Universal Cross Wrestling (Year 1, Month 1)

In a distant time and a distant place, a deal is struck out between that of the WWE, the realm of Newgrounds, and the Eorzean Alliance to conjure up a one-night wrestling event featuring some of the most iconic and well-known names from all three respective brands. Though it runs under the branding of a normal Survivor Series pay-per-view, it is pitched as a 3-way dance between WWE, Newgrounds, and Final Fantasy XIV live from Madison Square Garden in New York City. What comes of this night? Only time will tell…

WWE Vs. Newgrounds Vs. FFXIV

Survivor Series

To open the show with a rather David Vs. Goliath-esque match-up, Tricky the Clown is set to face G'raha Tia in a normal one on one contest. The match lasts for around 10 minutes, and despite Graha's best efforts to keep up with the mad clown, Tricky defeats the Miqo'te in a convincing fashion to net Newgrounds their first point of the pay-per-view.

The second contest of the night is an intergender tag-team match that pits Boyfriend and Girlfriend against Montez Ford and Bianca Belair. Though both teams show much promise within the ring--courtesy of all four's shared high-flying prowess--Montez and Bianca come out on top to earn the WWE their first point of hopefully many.

In the third match of the night, Ardbert, representing Final Fantasy XIV, faces off against a returning Daniel Bryan who represents the WWE in a close-quarters brawl full of stiff strikes and excellent mat wrestling. The match concludes with Ardbert using his strength to overpower Bryan and pick up the win by pinfall, scoring FFXIV their first point.

The pay-per-view's fourth match sees one of WWE's best tag teams take on Newgrounds's most recognizable duo; Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish of reDRagon versus Sanford and Deimos of Madness Combat. In this match, the clashing styles of high-octane, mat-based wrestling of the Undisputed Era and the aggressive, heavy hitting fighting style of Sanford and Deimos go hand in hand in a 15-minute long classic which sees the Nevadan locals come out on top against reDRagon.

The fifth match of the night is the pinnacle of hoss wrestling with Raubahn Aldynn going against Brock Lesnar in a no holds barred match. The two are caught fighting before the match even begins, and from then on it escalates into a state of violence more fit for an octagon than a ring. By the sliver of a chance that his own will will allow him to keep pushing onward, Raubahn defeats Brock Lesnar in the closest match of the night and with his hand held high.

The flagship match of the show comes underway as Team WWE (Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor) Team FFXIV (Thancred, Y'shtola, Papalymo) and Team Newgrounds (Pico, Nene, Darnell) all face off in a 3V3V3 Traditional Survivor Series match that pits all three brands against each other for the first time that night. Elimination after elimination is doled out between teams until it comes down to Finn Balor and Nene in the climax of the 30 minute war, ending with Balor picking up the victory for Team WWE and being the sole survivor of the entire match.

As the WWE, Newgrounds and FFXIV brands are all tied for 2 points each, the main event of the night comes as John Cena, Hank J. Wimbleton, and the Warrior of Light all clash in a triple threat match to determine which brand will reign supreme at night's end. A match that lasts for upwards to a half hour, not any of the three men have what it takes to put each other away for the victory.

That is, until a blindsiding superkick knocks Cena off balance enough to give Hank the opportunity to pick up the win, securing Newgrounds as the victors of the night and prompting a celebration. That superkick that gifted Hank and the rest of Newgrounds that victory, however, was not the result of the Warrior of Light or by Hank himself, but from an outside party with an agenda of their own;

a blue haired, brown cloaked girl who is soon revealed to be Sky.

Final Score:

WWE: 2

NG: 3

FFXIV: 2

------------------------------

With the success of Survivor Series prompting demand for even more action from the three brands, a joint company is created between them known as Universal Cross Wrestling (UCW) to give its newly acquitted fans just that. With Triple H and William Regal at the helm as the brands General Managers, UCW kicks itself into high gear with its first month of programming taking place in Canada. Hank is crowned as the flagship star of UCW and is given the UCW World Heavyweight Championship to commemorate that; soon being told that a challenger for his title will be decided in the coming weeks.

This challenger will be fished from a set of 2 fatal-4 way matches, each of which will consist of the following superstars: Daniel Bryan, G'raha Tia, Finn Balor, and John Cena in the first match, alongside Nene, Ardbert, Tricky, and Raubahn in the second match. The winners of both of those fatal-4 ways will meet in a one-on-one contest, and the winner of that match will face Hank for the UCW Championship at UCW'S first official pay-per-view, Starrcade.

As a requisite reward for their victories at Survivor Series, Montez Ford and his fellow street profit tag team partner Angelo Dawkins are pitted against Sanford and Deimos to crown UCW's first ever Tag Team Champions. In a brutal and fast-paced clinic of a match, Wasteland Blood pick up the victory and secure the Tag Team titles for themselves, but not without shaking the hands of the Street Profits and showing them their due respect.

Bianca Belair and Girlfriend face each other one-on-one to crown UCW's first Women's Champion, and in a 20 minute clash full of emotion and hardship, Bianca is able to take home the gold and cement herself as champion.

The first of the two announced Fatal-4 ways takes place as Daniel Bryan, G'raha Tia, Finn Balor, and John Cena all square off against each other for the opportunity of a lifetime at the very beginning of UCW's life. In this nearly 40 minute slugfest of a match, Finn Balor is the one who's able to pick up the victory and awaits his opponent in the coming weeks.

------ Mid-Month Break ------

During an interview with Ardbert of the Warriors of Darkness, he claims that his victory against Daniel Bryan at Survivor Series was only the beginning of his path to glory, and promises to represent both the First and his friends on his quest to reach the top of UCW and become World Heavyweight Champion. During this interview however, he is confronted by Roman Reigns, who doesn't even give him the time of day with words and only stares daggers into the eyes of the axe-wielding hero.

William Regal is given the opportunity as General Manager to select two superstars for a match to crown UCW's first ever Openweight Champion. With longevity and spectacle being his main priority for such an occasion, he calls upon the likes of Karrion Kross and Sami Zayn to battle for the belt.

This results in a 15 minute David Vs. Goliath contest with a hopeful Sami coming up short against the monstrous Kross, crowing the new champion and inserting him into the titles caveat; once every week, Karrion Kross must defend the Openweight Championship in an open challenge to the entire roster. There are no limitations to who can challenge for or hold the belt no matter who they are, and Kross plans to run a warpath through UCW no matter who decides to step to him.

Finn Balor's opponent for the final show before Starrcade is decided as Nene, Ardbert, Tricky, and Raubahn all face off for the opportunity of a lifetime in one of the month's many main events. Despite a very divisive mixture of styles in terms of wrestling and fighting prowess, a 20 minute classic comes out of this fatal-4 way as Nene is able to pick up the victory and secure her match against Finn Balor. As she celebrates however, Sky emerges from the rafters above and gives the knife-crazy contender an unnoticed glare. Roman Reigns can also be seen sitting in the crowd during the match, studying Ardbert with a disappointed expression.

On the go-home show before Starrcade, the entire UCW roster is called to the ring as both GM's appoint them to a bright, prosperous future for the promotion. With two championships still undecided, however--that of the Undisputed and Submission titles--Triple H makes the decision to call upon those who he feels would be the best fit to face off for those prestigious prizes. For the Undisputed Championship, he chooses AJ Styles and Kevin Owens.

For the Submission Championship, he chooses Pete Dunne and Cesaro. Regal announces after his choices are made that the first match of a Tag Team Championship tournament will be held at Starrcade, pitting that of Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory of The Way up against Wes Lee and Nash Carter of MSK to end the segment.

Roman Reigns is scheduled to have a match against Dolph Ziggler later in the show, but is stopped by Ardbert who questions him on his intentions as per the stare he gave him during Ardbert's interview and fatal-4 way match. Roman explains that, per his own experience, he knows a leader when he sees one, and claims that someone like Ardbert who has to rely on other people to carry his baggage and can't get the job done when it counts isn't fit for the role of a leader.

Ardbert takes this claim as fighting words, and denounces Roman's point with a mentioning of the Shield falling apart and his lack of caring for his "brother" Dean Ambrose when he needed him the most. Now, with both men offended at the other's prospect, a match is made between them by Triple H at Starrcade; a No Holds Barred match.

Bianca Belair hosts an open challenge to anyone who wants to come for her Women's Championship; claiming that there is no one in UCW brave enough to take on someone of her youth and caliber after the show she put on against Girlfriend. After a moment, however, Y'shtola accepts her challenge and states that she's brave enough because she knows she'll take the title off of Bianca--the both of them agreeing to save the matchup for Starrcade with Regal's approval.

In the main event of the go home show before Starrcade, Finn Balor and Nene clash in a one-on-one competition for the ages in which both combatants give their all just like they did at Survivor Series. Despite the 20 minute classic pushing them both to their very limits, Nene is able to overcome the prince with two critical superkicks and safely secure her match against Hank at Starrcade.

The champion and challenger then meet in the ring after the match, trading words ahead of the big day. It is then announced by Triple H after they meet that their match at Starrcade will be a 2 out of 3 falls match.

Calamity Trio Using Their Powers (Chibi Style)

[dcxdpdabbles]

Would you ever consider writing out the Alley Boyfriends?

Tim's favorite brand of coffee since childhood- for one could not follow Batman and Robin around without losing some sleep- had always been the Heart Attack Coffee. It was known for its high levels of sugar and caffeine, with the added bonus of being cheap.

Heart Attack Coffee grew from a small family-run booth in Gotham's street market to five stores in Gotham, three in Bludhaven, and even one in Metropolis.

Their menu comprises about sixty percent of various coffees, but there are teas, fruit waters, and even pastries.

They rolled out signature drinks per season, and Tim was always the first one in line when the new menu was revealed. He preferred the winter ones- mainly because they were hot and always had a special kick to his coffee compared to the spring and summer that tended to lean more towards ice dreams like teas or fruit waters.

Tim adored Heart Attack with all his might. He collected their special cups, a book on all the different flavors he tried, and even cried for three hours straight after learning the Heart Attack team had made drinks inspired by the Bats.

He doesn't think he drank anything but the Red Robbin Rush for the three months the promotion ran. Yes, his heart was beating like a hummingbird in his chest the whole time, and he was a bit jitty, but it was worth it.

Then came the terrible day Bruce found out just how much caffeine was inside Heart Attack's coffee. Not enough to shut them down with health violations but enough to worry him.

He forbids the family from Heart Attack, suggesting another cafe that were safer. The thing is, Tim does not drink any other coffee. He tried of course, but unless he was the one that made it, the other coffee never came close!

That was Tim's coffee. His special coffee. He had one every day (that he was in town and not away on a mission) so much so the employees knew him by name and what time he usually showed up.

Sean, the morning cashier at the closest branch to WE, would have an experimental drink prepared for him. Sean would let him test out possible new flavors!

That's how valued he was as a customer.

Don't get him wrong, Tim tried to follow Bruce's mandatory boycott. But by the third day, his headache was killing him, and his hands were starting to get itchy.

Not only that. His whole day just felt off when he skipped out on his morning coffee or his after-work coffee. Tam had caught him re-organizing his office at least five times because his office just didn't feel right anymore. It wasn't balanced.

On the fourth day, he walked into a Heart Attack, and Sean smiled at him. He had a blond expresso Rush halfway made when Tim reached the counter. "Welcome back, Tim."

He placed a fifty in the tip jar grinning at the employee. He took his first sip of the golden nectar and felt his very soul breathe as it settled in his stomach. "Good to be back"

Tim figured that Bruce wouldn't notice because, frankly his adoptive dad wasn't the most observant when it came to Tim's habits. He got away with it for about a month.

Then came the faithful day Bruce reminded him why he was Bartman.

"I'm sorry, Tim, you've been placed on the Do not Serve Coffee list." Sean winces, showing the binder to the stunned CEO.

"I've been banned!?" He chokes, running his eyes over his own face in picture form. "What did I do!?"

"Not banned. You can still order caffeine-free teas or fruit waters." Sean reassures, but it means nothing. His apologies and his explanations mean nothing.

Sean-who he was half sure had been flirting with Tim for months- suddenly meant nothing.

Bruce has bought out Heart Attack was nearest WE in an effort to get Tim to cut back on his coffee intake. The man knew he did not like drinking any other brand, didn't function right without it, and still chose to pull this stunt.

Well, if he thought Tim wouldn't drive ten minutes to the next nearest Heart Attack, he was sorely mistaken. He got up twenty minutes early- and Tim loves to sleep okay. Just because he can't have too much of it with his busy life didn't mean he didn't adore sleep- and drove himself there to make sure he was on time for WE.

The employee gave him the same spiel, holding that dreaded binder. Bruce had also gotten to this branch. But Tim knew that while the branches could be bought out, the name was trademarked, so Bruce couldn't own them all!

He tried the Heart Attack that was thirty minutes away, showing up late to work due to him not planning the traffic for the morning rush, and still did not succeed in getting coffee.

. Then he tried the one that forty minutes, on the complete opposite side of his work, and that one failed too. By this point, a whole week had gone by since he last had a Heart Attack.

Not even on missions did he go this long. He usually bought those take-home packages when he knew the missions were going to be longer than three days at the most. They wouldn't even sell him that anymore!

The packages were just packs of Heart Attack instant coffee. It wasn't even the real deal!

He was feeling withdrawal; his headaches were getting worse, while his body felt slow with fatigue, and he was snapping at everything and everyone.

Just the other day, he yelled at Tam for sneezing. Sneezing.

Thankfully, she can give out as good as she gets. She reminded Tim why she was the one who tended to call all the shots around the office despite what others believed.

His skin was starting to burn, which didn't make sense since caffeine withdrawal did not include itchiness, but he couldn't stop scratching. Tim also hasn't slept in a while because his daily evening routines were all off now that he couldn't have Coco Connect!

He thinks he made all of his executives uneasy with his fidgeting and nasty scowl at the last meeting because he couldn't sit still when all he could think of was Heart Attack.

The last Heart Attack, the one right at the edge of the city, the one that was only a street away from Crime Alley and happened to be a forty-five-minute commute for both Wayne Manor and WE, was his last hope.

Out of all of the branches, this one was the least impressive. It was cramped with only three tables, the walls were painted a dark brown, and the light setting was all low.

It was nothing like the bright and spacious atmosphere of the other branches. It was even squished between two large buildings, the narrow doorway making it hard to even see. Tim was sure Bruce had not found this one yet.

When he pushed the door open, he jumped slightly at the chime from the bells on the door. His anxiety had been climbing to ridiculous levels, he needed his coffee.

At the counter, a boy who looked his age glanced up from his red bulky phone. He quickly slipped it into his pocket, giving Tim a friendly, if slightly bored smile. "Can I help you?"

Tim raced towards him, nearly tripping over his own feet. There was a slight note of deranged desperation in his voice as he responded. "Please, I just want a cup of coffee."

The boy nods, pressing a few buttons on his little cheap register. "What kind would you like?"

Tim's heart swelled with hope. "I want a large Blond Expresso Rush and a-"

The boy stops. He looks up slowly at the time, squinting his eyes as if trying to see into Tim's mind. Then, with a slow movement, he reached under the counter to withdraw a very familiar binder.

Tim's eyes burn with unshed tears as the stranger flips through the binder before stopping on a particular page. "I'm sorry, sir, but you are on the Don't Serve Coffee list. I can offer you some tea instead-"

"NO!" Tim yells, causing the employee to jerk back. He knows he must look like a mess, with tears rolling down his face, but he doesn't care. This was his last chance. He can't make it to the branches in Bludhaven or Metropolis, not daily and certainly not without Bruce noticing. " THIS IS THE FIFTH PLACE. BRUCE CAN'T OWN YOU ALL!"

He places his face into his hands and wails. His body is shaking with his sobs, leaning against the counter because he lost all strength to himself up.

The employee stares at him with a strangely understanding expression. "Does this coffee mean that much to you? Is it.... an Obsession for you?"

Tim can only nod because words are hard to push through his cries. The teenager sighs, running a hand through his hair before leaning forward and whispering. "Look, man, I can't give you coffee under the cameras. Meet me in the back alley in twenty minutes, and I'll get you a coffee. Bring Cash."

Tim snaps his head up at once.

"How much? Five hundred, six hundred, or hell, even a thousand? I'll bring whatever you want." He sobbed, knowing he looked sort of pathetic but beyond the point of caring about his dignity.

" Chill, dude, it's a cup of coffee. Three dollars is fine." The other says with a sort of uneasy smile.

"It's not just any coffee! It's my favorite brand, and Bruce bought them out to ensure they wouldn't sell to me anymore!"

The guy holds up his hands. "Okay, okay, this coffee means a lot to you. I get it. Twenty minutes alright?"

Tim stumbles his way outside, reaching for his wallet. He has no cash, but he says an ATM is not too far down the street. He all but runs there and sprints back with a crispy twenties.

He stopped at a local flower store to ask if they would break it for him and was told he needed to buy something first. Not wanting to meet the coffee angel, he picks out a lovely bouquet of lavender roses.

He gets four dollars as his change and races back to the Alley behind Heart Attack. Just in time, too, because the back door opens and out strolls the cashier with a large travel container.

Tim throws the cash and flowers into his hands to rip off the lid and check the inside. It's a Blond Expersso Rush. Even just a sniff has something in him settling. He takes a sip, and all is right with the world for the first time in a while.

"That good?" The boy asks with a slight grin. Tim hums, smiling back as he takes another sip. "I'm glad. Want your flowers back?"

Huh? Oh yeah, he bought those. He shakes his head. "Keep them. Think of it as a thanks for doing this."

"Cool. Never had flowers as a tip before." He jokes, taking a sniff of the roses with a broader grin. "Name's Danny, by the way."

"Tim. Nice to meet you."

"You too."

Tim tips his head back, letting the coffee burn down his throat. It's hot, but that hardly matters. Danny's mouth drops. "Dude, maybe wait for it to not be so hot?"

"I can't." He whines, downing the cup's contents, and only after it's all gone does he realize he forgot to savor it. He throws it over his shoulder in the direction of the trash can. "I don't know when I'll get a chance like this again."

"Don't worry about that. I'll make you more whenever you want. Here, have my number and text me when you're on your way so I can-"

Tim throws himself onto Danny. The other fumbles with the flowers, trying to hold them and Tim simultaneously, but Tim doesn't care. "You are the best person I have ever met! I think I love you!"

The other laughs, patting his hair. "I'm glad. You've been the first to give me flowers, so you're cool, too."

"When do you get off shift? I'll treat you to dinner."

"It's not a big deal, dude."

"I insist!"

"Well if you insist. I just finished, actually. Where do you have in mind?"

Tim leans back to smile at Danny, unaware of the two shadows that leap away from the still-embraced couple. They arrived sometime after Tim finished his cup, unaware he had drunk it since it was lying on the group near the other discarded cups in the trash.

They only saw Tim in the arms of a boy, holding flowers, which represented "Love at First Sight," and the way they heard Tim offer to buy him dinner.

"See B? Tim wasn't buying coffee. He was just meeting his crush!"

"Hmm. Based on what we saw, it's safe to say boyfriend. No one is comfortable with someone unless they have known them for a while."

"I think your right. I wonder when Tim will bring him over to meet the family?"

"Try not to push too much Nightwing. You know T values his privacy."

They both smile at each other knowingly, and even though Bruce suppresses it right away for his Batman persona they don't forget what they saw.

They pretend not to notice every time Tim disappears or that his GPS puts him back in that alley. They'll wait till he's ready to tell them. Besides, the barista seems good to him; Tim is far more energetic and bright these days.

A month goes by like this, where Tim is back to his normal self, no longer needing coffee to be happy. Bruce pats himself ion the back for his plan to help cut him off working so well.

Even though he seems to be texting constantly on his phone.

Neither Dick nor Bruce noticed the narrow eye stare of worry that Jason aimed at Tim whenever he slipped away to meet Danny. He has theories on what is inside those strange containers, but he hasn't gotten close enough to confirm his suspicions yet.

Jason prays he's wrong.

He waits until he knows Tim is gone (he is not. He likes to hide in the cave's shadows to overhear the latest family gossip) before turning to Bruce and Dick.

"Tim's on drugs! I've caught him trading cash for small containers in a shady alley six times. We need an intervention."

Predictably both men freak out.

"What?! I thought that was his boyfriend!" Dick wails, looking over all the pictures of Tim and Danny standing in an alley trading cash, flowers, and containers that Jason took.

"I also thought that was Tim's boyfriend, but if it's a drug dealer, we have to help him," Bruce grunts, eyes hard as he now sees Danny Fenton in a new, less favorable light.

And Tim, who is still hiding in the cave's shadows overhead, can only whisper a heartfelt "shit."

He rips out his phone to text Danny as the rest of the Bats below begin plotting. Thank goodness they don't know what Danny has been giving him exactly. Maybe they can steal Bruce's and Dick's ideas.

Meanwhile, Danny's tiny apartment across the city is starting to appear like a greenhouse with all the flowers Tim has been giving him. His small slip of loving flowers was all Tim needed to hear.

He's taken it as a personal challenge to always have some flowers for Danny as a thank-you for the coffee he made for him.

It was nice. It helped get rid of the boredom his life had developed. He looked forward to Tim's presence. He hadn't had this much fun or clicked as easily with someone since Sam or Tucker.

"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear," Danny grins as his phone dings and Tim's picture flashes on his screen.

If anyone asks you're my secret boyfriend who been making me teas in allies

Danny stares at the screen momentarily, before shrugging and texting back a confirmation. "Who the hell would believe that? But I've had a boring week, so yeah, I'm down to be a pretend boyfriend."

He's never met any of Tim's family, but he doesn't think they will be too hard to fool.

[radiance1]

Another link to this post. Meet the parents style.

So, Danny and Jason have been fake dating for a while now, and ended up marrying each other solely for tax benefits. Also, they got cool ass fucking friendship rings that they just couldn't not wear everywhere and being married is convenient so...

Anywho, so Jason has met Danny's parents but Danny hasn't met Jason's parents. Danny knows that he has some ties with the vigilantee scene due to being a Crime Lord-he still doesn't know what to think of his parents connecting the dots immediately when they only met him once while it took him more than that while living with the guy.

He thinks Jason may have been an ex-vigilantee at some point before turning to crime.

Then Danny gets blinded by rich people aura when he finds out that his bestfriend is the long thought dead child of Bruce Wayne. Frankly, he's insulted.

You mean to tell him that his could've been buying ice cream from that high class place all this time!? He shook (literally he grabbed and shook him) that point into Jason, he doesn't care that Jason never told him he was rich but he could've at least bought some high class ice cream once in a while.

Jason who was busy solidifying his power as a crime lord, avoiding his family and making sure not to leak his identity at all: I'm a literal crime lord, and the only thing you care about is me not buying you ice cream?

Danny: YES!!!!

Jason: Dork.

Right anyways, so Jason takes Danny along to meet Bruce and his fam but did say as soon as he started being uncomfortable they're leaving. The batfam is a bit blindsided by Danny, because they thought Jason was bringing his partner but its good to also get a feel for Danny's personality.

Danny and Jason did what's normal for them when Danny starts getting comfortable around the manor full of things that cost waaay more than his rent. Like half-heartedly insulting each other, being snarky, leaning on each other and other such things.

The batfam start thinking that there's more there than they know of. So they start watching a bit closer and ask a few round about questions that fly over Danny and Jason's heads. They just forget they're married often, unless it's regarding taxes.

All of this sends the wrong message when they walk into the same room and, being nosy, one of the batfam comes up to the door and uh. They hear the bed moving quite a lot.

So.

Meanwhile, Jason is trying to wrestle with Danny because this man does not pick a lane. He'll either be the human octopus (who is cold as hell) Jason has ever seen, he'll try to kick him off the bed in his sleep as if Jason personally offended him in some way, or he'll sleep in some wacky position that interrupts Jason's sleep. The last one is tied to the other two, however.

So, Jason has to frequently wrestle this man into a proper position where they both manage to get some sleep and it wouldn't have been so bad if Danny wasn't a goddamn sleep fighter. He would know, he had to nurse a bruised jaw for a few weeks.

Why do they sleep together? Listen, when you're in an apartment with not a lot of money, you gotta cut costs where you can alright?

Universal Cross Wrestling (Year 1, Month 3)

------------------------------

Post-Starrcade

------------------------------

Two days after UCW's first official schedule pay-per-view, UCW Blackout's 2nd full month goes live in Brooklyn with the first show of the month being just 48 hours removed from an eventful and epic Starrcade. The show begins with a championship coronation held by Triple H and William Regal that sees AJ Styles, Pete Dunne, and Karrion Kross all come down to the ring and celebrate their championship wins and defenses amongst the General Managers.

Hank is then called down to end the ceremony with a direct announcement as to who his next opponent for the World Championship will be; that being the newly debuting but very well known superstar of Adam Cole. However, Nene also makes her presence known with demands for a rematch against the World Champion--prompting Triple H to book a match between her and Adam Cole to decide a number #1 contender on the go-home show before UCW's next pay-per-view, No Mercy.

Sky is seen backstage speaking to Tricky on the topic of her arrival in UCW. The two lament on their friendship and the fact that the both of them-one from Hank and the other from Nene-have targets on their backs that have completely changed their lives for better and for worse.

Sky speaks on how when she first appeared in the Newgrounds universe, she was seen as nothing more than an obsessive waste of space by everyone besides Tricky who genuinely made an effort to be her friend, and when she decided to leave to try and reevaluate herself, she saw how people like Whitty, Zardy, and Ruv had grown be known as pioneers and megastars solely through their own dominating strength while away.

She then decided to take it upon herself to follow in their footsteps, and despite going against Tricky's warnings, seeks to use her own newfound strength to cut a path through UCW and show the world what she's capable of--starting with Nene and ending with the UCW champion.

The second round of the UCW Tag Team Championship tournament gets underway as reDRagon faces off against the debuting FTR to decide who will face The Way in the tournaments semi-finals. Between FTR's old school and physicality based style and reDRagon's more strike oriented and fast paced wrestling, reDRagon are able to outsmart the Revolt and come out on top to advance in the tournament.

The Tag Team Championship tournament's third round pits Black Void against the Usos to determine who faces either the Street Profits or Top Guys in the semi-finals. Though they are easily outmatched in power by Top Guys, the Usos use their synergy and teamwork to put them away in the end; sending the brothers further into the second half of the tournament.

William Regal announces that a Battle Royal will be held to decide who will face Bianca Belair at No Mercy for the UCW Women's Championship. The BR itself introduces new and old icons of women's wrestling to the crowd, and ends with both Io Shirai and Toni Storm hitting the outside at the exact same time--prompting Regal to make the match at No Mercy a triple threat match for the Women's Championship.

Roman Reigns cuts a promo from a dimly lit room backstage that details his history as a leader; from his time in NXT as a dough-rolling businessman to one of the three hounds of justice that made up the Shield, he reflects on his time in the limelight amongst those who followed him and compares those times to that of Ardbert's achievements. A supposed hero across two separate worlds that still failed to put him away is no hero at all in Roman's own words, and with the Warrior of Darkness himself out of action because of Roman Reigns, the Tribal Chief opts to turn his attention to someone who reminds him of himself--Karrion Kross and the Openweight Championship. Kross accepts this challenge later in the show, and Triple H makes it official for No Mercy.

Pete Dunne has a sit-down interview with ring announcer Justin Roberts following his win over Cesaro, an interview in which the bruiserweight claims to Triple H that the only people in UCW who have any prowess as submission specialists are either gone or have been already beaten by him. He states that he knows that his run as Submission Champion is just beginning, but by the look of UCW's roster and the names that catch his eye, Pete only sees one man who would even come close to his level and acknowledges that he isn't here either; that is until the man himself, Daniel Bryan, comes face to face with Dunne and throws out the challenge right there, which Dunne accepts.

———— Mid-Month Break ————

A Six Pack Challenge is held to determine who will face AJ Styles for the Undisputed Championship at No Mercy. This match consists of G'raha Tia, Tricky, Drew McIntyre, Papalymo, Thancred, Pico, and Darnell. Though the match goes on for an over-the-top and chaotic 20 minutes, the winner is decided when Darnell assists Pico in pinning Thancred to win an opportunity at AJ Styles. As for Darnell himself, he states to his friend that this is an opportunity made for Pico--Darnell has his own business to take care of.

The fourth round of the UCW Tag Team Championship tournament sees the Street Profits go two-on-two against Top Guys to see which of the two teams will face the Usos in the semi-finals. In the end, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins use their mixture of high flying and heavy hitting wrestling styles to outpower and outspeed Top Guys to a victory and a match against the Usos.

The UCW Tag Team Championship tournament's fifth round takes the tourney into its semi-final bracket, opening up with The Way facing off against reDRagon in an extremely technical and fast-paced clinic of a match. After 20 minutes of a consistently back and forth contest, The Way are able to use their resilience to run reDRagon dry of energy and defeat them to move on to the finals.

The sixth round in the Tag Team Championship tournament pits The Usos against the Street Profits in a match that blows the entire tournament out of the water. A nearly 30 minute instant classic of high-octane never slowing down action that sees both teams give their all in the vein of teamwork, synergy, and heart for a chance at the titles, the Usos are just narrowly capable of defeating the Profits and securing their spot in the finals.

The UCW Tag Team Championship tournament finishes with a bang: a 20 minute, always moving spot-fest between the Usos and The Way that sees both teams push themselves to their absolute limits both in desperation and courage for a shot at the Tag Team titles. Despite the efforts of the Way, however, the Usos defeat Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory in convincing fashion and come face to face with Sanford and Deimos as their match and title shot are locked in for No Mercy. By request of the Tag Team champions though, that match will take place as UCW's first ever ladder match for the Championships.

On the last episode of Blackout before No Mercy, Adam Cole makes his in-ring debut against Nene in a #1 Contender's match for Hank's UCW World Championship. The two of them absolutely bludgeon each other in a half hour long showcase of Cole's patented wrestling ability and Nene's hunger for another chance at the title. Sanford and Deimos make an attempt to get involved on the behalf of Hank late in the match, but are stopped by Darnell who even gets into a scuffle with Sky on the entrance ramp once the Tag Team champions are taken care of.

Darnell's involvement however throws Nene off just enough for Adam Cole to take advantage, spiking Nene with a Panama Sunrise and finishing her off with the Last Shot to secure a match with Hank in the main event of No Mercy. As a result, Nene demands a match against Sky at No Mercy from Regal and has her wish granted; stating that if Sky has a hit list all to show the world that she means business, then she better be prepared for her newly found enemies to fire back in the match that will be, by Nene's request, an Ironman match.

No Mercy

------------------------------

No Mercy opens up in the center of Brooklyn with the Tag Team Championship match; Wasteland Blood Vs. The Usos in a ladder match that tears through the bodies of both teams for a 20 minute clash of showcased unity. In the end, Wasteland Blood are just barely able to take the advantage from Jimmy and Jey and capitalize on the opportunity, retaining their titles in convincing fashion.

Roman Reigns, determined to show Karrion Kross that despite their similarities that he is the better man, puts on an absolute war against him for the Openweight Championship in the second match of the night. Even so, no matter what Reigns does to get through Karrion, the merciless monster fights through and defeats Roman Reigns by way of pinfall.

The third match on the card pits submission specialists against one another for the titular championship, that being Pete Dunne and Daniel Bryan who put on another 20 minute match that pushes them both to their very limits.

The match concludes with Bryan not tapping out, but passing out in a tight guillotine choke which Pete Dunne uses to retain the Submission Championship. However, when the match is over, Bryan takes a moment to sit in the ring amongst a clapping audience and claims that, knowing he couldn't beat Ardbert first and Pete Dunne now, he knows he needs to make a change. And he has an idea as to what kind of change.

The fourth match on the card of No Mercy was the one match that the entire pay-per-view was being sold on. Sky, having just returned from her own personal void to finally gain the respect she couldn't earn when she first arrived, sets her sights on a girl who she sees too much of herself in to keep around; Nene. And so, as soon as the bell is rung, the both of them give it their all to brawl like hell from beginning to end in a relentless, brutal, half-hour long fight in which both women walk away with injuries from. However, even with all the perseverance in the world, Sky isn't able to defeat Nene, losing by 3 falls to 4 and coming up short by just that match. Tricky attempts to console her after the bell, but is shoved off while Sky leaves backstage.

In what is presented as one of No Mercy's three main events to cap off the pay-per-view, Bianca Belair defends her UCW Women's Championship against the likes of both Toni Storm and Io Shirai. The match lasts for a decisive 15 minutes with a collection of over-the-top mat wrestling and high-flying spectacle showcased between the three women, ending with Bianca Belair pinning Toni Storm to retain her Women's Championship.

The second to last match on the card of No Mercy is for the most prestigious title in the company; the UCW World Championship, placed in between the wills of Hank J. Wimbleton and Adam Cole. The two of them showcase the absolute best pure wrestling ability they have to offer, and though Adam Cole comes just shy of a 3 count on two occasions, Hank is able to overpower Adam-not without the help of Sanford and Deimos-and retain the world title with a grating laugh.

The main event of the show sees Pico take on AJ Styles for the Undisputed Championship in a match of the year worthy showing. Nearly a full 30 minutes of pure mat wrestling and high moves calls the match from start to finish, and eventually ends with Pico overextending his own offense and giving AJ a chance to capitalize; sealing the victory and allowing him to retain the title. However, after the match, AJ calls for the shocking assistance of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson from the crowd, who emerge with plans to attack Pico until all three of them are warded off by an appearing Boyfriend and Girlfriend to close out the night.

I was gifted a revelation:

WARHAMMER 40,000 AS PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING

Do now the question is: which wrestler is which primarch?

Here are my suggestions, with my logic behind each choice:

Horus Lupercal: Triple H. He's literally a genius strategist and evil as hell but also kinda cool.

Leman Russ: Roman Reigns. Big wolf boi energy.

Ferrus Manus: Damian Priest. He seems like the guy to just pummel the shit out of you.

Fulgrim: Shawn Michaels. Horny af.

Vulkan: Mark Henry. Big black guy who's really nice.

Rogal Dorn: Gunther. Smile? What is that? We're here for business.

Roboute Guilliman: Cody Rhodes. The babyface of all babyfaces.

Magnus the Red: Seth Rollins. Have you seen his outfits?

Sanguinius: CM Punk. Literally no one hates him for some reason.

Lion El'Johnson: Randy Orton. Kinda dark and edgy, his good guy/bad guy status is kinda fluctuating.

Perturabo: Drew MacIntyre. Hates everything and everyone. Especially Dorn/Punk.

Mortarion: The Undertaker. The slow, ominous, unending march of doom.

Lorgar: Bray Wyatt. Creepy cult leader guy.

Jaghatai Khan: Rey Mysterio. Fast, kick your ass before you realize your ass is exposed. Cool as hell.

Konrad Curze: Edge. Literally insane.

Angron: Kane. Big angry red thing.

Crovus Corax: John Cena. You can't see him.

Alpharius Omegon: Chad Gable. Charismatic and kinda weird, technically bad guy but also good? Plotting, scheming, etc.
