WWR DARK RESULTS:
Match #1: Wildside vs. Satsujin Triad vs. Regulators Inc.
These three tag teams put on a hell of a show to kick off the action in Pittsburgh tonight. The YouTube views continue to increase more and more each and every episode of Battleground as the WWR faithful look to WWR Dark as an important companion piece to the WWR brand. This match was very fast paced and saw several near falls with all three teams almost picking up the victory. In the end, Wildside pulled off the win when they hit Ride the Lightning on Jane Adler to secure the victory.
[::The lights in the arena dim slightly as the pyro goes off and the crowd rises to its feet as Women's Wrestling Revolution comes to you live once again from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with the final edition of Battleground before the next pay per view Through Heaven and Hell. The crowd is hot and loud on a Thursday night as they are amped for another night of fantastic WWR action. The cameras pan through the crowd as the fans hold up their signs and jump up and down as you see signs like...::]
WWR FOREVER
I CAN STEP TO THE GODDESS...PICK ME ENVY!
MERCEDES IS A TIKTOK ADDICT
HALO IS NO ANGEL
And...
I'M SORRY MISS. JACKSON...DOMINIQUE IS FOR REAL
[::The official song of Battleground "Miracle by Bebe Rexha" plays over the PA Speakers as the camera cuts to the broadcast booth of Monica Powers and Alexis Rose...::]
WWR FOREVER

I'M SORRY MISS. JACKSON...DOMINIQUE IS FOR REAL
[::The official song of Battleground "Miracle by Bebe Rexha" plays over the PA Speakers as the camera cuts to the broadcast booth of Monica Powers and Alexis Rose...::]
Alexis Rose: On a night that will decide what happens when WWR goes Through Heaven and Hell! Welcome to Women's Wrestling Revolution Battleground! Coming to you live here from home of the Revolution at the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I'm Alexis Rose and I'm joined as always by my broadcast partner, Monica Powers! Monica, are you excited for Battleground tonight?
Monica Powers: I'm ready for some answers tonight, that's for damn sure! After how we went off the air two weeks ago I am VERY much looking forward to hearing from the people involved. How is Eliza feeling? How can Dominique turn on her sister in favor of Susan like that? And how does Bobbi factor into all of it? Hopefully Katrina will get to the bottom of all of that here tonight!
Alexis Rose: Well I'm sure that will be something else. But we have a lot of matches tonight with heavy pay per view implications! By the time Battleground goes off the air tonight we will indeed have plenty of New Challengers for all of the championship gold here in WWR. This should be a hell of a show! But before the wrestling gets started, I'm hearing we have one of the special sit down interviews with Katrina Showtime to kick off Battleground here tonight! Take it away Katrina!
[::The cameras pan around the Petersen Events Center as the crowd is clearly ready to go for the show tonight. But before the wrestling can start the lights go down and the tron lights up going to Katrina Showtime sitting backstage in a makeshift studio alongside the Rising Phoenix Bobbi Jackson and WWR Revolutionary Champion Eliza Frost-Showtime. Alexa Cannon stands behind them, her hand on Bobbi's shoulder gently as Katrina smiles at the cameras as she begins to speak.::]
Katrina Showtime: Ladies and gentlemen, my guests at this time. A pair I never thought I'd interview together under these type of circumstances, but here we are. Please welcome Bobbi Jackson and WWR Revolutionary Champion, Eliza Frost-Showtime. I feel like I gotta ask this immediately, Eliza...after what happened two weeks ago, how are you feeling?
[::Eliza takes a deep breathing, steeling herself to mentally revisit that unfortunate moment.::]
Eliza Frost-Showtime: I can't really say I'm happy, Katrina. I'm glad to have slipped free from Susan's yoke of oppression, free to think for myself, but I AM sorry about how things went in regards to leaving the Court. Not sorry to Susan, fuck that, but I'm sorry my sister bought into her rhetoric and turned on me, hopefully she'll eventually see what a mistake she made. I'm also sorry for what a position Jessica ended up in because of all this, she really is a friend and I feel bad for her for being caught between us so.
[::Katrina nods as Bobbi gently pats Eliza on the back.::]
Katrina Showtime: I guess we can all be grateful that Bobbi was there at the end of Broken Throne to put Susan and Dominique on their heels or who knows what might have happened to you...
[::Bobbi just remains silent, although you can tell by the look on her face just the thought of what might have happened if she wasn't there bothers her greatly.::]
Eliza Frost-Showtime: Yeah.....
[::Eliza hangs her head a bit, similar thoughts to Bobbi's now haunting her. Alexa clears her throat as she gives the slightly slumped Eliza's back a little pat too.::]
Alexa Cannon: But she WAS there, fortunately. You can always count on my doll to have your back, ain't that right?
[::Bobbi nods again as Katrina can see that this could be going dark in a hurry and tries to steer this interview in another direction.::]
Katrina Showtime: During WWR's downtime it appeared to the fans that you all were looking to mend fences and find some sort of common ground. Can you talk about that a bit, Eliza? What changed this year?
[::Eliza's expression brightens a bit as she raises her head and looks at Bobbi.::]
Eliza Frost-Showtime: I guess I just needed a while away from the influence of Susan to take the time to really think things through and sort myself out so I could realize what a mistake I was making.
Bobbi Jackson: Look...
[::Bobbi says finally speaking up.::]
Bobbi Jackson: In the heat of battle sometimes people don't see things clearly. In my heart, I always knew that Eliza was a good person. I wasn't ready and willing to just lie down and let her continue to be ruled under Susan's thumb. I truly believed if I could talk to her away from the business and all of this that she would understand what I was trying to say. And I think she sees that now, judging by where we are at this moment.
Katrina Showtime: So can we safely say that Eliza is now a member of the Phoenix Coalition?
[::Bobbi kinda shrugs.::]
Bobbi Jackson: That's for her to decide. She knows that the offer is there for her should she wish to take it. But I am never going to tell a friend what to do. I want it to be their decision one way or another.
[::Eliza's smile widens as she nods her head in agreement.::]
Eliza Frost-Showtime: I'm not quite ready to make that decision yet, I DO still have a friend and a sister in the Court after all, but... lets just say it's definitely something I'm considering regardless.
[::Katrina nods.::]
Katrina Showtime: Totally makes sense. Thank you both for sitting down with me tonight and we hope you enjoy the show since neither of you have to wrestle tonight.
[::Bobbi kinda smirks.::]
Bobbi Jackson: I'm pretty sure I'm going to enjoy this show just fine. I might not be wrestling, but I've got some things to do before the night is over.
[::Eliza and Alexa both raise an eyebrow as Battleground takes its first commercial break of the evening.::]
[::Battleground returns from commercial break as we start in the backstage area where we see the one and only spunky and lovable interviewer Katrina Showtime. She is smiling and it isn’t that long before we can see the blue haired Crystal Zdunich walking up to her. She hugs her as the two begin to smile at one another.
Katrina Showtime: Hello everyone, Katrina Showtime here with my guest at this time, who will be facing Dominique Frost in a matter of moments...none other than Crystal Zdunich!
[::Crystal smiles as she continues to hug Katrina as tightly as she possibly can. She looks right into her eyes.::]
Crystal Zdunich: Thank you so much for the welcome Katrina. We really haven’t interacted with one another in a long time but I feel like I am talking to a woman I once considered a sister. It feels so amazing to be here right now and I thank you for taking this time out to interview me.
Katrina Showtime: No Crystal the pleasure is all mine, because you have a huge night ahead of you. You could possibly be competing in two matches tonight. Do you have anything to say about what might go down this evening?
Crystal Zdunich: Listen Katrina tonight is a very pivotal point in my career. I have a woman who could practically beat anybody on the roster in Dominique Frost right in the opening match of the show. However even if I was able to get through her I still would be looking at facing the winner of Azzy or Malaya in the main event of the evening. It’s a lot of pressure but let me make something perfectly clear.
[::Crystal smiles warmly as she looks at Katrina and speaks some more.::]
Crystal Zdunich: Your brother Michael put a lot of faith in me and he told me I could be something. I know he is hoping for shades of that old Crystal to come out and I am not going to let him down. I may have let the world down when I lost the Battleground Championship but even though I lost it all hope isn’t over. It just opened the door for something bigger and I plan to be a 17 time World Champion. I will get to facing Susan Rigger and we have unfinished business. Not many people realize this but Susan and I are actually family. Susan is my cousin as we both share an Aunt in Mexico. Susan really has changed over the years and I remember us teaming up as family. Sugar and Spice and everything nice… Yet she turned away from that. What happened to Eliza last show was complete bullshit!
[::Crystal forms an uneasy expression as she continues to speak.::]
Crystal Zdunich: Even though Eliza and I may have had a run in with each other in the parking lot what happened on that SHOW was BULLSHIT… Family should never turn on one another and in my eyes this all comes from Susan… She has turned her back on me MULTIPLE TIMES… She turned the woman I considered a sister in Stephanie against me in the PAST and now I have to see this happen again?! I don’t think so… I would go THROUGH HEAVEN AND HELL to put this to rest once and for all. I love Susan because she is family but I also will stand up for what’s right. Nobody in this tournament is personally involved like I am. If Dominique faces Susan there is a thought in my head somebody will lay down for the other, and as far as Malaya and Azzy are concerned. They were in the Battleground match with me and beating either them would be redemption… This is my redemption story. I am Crystal Zdunich and it’s showtime… Time to make the most of whatever comes my way but better believe I will be ready.
[::Crystal looks right into the camera as she seems extremely focused and we go to ringside for the opening match of the evening.::]
Arianna Grey: Ladies and gentlemen, our opening contest is scheduled for one fall and is a semi-finals match up to determine the number one contendership of the WWR World Championship! Introducing first...
[::With the sound of a whip cracking and the theme of "On Your Knees by W.A.S.P." playing over the PA Speakers, the curtains are flung aside as Dominique Frost strides through them onto the stage. She stops to scan the crowd with her gaze before heading down the ramp, hips swaying side to side with each step...::]
Arianna Grey: From Montreal, Canada. Representing the Queen's Court, she is...Dominique Frost!
Monica Powers: I still can't get over what Dominique did to her younger sister at the end of Battleground two weeks ago, it seriously makes me sick!
Alexis Rose: I absolutely can't condone it. How you choose to side with Susan over your own flesh and blood? It makes no sense to me...
[::As Dominique arrives at the ring she reaches up to grab the second rope, hauling herself up as she steps right up onto the apron, then tosses a long leg over the top rope, stepping right over it as she pushes it down a bit to make the step easier. She walks across the ring and goes to climb the corner... but then dismissively gestures at the effort, instead turning around and placing her hands on her hips staring up at the ramp awaiting the arrival of Crystal...::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"Mega Man 3 Intro 8 bit remake by Video Game Music Remakers" begins to blast all across the speakers as it does so Christina Zdunich makes her way from the back curtain with her wife Seleana Zdunich. Christina smiles as she blows kisses to the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring. She slaps the outstretched hands of all of the roaring fans...::]
Arianna Grey: From Detroit, Michigan. Being accompanied by Seleana Zdunich. She is...Crystal Zdunich!
Alexis Rose: I for one absolutely hope that Crystal beats Dominique's ass tonight and heads into the finals for a chance to wrestle that World Championship away from the Suplex Queen!
Monica Powers: It's not going to be an easy match, regardless of how I feel about the Dominiqtrix...she's been on a roll lately. Will Crystal be able to finally stop her? We're about to find out!
[::Crystal quickly slides into the ring and kips up to her feet as she waves her hands in the air getting the crowd behind her. She jumps around a bit as she tosses her eye glasses to her fiancee. Seleana smiles as she catches them as she claps for her wife as Crystal looks across the ring at Dominique and sneers slightly as the referee figures its time to ring the bell to start the match up..::]
DING! DING! DING!
As the bell is rung Crystal explodes into a dash, slipping past Dominique and quite literally running circles around the tall woman, evading her grasp and sneaking in quick kicks to try and wear the stronger woman out. Emboldened by how well it seems to be going, Crystal commits to a springboard, bouncing off the ropes to soar at Dominique, but this proves to be a mistake as she is just booted right out of the air. Dominique starts pounding on the downed latina, dropping a long leg across her throat and banging Crystal's skull against the canvas.
Crystal retaliates as her leg lashes out and the kick lands on the back of Dominique's head, knocking her loopy and giving Crystal time to roll to her feet, dash at the ropes and bounce off them again, this time managing to wrap her legs around Dominique's neck as she's getting up and swing her body around to use her momentum to fling Dominique flat on her back with a Hurricanrana. The tall woman growls angrily as she gets up, but Crystal is already on her, again tryin to pepper her with quick strikes while evading any attempts to return fire.
The agile Latina scales up Dominique's back and seats herself on her shoulders, then swings her body around and down as she goes for a Mysteriorana, but Dominique plants her feet and wraps her arms around Crystal's body, stopping her dead in her tracks as she blocks the move, then swings her back up and over to send her faceplanting against the canvas. Dominique straddles Crystal's body and grips her chin, pulling to bend her body with a Camel Clutch. The referee checks on her, but Crystal shakes her head, refusing to give in. Dominique grins wickedly as apparently she's planning to enjoy this and doesn't mind the Blossoming Rose letting her play more.
Eventually Crystal manages to drag herself to the ropes and escape the hold, but it's clearly taken its toll on her as she drags herself to her feet using the ropes, only for Dominique to Clothesline her right out of the ring. The wicked blonde proceeds to follow her out and slam Crystal about into everything in sight before bringing her back into the ring, only to pick her up and fling her face first into the top turnbuckle in a Snake Eyes, leaving Crystal stunned as she slides down along the turnbuckles.
Dominique grabs Crystal and whips her body over her shoulder with seeming ease, then grabs her arms and lifts her into position for her signature Crucifix Powerbomb, the Ice Pick, before suddenly something grabs her attention. Out through the curtains bursts Bobbi Jackson, marching her way down toward the ring. Dominique just drops Crystal and leans over the ropes, pointing at Bobbi and the way she came as she yells at her, the two women engaging in a shouting match while the crowd excitedly reacts to the fan-favorite's sudden appearance.
All this clamor masks the approach of Crystal Hilton as she comes up behind Dominique, then flings her legs up and flips, grabbing hold around Dominique's waist to take the caught by surprise blonde down with a sudden Sunset Flip. Crystal kicks into another flip to bridge her body over Dominique's and firmly stack the tall woman up while the referee dives down to make the three count before the Dominiqtrix can gather herself and muster enough strength to kick out. Crystal quick rolls out of the ring while the referee calls for the bell.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, Crystal Zdunich!
[::Dominique screams in frustration as Bobbi laughs knowing her work here is done as she turns and heads into the backstage area as the referee raises Crystal's hand high in victory. Dominique looks like she's about kill someone as she storms out of the ring and up the aisle heading backstage as fast as her tall legs can carry her.::]
Alexis Rose: What goes around comes around...or so they say!
Monica Powers: Dominique was the reason Bobbi was eliminated in the opening round, its only appropriate that Bobbi returned the favor.
Alexis Rose: I guess that's what Bobbi was talking about in that sit down interview earlier on tonight.
Monica Powers: Yep! But if I'm Bobbi I'm calling this an early night and heading out of the building. No doubt Dominique is going to be looking for her. We'll be right back with more WWR Battleground right after this!
[::Once Battleground comes back from commercial break, Eve O'Donnell is standing in the ring, she's leaning in the corner, a smirk on her lips as she waits for the crowd to stop booing. She's in a pair of ripped jeans and a white t-shirt the Battleground Championship is secured around her waist. Once the boos and jeers quiet down she steps to the middle of the ring and begins to speak.::]
Eve O'Donnell: I bet you all enjoyed seeing what happened at Broken Throne, I bet a lot of you fuckwits about came in your pants seeing me almost lose my title.
[::The crowd cheers.::]
Eve O'Donnell: I admit it wasn't my best performance, I admit that if time hadn't run out I probably wouldn't still be holding this title.
[::The crowd chants "You Got Lucky"::]
Eve O'Donnell: You're right, I did get lucky….but if that means I get to keep this belt and piss you idiots off then I'm one lucky bitch!
[::She laughs as the crowd boos loudly.::]
Eve O'Donnell: But that's behind me, tonight I have a tag team match with someone I really don't like, against someone I dislike even more and someone who I don't know or care about.
[::Eve makes a disgusted face and shakes her head.::]
Eve O'Donnell: Even though I can't stand Victoria Salinas, I will for this one night work with her, I will have her back even though I really don't want to! I'd rather kick her in the back of the head and be done with her. But tonight isn't about my dislike for her.
[::She smirks as the camera focuses on her.::]
Eve O'Donnell: Tonight is about winning, plain and simple, I'm going to be honest with you, I'm glad Michael Showtime paired me with Salinas. At least I'll have a partner who knows what the hell she's doing!
[::She chuckles as the crowd cheers for Victoria.::]
Eve O'Donnell: Don't think that means I like her, because I sure as hell don't! But I can stomach working with her to accomplish the goal for tonight.
[::She gets a serious look on her face.::]
Eve O'Donnell: Diamond Caldwell, and Jenni…. Taylor….Tyler? Whatever her damn name is. The two of you, are going to see and feel what it's like to run into two women who are just better than you. Tonight Victoria and I will work together, we will be a team, and tonight y'all are gonna come up short.
[::The crowd boos again.::]
Eve O'Donnell: So be ready Diamond and Jenni, bring everything you've got, because it won't be enough. Tonight Victoria and I will have our hands raised, tonight is our night.
[::Eve puts the microphone down and begins to walk away, she puts one leg through the ropes then stops, she goes back and grabs the mic again as the crowd boos.::]
Eve O'Donnell: After tonight though…..the three of you…..let's just say that you can go back to being pretenders to MY title.
[::She laughs as she drops the mic again and exits the ring, "Broken Dreams by Shaman's Harvest" plays as she ignores the boos and insults from the crowd, as she steps through the curtain. The cameras cut backstage, we have a dimly lit dojo as our backdrop, as Malaya Diyosa, Cappadonna, and Nari Chang would be seen whilst the leader of the Triad speaks for them.::]
Malaya Diyosa: Tonight is a big night for the Satsujin Triad... Tonight is the beginning of our ascension to power. Tonight is the night of a new challenger, someone truly worthy of the WWR Championship! The ascension of a monarch to her throne...
[::Malaya said confidently, as she was out to take out the Court and take the title in the process.::]
Malaya Diyosa: When I defeat every last woman in this tournament, I am going to take my rightful place as the top woman of this company, for the Triad, and for my people. We will not bow to plastic over-inflated glamour models that could not even lace our boots on their best day! Our time is coming soon, and soon, you all may rejoice.
[::Malaya said with a confident tone, as the screen heads back to ringside for the next match up.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is the other semi-finals match up to determine the number one contendership of the WWR World Championship! Introducing first...
[::As "Radio Gaga by Queen" prominently plays throughout the arena, "The Adorkable Angel" Azurine Vebbins pirouettes onto the entrance ramp. A solitary spotlight provides an ethereal glow as she begins to descend down the ramp like an automaton practicing aerobics.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Los Angeles, California. She is, the Adorkable Angel...Azurine Vebbins!
Alexis Rose: If you ask the experts, it seems that Vebbins is absolutely favored to win it all here tonight.
Monica Powers: Azzy has been nothing short of fantastic throughout her time here in WWR. If she's being picked to win, it's for a good reason!
[::She performs various other dance steps while making her way to the eastern ring apron. Along the way, she waves, high-fives and hugs certain chanters she comes into contact with. When a chanter puckers up for a kiss, she points to her halo (neck collar). Upon entering the eastern ring apron, she glides between the bottom and middle ropes before awaiting referee instruction and her opponent for the evening.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"California Queen by WolfMother" hits, as Malaya comes out from the back with a shower of Orchid petals blown in from the wind behind her. The self-proclaimed monarch of WWR makes her way toward the ring with a confident strut.::]
Arianna Grey: From Monterrey, California. Representing the Satsujin Triad, she is...Malaya Diyosa!
Monica Powers: The leader of the Satsujin Triad coming out here alone tonight, I gotta admit I'm shocked!
Alexis Rose: Well even though we don't see them right now, you gotta know that the Triad is never far behind. Hopefully the Adorkable Angel has eyes in the back of her head tonight.
[::As Malaya enters under the bottom rope and rolled onto one knee and poses briefly in the center of the ring, and then gets up to get into Vebbins face but the referee steps in and separates them. Making both women go to their respective corners before ringing the bell and getting this match underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
The match starts out, and Azzy strikes first, using her speed to take Diosa by surprise by sprinting past her, spinning, and hitting a snap suplex on the BAEsian. Azurine leaps up, looking for a knee drop, but Malaya rolls out of the way. Vebbins rolls on impact, coming to her feet right in front of Diosa and, with a fierce barrage of slaps, chops, and elbows, forces Malaya into a neutral corner. Da Adorkabale Angel sprints out, hitting the ropes and coming back before leaping up to hit Malaya in the chest with a quick dropkick before rolling backwards and onto her feet.
Diosa slaps the mat in frustration, getting to her feet, and is cognizant enough that when Azzy tries for a second dropkick, she sidesteps, causing the dancer to hit the turnbuckles and fall to the mat. Before she can get up, Malaya gets a handful of hair, and slams Vebbins face first into the at a couple of times before holding up her hands as the referee warns her about grabbing hair. She pulls Azzy to her feet, hitting a combination of strikes before calling for her finish, but Azurine spins out, leaping up to hit a Frankensteiner.
The match continues, and though Malaya stays competitive, it looks like Azurine has her number as the two trade shots and throws back and forth from one corner of the ring to the other, pillar to post. Azzy backs Malaya into a corner, coming in with an elbow, but Malaya notices a blind spot in the referee's vision, and uses this time to strike, reaching up to rake her fingernails down Azurine’s face. Vebbins cries out, clutching at her face, and that’s all the opening the BAEsian needs, hooking Azzy up and delivering a brutal uranage before turning to jump up to the second turnbuckle and successfully execute the Butterfly Effect! She hooks Azzy’s legs, and the referee counts three, giving Malaya the victory.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, Malaya Diyosa!
[::Azurine tries to plead her case to the referee after the match but is told they can't call what they didn't see as a chuckling Malaya celebrates her victory.::]
Monica Powers: Of course Malaya takes the low road to get to the finals!
Alexis Rose: I can't say I'm surprised, we all know how the Triad operates...
Monica Powers: Sad but true, I hope Crystal kicks her butt in the main event!
Alexis Rose: We will find out soon enough! We'll be right back with more WWR after this quick commercial break!
[::Battleground returns from commercial break and we see the WWR Chaos Champion, Charlotte Haliday in the parking lot sitting on the roof of a green Toyota Rav 4. With a barbwire baseball bat in her right hand & the WWR CHAOS Championship resting on the windshield she opens the video by laughing... laughing hysterically. About thirty seconds pass. She ceases the laughter.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Brittany Williams. Like to know who you remind me of? Not your mother. I don’t care enough to know who your father is. WHO you remind me of is a bargain basement, discount version of Diamond Kate Steele. Kate... she barked ad nauseam about what she was going to do to me. How she was going to set me on fire, put me in the hospital. Make me pay for disrespecting her. Reminded me of what was supposed to define her ad nauseam. Became a bit boring. I will admit; she is a tough woman who has more than earned her reputation as a hardcore icon... her history. Her pedigree. All her boast meant nothing when my hand was raised at the end of both matches we had. When the chips were down, I reminded Kate of reality; it doesn’t matter what your reputation is, it doesn’t matter where you came from or the notches you have on your metaphorical belt, reality is a cruel fucking mistress. And her name is Charlotte Haliday.
[::Charlotte points the barbwire baseball bat at the camera.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Do you honestly believe it matters IF I drive this barbwire bat into your skin that who your mommy and daddy are; will your bloodline offer you protection? Do you believe all the confidence in the world, real or fake, will matter IF I wrap a dog collar around your neck, choke the life out of you? Do you think being a third generation wrestler will protect you from my desire to kick anyone's ass?
No. Your bloodline. Your confidence. Means absolutely nothing in the heat of battle. We all bleed the same. We all scream the same when we are in peril. The blood trickles down our face the same way when we are busted open. It is my mission to remind the world that no one in this company is special. Not even me. Don’t get me wrong. Of course Lass is special. I wouldn’t have said yes to her proposal if she didn’t mean the world to me. None of you have any earthly clue how sick and tired I am of listening to all the chirping certain people in this company do, pretending they are the most wonderful being in all the land. The Kate Steeles of the world. You Brittany. Even your rotten mother. Several of the beauty queens running around, posting all the thirst trap photos. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. If I have to, I am going to drag all you egocentric bitches down to my level.
The real world. Not a manufactured one. I am going to remind all of you one by one by one what REALITY is like. Maybe the next time you address me, you’ll avoid saying the stupidest things. Heh, I very much doubt that.
[::Charlotte licks her lips.::]
Charlotte Haliday: So Britt, welcome to my jungle. I am the predator. You’re the prey. The real world awaits Princess. This isn’t a dream. You meet reality.
[::Charlotte reaches down to grab her championship. She displays it for the camera as the scene fades to black. As the screen goes back to color we are taken back to the locker room of the Zdunich's and it is there where we are able to see Brittany Williams walking into the locker room dressed up as Ellie from the Last of Us she has a backpack and she smiles as she looks over at her wife Halo with a grin.::]
Brittany Williams: Sorry for being so late babe… It’s hard to survive in the zombie apocalypse whether if it’s the Last of Us or even a little Dead Rising action. Still didn’t stop me from stopping at Home Depot and picking up a few goodies along the way. To quote your sister babe it’s going to be so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! And to quote GOGO so cool!!!!!!!!!!
[::Brittany smiles as she opens the backpack and pulls out a bag of nails. A two by four, thumb tacks along with other stuff. She smiles as she bends down and giggles.::]
Brittany Williams: Time to show why my crafting skill is so high…
[::She begins to wrap barbed wire around a baseball bat. She holds it up grinning.::]
Brittany Williams: All I need is a badass leather jacket and you can call me Negan… I will introduce Charlotte to this vampire bat Lucille and trust me tonight she will thirst for some blood!
[::Halo nods, her arms crossed over her chest.::]
Halo: I always liked Days Gone myself, which, you’d be a dandy Deacon St. John that way. Same loner on a bike, uses whatever you can make for melee weapons, beats the shit out of freakers left and right!
Brittany Williams: Left for dead is always amazing too… Screw everybody else as long as I get to the safe room that is all that matters. Now Charlotte can run her mouth how she did this and how she has done that. It’s rare that she steps into the ring with somebody smaller than her. As a matter of fact I just might be the smallest and youngest person in the entire company but that doesn’t even matter. I am a third generation star and wrestling is in my blood. I won’t let some piece of shit get the best of me… She needs to understand I am the daughter of Crystal Zdunich… That needs to MEAN SOMETHING!!!
[::Again, Halo nods, her arms remaining crossed over her chest.::]
Halo: And what does it mean?
Brittany Williams: That I am better than most of the people in this company… I deserve better… I am on another level and I am basically an end game boss. Tonight is about gaining respect and showcasing how hardcore I can be when pushed to the limit. Charlotte thinks she is the baddest chick on the block but she clearly hasn’t met me yet…
[::Halo hugs her wife.::]
Halo: Give her hell and knock her fuckin’ dead! I believe in you!
Brittany Williams: I plan too and when I do win or lose after the hard effort I put in. Michael will have to make the make at Through Heaven and Hell a triple threat match. I will be a champion and I am going to put everything on the line to get exactly where I need to go.
[::With that Brittany can only smile as she chuckles in return looking at all of her weapons as Battleground heads to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a hardcore match and is scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit, introducing first...
[::"I Stand Alone by Godsmack" hits the PA Speakers as Charlotte Haliday hits the stage to a mixed reaction, but a strong one regardless. She has a smug grin on her face and the WWR Chaos Championship on her shoulder as the makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Las Vegas, Nevada... She is the WWR Chaos Champion, Charlotte Haliday!
Alexis Rose: Here comes the Chaos Champion in what many are calling a warm up match tonight for Through Heaven and Hell!
Monica Powers: I would guess Haliday is infact looking ahead to whatever match she has decided for at the pay per view. But I would never go into a hardcore match underestimating your opponent and I doubt Charlotte is doing that.
[::Charlotte slides underneath the bottom rope. She sits in the corner lost in her own thoughts waiting for the match to start.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::“Jump by Kriss Kross” begins to blast across the speakers. As it does Brittany Williams begins to emerge from behind the curtain being accompanied by her wife Halo. Brittany offers a wide grin as paparazzi following begin to snap photos of the two girls. Brittany grins taking in all the boos as she walks down the aisle wearing her tiara with a cape around her back. Her attire a glittering red and black mix.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Los Angeles, California. She is accompanied to the ring by Halo. She is...Brittany Williams!
Monica Powers: Oh joy...It's B-Brat...
Alexis Rose: She certainly has an ego a mile long. But if you can get past her absolutely annoying attitude she's a hell of an in-ring competitor that I think is going to give the champion everything she can handle tonight!
[::Brittany slides into the ring moving her hands through her curly hair. She takes off her tiara, and her cape. As she waits for the match to begin. Once the referee sees both women are ready to go they call for the bell to get this match underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
Haliday and Williams tie up at the opening bell, and Charlotte's distinct size advantage gives her an edge, as she powered Brittany into a standing side headlock, as she kneels her down to extend her arm for a standing armbar. Brittany was in pain, but, thought quickly, as she rolled back and gets an arm wrench applied to Charlotte. She goes for an Irish whip into the turnbuckle, however, Charlotte reversed it, as Brittany hits the pad with a thud. Haliday builds up a head of steam, charging the corner, but Brittany would get out of the ropes, forcing Charlotte to collide into the turnbuckle shoulder first. Brittany taunted, then used the position to her advantage and springboards up to the top rope and then hopped onto Charlotte's back with a Goomba Stomp.
Brittany would have momentum on her side, as she gets out of the ring to escalate things with a chair. Charlotte tries to get to her feet, though Brittany would strike her in the back with the chair to knock Charlotte back down, as she goes for a pin, but, Haliday kicked out at two.
Williams would get annoyed, as she takes Haliday over with a snapmare, and runs to the ropes. She gets momentum, looking for a low dropkick, but, Charlotte hurled the chair into Brittany, stopping her in her tracks with an echoing thud.
As she was down on the ground, Charlotte gets to her feet and positioned the chair behind her. She gets Brittney to her feet, as she propelled her backwards, as Brittney lands back first onto the chair, as she grimaced in pain. Charlotte would head out of the ring to gather a Singapore cane, and strikes Brittany in the back as she was getting up. Haliday would strike her again, and begins to ready her for a brain buster, though, Brittney would use a knee strike to free herself, and leaned down to roll her into a small package, as Charlotte kicked out at two and a half.
Haliday gets up first, and tries a lariat, but, Williams ducked and runs to the ropes to hit her with a springboard cross body. Britney would celebrate briefly, before getting the chair and seating it to go for a triple step moonsault. She runs to the ropes, but, Haliday catches her with a drop toe hold to send her face first into the chair. She would get to her feet, and tucked Brittany in, as Charlotte hits the Early Haliday, hooking the leg and getting the three count, as she is declared the victor.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, the WWR Chaos Champion...Charlotte Haliday!
[::The referee hands Charlotte her championship and raises her hand in victory before going over to check on Brittany Williams as Charlotte smirks to herself at her victory and exits the ring.::]
Alexis Rose: Chalk up another win for the Chaos Champion!
Monica Powers: Charlotte is going to be hard to stop, whoever gets out of that tables match tonight is going to have their work cut out for them at Through Heaven and Hell.
Alexis Rose: And we still don't even know what stipulation Charlotte is choosing yet, she holds all the cards...
Monica Powers: Hopefully we know what the match type is going to be before the night is over.
Alexis Rose: Agreed! If not I'll announce it on Saturday when we break down the pay per view card. We'll be right back with more WWR Battleground on Splat. Don't go anywhere!
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break with a pre-taped segment right outside of the WWR Gym in Pittsburgh, PA...::]
Juliana Mendoza: Will you hurry it up already?
[::We see Juliana Mendoza as she bosses around several people as they’re busying themselves setting up a small table and the thrones of THE #BeautificationMovement.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Did Milana really need to get in a workout during interview time? We could have just done this at the hotel.
[::Juliana’s heeled foot tapped the ground as she smoothed her skin tight black dress and looked over at her partner Cayla who was clad in a black as well, but opted for tight leather pants and a halter top along with her heels.::]
Juliana Mendoza: I get it, she’s the fighter of the team, but couldn’t she have just sat in her chair, stayed mostly silent like she normally does and then came and got in a workout?
[::The Latina princess sighed and rolled her eyes, then sat down as their chairs were finally ready.::]
Cayla Phoenix: I know, I know, it's just her thing. She gets off on it.
[::She said, rolling her eyes a bit, as she checked herself with a compact mirror. Cayla liked what she saw so far, and puts it away while showing off in leather pants and a matching halter top.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Well she needs to start getting herself off at a better time. Look, I like her and I know Grace has a soft spot for her, but WE are the ones having all the success around here and… UGH!
[::Before she can continue on, one of the various helpers tripped and sent a glass of champagne flying onto Juliana’s dress. She looked up with rage in her eyes as the young man’s stood there in shock.::]
Clumsy helper: Oh my God I am soooo sorry.
Juliana Mendoza: You’re sorry? Sorry? SORRY?
[::Juliana jumped out of her chair and started stomping her feet as she screamed.::]
Juliana Mendoza: This is a five thousand dollar dress, you incompetent moron.
[::She turned to her best friend looking to her as she tried to calm down.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Can you believe this crap? I should not have to deal with this. WE should not have to deal with this.
[::The usually arrogant and fabulous Miss Majestuoso looked on the verge of a breakdown as the crew member was frozen in place, as Cayla would hold Juliana back, and add on.::]
Cayla Phoenix: How are you even brought on?! You're the only person around more worthless than Zoe and Super Tiger! You should've been grateful for the honor of waiting on Juli and myself!
[::Cayla snapped, as she would point at the cowering backstage hand with her well manicured nail.::]
Clumsy helper: I am, I really am. Let me uh… let me go get a towel.
[::He ran off as Juliana was shaking with rage while Cayla held her back. She turned to see him running off and sneered.::]
Juliana Mendoza: HURRY UP! THIS DRESS IS WORTH MORE THAN YOUR LIFE!
Cayla Phoenix: If we see a stain on this dress, you will never work in this company again!
[::Cayla shouted, as she would turn her attention to Juliana, and hugged her.::]
Cayla Phoenix: It will be okay, Juli. Soon enough you and I will have some beautiful gold belts to accessorize with, and this will all be a distant memory.
[::She said, as Cayla tried to calm down Juliana, as Milana entered in leggings and a sports bra with a towel around her neck, as she commented.::]
Milana Radek: What is wrong? Why is Juliana all wet? Is that guy in ring assembly around?
[::She said, not exactly knowing what Juliana meant by that phrasing, as Cayla chimed in.::]
Cayla Phoenix: No, some stupid idiot moron ruined her dress, and we need to change. Since you're late, you can do our interview for us! Okay, buh-bye!
[::She said, leaving the scene, as Milana seemed a bit confused and flabbergasted by her teammates. As Cayla stepped into the limo that Grace always provided them with, Juliana turned back and looked at Milana.::]
Juliana Mendoza: You make sure to tell tiger bitch and her dumb girlfriend and that other one that the three of us will beat them tonight and then me and Cayla are taking those tag titles from them. Ugh, I can’t believe I have to leave the talking up to the muscle.
[::Juliana rolls her eyes, shakes her head and slips into the limo. She looks over at Cayla who seems to remind her that it isn’t Milana’s fault. Juliana takes a breath, nods and looks back at Milana.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Just keep it short and to the point and you will be great Milana. We’ll wait here for you. I just… I can’t let people see me in this kind of state.
[::Juliana looks ready to cry as she slides up towards her tag partner and buried her head In Cayla’s chest as she says some incomprehensible stuff about her dress and the champagne being real and expensive. Meanwhile Milana is left staring at a camera that is ready to record what she has to say.::]
Milana Radek: Ugh… once we are properly ready, we are going to how you say… break in the Tiger Pride. Redundant as that name is… lions are in prides, not tigers. As for Misti Mold-erando, I care little about a Phoenix Coalition, but, I will prove my own dominance and mangle whichever of you three step into the ring with me, because your pain will be my pleasure.
[::She said, before storming off, and going to the rest of her teammates. Battleground shifts to another pre-recorded segment as camera comes to life in a nicely decorated living room. Wrestling memorabilia adorns the walls, and on the couch in the center of the frame sit Zoe Jane and Risa Saito Jackson, also known as the Super Tiger.::]
Super Tiger: Hello WWR Universe! As many of you know, we are in a six woman tag team match at WWR A New Challenger against the Beautification Movement and Milana Radek!
[::Super Tiger looks over to Zoe and smiles, her girlfriend gently caressing the smiling beauty’s cheek.::]
Zoe Jane: On our side will be one Misti Malandro and I think you’ll find that we are going to bring some serious team work to bear on our opponents, particularly THE #PukeficationMovement who are going to be challenging the Tiger Pride for our tag titles.
[::Either woman pulls a WWR tag title belt over their shoulder, nodding at one another.::]
Super Tiger: You see, Beautification Movement, Tiger Pride is such a solid unit because we don’t stop being together once the lights go off and the show goes off the air. Zoe and I? We live this life. We support one another both in the ring, and outside of it. Even with my super busy schedule, I always know that no matter where I am or what I need, my ZJ is right here for me.
[::Super Tiger grins, rubbing her hand on Zoe’s thigh, squeezing it gently.::]
Super Tiger: We fought like hell to take these titles from the Queen’s Court. Jessica Jackson and Eden Hart were no joke, but compared to the likes of you, they sure weren’t as chatty either. They didn’t feel the need to tell us how good they were. They showed us. We brawled all over that ring for what felt like an eternity until the referee handed US these titles, and held our hands high at the end of the night.
[::Zoe squeezes Super Tiger’s hand as she narrows her eyes a bit.::]
Zoe Jane: That you would DARE to even suggest that I leave my Risa because you think anything you could possibly offer could even begin to compare? You might as well have spat in my face and called me a whore. You big mouths have written a check that your flabby asses will now have to cash and you’ll find that Tiger Pride collects such debts with interest!
[::The camera quickly pans up as Zoe stands, pulling Super Tiger along by her hand. They hold out their tag team championship belts.::]
Zoe Jane: If you want these, I recommend you focus more on working out than working your mouths. We aren’t scared of a couple bimbos with rotten attitudes.
Super Tiger: The only muscles they’ve worked on lately have been their thumbs, feeling the need to insult both of us and think that they are the superior team. Well girls, we’ve got one thing to say to that.
[::Super Tiger puts a finger to her eye, pulling down the lower lid and sticking out her tongue.::]
Super Tiger: You’re stepping into the ring with tag team royalty. We are the champions to beat around here! I could list the accolades I’ve received inside of the ring. I could shower you with everything Zoe’s accomplished. But I won’t. You know why? I’m not that kind of person. I won’t tell you why we’re better than you. But what Tiger Pride will do?
[::Risa wraps an arm around Zoe’s waist, pulling her close with a smirk.::]
Super Tiger: We’ll show you inside that ring, with Misti at our side, that Tiger Pride and the Phoenix Coalition aren’t teams you should mess with.
[::Zoe nods her head, a determined look on her face.::]
Zoe Jane: By the time we’re done with you at WWR A New Challenger, we’re going to need new challengers because you’ll be too scared to get in the ring with us again.
[::She goes to flip the bird, but knowing her sometimes fiery girlfriend well enough, Risa places a hand on Zoe’s before she can extend the finger. Zoe takes a deep breath.::]
Zoe Jane: The Tiger Pride is coming. Hear us roar.
[::The view fades out as Risa kisses Zoe’s cheek as we head back to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a six woman tag team match scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit, introducing first...
[::"Roar by Katy Perry" blares over the PA Speakers as the WWR Tag Team Champions hits the stage alongside their tag team partner and stablemate in Misti Malandro as they make their way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Representing the Phoenix Coalition...The team of Misti Malandro and the WWR World Tag Team Champions, Tiger Pride!
Alexis Rose: It's good to see Tiger Pride back at it again here in WWR! The champions tagging with their stablemate Misti tonight, all three clearly have something to prove!
Monica Powers: The Beautification Movement have really been running their mouths as late. Particularly Juliana targeting one Zoe Jane. I bet Zoe is gonna look to slap the taste out of her mouth tonight.
[::The Phoenix Coalition get into the ring as the live crowd in Pittsburgh showers the trio with cheers and praise as they strike a pose for all of them before they head to their corner and start talking strategy as they await the arrival of their opponents.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponents...
[::The lights slowly dim and turn pink as “Sour Candy by Lady Gaga and BlackPink” begins to play. With every scream, a flashbulb goes off. As the first verse begins, a gold spotlight shines down on the center of the stage and a platform begins to rise up with Juliana Mendoza and Cayla Phoenix posing back to back, and Milana Radek in the middle taking a knee. As it fully raises, rainbow pyro shoots up on either side of them. They take each other's hand and slowly walk down the ramp, teasingly blowing kisses to the fans. Milana cracks her knuckles and inserts a bright pink mouthguard with BEAUTIFICATION on it in gold lettering.::]
Arianna Grey: The team of Cayla Phoenix, Juliana Mendoza, and Milana Radek...THE Beautification Movement!
Monica Powers: Love them or hate them, the Beautification Movement has been on quite the streak since showing up here in WWR.
Alexis Rose: You're not wrong, and regardless of what happens tonight...they have already secured their tag title shot at Through Heaven and Hell. They have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain here tonight. That in my mind, makes them dangerous!
[::As Cayla and Juliana reach the bottom of the ramp, they turn and lean in like they’re going to kiss, but then each turns and kisses the others cheek. Juliana grabs the bottom rope and leaps up, doing the splits to land perfectly as Cayla blocks the camera's view by jumping up to sit on the ring apron, posing as Juliana slides into the ring. Milana goes up the steps and enters the ring Juliana pops up behind her partner with Milana joining her on the ropes. Juliana leans over the top rope as her and Cayla again tease a kiss only to laugh and flip off the camera before Cayla rolls in and they go to their corner to prepare. The referee keeps the teams on opposite sides of the ring before collecting the World Tag Team titles from Tiger Pride and calls for the bell to start the match...::]
DING! DING! DING!
The entirety of THE Beautification Movement charged forward at Tiger Pride and Misti, catching the three with running dropkicks. Juliana takes Super Tiger and tosses her to the outside as Milana takes Misti down with a spinning backfist early on, leaving Zoe Jane with the three women. Cayla hits her with a Russian leg sweep, then brings her into a sitting position, allowing Juliana to slap her as she screams “HOW DARE YOU REJECT ME! HOW DARE YOU REJECT US!” The ref quickly gets Cayla and Milana out, then has to push Super Tiger away. Juliana looks at Super Tiger and blows a kiss, then flips her off. Meanwhile, Zoe has gotten back to her feet and as soon as Juliana turns, she’s caught with an enziguri. With Juliana rocked. Zoe tags in her partner and they hit a double suplex. Tiger covers, but only gets a 1 count. As soon as Juliana is to her feet, she’s taken right back off them with an arm drag. Juliana is quickly back up though and now she catches Tiger with an arm drag. Tiger is back up just as quickly and now she catches Juliana with a Japanese arm drag. Juliana follows suit, getting to her feet, and delivering a Japanese style arm drag.
Juliana looks for a hip toss, but Tiger rolls through, lands on her feet, hits the ropes, and looks for a hurricanrana, only for Juliana to roll through. Juliana looks for a seated dropkick but Tiger rolls out of the way. Tiger looks for a La Magistral, but Juliana rolls through, hits the ropes, leaps up and delivers a flying headscissors. Unfortunately for her, Super Tiger cartwheels through hits the ropes and delivers one of her own, only to have Juliana perform a cartwheel of her own. Super Tiger looks shocked as Juliana holds up two fingers and tells her “Second Generation Lucha… BITCH!” then pokes Tiger right in the eyes, hits a snap suplex, floats over, but instead of going for the pin, she brings Tiger up and puts her into the Beautification Movement corner. Juliana tags Cayla and then looks for a double suplex, only for Tiger to scramble out land on her feet, and tag in her partner. Zoe springboards up and catches both Juliana and Cayla with a dropkick, taking them down.
Juliana rolls to the outside as Zoe covers Cayla, but only gets a 1 count. Zoe quickly pulls Cayla up and fires off a few hard forearm shots, then connects with a Northern Lights suplex. Zoe bridges up for the pin, but can only manage a 2 count. Zoe brings Cayla up and hooks her for another suplex, but Cayla blocks it, slips behind, and delivers a German suplex. Cayla bridges into the pin and manages a 2 count. Cayla pulls Zoe up and hits a hard chop, only to receive one back. Cayla fires back with another and Zoe does the same. After a third from each lady, the battle is one and they just keep lighting each other up. Cayla has a slight size and power advantage and gets the upper hand with a hard chop followed by a knee to the midsection and a pendulum backbreaker. Cayla covers, but still only gets a 2 count. Cayla brings Zoe back up and looks to put her back down with a roaring elbow, only to have it blocked. Zoe pushes Cayla back, spinning her around and allowing Zoe to connect with a kick to the midsection and a big tornado DDT. Another cover and another 2 count. Zoe pulls Cayla up and whips her into the corner of Tiger Pride. Super Tiger is tagged back in as they’re letting Misti completely recover. Zoe connects with a superkick as Tiger goes up top and hits a big frog splash. As Tiger covers, Zoe takes Juliana off the apron while Misti runs in and hits Milana with a dropkick to knock her down
ONE…TWO…THRE - KICK OUT! Super Tiger hits Cayla with a barrage of palm strikes, then finishes with a big sling blade before she tags Misti in. The mystical one steps in, brings Cayla to her feet and gets her eyes raked. Cayla whips Misti into the corner and tags in Juliana who hops over the top rope, tags Milana, then goes up top as Cayla delivers a few clubbing blows then hooks her for a dragon suplex. Juliana comes flying off with a missile dropkick as Cayla sends Misti ass over tea kettle. Milana comes in, leaps over, and grabs the legs of Misti, going for the matchbook cover. Misti kicks out at 2, then gets to her feet, a bit dazed. Milana looks to use her long legs for a spinning heel kick, but Misti manages to duck it and hits a short burst spear when Milana turns back. Misti shakes the cobwebs, sets and when Milana gets up, she’s taken down by a shoulder tackle as Misti explodes out of the three point stance. Misti’s momentum carries her towards the corner and she quickly hops up to the middle rope. Milana is now the one that’s dazed and Misti takes advantage with a big double axe handle. Misti makes the cover. ONE…TWO…THR - KICK OUT!
Misti pulls Milana up and positions her for the Cowgirl Clockout. As Misti starts to run, Milana manages to slip off her back and stumbles backward into the corner. Misti charges in for a clothesline, but Milana moves out of the way and grabs the ref, allowing Juliana to spray Misti with some of their perfume. Thing brings Super Tiger and Zoe in as they go after Juliana. Tiger runs with a spear that takes her and Juliana through the ropes as Zoe and Cayla meet in the middle of the ring and start brawling. With Misti blinded Milana hits the spinning backfist and then leaps up, catching Misti with the guillotine choke right in the middle of the ring. Cayla and Juliana rake the eyes of their opponents at the same time outside the ring and Cayla tosses Zoe into the barricade as Juliana sprays Tiger with the perfume and then hits Tiger with the Beauty Mark. As Milana applies the body scissors, she starts to sort of grind against Misti, pulling her head down even further while Cayla and Juliana pull Zoe up and then put her back down with the Facial Reconstruction. Misti tries and tries to escape the submission, but she can’t even see that she’s too far from the ropes for any hope of a break. She tries to twist and turn. But Milana uses her long limbs for leverage and forces the mystical one to tap out.
Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, the team of Milana Radek, Cayla Phoenix, and Juliana Mendoza, THE Beautification Movement!
[::The crowd boos loudly at this outcome as Milana stands up in dominant fashion as Juliana and Cayla join her in the ring...::]
Alexis Rose: I'm so sick of the damn perfume shit!
Monica Powers: Perfume in the eyes is incredibly dangerous! Something had to be done about this...
Alexis Rose: Well hopefully Tiger Pride will be ready for this at Through Heaven and Hell!
Monica Powers: Well one could only hope, the Beautification Movement has ALL the momentum right now it seem like!
Alexis Rose: That's true, well I'm not ready to count out Tiger Pride yet. We will see these two teams square off at Through Heaven and Hell! We'll be right back folks!
[::WWR Battleground returns with the scene of the burned out throne…Anya Lebeaux sits upon it again this week, the charred remains crumbling to the floor.::]
Anya Lebeaux: Where power exists, loyalty is always tenuous…
[::She grins.::]
Anya Lebeaux: Did I really expect the Queen’s Court to exile one of their own two weeks ago? It was certainly not an unlikely prospect. For wherever people bandy about for a fragile grip on some power, there will be betrayals. This has brought blood against blood, and will continue to do so. And yet, my road appears to be splitting from the revolution to… something a little more up my alley… Chaos.
[::Anya sits back on the throne. Smirking.::]
Anya Lebeaux: Six women. Five tables. One will be left standing, and she shall challenge for the WWR Chaos Championship. I do not fear the cold break of a table under my body. I am built for a far greater purpose than my opponents. But I know that Charlotte Haliday is paying attention. I know she will have chosen her stipulation with care and would hate to see it wasted on the unworthy. That is why I shall ensure that only a worthy challenger will emerge from the battlefield.
[::She grins again.::]
Anya Lebeaux: If I have to drive all five of my opponents through the tables myself, I will make sure that special stipulation, Charlotte… that little dream you conceived in your mind… does not get wasted on the weak.
[::The scene shifts to the catering area and it is in that very area where we are able to see the female band the Gem Stones. Sapphire and Emerald are eating cupcakes as Ruby cracks a very wide grin. She runs her hands through her long blue hair as she begins to speak.::]
Ruby: Hello to everybody watching wherever you might be. I am going to present to you the only real rock chick in wrestling today. A woman who is making a movie and a woman who is showcasing herself to be one of the best women wrestlers in the world today! I give to you a woman who can only be defined as truly OUTRAGEOUS! She is the Siren, the Diamond in the rough, my dearest cousin Diamond Steele!!
[::Diamond slowly walks into the view as her eyes meet with that of the cameras. She nods her head as she begins to speak.::]
Diamond Steele: Thank you for that introduction and tonight it’s all about naming a new challenger for the Chaos Championship. A lot is on the line in this Table Elimination match. Six women all are walking into this match with one thought on their mind. They want to be the last woman standing and showcase they have what it takes to go to Through Heaven and Hell, and take on Charlotte. Now I am going to be absolutely blunt when I say she is worthy of all the respect. Charlotte lives up to the hype and she is on an absolute tear since the very beginning.
[::Diamond smirks as she continues to speak.::]
Diamond Steele: She has had a stranglehold on that Championship from the very beginning and I have had my share of battles with Charlotte. We have been to hell and back, and even though I have been on the losing side of things. By the time our last battle was done with we came to respect one another. We have established mutual respect and that is something that is hard to come by in this business. A woman like me has made her entire career by being established as a hardcore warrior. With every single company that I have been it has always been me winning a Hardcore Championship. I can proudly say I am a nine time champion and winning a tenth one right here in WWR would be amazing.
[::She takes a breather as she continues to speak.::]
Diamond Steele: And on top of that to do so against Charlotte would be a dream come true. Our business with one another goes back to the original tournament from WWR before it took a break and it damn sure NEEDS to continue to today. I am not going to let five other women get in my way of having a final showdown with Charlotte. The last time Charlotte and I fought it was with Lassindra and it seemed to be a three way affair but I grew up being a trust fund brat. I will admit that I am a bit selfish so if you don’t mind me I want to have Charlotte all to myself and I won’t stop until I get exactly that…
[::Ruby nods her head.::]
Ruby: My cousin is truly outrageous!
Diamond Steele: That could be a word but one thing I do know is it will take a lot to survive in a match like this. Putting five women through tables seems absolutely crazy but I have always been one to do things on the crazy side. I never think things logically and I won’t let anybody take my moment from me. For everyone in this match they will be looking for positioning. They will be trying to reach to the very top. They will want to push ahead one another and my only saving grace is the fact that it is a table match. I love table matches. They are my absolute favorite and I won’t hesitate to put a few of these women through tables. I want to see bloodshed and the carnage of broken bodies in a wreckage of wood is the true music to my ears. It’s a sweet melody and you can’t find great music like that. Dominique thought she ended my world when she beat me. I was crushed beneath a table. I felt like I was worthless and she pretty much disposed of me at ease but this is the redemption. This is the second chance and I plan to mark my way to the PPV. So bring whoever you want. If I need to go through five people to prove a point so be it… This is my story and the thought of me losing would simply be…
Ruby: OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
Diamond Steele: So bring whatever you have ladies… I will be waiting!!!
[::Diamond smirks as she joins the rest of her friends in catering as we go elsewhere. We see inside of the Yellow Rose Saloon, as Jane and Sadie were a bit discouraged with their recent losses, and downing a couple shots to try and pick themselves up. Meanwhile, Daria entered the saloon with a saunter, as she ordered from the bartender.::]
Daria Dorsey: Just a water on the rocks. Unlike these losers, I'm not going to poison myself before my performance tonight.
[::She said with a snide comment, as Sadie would look over at her an annoyed look on her face.::]
Sadie Cassidy: What's your problem, thinking you can come into our establishment acting like you run the place?
Daria Dorsey: Well, my problem is that you two managed to let The Beautification Movement pin you, instead of Jessica or myself. Those were /our/ titles for the taking.
[::She said, raising her voice at Sadie, before adding on.::]
Daria Dorsey: But you two drinking after your little dark match, acting like you're supposed to be this great team... wasting roster space for people who deserve it. You're just lucky that I'm going to be the number one contender for the Chaos Championship, or else I'd have to boot you out of here myself.
Sadie Cassidy: If you can even make it to the ring!
[::Sadie said, as she was about to charge at Daria, but, Jane holds her back to stop a fight.::]
Jane Adler: Hey, hey, chill out! No need to fight in the bar...
[::Jane said, trying to defuse the situation, as Daria walked back, agitating her further.::]
Daria Dorsey: Yeah, listen to your friend! After all, you're both losers, and I'm a natural born winner. Maybe you should watch my match and take notes.
[::She said, mocking them as she sauntered through the saloon doors, whilst Sadie had a look saying she wanted to pummel her, as Battleground returns to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is an elimination Tables match with no time limit, the last remaining woman will become the number one contender for the WWR Chaos Championship! introducing first...
[::"Opulence by Brooke Candy" hits over the PA system, as the fans begin to boo as the lights dim and all that can be see is the light of a cell phone as a seflie cam appears on screen. It is none other than Miss Social Media Mercedes White who gives a duck face as she takes selfies for the whole audience to see. As they boo the young arrogant Englishwoman who takes it stride telling the fans to make sure they follow her, and smash that like button. Mercedes soon begins feigning to take selfies with members of the audience but then pulls away saying they aren't worthy and snapping another one with just herself.::]
Arianna Grey: From London, England. She is...Mercedes White!
Alexis Rose: Allow me to firmly press that dislike button!
Monica Powers: Haha! Yeaaaaa... Mercedes is something else ain't she? She truly believes the world of social media revolves around her. It's crazy!
[::Mercedes laughs to herself as she keeps up her strut down to the ring taking the time to keep taking selfies before entering the ring and posing in the center of the ring. And take a few more selfies as she then sits on the top turnbuckle crossing one leg over the other as she reminds the fans once again to press the like button, and follow her. She then begins checking out her phone which can be assume that shes checking on her various social media platforms.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::The opening guitar strums of "Marching on Versailles by Ad Infinitum" plays as the lights go out around the arena. As the drums kick in, Anya Vespers steps out atop the stage, bathed in a red spotlight and clad in her ring gear along with a black hooded cloak. As the hard rock sounds stop, she pushes the hood off her head, approaching the ring. She does not take a moment to turn and look to the crowd, her amber eyes fixed on the ring as she walks.::]
Arianna Grey: From Lafayette, Louisiana. She is...Anya Lebeaux!!
Monica Powers: Anya has been rather outspoken lately after being bounced in the opening round of the world title tournament last week, including some stern words for Dominique Frost and the other members of the Queen's Court!
Alexis Rose: She's a brave one for certain, Monica. For her sake, she best hope she's not getting in over her head. That's a numbers game I wouldn't want to attempt to get involved in...
[::Anya moves around the ring, climbing up the steps to the apron before stepping in the ring. Once in, she drops to her knees, unclasping her cloak and pushing it off behind her, leaving her in her ring-gear, turning her eyes to the stage awaiting the rest of her opponents.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::The hard synthetic beats of "Dirt by Tobacco ft. Aesop Rock" play out through the arena speakers, the glitch-sounding synthetic sound glitching through the speakers as an image of a static-filled forest fill the entrance ramp's video screen. Through the fog, a silhouette can be seen as Aurora Ray gets down on her knees, looking as if in prayer as the first few lyrics of the song play out through the arena.::]
INTO DUST, WE GO
DIRT, GUM, HAIR AND SNOW
INTO DUST, WE GO
DIRT, GUM, HAIR AND SNOW
[::Ray emerges from the fog, a wide smile on her face as she tries to play to a crowd that clearly has no interest in doing so.::]
Arianna Grey: From Denver, Colorado. She is...Aurora Ray!
Monica Powers: We haven't heard much from the mysterious Aurora Ray the past few weeks, she is certainly one to look out for...
Alexis Rose: The old saying goes, actions speak louder than words. And I wouldn't be surprised if she puts a bunch of people through tables tonight!
[::Aurora shrugs as she forward rolls down the ramp, landing on her knees and throwing her arms up in the air as the forest on the screen lights up with 'flames.' She springs to the apron, pulling herself up and onto the ropes, before springing into the center of the ring. She enters a sitting position, posing for a camera as it comes up close and pressing her fist under her chin with a vacant smile before drawing a 'line' across her throat with her thumb as the trio await their next opponent.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::As "Applause by Lady Gaga" hits the speakers, the crowd pops as Kiera Smith walks out onto the stage, nodding and clapping in line with the beat. She grins, walking down the ramp and slapping the outstretched hands of fans...::]
Arianna Grey: From Central Coast, NSW, Australia...She is, Kiera Smith!
Alexis Rose: Smith has had a rough go here since arriving here in WWR. But sometimes it takes a while to get adjusted to a new company and roster.
Monica Powers: She's a hell of a talent Alexis. A few losses don't define an entire career. Win or lose here tonight, I see big things in Kiera's future here in WWR!
[::Kiera stops just in front of the ring, continuing to nod with the music. She walks to the side of the ring, climbing up onto the apron and stepping one leg inside before turning and looking out over the crowd before winking into the hard cam. She steps the rest of the way inside, standing on the bottom rope and looking out at the crowd on each side of the ring before going to her corner and waiting for the match to begin.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::"Diamond and the Gem Stones" begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain with a microphone in her hand alongside her cousin Ruby Steele. She sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring cheers. Diamond smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more cheers.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Tampa Bay, Florida. She is...Diamond Steele!
Monica Powers: Diamond Steele opened Battleground tonight with a live concert. I can't help but question if her focus is truly on the task at hand tonight?
Alexis Rose: She's been known to be able to balance both, but with such an important match up looming tonight it will be interesting to see if trying to balance both of her careers proves to be her ultimate downfall tonight!
[::Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::The Iconic hook of "Still by Geto Boys" would play, as Daria has a slow strut toward the ring, looking to put the hurt on whoever she shares a ring with.::]
Arianna Grey: From Rochester, New York. She is representing the Queen's Court...Daria Dorsey!
Alexis Rose: I suppose that Daria has all but replaced Eliza's spot in the Queen's Court now?
Monica Powers: I guess so? And I'm sure Susan would prefer to bring more championship gold back to the group after kicking out the Revolutionary Champion, the Chaos title would be a great start if Daria can avoid going through a table tonight to earn a shot at Through Heaven and Hell!
[::Daria enters through the middle rope and posed, bowing to the crowd and looking up with a smirk as the referee looks at all six women before calling for the bell to start what will absolutely be a crazy match.::]
DING! DING! DING!
All six women are standing inside the ring as they glance at one another. The bell sounds loudly as the six way elimination table match comes to a start. Diamond quickly rolls out of the ring as she talks things over with her cousin Ruby. They look at everyone else. Mercedes seems disgusted as she begins to pull out her phone and sends out some tweets. Aurora doesn’t waste any time as she grabs a table and slides it into the ring. She takes another one and pushes that into the ring as well. Kiera lifts up a table and begins to set it up. She focuses on Mercedes and quickly throws her towards the table. White manages to jump onto the table as she leaps off of it with a cross body in an attempt to hit Daria. Daria is able to catch her in the middle of air and sends her down to the mat with a scoop slam. Mercedes grabs at her back in pain and Anya lifts up the other table and sets it up in the corner.
Anya looks over at Kiera and grabs her from behind. She quickly slings her backwards with a German Suplex. Kiera reaches for her shoulders in pain as Anya makes it back to her feet. She grabs Kiera and yanks her up to her feet. Kiera throws an elbow backwards. It catches Anya right in the face and Kiera grabs the table pulling it out of the corner and setting it up in the ring. She rolls Anya onto the table and begins to ascend to the top rope. She smirks as she looks for her Apollo’s Fall Shooting Star Press. Anya however is able to get up at the last second and when Kiera is on her way down that is when Anya stands up and nails Kiera wih her Trojan Horse (RKO Outta Nowhere) right through the table. The crowd cheers loudly as Kiera has been taken right out of the match.
The referee checks on Kiera as Daria yanks Mercedes up who has been putting up quite the fight. Daria is vicious as she lifts Mercedes up high into the air with her spinebuster and sends her right down onto the table. Mercedes is driven right through it and is a heap in the wreckage as we are now down to four women. Outside the ring Diamond and Ruby are actually double stacking tables. Aurora looks outside of the ring as she keeps her eyes on Diamond. Ruby points to Aurora. Aurora steps onto the apron and Diamond has a chair in her hand and slams it hard against the body of Aurora. Aurora leans against the ropes. Diamond jumps onto the apron she grabs Aurora and leaps off with a Diamond Cutter sending the woman and herself through two tables. Both women are out of it as they are in the wreckage but Diamond’s offensive move has eliminated Aurora out of the match. We are now down to three women.
Ruby checks on her cousin trying to help her. Meanwhile inside the ring Daria and Anya glance at one another as they both look at one another and Anya slides out of the ring and pushes a table inside the ring. Daria sets it up and the two women glance at one another and fight each other. The two engage in a fist fight with one another. Anya gains the upper hand and sends her to the corner. She lifts Daria up setting her up at the top of the turnbuckles. The two are fighting one another as Daria hits a punch and Anya begins to teeter. Anya fits back as Daria teeter, Both women keep their eyes on the table as they refuse to give the other an inch. Both women seem to be evenly matched as they are giving each other all they have.
Diamond however is able to move as she quickly jumps onto the apron. She looks at the two fighting at the top of the turnbuckle. She climbs onto the turnbuckle from the outside of the ring and with everything she has she pushes them both. Both women try to keep their balance but they can’t as they both go through the table at the same time. Diamond smiles as the bell sounds loudly. She steps into the ring and Ruby quickly slides into the ring holding her cousin’s arms in the air. The referee checks on Anya and Daria as Diamond smiles making a belt motion.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, Diamond Steele!
[::As soon as the match is over the lights go out. They don’t stay out for long. Soon as they come back on, on the big screen, we can see Charlotte Haliday backstage. She waves.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Hello Kate. Can’t seem to get rid of you can I?
[::She winks.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Ironic ain’t it? I was thinking about you earlier. My grandmother told me about speaking your future into existence. Never paid attention. I compared Brittany Williams to you. Lo and behold, you win. My grandmother was half right. Whenever you have told the world you’re going to beat me, well, that hasn’t happened. Maybe the third time will be a charm. Or I am getting way too big for my britches. Least I know for absolute certain you are going to bring the fight. In that respect, you won’t let me down. Enough of this. You’d love to know what our match is going to be.
[::Charlotte pauses for dramatic effect.::]
Charlotte Haliday: This is a double bit of irony by the way. I knew as soon as this elimination match was announced; my decision for the fate of my opponent didn’t require much thought. In our many back and forths earlier this year, I remember you saying something to the effect you need gasoline, matches, and a table to set me on fire. No... we’re not going to fight in a flaming table match. However, I will give you the chance to set me on fire. Because... at Through Heaven and Hell, despite me not being a huge fan of playing up the theme of any event, we have come full circle. The only way to win this match Kate, is to set your opponent on fire. It will be you versus me... in an INFERNO MATCH!
[::Charlotte smiles. The crowd inside the arena can’t quite believe what they just heard.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Will the third time be a charm, Kate or... like Batman, no matter what you put me through, I’ll always beat The Joker. Hashtag Charlotte Always Wins.
[::Charlotte waves one more time. The big screen goes out leaving Steele to ponder over what she just heard.::]
Alexis Rose: AN INFERNO MATCH!??!?!
Monica Powers: We truly are going through Heaven and Hell!
Alexis Rose: Can we get a commentators table further away from the ring for the pay per view?!
Monica Powers: Hah! Boss if you're listening please consider! We'll be right back after this quick commercial break!
[::WWR Battleground returns with another pre-recorded video, Diamond Caldwell can be seen in the WWR official gym laying down on a weight bench gripping a barbell. Huge slates of weight can be seen on both sides of the bar. She takes a deep breath.::]
Diamond Caldwell: Welcome to my workout. It is not easy being WWR’s supreme athlete. You have some strong women. You have speed demons. You have women who are so agile you think to yourself how is this even possible? Well. No one on the WWR roster has the total package of attributes going for them... like me!
[::Diamond Caldwell elevates the barbell off the rest. She brings the barbell down to her chest, holds it, pushes the barbell back up. She repeats this motion eight times at a methodical pace. Taking a deep breath she sits up. She looks straight into the camera.::]
Diamond Caldwell: My overall athletic prowess is the reason why I am one of the toughest women to put down in this industry. Ask around... not in this company, no one has put me down. As much as Victoria loves to share her feelings with you all and Eve created a persona she can’t possibly live up to. Your girl, dat girl, Diamond Caldwell is the realest woman in this match. I don’t have to call myself a Goddess... sorry... call myself The Goddess, did I get that right? Like the other 90000000 other women in the history of wrestling call themselves Goddesses. I don’t need to be a woman who has this unshakable urge to suck the life out of pretty much everyone.
I know how good I am. Eve, you don’t need to be impressed girl. I don’t need your approval. I don’t need you to sing my praises. We both know what almost happened. You can claim it eats me alive. Duh. I should be champion. You have pretty much shown girlfriend, coming with seconds of losing the Battleground Championship bothers you. All I am going to say to both of you tonight, try not to kill each other. Ok? Unlike both of you I am not worried about who my partner is. I believe one thousand percent in my ability to show and prove. I could team with a literal broom and smack around both of you. I am not worried at all if Jenni brings it or not. One thing in life that is certain, whose dat girl whose coming to whoop both y'all asses.
[::Diamond rises to her feet. She turns around. She smacks her ass.::]
Diamond Caldwell: Diamond is dat girl.
[::Diamond rises to her feet. She turns around. She smacks her ass. She walks off screen as the show cuts to the locker room where Victoria Salinas is in a surprisingly determined mood. She’s not exactly in the most favorable situation, of that she’s definitely aware of, but despite the situation that she’s in, she doesn’t appear to be deterred at all. She seems to be taking things in stride knowing that there’s no use in trying to make any mountains out of a molehill. In fact, not even watching the ending of the triple threat match appears to be bringing her down as she begins to express her thoughts.::]
Victoria Salinas: I’m going to tell everyone the straight truth about how I’m feeling, because anything less is a violation of my own personal integrity. I wasn’t happy about how things ended two weeks ago. I wasn’t happy when I first found out that I have to team with Eve O’Donnell tonight. Note the key word: wasn’t. This isn’t to say that I’m suddenly looking forward to having to work with Eve, this isn’t to say that I’m just going to let two weeks ago slide… this is me saying that I’m not going to hang on to stuff the way I had been doing before. I’ve realized that I’ve had to carry a better attitude about how things go on, even if sometimes, these things aren’t necessarily favorable to me. That time limit sure as hell wasn’t. This match sure as hell isn’t. But is that going to stop me from going out and doing what I need to do? Absolutely not. That’s the beauty of being mature and having an epiphany every once in a while. I know when I’ve fucked up… and I’m no longer afraid to admit it.
I’m no longer going to be repeating the same patterns over and over that put me in the same hole again and again. The Victoria from before would have gone on this massive victim rant about two weeks ago and continued to show a sense of entitlement… and she would’ve expressed complete disgust about having to team up with someone she can’t stand. But that’s the Victoria from before…She’s gone…I used to worry about getting older… but… now I see how my age gives me the biggest advantage of everyone involved in this… because I have a greater perspective than the rest of them…
I wasn’t kidding when I said that Eve was just a younger me… no matter how much she hates it…
I know she can’t stand me. The sad thing is, someone with her talent has to resort to name calling and making herself much bigger and much scarier than she actually is and shows traces of being more of a coward when things don’t go her way. I mean… she talked SO MUCH going into that triple threat… for it being as repetitive as it was, having to remind the world day after day how much of a ‘goddess’ she supposedly is… but when two weeks ago happened? When Diamond basically bitch slapped her all over the RevWire? SILENCE! Don’t get me wrong… a silent Eve is very pleasant but…
[::Victoria takes a pause, lets out a deep breath and even has a chuckle to herself.::]
Victoria Salinas: ...talk about showing how fragile someone really is… and that’s an unfortunate disadvantage I have on my end tonight.
I don’t have too much to say about Jenni. She’s been mainly on the quiet side and seems to be happy with being a side player in all this. I can’t say I blame her though considering she wasn’t involved in any of this, but I know that she’s following Diamond’s lead… and speaking of Diamond… I can’t seem to get away from her can I? I’m not a fan of hers, granted, she dislikes me a lot stronger than I dislike her, but… what more can I really say about her that hasn’t been said? She’s just doing her thing being on the quiet side… just like everyone in this match other than me. She and Jenni may be on a better page and all, and Diamond may think that I’m focused on the wrong things… but… I’m not.
The last thing that I am thinking about is “building momentum”. I know… it’s wild… but focusing on momentum when it’s only one match… when said match is not going to determine who wins the four way… it’s not going to get me anywhere. The one thing that I need to focus on is doing what I do best… no matter what odds are against me… and at the proper time… I’m going to emphasize that… but for now? I’ve got to work with what I got. It may not be pretty… but I’ve made a career of making something out of nothing…
[::Victoria maintains this positive, poised perspective as she exits the locker room… showing no signs of worry as the show heads back to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit, introducing first...
[::The arena speakers play the chorus of "Shatter Me by Lindsey Sterling ft. Lzzy Hale" and the crowd has a loud, positive reaction when Victoria Salinas appears on the stage. Victoria gives a quick salute to the crowd to acknowledge the reaction she's getting as she starts to make her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Introducing first, from Columbia Falls, Montana. She is...Victoria Salinas!
Monica Powers: I don't have a lot of faith in this match going smoothly tonight, I can't lie...
Alexis Rose: Eve and Victoria are about as friendly as each other as Batman and the Joker. We'll be lucky if they don't try to take each other out here before the night is over.
[::Arriving at ringside, Victoria pauses for a split second and collects herself to soak it all in. She enters the ring and stands on the second rope to soak in and acknowledge even more cheers from the crowd, saluting them by pointing in their direction and making a symbol of a heart with her hands to acknowledge the love she has for her fans. She comes off the second rope and leans against the corner, awaiting the arrival of her tag team partner tonight...the reigning and defending WWR Battleground Champion.::]
Arianna Grey: And her tag team partner...
[::Smoke fills the entrance as "Broken Dreams by Shaman's Harvest" plays. Eve steps out through the smoke, in a leather vest and Sunglasses with the WWR Battleground Championship over her shoulder. She completely ignores the booing crowd as she makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From Virginia Beach, Virginia. She is the WWR Battleground Champion, The Goddess...Eve O'Donnell!
Monica Powers: And here comes the woman with the target squarely on her back, Eve O'Donnell.
Alexis Rose: It's part of what it means to hold championship gold here in WWR. You immediately become a target, Eve is no different. But I think it was absolutely something she prepared for ahead of time going in.
[::Eve enters the ring. She climbs the second turnbuckle and raises her championship above her head. She smirks as she enjoys the sound of the boos. She steps down and gets in Victoria's face jaw jacking her own partner as the referee has to separate the two women and remind them that they are tag partners tonight.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponents...
[::The chorus to “I Am Fire by Halestorm" is the first thing the audience hears. Bursting through the curtain is Diamond where a white tracksuit with red trim. She stands for a moment soaking in the reaction the crowd is giving her. She dusts imaginary dirt off both shoulders.::]
Arianna Grey: Introducing first, from Compton, California. She is...Diamond Caldwell!
Alexis Rose: Who's that girl? Diamond is that girl and she COULD be the next WWR Battleground Champion!
Monica Powers: She certainly has a good shot at it, and if she could score a pinfall on the champion tonight that would be momentum going into the pay per view!
[::Skipping down to the ring she reaches the apron, slides under the bottom rope. She crawls to the center of the ring, rolls over on her back and knips up. She rips off the tracksuit to reveal black tights with a matching top. Spinning around for the camera we see “Megastar” in silver lettering on the back of her tights. Backing up to the corner the ref checks to see if she is hiding any illegal objects as her music fades out and she waits for her tag team partner for the night to arrive.::]
Arianna Grey: And her tag team partner...
[::“Breaking the Walls by Hysterica” starts and Jenni Taylor is led through the entryway by her younger sister, Kelly Taylor. The two make their way to the ring...::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in New Orleans, Louisiana. Being accompanied by Kelly Taylor, she is...Jenni Taylor!
Monica Powers: Here's the wildcard in everything that's going on right now, none other than the recently returning Jenni Taylor!
Alexis Rose: Jenni has made the most of her pro wrestling return here in WWR so far and now she finds herself competing for championship gold with three other women who clearly hate one another, I wonder if that will give her any type of advantage in two weeks time?
[::Jenni climbs inside as Kelly stays at ringside, clearly ready for whatever may come as she and Diamond exchange a nod seemingly of respect for one another as the referee allows each team to decide who starts the match before calling for the bell.::]
DING! DING! DING!
From the moment the bell rings, it is apparent that there is no love between Victoria and Eve as the women bicker over who will start this match. Finally, with a scathing look, Victoria backs out through the ropes, and Eve holds her arms wide. Diamond Caldwell starts for her team. While those two women certainly aren’t the best of friends, they aren’t anywhere near as combustible as their opponents.
Eve comes in on Diamond, shoving the rookie backwards and making a motion across her midsection while mouthing ‘I’m the champ’ with a smirk. Caldwell responds with a resounding smack, stunning the Battleground Champion long enough for the rookie to offer a boot to the midsection and a sharp DDT before dragging O’Donnell back into her teams corner, reaching out to tag Jenni Taylor. The two of them nod to one another, hooking Eve for a double suplex, but the Goddess blocks, reversing her grip and delivering a double DDT to her opponents.
She rolls away as the other team looks to gather themselves, rising on shaky legs to reach out a hand to her partner. Victoria reaches her hand out nodding enthusiastically, but just as Eve swings for the tag, Salinas pulls her hand back, shaking her head as she hops back off the apron. O’Donnell hangs over the top rope, screaming at Victoria to come back, but her future challenger shakes her head, laughing as she backs up the ramp. Eve turns around just in time for Jenni Taylor to hit Start Me Up before diving into a cover to pick up the pinfall victory for her team.
Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, the team of Jenni Taylor and Diamond Caldwell!
[::Diamond and Jenni celebrate their victory seemingly on the same page for the moment as Eve sits up seething with anger staring daggers at Salinas as this fatal 4 way match is heating up...::]
Monica Powers: The champ just got pinned! If this happens in two weeks, we have a new Battleground Champion!
Alexis Rose: This match is going to be insane, will Eve be able to escape with her title? Or will tonight repeat itself in two weeks!?
Monica Powers: Every woman in that four way is capable of leaving with that championship! I'm sure this match is going to be something special.
Alexis Rose: I couldn't agree with you more. We'll be right back with more WWR Battleground right after this!
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial and we go to a pre-recorded segment with the words "Earlier today" in the corner of the screen as the camera shows Christina Zdunich, Seleana Zdunich, Zenna Zdunich, Haylie Jo “Halo” Annis, Jenni Taylor and Kelly Taylor in their family dressing room.::]
Seleana Zdunich: WWR Dark, ja?
[::Zenna shrugs as she looks at their other family members in the room.::]
Zenna Zdunich: Regulators, Inc and Satsujin Triad. Perhaps the Triad actually does more here than they did in the last place we saw them?
[::Seleana shrugs.::]
Seleana Zdunich: Perhaps.
[::Jenni Taylor frowns.::]
Jenni Taylor: Had a go with them already then?
[::Zenna shrugs.::]
Zenna Zdunich: Sort of…
[::Halo almost laughs.::]
Halo: They came into Galactic/Southern Rebellion, made some noise and then vanished during one of the many regime changes.
[::Jenni nods.::]
Jenni Taylor: So they didn’t get on with management and took their leave?
[::Seleana and Zenna both nod knowingly.::]
Seleana Zdunich: They started a gang war that never came to a proper conclusion.
Zenna Zdunich: Well, the other gang kind of poofed as well, ja?
[::Halo can’t stop herself from laughing this time.::]
Halo: I don’t think y’all’d have that problem here. Them dogs seem ready to hunt this time.
[::Jenni nods slowly.::]
Jenni Taylor: I missed so much bein’ off my face…
[::Her sister leans over and hugs her.::]
Kelly Taylor: These things happen. It’s true, you missed a lot and you cannot change that but you can change how your story goes from here, yeah?
[::Jenni nods slowly.::]
Jenni Taylor: Yeah, especially with Diamond Caldwell as a partner to have a go at a proper champion and Victoria Salinas but I do wonder one thing about Salinas. Why does she always seem to be having a go at a dead woman?
[::Zenna exhales heavily.::]
Zenna Zdunich: Because Arabella Madison was family and should have been one of the greatest of all time. I made my return in an impromptu open challenge match against her on a pay-per-view in Hybrid Wrestling nearly three years’ time ago. Arabella was just this close…
[::She holds her hand, her index finger and thumb mere millimetres apart.::]
Zenna Zdunich: To being a top star in the company. She won that night but quickly talked and complained her way out of the company. She changed her name and her persona many times, never finding the success she thought she deserved. Sadly, she never seemed to have the patience required go where she wanted to go and in the end, it seemed she…
[::Zenna trails off and everyone in the room sadly nods in agreement.::]
Jenni Taylor: God bless her soul, may she rest in peace. I hope I can give it a good go then with Diamond against her cousin and the champ.
[::Kelly grins.::]
Kelly Taylor: Who dat?
Zenna Zdunich: Who dat?
Seleana Zdunich: Who dat?
Halo: Who dat?
Christina Zdunich: Who dat girl dat gonna team with Jenni? Diamond dat girl!
[::Halo grins.::]
Halo: I got me a tall order in front me, don’t I? Jessica Jackson, Jonna Austin, Sarah Richardson, Chesty Larue and Miss Lassindra for a shot at the Revolution Championship…
[::Zenna grins as does Seleana.::]
Zenna Zdunich: You seem to have a soft spot for the rather large Russian, ja?
Seleana Zdunich: Was she not the one who helped you train to face Ursula Von Rossbach?
[::Halo nods.::]
Halo: She was at that. She’s a damn tough cookie. So’s Jonna and Jessica. Chesty’s one that I think is horrible misunderstood but Sarah Richardson can just go jump in the damn lake! Woman used to be called family but now?
[::Christina and Seleana both nod knowingly but say nothing.::]
Halo: I know she’s y’all’s friend, Mama Chrys, but the bitch done dug her own grave and now she need to lie in it somethin’ fierce! I’m happy to compete with the others, especially Miss Lassindra but Sarah Richardson needs her ass kicked in the worst way and I’m only too happy to do it! There’s a title shot on the line and Imma make sure whoever wins earns that motherfucker!
[::Halo says with the utmost confidence as the camera fades and goes elsewhere. We catch Jessica Jackson walking down the hall. Seemingly on her way to the ring as she is messing with her wrist tape as she speaks to the camera crew that is following her...::]
Jessica Jackson: A lot has gone down over the last several weeks. Things quite frankly...I'm not overly thrilled out...
[::There is disgust in the tattooed blondes voice as she shakes her head a bit.::]
Jessica Jackson: But I can't change the past. All I can do is attempt to build a better future. Not only for myself, but for the Queen's Court as well. Things might not be perfect right now, but families fight...I know this all too well...
[::Jessica stops in her tracks and turns to face the cameras as she sighs deeply.::]
Jessica Jackson: Look, the fact of the matter is I have a chance to challenge for the Revolutionary Championship at Through Heaven and Hell. A title held by my dear friend Eliza. But if I win tonight, in two weeks I gotta step into the ring with my friend and try to take that beautiful championship away from her...
[::The Princess of Mischief looks down at the ground for several moments, deep in thought. Clearly the WWR fans are seeing a different side of Jessica here tonight, she finally looks back up to finish her thought.::]
Jessica Jackson: If I win tonight...no...when I win tonight. We'll cross that bridge then. But for now, Eliza...if you're listening? Please know if we face off at the pay per view...It's nothing personal, it's just business...
[::Jess turns and continues her walk down the hallway making her way to the gorilla position as the cameras backstage shift elsewhere to see a single white light shining brightly in a dark room. In the middle of this beam of light stands Lassindra Vivara Vodanya, back to the camera. There’s a sheen over her skin, whether it’s oil or sweat remains to be seen. She exhales forcefully before beginning to speak.::]
Lassindra V: Last Battleground, I was robbed of my victory to advance in the tournament toward the WWR World Championship. Susan Rigger was spared the wrath of the Peak Female Form because Malaya Diosa is incapable of victory alone, and therefore needed MY Solstice in order to gain her win.
[::The Russian doesn’t turn around. She continues to breathe, deeply, hands clenched into fists at her side as she speaks.::]
Lassindra V: Now, I face five other women in a bid to become the number one Contender to the Revolutionary Title currently held by Eliza Frost-Showtime.
[::The Peak Female Form finally turns, facing the camera. Her face is warped in a scowl as she flexes her considerably large biceps, her neck muscles taut as she stares through the camera.::]
Lassindra V: Halo. Jessica Jackson. Chesty LaRue. Jonna Austin. Sarah Richardson.
[::Lass slams her fist into her palm, white powder exploding from between her hands in a cloud before slowly starting to drift to the floor and settle.::]
Lassindra V: I don’t care who you are. I don’t care about any other woman in this match. Aside from Charlotte Haliday, none of you are worth my notice inside of that ring. Sure, I have begun to build a friendship with Eve O’Donnell, but if I were given the chance against either her or Charlie, I would put everything aside, and strip them of their titles just like any other champion in this company.
[::The lights slowly come on, the spotlight fading, and we can see that the Peak Female Form is inside of her private gym. Motivational phrases painted on the walls. Framed pictures of different people who have touched her life in her training. She points to the photo of Bobbi Jackson on the wall.::]
Lassindra V: This woman trained me. Do not forget that. The Rising Phoenix herself endorsed me when I stepped between the ropes in WWR for the first time. I was a member of her Phoenix Coalition. But the group's goals and my own did not line up, so here I am, walking alone yet again.
[::The Russian smirks, giving a shrug.::]
Lassindra V: Some of the best wrestlers in the world do not ever work with anyone else. I intend to be a giant amongst ants here in WWR, and I will prove it by going into this six person match and destroying each of my competitors.
[::Lass holds up a finger, beginning to count.::]
Lassindra V: Halo. Had I known when I trained you to fight against Ursula Von Rossbach that I would be meeting you in the ring, maybe I would not have shown you how to take advantage of an opponent’s size, and use it against them. Be forewarned. I did not show you everything. I am a different beast than the female Terminator. You are not prepared.
[::A second finger.::]
Lassindra V: Jessica Jackson. While I may have all the respect in the world for your sister, I have absolutely none for you. You hide behind Susan Rigger’s name. Her Queen’s Court. You all may have excellent wrestling pedigrees. I’ll give you that. But when it comes down to it, I will break you on my path to becoming champion. You are not prepared.
[::The Siberian Storm spits on the floor, the rage in her face not breaking as she holds up a third finger.::]
Lassindra V: Chesty LaRue. I honestly don’t even know how you have a REAL job as a wrestler. You look like you’d be more comfortable on a black leather couch in front of a camera than in a wrestling ring. You know what they say. Everyone needs a naked bimbo on the internet in their lives at one point or another. Find a different calling. This one is not for you. You are not prepared.
[::A fourth finger is held up, and Lass’ look of rage turns to one of frustration.::]
Lassindra V: Jonna Austin. Your uncle or cousin or whatever the fuck is some kind of indy wrestling sensation that you tout about, but I’ve never heard of him. The only thing “stunning” about either of you is how stunned I am you’re even in this match, considering the entirety of your WWR career is being eliminated from matches. You are not prepared.
[::The Storm makes a fist, her face contorting back into one of anger.::]
Lassindra V: Sarah Richardson. My first question is this. Who the fuck are you and why are you in this match? All I’ve seen of you is questionable surfing techniques and that you’re a walking Starbucks advertisement. If you were any more stereotypical blonde, I would dye my own hair just to remove that single association with you. You will break before the Peak Female Form. You are not prepared.
[::Lass raises her arms out to her sides, muscles shining in the lit room as she stares at the camera.::]
Lassindra V: The gauntlet has been thrown down. Before me stand five women who could very well be the best in any division they could be placed in. True champions in companies the world over. Unfortunately for them?
[::Lass turns her back to the camera again, lowering her arms before she looks back over her shoulder.::]
Lassindra V: Unfortunately for them, they chose WWR. Which means they chose to join a roster that housed the Peak Female Form. The Siberian Storm. The Russian Destroyer. The woman who will become champion. I am not sorry for what I am about to do ladies. You’ve stepped into the path of a Storm, and I cannot be outrun. Hidden from. I will break all five of you, and claim my spot as number one Contender to the Revolutionary Title.
[::There is the loud sound of a breaker being flipped, and the lights all go out except for the spot which Lass still stands in, head down, fists clenched at her sides.::]
Lassindra V: Women’s Wrestling Revolution? You are not prepared.
[::With a final loud clang, the spotlight goes out and the feed goes to black. The show shifts to a pre-recorded segment from earlier in the week. The scene faded in on a single but very nice hotel room where there was a small loveseat, a television, a small fridge, and a neatly made Queen sized bed. Also in the room was a small desk that was a temporary home for a nice laptop which is where the feed was coming from. No one could be seen quite yet, but there were two female voices coming from just beyond the line of sight that the laptop camera had been set up to have. It wasn’t hard for one of the voices to be recognized as Jonna Austin’s, but the second voice was still unknown to anyone from WWR that might be watching. After a few moments, Jonna came into view wearing a pair of tight, low rise jeans, a dark red , short sleeve, crop top type of shirt, and a pair of ankle high, heeled, black boots. Her long blonde hair was left down with soft, natural waves running throughout it along with having her make-up done to look natural minus her deep red lipstick. The 2nd voice could still be heard reminding Jonna that the camera was on for her feed, but the owner of it was still staying out of sight even as Jonna sat down at the desk.::]
Jonna Austin: Oh shit, I forgot that I had gotten this set up! Thanks for the reminder, Jamie. Guess I should get this out of the way so we can go out in a little while.
Jamie Austin: No problem, sis. I figured I made it slip your mind when I showed up at the door. I’ll sit over here and wait for you.
[::The owner of the 2nd voice, identified as the twin sister of Jonna, Jamie Austin, finally came into view of the camera. Jamie was only an inch or so shorter than Jonna, but they both had the long blonde hair though Jamie’s was straighter than her sister’s was. The shorter of the 2 women could be seen wearing a tight, curve hugging, strapless, pastel pink dress that ended about mid-thigh with a pair of high heeled wedge sandals, and her make-up was mostly natural looking minus the light hints of pink on her eyelids and her bright red lipstick. She began walking behind Jonna’s desk chair, making her way to the little loveseat that was in the room, but Jonna grabbed her arm, causing her to spin a bit in order to keep from hitting the floor.::]
Jonna Austin: Stick around, Jamie! If you’re going to be joining me at the shows now, the fans and competition deserve to see your gorgeous face! Other than the few times the cameras were with me in WWH, no one has seen you in forever...other than your indy matches, that is. Come on and join me...it’ll make this whole thing even more fun!
Jamie Austin: Alright, alright...I guess it wouldn’t hurt since they’ll be seeing me more often as it is. Scooch over...I know we’ve got these to die for booties, but we can both fit in this stupid chair. Now then...you’re in one Hell of a match at Battleground: A New Challenger. A 6-pack challenge match to become the #1 Contender for the Revolutionary Championship. From what I’ve seen of the shows since the return of WWR, you’re going to have your hands full with Halo, Lassindra, Jessica, Chesty, and Sarah. Although, I’ve got to ask...what kind of name is Chesty LaRue?
[::Jonna laughed at her sister’s reaction, not actually meaning to, which caused her to slap her hand over her mouth to try and stifle her laughter. She cleared her throat to try and rid herself of the laughter, regaining her composure in the process. The taller of the two women brushed some hair out of her face before she spoke again.::]
Jonna Austin: I do have to admit that her name took me by surprise the first time I heard it, but I wouldn’t let her name throw you off. She does pretty well for herself when it comes down to it in the ring. She’ll definitely bring an interesting dynamic to the match, there’s not a single doubt about that. With any luck, I’ll be able to have a little back and forth with her.
Jamie Austin: Alright...what about Halo? I’ve seen her on Twitter before, well when I’ve stolen your phone and looked through it some. She seems kind of...odd, but odd in a good way, you know?
[::Jonna nodded lightly as she listened to her sister. She was right, Halo did seem a little odd, but it was in one of the best ways to be odd. She grinned a little as she thought about when Halo tweeted to her after the return show of WWR. Chuckling a little, Jonna looked towards her sister, a grin still on the Texas beauty’s face.::]
Jonna Austin: Odd yeah, but she seems pretty cool as well. After all, she did kind of cheer me on through Twitter when I was dealing with Mercedes White after the battle royal. I like her, and she seems really talented. Maybe she and I can square up in the ring one-on-one sometime; I’m sure it’d be a Hell of a match.
Jamie Austin: Oh yeah! I saw that little encounter...I was secretly cheering her on and hoping she’d say something else, but the bit of involvement that she had was great to me. Now what about Lassindra? You two have faced off before...in the last show to be exact, but you also had Malaya to deal with at the same time. I know that wasn’t an easy match for you, but at least it let you get some insight to how Lassindra works in the ring.
Jonna Austin: Lassindra is definitely a beast in the ring. She’s determined, can kick major ass, and she’s full of surprises without a doubt. People are still talking about the WWR return show where she proposed to Charlotte after losing the match. It was obvious that it was extremely spontaneous, and if she’s like that with her personal life, I can only imagine the spontaneity that she brings into matches when it’s needed. So...who does that leave? Sarah Richardson and Jessica Jackson, right?
[::Jonna glances over to her sister who is resting her chin in her hand though Jamie gives Jonna a little nod as an answer to her question. The big time wrestler of the two women sighed and shook her head a bit, not really knowing where she wanted to go as far as the two remaining women in the 6-pack challenge match was concerned. Jonna had decided months ago that she was going to be true to herself in how she handled things and people, so she took a moment to dwell on her thoughts. She knew the last two women in the match were not ones to take lightly, but she also knew that stooping to low levels would be lowering herself as well as her worth.::]
Jonna Austin: You know...I really don’t know which road I want to take when it comes to the thought of, or even just talking about, Jessica Jackson and Sarah Richardson. I’m trying to be true to myself, to show the fans that I’m still the Jonna that they all rallied behind and loved when I started my in-ring career.
Jamie Austin: You can show that to them but still say what you’re really thinking. It doesn’t make you a bitch to voice your thoughts...it just makes you opinionated.
Jonna Austin: Thanks, sis...you have a point. Now let’s see...I guess I’ll start with Jessica. It kind of saddens me to think about the fact that she’s Bobbi Jackson’s sister because Bobbi seems so sweet while Jessica just seems to have her head shoved up Susan Rigger’s ass other than to breathe. They’re complete, polar opposites from what I’ve seen, but I know not all siblings are going to be as close knit as we are. Aside from who she’s related to, I guess Jessica could be a decent competitor in the ring. After all, if she’s staying so stuck up the WWR World Champion’s ass, you would think and hope that she at least stays trained up.
[::Jonna shrugged her shoulder a bit as Jamie laughed as a way to say that she was just being honest. The in-ring competitor looked at her sister with an amused look resting on her features as the other woman continued to chuckle lightly. After a minute or two, Jonna shot Jamie a look to tell her that it wasn’t really that funny, and the shorter woman finally stopped laughing, shooting Jonna a get over it type of look.::]
Jamie Austin: Oh don’t give me those looks, Jo...I can’t help it if I found that extremely amusing. Now all that’s left is Sarah Richardson so hurry up. I do want to go out at some point this evening, you know.
Jonna Austin: Yeah, yeah...I’m getting to her. Sarah Richardson...sadly we have the ‘OMG, Valley girls rule!’ I had hoped that those types had left wrestling a long time ago, but obviously we’re still stuck with them. Don’t get me wrong...I don’t mind the women that consider themselves as Valley, but that doesn’t mean that a lot of them don’t irritate me and give me a migraine. If you’re not in my face with it, cool...do whatever you want, you won’t irritate or piss me off. When it’s all you’re about, all you are, and you can’t seem to find yourself growing up and away from it then we are NOT going to get along by any means. Despite having not said anything to me, Sarah, the aura that you give off is enough to tell me that I would and will want to beat that fake tan off of your skin. And I don’t care about how much you’ll insist that it’s a real tan because it looks fake as Hell whether it’s from one of those stupid lotions or from a tanning bed...a fake tan is a fake tan.
Jamie Austin: You would know about them too, wouldn’t you Jonna?
Jonna Austin: In the past, yeah I would know about fake tans, Jamie. I learned quickly to only go with as natural of a tan as I could get after a couple of mishaps. But that’s not the point here...ladies, I’ll see you in the ring at A New Challenger in a couple of days.
[::With that being said, Jonna blew a kiss towards the laptop camera before hitting a few keys and selecting a couple of things. The feed itself was done and sent to who it needed to be sent to in WWR to be aired on the show. The two Texas natives got up, Jonna closing her laptop in the process. Battleground cuts to another pre-tape from earlier on today…The camera rises up following one Chesty Larue, who had just arrived at the arena moments earlier. As she walks, she is approached by Katrina Showtime, eager for a word with this budding star.::]
Katrina Showtime: Chesty, have you got a moment?
[::The buxom brunette smiles wide.::]
Chesty Larue: For my first televised interview!? Of course!
Katrina Showtime: Okay, well, first of all it was a real tough break for you two weeks ago in the Battleground Championship Contender’s match, but tonight you have a chance to turn things around when you face off in the six-woman match to determine the challenger to Eliza Frost and the WWR Revolution Championship. How are you approaching this match?
Chesty Larue: Well, Kat, I’m just looking to follow the example of the great superstars ahead of me. You look around WWR and there are proven patterns of success… you have the Beautification Movement undefeated since joining and already set to challenge for the WWR Tag Team Championships, so if I could tap into a little bit of that mojo, I look forward to having great success here.
Katrina Showtime: I’m glad you brought that up, because Chesty, there are a few members of the WWR roster concerned about you after it appears you have struck up something of a loose association with the group.
[::Chesty rolls her eyes.::]
Chesty Larue: There’s concern, is there?
Katrina Showtime: Given the reputations of Juliana Mendoza and Cayla Phoenix, can you be surprised that…
Chesty Larue: You know what, I’m going to cut you off there, Kat. Because in MY experience, they have been nothing but sweet and friendly with me. All I want is to be a success, to do KABLAM proud, to make Derek Adonis and Cookie Dreams smile knowing they had a hand in my success. And do you know what I got from most of the WWR roster? A few wide eyes, some batted eyelashes, and disrespect. Two weeks ago, I was shamed for sex work. Last time I checked, SWERFs were… like… TOTALLY sucky! And then I was the one who got pinned in that Battleground match… me! And not pinned in the fun way, either! So no, you’ll have to forgive me if I find the idea that people are “suddenly” concerned about me to be laughable.
Katrina Showtime: I’m…
Chesty Larue: The only thing these people are concerned about is seeing a group of already talented women share their wealth with someone looking for help. That’s all this is. If they were really concerned about ME, why weren’t they offering to step up and help me out? Because to help someone out is to jeopardize their own spot. I’m not saying put me in the World Title picture. I’m not saying I want to be on all the posters today, though if I do say, I would look FAB on those posters. I’m saying give me a chance. The Beautification Movement? They may be giving me that chance! I hope I can follow their example.
[::With that, Chesty goes to walk away. Katrina tries to catch up.::]
Katrina Showtime: Wait, Chesty… I…
Chesty Larue: No, Kat… that’s okay. I see what’s going on, and I have a match to get ready for anyway. Take care...
[::She walks away from the interviewer, her tone drastically changing from their introductions at the top. Katrina looks down at the ground sadly feeling like she just screwed things up badly as the scene shifts to Sarah Richardson who grins as she is in a pink and white attire. Allison Sullivan stands next to her wearing similar attire. Sarah smiles as she grins. Her hands on her hips as she begins to speak.::]
Sarah Richardson: Pittsburgh Pennsylvania you all should be thrilled because yours truly is back once again. I am well worth the money and you can all rest assured that tonight will be fantastic. It will be amazing and it’s going to go well beyond that. I have a feeling that tonight is going to be simply…
Allison Sullivan: Glamorous?!
[::Sarah chuckles as she nods her head in return.::]
Sarah Richardson: That is an amazing answer Allison and normally that would be the right answer but tonight I was looking for something different. Tonight is simply going to be Revolutionary… You see I am ready to paint the world in a Glamorous matter but in order to do so I need to overcome 5 overrated Bitches just to stake my claim at what should be. Let’s just look at the women who I actually have to step in the ring with. Why don’t you run them down for me…
Allison Sullivan: Jessica Jackson…
Sarah Richardson: Yes a woman I am familiar with. My fellow Jacksonville native. You see I actually know Jessica because she’s the baby sister of one of my childhood friends. I actually don’t appreciate how she treats Bobbi. Bobbi has so many friends and is so loving, Jessica just has a chip on her shoulder because she is envious of what Bobbi has. I will have no problem beating the jealousy out of her. Or how about Lassindra she is literally big for nothing and riding the coattails of her girlfriend. Why should anybody be afraid of her?!
Allison Sullivan: There is Halo who is the daughter in law of Crystal but that really isn’t that impressive. Chesty Larue is a brunette the only one in the match so that makes her a failure. How about Joanna?!
[::Sarah seems disgusted as she just shakes her head as she glances back at Allison.::]
Sarah Richardson: When you really look at everything nobody is all that impressive. I am the only one who is worthy of becoming something greater in this match. I deserve to take that next step and I will wipe the floor with whoever is placed in front of me. So bring whoever and I assure you all that it will never be enough.
Allison Sullivan: And as far as my sister Stephanie goes. Last show she got abused. She got put right in her place and it will continuously happen because she’s not worthy of…
[::Before Allison could finish that statement Stephanie quickly spears her to the ground. The two Sullivan sisters are fighting each other and Sarah doesn’t waste any time as she is about to beat on Stephanie but something stops her in her tracks. It’s another brunette and Sarah seems to be in horror as she backs away.::]
Amanda Richardson: Don’t even think about it sister. I saw what happened two weeks ago and nobody deserves to be bullied like Stephanie was. At Through Heaven and Hell I know Allison and Stephanie will be battling with one another. I know that you and Felicia will be in Allison’s corner but I will be in Stephanie’s corner just to make sure you don’t pull anything. Can’t wait to see you wrestle tonight… Good luck sis….
[::Sarah doesn’t say anything as she is stunned. Security quickly runs onto the scene and separates Allison and Stephanie. Stephanie stands next to Amanda as Allison walks over to Sarah. They stare at one another as Battleground heads to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a six pack challenge match with a twenty minute time limit, the winner will become the number one contender for the WWR Revolutionary Championship! introducing first...
[::“Lost At 22 by Life of Agony” starts up and B-Brat walks out, smirking and twirling what looks like a long necklace as the crowd boos the second generation star. Halo follows behind her looking stoic and simply ready to go seemingly paying the boo birds no attention at all. B-Brat takes her sweet time getting to the ring making sure she milks all the attention she possibly can as she drinks everything in.::]
Arianna Grey: From Tullahoma, Tennessee, being accompanied to the ring by B-Brat. She is...Halo!
Alexis Rose: The winner of this match up will challenge Eliza for her Revolutionary Championship at Through Heaven and Hell. And after hearing from her earlier? I'm really not sure if I'd want to win this match?
Monica Powers: Maybe so, Alexis. But when you have a chance to win a championship here in WWR you gotta just meet those type of challenges head on. I'm certain that Halo would be up for the task if she were to win this six pack challenge here tonight!
[::Halo makes her way up the steps and slips through the ropes effortlessly, Halo following right behind her. They take the center of the ring and B-Brat walks up to the ropes, flashing hand signals to the crowd as Halo stands behind her, simply raising her right fist to the sky. B-Brat steps back and smacks Halo on the belly, pointing to her as Halo simply stands tall, ready for war.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"Lights Out by Breaking Benjamin" blasts over the PA Speakers as the Princess of the Queen's Court struts out onto the stage with a cocky grin on her face. The crowd boos her loudly as she strikes a pose and considers flipping off the crowd but decides against it tonight before walking down the aisle to make her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From Jacksonville, Florida. Representing the Queen's Court. She is...Jessica Jackson!
Monica Powers: Jessica's journey is an interesting one at the moment, clearly caught between her friendships with Susan and both Frost sisters. I wonder how much that is weighing on her mind right now?
Alexis Rose: I would like to think she isn't thinking about that at all right now. When the bell rings its simply time to go to work. You can worry about your problems with the Court members later!
[::Jessica makes her way to ringside and even though she tries to hide it you can tell by the look on her face something is on her mind as she gets into the ring and just heads to an empty corner to collect her thoughts prior to the match starting.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::Lass appears on the stage as soon as "Indestructible by Disturbed" starts, her eyes focused on the ring. She makes her way down the ramp, laser focused on the task in front of her.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia. She is Lassindra Vivara Vodanya!
Monica Powers: A former member of the Phoenix Coalition, Lass is trying to branch out on her own and start anew here in WWR.
Alexis Rose: She was very close to advancing in the tournament two weeks ago. Tonight she has a chance to challenge for the Revolutionary Championship, ain't nothing wrong with that!
[::Lass climbs up the stairs, and steps through the ropes before making her way to the middle of the ring, striking various bodybuilding poses before giving the camera a wink and backing into her corner as she looks up at the stage.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::The techno beats of "Boom Boom Boom Boom by The Vengaboys" begins to play as the lights flicker in many colors. The crowd rise to their feet, jumping and clapping in beat as Chesty Larue skips out on top of the ramp, bouncing around in all of her glory. She claps along, encouraging further from the crowd as she skips down the ramp, clapping some hands along the way...::]
Arianna Grey: From Las Vegas, Nevada. She is...Chesty Larue!
Alexis Rose: Every time Chesty comes out I just want to dance! Her energy is just so infectious!
Monica Powers: Alexis please sit down and leave the dancing to Larue, I'm begging you!
[::As Larue gets to the ring, the song hits the chorus, with sparkling fireworks shooting from the ramp in time with the first "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom" of the chorus. She slides onto the apron under the bottom ropes, turning to the crowd with her chin on her hands and her legs kicking behind her. She blows a kiss to the crowd before rolling to her feet, moving to the other sides of the ring, bending over the ropes and blowing a kiss out in the midst of her display, she looks at the other women in the ring before looking up to the stage as she knows more people are about to arrive.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::"Poison Girl by H.I.M." begins to play as dark pink, purple, and silver lights wave all around the arena and audience as Jonna makes her way from backstage, a slight smirk on her face as she bounces around a little to the music. She stretches a little then begins jogging down the ramp, high fiving the fans as she does.::]
Arianna Grey: From Victoria, Texas. She is...Jonna Austin!
Monica Powers: Jonna has been trying to find her footing since landing in WWR last month and I think now is as good of time as any to step up and show the WWR fans what she's made of!
Alexis Rose: Austin has all the talent in the world, it's in her DNA. If anyone is underestimating her tonight it might absolutely be their undoing.
[::Jonna slides in under the bottom rope then pops up quickly, a smirk still on her face. She jumps onto the bottom rope, grabbing the top rope as she leans over it, the smirk never leaving her face while she blows a few kisses to the fans.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::"Glamorous by Fergie" begins to play across the speakers as it does Sarah Richardson emerges from the back accompanied by that of her girlfriend Felicia Fury. Sarah turns her nose up at the crowd as she refuses to shake any hands. She arrogantly makes her way down to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing from Jacksonville, Florida. Being accompanied to the ring by Felicia Fury, she is...Sarah Richardson!
Alexis Rose: Here comes the rich bitch...
Monica Powers: Alexis, language!!! This is a family show! Try to be a little more professional please!
[::Sarah slides into the ring flicking her hair as Felicia claps her hands for her girlfriend at ringside, the referee makes sure all six women are ready to go before calling for the bell to start the match.::]
DING! DING! DING!
As the bell is rung Lassindra lunges at Jessica, the younger Jackson sister ducking right out of the ring before the powerhouse can get her hands on her. Jessica grabs Lassindra's ankles and yanks her legs out from under her and dragging her out of the ring and trapping her between the ring and apron. Jessica smirks as she steps back, then lashes out with her leg in a Superkick. Lassindra catches her foot though and shoves her back, sending Jessica staggering backward all the way to the guard rail while the Siberian Storm struggles free, then rushes in after her. Jessica drops down and scissors the Russian powerhouse's legs with hers, tripping her and sending her face first into the guard rail.
Meanwhile in the ring all hell is breaking loose as the women brawl in the ring, Sarah Richardson dumping Halo out through the ropes before she turns to the other two women remaining in the ring, rushing behind Chesty Larue to knee her in the back and send her into Jonna Austin as they both stumble into the ropes, Chesty grimacing with a hand on her back. Sarah charges at the pair, but they both duck their heads as she comes rushing in and they just toss her right over the ropes and to the mats outside the ring. As Sarah's getting up she's knocked right back down as Halo's shoulder slams into hers, then the young talent grabs Sarah's wrist, pulling her up before smashing her back down with a Clothesline.
Halo doesn't get a chance to celebrate hitting the Two Minutes 2 Midnight before her hair is grabbed from behind and she's flung into the guard rail by Jessica Jackson, who smirkingly turns around only for her eyes to widen as Chesty Larue jumps off the apron at her and knocks her down with a Lou Thesz Press. She drags Jessica up as she puts the blonde in the Double D-Light, squishing Jessica's face to her plentiful breasts in a Headlock, the Queen's Court member's arms just flailing about. Suddenly Chesty is shoved aside though as strong hands grasp Jessica and she's lifted off her feet and high up in the air, Lassindra pressing the blond beauty over her head before turning to the crowd, who clear away before she launches Jessica over the railing and into the empty seats.
In the ring Jonna and Sarah are facing off, the veteran Richardson gaining the advantage as she has Jonna down, standing on her chest as she pulls on her wrists, putting pressure on Jonna's breasts with the Hanging Ten, the Texan shrieking with pain. Luckily for her the wicked hold is broken up as Chesty rolls right into Sarah, having been tossed back in the ring by a fired up Lassindra, who rolls in after her and as Chesty and Sarah get up they are both smashed off their feet by a dual Lariat from the Russian Destroyer. She grabs Sarah by the throat, dragging her back to her feet, but the crafty Blonde Bombshell rakes her nails across the powerhouse's eyes, blinding her.
Lassindra staggers backwards 'till her back is on the ropes and suddenly she feels limbs hooking around hers as an upside down Halo puts the powerful beauty Hung Out To Dry with her take on the Tarantula. Jonna, seeing this, takes a three-point stance, then charges on in, driving her shoulder into Lassindra's defenseless midsection in a Secret Strength Spear that knocks her right through the ropes and sends her and Halo both onto the mats below. Sarah looks to sneak up on Jonna, but the Lovable Punk turns with arm cocked back for some Punk Love that Sarah's none too eager to receive, hurriedly backpedaling, only for her shoulder to be grabbed before she's spun around right into a Superkick.
Jessica Jackson smirks a bit as she steps over Sarah's body, but Jonna doesn't hesitate in rushing in and meeting her with a wound up Punk Love punch right across the jaw, sending the blond beauty down. Jonna hears the crowd's excited voices and turns right as Chesty flings herself off the top rope into a forward flip, looking to hit the Top Rope Fuckinator on Jonna, but the Lovable Punk manages to duck out of the way and the diving attack misses its mark. Chesty manages to land in a rather graceful tumble that ends with her back on her feet... only for her to get blasted in the face by Halo's boot in a Black 13 that lays the buxom beauty out.
Halo jumps right to her feet and rushes after Jonna, going for another of her flying Big Boots on her, but Jonna manages to swat Halo's foot aside as it's coming for her face, causing Halo to land flat on her back with a thud, groaning as she drags herself up, only to get kicked in the gut before Jonna seizes hold of her head, pulling Halo's in before she drops down sharply to jam her shoulder up under Halo's chin in a stunning G2 that just snaps Halo's head back, her eyes glazed over as she just collapses and Jonna hurries into a cover. The referee counts one, two and a three before any of the women can break the pin up and then calls for the bell.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, Jonna Austin!
[::Jonna hops up and quickly gets out of the ring to celebrate before the other women in the match have a chance to jump her as the referee raises Jonna's hand in victory at ringside.::]
Alexis Rose: What a huge victory for Jonna Austin! We now know Eliza's opponent at Through Heaven and Hell!
Monica Powers: It should be a fantastic match for certain, I can't wait to see it!
Alexis Rose: At this point, the only title matches to be figured out now are the Goddess of the Cage and the World Championship. I think...
Monica Powers: Hold up, Alexis! I'm being told in my ear something is going on backstage, do we have a camera crew back there? Can we go there now?
[::There's a crash backstage as Dominique Frost shoves an empty yet still rather heavy equipment box off a stack of them, then stomps down a hallway, menacingly glaring at anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves in her path, each crew member hurriedly making way for the raging blonde. Finally spotting her target, Dominique narrows her eyes and her steps soften a bit before she lunges, grabbing Bobbi Jackson by the hair with one hand.::]
Dominique Frost: I have you now, you meddling bitch!
[::She roughly shoves Bobbi into another stack of boxes with a thud, then grips the shorter woman's head with both hands, bashing it against the side of a sturdy box. Bobbi groans being slammed into the boxes as she throws some wild elbows to Dominique's midsection trying to back the Dominiqtrix off but the sneak attack has the Phoenix in a very vulnerable position.
Dominique growls angrily as the two women exchange blows, but it's clear Bobbi can't keep up with her back literally against the wall and Dominique raining heavy blows on her, driving Bobbi down to a knee before she raises her foot and boots the blonde right across the face, knocking her down. Dominique drags the knocked groggy Bobbi up by her hair, only to scoop her off her feet and toss her face first into the stack of boxes, knocking it over. She stands over the blonde beauty's body and grins wickedly as she goes to grab a box so she can smash Bobbi with it, but before she can bring the improvised bludgeon to bear Alexa and Eliza get in her way, standing side by side to shield Bobbi from her.::]
Eliza Frost-Showtime: Oh no you don't!
Alexa Cannon: You'd better back up, bitch, or you'll be sorry!
[::The older Frost sisters glares at them and huffs before tossing the box aside and screams at the fallen Phoenix.::]
Dominique Frost: You got lucky this time, but I'll deal with you yet, at Through Heaven and Hell you won't be able to hide behind anyone!
[::With that, the tall blonde turns and storms off leaving Eliza and Alexa to check on Bobbi as Battleground goes to a commercial break.::]
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break as we hear the opening guitar for “Blow by Ed Sheeran, Chris Stapleton, and Bruno Mars" plays out over the crowd for a few seconds before…::]
“OHHHHHHHHH!!!”
[::As the song kicks in, Envy Ellis steps out from the back dressed in her ring gear with a towel draped over her neck and the Goddess of the Cage Championship wrapped loosely around her waist. She doesn’t pose or play to the crowd, choosing instead to walk directly towards the ring.::]
[::As she reaches the bottom of the ramp, she throws the towel off her neck to the floor and slides under the bottom ropes. Moving to the opposite side, she climbs onto the bottom rope and throws her arms out. After repeating this process with the other three sides of the ring, Envy goes to the corner, fetching a microphone. Pulling the Goddess of the Cage Championship off her waist and setting it on her shoulder. Moving to the middle of the ring, she goes to speak.::]
Envy Ellis: So I’ve had two weeks to think about what I wanted to do at the next WWR Pay Per View event, Heaven and Hell. And believe me, I have been putting a lot of thought into it. I’ve been considering every angle. I’ve looked at challengers who sought to “earn” their shot by pissing me off. I’ve looked at challengers who looked to make their appeal to me in earnest. I’ve look at challengers who simply passed their name across a table hoping for me to see it, without even really knowing that this would play out the way Michael Showtime had announced back at last Battleground. I have given this great thought, after all - I wasn’t lying when I said I envisioned this belt’s potential as being on the level with that of the WWR World Championship. I truly believe that’s possible, and to get there, I couldn’t just pick a name out of a hat. I had to make my decision count. I had to start building prestige, because the growth of this Championship… of this division… lay square on my shoulders.
[::Envy paces about, nodding her head.::]
Envy Ellis: Which is why I’m not just giving into emotion and picking someone who tried to get under my skin. Look, I spent over six months embroiled in a bitter rivalry with Zoe Jane because she managed to get under my skin. Why would I knowingly put myself back in that position again? So Kate Steele? You’re out.
[::The crowd roars as Envy continues.::]
Envy Ellis: I also have to look to new challenges and new opponents. I didn’t want to just hand out a Championship match to someone who… let’s be honest… I beat before. Remember back to WWR Episode 9 when I was teaming with Diamond Steele against Lassindra and Charlotte Haliday? What happened there? Lassindra got caught and tapped out. Could she have learned what to do and how to escape me then? Maybe… but in the interest of fresh competition, sorry Lass… you’re out.
[::The crowd is split on this decision, some applauding the reasoning, while others booing that we won’t see it recur.::]
Envy Ellis: Which brings me to my decision. See, I wasn’t only deciding who NOT to defend the Championship against, but I was putting in the work in earnest to determine who my challenger WILL be. And after what we saw earlier tonight… I think if nothing else, this plucks an individual out of one saga and drops them into a cage with the fiercest fighter this company has ever seen. I wanted to make sure that my opponent doesn’t waste my time, and I think I have that. Therefore, my opponent at Through Heaven and Hell…
[::She grins, moving to the side of the ring and facing the stage…::]
Envy Ellis: Milana Radek… get out here.
[::There is a brief pause from Envy calling her out, as the infamous piano opening of "Nobody Does it Better" would play, as Milana struts to the top of the ramp in response.::]
[::She has a microphone in her hand, and addressed her from afar, as the Czech Republic native would address her.::]
Milana Radek: So you have been paying attention… clever girl.
[::She said with a smug, villainous chuckle to her response, as she added onto her reply.::]
Milana Radek: Choosing me as your opponent is bold, and shows you want a challenge. However, it is not a wise one.
[::She said, coldly, speaking to the champion, as she stared daggers at her.::]
Milana Radek: I am more of a threat than anyone you have faced before, Envy. I'm sure you're aware of that… not only do I enforce the future tag champions, I am an accomplished boxer and submission artist. Not only that, thanks to you, I will become the Goddess of the Cage as well!
Envy Ellis: Milana… I trust you won’t waste my time. I’ll see you in the cage.
[::The music plays again as Envy steps to the ropes, lifting her belt up. Milana points to the Championship, jawing at Envy as she does.::]
Alexis Rose: Interesting choice from Envy Ellis to be certain.
Monica Powers: Love her or hate her, Milana was quite impressive earlier on tonight and clearly Envy took notice!
Alexis Rose: We will see if Ellis lives to regret this choice in two weeks time at Through Heaven and Hell, but right now we have Katrina Showtime sitting backstage with Susan Rigger. Katrina, take it away girl!
[::WWR Battleground heads backstage inside the makeshift studio backstage as Katrina Showtime sits in the same chair she was in earlier during the show. But this time she sits across the WWR World Champion, the Suplex Queen Susan Rigger. Katrina looks directly at the cameras filming them and begins to speak.::]
Katrina Showtime: Thanks Alexis, my guest at this time. Will be defending her World Championship in two weeks time at Through Heaven and Hell, the Suplex Queen herself...Susan Rigger.
[::Katrina looks over at Susan and motions to her.::]
Katrina Showtime: Susan, how are you doing tonight?
[::Susan adjusts the WWR World Championship belt slung over her shoulder.::]
Susan Rigger: I'm doing quite well, thank you for asking. It should be quite an... interesting show that I in particular have vested interest in, what with the challenger for my title being determined tonight.
[::Katrina nods.::]
Katrina Showtime: And that match is just moments away, but before we talk about that. I have to ask you about what everyone has been talking about these past two weeks. Why did you turn on your former stablemate in Eliza Frost? Even going as far as to having her older sister help you with such a betrayal?
[::Susan's expression sours as she scoffs.::]
Susan Rigger: Ugh, scratch that whole doing well part now that I was reminded of that selfish traitor. She refused to do what was best for the Court, selling me out to the Coalition because she can't keep her head on straight when it comes to Bobbi. I can't possibly trust someone like that, so I did what was necessary. And Dominique is smart enough to know it had to be done too.
[::Katrina raises an eyebrow at this.::]
Katrina Showtime: Do you really think it was in your best interests long term here to do that to the woman who is married to the owner of the company?
[::Susan just dismissively waves off the notion that she could've possibly made a mistake.::]
Susan Rigger: Oh please, your brother knows I'm THE big draw here, he's smart enough to not let a little slight get in the way of business.
Katrina Showtime: Oooookay then....
[::The interviewer says rolling her eyes a bit thinking Susan should know her brother better than that but she decides to change the subject.::]
Katrina Showtime: Onto the pay per view, you will be facing either Crystal Zdunich or Malaya Diyosa. Do you have a preference for who you'd rather face at Through Heaven and Hell?
Susan Rigger: Ugh, THOSE two...
[::She rolls her eyes.::]
Susan Rigger: Frankly, I think we'd be better off if neither of them got the chance to waste my time, but I suppose I'll just have to deal with whichever one manages to not stumble over themselves and lose.
Katrina Showtime: So you don't care which one you face then?
[::Susan gestures again dismissively.::]
Susan Rigger: If either of them actually makes it into the ring with me they'll be sorry they did.
[::The interviewer looks at the Champion confused.::]
Katrina Showtime: What is that supposed to mean?!
[::Susan grins wickedly as she stands up and ruffles Katrina's hair a bit.::]
Susan Rigger: That's for me to know and you to find out when it suits me.
[::She chuckles as she just walks out of the camera's view. Katrina can be seen mouthing words not suitable for television as Battleground returns to ringside for the main event of the evening.::]
Arianna Grey: This following contest is your main event of the evening! And it is finals of the WWR World title contenders tournament and will have a sixty-minute time limit, introducing first...
[::"Mega Man 3 Intro 8 bit remake by Video Game Music Remakers" begins to blast all across the speakers as it does so Christina Zdunich makes her way from the back curtain with her wife Seleana Zdunich for the second time tonight. Christina smiles as she blows kisses to the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring. She slaps the outstretched hands of all of the roaring fans....::]
Arianna Grey: From Detroit, Michigan. Being accompanied by Seleana Zdunich. She is...Crystal Zdunich!
Alexis Rose: With a timely assist from her long time friend Bobbi Jackson, Crystal finds herself one win away from challenging for the WWR World Championship at Through Heaven and Hell!
Monica Powers: Momentum has certainly been on Crystal's side as of late. I wouldn't bet against her here tonight.
[::Crystal quickly slides into the ring and kips up to her feet as she waves her hands in the air getting the crowd behind her. She jumps around a bit as she tosses her eye glasses to her fiancee. Seleana smiles as she catches them as she claps for her wife as Crystal looks up at the stage awaiting her opponent.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"California Queen by WolfMother" hits, as Malaya comes out from the back with a shower of Orchid petals blown in from the wind behind her. The self-proclaimed monarch of WWR makes her way toward the ring with a confident strut for the second time tonight looking to secure the main event of Through Heaven and Hell for herself...::]
Arianna Grey: From Monterrey, California. Representing the Satsujin Triad. She is...Malaya Diyosa!
Monica Powers: Malaya used some shortcuts to find herself in the main event here tonight, but by hook or by crook. She's here and could be facing Susan Rigger for the gold at the pay per view.
Alexis Rose: I do question if fatigue will play a role in this match with both women already competing earlier on tonight. I guess we'll see soon enough!
[::As Malaya enters under the bottom rope and rolled onto one knee and poses briefly in the center of the ring, and then gets up to waits for the referee to call for the bell to start this main event, and when they see both women are ready that is exactly what they do...::]
DING! DING! DING!
Crystal surging in right into Malaya's face as she snatches a leg and yanks it out from under the Asian beauty, then dives on top of her, the two of them going into a series of grapples, making their way to their feet only for one to take the other down, over and again, neither able to gain an advantageous position over the other for long.
Crystal finally slips out of Malaya's grasp to create enough room to bring her agility to bear, jumping and twisting her body around as her leg slices through the air in an Enzuigiri, catching her opponent on the side of her head and sending Malaya down to a knee, looking stunned. Crystal dashes at the ropes, bounces off them and comes at the Monarch of WWR, but as she's about to reach her Malaya suddenly dives at her, slipping past Crystal and hooking an arm through her legs to take her over with a sudden Schoolgirl pin, she doesn't hold onto it though, letting Crystal roll through, thinking she's escaped a pin, only for Malaya to twist into a roll after her, her leg lashing out to in turn blast Crystal in the side of her head.
In turn left dazed, Crystal almost goes down face first, only just catching herself as she's left on all fours and shakes her head to try and clear it up while Malaya measures her up, then as Crystal plants a foot Malaya rushes at her, stepping off her raised knee to nail her with a Shining Wizard, but it's her turn to underestimate Crystal's resilience as the Blossoming Rose blocks Malaya's leg, then hooks an arm around it, grabbing the other leg too as she tries to twist her over onto her belly right into a classic Withering Rose hold. Malaya isn't about to let that happen as she tucks in her knees and manages to kick Crystal away, sending her staggering backward while the #BAEsian hurries to her feet. Both women look a bit winded, both wrestling their second match of the night and the physical strain starting to show.
They circle one another a bit, eyeing each other as they look for an opening, then finally come together again, Malaya again slipping around Crystal as she reaches over her shoulders to grab at her chin, trying to hit a Lungblower on her, but Crystal ducks her head down to avoid it, reaching through her legs to grab Malaya's leg and trip her up again before flinging herself at the ropes, going upside down in a handstand as her back bounces off the ropes and reverses her momentum to swing her legs back down and then launch her into a backward flip so she crashes across Malaya's midsection in a handspring Moonsault, a take on her signature Smell The Roses.
Malaya's body jacknifes a bit from the impact and she groans in pain, holding her belly as she goes to stand up while Crystal stalks her from behind, reaching through her legs and rolling Malaya up, looking like she's going for a Schoolgirl pin, but instead she hooks her legs around Malaya's arms, trapping them and grabbing her head in a tight graps, pulling it down as her legs bend Malaya's shoulders back in the Power Absorption. The referee goes to ask Malaya if she gives up, but before the words leave their lips suddenly a metallic clang echoes as Crystal is bashed over the head with a folded up steel chair. As Crystal flops down limp Dominique Frost reaches down to grab Malaya, dragging her to her feet while Susan Rigger takes aim with the already dented chair and flings it right at Malaya's face, sending it bouncing off her skull with another dull clang. The referee looks furious as they wave the match off and the bell is rung.
The crowd boos as Daria Dorsey picks up the by now badly bent chair, the Iron Dame tapping the canvas with the metal chair while Dominique shoves Malaya toward her, the newest addition to the Court swinging the chair at her head with another clang before Malaya's limp body slumps down next to Crystal's. The Blossoming Rose tries to push herself up, but Jessica Jackson kicks the chair over to her as she grabs Crystal's wrists, pulling up on them as she steps her foot on the back of the Latina's head, then stomps her face first into the busted up chair, laying her out for good. The Queen's Court tower over the fallen forms of the two women while Susan snatches a microphone from a stage hand, bringing it to her lips.
Susan Rigger: Oh would you look at that, no winner, just a couple of laid out losers. Guess nobody is getting a shot at MY WWR World Championship after all.
[::The crowd boos loudly as the Queen's Court ruined a pretty damn good main event as it leaves WWR without a challenger for the World Championship at Through Heaven and Hell. Just when the crowd was really about to lose it, WWR Owner Michael Showtime appears on the Tron from his office backstage and interrupts the Courts celebration...::]
Michael Showtime: Really Susan? Come on now...when has this EVER worked in professional wrestling? You can't be this stupid! Well hold that thought, you turned on my wife two weeks ago so maybe you are!
[::The crowd does a loud "Whoaaaa!" as Susan goes to speak again but Showtime cuts her off.::]
Michael Showtime: Yea no, you've talked more than enough on this show tonight. It's my turn now. Tonight's show was appropriately titled A New Challenger. So guess what champ? Due to the actions of yourself and the Queen's Court you now have yourself TWO new challengers as you will defend the WWR World Championship at Through Heaven and Hell against both Malaya Diyosa and Crystal Zdunich!
[::Susan throws the microphone as she starts screaming at the tron so loudly she doesn't even need the microphone as her voice causes Jessica to cringe a bit over how high pitched she's getting as the Owner drops one more announcement.::]
Michael Showtime: Oh, and before I forget. EVERYONE is banned from ringside. There will be absolutely NO interference from ANY contracted member of the WWR roster or they will be fired on the spot. Best of luck champ, you're gonna need it!
[::The tron goes black as Susan is about to absolutely lose it but the other three members of the Court do their best to keep her calm as the crowd loudly cheers the announcements given to them by the Owner.::]
Alexis Rose: Well hot damn we've got ourselves a triple threat!
Monica Powers: I certainly didn't see that one coming, but then again... I didn't expect the Queen's Court to stoop so low as to get involved in this match to begin with!
Alexis Rose: I wish I could say I was surprised by the Court's actions, but after next week...I won't put anything past them...
Monica Powers: The thing about the main event now, Susan could lose the WWR World Championship without being pinned or submitted! She really screwed herself here tonight and has no one to blame but herself!
Alexis Rose: We will see what happens at Through Heaven and Hell but we are out of time! Have a good night everybody! See you all in two weeks at the pay per view!!
