A Night of Chaos and Rising Tensions

The latest episode of IWRA Forge kicked off with an electrifying start as Casey Crawford stood in the ring alongside the IWRA Forge Women’s Champion, Dani Fox. Casey took the opportunity to introduce a new addition to the IWRA roster, Maggie-May Dallas. She announced that the upcoming Women’s Rumble at Armageddon would be a platform for fresh talent, allowing new wrestlers like Maggie-May to make their mark.

Maggie-May, visibly grateful for the opportunity, entered the ring and thanked Casey for the chance to compete on such a grand stage. However, the moment of celebration was quickly disrupted when the unmistakable entrance music of Lazzara blared through the arena. Lazzara, frustrated and fuming, appeared on the stage, expressing her resentment over being overlooked in the draft. She accused the IWRA management of wasting her talent and demanded recognition.

Dani Fox, unwilling to back down from a confrontation, assured Casey that she would handle the situation. She marched up the ramp and, without hesitation, punched Lazzara in the face. The two wrestlers erupted into a furious brawl, with officials rushing in to separate them. As the chaos unfolded, Maggie-May made a strategic exit, telling the women that she would see them at Armageddon. Casey, in the midst of the turmoil, turned her attention back to the ring—only to be blindsided by a shocking attack from Terri Bowlin.

Terri, dressed in her classic wrestling attire, wasted no time in taking down Casey. Before more damage could be done, John Cole intervened and dragged Terri away momentarily, but as soon as the bell rang, the match was officially underway. Terri showed no mercy, repeatedly kicking Casey in the head. Casey, demonstrating her resilience, managed to roll away and get back on her feet. She responded with an aggressive counterattack, knocking Terri down with a powerful clothesline and following up with brutal stomps.

The action spilled outside the ring, where Casey dominated, executing a series of punishing moves. Terri, struggling to regain control, managed to elbow her way out of a painful head twist and threw Casey back into the ring. As Terri climbed back in, Casey swiftly locked her into a submission hold, putting immense pressure on her opponent. Terri barely managed to break free and retaliated by launching Casey across the ring. The two competitors locked up once again, but Terri delivered a game-changing punch that sent Casey crashing to the mat.

Terri continued her onslaught, focusing on Casey’s arm and back, delivering a devastating elbow drop to her face. She then swung Casey into the ropes and, as she rebounded, lifted her into the air before slapping her across the face. Casey, stunned and clutching her face, rolled out of the ring, but Terri wasn’t done. In a daring move, Terri somersaulted over the ropes and landed on Casey, continuing her brutal assault. However, her momentum was cut short when she miscalculated a move and landed hard on her knees.

Seizing the opportunity, Casey took back control, leveling Terri with a vicious clothesline and delivering a flurry of powerful blows. She dragged Terri back into the ring, targeting her legs and locking her into yet another submission hold. Terri, determined not to stay down, fought her way out and responded with a devastating clothesline of her own. The battle raged on, with Casey executing a picture-perfect German suplex that sent Terri crashing to the mat.

With one final push, Casey locked Terri into another submission hold, leaving her with no choice but to tap out. As the bell rang, Casey stood victorious, while Terri lay exhausted on the ring mat. The night had been a whirlwind of unexpected encounters and fierce battles, setting the stage for an explosive showdown at Armageddon.

With tensions running high and new competitors making their presence known, the IWRA Women’s Division is proving to be more unpredictable than ever. The upcoming Women’s Rumble at Armageddon is shaping up to be an unmissable event, with rivalries reigniting and new talent eager to make history. One thing is certain—when the bell rings at Armageddon, chaos will reign supreme.

Jim Braddock Retains Storm Championship After Brutal Assault on Tommy Hawkins

The IWRA Storm Men’s Championship was on the line as reigning champion Jim Braddock defended his title against Tommy Hawkins in a match filled with intensity, history, and ultimately, controversy. These two warriors have clashed multiple times over the years, both in singles competition and tag team battles, but on this night, their rivalry reached new levels of brutality.

A Prematch Ambush
Before Tommy Hawkins even had a chance to enter the ring, Jim Braddock launched a vicious assault from behind, using the championship belt as a weapon to knock his challenger to the floor. The champion wasted no time, stomping on Tommy and attempting to drag him up, but Tommy fought back with a swift kick, knocking Jim backward. What followed was a furious barrage of strikes from Tommy, who refused to let the ambush define his night. The former Forge Champion leaped onto Jim multiple times, unleashing his frustration, before throwing him into the ring.

Circling the ring, Tommy prepared to enter, but Jim had other plans. The champion dove through the ropes, tackling Tommy to the ground outside. Both men scrambled to their feet, but Tommy was a step ahead, rocking Jim backward with a precise punch before taking him down with an electrifying hurricanrana.

Tommy’s Aerial Assault
With Jim down, Tommy put his high-flying offense on display, delivering a relentless series of moonsaults onto his opponent. However, on his fifth attempt, Jim managed to get his knees up, causing Tommy to crash and roll to the side, winded from the impact. Seizing the moment, Jim threw Tommy back into the ring and climbed in after him, but Tommy had already recovered, launching another attack before sending Jim crashing into the turnbuckles.

Tommy signalled for one of his signature moves, the Fly-by. Wrapping Jim in the ropes, Tommy slid beneath him, yanking the champion backward and slamming him onto the mat. Wasting no time, Tommy hit his devastating finisher, the Crash Landing, and covered Jim for what seemed like the inevitable three-count. But at the very last second, Jim kicked out, defying all expectations and frustrating Tommy in the process.

Braddock Brothers Strike Again
Determined to put the champion away, Tommy climbed the ropes, preparing for another high-risk manoeuvre. As Jim staggered to his feet, Tommy launched himself, hitting a hurricanrana that seamlessly transitioned into a pinning combination. The crowd held its breath as the referee counted—one, two—but somehow, Jim kicked out yet again.

Refusing to let up, Tommy delivered two more moonsaults and looked to end the match once and for all. But Jim Braddock always has a trick up his sleeve, and this time, it came in the form of his brother, Zac Braddock. Bursting into the ring, Zac blindsided referee John Cole, driving a punch into his spine before tossing him to the outside.

With no official in the ring, Zac turned his attention to Tommy, pulling him off Jim and delivering a ruthless beatdown. He pummelled Tommy into the mat, refusing to let up until John Cole managed to pull him away. However, the damage was done. As Cole officially called off the match, Jim and Zac celebrated their underhanded tactics, revelling in the chorus of boos from the crowd.

Not content with their attack, Jim retrieved a steel chair from beneath the ring and handed it to Zac, who chased off John Cole before slamming the chair down onto Tommy’s already battered body. Then, in a final act of dominance, Zac handed the chair to his brother, allowing Jim to deliver his own punishing chair shot.

The Braddock Brothers stood tall over Tommy Hawkins, their championship reign preserved not through skill or honour, but through calculated brutality and interference. With Tommy Hawkins left broken in the ring, the question remains: will he get another shot at Jim Braddock, or will the champion continue to hide behind his brother’s interference?

Suicide Blondes Make Their Move on Ashley Mathews After Brutal Match Against Ally Owens

The third match of IWRA Storm saw Ally Owens of the Suicide Blondes square off against the defiant Ashley Mathews in a hard-hitting contest that ended in controversy and chaos. With the Suicide Blondes eager to recruit Ashley into their ranks, the stakes were high, but Ashley had made her stance clear—she wasn’t interested in joining the faction, nor was she willing to dye her hair blonde.

A Fierce Battle in the Ring
Accompanied by her tag partner Paige Turner, Ally Owens made her way to the ring, looking to prove that the Suicide Blondes were stronger together. Ashley, determined to stand on her own, had drawn the attention of the faction due to her heated rivalry with Mercedes Cruz, which had caught the eye of Hailey Sutton, the group’s leader.

The match began with an intense lock-up, with Ally using her strength to gain the upper hand. She hurled Ashley into the turnbuckles before taking her down with a sharp elbow. Ashley, however, refused to stay down, delivering a strong kick that sent Ally stumbling back. Seizing the moment, Ashley executed a textbook suplex, momentarily shifting the tide in her favor.

Ally quickly fought back, targeting Ashley’s arms and pummeling her with vicious strikes. She bounced Ashley off the turnbuckles before dragging her into the center of the ring, where she launched into a high-risk moonsault. At the last possible second, Ashley got her knees up, knocking the wind out of Ally and turning the match around once more.

Ashley attempted to capitalize, locking in a reverse crab submission, but Ally showed her resilience, breaking free before the damage could fully set in. Ally then unleashed a flurry of strikes, sending Ashley crashing down before attempting a high-flying splash from the top rope. Ashley barely managed to roll away, causing Ally to crash hard onto the mat.

A Violent End Outside the Ring
Trying to recover, Ally rolled to the outside, but Ashley wasn’t about to let her regroup. With a burst of energy, Ashley speared Ally through the ropes, sending both women tumbling onto the unforgiving concrete floor. Wasting no time, Ashley threw Ally back into the ring and climbed the turnbuckles, delivering a devastating flying elbow. She went for the pin, but Ally managed to kick out just in time.

Ashley, showing signs of fatigue, aimed a brutal kick at Ally but stumbled, giving Ally the opening she needed. Ally retaliated, swinging Ashley into the turnbuckles and trapping her in the ropes. She mercilessly kicked at Ashley’s head until she collapsed onto the mat. Ashley, desperate for a breather, rolled out of the ring, but Ally wasn’t finished. In a stunning aerial assault, Ally leapt from the top rope and collided with Ashley, nearly knocking her unconscious.

Ashley tried to get back to her feet, but the damage was done. She clutched at her leg in pain as John Cole counted her out, awarding the victory to Ally Owens.

The Blondes Strike
As Ashley attempted to limp away, she was blindsided by Hailey Sutton. The leader of the Suicide Blondes grabbed Ashley and threw her back into the ring, where Ally and Paige joined in a ruthless beatdown. Ashley fought back, swinging wildly in defiance, but the numbers game was too much. The Suicide Blondes stood tall over Ashley as she lay panting on the mat, beaten but not broken.

With Hailey Sutton making it clear that she won’t take no for an answer, the question remains—will Ashley continue to resist the Suicide Blondes, or will she be forced to fight them on their own turf?

Alexa Grace Stuns Lady Death in Hard-Hitting Showdown

The second match of IWRA Storm saw two dominant forces collide as Lady Death took on Alexa Grace in a bout that had title implications written all over it. With both women proving themselves as major threats in the division, this contest was bound to be explosive.

A Clash of Power and Agility
Lady Death wasted no time asserting her dominance, immediately hoisting Alexa Grace up and throwing her onto the ropes before delivering a punishing German suplex. Towering over her opponent, Lady Death flung Alexa into the turnbuckles with brute force. However, Alexa showcased her resilience, breaking free with a sharp elbow strike before launching a high-impact offensive of her own.

Grace executed a flawless series of takedowns, briefly overwhelming Lady Death. Looking to capitalize, she whipped Lady Death into the corner and attempted to tie her up in the ropes. A near-fall followed, but Lady Death managed to escape via a rope break, keeping her hopes alive.

Lori Jordan’s Presence Shifts Momentum
As the battle raged on, Lady Death began to turn the tide, securing a pin attempt of her own that was broken up via another crucial rope break. The match spilled to the outside, where Lady Death took Alexa down with a brutal crossbody through the ropes, drawing cheers from the crowd. Just then, Storm Women’s Champion Lori Jordan appeared on the stage, watching the match unfold with an intense glare.

Lady Death, sensing the presence of her future target, momentarily turned her focus toward Jordan. That split-second distraction proved costly, as Alexa Grace seized the opportunity, attacking Lady Death from behind. Grace unleashed a vicious assault, landing several leg drops and powerful kicks that drained the air from Lady Death’s lungs.

With momentum fully on her side, Alexa delivered a series of clotheslines before lifting Lady Death onto her shoulders. In a spectacular display of strength, she drove Lady Death into the mat before covering her for the pinfall victory.

Post-Match Chaos Ensues
As Alexa Grace celebrated her hard-fought win, Lori Jordan once again emerged on the stage, locking eyes with Lady Death. Fueled by frustration, Lady Death charged after the champion, forcing referee John Cole to step in. The two fierce competitors swung at each other, igniting a brawl that had to be broken up by officials.

With Lady Death determined to claim the Storm Women’s Championship and Alexa Grace proving she belongs in the title conversation, the women’s division just got even more intense. The question now is: will Lady Death get her shot at Lori Jordan, or has Alexa Grace earned her own claim for championship gold?

Anarchists Overcome OC to Retain IWRA Tag Team Titles in High-Octane Opener

IWRA Storm kicked off with an explosive showdown as the reigning IWRA Tag Team Champions, the Anarchists, defended their gold against the OC in a match fueled by controversy and chaos.

A Prematch Assault Sets the Stage
The OC, fresh off their controversial victory in a recent fatal four-way tag match, were ambushed before they even made it to the ring. Greg Flynn and Eliott Pierce of Power and Glory blindsided the duo, still enraged that they were denied their rightful opportunity to challenge for the titles. With the refereeing error from their previous match still fresh in their minds, Flynn and Pierce ruthlessly attacked, throwing Nate Adams and Tucker Warren into the ring before walking away, smug in the belief that they had softened up the OC enough to ensure their failure.

A Brutal Start for the OC
The bell rang, and Reaper wasted no time in capitalizing on the OC’s weakened state. The powerhouse of the Anarchists steamrolled Nate Adams, slamming him to the mat before hurling him over the ropes. A dominant display continued as Reaper dragged Tucker Warren into the ring and looked to make an early statement. However, a moment of resilience from Adams turned the tide, as he managed to lift the monstrous Reaper into a thunderous powerbomb, stunning the champions and giving the OC an opening.

OC’s Comeback Falls Short
Tucker Warren tagged in and brought his high-flying arsenal into play, springboarding off the ropes to deliver a vicious elbow to Reaper’s face, immediately going for a pinfall attempt. But the Anarchist enforcer kicked out with authority, and from there, the champions began to dismantle the challengers with their trademark brutality.

Reaper, shaking off the OC’s offensive, swung Warren violently into the turnbuckles before flooring him with a devastating boot to the face. A tag to Aaron Luthor saw the Anarchists continue their assault, as Luthor climbed the top rope and attempted a high-risk maneuver. But Warren dodged at the last second, sending Luthor crashing into the mat. Desperate, Luthor tagged Reaper back in, and the two executed a tandem assault, with Reaper delivering a double axe handle to Warren’s head.

Champions Close the Door on OC’s Dream
The battle raged on, with both teams coming dangerously close to victory at multiple points. But in the end, it was Reaper who sealed the win for the Anarchists. After a brutal exchange, he delivered a crushing boot to Adams before securing the decisive pinfall, ensuring that the champions retained their titles in emphatic fashion.

With the Anarchists standing tall and the OC left to lick their wounds, the fallout from this match will undoubtedly have major implications. Power and Glory’s interference raises questions about their place in the title scene, and with tensions boiling over, one thing is certain: the IWRA tag division is more chaotic than ever.

Mayhem Erupts as Alex Drake vs. Omar Kareem Ends in Chaos

The IWRA Forge Men’s Championship was on the line in the highly anticipated main event as Alex Drake defended his newly won title against Omar Kareem. With both men coming off major victories last week—Alex dethroning Isaiah Jacobs and Omar earning his shot through a hard-fought fatal four-way—the stage was set for a monumental battle. However, the night would descend into absolute bedlam before a decisive winner could be crowned.

---

Isaiah Jacobs Arrives to Make His Presence Felt

Before the bell even rang, the match was already mired in controversy. As the champion and challenger stood in the ring, Isaiah Jacobs’ music hit, sending a murmur through the crowd. The former champion, still seething from his loss, made his way down the ramp, eyes locked onto Alex Drake. Without saying a word, he settled into a chair at ringside near the announce table, making it clear he wasn’t going to let this match go unnoticed.

Isaiah’s presence alone added a new layer of tension to an already explosive encounter.

---

Omar Kareem’s Early Dominance

As the match officially began, Omar wasted no time. Exploding out of his corner, he launched himself at Alex, delivering a brutal dropkick to the champion’s knees that sent him crashing to the mat. Omar continued his aggressive assault, stomping down on Drake before delivering a pinpoint dropkick to the side of his head.

With Alex reeling, Omar locked him in a submission hold, twisting the champion’s legs in a painful stretch. But the resilience of Alex Drake was on full display as he fought free and rolled out of the ring, desperate for a breather.

Omar, unwilling to give his opponent any room to recover, followed him to the outside. However, this proved to be a mistake, as Alex countered, striking Omar and briefly taking control. Omar managed to escape Drake’s grasp and slide back into the ring, but the moment he turned around, Alex was already back in action.

---

Back-and-Forth Action Until the Chaos Begins

Alex attempted a spear, but Omar countered it mid-motion, driving him face-first into the mat with a thunderous DDT. Wasting no time, Omar hooked the leg for the pin, but the champion kicked out just before the three-count.

Looking to turn the tides, Alex dragged Omar toward the ropes and unleashed a series of devastating kicks and stiff strikes. He then executed a picture-perfect neck-breaker, finally gaining the upper hand. With Omar on the mat, Alex attempted a cover, but Omar proved his resilience by kicking out once again.

Seeing his opponent still struggling to recover, Alex climbed the turnbuckles, preparing to put Omar away for good. But just as he prepared to leap—the arena was rocked by the sudden entrance of Will Oxley.

---

Outside Interference and Total Anarchy

As Oxley’s music blared, Alex’s focus shifted. He climbed down from the top rope, eyes locked on the approaching threat. Sliding out of the ring, he moved to confront Oxley, but the moment he got close, Will exploded forward with a devastating spear, driving Alex spine-first into the edge of the ring.

Alex, unwilling to be taken out so easily, fought back, landing a powerful punch that sent Will sprawling to the floor. But as the champion turned around, he came face to face with Isaiah Jacobs.

The tension reached a boiling point as Isaiah stood toe-to-toe with Alex. Before anything could happen, Will Oxley recovered and charged in for another attack—but Alex dodged out of the way, causing Will to crash straight into Isaiah Jacobs, sending them both tumbling to the floor.

Seeing the chaos outside, Omar Kareem tried to refocus on the match, but just as he turned to reengage with Alex, Brandon Colt stormed into the ring.

Like a wrecking ball, Colt tore through both men, flattening Omar before turning his attention to Alex Drake. The champion fought back, but the fresh and unhinged Colt battered him into the ropes, causing the referee, John Cole, to attempt to intervene.

However, John Cole wanted no part of Colt’s fury and quickly bailed. With no one to stop him, Colt continued his rampage, delivering punishing strikes to both competitors before finally exiting, leaving behind a ring of destruction.

---

No Winner, No Closure—Only More Questions

With all hell breaking loose, the match ended by disqualification, leaving the Forge Men’s Championship match unresolved. Alex Drake, Omar Kareem, Isaiah Jacobs, Will Oxley, and now Brandon Colt are all tangled in a volatile web of grudges and championship aspirations.

As the show went off the air, one thing was clear—this war is far from over, and the Forge Men’s Championship has never been in a more chaotic state.

Noah Bishop Triumphs Over Bill Price in a Brutal Showdown, but the War is Far from Over

The long-standing rivalry between the Corporation and the Ministry erupted once again as Noah Bishop went head-to-head with Bill Price on IWRA Forge. With tensions between the two factions reaching a boiling point, this match was about more than just victory—it was about dominance. Noah Bishop, representing the Ministry, stood in the ring, awaiting the arrival of his opponent. But Bill Price had other plans.

---

A Premature Retreat Ends in Disaster

Bill Price made his way down the ramp, only to hesitate as he neared the ring. Shaking his head, he took a step back—perhaps reconsidering the fight ahead. However, what he didn’t realize was that he had backed straight into Jason Key, Noah Bishop’s tag team partner and fellow Ministry member. The crowd erupted as Price spun around, his face betraying a brief flash of panic before Key grabbed him and forcefully tossed him into the ring. The bell rang, and there was no escape now.

---

Noah Bishop’s Early Domination

Noah wasted no time, charging at Price the moment the match was officially underway. He launched himself into the air, taking Price down with a lightning-fast hurricanrana. Keeping the pressure on, Noah stomped on his opponent with relentless boots before following up with a precise dropkick that left Price reeling. Noah attempted an early pin, but Price managed to kick out at two.

Sensing an opportunity, Noah threw Bill over the ropes, sending him crashing onto the unforgiving concrete. The Ministry’s enforcer followed him outside, looking to capitalize on his momentum. However, Price showed signs of resilience, managing to grab Noah by the throat and deliver a thunderous chokeslam onto the arena floor. But the moment of hope for the Corporation’s bruiser was short-lived. Noah quickly recovered and tossed Bill back into the ring, ready to continue his offensive.

---

Bill Price’s Desperate Counterattack

As Bill lay on the mat catching his breath, Noah climbed the turnbuckles and launched himself off, delivering a crushing elbow drop straight to Price’s chest. But when Noah attempted a second aerial attack, Bill rolled out of the way just in time, causing Noah to hit the mat hard. Price took advantage of the missed opportunity, delivering a series of hard kicks before engaging in a lock-up with Noah. For a moment, it seemed like Price might take control, but Noah proved too strong, countering and taking Bill down with another devastating hurricanrana.

Desperate to shift the momentum, Price fought back, blocking Noah’s next strike and swinging him into the corner with brute force. Charging in, Price delivered a massive clothesline that sent Noah crashing to the mat. Looking to capitalize, Bill attempted to whip Noah into the ropes, but Noah reversed it. He went for a clothesline, but Bill bulldozed through the attack, flattening Noah with sheer power. Price then lifted Bishop high into the air, slamming him onto his knee before covering him for a pin attempt. The referee’s hand struck the mat once… twice… but Noah kicked out just before the three-count, gasping for air.

---

The Crucifixion Ends It All

Determined to put his opponent away, Price threw Noah across the ring before climbing the turnbuckles for a high-risk maneuver. He leaped off, delivering a powerful elbow drop to Noah’s head, rattling the Ministry’s powerhouse. But just as the match seemed to be tilting in Bill’s favor, Noah found a second wind.

With incredible strength, Noah hoisted Bill into the air, setting him up for his devastating signature move—the Crucifixion. With the crowd on their feet, Noah slammed Price to the mat with incredible force, the impact so intense that Price’s head struck the turnbuckles on the way down. The referee slid in for the count—one… two… three! Noah Bishop secured the hard-fought victory.

---

Big Money’s Ambush

Noah barely had a moment to celebrate before disaster struck. As he stood tall over Bill Price, raising his arms in triumph, a sudden crack echoed throughout the arena. Big Money, another key member of the Corporation, stormed into the ring with a kendo stick in hand. He swung it down onto Noah’s back, sending the Ministry’s enforcer crashing to his knees in agony. Blow after blow rained down as the crowd booed the cheap assault.

Big Money smirked as he rolled out of the ring, leaving a battered Noah Bishop clutching his back in pain. This war between the Ministry and the Corporation is far from over, and after tonight’s events, things are only going to escalate from here.

Jenna Ortiz Shuts Down Doubts with a Victory Over Becca Snow on IWRA Forge

Two weeks ago, the Dream Team successfully defended their IWRA Women’s Tag Team Championships against Hit Row, but the aftermath of that match left more questions than answers. The champions openly wondered if Jenna Ortiz had truly been fighting at her best, as she seemed hesitant during the match, tagging out frequently and staying on the sidelines. Their concern was met with Jenna’s anger, as she refused to let her passion for competition be questioned.

Now, on the latest episode of IWRA Forge, Ortiz had a chance to prove herself as she faced Becca Snow in a one-on-one contest. What followed was an intense, hard-hitting match that left no doubt about Jenna’s fighting spirit.

Becca Turns the Tide

Jenna looked to continue her dominance by climbing to the top rope. As Becca rose to her feet, Ortiz launched into a missile dropkick, landing squarely on target.

Just as the momentum seemed to shift, Jenna quickly responded, driving her knee into Becca’s midsection and whipping her into the ropes. Jenna attempted a spear, but Becca dodged, seizing the opportunity to take her down with a hurricanrana.

A Battle of Resilience

Becca attempted a pin of her own, but Jenna proved just as resilient, forcing the match to continue.

The fight soon spilled outside the ring, with both women exchanging blows in an all-out brawl. Jenna, determined to make a statement, regained control and dragged Becca back into the ring.

But Ortiz wasn’t finished—she capitalized on Becca’s exhaustion, delivering blow after blow before tossing her back into the ring and sealing the match with a decisive pinfall.

---

Chaos Unfolds

As Jenna celebrated her victory, the unexpected happened—the music of the GateCrashers blared through the arena as Anne-Marie Kelly and Amy Johnson made their way to the ring. But before they could reach the squared circle, they were blindsided by the Syndicate. Sarah Bowers and Emily Bowlin stood tall over their fallen rivals, sending a clear message to the entire women’s tag team division.

Jenna and Becca, exhausted from their battle, left the ring, letting the two teams tear into each other as IWRA Forge descended into chaos.

The Syndicate vs. The GateCrashers

Emily Bowlin climbed into the ring while Amy Johnson staggered to her feet. Emily took a swing at Anne-Marie Kelly, who was standing on the ring apron, but Anne-Marie retaliated with a stiff punch of her own. Emily turned her focus to Amy, shoving her into the Syndicate’s corner and attempting to tie her arm up in the ropes. However, Amy fought back, landing a series of punches to free herself before countering with a devastating facebuster that sent Emily stumbling backward.

Amy tagged in Anne-Marie, but her momentum was quickly halted as Emily hit a well-timed dropkick. Sensing an opportunity, she tagged in her partner, Sarah Bowers, who immediately took control. Sarah outwrestled Anne-Marie, taking her down with a swinging neckbreaker before unloading a relentless series of moves. Just as it seemed like the Syndicate had the match in hand, Anne-Marie reversed a swing and speared Sarah into the turnbuckles.

Anne-Marie tagged in Amy Johnson, who dominated for several minutes, taking down Sarah with powerful slams and high-impact strikes. She attempted a pin, but Emily rushed in to break it up. Still in control, Amy taunted the crowd, playing up the GateCrashers’ confidence. However, the distraction cost her dearly—Sarah countered with a hurricanrana, flipping the momentum in favor of the Syndicate.

Sarah tagged Emily back in, but Amy quickly regained control, flooring Emily with a hard takedown before tagging Anne-Marie back into the match. Anne-Marie seized the advantage, slamming Emily into the GateCrashers’ corner before climbing to the top rope and delivering a crushing superplex that sent shockwaves through the ring.

Emily, struggling to recover, crawled to her corner and made a desperate tag to Sarah Bowers. But Anne-Marie was ready—she charged at Sarah, taking her down before turning her attention back to Emily. Sensing the danger, Emily rolled out of the ring, leaving Sarah to fend for herself.

Anne-Marie tried to seal the victory, whipping Sarah into the GateCrashers’ corner, but Sarah kicked out of a pin attempt just in time. The tide quickly shifted when Sarah and Anne-Marie locked up again, with Sarah managing to take control. She dragged Anne-Marie to the ropes and tagged in Emily, who unleashed a brutal back drop followed by a leg drop.

With Anne-Marie weakened, Emily went for the cover, and before Amy Johnson could break it up, Sarah Bowers ran interference, securing the win for the Syndicate.

The victory cemented the Syndicate’s growing dominance in the division, proving that they were a serious threat to any team standing in their way. But with tensions escalating between them and the GateCrashers, the battle for control of the women’s tag team scene is far from over.

Ray Ricardo Wins Chaotic Fatal Four-Way to Earn Title Shot on IWRA Forge

IWRA Forge kicked off with an explosive fatal four-way match that would determine the next contender for the Forge Men’s Championship. With Black Jack, Marco Tonga, Piotr Kazarian, and Ray Ricardo all vying for the opportunity, the stakes were at an all-time high. Later in the night, the newly crowned champion, Alex Drake, was set to defend his title against last week’s four-way winner, Omar Kareem, making this opening bout a crucial moment in the Forge Men’s division.

---

An Intense Opening

One by one, the competitors made their way to the ring, each sizing up their opponents before the bell rang. The instant the match began, the action erupted, with Piotr Kazarian locking up with Black Jack while Ray Ricardo went after Marco Tonga. Ricardo managed to bring the powerhouse Tonga to the mat early, but Black Jack had no intention of letting the much larger Kazarian control the fight, battering him with relentless strikes.

As Marco and Piotr struggled to regain their footing, Black Jack and Ricardo clashed in the centre of the ring. Ray managed to overpower Black Jack, throwing him over the ropes and delivering a brutal guillotine onto the concrete floor. Wasting no time, Ricardo attempted a pinfall on Piotr, only for the towering fighter to kick out with force.

---

Weapons Enter the Fray

Black Jack, unfazed by his brief time on the outside, rolled back into the ring and blindsided Ricardo. Meanwhile, Marco Tonga sent Kazarian into the ropes before planting him with a devastating slam. As the battle raged on, Black Jack decided to introduce some hardware, grabbing a kendo stick from under the ring while Piotr Kazarian retrieved a steel chair. The two stared each other down before Black Jack swung first, but Kazarian barely flinched. The only advantage Black Jack gained was knocking the chair from Piotr’s hands, but that didn’t stop the Russian giant from standing tall.

---

Alliances Form and Crumble

As the chaos continued, Piotr Kazarian caught Ray Ricardo from behind and dragged him toward the corner where Black Jack stood. In an unexpected moment of cooperation, Piotr and Black Jack executed a flawless double Russian leg sweep on Ricardo. However, their alliance was short-lived—Piotr wasted no time driving a vicious knee into Black Jack’s ribs before Marco Tonga pounced, hammering Black Jack with relentless strikes before taking him down with a thunderous chokeslam. Tonga went for a cover, but Kazarian broke up the pin attempt, determined to keep his own championship hopes alive.

Meanwhile, Ray Ricardo retrieved a chair from under the ring but never got the chance to use it, as Kazarian’s fist knocked it clean from his hands before colliding with his jaw. Black Jack seized the opportunity, picking up the chair and smashing it over Ray Ricardo’s skull, sending him crumbling to the mat. He attempted a pin, but Ricardo somehow kicked out just before Marco Tonga retaliated, slamming the chair down onto Black Jack’s head. Marco swung wildly, striking Kazarian as well and momentarily taking control of the ring.

---

A Wild Finish

Razor Dethrones Matsumoto in a Brutal Hardcore War on IWRA Storm

The IWRA Hardcore Championship is never defended without blood, sweat, and carnage, and Monday night’s showdown between Matsumoto and Razor was no exception. With the mysterious reformation of Doom under Lady Death, Razor had re-emerged as a dominant force, seeking vengeance and championship gold. After ambushing Matsumoto in the weeks leading up to this match, Razor entered the ring with a clear objective: reclaim the Hardcore Title. With his stablemate Scorpion by his side, Razor made his intentions known in one of the most violent battles of the night.

Razor’s Early Dominance

From the opening bell, Razor took control, unloading heavy-hitting combos and thunderous slams to keep Matsumoto on the back foot. Wasting little time, he dragged the fight outside the ring, where the true brutality of the Hardcore Division came into play. The crowd erupted as each man armed themselves—Razor wielding a sledgehammer, Matsumoto gripping a barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat.

Weapons of Destruction

The clash of steel and flesh was brutal, but it was Razor who gained the upper hand, delivering a vicious low blow with the hammer before slamming Matsumoto onto his own barbed-wire weapon. Matsumoto writhed in pain as Razor capitalized, pressing his advantage with unrelenting aggression.

Meanwhile, Scorpion sought to tip the scales further in Doom’s favor, removing a turnbuckle pad to expose the steel beneath. However, the move backfired as Matsumoto reversed Razor’s Irish whip, sending the challenger crashing face-first into the exposed turnbuckle. The shift in momentum was immediate—Matsumoto grabbed a chair thrown by Scorpion and turned it into a weapon of his own, battering Razor into the mat before going for a pin. But Razor, ever resilient, refused to stay down.

Razor’s Relentless Comeback

Wounded but undeterred, Razor fought his way back into the match. A burst of energy saw him level Matsumoto with a series of brutal clotheslines before planting him into the mat with a massive power slam. The Hardcore Champion kicked out, but the damage had been done—Razor smelled blood. With the crowd watching in stunned anticipation, Razor delivered a devastating DDT and then grabbed a steel chair, slamming it across Matsumoto’s already battered body. The chair bent under the impact, leaving Matsumoto gasping on the mat.

A New Challenger Emerges

The post-match scene turned chaotic as Scorpion entered the ring, handing Razor a chair. The crowd booed, anticipating further destruction at the hands of Doom. But before Razor and Scorpion could continue their assault on the fallen Matsumoto, a familiar figure stormed the ring—Luke Austin.

Austin, who had suffered at the hands of Doom when Scorpion sprayed acid in his eyes, costing him the IWRA Forge Men’s Title, was out for revenge. The arena exploded as he charged toward his long-time enemies, setting the stage for the next chapter in the war between Austin and Doom.

Razor may have claimed the Hardcore Championship, but with Luke Austin now in the mix, his reign could be more dangerous than ever.
