## Production

#### **Background**

NGW: Doomsday was the second show produced by professional wrestling promotion Next Generation Wrestling.

#### **Storylines**

The NGW: Doomsday show featured professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers signed by the promotion. Wrestlers portrayed faces (those who portray the "good guys") or heels (the "bad guys") as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a match. The show also began the storylines of the Bloodlust Revolution and the tyrannical reign of Jeffry Mason and the ongoing feud between the tag teams of the Danger Zone and Extremely Lethal.

In the opening match of the night, The Danger Zone (Ryan Vendetta & Strom Andrews) defeated Extremely Lethal (Tyler Keenan & Chris Jordan) after Storm Andrews pinned Chris Jordan, following a Nervous Disposition. Before the match began, the The Danger Zone began to hand out magazines to the crowd that showed Tyler Keenan in some...'unique' images.

In the next match, Chris Shaw defeated Davis Powell, Slate Bass, and Andrew Bennett in a fatal four-way match after pinning Andrew Bennett, following a double foot stomp to the back of Bennett's head.

#### **Main Event**

In the main event of the night, Jeffry Mason debuted as the

Brian Nebraska was the second entrant in the match. Danny Boy entered at number
three. Trevor Raynor entered the match fourth before being eliminated by Danny
Boy, making Raynor the first elimination. Kelsey Taylor entered the match at
number five. Zack Evans entered the match at number six and lasted for a few minutes
before he was thrown over the rope onto the apron. It seemed that Evans was
about to climb back into the ring before a masked intruder grabbed Evans leg
from the outside and pulled him off the apron eliminating him, making Evans the
second elimination in the match. Nathan Cage entered the match at number seven.
Mayhem entered the match at number eight. Dan Mulak entered the match at number
nine and eliminated Mayhem, making him the third elimination. Ryan Davis
entered the match at number ten and was immediately eliminated by Kou Kazuma,
making him the fourth elimination.

Kelsey Taylor was the next elimination being
eliminated by Brian Nebraska, making her the fifth elimination. Kazuma was
angered by this and immediately eliminated Nebraska right after, making him the
sixth elimination. Danny Boy & Nathan Cage both eliminated each other after
Cage attempted to knock Danny off the ropes, but Danny caught Cage with a
hurricarana and flung him over the ropes essentially eliminating both men,
making them the seventh and eighth eliminations. Crow entered the match at
number eleven. El Guernica entered the match at number twelve. Carlos Bello entered
the match at number thirteen. Kami Jaxson was meant to be entrant number
fourteen, but he ran towards the ring and climbed onto the apron only to be
knocked off by Kazuma. Jaxson landed awkwardly on his ankle and was ruled out
of the match. Dan Mulak was the next elimination after being eliminated by both
Crow and Kou Kazuma, making him the ninth elimination. Mulak was furious about
this and climbed back up onto the apron and grabbed Kazuma eliminating him,
making him the tenth elimination.

The final surprise entrant in the match was revealed
to be Tyler Sin, but as, he walked out onto the stage he was attacked with a
barbed wire bat by a person wearing a hood covering their face. Once the person
reached the ring, it was revealed to be Jeffery Mason. The final four men were
Crow, Carlos Bello, El Guernica and Jeffry Mason. The first of the four to go
was Carlos Bello after he was eliminated by Jeffry Mason, making him the
eleventh elimination. Next was Crow after he was eliminated by El Guernica,
making him the twelfth elimination. It came down to Jeffry Mason and El
Guernica where Mason would eliminate Guernica to win the battle royal and
