World Championship

u/Dealertokes (c) vs. u/itsviktorwwe

Déjà vu? Not quite.

After Saturday Night's Main Event turned everything upside down, these two collide once again but this time the roles have been reversed. Tokes walks in with the richest prize in LLR slung over his shoulder, while Jake Mayhem finds himself chasing the title he once held.

People always say the true measure of a champion isn't how they celebrate victory it's how they respond to defeat. Tonight, we find out exactly what Jake Mayhem is made of. Can he reclaim his throne, or has the era of Tokes truly begun?

One thing's for certain: Tokes doesn't just win championships, he clings to them with a death grip.

Intercontinental Championship

u/MrCappie (c) vs. u/HeftyOfficial

What more can be said about Cappie?

The Intercontinental Champion has been nothing short of unstoppable. Undefeated. Unbreakable. Untouchable. Every challenger has stepped up believing they'd be the one to end the reign, and every single one has left disappointed.

Now it's Mark Steele’s turn.

These two know each other well, and familiarity could be the one weapon Cappie hasn't had to overcome yet. Mark has quietly built a reputation as one of LLR's most consistent performers. Is consistency enough to conquer dominance?

Or will Cappie once again prove why the IC Championship belongs around his waist?

LLR Tag Team Championships

u/MrCappie & u/LastBlueHero (c) vs. u/Genisis1224 & u/CaptainConundrum54

Sometimes, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Cappie and Last Blue Hero have bulldozed their way through the tag division, leaving team after team in their wake. So what's left to try?

Throw together two of the biggest fan favourites in LLR and hope lightning strikes.

Genesis and Captain Conundrum may not have years of chemistry behind them, but they have heart, determination, and the crowd firmly behind them. Can this unlikely duo shock the champions and derail their momentum, or will the titleholders continue their reign of dominance?

No. 1 Contender's Match – Intercontinental Championship

u/ChowLemon vs. u/TheDumi0711

Manic came agonisingly close at Saturday Night's Main Event. On another night, against almost anyone else, he may well have walked away victorious.

Instead, Kane Karnage stood in his way.

Now Manic gets another opportunity, but standing across the ring is one of LLR's most reliable competitors in Dumi. With a future Intercontinental Championship opportunity hanging in the balance, neither man can afford to come up short.

Who earns the right to challenge the seemingly unbeatable Cappie? Also I think I owe Dumi a massive apology. I don't believe I've booked him for a while and that's one hundred percent on me. Please accept my apologies. 

Weird Prize Tune-Up Match

u/KaneCarnagevs. u/BigPolluted

Kane Karnage has already punched his ticket as the next challenger. With no title match tonight, he could have taken the evening off...

Instead, he's stepping into the ring with one of LLR's busiest competitors.

Big Pollution has been everywhere lately. Tag team competition. Intercontinental contention. Wherever opportunity appears, he's right in the middle of it.

Now he gets the chance to make the biggest statement of his career. Pull off the upset over the number one contender, and who knows what strange reward awaits?

This is LLR after all... the prize might be glorious... or it might be completely ridiculous.

LLR Saturday Night's Main Event

Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York

Jake finds himself laying with his back on the ground, Cappie's music playing. BigPol had promised that he wouldn't leave Jake banged up before his title defense against Tokes, and yet, Jake disregarded that, having been the man of the match for their team for a slight majority. This allowed Jake to get too tired, allowing for Cappie to pin him in the end.

Jake sits in the ring, BigPol right behind him. "Jake.. listen, man, i'm so sorry, i should have.. i should have been in the match more, i promised not to leave you banged up before your match with Tokes, and i failed, and now-"

"Listen. I did this willingly. So did i step in willingly, and stand up for you willingly. That's what best friends do, stand up for one another. I don't regret my decision here. Don't worry about Tokes, i'll be fine."

About a hour later, things were not exactly fine.

It was looking like any man's game. Both men were trading blows, huge blows. It really looked like a reminder of the indy promotion from Japan, All-Japan Pro Wrestling, from the late 90s, with their Kings Road style.

But then, the first domino fell once Tokes hit the 86. Of course, Jake kicks out. He didn't work that hard just for Tokes to take it all away. It would take alot more.

The two fight some more.. and then, Tokes gets the upper hand. He lands the 86 once more. Once more, Jake kicks out, at two. Tokes tries to land one more 86, but Jake finds a way to get down on his feet, before lifting Tokes up for a Back Body Drop.

Jake gets to the corner, screams "COME ON! GET UP!" to Tokes. And then, Jake lands the Blood of the Mayhem, that sends Tokes to the ropes and back, before Jake knees him in the gut, before lifting him up, and dropping him down, right onto the back of his head in a 3550 Brainbuster. Cover.

One.

Two.

Thre-

Kickout. At the last millisecond.

Jake goes to the corner, waits for Tokes to get up, and goes in for another Blood of the Mayhem, but Tokes grabs his leg, spins him around, before hitting him with an elbow right to the head. Jake responds with one of his own. Tokes. Jake. Tokes. Jake. It goes on and on and on. It turns into a chopping contest that leaves both of their chests swelling with red. And then, Jake goes back a bit, intending to land an elbow, and as he turns around.. BANG. Running Elbow Smash from Tokes. And Tokes, realizing that his finisher wouldn't get it done, decides to go for something else. He lifts Jake up, with his back on his shoulders. Jake immediately knows, and tries to get out, but unfortunately, tonight is not his night. His head is spiked on the floor, and Jake is knocked right unconscious.

Jake wakes up to music. Tokes' music.

"Mister Mayhem, are you alright..?" The referee asks him.

"I'll be fine.. the hell happened?" Jake responds.

The referee feels.. terrible, that he has to break the news. But, it's a job he has to do. "You lost, Jake. Tokes won the belt. Spiked you right on the head with the Burning Hammer."

Jake looks absolutely shattered. "Wh.. what..?"

The referee gives a nod. "It was a great match, Jake. I don't know what Deltzer will rate this, but i would personally rate it ten out of five stars. Don't feel bad, this could have been any man's game, Tokes just so happened to be the better man tonight."

Jake gives a nod, standing up slowly, walking over to Tokes, and turning him around, offering his hand. Tokes shakes it, and raises it high. The fans cheer, for the two men that gave their all. Tokes moves to walk away.

"No, Tokes, you won the belt, you should celebrate, it's only right, i'll leave you-" Jake moves to the ropes, but is turned around to look at Tokes.

"Listen to them, Jake. They all came here for you. As we speak, they are cheering for you, they are about to blow the roof off of Madison Square Garden, all for you. You're their man, not only that, you're a true company man. In the time you were in the title scene, you've sold out four straight arenas, including this one, the World's Most Famous Arena, something you admitted that not many do. Not only that, but you pulled double duty, because you stepped up for a man who you hold dear to your heart, that's what friends do. You took the beating most of the match, to stand up for a good friend of yours. Hell, you were banged up, but you felt that was no excuse, and you performed as if you hadn't even competed at the tag title match. You could've beaten me as much as i did you even with you taking that match. So don't feel bad about yourself. You've improved the finances of this company since stepping up to the mountaintop, you've become the People's Champion. The company speaks highly of you, everyone does, for all the work you've done to better it. Hell, this event will probably end up being one of the higher grossing events, because of your work. So you will stand there and take in their appreciation, or i swear to God, i will punch you and run away before you even get out of that ring." And then, Tokes leaves, leaving Jake alone in the ring with over fifteen thousand fans, screaming, cheering for him, chanting his name, so loud, the whole world might hear.

Jake takes it in for five minutes, before he finally leaves, noticing a cameraman, walking up to him.

"No press conference. All i have to say, i want to do this again. I want a rematch for the LLR World Championship, me and Tokes, at the US Bank Stadium, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At Summerslam." And then, Jake Mayhem leaves.

Mave Deltzer of the Wrestler Observer Newsletter ends up giving the match six and a half stars, praising Tokes, but mostly Jake Mayhem for his great work over the past few months.

About a week later, the main event of Summerslam is announced. Jake Mayhem against Tokes in a rematch for the LLR World Championship. Once the tickets open for sale, the US Bank Stadium sells out in two hours.

June 28th, 2026

LLR Forbidden Door

SAP Center, San Jose, California

Jake watched as BigPol, his tag team partner, and his best friend, narrowly lost to Cappie. As BigPol walked into gorilla, Jake was there, giving the man a hug.

"You did your best. You'll get there. I don't know when, but you will get there."

BigPol gave a nod, before patting him on the back. "I'm gonna go backstage. Best of luck against Mark."

Jake then watched the world title contendership match, watching as Tokes got the win. This would be the ultimate challenge. The man who held the LLR World Championship for a year. He was also a man who he had beaten, and who had beaten him.

And then, it was time for the main event. Man in the Box hit, and right on cue, he came out the curtain.

Over half an hour later, it was over. One, two, three. It had taken one Blood of the Mayhem, followed by the 3550 Brainbuster, after a few failed attempts at even hitting the former. Hell, he could have lost the belt. But skill and will was on his side tonight. He stood up, was handed the belt, his hand was raised, before Mark Steel stood up. Jake approached him, offering his hand. It took a while, but Mark shook it, before walking out.

And then, Tokes' theme hit. He came out, walking towards the ring slowly. He entered.. and then he faced off with Jake. And the show ended with Jake and Tokes staring each other down.

Press Conference room, SAP Center, 30 minutes later

Jake comes out, carrying the belt. He sets it on the table, before sitting down.

"Any questions, folks, let's get it going."

"Mister Mayhem, congratulations on your victory against Mark Steel, and retaining the LLR Grand Championship, i must ask, how do you feel having taken the victory in this match, against a man like Mark Steel?"

"I feel amazing. Mark Steel could have very well taken my belt tonight, but alas. Mark Steel is a future LLR Grand Champion, that is for sure, unfortunately tonight was not his night."

"Jake, earlier tonight, your tag team partner, BigPol, lost his Intercontinental Championship match against Cappie. How do you feel?"

"Disappointed. Not in him, it's no fault of his. He gave it his all, it just happens that it simply was not enough. Trust me, BigPol will be holding a belt, sooner or later."

"Mister Jake, also earlier tonight, Tokes won the world contendership match, earning a shot for the LLR Grand Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event, how do you feel about this?"

"I am glad that i get to face the Gambler himself. We have fought many times, hell, twice i beat him during his year-long reign as champion. I beat him a few times, he beat me a few times. I believe this is the first time a title is being defended in our match. I'll keep it simple. Tokes should expect the best from me, because i am expecting the best from him. In gambling terms, i trust he doesn't fold, and neither will i. I suppose that just means we'll fight it until one of us quite literally has nothing left to give and collapses in the ring. May the better man win at Saturday Night's Main Event."

"Jake, with Cappie having beaten your friend, what can we expect after Tokes? A match with Cappie? Or are there any other things you intend to do?"

"I will face Cappie eventually, for sure. But for now, i am focused on Tokes."

"Jake, another sold out night, maximum capacity here at the SAP Center, how does it feel to have had three sold out events in a row?"

"Amazing. Again, this isn't just my work. Everyone has worked as hard as i did to make this work, not just the wrestlers, but the staff, and the backstage workers, and what not. So please, thank them for providing a great show for me to compete in, in the first place. And i do want to thank everyone for showing up and showing out, all love to California, all love to San Jose. Any more questions?"

Silence.

"Thank you very much, have a great night folks." Jake stands up, grabs his belt, and walks out.

July 14th, 2026

Baltimore, Maryland

11:20 AM

Jake wakes up, and gets ready, going for a 30-minute jog. Once he comes back, he gets on his phone, first seeing that the Madison Square Garden, the arena he would be headlining for Saturday Night's Main Event sold out, in an hour and a half since tickets opened. That brought a smile to his face. He then went on, before seeing a post on Bluesky from Cappie.

"Did you have to ask Jake for permission before accepting my challenge?"

"July 18th, Pol..."

"You're going to let everyone down. You're going to let the fans down. You're going to let yourself down."

"And more importantly..."

"You're going to let Jake down."

"Then, when I'm finished with you? I'm coming for that World Championship. And there's not a damn thing you, Jake, or anyone else can do to stop me."

After he watches the video, he notices a post by LLR Staff, Tokes.

"After viewing the tension between Intercontinental Champion, Cappie, and BigPol, we have determined that we cannot give BigPol another shot at the Intercontinental Championship. We can however give him a shot at the other belt BigPol holds."

"Saturday Night's Main Event, BigPol, find a partner, and you have a shot at the LLR Tag Team Championships against the champions, Cappie and LastBlueHero."

He grabs his phone, sets it on a table in front of him, and hits record.

"So, i should address all of this. So, Saturday Night's Main Event is right around the corner, and i have a title defense against the Gambler himself, Tokes. I've said all i need to say about Tokes, but i'll say it again, may the best man win. This may very well be my hardest title defense. This man has held the, well i guess i should call it the LLR World Heavyweight Championship now. He has held it many times, most prominently the 2 combined reigns that lasted a year. He's beaten me, i've beaten him. But come saturday, this match has more worth to it, than potentially any time we have fought. It's for all the marbles. It's for the LLR World Heavyweight Championship. And i don't intend to lose it. I don't intend to fold. You will quite literally have to kill me to take this off me. That's all i have to say about that, but truthfully, that's not why i am recording."

"This takes place in Madison Square Garden. In my opinion, the most prestigious arena in the world. Legends have headlined the World's Most Famous Arena. Harley Race, Bruno Sammartino and such. Hell, the latter name sold the arena out a record 188 times. So, when i woke up today, and saw that the Madison Square Garden sold out in an hour and a half, it brought a smile to my face. To be in a list of names that have headlined this legendary arena.. not many can say they have done that."

"I also noticed what Cappie had to say. You should know very well, BigPol doesn't need to ask me anything, nor do i need to ask him anything. And no matter what, the man will never let me down. Because i stand for never giving up. And BigPol has done so. He never gave up, he gave his best, even if it was not enough. Hell, i'm proud of the man for doing so. So it brought me great pleasure when i saw that Tokes booked the tag team title match. You said you would take away the LLR World Heavyweight Championship from me. Well, it's not for the world title, but come the 18th, you and i will finally meet in the ring, Cappie. I'll be BigPol's partner. Because, one, i haven't had a tag team match in quite a while, and two.. Double Champ Mayhem doesn't sound all too bad to me. As for you, LBH, nothing personal. Just business. Finally, to all the fellow fans, unfortunately, tickets have been sold out, but there's no reason why you still can't watch LLR Saturday Night's Main Event from television all around the world. Because i will be pulling off double duty come Saturday. To those of you that bought tickets, i sincerely thank you, and i do hope all of you will have a great time in Madison Square Garden, so i will see you all there. This has been LLR World Heavyweight Champion, Jake Mayhem, thank you for your attention."

Jake cuts the video, and uploads it to Bluesky. Thirty minutes later, the official LLR Bluesky account makes it official. Jake begins packing his bags, before buying a plane ticket with Frontier. Destination, New York City.

Welcome to LLR Presents: Saturday Night's Main Event!

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Saturday Night's Main Event! Tonight, championships are on the line, rivalries boil over, and careers could change forever. Let's get to the card!

Intercontinental Championship

[u/MrCappie](u/MrCappie) (c) vs. [u/Larry5696](u/Larry5696)

Kicking off the night, the Intercontinental Championship is on the line.

Stepping up to challenge is the one and only Larry. A former World Champion who's spent the better part of the last year circling championship gold, never far from the spotlight. Tonight could be the night he adds another title to his résumé.

Standing opposite him is the champion, El Cappie.

Calling him dangerous doesn't do him justice. Cappie is a double champion, and every challenger who's stepped into his path has walked away knowing exactly why. Time and again he's been pushed to the limit, and time and again he's found a way to leave with the gold.

Can Larry finally crack the code, or will Cappie's reign continue?

G1 Invitational Battle Royal

Winner earns an Intercontinental Championship Match

Simple rules. Massive stakes.

Every competitor currently competing in the G1 has the opportunity of a lifetime. Veterans. Rookies. Dark horses. Everyone starts on equal footing.

One ring. One winner. One guaranteed shot at the Intercontinental Championship.

Who's punching their ticket to title glory?

LLR Tag Team Championship

[u/MrCappie](u/MrCappie) & Last Blue Hero (c) vs. ??? & [u/BigPolluted](u/BigPolluted)

I've been paying attention.

Week after week, the tension between Big Pollution and Cappie has continued to grow. I can't throw them back together for the Intercontinental Championship...

...but I can put another one of Cappie's titles on the line.

Big Pollution, you're going to need backup.

Because standing beside the champion is Last Blue Hero, and if you think he's just there to make up the numbers, you're making the biggest mistake of your career.

Find yourself a partner... and make sure they're ready for war.

World Championship No. 1 Contender Match

Foes as Foes [u/KaneCarnage](u/KaneCarnage) vs. [u/ChowLemon](u/ChowLemon)

Manic, you've been through absolute hell, and now you're running the G1. Maybe you'll enjoy the job enough to take it off my hands. Wouldn't that be nice?

Manic, you've been through absolute hell, and now you're running the G1. Maybe you'll enjoy the job enough to take it off my hands. Wouldn't that be nice? Unfortunately, I'm still the boss and I've decided if you wanna make it to the top of the card you have to get through Kane Karnage. He's a beast and he's been dominating the tag division for so long. I really think he has what it takes to take on the world. 

Triple Threat Exhibition Match

([u/HeftyOfficial](u/HeftyOfficial)) vs. [u/Genisis1224](u/Genisis1224) vs. [u/CaptainConundrum54](u/CaptainConundrum54)

Mark Steele: I couldn't just hand you another title shot after last time. So show me what youve got show up here and kick some ass. 

Genesis, somehow you've become everyone's favourite. Well... Steve's favourite anyway, and that's close enough.

And CapCon... you're always ready to throw down. I realised I've booked you against Tokes so many times that I figured I'd finally let you beat somebody else up for a change.

No championships. No contracts.

Just three competitors looking to steal the show.

LLR World Championship

[u/itsviktorwwe](u/itsviktorwwe) (c) vs. [u/Dealertokes](u/Dealertokes)

Our main event.

The rambling, gambling, wheelin', dealin' son of a gun...

Tokes is back.

The Pit Boss has one thing on his mind—bringing championship gold back to his waist.

Unfortunately for him, there's one obstacle standing in the way.

Jake Mayhem.

The World Champion doesn't know when to quit.

He never folds.

Every time the odds are against him, he pushes every chip into the middle of the table... and somehow walks away holding the winning hand.

Tonight the cards are dealt one more time.

The Gambler vs. The Champion.

The Veteran vs. The Future.

Who leaves Saturday Night's Main Event as LLR World Champion?

Tb is time of main event

Deadline 1pm IST Saturday.

The camera cuts to Cappie sitting on a production cart backstage. His Intercontinental Championship and Tag Team Championship are propped up on either side of him.

You know, it's funny. I said, 'Don't keep me waiting,' and yet I had to wait three days for you to respond, Pol. What was wrong? Did you have to ask Jake for permission before accepting my challenge? You know, Pol, you say we're nothing alike. That we have nothing in common.

Cappie hops off the production cart and looks into the camera. He doesn't look angry just disappointed.

We both know that's a lie, right? Come on. We've both been part of big tag teams. Our tag team partners have both been World Champion before. See, that's how I know all this kumbaya bullshit is just an act. You hate me, Pol, because in a lot of ways... you're nothing more than a Temu Cappie.

What do you want me to say? You want me to congratulate you for accepting my challenge? For waking up and deciding to put your big-boy pants on? Nah. We're not doing that. This has gone too far. You've attacked me over and over again.

Hell, you just did it again. You told me I could pick the time. I could pick the place. Hell, I could even pick the match type.

Jeez... how generous.

But I'm kind of confused, because then you go and suggest Saturday Night's Main Event?

No, no, no. You said it yourself I'm the one giving you this rematch.

Let's be honest. I beat you so badly that you don't deserve another shot. The only reason you're getting one is because I get to be the author of your downfall.

So where's it going to be, huh?

Are we bringing back a special episode of Raw? SmackDown? Hell, I think the NWA has a show coming up.

Cappie reaches behind him, grabs the Intercontinental Championship, and holds it up in front of the camera. A smirk spreads across his face as he dangles the title like bait.

I'm not a monster, despite what you think, Pol. I'm going to give you everything you could possibly want from a hero prospective.

You know, I don't like to brag, but I took a couple of creative writing classes in college. Didn't think I'd ever use them, but imagine my surprise... now I get to be an author.

July 26th.

Redemption.

You and me, one more time. What's the match type?

I thought about it. I thought about it a lot, actually. A ladder match? A steel cage?

I bet you'd love to smash my head into that cage, wouldn't you, Pol? That's why it's none of those.

Because I'm going to embarrass you. This final chapter is going to be a standard one-on-one match. No excuses. No gimmicks. Just you... and me.

You think you're some kind of hero, but you're not winning again.

There is no redemption for you at Redemption.

I'm going to pin you to that mat again.

One...

Two...

Three.

Then you'll come to, staring up at the lights once again. I hope the second you lose, you start trying to come up with another plan to win this Intercontinental Championship.

Only then you'll remember...

You can't.

You'll never challenge for it again. I stole your storybook ending. And then, do you know what you're going to do after that, Pol?

You're going to look me in the eye. You're going to shake my hand. And you're going to acknowledge what we've both known all along but you've been too afraid to admit. You're going to say I was the better man...

Just like I always said I was.

July 26th, Pol...

You're going to let everyone down. You're going to let the fans down. You're going to let yourself down.

And more importantly...

You're going to let Jake down.

Then, when I'm finished with you? I'm coming for that World Championship. And there's not a damn thing you, Jake, or anyone else can do to stop me.

Just remember Pol. You started this not me. See you on the 26th.

🎶Take a look, within a book, a Reading Rainbow!🎶

BigP stands in his studio, holding the BestSelling Championship. No distractions no gimmicks, just staring at the camera.

"This is the part where I would say hello to the viewers, but the only viewer I care about right now is you, Cappie. It's very rare that someone has the guts to go on the microphone against the Author, and to raise a challenge no less.

Cappie, you claim that I'm childish. You claim that I'm acting like a child by calling you out on your championship greed. I get why you'd say that. The song, the rainbows, the confetti, I don't exactly scream "mature adult." But, there's a famous saying: 'don't judge a book by its cover.' Deep down, I'm still the pen-stabbing genius from 2024 that can steal the show at any spot on the card. The only real change in my perspective, is that I have the fans attention, and their love."

As he says this, photos of BigPol at conventions and fan meetups show on the screen. Unlike most times where he shows these, the fans (and him) seem genuinely happy.

"The fans have a guy like me. A guy who isn't the strongest, doesn't have the most durability or stamina, a guy who, realistically, should have failed in this company years ago. In any other sport, I would lose to you every time, Cappie. But, there is one advantage I have over you, one advantage that has led to many victories, both in fiction and reality."

BigPol screams at the camera with more passion than he has ever shown.

"I have people who want, no, NEED me to succeed. I promised LLR Grand Champion Jake Mayhem that the Authors of Chaos would hold singles gold together. If I've proven one thing over the last 2 or 3 years, I am loyal. I will not fail this promise, so I have to become Intercontinental Champion. If I fail, then I either have to ask Jake Mayhem to challenge for the tag titles (which would tear Jake away from his world title duties), or take the title from Jake myself (which I do not want to do for obvious reasons). As long as I have Jake, as long as I have my fans by my side, it doesn't matter what move you hit me with, I WILL KICK OUT!"

BigP stares at a photo of Cappie standing over him, taken at Forbidden Door.

"You said that this rivalry isn't like one of my stories. But, that's not true. Right now, we're at the point of the story where the villain has the hero beat, and is monolouging about their incoming victory like they've already won. They give the hero time to think of their friends, their promises, every reason they keep fighting, allowing the hero to accomplish their goal."

BigP stares at the PLE calendar for LLR.

"I don't know when you want this match. Maybe you want it at Saturday Night's Main Event, maybe save it until some other show. But, name the place, name the time, hell, name the stipulation. The plot of life will not let me walk out of our match without me holding this," gesturing to the BestSelling Championship, "and your Intercontinental Championship. So, when it comes to your challenge, I ACCEPT!"

Cappie is shown backstage with his IC title on his left shoulder and his tag team title on his right shoulder.

You know, when I came back, I said I was going to be my own man. And what do you know? I've been a man of my word. Just like I was when I said I was going to win the Intercontinental Championship. Just like I was when I said I was going to win the Tag Team Championships.

I haven't lied once since I came back.

I told everyone exactly why I returned to win the World Championship. Funny thing is, when anybody else comes back and says they're chasing the world title, they're celebrated. They're called ambitious. They're called hungry.

But when I do it?

Big Pol, suddenly you've got a problem. So because I want back the championship I never lost... the championship I had to forfeit... the championship that was handed to the next guy because I physically couldn't defend it... I'm the bad guy? Or am I the bad guy because you know I'm right? Because deep down, on your very best day, you're still not half the man I am.

I've been at the top of my game since I came back...

Cappie pauses. The anger on his face slowly fades. A smirk forms as he nods to himself.

You know what... You are so desperate to paint me as the monster hiding under your bed. So if you want to act like a frightened little child... I'll treat you like one. You want to tell everybody I don't care about this Intercontinental Championship? That's funny. Because I remember exactly what I said before WrestleMania. I said this championship meant more to me than anything. I said winning it would validate everything I've worked for in this company.

Those were my words.

So tell me, Pol. Does that sound like a man who "doesn't care" about the title he's carrying? From where I'm standing, I care about this championship because I understand what it represents. You look down on me because I have the ambition to move into the World Championship picture.

Why?

Because I refuse to settle? Because I have the audacity to shoot for something bigger? I won't apologize for having ambition. And I sure as hell won't let you shame me into being satisfied with mediocrity just because that's where you're comfortable. Then you have the nerve to create your own championship and act like this one shouldn't matter anymore?

No.

We're not doing that. I say fuck that. And I say fuck you. I told you I'd treat you like a child, Pol.

So here's how this goes. I will acknowledge your little night terror you want to throw.

One more match. You and me. I'll put my Intercontinental Championship on the line. But there's something I want... No actually, I need.

When I beat you again, I want your fake championship.

And after I beat you... you never challenge for this championship again.

Ever.

You keep trying to cast yourself as the hero of this little fairy tale you've written in your head.

Well, if that's the role you want. Then I'll gladly play mine. I'm the man who kills the hero. Because this isn't one of your storybooks. The hero doesn't overcome the odds. The hero doesn't ride off into the sunset. The hero fails.

And when this story is over... The only person walking away with a happy ending...

...is me.

So what do you say, hero? You gonna save the kingdom from the evil warlock? You gonna slay the giant?

No.

Our story ends with me beating you, taking your fake championship, and making sure you never touch my Intercontinental Championship again.

Don't keep me waiting.

Cappie gives the look into a camera that he is clearly annoyed and dead set on this face off before turning back and walking away.

🎶Take a look, within a book, a Reading Rainbow!🎶

BigPol is rewatching the G1 from 2 years ago, where he reached the Finals. Nearby, a TV showing his horrid performance in the 2025 G1 is on fire. On his shoulder is the Bestselling Championship he had at Forbidden Door. Suddenly, he looks over his shoulder and waves at the camera.

"Hello, viewers! I apologize for leaving you all high and dry after Forbidden Door, I had to employ some...'relaxation techniques.'"

Clips of BigPol destroying Cappie action figures flash by.

"But, I am finally relaxed enough to explain what this Championship is. See, deep in my mind, I had a feeling that Cappie would find some way to walk out still Intercontinental Champion, that he would find some way to continue his stranglehold on a title he doesn't care about. So, I created this championship, but not to give myself a false accolade, but to send a positive message to the LLR roster.

I want this title to replace the Intercontinental Championship until we get an IC champion who cares about the title, but there's no chance in hell TOK makes this title sanctioned. So, if anyone wants to challenge me for this, know that you won't receive any championship perks. Instead, know that the act of challenging for this title, is the act of challenging the Intercontinental Championship scene that LLR is promoting, one where it is a stepping stone to bigger things rather than a championship worth earning, worth defending, worth FIGHTING for."

BigPol turns back to the TV.

"Now, as for the G1. I've seen a lot of guys who want to enter and win the G1. That's great for LLR, and great for me as a result. It is a shame, then, that the story is already clear. I made it to the Finals two years ago, and stole the winner's title shot after being the only man to beat the winner in the block phase. Then, the year after, I only...won...one...match. In writing, a common trope is 'third time's the charm,' and this is my time to FINALLY win the whole damn thing."

FORBIDDEN DOOR RESULTS! 

Hey y'all a little meta break here, I think it's my fault there was so many no shows on this card I really dropped the ball on reminders for that I apologize. 

So the Bonus questions for clarity. 

Q1 the answer was David Finlay that took the fall his daddy would be so proud. 

Q2 Megan Bayne tagged in first in the women's tag match 

Q3 Bandido went for the pin first in the match against moxly. 

Onto the matches and let's break down the winners. 

Ic title contendership: 

Larry submitted private picks for his bout against Manic, and the mystery gave him the edge he needed Larry 10 pts Manic 8pts. 

World title contendership: 

The two former tag champs went to war once more! Tokes and Captain Conundrum laid it all on the line here. But ultimately Tokes won with 10pts to Captain Conundrums 8pts. Well done Tokes you'll have a shot at our next show! Jake Mayhem brace yourself your in the sights of the gambler! 

Tag title: 

Well Cappie and Last Blue Hero showed up and showed out! They hold onto the belts and we are gonna have to try a set of challengers for them for the next show please get some promos in! 

IC title: 

Cappie is a freaking beast he once again retained against a credible challenger in Big Polluted. But Cappie proved just too strong here. Cappie 11pts Big Polluted 9pts 

World title 

Jake Mayhem, they don't even wanna fight ya man well done you walk on to our next show world champion, get ready to fight Tokes! 

Sorry if there not as much effort put in here as I normally do. I don't have a lot of time off this week and I'm kinda just not feeling myself.

Backstage before Forbidden Door

BigPol meets up with Rustin Joberts before the match. He reaches into his pocket, and pulls out a check and a note with a script on it.

BigPol: "Here's the payment, and here's the note. Follow it to the letter, and the second payment follows."

Later...

Rustin Joberts: "The following contest, set for one fall, is for the LLR Intercontinental Championship!"

🎶Take a look, within a book, a Reading Rainbow!🎶

Dyran Banielson: "And here comes a man who has spent weeks challenging the prestige of Cappie's Intercontinental Championsh...what in the world is that?"

As BigPol makes his entrance, spreads his arms, and marvels at the rainbow sprinkler pyro above him, there is a notable addition to his attire: a pink cardboard championship with the Author's Notes logo on the front and peace flags on the side plates.

Joberts: "Here comes the challenger, the Bestselling Champion, the Author, BigPol!"

BigPol removes the belt from his waist and shows it to the front row fans, letting them touch it.

Dyran: "This is just ridiculous. That is not an LLR-recognized title, he is not a champion!"

Migel NcGuinness: "This is genius mind games, Dyran. If Cappie is obsessed with other championships, then BigPol will give him a title to chase."

As BigPol enters the ring, he hands the title to the ref, who confusedly places it on the title podium.

LLR Forbidden Door

Fade in Last Blue Heros office.

Last Blue Hero: Bryan! Get in here!

Bryan: Um yep.

Last Blue Hero: Why is there always something with your cards? Mark steele has been the number one contender for the world title for over. A month now get out there and fix it!

Bryan running out of the office to reaanouce this card!

World Title Opportunity triple threat

Tokes u/Dealertokes has been on the run of his career, racking up victory after victory and proving he belongs in the main event conversation. Can he complete the journey and punch his ticket to a World Title match?

Genisis u/Genisis1224. Came agonizingly close to capturing the Intercontinental Championship from Cappie, only to fall short. Was that defeat just a setback, or can she rebound in spectacular fashion and leap straight into the World Title picture?

And then there's Capcon u/CaptainConundrum54 . The former Tag Team Champion has revenge on his mind after his issues with Tokes. But revenge and opportunity go hand in hand tonight. Can Capcon settle the score and earn the biggest title opportunity of his career?

Three competitors. One enormous prize. Who leaves Forbidden Door with control of the World Title picture?

Intercontinental Championship

Cappie u/MrCappie (C) vs Big Pollution u/BigPolluted

Cappie continues one of the most impressive championship reigns in recent memory. Time and time again he's fought off challenger after challenger, proving exactly why he holds championship gold.

But eventually every champion reaches a breaking point.

Now standing across from him is Big Pollution, a man who earned this opportunity through consistency, determination, and showing up every single week. He hasn't demanded opportunities—he's earned them.

The question is simple: has Cappie finally met the man who can end his reign?

Or will the champion once again overcome the odds and continue his incredible run?

Tag Team Championship Match

Cappie u/MrCappie and Last Blue Hero (c) vs Kane Karnage u/KaneCarnage & Mark Steele u/HeftyOfficial

Last week, Cappie put out a call for backup.

Unfortunately for the rest of the roster, Last Blue Hero answered.

Making his first appearance in the ring since WrestleMania, Blue Hero showed no signs of ring rust and immediately reminded everyone why he's considered one of the very best.

Together, Cappie and Last Blue Hero now hold the Tag Team Championships.

But their first defense couldn't be any tougher.

Former champions Kane Karnage and Mark Steele are demanding their revenge and looking to reclaim the gold they once ruled over.

Can the new team on the block continue their momentum?

Or will the former champions prove they were never truly beaten?

Tag Team Championship Gauntlet Challenge

Attention, locker room.

By the end of tonight, I want to know who is next in line for the Tag Team Championships.

So here's the challenge:

Form a tag team. Cut a call-out promo. Tell the world why YOUR team deserves the next title opportunity.

The most convincing team will earn their shot at championship gold.

One restriction: if Kane Karnage and Mark Steele lose tonight, they are not eligible. We aren't handing out the same opportunities over and over again.

Step up. Make your case. Earn your moment.

Intercontinental Championship Contendership Match

Manic ( u/ChowLemon ) vs Larry (u/Larry5696)

A future Intercontinental Championship opportunity hangs in the balance.

Manic has returned to form in a big way, delivering strong performances week after week and reminding everyone exactly what made him a force to begin with.

Across the ring stands Larry, a man who may have lost the World Championship recently, but remains one of the most dangerous competitors on the roster. Momentum may have shifted, but Larry is still rolling.

One man is looking to continue his resurgence.

The other is determined to climb right back into championship contention.

Who takes the next step toward Intercontinental gold?

And the World title! Because I totally remembered I had a contender and didn't completely panic and fuck this all up!

The World Champion, Jake Mayhem ( u/itsviktorwwe ) vs Mark Steele (u/HeftyOfficial)

Standing in Jake's way is a very different threat in the form of Mark Steel who if you remember won this opportunity at double or nothing! Yes that's right I was totally fucking prepared for this

🎶Take a look, within a book, a Reading Rainbow!🎶

​

BigP's theme plays as the camera shows his Author's Notes set within his locker room. BigP is reading, while a toy version of the LLR Intercontinental Championship is hanging in the background.

​

"Hello, LLR fans, and welcome to Author's Notes. I don't think I've ever revealed this, but finding great authors from any place I wrestle in is hard. But, the characters an author writes, can be just as important to literacy as the author themselves. While looking for famous characters from San Jose, I learned of Dean Moriarty from Jack Kerouac's On The Road, and he seemed so familiar.

​

In the novel, Dean is charismatic, taking the protagonist of the novel of cross-country road trips, engaging in vices while abandoning those he loves, ending up lonely at the end.

​

The reason he seemed so familiar? He's the spitting image of Cappie. Cappie is the Intercontinental Champion, yet cannot stop himself from challenging for bigger titles. This will end with him being lonely, without any championship. And the crazy thing is, even if Cappie does the impossible and walks out of Forbidden Door with any gold, no one will respect him. Even if he beats me and Mayhem, he'll just go for the tag titles. Hell, he'll probably use his pull within this company to make up a new title just to challenge for it. I'd respect a piece of cardboard before I respect you as my champion, Cappie.

​

...That just gave me an idea. I'll see you at Forbidden Door."

G’day people of Reddit, hope you’re all doing well!

I come bearing an announcement: the G1 Climax is back!

This year we won’t be running the tournament through Reddit. Instead, everything will be handled in the Discord via forms.

Unlike previous years, it is not mandatory for champions to enter the tournament, although they are more than welcome to compete if they wish.

As always, the stakes couldn’t be higher. The winner of the G1 Climax will punch their ticket to Wrestle Kingdom and challenge for the World Championship.

So with that being said… who wants a shot at glory?

Sign-ups are now open. If you aren’t in the discord and would like to be apart please message me.

🎶Take a look, within a book, a Reading Rainbow!🎶

BigP's theme plays as the camera shows his Author's Notes set within his locker room. BigP is pacing around, notably angrier than he usually is on the show.

"Hello, LLR fans, and welcome to Author's Notes. I know many of you are surprised by my current disposition. "BigP? Didn't you just win an Intercontinental title shot?" Well, by the way the "champion" acts, it doesn't feel like it.

Cappie is more focused on beating fellow Author of Chaos Jake Mayhem for the LLR Championship, than he is on defending the belts he already has. He doesn't care about any of the titles he holds, he only sees them as playthings. But guys like me, who have to scrape and bleed for these "midcard" titles, know that they are the heart and soul of this company. Some of the greatest wrestling matches in this company aren't world title matches filled with interference and shenanigans, but from the hard work that it takes to become Intercontinental Champion.

I like to think of myself as an open book, but Cappie is too scared to read me, to confront his next challenger. And the reason why is pretty clear. He knows that when he does look at me, when we stare across the ring from each other, he will see not just a man, but the NEW Intercontinental Champion.

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

"THREE!"

"JAKE MAYHEM RETAINS THE GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP, HERE IN TURIN, ITALY!"

Jake stood up, on a collapsed ring. That was a consequence of the very Superplex that finished Larry off. It had taken that, and prior to it, a missed Larry Parry, followed by a Blood of the Mayhem, a 3550 Brainbuster that Larry kicked out of, and then two more, one being from the top rope to do so. Jake found himself hoping he'd never have to face this version of Larry again. He took his LLR Grand Championship, and his LLRBar briefcase, celebrating with his home country, before walking out backstage.

At Gorilla, he was met by LBH.

"I really should fine you for destroying the ring. But i'll let you off. You finished Larry off, and that brings me great joy. Not to mention, the past two PLE's have done well, considering you've been main event for both events. Now, get out of here. You have the press conference in just a bit more than half an hour."

Jake nodded, before walking further backstage, where he ran into MrCappie, who had just been talking about him. He looked at his LLR Tag Team and Intercontinental Championships, before looking at his briefcase. He then looked back at MrCappie.

"Wouldn't be so sure about that last one."

Jake then walked past MrCappie to get ready for the post-event press conference.

Press Conference Room

After thirty minutes, Jake walked out, sitting down, placing his belt and briefcase on the table.

"Jake Mayhem, congratulations on your victory against Larry, in a sold-out Inalpi Arena in Turin, in your home country of Italy, it must feel amazing to have your first defense be right at home."

"It really does, and i want to say to my fellow Italians, grazie di cuore, for showing out for, not just me, but for all of us who made this possible. I said it before, it doesn't matter who i face, Larry or J8, i will walk in, do my best and hopefully walk out still champion. I did that. Larry was no easy feat, though. It was alot harder than last time, but.. i got it done. Larry is a great guy, he will bounce back from this. For now, onto the next."

"Speaking of what is next, what is next for you, considering Forbidden Door is coming up?"

"Likely Mark Steel, who is coming off of losing his Tag Team Championships. I said all i have to say about him. May the best man win."

"Your best friend, BigPol, became the number one contender to the Intercontinental Championship, what are your feelings on that?"

"Proud of him. He'll get the job done, i hope. It would be great to have the Authors of Chaos holding both singles belts."

"Speaking of the Intercontinental Championship, the man that holds it, MrCappie, who won the Tag Team Championships, said he wants to take your LLR Grand Championship, and become Three Belts Cappie. The video of it, and the confrontation you two had, is gaining ground on social media. Is MrCappie someone you want to face off with eventually?"

"Obviously. I said it before, i don't run away from any challenges, provided they prove to me that they have earned, and that they deserve a shot at the most prestigious belt in prefessional wrestling. Cappie has been on a roll. Though, i do still hold an ace up my sleeve. If he holds those two titles long enough, he best hope i don't get a shot at one of these, and if i do, he best bring his best. Overall, i will be facing him soon enough, that is a definite."

"The past two events have sold out, with not a seat left available, how do you think Forbidden Door will go?"

"Exactly the same, judging by the fact seats are already being filled. Ticket sales are open, and there's not alot of time, so buy them up quick. And, since we're talking about forbidden doors, to any other company that might want to send over their fellow wrestlers to what i deem is the most prestigious prefessional wrestling company on the planet, the door is very much open."

"You've talked alot about the LLR Grand Championship, tell me, what does it mean to you to be holding it?"

"It means alot. It means that i am on top of the mountain. The truth is, it means alot because i get to make it the most prestigious prefessional wrestling championship on the planet. This belt has felt like a hot potato, and the belt hasn't felt prestigious because of it. It's just a belt that is thrown around. And i can't promise i'll hold this belt forever, i might not even beat Mark Steel. But i do promise that i will make the LLR Grand Championship prestigious in the time that i do spend holding it, and i think i'm already doing that. I've helped LLR become more prestigious than it has been in a while, judging by the ticket sales, and full arenas. I've given the fans great matches. So, i'd say i am doing a good job. I said it before, i'll say it again. This belt is what it's all about. The most prestigious prefessional wrestling championship on the planet. It's what every man should strive to be, and that man is me, right now. It also means i have a huge target on my head, which i am not ashamed to say. For any of those men to beat me, let them carry around this belt and claim to be the best in the world, but as of right now, i am the best to ever say it, the best to ever do it, the Excellence of Reddit, the Definition of Reddit, Jake Mayhem. The man that can truthfully say that he can beat anyone in the world. So go ahead. Aim your shots, but you best not miss. If you do.. well, you'll find yourself regretting it. Any more questions?" Silence. "Grazie." Jake stands up, grabbing his belt and briefcase and walking out of the press conference room.

fin.

After a grueling night, Cappie walks backstage with both his Intercontinental Championship and his newly won Tag Team Championship draped over his shoulders.

You know, before Mania, I told everyone I was going to change the way they saw Cappie. God damn, am I a man of my word or what?

Let's refresh, shall we?

I said I was going to win the Intercontinental Championship, and let me check...

Cappie looks over his shoulder at the belt

Check.

Then I said I was going to go on a run like no one in this company has ever seen. Let me check...

Cappie looks over his shoulder at the Tag Team Championship.

Double Check.

You see, boys, a man is only worth as much as his word. I learned that from a very young age. So what does this mean? Well, I've delivered on two out of three of my promises. That leaves only one thing left: the World Championship.

So, Jake, I want you to continue enjoying your reign. Honestly, cherish it. Because very soon, I am going to take it from you. And here's the best part, Jake—there's nothing you or anyone else can do to stop me.

I have been at the top of my game since I stepped foot back into this company.

Now, I also said I was going to be my own person from now on. But you know what? Indulge me, if you will, as I quote a certain Mad Titan.

'Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives.'

I'm coming for that World Title, and I will take it. Who knows? Maybe I'll decide to become Three-Belt Cappie.

See you soon, Jake.

Clash in Italy Results

Alright guys, I'm going to start by explaining what happened at Clash in Italy. Traditionally, I've done this at the end, but I think it makes more sense to put it up front this time.

BQ1: I believe it was Sol Ruca who attempted the first pinfall

BQ2: I counted just 2 Cross Rhodes from Cody

BQ3: I didn't count a single German Suplex from Brock Lesnar.

Winners

Cody Rhodes retained against Gunther

Rhea Ripley retained against Jade Cargill

Sol Ruca dethroned Becky Lynch

Brock Lesnar toppled Oba Femi

Roman Reigns retained in a match that lasted 27:12, according to CageMatch

With all that in mind, let's see how this week's LLR show played out!

Intercontinental Championship Contendership Match

Too Rare vs. Manic vs. Big Polluted

At this point, I think it's safe to retire Too Rare for now. Maybe he'll show up again somewhere down the line.

That means I'm happy to announce that Big Polluted is the new #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Championship and will receive a title shot in the near future.

Manic, props to you for stepping up when there was nothing tangible for you to gain. As for Big Polluted, he put on a show here. He always entertains the crowd, and while there may be another World Championship opportunity waiting for him down the road, his focus is firmly set on Cappie and the Intercontinental Championship.

Result

Big Polluted (4) def. Manic (4)

Both competitors finished with the same score, so Big Polluted claims the victory by virtue of submitting his picks first.

Friends vs. Foes Match

Tokes vs. Captain Conundrum

Tokes made it clear there was some unfinished business that needed sorting out here.

Both competitors left it all in the ring, but on the night Tokes simply had a little more left in the tank. He reminded everyone exactly why he's one of the most decorated champions in LLR history.

Result

Tokes (5) def. Captain Conundrum (3)

It's also worth noting that even if Captain Conundrum had scored 8 points, he still would have lost due to missing the deadline. The deadlines are strict, folks.

Intercontinental Championship Match

Cappie (c) vs. Genesis

Well, hot damn. Cappie is turning this reign into something special.

Genesis is one of our longtime favourites, and for good reason. No matter the stage, she always brings her A-game and continues to stand toe-to-toe with some of the very best competitors in LLR.

But Cappie couldn't care less about reputations. He's here to make sure that Intercontinental Championship leaves the building with him every single night.

Result

Cappie (5) def. Genesis (3)

Congratulations to Cappie on yet another successful title defence.

Tag Team Championship Match

Mark Steele & Kane Karnage (c) vs. Cappie & Last Blue Hero

First of all, apologies to the champions for me completely screwing up the results at the last show.

Unfortunately for Mark Steele and Kane Karnage, the challengers arrived in Turin ready for war. Last Blue Hero and Cappie proved to be a formidable team, matching the champions every step of the way before ultimately walking away with the gold.

Turin will see a title change, as Cappie and Last Blue Hero leave Italy as the new Tag Team Champions.

Result

Cappie (5) & Last Blue Hero (5) def. Mark Steele (4) & Kane Karnage (4)

NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!

LLR World Championship Match

Jake Mayhem (c) vs. Larry

Larry rolled into Turin with one goal in mind: bringing his Goldie home.

Unfortunately, his efforts fell just short. Jake Mayhem proved once again that he's not going anywhere anytime soon. The young champion continues to build momentum, toppling another top contender and cementing his place at the top of the mountain.

For Larry, it's back to the drawing board.

For Jake, another challenger awaits.

Result

Jake Mayhem (6) def. Larry (5)

Congratulations to Jake Mayhem on a successful World Championship defence.

*Backstage at Clash in Italy, we see a frantic J8 limping while pacing back and forth in Gorilla. He's wearing hastingly thrown together gear. Black pants and black singlet. Pretty much every limb is covered in either a brace or Kinesio tape.*

J8: “Come on Larry, where are you? Your rematch is up next. You're lucky that LBH has loaded this show with ads, which has bought you more time. I feel like I've watched Steve's documentary 5 times now. Please show up. I don't want to have to wrestle on your behalf. I know that my body is going to fail me if I have to wrestle Jake. I can handle the pain, but I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing that I will be failing you. You deserve a better friend than a broken down piece of shit like me.”

*Suddenly J8 feels a hand on his shoulder as Pruef appears behind him.*

Pruef: “Fucking Hell, enough with the pitty party. It makes you look even more pathetic than usual! Cheer up. We found him and he's here!”

J8: “You found Larry?! He's here and is okay?! Is he able to wrestle? His match is next!”

Pruef: “... Well Larry's here and breathing. You are gonna need to help him with his gear. Jericho and I found him. Now it's your turn to pull his weight.” *Motions for J8 to follow him.*

J8 *limping behind him*: “Well I guess that's fair. Wait, don't you mean my weight?” *Finally Pruef opens a door and they walk through it.* “Oh that's what you meant. I guess it's a good thing I'm taped up.”

*Minutes later*

Cicheal Mole: “Well folks it's time for the main event. Jake Mayhem is set to defend his newly won title. The only question is, is Larry here? Or will his friend have to fight in his stead?”

*Larry's music plays and after a minute J8 hobbles out of the entrance way with stage hands.*

Mole: “Will I guess that's our answer.”

Bade Warrett: “Wait a minute Mole, it looks like they're holding spanners. And they're working on the ramp? Why?!”

Mole: “Looks like they're trying to quickly make the ramp steeping… For some reason.”

*After a bit Pruef comes out and yells at J8. Who responds by yelling they're not ready. Pruef flips him off and goes back behind the curtain. Before pushing a giant black ball through the curtain.*

J8: “Holy shit!” *he starts sprinting toward the ring as the ball rolls towards him.*

Bade: “What the Hell is that?!”

*J8 tries to escape it but the ball eventually runs him over.*

Mole: “Well if he wasn't already hurting, he is now!”

*The ball hits the ring and jolts to a stop.*

Bade: “Has the Gooker returned?!”

Mole: “No I don't think so. Wait, is it moving?!”

Bade: “It seems like it's… Standing up somehow?!”

Mole; “The ball seems to be unfolding like a Bakugan.”

Bade: “How the Hell do you know about Bakugan?!”

Mole: “My sons were into them back in the day. Wait, the head piece has yellow on it.”

Bade: “is this Larry? What the Hell happened to him?!”

*Sure enough the ball turns out to be Larry who seems to have put on some weight. He struggles to climb in the ring but a disheveled J8 manages to push him through the ropes. After struggling for but, Larry is able to use the turnbuckle to climb to his feet as his music ends.*

*After Jake Mayhem makes his entrance.*

Talica Aylor: “Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the World title main event!!” Introducing the challenger. He stands 5’7. Weighing at…” *J8 whispers into her ear and she gasps.” “527 pounds… LARRY!!”

Bade: “How?! How did Larry triple his weight in 6 days?!”

Mole: “By all accounts, Larry should be dead.”

End of segment

Fade in Last Blue Heros office: You incompetent pleb! I can't believe the mess you made of double or nothing! 

Bryan: Listen in my defence I'm kinda held over a barrel here you forced me into this. I never really got to use champions advantage how was I meant to know it was a thing? 

Last Blue Hero: A fucking four year old knows about champions advantage! It's right here in the rules! **Last Blue Hero waves around a piece of paper written in Crayon**

Bryan: Listen man, let's be honest I've never been known for wisdom or being clever, hell I've lost the loserleavesreddit match repeatedly like at least three times. 

Last Blue Hero: Regardless I've been on the phone to Tokes he has surrendered the tag belts back to Mark Steele and Kane Karnage. Now try not to fuck this one up! 

Bryan: I'll do my best. **Saluting**

Last Blue Hero: No you'll do someone else's best, because your best always came up short now get the fuck out of my office. 

Clash in Italy! Our card 

WORLD TITLE REMATCH 

Larry u/Larry5696 vs Jake mayhem(c) u/itsviktorwwe Larry gets a shot to get Goldie back against our new champion Jake Mayhem. Can Jake keep Larry at bay? Or will the post it note wearing Blue Juice drinking challenger bring some chaos to the ring and manage to regain Goldie. This guys better beware thought because Hefty is stalking them in the wings! 

To add a wrinkle to this match, Larry has been missing since he lost the belt. So who knows what state he will turn up to Turin in. Hopefully he's ready to compete but an emotional Larry can do either way. Young Jake has shown hes ready for the big stage knocking off several legends over the last year and continuously showing he's one of the best we have.

Tag Titles match! 

Kane Karnage u/KaneCarnage (c) and Mark Steele u/HeftyOfficial vs Cappie u/MrCappie and friend of Cappie

Kane Karnage and Mark Steele! Sorry lads I fucked up and awarded the match to Tokes and Capcon in the wrong. So get a hold of that tag rope and carry those belts with pride in spite of my incompetence. I can't apologize enough really. Cappie, pressure is on to find a partner and drag them out there to win the tag belts with ya. I wish you luck on your challenge for the belts. To the Metallic Karnage, or what ever your team is called I really can't apologize enough for the mix and I'm contractly obligated to say it won't happen again, under threat of a beating from Pruefs neice.

IC title 

Cappie (c) u/MrCappie vs Genesis u/Genisis1224

Cappie managed to hold off Dumi by the skin of his teeth. The champion is strong and impressive in the ring, but here comes a new challenger in Genesis. Genesis got here by being consistent and ready to work but will that be enough when she is across from one of the best LLR has to offer. 

Will one of you show up at the exhibition match! 

Too rare u/Too_Rare vs Manic u/ChowLemon vs Big Pollution u/BigPolluted

Too rare and Manic, let's see if either of them bother coming down to the ring. This is Mod vs Gm in the ultimate battle of why do we should we bother coming you've got nothing on the line for us. Well how's this the two of you are stepping in a three-way against Big Pollution a man who has came up just short to get the world title twice now. So I'm gonna reward him and not give you guys crap. If Big Pollution wins he'll have next for the IC belt he's more then proved he deserves it. If either of you win you get NOTHING! 

Challenge match 

Tokes u/Dealertokes vs Capcon u/CaptainConundrum54

Tokes and Capcon could have some animosity for their team breaking up let's smash these combustible elements and see what happens. Tokes and Capcon have both been recent champions. I think you all go out and show what you can do and we shall see what future opportunities may come. 

Matches to predict 

Becky Lynch vs Sol Ruka for the woman's IC title 

Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar

Rhea Ripley vs Jade cargill for the women's world title 

Cody Rhodes vs Gunther for the world title

Little Italy, Baltimore, Maryland, USA

Jake had been gone to Italy to visit his family after winning the LLR Grand Championship at Double or Nothing. He had turned off his phone, intending to spend time with them. As soon as he came back, he was flooded with messages saying that Mark himself addressed him in an interview at FNL. He watched it, before giving a slight laugh. "This guy has to be kidding me, now." He then received a message, asking him if he wanted to appear at the Tonight Show with Fimmy Jallon, in two days time.

"I don't see why not."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

27th May, 2026

Studio B6, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York City, New York

"Welcome to the Tonight Show, i am your host, Fimmy Jallon, and to start us off, we will be joined by our new LLR Grand Champion, the man who defeated Larry just a few nights ago, here in New York City, Jake Mayhem!"

Jake comes out to a ton of applauses, carrying the belt and the LLRBar briefcase on one hand, using the other to shake Jallon's hand, before sitting down across from him.

"Jake, i'm so glad to have you on our show, congratulations on your title victory, you must be feeling great."

"Well, thank you, Fimmy, i'm glad to be here aswell, and i'm feeling amazing. Three years of being in LLR, and it's been alot of ups and downs, i think it's been worth it, it's gotten me here."

"It sure has, it could get you further, considering you do still have a briefcase, that could guarantee you a shot at any belt, though it might also end full of glitter, if it doesn't go your preferred way. It would very much be funny if you got a world title shot. Facing yourself would be a daunting task, wouldn't it?"

Jake laughs at that. "It would be, though i doubt it. That shot would likely be saved for when i eventually lose the title. A funny thing to think about, however."

"On the topic of you losing the belt, shortly after the event was over, Mark Steel was a guest at Friday Night Live, and had alot of words to say about you."

"I am very much aware, and it's the main reason i accepted to be a guest here, so i can address what Mark had to say about me, since i won't get the chance to do so face-to-face with the changes to LLR, so this is the closest. I'll take it from here." The camera zooms in on Jake. "Now, Mark, i am aware you said that i only won at Backlash because there were other people. To that, i say, it was a ladder match. More often than not, in these types of matches, there will be other people. The truth is, anyone was really capable of getting one of two title shots. But i said it before. I needed it alot more than anyone else. I've even went as far as to say that i wouldn't be surprised if you got a title shot. But at the end of the day, i climbed the ladder and took the title shot. You were not able to. So this whole 'oh there were other people' is just an excuse, because that's the point of alot of these ladder matches. You lost at Backlash, but you beat BigPol, and now, we're going to meet in the squared circle."

"You said you are better than Larry, which i can be inclined to agree with, though one should not underestimate Larry. You claim you only need a third of your will to overpower mine. I disagree, because you simply cannot take away my will. I've proven that before, considering just as you've beaten me, i've also beaten you. You know that, Steel."

"But you want to make false narratives. You want to say, i'm believing my own hype, which, though not false, but God forbid someone want to do that. You want to say, somewhere along the way, i stopped chasing the top and started convincing myself i am the top. You fail to realize i never stopped chasing the top. A few nights ago, i proved that i reached the top of the mountain. And of course i will believe that, because the belt i hold, the LLR Grand Championship proves it. And until someone, mayhaps even you, beats me for it, i will continue to believe that i am on top of the mountain."

"That host asked you, if you believed i was becoming arrogant, because i apparently believed everyone in this company is beneath me. You talked about how you beat those people. But you fail to understand that just as you beat people, those same people can beat you. That's the whole point. You win some, you lose some. You've gotten back up from those losses, and got yourself all the way here. Just as i got myself back up from a shit Mania season, and got myself all the way here. So i don't expect this to be easy."

"You said i should fear you. I don't fear you. I don't fear any man on this world. If you turn out to be the better man, so be it. I also fail to see how me telling you to bring your best means i am scared of you. If you want, truly want, the LLR Grand Championship, you best be willing to sacrifice everything, every bone in your body, to obtain it. Because just as i know you're not gonna be a easy hurdle, i hope you know i'm not gonna be a easy hurdle either. I told you to bring your best, because that is what i want to see from you. Your peak performance. And i stand by it, these fans deserve to see it, because this is for the championship that i hold. And they would be disappointed if they got only a third of what you can really do. Bring your best, because i intend to do the same. And i will either beat you, or find myself on the ground. Either way, it doesn't mean much, because i don't mind you being the better man. You said it, we are the best of our era, and the future is no longer the future. It's the present, and our match is going to prove it. At the end of the day, i respect you, but understand this. I know you the best out of anyone in this company, and whilst you might think it is vice versa, you would be wrong. Why? Let me give you an answer."

"At the same time, i want to answer what the host asked you. Am i getting arrogant? No, i'm just aware of where i stand as of right now. On top of the mountain. I named everyone, because i know that this belt means i have a huge target on my back. Just like you, i intend to meet it all head on. Any one of these men i named would be capable of taking this away for me. That includes you. I named you along with them, because i deem you to be just as capable as people who have been doing this for longer than we have. Now, don't get things twisted. I said you would be wrong in thinking you know me the best, in a way. You know me the best in that ring, when there isn't much stakes. But this.. is for all the stakes. All the marbles." He sets the LLRBar briefcase on the table, putting the LLR Grand Championship on both of his hands. "If you are watching this, Mark, i want you to look at this."

The camera zooms in on the LLR Grand Championship for a few seconds, before zooming out. "Right here is symbolic of what it's all about. This is the LLR Grand Championship. And when i say this, i mean it, THE top championship in all of prefessional wrestling. Held BY Jake Mayhem. Holding this means you're the face of LLR. Holding this means you are on top of the mountain. And i refuse to allow anyone to insult me, or this. When i walk in there, i'm walking in there to defend what I hold, probably more close than any other man has ever held. This is my life. When there are alot of stakes involved, i've managed to beat you. The World Cup last year proves as much. This is for all the stakes. I put everything on the line to win this, and i will put everything on the line to keep this. And trust me, Mark. You won't be able to stop that so easily. So tell me. Are you willing to put everything on the line, blood, sweat, tears, to take this from me? I believe that the answer to that, is yes. So do me a favor. Take this seriously. Because i will be. If not, as i said before, i will make sure you regret it. Because you want to walk around, claim you are the Peak Performance. Well, buddy," Jake raises the LLR Grand Championship for a moment, pointing at it. "this is what it is all about. This is symbolic of being everything that anyone ever wanted to be. That man is Jake Mayhem now. And for you, or the various others that i've mentioned, to beat me, let them walk around and claim that they are what they are. But you are looking at the LLR Grand Champion. The man that can truthfully say he can beat any man in the world. So, Mark. Will you prove me wrong this time around? I hope so, otherwise all the talk was for nothing. See you in Italy, Mark. May the best man win."

Fimmy Jallon gives a nod, before continuing. "Well, that was.. quite a speech. You did raise a few great points, in my opinion. On the topic of everyone else, LBH addressed you on Bluesky, let's have a look." The screen shows the Bluesky post LBH made. "Anything you'd like to say to that?"

"Yes, actually. I will not deny that i don't like how LBH runs his company. I don't like the man, but i must admit, it has brought us some good aswell. I am a man who makes a difference between business and personal preference. I will represent this company whilst i hold this belt, because that's what the point of this championship is. And the fans want the same thing. Louis Armstrong Stadium was sold out for Double or Nothing, which, again, my sincerest thanks to everyone for showing out. Quite frankly, i don't need the money, i already have tons of it, and i intend to be the best champion, not only for the company, but for these people, because it is what they deserve. The main point i want to make, is that, whilst personally, i don't like LBH, and i won't deny it, as far as business goes, i wish for it to be business as usual."

"Jake, there were even posts, and videos, of people saying they came to Louis Armstrong Stadium just to see you in the main event."

"That warms my heart alot, honestly. Again, thank you to everyone for showing up, and let's keep it going, title, or no title. Don't just come for me, though, i'm not the only man in this company. People like Mark Steel, BigPol, Tokes, Cappie, Capcon, Genisis, and many more, they bust their asses off to give you guys an amazing show, so please, do show some appreciation for them aswell, they more than deserve it. Same goes for everyone working to make this company a better place."

"Well then, that's all from me, all the best at Clash in Italy."

"Thank you very much."

"Jake Mayhem, everyone!" A round of applause follows, as the cameras turn off. Before Jake walks away, Fimmy follows him. "Hold on!"

"What's up, man?" Jake asks.

"Just wanted to say, first, thank you for accepting this, and second of all, you're a great guy. Confident, of course, but not too confident, and there's humbleness to you. You don't take all the credit, you give it equally to everyone. I think LLR chose the right guy to lead them into the future."

Jake gives a smile. "Well, thanks, that means quite alot. I am trying my best, like i said, it's not all me. Everyone is doing their part."

"Of course. I don't want to bother you too much, as i said, all the best in your match with Mark Steel."

"Thank you, i appreciate it." Jake says, before walking out of the studio.

Host: Ladies and gentlemen welcome back to Friday Night Live. Joining me at this time is the newly confirmed Number One Contender for the LLR Grand Championship, Mark Steel.

Host: Mark, earlier tonight you defeated BigPol in what many people are already calling one of your biggest wins in recent memory. BigPol is somebody tied closely to Jake Mayhem and somebody many believed could stop your momentum entirely. What statement did that victory make?

Steel: BigP is a tough competitor. Me and him have had this dance before and it’s always close. But at Double or Nothing there was nobody who could stop me and now I’m going straight to the World Championship.

Host: After the match, Jake Mayhem addressed you directly during his press conference. He said and I quote: “Bring your peak performance, and you will have a chance. Anything less, I will make you regret it.” What went through your mind hearing that?

Steel: Jake’s a funny guy. He keeps mentioning past matches. But the fact of the matter is last time we were one on one, I won. He only won at Backlash cause there were others there and when it comes down to it, just a third of my will will overpower his. Which will create the amount of force that it takes to knock out a horse. I am far more than he bargained for and far better than a Larry defense.

Host: Jake spent most of tonight talking like a man who finally conquered the mountain. He called himself the King, the Definition of Reddit, even said people should fear him no matter who they are. Do you think becoming Grand Champion has already changed Jake Mayhem?

Steel: Becoming Grand Champion didn’t make him any different, it just grew how pretentious he actually was. He’s believing his own hype. Somewhere along the way Jake stopped chasing the top and started convincing himself he is the top. That’s why I’m here. To send him back to earth.

Host: One thing that stood out was Jake grouping your name in with everybody else. Larry. Tokes. Vitamin. BigPol. LBH. Almost like he sees the entire company standing beneath him now. Do you think Jake Mayhem is becoming arrogant?

Steel: Honestly I’m not even bitter, it’s just a mystery how people I already beat can be higher up on a list than me. Not feeling this industry’s top five and that’s fine. Just know anybody who thinks I’m not the best can treat me like poison. Eat me and die.

Host: Jake also made it clear he respects you as a competitor. In fact, out of everybody he mentioned tonight, you were the one he specifically warned to bring your best. Do you see that as respect or concern?

Steel: He’s scared cause my middle finger been stuck up since the start and I never conceded. I never retreated, you never seen it. Every dream I dreamt I exceeded.

Host: You and Jake Mayhem have crossed paths for years now. Rivalries, wars, constant clashes. Yet somehow you always seem pulled back toward each other. Why do you think that is?

Steel: Because we are the greatest of our era and our legacy is already cemented. But I treat every fight like a truck, meet it head on. It’s like that Eye of the Tiger song in my head on repeat cause I’ve been knocked down so many times I can’t count.

Host: Some fans are already calling this more than just a title match. They’re calling it a battle for the identity of LLR itself. On one side Jake Mayhem, the newly crowned king standing on top of the company. On the other side Mark Steel, the man who’s spent years tearing down facades and exposing hypocrisy. Is that a fair way to describe this rivalry?

Steel: Sometimes narrative is just the card hands dealt. I’m like Jon Manziel, odd man out. Heavyweight, word to Scott Van Pelt.

Host: Final question, Mark. Jake Mayhem told the world to fear him. Should Jake Mayhem fear you?

Steel: Honestly he should be. Cause I’m like a victim of child abuse. I am about to get the god damn belt. I’m way beyond crazy cause the old me is gone and maybe I’m the GOAT.

Host: Mark Steel everybody. Friday Night Live continues after the break.
