"From me and the rest of the GZWA family, we wish you all watching in the arena a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as this is our last broadcast of 2018. Many Superstars and Vixens will be competing tonight for the gift of championship gold, others will be competing to obtain the gift of satisfaction of thrashing their bitter rivals, but at the end of the day, everyone will receive the gift of competition here tonight, one way or another.

From myself and the rest of GZWA Management to the entire GZWA Nation, I would like to thank the hard work that all of the talent that has blessed our ring over the past year. 2018 may be coming to a close but a new horizon is the rise - let's end the year with a bang!"

Queen of Queens Championship Match
“The Apex Goddess” Fujiko Mine © (w/ “The War Princess” Xena) vs. “The Siren Assassin” Amber Torres (w/ “The Ultimate Vixen” Raven)

Prof. X: We’re opening GZWA’s last broadcast of 2018 with the Queen of Queens Championship being defended here tonight as Amber Torres challenges Fujiko Mine in a rematch of sorts from their encounter in the first round of the Reina de Reinas Tres tournament earlier this year.
The Carter: I don’t know who’s going to walk away from this match a winner but it’s always a pleasure to see Fujiko and Xena honor us with their presence here in a GZWA ring.
Francine: Keep the drooling to a minimum, Carter. This is the opening match and we still have a full card to go through without having to send someone out here to clean up your mess on the floor.

As Zoey Valentine made the in-ring introductions, Raven and Amber Torres kept taunting Fujiko Mine while Xena stepped forward, silently warning them to not to try any funny business. Raven, catty as ever, wasn’t standing down from the amazon in front of her. The referee attempts to separate the two but Raven continues to get in Xena’s face with her triade and theatrics, attempting to get a rise out of the Apex Goddess’ best friend. Raven’s act was doing it’s trick as Xena was getting fed up with this woman. That was the opening that Amber was looking for as she stepped out of the ring, armed herself with a steel chair, and slid back into the ring to strike Fujiko from behind as she was moving over the urge Xena to calm down. Xena lunged towards Raven and misses as the Ultimate Vixen slipped between the ropes to exit out to ringside. The referee urged Xena to take her leave from the ring after Amber quickly discards the steel chair outside of the referee’s field of vision. Raven was there to snatch it the foreign object and hide it outside of the ring as her bestie charged straight at the Apex Goddess. Amber connects with the #BYEFELICA (Kinshasa) and covers her.

The Carter: No, no, no. I don’t want to see Fujiko’s title reign end like this!
Prof. X: The Clique came out here tonight with a plan and it looks like the fruits of that labor are about to pay off.

Amber Torres covers Fujiko Mine and urges the official to make the count as Xena is visibly fuming at this turn of events.


ONE…


TWO…


THRE----NO!!!


Amber and Raven standing at ringside are clearly livid at this turn of the events as Xena smiles. Amber went immediately back on offense, connecting with a pair of Running Neckbreakers in succession (A-Town Down) to leave the Apex Goddess remaining on the mat at her feet. Raven stood on the ring apron to cheer her bestie on as Amber took a page out of her playbook to showboat for the crowd and take a bow with Fujiko grounded behind her. Xena circled around the ring and immediately made her way towards Raven. Raven hopped down from the ring apron with haste and found herself being chased around the ring as Xena was in hot pursuit of her prey. Amber found herself mildly entertained at this spectacle but that left her wide open to receive the Inverted Hurracanrana from the waking Apex Goddess. Fujiko isn’t without compassion for her adversary as she helped Amber back to her feet, only to issue a SWAK (Sealed With A Kick - Ground Arm-Pulled Roundhouse Kick) to floor Amber back down to the canvas immediately thereafter. Fujiko repeated this action three times in succession with the Apex Goddess opting for a fourth strike to the Siren Assassin. Unfortunately, Amber was able to evade this SWAK with a MaTrish evasion and rolled her up into a Dirty Pin by using the nearby ropes for leverage.

Francine: Here we go again with the Clique reaching deep within their bag of tricks here tonight.


ONE…


TWO…


THRE---NO!!!


Amber shook her head at Fujiko enduring through another one of her unsavory tactics and poised ready to strike again. She beckoned the Apex Goddess to her feet as she lined up a Spear to her waking prey. Fujiko stood up on shaky legs with her back turned to the incoming Siren Assassin. Fujiko spun around to confront her incoming foe as Amber approached with the Spear, but she found herself stopped flat in her tracks from a Spinning Back Kick to the knees from Fujiko. From here, Fujiko went for the Lucky Shot (Backflip Flash Kick). Amber Torres narrowly avoided the impact as she found herself being pulled in the opposite direction, thanks to Raven on the ring apron. Raven found herself fleeing through the middle of the ring to escape from Xena still in hot pursuit. The referee stood in Xena’s path to block her advance while Amber and Fujiko continued their bout behind the official’s field of vision. Amber charged in with a Running Tornado DDT once Fujiko landed from her failed Lucky Shot attempt. Fujiko met Amber head-on with a Snap Overhead Suplex to counter by throwing Amber into the ropes behind her. Before Fujiko could follow-up on that reversal, Raven snuck back into the ring and connects with a Bitch Kick (Chick Kick) to the Apex Goddess. She slid out of the ring after her unsavory tactic, pleased with herself that she got away with the crime scotfree. Raven’s smiles completely evaporate as she backs up into the full towering Amazonian frame of Xena smashing into her at ringside with the Hotline Boot (Running Big Boot). Xena lifts Raven off the floor with ease and sent her crashing through the commentary table with the Chakram Toss (Border Toss).

Back in the ring, Amber Torres was first to return to her feet as she stood up on the ring apron. She capitalized on Raven’s departing gift with a springboard variation of the Ambercanrana to the waking Apex Goddess into a pin.


ONE…


TWO…


THRE---WAIT!!!


Fujiko powers out of the pin to leave Amber flat on her back and retaliates with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp. Fujiko left Amber clutching her midsection in pain as she went up to the top rope. She took flight with the Apex of Infinity (Spiral Tap | LIMIT BREAK), but Amber manages to roll out of harm’s way to cause Fujiko to crash into nothing but the canvas. Amber lined up her target and raced to make the kill in the form of the #BYEFELICIA (Kinshasa) to the waking Aplex Goddess. Amber closed in to connect with the blow, only to find herself propelled into the air with the MIDA Multi-Tool (Lumbar Check) by Fujiko to respond to this attack. Once again, Amber Torres found herself writhing in pain, but Fujiko Mine wasn’t done with her yet. Fujiko raised Amber to her feet briefly and executed the Ecstasy (Reverse Spike DDT into Dragon Sleeper). Amber looked to Raven laid out among the debris of the broken commentary table as Xena towered over her with her arms folded. It was then that Amber knew that she wasn’t getting any further help in this match. She was out of lifelines and without a phone a friend to pull her out of this jam as Fujiko held her securely in the middle of the ring. Amber promptly tapped out to reward Fujiko Mine the victory of this match via submission.

Ring Announcer | Zoey Valentine: "The winner of this match via submission and STILL your Queen of Queens Champion, Fujiko Mine!!"

Singles Match
“The Diamond” Justin Lockhart vs. “The Crown Prince” Samuel Chatman


The Crown Prince races down the ramp, taking out Casey Angel on the way down the entrance ramp. He wastes no time by entering the ring with a Flying Chuck aimed at Justin Lockhart upon arrival. Justin ducks the kick and capitalizes with bridging Tiger Suplex to start off the match.


ONE…


TW--NO!!


Sam rolls back to his feet and drops a Double Leg Drop to Justin’s midsection before making a pin of his own.


ONE…


TW--NO!!


Sam found himself thrown back into a seated position after Justin powered out of the pin attempt. Justin proceeded to connect with a series of Yes Kicks (Multiple Kicks to the chest) while the live crowd chants “NO!” in protest after the impact of each strike. After the 4th strike, Sam caught Justin’s leg in motion as the crowd chants “YES!” in response as the Crown Prince threw him overhead into a Capture Suplex. Justin Lockhart lands across the ring behind Samuel Chatman. He rolls out onto the ring apron to recover, but Sam wasn’t going to allow him to get off the hook that easily. Justin connects with a rope-assisted Jawbreaker to stun the Crown Prince just as he reached over the ropes, leaving him laying across the middle rope. Justin backs up briefly before returning with a Wrecking Ball Dropkick. The blow leaves Sam on all-fours back in the ring. Justin Lockhart then hurls himself back into the ring with a Slingshot Fame-Asser to smash Sam face-first into the canvas. The self-proclaimed Diamond goes for the win with a cover on the Crown Prince.


ONE…


TWO…


TH---NO!!!


After arguing the count with the official, Justin Lockhart drags Samuel Chatman to his feet for a pending Snapmare Driver. Sam fights back with an Elbow Smash to Justin’s gut and counters the maneuver with a Russian Leg Sweep. Sam follows up with a standing variation the Crown’s Jewel (Shooting Star Press), but Justin rolls out of harm’s way. He held Sam’s head underneath his arm in a side headlock in preparation for an Elevated DDT as he beckoned his foe to his feet, but once again, Sam refuses to give up the ghost. This time, the Crown Prince forces him into the turnbuckle behind him with a Spear into the corner. Sam turns the tables by elevating Justin Lockhart onto the top turnbuckle after delivering a few punches to his head for good measure. Casey Angel stood on the ring apron to distract Sam. Sam naturally removed his focus on Justin Lockhart momentarily to turn towards Casey with a right hook to promptly remove him off the ring apron and out of the equation. This reprieve is what Justin needed to shake off the cobwebs as he came down with a Double Axe Handle from the top rope just as Samuel turned back around. Justin ascends the top rope once more and executes a Missile Dropkick to the waking Crown Prince. Justin found himself crashing into the canvas as Samuel Chatman reacted with the Royal Anarchy (Powerbomb). Samuel knelt down during the execution of the maneuver, pinning Lockart’s shoulders to the mat in a kneeling pin.


ONE…


TWO…


THRE---WHAT!!??


Casey Angel hopped back up onto the ring apron, causing Samuel Chatman to break the pin prematurely. He aimed to remove this annoyance with a Super Kick this time from the ring apron, only to find himself spun around for Lock Crusher (Skull-Crushing Finale). Justin covers Samuel once more as Casey Angel hops down to the ringside floor.


ONE…


TWO…


THREE!!!


Ring Announcer | Zoey Valentine: “The winner of this match is Justin Lockhart!!”

Singles Match
Jaser Cruz vs. “Showstoppin’ Senorita” Mariah


Mariah offers a handshake to her half-brother out of respect for their pending match. Jaser slaps her hand away and held a hand to her face, uttering the words, “Girl Bye!”

Mariah took that as the cue to take matters to strictly a business level as she wrenches his wrist and connects with a Heel Kick to his face. Once floored, Mariah goes for a Standing Moonsault. Jaser rolls out of the way with ease and Mariah lands on her feet, only for Jaser to connect with a STO as he sprung back to his own feet. With the tables turned, Jaser welcomed the waking Showstoppin’ Senorita with a Spinning Chick Kick. Mariah ducks the incoming kick and capitalizes with a Release Tiger Suplex to counter. Jaser staggered up to his feet after landing behind Mariah. Mariah pivots around and charged right Jaser, connecting with a John Woo (Low Ki’s Running Front Dropkick into the corner). Jaser slumps into the corner in response. Mariah followed up with a Handspring Splash towards the corner, but Jaser met her in motion with a Sitout Diving Clothestline to floor the Showstoppin’ Senorita.

Jaser took a moment to look around to the crowd and points directly at Mariah’s friends in the crowd that are sitting on the front row. He held Mariah off the mat within a Sleeper Hold up to face her friends as she fought against the agony of the hold. Mariah closes her eyes and clenched her teeth as she fought tooth and nail against the hold. Mariah slips out of Jaser’s grasp and frees herself with a Reverse Casadora Bulldog to turn the tables in one smooth motion. With Jaser at her feet, Mariah applies a Dragon Sleeper in an attempt to make him feel in the compromising situation that she was in mere moments prior. Jaser wasn’t trapped within the hold for long as he swung out of position with the first Swinging Neckbreaker out of the trifecta in the 3 Amigos. He ends this combination with a Night Slash (Moonlight Drive) before covering the Showstoppin’ Senorita into a pin.


ONE…


TWO…


NO!!!


Jaser stepped out onto the ring apron and launched himself back into the ring with a Springboard Hurracanrana to the waking Showstoppin’ Senorita. Mariah staggers back to her feet as Jaser launched himself back into the ring. Mariah caught her lightweight half-brother out of the air with a Snap Powerbomb and flipped over his body after the impact to secure his shoulders to the mat in a bridging pin.


ONE…


TWO…


T---NO!!!


Mariah brushed her hair from her face after shaking off the cobwebs and sought out to continue her offense. She hit the ropes and returned with a Cartwheel Elbow Drop to the grounded Jaser, only for her half-brother to move out harm’s way. Jaser is quick to return to his feet and capitalizes with the ob-LIT-eration (Leg Drop DDT) as Mariah is attempting to get back up. The Showstoppin’ Senorita wisely rolls out of the ring to the ringside floor to avoid the pending pin. Jaser wasn’t done with her in the least. He followed her out of the ring and struck her back down to the floor with an Aprondive Mounted Spear. Jaser then left Mariah laid out at ringside as he returned to the ring. The referee has no choice but to start the Ring Out count.


1…

4…


5…


6…


7…


8…


After the count of 8, Jaser shook his head and dragged his elder sister back into the ring, saying to the crowd that “He wasn’t going to end this like that…” Jaser helped Mariah to her feet, leaving her on jelly legs as he hit the ropes and returned with the Face-Jam (Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissor transitioned into Kneeling Facebuster). Jaser swung around Mariah’s shoulders stylishly, only to find himself impacting into the canvas as Mariah countered with a desperation Blue Thunder Bomb. Mariah laid back on the canvas, unable to make the pin as she caught her breath as Jaser laid on the mat next to her. Mariah weaky covers Jaser.


ONE…


TWO…


NO!!!


Jaser broke the pin with a seated Front Dropkick. Both Cruz siblings laid there a moment before both kipping back up to their feet in unison. The weariness could be seen written on both competitors’ faces as they stared down. Jaser made the first move in the form of a Super Kick, but Mariah drops down with a breakdance split evasion (R-Truth style) to evade it. As a result, Jaser misses his target and gets hung up on the ropes with his leg going over the top rope. Mariah capitalized on Jaser’s misfortune here with the Vision of Love (Rope-assisted Testdrive). The Showstoppin’ Senorita took to the corner and stomped her foot in preparation for the Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) as the crowd grew excited in anticipation of what was to come in the finale in this battle between siblings.

As the tension in the match was reaching its climax, the crowd in the GZWA Arena began to lose their shit towards the entrance ramp and the unexpected appearance of the self-proclaimed ACE of Spades; Seras Smith Collins.



Smith did not move nor did she eat up the fact that the GZWA faithfuls KNEW who she was, she just stood there in her street clothes and stared down the ring, directly towards Mariah. This drew the attention of not only Mariah but her opposition, who may or may not know the woman standing at the ramp BUT was not going to allow this to deter them.

The Carter: NOW isn’t THIS something! Isn’t that the woman who has been taunting Mariah on social media?
Francine: I mean, yeah, but WHY would she be here and let alone, why did the security allow her to come out to make her presence known?
The Carter: If I were Mariah, I could keep my eyes on the prize and not worrying about a woman who hasn’t jumped froggy yet!
Prof. X: I am not sure, Mariah looks slightly shocked and off her game now, wait a minute!

Mariah stopped mid-stomp and turned her attention towards Seras, beckoning her to come and get some. This hesitation and more importantly, lack of focus, was all that Jaser needed at this stage of the game. He connects with a Jumping Neckbreaker from behind. Mariah shook her head cursing herself as she slowly got up on her knees, only to receive the 2Turnt (Sunset Flip Backstabber) from Jaser. He covers his elder sibling.


ONE…


TWO…


THREE!!!


Ring Announcer | Zoey Valentine: "The winner of this match via pinfall is Jaser Cruz."



Mariah couldn’t do anything but glare at Seras Collins being escorted backstage by security while Jaser stood over her triumphant as the referee held his arm up in victory. It was written all over the Showstoppin’ Senorita’s face - this wasn’t nothing like how she saw this season ending in her eyes.

Singles Match
“The Guru” Danielle Bradley vs. Didgitz (in-ring return)

Danielle Bradley and Didgitz stood across of each other following the in-ring introductions by ring announcer Zoey Valentine and opening bell. The two women stood across from each other in silence. Danielle Bradley broke the silence between them by making the first move in the form of the Pimp Slap to the face of Didgitz. Didgitz reeled back from the blow and immediately fired back with a headbutt to rock Danielle. Didgitz didn’t stop there as she pounced on top of Danielle with a Lou Thesz Press and began assaulting her with punches. Danielle puts her hands up to defend herself from the frontal assault that Didgitz has unleashed upon her, but that doesn’t stop Didgitz’ aggression in the least. In an act of desperation, Danielle grabbed one of Didgitz’ limbs and latched on with a Kimura Lock.

Prof. X: That was a wise decision, given the compromising position that Didgitz forced the Guru into there.
Francine: Didgitz forced her hand by forcing Danielle into the corner with her back against the wall so to speak.

Didgitz isn’t able to break the hold, but she improvises by swinging her most of her lower body underneath the bottom rope to force a rope break. The Guru didn’t let her off the hook after this as she pursued her prey out of the ring. Danielle latched onto Didgitz’ limb with a Double Knee Armbreaker off the ring apron and down to the ringside floor. Didgitz stumbles back to her feet, clutching her ailing limb. Danielle is there to continue targeting that area as she hurls Didgitz shoulder-first into the corner post at ringside. Danielle then rolls Didgitz back into the ring. Didgitz staggers to her feet and quickly charges back towards Danielle coming back into the ring with a Running Yakuza Kick. Danielle remained on the ring apron to avoid this attack and retaliates by applying a rope-hung Cross Armbreaker.

The Carter: Danielle’s pulling out the old tricks for this match.
Prof. X: Danielle may have come out here with one game plan but she can’t deny that Didgitz forced her hand to target her limbs.
Francine: It was a wise choice too, considering her renown striking game. This way Danielle doesn’t have to factor that into the equation of winning this match.

The referee made the illegal hold count as the Guru maintained the hold as she weighed Didgitz’ arm down with her own body weight.


1…


2…


3…


4…


Danielle Bradley releases the hold shortly after the count of 4 while Didgitz fell to her knees in front of the turnbuckle in the corner, clutching her ailing limb. Danielle Bradley walks down the ring apron and steps back into the ring and immediately charges into the corner, connecting with the D-Train (Elijah Express). After Didgitz’ skull bounces off the turnbuckle, Danielle rolls up Didgitz from behind into a pin.


ONE…


TWO…


THR---NO!!!


Danielle shook her head at Didgitz managing to kick out, but went back on offense. She hits the ropes and returns with a Handspring Splash. Didgitz puts her knees up to defend, causing Danielle to bounce off and clutch her midsection in pain. Didgitz unleashes a roar of fury and retaliated with three successful Rolling Snap Suplexes. Danielle staggered back to her feet and fell back on one knee as she looked at the incoming Didgitz with a glare of defiance. Didgitz connected with a Step-Up Enzuigiri, only for Danielle to duck underneath the blow. She stood back up and struck back with a Running Bulldog. Didgitz defied Danielle in her own manner as she shoved her forward into the ropes and caught her off the rebound with a Release German Suplex. Danielle still refuses to stay down as Didgitz hits the ropes. She rebounds from the ropes with a XDT (Springboard Moonsault DDT) to spike Danielle Bradley’s head into the canvas. Didgitz laid back against Danielle’s body and hooked her leg with her good arm.


ONE…


TWO…


THRE---WAIT!!!


The Guru rolls through the pin to focus on Didgitz’ arm with a Surfboard. Danielle releases hold shortly after the referee reminds her that her shoulders are on the mat, but the damage has been done. After Didgitz fell forward onto her knees, Danielle transitions into the first of the trifecta of suplexes in the Dragonforce (Triple Dragon Suplexes). The Guru found herself Judo Hip Tossed over Didgitz’ shoulders after being raised to her feet following the second Dragon Suplex. Didgitz spikes her head-first into the mat with a DDT before Danielle could pick herself back up off the canvas. Didgitz opts for another pin, but she found herself trapped within another Kimura Lock from the Guru.

Francine: Given the focus of that Danielle that made to that limb, we could be looking at the end here in this match as much as I hate to admit it.
Prof. X: Truth be told, Danielle Bradley has been targeting that limb like a lethal predator.

Didgitz swung her body out onto the ring apron again to escape, but Danielle Bradley doesn’t release the hold. Once again, the referee starts the count for the illegal hold.


1…


2…


3…


4…


Danielle complies to the referee’s demands and breaks the hold again while her and Didgitz remained on the ring apron. Danielle motioned to duck back into the ring, but Didgitz connects with a running High Knee to leave the Guru down draped onto the middle rope. Didgitz launched herself back into the ring with a slingshot variation of the 555-Didgitz (Canadian Destroyer). The Guru held onto the ropes to avoid the maneuver. Didgitz spun around to find out what had transpired and found herself floored with a Floatover DDT. Danielle sought out to end this match as she trekked up to the top rope. She then took flight with the D-Bomb (Corkscrew Moonsault) and lands successfully over Didgitz’ body. Danielle then laid back over Didgitz’s body to hook her leg into a pin.


ONE…


TW---WAIT!!!??


Didgitz has applied the Bitch Down (Grounded Tazmission) to the Guru.

Prof. X: They are in the middle of the ring. Danielle Bradley has nowhere to go! What is she going to do get out of this situation?
Francine: That’s going to be the million dollar question here. Either she gets out of this hold or she submits and her aspirations of greatness to end the 2018 season on a strong note go out of the window.

Danielle Bradley is shown fighting against the hold - her body thrashing about, trying to search for the nearest angle to force a rope break, but to no avail as Didgitz isn’t allowing her to go anywhere. Danielle then surprises Didgitz and the GZWA Nation simultaneously as she flips her body over into a bridging pin while Didgitz continued to maintain her hold.

The Carter: Didgitz is the one in a conundrum now. EIther she maintains the hold while her shoulders are pinned to the mat or break the hold and lose her best possible option for victory right now.


ONE…


TWO…


THRE---WHAT!!!??


Didgitz rolled their bodies over and released the hold, but not in the manner that anyone was expecting. She threw Danielle overhead into the corner with a Release Dragon Suplex, only to pivot around and connect with a Running Yakuza Kick shortly after the back of Danielle’s head bounces off the turnbuckle. After the blow, Danielle stumbled forward but refused to allow her body to fall to the mat as she stood face to face with Didgitz. Danielle swung a defiant right hook, but Didgitz ducked underneath her swing and elevated the Guru onto her shoulders. She executes a successful Gimme Dem Didgitz (F5 to Michinoku Driver) and hooks Danielle’s leg upon the impact to the canvas.


ONE…


TWO…


THREE!!!


Ring Announcer | Zoey Valentine: “The winner of this match is Didgitz!!”

Submission Match
“Tattooed Beauty” Laura Jackson vs. Rose Cortez (w/ Amanda Cortez)

As the Tattooed Beauty made way down the entrance ramp, Amanda Cortez and Rose Cortez showed that they didn’t have any qualms about foul play in this match by attacking Laura Jackson from behind on the ring apron, much like on the previous episode of Primetime. To their surprise, the pre-emptive attack backfires as Amanda ends up spearing her own wife into the ring apron after Laura slips out of Rose’s grasp. Laura spun the remorseful Amanda around and performs a Snap Suplex to drop her onto the metallic surface of the bottom of the entrance ramp.

Prof. X: Excuse my French, my dear colleagues, but the Cortez Clan got a first class lesson in the golden rule that payback is a bitch.
Francine: Well said, professor. Shame on the Cortez Clan to play the same trick twice anyway.

Laura left Amanda laying at ringside and turns her attention to Rose attempting to crawl away. The Tattooed Beauty showed no remorse as she Irish whipped Rose into the steel steps with enough force behind it to unhinge them in the process after the impact. Laura then wedged her head between the corner post at ringside and the steel steps. The Tattooed Beauty’s intentions are then made painfully clear as she Super Kicks steel steps into Rose’s skull. The live crowd echoes chants of “Holy shit!” as Laura fishes Rose out of the scene of her crime here and rolled her back into the ring. But before the Tattooed Beauty could join Rose back into the ring, an angry Amanda Cortez spears unsuspecting Laura Jackson through the corner barricade. Both women are left laid out of in within the debris.

Amanda dug herself up first from the debris of the wrecked corner barricade. She fished Laura out of the debris and dragged Laura towards the ring by her hair. Amanda stopped short of the ring and helped Laura to her feet as she positioned them both up onto the ring apron. The self-proclaimed Goddess then flips the Tattooed Beauty off and connects with a kick to the midsection in preparation for the #1 Stunna (Stone Cold Stunner). Things don’t go as how Amanda planned as Laura counters with the Tattoo This (Half Nelson Suplex) off ring apron. With Amanda disposed of, Laura gives a sigh of relief, but that reprieve is short-lived as Rose spears Laura off ring apron to the floor, leaving all three women out of scattered at ringside.

Prof. X: This is hard to watch…
The Carter: It’s like a car wreck. You want to look away but you keep being compelled to watch from the sheer carnage and destruction that these women are putting their bodies through here.
Francine: The greatest irony here is that there hasn’t been much submissions in this match to say that this is a submission match. At the same time, I have to give it up to the Cortez Clan for using the no disqualification stipulation to this match to their favor. They can do whatever they want here as long as Rose forces Laura to submit by the time it’s all said and done.

Rose and Amanda return to their feet and carry Laura Jackson back into the ring. The Tattooed Beauty was down on all-fours as both Rose and Amanda stomping her over her back. They stop their assault briefly to share a laugh at Laura’s current predicament. The couple delivered a pair of seated Super Kicks (Alberto Del Rio-style) to Laura’s face as she remained on all-fours. Laura gets up again, only for Amanda and Rose to serve her another. That blow was enough to leave Laura flat on her back. To the surprise of the Cortez Clan in the ring, the Tattooed Beauty sat up and looked straight at Amanda and Rose with her eyes filled with hatred.

She shouts, “BRING IT, BITCH!! C’MON IS THAT ALL YOU GOT??”

Amanda removes her brass knuckles from hanging around her neck and immediately socks Laura in the jaw. Amanda picks her up by the hair after Laura fell to the mat from the vicious blow, looking to land another blow with the brass knuckles. Blood runs down from out of Laura’s mouth as Amanda smirked in preparation for the next blow. Laura spat her blood into Amanda’s face, blinding her in the process. Laura wasn’t able to catch a break here as Rose quickly charged in and applied the Pretty Poison (Hell’s Gate Submission Hold) to the Tattooed Beauty. Things were looking like the end for the Tattooed Beauty here, but she didn’t allow Rose’s body weight to pull her down to the mat. Instead, the Tattooed Beauty summoned the willpower to stand back up while Rose continue to maintain her grasp, but Laura charges right at Amanda behind them, still wiping the blood from blinding her from earlier. Laura’s tactic pays off by simultaneously ramming Amanda into the corner by using Rose’s body as a battering ram in which forces Rose to involuntarily release her from the Pretty Poison upon impact. Rose stumbles forward out of the corner and walks right into the pending Tampa Driver (Cradle Piledriver) that Laura had waiting for her afterwards. Amanda slumps down to the bottom buckle as the Tattooed Beauty greeted the waking Rose with the Bedtime (Spinning Roundhouse Kick to the ribs) and applied the Nighty-Night (Headlock & Body Scissors Combination). Amanda got back up and swung straight for Laura’s skull with the brass knuckles, but Laura swung Rose’s body around with her body weight to eat the blow instead. The Tattooed Beauty then connects with the Splitting Headcase (Jumping Double Knees to the head) before flooring Amanda with another Tampa Driver. With both women at her feet, the Tattooed Beauty grins before applying an Ankle Lock to both of their ankles. Rose was unresponsive, due to being knocked out cold from the brass knuckles and while Amanda attempted to crawl away, Laura made sure to tickle Amanda’s feet - thus forcing her to submit. The referee names Laura Jackson the winner of this match after Rose is unable to respond to the submission.

Ring Announcer | Zoey Valentine: "As a result of technical knockout and Rose Cortez being unable to respond to the submission, the winner of this match is Laura Jackson!!"



As Laura celebrates her victory with her arm being raised by the official, she found herself blindsided from an attack from behind as Casey Cortez made her presence known. Casey removed her from the canvas and drove her back to it with sickening force as she performed a Jacknife Powerbomb to leave her out cold. Casey scoffs at the unconscious Rose and Amanda at her feet and carries them both onto her shoulders as she exits the ring and heads up the entrance ramp.

Tag Team Turmoil for a Future Shot at the GZWA Tag Team Championship
The Clique (“The Ultimate Vixen” Raven & “The Siren Assassin” Amber Torres) vs. The Mega Busters (Matthew Miles & Psycho Sagus; w/ Ashleigh Cash) vs. The Bradley Clan’s “Dynamo” Jesse Bradley & “The Bouncer” Kris Williams


Raven and Jesse Bradley start off the match as their respective teammates and the Mega Busters stand on the ring apron. Raven waves off Jesse’s boasting, considering her nothing to sneeze at. The Dynamo aims to retort with a Pimp Slap to the face but Raven grabbed her wrist in motion. She shook a finger in disapproval before motioning to discipline her with a Half-Nelson Facebuster before applying the Discipline (Edgecator/Kneeling Inverted Sharpshooter) once she was grounded. Kris WIlliams wasn’t going to stand around and allow this to transpire. He immediately charged into the ring with a Running Big Boot to the Ultimate Vixen. Raven manages to release the hold in time to evade the blow with a Raetrix (MaTrish) evasion. The Bouncer hit the brakes in the corner, but it was the wrong corner to make a pit stop as the Mega Busters greet him with a pair of Jumping Enzuigiris from both sides, sandwiching in-between them in the process. Raven turned around to see what transpired with Kris, only to leave herself wide-open to the pending Jumping Neckbreaker from the waking Jesse Bradley that followed shortly afterward. Jesse then stepped out onto the ring apron to launch herself back into the ring with a Springboard Missile Dropkick. Jesse found her flight plans altered as Amber Torres trips her footing. Jesse tumbles back into the ring, allowing Raven to catch her onto her shoulders with a Samoan Drop. The Ultimate Vixen grins ear to ear like a cheshire cat before covering the Dynamo.


ONE…

NO!!!


Psycho Sagus drags Raven off of Jesse to break the pin and Raven immediately stood up to confront him. Before Sagus could make a move, Ashleigh Cash slid into the ring and stood between the two competitors. She turned back to Raven, connecting with a Spinning Back Kick to the knee, bringing the Ultimate Vixen to her knees. Ashleigh then invites Psycho Sagus to continue their offense. When Sagus went to make his move, Amber Torres intervened with the assist in the form of an Ambercanrana (Top Rope Hurracanrana variation). Amber doesn’t compete the maneuver as Sagus hoisted her up on his shoulders for a pending Powerbomb. Ashleigh made the assist in the form of a Jumping Double Knee Backbreaker to complete this double team combination. Amber rolled out of the ring in response. Jesse wasn’t letting her off the hook that easily as she brushes past Miles on her way out of the ring with a Suicide Dive into the Siren Assassin.

With Matthew Miles now as the legal competitor in the ring, he immediately enters with a Springboard Tornado DDT to Raven still down on her knees. Before he could make the cover, Miles found himself knocked across the ring and into Ashleigh and Sagus as the Bouncer returned to the fight with a Pounce. Both Sagus and Ashleigh rolled out onto the ring apron as Kris elevated Miles into the air and drove him back into the canvas with a Big Body Back Drop. Even though he wasn’t the legal competitor in this match, Kris Williams continued to lay waste to the opposition. He raised the Ultimate Vixen off the mat with a Two Handed Choke, but Raven fell back down to the mat after he released her from his grasp with a Sitout Jawbreaker to leave him stunned from the maneuver. Raven then climbed the top rope, hoping to go a Missile Dropkick. Raven’s flight plans are prevented by Jesse Bradley connecting with a Step-Up Enzuigiri while standing on the ring apron. Jesse Bradley found herself forcefully removed off the ring apron by Homing Sniper (Diving Overcastle) from Ashleigh Cash from the opposite turnbuckle which sends both women crashing to the floor. Raven was already helpless as she laid doubled over on the top turnbuckle, so this already made the Bouncer’s task even easier as he yanked her off from the top buckle with leg whip. She lands onto his shoulders as he transitions into a Sitout Powerbomb to drive the Ultimate Vixen to the mat. After the impact, Sagus stepped over Kris’ shoulders as a step stool to force him to faceplant into the canvas with a standing variation of the Koopa Killer (Diving Double Foot Stomp) to the back of the Bouncer’s head.

Matthew Miles took to the top rope and went for a 450 Splash. Suddenly, the lights go out briefly and come back on to reveal a stranger within the confines of the ring.



Psycho Sagus was immediately frozen with fear. That was Miles’ clue right there that this man had to be his nemesis. Miles went on offense first with a Shooting Star DDT. Nemesis stood his ground and took out Matthew Miles in one fell swoop with a Clothesline from Hell right out of the air. Psycho Sagus snapped back to his senses and stole Zoey Valentine’s chair from ringside and returns back into the ring to attack Nemesis from behind with a steel chair. This monstrous powerhouse is unfazed by the blow. Psycho Sagus could only look on in horror while Nemesis stared him down face-to-face. Nemesis attacked again - this time with a Big Boot to floor the lone Mega Buster. Shortly afterwards, Nemesis drags Sagus between the ropes and performs Jumping Tombstone through table at ringside that was set up by the woman who accompanied this mysterious, yet terrifying force.

The Carter: I recognize her! That’s Andreina D'Costa, but she hasn’t signed a GZWA contract, or has she?
Francine: Don’t ask me. That’s a question for our Interim Chairwoman.

Ashleigh attempts to make the save with a Headscissor Takedown, but Andreina counters with a Big Swing into the cornerpost at ringside. Jesse Bradley stood Miles up on the ring apron to tag herself in before dropping him to leave him with the remaining heap of bodies of the Mega Busters at ringside. Raven stirring to her feet, unaware on what transpired to the Mega Busters is floored with a Springboard variation of the Dynamo Driver (Canadian Destroyer). Jesse motions to make the cover, but Amber launches herself back into the ring for a save in the form of a Diving Ambercanrana. Kris caught her out of the air and drops her on top of Raven’s body. Jesse covers them both.

GZWA Women’s Championship Match
Talia Areano © vs. “The Silver Screen Queen” Crystal Hilton

Prof. X: Up next, we have a rather interesting match-up for the Women’s Championship as two women that have been working together as a tag team known as the Lucha Sisters for the better part of 2018 now find themselves going head to head for the first time for the title. Talia Areano scratched and clawed her way throughout the opposition to be the one of the select few women who have been able to dethrone former Queen of Queens and Women’s title holder, Vi Malkov, over the past year. Crystal Hilton had a similar journey to this point, but ran into roadblock and shortcomings along the way. Now that she found her way back here for another shot at the Women’s Championship, Crystal finds one more roadblock in her way of fulfilling her dream as being champion - her best friend.
Francine: It’s a tough deal for both of these women. They aren’t going to lay down and allow anyone to deny them from seeing their dreams through tonight. Either way it’s going to hard to call a winner in this one, especially knowing how much these ladies have wanted this.
The Carter: You know how the saying goes, the best friends tend to make the best of rivals or even worse, the worst of enemies. This match could potentially cause a rift in their friendship or drastically alter it forever.

Carter’s statement holds weight as this match went underway. There was no handshake or any sort of pleasantries nor Code of Honor to start this match. Both women stood across from the other with strictly business here on their minds. Talia and Crystal engaged into a traditional lock-up. It was looking like Talia was about to gain the upper hand when Crystal knocked her legs out from underneath her with a Leg Sweep. Crystal followed up with the Smell the Roses (Handspring Standing Moonsault). Talia puts her knees up to thwart that maneuver and sprung back to her feet to retaliate with a Running Bulldog. Crystal responded by throwing Talia over the top rope down to the ringside floor. The Silver Screen Queen then followed after Talia with a Springboard Somersault (Seated senton onto a standing opponent outside of the ring, sometimes followed by a hurricanrana). Crystal goes for a Hurracanrana off the ring apron to follow-up but Talia responds with Powerbomb onto that very same ring apron. Talia hastily rolls back into the ring for a pin.


ONE…


TW---NO!!!


After the two count break, Talia went back on offense. She hit the ropes and came back at high speed, connecting with the Rush Hour (Sliding Forearm Smash) -- or so she thought. Talia Areano found herself caught into a Banks Statement-style submission/Crossface. Talia thrashes her body about as she’s trapped within the hold, searching for the means for escape. Crystal continues to wrench the hold tighter as she wants to win this match as badly as her best friend who she has trapped within her grasp. Talia fought tooth and nail against the hold until she inched her body closer and closer to the ropes until she was able to grasp the bottom rope to force a rope break. Crystal complies with the referee to release the hold but that doesn’t stop her from going back on offense. Talia was using the nearby ropes to help her pull herself back up to her feet. Crystal snapmares Talia off the ropes and charges towards the opposite ropes. The Silver Screen Queen returns off the rebound with a Running Dropkick to leave Talia Areano flat on her back. Crystal puts her Hispanic roots and influences on display after stepping out onto the ring apron and executing a picture perfect Eddie Guerrero Slingshot Senton/Tope Atomico. After landing over Talia’s body successfully, Crystal beckons Talia to her feet for what was to come in the form of the Flashing Lights (Chick Kick). The Women’s Champion duck underneath her kick and retaliates with the Slice of Heaven (Sliced Bread #2). Crystal shoves Talia into corner to counter, causing her head to bounce off the turnbuckle in the process. Crystal sprung off the nearby ropes to connect with the That’s A Wrap (Asai Moonsault into a Backstabber) after Talia goes reeling. The Silver Screen Queen goes for the cover.


ONE…


TWO…


THR----NO!!!


After Talia kicked out, Crystal rolled her over and transitioned into an application of The Withering Rose (Elevated Boston Crab). Talia attempts to crawl towards the ropes to force another rope break but Crystal drags her back towards the center of the ring. At this stage of this match, it was telling that Talia’s stamina was leaving her. She wouldn’t last much longer in this hold if she didn’t find a means of escape. Talia rolled her hips and flipped Crystal over into a Sunset Flip to pin Crystal’s shoulders to the mat.


ONE…


TWO…


T---WHAT!!!??


Crystal rolled back out of the pin and back to her feet. From this position, Crystal then connects with a point-blank Flashing Lights to avoid the possible three count.

Talia Areano wisely rolls out onto the ringside floor to avoid another possible pin attempt. Crystal wasn’t letting her friend off the hook. She hastily pursued Talia by diving through the ropes with a Suicide Dive. To her surprise, the Silver Screen Queen found herself stopping mid-flight on her way out of the ring as Talia connecting with a Jumping Enzuigiri to leave Crystal down on her knees in front of the ropes. Talia caught her breath and hopped back onto the ring apron. She scaled the corner post and performed a Ropewalk Soccerball Kick (Fenix style) to floor Crystal to the mat. Talia entered back into the ring with a springboard variation of the Solar Shower (Diving Double Foot Stomp). She fell back onto Crystal to make the cover -- or that was the plan as Crystal vised her legs around her neck. The Silver Screen Queen picked herself off the canvas with a Whirly-Bird Headscissor into a Tilt-a-Whirl DDT to plant Talia head-first into the canvas.

The Silver Screen Queen could sense it - this was going to be her moment. Her time to shine. She took the moment to pose on the top rope in anticipation of the Lights, Camera, Action! (Jack Evans 630 Corkscrew). That short moment of showboating proved to be the window that Talia needed as she connects with a Springboard Enzuigiri to the back of Crystal’s head to leave her doubled over on the top buckle. From here, Talia joined Crystal on the top rope and performed a top rope variation of the Slice of Heaven (Sliced Bread #2). Talia hooked Crystal’s leg to make the cover.

Main Event: Elimination Chamber Match for the GZWA World Championship

GZWA World Champion & GZWA Television Champion Senor Vinnie vs. “King of Highspots” Equinox vs. “The Next Level” Mike Bradley vs. The Doombringer vs. ½ of GZWA Tag Team Champions Knightmare INC’s Jayson Heagerty vs. ½ of GZWA Tag Team Champions Knightmare INC’s Chance Justice

Prof. X: It’s the moment that you’ve all been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen. Up next, we have our main event with the GZWA World Championship and Television Championship being contested within the Elimination Chamber as double reigning champion, Senor Vinnie, is challenged by The Doombringer, Mike Bradley, and the GZWA Tag Team Champions Knightmare INC.
Francine: Someone’s walking out of this match with more than ten pounds of gold, that’s for sure.
The Carter: Even though the GZWA Tag Team titles aren’t up for grabs here, there’s still at least roughly 40-50 pounds of gold going into this match… let alone the two miles worth of chains to construct the fencing for this horrifying structure.



After all of the competitors have made their way to the ring, it’s down to Equinox and Jayson Heagerty start off in this match. The referee holds up both the Television Championship and World Championship to remind the competitors and everyone watching in the venue and around the world on what’s on the line here.

Jayson Heagerty took control of the momentum right off the bat by delivering a series of Knife Edge Chops to the former Television Champion before shooting Equinox into the ropes. Equinox scales up the corner post and comes down with the Rising Revolution (Whisper in the Wind to Eclipse/Corkscrew Flipping Neckbreaker). To Nox’s surprise, Heagerty caught him mid-air and tosses him over the ropes onto the unforgiving steel floor with an Atomic Drop. With the Highspot Hero writhing in pain on the steel floor, Jayson Heagerty hit the ropes on the opposite end of the ring and returned with a Diving 450 Splash to ringside. Unfortunately for Heagerty, he hits nothing but the steel grating. Equinox shook off the pain momentarily and returns to his feet to executes Deadlift Release German Suplex. Jayson lands on his feet and hammers him over the shoulder blades with a standing Double Axe Handle. That proved to be the precursor to what followed afterwards as Heagerty elevated Equinox overhead with a Military Press into the chamber wall fencing. To Heagerty’s surprise, Nox latches onto the chain link fencing like Spider-Man and comes off with Beautiful Disaster Kick (Walk With Equinox). Jayson Heagerty was ready to intercept this maneuver as he caught him out of the air with an Orton Powerslam into a pin to counter onto the steel floor.

After Equinox gets his shoulder up, the timer counts down to reveal the first competitor who will be released from one of the four pods.

Mike Bradley’s pod opens to allow him to be the first competitor to join this match. He points to both the Doombringer and Senor Vinnie in the remaining pods before making his way straight towards Jayson Heagerty. Mike reintroduces himself to Heagerty’s face with a combination of Right hooks. He stops briefly with a backflip before flooring one half of the GZWA Tag Team Champions with a Running Clothesline. At this point, Equinox was staggering back to his feet. Mike wasn’t going to leave Equinox out of the festivities as he served him the same combination. Once Mike closed in with the Running Clothesline, Equinox responds by elevating him over his shoulder with Back Toss to send Mike into the ring. Nox then launched himself back into the ring with a Springboard Wayward Destroyer (Canadian Destroyer) to the waking Next Level. Jayson Heagerty came off the nearby turnbuckle with the Silencer (Starship Pain) as he was fishing for a pin here.


ONE…


TWO…


TH----NO!!!


Jayson slams his fist down on the mat out of frustration while Equinox unknowingly lines up a Diving Double Foot Stomp. Mike shoves Jayson into the way to take the bullet as he was down on all-fours. Equinox makes the cover as the timer counts down to allow another competitor to enter this match after being released from their pod.


ONE…


TWO…


THRE---WAIT!!!!


Equinox found his pinfall broken by force as Chance Justice connects with the Only Need One Chance (Jumping Curb Stomp).

Chance Justice helps his Knightmare INC and better half of the current reigning GZWA Tag Team Champions, Jayson Heagerty, back to his feet and calls for the Pain or Pleasure(Sharpshooter/Crossface combination) on the still recuperating Mike Bradley. Chance applies the Sharpshooter on Mike’s lower body while Jayson locks in the Crossface on Mike’s upper body. The Next Level was definitely in trouble at this stage of this game, but he was about to find help in an unlikely source. Equinox wasn’t looking for allies here in this match, but he was definitely looking for payback as he connects with a Super Kick to Chance’s jaw to break that part of the hold. Chance reels back into the ropes behind him and found himself thrown forward into Equinox’s clutches. The High Spot Hero elevates Chance onto his shoulders, whereas Equinox performs a Cartwheel Death Valley Driver. He drops Chance onto both Mike and Jayson’s grounded bodies to unintentionally break the remaining hold. Once again, Equinox removes his prey from the canvas with a Deadlift German. Much like Heagerty earlier thin this match, Chance Justice lands on his feet behind Equinox and hastily escapes out to ringside. Equinox is in hot pursuit. Without anywhere to go, Chance Justice began scaling up the side of the Chamber.

Equinox chases the fleeing Chance Justice up to the top of the pods. Once he finally got his hands on Chance, Equinox showed no remorse as he tosses him down to the ring below. Equinox then stood up on top of the pod in preparation for the Dark Kingdom (Swanton Bomb). Before he could take flight, Equinox found himself being held at bay by Senor Vinnie pulling at his feet from within the pod below. Mike Bradley wasn’t one to ask for favors from anyone, let alone anyone in this match. He took the opportunity to capitalize on Equinox’s misfortune in this position by executing the Final Boss (Standing Moonsault Side Slam) from the top of the pod. Chance shook off the cobwebs and issued his own form of payback to the High Spot Hero with another Only Need One Chance (Jumping Curb Stomp) to Equinox. Chance Justice quickly made the cover.


ONE…

Ring Announcer | Zoey Valentine: “Equinox has been eliminated!!”

Senor Vinnie’s pod opens up next shortly following the elimination. Equinox is limping towards the open chamber entrance to make his exit until he turns back to Vinnie as he’s gloating at his handiwork. Equinox fires back with a Black Mask Kick to send Senor Vinnie falling into pod. Equinox waves to Vinnie and the GZWA Nation as he makes his exit. Mike Bradley quickly takes advantage of this situation by Spearing Senor Vinnie through the glass in the back of his pod.

Before Mike Bradley could make the cover, something unforeseen transpired as the Cortez Clan (Amanda Cortez, Rose Cortez, and Casey Cortez) all came charging through the open Chamber entrance.

Casey Cortez powerbombs Mike Bradley against one of other empty pods. Rose and Casey stood the Next Level back up and held him into position in front of the glass. Their intentions are made clear as Amanda charged in at full speed with the Fade to Black (The Gore), to send him crashing through the glass pod.

This act didn’t go without consequence as the Elimination Chamber structure is invaded by another faction as the Bradley Clan comes to their leader’s aid. Danielle Bradley, Jesse Bradley, and Kris Williams all enter the Chamber armed with kendo sticks. They assault the Cortez Clan with kendo stick shots in unison. Casey powers through their assault with a Double Clothesline to floor Kris and Danielle. Casey then took all of the kendo sticks and broke them over her knees like twigs. Rose held Jesse at bay for Amanda to close in with another Fade to Black, but the Dynamo moves out of the way. Amanda hits the breaks in time to stop herself from taking out her own wife. Unfortunately, they found themselves knocked out of the open Chamber door as Jesse and Danielle Bradley Super Kick them out of the Chamber in unison. Casey moves to retaliate, but Kris elevates her into the air and connects with the Last One (Pop-up Cutter). The Queen of Submission doesn’t stay down for long, but she’s welcomed back to her feet with a trifecta of Super Kicks from Danielle, Jesse, and Kris in unison to send her tumbling out of the Chamber door and down to the floor to join Rose and Amanda.

Kris Williams and Jesse Bradley stare down with Knightmare INC.

Prof. X: Don’t forget that the Bradley Clan won the #1 Contender spot for a future shot at the GZWA Tag Team titles. As soon as the 2019 season starts, they are at the top of the food chain among names in the conversation out of who is going to challenge Knightmare INC for those tag titles.
Francine: Looks like the Bradleys want to give them a painful reminder of that fact right now.

This meeting between both parties is interrupted by the timer counting down for the final entrant into this match.

The Doombringer enters this match as the last competitor to enter this Chamber with the clear advantage over his peers here. Mike Bradley and Senor Vinnie both laid among the debris and broken glass of their respective pods, while both members of Knightmare INC stood across from the three members of the Bradley Clan. Chance shoves Danielle Bradley towards The Doombringer, who met her with a Running Implant DDT. Kris Williams stomped him repeatedly as he attempted to get back to a vertical base, but a Back Elbow to the jaw allowed the Doombringer to pick up Kris in preparation for a Sidewalk Slam. Jesse made the save in the form of a Super Kick to the Doombringer’s jaw in response. The Doombringer was left reeling against the ropes. Jesse and Kris delivered another pair of Super Kicks to send him out to the ringside floor. Jesse and Kris pull him up to his feet, only for the Doombringer to reel them back in and smash their faces into the steel fencing instead. Danielle Bradley comes diving off the turnbuckle with a Diving Hurracanrana to make the save to her comrades, only to be caught onto the Doombringer’s shoulders. He spun around and steered straight for Jesse and Kris, throwing Danielle Bradley right at them. The Bradley Clan collectively fall out of the ring from the open Chamber entrance. With all of the invaders removed, the Doombringer slams the door shut behind him and looks back at the remaining opposition.

The Carter: I think Rorschach said it best during the Watchmen movie… The Doombringer’s not locked in there with all of them; they are all locked in there with him now!
Francine: Yeah, we might all have to take a rorschach test after what horrors he has in store for them too.

Jayson Heagerty made the pre-emptive strike to the Doombringer with a Springboard Cross Body. The Doombringer caught him out of the air with ease in a Front Fireman’s Carry. Chance Justice races over to Jayson’s aid. He found himself knocked to the floor as the Doombringer used Jayson’s body like a weapon as he performed a Swinging Sidewalk Slam that dropped Jayson onto the unforgiving steel grating. Once Jayson was floored, the Doombringer turned his attention to Chance, who fleed into the nearby empty chamber pod. He escapes out of the opposite side through the broken glass to scale up to the top of the pod. The Doombringer maneuvers around and climbs up to the top of the turnbuckle. He catches Chance by grasping him around the throat and removes him from the top of the pod with a devastating Chokeslam.

Before the Doombringer could capitalize onto the destruction and devastation that he laid onto Knightmare INC, the recovering Senor Vinnie positions himself underneath the Doombringer in the corner and executes an avalanche variation of the Papi Bomb out of the corner. Vinnie dropped the Doombringer to the canvas and doesn’t release his grip as he pins his shoulders in hopes of a pin. Vinnie’s attempt was in vain as the Doombringer responds to this situation by applying Death’s Grip (Hell’s Gate). Senor Vinnie wasn’t going to allow his championships to slip through his fingers that easily. He resists the Doombringer by raising his body off the mat and driving him back down with the intention of a Deadlift Powerbomb. The Doombringer refuses to give up the ghost as he punches at Senor Vinnie’s head. This altercation causes Vinnie to stagger back into the ropes as they both tumble over the ropes and found themselves landing onto the steel grating at ringside. Senor Vinnie is the first one back to his feet after this crash landing. He hoists the Doombringer onto his shoulders, anxious to toss him into the steel fencing like a lawn dart. The Doombringer rakes Vinnie’s eyes and forces him to topple back into the ring. The Doombringer lands on his feet with Vinnie in tow as he unleashes the Tombstone Piledriver. The Doombringer crosses Vinnie’s arms over his chest as he pins him.


ONE…


TWO…


THRE---NO!!!


Vinnie somehow got his shoulder up to prevent the three count. Before the Doombringer could contest the count, he found himself trapped within the Boston Strangler unexpectedly from behind that Mike Bradley applied from out from nowhere. The Next Level added a body scissors to add more pressure and vise the Doombringer’s body down to the mat. The Doombringer thrashes on the mat while Mike Bradley continued to maintain his grip until both men found themselves hit with the Silencer (Starship Pain) from Jayson Heagerty dropping down from the heavens. Heagerty looks to steal the win here by pinning both men.


ONE…


TWO…


THR---NO!!!


Senor Vinnie crawled away from the action within the ring and was looking towards the entrance of the Chamber to make his escape. Chance Justice prevented that option by connecting with the Only Need One Chance (Jumping Curb Stomp), smashing Vinnie’s face directly onto the steel grating once again. Chance looked to dethrone the champ here and now.


ONE…


TWO…


THRE---NO!!!


Both members of Knightmare INC are showing clear signs of frustration after both of their attempts to eliminate the opposition proved to be in vain. Chance wasn’t giving up as he sought out to continue his offense with a Running Bulldog to the waking Vinnie. Vinnie reacted by catching Chance onto his shoulders with an Atomic Drop, dropping him onto the corner post and leaving Chance within a Tree of Woe hanging from ringside. Vinnie wastes no time connecting with a Jumping Guillotine Leg Drop over Chance’s throat. Before Vinnie could proceed further with his offense, Jayson made the save in the form of a Missile Dropkick. Vinnie saw him incoming and caught Heagerty out of the air and dropped him spine-first into the steel railing surrounding the nearest open pod with an explosive Spinebuster. Heagerty screamed in agony upon the impact but Vinnie had no qualms about adding more anguish to his pain as he applied the Rings of Mariachi (Rings of Saturn). Jayson Heagerty’s pain was amplified tenfold, which prompted him to submit to avoid any possible injury.

Ring Announcer | Zoey Valentine: “Jayson Heagerty has been eliminated!!”

The Chamber entrance was opened as Kendall Knight races with two steel chairs in hand. He tosses one to Chance, who quickly hammers it over Vinnie’s spine to force him to release the hold on the already eliminated Jayson Heagerty. Jayson nurses his back, wincing in pain, but he takes the remaining chair from Knight nonetheless. Knightmare INC line up their crosshairs and connect with a Con-Chair-to to the waking Senor Vinnie (despite the fact that he put his hands up to attempt to soften the blows) as Kendall Knight applauds outside of the Chamber structure. They returned to the ring and set their eyes on both the Doombringer and Mike Bradley as they were still laying on the mat from their previous assault. Mike Bradley staggers to his feet first as Chance and Jayson move into position. Both members of Knightmare INC swing their chairs and an audible SMACK is heard as both chairs hit each other while the Next Level commando rolls out of harm’s way. Chance and Jayson drop the chairs in response as the Doombringer capitalizes on the situation with a Double Chokeslam to both men. Mike came down from the top rope with a successful Five Star Frog Splash to Chance Justice and hooks his leg into a pin.

Ring Announcer | Zoey Valentine: “Chance Justice has been eliminated!”

Both Mike Bradley and the Doombringer stare down with each other. Each man knowing well that they are all that stands between them and holding both the GZWA Television and World Championships after Knightmare INC has left Senor Vinnie bleeding like a stuffed pig at ringside. Both men went straight back to business as they traded hooks and body blows. The Doombringer powered through with a Big Boot, only for Mike to baseball slide underneath it and hit the ropes. He rebounds with a Flying Forearm Smash to floor the Deadman. Just as Mike sprung back up to his feet, the Doombringer sat up from the canvas (Undertaker style). Mike pivots around and connects with an Enzuigiri. Mike raised him off the mat with an Inverted Face Lock in preparation for the Brookline Bounce, but the Doombringer shoved him back into the corner. The Doombringer got back up and vaulted into the corner with a Stinger Splash. Mike slid between the ropes to exit the ring and avoid the impact. Mike dove between the ropes with a Suicide Dive into a Spear into the Doombringer’s midsection that transitions into bridging pin after they hit the mat.

The Doombringer rolled over and back to his feet with Mike Bradley in tow as he executes another Tombstone Piledriver. He crosses Mike’s arms over his chest ceremoniously as he made the cover.

Ring Announcer | Zoey Valentine: “Mike Bradley has been eliminated!!”


Only one obstacle stands in the Doombringer’s way on his road to becoming the GZWA World Champion once more and that’s the reigning champion - Senor Vinnie. That final obstacle made his presence known as he hammers a steel chair over the Doombringer’s spine repeatedly after eliminating Mike Bradley. The Doombringer slowly rose back up and turned around to confront Vinnie, only to be floored with another chair shot with a sickening echo from the sheer impact of the blow. Vinnie went to go for another, but he found himself spun around and hit with the Final Boss (Standing Moonsault Side Slam) from the eliminated Mike Bradley. The reeling Doombringer looked confused until he was served the Final Boss as well to leave both remaining competitors laid out in the middle of the ring as Mike Bradley took his leave from the Chamber.

Prof. X: I don’t know what that was about, but it’s down to whoever makes the next move is going to walk away from this match the winner.
Francine: After all that we’ve seen in this match, you don’t just win this match - you SURVIVE it.

Both battle-worn warriors found something deep within their reserves to will their bodies back to a vertical base on shaky footing. The Doombringer surprisingly struck first with a Knee Strike to Senor Vinnie when he fell back down to one knee. Vinnie lunged up to retaliate with a rising Clothesline to fire back at his foe. The Doombringer reeled back into the ropes behind him and rebound off the ropes with a Flying Clothesline. Senor Vinnie rose back to his feet to intercept the Doombringer with a Release Belly to Belly. The Doombringer lands behind Vinnie, who gets up with a Running Elbow Drop just as he sat up from the canvas. The Doombringer rolled out of way and connected with a Big Boot after returning to his feet. The Deadman wasn’t without some compassion for his opponent as he helped Vinnie to his feet. His intentions were made clear as he wrenched his arm as he scaled up to the top rope and performed the Deadman Walking (Old School). When he came down from the ropes, the Doombringer fell right into Vinnie’s clutches as he trapped him within a Bearhug. The Doombringer’s arms are still free, so he hammers over Vinnie’s shoulders repeatedly with standing Double Axe Handles. Vinnie releases the hold and shoulder thrusts him into the corner to retaliate. The Doombringer headbutts him back in response and climbs up to 2nd rope to come down with a Diving Double Axe Handle. Vinnie caught him out of the air into an explosive snap Powerbomb variation of the Papi Bomb. Much like what transpired earlier into this match, Vinnie opts to hold onto the Doombringer’s legs to pin his shoulders to the canvas in a pin. Once again, the Doombringer traps Vinnie within the Death’s Grip (Hell’s Gate). Vinnie attempts to lift the Deadman to break the hold like he did earlier in this match, but that stamina has long left him after everything that has transpired in this match up to this point. As a result, he slumps back down, with signs looking that he was mere moments away from succumbing to this hold. The Doombringer wrenches the hold tighter. Vinnie shifts his weight during this moment, causing the Doombringer’s shoulders to be pinned to the mat as the hold remained locked in while he continues to maintain his grip.


ONE…

Ring Announcer | Zoey Valentine: “The Doombringer has been eliminated!! Your winner and STILL GZWA World and Television Champion, Senor Vinnie!!”



Senor Vinnie crawls towards the entrance of the Chamber and tumbles down to the floor, clutching his two championships while the Doombringer argues the call by the referee within the Chamber structure. The referee's decision stands but the Doombringer didn't have to agree with it as he slam dunked the official to the mat. The last event of GZWA's 2018 season may have ended with Senor Vinnie surviving the Elimination Chamber, but he has hell to pay in 2019...
