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

You know, he gave me the option to have Pentagon Jr. break his arm this past week on NFA, but I chose Dolph Ziggler instead. My bad 💀

[Brandon]

Bragging Rights:

Sweet logo. Burke , I heard your dumb fuckin ass asked which show was supposed to be the red and which show was supposed to be the blue. I'ma tell you like I told Renee Young: pay attention to the product; especially since you're writing it. 💀

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!"

Tarry, sweetie, thank you so much for this hilarity. I lost it @ Booker.

A New Day dance party is a great way to kick off the show.

King of gays, Baron Corbin, making strides here on FNBF. I just hope it's in his contract to wrestle in a beanie.

Taya with a scratch on her cheek from 2Paws. 💀 That was an exciting match between her and Natalya. I've loved their feud. And I'm honestly not trying to be shady, I'm just updating the title history as I read, but the women's IC title is honestly lookin more prestegious than the women's title at this point. 💀

Jericho is gonna get fired next if he keeps trying to plant seeds in Dixie's head like that.

Ember looked amazing in that match. I'm sure she'll have a bone to pick with The Iconic Duo this Friday. Alexa doing one move that entire match. 💀 Probably for the best.

How gracious of you, Burke, to let Cena halt the momentum of one of NFA's stars, and not just allowing him to stunt the talent pool of FNBF. He really needs "one of the hardest fought victories of his career" 15 years into it.

GLOW teas @ King Tarry coming out on a horse. asdfghjkl, they really have to win by making their opponent bow. Charlotte bowling King Tarry over with the cannon. 💀

Oh wow, I'm shocked EC3 and Roman aren't main eventing. Trump's wishing them luck. 💀 Tiffany would truly go down as one of the greatest managers of all time. Her throwing in a chair in front of the ref, so she can throw in the real weapon as he's throwing it out. 💀 She's literally the smartest of us all lol. idk why I was picturing Tiffany in a dress, so her low blowing the ref and joining the beatdown on Roman had me screaming. GIF worthy, even. Thank you for including the catfight. Summer snapped.



Tiffany grabbing Graves' headset and shouting orders into it lmfaoooo. This is one of the best matches we've EVER had, y'all really should've had it close the show.

Tonight he is the face of BPW!

Just so we're clear, Roman won tonight because it was best for the storyline of everyone involved and needed to be done to advance The Carters vs. The McMahons. EC3 has been on top for a year now while Roman has been popping in and out of relevance. We all know who the real face of BPW is, and I don't want any confusion due to these results.



Me blocking Mil's punches with double axe handles probably like Candice and Beth, yasss. Alicia, asdfghjkl. "Brandon and The Revival back away, not wanting to anger Catrina any further." Bih, I should've pushed her ass off stage with my foot.

Me when The Man crumbled The Miz's steel chair into a ball:



"What in the World('s Strongest Man)?" Bitch... 💀 Thank you for doing what Burke couldn't, and making The Miz look strong, even as he was losing.

Somewhere out there in this AU, there's someone like Burke who will hype The Man vs. Goldberg from that very promo until it finally happens, and then he'll be genuinely surprised when it lasts two minutes and consists of no actual wrestling.

Dear God, for a second I thought y'all were about to give us Jason vs. Seth: The Re-Up. I was getting ready to cancel my BPW Network subscription.

I guess this means FNBF is the superior brand.



A PPV ending on that kinda note with two people who can't even feud now since they're on different shows asdfghjkl. We're messier than Impact Wrestling sometimes.

[Tarry]

So, I'm finally commenting on the half of Bragging Rights that I didn't write, lol

First of all:

Oct 30, 2017 14:02:35 GMT -5 Burke said:

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

Let me put a stop to this #JusticeForBooker thing. As a BPW Legend and brand ambassador, Booker T damn well knew just how important this night was, so he should have also known that referees were told to act relax with the rules, so that we wouldn't have any double count outs or double DQs, so there.

What's next for Baron Corbin? He just beat a man who has wins over multiple big names in BPW. Will he be the man to finally take the Television Championship from Cena?

Your portrayal of Dixie Carter has been spot on, I'm so glad she's finally part of BPW.

Oct 29, 2017 15:15:08 GMT -5 Tarry said:

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.

Burke, Pentagon Jr. wears a mask, how did anybody know he was busted open? 💀 Cena vs. Pentagon was exactly what I had hoped it would be though. I'm sure Pentagon can bounce back from this loss by doing something sick and twisted in the near future.

It was my idea to have Cena beat Pentagon 💀 In my mind, I thought having Cena having to dig down deep to put away Pentagon Jr. would make Pentagon look good in defeat. I also thought that the person who eventually beats Cena will look even better if Cena had defeated one of NFA's most prominent guys during his TV Champion run. We'll see if pans out that way, lol.

In hindsight, we really should have had EC3 vs. Roman as the main event, lol. Why didn't we? The match was great. For the record though, I added the catfight when I was putting the show together.

Catrina and her procession had a really bad night at Bragging Rights. The last time they had this bad of a showing was at NFA Takes Manhattan. If Catrina had been successful in luring Jason to the darkside, I'm sure she would have kicked him to the curb just seconds after the match, lol.

Kevin Owens made one hell of an impact at the end of the show, but Seth Rollins isn't the kind of guy to just let this sort of thing slide. I'm sure The Architect is already coming up with a plan.

[Tarry]

Tonight's NFA opens cold with Summer Rae having gathered King Tarry, Mil Muertes, Finn Bálor, Catrina, and the NFA Zero Limits Champion, Pentagon Jr., in the back. "You five embarrassed me at Bragging Rights, and for that there has to be consequences," she says, standing her ground against the five of the most unhinged members of the NFA roster, "Mil Muertes and Pentagon Jr., you're the biggest disappointments in my eyes. You two should have swept the floor with your competition, but no, you dropped the ball and cost us Bragging Rights. I have just one punishment in mind for the two of you, and that's having to face each other! Tonight, in the main event, Mil Muertes will take on Pentagon Jr. for the first time in BPW history!" Mil Muertes throws a fit of a rage and storms off, but Pentagon Jr. licks his lip, thirsty for the blood of NFA's monster. "You have made a grave mistake," Catrina warns Summer, "I won't forget this." Catrina walks away, following Mil Muertes. Pentagon then slinks away in the opposite direction. Finn Bálor stares at Summer Rae with his cold eyes, waiting to hear his punishment, but it never comes. "You two," Summer says, inching away from Bálor in discomfort, "Do something to prove you're worthy of still having a job." Finn Bálor leaves the room to follow Catrina and Mil Muertes. King Tarry is now left alone with Summer Rae, "Dear Summer Rae, I find it amusing that you put on a charade in front of those miscreants, I knew you would never dare to commit treason by threatening your King." "Tarry, do something memorable tonight, or you can find a new job." Summer Rae struts away, leaving King Tarry gob smacked by her bluntness.

The undefeated NFA World Heavyweight Champion, The Man, is seen arriving backstage. He's seen being greeted by numerous road agents and talents, and then stops to shake the hand of BPW Legend, Booker T. "Booker T, just the man I wanted to see!" "Haha! What can I do for you, champ?" "I've been doing some research, Booker, and I found out that you're one of the few people to defeat Goldberg back in WCW," The Man says, "And I've been wondering, if you could beat him in his prime, could you beat me in my prime?" "That was a long time ago, Man, I'm retired now." "Booker, I'm not asking for a match, I'm telling you we have a match," The Man says, staring down Booker T, "I'll meet you in the ring."

    After a brief commercial break, we return to find The Man in the ring ready for in-ring action. The music hits the speakers, and here comes Booker T, who is definitely not dressed to compete. The bell sounds and The Man tells the BPW Legend to bring it! Booker T unloads on The Man with lefts and rights, following up with a chop to the neck. Booker looks to hit the Book End, but The Man fights out and crushes him with the World's Strongest Slam! The Man peels Booker off of the mat and drivers him down with the Jackhammer! The Man makes the cover to pick up the easy win. After the match, The Man grabs a microphone from ringside. "Seeing as though my challenge has gone unanswered, I thought I would make a statement to you - Goldberg - and the BPW Board of Directors. If this match doesn't happen, I'll continue to hurt people until it does." The Man drops the microphone as the BPW Universe begin to boo.

Will Ospreay makes his way to the ring for singles action. He's looking a little worse for wear after being RKO'd on a car two weeks ago, and then suffering a gang attack at the hands of the FNBF roster. His opponent is the debuting Jinder Mahal! The match begins with the Modern Day Maharaja getting the upperhand, using his size and strength to his advantage. He whips Ospreay into the buckle and then follows up with a devastating clothesline! Mahal lifts Ospreay up for the Sands of Time, but Ospreay counters with a head scissors! Jinder tries to regain control, but Will Ospreay uses his speed to give him the run around. Jinder finds himself in the path of the OsCutter! Jinder grabs the referee and pushes him into Ospreay, causing the referee to go down. Randy Orton hops the barricade and slides into the ring, dropping Will Ospreay with the RKO! Orton shakes the referee awake as he leaves the ringside area. Jinder Mahal inflicts more damage by driving Will Ospreay to the may with the Khallas to pick up the win. The Modern Day Maharaja celebrates his cheap win until he's interrupted by the sound of the Royal Band. King Tarry makes his way onto the stage with the Royal Microphone in his grasp, "Who the bloody hell do you think you are?" King Tarry asks to a pop from the BPW Universe, "I heard that you're a Maharaja, so I consulted the Royal Search Engine, and I discovered that a Maharaja is essentially a king. So I stand here to accuse you of being a false Maharaja!" Jinder Mahal curses out King Tarry in Punjabi, seemingly warning him of the consequences of interrupting him. "I don't have a clue what you're saying, you insolent peasant!" King Tarry shouts back in defiance, "Now get out of my ring!" Jinder Mahal leaves the ring and heads up the ramp. He stands before King Tarry and says something in Punjabi once again. Jinder Mahal leaves and heads to the back, as King Tarry is shaken by Mahal's intensity.

Roman Reigns is seen walking backstage, sporting a smirk on his face after being triumphant in the clash between the Face of NFA and the Face of FNBF, resulting in him becoming the undisputed Face of BPW. He turns a corner and is caught off guard as a fireball is blown into his face! Finn Bálor and Catrina emerge from around the corner as it becomes obvious what just happened. "What better way to make an impact than to burn the literal face of the company?" Catrina asks, gently brushing her fingers against Bálor's waistline. She leads him away as medical personnel rush to Roman's aid. We'll provide an update on his condition when we have one.

Jessica and Dalton Castle make their grand entrance with The Boys, as they head to the ring to compete in mixed tag team action! I don't have the names of their opponents in my notes, but I assume there's only one couple for them to face. Could we finally be seeing Jessica & Dalton Castle vs. Mike & Maria Kanellis? Apparently not, as Johnny Mundo and the new NFA Women's Intercontinental Champion, Taya, make their way to the ring. Dalton Castle and Johnny Mundo start the match for their team, engaging in a thrilling back and forth contest. Mundo goes for the Flying Chuck, but Castle ducks it! Mundo kips up to his feet and tries to charge at Castle, but Dalton is already charging at him, and as a result, the two men bump heads! They hit the mat, clutching at their skulls. The referee begins a double count as their partners spur them on to make the tag. They manage to crawl to their corners, and here come Jessica and Taya! The two women get into it in the centre of the ring, exchanging right hands! Taya throws a punch at Jessica, but Jessica ducks and tosses Taya over her head! Jessica sets up for the Sofaplex, but she's distracted by the sound of "HERE'S TO THE GREATEST (GREATEST) LOVE I'VE EVER KNOWN!" Maria & Mike Kanellis make their way onto the stage, but they're not given a chance to spit their venom tonight, as Jessica leaves the ring and sprints up the ramp towards them. Maria & Mike run away as Jessica gives chase. The King & Queen of Hearts duck into a locker room, as Jessica bangs on the door, trying to get them to come out. Back in the ring, the referee announces Johnny Mundo and Taya as the winners of the match via count out. Dalton Castle and The Boys join Jessica in the backstage area. Jessica continues to bang on the door until it finally opens. When the door opens, Mike & Maria aren't stood in the doorway, instead they find Akam and Rezar, The Authors of Pain. The Authors of Pain grab The Boys and drag them into the room. We hear a commotion going on inside the room, with the sound of furniture and glass being broken. The door opens again and The Authors of Pain toss The Boys back out into the corridor. Maria steps in between Akam and Rezar and says, "Think of it as a metaphor for heartbreak, something that you will continue to experience until you find true love." Maria retreats into the locker room with The Authors of Pain, as Paul London now comes to the door. "Follow The White Rabbit!" he shouts, slamming the door. "That's it!" Dalton Castle screams, cradling one of his Boys, "They will pay for what they've done to my Boys!" Jessica strokes her chin in thought until a lightbulb goes off, "I know how to get Mike & Maria in the ring!"

    After the commercial break, we catch up with Taya and Johnny Mundo backstage. "Did you see how I took Jessica to Slamtown?" Taya asks, blatantly lying through her teeth, "I gave her a beating almost as bad as you gave that stupid cat last week!" We hear the sound of somebody clearing their throat, which gets Taya's attention. "Oh hey, Taya, just a quick question," the former NFA Women's Intercontinental Champion, Natalya says, "Can you actually win a match without outside interference?" "I beat you didn't I, and I took this away from you in the process!" Taya gloats, holding the championship belt in front of Natalya's face. "Hmmm, yeah, well you did have to have your fiancé over there threaten 2Pawz, didn't you? So no, you didn't beat me without help," Natalya retorts, "But let's see if you can, because I've just spoken to Summer Rae, and she's let me evoke my rematch clause. I've decided to have my rematch ... Inside of a Steel Cage!" Natalya bumps Taya's shoulder as she leaves the scene, whilst Taya and Johnny Mundo exchange worried looks.

Speaking of rematches, it's time for Enzo Amore & Kane to get theirs for the NFA Tag Team Championships! Kane makes his way out first, but he's interrupted by the obnoxious sound of his tag team partner. "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 to the ring, where Enzo's spiel continues. "The New Day are old news, because tonight we reclaim our championships and sentence them to life at the bottom of the tag team rankings! The New Day like to say that we're booty, but I say that they're rumps! And you know how I like my rumps? Chargrilled and well done! What about you, Kane?" Kane raises his arms, setting fire to the ring posts as only Kane can, making his stance on the matter very clear. "Aaaawwww, NFA! Don't you dare be sour! Clap for your 2 time champs, and feel the POWAH! It's a New Day, yes it is!" Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods make their way to the ring to a thunderous pop! Kofi and Big E are representing The New Day in this one. Enzo Amore talks trash to The New Day before the match, didn't he do enough of that already? The bell rings and Kofi Kingston immediately connects with the Trouble in Paradise! He makes the cover for the 1 ... 2 ... 3! They've done it! The New Day retain! The New Day leave the ring, gyrating all the way up the ramp, as they head off to celebrate their victory. Kane helps Enzo Amore back to his feet, seemingly showing compassion for his tag team partner, but that theory is put to bed in a heartbeat, as Kane grabs Enzo around the throat and Chokeslams him! Kane drags Enzo back to his feet and Chokeslams him again! Kane looks to be ready to leave the ring, but he changes his mind and grabs Enzo for a third time, dropping him once again with a Chokeslam! Kane leaves the ring and gets halfway up the ramp before he looks over his shoulder and decides to return to the ring. He reaches into the ring and drags Enzo out of it, carrying him up on the ramp on his shoulder. Kane positions Enzo for the Tombstone and drops him head first onto the steel stage! Kane finally heads to the back as EMTs arrive with a stretcher for Enzo Amore.

    "And now that they're out of the way, we're next in line!" Jace-Hero declares to his tag team partner, Roderick Strong, as they're shown to have been watching the last match. "I disagree with you on that one, mate," Pete Dunne says, as he menacingly walks into frame with Tyler Bate. "Who the hell are you guys anyway?" Jace retorts, "Just a couple of British indie darlings who are lucky to be here. You two would never have been hired if I was still General Manager." "Well you're not General Manager, are you?" Tyler Bate replies, "You're just one half of a tag team that's going nowhere." Jace-Hero is obviously annoyed at that dig, but Roderick Strong holds him back. "Why don't we settle this in the ring?" Roddy suggests. "We don't need to settle it in the ring," Pete Dunne says, stopping to drop Jace-Hero with a surprise headbutt, "We're next in line!" Strong checks on Jace as British Strong Style walk away, having made a point that's very hard to argue with.

We cut to the General Manager's office to find that Summer Rae has gathered Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, and Naomi in her office. "Girls, I have to say, your match at Bragging Rights was a disappointing watch," Summer says, giving them a stern talking to, "It was 3-on-1 at one point, you should have easily won the match, but you didn't. Becky and Naomi, you really let me down by being eliminated when the odds were in your favour. However, Alexa, I'm incredibly proud of you for winning the match, so for that, I'm awarding a NFA Women's Championship match!" "Thank you so much, Summer, I won't make you regret giving me this opportunity," Alexa replies, smirking at the other two women. "Hold on a second, I'm the number one contender, she can't just jump the queue!" Becky protests. "She's not jumping the queue, she's just joining you at the front," Summer retorts, "Because your match with Ronda Rousey this month is now a Triple Threat Match!" Becky is mad at first, but a smile comes across her face, seemingly coming up with an initial game plan for the match. "Okay, I'm not too happy about this, but it works for me." Becky Lynch leaves the room. "Thank you again, Summer, I'll prove to you why they call me the Goddess of NFA," Alexa says, leaving the room. "So that's it?" Naomi asks, wondering why she hasn't been addressed at all. "Yes, that's it, you can leave now." "I bust my ass for this show. I carried the NFA Women's Division on my back when Ronda Rousey got herself stripped of the title. I took this division all the way to the main event, but recently I've been overlooked by you. You reward every other woman on the roster, but I have to fight tooth and nail just to get screen time, and even then I have to share it in multi-woman matches. Let's see how long this division lasts without me. I quit!" Naomi turns to walk out of the room, but she's met by Rockstar Spud who is carrying a tray of coffee at a snail pace. Refusing to wait for him to get out of her way, she tips the tray onto Spud, covering him in the boiling hot liquid! Naomi leaves the arena, as Spud screams out in pain. "It's my spuds!" He cries, "The coffee is burning my spuds!"

It's now time for our main event! The NFA Zero Limits Champion, Pentagon Jr., makes his way to the ring first, and he looks thirsty for blood. Mil Muertes is out next without Catrina by his side. I'm not sure whether he's scarier with or without her influence in matches. The bell rings and the two monsters come to blows! Mil Muertes with heavy handed shots and Pentagon with stinging kicks to the thighs. Mil Muertes shoves Pentagon Jr. across the ring and looks to go for The Reaper's Trident, but Pentagon counters with a Slingblade! Mil Muertes pulls himself up to his feet in the corner, but this leaves him open for the Lungblower! Pentagon makes the cover, but Muertes powers out! Mil Muertes grabs Pentagon Jr. by the mask and delivers three hard punches to his face. He then lifts him up and drives him down with a Chokebomb. Mil Muertes makes the cover, but Pentagon kicks out! Mil Muertes roars and drags Pentagon Jr. to his feet, setting up for The Flatliner, but Pentagon delivers an elbow to the temple, stunning Mil. Pentagon kicks Mil Muertes in the ribs and tries to lift him for the Fear Factor, but Mil Muertes throws Pentagon over his head. Mil Muertes quickly follows up with The Reaper's Trident! Kevin Owens' music hits the speakers, and here comes the newest member of the NFA roster! Mil Muertes rolls out of the ring to meet him, but Owens gets the better of the tired big man. KO grabs Mil Muertes and takes him out with a Powerbomb onto the apron! Kevin Owens enters the ring and helps Pentagon Jr. to his feet. He then shoves the Zero Limits Champion into the ropes, catching him with the Pop-Up Powerbomb on the rebound! Kevin Owens has made a huge statement here tonight. He yells at JoJo to bring him a microphone. "NFA may have lost Bragging Rights, but they won the Kevin Owens Bowl."

Summer talking down to and trying to bury all those guys like she's Stephanie McMahon or something.

Goldberg is going to turn The Man into a little boy when he delivers the ole Spear and Jackhammer.

Jinder took his damn time in debuting. Although I shouldn't speak on that considering I've also been holding off on some shit for months.

Not a fireball! I hope Roman isn't permanently disfigured!

Lord, what kind of honey trap is Jessica going to set for Maria and Mike.

Everytime I see 2Pawz name highlighted now I immediately fear the worst and expect someone to attempt to murder him.

I love that Enzo basically gets killed every week. He's like our Kenny. I hope he forgives Kane though. I love this team.

Jace-Hero got knocked the fuck out. He deserved it though for stealing my indie/cruiserweight hating gimmick.

Oh, I didn't see that Naomi stuff coming. I'm sure she'd be treated much fairer over on Friday nights.

Kevin Owens had a nice little spot for himself as back-up announcer on FNBF. Some people are so ungrateful. And Summer should fine him for ruining that first time ever main event.

[Burke]

RIP.

Billy’s funeral service will be held LIVE this week on Friday Night Bitch Fight only on the BPW Network!

[Tarry]

You killed him on his birthday 💀

[Burke]

The entire FNBF roster is out on the stage as the bell tolls 10 times in memory of Billy Gunn. We received the devastating news earlier this week. There will be a funeral service for Mr. Ass later tonight.

One can’t grieve forever though and we kick things off with a new member of the FNBF announce team, Mauro Ranallo! Mauro takes his seat at the table next to Corey Graves, Byron Saxton and Tom Phillips. He says it’s an honour to be here and he’s looking forward to getting into the action on Friday nights. “Mamma mia!” Corey welcomes him and jokes that the announce table is a little crowded now.

The Universal Champion Seth Rollins is out. Seth and his fuck buddy Jason enter the ring and the champ takes a mic. He addresses his match with Finn Bálor at Bragging Rights and says that he may be known as the Kingslayer but on Sunday he became the Demon slayer. “Hahahaha!” He then trashes the “traitor” Kevin Owens for his cowardly attack on him. Moving on, he says he’s now disposed of all challengers. “There’s no one from Friday OR Wednesday nights left to beat…” He should know that line is just begging for an interruption and wait…wtf! It’s Jeff Hardy! The arena explodes as “The Charismatic Enigma” enters the ring. He does the universal motioning to his waist sign that he wants the title and Seth seems to understand what’s he saying loud and clear. Hardy and Rollins go face to face. Jason steps forward too but Seth tells him to leave it. Rollins and Jason exit the ring to boos. Hardy’s music hits and he plays to the cheers of the FNBF audience who surely weren’t expecting to see him here tonight.

Before we can cut to a commercial break, security walk to ringside and head for the announce table. They explain to Byron and Tom that they are here to escort them to the back, per orders of The Carter Family. Byron is informed through his earpiece that he and Tom are being demoted to pre-show and interview duties with immediate effect. They both look to Corey, the man whose job they saved just a week ago. “Welp, there’s nothing I can do about it. Bye, guys.” Byron and Tom are furious and are physically restrained then dragged to the back by the security. Poor Mauro is sitting there wondering what kind of organization he has joined.

We return from break and Mike Rome introduces the newest member of the FNBF roster… Tiarnán! Rumours have been swirling all week that several FNBF-NFA roster changes have been implemented by BPW CEO Batista and this appears to be one of those. Tiarnán’s opponent is Mojo Rawley, who is accompanied by his fellow Hype Bro Zack Ryder. Tiarnán picks up the impressive debut victory when he slips out of a Hyper Driver attempt and locks in a dragon sleeper, forcing Mojo to submit. What will Friday nights have in store for him from here on out?

Father William and Sister Thea are backstage when Sister Taryn approaches them, looking perturbed by something. She has a letter in her hand from an unnamed charity foundation. It claims that Father William is signed up to be a donor to their organization but they have received none of the promised funds yet. Sister Taryn enquires if that is where the money they have been collecting is supposed to have been going to, rather than Father William’s “orphanage in Glasgow.” Father William quickly changes the subject and excuses himself. Sister Thea scowls at Sister Taryn and says it was cheap of her to throw accusations at the honourable Father like that. Sister Taryn tries to explain that she was just checking but Sister Thea blows her off and runs off to catch up with Father William.

EC3 and Tiffany are here and they are FURIOUS. They say they have launched an official appeal to have the result of EC3’s match with Roman Reigns at Bragging Rights overturned due to the unwanted distraction from Shane McMahon. Right on cue, Shane’s music hits and he is greeted with a huge pop in his first FNBF appearance in 3 long months. He wheels himself onto the stage. Shane asks if people are pleased to see him back and he is greeted with huge cheers. Tiffany screams no at the top of her lungs though. Shane says while he may not officially be General Manager right now, his legal team are challenging the circumstances which led to his removal and until that case has been resolved one way or another he has been given special dispensation by BPW CEO Batista to appear on the show. EC3 is incredulous. “What the HELL do we have to do to get rid of you?! Cripple you, tamper with the breaks on your helicopter…” Tiffany tries to stop him like he’s said too much but he continues. “You just keep coming back! Well maybe it’s time to finish you off for good right now.” EC3 and Tiffany menacingly approach Shane on the entranceway. Tiffany takes control of Shane’s wheelchair and EC3 crouches in front of him and smiles sadistically, thinking about what he’s about to do. Shane says hold up. “You know, sometimes it’s better the devil you know…” EC3 and Tiffany are wondering what the hell he’s babbling about until…time to play The Game! Triple H is here! He emerges from behind the curtain and pummels away at EC3, eventually dragging him all the way to ringside. Tiffany is screaming at him to stop but HHH smirks and lifts EC3 up. Pedigree on top of the announce table! The table doesn’t break which may have made it even more painful for EC3. HHH gives an over-excited Mauro Ranallo a fist bump which Mauro quickly regrets. He doesn’t want to get fired on his first night on the job. Stephanie McMahon appears on the stage and wheels Shane to safety as the fans chant “one more time!” at HHH. He obliges and climbs back up. Pedigree through the announce table! It sure broke this time! HHH enters the ring and poses on the turnbuckle as Tiffany runs to check on the battered EC3.

Dixie Carter is watching on a monitor backstage, wincing at what just went down. “Aww, my poor nephew.” The Miz and Maryse enter the room. Miz says that he took The Man to the limit on Sunday and came closer than anyone has before him to ending his undefeated streak. He says he deserves a shot at the FNBF Universal Championship. Dixie thinks about it for a bit then apparently a light bulb goes off in her head. “I tell you what sweetie, next week there will be another Dixie original!” She announces that Miz will face FNBF's newest acquisition Jeff Hardy in a number one contender match and the winner will face Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship at Hardcore XXXmas on December 3. It may not be exactly what Miz wanted but he’ll take it.

Ember Moon and Liv Morgan are set for action. Before the match begins clips are shown of The Iconic Duo walking out on Ember during their 6 woman tag bout against Team NFA at Bragging Rights, forcing her to fight bravely 3-on-1. Unfortunately, Liv may just have been in the wrong place at the wrong time tonight. Seeing the replay appears to fire Ember up and she quickly puts Liv away with the Eclipse. Almost immediately after the match concludes TID’s music hits. The co-Women’s Champions slowly walk to the ring with huge smiles on their faces. They finally enter the ring and prepare to speak. Before they can say a word though Ember has snapped! She tackles Billie to the ground and unleashes a flurry of punches then hits Peyton in the head with her own mic. She pushes Billie out the ring then throws her into the barricade outside. Peyton tries to help her fellow iconic one but Ember quickly fights her off and drives her into the ring steps. Ember continues the onslaught until referees arrive on the scene and manage to hold her back long enough for TID to escape.

Dana Brooke is in the locker room when Paige enters. Dana backs up a little but Paige tells her to chill. She wants to know why she attacked her last week. Dana fumbles her words looking for an explanation until Emma attacks Paige from behind! Emma throws Paige into the shower room and tells Dana to help her. Dana hesitates at first but then joins in at Emma’s insistence. Dana throws Paige into a bathroom stall. Emma laughs out loud and tells Dana their work is done, leading her out of the locker room.

The Tag Team Champions Breezango are in non-title action as they square off with the American Wolves. The title not being on the line doesn’t appear to make then complacent as they pick up the win when Fandango hits a huge top rope leg-drop on Davey Richards. Afterwards, they announce that a new episode of The Fashion Files will premiere next week.

Charlotte is taking part in a photoshoot in the back, dressed in Queen-like attire, no doubt to celebrate her victory over King Tarry in the wild Royal Brawl on Sunday. Lana and Rusev walk by and Lana stops. She looks aghast at what is going on. Charlotte stops the shoot and walks over to her. “Do YOU have SOMETHING to say?” Lana says a Queen should be ravishing and well, only one of us standing here is ravishing. “Thank you, darling”, handsome Rusev responds. Lana sighs and says she was talking about herself. Lana says she should be the one getting photographed and in fact, if anyone is going to be called a Queen around here it should be her. She challenges Charlotte to a match next week with her title of Queen on the line. Charlotte laughs and says it’s not really a title but she won’t turn down the chance to put a beating on Lana. Lana goes to walk away then stops. “Oh, let’s make this a no disqualification match…unless you’re afraid?” Charlotte shows no fear and says whatever before turning back to her photoshoot. Lana attacks her from behind and tells Rusev to CRUSH. He applies The Accolade to Charlotte until she passes out. Lana then takes the crown Charlotte was wearing for the shoot and places it on her own head. Rusev intimidates the photographer and forces him to start snapping pictures of Lana as she poses over Charlotte's unconscious body.

Across town, we see an exterior shot of a funeral home as a limousine is pulling up to the entrance. We fade inside, where we see a close up of Billy Gunn's recently deceased corpse. A pianist is playing depressing music, and as the camera pulls back, we see his grieving family and friends mingling around the state room. Suddenly, the music stops, and the stares and murmurs of guests alert us to the entryway. The camera pans around to reveal Brandon and Dash Wilder having just arrived. Fidgeting nervously with his fingers, Brandon swallows somberly and steps forward; preparing to say his final goodbyes, but first, we fade to a break...

The man who proudly represented FNBF at Bragging Rights with a huge victory over NFA Zero Limits Champion Pentagon Jr. is here! Yes, it’s time for the John Cena Television Champion open challenge! His opponent this week is…Chris Jericho! Y2J enters and there are duelling chants for both men before the bell even rings. There is a big fight feel to this one and the match delivers. Cena kicks out of a Codebreaker and survives the Walls of Jericho. Y2J kicks out of an Attitude Adjustment. He then tries to put The Champ away with a Lionsault but Cena gets his knees up. Cena then locks in the STF and Y2J eventually has to tap. Mauro Ranallo puts over Cena’s historic Television Championship reign while Corey Graves says the person who eventually ends it is going to have to put up the fight of their lives.

We return to the funeral home and Brandon is standing by his father's side, looking down at him and sniffling into a tissue while Dash Wilder affectionately rubs his back. But before Brandon has a chance to say goodbye, the pianist begins to play "Here Comes the Bride." Brandon and Dash look to one another in confusion, and then a collection of gasps alert them to the entryway, where Laurel Van Ness has entered the room - in her wedding dress! Brandon's jaw nearly touches the floor. With a bouquet in hand, Laurel strides right over to him. She carefully places the bouquet of flowers in Billy's hands, and then the two have a stare down. "That's a very touching performance." Laurel accusingly says to her would-be stepson. "But the longer you stand here doing this, the more these people are going to see straight through you." she says, gesturing to their guests. "I can't believe you had the nerve to show your face, just so you could make these people think that you loved your father. You didn't give a damn about Billy. You didn't want him to marry me, and you didn't want him to be happy! All you care about is yourself." Laurel continues, her words visibly upsetting an already emotional Brandon. "You know what I think, Brandon? Your father died of a broken heart; and you broke it. You killed your father, Brandon. You killed my husband." Laurel finishes, rearing back to slap Brandon for good measure. Again the guests gasp, and Brandon spins, catching himself on his father's casket. Dash leans over to help him up, but Brandon ignores him. Instead, he apologizes to Billy. "Daddy, I'm so sorry. She's right, it's all my fault." he cries, begging Billy for forgiveness. This incredibly heartbreaking scene lasts for a moment, but then, in one of the most shocking moments in BPW history, Billy Gunn sits up! A woman screams, and Dash Wilder jumps back, mistaking him for a zombie. "Finally! You admit it!" Billy beams. Freezing, Brandon slowly looks up, his expression melting into one of total shock when he sees that his father is alive. Behind him, a dumbfounded Laurel faints, falling into the arms of a pallbearer. "It's sad I have to fake my own death just for you to stop acting like a spoiled brat!" Billy sneers. Slowly, Brandon rises to his feet. His wide, horrified eyes narrow into a look the BPW Universe has come to know over the years, and this isn't going to end well for Billy. Brandon takes a deep breath, and then, with a yell, he tackles his father, causing the casket to collapse! Brandon chokes and punches away at Billy for the emotional distress he's put him through, while guests are SCREAMING and running out of the state room. Dash steps in to pull Brandon off long enough for Billy to scurry from the room as well. Laurel has come to now and stumbles out after him. "My love! Wait!" We now cut to another exterior shot of the funeral home as Billy flees. Brandon is right behind him, with Dash and Laurel tailing them both. Billy runs out into the street and spins around. "I got you! I got you all!" he points at them, grinning like a madman. But just then, someone lays down on a car horn, and Billy casts a glance to his right, but all he sees are headlights. The car tries to slam on brakes, but before our very eyes, Billy Gunn is run down on live TV! Laurel Van Ness screams bloody murder, falling to her hands and knees and sobbing in front of the funeral home, while Brandon gasps in horror, cupping both hands over his open mouth. Dash grimaces, leaning in to whisper to Brandon that it's a good thing they've already got Billy's funeral set up.

Well then. Let's see how things are going back at the arena, shall we?

Tiffany exits the trainer’s room, having been checking on EC3, who got his ass kicked by Triple H earlier. Sasha Banks saunters by and chuckles. Tiffany is steaming with anger. As she steps forward to Sasha EC3 calls for Tiffany’s assistance back in the trainer’s room. Sasha says she better hurry. “Your man needs you. I see you’ve finally completed your transformation from a ho to a housewife.” Tiffany grabs Sasha by the hair and swings her against the wall. Sasha fights back and throws Tiffany into the door. They brawl into the trainer’s room. The doctor tries to separate them until Sasha smacks him and he sells it like a gunshot. Tiffany charges at Sasha and they both go flying over EC3 lying on the table, who screams in agony. They brawl back outside the room and officials finally arrive to separate them. Tiffany appears to unleash a barrage of obscenities and the show abruptly ends.

[Brandon]

NFA:

I got excited for Mil Muertes vs. Pentagon Jr. because I realized before you even said it that they haven't faced one another despite being two of the top NFA stars for the past year. And honestly, Catrina and Summer Rae's confrontation was equally exciting for the same reasons.

You write Uncle Book so well. 💀 The Man better leave him tf alone.

The Man turning into Braun Strowman, asdfghjkl.

As I'm reading, I was just about to say that Jinder Mahal makes a perfect addition to NFA, but then King Tarry came out and it got even better. False Maharaja. 💀 You've honestly had the best feuds ever since you started using the King Tarry gimmick.

I guess Roman wont be gracing any magazine covers or appearing on any talk shows to promote BPW as the face of the company anytime soon after all. That's okay, EC3 and Tiffany will bring in more viewers anyways.

Jessica rolling out of the ring and chasing Maria and Mike to the back would be such a hit GIF.

Oh wow, I really thought Natalya was gonna be a transitional champion to put the belt on Taya. This is a PROGRAM, mawma!

Wow! Enzo got buried almost as badly as Burke buried EC3 on FNBF! (Yes, Burke. We'll be getting into that in a minute.)

Liv @ Tyler when he becomes NFA Tag Team Champion:



I don't care if Alexa wins, or Becky, or who pins who. Please. For the love of God. Just have one of them win the Women's title.

Does this mean Naomi's a free agent? 👀

Rockstar Spud is consistently the best part of NFA.

"The Kevin Owens Bowl." I can already picture the memes. Honestly though, I'm guilty of not utilizing KO to his full potential when he was on FNBF, but now it's finally his time to shine and I'm ready to STAN.

[Brandon]

FNBF:

Jeff Hardy alone returning wasn't so bad; I've actually been looking forward to it - and I still am - but with Jericho, Cena, Triple H and now Jeff all at the forefront of the show, FNBF is starting to look like a retirement home for stars from the early 2000's.

Me, BEGGING Burke to write dialogue, whether it's for Jeff Hardy to say ANYTHING upon his shocking return, or for The Iconic Duo to explain why they left Ember hanging at Bragging Rights, or for The Miz to actually cut a promo when he's hosting Miz TV, but the only person he bothers to write dialogue for is me:



Funny story. When Byron Saxton and Tom Phillips were out of work, the PornHub CEO was supposed to reach out to Tom and offer him a porn shoot to make ends meet, and to make his wildest face fucking fantasies come true, and then the barely edited for TV trailer was going to air on FNBF. But for some reason that never happened... because Burke.

Tiarnán entering the Bayley stages of his career being confirmed with a squash tour. It worked out so well for her...

"Father William quickly changes the subject," To what? "And excuses himself." To where?

Please, Tiffany. Tamper with Father William's work visa and get him deported.

I don't wanna run you all the way down in this comment, so I'm not gonna speak too much on the EC3/HHH segment. I'll just warn you now. If you ever make my top star look that badly again, especially when he's already coming off of a PPV loss, it'll be the last thing you ever do. And you may want to tread carefully, because I'm keeping note of EVERY time you make EC3 come off this pathetic, and it'll be coming back to you and your faves in January when I have to build him back up. I've already got plans...



Ah, instead of having The Iconic Duo, who are SO easy to write for, explain why they turned on Ember, and taunt her, and gain sympathy for her, and get heat from the crowd, you not only had Ember slaughter Liv, but violently kick their asses for... really no reason, because we never found out what it was. Gotcha.

I wanted an EnD reunion and instead I got Evil Emma and... morally conflicted Dana?



Fresh off of one of the biggest matches of her career and a very entertaining feud with King Tarry, and now Charlotte gets to feud with... Lana.

I'm sure you thought this was a really cute line and a necessary addition. I hope you still feel this way come January.



Sasha and Tiffany's brawl was exciting and them throwing themselves over EC3 was actually pretty hilarious and classic BPW, but then you - literally - abruptly ended it. Bruh, did they trip over a camera cord and cut the feed?

[Burke]

My show getting worse reviews than Batman vs. Superman did.

[Tarry]

The last time we saw Jeff Hardy was at the beginning of the year when he, as Brother Nero, saved Broken Matt Hardy from the Royal Guards. I see that experience must have been traumatic for him in the long run, because he's turned into a mute. I'm looking forward to finding out why Jeff Hardy has a bone to pick with Seth, it's not just about the title, is it?

That sounds hilarious. Why didn't you do it, Burke?

What will Friday Nights have in store for Tiarnán? Hopefully something that retcons his career post-SummerMania.

Damn, Father G. Komen, I can't believe the orphanage in Glasgow may have been your back pocket this whole time.

Do helicopters have brakes in the traditional sense? Like you can't just push a pedal and it stops like a car or a bike, right? I can't believe you didn't let EC3 get any offense in during that beatdown, like you completely buried FNBF's top star just to make Triple H look good, lol. And to make it worse, you tried to make Triple H look cool with the fist bump 💀

In the build up to SummerSlam, or whatever PPV it was, you said that The Miz vs. Jeff Hardy for the first time ever was PPV worthy, but here you are booking their first ever encounter in the BPW Universe on free TV.


I'm glad you decided to bring back Hardcore XXXmas though.

#JusticeForLiv

I can't believe you had Ember destroy The Iconic Duo for pretty much no reason 💀 I wish I had written the 6 woman tag match to have them turn on her by attacking her instead, that way she would have been justified in retaliating physically this week

I thought my tag team division had it rough with having to share one segment for over a month, but I honestly forgot Breezango were your champions. If I had remembered they existed, I would have booked them in the Brandon/Mil Muertes match instead of the Hype Bros 💀

That Charlotte/Lana segment means that, logically, King Tarry is weaker than Lana 💀

I know what you've been threatened with in regard to Cena's title reign, so I have to wonder if you're actually going to let him end the year as champion, lol

I've been waiting so long for Laurel to start wearing the wedding dress all the time, I'm glad it's finally happening. Billy's funeral was such a perfectly messy segment. This storyline has been really good since the wedding, I can't wait to see where it goes next. I also have to assume that B wrote that, because his character wasn't speaking like a valley girl, lol

Was that final segment supposed to be a shot for shot remake of the Mega Powers implosion on The Main Event, or was that a coincidence? lol. I'm sure that segment continued on Bitch Talk, live on the award winning BPW Network.

You got a lot of shit for this episode, but it's okay, I've written bad episodes too, and it's especially hard when the ideas don't come as fast as they did when you first start. Just avoid burying EC3 again, and I'm sure you'll be fine, lol

[Tarry]

Welcome everybody to NFA! Matt Striker and Nigel McGuinness kick off the show with breaking news: the NFA Women's Champion, Ronda Rousey, is in the building and she'll be competing in singles action against Becky Lynch tonight! After that bombshell, they show us a recap of key events that took place on last week's show. We see Finn Bálor's horrific attack on Roman Reigns, and we're provided with a brief update. We're told that Reigns' injuries are only superficial, and that he was lucky to escape with just a small burn on the side of his face. BPW's incredible medical team have relayed information to Striker and McGuinness, telling them that Roman Reigns should be able to return to action very soon. We then see a replay on Kevin Owens taking out Mil Muertes and Pentagon Jr., two of the most monstrous men on the roster, with ease. Let's head down to the ring to see what Kevin Owens has to say.

Kevin Owens makes his way out to a mixed reaction from the BPW Universe. "Welcome to the Kevin Owens Show!" he points to the stage as a banner sporting a Kevin Owens Show logo is dropped over the NFA logo, "Last week I destroyed two of NFA's biggest homegrown stars, and that was just the beginning. I've been here one week and I've already made this brand more relevant than it's been in a long time. That brings me to why I'm out here tonight. Seeing as though I've finally made NFA a talking point again, I feel as though I should be rewarded with a NFA World Heavyweight Championship match!" Music hits the speakers, and here comes an enraged Mil Muertes! Mil makes his way down the ramp and stops as he gets to the ring. Music plays once more, this time signalling the arrival of the NFA Zero Limits Champion, Pentagon Jr. Pentagon makes his way down to ringside and joins Mil Muertes at the bottom of the ramp. They exchange a bone chilling glance as they acknowledge each other's presence. Pentagon Jr. goes to enter the ring first, but he's suddenly taken out by a hooded man wielding a barbed wire baseball bat! The man rolls into the ring and stands by Kevin Owen's side. The man removes his hood ... oh my god! It's Zack Sabre Jr.! He's back! Mil Muertes looks at Pentagon Jr. grimacing in pain on the floor, and then back to KO and ZSJ standing in the ring. He has second thoughts about the attack and leaves the ringside area, heading to the back. Pentagon Jr. doesn't back down though, and he enters the ring anyway. He goes for Zack Sabre Jr., but finds himself on the receiving end of a vicious assault with the barbed wire baseball bat! Kevin Owens pulls Zack away, telling him that he's made his point. There's tension between Owens and Sabre Jr., so Owens extends his hand. Zack looks down at Owens' hand, momentarily pausing, until he finally shakes his hand to a huge pop! Kevin Owens and Zack Sabre Jr. leave the ring together, but KO grabs Zack before they head up the ramp, and he throws him into the barricade! Kevin Owens drags ZSJ back to his feet and delivers a nasty Pop-Up Powerbomb onto the apron! Having made a statement for the second week in a row, Kevin Owens finally heads to the back.

We see a replay of Pete Dunne headbutting Jace-Hero during a heated confrontation last week, which leads us to our first match of the evening. Pete Dunne makes his way out first with his British Strong Style tag team partner, Tyler Bate, by his side. His opponent is, of course, Jace-Hero who arrives with Roderick Strong in his corner. Jace-Hero and Pete Dunne exchange words before the bell, but as soon as the bell rings, it's all action! Pete and Jace beat on each other with the kind of shots you'd see outside a bar at 2am. They clobber each other relentlessly, with both men refusing to back down. The referee steps in as they throw closed hand punches at each other, but the referee catches a punch on his jaw from Pete Dunne! The referee goes down as the two men continue to brawl. Pete Dunne goes for a headbutt on Jace-Hero, but Jace has it scouted and steps to the side! Jace follows up with a punch to the ear that sends Dunne loopy! Jace-Hero tells Roderick Strong to grab him a chair, but Roddy refuses, telling Jace-Hero to win the match cleanly. As Jace-Hero is arguing with Strong, Tyler Bate slides in behind Jace with a chair. He drops the chair on the mat and then spins Jace around. Bate lifts Jace-Hero up and drops him onto the chair with the Tyler Driver '97! Tyler Bate then drags the dizzy Pete Dunne over to Jace-Hero. Dunne places his arm over Jace's chest as Tyler wakes the referee. Tyler Bate leaves the ring as the referee counts Jace-Hero's shoulders down for a 3 count. Bate helps Dunne to the back as Roderick Strong complains to the referee about the outside interference. The referee says there's nothing he can do and the win for Pete Dunne stands. Roddy helps Jace-Hero to his feet, but Jace shoves Roderick Strong away. Jace-Hero leaves the ring as the BPW Universe boos.

We cut to the parking lot where we see Randy Orton arriving in the arena. I've heard it through the grapevine that Randy has finally been cleared to return to in-ring action. Could we be seeing him in action tonight? "Randy!" a voice is heard shouting out. Randy looks around, but he's unable to find the source of the shout. "Randy, up here!" the voice shouts once again. Randy Orton looks up at a production truck and sees Will Ospreay! Ospreay dives from the top of the truck, taking out Randy with a huge crossbody! Will Ospreay climbs back to his feet and walks away, as Randy Orton lays on the ground clutching at his neck and ribs.

We see a pre-taped vignette of the NFA World Heavyweight Champion, The Man, arriving at Shoney's in Acworth, GA. He walks in the door and is instantly drawn to a shrine to the wrestling career of Scott Steiner. A waitress asks if The Man would like a table, but The Man asks if the boss is in. After a short wait, Scott Steiner himself walks out to meet with the champ. "Is that the undefeated world champion in my restaurant?" Steiner asks, as he approaches The Man, "The Freakzilla Special today is the Shoney's Spicy Chicken Sandwich, you want one, hah?" "I'm not here for the food, Scott, I'm here for you," The Man replies, "WCW Fall Brawl 2000, you defeated Goldberg and you became a main event player overnight. Now it's 2017, can you replicate those results against me?" "2000, 2017, 3033 1/3, it doesn't matter to me, I'm the Big Bad Booty Daddy, you fat ass sombitch!" a fired up Scott Steiner replies, removing his tie. The Man laughs in Steiner's face and leaves the restaurant, stopping at the door to say, "See you Wednesday."

    And that brings us to tonight as we head to the ring for that very match. The NFA World Heavyweight Champion makes his way to the ring first to a negative reaction from the BPW Universe. Sirens ring through the arena, followed by the call of "HOLLA, IF YOU HEAR ME!" Scott Steiner, who had more notice than Booker T did last week, makes his way out to the ring looking more than ready to throw down. He removes his iconic chain mail headdress and the throws his sunglasses at The Man, telling him to come and get it. The bell rings and here we go! The Man taunts Steiner, but his cockiness gets the better of him as Freakzilla surprises The Man with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex! The Man gets up and dusts himself off. Steiner tries for another Suplex, but The Man blocks it and damn near takes Scott Steiner's head off with a ripcord clothesline! The Man retains wrist control and pulls a limp Scott Steiner back to his feet. The Man lifts Steiner into the air and crushes him with a devastating Jackhammer to pick up the win. The Man requests a microphone after the match. "That was the 50th victory in the greatest winning streak of all time, and it was wasted on Scott Steiner," he says, receiving boos from the audience, "I would have saved it for Goldberg, but the BPW Board of Directors don't want to play ball. How hard is it to book a match? It's okay though, I know how to force their hand. Next week I'll do something drastic to get what I want."

A glam rock inspired tune hits the speakers as Jessica and Dalton Castle make their way to the ring ... dressed as gimps?! Jessica has a microphone in hand, "After last week I finally understood Maria & Mike's interpretation of true love, and I came to the realisation that it's pure, unadulterated, kinkiness!" She says, receiving a bizarre pop from the BPW Universe, "Babe, cuff me to the ropes." Dalton obliges, handcuffing Jessica to the ringropes. He then asks a referee to do the same to him. "HERE'S TO THE GREATEST (GREATEST) LOVE I'VE EVER KNOWN!" rings out around the arena as Mike & Maria Kanellis make their way onto the stage, "Oh, Jessica, you've got it all wrong," Maria says in the most condescending fashion, "True love is not about leather and lace, it's about opening your heart to the wonders of the world. It's about falling in love with one person and one person only. It's about - Ugh!" Suddenly Maria & Mike are attacked from behind by ... Jessica and Dalton Castle? What the heck? Jessica drags Maria down to the ring as Dalton does the same to Mike. They throw them into the ring with the other Jessica and Dalton, as things start to become clear. Dalton castle removes the masks of the decoys, revealing them to be none other than The Boys! ... One of wearing padding in the right places to pass as female, of course. Dalton Castle sets up for Bang-A-Rang, as Jessica prepares to deliver a SofaPlex, but The Authors of Pain sprint to the ring and put a stop to the ambush! Paul London pulls Maria to safety, as Mike Kanellis and The Authors of Pain deliver a three-on-one attack to Dalton Castle. Jessica yells at them to stop, but they won't listen, and she wisely doesn't try to save him by getting physically involved. The Authors of Pain drag Dalton to his feet and lay him out with The Last Chapter. The White Rabbit Following leave together, as the handcuffed Boys and Jessica fear for Dalton's wellbeing. Maria stops on the ramp to turn back and say, "Follow The White Rabbit."

"Aaaawwww, NFA! Don't you dare be sour! Clap for your 2 time champs, and feel the POWAH! It's a New Day, yes it is!" The NFA Tag Team Champions, The New Day make their way to the ringside area, as Big E prepares to compete in singles action. His opponent is Finn Bálor, who is accompanied to the ring by the dark priestess known only as, Catrina. Big E and Finn Bálor lock up in the centre of the ring, with Big E showing off his strength advantage early by shoving Bálor across the ring. Catrina tells him to shake it off and get back in there. Bálor returns to the fight by delivering a nasty forearm to Big E, but Big E returns the favour with an even bigger clubbing blow. Big E tries to send Finn Bálor into the ropes, but Bálor puts on the brakes and delivers an overhead kick to Big E. Finn now has the advantage, taking the opportunity to stomp on the grounded happy-go-lucky big man. Finn Bálor calls for the running dropkick, but Big E sees him coming, taking him out with a running body block! Big E drags Bálor to his feet and lifts him up for The Big Ending, but Bálor fights out and counters with the 1916! Finn Bálor makes the cover, but Big E kicks out! Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods start to wind up Catrina on the outside, with Woods constantly blowing Francesca 3.0 in her direction, whilst Kofi tells her to lighten up. The referee sees the commotion on the outside and turns his back to the action. Bálor goes up top for the Coup de Grâce, but Roman Reigns slides into the ring out of nowhere and surprises Finn with a Superman Punch, crotching Catrina's follower on the top rope. Roman Reigns leaves the ring as Big E gets back to his feet. Big E takes advantage by snatching Finn Bálor from the top rope to deliver The Big Ending! 1 ... 2 ... 3! Big E has done it! The New Day celebrate the shocking win with a dance party, while Catrina curses Roman's name, swearing that he will pay for this in blood. Yikes.

King Tarry is seen walking through the corridors of the arena. He hears music playing from inside a room and decides to venture in to investigate. The camera pans around the room to show a magnificent throne room, decorated in the tapestries and rugs. The Modern Day Maharaja, Jinder Mahal, is sat on an enormous throne being fed grapes by two beautiful women. "What the bloody hell is happening in here?" King Tarry demands to know, clearly enraged at Mahal's gall to set up a throne room in King Tarry's Kingdom. "Ah, if it isn't the false King himself," Jinder Mahal says, welcoming King Tarry to his makeshift palace, "Please, come before me and bow!" "I'm not bowing to you, and I'm not about to have back-to-back feuds centred around bowing, a King deserves better than that," King Tarry replies. "In that case, you can leave!" Jinder Mahal shouts, losing his cool with King Tarry. "I'm not going anywhere," King Tarry replies, "The Kingdom of NFA belongs to me, so that means this throne room is mine. Get out!" "You get out!" "You get out!" "You get out!" "You get out!" "Fine, you leave me no choice," Jinder Mahal replies, putting a stop to the childishness, "Samir, Sunil, please escort this pretender out of my throne room." Jinder Mahal's most trusted servants, the Singh Brothers, grab King Tarry by the arms and drag him out of the room as he flails around trying to break free. "Unhand me, peasants! I'm the King!" King Tarry screams, "I'm the Kiiiiiiiing!" The Singh Brothers toss him out of the throne room, slamming the door shut behind them. The door then opens again, as Samir tosses King Tarry's sceptre out of the room too. King Tarry cradles his sceptre like a baby, "Jinder Mahal, you will suffer the King's wrath!"

It's now time for Women's Division action! In the ring is Bayley, who is looking to finally get back on track with a win here tonight. Her opponent is the NFA Women's Intercontinental Champion, Taya, who is accompanied as always by the Mayor of Slamtown, Johnny Mundo. The bell rings and Taya mocks Bayley by asking for a hug, but Bayley answers with a knee to the ribs! Bayley then grabs Taya and connects with the Bayley-to-Belly! 1 ... 2 ... No! Johnny Mundo drapes Taya's foot on the rope at the last second. Bayley turns her attention to Mundo, but Taya takes advantage and hits a Snap German Suplex. Taya then follows up with a Northern Lights Suplex into a Double Stomp to pick up the win. Taya celebrates in the ring with Johnny Mundo until Natalya's music hits the speakers. The former champion makes her way out to the ring, stepping right up to Taya. "Oh, Taya, congratulations on that hard fought victory of yours," Natalya says, referring to the fact that Taya had to have Johnny Mundo's help to win, "I'm sure you'll do better in our Steel Cage match." "What the hell do you want, Natalya?" Taya asks, "I've already agreed to the Steel Cage match, I was hoping not to see you again until then." "Honey, we're feuding, we'll be seeing each other every week until then, that's how wrestling works," Natalya replies, mocking Taya, "I'm actually here to extend the olive branch though. Next week I'm holding a little get together in 2Pawz' honour, and I was hoping you two would stop by to apologise for all the stress you've caused him over the past month." "Why would we want to apologise to that flea-ridden little sh-" Johnny Mundo snaps, until he's cut off by Taya. "We'll be there." "That's great, I'll see you both next week!" Nataya leaves the ring to go and finish preparations for 2Pawz' party, whilst Taya and Johnny Mundo conspire in the ring.

"My name is Enzo Amore, and I'm a certified G, and a bonafide stud, and you can't teach that! BADA BOOM, REALEST GUYS IN THE ROOM! How you doin'?!" "Yes, Enzo, I know who you are," the camera pans to reveal Summer Rae sat at her desk, "What can I do for you?" "For the past few months I've had the sauce kicked out of me by the Big SAWFT Machine, and I'm sick of it!" Enzo replies. "So what do you want?" Summer asks, getting annoyed with Enzo, "Do you want a new tag team partner? Is that what you want? Spud, come here." Rockstar Spud is shown sat on his stool in his corner, shaking his head at the idea of teaming with Enzo. "I don't want a new partner, I want Kane gone from NFA!" "Well, that's not going to happen," Summer replies, "You really think I'm going to fire somebody like Kane? Be real. I value my safety." "So what are you going to do instead?" Enzo asks. "I'm going to book you in a match with him next week, that's what I'm going to do," Summer replies, "And it's going to be a No Holds Barred match!" Enzo's eyes nearly pop out of his head after hearing that, "Okay. Okay, I can make that work," he mutters to himself, "Yeah, I can definitely make that work. Next week, I make Kane ride the Zo Train." Enzo leaves the office, as Summer and Spud let out a collective sigh of relief.

It's now time for our colossal main event! The #1 Contender to the NFA Women's Championship, Becky Lynch, makes her way out first for this non-title match up. Bad Reputation plays over the speakers as the NFA Women's Champion, Ronda Rousey, makes her way to the ring for her first match since SummerMania. The BPW Universe aren't happy to see Ronda, as they boo her throughout her entire entrance. Ronda grabs a microphone from ringside, "Seeing as though Summer Rae can change contracted matches on a whim without consulting me, I've decided to do the same with this match tonight," she says, as the boos get louder, "I won't be competing in this match, but I've found the perfect replacement." Ronda Rousey points to the stage as her friend, and fellow member of the Four Horsewomen of MMA, Shayna Baszler makes her way down the ramp. It looks like this is an official contest as the referee calls for the bell. Becky Lynch fires out of the gate, trying to get the upperhand on Shayna, but the former MMA fighter has an answer to Becky's attacks, placing her in a chokehold. Becky Lynch gets the tip of her boot on the bottom rope to break the hold. That was a close one! Becky and Shayna regain their vertical base. Shayna Baszler comes out swinging, but Becky hits the mat with a roll, positioning herself behind Shayna. Shayna turns around only to eat a huge Bex-Ploder! Becky clambers for the cover, but Shayna rolls to the outside. Ronda coaches Shayna, telling her what to do next. Shayna flashes a sick smile as she climbs back into the ring. Becky tries her luck as soon as Shayna re-enters, but Baszler catches her and connects with the Two of a Kind! Shayna makes the cover, but Lynch gets the shoulder up! Shayna drags Becky to her feet and lifts her up for a vertical Suplex. Oh my god, is this gonna be? Yes it is! The Kirifuda Driver! Shayna doesn't quite have the choke locked in as Becky has her arm blocking Shayna's arming from wrapping around her throat. Becky lets out a loud scream as she digs down deep and pushes Shayna's arm away! Becky holds onto the arm and twists it around Baszler's back! Dis-Arm-Her! Shayna looks ready to tap, but Ronda Rousey pulls the referee out of the ring. The referee has no choice but to disqualify Shayna Baszler! That doesn't seem to bother Ronda and Shayna though, as they take it in turns attacking Becky with a variety of Suplexes after the match. Becky doesn't look at all as she continuously hits the mat hard. Alexa Bliss' music hits the speakers, and here comes the Goddess of NFA to make the save! Alexa looks as though she's about to enter the ring, but seems to have a change of heart and decides to leave Becky Lynch to continue to suffer the beating. Alexa Bliss heads to the back as the BPW Universe boos. NFA goes off the air with the assault on Becky Lynch continuing.

Acquiring Kevin Owens was such a coup. He's already such a great addition to NFA, and I hadn't given it much thought before, but I think you were missing a loudmouth top heel, since The Man, Mil Muertos, Pentagon Jr. and Finn Bálor are all the strong, silent type. Oh, good. I'm commenting as I'm reading and thought I spoke too soon and that you were gonna pair Owens with ZSJ for some reason lol.

Tyler Bate and Jayzero next week when Jay confronts him for his interference:



Not a mother fuckin Shoney's! 💀 Whew, our grandparents used to take us to Shoney's EVERY Sunday. I remember there was a fish tank with an eel in it that I used to press my face against the whole time we waited for a table. 💀 They need to sponsor our next PPV so I can bust my SummerMania merman costume back out for another commercial. Omg this segment got me snorting! I can't believe you used Scott Steiner, and not only that, but wrote him so perfectly. And I love that The Man is low key promoting the BPW Network by referencing all of these old timers' pivotal career moments.

Jessica serving Dangerous Woman in that gimp outfit. Oh, never mind. 💀

Nnnn, Xavier and Kofi trolling Catrina on the outside. 💀 I'm shocked Big E picked up such an impressive win! Courtesy of Roman Reigns, of course.

I have no words for the King Tarry/Jinder Mahal segment. Just... phenomonal.

"What the hell do you want, Natalya?" Taya asks, "I've already agreed to the Steel Cage match, I was hoping not to see you again until then." "Honey, we're feuding, we'll be seeing each other every week until then, that's how wrestling works," Natalya replies

As much as I hate Enzo irl, like KO and The New Day, you do such a great job of writing him.

I was actually hoping you'd bring Shayna Baszler in to wrestle on Ronda's behalf since the Women's Champion can't be bothered to herself. Becky's heel turn was a great storyline opportunity for her, but I think she definitely works better as a face and I think this new direction is going to do wonders for everyone involved. For the first time since Naomi was being pushed against Ronda, I'm really excited for the Women's Championship scene.
