MAIN EVENT - [1/60]
Danny Toner (c) vs. Alyster Black.
Singles match for the FWA World Championship.

RECORDS [since BiBXVI…]:
Danny Toner: 2-1-0.
Alyster Black: 2-1-0.

PREVIEW:
Perhaps the longest running rivalry in the Fantasy Wrestling Alliance today rolls on into New Orleans, where Alyster Black will once more challenge for the FWA World Championship and seek to pry the title out of the hands of Danny Toner and Executive Excellence. With the other three members preoccupied with what will no doubt be a brutal and barbaric chamber match for the Golden Opportunity, this may prove to be Black's best opportunity yet to tackle Toner without having to look over his shoulder.

Black's latest attempt at dethroning Toner came at the Anniversary Show, of course. That triple threat match, which also involved Devin Golden, saw Toner emerge triumphantly and Black not involved in the final pinfall. Jon Russnow announced via the commentary team that Black would get one more opportunity at Danny and the championship, and this time it would be one-on-one. Since then, we've seen Alyster Black return into the FWA told after his stint in the wilderness, first defending his X Championship against 'the Mad Wizard' Konchu Hao on Meltdown XIX before turning his attention to Toner.

The champion, meanwhile, tasted defeat on Fallout 019, when he was submitted by Jeremy Best's Friendship Bracelet finisher. If this has affected Toner's confidence he didn't let it show at the climax of Fallout 020, where he and Black exchanged words and then hands to finish the go-home show. These two men have been embroiled in some sort of rivalry - as singles stars or in a tag team, and both professionally and personally - for well over a year now, and it all comes to a head in our Lights Out main event.

The GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY Match - [6/–]
Cyrus Truth vs. Devin Golden vs. Chris Peacock vs. Gabrielle vs. Kayden Knox vs. Jeremy Best vs. Mike Parr.
Steel Roulette match for the Golden Opportunity briefcase.

RECORDS [since BiBXVI…]:
Cyrus Truth: 2-2-0.
Devin Golden: 1-4-0.
Chris Peacock: 1-1-0.
Gabrielle: 2-3-0.
Mike Parr: 2-1-0.
Kayden Knox: 3-3-0.
Jeremy Best: 5-1-0.

PREVIEW:
The Golden Opportunity match returns in a new slot at Lights Out, with seven competitors ready to step into the chamber this year as opposed to the standard six. This is due to the simultaneous eliminations of Devin Golden and Kayden Knox, who finished joint-seventh in the Carnal Contendership match. Usually, those in positions two through seven will earn their spot in this match, but due to the unique circumstances involved here, Jon Russnow announced that 2022's incarnation will see all seven of Golden, Knox, Gabrielle, Mike Parr, Cyrus Truth, Chris Peacock, and Jeremy Best enter this demonic structure.

Much of the build-up to this match has revolved around the fact that three members of Executive Excellence have earned their spot in the chamber, whilst the fourth holds the FWA World Championship. If Gabrielle, Mike Parr, and Kayden Knox can control this match-up, E.E. might find themselves in a dominant position within the FWA landscape come the end of Lights Out… so long as the holder of the briefcase and the holder of the championship continue seeing eye to eye. The four men in this match-up with no allegiance to Toner - Truth, Peacock, Golden, and Best - may end up forming a temporary and uneasy alliance should all three Executive Excellence members find themselves in this match-up at the same time.

The Golden Opportunity prize is one of the most sought after in professional wrestling: it gives its holder the right to challenge for the FWA World Championship at a time of their choosing over the next three hundred and sixty five days. Nova Diamond used the briefcase to win his sole FWA World Championship last year, and these seven competitors will look at Diamond’s success as a blueprint for their own path over the next twelve months…

[1/60]
The SPIRIT WALKERS [Aka Yurei and Reagan Cole] (c) vs. The CONNECTION [Gerald Grayson and Michelle von Horrowitz].
Tag Team match for the FWA World Tag Team Championships.

RECORDS [since BiBXVI…]:
THE SPIRIT WALKERS: 4-0-0 (4-0-0 as a pair).
Aka Yurei: 4-1-0, Reagan Cole: 6-0-0.
THE CONNECTION: 1-2-0 (1-0-0 as a pair).
Michelle von Horrowitz: 4-2-0, Gerald Grayson: 2-2-0.

PREVIEW:
The Spirit Walkers became the FWA World Tag Team Champions officially at the Anniversary Show, when they overcame Bad Reputation (Kayden Knox and Gabrielle) to merge their FWA World Tag Team Championships with the Fallout World’s Tag Team Championships. This was Aka Yurei’s first taste of gold within the Fantasy Wrestling Alliance, and Reagan Cole’s first since his short reign with the FWA Gauntlet Championship last year. Cole in particular has been on something of a hot streak as of late, picking up six consecutive victories since (and including) Back in Business, when he overcame long-term rival Jeffry Mason in a brutal, uncompromising deathmatch.

The last person to have defeated Reagan Cole, though, is one of the two challengers standing across the ring from him in Michelle von Horrowitz, who triumphed over Cole before Back in Business on Meltdown XVI. She would go on to defeat Aka Yurei on the last Meltdown show, but those singles victories will mean nothing if her and Gerald Grayson can’t get on the same page ahead of this championship match-up. On both Meltdown XX and Fallout 020, we saw MvH target the Spirit Walkers for extra-curricular attacks, only for Gerald Grayson to talk her out of such actions. The Daredevil has made it clear that he wants to win this match-up - which the Connection earned once back in last year’s Tag Warz tournament, and then re-earned with a win over Bad Reputation on Meltdown XIX - ‘the right way’... will this honour come back to haunt both Grayson and von Horrowitz in New Orleans?

[3/60]
Lizzie Rose vs. Johnny Johnson.
Two out of three falls match.

RECORDS [since BiBXVI…]:
Lizzie Rose: 3-2-0.
Johnny Johnson: 1-4-0.

PREVIEW:
Despite the fact that Lizzie Rose became the newly-crowned FWA North American Champion at the climax of Fallout 020, she will be competing at Lights Out in a non-title grudge match against a man who has been a perennial thorn in her side over the past few months. That man is ‘the Legend’ Johnny Johnson, who has made his dislike for Lizzie Rose and his desire to once more become the FWA North American Championship clear over the past few weeks. Johnson secured that gold back on Meltdown XVII, overcoming Lizzie thanks to the help of his father, Logan Darwin, before falling to Mike Parr and losing the belt at the Anniversary Show. That led to 020’s triple threat match, with the belt again changing hands, and this time ending up in the possession of ‘The Rave’ for the first time.

If Johnny Johnson’s ambitions are to earn another shot at and then reclaim that FWA North American Championship eventually, he will first have to overcome Rose in this non-title match… and he’ll have to do it more than once. Given the issues that have gone on between this pair dating back to that match for the vacant championship back on Meltdown XVII, Jon Russnow has turned this singles match into a two-out-of-three falls, hoping that such a stipulation would introduce an element of finality to this rivalry… unless, of course, Johnson emerges triumphantly, and makes the case for a future championship opportunity.

[1/30]
Shawn Summers (c) vs. Phillip A. Jackson.
Singles match for the FWA Television Championship.

RECORDS [since BiBXVI…]:
Shawn Summers: 2-2-0.
Phillip A. Jackson: 1-5-0.

PREVIEW:
Shawn Summers successfully defended his Television Championship for the first time back on Meltdown XIX, when he dispatched Sawyer Xavier in that show’s main event. This victory prompted Phillip A. Jackson to appear from the back and lay down a challenge for the man known as ‘Der Basterd’. Summers was originally hesitant to give in to Jackson’s demands so quickly, citing the fact that Jackson’s form had been uneven since his return into the FWA fold at this year’s Carnal Contendership match. That may be true, but Jackson's ability and pedigree are unmistakable, and Summers relented in accepting Jackson as his next challenger during the Fallout 020 show from Austin, Texas.

Jackson and Summers were, of course, both involved in the six-pack challenge at Rough's Tower to decide the inaugural champion, as well as the Brand Warfare Jailhouse Blues match at Arlington's Anniversary Show. They will no doubt be well aware of what the other is capable of going into this climactic one-on-one showdown in Louisiana.

[1/30]
Tommy Bedlam vs. Jason Randall.
X Rules match.

RECORDS [since BiBXVI…]:
Tommy Bedlam: 2-0-0.
Jason Randall: 2-3-0.

PREVIEW:
Tommy Bedlam returned to much fanfare during the recent post brand split swathe of shows in the South of the USA, and has recorded two impressive victories in that time to pick up a head of steam. Those wins have come over Nate Savage as well as two-time world champion Phillip A. Jackson, showing that Bedlam has returned with renewed focus and a new lease on life. If the man from Texas keeps loading up the win-column, it surely won't be long before Bedlam re-joins the hunt for gold here in the Fantasy Wrestling Alliance…

Standing in his way, though, is a man that he knows very well in 'the Wildcard' Jason Randall. In fact, Tommy Bedlam holds Randall responsible for his lengthy absence from in-ring action, as per his own words on this week's Meltdown XX. He'll get his chance to get his hands on the Wildcard in New Orleans, and - in what is an exclusive announcement - Jon Russnow has upped the ante by turning this singles match into X Rules, meaning there will be no disqualifications, no countouts, and falls count anywhere. Given the track record of these two men, that is undoubtedly a recipe for chaos.

[1/30]
Uncle J.J. JAY! vs. Cornelius Aurelius Caesar.
Singles match.

RECORDS [since BiBXVI…]:
Uncle J.J. JAY!: 1-1-0.
Cornelius Aurelius Caesar: 2-2-0.

PREVIEW:
During the FWA's recent tour of the south of the States, it appeared that Uncle J.J. JAY! and Cornelius Aurelius Caesar were destined to become tag team partners. The pair bonded over mutual grief: Caesar for his tag team partner Stu Grimes, who was recently kicked off a tower into a watery grave by Gabrielle and Kayden Knox, and Uncle for several of his recently fallen Nephews. This culminated in the duo's first outing as a tandem, when they faced Jeremy Best and Bryan Baxter of the Buddy System in Las Vegas on Meltdown XIX.

The result of that match, though, wasn't exactly what Uncle and his prospective new Nephew would've hoped, with Best and Baxter emerging triumphantly. JAY! none-the-less pressed on with his plans to recruit Caesar on Fallout 020, only for the Roman to reveal that this was incompatible with his own philosophies on life and wrestling. That set up this show-down, with the one-time tag team partners preparing to duke it out in New Orleans and provide one more showcase of their skills ahead of the upcoming F1 Climaxxx tournament.

[-/20]
??? vs. ??? vs. ....
The Secular Spooktacular Match.

Last year's Mile High pay-per-view event saw the first ever Secular Spectacular match-up, and that contest will make a return at Lights Out… but with a twist towards the occult, as the second incarnation of that match will follow a Halloween theme. Four prizes will be housed at the top of poles on each corner, with their contents being guaranteed treats rather than tricks, as four championship opportunities are up for grabs!

The field of competitors remains unannounced, but many of the names not booked on the rest of the card have been floated as potential entrants. Sawyer Xavier was amongst the winners in last year's Secular, and is likely to throw his hat into the ring again this time out, along with both Jackson Fenix and Nate Savage of the Undisputed Alliance. Konchu Hao and XYZ could also be seen climbing those candy cane poles this year, along with the slew of new signings for the company. Vampyra was impressive in her debut against The Backstreet Boy on 020, whilst we also saw a hype segment for newcomer Akihiko Kawaguchi. Several internet sources are also suggesting that the FWA is close to securing the services of Anderson Vega, Roderick Vasyl, and MDC, and also that Kleio De Santos and The Coven may be close to making their returns. We'll find out on the 22nd who exactly will compete in the Secular Spooktacular… and who will come away with those all-important treats.

MOD NOTE:
The four highest graded entrants will win the prizes. The prizes are: a shot at the X Championship, the NA title, the Television Championship, or the tag team titles with a partner of your choice. The person who comes first has first choice of prize, and so on. If you wish to enter this match, you will need to privately message the mod team a list of the four prizes in priority order, so it can be determined who will walk away with what. These title shots will occur during the F1 tournaments as the champions' compulsory defenses, should they choose to enter that tournament. You may post your promo in the promo thread or private message it if you want to be a surprise entrant. Only characters not booked elsewhere on the card may enter this match.

The Secular Spooktacular is basically TNA/Impact's Feast or Fired but with all title matches?

I think so. I am unfamiliar with the TNA match, but I think that formed the basis of the idea. It is an OMB invention.

Basically an "On a Pole match" with four poles. All are title matches except for one which is a pink slip.

Yeah it was spawned off an idea that OMB had that I basically thought was very similar to the Feast or Fired, so we’ve run with that. We don’t want to kick anyone out though so it’s just all good stuff that can be won!
