NEWS ROSTER EPISODES TRAIN WITH US SOCIAL MEDIA

FRIDAY NIGHT MAYHEM!

Wyatt Marshall VS Dylan Richardson WINNER: Wyatt Marshall

Surprising everyone with a remarkable return the week prior, Wyatt Marshall would open that evening's show with Dylan Richardson. There was a bit of a talk about Wyatt in the full week prior about what he could have done better to win his match to gain a title shot, which seemingly had caught the ire of the cowboy who didn't mince words when he was approached for a comment on social media. He boldly stated that he had taken Harvey to the woodshed and he'd gladly do it again, but for that solitary and fleeting moment, Harvey was that much smarter but if he had gained an opportunity to fight him again, he wasn't going to mess up again and that Harvey needed to watch his back. These words also translated to the mat when he took on Dylan this week, completely decimating the young man early on and did not let up. There was barely any room to breathe for the less experienced of the two as he would wind up losing to Wyatt, who came out victorious after a hell of a buckshot lariat that nearly knocked Dylan's head clean off.

Karleigh Pierce segment.

Emily Smith was joined by the exuberant Karleigh Pierce who seemed incredibly upbeat and was asked by Emily how it felt to be picking up two straight wins recently. Karleigh would go on to talk about how it felt great, a little shocking given her string of luck over the years with people, but it had really done something for her and proved to her that she was every bit as good as the other women in that locker room and she damn well knew it. That being said, she felt confident enough to issue a challenge to Raya Williams in hopes to get an eliminator match so that she could face her in the future for a full blown title match. Raya would come into the picture not long after, big and cheerful smile to add to things, and said that not only she accepted, but she was excited to see where this went and for Karleigh's potential moving ahead.

Koda Greenwood & Oliver Halloran VS Ripley Gold & Aiden Zhouli WINNER: Koda Greenwood & Oliver Halloran

The tag team division had seen quite a bit of action as of late and this did not stop this week as previous tournament teams of Koda Greenwood and Oliver Halloran took on Ripley Gold and Aiden Zhouli after the social media team caught up with Koda and Oliver and they said they were tired of being overlooked just because they hadn't been all over the globe fighting in different countries. This took the match to Friday Night Mayhem where both teams put on a spectacle for the fans that had everyone guessing who would be winning the bought. There was nothing but pride on this line this time, and maybe if the showing was good enough, a future tag title shot. This was motivation for both teams, but ultimately the less experienced team would make a surprising win for themselves and showed great promise for the future.

Bastian Ravenshaw and Ryder Evans segment.

Emily Smith returned for another short interview, this time with friends and current tag team partners Bastian Ravenshaw and Ryder Evans. Both men seemed fueled up, angry and desperate to find a means to an end when it came to the likes of Ashley Sharpe and Jason D'Masi. They called the duo out, challenging them to a tag team match any time, anywhere, but the sooner, the better. They weren't left hanging on that challenge, however, when Ashley and Jason showed face, Ashley completely butting in on everything and stated that the only reason why any of this was happening was because Bastian had delusional fantasies about being far greater than he was when that simply wasn't true. He claimed that Bastian couldn't handle the fact that he couldn't cut it in the United Kingdom, couldn't cut it in Japan, and now he couldn't cut it here. He couldn't even make it past one match in the World Title Tournament let alone hold a candle to anything that he's done. Bastian would then point out that if he was so good, why didn't he have that World Title now? Ashley covered his tracks up by stating that didn't matter because he still got further than Bastian ever would and then added that since he would never be better than him in any country or time in life, maybe he should focus more on the fact of noticing that his so-called friend there is riding his coat tails trying to be him, another loser who may just out-shine him yet.

Shilo Wagner VS Lilly Azuroth WINNER: Lilly Azuroth

After bamboozling the referee the week prior and gaining a win over Samantha Garlande, Shilo Wagner returned the following week to face Lilly Azuroth in quite a good match that could have easily seen a quick win on either side if someone was caught slipping somewhere. Lilly's outstanding showing this year had only gained traction in this match as her improved skill set only seemed to improve even further, even if Shilo would swat the other down several times, using her own strength to counter things and gain momentum for herself. Things, however, did not go the way of the superficial star, because she would try to do the same thing to Lilly that was done to Samantha and this time was outed by Samantha herself who made sure the referee knew what she was about to do before she even got to do it. This gained a distraction advantage for Lilly who would hit a Canadian destroyer and pinned Shilo for a three count, giving Samantha the last laugh despite her loss the week prior.

Luca Tate VS Tyler Langdon WINNER: Luca Tate

Not seen for quite some time, Luca Tate returned to the Abbott Pro Wrestling's weekly shows to take on Tyler Langdon in what ended up being a very back and forth fight between two seasoned wrestlers with something to prove. It seemed, though, Luca may have had more to prove than Tyler did because he went out of his way to make everything that man took hurt and hurt badly. Luca would pick up the win after he performed a devastating double foot stomp from the top turnbuckle, landing square on Tyler's chest and then he'd pick up a pinfall, soaking in the triumph after the fact.

Iggy Gabris & Hank Marshall VS Ezra Fitzherb & Lindsey Taylor WINNER: Ezra Fitzherb & Lindsey Taylor via DQ

Warring groups of friends or acquaintances, whichever the case may have been had come to formidable tag team Iggy Gabris and Hank Marshall taking on Ezra Fitzherb and Lindsey Taylor. It had been explained that Ezra's tag team partner Percy Lupton was currently sidelined with a mild shoulder injury but was expected to be cleared again soon. As far as Ezra was concerned, he was going to Freebird rule those tag titles however they could; not that they were up for grabs that evening anyway, but he'd still represent. The match itself was as chaotic as one would expect coming from the likes of both teams, the hatred between them heating up in a big way. Several times both Iggy and Hank would find themselves caught like a fly in a trap whenever Ezra or Lindsey got a hold of them and put them in very awkward and painful looking submission holds. If not for the other teammate, it could have easily been over for them. It also wasn't to say that Ezra and Lindsey didn't nearly lose at points as well because both Hank and Iggy were seamless in their work as a duo, using power and impact to try and starve off their opponents. Things didn't end the way either team would have liked, however, because the match would be upended by the Mitchell Brothers who attacked Ezra and Lindsey and put the two of them through a relentless onslaught, attempting to make a statement about the tag team titles they so desperately wanted to have. The last images you'd see of that night were the Mitchell Brothers holding those belts high despite not credibly winning them.
