NEXTGEN EPISODE 007 EXTENSIVE RECAP
JULY 25TH 2023
Welcome to the extensive recap of EWC's NextGen episode 7 coming to you LIVE in Denver, Colorado. The Denver crowd is at standing room only and they're ready to see some of their new favorites in action! Evelyn Dominguez takes the reins, opening up with a spicy rendition of the Star Spangled Banner before introducing the commentary team - Hayley Kushnir and Marshall Evans!
Kushnir: Good Evening EWC, and it's time for another episode of Next Gen! Hot off the heels of EWC's brand warfare pay-per-view Parabellum, tonight we've got ten of the brightest up and coming stars looking to make their own impacts and get noticed by one of those four brands and who knows? One of the talents we have here tonight might just wind up in the main event of Parabellum 2024.
Evans: They've got a long way to go to get there, but names like Kenzie Ford and Viper ought to be on anyone's short list for call ups next season.
Kushnir: And with the EWC's tag team division heating up, it's possible we could see Fuego y Deseo or Amitville Horror rise up the ranks very quickly themselves. Let's hope neither team is afraid of a little dirt!
Evans: And who could forget our main event, Next Gen staple Alexander Devin is taking on his most prolific opponent to date, Mark Storm. Hayley, I'm shocked to see him here on Next Gen!
Kushnir: You never know what talent is going to come through that curtain and light EWC up, and speaking of lighting it up, our first bout is about underway between "The Wild Mage" Eddy Maverick and a fresh face to the Next Gen talent pool, Medea!
The bell sounds to kick off the show before both Eddy Maverick and Medea make their way to the ring to their respective entrances. Both competitors lock up and Eddy takes the early advantage, transitioning into a side headlock and trying to wear down the smaller Medea. Medea shifts her weight to her front foot, pushing Eddy away and into the ropes. Maverick has little time to regroup though as he hits the ropes, Medea is right on him and catches him with a kick to the gut that doubles him over. He turns away, clutching his stomach and Medea pushes the offense harder, delivering a steady stream of stomps to his back and grabbing hold of the top rope before she stands on his upper back, his throat draped over the ropes. The official gives Medea the five count before giving her an arm yank to release the hold, lest she be disqualified. She shoots a glare at the official and Eddy rolls out of the ring to regain his composure. He gets to a 6 count by the referee before the glimmer of a disco ball in the club spooks him, and he turns around back to the action only to find Medea waiting. She spins him around before grabbing him by the waist and hoisting him over for a standing german suplex. Eddy gets rolled back into the ring, Medea getting a 2 count on the pinfall before she attempts to get Hecate's Vengeance locked in. Eddy manages to power out before she can lock it in, instead laying a few closed fists into the smaller woman. He puts some distance between them, getting up to the top turnbuckle as Medea gets to her feet. Eddy leaps off, looking for Magic Missle but he hits dirt! Medea immediately jumps at the opportunity, locking her chickenwing body scissors submission in, and Eddy has no choice but to submit.
Kushnir: An impressive showing out of Medea tonight, poor Eddy.
Evans: Not a lotta wild, or magic outta him tonight unfortunately.
Kushnir: But speaking of wild, Fuego y Deseo is making their tag team debut tonight and this will be our first look at Maxi's partner, Luce Cannon.
Evans: I cannot emphasize enough how much I love this guy's name.
In our second bout of the night, teams Fuego y Deseo and Amityville Horror both make their way out to excited cheers from the crowd as Maxi and Abigail start things off. Maxi holds up his hand for a test of strength which Abigail obliges. Abigail begins to get the upper hand, much to the surprise of the local crowd before she wrenches his arm and Maxi does an impressive routine of tumbles to reverse the hold before releasing and giving her a sly grin. She gives him a nod in acknowledgement before both tie up again, this time Abigail hitting the gas much faster on the offense as she drives a knee into Maxi's gut and sends him into the ropes. She hits a superkick on his way back before she tags in Alex. Alex comes into the match like a bullet, climbing onto the turnbuckle immediately and launching himself at Maxi with a flying splash that picks up a 2 before Luce Cannon runs interference and gives him a boot to the back as a precaution. The ref warns him back to his corner and Alex picks Maxi up and looks to get him up onto his shoulders for CHAOStrophy but Maxi worms his way down from Alex's shoulders before he can get properly set up. Maxi starts to get a new wind, breaking free of Alex with an enziguri that drops Alex to a knee. Maxi hits a low drop kick, sending Alex down to his back before Maxi leaps for the tag. Luce comes barreling in, leveling Alex with a clothesline as he gets back to his feet. Abby enters the ring, looking to neutralize Luce and eats a clothesline for her troubles as well. Another series of clotheslines and Abby is sent out of the ring and Alex back down to the mat as the crowd is fired up. Luce pulls Alex back to his feet, slapping him into an abdominal stretch. The ref checks Alex, but he refuses to submit before he stomps down hard on Luce's foot and manages to break the hold. Alex shoves back Luce to gain space and Maxi makes a blind tag. Alex ducks another massive clothesline attempt, and Abby is ready and waiting on the apron and pulls down the top rope, sending Luce tumbing out of the ring. She yells for Alex to look out, seeing Maxi lining him up from the ringside area. Maxi runs, rolling in through the ropes before popping up and dropping down Alex with the Rolling Thunder Stunner! Maxi hauls Alex back to his feet, locking him up for the Maximizer. Abby attempts to break it up, but Luce is back to his feet and holding her back as the Maximizer hits to full effect, and Fuego y Deseo earns the pinfall victory.
Evans: Abby and Alex were on the right track, trying to neutralize Luce Cannon, but it just wasn't enough tonight.
Kushnir: He's like, more than both of them combined! I wouldn't have been able to get up after a single clothesline. Just another example of the incredibly talented athletes here in EWC and on Next Gen in particular.
Evans: Speaking of talented athletes, from 'sports entertainment' to EWC, Kenzie is about to learn all about how EWC bites back!
We're back in the ring, Kenzie Ford making her NextGen debut against the young star Viper. Kenzie looks at Viper's snake, being set ringside with a horrified expression before pointing and telling the official she wants no part of whatever THAT is. The bell sounds as she protests and Viper takes a running leap and plants Kenzie down with a meteora. She delivers a series of kicks, Kenzie desperately trying to shield herself from the unexpected onslaught. The official eventually has to count, as Kenzie has managed to wriggle her way to the ropes and clutches the bottom rope for dear life and Viper has to step back. Kenzie gets back to her feet on the apron, and Viper again makes a maniacal run at her but this time Kenzie side steps the incoming redhead and as Viper skids to avoid catching herself on the ropes, Kenzie hauls off and slaps her across the face. Viper stumbles back and Kenzie gets back into the ring, grabbing Viper by the wrist and whipping her into the ropes. Kenzie catches her on the rebound with a Spinebuster, hooking the leg and getting a 2 count. Kenzie looks frustrated, getting back to her feet and giving Viper a kick to the ribs to 'stay down!' before she climbs up onto the top turnbuckle. Before she can leap for her finishing maneuver, Viper gets back to her feet and runs at the ropes to drop Kenzie right down onto the turnbuckle itself. Viper pulls Kenzie off the turnbuckle, holding her up and driving her thumb into her neck with the Rattlesnake Bite! It's only enough for a 2 count though. Viper pulls her back up, looking for the Poison Kiss as she holds Kenzie off to the side. She lingers for just too long, looking like she's going to actually plant a kiss on her for effect before Kenzie grabs hold of Viper's torso and lifts her up, dropping them both down with a sidewalk slam. She picks up Viper and drops her with a reverse DDT before she scampers up the turnbuckle, leaping off with a shooting star press that nabs Kenzie her first victory in EWC.
Kushnir: Dare we call it an upset?
Evans: Call it whatever you want, Kenzie is gonna call it a win here tonight. Both of these ladies have a long way to go, but they're both well on their way.
Kushnir: Let's talk about the elephant in the room though, tonight's main event... Alexander Devin, a second year Next Gen athlete against Mark Storm... a former EWC World Heavyweight champion!
Evans: The American Dream Dusty Rhodes once talked about hard times Hayley, and Mark Storm might be finding his own hard times right now... but you know what they say. You get to the bottom, theres nowhere to go but up.
Kushnir: I'd hardly call Next Gen the bottom - but you're right about one thing. It's about to turn up in tonight's main event!
Alexander Devin makes his way down first, before Mark Storm makes his awaited return to EWC. Devin is waiting in the ring, an unreadable smirk on his face as the bell sounds. Both men tie up, Devin getting a wrist lock on Storm before Storm reverses and wrenches Devin's arm behind his back. Storm transitions into a german suplex, dropping down Devin and going for a quick pin that gets a 1 count. He gets back to his feet, not letting this deter him as he pulls up Devin and fires off a series of machine gun chops that stagger back the big man into the ropes. Storm comes running, delivering a knee strike that topples Devin out of the ring. Storm runs to the corner, looking to slingshot himself out of the ring onto Devin but Devin catches him mid-air with a discus punch that drops Storm in a heap on the outside. The ref is at a 5 count before Devin rolls in to break the count and goes back out to the outside to grab Storm and haul him back into the ring. Devin looks for Bitter Words, but the scoop slam is countered by Storm who blocks and instead reverses it into his own suplex. Both men continue back and forth, trading blows and counters until finally Devin is felled by a vicious knee to the gut that sends him spinning onto his backside. Storm manages to pick up the surprisingly lithe Devin, lifting him up onto his shoulders for Heroes End before he gets an emphatic 3 count.
Evans: And that's a W for Mark Storm, but no shame for Alexander Devin taking on a very game Storm with something to prove.
Kushnir: Tonight wasn't his night, but an impressive showing against a former EWC champion.
Evans: Folks that's it for tonight, don't forget to tune in to EWC.tv on August 21st for Night of Champions! We'll be back September 28th, live from Chicago Illinois and just days after the EWC Rumble, and who knows what could happen between now and then. I'm Marshall Evans.
Kushnir: And I'm Hayley Kushnir - and we'll see you all LIVE from Field Museum in September!
