Opening
Outcome: ‘Jingle Bells’ hits as we get a very Xmas themed opening to Black Xmas, the first ever TXW PPV taking place on this special day of the year. It’s just how TXW has to end the year as it’s a blockbuster of a night. The theme changes to the official theme as ‘Rotting In Vain’ hits while we get highlights of all the big feuds leading into this event.
Here in Toronto we are treated to a very Xmas themed ring and stage set up. At ringside sat Tasia Wicha and Ray Wallington sat in Xmas themed attires all to bring in the festive season. Together they run down the shows card, all excited about the prospect of what is about to go down. Ray is excited to be back behind the announcer’s desk after a spell away from the company. Khaos resignation forced the companies hand and thankfully they were still on good terms with Ray.
“Welcome to TXW Black Xmas , our first ever PPV to be held on Xmas day. Thank you to all the fans who showed up tonight to make this one of the best atmosphere’s I have ever seen. We have a blockbuster show tonight with major implications for the year to come. Who will walk into the new year with the championships? We are about to find out. And of course without further delay, let me welcome back Ray Wallington who will be resuming his role here alongside me.” Tasia opened up as Ray is all smiles at being reintroduced. He is a unique commentator and won’t add too much biased to the table since he isn’t Daniel Khaos. He’s a slightly toned down version of Mike Hawk, the two would get on well. Probably why he is chosen to be the replacement for the moody Brit.
“Pleasure to be back and I really couldn’t have chosen a better show to return to. This is Black Xmas and I think we shouldn’t delay this masterpiece any further. Let’s hand it over to Mike who is in Santa work shop to determine who is Santa’s little helper.” Ray said with delight as the cameras are all set up in the back where we get another first ever type match for TXW.

OPENING MATCH
Britt Montgomery vs Charlene Layne vs Rebecca Nightingale vs Zoey Mathieu vs Diamond Jackson vs Jezabel Jezzi
Stipulation: Santa's Little Helper - Winner Earns A Women's Title Shot (Cashed In When They Choose)
Result: The first match of the night was here and it was sure to be a crowd pleasing one, at least for the male fans. Five women battling it out in a Santa's Little Helper match, presented by Mike Hawk. Somewhere backstage Britt, Charlene, Diamond, Jezabel, Rebecca and Zoey had gathered. Each of them wearing a themed outfit to get in the mood of the holiday season. "Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Santa's Workshop! As you look around you'll see a place normally filled with joy and magic but tonight it will be filled with aggression. With anger, hatred and violence. We might even get a little nudity if we're lucky. I want you to take a look around, everything you see in this room you may use as you see fit because there are no rules. The only way to achieve victory is to sit on my lap for five seconds. Above my chair you'll see a timer which will be operated by a non-biased helper. If the timer hits zero that means the person on my lap has achieved victory. And as a reminder winning this match gets you a special present from me in the form of a title shot that you can redeem at anytime within the next year. Are we all ready? I guess let the festivities begin...oh, I almost forgot. Some of the gifts in this room are more than just props for the set. So be sure to open them on up."
With that Mike waves his arm and a bell it rang. The woman all take a moment to look around at this foreign space. Look up "Santa's Workshop" online and you'd find a solid match for this place. Filled with wrapped presents of various sizes and other toys. There was a decorated tree and even a lit fireplace. Another strong feature of the setup was the conveyor belt to the side of the room. But that was enough looking around, it was time to get to the action.
Britt was quick to go after Rebecca, Diamond charged Zoey which left Jezabel and Charlene to do battle. Each woman certainly looked in the theme of the match in their skimpy outfits, some being much more daring than others. Britt had caught Rebecca off guard which allowed her to tackle Rebecca to the ground. There was a brief moment with Britt on top, landing a couple of forearms and a slap before Rebecca started to fight back. After a brief struggle she was able to regain some control by poking Britt in the eye, a legal move in this match. It sent Britt into the defensive as she attempted to clear her vision only for her to be on the receiving end of a bulldog from Rebecca. It sent Britt face first into the ground that was covered by nothing more than some wrestling mats. Over with Diamond and Zoey, the rookie was still showing a flash of green as she was getting overwhelmed by the former champion early. She also didn't seem entirely at peace with wrestling in something so revealing. Zoey was backed up into one of the walls after eating a few forearms herself. With a boot to the stomach, Diamond was quick to hit her opponent with a snap suplex. "And people tried to tell me this was just a personal fantasy match. Is it a fantasy for me? Sure. But you can't tell me that didn't hurt."
Mike had got himself mic'd up for the match to add a brief amount of commentary to the entire thing since they were backstage. Meanwhile, Charlene and Jezabel had been going back and forth with control. Neither one able to keep the control for long enough to gain a real advantage. That was until Jezabel flashed a brief moment of lost focus allowing Charlene to capitalize via leaping up and planting her down with a DDT through one of the nearby presents. She was quick to follow it up by locking Jezabel into a Figure Four Leg Lock. You couldn't win via submission or eliminate anyone but the hold was sure to damage and slow the pink haired one for the rest of the match. As Jezabel rolled away after the lock was released, an item fell out of the now destroyed present, a large water gun. As Charlene picked it up she quickly noticed the liquid was thicker than water. And that's because the gun was full with sex lube. For a brief moment Charlene glared over at Mike who was just grinning. But that brief moment of distain was enough for Diamond to come rushing from behind and clubbing her in the back. Charlene tumbled forwards but got back to her feet quickly only to get put back down with a clothesline. As Charlene tried to recover Diamond looked down at the gun and smirked, picking it up and giving it a few pumps. She begins spraying Charlene in lube, only stopping once the gun was empty. Charlene let out a yell, trying to clear some of it off her face. Diamond did little more than smile but then another idea popped into her head. She walked over to the massive teddy bear in the corner, ripping at it until one of the seams burst open. As the cotton stuffing fell out she grabbed handful after handful, tossing it on Charlene. Due to the lube, it all stuck, covering Charlene in a cotton mess all before Diamond grabs her by the back of the head and tosses her into the giant bear and remaining cotton filling.
"Who wants their own personal Charlene Layne teddy to cuddle at night?" Mike of course had to call attention to that action. Back with the women, Rebecca and Britt had continued to stay focused on one another. Each of them having a period of control before losing it back to the other. For the moment Britt had Rebecca on the defense once more after evading an attack like she was in the matrix and following it with a Canadian backbreaker rack. It allowed Britt to catch a bit of a breather while also doing just enough to stay in control. Back with Zoey, she had recovered from the earlier attack and had decided to take a different approach. Sneaking over to Mike while the rest were distracted. She quickly hopped onto his lap which started the countdown. A loud bell sounds to make others aware. The seconds ticked down getting to just under a second before Diamond dove in and knocked Zoey off Mike's lap. Something he of course frowned over since he had a lovely lady sitting in his lap that was now gone. Zoey is dragged up by her hair but breaks the grip by slapping away the arm of Diamond. She follows that up quickly with a forearm smash that backs the former champion up. Another forearm backs her up once more, this time spinning her around. Out of nowhere Jezabel super kicks the blonde sending her to the mat. We seem to have a brief alliance as Zoey and Jezabel drag Diamond back to her feet. They walk her over to the conveyor belt, laying her down on it. They count and then get a brief run, pushing Diamond on it. They release their grip, eventually causing Diamond to fly off the end into another pile of presents. The two women take a moment to enjoy their work before agreeing the time for celebrating was for later.
The alliance seemed to be hold as they went on the attack of the other two women. Zoey going after Britt while Jezabel dragged an exhausted and currently beaten Rebecca to her feet.
Britt had been in solid control of Rebecca until getting blindsided by Zoey. It was time for the Nightingale in blood to showcase she did have what it took no matter the circumstances. Zoey stayed aggressive landing multiple knee strikes and even used the setting to her advantage by climbing up to one of the upper levels to land a diving clothesline. It didn't hit from very high, only a couple steps up but it was still enough to put Britt down. Back over with Jezabel and Rebecca, the reborn Nightingale was showing signs of fatigue after taking an early beating from Britt. Jezabel had moved slow with her attacks but remained active mixing in a clothesline, a DDT and various strikes. While she had Rebecca down she remembered what Mike had said about the presents. Digging through some and finding a leather covered paddle. She looked around with a smirk on her face before looking back at Rebecca. "Looks like Rebecca has been a naughty girl and needs a spanking." Mike couldn't help but smile. As Jezabel walked over to Rebecca she was met with a spear out of nowhere. Rebecca refusing to just accept defeat like that. She had been on a mission to prove she was one of the best. Jezabel had been badly winded from the attack but thankfully Rebecca was also using that moment to catch a breather. Back with the other ladies, Zoey's momentum had been briefly stopped by a drop toe hold from Britt. It was time to have fun, Britt had seen the paddle that Jezabel dropped and was quick to grab it. While Zoey was sitting on her elbows and knees, trying to shake her head clear she is grabbed from behind. The skirt to her outfit had been lifted by Britt and then her panties pulled down. TXW was getting a show of a Zoey's bare ass which was then spanked with the paddle three times before she was able to scurry away and fix her outfit. Britt couldn't help but laugh at the moment before walking towards Zoey as she got back to her feet. But the rookie proved that she wasn't going to be distracted as she hits Britt with the Mathieu Cutter (Regal Cutter) almost out of nowhere. It left Britt down and out. At almost the same moment Rebecca had taken care of Jezabel by whipping her into the stack of large wood letter blocks which spelled out "SEXY".
Rebecca turns to see Zoey standing there glaring at her. "Sister on sister action? Yes please." The two tie up before Rebecca quickly locks her into a side headlock. Rebecca doesn't keep the hold long as she spins and hits Fear The Night (Snap DDT). Just like that the rookie had been taken out. Rebecca sat there a moment before smirking, seeing victory in her sights. She looked over at Mike, pointing at him and even winking as she walked over to him. Once there she sat down on his lap and the counter started. She sat there, confident and smiling. But with two seconds left to go she is hit from behind. Diamond had recovered from the attack earlier and even played a bit of possum letting the others take each other out. Before Rebecca had a chance to recover, Diamond stays on the attack though doesn't use violence. Instead she pulls on the outfit of Rebecca not stopping until she had been stripped of it. Rebecca was left standing in nothing but her stockings and a thong. She wasn't shy but still reacted by covering her chest up, leaving herself defenseless. Diamond quickly rushes her, hits a hard clothesline before rushing over to Mike. The count started, eventually hitting zero meaning Diamond Jackson had won the match.
Diamond is happy with this as she has backed up her talk and can now look forward to a one on one title shot in the near future, or whenever she wants. She can wait into next Xmas if she wanted too. Rebecca stayed down while the others recovered from what they went through. A memorable match for them all.

Segment
Outcome: Live cut to Kaci Woodworth who is with the TXW live panel who are reacting to that opening match. On the panel we have RC GM Aaron Bateman, Crystal Sweet and Johnny Mercer all sharing their views on what we just saw in that Santa’s Little Helper match which saw Diamond Jackson walk out as the winner.
“Well that was something sure worth tuning in for. What did you make of our opener here at Black Xmas? Quite the spectacle everyone was expecting?” Kaci said as the panel got to weight on what they thought of what we just saw. It really was an eye catching start to the show and the winner is a standout considering she was once the Women’s champion here.
“I’m disappointed Zoey didn’t win in all honesty, but she still has a long road ahead and I for one have faith in her. It’s a big win for Diamond as in my opinion she needed it after all that happened to her at the tail end of 2016.” Johnny said as he added his view on how things went down. Quite clearly he is a fan of the Nightingale’s, despite most being hounded out or making a decision to leave. He still wasn’t going to say it wasn’t a good win for Diamond, because it is.
Aaron nods as he offered out his view too. “I think it puts extra eyes on that women’s title match, so it’s a good opening from that prospective. Cassie and Karla will be hoping Diamond doesn’t feel like getting a title shot tonight as she might just use it when both of them are done fighting.” Aaron said as he did think it added more to that title match later in the show.
“I agree, if I were Cassie or Karla I would be putting in some last minute training just to make sure I am prepared for two matches rather than one.” Crystal added as Kaci handed it back over to the ringside team as we are set up for the next match here at Black Xmas.

SECOND MATCH
Trevor Marshall and Lauren Li w/ Robyn Bryce vs Andy Justice and Raine
Stipulation: Tornado Tag
Result: We have seen quite the eye catching beginning to this show, but now the focus is on ringside where we get to see our first in ring action. The match has an interesting complex added to it as Lauren went out her way to hire Jason White’s old manager Robyn Bryce. The Multi-talented British beauty is an interesting addition as they don’t seem to mesh well, yet the Lethal one sees this as a help to her career.
Out first walks the Justice Bringers, Andy Justice and Raine. The team more commonly known as a team rather than just a couple, they were once the Tag Team Champions of the company so that says it all. It can’t be said about the two they are about to battle with as Lauren and Trevor are NOT known as a team. If anything they have been better off as a single’s wrestlers. This union is just for the sake of getting revenge.
‘Gasoline’ hit first as Lauren Li makes her entrance first with her new manager Robyn Bryce with her. The two of them get a mixed reaction as the Brit hasn’t ever been a fan favourite in this company. The names she has worked with in the past said it all and she isn’t about to make many friends here by how she conducts business, despite being a hometown girl.
Lauren gets into the ring and doesn’t wait for her tag partner to show up. Instead she attacks Raine and gets in some kicks with her right leg. Andy tries to attack back, only for his legs to be swept from under him. He ends up sitting up and then gets kicked right across the bridge of the nose. The red head steps forward after being winded from the earlier kicks and ends up being kicked across the chest. Then comes a lethal takedown with a roundhouse kick to the face. Talk about lethal.
“Lauren Li is showing her time with Robyn during the days heading into this event has been well spent. Her head seems more focused on her actions rather than worrying about her vulnerabilities.” Tasia said as we are seeing a more focused Lauren than ever before. Is this short amount of time already helped her mental state? We all have to wait and see as Trevor is still due out.
‘Ready For War’ hits as the powerhouse himself, the former World Champion Trevor Marshall makes his arrival to the arena. He charges down and seemed ready to mow down just about anyone who gets in his path. He charges in and right away Andy is standing. The Justice Bringer then eats a Snapper aka Spear which laid him out in the middle of the ring. It’s not missed by Raine, who rolled out and drags her boyfriend out right after as this match is already going sour.
“Incredible stuff from this couple.” Tasia said as the camera focuses on the sight of a smiling Robyn Bryce who is clapping her hands together. Trevor walked over to Lauren and clearly said something to her along the lines of ‘This is you’. The fans are more into this side of her but this is still early days, the bell hasn’t even started.
Andy is hurting and had to take time to recover. Not that he had any time to do that as the referee thought it is fine enough to ring the bell to officially start this one, let the war between these two just happen the way it’s supposed to happen. There would be no holding back from anyone in this fight or you’d imagine. If they did it would be odd considering what all of them have been going through lately.
Lauren got out the ring about to go after Raine who got one over her in that Bloody Xmas Match, a first of its kind. Now here we are at a very Xmas setting and blood might just spill again. More kicks are handed out as that right leg showed no sign of being hurt or at least not from what you see from the Lethal one. She got in a few more kicks, only for Andy to run over and floor her with a running high knee. Holding his ribs after didn’t seem to make him regret his choice, he aided his tag partner there.
The T man got out the ring after seeing that as he starts firing punches right at the former Xtreme Champion. All of these fighting it out have been a champion one way or another. It’s not how they imagined the year ending but pride is still a very important thing to retain. Neither pair wanted to end the year with a big loss here at Black Xmas.
The two end up near the announcers table where Trevor punches away at Andy into he is sat on the table. One desperate kick from Justice did connect and kept the Apocalypse away, all be it briefly. It did give him time to pull himself up into a standing position on the announcers table. Then he flies off, trying to hit any type of high flying move he can hit. Instead he gets caught and power slammed right onto the mat on the outside. Ouch!
“Down goes Justice!” Wallington said, finally adding to this match as he is finally settling back into TXW. That was some counter and it left Justice in agony. It left the T man fired up if he wasn’t already and yeah he did look at Robyn, who isn’t even watching what he is doing. Instead her focus is on Lauren and her battle with Raine.
Those two are currently battling it out across the other side of the ring , closer to the ramp. Lauren did hit a few more kicks but was caught when one went a little too high. Raine then floored her and got on top of her, punching away at her to show her that strikes with your hands can be just as lethal.
The former Women’s champion then grabs hold of Lauren’s hair, drags her up and knees her in the face as she pulled her closer. Raine knee strikes her a couple times and then sets up a suplex. She grabs her shorts, lifts her up and then viciously drops her right on her head! It left a lot gasping at the vicious ways about these two women. Not that it is too shocking, just seeing that is.
Lauren lay there holding her neck, just as Raine gets in the face of Robyn. She tells her to go back to England as she shouldn’t here. Trevor then comes over and gets inbetween them, shoving Raine back which knocked her right on her ass. He is really pissed off at seeing that as he didn’t want his girlfriend to have another injury, despite the fact this is a risk in every match.
“A nasty landing for Lauren there might very well see her out of this contest.” Tasia said as the big man gets into the ring as he starts pacing around. Robyn meanwhile checked on Lauren who is at least able to move despite dropping on her head in that way. It didn’t mean she is out of the woods just yet as that could be a stinger.
Back in the ring Raine gets in, not afraid of Trevor despite the size difference between the two. The destroyer tried to take her head off with a clothesline but she dodges it and kicks at his knee, the same one that Lauren has damaged. It was one way to take down a bigger man, even if his legs are like tree trunks. Two more kicks didn’t change much and a third kick is caught by Trevor, which allows him to just lift her up onto his shoulders for a powerbomb position. It is about to be a rough landing for the former Women’s champion, the one who is going after the title of the Lethal One.
Instead Justice gets in and he throws himself at Trevor’s leg to chop block him. Raine jumped off his shoulders and then hit a Sweet Sacrifice once he fell to his knees. His height no longer meant anything as Justice helped his girlfriend roll over the Apocalypse as they both hooked his legs. Could this be a big win for the former Tag Champions?
1……………………2……………………………..NOOOOOOOOOO!
Trevor powers out at the last moment as Lauren is still sitting outside at ringside while being tested by Robyn. It meant no save was made but Trevor’s will not to lose was enough to give him strength to kick out. He wasn’t about to die here on PPV, not after the year he has had. It wouldn’t be a way he wanted this to go down.
Raine looks pissed off at the kick out as she decided to get out the ring while Justice starts to stamp away at Trevor, just to keep him on the canvas. It is working well as Raine got out, reached under the ring then got a hold of a baton placed under there. It looked like we are about to see our first bit of true violence here. That’s into Lauren got up, ran around and then super kicks the Crimson Curse right in the face.
“Lauren’s back!” Ray said with delight as she got up onto the apron. Only Justice saw her and he runs over about to try knock her off with a big boot. She instead beat him to the punch by using the ropes to jump up and then kick him right in the face. It made him stumble back then walk into the second Snapper of the night as Trevor made the cover.
1…………………………..2……………………………3!
What a win here for Trevor and Lauren as they finally got their monkey off their back. Lauren got in the ring and raised Trevor’s arm as Robyn clapped for both of them. A great way to spend Xmas even if Trevor remains unconvinced as he looks over at the proud Brit. Is she the cause of this new found confidence in Lauren? We will all have to wait and see.

Segment
Outcome: Backstage we see a happy looking Diamond Jackson walking through the backstage area with her boyfriend Frank Stone, hand in hand. In her other hand is the contract that states she can use her contract at any given time. The camera continues to follow them as it look like they were heading up to the Sky box for to watch the rest of the show. Interesting indeed as she could’ve easily just left the arena.
