*the scene and INVISIBLE NINJA CAMERA find BRIDGET O’MALLEY inside the ring, moments after ‘Super Saturday Slam’ went off the air. BRIDGET is flanked by CARRIE and HARPER while dodging cups and any food that is throwable while she picks a microphone off of the canvas*

BRIDGET: “I … I did this all on my own! I am now a champion that OOWF can be proud of. Though I do have to thank my fellow Pittsburgher, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., for giving just a little bit of backup since I knew that some people couldn’t handle the idea that I’d shine brightest tonight, but I am YOUR OOWF World Heavyweight Champion. Not Lexie Darling, who fought bravely, but just couldn’t handle all that I am capable of. Not Mac Flasher. Not his airhead surfer girlfriend, Sandra Fallon, who lost her cool earlier tonight and viciously attacked my besties Carrie and Harper, when it was clear that Mac was beaten. Definitely not Kylie Mignolio, who risked her career until her niece – the actual moral compass of The ZeBevKy Compound – saved those paychecks. It’s me …”

*BRIDGET pauses as a fan tries to charge the ring, only to be immediately dispatched by security*

BO’M: “But that brings me to my next statement. As champion, I am only going to defend against the best of the best, not trash like you're seeing tossed into MY ring. As long as this crown is mine, I will defend only as I see fit. I will call these shots as the woman who will elevate this championship to heights it will only see under my control. And my first challenger, as I’ve personally selected, was formerly the best woman to do it in OOWF. Until I came along. What do you say, Firewoman? You. Me. April 6. We’ll even do it in the city of your choosing. I eagerly wait your reply to this very important business matter. Until then, you’ll see me on Saturday Slam elevating the careers of others who just aren’t at my level.”

*BRIDGET drapes the title over her shoulder, drops the mic and exits with CARRIE and HARPER close behind as the scene fades*

[Zed]

The feed cuts to the Medical Center, where Zed has been stitched up and is resting (comfortably?) in a bed. Sean Franklin walks in.

Z: *murmuring* Hey there.

Sean is startled by Zed speaking and jumps before regaining his composure. 

Z: How did I scare you? You walked into my room.

SF: I guess I figured they'd have you on the go-to-sleep drugs right now.

Z: So you were going to watch me sleep?

SF: ... When you put it like that ...

Z: Look, kid, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I still have all my toes and everything.

SF: I should have been there.

Z: You were there. You did what we needed to do to win. I just wasn't fast enough.

SF: I should have pinned him.

Z: They would have interfered. You made the right call. 

SF: I left you to the wolves. 

Z: Pretty sure it was llamas.

SF: What?

Z: Actually, I think that's the medicine. I'm seeing llamas.

Zed closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, while Sean looks on in confusion.

Z: That was a joke.

SF: What is wrong with you?

Z: Let's talk about this later, when my head hurts less.

Sean chuckles.

SF: Fine. I'll let you get some rest.

Z: Do you smell that?

SF: ... no?

Z: You know what it smells like?

SF: ... no??

Beverly Cambridge walks into the room, still in her ring gear and looking worse for wear after an exhausting evening of trying to manage all of the Compound drama of the show.

Z: I knew it! It's the most beautiful woman in the world!

SF: I should leave now.

Z: NEVER TALKED TO A GIRL BEFORE, SEAN?!

BC: What do they have you on?

Z: I don't know but it feels amazing and you look amazing.

SF: Bye, Zed.

Z: Bye, buddy! 

Sean leaves the room and Beverly pulls up a chair beside Zed.

Z: I guess I didn't make your night better.

BC: Oh, wait until you see what happened after they wheeled you back here.

Z: That bad?

BC: Well, on the bright side, you'll be proud of Josie.

Z: Why does this feel like one of those moments where I'm getting blamed for something?

BC: She stopped Kylie from using a weapon.

Z: THAT'S MY GI - wait.

BC: Mhm.

Z: Does that mean she was in the ring?

BC: Mhm.

Z: Hm.

BC: We can talk about it tomorrow.

Z: Great.

Beverly leans down and gives Zed a kiss on the forehead.

BC: Get some rest.

Z: I don't think I'll have a problem with that.

FADE

*the scene and INVISIBLE NINJA CAMERA find MAC FLASHER about to get into his car when a FIGURE in a black hooded sweatshirt grabs him by the shoulder and is ready to drop him with one punch until SANDRA FALLON, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pops out to diffuse the situation. The FIGURE doffs the hood to reveal himself as ALEXANDER DARLING*

ALEXANDER: “Back in the car, Fallon. This is only between myself and the mastermind in the plot to screw Lexie over tonight.”

MAC: “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I was brawling with The One-Notes to stop anything that they were hatching.”

AD: “Of course you wouldn’t know, because Mac Flasher only thinks of the good he can do for himself, but it all just adds up a bit too conveniently. The Pittsburgh guy gets the Pittsburgh girl from another company to help his ex, also from …”

MF: “Hold up. Gonna stop you right there. Bridget is from Johnstown, just like I am. Britt Baker is from Punxsutawney. Both are pretty far away from Pittsburgh. You can’t even call them suburbs.”

AD: “At this point, you’re all about to hail from a fucking coffin. All you had to do was stay the hell out of Darling business as Lexie held the title as long as I chose to let her hold it. Then it was going to be mine again.”

MF: “I’m no happier about this than you are. Bridget is never going to give anyone a fair shake at the championship and this is only going to convince her that she was right this whole time.”

AD: “It’s not about what’s fair, it’s about what belongs to The Darling Family, and the last time I checked, some MMA wannabe from Pennsylvania is NOT on our prestigious family tree. The closest that she’ll get to wrestling royalty is to wrestle wrestling royalty.”

MF: “And she just beat …”

AD: “She just beat wrestling royalty with the help of gross outside interference. Her victory is as tainted as the slop that Pittsburghers worship from that Primanti Bros. place.”

MF: “Look. We can argue about the title, geography and Pittsburgh’s attempts at cuisine all we want, but until one of us does something, Bridget and her backup singers will never let us hear the end of this.”

*as ALEXANDER pauses before his next retort, CARRIE and HARPER, THE ONE-NOTES, barrel out of nowhere to assault ALEXANDER while also pulling MAC from his car. The four brawl outside in the parking lot until SANDRA gets out of MAC's car, climbs onto the roof and takes out both CARRIE and HARPER with a somersault plancha. CARRIE and HARPER scurry away, but the INC follows them*

CARRIE: “Backup singers? BACKUP SINGERS?! We are the best vocalists that OOWF will ever know!”

HARPER: “And in two weeks, the Darling Twins will each sing of our superiority in the ring.”

C: “And that will be music to our ears.”

*CARRIE and HARPER keep walking away as the scene fades*

OOWF Saturday Slam – Feb. 24, 2024
LIVE! from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
• PORK and Meredith “Beans” Samuels vs. The Electric Company … Shizuru-Mune Mangyuniku-Cox and Jeff Mangyuniku vs. The Electric Company
Cute bit to start as The Electric Company pulls their union cards and claim that they can’t work a double-shift before exiting the ring. Well, I guess that takes care of that careless booking error. PORK and Beans and The Brothers Mangyuniku shrug and start the unplanned match proper as it proves to be a showcase for the younger members of each team as Jeff shows off his improved power game, deadlifting the 385-pound PORK at one point to wild applause. Beans counters with a perpetual offense dual-corner spot a few minutes later, competing 10 circuits between corner runs to Jeff and Shizuru-Mune. This goes the full 20 with neither team getting more than a flash near-fall. All four shake hands in the ring afterward and egg the crowd on in their desire to see more of this pairing.

Result: Time-limit draw (20:00).

• Lexie Darling vs. Harper
The former champion runs through Harper without much issue, absorbing a few strong – and brutally stiff – strikes before wrestling rings around the O’Malley lackey. Lexie taps out Harper with a Darling Clutch, pushing the limits of Angelo Barros’ patience after the bell as numerous five-counts can’t get the hold broken, but even Barros knew not to actually reverse the decision.

Result: Lexie Darling d. Harper, submission (5:27).

• Sean Franklin vs. Pete Quick
As the bell rings, Pete quickly goes for a roll-up pin, but Sean quickly kicks out and shakes his head at Pete. Sean quickly takes control of the match, tossing Pete around with reckless abandon. Pete needs a little extra time to stand up from one particularly rough suplex, and Sean sets up in the corner before nearly spearing Pete out of his footwear. Sean covers Pete, one, two, NO! Pete kicks out.

Sean starts to pull Pete back to his feet, but Pete slips in a rake of the eyes. Sean immediately sees red and starts unloading haymakers on Pete, backing him into a corner before Junior Hale steps in to separate the fighters.

When Junior steps aside, Pete charges in, but Sean wraps up and delivers a belly-to-belly suplex. He covers again, but Junior waves off the pinfall, pointing to Pete’s foot on the rope. A frustrated Sean stands up and stomps away at Pete’s ankle, drawing more admonishment from the referee.

Rather than trying to calm down his client, Rev. BRICK~! urges Sean to finish the match here and now. Sean lines up behind Pete for the Lone Wolf, but Pete lifts his leg for a kick downstairs and doubles over Sean. Pete hits the ropes and delivers a knee to the side of Sean’s head, cover, one, two, THREE!

Result: Pete Quick d. Sean Franklin, pinfall (9:24).

• Alexander Darling vs. Carrie
Another Alexander no-show is teased until Carrie sings the virtues of the company’s new champion. Alexander rushes the ring with a chair in hand, swinging wildly and clipping Carrie, who crumples as if she’s been shot. Alexander pays no mind to the acting job, putting the boots to Carrie until Harper, still selling the extended submission, hobbles to to the ring to intervene. Alexander’s disgust toward The One-Notes is only topped by his disdain to receiving cheers from the Pittsburgh crowd. Keeping Alexander heel when paired against one of the hottest heel acts in the company will be a massive challenge.

Result: No contest (0:00).

• Zed vs. Angie Delpetro
As the combatants make their way to the ring, it’s clear Zed isn’t quite as 100 percent. He’s clearly game for the fight with a determined look on his face, but he walks to the ring with the slightest of limps, which has Angie licking her chops as she watches him make his way to the ring alongside Rev. BRICK~!

Unsurprisingly, Angie takes aim at Zed’s knee with a chop block as soon as the bell rings, but Zed (unsurprisingly) sees it coming and provides a theatric step aside. Zed grabs Angie looking for an ankle lock but Angie quickly scrambles to the ropes and Zed relents.

The two fighters lock up in the middle of the ring, and Angie is able to get the upper hand. She drops Zed with a clothesline, then locks Zed into a sharpshooter. Zed’s clearly in plenty of discomfort, but Angie releases the hold as Rev. BRICK~! climbs onto the ring apron to hurl some unsavory comments her way.

While Angie and BRICK~! stand nose-to-nose, Zed tries to slap some sensation back into his leg. Angie turns back around, and this time she’s able to connect on the chop block. She starts to pull Zed towards a corner, clearly with thoughts of using the ringpost against the leg, but Zed is able to kick her away and regain his footing. Angie lines up a kick, but Zed catches her leg, spins her around … Moment of Zed! One, two, NO! Angie is able to kick out.

Zed pulls Angie up for the GTH, but he can’t quite get all of it as his leg gives way. He still gamely covers for the pinfall, but Angie again kicks out at two. She quickly makes her way to the corner with thoughts of climbing to the top rope, but Rev. BRICK~! is once again there to intervene.

As Angie and BRICK~! are again jawing at each other, Zed grabs Angie and drags her to the mat, locking in an armbar! Never considered much of a submission expert, but it looks like Zed has this locked in tight in the center of the ring! Angie fights through the pain for several seconds but eventually has no choice but to relent and tap out.

Result: Zed d. Angie Delpetro, submission (14:15).

As soon as the bell rings, Zed releases the hold and rolls out of the ring, shaking his head and making a hasty exit with Rev. BRICK~! in tow while Angie slams the mat in frustration.

• The Woodsmen and Rory Thomas vs. The Battling Baristas and Nuke
Before the bell rings, Hunter honors a local Boy Scouts troop in the ring while Rory hands its scoutmaster an oversized check for $76. I guess it’s the thought that counts. The match isn’t much of one as Nuke refuses to work with “corporate sheep” such as the Baristas. Before Nuke can walk out, Tara splashes a carafe of what appears to be medium roast in Nuke’s face. Tara and Brynn exit to a smattering of cheers as Nuke falls victim to tandem and triple-team offense, taking a particularly vicious spine buster from Dakota that led to Hunter hitting a 450 splash and Rory following with a 450 of his own that got maybe 115 degrees before impact. At least he tried.

Result: The Woodsmen and Rory Thomas d. The Battling Baristas and Nuke, pinfall (6:19)

• Non-title match: Legion vs. Mac Flasher and Sandra Fallon
The new tag champs are taken to the limit, but withstand almost everything except for Mac’s Flash Drive on Liam that got roughly 12 from the crowd counting in unison while Nigel tied himself in the ropes to pull Mel Creech away. As Sandra and Mac went to investigate the hubbub, Liam and Pete Quick, both with loaded gloves, knocked Mac and Sandra out from behind as a 3-on-2 beatdown started with fans screaming for Jack Quinn, who does not arrive. Eventually Zed and Sean Franklin, at the behest of Rev. BRICK~! charge the ring to clear out The Black Hand, who scored a massive visual victory in Mac’s coughing-up-blood sell after Pete’s repeated stomach punches with the loaded glove. Mac refuses the stretcher, but collapses halfway up the aisle as fans are now rabid in their hatred of The Black Hand.

Result: Mac Flasher and Sandra Fallon d. Legion, disqualification (10:26).

• OOWF Intercontinental Championship: Katie Bardoor (c) vs. Beverly Cambridge
While Beverly outclassed Katie in the technical portion, Katie more than made up for it in the power and brawling end of this match. These two were determined to put on a clinic and Katie was more than willing to let Beverly carry her throughout. Katie scores the win after a top-rope German suplex spot where she got her shoulder up at 2.75, though replays show that Beverly also got a shoulder up before Misato Misawa’s third strike on the mat. Beverly begrudgingly accepts the decision but points to Katie’s title, implying that she wants another shot before too long. Katie nods in affirmation.

Result: Katie Bardoor d. Beverly Cambridge, pinfall (11:47).

• Non-title match: Bridget O’Malley vs. Kylie Mignolio
Bridget panders to the Pittsburgh crowd for what seems like forever with Kylie’s impatience getting the best of her as a dropkick from behind sends the champ tumbling out of the ring, bloodying her nose as the microphone partially braced her fall. Bridget trying to play on Kylie’s insecurities while also attempting to butter her up through most of the match is not something that Kylie is buying as the former tag partners eventually settle into a neat little match with Bridget cutting every come possible and getting thwarted by Davis Hightower or having the ill-gotten advantage reversed by Kylie. The finish happens as The One-Notes’ attempt to interfere is cut off by Lexie Darling and Alexander Darling, who aren’t too pleased about working together, but pair off anyway. Bridget takes advantage of the distraction with a rollup and a generous handful of tights.

Result: Bridget O’Malley d. Kylie Mignolio, pinfall (18:23).
