(Hey guys, I am really appreciative for people who have been keeping up with this series. I regret to inform that after this episode, I am going to take a hiatus from doing these NWA bookings. I am struggling to remain motivated to book these long term and I have so many other fantasy booking ideas and wrestling articles I want to write about. If you have any fantasy booking recommendations, submit them and if I decide to book them I will credit you in the article. Enjoy the show!)

Chelsea Green w/Piper Niven vs Tiffany Stratton vs Liv Morgan w/Raquel Rodriguez, Inaugural NWA Prime Championship
Before making her entrance, Tiffany Stratton walks past Mercedes Mone. The CEO wishes Stratton good luck and says that she will be watching. It is an evenly contested triple threat to start things off. Stratton backdrops Green to outside but Piper catches her. She does the same to Liv but Raquel catches her. Stratton goes up for a huge diving moonsault from the top rope to all 5 women on the outside! Stratton does well to fight Liv and Green on her own, but a distraction from Raquel allows Liv to take control.
Chelsea stays out of the ring a lot, popping in and out to break pinfalls and take advantage if she can. Both Piper and Raquel keep screwing over each other’s partners, leading to them getting into a brawl on the outside. Tiffany Stratton hits the Prettiest Moonsault on Liv and has the match won, but Green breaks the pin. Chelsea locks in a Black Widow on Stratton, AJ Lee’s finisher, before dropping her with an Unprettier, but Liv breaks the pin. Green continues to taunt AJ Lee, this time she does the sleeping taunt and sets up for a GTS, CM Punk’s (AJ Lee’s husband) finisher.
However, we hear AJ Lee’s music play and she appears on the ramp! She skips down to the ring and Chelsea turns around in shock. She shouts at AJ like a total Karen. AJ just stands there and waves. Chelsea turns around into an Oblivion. Liv Morgan pins Chelsea after 13 minutes and becomes the inaugural NWA Prime Champion. Raquel returns and hoists Liv onto her shoulders in celebration.
Motor City Machine Guns vs Good Brothers, Number 1 Contender Match
These two teams have a standard, back and forth tag match. Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin use their quickness to wear down the powerful Luke Gallows. Karl Anderson gets a nearfall with a detonation kick, but that was the closest they got. The Guns hit Skull & Bones on Anderson and secured a victory after 10 minutes. Charly Caruso interviews Shelley & Sabin. They’re stoked that it has only taken them a month to rise up to number 1 contender status. It is revealed that next week on NWA:WCCW, the MCMGs will challenge the AOP for the Tag Championships.
Zack Sabre Jr (c) vs Ilja Dragunov, NWA Heritage Championship
As per Zack’s rules for the Heritage Championship, 20 minute time limit and submission falls only. The match is incredibly even for the first 5-10 minutes, both men exchanging holds and strikes to try and wear each other down. Zack target’s Ilja’s right arm, his most dominant and the one he uses for his H Bomb finisher. Dragunov returns the favour by wearing down Zack’s legs. Dragunov manages to land a H bomb late in the match, but the punishment his arm has taken has taken its toll. He cannot capitalise, then Zack captures him in a kimura lock. Dragunov grits his teeth and survives the submission until the time expires. The match ends in a 20 minute draw. Zack remains the champion.
Mercedes Mone & Billie Starkz w/The Vendetta vs Athena & Kamille
Mercedes Mone gets a boisterous entrance alongside Billie Starkz. She tells Athena “Lil’ Billie upgraded.” Athena and Mercedes start the match and wrestle to a stalemate. Athena tags in Kamille who looks ready for revenge. Mercedes backs away. Billie Starkz shows her courage and she is eager to be tagged in. She gets in the ring and slaps Kamille across the face before blowing her a kiss. Kamille chases Billie out of the ring but she runs into The Vendetta who block her. Billie Starkz goes for a suicide dive but Kamille catches her and throws her around ringside. Kamille wears down Billie and tags in Athena. Before she can get her hands on her old protege, Starkz runs and tags to Mercedes.
Mone and Athena wrestle back and forth, Billie pulls Athena hair to give her team the advantage. Mone and Starkz beat down Athena, they both trash talk whilst doing so. Athena manages to make a hot tag to Kamille who goes wild. Kamille sets up the Sit-out Powerslam but The Vendetta get involved. Out comes Jordynne Grace to fight the Vendetta. Athena gets her hands on Billie Starkz, she manages to land a few strikes but Mercedes uses her championship to strike Athena. Mercedes hits the Mone Maker and pins Athena after 12 minutes.
Mercedes orders her group to continue the assault. The Vendetta and Billie handcuff Athena and Jordynne Grace to the ropes. Mercedes beats on Kamille, remembering that Kamille threatened to receive evidence of corruption involving the Consortium. Mercedes grabs a chair and wraps it around the neck of Kamille. She stamps on it. Kamille clutches at her neck. Mercedes wants to do it to Athena next, but luckily a bunch of security stop her. The Consortium are escorted out whilst EMTs attend to Kamille.
The Acclaimed
We take a break with a pre-recorded video of The Acclaimed hanging out in a casino. They’re chatting and drinking amongst themselves awaiting Will Hobbs’ arrival. He hopes they are ready for a wild night. We get a montage of The Acclaimed and Will Hobbs partying in Vegas and doing all sorts of crazy stuff. In the morning, their hotel room is absolutely trashed. Max Caster tries to go to the bathroom and notices a straight up tiger is in there and he freaks out. All 3 men run out of the hotel.
CM Punk & FTR vs AOP & Bron Steiner w/Taz & Paul Ellering
This match doesn’t go very long, but it is a straight up war from the start. The 6 men brawl before the bell rings and the action spills outside of the ring. Punk dodges a spear and sends him flying through the corner barricade. CMFTR work over the AOP and nearly get the win. FTR hoists up Rezar for Punk to hit the double knees, a 3-man Shatter Machine but Steiner returns to the match to break things up. We’re left with Punk and Steiner.
They go counter for counter, Punk has him up for the GTS but Ellering grabs at Punk’s foot. He loses his balance and drops Steiner, who rebounds of the ropes and nails Punk with a brutal spear. He locks in the Steiner Recliner and Punk passes out in the hold, just like how he lost in their first encounter. The winners celebrate whilst FTR help a beaten up Punk on the outside.

Eddie Kingston vs Ricky Starks, Unsanctioned match
Both men come out wearing street clothes and sporting a cast on their favoured hand. They throw clubbing fists at each other and they both tumble to the outside. Both men grab a chair each and they duel. Kingston comes out on top so Starks makes a run for it through the crowds. Kingston runs after him. They use whatever objects they can get their hands on. A trash can, a fans chair. Kingston even tries to drown Ricky in a fans’ mega pint of beer.
They go to a technicians area where there are 3 tables set up with equipment on them. They go counter for counter until Starks manages to backdrop Eddie through table 1. Starks trash talks Kingston before suplexing him through table 2. Starks now trash talks the fans too. He goes for table 3, but Eddie counters with a suplex of his own, sending Ricky through table 3. They both make their way back to ringside and Eddie Kingston pulls out a tool box from under the ring. He grabs a wrench and tries to twist at Ricky’s nose, but Starks fights him off. Starks uses the wrench to twist at Eddie’s ear and his fingers. Starks uses a kendo stick and wears it down on Kingston’s back. He rips off the Giants jersey and stamps on it before continuing the onslaught. Kingston refuses to quit.
Starks goes for a chair shot to the head, but Eddie ducks and hits a Northern Lights Bomb! He cannot follow up on it though. Eddie slowly recovers and gets his own kendo stick to wail on Starks. He hits a uraken with his weaker hand but it only gets a 2. Kingston rolls out and exposes the cold concrete below the ring mats. He sets up Starks for a piledriver but Ricky counters and hits a gnarly Alabama Slam. Starks rolls Kingston in and tries Rochambeau but his hand cannot take the weight. He hits Eddie with the spear! 1-2-kick out! Starks is at a loss. He decides to take inspiration from earlier in the night.
The Finish
He tries to wrap a chair around Eddie’s neck, but Kingston fights out. Kingston drops Starks with another Northern Lights Bomb but he is not going for the pin. He rips off the cast from his hand, it appears that his hand has made a full recovery! Kingston rolls out and fetches barbed wire from under the ring. He wraps a load of barbed wire around his fist. He punches Starks a few times with it, drawing blood as well as roars from the crowd. Kingston hits a Barbed Wired Uraken on Starks and pins him. Eddie Kingston wins and seemingly settles his feud with Ricky Starks.
Eddie Kingston slowly makes his way to the entrance ramp to celebrate his big win. He is caught off guard by the NWA World Champion Walter who drops him with a big powerbomb. Walter stands over him with the championship raised above them. “Ladies and Gentlemen, it looks like this is our World Championship match for the next PPV!”
