Riley Ferguson Returns in Brutal No-DQ Match
The IWRA Forge crowd erupted as Riley Ferguson made his long-awaited return to the ring after nine months of recovery. The former rising star had been sidelined by a brutal beatdown from Brandon Colt, but tonight, he stepped back into the spotlight in a no disqualifications war against the unpredictable and ruthless Scorpion.
Would Riley prove he still had what it takes, or would Scorpion send him back to the hospital?
Scorpion Starts Strong
The moment the bell rang, Scorpion exploded out of the gate, immediately slamming Riley to the mat. He was relentless, driving Riley down onto his knee before ascending the top turnbuckle and crashing onto Riley with a double axe-handle.
With Riley still re-adjusting to the ring after his long absence, it seemed like Scorpion was going to bulldoze through him.
But Riley wasn’t about to be steamrolled.
As Scorpion moved in for another attack, Riley suddenly grabbed him and hurled him across the ring, shifting the momentum in an instant.
Riley Fights Back
Riley took control, twisting Scorpion’s head and slamming him down hard onto the mat. He went for an early pin attempt, but Scorpion kicked out at two.
Looking to end things quickly, Riley grabbed a sledgehammer from under the ring, but before he could swing it, Scorpion knocked it away and countered, delivering a series of brutal kicks that left Riley reeling.
Scorpion took advantage, picking up the sledgehammer himself and aiming for maximum destruction.
Riley barely managed to roll away before the hammer came crashing down, but Scorpion stayed on him, whipping him into the ropes and dropping him with a picture-perfect dropkick.
As Riley struggled to his feet, Scorpion went for his signature weapon—his acid spit.
A blinding green mist sprayed into Riley’s face, causing him to stagger back as the crowd booed the dirty tactic. Scorpion wasted no time, kicking Riley in the face and attempting a pin.
1… 2… Kick out!
Riley Snaps
Riley, still half-blinded, managed to dodge Scorpion’s next attack and kicked him away with a sudden burst of power. He lifted Scorpion onto his shoulders and dropped him throat-first onto the ropes, stunning his opponent.
Now it was Riley’s turn to go hardcore.
He reached under the ring and pulled out a kendo stick, waiting for Scorpion to stumble to the outside.
The moment Scorpion stepped through the ropes, Riley swung the stick straight into his skull!
The first hit sent Scorpion crashing to the floor. Riley wasn’t done. He unleashed a savage flurry of strikes, hammering Scorpion until the kendo stick shattered into splinters.
The fans roared as Riley stood tall, breathing heavily, his ring rust shaken off completely.
A Back-and-Forth War to the Finish
The two warriors brawled in and outside the ring, each refusing to stay down. Scorpion nearly got Riley counted out, but Ferguson dug deep and fought back into the match.
Riley attempted a pin after a crushing suplex, but Scorpion kicked out at the last second.
Frustrated but determined, Riley decided to end it once and for all. He lifted Scorpion high and drove him into the mat with a devastating powerslam.
1… 2… 3!
Riley Ferguson is Back!
As the referee raised his hand, Riley let out a victorious roar, celebrating his hard-fought return victory. The road to recovery had been brutal, but tonight, he proved he was still a force to be reckoned with.
But with Brandon Colt still lurking in Forge, is Riley on a collision course with the man who put him in the hospital?
One thing is certain—Riley Ferguson is back, and he’s ready for war.
