### FDW Women’s World Championship No.1 Contenders Triple Threat Match

Anna Materson vs Bridget Johnson vs Genesis:

Anna makes her way to the ring, skipping down the ramp. Bridget comes out second, taking her place in the ring. Finally, Genesis arrives as her theme blaring through the arena. She saunters her way down to the ring, licking her lips seductively before throwing up devil horns and howling into the sky.

The bell rings, the three women eye each other up before Anna rushes Bridget. Anna connects, sending Bridget reeling, but before being able to capitalise, Genesis grabs Anna by the hair, pulling her down to the mat. Genesis lays in some vicious stomps to a downed Anna, while Bridget recovers in the corner. Anna bails to the outside as Genesis builds up a head of steam and catches Bridget with a clothesline. Genisis raises a boot into Bridget's throat as the ref makes a four-count. Genesis exits the ring, hunting for Anna who is slowly getting back to her feet. As Anna rolls back into the ring, Genesis is close behind, grabbing her by the neck. She lifts Annas face up towards hers, laughing mockingly at her, before delivering a swift knee to the gut. Bridget starts to recover in the corner while Genesis throws Anna back down to the mat. Genesis goads Bridget over before they engage in a test of strength. Bridget gains control before sweeping the legs and sending Genesis to mat. Anna tries to recover outside the ring once more as Bridget maintains the lockup before losing her footing. Genesis seizes the opportunity and delivers a harsh knee into Bridgets side. Bridget releases her grip allowing Genesis to return to her feet and unleash a sudden green mist into Bridgets face. Quick as a flash Genesis capitalises by rolling Bridget up into a small package and securing the victory.

### Confrontation between Cal O'Ridden & Matt Havoc

As the show is preparing for the next segment, a voice blares through the arena speakers, "Cut the f\*\*\*\*\*\* music". The camera pans around, hunting the source of the interruption before settling on Cal pushing his way through the fans, a microphone in hand.

"Havoc, I know you're here right now. Before your security comes at me again, Get your ass out here and make my match official dammit."

Havoc appears at the top of the ramp, responding:

"What do you want, Cal?"

"You KNOW what I want, Matt. Give me Bembry, Give me him in a one on one, Havoc."

The fans cheer, reaching out to pat and paw at Cal as he speaks.

"Matt, So help me God, I will kick everyone's ass in this company until I get my match!"

Havoc responds quickly. "That's too bad, Security!" before turning and heading back through the curtain.

Security descends upon Cal, pushing and shoving fans aside as they block their path. Cal glides through the fans, looking for an escape route as security reaches him. A brawl ensues with Cal landing some stiff elbow strikes on the Officers before the numbers game overwhelms him and he gets dragged backstage.

### Barbed Wire Deathmatch

Gabriel White vs Jack Reaper:

Introduced as 'Representing himself' is The Lone Wolf, Gabrial White. He storms down to the ring, his attire inspired by Sabu while carrying a concealed weapon in a bag. He enters the ring and turns to face the ramp, awaiting his opponent.

Representing Eternal, Jack Reaper steps out from behind the curtain, scythe in hand. Snapping his fingers, purple smoke envelopes the stage as he slowly approaches the ring. He climbs onto the apron and locks eyes with Gabe. Before the bell rings, Gabe charges forward and strikes Reaper with the bag. Reaper attempts to block, avoiding the brunt of the damage but allows Gabe time to reveal the weapon, A shovel.  Gabe screams "I will fix you!", with a recovering Reaper yelling "And I will break you!" in response. Gabe strikes Reaper in the rips, eliciting a loud groan before Reaper grabs the shovel and harshly pulls Gabe forwards, into the barbed wire ropes. Gabe screams in pain but does not stop his assault, pushing the shovel upwards and directly into Reapers jaw. Reaper releases his grip on the weapon and grabs at his jaw, freeing Gabe from the barbed wire ropes. Gabe builds up a head of steam and forces Reaper into the barbed wire this time. The barbs tear open Reapers back, but he remains on his feet as blood starts to trickle from his wounds.

Gabe follows up with a forceful dropkick, pushing Reaper back into the barbed wire before attempting to follow up with a hurricanrana to the outside.  Reaper displays almost inhuman fortitude as he counters the hurricanrana and launches Gabe chest first into the unforgiving barbed wire. The crowd gasp, with 'You sick f\*\*\*' chants starting immediately after. Gabe screams in pain, giving Reaper time to drag himself out of the barbs. Reaper retrieves a baseball bat embedded with nails from a weapons bag in the ring, he turns and strikes towards Gabe. Gabe dodges with a wild dropkick to the knee, sending Reaper face-first into his own bat. Reaper finally lets out a deep, pained scream as the nails puncture his flesh, coating him in a crimson mask of his blood. Gabe struggles to free himself from the malicious ropes as a timer on the titantron ticks down to 0.

Unable to free himself in time, Gabe is caught in an explosion that even manages to take Reaper off his feet. Gabe is thrown from the ring by the blast, landing with a heavy thud to the outside. Reaper slowly and painfully puls himself back up off the mat, reaching towards his signature scythe before stalking to the outside in pursuit of the injured Gabe, who struggles to his feet. Reaper separates the Scythe into its flair form ad prepares to slice Gabe with its bladed edge. Gabe drops down quickly, landing a low blow that brings Reaper down to his knees. The two mutter back and forth for a moment, as Gabe seems to be trying to break Reaper out of his twisted trance. Gabe then grabs a barbed wire wrapped bat from ringside, grating it against Reapers already bloodied forehead. Reaper lets out another pained scream as the barbs rend his flesh before managing to get a grip of the bat and force it away from his face. Reaper launches his head backwards, connecting with Gabe's jaw, stunning him. Quickly grasping at Gabe's fingers, Reaper twists and snaps it, in an attempt to break the bones in his hand. Gabe screeches, kicking wildly as Reaper to no avail.

Reaper twists and bends the finger, but the wounds on his head are bleeding so heavily his vision becomes obscured, forcing him to release the hold and wipe the gore from his eyes. Gabe clutches ate his damaged finger as he rolls back into the ring, trying to create some distance but Reaper is in close pursuit. Reaper wraps his had around Gabe's neck as he attempts to squeeze the life out of him, lifting him off the ground. Thinking fast Gabe targets the eyes with a face rake, freeing himself before once again retreating to the outside and securing a table. Reaper recoils, clutching his face before turning his attention to the duffle bag of weapons lying in the ring. He pours the contents out for all to see, selecting a box of hardware nails before emptying the metal pins into his hand. Gabe reenters the ring, setting up the table, unaware of Reapers recovery, he turns to face his opponent but is greeted with a face full of nails instead.

Reaper follows up this violent assault with a big boot, sending Gabe prone atop the table. Reaper pulls Gabe back up by the throat and leads him to the corner, mocking him as he does. He drags Gabe's limp body ut to the second rope and prepares to powerbomb him clean through the table. Gabe suddenly springs to life, flipping his body over and sending Reaper careening through the wooden structure with a hurricanrana. Gabe lets out a defiant laugh as he stumbles over, pinning Reaper to the mat and securing the victory.

Post-match, Gabe celebrates the hard-fought win as Reaper slowly pulls himself upright. Gabe attends to his fallen advisory as the two stumble to the back.

###  FDW Women’s World Championship Match

Kaida Sugiyama vs Alex Kane:

Kaida's music starts to play before the titantron lights up, showing a rather batter and bruised Kaida standing in front of a window, the dead of night behind her.

“I am Kaida Sugiyama, ready to take on the evil. Alex Kane. You Eternal. Your path end today. You have advantage Alex, you go into match healthy. I go into match with knee brace, you even get cheap shot in on me. You are no human anymore. But, Neither am I. I am the little dragon. Kaida Sugiyama."

A focused smile draws across Kaida's face, "See you tomorrow."

With that final line, the titantron goes dark, the lights blast back on and her theme starts once again.

Kaida limps out from behind the curtain as the crowd starts to chant. Kaida is once again wearing her mask, now a matching pink to the rest of her attire. Raising a fist to the air, pyro erupts on the ramp followed by a cascading shower of sparks behind Kaida before she lowers her fist and marches down the ramp. She stops and strikes her signature peace taunt to a huge ovation. Kaida slaps hands with fans at ringside before removing her mask and handing it to a young fan in the crowd. Entering the ring, Kaida once more strikes her peace pose before saluting towards the crowd before stepping into her corner.

In sharp contrast to Kaida's flashy entrance, Alex is more reserved and focused. With no pomp or circumstance, she storms down the ramp and rolls into the ring, her eyes locked on Kaida.

Before the bell rings Alex marches towards Kaida and plants a firm slap across her face. The bell rings and the match officially begins.

Kaida starts out shaken from the slap, and attempts to circle around Alex. Losing no momentum, Alex charges Kaida and attempts to land a clothesline wich Kaida narrowly ducks under. Regaining her base, Kaida attempts a lock-up, however, Alex once again charges her in an attempt to land a ferocious knee strike. Kaida dodges yet again, the knee almost grazing her in passing, however, Kaida's injured knee gives out, sending her to the mat clutching it in pain. Alex capitalises on the opportunity, laying in stomps to the injured body part. As Kaida clutches at her knee, Alex continues the assault by climbing the turnbuckle and driving a middle rope elbow drop into the side of Kaida's knee. Alex grabs Kaida's legs, attempting a figure-four leg lock but Kaida twists free before pulling herself up against the ring ropes. Kaida moves towards Alex, clearly favouring her undamaged leg with each step eliciting a mocking laugh from Alex. Suddenly Kaida launches a huge Question Mark Kick almost out of nowhere, sending Alex crashing to the mat.

Kaida quickly follows up with a pin, only getting a 1 count before Alex launches Kaida across the ring with the force of the kick out. Kaida lands, hitting her bad knee against the mat before Alex kips up, hits the ropes and nails her with a crisp Springboard Moonsault onto Kaidia's knee. Alex's focus is solely on Kaida's injury as she pivots her weight and wrenches back on the leg, locking Kaida into a Kneebar. Kaida clutches at the ropes, starting the ref's count. When the count reaches 3, Alex releases the hold and heads to the top rope. She launches herself off the top with a Shooting Star Press however Kaida rolls out of the way at the last moment causing Alex to slam into the mat with full force. As Alex pulls herself up off the mat, Kaida hobbles over, landing a swift punch directly into Alex's face. However, Alex barely flinches, returning a dismissive slap to Kaida. The two begin to trade stiff, clubbing shots back and forth before Kaida reels back and nails Alex with a devastating jab directly to the jaw. Alex crumples to the mat as Kaida's knee starts to give out once again. Fighting through the pain, Kaida locks in her Brutaliser submission hold on Alex.

Alex pushes back against Kaida, breaking the hold and allowing her to regain her footing upright in the ring. With this Alex attempts to return the stiff jab, only for Kaida to dodge and close the gap. Kaida swivels around to Alex's back and flips her over with a Dragon Suplex, bridging for the pin, securing only a 2 count. Alex and Kaida both rise to their feet again, showing signs of damage and fatigue. Both competitors stare each other down, with Kaida beaconing for Alex to attack her. Drawn in by the taunt, Alex attempts yet another slap, with Kaida once again weaving her way past it and getting behind Alex. As it looks like Kaida is setting up for a second Dragon Suplex, she instead lifts all of Alex's weight up onto her shoulders before dropping her headfirst down to the mat with a Burning Ring Ember (Burning Hammer). Alex crashes to the mat, landing with a deafening impact before Kaida crawls over, draping an arm across her and earning the pinfall victory.

Kaida slowly and shakily picks herself up off of the pin and is awarded the FDW Women's Championship belt.  Her parents join her in the ring and celebrate before being escorted out by Security and Kaida limps to the back.
