[i]Six days later…[/i]

The ball was rolling now after the opening show in New York. Every match that night had been received favorably by the crowd. Isabella Cadiz and Raven Veyn, former NMWW and CSW champions respectively, were in a heated deadlock after their match had been declared a no contest. Isabella Cadiz was known for her pride and Raven Veyn her unforgiving nature and bad temper and everyone knew that neither woman would settle for a draw. They would be at each others’ throats now without a doubt. 

And then there was Silas Dane’s beatdown on the young Jason Caillet and Dane’s sneering attitude seemingly aimed at the fans themselves as he declared that he would be the first No Mercy Wrestling men’s champion “like it or not”. This of course was seen as a direct challenge to the up-and-coming Jay Wyatt who had been personally recruited by Mark Trenton from another independent promotion. Jay Wyatt had been a two year reigning champion with his last “employer” and had made it clear that he planned to not only claim the honor of champion again but surpass the length of his previous reign. Winning the first ever No Mercy Wrestling main event against the Polish heavyweight Piotr Kapek had made for a very convincing debut statement by the Astro Kid. 

Diana Deguara, lead producer of No Mercy Wrestling and the daughter of GM Antonio Deguara, had announced back in New York that the winner of the main event would face a “mystery opponent” in Los Angeles. Needless to say the internet was abuzz over the next few days about who this opponent of Jay Wyatt’s might be. Claims spanned from the obvious Silas Dane to various other male talents on the NMW roster. Some fans even tossed the idea around that NMW had signed a new wrestler that would take the ring on July eleventh - the date of the LA show. 

Among the mid card matches in New York, Fiona Chevalier’s victory over Ada Eberhard had gained particular attention. Many had expected Ada, an experienced young wrestler with high ambitions and an unrelenting fighting style, to run circles around - [i]and run over[/i] - Fiona. Fiona had instead held her own and managed to defeat The Neon Diva starting her NMW career on solid footing. The fans were quite animated by this turn of expectation. Gordon McKinney put out a post the day before the LA show that the fans “would definitely be seeing more of Fiona Chevalier without delay” leading to a general assumption that Fiona was on the card for the night. The hype was very real as Friday night came and the Intuit Dome was packed to capacity for the second No Mercy Wrestling performance.
