Location: Pittsburgh, PA

WWR DARK RESULTS:

Match #1: Simply Glamorous vs. Hollywood Perfection (Zenna Zdunich, Halo, and Jenni Taylor)

There was an entertaining six woman tag team match on WWR Dark as Hollywood Perfection picked up a measure of revenge over Simply Glamorous for their attack on their stablemates at the pay per view with Jenni got the pinfall victory over Mercedes.

[::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 from the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The fallout from Rising II is upon us and the crowd is hot and loud on a Friday night as they get ready for another exciting edition of Battleground. The cameras pan through the crowd as the fans hold up their signs and jump up and down as you see signs like...::]

CAN THE FROST KINGDOM MELT?

GET WELL SOON BOBBI

THE CHEST KNOWS BEST

BRITTANY SUCKS

And...

THE QUEEN WAS DETHRONED

[::The official song of WWR 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: Rising II is in the books and we're ready for the aftermath on a brand new night! Welcome to Women's Wrestling Revolution Battleground! Coming to you live here 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, how does it feel to be in the Frost Kingdom tonight?

Monica Powers: Mixed emotions, Alexis! While I'm excited to see Eliza defend her Revolutionary Championship against Keira Johnson tonight, I'm still sick to my stomach over how Rising II closed two weeks ago!

Alexis Rose: For those who missed it, our new General Manager, Leonie Frost...made Bobbi Jackson compete in an immediate match with Dominique after becoming the WWR World Champion inside the Elimination Chamber and due to the wear and tear on her body throughout the course of the evening suffered an injury and will be out for an undetermined amount of time. We have Bobbi Jackson here tonight via satellite to talk to us about the injury, Bobbi it's good to see you...how are you feeling?

[::The Tron on the entrance stage at the Petersen Events Center lights up as the crowd can see Bobbi Jackson sitting on her couch at home, the crowd all pops huge as the Phoenix smiles as best she can and responds...::]

Bobbi Jackson: I could be a lot better, but it is what it is. Thanks for having me.

Monica Powers: Now Bobbi, you pretty much had to wrestle five times at Rising II. In the end, you came out of the evening injured. Can you tell us what happened and how long you will be expected out for?

[::Bobbi sighs softly and nods.::]

Bobbi Jackson: Well Monica, I felt something go in my knee when Susan grabbed me for the Rigger Plex on Dominique's way to the ring. When I went to get it checked out with the specialist after the show I found out I have a torn meniscus in my knee. I had to get it scoped and I'll probably be out for like a month and a half from when my injury took place. So God willing I hope to be back in a WWR ring by the end of the year.

Alexis Rose: Well I guess we should all be thankful that it could have been a lot worse. When you get back? What are your goals?

Bobbi Jackson: Look, I know the easy answer would be to go back after the Queen's Court...and I damn well might just do that for them putting me on the shelf. HOWEVER, if those bitches in the Beautification Movement continue to run their mouths about me? They might not like what happens to them when I get back!!!

[::The crowd cheers loudly at that idea.::]

Monica Powers: That could certainly be interesting! Thank you for your time Bobbi and we hope to see you back in the ring soon!

Bobbi Jackson: Thanks guys, have a kick ass show tonight....I'll be watching!

[::The feed cuts and Monica and Alexis send the show to it's first very quick commercial break of the evening.::]

[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break and opens up backstage in the catering area. A blonde woman in her wrestling gear has her back turned to the camera. When the woman turns around with a cheese cracker in her hand, it is WWR’s newest signee Cassie Mason. In no rush to devour the entire cracker, she takes small nibbles. Suddenly, coming into the scene is Malaya Diyosa. With a smile, Cassie grabs what we can assume to be her off Iphone off the table. She doesn’t give Malaya time to respond as she slips her arms around her waist. Holds the camera up to take a quick selfie. She doesn’t complete the selfie, Malaya breaks away from the blonde. A frown forms on Cassie’s face.::]

Cassie Mason: Awww, come on, don’t be a party popper Mal. I can call Mal right?

Malaya Diyosa: Uhh, sure? Why are you selfieing with me? We're about to head into a big six pack challenge, and I'm going in there to win and get that Battleground title shot… even if I have to go through you.

[::She said with a scowl, folding her arms across her chest as she spoke to her.::]

Cassie Mason: Why wouldn’t I take a selfie with the hottest woman on the roster not named Cassie Mason. That sounded too arrogant...

[::Cassie shrugs, not caring whether her self boast was dripping in arrogance.::]

Cassie Mason: Somethings never change. No matter what company I go to, all these serious party poopers who think becoming champion is the end all be all. OMG, I need to win this match. OMG, look at the shiny championship I need to justify my existence. The Chest wants to validate her self worth. Zoe Jane is a two time champion around here, loses one tag match, stops teaming with her girlfriend. I read Stephanie’s RevWire. Depressing. Anya, I just think she wants to hurt whoever stands in her way. And then there is you--

[::Cassie points to Malaya.::]

Cassie Mason: The best wrestler on this roster. The one who can become the face of the company. You shouldn’t be in this match. You challenged for the World Title, remember? Can the others say that? Nope. Not at all. Yet you need to win this? For what? Being Battleground Champion is a chaotic pile of mess. Don’t sweat it. I’ll take the burden off your hands. Unlike everyone in this match who needs the Battleground Championship, I can have a good time with it. You’ll thank me later. Promise.

[::Cassie crosses her heart. Malaya knew she was buttering her up, but, she was taking the bait. She enjoyed the pep talk, and smiled a bit at Cassie. Malaya would ponder her situation and spoke to her.::]

Malaya Diyosa: You do have a point. I should have my one on one shot at the champion… after all that five-head Crystal Zdunich was the one that cost me…

[::She said while musing at the fact she should be top of the card.::]

Malaya Diyosa: But at the same time, I need to earn that spot, and that means I need some big wins. And beating people like Anya and Zoe, former champions, is a very big stepping stone to the front of the pack. I absolutely have to take them down tonight.

Cassie Mason: You make a lot of sense.

[::Cassie goes back to nibbling on her cracker. Shrugging, she stuffs the rest of the cracker into her mouth, chews on it. Swallowing the rest of her snack, her attention goes back to Malaya.::]

Cassie Mason: Promise me if you lose, don’t lose your smile in the process. I know we barely know each other. You probably won’t give me a second thought after this match is over, regardless of the outcome. But I want you to promise me you won’t lose yourself. Part of what led me here. I became so consumed with finally reaching the top of the mountain I lost all sense of who I was; I became a complete debbie downer. Became mean. Vicious. A real sad sack. Took me being unemployed to get my perspective back. That’s what it comes down to, perspective Malaya.

[::Cassie grabs Malaya’s hands.::]

Cassie Mason: A little birdie tells me there is a lot more to you than what you’ve shown the world. Maybe I am blinded by how hawt you are, heh, I don’t think I am. Promise you won’t become a complete debbie downer if you lose? One more promise... if you win, pin me. I’ll sleep a little better at night that way.

[::Cassie winks. Malaya was a bit dumbfounded by her statement, as Cassie had a raw, sexual energy about her that made her intriguing, yet, dangerous.::]

Malaya Diyosa: I've had enough setbacks already… this should be my time to shine, regardless.

[::She stated while looking over Cassie and starting to smile.::]

Malaya Diyosa: But, I'm not forgetting my objective. The people of western culture have seen Asian wrestlers as stereotypes and sideshow acts for too long. I am going to prove to the world what I'm made of.

[::Cassie nods showing she understands.::]

Cassie Mason: I don’t expect anything less.

[::Cassie takes her hand back. She wraps her hands behind her back.::]

Cassie Mason: Don’t be too mad at me when I show you, everyone in our match and the WWR roster when I bring the party, I REALLY bring the party. A fun time will be had. If anyone is going to bring an end to this party, it’s going to be me.

[::For the first time this entire conversation Cassie’s fun loving demeanor simmers down a bit, showing the hint of a serious competitor. In an instant the smile comes back.::]

Cassie Mason: May the best woman win.

[::Before Malaya can say another word, Cassie waves goodbye, spins on her heels and walks away to leave Malaya to ponder the conversation she just said with one of her competitors. The show shifts and everything comes into focus and as it does we are treated to the sight of Stephanie Sullivan standing in front of a mirror. She smiles warmly as she is putting on some lipstick as she is clad in her traditional black and white wrestling gear. She looks right into the mirror as she slowly turns around and stares at the camera man.::]

Stephanie Sullivan: Oh I guess it’s that time isn’t it?! It’s time for this interview when you all wish to know my thoughts… Let me just say for starters I definitely look amazing don’t I?!

[::Stephanie smiles twirling in front of the mirror as she can’t help but speak.::]

Stephanie Sullivan: If I had to rate myself I am definitely a 15 out of 10. This makeover is definitely amazing. I feel like I am a brand new person and nobody can tell me different. However with a new look you have to expect a brand new me and I just want to say I don’t appreciate how things have been going for me in WWR. When I first came to this company it was to team up with my sister and my best friend Crystal Zdunich. We were the Motor City Maidens and it was supposed to be something that was great. However nothing ever came my way. Crystal went on to do her own thing in the Battleground division and Allison never really cared about anything to be honest.

[::Stephanie seems befuddled as she continues to speak.::]

Stephanie Sullivan: As soon as things came back and this company saw new management. I thought that things were going to be different, but apparently was sister turned her back on me and Crystal once again had to do her own thing. Where does that leave me?! It left me on the backburner. Nobody paid attention to me. I thought I could maybe find a home with the Queens Court considering the history I had with sXp but that wasn’t the case. I thought maybe Crystal would find her way to me but it seems like she has other things going on. Although I will say Crystal has helped me in a personal level and for that I am VERY thankful. I have definitely seen happier days these past weeks.

[::Stephanie shakes her head with a sigh.::]

Stephanie Sullivan: I have been happier and this week when I walk into the six pack challenge I feel I have all of the tools in the world to actually win this match. I feel like this needs to be my time. I am sick and tired of being on the backburner. Sick and tired of watching the entire world go by and I am left in the dust wondering when will my number be called. When will I finally get into the hunt and develop into somebody who can actually become legendary. No reason to question what’s going to happen any longer because through hell or high water I will win. I must win… I am tired of doing the same old, same old, each and every single show. It’s time I step about of the box and finally claim what belongs to me, and that is a step to get to the next level. I will see all of you soon. Tonight this make over will not go to waste and I will win one way or another.

[::With that Stephanie kisses the mirror leaving a lipstick stain as we go elsewhere. We see the Chest emerges from the Beautification Movement’s locker-room, no longer flanked by her attorney nor her hired muscle, and a confident smirk is on her face. She turns towards the hallway, coming face to face with the camera. She smiles.::]

The Chest: Oh, The Chest didn’t see you there.

[::Chuckling a bit, she flips some hair back over her shoulder.::]

The Chest: You will notice that The Chest doesn’t have her usual accompaniments tonight, and with good reason. The threat of legal ramifications is no longer necessary… Lassindra Vodanya has returned to Russia.

[::She places a hand on her chest.::]

The Chest: And on behalf of everyone in the Beautification Movement, The Chest would like to wish her a speedy recovery. You see, we all had to listen to the same nonsense… the “fear my power”... the “Siberian Storm is back”... the “be afraid”. It was quite taxing, wasn’t it? And when Michael Showtime determined that Lassindra vs. The Chest would be no disqualifications and no countouts, many among you thought that The Chest was doomed. These were stipulations leading directly into Lassindra’s wheelhouse. The Chest may have been put into a losing situation… except where The Chest is concerned, there ARE no losing situations.

[::The Chest wags a finger before tapping her temple.::]

The Chest: No-no-no-no-NO! The Chest set out to prove that BRAWN will never be enough on it’s own when countered with BRAINS. The Chest is a Mensa-level IQ. The Chest knows what it takes to defeat a brute like Lassindra, and making it no disqualification made everything that The Chest wanted to do nice and legal. We both knew what the stakes were. We both knew what the conditions were. So all of this “poor Lassindra” talk? All of this static against The Chest?

[::The Chest shakes her head.::]

The Chest: No… The Chest won because she is the SMARTEST wrestler. And tonight, The Chest is going to win again because she is STILL the SMARTEST wrestler. I know a lot of you are waiting for the shoe to drop. You’re waiting for The Chest to get what’s coming to her. Well…

[::She nods.::]

The Chest: So is The Chest. Because two months ago, the Battleground Championship was JUST WITHIN The Chest’s grasp and was STOLEN by outside interference… ILLEGAL outside interference in more ways than one. Tonight is the first step in correcting that catastrophic injustice. Tonight, The Chest beats five other women, then in two weeks, The Chest becomes Battleground Champion! And you can take that prognostication to the bank… you know why?

[::She grins, leaning towards the camera.::]

The Chest: Because The Chest… knows… BEST!

[::Biting her tongue in a smile, she strides past the camera as the scene shifts to lead WWR interviewer Katrina Showtime, who can be seen backstage standing by...::]

Katrina Showtime: My guest at this time…

[::Anya Lebeaux steps into the scene, immediately placing her hand over the foam on the microphone. Lifting her head to look at Katrina, she draws a finger over her lips.::]

Anya Lebeaux: Shhhhhh…

[::Pulling her hand back, she smirks.::]

Katrina Showtime: Um…

Anya Lebeaux: I know… I KNOW what you’re going to say, Kitty. And no… the Elimination Chamber didn’t go as PLANNED. But that was always going to happen. Why? Because I’ve never been the type to PLAN. I just DO things. When I got involved with the Queen’s Court… I just DID that because I thought it would be something fun to do. And wouldn’t you know? I’m STILL… HERE!

[::She laughs. Katrina goes to speak, but Anya pulls the microphone back towards her.::]

Anya Lebeaux: Oh, they’ve TRIED to send their little messages, and they may leave me sore in the morning, but I always come back. For all their talk about putting people DOWN, there’s a STAGGERING lack of actual BODIES in the wake. It’s starting to really GET to me… so you know what I say?

[::Anya holds onto the microphone, looking to the camera.::]

Anya Lebeaux: I say TONIGHT… I tear through FIVE OTHER WOMEN… and Daria, you do your part in winning the Battleground Championship so in two weeks, we can stop all this FOREPLAY and FINALLY get down to it.

[::She laughs, pushing the microphone away as she exits the scene. Katrina, who was a glorified mic stand, appears bewildered.::]

Katrina Showtime: I guess Anya’s ready.

[::The scene shifts to Zoe Jane, who is seen taking a deep breath, her eyes closed as she focuses her mind, open hands pressed together before her as for a while she just stands there, breathing in and out, then turns to the camera and opens her eyes again.::]

Zoe Jane: It's a whole new jungle out there tonight. I'm back standing on my own in the ring, responsible for just myself. I think right now that suits me just fine. I'm sure there will be plenty of need to watch my own back in this Six Pack Challenge, but I like to think of it as, if you will, a trial by fire.

[::She places her hands on her hips, a confident smirk on her lips.::]

Zoe Jane: I was one half of the tag champions for a good while, but it's not like single competition is foreign soil to me, that's where I started out, after all. So I think I'm plenty ready to jump right on in at the deep end. The time teaming and training with Tiger has me sharper than ever and I am going to just cut down the competition to claim the shot at the Battleground Championship.

[::She points a thumb at herself, thumping her chest with it, which makes her round breasts jiggle ever so slightly.::]

Zoe Jane: If you thought I was a threat before, well you haven't seen anything yet. And if you didn't think that, you were just dead wrong to begin with. This tiger's fangs are sharper than ever and only getting sharper by the day, I've been taking special training and it's due to bear fruit any time now. Zoe Jane is ready to explode back onto the singles scene... no, not like THAT.

[::The shapely Asian shakes her head a bit, rolling her eyes.::]

Zoe Jane: The singles competition scene. Every bit as fierce as the tag one, but you have to stand on your own two feet... and I am more than ready to face the challenge again. Tigers are solitary hunters and tonight I'm going to prove I have tiger blood flowing through my veins. Tiger Pride for life!

[::She strikes a menacing pose, hands clenched into a claw-like position as she bares her claws, but then winks before heading off as the camera's view fades back to ringside for the next matchup..::]

Arianna Grey: Ladies and gentlemen, your opening contest tonight is a Six Pack Challenge match and it scheduled for one fall. The winner of this match will become the number one contender for the WWR Battleground Championship!

[::The six women are already in the ring, having come out over the course of the commercial break and the pre-taped segments that aired when WWR returned from the break. The referee is doing their best to keep them all separated but at the same time making sure they all know the rules.::]

Monica Powers: One of these six women will be challenging for the Battleground Championship in two weeks time, tonight we will crown an undisputed Battleground Champion, but before we do that...we will know their challenger!

Alexis Rose: A lot of star power in this match Monica, not to mention newcomer Cassie Mason. I really can't pick a winner here. It's going to be crazy, and it's going to be physical!

[::Finally all the women grow restless and finally just start attacking one another as the crowd cheers on in approval as the referee rings the bell to get this opening contest started..::]

DING! DING! DING!

As the bell rang, the action immediately got underway with five of the six competitors jumping into the fray. The one holdout - The Chest - took a step back to the corner, almost as if she was shouting out instructions to her opponents. Doing this caught the attention of Zoe Jane, who threw Stephanie Sullivan towards her. Sullivan collided with The Chest in the corner, causing both to stagger forward, Zoe catching them with dual clotheslines.

Cassie Mason, in her first match with WWR, found herself paired off against Anya Lebeaux alongside Malaya Diyosa. The pair worked tandem offense over the unpredictable Lebeaux, working her over in something of a plan. Lebeaux wasn’t taking the attacks lying down, working to stomp on feet and jam her thumb in her adversaries’ eyes to build an advantage, but they were able to overcome, ultimately smothering the woman. As the match wore on, The Chest was cast outside of the ring, Stephanie and Zoe continued battling, while Anya found herself thrown to the floor. Malaya and Cassie looked to plan what to do next, but as Malaya stepped towards the ropes, Cassie rolled her up…One… Two… Kickout!

Malaya looked to Cassie, who tried to shrug off the offending nature of her effort. Malaya slapped Cassie and, before she could recover, jumped onto her shoulders and rolled forward, looking for her own pin…One… Two… Kickout!

Cassie and Malaya both get back to their feet, looking at each other as the crowd begins to rumble in anticipation… only for that to be dashed as Anya trips Malaya from outside the ring, dragging her out to the floor! She rolls back under the ropes and ducks Cassie’s clothesline attempt. She fires off a pair of punches, grabbing Cassie’s head and throwing her over the top rope. Cassie catches the ropes and lands on the apron, but she doesn’t remain there long as Anya rebounds off the ropes and bounds through, spearing Cassie onto Malaya as the three crash to the floor in a heap!

Zoe was working Stephanie over in the corner. As she mounts the top rope, looking for a Moonsault Stomp, The Chest hops onto the apron, pushing her to the floor and going to the top herself! She mounts waiting as Stephanie gets up before jumping off with a front flip, looking for the Top Rope Fuckinator (Molly-go-round)! Stephanie, however, has this scouted and simply drops The Chest onto her back as soon as she has her legs on her shoulders, holding on for a sitout pin…One… Two… Broken by Zoe!

Zoe pulls Stephanie up, but this time, Sullivan drives a knee into her midsection, moving behind to grapple her arms and float over for a Vertebreaker! Zoe floats through to her feet, grappling Stephanie from behind and lifting her up for a German suplex, but Stephanie floats over, choosing instead to clip Zoe’s leg! As Zoe drops to a knee, Stephanie rebounds off the ropes, clotheslining her from behind. She rolls Zoe over and covers…One… Two… Kickout!

Outside the ring, Anya is doing her best to keep Cassie and Malaya occupied separately. Unfortunately for her, there were two of them and one of her. Working from behind, the two women overwhelmed Anya, driving her back into the ring. Once there, the pair hit her with a double suplex, after which Malaya floated over and covered…One… Two… Broken by Cassie!

Cassie immediately dropped down to cover her. One… Two… Broken by Malaya! The alliance was over and the two began to go at it with one another! The Chest saw an opportunity and snuck over, covering Anya! One… Two… Kickout!

Stephanie throws Zoe across the ring to the corner, looking for a lariat as she rebounded, but Zoe ducked under! As they spun around, Zoe caught Stephanie with a Michinoku Driver, holding on for the pin! One… Two… Broken by Cassie and Malaya! The women’s brawl spilled into the pinfall attempt in the middle of the ring, resulting in a melee that brought all four of them to the ropes. As they fight up against the ropes, Anya charges at the foursome, but gets caught by The Chest with a DDDDT! The Chest quickly covers, eying up the melee to make sure she’s unspotted…One… Two… Three!!

Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, ... The Chest!

[::Just as the referee slaps the mat for the third time, all four of the other women converge on the pinfall. Just a moment too late, however, as the referee calls for the bell and The Chest makes a hasty exit!::]

Alexis Rose: And the Chest is getting the hell out of dodge!

Monica Powers: Makes sense to me, you can celebrate in the back instead of chancing getting jumped by the people who didn't win!

Alexis Rose: The Chest will challenge whoever the Battleground Champion is in two weeks time! That should be interesting...

Monica Powers: So many possibilities! While we ponder over them all lets take a quick commercial break!

[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break and the show cut backstage to “Da Adorkable Angel” Azurine Vebbins and Trixie Decker discussing tonight’s match versus The Satsujin Triad. Giggling aplenty can be heard as Vebbins adjusts her microphone.::]

Azurine Vebbins: My outfit’s not too cheeky is it, Trixie? Ham it on a whole wheat bun I need to lace up my ballet flats…

[::“Da Hardheaded Housewife” bends over to lace up her ballet flats while waiting for Decker’s response.::]

Trixie Decker: I mean, it’s amazing. I won’t mind watching your back, that’s for sure...

[::Trixie blushes.::]

Trixie Decker: So, should we go over the plan of attack again?

Azurine Vebbins: We definitely should. Very relieved knowin’ you’ll be deyr to provide a helpin’ hand or two, y’know?

Trixie Decker: I’m always glad to be. I have to admit, most of what I know about them is they’re Malaya’s girls. That means they’re probably out to make us into an example. We need to do that to them first.

Azurine Vebbins: Which will probably require frequent taggin’. Appreciate runnin’ extra drills so I know your choreography as well as…

[::Vebbins lets out a college coed chuckle to indicate her camaraderie with Trixie. Meanwhile, Trixie side-hugs Azzie.::]

Trixie Decker: Y’know, most of my early career was tag. It’s been a long time since I trusted anyone enough to want to do this again, but you make me feel really calm in the ring. It’s nice. And I feel like I have to work harder to not let you down.

[::“Da Vivacious Variable” gives a saccharine-sweet smile before replying.::]

Azurine Vebbins: Dat’s why I believe we’ll succeed, Trix.

[::Trixie nods nervously.::]

Trixie Decker: I just worry about being the weak link. So, I’m going to pre-emptively apologize in case… well…

[::Trixie swallows.::]

Trixie Decker: Okay, know what? Fuck it. We’re going to tear them apart and leave the pieces in the four corners of the ring! We’re going to walk out of the ring and they aren’t!

[::Vebbins submissively nods and blurts out something which might’ve been tiptoed around earlier.::]

Azurine Vebbins: [Joking.] And here I notioned you’d say we’d leave an impression like dat one time you shushed my tush...

[::Trixie blushes.::]

Trixie Decker: Uh, still sorry about that. Mostly. It’s a nice tush, but I promise clean tags tonight.

[::Trixie’s eyes glint mischievously.::]

Trixie Decker: Clean tags for us, clean pins on them!

[::“Da Damsel in Dat Dress” pouts to play off their playful dynamic.::]

Azurine Vebbins: Den I guess I should get a good teammate pat while you lead us to da dance floor, blestie?

[::Trixie smiles big and holds out her hand to Azzy::]

Trixie Decker: Well, then, m’lady. I do believe our song is about to play. Shall we away to the dance floor?

[::Trixie takes Azurine’s hand and the two walk out towards the arena as the camera fades back to ringside for the next matchup.::]

Arianna Grey: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit, introducing first...

[::The Triad theme "Hong Kong Krunch from the Twisted Metal 2 Soundtrack" would play, as Nari and Cappadonna would make their way to the top of the ramp, as Nari and Cappadonna would both raise their left fists in the air briefly, as they head down the ramp toward the ring.::]

Arianna Grey: Representing the Satsujin Triad, the team of Cappadonna and Nari Chang!

Alexis Rose: Malaya wasn't able to win the Six Pack Challenge earlier tonight, I wonder if the rest of her stable will rebound?

Monica Powers: If not, it's probably going to be a long trip home for the Triad...

[::The Triad enter the ring and get on opposite corners, posing briefly for the crowd, as they ready for their fight against the newly formed team of Azurine Vebbins and Trixie Decker..::]

Arianna Grey: And their opponents...

[::As "Radio Gaga by Queen" prominently plays throughout the arena, "The Adorkable Angel" Azurine Vebbins pirouettes onto the entrance ramp followed by Trixie Decker. Two spotlights provides an ethereal glow as she begins to descend down the ramp like an automaton practicing aerobics with Trixie following behind her.::]

Arianna Grey: The team of Trixie Decker and the Adorkable Angel...Azurine Vebbins!

Monica Powers: I can't lie, Alexis. I really like this pairing!

Alexis Rose: They do make a pretty great team, and now they have a cohesive unit in the Triad, lets see how they do!

[::Trixie walks behind her partner as Azzy 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 as Trixie strikes a pose for the crowd. The referee gets both teams into their respective corners before ringing the bell to get this tag match underway.::]

DING! DING! DING!

Azurine and Cappadonna would start the match off, as the two circle the ring feeling each other out. Azurine would go for a traditional test of strength, as Cappadonna acts as if she were going for the lock-up, but hits her with a stiff kick to her ribs. With the sneaky kick connecting, she transitioned her over with a judo style hip toss, and has her downed with an armbar to apply pressure to her. Azurine was grounded by the move, while Cappadonna would manipulate her joints to cause more pressure. She would try to contort her wrist back further, but, Azurine slowly gets to her feet and reversed into a temporary arm wrench, before freeing Cappadonna and hitting her with a standing dropkick.

When Cappadonna gets to her feet, Azurine tripped her up into a Boston Crab, as she puts pressure on her lower back. Cappadonna would crawl not to the ropes, but to her partner, which the newly minted tag team did not expect. Cappadonna would tag Nari, while in the hold, as Azurine dragged her back, in which Nari runs in and hits her with a big running knee lift to the back of the head. With Azurine dazed, Nari would pull her in for a vertical suplex, and floats over for a pin, though, it is a kickout at 2. Agitated with her, she grabbed Azurine by the hair and tossed her across the ring. Azurine was being beaten down, as she was being stalked by Nari. When she gets up, Nari lifted her up for a chokebreaker, but, Azurine countered into a DDT, as she scrambled to tag in Trixie Decker. Trixie climbed to the top rope, as Nari gets up slowly, and is caught by a diving lungblower, which Trixie goes for a pin. 1.. 2.. no!

Trixie looked a bit annoyed, as she tried for a gut wrench suplex, though, Nari held her ground and sets up for a back body drop to send her up and over, landing hard on her back. Nari would hold Trixie in a sidewalk slam position, as she tagged in Cappadonna, who leapt in with a guillotine leg drop, as she covered, but, Trixie kicked out just before the 3 count.

Cappadonna would start to get Trixie to her feet, as she wrenched her arm, looking for a hook kick. However, Trixie ducked the strike and has her in position for a pumphandle suplex, as she hoisted her up and over. With Cappadonna launched from the move, Nari would attempt to blitz Azurine to avoid a tag out, but, Azurine would fall back and low bridge the top rope to force Nari to tumble to the outside. Trixie would tuck Cappadonna in, and hits the Jinx Bomb for the cover. 1.. 2.. 3!

Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, the team of Azurine Vebbins and Trixie Decker!

[::Azzy and Trixie celebrated their tag team win as the Triad rolled to the outside, angry and quietly bickering at one another.::]

Monica Powers: A big win for Vebbins and Decker!

Alexis Rose: For sure, but a tough loss for the Triad!

Monica Powers: You can't win em all, Alexis...

Alexis Rose: You're not wrong there, I'm sure they'll rebound next time. We'll be back with more Battleground right after this!

[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break and cuts backstage to the studio where we see a determined and confident Victoria Salinas sit on a wooden table with the WWR Chaos Championship slung over her shoulder. She’s in some very bright spirits, especially coming off of a title defense at Rising II. With the way things have been going for her as of late, she’s got every reason to be confident as she begins to express her thoughts.::]

Victoria Salinas: Needless to say, Rising II was one of the best nights of my WWR career so far… it’s definitely a top two night with of course, the night that I won this championship being the best one of all of them. It was one hell of a thrill representing my division by getting through my first defense and ensuring that someone like my opponent, who would’ve been a champion that only gave a damn about herself by the way, didn’t claim this championship. There was some intrigue on how I’d be able to handle this title defense especially considering that it took me quite some time to be a champion again and how my first defense was against someone who I had trouble defeating before in a division that some considered out of my element, but I know that I passed my first big test as the Chaos Champion with flying colors! Still… Rising was just the continuation of the mission that I’ve set out to have as the Chaos Champion and there is still plenty of work to be done. Tonight is one of those nights where there are going to be plenty to look forward to.
I’m going to know who my next defense is going to be, which in and of itself is exciting enough… and then you have my opponent tonight…

[::Victoria takes a pause as she begins to think about Kate Steele. Her mood nor her confidence wavers at all even though she knows exactly what type of opponent Kate can be.::]

Victoria Salinas: Kate Steele and I have some similarities. We’re both seen as classic, top notch technical wrestlers. We both bring quite an extensive career into WWR. We’re both motivated and determined to be our very best… even if our ways of being motivated and determined are different. Kate’s a passionate one, there’s no denying that. She’s always driven to go out and prove herself… although there are some times where she CAN get carried away… but as someone who has also been there before, I get it. Kate is someone who doesn’t slow down and pushes as hard as she can to get to where she wants to be. She’s someone that truly wants to shine and be a star. But she’s also made some enemies along the way. Envy Ellis sure as hell didn’t like her when Kate kept trying to push for a shot at the championship that Envy held at the time. Charlotte Halliday was so frustrated and annoyed by her that she made her title defense against her an Inferno match.

She is just as capable of making enemies as she is of being a champion. I know she’s going to REALLY talk the talk… and hey, that’s another similarity that we have. But no matter what type of challenge that she brings, I’m going to come out on top. Inside that ring, we’re about even, I acknowledge that. But in the hardcore game? I know I have an edge on that because I was never a stranger to hardcore wrestling… even before I was ever Chaos Champion… because the first title I EVER won in this business was a hardcore championship and I’ve endured some hellacious matches throughout my long career. Not to say that she hasn’t, but I know what I can do. The big difference here in WWR is that I’ve made that step up with this Chaos Championship. Kate’s had some solid attempts herself but she hasn’t quite gotten there yet.

Another difference? Kate is doing everything that she can to continue to boost her profile and I absolutely understand that coming from someone who spent years focusing on that same thing. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that approach to the business… even if that approach isn’t for me anymore…But I do this for a purpose, many in fact. These purposes? Being the best WWR Chaos Champion that I can be for this division, to continue to represent this division proudly!

Being a shining example of the way things are supposed to be in WWR. I’m not exactly happy with what is happening around me with the Queen’s Court and all of that, but they don’t have my title and it’s not my place to worry about them or anything that happens. I do what I do now for purposes greater than myself which is why I’ve been as successful as I’ve been. I don’t need this to be a star, or to raise my profile. It’s a life dream of mine that I no longer take for granted. And tonight? I’m going to continue to set a positive example around here. Kate’s going to be tough, I’ll give her that. But tonight, she gets to know what a champion in WWR is truly like!

[::Victoria slides off the table and walks away, continuing to maintain her poise and her confidence as the scene fades out and when it comes back in we see Diamond Steele. Her eyes just seemed not impressed as she sighs and begins to speak.::]

Diamond Steele: There is so much I can say about Victoria Salinas…

[::Ruby Steele shrugs her shoulders with a sigh as she continues to speak.::]

Ruby Steele: Honestly things are going to be completely OUTRAGEOUS!!!! My cousin is truly outrageous and stepping into the ring with the Chaos Champions could be sooo sooo awesome! It could be super cool it could be…

[::Diamond just sighs as she replies back.::]

Diamond Steele: With all due respect it looks like I am going to be competing in a table match. I honestly don’t care about being in the ring with Victoria to be honest. I don’t really care about the Chaos Championship and it’s no disrespect to Victoria as a competitor or anything like that. It’s just the fact that I told the world that I gave up on Hardcore wrestling. It’s not something I want to do. I have already climbed to the top of Hardcore wrestling on 8 different occasions and that is spread across different companies. What do I really have to gain from doing it all over again?!

[::Diamond just shrugs her shoulders.::]

Diamond Steele: The reality is I don’t think anything but for me personally a win over any champion is something that can be considered important. I need to beat Victoria to showcase I have the talent to bounce back in any company. I am ready to showcase to the world that I have all of the talent in the world. I can be a main event talent. I can be a top tier athlete and this is the type of opportunity I can’t let past me by.

[::Diamond sighs as she continues to speak.::]

Diamond Steele: So through everything I will be giving Victoria the fight of a lifetime. I know she is worthy of everything. Worthy of all of the praise that she gets however don’t underestimate me because that is when I will strike back hard. See you soon and best of luck.

[::The cameras fade out and return to ringside for the next match of the evening...::]

Arianna Grey: The following contest is a Tables match! Introducing first...

[::"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!

Alexis Rose: Steele has been in a lot of hardcore matches throughout her career, and she certainly has a shot here!

Monica Powers: You don't have to pin or submit the champ, just put her through a table! Let's see how it goes!

[::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 her opponent to arrive.::]

Arianna Grey: And her opponent...

[::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 with the Chaos Championship over her shoulder. 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: From Columbia Falls, Montana. She is the WWR Chaos Champion...Victoria Salinas!

Monica Powers: Here comes the champ!

Alexis Rose: Hopefully she's not looking past her opponent tonight and toward who is going to win the hardcore fatal 4 way later on this evening, that wouldn't be wise...

[::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, while she waits for the referee to ring the bell to get this tables match underway...::]

DING! DING! DING!

Diamond fires out of her corner fast and connects with a running spinning heel kick that surprises the champion. Victoria is back to her feet fairly quickly but gets taken right back down with a springboard arm drag. Victoria gets to her feet only to be hit with a running dropkick that sends her back into the corner. Diamond continues to use her speed and quickness as she connects with a middle rope springboard leg drop. Diamond looks outside at one of the tables and starts to slide out, but Victoria is getting back to her feet. Diamond goes to the apron, leaps up, and connects with a springboard hurricanrana. Victoria sort of rolls through and gets to her feet, but it’s obvious she’s a bit wobbly. Diamond takes advantage of that and hits a big tornado DDT, spiking the champion skull first into the mat. Diamond feels confident now and slides outside the ring.

She grabs up a table and instead of setting it up, she starts carrying it towards the ring. She lifts it up and works to get it onto the ring apron to slide inside the ring when Victoria does some sliding of her own with a baseball slide right into the table. The force sends the table crashing into Diamond’s midsection and allows Victoria to follow up with a cross body to the outside. Victoria then decides to slow things down a bit. She pulls Diamond up to her feet and then puts her right back on to the floor with a big snap suplex. Victoria continues to simplify as she hits a neckbreaker. Victoria looks at the table and then shakes her head. Victoria instead picks Diamond back up off the floor and puts her right back down again with a Russian leg sweep. Victoria notices Diamond is still pretty close to the table and decides to make some space. Victoria hauls Diamond up and whips her towards the barricade, but it’s reversed and Victoria crashes into the barricade with a hard thud. Diamond charges forward and leaps up with a cross body that sends herself and Victoria tumbling over the barricade and down to the concrete floor.

Diamond is the first to her feet and she pulls herself up and over the barricade. Diamond stumbles forward to the table that had been knocked into her midsection and picks it up again. Diamond struggles with the table a bit but manages to get it onto the ring apron. Diamond pushes the table inside the ring and then goes to slide in, but Victoria is back and she grabs Diamond off the ring apron hitting a big belly to back suplex on the floor. Victoria hauls Diamond up and tosses her backward into the barricade, this time getting things done. Diamond stumbles forward clutching her back when Victoria runs up and drives her down with a big bulldog. Victoria feels confident that she has her opponent down for long enough to slide inside the ring and set up the table. Victoria grabs the table and brings it over to the corner. Victoria uses the legs of the table to brace over the top rope and the floor as it’s set up ramp style. Victoria turns expecting to see Diamond still on the floor, but instead, she’s flying off the top rope with a big springboard crossbody. Both women are slow to recover, both using the ropes to slowly pull themselves up.

Victoria charges in with a clothesline, but Diamond manages to duck it, hits the ropes, and comes back with a big float over DDT, again driving the Chaos Champions cranium first into the mat. Diamond goes over to the table and pulls it out of the corner, setting up off to the side. Victoria is slowly getting up when Diamond turns, runs in and this time connects with a float over neckbreaker. Diamond knows that a win here can put her in title contention and she wants that gold. Diamond pulls Victoria up and sends her into the corner with a hard Irish Whip. Diamond follows with a big running dropkick that rocks Victoria, leaving the champion dazed and allowing Diamond to pull the table in front of the corner to get set for what she hopes will lead her to victory.

Diamond hauls Victoria up to her feet and then raises her up onto the top rope. Diamond clutches her back after that, the attacks earlier in the match definitely weakening her a bit. Diamond climbs to the middle rope and delivers a few forearm shots, then turns and positions herself on the middle rope beside Victoria. Diamond gets set for the Diamond cutter and looks to leap off, but Victoria delivers a shot to Diamond’s back and she instinctively reaches back in pain. This gives Victoria the opening she needs to hit a big back elbow to the face. Victoria grabs the arm of Diamond and uses the ropes to propel both of them forward, hitting a slightly modified Vanity Breaker that sends Diamond crashing through the table.

Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, ... Victoria Salinas!

[::The referee hands Victoria her title as she raises it in victory while the referee checks on Steele.::]

Alexis Rose: She didn't look past her opponent tonight, great match!

Monica Powers: Both women gave it their all. Tonight it was a W for the champ!

Alexis Rose: I'm sure she's going to settle in the locker room in front of the monitors to watch the fatal four way later tonight.

Monica Powers: Oh for sure, she needs to find out who's coming for that Chaos Championship!

Alexis Rose: We will find out later on tonight, but for now...a quick commercial break!

[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break and we see Bobbi's Angels stand in a hallway, waiting for the time to walk out onto the stage along with Misti. They're discussing something as the camera draws in closer and starts picking up the conversation.::]

Carmen DeVega: Like, do they ACTUALLY think anyone buys into their excuses? Or they so self-delusional they actually believe their BS themselves?

Giselle Anderson: I have no clue, I wouldn't be one bit surprised if they were such massive egomaniacs the bunch of 'em that they WOULD buy into their own nonsense. Regardless, tonight the only "movement" I'm interested in seeing is them getting moved onto their backs and pinned 1, 2, 3.

[::Carmen laughs a bit.::]

Carmen DeVega: That's definitely the kind of motion I can get behind. We are going to teach these girls a lesson or few tonight and if I thought they had the slightest lick of sense between them I'd actually hope what they learn would stick, but unfortunately I just don't have that kind of faith in them.

Giselle Anderson: Hey now, don't go thinking that they aren't a threat, though. There's a reason they are the champions at this specific game. They know how to use their numbers and aren't afraid of playing dirty as much as they need to. They can excuse it to themselves after the fact anyway.

[::The Latina Angel snickers a bit.::]

Carmen DeVega: I dunno, numbers may not exactly be their forte, they've barely learned their ABCs.

[::Giselle shakes her head at her friend and partner as she crosses her arms across her chest.::]

Giselle Anderson: I'm serious, we are NOT taking them lightly, I refuse to make THAT simple of a slip-up at this point of my career. You know very well people with big mouths and bigger egos can seem even dumber than they actually are.

[::Carmen can't help but concede that point and nod in agreement.::]

Carmen DeVega: You ain't wrong. Better play it safe and figure that being that impossibly dumb actually IS impossible and it's just how they come across. One thing is for certain though, they are NO Bobbi's Angels when it comes to what we can do in that ring, so lets show them just how it's done and see if MAYBE something gets through their skulls.

Giselle Anderson: "Something" like your foot?

[::Giselle sticks her tongue out at Carmen, who does the same before both Angels burst out laughing and the scene fades back to ringside for the next matchup.::]

Arianna Grey: The following contest is a six woman tag team match scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit, introducing first...

[::"Send Me An Angel '89 by Real Life" hits the speakers, the crowd bopping along to it, as through the curtains burst Bobbi's Angels, Carmen and Giselle side by side as they pause to pose with Misti Malandro standing behind them looking intimidating as always, Carmen leaning on one leg, the other stuck out to the side as she gives a flex of her biceps, Giselle standing behind her with arms spread. The two laugh as they high-five, before all three women head on down to the ring, slapping the reaching for them hands of fans.::]

Arianna Grey: Representing the Phoenix Coalition, the team of Misti Malandro and the WWR World Tag Team Champions, Carmen DeVega and Giselle Anderson...Bobbi's Angels!

Alexis Rose: This should be a fun six woman tag, I just wish we would have heard something from Misti heading into this matchup.

Monica Powers: She certainly has been quiet as of late, hopefully her mind is on the match in front of her.

[::Giselle heads up the steel steps while Carmen hops onto the apron, looking about the crowd before nodding to Giselle as they both step in through the ropes simultaneously, then head to the far side's corners, posing a bit more for the fans as Misti stands in the middle of the ring flexing a bit for the fans. Eventually, the Angels join in the middle of the ring and the three of them bump fists, ready for the match to begin.::]

Arianna Grey: And their opponents...

[::Inside the Petersen Events Center, the lights dim and then the screen glows to life as some very cheesy seventies like music begins to play.::]

“Once upon a time there where three stupid women who went to a wrestling academy”

[::The voiceover booms through the arena as we see Giselle Anderson, Carmen DeVega, and Misti Malandro in action.::]

“Each of them was absolutely awful and barely got work, but as fate would have it, they were found by a dumb bitch and now they work for her. These are Bobbi’s Angels.”

[::We see the three of them side by side, but then the video suddenly pauses.::]

Juliana: Wait wait wait, only 2 of them are Bobbi’s Angels. The third one is…

[::The lights come back up slightly and we see that the WWR Trios champions are seated in their thrones at the top of the stage with Cayla holding a voice modulator as she was apparently doing the voice-over.::]

Juliana: Okay, we have the two angels who took advantage of Zoe Jane and Super Tigers' relationship issues to take the tag team titles, and uhm... damn it, who did they team her up with. I’d like to have her on the tip of my tongue, but I just can not remember her name.

Milana: Mystical Misti Malandro. You do not remember her name because other than looking good in athletic gear, she has done nothing.

[::Milana sits there with her normal setups demeanor, her voice calm and almost monotone as she reminds Juliana of their third opponent. There was a brief pause, as Cayla moved the voice modulator from her mouth in confusion.::]

Cayla: Wait… that sounds stupid. No one would watch that, even in the '90s when Baywatch was a thing.

Milana: Americans don't exactly have the best taste… they killed Firefly off but left The Simpsons around as a shambling corpse.

Cayla: That explains why they're in the company! Duh!

Juliana: I know, what kind of brain dead morons would watch those three? The only reason I can think of for them facing us is management knows that we bring ratings every time we are on screen. Put the three of us in with a broom, a blow-up doll, and oh what’s something else that can’t actually wrestle? Or right, Misti Malandro.

[::Juliana laughs and smiles before taking a sip of the champagne that they always had set out for them.::]

Juliana: The only thing that Bobbi’s Angels have in common with any of the women that were in any version of Charlie’s Angels, is the name. Well, Carmen might be as uninteresting as Kristen Stewart. She was in that new one, right? I’m pretty sure because she’s why nobody cared. Just like nobody cares about Bobbi or her so-called Angels. Everyone knows that THE Beautification Movement are the true stars of WWR.

Cayla: And Giselle is just Cameron Diaz with bigger boobs, and Misti smells like Mold-Enero is… someone?

[::She said with a bit of cluelessness, as she genuinely had no idea of her attitude of prestige.::]

Milana: Regardless of all of that. The three of us are the trios champions for a reason. We are simply the best 3 woman unit this company has to offer, and no hodge-podge team will change that.

Juliana: I could not have said it any better myself. See this is why you should always listen when we speak. People think because I happen to do most of the talking that Milana and Cayla can’t. They try and say that I’m being the leader or trying to take charge, but that’s just stupid. I have said time and time and time again that each one of us brings something special to the table, each one of us lifts the other. That is why we are the greatest group in not just WWR, but wrestling as a whole. Myself, Cayla, Milana, The Chest, and Grace are everything that the little court, the simple losers, and of course Bobbi’s bitches, wish they could be. Tonight, we prove that again.

Cayla: Yeah, because unlike the Coalition, we are a unit. We are equals, and none of us will rage quit like Zoe Jane because one of us gets a little more success than the other!

Milana: The only person that will be quitting is whoever I lock in that guillotine choke, and that will be a guarantee.

[::Juliana smirks, then all three women stand at the same time and pull off their robes revealing their matching gold ring gear. They grab their titles as their thrones are quickly taken away by six very muscular shirtless gentlemen.::]

Juliana: Now, all you pathetic little simps and all the bitches in the back, enjoy watching our asses as we walk down to that ring knowing that you can never have us or our titles.

[::Juliana takes Cayla and Milana’s hands as the trios champions walk down the ramp towards the ring in unison, the cameraman zooming in and going a bit low to give everyone a nice view.::]

Arianna Grey: They are the WWR Six Women Tag Team Champions...the team of Cayla Phoenix, Juliana Mendoza, and Milana Radek...THE Beautification Movement!

Monica Powers: Well that was certainly...something?

Alexis Rose: Typical mind games from the Beautification Movement, nothing they do surprise me anymore...

[::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 signals to both teams that they are about to start the match before ringing the bell to get this match started.::]

DING! DING! DING!

Misti Malandro and Cayla Phoenix are the first to meet up. Almost immediately Cayla takes control, woman-handling Misting and putting her through paces with chops, headlocks and kneelifts. A missile dropkick puts Misti on the mat and Cayla puts her in a Boston Crab. Miraculously, Misti pulls herself to the ropes and gets a begrudging break at four, follows by a stomp to the back.

Cayla tags Juliana in holding Misti in place for a series of cheapshots to the stomach before slamming her to the mat in a hairmare. Juliana bounds off the ropes and aims a kick for Misti’s face but Malandro greet her with a trip, rolling onto Juliana’s back and driving an elbow between her shoulder blades. Misti drags Juliana to the ropes and tags in Carmen, so pulls Juliana up by her arm, twisting it and slamming a chop on the elbow. She whips Juliana to the ropes and attempts to clothesline her, but Juliana grabs the arm and jumps, wrapping her legs around Carmen’s other arm. Carmen responds by falling backwards, driving Juliana to the mat. Both women rise and trade a series of blows, ending with Carmen slamming and elbow into Juliana’s sternum. Carmen goes for a pin but Juliana kicks out at one. Carmen goes to pull Juliana up only to get a claw rake across the eyes. Juliana rolls to her corner and tags in Milana.

Milana rushes at Carmen but Carmen catches her and flings her overhead in a suplex. Milana stomps a boot into Carmen’s face as she comes down. Carmen stumbles to her corner, tagging in Giselle. Giselle climbs the post and leaps off, slamming an axe hand into Milana as she stands. Milana falls to a knee. Giselle wraps her head in a side headlock and runs, bulldogging her foe to the mat. Giselle rolls Milana over for a pin but she doesn’t even get a one before a shoulder gets up. Both women tussle, trading blows and getting progressively more viscous to the point of screaming swears and threats. Finally, it’s Giselle who gets the upper hand again on Milana, slinging her into a corner and slamming a boot across her jaw. Giselle tags in Misti who jumps in and grabs an arm on Milana. Giselle grabs the other and they sling Milana to the ropes, aiming for a double clothesline as she rebounds.

Milana manages to duck the attack, bounding off the ropes again and landing a missile dropkick on both women. She immediately stands and kicks Giselle from the ring. Misti slowly rises, shaking off the cobwebs. Milana runs behind her and suplexes her, then pulls her up and delivers another suplex, this time keeping her pinned. One… two… three.

Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, THE Beautification Movement!

[::Carmen and Giselle get into the ring to assist Misti as the Beautification Movement hightail it up the ramp laughing and pointing at the three women in the ring.::]

Alexis Rose: Rough loss for the Coalition tonight...

Monica Powers: Misti just didn't seem to really be in sync with her tag team partners.

Alexis Rose: And when you're facing a trio of champs like the Beautification Movement, that's gonna bite you in the ass.

Monica Powers: I'm sure we'll never hear the end of this either...

Alexis Rose: Probably not, but what can you do? We'll be right back with more Battleground right after this!

[::WWE Battleground returns backstage, inside the ridiculously spacious Queen's Court locker room, we see Daria doing one handed push-ups, as she switched arms with each motion as she was firing herself up for her first title shot in the sport, as she was psyched for representing the Queen's Court, and hopefully bringing the belt home. She gets to her knees, as Jessica Jackson makes her way into the room, as Daria addressed her.::]

Daria Dorsey: Hey, Jess. I thought you'd enjoy finally showing Hollywood what you're made of.

[::She said with a bit of a laugh at the laughable group they're facing against later, while Jessica just kinda shrugs and sits down on a nearby couch in the room and sighs.::]

Jessica Jackson: I'm more worried about your match to be honest. I'm not worried about the main event right now...

[::The tattooed blonde says furrowing her brow a bit. Daria would stretch for her upcoming match, while looking at Jessica and laughing her assumption off.::]

Daria Dorsey: You've got to be kidding me. You think those two are a threat to me? Mayumi failed to defend her title to Brittany on her first night... and Brittany is nothing but a blemish on the company as a whole. If anything, me beating them is essential to the success of WWR as a whole, as well as the Court's empire.

[::Daria said confidently, before standing on her two feet, as she grabs a basketball from the shelf next to her, bouncing it in place.::]

Daria Dorsey: Without a doubt, I am the best athlete on this roster. Those two would be absolutely gassed in five to ten minutes, tops. They don't have a fraction of the conditioning I have, and that is something the Battleground title needs.

[::She said coldly, continuing to bounce the basketball.::]

Daria Dorsey: The title deserves a holder who has endurance that can handle the burden of defending it every show. Mayumi might... but, some Fortnite streamer who sits on her ass for a career? Not in a long shot.

[::Jessica looks at Daria rather sternly.::]

Jessica Jackson: Look, I have trained you well. And it's great that you're confident...HOWEVER, if you go into this match underestimating both women who are each holding a share of that championship right now, you're going to lose!

[::The younger Jackson sister says bluntly as she stands up looking directly at Daria trying to get through to her just how serious this match actually is for her and the rest of the Queen's Court. Daria would shake her head, as she bounced the ball still, a wicked grin coming across her face.::]

Daria Dorsey: Oh, you've done a fantastic job, and I'm definitely going to do the Court proud...

[::She said, but holds the ball and confirmed her confidence to Jessica.::]

Daria Dorsey: I know Mayumi can potentially win the match by pinning Brittany to get the belt she shouldn't have lost. Likewise, I know Brittany can pin Mayumi... after all, she has done this before.

[::She said, before shooting the ball behind her, as the rock hits the rim, bouncing up and falling into the net.::]

Daria Dorsey: But, I can guar-an-damn-tee neither of those two can even dream about pinning me or making me tap out.

[::Jessica sighs softly but isn't trying to lower Daria's confidence as she replies.::]

Jessica Jackson: Well, look...I'm going out there with you tonight. You won't be alone out there.

[::Daria would purse her lips, as she placed her hands on Jessica's shoulders while locking eyes with her.::]

Daria Dorsey: Of course, Jessica. Obviously you want to see your star pupil win her first title!

[::She said, oblivious to the lesson that Jessica was trying to teach Daria, as she smiled.::]

Daria Dorsey: Likewise, I'm going to watch you girls take care of those losers in the Hollywood Perfection, as you give them three big thumbs down!

Jessica Jackson: Well yea, but...one step at a time, okay...?

[::Jessica just wraps her arms around Daria hugging her tightly, she sees so much in Daria that she used to see in herself. She just hopes that Daria doesn't end up making all the same mistakes that she did.::]

Daria Dorsey: Absolutely. But, if.. or when I win, I'm treating you girls. You took this poor girl with no experience under your wing, and gave me everything I needed to succeed. So, I've got us a trip to the Napa Valley vineyards to celebrate!

[::She said, embracing Jessica, and holding her dearly while showing her gratitude for them.::]

Jessica Jackson: Sounds good...I look forward to it...

[::The tattooed blonde says softly as she rests her head on Daria's shoulder, patting her back a few times gently before resting her head on Dorsey's shoulder speaking softly in her ear.::]

Jessica Jackson: I'm very proud of you...

Daria Dorsey: Thank you, Jess... you don't know how much that means to me.

[::She said, as Daria always worked extra hard to try to prove herself to herself.::]

Daria Dorsey: I'm going to show you that accepting me wasn't a mistake.

[::Jessica nods as she lifts her head and looks Daria in her eyes.::]

Jessica Jackson: I absolutely know you weren't a mistake...

[::Jessica leans her head in a moment, thinking about giving Daria a kiss, but stops herself and quickly backs off. Knowing damn well right now is not the time to put something like that on Dorsey's mind. She lets out a nervously sounding laugh before pointing to the exit.::]

Jessica Jackson: Let's go win another title for the Queen's Court, okay?

Daria Dorsey: Of course. Seeing that belt around Brittany's waist makes me nauseous.

[::Daria said, as she would exit the room with Jessica behind her. We find ourselves in the backstage area and it is there where we can Brittany Williams. She doesn’t have a care in the world as she walks around with her Battle Ground Championship in her hand. She shakes her head in utter disgust as she looks around and just sighs.::]

Brittany Williams: Hello to all of you stupid idiots out there. It is I your Battle Ground Champion and I just want to say it feels absolutely amazing to be the most supercalifragilisticexpialidocious champion of all time. I am the absolute best and it seems that everybody in this company is absolutely stupid. Stupid, stupid, and more stupid…. Now yours truly has been on the RevWire and both of these opponents just seem STUPID TO ME!!!

[::Brittany sighs in disgust as she continues to speak.::]

Brittany Williams: What WWR doesn’t realize is that I am the champion that they necessarily may not want but I damn sure this company needs. You say annoying like it’s a bad thing but I say annoying just means I can take this championship and shove it down each and every single one of your throats. I feel disgusted that my reign is tarnished by having to share it with somebody else and Mayumi needs to just get the hell the way out of the title picture. She is a stain to the entire title and she loves to talk up things like honor and how she plans to do this and do that…

[::Brittany sighs in disgust.::]

Brittany Williams: No matter how much you try to spin it the fact of the matter is you got beat. There is no turning back from it. Your ass got beat and you just need to get over it… There shouldn’t be a CO anything because I haven’t lost anything. You should have never been in the ladder match to begin with because had your dumb ass not been so STUPID you would have saw that I would have done whatever is necessary to beat you. In this business it’s a dog eat world and you just got owned. Am I a Brat?! Damn right I am a huge Brat… I am better than you. I was born into this business and what I have learned from my parents is that I deserve everything in the world. You can take your honor and just shove it. I actually brought the respect to this title. I elevated to the point EVERYBODY wants to fight me. Whether or not it’s because they want to shut me up it really doesn’t matter. The fact still remains people want to fight ME! They want to see ME! You were merely a champion who was just there.

[::Brittany seems bored shaking her head.::]

Brittany Williams: Yes you might have taken the title from Eve and I am sure that was a good thing but as it was seen you were just a transitional champion at best. You lost it right to me which means you weren’t ready for Prime Time! So I doubt you will be able to really deal with it tonight!

[::Brittany shakes her head as she continues to speak.::]

Brittany Williams: And of course I guess that brings me to the other person in this match in the form of Daria… She is an idiot. She acts like I have never played any sports before. She acts like all I have done is play video games and that couldn’t be further from the truth. Unlike whatever she thinks I know I am somebody and I know for a fact I am better than her. Look at Daria rolling with the Queens Court. She plans to bring gold back to a stable and while that sounds great on paper I will have you know my family just formed a group. My mom, step mom, wife, and what not. Guess what though, you don’t see me rolling with them do you?!

[::Brittany shakes her head.::]

Brittany Williams: Of course not because at the end of the day I am my own woman! I am right here by myself and I don’t need anybody by my side. I walk alone and come this week I will beat both of these ladies and continue to showcase why I am the best of the best, and why this title reign will continue! Bring it on ladies and I will continue showing why I am the most annoying woman in all of this company! B Brat signing out!

[::With that Brittany pie faces the camera as we go elsewhere. We cut to a video at what looks like an outdoor mall, with Mayumi Tanahashi running and then suddenly stopping and waving for the cameraman and Katrina Showtime to hurry up. She runs a little farther ahead and then stops and points straight ahead. Katrina and the camera catch up and the camera pans up to reveal a Baskin Robbins.::]

Katrina Showtime: Why did you drag me to a Baskin Robbins?

[::Mayumi looks at Katrina with a puzzled look, then to the camera, then the sign, and finally nods.::]

Mayumi Tanahashi: Back home we call it thirty-one. I was wondering why everyone kept giving me weird looks when I asked where the closest thirty one was.

Katrina Showtime: Yea, I can see that, but you didn’t answer the question. Why did you drag me to a Bask, a thirty-one?

Mayumi Tanahashi: Oh, well I wanted to get some ice cream and I thought since we had to do an interview anyway, why not do it with ice cream?

[::Mayumi smiled and pointed towards the shop.::]

Mayumi Tanahashi: My treat. Doug’s too.

[::The camera nods a bit as we learn the man behind it is apparently named Doug. Katrina shrugs and they had inside the shop, making sure to pull their mask on. Mayumi turns back for a second and then looks around.::]

Mayumi Tanahashi: It’s a little different than the one back home, but it still reminds me of there. These last few months and especially the last one have been really weird. I’ve never lost a title because, well I had never won a title before. I won a tournament, but there wasn’t a belt and you didn’t defend it. My mom and I talk a bit, but it’s not the same. This triple threat match I have, it might mean more than the first title match. I didn’t have one truly successful defense of the title the first time, and even though they say we are co champions, I do not feel like I will truly deserve that title until I can beat Brittany. I also have to deal with Daria Dorsey and probably The Court. She’s way bigger and stronger than me and probably thinks I’m ignoring her. So… sorry Katrina. I just it’s been hard and I wanted a reminder of home.

Katrina Showtime: It’s okay Mayumi. I will say that I think you were on your way to becoming a great Battleground Champion. You won it once, you can definitely do so again.

Mayumi Tanahashi: Thank you.

[::Mayumi smiles, then walks up to the counter and is ready to order.::]

BR Worker: Hi there, welcome to Baskin Robbins, do you know your favorite flavor?

Mayumi Tanahashi: Yes, I would like a small double scoop popping shower in a waffle cone.

BR Worker: Uh what?

[::The worker looks around then up at the menu and to the specials signs and then just shrugs.::]

Katrina Showtime: Uh, I think that might be a thing over in Japan Mayumi.

[::She looks over at Katrina with wide eyes, then her shoulders slump and she is visibility pouting.::]

Mayumi Tanahashi: But it’s so good. It’s white chocolate and mint and has these little candies that pop in your mouth.

BR Worker: Oh uhm the cotton candy crackle has the little popping candies. You wanna try that?

[::Mayumi shakes her head and sighs slightly.::]

Mayumi Tanahashi: What’s the flavor of the month here?

BR Worker: Pumpkin Cheesecake, it’s good.

Mayumi Tanahashi: Okay, that good with you guys?

[::The camera moves up and down and Katrina nods.::]

Mayumi Tanahashi: Three pumpkin cheesecake waffle cones, double scoop.

[::The worker nods, makes them their cones, Mayumi pays and they head back outside where they can eat and sit down on a nearby bench.::]

Katrina Showtime: Well I guess we can officially begin the interview, but I do want to go back to this sort of homesickness. Do you think that weighing on you a bit could put you at a disadvantage?

[::Mayumi furrows her brow, puts tongue firmly in cheek, then shakes her head and licks at her ice cream.::]

Mayumi Tanahashi: It is true I do miss home, but in every match, I strive to make my family, my friends, my peers, my senpai and of course my fans, proud. Even though I do not get to see them or talk to them like I used to, they are with me in spirit every time I step in the ring. When I signed with WWR, I wasn’t thinking about winning a title in less than five matches. I wasn’t thinking about becoming a two time Battleground Champion. I simply wanted to show more people what I can do in this ring. I wanted to bring this crazy Japanese Lucha hybrid style to more people, and I wanted to find out exactly who Mayumi Tanahashi is. It turns out, she is someone who takes great pride in earning, defending, and retaining a title, but because of a time limit and a cheating brat, I was unable to do so. I will fix that though.

Katrina Showtime: Well you did technically win the title back at Rising II.

Mayumi Tanahashi: No, being a co champion is not the same thing. I have to win this triple threat match to truly have won this title back. I would like to do so by pinning the woman who stole the title and is proudly walking around with a belt she does not deserve to wear, but if the opportunity to pin or possibly submit Daria Dorsey arises, I will take it and proudly hold the title high. It’s no secret that I am not the biggest fan of these multi person matches, but I am getting used to them and I know that you have to take the opportunity when it comes your way and have eyes in the back of your head.

Katrina Showtime: You mentioned earlier that Daria Dorsey might be upset at your ignoring her and I have to agree. Both you and Brittany seem to be focused on each other and are ignoring a very talented, very athletic, and dangerous competitor.

Mayumi Tanahashi: I know how good Daria Dorsey is, and I know she has the backing of the Queen’s Court. I said what was needed to her. Brittany has gotten a bit more of my verbal focus, but I promise I have studied them both and I am prepared for both. I have to win this match, Katrina. Neither Brittany nor Daria will be good champions. They may have long reigns, but they are not honorable wrestlers. I want to continue the respectable tradition and lineage of the Battleground title, and if I do lose it, I want it to be in a proper contest of skill where I am beaten cleanly.

[::Mayumi nods and takes a few more licks of her ice cream.::]

Mayumi Tanahashi: I am most likely the underdog once again in this match, but that is okay. People love a good underdog.

[::Mayumi smiles and tilts her head slightly before taking a few more licks from her ice cream cone.::]

Mayumi Tanahashi: I will go out there, fly like only I can and do everything a Sky child can do to become the first true two time Battleground Champion. I hope everyone will come and fly with me.

[::Mayumi puts two fingers to her chest then raises them high and smiles as we go back to ringside for the next match.::]

Arianna Grey: The following contest is a six triple threat match scheduled for one fall with no time limit, and it is to determine who the Undisputed WWR Battleground Champion is...introducing first...

[::The Iconic hook of "Still by Geto Boys" would play, as Daria has a slow strut toward the ring, her stable mate and bestie Jessica Jackson at her side as Daria is looking to put the hurt on the co-Battleground Champions tonight and take the title for herself.::]

Arianna Grey: Representing the Queen's Court, from Rochester, New York...accompanied to the ring by Jessica Jackson. She is...Daria Dorsey!

Alexis Rose: Daria not coming to the ring alone tonight, at her side...Jessica Jackson of the Queen's Court!

Monica Powers: The numbers game Alexis, you know how the Court operates...

[::Daria and Jessica enter through the middle rope and pose for the crowd to a not so great reaction, Daria bows to the crowd before looking up with a confident smirk.::]

Arianna Grey: And her opponent...

[::Pink and green lights begin to rapidly flash along to the sounds of "Megitsune by Babymetal". As the first lyrics begin, Mayumi Tanahashi bursts through the curtain with the WWR Battleground Championship and spins around, showing off her ring jacket with the large wings. As the music kicks up, Mayumi runs forward, her arms outstretched to high five anyone who can reach her.::]

Arianna Grey: From Tokyo, Japan, she is the co-holder of the WWR Battleground Championship! The Sky Child...Mayumi Tanahashi!

Monica Powers: Two time Battleground Champion right here! I love Mayumi!

Alexis Rose: And tonight she will try to become the undisputed Battleground Champion! Please do it! Rid of all of Brittany Williams...PLEASE!

[::Mayumi runs and slides into the ring, going almost all the way across. She looks at the camera with a wide smile and blows a kiss before she hops to her feet, goes to the corner and gives a wave to the crowd. She leaps off the second rope with a moonsault and lands back in the middle of the ring, stretching her arms out as the lights dim and her wings light up bright white. Mayumi hands the title off to the referee as she immediately looks to the stage with a look of anger on her face, waiting for the arrival of Brittany Williams, completely ignoring Daria and Jessica standing nearby::]

Arianna Grey: And their 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 showing off her Battleground title 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: From Los Angeles, California. Being accompanied by Halo. She is the other co-holder of the WWR Battleground Championship...Brittany Williams!

Monica Powers: UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Alexis Rose: I couldn't have said it better myself Monica...ugh indeed!

[::Brittany slides into the ring moving her hands through her curly hair. She takes off her tiara, and her cape. As she hands the championship off to the referee who now holds up both Battleground Championship titles to the crowd before handing them off to the ring announcer and calling for the bell to get this important triple threat title match underway.::]

DING! DING! DING!

Our match immediately kicked off with Mayumi tackling Brittany to the mat, and slamming her head down into the canvas while she shrieked with the repeated blows to her. Daria would join in with some Garvin stomps, aiming for the back of Mayumi, and sneaking a blow onto Brittany as well, taking advantage of their feud with each other. Daria would pick Mayumi up, mocking her briefly, before she was tripped up onto her back. Mayumi would then hop on the middle of her stomach to weaken her, before comboing with a springboard moonsault off the second rope, as she collides with Daria's abdomen.

Brittany would grab Mayumi by her hair, looking to try and toss her, but, Mayumi elbowed her in the midsection causing her to stagger. She runs her face first into the turnbuckle, as Mayumi begins to go to the outer apron. Daria rushed in for an elbow smash, but, Mayumi ducked and hits her in the midsection, backing her up. Tanahashi would springboard up, as she does a double springboard arm drag to them both.

Daria would exit the ring to discuss tactics with Jessica, whilst Brittany would be left in the ring with Mayumi. Mayumi taunted at the Court members, before turning her attention back to Brittany who catches her with a hasty, but effective roundhouse kick to the head. She hooked the leg, but, Mayumi kicked out at 2 and a half. Brittany gets confident, as she Irish whipped Mayumi to the corner, and shouts out "360 No Scope!" She rushes to the turnbuckle, looking for a roaring elbow, but, Daria blindsided her with a bicycle knee lift, and then propelled the groggy Brittany back with a bridging back suplex pin. 1.. 2.. no! Mayumi breaks up the pin.

Brittany rolled out of the ring, as Daria gets to one knee, only to be greeted by a chop from Tanahashi. Daria fired one back, but, is met with an enzugiri in retaliation. Mayumi would quickly ascend the turnbuckle, leaping off for a cross body, but is caught in midair by Daria. Daria would then connect with a backbreaker onto Mayumi, before moving to the apron as Brittany was getting back up, and hitting her with a cannonball while she celebrated briefly and is applauded on by Jessica.

Seeing Mayumi starting to get to her feet, Daria gets in the ring and sets up a chop block to weaken her leg. Daria would taunt her, as the crowd booed her. She grabbed Mayumi's legs, as she turned her enough to set up Daria's Inferno, locking in her signature submission maneuver. Mayumi would cry out in pain, squalling from the move, as she digs in deep. She started crawling to the ropes, but, it was in tight. However, Brittany climbs the turnbuckle on the outside, before hitting Daria with a missile dropkick! The hold is broken, and Brittany would stand over Daria, before flossing to annoy her, and get a mixed reaction from the crowd.

Brittany would go back to targeting Mayumi, picking up where Daria left off, as she held her ankle, and lifted Mayumi up, before slamming her knee against the canvas. Brittany would then run to the ropes and springboards with a lionsault, hitting Mayumi and pinning her, but, she kicked out at two and a half. This caused Brittany to throw a tantrum, as the stomped at the mat, before getting up. Brittany gets up, looking for her frog splash, but, Mayumi gets up and catches her with a headscissor. She takes her down, and readied herself for Final Flight. Jessica Jackson goes from the outside to catch Mayumi's ankle, as Daria gets to her feet. Tanahashi is distracted, as Daria runs to the turnbuckle and hits Mayumi with an uppercut. She then shoved her to the outside, while the crowd booed her and Jessica loudly. With Brittany dazed, Daria gets her in a reverse headlock, before lifting her up and planting her with the Caliburn Driver! The Iron Dame holds the leg for a pin, as the ref counted it. 1.. 2.. 3!

Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and the UNDISPUTED WWR Battleground Champion... Daria Dorsey!

[::Jessica rushes over to the time keepers and rips both Battleground titles away from them before rushing into the ring and giving them to Daria. They try to celebrate but before they can Mayumi charges for them and it sends both members of the Queen's Court out of the ring and up the ramp.::]

Alexis Rose: By hook or by crook, Daria Dorsey brings the Battleground Championship to the Court!

Monica Powers: Well...at least Brittany isn't champion anymore...

Alexis Rose: ...Fair point that!

Monica Powers: But still, I feel bad for Mayumi...poor girl...

Alexis Rose: She's a proven champion. Her career has just begun here in WWR. I wouldn't worry about her. Speaking of proven champions...lets head backstage for comments from Envy Ellis!

[::WWR Battleground returns backstage as we see the former Goddess of the Cage Champion, Envy Ellis.::]

Envy Ellis: Well isn’t this different?

[::The scene rises up to show Envy Ellis inside the WWR Gym. She is alone at the current time, the dead of night… an hour in which most other competitors would either be asleep or out. Envy Ellis, however, is not most other competitors. As we focus on her, she sits on a bench alone.::]

Envy Ellis: For the first time since February, I sit before you NOT the WWR Goddess of the Cage Champion. And yeah, it stings a bit. For ten months, I reigned as Champion. For ten months, that was my identity. That was who you saw me as.

[::A smirk emanates from her face as she shakes her head.::]

Envy Ellis: Then Rising 2 came along, and it caught up to me. I was defeated in that cage. I could rattle off any number of excuses, but that’s not what this is about. I know that Diamond Caldwell is going to defend the cage and continue building onto what I established. And me?

[::She laughs.::]

Envy Ellis: I guess I’m let out of the cage now, aren’t I? And you know… when you have an animal that you lock in a cage for ten months, when you open the cage, the animal isn’t going to be confused. No… it’s going to embrace its freedom. I am going to embrace my freedom. And really, what better way to get started than in a Chaos contenders match?

[::Envy sits back, clenching her hands together.::]

Envy Ellis: And I know what I said in my social media post after Rising 2… where my aspirations lie. And I’m not going to stop on that road no matter WHAT obstacles are put in front of me… but in the meantime, what’s a little ultraviolence between friends, right? Because this is the first time I’ll be on WWR television empty-handed. It’s a different feeling, that’s for sure. But one that I look forward to remedying. So at Battleground, a four-way Chaos contender match. I’m going to remind the world just how dangerous Envy Ellis is!

[::The scene cuts away to black as we hear a voice over on the show...::]

“WWR Frost Kingdom. Four women walk in, one walks out the #1 Contender to the CHAOS Title.”

[::The camera turns on now, showing Super Tiger standing in an empty room, save for a combat training dummy, and a long, rectangular box standing upright next to it. She reaches into said box, and withdraws an industrial light tube, giving it a couple of swings before spinning it in her hands.::]

Super Tiger: Most people see me, and wonder “Why on Earth would they book HER in a Hardcore match? She doesn’t look like a hardcore wrestler.”

[::The little luchadora turns around, swinging the light tube hard and fast, smashing it against the face of the dummy. The camera catches glinting spikes of glass as the dust settles, leaving the Asian holding the broken end of the tube.::]

Super Tiger: In NFW I fought Mai Blackman in a Light Tube Cabin Deathmatch, per my request. I won that match. Gave myself a minor concussion to do it, but I walked away with the win. Tonight, I do not face Mai. I face two very dangerous champions, and a woman looking to prove herself. Charlotte Haliday and Envy Ellis? You want to talk about dangerous women, they’re names are right at the top of the list. Charlotte is the former CHAOS Champion. Envy was WWR’s original Goddess of the Cage. I’m not taking either of them lightly. I’ve seen what they’re capable of. As far as Jonna Austin is concerned, she’s good. I’ve watched her matches. But she’s still trying to find her footing here in WWR. Footing that, unfortunately for her, I can’t allow her to get.

[::The Diminutive Dynamo tosses the broken light tube aside, reaching into the box to withdraw another one.::]

Super Tiger: I’m ready for this. I’ve fought alongside and against the best this company has to offer. Bobbi Jackson. Susan Rigger.

[::Tiger hesitates.::]

Super Tiger: ...Zoe Jane. Now, tonight, I step into the ring with a Goddess and what many see as CHAOS incarnate. Blood will be spilled. Tears will be shed. But at the end of the night tonight?

[::The masked superstar grins before turning and slamming the light tube down over the top of the head of the dummy before stepping back to superkick it over onto the floor.::]

Super Tiger: It will be my hand raised at the end of this match, and I’m gonna go on to win the WWR CHAOS Title. I hope you’re ready champ, because I’m the challenger you weren’t expecting. And that makes me the most dangerous woman on this roster for you.

[::The camera fades to black as Super Tiger walks out of frame as Battleground heads back to ringside for the next match.::]

Arianna Grey: The following contest is a fatal four way hardcore match scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit, and it is for the number one contendership of the WWR Chaos Championship! Introducing first...

[::"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: Big opportunity for Jonna here tonight!

Alexis Rose: And she knows it, a win here will give her a Chaos title shot against Salinas...lets see how she does!

[::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, awaiting on the arrival of her opponents.::]

Arianna Grey: And her opponent...

[::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 slung over her shoulder. She doesn’t pose or play to the crowd, choosing instead to walk directly towards the cage.::]

Arianna Grey: From Washington, DC, she is...Envy Ellis!

Monica Powers: The former multiple time champion is no stranger to gold here in WWR!

Alexis Rose: She's my favorite to win this match Monica, she just looks weird when gold isn't around her waist!

[::As Envy reaches the bottom of the ramp, she throws the towel off her neck to the floor and enters into the ring. Moving to the opposite side, she climbs onto the corner turnbuckle and throws her arms out. After repeating this process with the other three sides of the ring, she moves to her corner of the ring to await the start of the match.::]

Arianna Grey: And their opponent...

[::"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 as the makes her way to the ring...::]

Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. She is...Charlotte Haliday!

Alexis Rose: The former Chaos Champion, she's been here before...will she reclaim her title soon?

Monica Powers: She didn't seem overly thrilled about being in this match, maybe she's not a fan of the Chaos division any longer...?

[::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 their opponent...

[::The lights in the arena dim to near darkness as "Legends Never Die by Against the Current" begins to play through the speakers. The Tron shows Risa Saito Jackson from behind, stepping into a vault, looking around before focusing on a glass case on it's own stand in the center under a harsh light. She steps toward it, and the camera focuses to reveal the mask of Super Tiger. She opens the case, slowly, taking out the mask and pulling it onto her face, and reaching behind her head. As the camera slowly spins, the music hits the 1:04 mark, briefly showing a smiling SUPER TIGER before pyro explodes across the stage in a rainbow colored shower of sparks as Super Tiger raised on a platform from below the stage, wearing a large, billowing kimono, her arms spread wide.::]

Legends never die when the world is calling you
Can you hear them screamin' out your name?
Legends never die, they become a part of you
Every time you bleed for reaching greatness
Legends never die

[::Risa Saito Jackson turns slowly, facing the ring. She makes her way down the ramp, slowly swaying with the music, her arms going out in beautifully choreographed motions with the music. Her head sways with the tune, eyes closed as she makes her way to the ring.::]

Arianna Grey: From Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. Representing the Phoenix Coalition, she is Risa Saito Jackson...The Super Tiger!

Monica Powers: Wow! That's quite the entrance!

Alexis Rose: Super Tiger is taking tonight's match extremely serious, it feels like she has something to prove. Not only to the fans, but to herself as well!

[::Having reached ringside, Super Tiger leaps up onto the apron, turning to face the crowd with a wink and a peace sign before skinning the cat and standing in the center of the ring, throwing a hand into the air and pointing at the ceiling while looking straight up into the sky.::]

Legends never die when the world is calling you
Can you hear them screamin' out your name?
Legends never die, they become a part of you
Every time you bleed for reaching greatness
Legends never die

[::Super Tiger lowers her head, looking directly into the hardcam with a determined smile before she puts up the peace sign again and winks to the crowd before backing into her corner to await the start of the match. Everyone looks a bit shocked by Super Tiger's elaborate entrance but finally the referee comes to their senses and rings the bell to start the match.::]

DING! DING! DING!

The bell rings, and all four women immediately slide out of the ring and reach under the ring apron. Super Tiger is the first back in the ring, and, much like her more recent activity has suggested, she is brandishing an industrial light tube. Jonna Austin is the next woman back into the ring, steel chair in hand, followed by Envy Ellis, who’s grabbed a kendo stick. Last in the ring is the former CHAOS Champion, and Charlotte Haliday is brandishing a barbed wire wrapped baseball bat. The Mexican standoff lasts for a few moments before Jonna suddenly swings at Envy, the former Goddess of the Cage ducking the swing and returning fire, the kendo stick snapping against Austin’s thigh. Jonna yelps, hopping on one leg as Envy continues her attack, hitting twice more before the kendo stick splinters. Austin is already limping, but she turns and swings wildly with the chair. Envy has just enough time to turn away from the weapon, but takes a glancing blow over the shoulders, dropping to a knee.

Charlotte and Tiger stare each other down before both women surprisingly enough drop their weapons and immediately begin throwing strikes at one other. Charlotte’s punches are answered by vicious open palm strikes from Super Tiger before Haliday finally gets the upper hand, circling around the luchadora and dropping her hard with a German Suplex. Charlotte releases the luchadora, rising to her feet only to turn into a chair shot from Jonna. Haliday hits the mat, but Envy is on Jonna immediately, hitting a clothesline with enough force to level the blonde and force her to drop the chair. Envy gets to her feet, and Tiger flies in off of a springboard, catching Envy with a tornado DDT! The Diminutive Dynamo rolls away, grabbing her light tube off the apron. She turns just in time, swinging the light tube like a bat at a charging Charlotte Haliday, who throws up her arm to block it. The light tube explodes, sending a cloud of glass fragments into the air.

Haliday immediately clutches her face and screams, dropping to the mat and rolling out to the floor. The referee looks down at her, and calls for the medical staff. Super Tiger doesn’t have long to look out at the former champion as Envy comes in and rolls her over before locking in an armbar! The Japanese superstar cries out, thrashing about. Her leg finds the bottom rope, but the referee shakes her head. No rope breaks in a hardcore match! Tiger screams out again, but the hold is broken up when Jonna dives in, crashing into Envy and forcing her to break the submission. Risa rolls onto the apron, clutching her arm, as Jonna drags Envy to her feet. Ellis strikes out, looking for a spinning backfist, but Austin ducks the strike, wrapping her arms around Envy’s waist to lift her and deliver a reverse atomic drop! Envy grunts, dropping to a knee as Jonna hits the ropes and comes back with a big running knee strike. Ellis hits the mat, and Jonna dives in for the first cover of the match, but Envy kicks out after just one.

Jonna gets to her feet, only to eat a superkick from Super Tiger, which causes her to stumble, dropping to her knees draped over the middle rope. Tiger looks at Jonna, then out to the crowd, before running to rebound off the ropes. She isn’t able to connect with “There and Back Again” however, because she’s intercepted by a brutal spear from Envy! Ellis covers Super Tiger, but Jonna breaks the pin up again, dragging Envy to her feet and throwing her into the corner. She immediately gives chase, but Ellis baseball slides out under the bottom rope, causing Austin to run, chest first, into the turnbuckle. Envy is on her immediately, catching her feet and yanking her down, one foot on either side of the ring post. She grins, wickedly, before folding Austin’s legs into position to deliver a ringpost assisted figure four leglock! Jonna screams out in agonizing pain as Envy maintains the hold. The grin slips from her face, however, as Super Tiger comes running to deliver a delayed shotgun dropkick to Envy, blasting her backwards off of Jonna and into the barricade. Tiggy is back on her feet, turning to get a running start before leaping, knee first, into Envy, connecting with the side of her head and bouncing her off the barricade again before Ellis crumples to the floor.

Super Tiger rolls back into the ring, taking off at a run. She ducks a lariat attempt from Jonna before springboarding off the ropes to connect with the “Tiger Snare”, dropkicking Austin’s legs out from under her. She goes for a pin, but Austin reverses the attempt, pinning Tiger’s shoulders to the mat. The luchadora kicks out at a late two, and now Envy is stirring on the outside of the ring. The medical staff is still working with Charlotte as the former Goddess of the Cage climbs into the ring, grabbing Jonna’s chair and blasting Super Tiger across the back with it before bringing it down hard across Austin’s back as well. Ellis pulls Risa to her feet, lifting her into powerbomb position. She runs across the ring, looking for Dangerous Collision, but Tiger escapes at the last moment. Envy manages to stop before running into the corner, but as she turns around, Super Tiger blasts her with a stiff forearm strike, causing her to stumble back into the corner. Tiger runs the opposite direction, bouncing off the turnbuckle on the opposite side before springboarding into the corner to hit a triangle dropkick that sends Envy out and to the floor. Jonna immediately grabs Tiger, kicking her in the stomach to set up for “G2”, but Tiger reaches up and grabs Jonna’s head before dropping to her knees to hit a jawbreaker. Jonna stumbles backward, and Super Tiger darts forward, spinning around Austin to grab her in position and delivers “Starlight Express”, dropping Jonna head first onto the discarded steel chair! Tiger bridges the pin. Envy dives in to break it up, but she’s a fraction of a second to late!

Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, ...Super Tiger!

[::Super Tiger gets her hand raised in victory as the crowd cheers on in approval seeing her pick up the win. Although a lot of eyes are on the ringside area where Charlotte Haliday is still receiving medical attention.::]

Monica Powers: While I'm very happy for Super Tiger, I can't help but worry about Charlotte...

Alexis Rose: She really hasn't moved since the training staff got her down here at ringside, they are still checking her out...

Monica Powers: I hope she's okay...

Alexis Rose: When we have a medical update on Charlotte we will be sure to pass it along, but we gotta head backstage to hear from the challenger and the champion as the Revolutionary title match...is NEXT!

[::WWE Battleground goes backstage where we see Keira Johnson in her locker room as she looks at the floor for a moment. She lifts her head up a little and turns to see the tablet. She sees a picture of herself, with red dots for eyes as she touches the screen a few times. She deletes the photo, saying

Keira Johnson: Goodbye, Sin....

[::Keira lowers the tablet down and sits it back on the table. She then says.::]

Keira Johnson: So much time has passed. But some things stay the same, don't they?

[::Keira slowly looks up at the camera.::]

Keira Johnson: You and I are the same in a way, Eliza. Both of us have sins we have tried hard to remove. But even when we remove them, they continue to haunt us. Yours is the one that is still tied to the Queen's Court. Mine is sadly being in Roxi's shadow as people would say.

[::Keira sighs a bit.::]

Keira Johnson: But even then, they can still be tethered. But you know what happened at Rising II, don't we?

[::Keira smirks a little bit over it.::]

Keira Johnson: During the match, in that one moment, you blinked. I blinked and took advantage, Eliza. In the same position, you would have done the same. That's the perks of being a fighter, even you know that.

[::Keira then slowly sits up.::]

Keira Johnson: Thing is, I still have to teach the Queen's Court a lesson. As much as I like you, Eliza. You still have a shadow tether, clinging onto The Queen's Court that needs to be broken. That is the Revolutionary Championship you have around your waist.

[::Keira then turns as she gets the last of her gear. She then says.::]

Keira Johnson: Once you and I fight, I will beat you for the title. Once I take the title from you, the healing will finally begin and Eliza, as much as I like you. You need this to begin the road to recovery.

[::Keira smirks.::]

Keira Johnson: Get ready, Eliza. Time for your last moments as Revolutionary Champion!

[::The scene fades to Eliza Frost-Showtime as she peers into a mirror, leaning over the make-up desk and getting on the tips of her toes to inspect herself as the camera, filming her from behind, gets a good look at her most plentiful and round behind. She nods to herself in approval as she straightens her back, the camera hurrying to pan up with her movement as she turns around to face it.::]

Eliza Frost: Keira, Keira, Keira. I SAW the hunger in your eyes inside the Elimination Chamber. You were hungry, no, practically starving for championship gold. And so you came after me along with the others, scrambling to be the one to claim this opportunity. Well...

[::She reaches behind her to grab the WWR Revolutionary Championship title belt from the desk behind her and lifts it up next to her face.::]

Eliza Frost: You'd better make the most of this chance you were so determined to get your hands on. I promise you this much, getting your hands on the Revolutionary title is going to be a whole different ball-game. You'll actually have to get the whole way there on your own instead of coming in after I've been fighting off two other gold-hungering beasts.

[::The youngest Frost chuckles a bit as she places the championship belt over her shoulder.::]

Eliza Frost: If you want this, you are going to have to pry it from my cold, Frosty hands and let me tell you, that is a tall order. Will you be up to the task? Do you have the drive, the determination to go the distance and reach desperately enough to get on my level? You wouldn't be the first to fall short and I have a feeling you are far from the last. I may not agree with my sister on a lot of things, but if there's one thing that right now is pretty much impossible to deny, especially tonight of all nights, it's this...

[::She leans in toward the camera, her ruby red lips curved into a slightly lopsided smirk.::]

Eliza Frost: FROSTS.... RULE.

[::The Revolutionary Champion plants a kiss on the camera's lens, leaving a lipstick stain that partially covers the view as she heads on toward the ring and the camera lingers on her hip-swaying motions before the view fades back to ringside for the next match.::]

Arianna Grey: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit, and it is for the WWR Revolutionary Championship! Introducing first...

[::"Sinner by Drowning Pool" begins to slowly play as the lights go out. Two lights from the stage is seen showing Keira's shadow, raising her arms. The lights come back on as Keira turns and walks down the aisle toward the ring...::]

Arianna Grey: From Tampa, Florida. She is...Keira Johnson!

Alexis Rose: Joining us tonight for our big double main event is our new General Manager, Leonie Frost. A big match for Keira here tonight in WWR!

Leonie Frost: Certainly a big match anytime ANYONE steps into the ring with a Frost. This IS Frost Kingdom after all.

Monica Powers: Keira has had a good run so far in the short time that she's been here, but tonight is the ultimate test.

[::Keira slaps a few fans hands before she gets into the ring, completely ignoring the injured Charlotte Haliday at ringside is still being looked over by the training staff. She raises her hand and shouts out, "Like a HERO, BABY!" before she turns to toward the stage awaiting the arrival of her opponent.::]

Arianna Grey: And her opponent...

[::"Bootylicious by Destiny's Child" plays over the PA Speakers as the spotlights are aimed at the top of the ramp as Eliza comes sashaying through the curtains, her curvy hips swaying with each step as she makes her way to the ring, the WWR Revolutionary Championship slung proudly over the brunette's shoulder...::]

Arianna Grey: From Montreal, Canada. She is the WWR Revolutionary Champion...Eliza Frost-Showtime!

Monica Powers: Eliza looks to be full of confidence as she makes her way to the ring tonight.

Leonie Frost: And why shouldn't she be? She is a champion...she is a Frost. That's all you need to know!

Alexis Rose: What I would like to know honestly is the condition of poor Charlotte who is still at ringside being checked out by our medical staff...

[::Eliza meanwhile is seen shaking a finger of denial at fans reaching out to her. She walks up the steel steps onto the apron, then steps over the second rope, taking her time slipping through the ropes as she gives her hips a little wiggle, then finally steps the rest of the way into the ring. Her hands glide along her shapely body and she turns to the camera, winking while sliding her fingers through her hair and letting it cascade back down before glancing outside the ring at Charlotte and shouts a few words of encouragement her way, despite their history over the last month or so Eliza doesn't want to see anyone injured. After that she looks across the ring at Keira Johnson while holding her championship high in the air with her right hand before handing it off to the referee who shows it to Keira before showing it to the crowd and rings the bell to get this title match underway.::]

DING! DING! DING!

As the bell rings Eliza and Keira come together in the center of the ring, locking up as they push at one another. Eliza's slight height advantage lets her lean into it, but Keira gutsily holds her at bay, then suddenly she ducks her head and grabs Eliza's legs, tossing her over a shoulder with a Back Body Drop. Eliza lands flat on her back with a thud and hops back up, only to run right into Keira's grasp as she turns around, the blonde twisting around to slam Eliza right back down with a Power Slam, hooking a leg for a quick early pin attempt that only gets a one, but she smirks as she gets up, Eliza staring at her with narrowed eyes as she stands as well. Outside the ring WWR medical staff is still attending to Charlotte Haliday, handling her very carefully.

The two women circle a bit before they go to lock up again, but this time Eliza pushes Keira's left arm up and slips under it and behind her, grabbing her from behind and lifting her off her feet to slam her ass-first onto a knee in an Atomic Drop. Keira's eyes widen and she shrieks, just bouncing off the knee and pivoting around to face Eliza, only for the youngest Frost sister to grab the blond beauty's legs, hoist her up and slam her crotch down on her knee with an Inverted Atomic Drop. Keira grabs at her crotch as she cries out in pain, Eliza stepping back to let her fall to her knees, but as she goes to stuff Keira's head under her arm for a DDT the challenger rallies herself, grabbing Eliza's legs and just powering her off her feet as she bullrushes her back first into the turnbuckles, driving her against them.

Keira whips her arm back, then smashes it across Eliza's throat, Clotheslining the cornered champion before she steps back and yanks on Eliza's wrist to pull her in and smash her off her feet with another Clothesline. Keira climbs up onto the second rope and gestures for Eliza to rise, waiting for her to get to her feet and turn before she jumps off the ropes at her with a Lou Thesz Press, only for Eliza to catch her from the air and yank her down, again driving the blonde's crotch down against her knee. Keira lets out a shrill cry of pain while Eliza grabs her head, twisting her around so they're back to back before she drops down to a knee and jams Keira's neck over her shoulder in a Kneeling Hangman's Neckbreaker. A pained look on her face, Keira stumbles forward a bit, then grabs at the ropes to steady herself.

Eliza isn't done with her though, reaching her right arm around Keira's neck before dropping backward to drive her head into the second turnbuckle with a Reverse STO, knocking the blond beauty loopy. Eliza drags Keira up and bends over to slip her head between her legs and lift her onto her back, but Keira wildly kicks her feet about, forcing Eliza to let her back down. She grabs hold around the shapely brunette's waist and with a mighty yank flips her up into position for a Powerbomb. Eliza hurriedly reaches out to grab the top rope, dragging herself out of Keira's grasp, but as she turns around on the second rope Keira swings her arm, smashing her forearm across Eliza's jaw in a stunning European Uppercut. As Eliza slumps into a seated position on the top turnbuckle Keira climbs up after her, balancing on the top rope as she pulls Eliza up, tosses the Revolutionary champion's arm over her neck and lifts her upside down vertically before she falls backward in a Superplex, smashing Eliza into the canvas with a mighty thud.

Keira gets up and measures up the defending champion, gesturing for her to get up while she taps her heel against the canvas, then as Eliza rises Keira twists at the hip, her leg coming around in a sharp arc aimed right at the brunette's skull, but at the last moment Eliza ducks her head, just barely evading the Seven Sins kick. Off balance, Keira stumbles and leaves herself open for Eliza to surge in, slipping her arms under Keira's and clasping her hands before she hoists her off her feet in the Full Nelson, then kicks her legs up to drop down and slam Keira down between her legs, smashing her ass and tail bone against the canvas with the Full Nelson Bomb. Keira groaningly grabs at her ass as she rolls away, Eliza smirking as she gets up, looking a bit wobbly, and dusts herself off before going after the blonde to pull her up.

The moment she reaches down for Keira though the gutsy blonde lunges at her, just bowling her over and grabbing her legs as she steps one of hers through them and goes to cross them up over her thigh. Eliza knows the Sharpshooter quite well though and pulls her knees to her chest before kicking both legs straight to send Keira stumbling backward into the ropes. Eliza hurries up and rushes after her, jumping and twisting her body around in mid-air before thrusting her hips back to slam her great big butt into Keira's face, but the blond beauty regains her balance faster than Eliza anticipated and manages to swing her head just under where Eliza was aiming at while reaching up to grab the airborne beauty, catching her in midair to pull her down across her shoulders, gripping Eliza's chin and a shapely thigh. Eliza's eyes widen as she finds herself in a Torture Rack and desperately wriggles to try and slip free, but Keira catches her wrist and pulls the caught arm across Eliza's throat to cinch in her hold on her.

She goes to toss Eliza's legs over to drive her down on her head, but as she does she suddenly stumbles and falls to a knee, dropping Eliza over her head to just send her tumbling away, almost knocking the referee off their feet. Confused, Keira glances back and her eyes widen as she sees Charlotte Haliday release her grip on her Keira's ankle, a smirk on her lips. After a moment's hesitation she opens her mouth to accuse the apparently not injured after all Haliday of meddling in her match, but as she does she's suddenly yanked over as Eliza pulls her in, her arm wrapped across Keira's throat and around her neck, and drops backward to bash Keira's face against the canvas with a Reverse STO. From there Eliza swings her shapely legs up and over, wrapping them around Keira's neck and crossing her legs up to constrict them, squeezing around the blonde's neck with the Frosty Top Popper. Keira's eyes are wide and her arms flail about in a panic as she feels the squeeze tighten, the hold smooshing her face against Eliza's great big round booty to boot. She was yanked just out of reach of the ropes as well though she tries to reach for them with her leg and finally as her eyes start to glaze over she realizes she's not getting out and so taps on Eliza's thigh, who releases the hold as the referee calls for the bell.

Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and STLL WWR Revolutionary Champion... Eliza Frost-Showtime!

[::As Eliza receives her championship belt back and exits the ring, waving to the crowd while making her way up the ramp, Haliday glances after her, then slides into the ring. Keira is pushing herself up to her hands and knees as Charlotte stands over her and reaches down, hooking one arm around Keira's and the other across her face as she puts her into a Crossface Chickenwing, painfully wrenching her shoulder back and twisting her neck as she drags Keira to her knees, then wraps her legs around her and drops backward, denying her any chance to escape as Keira's legs kick about weakly. The referee finally notices and goes to try and pry Haliday off Keira, but he needs the help of the medical staff to manage to break the hold and pull Charlotte away.::]

Alexis Rose: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT!?!?!?

Monica Powers: Did Charlotte actually FAKE an injury just so she could get at Keira Johnson!?

Leonie Frost: Well Haliday certainly has my attention now...

Monica Powers: What are you going to do about this?

Leonie Frost: I haven't decided yet...I'll figure it out...

Alexis Rose: I don't like that grin on your face boss. But we gotta take a quick commercial break, we'll be right back with the other half of your double main event!

[::WWR Battleground returns from its final commercial break as the camera opens in a backstage room to find Crystal Zdunich, Diamond Caldwell, Seleana Zdunich, Zenna Zdunich, Jenni Taylor, Kelly Taylor, Maja Lindström and Halo all standing together.::]

Maja Lindström: En fantastisk samling talanger.

[::Kelly snickers.::]

Kelly Taylor: Is quite the collection, this lot, isn’t it?

[::Maja nods.::]

Maja Lindström: En våldsstam!

[::Kelly snickers again.::]

Kelly Taylor: And all of us from places that would called less than desirable, yeah?

[::Halo nods her agreement.::]

Halo: You look down this roe and you see people who have all come from some place considered low. Whether it was Detroit, Compton, Tullahoma, Hamstad, Chertsey, Christchurch, New York City, Tampa or Mexico, we’ve all been forged in things most of y’all would call hell and people like the Beautification Movement would call even worse than that for belching us forth into their supposedly perfect world!

[::Jenni scoffs.::]

Jenni Taylor: The Queen’s Court would say the same, yeah? Bunch of blighters!

Zenna Zdunich: Ja, detta är sanningen.

[::Seleana shrugs.::]

Seleana Zdunich: While that is likely the truth, it only serves to make me even more keen to step into that ring tonight and give them a proper thrashing!

Jenni Taylor: Knock the granny out of them then, is it?

[::Seleana nods.::]

Seleana Zdunich: You made a grave mistake when you assaulted Christina and I the way you did and when you did. You galvanized us as a family, brought us together as the strange mix of a tribe that we are! You offered Diamond things she already had and did not need you to get because…

[::She shrugs, smirking.::]

Seleana Zdunich: Who’s dat girl?

[::She nods, motioning at Diamond.::]

Seleana Zdunich: Diamond’s dat girl and we always believed in her! So now, all you did by attacking us was bring us closer together and give birth proper birth to the S.R.T., the Skid Row Tribe!

[::Diamond takes a moment to soak in the atmosphere. She removes the Goddess of the Cage Championship fastened around her waist, places it on her shoulders.::]

Diamond Caldwell: You damn right I am dat girl.. the girl who beat Envy Ellis inside her domain. She showed me nothing but respect. I would not dare to disrespect her in any way. However... I do want to show the haters the same disrespect they have shown me. Might be petty, I don’t give a crap. Walking into dat cage I carried a lot of weight with me for the longest time. Not just everything that has happened here in WWR so far. Haters disrespecting me cause of the way I talk. The way I present myself. The unshakable confidence that I have. I know, I know, I know, there will always be haters. Maybe I should be a little stronger than to use their words to fuel me. When the Goddess of the Cage Championship was handed to me, all I felt was vindication. All you trash people who had the nerve to not put respect on my name can officially... Kiss. My. Ass.

[::Diamond turns around to show her ass. She pats it three times.::]

Diamond Caldwell: I am where I want to be. The women standing by my side have shown me more love than I could ever imagine. Even if I didn’t become Goddess of the Cage I would have left Rising II with something a lot more important. Family. I have been welcomed with open arms. That means the world to me. Tonight I stand with Seleana and Crystal to butt heads with The Queens Court.

Jessica, I have one question for you girl... if all of this is being done just because I turned you and The Court down, what does that say about the girls you run with? I get it. You made it loud and clear you don’t like Crystal. You two were an item. She broke your heart. I am sorry things didn’t work out. Jess, if you were truly my friend you wouldn’t feel the need to round up your girls to try to beat some sense into me. You would tell them to stand down and respect my decision. Hey. If this is the route you want to take, fine, I won’t back down. Neither will Crystal. Neither will Seleana. Remember, when we win tonight, when we put SRT on the map, keep in mind all of this could have been avoided.

[::Crystal takes a long deep breath as she looks at everyone in the room. She is clad in a Brittany Williams is not annoying t-shirt. She flicks her hair as she looks deep into the camera.::]

Crystal Zdunich: Long behold it feels great to be hair tonight.

Halo: My wife does not have nappy hair!

Crystal Zdunich: I don’t think I made a pun…

[::Crystal chuckles as she continues to speak.::]

Crystal Zdunich: But on a serious note I have a great collection of women by my side. Some who are in laws, some who I am fucking, and some who are just damn right close to me. Every one has a different background but I feel the need that I have to actually say something and it’s mainly about Jessica Jackson.

[::Crystal takes takes a long deep breath as she speaks some more.::]

Crystal Zdunich: As far as Susan Rigger and Dominique are concerned they are tough as nails. I am not going to sit here and talk down two women who can’t hold their own in the ring. Susan and I go way back. We are actually cousins through our Aunt Rosa on the Mexican side. Susan is probably the best damn pure technical wrestler on the roster. No offense to Diamond or Envy. Susan knows how to wear people down with her suplexes and she is as sound as they come. Dominique is an absolute monster in the ring. She can destroy anybody who comes in her way and I can respect that. There are no qualms in either of their abilities. Now as far as Jessica is concerned…

[::Crystal just sighs as she looks at the camera.::]

Crystal Zdunich: I just want to formally apologize to you. As a former fiance and as a person in general. You didn’t deserve what I put you through and honestly I feel like I am a mix between Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers. Like Scott I am just an awful person. Awful to everyone I ever loved. It’s been a rocky road full of betrayals among other stuff. So it isn’t right and as Ramona I feel like I have been with way too much people to the point it feels like the league of Evil Exes wants to come and just slay me. If you are in that boat I feel you and we can settle our differences once and for all. I am laying it out there. One on One nobody from my group or your group, and we handle it in the ring. You can unleash everything right there and we can finally move on…

[::Crystal points at the ground.::]

Crystal Zdunich: But that’s something I need to hear your answer on… As far as tonight we aren’t going to lose. We are going to show we can gel on all cylinders and showcase that we are the premier group in all of this company!

[::As Crystal finishes her speech the camera shifts to the locker room of the Queen's Court as the WWR World Champion Dominique Frost and the Suplex Queen Susan Rigger finish their preparations for the main event, it's been silent for a bit before the tall blonde breaks said silence.::]

Dominique Frost: So, how's Jessica doing?

Susan Rigger: Hmmm?

[::Susan looks up from the task at hand as she was focused on finishing lacing her boots when Dominique addresses her. The tall blonde glances about the Queen's Court's locker room.::]

Dominique Frost: She's not here and there's only so much time until the match. I know she was very vested in the whole recruiting thing and, well...

Susan Rigger: She feels betrayed. And rightly so. She was led on, then shoved aside. It's unforgivable to treat a Court member like that.

[::Dominique nods in agreement, crossing her arms across her chest.::]

Dominique Frost: Indeed, we need to get payback for this.

Susan Rigger: NOBODY treats one of us like that. Nobody messes with our Jessica.

[::Susan yanks the knot good and tight, her teeth angrily grit, before tucking it into the boot so it doesn't come undone during the match.::]

Susan Rigger: As for how she's doing... she damn sure isn't happy, but if you mean is she ready for tonight, then the answer is yes, absolutely so. Just you wait and see, she is every bit as keen to deliver this well-earned punished as either of us. Maybe more so.

Dominique Frost: Eager doesn't necessarily mean the same as ready.

[::Susan scoffs a bit.::]

Susan Rigger: She's mentally tougher than you seem to think. Trust me, the last thing she would do tonight is let us down. You can count on her bringing it. And not just tonight, every night.

[::Dominique slowly nods her head, Susan's unwavering faith in their team mate clearly winning her over.::]

Dominique Frost: Good, then lets go find her and lets get this lesson in pain underway.

Susan Rigger: Gladly.

[::The two of them smirk as they head on out of the locker room to meet up with Jessica for the main event as Battleground heads back to ringside for the match.::]

Arianna Grey: The following contest is your main event of the evening and is a six woman tag team match with a sixty-minute time limit, introducing first...

[::"Bite the Dust by the Pussycat Dolls" hits the PA Speakers as Susan leads her fellow members of the Queen's Court to the stage, including Jessica Jackson and the WWR World Champion, Dominique Frost and the crowd boos their arrival. The three women laugh and strike cocky poses before making their way to the ring.::]

Arianna Grey: Representing the Queen's Court, the team of the team of the Suplex Queen Susan Rigger, Jessica Jackson, and the WWR World Champion...Dominique Frost!

Monica Powers: I gotta admit, it's weird not seeing that WWR World Championship on Susan Rigger's shoulder...

Leonie Frost: The Suplex Queen had a tremendous run, but her time came to an end...our new champion is very deserving!

Alexis Rose: Yea okay, if you say so....

[::Jessica and Susan get into the ring as Dominique Frost takes a victory lap around the ring with her championship, rubbing it in the fans face that she put their beloved Bobbi Jackson on the shelf. She eventually gets into the ring and the three women pose as the crowd gives them a very mixed reaction, leaning on anger as they turn to the stage and stare intently waiting on the arrival of their opponents, Jessica looks particularly anxious.::]

Arianna Grey: And their opponents...

[::“Thief’s Theme (Instrumental) by Nas" starts up and the members of SRT, the WWR Goddess of the Cage Champion Diamond Caldwell, Crystal and Seleana Zdunich...along with their managers, Maja Lindström and Kelly Taylor, make their way out of the entryway and down the aisle.::]

Arianna Grey: Representing S.R.T., the team of Crystal and Seleana Zdunich, and the WWR Goddess of the Cage Champion...Diamond Caldwell!

Monica Powers: S.R.T. huh? I thought they were Hollywood Perfection?

Leonie Frost: Well that's what their nameplate says because they certainly didn't let the office know in order to allow us to update our graphics in the truck.

Alexis Rose: Regardless of what they are called. They are a serious threat here in WWR. The other half of this team picked up a big win on Dark earlier on tonight and they are looking to pick up another one right now!

[::The three women enter the ring and raise their arms as the crowd cheers them on before the jaw jacking between the six women starts. The referee does their best to separate both teams and finally just rings the bell and gets out of the way so the main event can get started.::]

DING! DING! DING!

Jessica gestures across the ring challengingly and Diamond looks like she's going to accept it, but Crystal instead pushes her way past her and marches to the center of the ring to meet up with Jessica, who practically snarls as she walks right up to her and swipes at her face, Crystal jerking her head back to dodge the slap. The referee admonishes Jessica for jumping the gun before they call for the bell to start the match. Jessica lunges past the ref at Crystal, but the Blossoming Rose jumps high, leapfrogging over the angry blonde and landing on her feet behind her. Crystal jumps again and twists her body around, her leg slicing through the air as she goes for an Enzuigiri, but Jessica catches sight of her early enough to just jerk her head down under the kick, evading it by a hair's width. Crystal lands on one knee rather gracefully, but her eyes widen and she lets out a pained shriek as Jessica sinks her nails into her back and rakes them down viciously. Crystal hisses through grit teeth, her back arched from the burning pain, and Jessica doesn't waste time in grabbing her head and just slamming the back of it down against the canvas.

Jessica then grabs Crystal's hair to drag her back to her feet before flinging her toward the Court's corner. Crystal goes to get up, but her hair is grabbed again, this time by the long reach and steely grip of Dominique, who yanks her backward into the corner, allowing Jessica to rush on in and smash both knees into the Rose's gut. Crystal coughs as she slides down in the corner and Jessica smirks backing up, doing a chopping motion toward her crotch before rushing in... then skidding to a stop as with a look of disgust on her face she steps a foot on Crystal's face instead and rakes the bottom of her boot against it. The Court laugh as Jessica drags Crystal back up, but they're shut up as Crystal suddenly jumps, wrapping her legs around Jessica's head and jerking her body backward to fling her upside down into the turnbuckles with a Hurricanrana. This catches the whole Court by surprise and so they fail to stop Crystal from hurrying to her corner, arm reached out for a tag. Diamond slaps her hand and rushes into the ring, She dashes across the ring and steps off the back of the on all fours, still trying to figure out which way is up Jessica's back to throw herself at the other two Court members, dropkicking them off the apron.

Diamond nods approvingly at Susan and Dominique's tumble to the mats below before she turns to Jessica, only for the huffing blonde to rake her nails across Diamond's face, blinding her before she flings her over the ropes to join the recovering rest of the Court. Dominique grabs Crystal by the throat as she just lifts her off the mats, then flings her back first into the corner post, her body just bouncing off the steel post. Seleana looks to rush to her aid, running along the apron and flinging herself at Dominique, but Susan just snatches her from the air, wrapping her arms around her before she thrusts her hips under Seleana's and launches her overhead with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex that sends her crashing back first atop the guard rail before tumbling over it. As Jessica slides out of the ring Susan and Dominique drag Diamond to her feet and shove her back against the corner post, either grabbing a wrist and pulling back on it pin her in place while Jessica walks up to her, berating her and slapping her across the face, the blonde's eyes glistening a bit as she goes to backhand her too before she looks up and her eyes widen as soaring over the ropes and the post comes Crystal, crashing on top of the caught by surprise Court to knock the lot of them down.

Huffing angrily at them for abusing her team, Crystal fires off a snapping kick across the chest of each Court member as they're trying to get up, the one smacking across Susan's mighty melons particularly loud. She measures up the Queen and goes for a Flashing Lights kick, but Susan isn't stunned enough and she ducks under it, wrapping her arms around Crystal from behind as she slips behind her, then yanks her off her feet to slam her into the guard rail with a German Suplex. Dominique picks Crystal up, lifting her over her head and flinging her over the rail and into Seleana, knocking them both down in a tangle of limbs. Meanwhile Susan shoves Diamond into the ring and slides in after her, slapping Jessica's hand to tag herself in. The Suplex Queen wraps her arms around Diamond's waist, just lifting her right off the canvas as she goes to take her overhead, but the Californian suddenly grabs her wrists and pries her grip loose before slipping under the buxom Britt's arm and behind her. She reaches down to grab Susan's ankles and yanks her legs out from under her, sending Susan landing splat on her soft titties. Diamond wraps Susan's legs around her waist, then grabs a hold around Susan's, hoisting her up off the canvas as she swings the Suplex Queen's body up, then drops down on her butt to slam Susan down face and chest first Wheelbarrow Facebuster. Susan groans as Diamond twists her over, then sits comfily on her well cushioned chest, grabbing a leg for a pin, but Susan pushes her off at the two-count.

Undeterred, Diamond stands up, then jumps, slamming a leg down across Susan's throat in a Leg Drop before popping back up and measuring up the coughing Britt as she staggers to her feet. She dashes past Susan, hitting the ropes and coming at her fast as she jumps in mid-dash and twists around, slamming her shapely butt across Susan's face to knock her back down, the crowd giving her an excited cheer. Diamond takes aim again as Susan's getting up and she jumps, twisting her body around and using the momentum to bring her leg around aimed right at Susan's skull, but at the last second the buxom beauty ducks, the flashy Corkscrew Roundhouse kick whiffing just barely. Susan twists around and as Diamond manages to land on her feet her momentum still has her in a stumble, the Suplex Queen wasting no time seizing that opening as she wraps her arms around Diamond and yanks her off her feet to launch her with a releasing German Suplex, but Diamond manages to swing her legs up and over and land on her feet again. As Susan's rushing back to her feet Diamond goes for her signature kick again, twisting her body around as her leg slices through the air, her aim dead set this time, but before it can connect she is just booted out of the air.

Dominique grabs Susan by the arm and helps her up, then gestures toward their corner with a thumb. Susan nods and they go and make the tag official before the tall blonde stomps back over to Diamond and reaches down for her, but as she does she hears loud shrieking in Swedish and with an eyebrow raised she looks over at Seleana standing on the apron, leaning over to shout essentially gibberish at the Canadian blonde. The distraction serves its purpose though as Diamond kips up to her feet, then jumps high, twisting her body around again as finally the third time is the charm and her foot smashes against the side of Dominique's head in a twisting aerial Roundhouse Kick that knocks the tall beauty to one knee. Diamond steps back as Seleana jumps up onto the top rope, her back to the ring, and kicks off it to spring up into the air and twist her body around before crashing on Dominique with a Springboard Corkscrew Moonsault, the Cat’s Eye smashing the towering woman down.

Diamond goes over to the nearest corner and steps a foot on the second rope, but before she can scale to the top she sees Crystal waving at her, reaching out toward her for a tag. Diamond hurries over and tags Crystal in, the Blossoming Rose rushing over into position, just skidding into place at the slowly sitting up blonde as she raises her legs to bring them up under and around Dominique's arms, trapping them behind the tall woman's back while Crystal reaches out and clasps her hands behind Dominique's neck, pulling it toward her while she pushes her hips forward to bend the blonde's shoulders back and neck down painfully. Locked in the Power Absorption, Dominique hisses through grit teeth with pain, but slowly she gathers her legs under her and in a tremendous show of power she stands up, lifting Crystal with her, then rushes at the corner to drive Crystal right into the turnbuckles, breaking up the hold.

Dominique rolls her shoulders, still grimacing as she grabs Crystal by the wrist and just drags her well away from the corner, then steps around the arm she's holding and sits back, pulling Crystal into her lap as her other leg hooks the first one's ankle and she in turn grabs Crystal's head, pulling down on it to press the Latina's throat into her shin, choking her viciously with the Dominiqtrix Lock. Her windpipe crushed shut by the powerful blonde's shin, Crystal's eyes widen and her free arm flails, legs kicking about as she desperately tries to gasp for breath, but it's to no avail. Her partners realize she's in real trouble, but before they can move to rescue her they are both yanked down off the apron by the other two Court members. Crystal's vision is getting blurry, her lungs burning from being denied a breath and so she taps out, the referee calling for the bell.

Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, ... The Queen's Court!

[::Jessica and Susan take care of Diamond and Seleana at ringside before getting into the ring to celebrate their win with Dominique.::]

Alexis Rose: Look call me crazy, but I think had Diamond been allowed to continue her offense she was rolling with, S.R.T. might have won this damn thing!

Monica Powers: Crystal doing Crystal things, not a surprise her insistence on being the center of attention cost her team the match.

Leonie Frost: The match was never in doubt, Dominique would have prevailed for the team regardless.

Monica Powers: Maybe so, but now we'll never know...

Alexis Rose: One thing I DO know is that we are dangerously out of time! Goodnight everybody!!!
