PRE-RECORDED @ the historic ELDORADO CASINO in RENO, NV NOVEMBER 12, 2022 |
LARRY GOWAN stepped out at the top of the ramp and addressed the crowd to kick off the show, stating that there would be some changes coming pertaining to the talent and the bloated roster. He seemed genuinely sad when he announced that THE BAD BITCH ARMY and former Unity Champions HEROES FOR HIRE had been released from their contracts effective immediately and would not be appearing as advertised tonight. As such, there would be some changes to the Unity Division matches for the evening. The crowd gives him a positve reaction, despite the less-than-good news.
OPENING CONTEST
MELODY SLAYTON vs CAMILLA PAZZINI
Melody Slayton clearly has done her homework and she came in hot, avoiding a telegraped lariat AND the signature spear of Pazzini. She slipped behind and took Cammie down with a Backcracker, leaving her writhing in pain on the canvas. The generational superstar popped back up to her feet and nailed a knee to the back before scaling the ropes! Cammie's still down so Melody launched with her patented Splash Mountain (Pepsi Plunge) and then rolled through to hook both legs for a speedy and decisive 3-count!
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): MELODY SLAYTON
The Horsewomen are out and Morgan Simmons immediately gloated about retaining the Splat Interstellar Gemini Titles AND gaining the Unity Titles. She asked “what did they say would happen when the Horsewomen came to Uprising. Talia Skye responded with domination and championship victories. Reyna Carter then added insults to the American fans calling them “dumb dumbs” who support garbage outlaw wrestlers and morons who no sell getting thrown off of a scaffold. Talia then responded saying that the one thing that cannot be denied are them being double champions. She says being Top Girls are only for the strong and the Elite which The Horsewomen are.
The fans mostly booed at them gloating and flaunting their championships. Morgan said the Horsewomen planted their flag right in the heart of the Unity division and that even with the releases, there will still be TWO Unity division matches on the card and that they will be watching. Reyna said it doesn’t matter who is handed the first shot at them because at the end of the day, The Horsewomen have the division on lock and eye. It is theirs and the titles will stay with them for as long as they want to be champions. The promo ends and The Horsewomen take their place at ringside, looking to watch the action unfold.

CLOUD 9 vs THE UNKILLABLES
The Cloud 9 boys looked genuinely stoked to be back in action after such a long hiatus and the crowd gave them a warm reception. The excitement didn't last long as Cassidy completely worked over Donovan until he was nearly dead on his feet. He tossed Donovan into the corner, tagged AKUDAMA and nailed the Dead Memories)! AKUDAMA used Cassidy as a launching pad for a stiff hesitation dropkick to the slumped form of Donovan in the corner, only for Cassidy to hit a Corner Cannonball afterwards! Donovan fell back and AKUDAMA booted him in the back of the head before dragging him to the middle of the ring for a cover. Ace got cut off by Cassidy, unable to save his partner.
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): THE UNKILLABLES
Cassidy leaned over the ropes, shouting into the hard camera that the Horsewomen better be paying attention because those Unity Championships wouldn't be in their possession much longer.
CRYSTAL ZDUNICH & ANDREA HERNANDEZ vs ARIA & MIA STEVENS
It was pretty clear from the opening moments that Crystal and Andrea were on the same page and they managed to completely isolate and dismantle Mia Stevens, keeping her away from a tag until she can barely stand. She dipped into her MMA arsenal but was no match for the technical aspect of Andrea's arsenal or Crystal's wily strikes. Together they shut her down, leaving ARIA to fend for herself and turning her social media prediction into fact. The Detective held her own pretty well, avoidng a few near falls. The pivotal moment came when Crystal nailed a Flashing Lights kick before a hot tag. Andrea leapt off the top for the Rise of the Phoenix (Phoenix Splash from top rope) for a decisive 3 that Mia was in no position to save her from.
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): CRYSTAL ZDUNICH & ANDREA HERNANDEZ
SAMANTHA TOLSON vs DAYNA BARRETT
Samantha Tolson looked ready to take the UWL Women's World Champion Dayna Barrett to task but that confidence faded the moment Barrett had an answer for everything thrown her way. Counter after counter lead to a very frustrated Tolson botching a corner knee lift to allow Dayna a near-fall. Getting back into the swing of things, Tolson pours on the offense, wearing down her opponent until she's in perfect position for a Beautiful Oblivion Rendezvous (Cross Rhodes)! She just barely gets the 3, but a win is a win!
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): SAMANTHA TOLSON

BLACK CRUSADE WORLDWIDE vs THE AXE GRINDERS
The match was chaotic from the start, with Climax at ringside to serenade the poor fans in the front rows. Kalinda and Molly had a spirited exchange that ended with the longest reigining tag team champion flat on her back thanks to the Axe Driver! Griff hit a Rocker Dropper while Molly dropped and took Kalinda's legs out with a double leg sweep, avoiding a tail-lashing in the process! With Griffin the legal man now, the first pinfall almost happens. Hawkins had Kalinda hooked up but then was pulled out of the ring by PyreBird. Kalinda immediately hopped over the ropes to crash into Hawkins and then the dastardly duo pull out a pair of oversized plaid pants and start trying to force them onto Hawkins' legs! TAKE THAT! YOU'VE BEEN PANTSED!
Molly dove over the ropes to join the melee on the outside, freeing her partner who's doing his best to rid himself of the extra pants. Kalinda rolled back into the ring to break the count and Molly followed her, laying a beating on her! Molly came in from behind for a German Suplex, but Griff moved in behind her, slipped her into an Electric chair position on his shoulders and as she lifted, he did the same! HELLEVATOR SUPLEX! Kalinda flew over the ropes to the outside, crashing into Pyrebird who's just getting back up from the last human projectile that hit her. HIGH FIVE! Molly slides out of the ring, grabs Kalinda and flings her back in for Grffin! SHOT IN THE DARK! SPIRAL DROPKICK! They call that Spiral Darkness and it's enough for them to get the three!
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): THE AXE GRINDERS
KEVIN MEARS (c) vs SERENITY HOLMES
Mears started in charge, nailing a tornado DDT, immediately dropping for a cover that Serenity kicked out of before Big J could even get in position. They grappled a bit on the canvas, each trying for submissions that ultimately go nowhere before a reset. Mears took her over with a Michinoku driver and then hooked her into a crossface – SERENITY ELBOWED HER WAY OUT! It was fast-paced, back and forth and the crowd are absolutely loving this showcase of two of UPRISING's finest young talent! The turning point came when Serenity met a backbreaker attempt with some chops and a boot to the midsection! She grabbed Mears around the waist—NO! Reversal into a rolling German suplex! See My Knee (single knee facebreaker) and Serenity was clearly seeing stars! Mears dragged her back up when she refused to stay on her back but Serenity dumped him into the ropes, desperate to get back in charge as the crowd erupted in a wall of noise. She went for a diving crossbody but Mears rolled through itand slid out of the ring, shaking his head and mocking her.
Mears headed back into the ring, dodged a telegraphed lariat and just mowed Serenity down. He pulled her up, looking for a lungblower but she slipped out in the air, turned it into a hurricanrana and the crowd went insane! She staggered back up and it was clear that she was feeling that impact as Mears chopped the hell out of her in the corner before taking her over with a devastating backbreaker! Serenity popped back up, shaking off the cobwebs and she avoided a telegraphed penalty kick before hooking and taking Mears over with a sloppy DDT! She went for a small package but Mears nailed a neck twist! Holmes stumbles back to her feet, right into the clutches of Mears! Head Games (Running Front Flip DDT) and Serenity stopped moving. Mears hooked the leg – what a fantastic match and a hell of a first defense!
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): KEVIN MEARS
Kevin Mears leaned over Serenity, saying something that's lost in his music as it explodes over the speakers but from the look on her face, he wasn't berating her. She nodded eventually and Mears stood, collecting his championship from the referee and hoisting it in the air to a very LOUD mixed reaction. The camera cut over to the front row where Summer Page was seen applauding and cheering for her man's dominant performance.
