for another AA. Pentagon headbutts him though as he goes to lift him. Both men appear to be busted open from that as the bloodthirsty crowd chant this is awesome. Pentagon hits the Fear Factor and this is surely over now but Cena’s foot is on the rope! The ref stops the count. Pentagon goes for another Fear Factor but Cena slips out and hits the AA! He doesn’t have the energy to make the cover though. Both men get back up at the same time. Pentagon swings but Cena brings him to the ground with a drop-toe-hold then applies the STF! Cena has the hold locked in for well over a minute but Pentagon refuses to tap and eventually reaches the ropes. Cena pulls him away from the ropes and re-applies the hold but Pentagon somehow steps up out of it! Cena’s jaw is wide open in shock. He AGAIN drives Pentagon to the mat and applies the STF. Pentagon appears to be losing consciousness. The ref lifts his arm 3 times. It falls twice but he manages to stop it falling for a third time. This calls for desperate measures. Cena rams Pentagon into the turnbuckle, lifts him onto the top rope and hits a Super AA! 1…2…3! Cena has FINALLY put Pentagon away. An exhausted Cena celebrates what has to be one of the hardest fought victories of his career.

    It's now time for the Royal Brawl III: Bend the Knee! As with past Royal Brawl matches, all royal based weaponry is legal, however to win this instalment in the series, you must make your opponent give up by bending the knee! The Royal Band begins to play, signalling the arrival of the King of NFA, King Tarry! King Tarry makes his way to the ring on the back of the whitest the stallion I've ever laid eyes on. King Tarry dismounts and enters the ring. King Tarry is wearing a huge purple cloak, much bigger, and quite frankly, finer than any he's ever worn before. Queen Charlotte's music hits the speakers, and oh my, she's making a royal entrance of her own! Charlotte is sitting on a throne which is on a platform being carried by men dressed as Roman soldiers. The BPW Universe seem to find Charlotte's entrance much more impressive than the King's. The King of NFA and the Queen of FNBF stand face to face in the centre of the ring as the royally appointed referee goes over the rules. The royal gong signifies the start of the match, and here we go! Charlotte unloads on King Tarry with chops, backing him into a corner where she continues to chop at him. King Tarry smirks at her, as it becomes apparent that the chops aren't inflicting any damage. King Tarry unclasps his cloak and drops it to the floor - gasp - he's wearing a Royal Chest Protector!

However, as he stands up, he's taken out with an air strike by Charlotte, who connects with the Corkscrew Moonsault from the top! Charlotte looks under the ring and discovers a cannon!

    It’s the face of NFA vs. the face of FNBF as Roman Reigns and EC3 literally come face to face! Roman enters first and appears to be the crowd favourite here tonight. EC3 and Tiffany are out next to boos and as they make their way towards the ring we are shown a tweet from President Trump earlier today wishing them luck in their big match tonight. Tiffany is favouring her ribs following the Spear she took two nights ago and EC3 is also pissed after the embarrassing loss he suffered to Byron Saxton and Tom Phillips due to Roman and attacks The Big Dog before the bell. Roman quickly fights back though, pummelling EC3 with multiple corner clotheslines. EC3 reverses an Irish whip and drops Roman with a flapjack. He hits a Russian legsweep then applies a camel clutch but Roman powers out and hits a tilt-a-whirl slam. He motions for the Superman Punch but Tiffany grabs his foot. The distraction allows EC3 to dropkick him into the corner before nailing him with a double high knee. He delivers a German suplex which Roman kicks out of at 2. Roman battles back with a Samoan drop and a drive-by kick. RR shows his strength and hits a deadlift sitout powerbomb. 1…2…EC3 is out at 2.99! Tiffany grabs a chair from under the ring and slides it in the ring right in front of the referee. He picks it up and disposes it. While his back is turned Tiffany throws something to EC3. Those are brass knuckles! EC3 cracks Roman in the face with them and goes for the pin. 1…2…The Big Dog isn’t done yet! An intense EC3 hits a corkscrew neckbreaker then says it’s over. He goes for the One Percenter but Roman pushes him off and then hits a Superman Punch! He calls for the Spear. Tiffany is screaming at EC3 not to get up. He does though and Roman charges but EC3 leapfrogs the Spear and Roman runs right into the ring-post. EC3 drags him up and hits the One Percenter. This one’s over. 1…2…Roman kicks out again! EC3 and Tiffany are raging. Tiffany slides in the ring and low blows the referee! She joins in with EC3 as they stomp away at Roman, but wait, here comes NFA's General Manager, Summer Rae, to even the odds! Summer grabs Tiffany by the hair and drags her out of the ring! The two women engage in a vicious, Attitude Era-esque cat fight! EC3 turns his attention back to Reigns, but he's interrupted by the sound of, "Here comes the money!" Wait, what the hell. Oh my God, it’s Shane McMahon! The former FNBF General Manager hasn’t been since in months since he was brutally attacked by EC3. He comes out onto the stage in a wheelchair. EC3 and Tiffany are completely shook by his presence. Tiffany runs to the announce table and grabs Corey Graves’ headset, yelling into it for someone to get out here and eject Shane from the building. EC3 hasn’t taken his eyes off Shane yet but eventually turns around and eats a Spear! A second referee runs down the ramp as Roman makes the cover. 1…2…3! Tiffany’s head is in her hands at ringside as The Big Dog triumphs. Shane smirks and wheels himself backstage. EC3 and Tiffany are beyond livid and quickly make their way to the back also as Roman celebrates his huge win. Tonight he is the face of BPW!

    It's time for the Last Man Standing match! This one isn't going to be for the feint of heart. Brandon makes his way to the ring first to represent FNBF in this mismatched contest. Out next is NFA's resident monster, Mil Muertes, and he's accompanied as always by the beautiful and deadly, Catrina. Brandon starts the match by attempting the crossbody to the outside, but Mil Muertes snatches him in midair and rams him back first into the ring post! Muertes grabs Brandon and flings him into the barricade like a rag doll! The referee begins to count, but Brandon is up! Mil Muertes throws a punch, but Brandon blocks his ham-fist and strikes with a punch of his own! Brandon unloads on Mil Muertes with a series of striking combinations, unleashing all the anger that has built up inside of him in recent months! Brandon attempts a neckbreaker, but Mil Muertes counters and drops him with The Flatliner on the hard floor! Mil Muertes re-enters the ring to celebrate prematurely, but American Alpha make their way down the ramp! They try to attack Mil Muertes, but the Man of a Thousand Deaths swats them away like flies. Brandon miraculously gets back to his feet before the count of 10 and begins to head up the ramp. Mil Muertes tries to pursue him, but The Hype Bros and Noam Dar rush down to the ring armed with steel chairs! They swing them at Mil Muertes, but Mil blocks everyone one of them by punching the chairs into their faces. Mil once again goes to follow, but Alicia Fox slides into the ring and delivers a low blow from behind! Mil Muertes shakes it off and grabs her by the throat!

Brandon and The Revival band together to push a large speaker off of the stage, sending it crashing down on top of Mil Muertes! Oh my god! The referee counts to 10 and declares Brandon the unlikely winner! Catrina bends over the side to check on Mil Muertes. Brandon licks the palm of his hand and delivers the Weapon of Ass Destruction to Catrina! Catrina grabs her ass cheek and looks over her shoulder, glaring at Brandon. Brandon and The Revival back away, not wanting to anger Catrina any further.

    The NFA World Heavyweight Championship is on the line in this next match! FNBF's The Miz makes his way to the ring alone, having advised his wife, and mother of his unborn child, Maryse, to stay in the back for this one. The undefeated NFA World Heavyweight Champion, The Man, is out next and he has a steel chair in hand. The Man places the steel chair in the centre of the ring and tells the referee to be lenient if The Miz chooses to use it. I don't think that's wise. The Miz grabs the chair as the formal introductions get underway. The bell finally rings and here we go! The Miz swings the steel chair, but The Man grabs it to block it. He snatches it out of The Miz's hands and crumples it up into a ball! What in the World('s Strongest Man)? The Miz seems to have a change of heart and tries to escape the ring, but The Man pulls him in and delivers a Back Suplex. The Man then follows up with a Running Senton! The Man makes the cover, but The Miz kicks out! The Man drags The Miz back to his feet, but Miz strikes first by kicking out The Man's knee! The Miz connects with the Mizard of Oz out of nowhere! We haven't seen that move in years! The Miz makes the cover, but The Man kicks out! The Miz exits the ring and grabs a steel chair from ringside. He slides into the ring and begins to unload on the back of The Man with the chair. Welts instantly appear as The Miz shows no mercy. The Miz finally makes the cover, but The Man is somehow able to get the shoulder up! The Miz does something uncharacteristic by going up to the top rope. He leaps off, but The Man catches him and drives him down with the World's Strongest Slam! The Man makes the cover, but The Miz gets his foot on the bottom rope! Just stay down Miz, there's no shame in becoming part of the streak. The Man now goes up top. He jumps from the top rope for the World's Strongest Splash, but there's nobody home! The Man starts to get back to his feet, but The Miz drops him with the Reality Check! Miz is dusting off all the classics here tonight! The Miz makes the cover, but once again, The Man kicks out! The Miz positions the steel chair in the centre of the ring as he calls for the Skull Crushing Finale. I believe that if he hits this, it'll all be over! The Miz hooks it, but The Man grabs Miz's hair and flips him over head! The Man hooks The Miz and slams him onto the chair with a Full Nelson Bomb! It can be argued that The Man should be disqualified for using the chair, but I do not believe that it was intentional. Still, The Man makes the cover, but somehow, SOMEHOW, The Miz kicks out! The Man can't believe it! The Man drags The Miz back to his feet and pulls the trigger by delivering the Death Valley Driver! The Man finally puts The Miz away, scoring his 48th victory to tie the Best of 7 Series at 3-3.

    The Man makes his way through the curtain where he's immediately met by Cathy Kelley, who wants to conduct an impromptu interview. "You've seemingly run through the entire NFA roster, and it's a fact that you've defeated some of the biggest FNBF stars in the past, so I just have one question ... Who's next?" The Man briefly smirks at Cathy beforehand look of seriousness appears on his face, "Goldberg." The NFA World Heavyweight Champion walks away from a shocked Cathy Kelley as the BPW Universe in the arena start chanting Goldberg's name.

    It all comes down to this. With NFA and FNBF tied 3-3 for the evening our final bout is for the FNBF Universal Championship. Out first is the challenger, Finn Bálor, accompanied by Catrina, who is sporting a bandage around her lower half following the earlier assault on her tuchus. The reigning champion Seth Rollins enters next alongside Jason, who Catrina has been trying to manipulate in recent weeks. There are duelling chants from the crowd as the match gets under way. Bálor is in control for much of the early going. Both men put their bodies on the line with suicide dives. As we pass the halfway mark the match really kicks into high gear. Bálor drops Rollins with a Pelé kick and a sling blade before going up top. He goes for the Coup de Grâce but Rollins crotches him on the top rope before delivering a huge superplex which he immediately turns into a falcon arrow. 1…2…Finn kicks out! Rollins hits a springboard clothesline and climbs to the top rope. Bálor nails him with an enzuigiri on the top turnbuckle and Rollins crashes to the floor. He then hits a brainbuster for another near-fall. Getting frustrated, he throws Rollins to the outside. He lifts Rollins up but he slips out and brings him to his knees with a superkick to the midsection. Rollins then hits a nasty looking powerbomb into the barricade. He slowly throws Bálor back into the ring and covers but Finn just manages to kick out. Rollins hits another vicious powerbomb, this time into the turnbuckle. He goes up top and Catrina steps up onto the apron. The ref quickly orders her back down but the distraction gives Balor time to recover and he manages to evade a Phoenix splash. With Rollins hurting, Bálor picks him up then drops him with the 1916. 1…2…Seth kicks out! Both men struggle to their feet and the crowd are on fire. They exchange chops until Rollins drops Bálor with a high knee that almost breaks his nose. He then goes up top and connects with a frog splash but Bálor kicks out! Rollins is also starting to wonder what it’ll take to end this match but then sets up for the Curb Stomp. Catrina steps up onto the apron again. As the ref approaches her he suddenly stops and stands completely still, almost in a comatose like state. Corey Graves points out that it’s almost like he’s been hypnotized by Catrina. Jason has seen enough and enters the ring. Catrina gives him the creepy look with her eyes too. She tells him to get the Universal Championship belt, which he does. Back in the ring, Catrina tells Jason now is the time. Rollins is standing there confused and Bálor has made his way back to his feet. Jason looks at them both. What is he going to do? He snaps out of it and nails Bálor with the belt! He then awakens the ref from his altered state and escorts an enraged Catrina from the ring. Rollins hits the Curb Stomp as the ref makes the count. 1…2…3! The Universal Championship is staying on Friday nights! Catrina is furious and leads Bálor to the back as Rollins and Jason celebrate. They are then joined by most of the FNBF roster. They have won the Bragging Rights 4-3! Rollins is lifted in the air by some of his colleagues. The celebration is now coming to a close and Rollins and Jason are sitting on the announce table, taking in this huge victory. Wait a second! Kevin Owens pushes Jason over the table then cheapshots Rollins. He powerbombs Seth onto the ring apron! Jason runs over to check on Seth. Owens rips off his FNBF shirt and there is an NFA one underneath! The crowd is buzzing with shock! Matt Striker and Nigel McGuinness rub Owens' defection in the faces of Corey Graves, Tom Phillips, and Byron Saxton, whilst the FNBF roster are simply looking on stunned as the PPV comes to a close.

FNBF:

All of those flops getting limos when a single short bus would have sufficed.

I liked Seth's promo about not beliving in monsters, witches, or demons since it's spoopy season. Though, I'm sure you wrote this about three weeks ago and didn't put any thought into it being so close to Halloween, so I can't give you too much credit.

Picturing Paige doing a double take @ Ellsworth barking. 💀 The way I could picture Emma coming out and posing and slowly taking off her aviators for an awkward length of time before Dana attacked. Sis might've even climbed on top of the announce table.

Father William is straight out of Arrested Development.

The way you wrote Lilian out in a way that actually made perfect sense, but let Tiffany look like a total heel. 💀 Sometimes I'm like, God, wtf is he doing, and other times I'm so impressed. Whenever you really nail the writing, it's like when Maria started spitting legal jargon.

Wow, y'all really didn't have all six women brawl before Bragging Rights, I can't fuckin stand y'all. In fact both teams showed up to their opponents' shows this week, and instead of doing anything they just pointed and laughed like, "gotcha." 💀 And y'all certainly got me both times, because I was ready for them to throw hands.

How awkward for McKenzie to interview EC3, a once again engaged man, when we all know their characters have smashed. I loved his promo, though.

I've typically never been a fan of intergender wrestling, but I have no problem finding Charlotte to be a believable opponent for King Tarry lol.

Isn't a partially dislocated shoulder still dislocated? It's not where it's supposed to be.

A partially dislocated shoulder is half in, half out, and a dislocated shoulder has popped all the way out. Y'all need to take a class.

*rapidly scrolls past Cena vs. Big Cass*

I always chuckle when I recognize certain writing tactics. For example, you clearly didn't know what to have The Miz talk about, so you had The Man cut him off before he could speak lol. I hope you have The Miz announce that he's auctioning that chair off on BPWShop.com at Bragging Rights to have him heel it up and keep his personality instead of just being some suddenly and randomly violent, chair-wielding maniac, but who am I kidding?

If I read the name Chris Jericho one more time...



Tom slapping EC3, yasss mama. Get that pop. OMG! I can't believe you had Roman accidentally spear Tiffany! I thought that'd at least be saved for the PPV lol, so I was shocked as if it were happening live.

I was going to give myself a quick break before jumping into Bragging Rights, but after that ending, I'm getting started on it ASAP!

[Burke]

I'm so proud. The FNBF stars fought like warriors all night long. Well, except Peyton and Billie.

The series could have ended in a draw if one of the matches ended in a double count-out. Booker was right!

I've enjoyed Kane and Enzo as a team way more than I realised I would. I wonder if they'll stay together after losing the titles.

PETA are going to be on your ass about all this attempted 2Pawz battery.

Ember steals the show but loses again. Will she ever win the big one?

What's the difference between a Royal Chest Protector and a regular chest protector? The Royal Brawl was wild. I lost it at the cannon especially. These matches would immediately become cult hits like that Hardy final deletion match.

I need to give Catrina some tips on how to sell the Weapon of Ass Destruction. I'm always dead after taking one. Poor Billy in his coma not even able to watch as his son pulls off the biggest upset of his career.

I'm here for The Man vs. Goldberg. Calling out Bill like that might come back to bite him on the ass.

KO trying to do his dramatic reveal at the end of the show:
