Hadrian Black - WWE's Next Superstar Book 3
Chapter 4
Three weeks passed with Hadrian and Paige being heavily involved in the NWA.
Week 1 Hadrian was interviewed by Stu Bennett.
Bennett wanted to know why Hadrian's there in the NWA.
Hadrian pointed out that he is a travelling wrestler and the fans in any federation want to see him.
So he was only giving the fans of the NWA what they wanted.
Bennett went on to ask about Hadrian's plans in the NWA.
Hadrian explained that everyone who comes to the NWA has one deep down goal, that goal is of course to be the NWA World's Heavyweight Champion.
When asked what his thoughts were about the current champion Nick Aldis, Hadrian said he knew who Nick was of course but he has never and will never let anyone get in the way of his goals.
People needed only to look at the Who's Who of wrestling royalty Hadrian had overcome in his short career so far.
Paige that night had a short match with Marti Belle, Causing the woman to submit to the Knightmare once more.
After the match Melina tried to blindside her but Paige managed to counter and whilst she had the former WWE Diva in a submission hold
Allysin Kay came out and set up a Number 1 contendership Tournament with Paige, Ashley Vox, Melina and Thunder Rosa over the next 2 weeks.
Week 2
Paige wrestled Melina in a ten minute battle that came to an end when Melina caught Paige with a kick but spent too long posturing allowing the member of both the Black and Knight Dynasty to get her head clear and get back to her feet 30 seconds of agony followed for Melina until she tapped the ring for mercy surrendering the contest to Paige.
Nick Aldis replied to the challenge of Hadrian
Saying only true wrestling stars face him the world's champion and he didn't feel Hadrian Black had got to that level yet, he suggested Hadrian beat some credible players.
Hadrian took this to heart and spoke with management to arrange a match later with former champion Tim Storm.
Later on Hadrian Met Tim in the ring
The former champion, still a huge specimen even in his 50's.
"Kid I know Aldis, he's a game player, Don't let him control you"
"Don't worry I've got Nicks Number, He's nothing
Like my Teacher, The Undertaker"
"I Didn't know you were his Apprentice, well you need to beat a former champion and I can't Afford to lose, I won't go easy on you"
"Wouldn't want anything Different Tim"
The two wrestlers went on to battle for 25 minutes of pure guttural action
Tim overpowered hadrian but the younger warrior out paced him.
The finish came as Tim missed a grab and Hadrian rolled under him leaping up and grabbing the back of his neck snapping downwards with the Black Death.
Referee Bryan Hebner counted the 3 and Raised Hadrian's hand.
Nick Aldis had walked onto the set and stood applauding as he walked over to David Marques at the interview area
"Son you just earned your title match, I'll see you at Hard times"
Week 3 had Hadrian doing recorded interviews with his Match the following week taking priority
Paige Faced and Defeated Thunder Rosa in a submissions contest, well it might as well have been as the two women spent 15 minutes trading holds and grapples Paige coming out on top with a Knightmare.
Allysin Appeared and the two faced off their match scheduled for the same Show and Hadrian vs Nick.
NWA Hard Times (December 2019 [A/N I need it here for a reason])
NWA's second PPV took place in the studio with several matches. The twin main events were Paige vs Allysin and Hadrian vs Nick They taped the show set to go out the following weekend.
The two women went on around the middle of the Night.
Paige entered through the crowd. She stood in the ring and waited as Allysin walked out raising the title belt.
Entering the ring Allysin called on everything she had from her years of wrestling and MMA to fight Paige.
Paige played her counters game and looked to weaken Allysin Kay as much as possible with locks and holds whilst Kay went with more of a hard hitting and physical attack plan.
The match almost ended as Allysin Kay leveled
Paige with her patented Discus clothesline, sending Paige flying.
Paige struggled to her feet, her head pounding.
As she got to her feet she barely dodged a second discus clothesline from the now on top allysin dropping back and kicking.
Allysin too the full force of Paiges boot to her backside stumbling forward Paige's head cleared and she grabbed at Allysin pulling her down into a Rear naked choke.
The two women sunk to the floor Paige squeezing trying to choke the life out of her stronger opponent.
Allysin wrenched at Paige's Fingers trying to tug free eventually using everything she had to desperately pushed her way to her feet got to her knees trying harder and harder to get to her feet but Paige held tight wheezing and squeezing more and more tighter and tighter the referee approached he grabbed hold of one of allysins hands and he raised it releasing it.
it fell limp the referee raised the hand again, it fell limp raising the hand for a third and final time the referee dropped it…
Allysin kept it up, she still had life in her after all the choking she continued to claw and Claw at paige's hand pushing from her knees to one leg she now had a slight advantage pushing down on the single leg that she had on the ground, she desperately with everything she had, got to her feet Paige was now suspended in the air choking Allysin Kay.
Even on her feet Kay couldn't dislodge Paige who had locked her ankles around the larger woman's waist.
Allysin took a risk and threw herself backwards onto her back hoping the impact would stop Paige. A tactic Paige was hoping for as Kay dropped Paige released and grasped an arm before returning to the hold she now Had Allysin in a chicken wing hold, Allysin had no options and had to submit.

Backstage
Hadrian stood behind the entryway Nick was on the set Doing a pre-match interview
He was talking about how no one had what he had and could outdo the things he could do, he went on to suggest Hadrian was a nobody who got where he got due to nepotism from his trainer.
"I'll show him bloody Nepotism Hadrian vowed"
Hadrian's music started with the countdown as he got into position stepping through the curtain into the darkened studio.
He made his way down the steps heading for the podium as A surprised David Marquez handed him a mic.
"Nicky boy you had a lot to say, well buddy a big mouth like yours needs to yap a bit"
The fans laughed as Hadrian continued
"Don't get me wrong you are one hell of a fighter and mate I'm really looking forward to this, i have one gripe with what you had to say…"
"I May have had help in my training but Noone can ever suggest I got where i got through anything but my own hard work, everyone here knows who trained me but what they don't know is how let me tell you this, that man does not pull his punches Ever, and Neither do I"
Hadrian put the mic down and entered the ring.
NWA WORLD'S HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
NICK ALDIS VS HADRIAN BLACK
(1 FALL TO A FINISH, 30 MINUTE TIME LIMIT)
Hadrian and Aldis measured each other.
Feeling eachother out.
Nick had a lot of physical advantages being taller and heavier. And he knew this and dominated the match early on concentrating on the legs of his opponent.
Hadrian tried everything he could but nothing seemed to work until hadrian remembered Paige telling him something about Aldis, the NWA champion had trained with her dad and there was a flaw with his finish that Ricky pointed out that Nick never fixed.
Hadrian face down as Aldis applied the Kings Lynn Cloverleaf Hadrian rolled through and got free. Aldis looked shocked but then remembered Hadrian was dating Paige.
Nick ran at Hadrian who rolled out of the way.
Aldis frustrated looked to finish things with strength grappled and body slammed Hadrian hard in the middle of the ring.
Lifting Hadrian up Aldis looked for a powerbomb but after a few punches to the head Hadrian pulled out a hurricanrana Aldis laid on the mat both men recovering they got to their feet exchanging punches back and forth Aldis thought he'd won when Hadrian teetered back but catching Nick off guard the Master of death threw a haymaker back catching Aldis.
Hadrian got up Looking for a Black Death Neck breaker, Nick reversed into a Michinoku Driver attempt but Hadrian slipped out Connecting with the Neckbreaker covering Aldis for a very close 2 count.
Both men laid on the Mat breathing heavily. Hadrian got to his feet first Shakily and Took position cutting his throat Indicating He was about to do a move he hadn't done in years.
Nick Reached his feet and turned into a gut kick followed by a Tombstone Piledriver Hadrian covered Nick Aldis for the One, Two, Three.
