RP Deadline: Friday, Apr 7, 2017 23.59PM EST

Match 1

(UKWF Broadcast Championship)

James Edwards (c) v Ace Watson

Time Limit: 20m

Ace Watson’s tenure in UKWF may have been questionable at best, but as it turns out, knowing the right people really does get you places. That is perhaps the best explanation as to why, his repeat engagements with Alyssa Drew having finished for the moment, the NME member finds himself at the receiving end of a golden opportunity: a shot at James Edwards’ Broadcast Championship. The Burning Heart will be wanting to add another notch to his belt and prove he is more than a fluke Champion, but with reinforcements waiting in the wings to make sure his opponent succeeds, he may be in for an uphill struggle. Can Edwards’ famed tenacity carry him through yet another strength-in-numbers challenge? Or will NME’s reign of terror over UKWF have yet another accomplishment added to it? Twenty minutes will tell the tale! 

Match 2

Black Storm (Declan Black & Mark Storm) v The Gemstones

Time Limit: 10m

Having successfully debuted and re-debuted in the UKWF, respectively, independent journeymen Declan Black and Mark Storm find themselves working as a team yet again on April 11. This time, their opponents are the most sparkling jewels in the tag division – Jade Goldman and Crystal Hilton, the Gemstones! With two pairs of partners who know one another inside and out, this promises to be a hotly contested match, the outcome of which could have implications towards the tag division rankings. Can the veteran newcomers rack up yet another big win? Or will they be blinded by the Gemstones’ shine? 

Match 3

Francisco Lopez v Marcus LeVine

Time Limit: 10m

At Fallout, Marcus LeVine put a temporary end to fan-favourite Wasabi’s UKWF career, by causing him to suffer a prolonged injury. It could have been worse for the luchador, however, had his partner not stepped in to stop the deranged wrestler from permanently retiring him. Now, two weeks later, Lopez finds himself one-on-one with Wasabi, in a grudge match to settle the score. But could the gritty veteran suffer the same fate as his rookie partner? There is only one way to find out! 

Match 4

Rayne Young v Wulf Erikson (w/Drew Stevenson)

Time Limit: 10m

Another wrestler who found himself in a tight spot at Fallout was Rayne Young. Despite racking up another win, albeit by disqualification, the returning veteran found himself at the receiving end of yet another attack by Blood Money – this time initiated by Wulf Erikson. This match is Young’s chance to settle the score, and put Blood Money on notice once and for all. But can he capitalise? Or will Stevenson and Erikson have the last laugh yet again?

Match 5

(Handicap Match)

Nate Krelle v Hunter Storms & Cross Recoba

Time Limit: 10m

If there is one thing Stella Chalmers-Blythe likes to do, it is to stack up the deck in her associates’ favour. Proof of exactly that can be found in this match, which sees lone wolf Nate Krelle take on not one, but both the men he has been running afoul of in recent weeks. Storms and Recoba will no doubt be relishing this chance to send yet another message to the ‘Anti-Trend’ – and Krelle is going to need all of his experience and ring smarts to foil their plans…

Match 6

Valkyrie & Blaise Fader v Kincaid & Arcane

Time Limit: 20m

After calling in a 'favour' with New Management leader Stella Chalmers-Blythe, North Sea Champion Kincaid looks set to reap the dividends of such a pact. April 4 sees the controversial Canuck team with none other than teacher's pet and head Enforcer Arcane, who will momentarily take his focus away from the United Kingdom Championship to help the Canadian ensure victory. Across the ring from them, however, will be two very righteously upset ladies - jilted North Sea challenger Valkyrie and disappointed former Champion and Kincaid supporter Blaise Fader. With Valkyrie's trademark piledriver officially banned, the two ladies look set for an uphill struggle, but if these two have taught us anything, it is that they are very, very good at Defying the Odds...

Co-Main Event 

Gaia Galanos v Jacqui Monroe

Time Limit: 20m

Gaia Galanos’ savage beatdown of Madman Szalinski at Anniversary of Aggression has incurred her the wrath of another long-time indie mainstay, and a close acquaintance of the Mad One – none other than the Alpha Bitch herself, Jacqui Monroe! A confrontation at Fallout has rekindled the long-standing rivalry between these two women, and a match was promptly made for April 4, when the Alpha Bitch will seek to administer her particular form of stretch and strike-based justice to the Sheba Lioness. But with her opponent being just as technically proficient – and angry – as she is, things are not likely to be that linear for veteran Monroe; Gaia will be seeking to assert her dominance over the one-night guest, and things could well have turned bloody by the time these two women are through… 

Main Event

(UKWF Tag Team Championships Match)
 The Master Sisters (c) v The Australian-American Connection 

Time Limit: 30 mins

At Anniversary of Aggression, the Master Sisters – Aurora and Carnival – became the first-ever duo to successfully defend the UKWF Tag Team Championships. However, this victory was not devoid of controversy, as footage revealed that Oscar and Valerie have cause to complain about events that took place during the match. This, in turn, caught the attention of part-owner James Kensington, who promptly overrode his estranged partner, Stella Chalmers-Blythe, in order to give Aus-Am the second chance he felt they deserved. That second chance will main event our April 4 show, as Oscar and Valerie attempt to right the wrongs done to them at Anniversary. Across from them, however, will be a team which has already proven itself crafty, clever, and not afraid to take shortcuts to get their way. Can the fan-favourites Defy the Odds and pull off the victory the second time around? Or will Carnival, Moonlight and Aurora keep the titles on the Management side? Thirty minutes will provide the answer!
