("The Japanese Powerhouse" Nakano walks up to the doorway of Greta Mace's locker room. She sees Greta standing in the room preparing for their match by doing her usual stretching. Nakano mumbles to herself.)
Nakano: Time to fully prey on her emotions. No mercy.
(Nakano then takes a couple of steps into the room just inside the doorway and looks right at Greta. Greta sees her and stands up to face her.)
(Nakano starts to speak very firmly with no compassion whatsoever.)
Nakano: I found out the type of cancer your Darren Maddox has and the survival rate for men is only 2%. Do you know what that means or must I come out and say it for you? It means he is going to die. I see he has been out of action very long time. It has been many months. It is only a matter of time before he dies.
Nakano: But of course you being the little fool that you are, you continue to hold onto false hope that your Darren Maddox will survive. You are too weak to accept the truth. You are too weak to handle it, so you tell yourself he will live. But deep down you know he will not.
Greta Mace: You haven't even met Darren! You don't know him at all ! He is a fighter!
(Nakano has a rebuttal to that.)
Nakano: A man can only fight for so long, until he cannot fight no more.
Nakano: He is going to die. It is only a matter of time.
(And with that, Nakano promptly turns and confidently walks out of the locker room. Greta stands there absolutely shaken about what Nakano has just said to her. But Nakano's words stay in Greta's mind and this will only hurt Greta's mental state going into their match tonight.)

(We see Enforcer slowly walking backstage alone down the hallway and he is looking serious as ever as he is fully intending to finally get to the bottom of who has been attacking him. He keeps walking when suddenly from behind, Enforcer is taken down hard to the floor by the hooded individual once again!!)
(The person starts to beat down Enforcer in a vicious attack!! But this time, Enforcer is ready!! Enforcer plans to not let this person get away this time!! Enforcer is now fighting back and grabs the person, gets them up and throws them back first right into the cement wall!! The person crumbles to the floor, then Enforcer quickly goes over to the person and Enforcer rips off the hoodie completely this time and he can now see who it is!!)
Enforcer: ...JACKSON KENT??!!
(Enforcer looks at Jackson Kent with anger in his eyes never seen before. Enforcer lifts up Jackson to his feet and he is holding Jackson roughly by the neck of his black ICW sweater!)
Enforcer: You're gonna give me an explanation right now! Why have you been attacking me??!!
(Jackson slowly starts to grin right at Enforcer.)
Jackson Kent: To throw you off your game before tonight's show to get you off balance and unfocused. A mental game, and it looks like I succeeded because you're all pissed off and upset and all you've had on your mind is finding out who attacked you. Your mind isn't on leading WKW to a victory tonight... Your mind is solely on me!
(Jackson keeps the smart ass smirk on his face.)
(Jackson's words of explanation only make Enforcer even more furious! Enforcer lunges Jackson violently into a nearby steel table as Jackson goes down to the floor and the table falls on top of him!)
(Enforcer goes to Jackson and stands over him, looking as serious as ever.)
Enforcer: You've made the biggest mistake of your life by attacking me and pissing me off. You have no idea what you have got yourself into... But you are about to find out... Because at the next ICW ppv show, you're getting your ass in that ring against ME in a Coffin Match... And I am going to make sure you feel pain like you have never felt before.
Enforcer: You will not survive my Darkness, Jackson Kent.... You will not Rest In Peace... I will make certain of that.
(Enforcer walks away, leaving a very beaten and battered Jackson Kent laying on the floor.)

Greta Mace vs Nakano
Rick Henderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Rick Henderson: Introducing first, from Osaka Japan...."The Japanese Powerhouse" Nakano!
Kumite from the Bloodsport soundtrack and Nakano comes onto the stage looking serious and without stopping, she walks confidently down to the ring, climbs through the ropes, then goes to the corner to await the start of the match.
Rick Henderson: And her opponent, the WKW Women's champion and one half of the WKW Women's tag team champions....Greta Mace!
Spaceman by Bif Naked hits the arena and out comes Greta Mace onto the stage. She walks down the ramp, gets into the ring and waits for the starting bell. She looks sad, not energetic like she usually does.
Harley Meisner: Greta looks down about something.
George Sullivan: I agree, she isn't looking full of energy and ready to fight like she normally does.
Sara Butler: Well I don't think it helped that Nakano had such cruel words for Greta earlier tonight about Darren Maddox not doing well healthwise.
The bell rings!
The two women lock up in the middle of the ring! Greta gains the upper hand with a headlock, then starts punching away at Nakano while holding the lock firmly in! Nakano escapes it however by whipping Greta into the ropes and on the return, Nakano goes for a clothesline but Greta ducks under and answers back with a short arm clothesline! This takes Nakano down to the mat!
Greta starts to kick at the head of Nakano, then gets her up and hits a body slam! Greta follows up with an arm drop right across the throat, then goes for a pin....
1....
Kickout by Nakano!
Sara Butler: Greta was hoping to get this match over with but Nakano won't be beaten that easily.
George Sullivan: The resilience of Nakano is amazing.
Both women get to their feet and now Nakano takes control by grabbing Greta and nailing her with a few powerful knee strikes to the ribs! Greta doubles over and Nakano hits a snap suplex! Nakano gets Greta up and hits a corner powerbomb into the corner of the ring! Greta crumbles to the mat!
Harold Meisner: That had to hurt Greta's back.
Nakano starts to kick at Greta's body while she is still down on the mat. Nakano isn't allowing her to get back up.
Sara Butler: Nakano is ruthless, no doubt about that.
Greta is now moving slow as if she is starting to lose some hope about winning this match tonight. Nakano with a smile now has the control and she gets Greta up and nails her with a hairpull whip! Nakano repeats it a couple more times!
Nakano then hits a double knee facebreaker! She follows that up with a switchblade kick, then begins to lay vicious throat chops to Greta!!
Harley Meisner: My god! Nakano has now taken full control of this match. Greta looks very defeated at this point.
George Sullivan: This is not the Greta Mace we are used to seeing. To be dominated this easily, I think Greta's mind is on Darren Maddox and not on this match.
Sara Butler: I agree with you George. Greta clearly is not focused at all for this match against a powerhouse like Nakano.
Nakano sees that Greta is barely fighting back at this point and she decides it is time to finish the match.
Nakano hits the Nenbutsu Powerbomb!!
With a confident smile, Nakano makes the pin!
1.....
2.....
3!!
Rick Henderson: The winner of this match.... NAKANO!!
Nakano is looking dominant and confident! She yells out to the fans who are booing her!
Nakano: I told you she could not beat me!! I dominated her easily!! She was no challenge!!
Nakano leaves the ring and walks up the ramp quickly and confidently and goes into the back.

TJ Alexander vs. Mutumbo
“Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is scheduled for one fall and is a non-title match. First, he comes from London in the United Kingdom, he weighs in at 188 pounds, he is TJ Alexander!”
The stage fills with white smoke as "Demi-Gods" By Lab-Rats and Slim J play over the PA system and as the white smoke fills the stage, TJ Alexander steps in the white smoke and kneels before leaping out of the white smoke and heads towards the ring, he climbs the turnbuckle from the apron poses for a few seconds and climbs in the ring and then back on the turnbuckle again to taunt the fans
“And his opponent, he comes from Uganda, Africa, and weighs in at 400 pounds, he is the current WKW Great American champion, Mutumbo!”
Slow flashing lights of Yellow and green hits the arena while his music hits, wearing black long pants, black boots and black tape wrapped on his hands. walking down the ramp showing no emotion towards any fans and his opponent, instead focused, looking at his opponent then gets on the ring to stare down his opponent with a cold look.
Ding Ding Ding!
Mutumbo and TJ circle each other, they go to tie up, but TJ uses his speed to get behind Mutumbo and hit him with a dropkick to the back of his thigh, Mutumbo looks more bothered then hurt, and goes to hit TJ with a clothesline, but TJ ducks and hits him with another dropkick, this time to the side of the knee, Mutumbo stumbles a little, but stays on his feet, a look of anger on his face. TJ rushes in, but Mutumbo intercepts him with a hand to the throat, TJ tries to break the choke, but Mutumbo’s grip is too strong, until finally TJ uses both hands in a double axe handle to Mutumbo’s forearm. Then he follows this up with a heel trip, but Mutumbo doesn’t go down, instead he reaches down and lifts TJ back to his feet with both hands, he then pulls him up off his feet with his hands on TJ’s throat, throwing him down to the mat contempuously. He pins him.
Referee:
1…
2….
Kickout!
Mutumbo pulls TJ back to his feet and puts him in an abdominal stretch, pulling one leg up for extra leverage, TJ takes his free hand and starts smashing it into Mutumbo’s knee, making him change his stance enough for TJ to roll out of it, then hit Mutumbo with another dropkick to Mutumbo’s knee, this time bringing him down to one knee, when he was down, TJ hit him with a dropkick to the chest. This knocks him on his back and TJ hits him with a standing shooting star press. Then he pins him.
Referee:
1…
Kickout!
TJ gets down on Mutumbo’s knee, kicking and hitting it with knee drops, then puts him in a spinning toe hold, Mutumbo does his best to get out of it, finally kicking TJ off with his other leg, but the offense seems to work, because when Mutumbo gets back to his feet, he is limping badly. TJ comes in quickly, taking that leg, but Mutumbo hits him with a clubbing forearm to the back, TJ releases the leg, and when he rushes back in, Mutumbo hits him with a big boot, but falls on his butt because of how bad his other leg is hurt. TJ is seemingly out and Mutumbo crawls over to him to pin him.
Referee:
1…
2….
Kickout!
Mutumbo looks frustrated, and brings TJ up by his hair, slapping him in the face, TJ fires up and ducks the next slap, hitting him with a kick to the back of his knee, then another, finally hitting him with a shining wizard when Mutumbo got down on one knee. He hits him with a lightning fast leg drop, then got right up, he says that he’s going to the top rope and does, hits Mutumbo with a 450 splash, and pins him.
Referee:
1…
2….
…3!
“The winner of this match, TJ Alexander!”

Inner Pinnacle vs Gracie Lopez & Jenn Makarios-Lopez
(The Pinnacle theme music hits while all five men show up on the stage looking cocky and the arena is being drained by the boos from the fans. All five men taking their time walking down the ramp then smirking towards the fan before getting on the ring. While getting on the ring, all five men lined up by smirking again then raised their hands to taunt.)
Rick Henderson: Representing the Inner Pinnacle, Ian and Adrian Johnstone!
George Sullivan: These 2 are looking to bring a huge win to the WKW side.
Harley Meisner: But that won’t happen now will it? Look, Gracie is our world champion and I don’t think she’s going to lose to someone like them.
Sara Butler: The question is, is she healed up from the match she had outside of this company.
Harley Meisner: I don’t care if she is or not. She and Jenn better win. Show these yahoo’s who is boss.
George Sullivan: This team is looking to pray on a Gracie then if she’s not 100 percent.
("hey you" by Disturbed starts playing on the PA systems, Jenn makes her way from the back. She stands on the stage for a few seconds with a smile on her face, looking over the crowd. She starts walking down the ramp with confidence. While doing so, she high fives a few fans that are sitting in the front row, and people that are stretching their arms for a high five. She climbs into the ring and waits.)
Rick Henderson: From Sydney Australia, Jenn Makarios-Lopez!
George Sullivan: She’s had a good 2022, but can that move over into this year? I think it will. She’s in the peak of her career right now. I think she’s gonna do big things here.
Harley Meisner: I think she will too. So i can’t wait to see her do exciting things.
Sara Butler: Notice how they’re coming out separately here? They’ve never done that before.
(The lights in the arena go out, as Def Leppard's “kick” starts to play as the crowd cheers as Gracie walks on stage. Pyro sprays across the stage and around the videoboard as she walks down the ramp. While walking down the ramp, she high fives some fans in the front row before rolling into the ring. She leaps up on the ring ropes and pyro sprays around the lighting rig above her as the crowd cheers for her again.)
Rick Henderson: From LA, and the world champion of ICW, Gracie Lopez!
George Sullivan: Gracie hasn’t been seen on our programming since before christmas, do you think she has ring rust?
Harley Meisner: No way, everyone knows she wrestles around the world. I think she’s ready for this match and she’s prepared.
Sara Butler: That’s great and all but i don’t think she’ll be on top of her game. I think ring rust will play part in this but I guess time will tell if that happens or not.
(As soon as the bell rings, Gracie knocks Ian down on his ass and he rolls out of the ring as quickly as he fell to the canvas. As if he doesn’t want a part of her, he stands holding the side of his face next to Adrian who is perplexed by what he just saw. As he checks out his brother, Gracie runs the ropes and leaps to the 2nd rope and pretends like she’s gonna jump over it. It was enough to spook the brothers. They look at her as she stands on the 2nd rope with a smile on her face.)
George Sullivan: Mind games?
Harley Meisner: Gracie has become the master of mind games and she’s really playing to her strength here and the Johnstones can’t figure out what to do yet.
(The Johnstones wave to the ring as if they want nothing to do with them and start walking up the ramp. The Renegades Elite, or the Lopez or whatever they want to call themselves for the show start racing up the ramp after them and a brawl takes place. All 4 of them start fighting on stage before Gracie takes a walk with Ian down the ramp back toward ringside. Ian thumbs Gracie in the eye to get away from her, but that only angers her as she follows Ian around ringside. She catches up with him and slams him face-first into the announce table.)
Sara Butler: Gracie is not a person to play with right now, she’s in a mood. I saw it in her eyes.
George Sullivan: That means a bad day at the office for the brothers.
(Once the match settles down into a one-on-one match, Gracie and Ian are in the ring going back and forth with each other. Gracie starts to gain momentum with every strike she does. As she does the match moves in a fast-paced way because of her style and the way she uses the ring to her advantage, including springboarding off the ropes as if they were toys. After a while, Ian manages to slow her down by working over her leg before tagging in Adrian. Adrian does the same thing for the time being.)
Harley Meisner: That’s how you keep Gracie grounded, you take out her legs and she has nothing to work with.
George Sullivan: She has a strong base and she only stays grounded for so long. Look at Jenn she’s pacing on the apron looking to get in here, she’s like a caged animal.
(Gracie kicks Adrian off before taking in Jenn. Jenn comes in like a house of fire knocking over Adrian before knocking Ian off the apron. Adrian gets up and gets met with a high back body drop by Jenn and he rolls outside of the ring after that, That’s where Gracie comes back into the ring and dives through the ropes with a suicide dive! The crowd starts chanting Jenn’s name, they want HER to do a diving move she shrugs her shoulders and runs the ropes, and she does a diving move of her own! Everyone is down at ringside.)
George Sullivan: Did Jenn just….
Sara Butler: She did! It’s rare that we see her do that but it’s amazing to see when she does that!
(Jenn throws Adrian into the ring as the 2 legal people are back in. Adrian was quick on his feet and jumps on Jenn and keeps her grounded. Doesn’t take long before Ian starts to get involved as well and the match never really goes back to being one on one after this as all 4 wrestlers start fighting their respective enemies. After attacking 2 on 1 for a while, Gracie pulls Ian outside of the ring and posts him face first in the ring post before throwing him OVER the announce table and pinning him with the table.)
Harley Meisner: Good lord! Gracie just pinned Ian with our table, I’ve never seen these two like this before.
George Sullivan: They’re making a statement, and it’s LOUD and CLEAR.
(We see Jenn in the middle of the ring pick up Adrian and kicking him in the head with a roundhouse kick and quickly being followed by a 450 splash by Gracie! Great double teaming move here by the two, however, Jenn doesn’t look satisfied with it but pins Adrian anyway)
1………
2……….
3!
(Their respective titles are given back to them as they raise them up. However, you can see Jenn clearly looking at the world title. It’s a title that she’s never won before. It’s no secret she wants that title and she’s making it known right here right now to Gracie to watch her back.)
