Kris Cruise: Ju-... "El Dragón" insists that he's out for revenge at Grapland. But Jessie Pederson brought up a great point. How could he be out for revenge if he's never stepped in the ring with TJ Techniques before? Stephy Auger: That's because he has been in the ring with TJ before, you idiot! Everyone knows its Julian Tijerina under the mask! Even Pedro Gonzales is wondering what the hell is the matter with him. Maybe when TJ landed on his head, he knocked a couple of screws loose. Kris Cruise: Call him whatever you want, Stephy, but El Dragón has shown what he's capable of in an FGA ring before. Stephy Auger: Sure. But can he withstand the test of The Last Outlaw of Professional Wrestling? I don' think so! Kris Cruise: Perhaps you're right. With that being said, 2023 has been a down year for Seth Iser. He isn't in the greatest form at the moment. As far as FGA's concerned, at least. Stephy Auger: Or maybe that's just what Seth wants us to think. This is a man that's Wrestling's Greatest Mind, after all. You don't think he's got something up his sleeve? You don't think he's moving chess pieces behind the scenes? Maybe this is what Iser wants everyone to think before he springs his next plan into action. Kris Cruise: There isn't anyone more calculated in all of wrestling than Iser, I'll give you that. Seth Iser vs. El Dragón Dragón strikes first, dropping Iser down to a knee with a basement dropkick moments after the opening bell. The Former Julian Tijerina takes off into the far ropes before knocking Iser fully down with a running front dropkick for a two count. Dragón continues his attack, turning Iser around and dropping him to a knee with a springboard roundhouse kick. He then sizes Iser up before blasting him with a Buzzsaw Kick. NO! Iser ducks, returns to his feet and goes to counter with a belly to back suplex. Dragón ends up rolling over the shoulder, landing on his feet and countering with an O'Connor Roll for a two count. Dragón stays on the attack, catching Iser when he turns to his feet with the Rompiendo El Hielo (Shoot Kick to the left leg followed by a Shoot Kick to the left side followed by a Roundhouse Kick followed by a Superkick)! After he returns off the ropes, he brings Iser back down with the Tilt-a-Whirl Surprise (tilt-a-whirl headscissors into a sunset flip) for another two count. Dragón heads right back into the ropes. When he returns, he ducks a big boot from Iser before continuing to run the ropes. When Dragón comes back, he executes another Tilt-a-Whirl Surprise. This time, a tilt-a-whirl headscissors into a crucifix pin. He gets another two count. Dragón goes right back into the ropes. This time, Iser goes to bring him down with a back body drop. Dragón ends up slipping down from behind before countering with a Sombra Driver (schoolboy suplex). But Dragón can't pull Iser down. Instead, Iser counters with a leg drop across the arm before applying a short arm scissors. After Dragón fights his way to the ropes, Iser brings the action into the corner. From there, he lights up Dragón's chest with multiple knife edge chops. A series of back elbow strikes, knee strikes and shoulder thrusts followed before Dragón gets flung out of the corner. Once Dragón is back to his feet and turns around, Iser comes barreling out of the corner before nearly taking his head off with a running big boot for a two count! Iser stays in control, delivering a snake eyes across the top turnbuckle before catching Dragón with a running big boot that turns him inside out for another two count. Dragón starts to fight back with chops before Iser shoves him down to the mat. Dragón returns to his feet with a kip up before catching Iser with another Rompiendo El Hielo! While Iser is rocked, Dragón hits the ropes. When he returns, though, Iser is able to counter with a Stun Gun. Seconds later, Dragón gets flung across the ring again. First, with a release German Suplex. After he gets whipped hard into the corner, he starts to stumble out until Iser chucks him across the ring with a release belly to belly suplex for another two count. Dragón gets brought down with a vertical suplex, but he gets the shoulder up at two. Iser continues to target the back. First, with a pendulum backbreaker. Then, with the Icebreaker (Irish Curse). Dragón is then brought down with the Pillar of Truth (Bossman Slam) for another two count. As the match continues, Dragón gets caught with three jabs. Iser goes for a discus clothesline, but Dragón ducks and hits the ropes. When he returns, Iser counters with a spinning spinebuster. He then tries for a superplex, but Dragón counters with multiple forearm strikes before pushing Iser down off the middle ropes. Once Iser returns to a vertical base, Dragón brings him down with a diving neckbreaker. Dragón starts to mount a comeback as he catches Iser with yet another Tilt-a-Whirl surprise. This one is a tilt-a-whirl into a DDT for a two count. Iser quickly reverses an irish whip, sending Dragón into the ropes. When Dragón returns, he delivers a running hurricanrana that sends Iser across the middle rope. Seconds later, Dragón connects with La Guillotina (rope walk into a leg drop across the back of the head). After bringing Iser back down with a Sling Blade, Dragón delivers the Dragón Twist Cutter (Spinning Cutter) for the ONE, TWO, THREE! Winner: El Dragón Dragón Twist Cutter (8:58)Kris Cruise: We've got our second upset of the night as El Dragón surprises Seth iser with the win! Stephy Auger: Are you sure that was a three count? I'm not so sure. Kris Cruise: Well I'm more than positive that Dragón got all of that one for the three count. This is the time of victory that will give him all the confidence as he tries to capture the Pride Championship at Grapland. Stephy Auger: ... for the "first" time, right? Kris Cruise: Yes, now you're catching on! Stephy Auger: ...I can't wait until we're done with this charade. / -- BREAK -- /

Mara Jade Miller vs. Patrick Jones As soon as the bell sounds, Jones rushes across the ring and knocks Miller back with a flying forearm smash! Jones quickly returns to his feet, hits the far ropes, comes back and knocks Miller further back with another flying forearm smash. MJM shakes out the cobwebs while Jones heads to the top turnbuckle. He leaps off for a flying crossbody block, but Miller catches him in mid air before hoisting him up onto their shoulders and countering with a Samoan Drop for a two count! Miller stays in control, turning Jones inside out with a big boot after an irish whip into the ropes! They then reach down and latch onto Jones' throat before yanking him back to his feet and throwing him down with a chokeslam for another two count. Seconds later, Jones gets whipped hard into the corner. He staggers out until Miller throws him down with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker for another two. After a front powerslam brings Jones back down, Miller tries for a powerbomb. As soon as Jones gets lifted onto their shoulders, he hits them with multiple punches across the top of the head. Jones slips down in front and catches Miller with Zoned Out (superkick), but Miller stays on their feet. Jones then nails them with a second Zoned Out! Miller looks to be rocked. Jones throws out a third superkick, only for Miller to catch his foot, swing the leg away from them and drop him down to all fours with a violent knife edge chop across the back of the neck. Jones tries to get back to his feet, but he's quickly knocked down with The Wargasm (Corkscrew Scissor Kick) for the ONE, TWO, THREE! Winners: Mara Jade Miller The Wargasm (3:28)Kris Cruise: Mara Jade Miller defeated Patrick Jones early on in their FGA career in pretty convincing fashion. This was just more of the same. Stephy Auger: The veteran was no match for them. Let's not sugarcoat it. As much as I love Piper Lennon, especially after she stabbed Antoinette in the back earlier this year... Kris Cruise: ... Stephy Auger: ... she might be overmatched being in the ring with The Murder Theytriarch. Kris Cruise: Miller is taller, stronger and hits harder. Getting into a fist fight with them probably wouldn't be the smartest idea. But I'll give Piper this. She's crafty. She's got enough tricks up her sleeve to retain her championship. But we'll have to wait and see if she can survive the challenge of the former champion at Grapland. / -- BREAK -- /

Once again we find ourselves in the backstage interview area where Amanda Johnson is already waiting with a microphone in hand, a smile on her face, and a whole load of information she is ready to impart on y’all
Amanda Johnson: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back as we take a short break from the inring action to remind you that Grapland is right around the corner with a card stacked with matches, chief among them we will see the FGA World tag Team Championships defended as Def Before Dishonor go face-to-face with Silk & Cyanide to determine who the best team in this company is, and joining me right now is one of the teams who will be participating in this match…
At the exact same time Amanda begins her introduction the camera zooms out slightly to reveal that not only is she being flanked by Silk & Cyanide as she is giving her introduction, but once again Sara Mason has taken control of her microphone and is holding it in place for Amanda to speak while Erin Mariani is keeping a very close word on every word, syllable and syntax coming from Amanda’s mouth
Amanda Johnson: …that would be the team of Silk & Cyanide, who have joined me at this moment to discuss regaining their title belts
A beat
Erin Mariani: Go on…
Try as she might to suppress it, Amanda lets out a sigh
Amanda Johnson: Their title belts which are rightfully theirs, and will soon be again
Once again there is a beat, but this time it’s followed by Sara Mason patting Amanda on the head like somebody would a puppy after it performed a simple trick
Sara Mason: You see? That wasn’t so difficult, was it?
Mason goes to hand the microphone back to Amanda…but then changes her mind and pulls it away at the last second
Sara Mason: On second thoughts, Maureen, I’ll be keeping hold of this. Got to leave these things in the hands of professions, you know?
While her tone of voice might sound faux-friendly, the look that Mason is giving Amanda as she says this is clearly telling her to get the hell out of her shot, a suggestion which Amanda doesn’t have to think twice about before she takes the hint – not least because of the look that Mariani is giving her in her peripheral vision that suggests that she’s in the mood for hurting a few people right now
Once Amanda is out of sight and out of mind, with Mason once again sarcastically waving as she gets out of Dodge, Mason passes the mic between her hands for a moment as she picks her words
Sara Mason: Where to begin, where to begin? Oh wait, I have a great idea of where to begin: tonight’s match, where all of a sudden the casual and downright arrogant assumption of some bizarre sense of superiority of those space-occupiers who currently think they might be champions, a claim which is a little difficult since they don’t hold these…
Mason grabs “her” title belt and holds it in front of the camera for about half a second, before casually tossing it aside
Sara Mason: …but the good news for them is we won’t hurt them too badly
A beat
Sara Mason: Oh, we’ll hurt them alright, but the pain and suffering they will experience will be a little aperitif for what we have in mind for them when it comes time to right the natural order, but we don’t want to be too greedy this evening because we want to make sure there’s an itty bitty glimmer of hope in their eyes before we make it official that they can’t keep deluding themselves without something bad happening to them. However…
Without warning, Erin Mariani plucks the microphone out of Mason’s hand, an action she clearly was not expecting to happen
Erin Mariani: …however, tonight isn’t just about applying a little pressure to the bodies of a couple of insects to see how much pressure they are able to withstand when we could finish them at any moment without thinking about it, tonight is about something which was taken from me. I’m sure that one or two of you out there have a vague recollection of the last show, the show where I was supposed to face the Plastic Goddess, and yet…?
All that Mariani can do is theatrically throw out her spare hand in a shrug
Erin Mariani: Nothing
Mariani pauses, which at first appears to be to add some theatricality – but the look in her eyes indicates that she is livid at this
Erin Mariani: For so long I had waited, biding my time, knowing that one day our paths would cross and that day came – only for it to be taken from me. Imagine this for a moment: there was I, waiting for somebody to tell me that it was time for me to take my place behind the curtain and await my cue, and yet that did not happen at any point. At the end of the evening I was still sitting there, dressed and ready for war, and yet I was being told that the show had ended. The disrespect was cutting as nobody thought it worth informing me that the match I had prepared for was no longer going to be taking place
Taking a deep breath, Mariani looks to the ceiling for just a moment, before her head snaps down and she glares directly down the camera lens
Erin Mariani: But tonight I at least have the opportunity to get a taste of what I was looking forward to, and I dare you to take away my match a second time, because if you thought that I was willing to demonstrate who the true Goddess of this company is the last time, wait until you see what happens when I have been given an even greater incentive to demonstrate the difference between a Goddess and a cheap, shallow provocateur who claims to be a goddess but is, in fact, a tawdry heretic. And this is what hurts the most: tonight only offers the sliver of the opportunity that I was supposed to have, and the chances of digging my fingernails into the face of…of…that are greatly reduces as there are far more moving parts. At least I can say that there is a guarantee that whenever I step into the ring there will be somebody who deserves to suffer standing across from me, but will I settle for that? No, NEVER[/b]
The last words out of Mariani’s mouth are less said as hissed, like a fine mist of the most lethal poison, which appears to freak Mason out so much that her hand creeps into frame and she pinches the microphone back out of Mariani’s hand and tries to steer the conversation back on track
Sara Mason: You see, boys and girl, the fact is that the two of us despise the three of you equally, and it’s safe to assume that our temporary partner for this evening’s festivities happens to despise at least one of you too, meaning that there is plenty of incentive all around to hurt you, to embarrass you, to humiliate you – but the fact remains that none of us wants to end you…yet, but that will all come in due time. But as long as somebody actually remembers that we have a match tonight and doesn’t forget about it and hopes that nobody noticed, things are going to work out fine – in that “Worried that you might have to rearrange the matches for the next show” definition of fine because somebody might have gotten a little overzealous this evening, but we have no idea who might do that…
Mason cannot help but side-eye Mariani for the briefest of moments
Sara Mason: But just a reminder to Deaf Dumb & Blind, if they want to get their hands on the titles which they think they own but so clearly don’t, there is only one way that is going to happen: try to get your hands in front of your face before we get up close and personal with your faces. With any luck we’ll leave our mark on you one way or another, and in doing so you’ll leave a little trace of your blood on what is ours. And make no mistake, they’re ours, and you’re just a couple of pieces of meat for us
Without so much as a pause for breath Mason tosses the microphone over her shoulder, causing it to land on one of the interview sofas with an audible thump, and without so much as a goodbye she and Mariani pick up “their” title belts and move on to the next thing – the next thing being this evening’s match.

Kris Cruise: I don't know about you, Stephy, but Antoinette has been acting weird lately. Stephy Auger: Of course she's acting weird. She comes from the Sands family. Her being weird comes with the territory. Kris Cruise: What I'm saying is, it seems like Antoinette is going through a bit of a personality change. Stephy Auger: Well, maybe she finally opened her eyes and realized that hanging out with losers like Ashley Sands and Ashley Marie Chase wasn't exactly the best thing for her career. Maybe she realizes that to get through the likes of Mara Jade Miller and Piper Lennon, she's got to get tough. Who knows, maybe she's even finally starting to listen to the advise of Seth Iser. Kris Cruise: That's the last thing she needs. Stephy Auger: What do you mean? Seth has got a wealth of knowledge. A kid like her would do wonders sitting under his learning tree. Kris Cruise: She hates being called kid. Stephy Auger: Okay, fine. Twerp. Pipsqueak. How's that? Kris Cruise: ...ANYWAYS, Antoinette will be taking on Betsy Gallagher, who along with Lena Galante, was victorious last time out against Travis Levitt and Summer Page. Stephy Auger: Well, Lena isn't going to be there to carry her to a win like last time. As we all know, Summer has a habit of making her presence in Betsy's matches. If "Bitter" Betsy can't keep her focus, then I can see The Insect picking up a win tonight. Betsy Gallagher vs. Antoinette Gallagher looks for a collar-and-elbow to start things off, but Antoinette cuts her off with a spinning back kick to the midsection. Lady Gallagher finds herself getting brought down to the mat with a snapmare before Antoinette follows up with a dropkick to the back of the head for a two count. Antoinette continues her attack, sending Gallagher into the ropes with an irish whip. When Gallagher returns, Antoinette knocks her off her feet with a running dropkick for another two count. Gallagher finds herself on the wrong end of another irish whip. This time, into the corner. Seconds later, Antoinette sends her crumbling out of the corner with a corner dropkick. While Gallagher crawls away from the corner, Antoinette heads to the outside before scaling the turnbuckles. Once Gallagher returns to her feet and turns around, Antoinette knocks her down with a missile dropkick! NO! Gallagher swats her down out of the air! She then grabs a hold of Antoinette on the mat before throwing her down with a deadlift German Suplex for a two count! Gallagher returns the favor, sending Antoinette into the corner. Lady Gallagher rushes in for a running corner European Uppercut, but Antoinette slips out of the way! Gallagher crashes into the corner and stumbles back before Antoinette rolls her up with a schoolboy for a two count. Once both grapplers are back to their feet, Antoinette throws out the Ant-zuigiri (step-up enzuigiri), only for Gallagher to duck and smash her with the Knightmaker (Elbow Smash to the back of the opponent's head) for a two count! Gallagher stays in control as she sets up for a running powerslam. At the last second, Antoinette slips down from behind and pushes her into the ropes. When Gallagher returns, Antoinette knocks her back with a running big boot. Gallagher stumbles back before seesawing off the ropes and turning Antoinette inside out with a Rebound Lariat for a two count! Gallagher finally brings Antoinette down with a running powerslam for another two count. Gallagher then holds Antoinette in place upside down. She then takes one arm away and flexes her bicep before finally falling back to hit the delayed vertical suplex for another two count. Antoinette tries to fight back with a flurry of right hands, but Gallagher is able to knock her down with a European Uppercut. She then sets up for an irish whip until Antoinette reverses. Gallagher returns off the rebound before turning Antoinette inside out with a single leg dropkick. She then pulls Antoinette up from behind and throws out the Queen's Lariat (Wristlock transitioned into a Short-Arm Lariat), but Antoinette ducks and counters with the Sugar Crash (Backstabber) for a two count! Antoinette brings the action into the corner and goes for a Tornado DDT, but Gallagher shoves her off in mid air. Gallagher runs out of the corner with a lariat, but Antoinette knocks her back with a leg lariat before sending Gallagher flying backwards into the corner with a Shotgun Dropkick. She then rushes into the corner and starts running on top of Gallagher with Ant Goes Marching (Running stomps to the chest of a seated opponent in the corner)! After five seconds, Antoinette continues to deliver the running stomps. Another five seconds pass and she still continues the stomps! She finally stops when the ref has to pull her off of Gallagher. But Antoinette slips by the official and heads back into the corner. She then sits Gallagher up on the top turnbuckle before bringing her down with the Ant Hill (Top Rope Frankensteiner)! Antoinette heads right back to the top before twirling throw the air and landing hard across Gallagher's chest with the Rave-A-Round (Corkscrew Moonsault) for the ONE, TWO, THREE! NO! Gallagher gets her knees up in time! After Antoinette bounces off of Gallagher and rolls across the ring, she uses the ropes to pull herself up. Antoinette slowly steps away before getting doubled over with another Knightmaker. Gallagher then brings Antoinette down with the British End (Pumphandle Lift dropped into a Reverse STO) before putting her away with the Betsy Bomb (Sitout Double Underhook Powerbomb) for the ONE, TWO, THREE! Winner: Betsy Gallagher Betsy Bomb (7:36)Kris Cruise: Betsy Gallagher picks up the upset over Antoinette! Stephy Auger: Antoinette was already in a foul mood before. This one might send her over the edge! Kris Cruise: This is huge for Lady Gallagher. She continues to build momentum as she heads into Grapland, where she will finally get Summer Page one on one! Stephy Auger: Gallagher might think she's got home field advantage at Grapland. But I feel like Summer will be able to get the better of her again. Kris Cruise: For Antoinette, this is a tough one to swallow. It was a back and forth match where she was favored. But Betsy was able to counter the Rave-A-Round at the perfect time and it was all downhill from there. Stephy Auger: One could argue it's been going downhill for Antoinette since she lost the Legacy Champion. Kris Cruise: You mean when it was stolen from her by Piper Lennon. Stephy Auger: Whatever. It's been downhill for her ever since. She's got a Legacy Championship match coming up against the winner of Piper and Mara Jade Miller at the Anniversary Show. But with the form she's in right now, I think either one of them could take her. Kris Cruise: That remains to be seen. If we are to believe Antoinette's words, and I have no reason not to, she doesn't care which one of them she gets. She just wants to hurt the both of them and get back what's hers.

The camera fades into the backstage area, where we see Empires United (Betsy Gallagher, El Dragón, & Maria) arguing with each other in front of the Vertigo backdrop. Jessie Pederson is right there with them. Jessie Pederson: Ladies and gentlemen, joining me at this time... Betsy Gallagher, Maria, and Julian— Maria immediately cuts her off with a correction, poking her head from behind the luchador. Maria: EL DRAGÓN! Jessie Pederson: —El Dragón... Empires United! Guys, let me cut to the chase, Betsy and— Jessie catches a glimpse of Maria squinting at her, so she quickly corrects herself even before she can make the mistake again. Jessie Pederson: —El Dragón, you both won your respective matches last week: El Dragón submitting Monty Margolis and Betsy tagging with Lena Galante against Summer Page and Travis Levitt in a winning effort! At Grapland, Betsy will finally go one-on-one with Summer Page, a feud that has slowly gone personal, while El Dragón will get his FGA Pride Championship rematch against the FGA Pride Champion, TJ Techniques. Tonight, however, Antoinette and Seth Iser stand in your individual paths. How are you feeling? Betsy starts to open her mouth but Maria takes the microphone and stares daggers at Jessie. Maria: En primer lugar, Jessie Pederson, si ese es tu nombre real, la semana pasada fue el partido debut de El Dragón en la FGA, así que fue más impresionante de lo que lo dijiste. En segundo lugar, ¿revancha? Esta es la primera oportunidad de título de El Dragón, y Seth Iser sentirá de primera mano por qué El Dragón merece su oportunidad.Betsy looks miffed at the interruption. She starts to open her mouth again, but this time, Julian Tijerina El Dragón cuts her off. El Dragón: Sí, María, tienes razón. Maria is correct. Maria nods her head, moving back, letting El Dragón take center stage, much to Betsy's annoyance. El Dragón: Damas y caballeros, ladies and gentlemen... Last week, I made my debut, submitting Monty Margolis in a stellar match, muy bien, my first ever match in FGA, and tonight, I continue my winning ways against Seth Iser! El Dragón turns to Jessie, then to Maria, and finally to Betsy, who is staring daggers at him. But he is unfazed. El Dragón: Now, Seth is no slouch. He is no easy pickings. Like Monty Margolis, he is a dangerous competitor, skilled and learned... El Dragón raises a finger in the air, shocking Maria, much to Betsy's annoyance...again. El Dragón: But, he is not facing someone who will lose that easily as well, for I am the Masked Pride of Spain, Ellllllllllllll Draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagón, and I will breathe fire on those who stand in my way, in my path, in my goal of becoming the NEW FGA Pride Campeón. Maria cheers him on, jumping on her heels, as Betsy heaves a sigh. But El Dragón is not done. El Dragón: Now, I have never met or faced the current campeón, TJ Techniques, but it is only a matter of time before he learns that revenge is a dish best served... caliente! Maria applauds El Dragón as he finishes his promo, though both Jessie and Betsy look confused at that last part. Jessie Pederson: Wait, if you've never met or faced TJ Techniques, then why are you talking about revenge. Also, isn't revenge a dish best served cold? I don't think cold is caliente in Spanish. Maria is offended by this response and starts yammering at Jessie in Spanish while El Dragón holds her valet by her waist. Betsy shakes her head but it doesn't take long for her to get so annoyed, and frustrated, she steps forward, takes the microphone from Jessie's hand, and takes over the interview, leaving everyone else squabbling behind her while she addresses the camera on her own. Betsy Gallagher: Summer Page... This message is especially for you. Last week, I made you eat a loss, struck your pretty little face and sent you on that mat, 1-2-3! This week, I'm facing Antoinette, but make no mistake: I have not forgotten about you. I will never forget about you. Because at Grapland, you and I have a date, I finally get my hands on you, one-on-one, just you and me, two fighting women who need to settle a score, and trust me when I say, watch my match tonight, love. Because tonight, my apologies to Antoinette but I will make an example out of her. Watch on, Page. What happens in that ring tonight, what I do to Antoinette, I'll do all that and more to you at Grapland. Betsy then turns around to see Maria still chastising Jessie while El Dragón holds his manager back. Betsy rolls her eyes and groans in frustrations before she returns the microphone to Jessie and departs the scene. Seeing this, El Dragón starts to slowly drag Maria out of there while the latter continues to hurl Spanish words at the unfortunate interviewer. Once Empires United disappears from the shot, Jessie realizes the camera is still rolling and tries to awkwardly end the segment on her own. Jessie Pederson: Uhh... Well... There you have it, ladies and gentlemen... Empires United! Betsy Gallagher takes on Antoinette tonight in preparation for her match against Summer Page at Grapland while Jul—El Dragón takes on Seth Iser before he faces FGA Pride Champion TJ Techniques for that title also at Grapland. Wow... The camera focuses on a confused Jessie as it slowly fades to black. / -- BREAK -- /

Kris Cruise: We've got HENNY in action up next as he goes one on one with tag specialist, Liam Richardson! Stephy Auger: This is nothing more than a glorified practice session for HENNY, let's be honest. Kris Cruise: You can't dismiss Liam Richardson like that! Stephy Auger: Sure I can. I just did! Look, Cruise, you said it yourself. "Tag specialist." Last I checked, this is a singles match. Miles Watson won't be standing in that corner waiting for a tag when the action becomes too much for him to handle. Plus, that idiot Gregory Murphy at ringside won't be any help, either. HENNY vs. Liam Richardson As soon as the bell sounds, the crowd erupts with boos when HENNY charges across the ring before turning Richardson inside out with If U Seek HENNY (Busaiku Knee Kick)! The boos continue as HENNY grabs him by the hair and pulls him up to his knees before unloading him multiple shoot kicks. After taking off into the far ropes, HENNY picks up speed before flattening Richardson with a sliding forearm smash to the face! Instead of going for the pin, HENNY delivers several quickfire elbow drops, followed by a jumping elbow drop. HENNY Heartache opts out of another opportunity to go for the pin and, instead, comes crashing down across Richardson with a Jumping Knee Drop. To add insult to injury, HENNY keeps his knee pressed down across Richardson's throat while the ref counts him down. Just as the referee's count is about to reach five, HENNY finally relents. After taking his sweet time dragging Richardson into position, HENNY looks out to his "adoring fans" before heading towards the ropes. He goes for a Lionsault, but Richardson rolls out of the way in time! HENNY easily lands on his feet, though. Richardson scrambles back to a vertical base and rushes over for an attack, but he gets stopped in his tracks with a spinning heel kick. After HENNY yanks him up by the hair, runs into the corner and slams him face-first into the top turnbuckle, Richardson gets turned around before nearly getting his head knocked off with multiple corner European Uppercuts. After a hair toss sends him flying out of the corner, Richardson struggles to get back to his feet... until a running knee lift sends him flipping backwards down to the mat! After HENNY lifts him upside down and drops him on his head with the Malmö Driver ‘91 (Double Underhook Brainbuster), HENNY pulls his dazed opponent to his knees and blows a kiss before crushing him with the Heartache’s Kiss (Kamigoye) for the ONE, TWO, THREE! Winner: HENNY Heartache’s Kiss (3:34)Kris Cruise: HENNY made it look easy out there as he picks up the win. Stephy Auger: ...Yeah, just like I said he would! This was simply one more chance for HENNY to get his reps in before he slaps that old hag Emery Layton straight into retirement! I hope Emery had her bug eyes glued to the screen because what happened tonight will happen to her at Grapland! Kris Cruise: Something tells me that Emery will be putting up a better fight than Richardson did tonight. Stephy Auger: But the end result will remain the same. Remember that.

Spencer Burke: Ladies and gentlemen, the SMWB! There aren't a bunch of theatrics that follow. The sound of someone entering or exiting a Mario Warp Tunnel isn’t heard in the background. Max Powers and Landon Knight simply walk into the picture, dressed in some FGA branded sweat sets. The appearance of the SMWB is met with cheers from the viewing crowd. Max Powers: What was that I heard coming from Hook & Grapple? SMWB starts to snap his fingers in an attempt to jog his memory. Max Powers: Something to the effect that we're nothing but a joke and a disgrace to tag team division? That's funny coming from two guys who interrupted our post match celebration, then went and did a whole bunch of…nothing. What happened, dudes? I thought you were going to show us what real tag team wrestling was? I thought Archibald Collins and his towel boy were going to show us real technical wrestling.?Yet from where I'm standing, I don't see them anywhere to be found. What about you, Landon, do you see them anywhere? Landon olds his hand slightly above his eyebrows before peering down the hall. Landon Knight: Nope, I can't spot 'em at all. What about you, Spencer? Do you see them? Spencer gives Knight a quizzical look. After a quick nudge from Knight, the veteran reporter quickly gets up to speed. Spencer Burke: Oh, right! Spencer tucks his mic under his arm before using his hands to mimic a pair of binoculars. Spencer Burke: I'm afraid I can't find them, either, sir. Max Powers: Look, I get it. You see the name, you see the colors. Automatically, you think to yourselves that you've found an easy pair of guys to go after. These two saw the names Super Mario Wrestling Bros on the roster and that lightbulb went off in their heads. Who better to establish yourselves against then two dorks like Max Powers and Landon Knight. But I've got bad news for you. You didn't pick a pair of easy targets. By my count, there's only one other team in all of FGA that's more accomplished than us, and that's… Max turns his head to the side before touching his stomach. Max Powers: Silk & Cyanide. The mention of the name causing Powers to quickly grow pale. He points his finger to Spencer, asking him to give him a moment. A second or two later, Powers’ cheeks puff out before he quickly covers his mouth. Max Powers: You'll have to excuse me, Spencer. Giving those two credit for, well, anything makes me wanna hurl. Landon Knight: Don't worry, I've got it from here. Those two Dojo Bros think that the SMWB are easy pickings. But they couldn't be further from the truth. What you're looking at, boys, is a pair of MEN that have gone to battle against the best tag teams. You're looking at a pair of MEN that have won the tag belts in every promotion they've called home. You strip away the marketing, you take away the cute tandem names, and what you've got standing before you is one of the best tag teams of the last decade. Knight’s statement is met with cheers from the crowd. Landon Knight: That isn't just a bunch of words, either. That isn't just some baseless claim. It's a factual statement that's been backed up by countless hardware. Hardware that you are lacking in, by the way. Knight points right at the camera. Landon Knight: Now I know that it's been a minute since the SMWB have had gold around their waists. We both admit that. We're tag team wrestlers, so the times that we've been put out there in singles action, things haven't exactly gone our way. We won't hide from that, either. With teams like Silk & Cyanide and Def Before Dishonor, or even Ashes to Ashes, it's easy for the SMWB to get lost in the shuffle. So to that we saw this. It's time that Max and I remind all of you just who in the heck we are. So Archibald and Raymond, how about you two put your money where your big mouths are. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace. You want a fight with the Red n Green Machine? You got it. But for your sakes, you better be as good as advertised, because if you're not? You are about to be in for a rude awakening real, real soon. Max Powers: Level Up / -- BREAK -- /

Kris Cruise: Both grapplers haven't been getting the results that they've wanted as of late. Ashley Marie Chase hasn't seen much success this year in either singles or tag team competition... Stephy Auger: Yeah, that's putting it lightly! Kris Cruise: ...Meanwhile, "Spoiled" Summer, a woman that's used to getting her way, hasn't been getting her way as of late as she's dropped her last two matches. Stephy Auger: Yeah, and each loss was thanks to "Bitter" Betsy Gallagher! Don't you worry though, Cruise. Summer is going to course correct here tonight and she's going to carry that momentum right into Grapland! Ashley Marie Chase vs. Summer Page AMC starts off strong, dropping Page with a pair of clotheslines. After a standing dropkick knocks Page back down to the mat, AMC sets up for an irish whip. Page is quick to reverse, sending AMC into the far ropes. To AMC's credit, she's able to use the momentum to hurl herself across the ring and knock Page down with a diving forearm smash for a two count! Chase brings the action into the corner, where she unloads on Page with corner chest kicks. Page gets sent into the far corner with an irish whip before AMC comes charging across the ring. At the last second, Page counters with a back elbow to the face before following up with a Springboard DDT out of the corner for a two count! Page stays in control, bringing AMC down with a swinging neckbreaker for a two count. A russian leg sweep gets another two count. AMC starts to battle back with punches to the midsection before whipping Page into the ropes. When Page returns, she sees AMC setting up for a back body drop. So Page counters with a face smash into the knee before dropping her with a Chick Kick for another two count! Page then goes to spike AMC with the Sweet & Sassy (Frankensteiner), but AMC counters with a powerbomb for a two count! AMC starts her comeback, dropping Page with another pair of clotheslines. Page ducks the third and throws out another Chick Kick, but AMC ducks and counters with a Scorpion Death Drop for a two count. Page is quick to reverse an irish whip, sending AMC back into the ropes. She goes to catch Chase off the rebound with a clothesline, but AMC ducks under and counters with a Float Over DDT for another two count. AMC brings the action back into the corner and starts delivering more corner chest kicks. After Page gets whipped into the far corner, AMC runs across the ring, connects with a clothesline and goes for a running bulldog out of the corner. At the last second, Page shoves her off into the ropes. When AMC returns, Page stuns her with the Total Knockout (Superkick)! With AMC dazed, Page turns and takes off into the ropes. When she comes back, AMC gives her a taste of her own medicine with the Kick Of Doom (Superkick)! Page remains dazed until AMC hits the far ropes, returns and tackles her down with the Walk of Fame (spear) for the ONE, TWO, THREE! NO! Page gets her shoulder up at the last second! AMC screams at the ref that it was a three count. But the official holds his ground and lets her know that it was only two. After Chase regains her composure, she steps out to the apron before scaling the ropes. Once she gets to the top, she leaps off for It's A Bird, It's A Plane, It's A Chase (High crossbody block), but Page counters with a dropkick in mid air! After bringing AMC back down with the Spoiled Rotten (Backstabber), Page follows up with Pure Perfection (Perfect Plex) for the ONE, TWO, THREE! Winner: Summer Page Pure Perfection (5:20)Kris Cruise: Summer Page gets back in the win column with this victory tonight over AMC! Stephy Auger: It was almost academic, Cruise. Everything went according to plan. Kris Cruise: Everything went according to plan? AMC nearly had her beat! Stephy Auger: Who cares about what "nearly" happened. Let's talk about what DID happen and that was Summer Page righting the wrongs of the last couple of shows and getting her hand raised in victory. Kris Cruise: She did get the job done, I'll give her that. But she better come prepared because at Grapland, she'll be heading into enemy territory!
