November 18th was a whirlwind night with incredible action that only the NRWL could bring you. It all started with a vengeful Mark Blood challenging Killer Malone to match. Prior to the event, John Fraust and Killer Malone planned an attack on Mark Blood. Fraust, a former trainer of Mark Blood, said that Blood was a disappointment. A sneak attack by Malone left Blood with a taste for revenge. At the start of the match, it was obvious that Mark Blood was not going to go down easily. He and Malone traded big blows and even harder slams throughout the match. Blood managed to survive a Beating by Malone and continued to fight on. Ultimately a second Beating was too much and Mark Blood was defeated.
At the last event, Paul Priest exchanged words, and fists (!!!), with Scotty Paris' valet, Trixie. On this night, Scotty was prepared to punish Priest for his actions. Joining Priest at ringside was one of his new cohorts, Tommy Violence. Priest and Scotty wrestled an evenly paced match trading pinfalls and finishing moves. The real action, however, happened outside the ring. Tommy V and Trixie began to argue outside the ring. The fans were conflicted as to where to focus their attention. As Paul Priest and Scotty Paris put on a clinic in the ring, Tommy and Trixie continued to argue all over the arena. Tommy tossed Trixie backstage, removing her from the match. Free from distraction, Tommy tried to interfere on Priest's behalf but was thrown out himself by the referee. Down to a one-on-one match, Scotty Paris came out on top with a pinfall over Paul Priest.
Ash's NRWL Championship victory at the last event was a turning point in his career and the NRWL as a whole. The accomplishment did not go unnoticed as Tommy V criticized Ash. When Ash came out to the ring and responded, Marcus, Mikey Armstrong, and Paul Priest joined him and proceeded to attack the new Champion. Marty Anderson and Balance came down to help Ash, setting up a six man tag match between Marty, Ash, and Balance against Tommy V, Marcus, and Mikey.
Tommy Violence started the match by running at Marty Anderson and getting the first shot. Both men brawl in the ring and Tommy maintaining an early control of the match. Multiple men enter the ring during a kickout attempt and in the brawl that followed, Ash accidentally knocked out the referee. The match continued with both teams showing great teamwork. The match stayed even throughout, keeping fans guessing at who would win. During another heated moment in the ring, Marcus inadvertently punched out the referee. The match continued until Balance was caught out of nowhere with a powerslam by Marcus. Unable to kick out before the three count, Marcus, Tommy, and Mikey celebrated their big victory in the ring.
Fans around the world were talking about the upset victory Bruno Kowalski and Max Destruction had over the Sons of Darkness at the last event. To prove it was a fluke victory, SoD manager Nick Belhor demanded a no disqualification tornado tag rematch. As one would expect, this match was chaos from the moment the bell rang. Showing their larger opponents that their previous victory was no fluke, Bruno and Max held their own in the first minutes of the match. Max slammed Abbadon with the Maximum Destroyer on a chair. Max went for the pin while Bruno, using the same chair, beat Apollyon down to keep him from breaking up the count. Bruno and Max walked away with an impressive victory.
Katsutoshi continued to make a name for himself by challenging John Fraust to an Extreme Rules KO match. Saying that Fraust was washed up, he said he would put him down for good to do him a favor and reap the rewards for himself. Fraust attacked Katsutoshi backstage in response. When the bell rang, Katsutoshi wasted no time, displaying his speed advantage early in the match. After sparring in the ring, Katsutoshi grabbed a ladder and proceeded to beat John Fraust with it. Fraust responded by hitting Katsutoshi in the head with a steel chair, busting open his forehead. The match continued on the outside of the ring for the remainder of the match. After a back and forth fight, Fraust was caught by a spin kick to the head, knocking him out. Katsutoshi walked away with another big win.
To determine the number one contender for the NRWL Championship, Hardcore Adam, Johnny Young, Jacob Washington, and Tiger Johnson met in a Fatal Four Way match. This high energy match showcased four of the most hungry NRWL competitors on the roster. It was obvious that Johnny Young, the previous champion, was singled out as he took most of the attacks early on. Tiger Johnson powerbombed Johnny Young but learned an important lesson: in a Fatal Four Way match, you need to watch everyone. The pin attempt was broken up by the other competitors. The match had many close pinfalls. Late in the match, Johnny and Adam fought each other on one side of the ring while Jacob and Tiger fought on the other side. With Adam and Johnny distracted, Tiger Johnson pinned Jacob Washington to become number one contender.
