NYCW Gets a TV Deal (2022 C-Verse)

[Trillerverse]

NYCW Sunday Night Special Show 16:

2,495 were in attendance in Yonkers, NY

In-Ring:

The show opened with Eric Lee and 'The Insurance' stood in the ring. Lee, looking extremely choleric, accused Donnie Cash of bring Frankie Boy Fernandes into the company, to threaten Lee's property. Following the favour Lee did Cash, by granting Chad Chronic a NYCW Empire championship match last week, Lee stated he thought there was an understanding between the pair. Cash came out, only with Richie 'The Natural Body' Riggins; Cash insisted he brought 'The Natural Body' for his protection, but refrained from bringing anyone else as a sign of respect to Lee, and to prevent escalation of the situation. Cash gave Lee his word he has no working relationship with Fernandes, despite their LA connection, insisting that the only deal he currently has with the company to West is to have the LA Stars get a shot at COTT Tag Team titles at the Summer Lightning PPV, next Saturday. Lee looked into Cash's eyes and cautioned him that there had better be no funny business. As for Fernandes, Lee fixed that Brutus Milano will fight him, tonight!

As Mauler and Retribution celebrated with Whittaker, The DiMeo Family pounced, with Sal DiMeo jumping the barricades. The DiMeo Family used their numerical advantage effectively, as Sal DiMeo looked almost sadistic as he laid into Whittaker viscously.
