Welcome To Fantasia [a AEW, WWE & NJPW Story]

[Stojy]

205 Live roster is definitely unique and should provide stacked cards with great wrestling throughout. Hoping you find a way to continue that tradition but gives us a little more flavour in terms of story and angle progression also.

Rampage seemed decent enough as well here. Love KES looking strong and really pumped to see what you do with Cardona after he's awesome run in real life.

AJ Styles would cut a promo in which he would offer an answer to Bron Breakker and as much as the idea of being taught a lesson in respect at Extreme Rules - he would make the point that he had no interest in lowering the bar and damaging the prestige of the WWE Championship and until Bron proved himself on the global stage he wouldn’t be accepting challenges from virtual nobodies. Instead, AJ would reveal that this coming Saturday in Philly he would be putting the title up for grabs against none other than a man he considered as being one of the toughest wrestlers in the game - Shinsuke Nakamura. Styles would make it clear that Nakamura deserved more than demanding ultimatums and that he was giving Shinsuke a shot at the gold, but after he claimed the win he expected Nakamura would stand with him in the coming weeks and months to come.

AJ would however continue and book a second match for Extreme Rules and would offer the win of said match a future shot at the WWE Championship. Styles put together a Six Man Extreme Rules Elimination match featuring Finn Balor, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz and Randy Orton. The six men would find themselves facing each other in three separate matches over the course of the evening. Rollins would defeat The Miz, Balor a victory over Orton, whilst Ziggler and Drew McIntyre would battle out to a No Contest following both men being counted out by the match official.

With Dana Brooke having had her contract renewed the evening’s programming would be filled with multiple changing of hands of the 24/7 Championship. Dana would successfully fight off both Wes Lee and Ridge Holland before Brooke would eventually falter and Logan Paul would win his first championship belt of his wrestling career. The reign would be short lived with Mustafa Ali claiming a pin over Logan only seconds later. Dana would manage to recapture the belt before the night was done though, much to Ali’s frustration.

The Divas Division would see three matches take place: Sasha Banks would claim a win over Kayden Carter, Naomi a victory over Kacy Catanzaro and whilst a tag team match would see Aofie Valkyrie & Xia Li claim a solid win over Ivy Niles and Dana Brooke. After the string of matches, Rhea Ripley would cut a promo backstage in which she would make it clear that she was wholly impressed with what the Divas on Monday Night Raw had to offer in regards of a challenge and a playing field worthy of a fighting champion and would confirm that her opponent whom had been handpicked by Erc as being none other than Ronda Rousey.

The only other match that would be booked for the PPV would see Bobby Lashley be announced to defend the Intercontinental Championship in a thirty-minute Extreme Rules Iron Match against Tomasso Ciampa.

Results
Seth Rollins def. The Miz | Finn Balor def. Randy Orton | No Contest: Dolph Ziggler vs. Drew McIntyre |
Sasha Banks def. Kayden Carter | Naomi def. Kacy Catanzaro | Aofie Valkyrie & Xia def. Muscle Bash (Dana Brooke & Ivy Niles)

Dark Elevation would see a number of AEW roster members and free agents take part in a number of matches:

JD Drake def. Will Ferrara

Bear Country (Boulder & Bronson) def. Coffey Brothers

Trent? def. Darius Martin

Dark would see a number of AEW roster members and free agents take part in a number of matches:

Blake Christian def. Wes Brisco
Su Yung def. Kylie Rae
Mike Bailey def. Trey Miguel
Heath & Rhyno def. Dak Draper & Johnny Swinger
Madison Rayne def. Kris Statlander
Josh Alexander def. Dustin Rhodes

Free Agents: Dak Draper, Johnny Swinger, Su Yung & Wes Brisco

The tournaments to crown new NXT North American and Women’s Champions would continue with two more first round matches from each bracket taking place over the course of the evening. In the North American tournament Tyler Bate would claim an impressive and hard-fought victory over Madcap Moss, whilst Von Wagner would show himself as a man for a future by claiming a big W over Humberto Garza.

In the Women’s tournament there would be some high intensity encounters with all combatants vying for a place in the semi finals. Tegan and Bianca would be involved in a truly delicious scrap, with Nox surprising everyone by claiming the victory and dumping Belair out of the tournament. In the last match of the bracket Cora Jade would test Becky, but ‘The Man’ would prove to simply be too much and claim the victory.

After the matches had been completed Eva Marie would appear on the Titantron and announce what the semifinal matches would be in both brackets. Axiom would be booked to face Tyler Bate and Dominik Mysterio would be pitted up against Von Wagner. In the Women’s Championship Becky Lynch would have drawn Tegan Nox, whilst Bayley would be set to face Meiko Satomura.

A video package would confirm that NXT Champion Breakker was attending Smackdown this coming Thursday and that following AJ Styles rejection - he was looking to get a direct response from Roman Reigns.

NXT Tag Team Champions Pretty Deadly would-be watching action from a private skybox once again with the champs witnessing the Viking Raiders claiming a victory over Andre Chase & Bodhi Hayward. Unlike the previous week though, Prince and Wilson would be interviewed following the contest with the pair making it clear that they were still getting used to living fulltime on American soil and that before they next defended their belts, they really needed to make sure they gave the shot to the team most suited to the task in hand and therefore they would not be putting their straps up for grabs at Extreme Rules.

Tag team action would also occur featuring the Women’s Division with Toxic Attraction claiming a comprehensive victory over The Brave Hearts (Cross & Niven). After the contest Gigi Dollin would demand that Eva Marie give them back what was rightfully theirs, because there was no doubt that herself and Jacy were the only female tag team in this entire business deserving of holding title gold.

Results
Tyler Bate def. Madcap Moss | Tegan Nox def. Bianca Belair | Viking Raiders def. Andre Chase & Bodhi Hayward | Toxic Attraction def. The Brave Hearts | Von Wagner def. Humberto Garza | Becky Lynch def. Cora Jade

“Danhausen’s Boys” would have their first match as an ROH pairing with PCO and Knux proving themselves to be a truly dominant and sadistic force as they would claim a violent victory over the Gunn Club. After the contest Danhausen would congratulate his two associates before sending a message to the Men of the Year and making it clear that if Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page really felt that they were better than his boys, then perhaps they should step into the ring with them and come to understand what it meant to be meet face-to-face with very nice and very evil.

A number of other matches within the Tag Division would take place over the course of the show with La Rebellion Amarilla picking up a win over Proud & Powerful. In the other tag contest of the evening, Swerve in Glory would impress by claiming a decisive victory over Violent By Design.

Later in the night Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page would appear backstage and cut a savage promo in which they would make it clear that Danhausen and his bitches were going to have to wait a long time or cut their way through a lot of bodies before they came close to deserving to share the same ring as the Men of the Year. Ethan Page would go further and question why Danhausen refused to fight his own battles and that there was simply no glory in running around like the star attraction when he was nothing more than a stooge with a stupid gimmick when he was nothing more than a second-rate Jimmy Hart.

Marina Shafir would cut a promo backstage for the very first time as the Women of Honor Champion in which she would make it known that unlike Mercedes Martinez she was not an individual that was going to make mistakes or make claims that would put her in a vulnerable position and in turn damage the prestige of the belt she was holding. Shafir would make it clear that Mercedes had embarrassed herself by hosting an open challenge and losing the belt in the very first match of the series. She however would reveal that she already had an opponent in mind for the coming weeks, but that if that person's form dipped, she was going to have to look elsewhere because she was only interested in battling with the best.

There would be two matches featuring the Women of Honor with Saraya picking up a win over Nyla Rose, whilst Marti Belle would play second fiddle to a much more dominant and dangerous look Jordynne Grace.

Further build up would occur hyping the future match for the ROH World Championship between Jericho & Sting on the 18th October. Highlight reels would be put together for both men, highlighting some of the key moments of both men’s careers.

Steve Maclin would agree to face Samoa Joe in the evening’s main-event - but with the match not being for the World Television Championship he would agree to only face Joe if the match was contested under Pure Rules. Joe would make it clear that it didn’t matter what the rules of the match were, because he was going to earn a win either way. The match would be a really interesting and technical contest with both men using up their three rope breaks, only for the fans to be left stunned and on their feet as Maclin would lock Joe in a Kimura and force him to tap out and claim a massive win to his name.

Results
PCO & Knux def. Gunn Club | Saraya def. Nyla Rose| Swerve In Glory def. VBD | Jordynne Grace def. Marti Belle | La Rebellion Amarilla def. Proud & Powerful | Steve Maclin def. Samoa Joe​

Drew Gulak def. Jinder Mahal

Noam Dar & Austin Theory def. Maximum Male Models (Mace & Mansoor)

John Cena def. Angel Garza

Dynamite would begin with Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli sharing the ring, but rather than being at each other’s throats the two men would seem to be in agreement with each other and had a newfound level of respect for each other following last week contest that had ended in a time limit draw without an AEW World Champion being crowned. Bryan would make the point that although a true winner between himself and Claudio needed to be found he wanted to turn his attention to Impact Wrestling and really wanted to focus in on what Adam Cole and group of nerds that had surrounded him last week moping around like an ensemble of victims and having the nerve to call themselves ‘AEW Exiles’. Danielson would make his intention known that if this new super faction ever wanted to become elite again in the future, they were going to have to earn that right and there was an entire locker-room in the back fully of worthy talent and that not one man was going to give up their place for a bunch of second-rate wrestlers.

Castagnoli would agree with this sentiment and would wish the Impact Loyalists the best of luck ahead of their future battles, but that men like himself and and Danielson would stand at the door and act as gatekeepers and prevent riff raff like Adam Cole of poisoning the chalice that was All Elite Wrestling. Claudio would then suggest that as much as he respects Bryan, he didn’t see why this week’s episode of Dynamite didn’t start how last week ended with both men in the ring battling it out for the AEW World Championship up for grabs.

The two men would be interrupted by the Director of Talent Relations Alicia Atout who would have the vacant AEW World Champion slung over her shoulders. Alica would clarify that because neither Danielson or Castagnoli had left with the world title, neither of them were due a second shot at the gold and that instead a different match had been scheduled to open the night that would see Lance Archer take on Nick Aldis and that the winner of the match would be guaranteed entry into the next content for the AEW World Championship before making the point that Bryan and Claudio would have to earn the right to challenge for the belt and that nothing in AEW was given away for free. The contest itself would be a great encounter, with The Murderhawk Monster finishing off Aldis with the Texas Tornado to leapfrog up the ranking and become the number ranked member of the World Championship Division.

Newly crowned All-Atlantic Champion JTG would cut a passionate promo backstage in which he would talk himself up and that despite his age his career was far from over and that the manner in which he had won the belt last week and had proven that his career was far from over and the manner in which he had dispatched all three of his opponents meant that he was head and shoulders above the rest of the talent and that was why he intended to not only become the very best All-Atlantic Champion in his power, but that he had his eyes firmly set on Daniel Garcia and one day becoming the TNT Champion.

Three high quality singles matches would take place over the evening: Josh Alexander would claim a victory over Douglas Williams, Mike Bailey and Jonathan Gresham would be involved in a fierce technical contest with The Octopus coming off trumps and leaving with the win, whilst action in the Women’s Division would see Serena Deeb pick up a big W over Su Yung. Despite the loss, after the match it would be officially confirmed that Su Yung ‘was All Elite’ and was now an official member of the AEW roster.

FTR would cut a promo backstage in which they would confirm the fact that they would challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championships this coming Friday on Rampage. Dax Harwood would then reveal that him and Cash’s desire to claim Trios Gold was still very much on their agenda and the pair would introduce their new trios partner Matt Cardona. Cardona would enter the shot and there was no doubt in his mind that FTR were single handedly the greatest tag team on the planet - but had the confidence that the ‘Death Match Kings’ or DMK were destined for greatness and that as soon as a bracket or contest was put together to crown new champions, he knew that himself, Dax and Cash would be walking away with the gold.

The evening’s main-event would be an eight-man tag team contest in which the team of Bear Country (Boulder & Bronson), Dustin Rhodes and Christian would battle with Best Friends (Trent? & Chuck Taylor), Orange Cassidy and Colt Cabana in a contest that would wet everyone’s appetite and leave them wanting more when there was no more to give with Orange Cassidy picking up the win by laying Christian out flat with the Orange Punch. With OC celebrating the victory he would be blindsided by both Yuta and Garcia with the pair smashing Cassidy with hard steel chair shots before fleeing the ring before Trent? and Chuck Taylor could come to their friend's aid as the show would come to a close.

Results
Lancer Archer def. Nick Aldis | Josh Alexander def. Douglas Williams | Jonathan Gresham def. Mike Bailey | Serena Deeb def. Su Yung | Best Friends (Trent?, Chuck Taylor & Orange Cassidy) & Colt Cabana def. Bear Country (Bronson & Boulder), Dustin Rhodes & Christian​

Much of the night’s episode would be spent putting together the brand’s side of matches for the upcoming pay per view. The Usos would be set to defend the Smackdown Tag Team Championships against the Street Profits who had earned that right by claiming a tag team victory over Shelton Benjamin and Rick Boogs. A match for the Women’s Tag Team Championships would also be decided with two separate eliminator matches taking place with a team of Tiffany Stratton & Zelina Vega winning one slot, with a new combination of Alba Fyre & Candice LeRae earning the second spot.

WALTER would reveal that at Extreme Rules he would be defending the United States Championship in a Ladder Match, but that this evening every single member of the U.S. Division that weren't involved in challenging for the tag team belts would feature in a Battle Royale with the winner earning a shot to face him for his gold at Extreme Rules. Imperium would do their best to take out some of the bigger names including Dragunov, Dunne & Riddle, but there was only so much that Fabian and Marcel could do in regard to weakening WALTER’s competition before they themselves would find themselves eliminated. The final two in the contest would see Xavier Woods battle with Roderick Strong, with the New Day member claiming the victory and booking himself a spot on the PPV card.

Bron Breakker would make an appearance on Smackdown and demand an audience with Roman Reigns. Roman would appear from the back and make it clear that he didn’t see a challenger in front of him, but rather a victim - but if Bron wanted to offer himself as a sacrificial lamb then he was more than willing to slaughter him. However, Reigns would make the point that Breakker was not deserving of fighting for the Universal Championship - but that if Bron wanted to face him this coming Saturday he was going to have to put his NXT Championship on the line. Bron would accept this offer and the match would be set in stone. .

Results
The Street Profits def. Shelton Benjamin & Rick Boogs | Tiffany Stratton & Zelina Vega def. Lacey Evans & Valentina Feroz | Alba Fyre & Candice LeRae def. Raquel Rodriguez & Shayna Baszler. | Battle Royale Winner: Xavier Woods

The episode of Impact would be canceled - with the reason stated the non-wrestling personnel were refusing to work until safe work conditions were guaranteed as various members of staff had been injured during last week’s multiple skirmishes.

The time slot would replay some of the all-time classic matches that had taken place in TNA/Impact Wrestling since the company’s formation.

It would also be announced that Bound for Glory had been delayed until further notice, whilst this faction war continued to take place.​
