Nitro #181 – October, Week #2

[John Greatrix]

Kevin Owens’ music hits and he is greeted by a mixed reaction as he appears on the stage then makes his way to the ring. Owens: “You people really don’t recognize greatness do you? I left Smackdown for the opportunity to achieve greatness and I get the same reaction I got over there. Luckily, I’m not here for you people. Stephanie McMahon asked me to come here to spice things up and I’m going to do just that.” Charles Offord’s music hits with him appearing on the stage with Lana. Offord: “Kevin, let me make this crystal clear to you. I didn’t ask you to come here, Stephanie did and while I respect her as a business partner, she over-stepped her authority. Stephanie was asked to come to Nitro to help manage the Women’s Division and the daily activities of Nitro in my absence. With that being said, you are a strong acquisition to the Nitro roster but please don’t think you can come onto my show and make demands. So tonight, you sir get the privilege and honour of stepping into the ring with yours truly to see what you can offer Nitro.”

Nikki Bella vs. Naomi
With Nikki in the ring everyone is surprise to see Naomi make her entrance on Nitro. The fireworks begin the minute Naomi enters the ring with both women slugging it out. The ref is constantly having a hard time keeping these two under control as they are consistently keeping holds on until the 4 count and abusing the 5 count in the corners. Both women are in the corner once again slugging it out when Rosemary and Nikki Cross appear from the crowd and attack both women. The ref calls for the bell and security runs to the ring attempting to break up the brawl. This goes on for 10 more minutes before all four women are escorted separately backstage.
Winner: No contest

Jojo is backstage with Roman Reigns. Jojo: “Roman, once again you are willing to enter the ring even though you do not have to. What keeps you motivated to wrestle week after week?” Reigns: “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m going to be a fighting champion and I don’t care who stands in my way. This is my yard and this title is going to stay around my waist and you can believe that, Jojo.”

Roman Reigns vs. Eric Young (Non-title match)
Reigns is on his way to the ring when Sanity members Alexander Wolfe and Killian Dain attack him from behind and throw Reigns into the ring. Eric Young is waiting in the ring for Reigns to get to his feet and once he does, Young locks in and with an impressive amount of strength, hits Reigns with The Youngblood (Wheelbarrow Neckbreaker). Sanity stands over Reigns as the camera fades on them.
Winner: No contest

Renee Young is in the back with Kevin Owens. Renee: “Kevin, for the first time, you face Charles Offord. How are you feeling for this historic match?” Owens: “Charles Offord should be happy that I am on his stupid show and giving it some life. But what does he do? He plays a power trip and puts me in a match against himself. I will not be bullied around like I was on Smackdown. I’m here to win the World Title and Charles Offord isn’t going to stop me from taking it.”

Kevin Owens vs. Charles Offord
Both men put on a solid 25 minute match and are showing the wear and tear from their match. Offord is in control at the moment after hitting Owens with a jumping knee. Owens is quick to recover and is on his feet quickly only to eat a clothesline that sends him back down. Offord hauls Owens to his feet and whips him into the corner. Offord is about to charge, when Braun Strowman’s music hits with him appearing from backstage and running to the ring. Strowman charges Offord, picks him up and slams him into Owens. The ref quickly calls for the bell.
Winner: No Contest

Strowman hits a Running Powerslam on Offord then grabs Owens. Owens receives a Running Powerslam of his own. Strowman stands in the ring above Offord and Owens when Paul Heyman appears from backstage. Heyman: “Kevin Owens claims his is going to take the World Title and that Charles Offord isn’t going to stop him. Mr. Owens, I have to inform you that Mr. Offord isn’t the World Champion, my client Braun Strowman is the World Champion. In case you are unaware who my client is, he is the man who just Powerslammed you and Mr. Offord. He is the man standing above you having dealt with you the way a monster deals with a pest. He is the man that if you enter into a match with him, he is going to end your short career on Nitro. He is the reigning, defending, undisputed CWA World Champion!”
