Our show opens backstage with Lynx and Gordon Carlson going over their strategy for tonight's match against Bloodline. A few moments pass, before they are approached by 'Timeless' Alex Turner. Turner once again does his best to make amends with Carlson for how things got started for the two of them. Carlson wasn't sure whether Turner was being sincere, but he took the high road and told him that he thought they could move passed it.
Carlson turned back to Lynx, but Turner stayed within ear shot. Lynx then asked Timeless if there was anything else that they could do for him. Turner suggested that they allow him to be their third man in the match later on that evening. Timeless said that the only way for him to truly prove to them that he was trustworthy would be to go out to the ring and show them.
It was her that Carlson made reverence to the mechanical hand, and how Timless had used it the week prior to cheat his way to victory. Lynx reiterated that this wasn't how he wrestled his matches, and that he didn't forsee the three of them having proper chemistry. But, Timeless wouldn't relent. Turner said that he would wrestle on the proper side of the rules if they were to accept his offer to be their teammate. Lynx didn't seem to 'buy' it, and Carlson was clearly apprehensive.
Timeless then reminded Carlson that the two of them were both looking to get their hands on Eric Dane and he said that any 'enemy' of his enemy was his friend. It was here that Carlson and Lynx took a moment to reach a decision. After an extended moment of silence, Lynx agreed to name Timeless as his second partner in the match against Bloodline.
The camera panned back, and the scene cut away.

Singles Match

"The Iron Bear" Joe Ghaven vs. Bubby Love
The narrative heading into this contest was that both men would be looking for some form of redemption after having their efforts thwarted by others on the last show. Bubby Love was clocked with the Mechanical Hand of 'Timeless' behind the referee's back, while Joe Ghaven looked dominant in the main event, only to have Zeze Taborda push their mutual opponent into his head, causing both Joe and Henri to collide at full force, which gave Taborda the opportunity to roll Henri up for the victory.
Ranking is such an important aspect to your trajectory in NPW, as well as for future championship opportunities. Thus far, The Iron Bear has looked the part and proven himself to be a true contender within the promotion. His match with Bubby was fairly one sided, as Ghaven dictated where the match went by using his size and strength to his advantage.
Ethan Mills was shouting instructions and in the moment, it appeared as though it was opening up a more vicious version of 'The Iron Bear', as he clubbed away with heavy strikes. A running power slam that shook the ring followed - before Joe hoisted Bubby up and drove him down to the canvas with a Michinoku Driver II. The referee was i position and held for the cover, which at that point was academic.
Winner: "The Iron Bear" Joe Ghaven (5:23) via Michinoku Driver II
After the bout, Ethan Mills entered the ring to celebrate with his charge. Joe looked down at Bubby who hadn't moved since the conclusion of the match. He backed away, before he and his manager exited the ring and headed backstage.

[The Real Lord Dominicus.]
'LD' take a moment to welcome the viewer to his own version of Chaos.
LD's delivery comes off like a sermon as he made excuses for what was about to happen to anyone who decided to cross him in NPW. He said that there hasn't ever been a force as dark or as evil in Northern Pro Wrestling, and he assured the viewer that nobody was going to know what to do about it.
Before he could continue, Irwin Collins happened to walk through the door, thinking that this was an entry to a locker room. He was sadly mistaken. 'LD' asked Irwin if he was there to become one of his minions, to which Irwin declined, not understanding the question.
In a flash, Lord Dominicus snatched Collins by his throat, before dropping him head first on the concrete with a DDT. 'LD' stood over Collins, as the camera panned back to reveal that the top of his skulls had split and blood was starting to puddle around his eyes.
'LD' said that he had no business being interrupted, and that peasants like this needed to be taught a lesson.
Before the scene ended, Lord Dominicus took a moment to admire his work one last time before blowing out the candle.

[Gus Arnold's Office.]
We watch as Gus is speaking to both Liam Beesley and Willard Manchester. Gus is there to play peacemaker, and to suggest that the two of them explore outside opportunities as a means for them to rekindle their friendship before it goes completely awry for good.
Liam Beesley seems 100% committed to it, and says that he agreed with Gus' outlook. Liam said that Manchester had become obsessed with reclaiming the North American Cruiserweight Championship, and as such was taking undue risk to his health and well-being.
Manchester resisted at first, but knew that he couldn't let his ego dictate his responses. After a moment of clarity, Manchester agreed to consider other options than just his current singles run.
Liam said that the two of them hadn't truly put all of their efforts into making their tag team a success, as most of the time and energy was spent trying to retain Manchester's pride and joy. Liam offered that the sum of their experiences and physical skills would make them a very dangerous duo to combat.
Gus intervened and said that he had put out some feelers to other promotions within the XHF, and said that SWAT had a spot for the two of them if they wanted it.
No words followed, but Beesley put his first forward and looked Manchester in the eye. After a moment, Manchester returned it.
Gus said that this didn't mean goodbye forever, but it did mean that they would need to put all of their focus on their tag team in SWAT - so Gus thanked Liam for his efforts over the past 8 months at spearheading his 'Warehouse' and the positive advice he imparted in Gordon Carlson's training, Kenneth Marshall's rehab and the growth he helped produce for all of his students.

The Roughnecks vs. Marcus Smith & Danuwaanalihi
--
All The Roughnecks had to do was mind their own business, but it's in their nature to kick uo dust and throw caution to the wind. The brother duo from the sticks of New Brunswick bring a brawling style to the ring, and enjoy inflicting punishment to their opponents. On the other side of the ring, their opponents were much more refined in their technical skill, so this stylistic matchup was definitely polar opposite.
Marcus Smith got the match started, and faired decently against the brother duo. A snap suplex into a near fall was an early highlight. Before Smith could get too far, he was the victim of constant double teaming, as the tag team edge in experience fell to his opponents. 'Danu' was on the apron encouraging his partner, and when he eventually got the hot tag, he really let his offence go. Danu was like a bolt of lightning, as he maneuvered all over the ring with cat-like quickness.
Myles and Martin couldn't slow him down, and their little bullying session from the week prior was definitely still top of mind for Danu - as he used the situation to motivate him with great intensity.
Smith was able to clear the cobwebs and enter the ring to cut off a potential 2 on 1 attack. When Marcus and Danu combined for a slick High/Low attack on Martin, they nodded respectfully to one and other, as their timing and chemistry in that moment was on point.
The finish to the match came when Danu slapped on his 'Pain and Suffering' submission hold to Martin. Myles did his best to jump into the ring to break up the hold, but he was turned inside out by a running clothesline from Marcus to ensure that the referee wouldn't be distracted, or that Myles couldn't break the hold before his brother succumbed to it. It took all of three seconds for Martin to slap the mat to declare that he had 'quit.'
Winners: Danuwaanalihi & Marcus Smith via 'Pain and Suffering' (11:35)
The victorious duo took a moment to congratulate the other on a solid performance after their first match as a team. Myles Alexander dusted himself off and was about to take a run at 'Danu' but the referee cut him off and told him that he would need to wait to fight another day. Danu told Myles that they could wrestle 'anytime' he wanted.
Marcus took a moment to raise Danu's hand after a spectacular debut performance.

[Jay Stevens.]
We watch as Gus and Jay finalize his contract with Northern Pro Wrestling. Once it's official, Jay immediately asks for a 'big name' for his debut match. Gus said he could do him one better. Gus said that the next NPW event would be a Cruiserweight Showcase. Gus said that this would be major opportunity to all of the participants involved, and that an official lineup for the event would be announced at the conclusion of tonight's event.
Jay said he wanted to prove himself, and he would wrestle anyone. Gus said that he liked Jay's energy and desire to prove himself. Gus said that Malek Fredericks would be his opponent. Gus reminded Jay that Malek has world-wide experience and has a near flawless singles record in NPW. Gus suggested that Jay work on his submission defence between now and the event, because he was certain that Malek would believe he had an edge on the mat.
Jay smiled, and said that he would welcome the challenge on the mat and believed the extra training that he has received over the past year would bode well for him in that match stylistically. At this point, Jay and Gus shook hands, before Jay exited the office. Jay was excited and had a kick in his step, so much so that he didn't see Bloodline walking towards the curtain for their match.
[Bloodline.]
[Esteban Fuentes.]
[Manuel Mayorga.]
[Santiago Ortega.]
[The Imperial Crown Tag Team Champions.]
Jay brushed shoulders with Mayorga as he passed. When they two men made eye contact, Jay attempted to be respectful, while Mayorga shot back with a look that could kill. Mayorga took a swing at Stevens, who was able to dodge and get out of range. Jay then looked to square up with Mayorga, at which point Gus walked out of his office and told Mayorga he ought to reconsider as he had a big match that was set to start.
Fuentes shouted in spanish for Mayorga to 'stand down' and he did so begrudgingly. Mayorga didn't take his eyes off of Stevens and called him a 'puto'.. Stevens then looked ready to re-engage in combat, but by then security had overheard the commotion and stepped in to break things up.
Mayorga put his thumb to his throat before making a gesture that would indicate he was coming for blood.

Bloodline vs. 'Timeless' Alex Turner, Lynx & Gordon Carlson
--
When Esteban Fuentes laid out the challenge to Lynx on the last episode, I wonder if he thought he would see 'Timeless' on the other side of the ring. To his credit. Turner promised to wrestle fairly and in the early going was a man of his word. When he was in the ring, he was on his best behaviour. When he was on the apron, he was encouraging his teammates to give their best efforts.
The Bloodline trio have an impeccable undefeated record in tag team matches since their inception over a year ago. So without a doubt, the odds were in their favour against a trio that had no experience working together in the past. This was Gordon Carlson's first match back after returning from concussion protocol after taking a curb stomp from current X*Crown Champion Rob Arnold at Night of Champions. We could sense that he was itching to get back into the ring and throw some bodies around.
His overzealous nature cost him, and he ended up on the receiving end of a major beating at the hands of Bloodline. The Spanish trio essentially took turns tagging in and out and using the five count their advantage while execute double team moves which really softened the Canadian Grappler up.
Lynx jumped into the ring when he felt as though Mayorga and Fuentes were taking liberties with the 5 count, and also when Ortega would distract the referee so is teammates could low blow Carlson in their corner. The referee did start to pay closer attention to the Bloodline attack, and warned them on a few occasions that they were pushing the boundaries of a disqualification.
Carlson was able to mount a comeback somehow and levelled Ortega with a short clothesline that caught him off guard. Carlson started to inch towards the corner and was about to make the tag, when 'Timeless' put his hand in front of Lynx's and made the TAG!
Timeless entered the ring, and did his part. He was on fire, and had all three members of Bloodline bouncing around the ring and feeding into his strikes. Lynx hopped into the ring to at least make it 3 on 2, as Carlson recovered. The Imperial Crown Champions were on the heals for the first time in awhile, and they didn't like it. Lynx executed a springboard plancha out of the ring onto Ortega!
Carlson was now back up to his feet, while Fuentes and Mayorga started to work him over a bit. Mayorga whipped Timeless near his corner, and he made a blind tag to Carlson and they were able to drop Mayorga with a spine buster, followed by Fuentes with a running clothesline. The referee was doing his best to maintain control, and tried to get Mayorga out of the ring, and had his back to the action.
This is when Timeless took off his leather glove to reveal his Mechanical hand! He had Fuentes in his sight as the Bloodline leader was getting back to his feet, Turner charged forward with his hand and swung!
Fuentes DUCKED!
[BAAAAMMMM!]
Timeless anciently cracked Carlson right in the jaw with the Mechanical Hand. Timeless stood frozen in the moment, unsure what to do. Mayorga broke free from the ref, and speared Timeless out of the way. Fuentes fell down and hooked Carlson's leg.. 1......2.......3!!!
Winners: Bloodline (16:32) via Mechanical Hand on Gordon Carlson
Lynx was startled by the bell ringing, as he was waging war with Ortega on the outside. Once he saw his tag team partner out cold on the mat, he rolled into the ring to ask the referee what had happened. The referee said Fuentes made the cover.
Mayorga grabbed an exhausted Fuentes and rolled him out of the ring, so that they could leave the ring area together victorious.
Timeless was just getting to his feet, which is when he went to check on Carlson, who still hadn't moved. Lynx asked Timeless what had happened, to which Roxy stepped in between the two men and started to defend her man - saying it was an 'accident.' Lynx said 'what accident?' Timeless backed away, but said he was insulted that Lynx was accusing him of intentionally hitting Carlson.
Lynx reminded Timeless that he had agreed to wrestle the match in a fair manner, to which Timeless just shrugged and told Lynx to mind his own business.
Roxy then whispered to Timeless that it was time for the two of them to head backstage. Lynx crouched down to check on his teammate, who was still motionless. Lynx then told the referee that he needed to know what happened, and for someone to show him a replay.
On cue, the sequence of events hit the big screen above the entrance, and Lynx was now aware that it was a Mechanical Hand punch from Timeless which was intended for Fuentes, but ended up blindsiding Carlson as he didn't see it coming.
Lynx stood facing the aisle as Timeless retreated with Roxy, and Lynx seemed to be admonishing Turner for his actions as the show went off the air.
