At The Derby - Derby City Wrestling recap for September 3, 2023

We see a video package for Rocco Bellagio vs. "The Pope" Elijah Burke to start today's show.

"Outlandish" Zicky Dice beats Bryce Saturn by submission.

We see a video package chronicling the formation Myron Reed and Mickey Midas as a tag team.

Mickey Midas and Myron Reed, now known as "The Brotherhood", beat Technical Difficulties (Raheem de la Suede and "The Deliverer" Moses).

Backstage, Beck Reeves is met by Alexis Littlefoot, who gives him her business card (which does not have her phone number on it). When Beck Reeves mentions the lack of a phone number, Alexis Littlefoot says she only gives her phone number to people who are "money."

Backstage, Dane Becker interviews "The Pope" Elijah Burke and Rocco Bellagio. Bellagio says he steals every show he is in, and mentions that he and The Pope were the first two faces in Derby City Wrestling. He says that they will now face each other for the first time ever, and tonight, he will put on one hell of a show as he kicks his ass. Pope says that yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery, but right now is a gift and that is why it is called from the present. He says he is not focused on the past and that Rocco stands in front of him, and that their match is the biggest gift that the fans can have tonight.

We hear from "BHK" Kevin Marterson, who says that he will be here next week to defend the United Heritage Championship against "Dead Ringer" Aaron Williams, whom he is not taking lightly, for he is the baddest champion on this or any planet.

We look back at Ruby Raze vs. Simone Sherie from UWN Primetime Live.

Rocco Bellagio beats "The Pope" Elijah Burke. During the match, The Pope inadvertently knocks out the referee in the corner. Shortly after this, Dylan Bostic shows up and knocks The Pope out with a roll of quarters in his fist, which spill all over the ring. Rocco, dealing with the pain in a worked-on left knee, barely gets a hand over him and somehow gets the pinfall victory. After the match, Rocco notices all of the quarters on the match and realizes just what happened, and he is livid.
