SWWS Overload Matches
Opening Match
The Crimson Bouquet vs. The Vegas Strip
At SWWS Overload, it kicked off with the intense clash between Crimson Bouquet, represented by the formidable duo of Lillie Saint and Crazy Violet, and the flamboyant duo of The Vegas Strip, consisting of Rachel Vegas and Ruby Garner.
The atmosphere was electric as Crimson Bouquet took center stage with a fiery promo, only to be rudely interrupted by The Vegas Strip. The tension skyrocketed when the former Paradigm Tag Team Champions threw down the gauntlet, challenging The Vegas Strip for an impromptu showdown.
In the early stages of the match, Crimson Bouquet dominated, showcasing their undeniable chemistry and experience as a team. However, The Vegas Strip managed to turn the tide by ruthlessly targeting Lillie Saint's vulnerable back, trying to weaken a key member of Crimson Bouquet.
Just when it seemed like The Vegas Strip was gaining control, the resilient Saint made a hot tag to Crazy Violet. This sparked a spectacular turnaround as the momentum swung back in favor of Crimson Bouquet.
The climax of the match reached its pinnacle when Ruby Garner attempted the Rubix, only to be met with the stunning Forget Me Not delivered by Violet, who seamlessly combined forces with Saint. The move secured the victory for Crimson Bouquet, reaffirming their status as a force to be reckoned with in the SWWS Tag Team division.
In the end, the night belonged to Crimson Bouquet as they celebrated a hard-fought and well-deserved triumph over The Vegas Strip.
Singles Match
Octavio Medina vs. Neron Yago w/Ignacia
Here we go with a wild singles match between Octavio Medina and the dastardly Neron Yago, accompanied by the ever-intriguing Ignacia!
In one corner, we've got Octavio Medina, the life of the party, and a man who knows how to get the crowd pumped. On the other side, Neron Yago, a cunning rule-breaker with a criminal streak, isn't afraid to use every dirty trick in the book to secure a win.
The match kicks off with both high-flyers showcasing their aerial prowess, thrilling the audience with gravity-defying moves. Medina, fueled by the cheers of the crowd, fights back with his innovative luchador maneuvers, keeping the momentum swinging in his favor.
Enter Ignacia, not one to shy away from getting involved. As the match progresses, she seizes an opportunity to disrupt the action, creating a distraction that allows Yago to capitalize on the chaos.
In the final moments, Yago, exploiting the opening created by Ignacia, goes for the dirty pin. Despite Medina's valiant efforts, the referee fails to see the underhanded tactics, and Yago steals the victory through nefarious means.
As the camera cuts following the match, we see executive producer Suzie Skellington looking visibly displeased with the cheating ways of Yago and Ignacia.
Tag Team Match
Justin Shane & Jake Smith vs. The Vilaro Legion
We kick things off with a bit of history—Smith & Shane, former SWWS World Tag Team Champions, hungry for redemption after losing their titles at Royal Cup. On the flip side, The Vilaro Legion, members of the despised Conglomerate, once held the prestigious tag titles.
From the get-go, Smith & Shane assert their dominance, showcasing a perfect blend of technical prowess and brawling skills. Shane, the brawler of the duo, throws down with his hard-hitting style, while Smith dazzles with his technical finesse.
Despite The Vilaro Legion's attempts to turn the tide, Smith & Shane seem a step ahead, leaving their opponents struggling to mount any significant offense. The crowd, firmly behind the fan-favorite duo, erupts with cheers as Smith and Shane dictate the pace.
In the nail-biting climax, it's Smith who locks in the Omoplata, applying the submission hold with precision. Miguel, trapped and unable to escape, is forced to tap out, securing the victory for Smith & Shane.
The crowd roars with approval as Smith and Shane celebrate their well-earned triumph. The defeated Vilaro Legion slink away, their villainous ways once again falling short against the fan-favorite duo.

Opening Match
King Silas Romero vs. Ramon Vidal
The atmosphere is electric as SWWS Live kicks off, and the crowd is buzzing with anticipation for the opening match featuring King Silas Romero and the “Sun Spider” Ramon Vidal.
Romero, fresh from his triumph in the prestigious King's Cup, strides to the ring with an air of arrogance, embodying the essence of a ruthless villain. His reputation for technical wizardry and calculated aggression precedes him, setting the stage for a clash of styles against the high-flying Vidal.
On the other side, Vidal, a freak athlete and beloved figure in Puerto Rico, is on a mission to make his mark at Nights of the Caribbean. The crowd erupts in cheers, eager to witness their local hero shine on the grand stage.
The bell rings, and the match is underway. Romero wastes no time asserting his dominance, utilizing his cunning technical prowess to take control of the pace. The crowd watches in awe as Romero meticulously dictates the flow of the contest, showcasing his mastery of the squared circle.
Just when it seems like Romero has Vidal trapped in his web of expertise, the hometown hero unleashes his freakish athleticism. Vidal's comeback is a spectacle, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats. The highlight of the match arrives when Vidal defies gravity, soaring through the air with a breathtaking frog splash. The hangtime is extraordinary, earning him a close two-count and igniting the crowd with excitement.
However, the resilient Romero proves why he wears the crown. In the final moments, he outwrestles Vidal, showcasing a level of strategic brilliance that reaffirms his moniker as the King. The Arkham Asylum submission hold is locked in, and Vidal, trapped in the clutches of Romero's dominance, has no choice but to tap out.
As the bell rings, the crowd is left in awe of the intense battle they've just witnessed. Romero's victory sends a clear message – he is ready for the looming SWWS World Heavyweight Championship opportunity at SWWS Homecoming. The King has declared his intentions, and the SWWS universe is left eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Romero's quest for ultimate glory.
KAOS Continues Their Path; Gold interjects and announces her hand picked representative tonight.
KAOS music starts to play… the fans booing and expressing their dislike towards the group. First one to come out was Davina Knox, the bruiser, muscle of the group. Next was Kylie Ravers and Nikki Payne. Kylie being more the crafty silent hitman for the group. Nikki, the younger sister of Amber Payne is the more devious one out of them all. Finally, appearing from the back as the crowd boos become more and louder is the SWWS Pacific Champion, the Queen of Strong Style Amber Payne. She moves around Davina and stands in front, holding the belt up with her right hand. Ladies take their left hands, bend the pointer and ring finger down to make KAOS hand sign. After standing on the stage for a minute or so, all four ladies proceed down the ramp. All of them dressed in street clothes. All of them climb into the ring and stand in the middle facing the camera. The music fades out and fans booing more and more. Amber signally wants the microphone to speak. She walks back over to the middle with her sisters standing on both sides of her. She waits for the fans to wait as she looks out to the crowd.
Amber: “Let me remind you people who I am. I am the Queen of Strong Style, The Huntress Amber Payne. I am the longest reigning and defending SWWS Pacific Champion!”
Amber waits for the fans to stop booing. Nikki expression of rolling her eyes in the back of her head. Davina standing tall, arms crossed not moving. Kylie looked not impressed by the fans.
Amber: “ The ladies behind me… my friends… my sisters...my comrades. My little sister, The Princess of Pain, soon to be Princess of Strong Style Nikki Payne. The monster standing behind me “The Destroyer” Davina Knox. My right hand woman, “The Assassin” Kylie Ravers. WE ARE KAOS!!!”
Amber panders to the crowd. Holding the mic up for fans to keep booing more. She gives a smirk. The other members of KAOS reach around each other and high fives each other.
Amber: “Boo all you want. You all know since day one arriving here at Southwest Wrestling Syndicate, we have been dominant as a cohesive unit. We are the former Paradigm Tag Team Champions. As of late, our names have been spoken more times than anyone else on this roster. That is what everyone does here, talk. Everytime our names are mentioned, that is more attention for us. However….someone else figures she could step into our light and think she needs the attention. That is you Lexi Gold.”
The fans start to cheer by the sheer mention of her name. Amber twists her head, side to side. The smirk she had now turns in the angry face she feels no one should ever see… The other members shaking their heads. Nikki was angry, covering her eyes not listening to fans cheering…
Amber: “ See Lexi you think winning a few matches here and there, you think you deserve a title shot at MY title? No. You think trying to embarrass me and my sisters will win favors to jump ahead of the line? No. Insulting my sisters, my friends thinking there is nothing to me? Hell no. These women behind me had my backs since day one. All three of them are equal to me. As everyone can see, you turned your back on everyone that was close to you. Calling my sisters lackeys is the reason what happened to you last week. We made a statement to you that you have no chance of getting a shot at my title. You are lucky we didn’t end your career last week. So take the hint Lexi, stay out of our way. If you don't, I will make you regret it.”
Amber sits down on the mat and allows the fans to express the emotions by booing them. Amber waves the camera to come closer…
Amber: “ Lexi you're not the first little girl who thinks it’s cute to press the buttons of the big bad wolf. The last few have tried to with or with anyone of KAOS, ended up retired or leaving the company. So I do not know what is your obsession with pressing mine or trying so hard to get the attention you want. Is that cute boyfriend ignoring you? Next time when I put you in the hospital, I can pay him a visit and show him what a real woman is all about and feels……
Before Amber could get another word out, Lexi Gold music started to play. Immediately all three members of KAOS get in fight stances ready to beat down Lexi. Amber stands up and places the title in the corner and looks up at the aisle with the rest of her sisters waiting for Lexi. Suddenly the crowd popped with a cheer. The camera pans over to one side of the crowd. Among the wild and loyal fans, there stood Lexi Gold, surrounded by some screaming fans. While they seemed cheerful by her sudden appearance, it became clear she didn't share that same feeling as she looked at Amber with cold, dead eyes, holding a Kendo stick in her hands. Without wasting any more time, she motions for some fans to move as she starts sprinting toward the ring. Eventually, she climbs over the barricade, runs and slides into the ring. Members of KAOS stand opposite the ring, ready to fight. Lexi stands across from them and twirls her Kendo stick. Amber motions Davina to be the first one to attack Lexi. Davina rushes towards Lexi only to fall victim to a trip into the middle rope and Lexi repeatedly striking her Kendo Stick in Davina’s back. Kylie was next to go after Lexi to help her tag team partner. Lexi had other plans as she senses Kylie coming towards her and turns her attention to Kylie, striking her across the stomach and then striking her in the head with the stick. Kylie goes down to the side, Davina hanging on the ropes facing the stage. Nikki, with her attitude, walks up to Lexi and says a few words to her. Lexi doesn’t hesitate and hits her in the head with Kendo Stick sending Nikki down to the mat covering her head in pain. All that was left was Amber. Both ladies smile with evil intent to harm each other. Amber waved Lexi to come at her, mouthing the words. Lexi licks her lips and twirls the Kendo stick shaking her head. Lexi rushes for Amber, Amber then goes for a clothesline but Lexi ducks under. Amber turns around and meets with Lexi swinging the Kendo Stick in Amber’s stomach. Amber goes down in pain covering her stomach to all fours, then Lexi unleashes hell on Amber as she swings repeatedly and viciously strike after strike after strike into Amber’s back. Amber dropping down to the mat and rolling away under the ropes. The rest of the KAOS members do the same. Davina grabs the belt before Lexi can. Camera pans up and sees the kane almost completely destroyed. Lexi rushes towards the ropes as KAOS backs off and holds each other up. This is the first time in a long time KAOS has been battered and nearly defeated by one person….
Before matters could escalate further, Suzie Skellington emerges from the backstage area, clutching a microphone in her hand. Taking center stage, she addresses the situation.
Suzie Skellington: Enough is enough. Lexi, you made your point already. I won’t tolerate any more of this. The tension has escalated beyond control. Luckily, the both of you will be able to channel more of your frustrations in singles action tonight. As the rules state you both will have the opportunity to hand select an opponent of your choosing.
The crowd cheers as KAOS and Lexi look on.
Suzie Skellington: Lexi has spoken to me a little earlier over who she has chosen and I’m here to reveal that person. She is a woman who Lexi took under her wing and trained with last year. While she took a hiatus from the ring. Now she is ready to return to in-ring competition and have that breakout moment. Tonight we will witness Amber Payne versus Elena Sofka in a non-title match.
KAOS isn't impressed but hurting. Amber gestures to have the microphone. Grimace on her face from the Kendo Stick shots. However, Amber smiles looking back at Suzie…
Amber: “Send the lamb to be slaughtered, I am fine with that.”
Amber turns to face Lexi…
Amber: “ When I am done with your little prodigy Lexi, I am not going to send off for another hiatus, I am going to make sure she nevers steps foot back here again. As for your opponent, you can wait until your match.”
Amber starts to walk away from the ring, KAOS members follow behind. Halfway up the ramp, Amber stops. Lexi puts her hands up gesturing “what now”...
Amber: “Lexi, I may have enemies….” Amber spins around looking at Lexi, pointing her right pointer finger at Lexi.. “But I know you have more enemies than me.”
The camera pans back to the ring, where Lexi is seen leaning against the ropes, shaking her head. Deep down she knew that was the furthest thing from the truth.
Match #2
Kasey Kash vs. Jessie B
As the curtains rise for the second bout at SWWS Live, the arena is abuzz with anticipation for the showdown between Kasey Kash and the cunning Jessie B. The stage is set for an intense clash, with Kash determined to rebound from his defeat in the King's Cup Finals and Jessie B wreaking havoc after attacking Octavio Medina.
Kash, known for his ultraviolent brawler style, steps into the ring as a fan favorite. Despite his aggressive approach, the audience adores him for his tenacity and never-say-die attitude. On the flip side, Jessie B, a cowardly villain, enters with a reputation for underhanded tactics, always seeking opportunities to gain the upper hand.
From the moment the bell rings, Kash takes control, asserting his dominance with a display of strength and resilience. The audience is on their feet, rallying behind Kash as he weathers Jessie B's attempts to exploit every advantage. The cheers reverberate through the arena, creating an electric atmosphere.
In the climax of the match, Kash unleashes his signature move—the Lucker Stomp. The ring shakes as he lands the impactful maneuver, securing the victory. The crowd explodes in cheers, recognizing Kash's undeniable prowess and resilience.
Post-match, the audience showers Kash with love and appreciation for his relentless spirit. The cheers echo through the arena, acknowledging Kash as a true force to be reckoned with in the SWWS universe. On the flip side, Jessie B, defeated and humiliated, slinks away, met with the laughter and mockery of the crowd. It's a moment of sweet redemption for Kash, and the audience's response serves as a resounding testament to the unwavering support for their beloved fan-favorite.
Match #3
SWWS Paramount Championship
Gavin Paine w/Melissa Tasman vs. Jerk The Synonymous
The match begins with a technical showcase, both competitors displaying their skills with a clean and respectful wrestling style. The audience is hooked on the sportsmanship between Paine and Jerk, making the atmosphere charged with anticipation.
As Jerk gains momentum and overzealously takes control, the crowd witnesses a surprising turn. Paine, known for his cunning tactics, plays possum, giving the illusion that Jerk's onslaught has taken a toll on him. The audience, unaware of Paine's scheme, starts to rally behind him, sympathizing with what appears to be a valiant effort to fight through adversity.
Just when Jerk believes he has Paine on the ropes, the resilient champion fights from underneath, surprising everyone with a burst of offense. The seesaw battle intensifies, with the crowd fully invested in the back-and-forth action.
As Jerk attempts the Mast Shaker, Paine executes his master plan. In a swift move, he drops behind Jerk and, with a sly grin, "tweaks" his own knee, creating the illusion of a significant injury. The audience gasps in shock at the unexpected turn of events.
The referee, unaware of Paine's deception, begins the count. Paine, selling the "injury" convincingly, gets counted out. The referee awards the victory to Jerk, thinking Paine is genuinely unable to continue. The crowd is left in disbelief as Jerk celebrates what he believes is a hard-fought triumph.

Match #4
Lexi Gold vs. Amber Payne’s Choice
Many wondered who would be the opponent for Lexi Gold in tonight's event. In quite a surprise, the call to action was answered by the self proclaimed Duchess of SWWS, Michelle Jenkins. While she wasn’t flanked by her husband, Reginald Baroni, Jenkins noticed that KAOS had come out onto the stage to ensure the victory for Jenkins.
Gold and Jenkins tested the waters against one another early in the contest, showing some strong technical wrestling along the way. It was Jenkins who surprised Gold by showcasing her classic British Strong Style approach. Amber Payne watched on with a smirk as Jenkins overwhelmed Gold by stretching her.
The momentum didn’t last for the Duchess, however, as Gold fired back with a series of incredible moves, including a beautiful swan dive plancha to the outside of the ring. Davina Knox made her way down to the ringside area to distract Gold, allowing Jenkins to recover and nearly put the Golden Goddess down with a bridging T-Bone Suplex.
Gold rallied back once more, showing her spirit as she feigned a distraction from Knox to capture Jenkins with a half nelson cradle for the victory. At first, Amber Payne was disgusted by Gold’s victory, but had a firm reminder that she was going to have a much easier contest later on tonight.
Match #5
Kimberly Chase & Novia Vidal vs. The Two Mystery Attackers
After months of wondering who attacked Kimberly Chase, we finally got our answer. At the forefront of this contest was the alliance between Kimberly Chase and Novia Vidal. The trust was there for the two as they were to take on two dangerous competitors.
Novia Vidal kicked off the match against the smaller masked wrestler. Each time Novia tried to attack, the larger masked wrestler would pull the smaller one away. Even after locking up, the two weren’t able to get the advantage over one another. This led to a demand from the smaller masked wrestler to get Kimberly Chase into the ring.
Novia tagged in Chase, bringing the former Paradigm Tag Team Champion into the match. Before the two could even lock horns, the smaller masked wrestler removed her mask… IT WAS IGNACIA!!
The audience, unpleased with Ignacia, could only watch on as she ducked a right hand from Kimberly and scampered across the ring. As soon as Kimberly turned around, she was met with a Shotgun Dropkick from Novia Vidal!!! The crowd erupted in jeers as Vidal and Ignacia put the boots to Kimberly, setting her up for the larger masked wrestler to climb into the ring. After unmasking herself, Mexican wrestling Powerhouse Luz Guerrera picked up Kimberly Chase and delivered a modified Chokeslam. The three stood over Kimberly Chase before exiting the ring.
At the top of the stage, the mastermind behind the group showed his face as Neron Yago welcomed Novia Vidal in with open arms. The four mocked Chase from the stage before making their way to the back, cementing a shocking moment in SWWS.
Steve Clark Reflects
After the difficult moment of coming up short in the Royal Cup, many wondered where Steve Clark’s head was at. Clark, who was with Pazia Mantzios, acknowledged that he had been fighting a losing battle against other stars in SWWS. While he did state that he was on the outside looking in, Clark pointed out that his frustration fueled passion.
Clark made it clear that his moment would come, and it would come soon. He wanted gold.
Match #6
Arata Asakura vs. Kristjan Halvorsen
Ahead of his match against Touma Ito at Nights of the Caribbean, Arata Asakura wanted to make a statement against the Conglomerate’s Golden Jewel, Kristjan Halvorsen. In a surprise twist, Nicholas Gabriel did not come out to the ring with Halvorsen for the contest, opting to let the Dutch Destroyer go it alone.
What happened next was fully expected. Both men had one hell of a hard hitting match. Asakura varied in his strikes, taking advantage in the early part of the contest, but it was Halvorsen’s power and explosive nature that brought him right back into the game. In the private suite, Gabriel sat with Yoshiharu Kubo and Touma Ito to scout Asakura inside of the ring.
Things began to heat up as Halvorsen was able to avoid the Double A by catching him into a Doctor Bomb for a near fall. Despite the heavy battle between the two, it was Asakura’s ability to adapt inside of the ring that gave him the submission victory with the Touch Of Gold after nearly twenty minutes of non-stop fighting.
After the contest, Touma Ito stood up in the suit and peered down at Asakura. The Self Made Man was set to face Mr. Nine Stars at Nights of the Caribbean, a match that surely will not disappoint.
A Surprise Appearance AND A Challenge Made
We saw the return of one of the most prestigious groups in SWWS’s history. A challenge commenced as we can now confirm this contest WILL take place at SWWS Homecoming at The Big House in Michigan.

Match #7
Non-Title Match
Amber Payne vs. Elena Sofka
If there ever was a mismatch, this was it. SWWS Pacific Champion Amber Payne had made her intentions known as she watched Lexi Gold overcome Michelle Jenkins earlier in the night. While that was a surprise opponent for Lexi, Amber knew she was up against the rookie Elena Sofka. What she didn’t know, though, Elena was going to put up a fight.
That fight began early with Payne overpowering Sofka with ease. The experience of the Champion proved to be overwhelming in the early stages of the contest. Sofka would fire back with incredible agility and innovative moves, but it would keep boiling back to the KAOS Member’s ring prowess.
Sofka was outmatched, no question. Amber Payne delivered three consecutive Shining Wizards to Sofka, taking her time as she had done so. This brought out Lexi Gold and The Sydney Experience, who wanted nothing more than to get into the ring to stop Payne’s onslaught. With Sofka motionless on the canvas, Payne sat down and leaned back on Sofka for an easy cover. Just before the three, Sofka hooked the arms of Payne and rolled her back with a sudden and shocking victory in eight minutes!
The stunning upset brought Knox, Ravers, and Nikki Payne out to try and attack Sofka, but Gold had pulled the rookie out of the ring. The audience erupted for the upset, with the shocked and infuriated KAOS members watching the Champion. She was no longer the confident Champion, but something much more sinister. This might have been the worst thing to happen to Gold, The Sydney Experience, and Sofka.
Queen Josie Grey Makes Her Proclamation
After the coronation on the last episode of SWWS Live, we saw the newly crowned Queen of SWWS on her throne. Flanked by her wolves, Queen Josie Grey had few words. Those words, they traveled miles.
“I’ve listened for years in SWWS. I’ve heard it all. The Queen heard everything. When the crown was bestowed on my head, a scepter put into my hand, and my beloved companions put by my side, all I could think about was Homecoming. New Meets Old. My moment against Emmanuelle. Emmanuelle has been through everybody, at least.. That’s what they want you to think. Emmanuelle has not beaten me here. She hasn’t had the pleasure of putting me down in this ring. The old guard is gone, but the new and improved Queen has taken over. It’s my moment at Homecoming. It’s my reality at Homecoming.
If someone else decides to join, they’ll be facing that same reality. The Queen will wear the gold. As much as you’ll say that I’ve changed, I want you to hear this clearly. Emmanuelle, Runa Olsen, Novia Vidal, anyone who is my path at Homecoming.. I haven’t changed, no. The world has changed around me. I’ll watch Nights of the Caribbean on my throne, and I’ll learn exactly what I need to do. I’ll prepare for any of you, but do you know what to expect out of me? No friends. Only the Royal Treatment.”
Match #8
Non-Title Match
Emmanuelle vs. Melissa Tasman w/Gavin Paine
In one of the most anticipated matches of the evening, the SWWS World Champion Emmanuelle entered Monroe to a gigantic ovation for her match with Melissa Tasman. Tasman, who had been gaining momentum on SWWS television as well as on non-televised bouts, was becoming more of a household name with every match she had. The spitfire looked to be ready to face the Champion and assert herself into the title picture on the road to Homecoming.
The match went as expected. The hard hitting style of the Platinum Standard against the speed and daredevil ways of Tasman. From the opening bell, it looked as if both were complete equals in the ring, using their styles to their advantages. In one of the more memorable spots of the night featured Tasman delivering the Tope Con Hilo which sent both women into the first two rows.
As the match went on, the power game of Emmanuelle began to take shape. She narrowly avoided a Blockbuster with a delayed side suplex, which included a count from the audience for the amount of time that Tasman was in the air.
After nearly twenty five minutes of action, Tasman took one risk too many. The death defying Devil leapt off the ropes for the Tasmelian Devil, but nobody was home. The Champion took advantage by delivering the Maximus Driver for the victory that wow’d the audience from bell to bell.
After the contest, Emmanuelle and Tasman shared a moment of respect for each other. Both competitors underestimated each other, but that fifty-fifty type of match was one to remember for the audience.
Main Event
SWWS Paradigm Tag Team Championship
Marisol Vilaro On Commentary
Veronica Taylor & Chantay Lavoie vs. Dr. Runa Olsen & Justina Jade
And then it was our main event of the evening. Taylor and Lavoie have been the Paradigm Tag Team Champions since T3, but this match was going to be their big test. Runa Olsen was seemingly unstoppable and Justina Jade had gained a cult following with her charisma and attitude.
With Lavoie and Olsen starting the match, it didn’t take long to see that Olsen was on top of her game. Despite her inexperience teaming with Jade, the Paradigm Legacy Gauntlet winner had no problem handling Lavoie. Then came Taylor, and suddenly the teamwork of the Champions kicked in. Olsen, knowing she needed time to recover, tagged in Jade.
With Jade battling Taylor and Lavoie on separate occasions, it became more evident that heart was going to play a tremendous factor in the match. Each time things looked rough for Jade, she continued to fight as if her life had depended on it. For several minutes, however, her perseverance was tested after being double teamed.
Each time Jade attempted to make the hot tag, it kept falling short. Marisol Vilaro, bragging on commentary about how Taylor and Lavoie were successful because of the Vilaro System, mocked Runa Olsen for doing things her own way. As Vilaro said, ‘The wrong way’. Whether or not Olsen had heard the comments, she knew that Vilaro wasn’t going to say anything positive.
It was then, the big moment. Jade fought like a hellcat to get away from the Champions, making the last second dive to bring Runa Olsen into the ring. Olsen’s fire was deep with the comeback of the Challengers. Olsen, seeing Vilaro’s face on both Taylor and Lavoie, unleashed incredible offense to gain several near falls. This brought Vilaro away from the commentary table and straight into the action.
Olsen, not giving up on the fight, took it to the air to battle Vilaro on the outside of the ring. The distraction proved costly for the challengers, however, as the referee didn’t spot Tyrone hitting the ring and throwing Jade off of the top rope. The Champions took advantage of the opportunity, delivering The Beauty Shot to Jade to score the victory after nearly thirty minutes of action to retain the Championships.
Tension Boils Over; Match Announced for Nights of the Caribbean
After the match, Team Vilaro continued their assault on Justina Jade. Tyrone, Isaiah Andrews, Darius Stone, and Kristjan Halvorsen joined in on the action, along with Nicholas Gabriel. Suddenly, the game changed. Daniel Horror, Jimmy Johnson, Lillie Saint, Crazy Violet, Derek Trigg, and the SWWS World Heavyweight Champion Jacob Striker hit the ring and defended Justina Jade against the Conglomerate. Vilaro made her swift exit, being chased out by Runa Olsen.
As the brawl continued, Veronica Landis emerged on the stage and demanded that everyone quit fighting. The fight continued, leading to Landis making a landmark announcement for the Puerto Rico event.
“Clearly you can’t listen to reason, so.. Fuck it. You want to fight so badly and have this whole warfare going? We can do that..again. At SWWS Nights of the Caribbean, ALL OF YOU will be busy. The Conglomerate.. Jacob Striker, Crimson Bouquet, Derek Trigg, Daniel Horror, Jimmy Johnson.. Settle it.. In CAGED WARFARE!!!!”
The crowd erupted in cheers as Caged Warfare was set to make it’s return at Nights of the Caribbean. The elimination style War Games was going to be the end of the Conglomerate/Jacob Striker war.
