LIVE FROM THE SILVER STATE BALLROOM at the historic ELDORADO CASINO in RENO, NV JUNE 15, 2022 |
In a surprising turn of events, it's actually UPRISING CEO JACKSON who heads out to the ring as the show opens, thanking the fans for their record-breaking attendance on the sold out first edition of UNLEASHED. He explains that this will be a house show, permanently making the Silver State Ballroom at the Eldorado Casino home and that it will be used to showcase up and coming talent for the company and will be broadcast for free on YouTube.
ZELDA FISCHER vs HAYLEY DARK
It's a fast-paced clash of styles in our opening contest with lots of back and forth action, getting the crowd on the edges of their seats. Hayley Dark catches Zelda with her signature Dark Embrace (grapevine dragon sleeper) on a reversal but a rope break saves the day! They come to blows, brawling back and forth across the ring before Zelda catches an attempted scissor sweep and flings Dark off. Blitzkrieg (RKO) out of nowhere, and the former Trios Champion goes down for the three count!
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): ZELDA FISCHER

Dodge is looking to build some momentum after a hard loss in his debut against fan favorite Azurine Vebbins, and the two friends seem to be having a good time exchanging holds before Jacki connects with that signature diving headbutt, stunning Dodge! He falls back and she snatches him in The Darkest Hour (chicken wing facelock) in the middle of the ring, leaving Dodge no choice but to submit.
WINNER (VIA SUBMISSION): JACKI O'LANTERN
GASTON GILLET vs "UMF" LARA BRATTON
It's a nice back and forth contest to welcome back season 1 favorite and former Silver State Champion Gaston Gillet. The momentum shifts when Bratton rolls out of the ring for a breather and gets handed a cup of beer by a fan. She turns back towards the ring and Gillet slaps it out of her hand. Lara lunges after the fallen booze and Gillet grabs her. He nails a boot to the midsection. Beer sprays the front row as Gillet tosses Bratton back into the ring, sliding in behind her. He underhooks both arms, catching her with a modified backslide. Bratton tries to get free but can't quite get the shoulders up.
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): GASTON GILLET
MELODY SLAYTON vs CASEY CAESAR
Absolutely deafening pops for these two newcomers and it's a speedy contest with Serenity Holmes watching at ringside. The Canadian gets a lucky reversal with a dragon screw leg whip and transitions to the Canadian Cloverleaf (standing Texas cloverleaf) to a huge pop from the crowd. It looks like Slayton might tap but she manages to reverse. They reset and move back into a series of quick reversals, putting on a clinic that gets the crowd excited. Slayton gets the quick rollup and a two count! The counters and speedy pace continue until we hit the 20-minute time limit for a draw!
WINNER: TIME LIMIT DRAW
BLACKSTAR manages to stun Vebbins after a few counters then runs towards the ropes, looking for a springboard moonsault but gets nothing but knees as he comes crashing down. Vebbins is up immediately and she snatches him into a sleeper hold with body scissors. Somehow, BLACKSTAR breaks out and hauls Vebbins up only to be countered with another headscissors. After ducking a roaring elbow as they both roll up, BLACKSTAR explodes forward with a a wicked clothesline that practically decapitates Vebbins. He sets Azzy up between his legs again, looking for that THETA BOMB (powerbomb) but Vebbins breaks free! She catches him with a sharp upkick on the landing that staggers him, allowing her to complete the Pearly Gatekeeper and seal the deal for a decisive win!
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): AZURINE VEBBINS
It's the striker versus the MMA specialist and it's actually a great contrast of styles off the bat. Reno's looking sharp but Ty's quick with the counters until a huge knockdown shifts momentum and they both spill outside for some brawling. Reno breaks free, looking to break up the count out but Ty catches his ankle, hauling him back. A back elbow breaks his hold and Reno breaks up the count at six. Voronin goes for a grapple but Reno reverses and rides Ty down into the mat where he floats into a rear naked choke! Rope break reset! Back up, they start pummeling each other as the crowd goes wild. Reno ducks under a telegraphed punch and catches Voronin with a boot to the guts! Welcome to Reno, Mother Fucker (double underhook DDT) and he gets the three!
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): RENO NEVADA
Petra looks thrilled to be in the ring but the moment she steps between the ropes, that changes. UVR nails the Gastrazine kick, knocking her out. The crowd is booing as UVR steps in close and scoops her up for Judgement Day! It's all over in a matter of seconds and she rests her foot on Petra's chest for the cheap pinfall. She promised destruction and has delivered it in spades here in front of the sold-out crowd in Reno.
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): URSULA VON ROSSBACH
CLOUD 9 vs STRIKE 2 KILL
It's a tag team match in the uncanny valley since both teams look nearly identical other than their gear. Watson and Donovan kick off the action and keep it fast-paced with the fight spilling to the outside a few times. The crowd's definitely into it and loving every second. The high spot is when Donovan slides back in to break up the count and then slingshots right back out with a guillotine leg drop TO THE FLOOR! He poses for the crowd and then gets jumped from behind by Liam Richardson. Watson gets back up on the apron, puts one foot between the ropes and makes the hot tag. Liam jumps down and nails Donovan with a back elbow just as he's rising before tossing him back into the ring. Liam scales the ropes and comes crashing down on the dazed Donovan with a diving elbow to the back of the head and then transitions to that deadly Your Last Hurrah (modified double underhook guillotine choke), leaving poor Donovan no choice but to tap out after Watson drags his partner off the apron to the floor for another slugfest!
WINNER (VIA SUBMISSION): STRIKE 2 KILL
TOTAL ANARCHY CHAMPIONSHIP
MATTHEW KNOX (c) vs GRAHAM CLAUSON
It's Main Event time and Knox has been on a huge roll lately with title wins and streaks all over the place. He's clearly looking to keep that up as he takes the fight to Clauson, looking to stay out of range of his strikes while systematically weakening the vertical base. It's a great contest with a lot of high spots until the sound of bottles clinking rings out over the tense crowd. Ross Hanson stands midway down the ramp, beer bottles on his fingers and he clinks them together like that iconic scene from The Warriors, beckoning for Clauson to "come out and play". Knox tries to cut him off, eating a sucker punch that drives him back before Clauson bails out of the ring, charging up the ramp. Glass shatters on the ramp as Hanson whips the bottles at Clauson and flees, enticing him to follow while Knox leans on the top rope, wiping bloody saliva from his lips, looking pissed off at the interruption and the cheap win he's about to be awarded as his opponent disappears from sight.
WINNER (VIA COUNT OUT): MATTHEW KNOX
