LOCATION: Nashville, Tennessee
CAMERA STATUS: OFF
With eyes the color of obsidian and hair dyed as white as snow, the captivating beauty strutted out the curtain with an arrogence about as big as a planet. The small Nashville crowd perched in busted bleachers ceased to react for a split second, too transfixed on her graceful movements and the way her porclaine skin reacted to the beams of light smiling down on her eagerly. A gold cross pendant attached to a necklace hung loosely over the paradoxical clothing which left little to the imagination, swinging back and forth as she sauntered down the aisle with the wrestling ring in her sights.
As the announcer in the center of the ring announced her name, Jessa Valence flashed those famous eyes towards several men in the audience — men who sat next to their wives — and with a simple wink, stirred the crowd to jeer and insult her wildly as their voices echoed off the basement venue's walls. She reveled in it.
With a number one contendership opportunity for the top prize up for grabs in this upcoming main event, Jessa noticed the banners of Insurgency Wrestling Federation and Matthews Enterprises watch over the arena like guardians wordlessly checking in on their investment, the tops curled carefully around horizontal beams on all four walls as if to watch from all four sides. She glanced at her opponents and recoiled to her corner, heart pounding as she noticed the amount of talent in this match.
Jack Napier was the IWF Nashville Champion last week. Losing to the woman known as Coda in a hard-fought battle, Napier was determined to win this match and earn himself a rematch to reclaim what he thought he should have never lost in the first place.
Of course, "The Carnivore" Mason Volkov was here to help him attain the goal. As the third competitor of the fatal fourway match, the muscle-bound henchman of Napier helped Jack cheat to win the championship in the first place. Flexing to the crowd, Carnivore shouted with all his might before giving his partner in crime a proud nod, leaning over to whisper something in his ear.
Jessa glanced at the fourth opponent in Mya Dowling — the beloved daughter of the famed Lieutenant Dowling. With her father's close ties to the Nashville police force, the latina spitfire grew up believing in justice and always doing the right thing. Of course, when pushed to her limits, she wouldn't hold back and instead, Mya showed every ounce of the passion and fury she's been known to have since getting signed to The Trench's independent wrestling program. As the obvious fan favorite to win, she had a lot of pressure on her shoulders and as she glanced back at her opponents, she tried to psyche herself up, shaking the top rope up and down with a shriek that got the crowd cheering even louder!
Once the bell rang, the veteran Volkov and the slimy Jack Napier stuck to the plan. The powerhouse ran forward and hammered Mya with a powerful discus double axe handle strike as Napier set his sights on Jessa Valence with intensity. Before Jack could strike Jessa, Mya had hopped to her feet and landed a running DDT on the former champion, a huge pop generating from the crowd in attendance! Jessa smiled, feigning a gesture of appreciation before suddenly shifting into something much more primal, drilling Mya with a swinging DDT of her own.
Before the woman with the unmistakable white hair can land more offense on Mya, Napier and Volkov surround her with dangerous intentions. Never short on confidence, Jessa doesn't attempt to roll out of the ring or escape the situation. She eyes the two meatheads and gestures for the two of them to run at her. The Carnivore rams towards her wildly and attempts to land a spear but Jessa leapfrogd him like a pro! Before she can land on her feet, however, Jack Napier catches her in an electric chair position and as the larger man slowly begins to climb the top rope, Mya slowly climbs back to her feet. Standing on the apron outside of the ropes, Dowling shakes the ropes like she did before the match, complete with the shriek as well, and watches as the powerhouse fell to the outside!
"They call it high risk for a reason!" Mya shouts to the intimate crowd as she watches him fall.
As Mya approaches Jack Napier and watches him start to fall, she considers helping Jessa once again but as she remembers how it backfired the last time, Mya catches Jessa's neck as Napier falls backward and lands a devastating electric chair neckbreaker combination onto arguably the most talented person in this match! Before Jack Napier can even comment, Mya lands a picture perfect hurricanrana on the former champion to the delight of the crowd. Volkov is back to his feet and starts to approach the apron to enter the ring again but before the man can slide underneath the bottom rope, Mya runs at the ropes with top speed and lands a hellacious suicide dive with every ounce of her emotions on display!
As Mya and Volkov land awkwardly against the barricade like a trainwreck gone wrong, Jack Napier reaches over and attempts to pin Jessa but she kicks out at 2! Stunned and in disbelief, Jack Napier yells at the referee, asking him whether or not he was paid by Jessa Valence just so he would count a little slower. Distracted, Jessa rolls up Jack Napier and goes for her own pin attempt. The smarmy Jack kicks out at two, clearly caught off guard as he pops back to his knees, glaring at Jessa like she's insane for even trying to attempt to win just now. Jessa grinned and before Jack could make it back to his feet, he received a shining wizard for his troubles—
Wait! Jack Napier rolled out of the way!
Lifting Jessa in a fireman's carry position, the former IWF Nashville Champion approaches the corner and climbs the first turnbuckle. Slowly stepping up with Jessa on his shoulders, Jack reaches the second rope and then the top. Without turning around, Jack's back is facing the ring itself and Valence has a good view of Volkov slowly making his way back to his feet. As the powerhouse gets in position on the outside for their patented double team move used to destroy countless others, Jessa starts to squirm. Mya soon follows in hot pursuit and as soon as Jack Napier starts to dumps Jessa Valence to the outside with Volkov ready with the devasting piledriver combination, Mya's at the top of the turnbuckle right behind Jack Napier too!
Attempting to protect Jessa from the effects of the move that could permanently damage Jessa's spine, Mya temporarily foregoes her chance at fighting for the IWF Nashville Championship in order to save someone's career. Wrapping her arms around Jack Napier's waist, she attempts to fall back with all her might and land a German suplex but with the weight of the two combined, Mya isn't able to find enough strength. The crowd pushes her forward, chanting Mya's name over and over, but suddenly... the chanting stops...
Without a single word, the current IWF Nashville Champion runs to ringside and hits Volkov with a ruthless discus elbow strike straight into the corner of the ring! The crowd pops as Coda slides underneath the ropes and shoves Mya off the turnbuckle. Letting her fall lifelessly back to the mat from the height leaves her down as well and as Coda watches, Jack Napier prepares to carelessly dump Jessa to the outside, with or without Volkov lending the assist. Hesitating, the IWF Nashville Champion decides without a word to leave the ring and play the part of Volkov. Standing in position, she catches Jessa in a piledriver position and drops down to her knees!
To everyone's surprise, Jessa's head doesn't touch the ground at all! Coda falls backward and assures Jessa's safety, although she's still knocked down on the outside.
As Coda runs back into the ring like a monster possessed, she climbs the turnbuckle and sets the larger man into the Peace Of Eden position! From the top rope, Jack Napier doesn't expect it but when his body collides with Mya Dowling's writhing body, the two are down for good!
The crowd is in awe as Coda starts to show fatigue. Attempting to suppress her weaknesses to the best of her ability, she grabs Jessa by the back of the neck and walks with her to the ring apron. Throwing her underneath the rope, the gassed champion climbs into the ring again and tugs Jessa Valence closer to Jack Napier. Since there's no-DQ in a fatal fourway match, Coda sets Jessa's hand over Jack's body and the referee counts the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
...
...
THREE!!!!!!
Winner and NEW #1 Contender for the IWF Nashville Championship: Jessa Valence (pin @ 32:43)
Volkov is still on the ground outside the ring. The former champion Jack Napier is writhing in pain alongside the fan favorite Mya Dowling. The victorious Jessa Valence remains among the wreckage as she notices Coda is the last one standing. As Jessa tries to make it to her feet, she flops back to the mat from her lack of strength.
Coda looks down on Jessa Valence with her mouth in a straight line, no words leaving her throat.
Now's her chance!
"Why?" Jessa manages to ask the IWF Nashville Champion, her words quiet and unsure as she groans from the pain. "Why would you do that? After everything I've done to you, Coda...?"
Coda walks away.
