Venue: Niagara Falls Outlook
Date: March 28th, 2020
State/City: Niagara Falls, New York
(Simon Gotch is getting out of his rental car as he grabs his suitcase from the back and then took out his USPW Hardcore Championship. He searched around making sure no one was near him before he locked the door starting to walk away. However, Corey Allison snuck behind the car and then carried a steel chair running up causing Simon to turn around brandishing the Hardcore Championship. The two wrestlers were stuck in a stand-off trying to find an opening.)
"You honestly didn't expect me to fall for your sneaky tactics, did you?" Simon asked.
"Ah honestly didn't care. Ah'm still kicking yer ass," Corey replied as he tried hitting Simon with the chair, but Simon ducks only to suffer a Spear from Mason Yates.
"No one is leaving champ, but me!" Mason exclaimed as the Canadian punches the head of Corey loads of times, but Simon bashed the lunatic in the head with the title.
(Corey punches the stomach of Simon multiple times and tried for a Lariat, but suffered a kick to the groin from Simon. Simon used the belt to bash the head of the truck driver and tried making an escape, but Jordan Oliver hit a Superkick to the chin making Gotch go on the ground. Kotto Brazil and Myron Reed came in the picture kicking Corey and Mason down. Jordan then got Gotch up, but the Hardcore Champion went low with a fist to the groin making Jordan trip over himself.)
"Fuck!" Jordan screamed.
(Myron and Kotto lifted their attention at Gotch as they chased after the Hardcore Champion with the three fallen victims still recovering from the attack.)

(Beer City Bruiser came through the black curtain as he raises his arms screaming with the crowd cheering before he goes to the left side raising a hand in the air. He wore a sleeveless "BCB" black shirt, black trunks with "BRUISER" on the back in silver lettering with black boots.)
"The following contest is set for one-fall! Introducing first, representing the Bouncers and Ring of Honor, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing 323 lbs., Beer City Bruiser!" Richard announced.
"You can't get enough beer in your system? That's something I can respect about this man, but not the fact he lets himself go," Jericho stated.
"One half of the Bouncers from ROH crossing over tonight for singles action and this guy could become big if he breaks out on his own. He's got the size and muscle to prove himself," Russ stated.
(Beer City Bruiser came down the ramp slapping fives with the fans before he raises an arm once more coming to the steel steps stepping up and going through the ropes.)
("Better Than You" by Mikey Ruckus)
(MJF comes out to a mixed reaction smiling smugly wearing his traditional tan flannel scarf and a red track jacket with MJF on the left side in bold white letters. He wears hot pink trunks with his initials on the back in bold black and white boots as Wardlow comes out in a black suit with a yellow tie. MJF raises his right hand kissing his gold ring before Wardlow takes it.)
"His opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Wardlow, representing All Elite Wrestling, from Plainview, Long Island, New York, weighing 226 lbs., Maxwell Jacob Friedman, MJF!" Richard announced.
"This man oozes personality and he's not afraid to express himself. One of the more perfectionist people in AEW," Hank stated.
"Show some respect why don't you?! He's the future of this business being as young as he is!" Striker exclaimed.
(MJF talked down the fans doing a cheeky wave and then started taking off his jacket to hand off to Wardlow and then his scarf as well. He went up the steps and through the ropes before climbing the upper left closing his eyes and outstretching his hands for effect.)
AEW referee Mike Posey would take over the match as he called for the bell as both men slowly circled one another with MJF walking all cocky-like. Bruiser went for the younger star, but MJF ducked and hit kicks to the knees pounding the fat stomach with rapid fire punches before he kissed his left fist socking Bruiser in the jaw. MJF gets Bruiser into the upper left corner kicking him down in a seated position before backing up taunting to the crowd getting mixed responses before going back hitting a Basement Dropkick in the corner. MJF rolls up getting over to Bruiser before lifting him up hitting a Pumphandle Driver. MJF then grabbed the left arm and locked in Salt of the Earth (Fujiwara Armbar) as he wrenched the arm really hard making Bruiser scream in pain before he used his free hand to tap out.
("Better Than You" by Mikey Ruckus)
"Here is your winner by way of submission, MJF!" Richard announced.
"Well, we couldn't say that Bruiser would last long against this upcoming young man. MJF made that look like a hike," Hank stated.
"Bruiser, for all he's worth, just doesn't have major talent like MJF. He's with All Elite Wrestling and we got the better end of the stick signing him. But he's no Chris Jericho," Jericho added.
(MJF parades around the ring with Wardlow getting in the ring before grabbing his partner's right arm raising for the audience giving out a mixed reaction.)

USPW PRESENTS SHOTGUN SATURDAY NIGHT! THIS SATURDAY 8/7c ON STREAMING SERVICES!
("Stronger" by Kayne West )
(An older Japanese woman came out sporting short black hair wearing a blue leather jacket, a white sports bra with blue straps, blue trunks, white fingerless gloves, orange arm and leg pads, and white boots with orange laces. She looked disapprovingly at the audience as she came down the ramp.)
"The following contest is set for one-fall! Making her way to the ring, from Shiroishi, Japan, Akira Koizumi!" Richard announced.
"Here we have a specialist from Japan on the joshi circuit so she is bound to know a lot of technical and high-flying moves. She is also more about serious business rather than looking flashy," Aubrey stated.
"Akira has wrestled for AJW and another promotion called Toyko Finest Hour Wrestling where she has won multiple tag team titles with her good friend, Carol Barlet," Russ read from his notes.
(Akira sneered at the people booing her as she came down the aisle meaning business heading up the steel steps wiping her boots on the apron and stepping through the ropes. She raises her arms and then crosses them looking rather disgusted.)
("Ride of the Valkyries" by Richard Wagner)
(The crowd went ballistic as Astrid Ostberg comes out in her royal furry red robe and she turns around with her father Lars coming out in his orange muscle t-shirt and holding his back. The crowd cheered for the duo as Astrid heads down the ramp.)
"Her opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Lars Ostberg, from Stavanger, Norway, Astrid Ostberg!" Richard announced.
"Lars coming up short last night against King Randy after suffering a super Drawbridge. You can tell his back is hurting after Randy targeted it throughout their match," Hank stated.
"Cause the geezer shouldn't be wrestling. When will these oldies learn they aren't the toughest guys in the locker room anymore?" Jericho complained.
(Astrid slapped fives with her beloved fans before discarding her robe to her father and flexed her muscles sticking her tongue out a little. She smiled wide running to the steps and up them before heading through the ropes flexing her muscles before settling in the lower left corner.)
The referee for the match is NWA referee Brian Hebner as he kept both women separate before calling for the bell as they started circling one another. Astrid offered a lockup as Akira stuck out her hands before kicking the gut and then locking Astrid in a headlock punching the blonde's face. Akira then kicked Astrid into the upper left corner before backing up warming her left elbow running, but Astrid stuck out her red boot bashing Akira in the face. Astrid then ran hitting a Big Boot knocking down Akira as her father cheered her on and the joshi veteran felt her face. Astrid gets Akira up before hitting a Bodyslam and then posed for cameras flexing. Akira felt her back and huffed a little feeling the effects before Astrid gets the vet up whipping her into the north end ropes before she hit a Scoop Slam.
"Astrid pulling out her old school habits and displaying her strength, but she needs to worry about posing for too long as it could trip her up," Russ stated.
Astrid gets Akira up whipping her into the lower left corner running after her, but Akira stopped herself kicking Astrid back in the gut before climbing the second rope hitting a Diving Stunner to make Astrid stumble a little. Akira then backed up in the corner shooting out with a rough Spear before hooking both legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted as Astrid kicked out quickly after 2.
Akira gets Astrid up by the hair as the ref warns her to watch the hair pulling before Akira hits a Snapmare making Astrid sit up. Akira ran the west end ropes hitting a Dropkick making Astrid cover her chest in pain. Akira drive knees into the back of the tall blonde elbowing the left side three times. Akira then grabs the legs, but Astrid pulls them together pushing Akira into the west end ropes before Astrid gets up hitting a Back Body Drop. Astrid then hyped the fans up clapping before grabbing Akira hitting her own Snapmare and walking forward hitting her right foot into Akira's face. Akira holds her face rolling away.
"Astrid showing off now as she got Akira straight to the nose and I wonder if it's broken," Striker stated.
Akira gets up using the north end ropes as Astrid holds her there making a slicing motion with her right hand hitting a chop to the chest. Akira gritted her teeth hitting a chop back getting Astrid in the upper right corner hitting multiple face punches before backing up taunting the audience before running hitting a Corner Splash to Astrid. Akira then kicks Astrid in the gut before going for the Piledriver, but Akira had difficulty lifting Astrid due to a weight difference between the two as the crowd laughed at the Japanese woman. She told them "Shut up!" before Astrid reversed her with a Back Body Drop. Astrid then grabbed the left leg twisting it into an Ankle Lock sitting down locking Akira into the hold in the middle of the ring. Akira screamed trying to reach for the ropes, but she found herself in a not favorable position before Astrid twitched the leg a little bit down making Akira tap out with both hands causing the bell to ring.
("Ride of the Valkyries" by Richard Wagner)
"Here is your winner by way of submission, Astrid Ostberg!" Richard announced.
"What a fast match as Astrid puts down the legend," Russ stated.
"Astrid knew what buttons to press and she liked having control most of the match after her rough start. She wasted no time locking Akira down when she had her and it gave her a sweet victory," Hank added.
(Astrid releases the hold rolling up to one knee as her father enters the ring clapping for her and raises her hand in victory with the referee doing the same with the other arm. Akira grabs her ankle quickly rolling out of the ring and trying to nurse her wound.)
A figure is seen in a dark hallway walking down with a golden light at the end of a tunnel…
The figure seems to be wearing some kind of robe before bowing their head and hopping in place…
The camera closes in on the right hand of the figure flipping a single gold coin before flicking it…
As the coin crashes on the floor, the figure walks over it and walks down the hall before the camera pans up to their face….
The figure takes a look behind him and reveals himself to be Okada of New Japan Pro-Wrestling…
THE RAINMAKER WILL ARRIVE!
PREPARE!
(After the promo and seeing Okada's face, the fans scream in cheers as one of NJPW's biggest stars has signed with USPW!)
"That's right! Okada has signed over with us as apart of a non-exclusive deal to make several appearances for our promotion. This is one of the biggest grabs we have ever gotten," Hank stated.
"These fans are on their feet cheering their heads off for the Rainmaker. It will be interesting to see how Okada comes in and deals with things," Striker added.
"I haven't really gotten in the ring with Okada myself, but he's got guts and moves knowing how to work around his opponents. This is a guy who took on the best of Japan establishing himself as one of the best of all time," Jericho explained.
"USPW has a working relationship with New Japan Pro-Wrestling and this is something I've been working out for weeks. I've finalized a deal and Okada will be coming to the states more often for now on," Hank added.
"And I'll be waiting for him here. I want him," Jericho stated with a death glare at Hank.
("The Gunfight" by Everet Almond)
(Brandon comes out with Grim and Duhop as the crowd cheers for the young star and he is wearing his normal attire from earlier tonight. Brandon raises both arms stamping his feet on the entrance stage before commencing down the ramp.)
"The following contest is set for one-fall and it is for the USPW United States Championship! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Grim and Duhop of GTS, he is the Bull of GTS, Brandon the Bull!" Richard announced
"This young man won a battle royal featuring only GTS Superstars as Grim sanctioned a chance for the U.S. Title. In Canada, Marcus won his encounter with Ivan, but by DQ and not the title. You have to imagine what's going through his head if Brandon defeats Ivan and becomes champion," Russ explained.
"This junior ain't got a chance! Ivan is a street brawler and has broken men down despite what Marcus has done. Ivan broke that man's arm at Rush Hour," Jericho spat.
(Brandon ran over slapping fives with fans and he fixed his horns grabbing the middle rope hopping on the apron before heading inside the ring. Grim and Duhop clapped and cheered for him outside hyping the crowd up.)
("Farewell of Slavianka" by The Russian Empire)
(Ivan makes his way out to a chorus of boos wearing his Night 1 gear and carrying the prize he puts on the line. He sneers at his loss last night, but put it out of mind making a slow stroll to the ring.)
"His opponent, from Mother Russia, weighing 278 lbs., he is the current USPW United States Champion, Ivan Salkov!" Richard announced.
"Ivan is undefeated ever since making his professional wrestling debut last February and he is carrying that title with upmost pride. A minor setback in Canada, but he is looking to regain momentum tonight," Striker stated.
"The crowd certainly wants Brandon more than Ivan for champion due to a high contrast in approval," Russ added.
(Ivan came to ringside and sat his U.S. Title on the apron and went up the steel steps before asking the ref to hold open the ropes. The referee obliged as Ivan came in and the official for the match is USPW referee Tyrone Regis. Tyrone grabbed the U.S. Title raising it high as it counts as the first title match of the night.)
Brandon meets Ivan in the middle as Tyrone separates both men , but the Bull gets face-to-face with Ivan starting up the Russian talk. The ref separates them yelling at both of them before calling for the bell as Ivan kicked Brandon in the gut elbowing down on Brandon hard getting the bull on his knees. Ivan grabs the head hitting knees to the head and slams Brandon on the mat. Ivan sent elbows down on the back and hammering the bull with axe handles getting Brandon in a front facelock. Brandon lifts Ivan getting the brawler in the upper left corner ramming Ivan straight into the corner. Brandon hits elbow after elbow after elbow to Ivan before backing up going for a Corner Splash, but Ivan sidesteps him and then he hits a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Ivan then locks the left arm in a armbar.
"Straight into a submission for Ivan as Brandon feels the pain so far in this title bout," Russ stated.
Brandon cries out in pain as he smacks his right arm on the canvas balling it into a fist, but he gets the strength from the support in the crowd getting up before putting a knee to Ivan's back. Brandon hammered down on the left leg like Ivan did to his back and whipped Ivan into the east end ropes before hitting a Spinebuster. Ivan gritted his teeth holding his back before Brandon raised his arms to the crowd and turned back to the prize fighter. Ivan gets up socking Brandon in the jaw with a right hook and hit a few shots to the body as well as skipping about. Ivan hit two Side Kicks to the right side and an uppercut to the chin using his MMA experience. Ivan roared taking down Brandon trying to lock in the Kimura Lock, but Brandon lifts Ivan up slamming him in the lower right corner as Grim and Duhop grab both feet. Brandon punches the head a few times before the ref told Grim and Duhop to quit interfering.
"What the hell?! Get those two away from the ring!" Jericho yelled at the referee.
Brandon then whipped Ivan to the other charging hitting a Corner Splash as Ivan held his chest going down the ropes before Brandon whipped Ivan from the west end ropes. Brandon then tried for a Shoulder Tackle, but Ivan met him with one of his own cancelling one another out. Brandon then grabbed Ivan hitting a Sit-Out Chokebomb. Brandon then hooked the right leg.
"1….2…." The ref counted, but Ivan kicked out at 2.6!
Brandon got on one knee shaking his head grabbing Ivan to get up before whipping the Russian into the south end ropes hitting a Sidewalk Slam. He tries hooking the legs, but Ivan catches the left arm of Brandon locking in the Kimura Lock, but Brandon kept his ground as to not give in so early. He made a fist pounding the ring canvas before punching the head of Ivan, but Ivan survived the pain threatening to break the bull's arm. Ivan pushed up on the arm as Brandon started getting weaker, but the fans were keeping his strength alive as the bull shook his head when the ref asked him "Do you give up?"
"The people are behind Brandon. Ivan trying to put that nail in the Cinderella dream for this young kid to get the job done," Hank stated.
Brandon punches the head of Ivan hard trying to get him off as Grim slapped the mat screaming for Brandon to get up. Ivan screamed at the referee to keep asking as he wrenched hard on the left arm weakening Brandon. Brandon decided he had enough rolling through before hooking the legs in a rollup.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Ivan stuck his arm out at 2.6!
This effectively released Brandon as he grabbed his left arm getting to his feet, but Ivan hits a Roundhouse Kick softening Brandon down to one knee. Ivan runs the east end ropes hitting a Bicycle Knee Strike knocking the big man on his back before Ivan hooked the right leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Duhop got up on the apron distracting the referee.
The ref told Duhop to get off as Ivan grew tired of the antics sitting up and screaming Russian at Duhop while the briefcase holder got off the apron. Ivan gets Brandon up whipping him into the lower left corner before running hitting a Running Elbow to the face. Ivan then mocked Brandon wiping his feet like a bull running to hit another elbow to the head and then backed up taunting the boos of the crowd before running again, but Brandon hits a Big Boot. The crowd instantly cheered Brandon while the bull got Ivan up hitting a Bodyslam. Brandon runs the south end ropes beating his chest hitting a Senton Bomb for a comeback. Brandon then gets up getting Ivan up locking in a full nelson before hitting a Full Nelson Suplex sending Ivan to the outside. Brandon then went outside causing the referee to start the count as Brandon knocked Ivan into the guardrail and lifted Ivan to hit Snake Eyes.
"Brandon and Ivan taking this to the outside as the bull is back in the game," Hank stated.
Brandon gets Ivan shoving him back into the ring holding the head out on the apron hitting an elbow down on the nose. Ivan slips back in holding his face before Brandon gets on the apron hollering to the crowd. Brandon heads through the ropes kicking Ivan down running the east end ropes hitting another Senton Bomb. Ivan holds his gut getting hurt as Brandon gets the Russian up before he hits a Snap DDT and Brandon hooked the legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Ivan kicks out at 2.7!
Brandon puts his hands on hips getting Ivan up, but the brawler rapidly sends fists into the stomach before completing with a Headbutt. Ivan then sends a good gut kick making Brandon stumble into the south end ropes. Ivan whips Brandon off them before hitting a Back Body Drop on the big man. Brandon grabs his back in pain before Ivan locks in a Headscissors starting to choke the bull out. Ivan holds the grip good as Brandon sputters under his mask for air and the ref keeps asking, but Brandon manages to say "NO!" through the pain. Ivan grabs the right arm leaning back as Brandon chokes in the hold. The crowd boos as Ivan laughs menacingly through it all loving the pain inflicted.
"Brandon stuck in a stronghold as Ivan manages a headscissors hold along with another armbar and this could be a stoppage before Brandon passes out," Russ stated.
Brandon started to lose consciousness as Grim slapped the apron telling Brandon "Don't fall asleep! Don't you dare!" Ivan choked Brandon more as Brandon wailed his left arm aimlessly trying to get himself to stay awake, but darkness kept fighting him. Brandon's eyes fluttered as he kept fighting sleep with the crowd chanting "BULL! BULL! BULL! BULL! BULL!" over and over again. Ivan flipped them all off causing them to majorly boo the Russian as Brandon fell straight to sleep, but kept his left arm up getting cheered for his willpower. Ivan choked him out more as Brandon was asleep, but the ref couldn't initiate the three count with the left arm still high in the air. Ivan released the hold locking Brandon's left arm in an armbar wrenching hard as Brandon jolted awake before swinging his right arm into the face of Ivan. Brandon was back in the match getting to his feet screaming to the fans.
"It's time for the run of the bull! Brandon is ready for a comeback like no other!" Russ exclaimed.
Brandon started hitting clotheslines repeatedly stopping at four before lifting Ivan in the air hitting a European Uppercut making Ivan fly straight into the upper leftcorner. Brandon whips Ivan into the other corner and stays in the other roaring before running hitting a Spear in the corner at ramming speed! He then raises the hands placing them on Ivan trying for the Sit-Out Chokebomb again, but Ivan tries locking the right arm in a Fujiwara, but Brandon hits an Atomic Drop. Ivan holds his crotch before getting massive hands placed on the shoulders and gets flattened with the Bulldozer (Sit-Out Chokebomb)! Brandon then commenced with the pin.
"1….2….3!" The ref counted as to everyone's shock Brandon won the match in convincing fashion!
("The Gunfight" by Everet Almond)
"Here is your winner and the NEW USPW United States Champion, The Bull of GTS, Brandon the Bull!" Richard announced.
(Brandon gets the biggest pop of the night as Ivan lays in a broken heap not sure what is going on as the ref raises the bull's right hand with Grim and Duhop getting in the ring hugging their superstar.)
"I can't believe this happened! This kid pulled out the stops and brought an end to a reign of tyranny," Russ stated.
"Brandon has done the unthinkable and defeated Ivan Salkov for the first time in USPW. Ivan is not going to like the end result when he is mocked for it on the news sites," Hank added.
(Brandon holds his hands to his head before he is given the United States Championship and a resounding cheer for his efforts as he takes the title in his hands. He then raises it with American pride as streamers are thrown to him with himself turning the title a full 360 degrees.)
(Backstage, Jason is stretching his left leg on a production crate doing some lean-ins with the USPW World Title near him as the former Power Rangers actor put his foot back on the ground looking proud at his title. However, he got on a tap on his shoulder figuring it might be Chris Jericho, but it is actually the AEW World Champion Jon Moxley in his attire from yesterday.)
"Sup, Mr. Green Ranger," Moxley greeted as he sat his championship down near Jason's.
"You must be Jon Moxley. A former WWE superstar and current rug rat in the dumpster fire," Jason replied.
"That's a hell of a thing to say. You almost make me blush," Moxley taunted.
"I know your tricks, Moxley. I don't fully respect someone who feels there is the need for violence, because violence makes a lot of people brash. Violence is nothing neutral and it isn't anything I haven't seen before so far," Jason stated.
"Let me tell you something: while you were acting and playing superhero on Saturday mornings for kiddies, I was making a name for myself long before you ever thought you could step foot in a wrestling ring. I know you have a habit of tapping people out in a steel cage, but you'll be entering a domain of violence one of which I thrive successfully in. You aren't anything special, Jason. I came into a business that wanted nothing to do with me and came back looking like a solid million bucks. I defeated a legend and now I get to sit pretty for once becoming a world renowned badass with a strap of gold to call his own. I don't care much for glitz and glamour, but when it pays off, I got everything I ever wanted," Moxley explained as he motioned towards his championship.
"Don't forget I won a tournament to get through this while you virtually got handed that title when you stood up to the Inner Circle. You aren't destined, Moxley, you're privileged," Jason stated.
"That almost hurts hearing you say that when you are suppose to be filled with honor. But I don't care, because we aren't in Ring of Honor. It's as simple as this. Jericho had something I wanted and I took it full steam ahead to get to where I am right now. Talk about handing things to people, how about you handing another opportunity to Cody? You want to call me out? Well, there's a sour taste of your own medicine," Moxley countered.
"Unlike you, Cody deserved another shot when he pushed me to my limits. He didn't bitch or moan, he worked his ass off and got what he wanted. He got what he deserved. Maybe after…he'll have to start over again, but I wanted to see what limits he could bring me to this time," Jason explained.
"Is that all you see me as? A bitcher? A complainer? Don't get it twisted, I hate what Jericho and his idiot friends did to the kid, but he ain't gonna make it tonight. You got the easy pass. As a matter of fact, you got an easy pass when King Randy pussied out of a match with you. Almost makes me think you are the privileged one," Moxley retorted.
"Me? The privileged one? That's the hypocritical sense talking, Moxley. Luck of the Draw is just around the corner and we got No Holds Barred to look forward to. I look forward to stepping into your domain so I can tear your ass down," Jason stated as he got closer to Moxley's face.
(Moxley fake-kissed Jason as the former actor pulled away in disgust as Moxley grabbed his world title and stared down Jason one more time before leaving the scene.)
"Very strong words by both men and they bring up a lot of good points about one another," Hank stated.
"Jason and Moxley will be facing off at our upcoming Luck of the Draw pay-per-view crossover with All Elite Wrestling to celebrate one year of the company's success. Not to mention last Wednesday on Dynamite, a whole slew of superstars from the USPW locker room interrupted Chris Jericho and Matt Hardy during their final promo. They stood onstage and sent a message to everyone there that we can cross their borders as well," Russ explained.
"Sent a message indeed. Just like I'll give CIMA the message to never mess with my damn company. If he thought the ECW originals were anything bad, just wait till he sees what this old fart has for him," Hank threatened.
"Oh please Hank! You haven't wrestled in three years and you think you're gonna match speed with someone who's a sensation in Asia. You're 67! Keep yourself healthy, because you'll break your hips," Jericho retorted.
("El Carnival" by Salsaloco De Cuba)
(A Hispanic man with slick black hair pulled into a pony tail comes out dancing and doing salsa moves as he sports a nice black mustache. He wears a white buttoned-up dress shirt, black slacks, and black wrestling boots before sauntering to the beat down the ramp.)
"The following is a Phoenix Division 12-man tag team match set for one-fall! Introducing first, from São Paulo, Brazil, weighing 178 lbs., "The Salsa Maker" Jervand Rivera!" Richard announced.
"Getting set for the phoenixes here tonight as we have a former dance instructor here tonight after his multiple appearances on AEW Dark," Russ stated.
"Jervand has lost three matches since before signing with USPW as on various Dark tapings, he has lost to Darby Allin, Jack Evans, and Evil Uno of the Dark Order. He's now well within the Phoenix Division and hopes to make better luck than before," Aubrey stated.
(Jervand slaps fives with everyone as he dances down the ramp to his theme music before rolling into the ring coming up to one knee and gliding a thumb across his chin.)
("Panda" by Desiigner)
(Three men came out all wearing red trunks with "Panda Boys" on the back in gold coloring and white boots with black ribbons hanging off them. One has tan skin and long brown hair while his friends are of American descent with one having blonde hair and the other having short black hair.)
"His partners, weighing in at a total combined weight of 498 lbs., the team of Reggie Bamboo, Clark Stoyser, and Marty Kline, The Panda Boys!" Richard announced.
"Well, here we have the stable known as The Panda Boys with Reggie up front as the leader hailing from South Africa and his partners are his best friends here in America," Russ stated.
"They come from the independent circuit competing in MLW, CZW, BEYOND Wrestling, and even CHIKARA becoming the 2016 King of Trios winners," Striker added.
(Reggie (tan), Marty (blonde), and Clark (black hair) came down the ramp excited for this opportunity as they put their hands together yelling "PANDA!" Before running down rolling into the ring with Marty going on the south side apron putting up two peace signs and Reggie sitting on Clark's shoulders as the leader holds up one peace sign to complete the tri-fecta.)
("The Legend of El Dorado" by Brandon and Derek Fietcher)
(A older Mayan-dressed luchador came out dressed in a feather-covered headdress, blue mask, blue tights with Mayan masks on each leg, and silver boots with white laces as he held up his arms doing an honorable Mayan dance.)
"From San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, weighing 175 lbs., "The Mayan Gatekeeper" Azul Trueno Alma!" Richard announced.
"Here we have a luchador coming over to America and he started his career back in 2008 at the early age of 35 and has been in the ring for 12 years. He has won the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship twice and was a regular with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre where he is a former World Trios Champion and World Middleweight Champion," Russ read from his notes.
"This man is said to have the natural abilities for lucha libre and can move despite his age where he is close to the middle. Most men can't stomach past that age," Hank added.
(Azul finished his dance coming down after honoring the ancient Mayan gods slapping fives with crowd members before heading ringside.)
("Staff Roll" by Mahito Yokota)
(A black man came out with a red Nintendo beanie on wearing a black Pokémon shirt and white trunks with 'Game On' on the back in bold black. He also wore black boots and carried a Nintendo Switch with him as he waved to the people before playing on his console.)
"From Nintendo World in NYC, weighing 170 lbs., he is the Switch Kid, LeRoy Green!" Richard announced.
"This kid is known for his constant playing on his Nintendo Switch and never putting the game down. He is dedicated to this move set," Striker stated,
"This nerd doesn't take the sport seriously then! If he is that bothered to put down the controller and work a fucking match, why is he even here to begin with?" Jericho blasted the gaming wrestler.
(LeRoy played his game down the ramp as he slapped fives with some fans before heading to the south side hopping to sit on the apron playing his game before slipping under the bottom rope rolling on the canvas to continue playing.)
("Party Rock Anthem (Cover)" by Unknown)
(The familiar "Yo's" sounded in the outside arena as boos rained down when two identical twins ran out both wearing sleeveless smiley face pink shirts, black wrestling shorts and boots. They crossed in front of each other as each of their blonde hair was done up in buns before they came down the ramp berating the audience.)
"Their opponents, first, from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, weighing in at a total combined weight of 369 lbs., they are the most hyped team on any social media platform, Chris and Patrick, the Voros Twins!" Richard announced.
"Former ECCW Tag Team Champions and a regular sight if you follow them on Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, and TikTok," Russ stated.
"They have also been on a mainstream independent promotion with Ring of Honor and have signed exclusively with USPW to test their luck against other tag teams in our promotion," Hank added.
("Rock N' Roll Star" by Oasis)
(A British wrestler with long brown hair and blue eyes wearing black trunks with "0161" printed on the back, white boots, aviator sunglasses, and a denim jacket appeared with the crowd booing him knowing him well from the European independents.)
"Their partners, from Manchester, England, weighing 210 lbs., Damian Gallagher!" Richard announced.
"A British wrestler that has made waves where he is from recently showing up in Insane Championship Wrestling and PROGRESS Wrestling along with a few American independents sprinkled in," Aubrey stated.
"Prestige is in the young bloods and they are the sole future of the business. Those glasses are stylish and he wears them proudly for his role," Striker praised.
("I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers)
(A small black-haired young man came out with a New York Giants ball cap backwards on his head wearing a multi-colored fur coat around his shoulders, red tights with a black lace tied at the front, and black boots as he raised one fist while coming down the ramp.)
"From his illustrious mansion located in East Hampton, New York, weighing 156 lbs., "Pretty Boy" Johnny Collins!" Richard announced.
"Here is a recent graduate of the Create-A-Pro Wrestling School located in New York and is one of the most boastful heels out there next to MJF," Russ stated.
"I honestly even heard they were rich buddies," Hank added.
("Bustin Loose" by Audionautix)
(A man with long black hair came out wearing a black shirt with "Success Drive" in red lettering and splotches of red all over the shirt, black tights with three green arrows going up, and maroon boots. A tan man with his black hair in a ponytail came out in the same attire raising his arms with his partner. The crowd gave them a mixed reaction as they came down the ramp.)
"From Surfside Beach, New Jersey, weighing in at a total combined weight of 323 lbs., the team of Johnny Chill and Cronin, representing Enforcement Fighter Wrestling, The Success Drive!" Richard announced.
"These two are also former GTS superstars who never really went anywhere in the promotion until they teamed up in late 2019 on the indies. They are former EFW Battle Tag Team Champions and have picked up notice to get signed to the Phoenix Division," Hank explained.
"Chill is a big Rockers fan so it explains the inspiration for his look, but the team is all about success driving them towards a better future for their careers," Aubrey added.
(The heels gathered at the edge of the ramp on the outside deciding to chill together glaring down the face wrestlers in the ring. The official for the match is AEW referee Mike Posey as he tried to keep the peace telling the heels to come up the steps.)
The Panda Boys were sick of waiting wanting a good start to the match as all three ran the ropes before they all hit Top Con Hilos on all six heels. The crowd cheered very loudly for the move as all three Panda Boys scattered around helping one another up as the referee tried to keep the peace. Reggie grabbed Damian and shoved him straight into the ring as Jervand did a few dance moves indicating he would start with Mike keeping them separate before calling for the bell. Jervand continued dancing while circling the opponent as Damian was sure to keep his distance trying to go in for a lockup, but Jervand always danced and ducked his way out of it. Damian tries for a Spinning Forearm, but Jervand catches the arm up whipping Damian into the west end ropes before Jervand hits a Spinning Heel Kick.
"Jervand showcasing ballroom dancing within his move set and what he has learned through the art form," Hank stated.
Jervand gets Damian up whipping him into the upper right corner going up to the British man hitting a Flying Forearm. Jervand tagged Azul in as the lucha veteran backs up running to hit a Corner Dropkick making Damian go to his knees. Azul then did a cartwheel landing his legs on Damian's head before hitting a Headscissors Takedown into the canvas wowing the crowd into cheering. Azul spreads his hands then did a head bow bringing the hands together. Damian then gets up before Azul tries for a Roundhouse Kick, but Damian dodges hitting a stiff forearm to the head.

Chris whips Azul into the lower left corner before Azul walks out when Chris hits a Shotgun Dropkick in the corner and Patrick hits a kick to Azul's head from the apron getting major boos. Chris grabs Azul tagging in his brother before Patrick runs the south end ropes so the twins can hit a STO/Cutter combo!
"Combo from the Voros Twins as they take down the luchador. Azul is not in a good predicament at the moment being so isolated," Striker stated.
Chris got scolded to get out as Patrick taunted the face wrestlers before getting backed up by Mike and focused on the match. Patrick picks Azul up trying for a Snapmare, but Azul rolls through and then hits an Enzurgiri to Patrick's head making the young vlogger go down on his face. Azul then tags Reggie in as the leader of the Panda Boys got excited heading to the top of his team's corner hyping the crowd up.

"1…2…" The ref counted, but Chris broke the count to save his brother.
Reggie gets Patrick up whipping his young opponent into the south end ropes bending over, but Patrick rolls over the back of Reggie trying for a Superkick, but Reggie does a Matrix-style lean back leaving Patrick to almost fall off balance before Reggie hits his own Superkick into the north end ropes combining with a Northern Lights Suplex. Reggie kips up before hitting a Standing Moonsault on Patrick before hyping up the crowd and his partners except for LeRoy as he was too busy playing on his Switch. Reggie tags Marty in grabbing Patrick up before both men hit a Double Arm DDT on the two as Marty tries for a pin.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Johnny Collins broke the count up.
"Marty trying to get the victory, but the Pretty Boy destroying those dreams and keeping the match from ending too early," Russ observed.
Marty gets Patrick up whipping him into his team's corner, but Patrick lifts himself over Marty as the blonde goes straight into the corner shoulder first. Patrick runs tagging in Johnny Chill as Chill gets in hitting three Dropkicks at once. Chill then hits a German Suplex as the crowd boos him and then he goes to the north side apron waiting for Marty to rise before hitting a Slingshot Cutter turning Marty over for a Standing Shooting Star Press hooking both legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Reggie pushed Chill off his partner.
Chill then pushes hair out of his face getting Marty up by the hair and whipping him into the west end ropes where Collins hit a Roundhouse Kick which got the ref distracted. Cronin then hit a Springboard Dropkick taking down Marty as Chill hits a Standing Moonsault before the ref noticed as Chill hooked the legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Marty kicked out at 2.6!
Chill tags Collins in as Collins gets set up on the top and he jumps hitting an Elbow Drop before hitting another followed by another and then another. Collins then drove knees into the back to the boos from the crowd. Collins taunts to the crowd getting boos mostly and Collins gets up throwing Marty into his corner kicking him down.

Cronin drags Marty to the middle jumping to the lower left corner going for the Moonsault, but Reggie catches Cronin before hitting a Powerslam in the corner causing the referee to tell him to get on the apron.
"Reggie saving his partner and this gives Marty the opening to really come back from the torture he was subjected to," Striker stated.
The face wrestlers held out their hands out hoping for Marty to get some retribution and get to the corner as Cronin slips outside near the ramp. Marty jumps tagging in LeRoy as the gamer comes in playing on his Switch for which the referee snaps his fingers to bring his attention back to the match. LeRoy then asked the ref to hold his console before he ran the east end ropes taking flight to hit a Somersault Plancha to Cronin knocking down his opponent before LeRoy grabs his opponent shuffling him back inside the ring before climbing the lower left corner. Patrick Voros and Johnny Chill went for him, but Azul hits a Springboard Dropkick to Johnny taking him down while LeRoy kicked Patrick off the apron. Chris gets in the ring and covers Cronin so LeRoy can't do anything. The referee starts counting Chris as they start arguing and Clark climbs the turnbuckle before going for a Moonsault on Chris Voros right on top of Cronin! Chris screams in pain rolling out due north as LeRoy hits a 450 Splash on Cronin making the gamer and his adversary hold their guts.
"The phoenixes getting restless as LeRoy gains the momentum in the favor of his team and most of the heels bit the dust outside," Aubrey stated.
LeRoy grabs his game console sitting cross-legged in the middle to play Breath of the Wild and started working the controls. Collins tagged himself in getting in the ring and bringing LeRoy back up as he argues with him taking the Nintendo Switch with a cocky smirk. Leroy then takes it back by force and then Collins swipes it back before getting a kick to the stomach and a Stunner leaving the Switch to fly as Leroy caught it on the way down sitting down to play some more. Collins gets himself up as LeRoy kicks him down more not taking his eyes off the screen and then he backs up letting Azul tag the back to get in. Azul then runs the east end ropes hitting a Hurricarna into the north end ropes as Collins hangs on the middle rope before Azul backs up doing a cartwheel before hitting a Jumping Double Foot Stomp on the back of Collins backflipping off.

"Johnny Chill getting the chance to shine as he is working over the luchador like a good workout," Jericho stated.
Johnny laughed getting Azul up whipping him into the south end ropes before scooping him up for a Backbreaker. Azul screamed grabbing his back before Johnny surfboards it standing on the back with boos filling the crowd. Johnny backflips off kicking Azul down, but the luchador springs his legs around Johnny's neck causing Johnny to lift Azul up and the veteran jumps off hitting an Impaler DDT!

The Voros Twins get in and hoist Reggie up leading him away from the corner as Marty and Clark get in going to hit dual dropkicks to the brothers letting Reggie hop on their shoulders as they caught their friend. However, Chill hits a Flying Spear taking down all three members before rolling up Reggie by the tights.

"Here are your winners...the team of Johnny Chill, Cronin, "Pretty Boy" Johnny Collins, Damian Gallagher and The Voros Twins!" Richard announced.
"Those fucking Voros Twins! Those guys provided a good distraction so Johnny could capitalize," Aubrey complained.
"Coming into an environment where there is more than one man, like that advantage was going to slip their minds," Jericho retorted.
(Johnny runs up the ramp joining his team with the Voros Twins sitting on the ramp and the heels all laughing raising their hands in victory. The faces check on Reggie as the Panda Boys are likely not to forget about this moment eyeing the Twins.)
