Episode 42: June 30, 2024
Liam Stewart: Get ready, BWF faithful - your favorite show is back! BWF Shockwave is LIVE tonight from Fort Limitless in Seattle, and we have a hell of a show ahead of us, Riley.
Riley Rouse: We absolutely do, Liam. We’re gonna crown a new #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Title, we have one of BWF’s legends returning in what is sure to be a can’t miss match, plus our NEW BWF World Champion Vanessa Page is in the house and will no doubt have something to say later tonight.
Liam Stewart: But right now, we head to the ring to find out which team of Strange Bedfellows will move on to Independence Day of Reckoning to compete for the vacant BWF Tag Team Titles!
The arena buzzes with excitement as the lights dim and “The Right Direction” by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus hits. Gabe Shelley makes his way to the ring, high-fiving fans and exuding confidence. Following him, “Do It Like a Dude” by Jessie J blasts through the speakers as Emily Corlen struts out, her expression a mix of disdain and determination.
Their opponents, Kaya Parker and Mattie Knox Jr., come out to “Flowers” by Kayla King feat. Halocene and “X-Men '97 Theme” by The Newton Brothers respectively, each with their unique flair and charisma. The crowd is electrified, anticipating the unusual dynamics of this Strange Bedfellows match.
Liam Stewart: Well, Riley, this is a match that could really shake things up. You have Emily Corlen, who's known for her ruthless aggression, paired with Gabe Shelley, who's all about honor and respect.
Riley Rouse: And let's not forget, Kaya Parker and Mattie Knox Jr. are no slouches either. Kaya's got that mean streak, and Mattie... well, he's got the heart of a lion.
DING!
The bell rings, and it's Shelley and Knox Jr. who start things off. The match begins with a fast-paced exchange of holds and counters, showcasing their technical prowess. Shelley gains the upper hand with a Cannon Ball, sending Knox Jr. to the mat. He tags in Corlen, who enters with a powerful Clothesline, followed by a Gorilla Press Slam on Knox Jr.
Liam Stewart: Gabe Shelley showing his technical mastery early on. But here comes Emily Corlen, and you know she's got a chip on her shoulder.
Riley Rouse: She always does, Liam. That's what makes her so dangerous.
Knox Jr. battles back, using his speed and agility to evade Corlen's powerhouse moves. He counters a Scoop Slam attempt with a Blurred Lines Bronco Buster, then tags in Parker. Kaya enters with a Superknee Slingshot, taking Corlen down. As the match progresses, tensions rise between Corlen and Shelley. Corlen tags herself in aggressively, just as Shelley is building momentum. She hits Parker with the Catalyst (Glam Slam) and goes for the pin, but Parker kicks out at two. Shelley, visibly frustrated, tags himself back in and the crowd senses the growing animosity.
Liam Stewart: You can cut the tension with a knife between Corlen and Shelley. These two are supposed to be partners, but it looks like they're more interested in one-upping each other.
Riley Rouse: I can't blame Gabe, though. Emily's the kind of person who makes enemies faster than friends.
The turning point comes when Shelley sets up for The reVolt on Parker, but Corlen demands to be tagged in to finish the match. Shelley obliges, but as Corlen is about to hit Down in Flames (Pedigree), Shelley hits her with The reVolt out of nowhere, leaving the audience in shock. He stands over Corlen, a look of vindication on his face, before exiting the ring.
Liam Stewart: Did you see that?! Gabe Shelley just turned on his partner! What's he thinking?
Riley Rouse: This is payback, Liam. A few years ago, Emily attacked Gabe's wife and broke her arm. Gabe hasn't forgotten that.
Parker seizes the opportunity, tagging in Knox Jr., who hits Corlen with the Screw U (Spinning Knee Strike)! 1… 2… 3! This one is over!
DING DING DING!!!
WINNERS: Kaya Parker & Mattie Knox Jr., via Pinfall
As the victors celebrate, Shelley stands on the ramp, staring down at the ring where Corlen lies defeated. The commentary team, Liam Stewart and Riley Rouse, speculate on the deep-seated grudge that led to Shelley's shocking betrayal. The win secures Parker and Knox Jr. a spot in the Triple Threat Match for the vacant BWF Tag Team Titles at Independence Day of Reckoning on July 21.
Liam Stewart: This match has just added a whole new layer of intrigue to the tag team title scene. Kaya Parker and Mattie Knox Jr. are going to be a force to reckon with.
Riley Rouse: And you know Emily Corlen won't take this lying down. Gabe Shelley's made a powerful enemy tonight.
The lights dim and "The Bomb" by Pigeon John erupts through the speakers as Zoe Cooper makes her entrance, brimming with enthusiasm and determination. The crowd gives her a warm reception, excited to see her in action on BWF Shockwave. As Zoe enters the ring, she acknowledges the fans, hyping them up even more.
Next, "The Game Is Over" by Evanescence echoes through the arena. Talia Areano steps out, her expression serious and focused. The fans cheer loudly for the international veteran, respecting her storied career and recent hardships. Talia's intensity is palpable as she makes her way to the ring, ready to prove herself after losing the Undisputed LW Tag Team Titles and suffering a betrayal from her former partner, Amber Yung.
Liam Stewart: Well, Riley, this match is going to be a test for both competitors. Zoe Cooper is looking to make a big splash here on BWF Shockwave, while Talia Areano has a lot to prove after the events at LW The Return.
Riley Rouse: No doubt, Liam. Talia's been through a lot lately, and she's not going to let this opportunity slip away easily.
DING!
The bell rings, and the match begins with a handshake, a sign of mutual respect. They lock up in the center of the ring, with Zoe using her strength advantage to push Talia into the ropes. Talia responds with a quick arm drag, followed by another, showcasing her technical prowess. Zoe rolls through and both competitors get to their feet, the crowd applauding the athletic display. Zoe goes on the offensive with a series of karate-style kicks, hitting her signature move, Kicking It Old School. Talia absorbs the strikes, countering with a dropkick that sends Zoe into the corner. Talia follows up with a high-impact Tornado DDT, quickly covering for a two-count. Zoe kicks out, determined to stay in the match.
Liam Stewart: What a fast-paced start! Both of these women are pulling out all the stops early on.
Riley Rouse: That's what you have to do in a match like this, Liam. Every move counts.
The pace quickens as Zoe fights back with a spinning heel kick, stunning Talia. She follows up with The Pounce, a flying body press that takes Talia off her feet. Zoe goes for a cover, but Talia kicks out at two. Zoe doesn’t let up, attempting a Revolutions Per Minute (Rolling Dodge into a Spear), but Talia sidesteps, causing Zoe to crash into the turnbuckle. Talia seizes the moment, hitting a standing 450 Splash and following up with a Shining Wizard. She hooks the leg, but Zoe once again kicks out at two. The crowd is firmly behind both competitors, appreciating the high-energy contest.
Liam Stewart: These two are giving it everything they have! What a match!
Riley Rouse: You can see the fire in Talia's eyes. She wants that shot at the Intercontinental Championship.
The match continues with both women trading blows in the center of the ring. Talia hits a flurry of open-handed chops, then goes for a float-over DDT. Zoe counters, lifting Talia and dropping her with a flapjack. Zoe signals for the end, setting up for The Face Replacer (Busaiku Knee Kick). As Zoe charges in for the Face Replacer, Talia dodges at the last second, and Zoe's knee strikes the referee, knocking them out cold. Seizing the opportunity, Talia hits her finisher, the Slice of Heaven (Sliced Bread #2), and goes for the cover. The crowd counts along, but there’s no referee to make it official.
Liam Stewart: Talia has it won! But there's no referee to count!
Riley Rouse: This is heartbreaking for Talia. She had Zoe down for the count!
With the referee still down, Amber Yung sprints down the ramp and slides into the ring. She delivers a vicious kick to Talia's head, leaving her dazed and sprawled on the mat. Amber quickly exits the ring, and Zoe, having been knocked down in the melee, doesn't see the interference.
Liam Stewart: What the hell?! Amber Yung just attacked Talia Areano! The referee didn't see a thing!
Riley Rouse: This is disgraceful! Zoe has no idea what's happened!
The referee begins to stir as both Zoe and Talia slowly recover. Zoe, seeing her chance, sets up for the Face Replacer once again. This time, she connects perfectly with the running knee, flooring Talia. Zoe covers her as the referee crawls over and counts the three.
DING DING DING!!!
WINNER: Zoe Cooper, via Pinfall
The crowd has a mixed reaction, with cheers for Zoe's victory but boos for the underhanded tactics used. Zoe stands in the ring, celebrating, oblivious to Amber's interference. Talia, holding her head in pain, looks up the ramp where Amber stands, a malicious grin on her face.
Liam Stewart: Zoe Cooper is the new #1 contender, but you have to wonder what she'll think when she finds out how it happened.
Riley Rouse: Talia Areano just can't catch a break. Amber Yung has made an enemy tonight, that's for sure.
Zoe continues to celebrate her hard-fought victory, while Talia glares at Amber, setting the stage for further confrontation down the line. The match ends with Zoe as the #1 contender for the BWF Intercontinental Championship, but with definite tension simmering beneath the surface.

The arena lights dim as 'Cloak of Feathers' by The Sword begins to play. A sinister aura fills the air as Johnathan Daemon makes his entrance, his presence commanding and intimidating. The crowd boos loudly, recognizing the former BWF World Champion and his ruthless reputation. Daemon walks to the ring with a cold, calculated expression, ready to reclaim his kingdom.
Liam Stewart: Here comes Johnathan Daemon, a former BWF World Champion returning to the company with a vengeance. This man is as dangerous as they come, Riley.
Riley Rouse: No doubt about it, Liam. Daemon is here to re-establish his dominance, and he won't hesitate to dismantle anyone in his path.
The mood shifts as "You've Got a Friend in Me" by Touchdown Boy hits the speakers. Callie Crocket bounds to the ring, wearing her signature bunny ears and bunny tail, her energy infectious. The crowd cheers for the peppy, sweet competitor, but there's an underlying tension knowing who she's up against.
Liam Stewart: And here comes Callie Crocket, always a fan favorite with her bubbly personality and impressive in-ring skills. She may look sweet, but she's a decorated former Champion.
Riley Rouse: Callie is tough as nails, but tonight, she's stepping into the ring with a ruthless opponent. Let's see if her spirit can withstand Daemon's onslaught.
The bell rings, and the match begins. Callie circles Daemon cautiously, aware of his dangerous reputation. She charges in, aiming for a quick offense with a flurry of forearm strikes. Daemon absorbs the blows with a smirk, barely flinching. He grabs Callie by the arm, yanking her into a vicious short-arm clothesline that sends her crashing to the mat.
Liam Stewart: Callie came out strong, but Daemon just shrugged it off like it was nothing!
Riley Rouse: This is the power and resilience of Johnathan Daemon. He's not here to play games.
Daemon lifts Callie effortlessly, tossing her with a German Suplex that leaves her sprawling. He doesn't give her a moment to recover, following up with a series of punishing suplexes, each one more brutal than the last. The crowd winces with every impact, feeling Callie's pain.
Callie tries to mount some offense, using her agility to duck under a strike and hit a quick dropkick to Daemon's knee. Daemon staggers but quickly regains his balance, catching Callie mid-air as she attempts a crossbody. He transitions seamlessly into The Ritual Disembowelment III (Fireman’s Carry into Single Knee Kneeling Gutbuster), driving the wind out of her.
Liam Stewart: Daemon is just dismantling Callie here. Every move is calculated and devastating.
Riley Rouse: Callie's trying to fight back, but Daemon isn't giving her any openings.
Daemon stands over Callie, taunting her and the audience. He lifts her up and delivers a devastating Maverick Remnant (Electric Chair into High Angle German Suplex), leaving Callie motionless on the mat. The crowd's energy shifts, growing more concerned for Callie's wellbeing.
Liam Stewart: Callie is in serious trouble here. Daemon is making a statement tonight.
Riley Rouse: This is a message to the entire BWF roster. Johnathan Daemon is back, and he's more dangerous than ever.
With a cold, merciless expression, Daemon sets up for his finisher. He locks Callie's arms and executes The Perfect Armbar (Double Underhook Suplex into Cross Armbreaker), wrenching her arm with ruthless precision. Callie has no choice but to tap out, the pain too intense to endure.
DING DING DING!!!
WINNER: Johnathan Daemon, via Submission
The referee calls for the bell, and Daemon releases the hold, standing tall over his fallen opponent. The crowd boos loudly, but Daemon relishes their disdain. He looks down at Callie with disdain, his dominance clearly reestablished.
Liam Stewart: What a dominant performance by Johnathan Daemon. He dismantled Callie Crocket tonight, sending a clear message to everyone in BWF.
Riley Rouse: Daemon is here to reclaim his kingdom, and after that display, there's no doubt he's capable of doing just that.
As Daemon's music plays, he exits the ring, leaving a battered Callie behind. The crowd's concern turns to respect for Callie's bravery, but the focus remains on Daemon's ominous return and the dark cloud he's cast over the BWF landscape.
The arena pulses with anticipation as 'King of The Fairies' by Waylander reverberates through the venue, signaling the arrival of Aislin Finn. The Celtic enigma emerges, clad in mystic attire, her presence commanding attention and intrigue. The crowd reacts with a mix of awe and unease, aware of the sinister reputation that precedes her.
Liam Stewart: Aislin Finn, the reigning Queen of Limitless Wrestling, has returned to make a statement here in BWF. Her actions at LW The Return sent shockwaves through the entire industry.
Riley Rouse: That's right, Liam. Finn's return has been nothing short of controversial, especially after costing Jessi Ozborne her BWF World Championship. Tonight, she faces another tough challenge in Jessie Lee.
As Finn enters the ring, her focused demeanor speaks volumes about her intent. The atmosphere shifts abruptly as 'SUPERNOVA' by Ghostkid blasts through the speakers, heralding the arrival of Jessie Lee. The chaotic babyface storms down the ramp with unbridled energy, a fierce determination etched on her face.
Riley Rouse: And here comes Jessie Lee, a powerhouse with a no-nonsense attitude. She's here to shut down Finn's plans tonight.
Liam Stewart: Jessie Lee has been a key player in the Queens of Chaos alongside Jessi Ozborne. You can bet she's looking to defend her faction's honor tonight.
DING!
The bell rings, and the match is underway. Finn and Lee circle each other cautiously, each assessing the other's strengths and weaknesses. Lee makes the first move, lunging forward with a powerful clothesline, but Finn ducks under it, showcasing her agility. She retaliates with a series of quick strikes—knee shots to Lee's midsection followed by a devastating European uppercut that staggers Lee back.
Liam Stewart: Aislin Finn showing off her technical prowess early on. She's not giving Jessie Lee any room to breathe.
Riley Rouse: Finn is a master tactician in that ring. She knows how to exploit any opening.
Finn maintains control with a combination of technical holds and calculated strikes, wearing down Lee's defenses. However, Lee's resilience begins to show as she absorbs the punishment and starts to mount a comeback. She counters Finn's next move with a thunderous Dead Drop (Buckle Bomb), slamming Finn into the turnbuckle.
Riley Rouse: Jessie Lee with a brutal counter! She's turning the tide in her favor.
Lee capitalizes on her momentum, unleashing a flurry of powerhouse moves—German suplexes, tilt-a-whirl backbreakers, and a bone-rattling BOOM! (Super(Wo)man Punch) that echoes through the arena. Finn struggles to regain control as Lee presses her advantage with relentless aggression.
Liam Stewart: Jessie Lee is dominating now. Finn needs to find a way to turn this around.
As Lee sets up for her finisher, FATALITY! (Brogue Kick/Pump kick), Finn manages to counter with a well-timed kick to Lee's knee, halting her momentum. Finn seizes the opening, targeting Lee's legs with precision strikes and submissions, trying to weaken her powerhouse opponent.
Riley Rouse: Finn is targeting Jessie Lee's legs now, trying to neutralize Lee's power advantage.
Finn locks in the Fairy Circle (Single-leg Seatbelt Toss), wrenching Lee's knee and exerting immense pressure. Lee grits her teeth, enduring the pain, and manages to power out with a desperate flurry of elbows to Finn's head. The match intensifies into a back-and-forth exchange of strikes and submissions, each woman refusing to back down.
Liam Stewart: This match is turning into a battle of attrition. Both Finn and Lee are pushing their limits tonight.
As the match reaches its crescendo, Finn attempts to deliver her finisher, Cleddyf (Double Fujiwara Armbar), but Lee counters with sheer strength, hoisting Finn into a devastating spinebuster. The impact rattles the ring, leaving both competitors gasping for breath.
Riley Rouse: What a spinebuster by Jessie Lee! She's looking to capitalize now.
With the crowd rallying behind her, Lee ascends the turnbuckle, preparing for her signature move, LEEthality (Spinning double underhook facebuster/Berkocet). Just as she leaps, the arena plunges into darkness and a loud pop can be heard as 'Kool-Aid' by Bring Me The Horizon hits the Tron.
The lights come back on and Finn screams at the stage, awaiting the reckoning for her actions at The Return. However, that reckoning comes not at Ozborne’s hands… but at Lee’s, who spins the distracted Aislin around and drops her with a lightning-quick LEEthality (Spinning double underhook facebuster/Berkocet)! One cover later, the bell rings and this match is over!
DING DING DING!!!
WINNER: Jessie Lee, via Pinfall
The crowd cheers loudly as Lee's arm is raised in victory. Ozborne's interference has cost Finn the match, leaving Lee standing tall in the ring. Aislin rolls to the outside and stares up at the stage, devolving into mad cackling as she runs her hands through her hair.
Riley Rouse: Jessie Lee with a controversial win here tonight, thanks to Jessi Ozborne's interference. This rivalry between Ozborne and Finn is far from over, Liam.
Liam Stewart: Indeed, Riley. With Independence Day of Reckoning on the horizon, one has to wonder what Jessi Ozborne has planned next - and how Aislin Finn will factor into those plans. Judging from her reaction right now… I have a feeling this is going to get worse before it gets better for both women.
IN-RING SEGMENT
“7/11” by Beyonce begins playing throughout Fort Limitless as the Shockwave crowd begins to boo. Four muscular men are carrying a Sedan Chair that Vanessa Page is sitting in. Vanessa is holding the BWF World Championship high in the air.
Liam Stewart: Oh my God! This is just a bit much.
Riley Rouse: You are familiar with the Page Sisters, correct? Can you honestly say something like this is beneath them?
Liam Stewart: Excellent point, Riley.
The men carrying the Sedan Chair arrive at ringside. They even the Sedan Chair to the ring apron. Vanessa then stands up and steps onto the ring apron. One of the men hops up to the ring apron then holds the bottom and middle ropes open for Vanessa. Vanessa steps into the ring and takes a twirl as she holds the World title up in the air.
Riley Rouse: Can she be any more full of herself?
Liam Stewart: Don’t you dare challenge her to that. I am sure she can find a way.
Vanessa is handed the microphone and a glass of champagne.
Vanessa Page: Who is ready to celebrate?!?!?!
The crowd booing gets louder.
Vanessa Page: You people obviously need me as the standard bearer of BWF, seeing how unrefined all of you are acting right now. Limitless Wrestling and more specifically the BWF entered the #FlawlessEra when I defeated the leader of the Queens of Chaos herself, Jessi Ozborne, to become the brand new BWF World Heavyweight Champion.
The crowd continues to boo. Someone in the crowd catches Vanessa’s eye.
Vanessa Page: HEY NOW!!! Don’t you dare start trying to dry heave right now, loser! That’s gross.
Vanessa shakes her head in disgust as she takes a sip of champagne.
Vanessa Page: Now what all of you need and what Fort Limitless definitely needs is an upgrade in class. How does that happen, you might ask? First of all, we need to liven this place up.
Vanessa looks at the ring crew.
Vanessa Page: Hit it, boys!
A banner of Vanessa holding the BWF World Heavyweight title comes down from the rafters.
Vanessa Page: Ah, that’s much better!
Vanessa looks back out at the crowd.
Vanessa Page: You’re welcome!
Vanessa puts the BWF World Heavyweight title belt over her left shoulder.
Vanessa Page: Now that all of you have entered the #FlawlessEra, things are about to change around here in Limitless Wrestling. First of all, I can proclaim myself as the forever BWF World Heavyweight Champion. This belt is staying with me.
Vanessa taps on the belt.
Vanessa Page: You can all best believe I will be handling my business, but now that I am champion, you can rest assured that business will now pick up. People will come to Limitless Wrestling and flourish. That is if you stay away from my title and the only people that will be thriving are my friends. Between both brands, we will have Limitless Wrestling on lock because everything I do is #Flawless!
Liam Stewart: Oh, Riley, she's really laying it on thick with the #FlawlessEra stuff.
Riley Rouse: She's certainly not short on confidence, Liam. Vanessa Page has always been about making a statement, and tonight, she's not holding back.
Liam Stewart: You have to wonder how the rest of the locker room feels about Vanessa's proclamation of being the forever champion.
Riley Rouse: Well, Liam, when you back it up in the ring like Vanessa intends to, you can afford to be a bit boastful.
“7/11” by Beyonce continues playing throughout Fort Limitless as Vanessa Page takes her victory lap, before the show fades to the BWF logo, and finally to black.
