NAPWA - Up From The Ashes Pre-Show: 10-28-26
THE OFFICIAL
CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT PREVIEW SHOW
Wednesday, October
28, 2026 | Atlantic City, New Jersey
Cody Lewis • Antonio
Lee • Backstage Correspondent Lizzy
Six vacant
championships. Forty-eight tournament entries. One historic night.
1. Show opener — A company rises again
(The program opens in darkness. Archival footage shows
FOE with the World Championship, Jennifer Incredible raising the Women’s
Championship, Ian LeSabre with the International Championship, and Brymstone
and Braden Brookens with the Tag Team belts. The footage fades to the June 2025
shutdown: an empty arena, vacant belts, and darkness.)
Narrator: June
30, 2025. The North American Professional Wrestling Alliance closed its doors.
Championships were vacated. Rivalries were left unresolved. Careers were
interrupted.
Narrator: But the
history never disappeared. Now the past meets the future. November 1, 2026.
Atlantic City, New Jersey. Six championships. Six tournaments. A new beginning.
(The UP FROM THE ASHES logo fills the screen. The cameras
open inside a studio with all six championship belts illuminated behind Cody
Lewis and Antonio Lee.)
Cody Lewis: Good
evening, wrestling fans! Welcome to the official NAPWA Up From The Ashes
Preview Show! I’m Cody Lewis, alongside Antonio Lee. Tonight we take an
in-depth look at one of the most important events in company history.
Antonio Lee: When
NAPWA shut down in June 2025, nobody knew if these championships would be
defended again. Some wrestlers moved on. Others waited. But they’ve returned,
and every title has to be earned.
Cody: Nobody is
being handed a championship. Malice was the last World Champion, Amanda Nunes
the last Women’s Champion, and Brymstone and Braden Brookens the last Tag Team
Champions. None of that guarantees them a thing.
Antonio: We’ll
review all six tournaments, the history behind them, the favorites and
potential upsets. And we’ll hear from the wrestlers themselves.
Cody: We begin
with the man guiding NAPWA through its return: General Manager Ozzie Spellman!
2. Special guest — GM Ozzie Spellman
(Ozzie Spellman enters the studio, shakes hands with Cody
and Antonio, and takes his seat.)
Cody: Ozzie,
welcome. We’re finally approaching the night when NAPWA crowns six new
champions.
Ozzie Spellman:
And it’s about damn time, Cody. Bringing this company back wasn’t easy. People
thought the championships were history and everybody would move on. But NAPWA
has always been bigger than one wrestler or one person behind a desk.
Antonio: Why
tournaments instead of restoring the belts to the champions who held them when
NAPWA shut down?
Ozzie: Because
championships aren’t souvenirs. Malice was the last World Champion. Amanda was
the last Women’s Champion. Brymstone and Brookens were the last Tag Team
Champions. But that was June 2025. This is October 2026. Championships are
earned in the ring.
Cody: Some of the
seeds have been controversial.
Ozzie: Put
forty-eight entries into tournaments and you’ll get forty-seven complaints.
Type O Negative is a three-time World Champion, but he’s been away almost six
years and Malice has beaten him twice since he returned. If he wants to prove
he belongs, he can do it the hard way.
Antonio: And your
own situation with Malice?
Ozzie: Malice has
always had a problem with authority. He put his hands on me; I responded. Being
the number one seed doesn’t give him permission to do whatever he wants.
Cody: Colt Heafy,
the Strat Collective and Pharaoh’s Army all have tournament interests. What
about interference?
Ozzie: The titles
will be decided in the ring. Any manager or faction leader who decides to
interfere will answer to me.
Cody: What do you
say to fans who followed NAPWA before the shutdown and have returned since the
reboot?
Ozzie: Thank you.
Without them, there is no NAPWA. November 1 is about more than crowning
champions. It’s about proving this company has a future. And I intend to make
damn sure it does.
(Ozzie shakes hands with the announcers.)

Cody: Brymstone
and Braden Brookens were the last team to hold the Tag Team Championship before
the shutdown. They’re trying to reclaim it while both also compete in the
Landell Tournament.
Antonio: Their
first-round opponents, Ridge Reynolds and Baron Bishop, have Devastation Inc
connections and plenty of size and aggression. That’s a difficult opener.
Cody: The
Olympians, Mighty Zeus and Apollo Jackson, meet JDizzle and Raine Barlow of the
Smash Brothers.
Antonio: JDizzle
just pinned Stampede Horton in Philadelphia. Raine lost to Joshua James and
will want to make a statement. But the Olympians are tremendous athletes.
Cody: Emo Extreme
faces Stomp Machine. Emo and Chino defeated them on October 23.
Antonio: Which
gives Emo Extreme confidence, but also gives Stomp Machine a chance to correct
its mistakes.
Cody: Pharaoh’s
Army representatives Extravagante and Zukov meet Hollywood Star and King
Stratosphere.
Antonio:
Hollywood and Stratosphere have already beaten Stomp Machine since the reboot.
Don’t overlook them. My early favorite is Emo Extreme; they’re violent,
experienced and fearless.
Cody: I lean
toward the Olympians, but this bracket is wide open.
4. Lizzy interviews Emo Extreme — Chino and Emo
(Lizzy stands in a dim backstage area with Emo Hawthorne
and Chino Morales.)
Lizzy: You’ve
defeated the Olympians and Stomp Machine recently. How confident are you as the
number three seeds?
Emo Hawthorne:
Everybody keeps asking about confidence. We beat the Olympians. We beat Stomp
Machine. What else do people want, a handwritten invitation to get their asses
kicked?
Chino Morales:
Everybody talks about history. Brymstone and Brookens were champions. The
Olympians are powerful. The Smash Brothers are dangerous. Nobody talks about
what happens when they get in the ring with us.
Lizzy: Stomp
Machine gets another shot at you in the first round.
Emo: Then they
already know what they’re getting.
Chino: Malosi and
Gamba can study that match all week. When the bell rings, they’re still across
from Emo Extreme.
Lizzy: You could
meet Brymstone and Brookens later.
Emo: Good. I want
the best. Let them bring their history. Let the Olympians bring thunder. We’re
bringing violence.
Chino: And we’re
leaving with the belts.
(They walk away.)

Cody: The
Television Championship has a tremendous lineage. Padre Hubcap, formerly Jose,
has held it five times. Joshua James has won it four times. Raine Barlow was
the last champion before the shutdown.
Antonio: Raine is
the top seed and faces Bunyin Yang. Bunyin has struggled recently, but Raine
can’t overlook him.
Cody: Number two
Mr. Boom Shaka Laka meets Joshua James, fresh off a win over Raine Barlow.
Antonio: That’s a
brutal first-round match. Boom has been excellent alongside Padre Hubcap, but
Joshua knows what it takes to carry this belt.
Cody: Sidewinder
Samuels faces Padre Hubcap, while Extravagante takes on All-American Jim
Ambers.
Antonio: Ambers
is a four-time World Champion, but Cousin Vinny pinned him on October 23. And
The Process has distractions involving Ian LeSabre.
Cody: Raine
remains the top seed, but Joshua has momentum at just the right time.
6. Lizzy interviews Joshua James
Lizzy: Joshua,
congratulations on defeating Raine Barlow last Friday. How important was that
after your steel cage defeat October 9?
Joshua James: It
meant a hell of a lot. Raine beat me. He made me submit. Everybody saw it, and
I had to live with it. But I wasn’t going to let one loss define Joshua James.
Lizzy: You pinned
him with a Swinging Neckbreaker.
Joshua: And it
felt damn good. One victory doesn’t erase everything, though. Raine’s one of
the best in NAPWA. That’s why beating him means something.
Lizzy: You’re the
seventh seed, facing Mr. Boom Shaka Laka.
Joshua: Boom is
tremendous. He’s won titles, he’s got the fans behind him, and he’s dangerous.
But I’ve won the Television Championship four times. I know what it takes, and
I’m not coming to Atlantic City to make up the numbers.
Lizzy: You could
meet Raine again if you both advance.
Joshua: If that
happens, we settle it again. Right now, Boom is in front of me. Double J is
coming to win a championship.

#7 Paulie Spatoli |
Cody: Ian LeSabre
is the number one seed and the last International Champion before NAPWA shut
down. But he’s spent weeks battling Colt Heafy and The Process.
Antonio: Ian,
Cousin Vinny and M.A. Randolph defeated Brahma, Ambers and Damien Raygun last
Friday, but the conflict isn’t finished.
Cody: Ian faces
Big Stevie D. JV Heinous submitted Stevie in two minutes on October 16, and
Mighty Zeus pinned JV in Philadelphia.
Antonio: Stevie
is dangerous, but his recent results haven’t been good. Mighty Zeus, the number
two seed, meets Paulie Spatoli and is one of my favorites.
Cody: King
Stratosphere meets Jimmy James; JV Heinous faces Damien Raygun.
Antonio: Raygun
has made it clear he is not a member of The Process. His interest is Ian
LeSabre and the International Championship.
Cody: Ian and
Raygun could only meet in the final. Given their history, that would be quite a
conclusion.
8. Lizzy interviews Ian LeSabre — Interrupted by Raine Barlow
(Ian joins Lizzy backstage, relaxed but focused.)
Lizzy: You were
the last International Champion and are the number one seed. What would winning
again mean?
Ian LeSabre:
Everything. When NAPWA shut down, I wondered if we’d ever get another chance.
Now the fans are back, the belts are back, and I can prove I still belong at
the top.
Lizzy: You’ve had
a difficult few weeks with Colt Heafy.
Ian: Difficult?
I’ve been stabbed in the back, beaten down, and watched Colt shove my wife to
the ground. But last Friday, Vinny, M.A. and I reminded The Process that we
don’t go away quietly.
Lizzy: Your first
opponent is Big Stevie D.
Ian: Big,
dangerous man. I won’t overlook him. I’ve held the International Championship
twice, and I know what it takes.
Lizzy: You could
face Damien Raygun in the final.
Ian: Damien’s
been talking about darkness and shadows. If we meet, he’ll find out I don’t
scare easily. And if he gets caught in one of my submissions—
Raine Barlow: Oh,
for crying out loud.
(Raine walks into the interview area.)
Lizzy: Raine
Barlow! We’re in the middle of an interview.
Raine: Yeah, I
noticed. Ian LeSabre. International Championship. Colt Heafy. Jennifer
Incredible. Tap Tap Time. Wonderful story. Really inspiring.
Ian: Raine, is
there something I can help you with?
Raine: Actually,
yeah. I’m the NUMBER ONE seed in the Television Championship Tournament. And
here I am waiting while you interview Ian, Joshua James, Mighty Zeus, Pen Pen
and whoever else walks past the camera.
Lizzy: Joshua was
interviewed because he defeated you last Friday.
Raine: Oh, that’s
cute. Joshua gets an interview because he finally won one match against me? I
made him submit inside a steel cage. I was the last Television Champion. I’m
the top seed. But apparently that’s not interesting.
Ian: Maybe if you
stopped interrupting everybody else’s interviews, somebody would invite you to
one.
Raine: Very
funny, Ian. Everybody acts like Joshua made history. He won one match.
Congratulations, Joshua. I’m still the man to beat in this division.
Lizzy: Your
first-round opponent is Bunyin Yang.
Raine: Exactly.
I’ll beat him, advance, and reclaim the title I never should have had to
surrender.
Ian: Well, Raine,
I wish you luck.
Raine: I don’t
need your luck.
Ian: Good. I
wasn’t planning to give you any.
Raine: Enjoy your
interview, Ian. Good luck with Colt. You’re doing a fantastic job handling
that.
(Raine walks away.)
Ian: Some people
just don’t know when to shut up.
Lizzy: Final
thoughts, Ian?
Ian: Big Stevie,
I’m ready. Raygun, if we meet, I’m ready. Colt, Jennifer hasn’t forgotten what
you did. Neither have I. Atlantic City — TAP! TAP! TIME!

Cody: The Women’s
Championship has a remarkable history. Jennifer Incredible has held it nine
times, Kitty Kat Maiden six, Amora five, Pamela four, and SuZan three.
Antonio: Amanda
Nunes was the last champion before the shutdown and is the top seed. She faces
Maddie Fu.
Cody: Pen Pen
meets Pamela, Trina Hollywood faces SuZan, and Jennifer Incredible battles
Kitty Kat Maiden in a huge first-round meeting.
Antonio: Kitty
defeated Maddie on October 9 and Pen Pen on October 16. Jennifer pinned Amanda
in a four-way October 9 and teamed with Amora to beat Kitty and Pamela on
October 23.
Cody: Pen Pen
also pinned Trina in just three minutes last Friday.
Antonio: Amanda
is the top seed, but Jennifer’s chasing a tenth reign and has plenty of
motivation. This tournament could surprise everybody.
10. Lizzy interviews Amanda Nunes
Lizzy: Amanda,
you were the last Women’s Champion and enter as number one seed. How confident
are you?
Amanda Nunes:
Very. I didn’t become champion because somebody gave me a belt. I became
champion because I beat people. That’s what I do.
Lizzy: Jennifer
pinned you earlier this month, and Pen Pen won last Friday’s four-way.
Amanda: So what?
Jennifer pinned me. Fine. Pen Pen won a four-way. Good for her. In a one-on-one
tournament, nobody else can steal the pin. You have to beat me.
Lizzy: First
round is Maddie Fu.
Amanda: Maddie’s
tough. But she’ll need to be tougher than ever to beat me.
Lizzy: Jennifer’s
chasing a tenth championship. Does that motivate you?
Amanda: Jennifer
can chase ten, twenty or a hundred. None of that matters across the ring from
me. I’m not handing her a belt because she has a nice story.
Lizzy: Your final
message?
Amanda: Train
hard. Bring your best. Don’t make excuses when I beat you. I’m coming to get my
championship back.

#2 Ridge

#7 JDizzle |
Cody: The Landell
Championship rewards toughness, technical ability and determination. Brahma has
held it three times, Cousin Vinny twice, and several former World Champions are
in the bracket.
Antonio: Brahma
faces Alexander Zukov, who’s built momentum since the reboot. Ridge Reynolds
meets JDizzle, fresh off pinning Stampede Horton.
Cody: Brymstone
faces Cousin Vinny. M.A. Randolph meets Braden Brookens.
Antonio: Those
are tremendous first-round matches. Brymstone and Brookens are also trying to
win the Tag Team Championship on the same night. That’s a difficult double
assignment.
12. Lizzy interviews Brahma and The Director Colt Heafy
(Colt stands in an expensive suit beside Brahma, who has
his arms crossed.)
Lizzy: Brahma is
the Landell Tournament’s top seed. Your expectations?
Colt Heafy: The
Process does not enter tournaments hoping for success. We expect it. Brahma is
number one because he’s the most dominant force in that bracket.
Lizzy: But he
faces Alexander Zukov.
Brahma: ZUKOV!
Alexander Zukov thinks he can defeat Brahma? Brahma has crushed bigger men,
stronger men, better men! When Brahma gets his arms around him, he’ll learn
what real power feels like!
Lizzy: You’ve
held the Landell title three times. Would a fourth be special?
Brahma: Brahma
doesn’t count championships, Lizzy! BRAHMA COLLECTS THEM!
Colt: That’s why
he belongs in The Process. Excellence is demonstrated, not merely discussed.
Lizzy: The
Process suffered a major defeat Friday when Ian LeSabre, Cousin Vinny and M.A.
Randolph defeated Brahma, Ambers and Raygun.
Colt: We’re here
to discuss the Landell Tournament, Lizzy. One setback does not define The
Process. Ian can celebrate with his little collection of friends. It doesn’t
change Brahma’s seeding.
Lizzy: Jennifer
says she hasn’t forgotten what you did in Newark.
Colt: Jennifer
involved herself in matters that didn’t concern her. I’m not apologizing
because she disliked the consequences.
Lizzy: Brahma,
final words?
Brahma: EIGHT MEN
ENTER! SEVEN MEN FALL! AND BRAHMA WALKS OUT WITH THE LANDELL CHAMPIONSHIP!
Colt: The Process
continues, whether Ian LeSabre likes it or not.

#6 Stampede
Horton |

#2 Blackwood
Butcher |
#7 Justo |
Cody: The biggest
prize in NAPWA. FOE is a five-time World Champion, Type O Negative a three-time
champion, and Malice was the last champion before shutdown.
Antonio: Malice
is number one, but he faces Type O Negative. Malice beat him September 25 and
made him submit October 16. Type O rebounded by defeating Bruce Biltmore last
Friday.
Cody: Blackwood
Butcher faces Justo. Blackwood suffered a defeat to FOE in Philadelphia, while
Justo has already beaten Tonan since the return.
Antonio: FOE
faces Stampede Horton. FOE just defeated Blackwood and looks focused on a sixth
World title.
Cody: Bruce
Biltmore meets Tonan, with both trying to regain momentum.
Antonio: Malice
has the seeding, but my pick is FOE. Dangerous, experienced, and more focused
than ever.
Cody: I won’t
count out Type O. A third meeting with Malice could produce a very different
result.
14. Lizzy interviews Malice
Lizzy: Malice,
you’re the number one seed and the last World Champion before the shutdown.
What would reclaiming the belt mean?
Malice: Wrong
question, Lizzy. Ask what it would mean to NAPWA if somebody OTHER than Malice
walked out with that belt. I am the standard every World Champion should be
measured against.
Lizzy: You face
Type O Negative.
Malice:
Apparently that’s supposed to frighten me. I beat him September 25. I made him
submit October 16. And because he beat Bruce Biltmore last Friday, everybody
thinks he’s suddenly going to be champion? Give me a break.
Lizzy: Type O
says you won battles, but the war isn’t over.
Malice: Very
dramatic. He can talk about darkness and death all he wants. The bell rings,
and he faces a man who’s already proven he can beat him.
Lizzy: What about
FOE, a five-time World Champion?
Malice:
Dangerous, yes. Unbeatable, no. If FOE makes the final, I’ll remind him why I
was the last man holding that belt.
Lizzy: Ozzie
Spellman says nobody gets special treatment.
Malice: Ozzie
should spend less time talking about me and more time running this event. He
knows what happened between us. He should know better than to get in my way.
Lizzy: A final
message to the field?
Malice: Enjoy
your names on the bracket. Enjoy the predictions. When November 1 ends, one
name matters: M-A-L-I-C-E.
(Malice walks away.)
15. Final messages from the tournament competitors
(Back in the studio, Cody introduces a series of
pre-recorded messages.)
Cody: We’ve heard
from the favorites, but several other competitors have sent final messages
ahead of Up From The Ashes.
Antonio: And not
all of them are planning to exchange handshakes.
A. Blackwood Butcher — The Strat Collective
(Blackwood stands in a darkened locker room.)
Blackwood Butcher:
Justo. You think you’ll make a name at my expense? You have no idea what you’re
getting into. I’ve broken bigger men and hurt tougher men. When you step into
the ring, you’ll find out why they call me the Butcher. The World Championship
belongs in the Strat Collective. I’ll cut through anybody in my way.
B. FOE — Five-time World Champion
(FOE appears in a training area.)
FOE: Everybody
keeps talking about Malice and Type O Negative. Everybody keeps talking about
who used to hold the title. I held that damn World Championship FIVE TIMES! I
didn’t win those belts by kissing somebody’s ass or hiding behind a manager. I
beat the hell out of whoever stood across from me. Stampede Horton, you’re
first. Then the next poor bastard. Malice, Type O, Blackwood — I don’t give a
damn who makes the final. I’m coming for my SIXTH World Championship, and
anybody who doesn’t like it can kiss my ass!
C. Type O Negative — A message for Malice
(Type O stands alone in a dim room.)
Type O Negative:
Malice. You have defeated me twice. You believe those victories have settled
the matter. You believe the man who once held three World Championships is
nothing more than a memory. But memories return. Some things refuse to remain
buried. November 1. The darkness comes for you.
D. Braden Brookens and Brymstone — Double championship opportunity
Brookens: When
NAPWA shut down, Brymstone and I were Tag Team Champions. We never lost those
belts in the ring.
Brymstone: But
we’re not asking anybody to hand them back. If you want to be champion, you
earn it.
Brookens: We face
Ridge Reynolds and Baron Bishop first. And we’re both competing in the Landell
Tournament.
Brymstone: I’ve
won four World Championships. Cousin Vinny, I respect your history, but I’m not
interested in it when we meet.
Brookens: M.A.
Randolph, I respect what you’ve done. Respect won’t stop me from trying to beat
you.
Brymstone: We’re
not coming to participate.
Brookens: We’re
coming to win.
Brymstone: And we
intend to leave with more than one championship.
E. Jennifer Incredible — Chasing number ten
Jennifer Incredible:
Nine times. Nine times I’ve held the Women’s Championship. I’ve fought the
toughest women in NAPWA and found a way back every time. November 1, I have a
chance to make it ten. First I have to get through Kitty Kat Maiden. Kitty,
we’ve fought over championships, pride, and sometimes because we can’t stand
each other. You know what I can do, and I know what you can do. I’m coming to
make history. And Colt Heafy, I haven’t forgotten what you did. I’m focused on
the championship, but what happened between us isn’t over. Kitty, I’ll see you
November 1. Jennifer Incredible is coming for number ten!
F. Kitty Kat Maiden — The Women’s Division
Kitty Kat Maiden:
Oh, Jennifer. Jennifer. Jennifer. Nine championships. Ten championships. Blah,
blah, blah. Doesn’t anybody get tired of her talking about herself? I’ve held
the Women’s Championship SIX times. Jennifer, talk about your husband, your
friends, and your problems with Colt all you want. None of it matters when you
face me. I’m going to embarrass you, beat you, and remind everyone why Kitty
Kat Maiden is the most fabulous woman in NAPWA! Amanda, Pen Pen, Trina, SuZan —
don’t get comfortable. That belt is coming home with me.
G. The Olympians — Mighty Zeus and Apollo Jackson
(Zeus and Apollo stand in a gymnasium.)
Mighty Zeus:
MORTALS OF NAPWA! The gods of Olympus shall reclaim their rightful place above
all others!
Apollo Jackson:
Zeus, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We face JDizzle and Raine Barlow first.
They’re dangerous.
Zeus: No mortal
is more dangerous than the thunder of Olympus!
Apollo: Maybe
not, but we still have to beat them. Brymstone and Brookens were champions. Emo
Extreme has been impressive. Hollywood Star and King Stratosphere have been
winning. We respect them, but we believe we’re the best team.
Zeus: AND WE
SHALL PROVE IT!
Apollo: Zeus also
has the International Tournament.
Zeus: Paulie
Spatoli shall fall first! Then the others! Ian LeSabre, King Stratosphere,
Damien Raygun — whoever stands before Mighty Zeus shall feel the thunder!
Apollo: And we
plan to bring championship gold back to Olympus.
Zeus: LET THE
THUNDER ROLL!
16. Final comments and sign-off
(The cameras return to Cody and Antonio. The six
championship belts are illuminated behind them.)
Cody: What an
incredible collection of competitors preparing for Up From The Ashes.
Antonio: And look
how the stories connect. Malice wants to reclaim the World title. FOE wants a
sixth reign. Type O wants to prove his return wasn’t a mistake.
Cody: Jennifer is
chasing her tenth Women’s Championship, while Amanda Nunes wants to reclaim the
belt she held when NAPWA closed.
Antonio: Brahma
believes the Landell title belongs to him. Ian LeSabre wants the International
Championship back. Raine Barlow wants to remind everybody why he was the last
Television Champion.
Cody: And
Brymstone and Brookens want to prove they’re still the best tag team in the
company.
Antonio: But
nobody can control the unexpected. One mistake, one surprise, one performance
of a lifetime — that’s all it takes to change a tournament.
Cody: When NAPWA
shut down on June 30, 2025, these championships became symbols of an uncertain
future. But the wrestlers returned. The fans returned. And now the opportunity
to make history has returned.
Antonio:
Forty-eight tournament entries. Six championship brackets. Only six winners.
Cody: For Lizzy,
Antonio Lee, and everyone at the North American Professional Wrestling
Alliance, I’m Cody Lewis. Thank you for joining the official Up From The Ashes
Preview Show.
Antonio: We’ll
see you in Atlantic City!
Cody: Sunday,
November 1, 2026 — NAPWA presents UP FROM THE ASHES!
(The championship belts appear one last time as the show
logo fills the screen.)
