WWR CLASH RESULTS:
Match #1: WWR World Tag Team Champions, Carmen DeVega and Giselle Anderson vs. Wildside
This was a entertaining and fun paced match up to kick of WWR Clash. Both teams put on a fantastic tag match with a bunch of near falls that had the crowd on the edge of their seats. In the end Carmen was able to hit the Winds of Seduction on Seleana to score the pinfall victory for her team. This was a great way to get the live crowd up and ready for the night ahead. These ladies did a great job.
Match #2: WWR Goddess of the Cage Champion, Diamond Caldwell vs. Sarah Richardson
Tensions were definitely high in this match, the last time Diamond and Sarah shared the ring, Diamond had to watch Sarah tap out her girlfriend. Sarah came into the match on an all time high, her arrogance didn’t count for how pissed off Diamond Caldwell was. Despite Sarah weathering the initial storm, it wasn’t enough as Diamond eventually connected with her Final Credits [450 Splash]. That wasn’t enough, she picked Sarah up, brought her to the center of the ring, applied a rear naked choke. Sarah had no choice but to tap out.

[::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. It's the first WWR show of 2021 on New Year's Day 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...::]
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUPER TIGER!
IT'S FRIDAY...YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
I PAID TO SEE TEAM HERO
NEW YEAR...NEW CHAMPIONS?
And...
SO LONG 2020! TIME TO PARTY WITH WWR!
[::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...::]
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUPER TIGER!
IT'S FRIDAY...YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
I PAID TO SEE TEAM HERO
NEW YEAR...NEW CHAMPIONS?
And...
SO LONG 2020! TIME TO PARTY WITH WWR!
[::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: Good riddance 2020, welcome 2021! This is 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, what are your new year's resolutions?
Monica Powers: Ha ha! While I appreciate you asking, Alexis! Tonight isn't about me! Tonight is about some WWR Holiday Havoc on Battleground and we have a GREAT show for you to ring in the new year!
Alexis Rose: That is fair! We have several contenders matches tonight as well as three title matches! Headlined by Eliza Frost-Showtime defending the Revolutionary Championship in the main event against Envy Ellis! Dare I say it could be an early match of the year candidate?
[::The cameras pan around the Petersen Events Center as the crowd is clearly ready to go for Holiday Havoc tonight. The lights go down and the Tron lights up going to the indoor parking garage section of the venue as a 2021 Lincoln Navigator pulls into the area. The windows are all tinted so it's impossible to know who's inside but it certainly gets the crowd buzzing about who could be returning or debuting on the show tonight...::]
[::The WWR Battleground cameras cut from the parking garage to the backstage area and it is there where we are able to see an image of Stephanie Sullivan clad in her black sheep attire. She just sighs as she seems disgusted. She looks deep into the lens of the camera as she begins to speak.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: Long behold hello WWR faithful… You know I just want to say it gets so freaking irritating having to stand in front of this camera and say the same shit over and over again…
[::Stephanie just sighs as she seems very annoyed and continues to share her heart.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: There is only so much that I can actually stand in front of you all and put up with. There’s only so much of the same old bullshit that I am willing to take. Honestly I don’t even know what I need to pour out into the middle of the ring anymore. Every single show I come out to the ring and I bust my ass in the confines of the ring. It’s obvious that I believe that shot at the Battle Ground Championship rightfully belongs to me. I have given every single thing of myself in order to get it but it never ever seems like it’s enough…
[::Stephanie shrugs her shoulders.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: When in the fuck is it ever going to be enough?! When am I going to have my breakthrough moment and finally get what I have been dying to get. The only thing I want is to be a champion. That’s all I have ever asked for… It’s all I have dreamed about and it’s never the case…
[::Stephanie yawns as she speaks some more.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: It just seems like I am meant to always play the role of some supporting character. Always meant to be the bridesmaid and never the bride! It is absolutely stupid that I can’t even make a name for myself. If it was Ring of Beauty it was only me being a member of sXp and being in the background watching everybody else ascend to glory. Recently it has been by being attached to my best friend Crystal. Never have I really had a chance to shine on my own and hopefully tonight I finally get what I want…
[::Stephanie shakes her head as she continues to speak.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: I know I have some very tough competition in the form of the Chest and Anya but if anybody in this company deserves to have a shot at the Battleground Championship I know for a fact it’s me. I deserve that chance and I need to have that chance. So ladies you better be ready to fight because I am not leaving this arena until I am the number one contender for the Battle Ground Championship..!
[::With that Stephanie can’t help but growl as she storms off and we go elsewhere. The cameras shift to a martini glass. The glass appears to be filled with a thick red sauce, adorned with shrimp lining it. It sits upon a table clad in a red tablecloth, adorned with lit candles, as soft music plays in the background. As the scene fades back, it’s the voice of Anya Lebeaux that can be heard.::]
Anya Lebeaux: You don’t mind if I indulge, do you?
[::She laughs, as her hand enters and plucks one of the shrimp off the glass. As the scene continues going back, we see Anya sitting, dressed in an uncharacteristic dress, her make-up on point, as she smiles. She dips the shrimp in the sauce, bringing it over and taking a bite, chewing and swallowing.::]
Anya Lebeaux: I knew you wouldn’t. You see, I’ve been waiting for a night like this for a long, LONG time. I don’t know why you do what you do… why you spent so much time teasing me. Your little game has been fun… cute, really.
[::Anya laughs again, as though she’s carrying on a conversation with another person. Reaching down for her wine glass, she takes a drink.::]
Anya Lebeaux: But it was all a game, to you, wasn’t it? You had no intention of actually engaging me. You… dear… you are but a pawn going where you’re told. Well me… I’m not even on the board. You trifled with me, and now we’re close… we’re SO CLOSE to finally meeting. But you have to do your thing… and I have to do mine.
[::The camera continues to pan around the table. The seat across from Anya features only a photograph of Daria Dorsey holding the WWR Battleground Championship. Anya sets the wine glass back down on the table, leaning forward.::]
Anya Lebeaux: You do your thing, my dear. I will handle Stephanie Sullivan, who is so desperate for a moment to validate her existence. I will handle The Chest, who feels as though SHE is entitled to your prize. But it is not the prize I seek… it is the holder of it. I will make this date real… and then, my dear… then we’ll REALLY play a game.
[::Anya laughs again, taking the wine glass and having herself another drink as the scene shifts to another place backstage, we have not seen nor heard from The Chest since last Battleground, where she was felled in her quest to become the WWR Battleground Champion. Right now, in front of the Beautification Movement’s locker-room, Katrina Showtime waits.::]
Katrina Showtime: That’s right, everyone. I’m hoping to get a word from The Chest going into her Battleground Championship contender’s match against Anya Lebeaux and Stephanie Sullivan. And now, mere moments from that match, I think I hear some rustling inside and…
[::The door opens to the locker-room. The Chest emerges, clad in her ring gear, with a focused look on her face. She begins marching, moving right past Katrina Showtime.::]
Katrina Showtime: Chest! Um… hey The Chest! The world is wondering how you’re doing after you were arguably robbed of the WWR Battleground Championship last month by Daria Dorsey…
[::The Chest stops.::]
The Chest: Pardon me?
Katrina Showtime: The world is wondering…
The Chest: The Chest HEARD… The Chest heard what you said. She just can’t fathom how THE WORLD would WONDER how she is doing when it SHOULD be plainly obvious!
Katrina Showtime: I’m sorry if this is opening old wounds, but…
The Chest: The Chest was ROBBED a month ago, Katrina. Legitimate highway robbery! You know it. The Chest knows it…
[::She looks directly into the camera.::]
The Chest: DARIA DORSEY knows it! The Chest should be Battleground Champion RIGHT NOW. But you know what? None of that matters now. Because right now, you know what The Chest is going to do? The Chest is going to walk away from you. The Chest is going to walk down to that ring. The Chest is going to enact some DOUBLE-D-STRUCTION against Step-On-Me Sullivan and Whine-ya Le-BOO. The Battleground Championship is DESTINED to wrap THIS waist… and there is a dire price to pay to those who stand in The Chest’s way!
[::The Chest turns away from Katrina, marching off towards the ring.::]
Katrina Showtime: Um… back to you, I guess?
[::The scene shifts back to ringside as WWR Battleground looks to kick off the opening match of the evening.::]
Arianna Grey: Ladies and gentlemen, our opening contest of the evening is a triple threat way match scheduled for one fall and it is for the number one contendership of the WWR Battleground Championship! Introducing first...
[::"Scandalous by Misteeq” starts to play across the Pa system and Stephanie slowly emerges from behind the curtain. She is clad in a long black robe and written on the back of the robe in glow in the dark white lettering is the word Scandalous. The front has 3S interlocked with one another. The crowd begins to shower her with a welcome of boos alike. She blows a kiss to the crowd which draws an even bigger negative reaction, and she taunts them as she struts her way down to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Los Angeles, California. She is...Stephanie Sullivan!
Monica Powers: Stephanie Sullivan is looking to kick off 2021 with a big win and an opportunity at the Battleground title!
Alexis Rose: It's certainly possible. This match is gonna be a great way to kick off Battleground in 2021!
[::Stephanie makes her way down to the ring she grins as she makes her way inside the ring. She grabs her robe and breaks out into the open jacket orgasm. She shakes her ass as she tosses her robe to the side. She bounces around as she awaits in anticipation for her opponents to arrive.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::The opening guitar strums of "Marching on Versailles by Ad Infinitum" plays as the lights go out around the arena. As the drums kick in, Anya Lebeaux steps out atop the stage, bathed in a red spotlight and clad in her ring gear along with a black hooded cloak. As the hard rock sounds stop, she pushes the hood off her head, approaching the ring. She does not take a moment to turn and look to the crowd, her amber eyes fixed on the ring as she walks toward it.::]
Arianna Grey: From Lafayette, Louisiana. She is...Anya Lebeaux!
Monica Powers: Lebeaux is no stranger to championship matches, a win here and she's got another one in two weeks time.
Alexis Rose: She's the wild card here, Monica. You never know what Anya is going to do!
[::Anya moves back and forth in front of the entrance to the ring...pacing a bit, before climbing up the steps to get in the ring. Once in, she drops to her knees, unclasping her cloak and pushing it off behind her, leaving her in her ring-gear, turning her eyes to the stage for the final opponent to arrive.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::After a brief moment of silence, the sound of a saxophone can be heard over the crowd. This saxophone starts off "Good Girls Go To Heaven (But Bad Girls Go Everywhere) by Meatloaf", which begins to play as the lights flicker in many colors. The crowd rise to their feet as the Chest skips out on top of the ramp, bouncing around in all of her glory. She claps along, less encouraging and more psyching herself up as she skips down the ramp, clapping some hands along the way...::]
Arianna Grey: From Las Vegas, Nevada. She is representing THE Beautification Movement...The Chest!
Monica Powers: The Chest CLEARLY wants to be back in the title picture, feeling robbed out of her Battleground title shot...
Alexis Rose: Well to be fair, she kinda was...Queen's Court interference and all...
[::As the Chest gets to the ring, the song hits the chorus, she crawls under the bottom ropes, turning to pose for the crowd around her. She blows a kiss to the crowd before rolling to her feet, moving to the other sides of the ring, bending over the ropes and blowing a kiss out in the midst of her display. The referee motions to all three women to make sure they are ready before calling for the bell to kick off the first WWR Battleground match of 2021.::]
DING! DING! DING!
As the bell rang, the three competitors circled. The Chest, circling faster than the other two, got behind Anya and pushed her towards Stephanie, who was quick with a short-arm clothesline! Anya quickly rebounded as Stephanie started stomping towards The Chest, catching the former with an elbow to the back of her head. Stephanie stumbled forward, only to be caught with a small package from the Beautfication Movement member! ONE… Broken by Anya!
Anya, still clad in her dress from earlier, pulled The Chest up and sent her towards the corner, rushing behind her and hitting an avalanche! As The Chest staggers forward, Anya grabs the top rope and lifts her leg, pressing her boot to The Chest’s throat and pushing her back to the corner. The Chest flails, trying to get the referee’s attention, but before anything can happen, Anya releases the boot. She steps back, but Stephanie Sullivan had gotten up and caught her with a German suplex, attempting a pin of her own…ONE… Broken by The Chest!
The Chest pulls Stephanie up again, looking to reach under her head for a quick DDDDT, but Stephanie spins out of it, getting The Chest off of her before hitting a rolling lariat! With The Chest hitting the mat, Stephanie quickly measures her up, rushing off the ropes, only to be hit by a leaping crossbody from Anya, who rolls off of her. She observes both Stephanie rolling to the ropes and The Chest getting up, and grapples the arm of the latter, twisting around and rolling her up into a La Magistral cradle...ONE… Broken by Stephanie!
The three women were up in the ring at a virtual stalemate. The Chest raised her hands, goading both of the other women into doing the same - a three woman test of strength! But As Anya and Stephanie approached each other, locking hands, The Chest slid back out of the ring. Stephanie looked to pull Anya in for a clothesline, but Anya ducked under, still locked by the hand. She ran up the turnbuckles to the top rope, pulling back as Stephanie lunged forward. Both women tumbled off and over the top rope onto The Chest below! The crowd went ballistic! Stephanie was the first woman to her feet, and she pulled Anya, who appeared the worst off, and threw her over the barricade! She turned around and The Chest was up behind her, swinging at nothing. Stephanie sidestepped an errant arm before reaching around her opponent’s waist, driving her back into the apron! She threw The Chest back into the ring and hopped up onto the apron. She goes to climb into the ring, but The Chest quickly moved to the opposite ropes, thinking she was going to avoid a quick from-the-apron attack. However, as she smiles, she was the unexpected victim of a Curb Kick, sending her staggered back to the mat! Stephanie bounds on top of her…ONE… TWO… The Chest gets a shoulder up!
Stephanie pulls The Chest to her feet and boots her in the midsection, backing to the ropes. As The Chest struggles to stand fully erect, Stephanie moves in for a Yakuza kick… but The Chest sidesteps! As Stephanie’s boot drops near the ropes, she goes to turn around, but is met by the arm of Anya Lebeaux dropping her to the mat! Anya hops onto the apron and vaults herself over the top rope, dropping down with a knee across the back of Stephanie’s head! Before she can cover, however, The Chest pushes her out of the ring and covers Stephanie herself! ONE… TWO… Stephanie pushes The Chest off!
As she begins arguing with the referee that she SHOULD have counted faster, The Chest is oblivious to Anya getting back onto the apron. She measures her opponent up and, as The Chest turns, Anya leaps over the top, spearing her to the mat! She covers…ONE… TWO… Stephanie shoves Anya off!
Anya rolls onto her stomach, coming face to face with Stephanie. Grinning, she licks her lips as she pulls herself up as Stephanie mirrors her rise. The two women begin to club at each other, with Stephanie pushing Anya back to the ropes. She grapples the unorthodox woman’s arm, sending her across the ropes, but on rebound, Anya ducks the clothesline. As she gets to the other ropes, Anya leaps over the top rope, holding onto it and landing on the apron. As she stands there smiling, The Chest lunges towards her, clotheslining her off the apron to the floor! Stephanie grapples The Chest from behind, rolling her into a schoolgirl pin, but The Chest rolls back, holding onto the tights…ONE… TWO… Stephanie powers out!
The Chest rushes forward towards the ropes, and is met with a high boot from Anya on the floor! The Chest moves back, and Stephanie catches her with a Yakuza Kick! The Chest falls to the mat and rolls to the floor. Stephanie, frustrated, moves to the ropes, but Anya climbs up onto the apron, a grin across her face as she climbs back in. They move to the middle of the ring, standing forehead to forehead as they jaw at each other. Immediately, the two begin to brawl in the ring, with neither one gaining much in the way of advantage until Anya stomps down on Stephanie’s foot, causing her to bounce in place. Pushing Stephanie back, she ends up tying her arms in the ropes. Stephanie struggles in her predicament, but struggle only tightens the vice. As Anya grins, she lays a pair of heavy rights into her head before running back… but with shades of Frost Kingdom, The Chest catches her with a boot to the midsection! She locks Anya, looking for the DDDDT, but Anya pushes her back! As The Chest, thwarted in her second attempt to steal a match from under Anya in the same manner, considers what happened for a split second, Anya leaps up, bringing The Chest down with The Trojan Horse (RKO Outta Nowhere)!! She covers…ONE… TWO…Stephanie finally frees herself from the ropes and moves towards the pin…THREE…!!!...but is too late! The referee calls for the bell.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, ... Anya Lebeaux!
[::Anya Lebeaux rolls out the ring grinning from ear to ear in a very eerie manner as the crowd gives the winner a mixed reaction.::]
Alexis Rose: Big win for Anya Lebeaux who will now challenge the winner of Daria and Mayumi later on tonight for the Battleground Championship!
Monica Powers: If Anya's words earlier were any indication, she's hoping to meet Daria.
Alexis Rose: We'll see if that happens, she might be facing a three time Battleground Champion instead!
Monica Powers: Very true, tonight is going to be very exciting, lets head backstage for some comments from the champion and challenger of the Chaos title match!
[::Brittany Williams smiles as she can be seen skipping throughout the backstage area. She has a megaphone in her hands and she smiles before she raises the megaphone to her mouth and begins to scream.::]
Brittany Williams: GOOD EVENING TO ALL OF YOU LOOOOOOOOSERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS OUT THERE!!!! I know you all hate me… I know you all despise me. After all you are looking at the biggest brat in all of the damn company… I just want you all to know that I was CHEATED and not defeated… I may not have the Battle Ground Championship around my waist but rest assured I am still YOUR CHAMPION and if this company wishes to hate me on me with their BIAS commentary and their blatant hate towards me then I can’t help but wish you all something from the bottom of my heart. This is the season as we just had the holidays, and with the New Year upon us I just want to say you can all KISS MY ASS and I give you the gift of a GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!
[::Brittany laughs as she chuckles and continues to speak.::]
Brittany Williams: You stupid idiots wish to hate on me and you need to understand that by being one of the most hated women in all of the company. I know that ratings in this company have gone up. People watch this show because they want to see people punch me in the face! They want to see me get beat up or at least put in my place, and now because I don’t have the title anymore how can any of that come true?!
[::Brittany shakes her head with a sigh.::]
Brittany Williams: THE FACT IS IT CAN’T!!! And because somehow LAME ENVY who was the worst and boring Goddess of the Cage and Battle Ground CHAMPION ever somehow beats me she gets to fight for the Revolutionary Championship and as if to appease me the company gives me a shot at the Chaos Championship… Do you honestly think I am happy with that?!
[::Brittany sighs as she quickly shakes her head.::]
Brittany Williams: NOOOOO… This is like a total slap in my face. It’s unfair giving me a shot at the Chaos Championship. I wrestle all of my matches with the intention to do WHATEVER it takes to win. I break the fucking system and by hook or crook I go above and beyond to prove a point in order to seeing how much I can CHEAT so I can win. Now you put me in a division in which ANYTHING can happen. A division in which I can get BLOODIED and this perfect ten of a face can get ruined!
[::Brittany seems disgusted.::]
Brittany Williams: I find this to be quite the Brit-Shit! I bet Monica Powers and Alexis Rose are somewhere sitting on their asses behind the commentating booth laughing that I am going to get beat up. They are probably smirking that this match is going to put me on an even playing field with somebody else but let me explain something to you! I don’t give a damn if I have to step in the ring with a Super Tiger… If anything she isn’t a super tiger she’s a STUPID PUSSY and I am about to kick a bitch right in the you know what! I have to step in the ring with this masked freak and it’s something that I just don’t want to do! I don’t want to get my hands dirty and I know for a fact that I am simply better than that!
[::Brittany shakes her head.::]
Brittany Williams: So go ahead and laugh it up because now Brittany is going to get what’s coming to her. I know somewhere deep in your mind this is what you have been waiting for but let me explain something. Even within the Chaos Division I will still find a way to manipulate the rules. I will find a way to cheat and you will all hate it when you hear the words AND NEW CHAOS CHAMPION! Who knows… Once I win that barbaric title I might rename the title. I might it a little more Brittified… We shall see… BYE LOSERS!!!
[::With that Brittany skips away as we go elsewhere. The camera comes on to Risa Saito Jackson, sitting on a steel chair in the middle of the WWR Holiday Havoc ring. It’s quite clear it’s very early in the morning, as there are only a couple of ring techs working. She’s wearing her black, gold, and silver Hardcore Tiger mask, face pointed at the mat, elbows resting on her thighs. She holds a microphone up to her mouth, and begins to speak.::]
Hardcore Tiger: Many people wonder why on Earth I, of all people, wanted to throw my proverbial mask into the ring, making my way through the CHAOS ranks.
[::She shakes her head, the motion only just visible. Her shoulders square, and her foot begins to bounce on the mat.::]
Hardcore Tiger: My question now? Does anyone think I don’t belong here anymore? That Super Tiger is too dainty, too kid friendly to spill blood in the pursuit of building her legacy? To do whatever it takes to have my hand held high in victory, MY CHAOS title in hand?
[::Risa looks up into the camera now, face set in a determined expression.::]
Hardcore Tiger: How many more deathmatches do I need to survive? How many hardcore matches do I need to win? I’m tired of these doubters. I know I’ll always have them. It just means I’ll always have the goal of silencing them. Now, onto my opponent tonight.
[::The diminutive dynamo rises to her feet, unhooking the CHAOS title from her waist and throwing it over her shoulder.::]
Hardcore Tiger: Brittany Williams. It’s a pretty impressive feat when out of a roster like the one here in Women’s Wrestling Revolution, you’re the one at the top of the pile for “people nobody wants to hear speak.”
[::The luchadora holds the title up off her shoulder, looking straight into the camera.::]
Hardcore Tiger: If you seriously think you’re going to take this title from me here at Holiday Havoc, here’s a piece of advice.
[::Risa sets the title back in place on her shoulder, adjusting a bit. The belt is almost comically large on her shoulder, but there is nothing funny about the tone in the otherwise cheerful superstars voice.::]
Hardcore Tiger: Your tongue won’t be enough to cut me open. Your words won’t be enough to make me bleed. In this Sadistic Massacre match, there won’t be any lucky roll ups. You won’t have any outside help. We have this entire arena to work in tonight, and I can personally guarantee you’ll be introduced to a good portion of it. You have to make me bleed before you can even attempt a pinfall. Do you have that kind of determination? Do you think you can bring yourself to bust me open?
[::The masked wrestler shrugs, shaking her head.::]
Hardcore Tiger: You may think you do. I can appreciate that. You may run your mouth, but it at least shows you have the drive to put in the work to try and win this title. But tonight? In this ring? In this arena? I’m sorry Brittany, but no matter what you do, it won’t be enough. My determination is higher and my need to win is greater than yours. I will prove to the WWR Universe and roster that I am one of the most dangerous women in this company. This division? Charlotte Haliday held it in a stranglehold for months. I respect the hell out of her for what she did with this belt. But Charlotte’s time has passed. The end of an era. Now begins the era of the HARDCORE TIGER. And this reign isn’t ending anytime soon.
[::Risa looks around the empty arena, taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly before continuing to speak.::]
Hardcore Tiger: I am the daughter of Bobbi Jackson. Saito Taka. Trained by some of the most dangerous people in this business in both this company and around the world. My legacy began as a tag team savant. This CHAOS championship is my chance to show the world that I’m more than a reliable partner. I am a one woman army wrapped in rainbow colors and the adoration of the entire world. So tonight, Brittany Williams, you step in front of the world’s smallest deathmatch superstar, and neither of us will leave the ring the same way we stepped into it. Always changing. Ever growing. Constantly evolving.
[::The luchadora narrows her eyes, staring into the camera, her voice barely a whisper.::]
Hardcore Tiger: Hardcore Tiger Resu… Go.
[::Risa tosses the microphone over her shoulder, the camera fading to black on a final shot of the luchadora holding the CHAOS title high over her head as WWR Battleground returns to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a Sadistic Massacre match scheduled for one fall and it is for the WWR Chaos Championship, introducing first...
[::“Jump by Kriss Kross” begins to blast across the speakers. As it does Brittany Williams begins to emerge from behind the curtain being accompanied by her wife Halo. Brittany offers a wide grin as paparazzi following begin to snap photos of the two girls. Brittany grins taking in all the boos as she walks down the aisle wearing her tiara with a cape around her back.::]
Arianna Grey: The challenger...From Los Angeles, California. Being accompanied by Halo. She is...Brittany Williams!
Alexis Rose: A Sadistic Massacre match couldn't be happening with a more appropriately annoying opponent!
Monica Powers: Super Tiger could be doing the world a favor to kick off 2021 by shutting up Brittany Williams once and for all!
[::Her attire a glittering red and black mix. She slides into the ring moving her hands through her curly hair. She takes off her tiara, and her cape. As she waits for the match to begin.::]
Arianna Grey: And her 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 the WWR Chaos Champion, Risa Saito Jackson...The Super Tiger!
Monica Powers: And as much as I don't want Brittany to hear this, the woman is a tremendous in-ring competitor. I'm certain that Super Tiger isn't taking her lightly...
Alexis Rose: You heard her comments before the match, she's ready for a war tonight!
[::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. The referee comes over and gets the Chaos Championship from Super Tiger before walking over and showing it to Brittany before showing it to the crowd and calling for the bell to get this crazy title match underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
The bell rings, and Brittany sprints out of the corner, leaping up for a headscissors whip. Tiger cartwheels through, landing on her feet. She returns with a headscissor of her own, but Williams lands on her feet as well before both women leap up, both executing a dropkick at the same time. The crowd roars in approval at the exchange as both women kip up to their feet. Risa and Brittany stare at one another, circling the ring before sprinting in again. A furious flurry of strikes was thrown by both women, blocking, evading, and parrying one another. Risa ducks under a high kick, hitting the ropes only for Brittany to catch her with a quick enzuigiri. Super Tiger hits the mat, rolling aside when Williams goes for a knee drop. She grimaces, landing on her knee only to get caught in a quick step up enzuigiri of her own.
The crowd rallies behind Risa as she begins her offensive, hitting the ropes before spiking her opponents head into the mat. Super Tiger scurries up to the top rope, leaping backwards with a moonsault only for Brittany to get her knees up. The counter proves effective, the luchadora doubling over in pain before Williams rolls out of the ring in search of a weapon. Risa gets to her feet, only to be cracked over the back with a kendo stick, dropping the masked wrestler to her knees. Britt swings again, but Risa rolls to the side, kicking Williams feet out from under her. Brittany hits the mat hard, and Super Tiger rolls to her feet. Hitting the ropes, the luchadora springboards off the middle rope, executing a double stomp to the stomach of her opponent before leaping up to attempt a knee drop of her own.
Williams evades the attack, rolling out of the ring to the floor. Super Tiger makes chase, looking for a tope con hilo, but Brittany evades this as well, causing the luchadora to collide with the barricade. Williams grabs a steel chair from the timekeepers area, coming back and swinging it down over Risa’s shoulders with a loud crack. Tiger crumples, and Brittany drops the chair long enough to hit a DDT on Super Tiger right onto the chair. She throws her masked opponent into the ring, following with the chair in hand, She attempts to hit Risa as she recovers, but Super Tiger evades the attack. Brittany swings again, but this time the chair is kicked back into her face, cutting her forehead open. Blood slowly begins to run down William’s face despite the fact it is a fairly shallow cut. The referee signals that Brittany can now be pinned, pulling on her gloves. Dazed, Brittany leaps up with an attempted enzuigiri, but Risa sidesteps before leaping and dropping an elbow on her opponent once she hits the mat.
Williams is down, and Super Tiger makes her way to the top turnbuckle before leaping off with Flight of the Tiger Mark II! The double rotation moonsault finds its mark, and Risa immediately makes the cover before Brittany kicks out at two. Risa gets to her feet, and as Brittany rises to hers, Super Tiger gets the challenger into hammerlock position before turning her around into the Spicy Dragon Roll! Super Tiger makes the cover, and the referee awards her the three count, and the victory!
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and STILL WWR Chaos Champion... Super Tiger!
[::Super Tiger gets her hand raised by the referee as she holds up her title with the other hand as some medics come out to check on Brittany as does her wife Halo.::]
Monica Powers: A successful title defense for Super Tiger! Perhaps the loud mouth was finally humbled tonight?
Alexis Rose: Possibly but I wouldn't expect it to last long. Brittany isn't the type to stay quiet about anything!
Monica Powers: Heh, you're not at all wrong...
Alexis Rose: We'll be right back with more WWR Battleground right after these quick commercials!
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break as we see the members of Regulators Inc, Sadie Cassidy and Jane Adler were both backstage, as they were outside of the saloon and mentally preparing for the fight while discussing with each other about their new partner.
Sadie Cassidy: Are you sure about the new girl? It's a pretty big risk for us to take.
Jane Adler: You should relax, Sadie. Layla's going to do fine and hold her own. We've gotta worry about ourselves a bit more. We beat the Movement before, and we can do it again.
[::She said confidently, until Cayla, Juliana, and Milana approached her from behind to cut her off.::]
Milana Radek: Is that so? I don't remember you beating me.
Cayla Phoenix: Not only that, you cousin-snuggling freaks got lucky! The only reason you won last time was because I was afraid I would catch your gingervitis.
Juliana Mendoza: Face it, you two had the greatest moment of your careers last month, and you will never be able to replicate it again. You got the flukiest of fluke wins against Myself and Cayla, but tonight you and the boss’s little girl are brought back down to reality. Tonight, THE Beautification Movement reminds every single one of these little girl groups, who the true most dominant team in this business is. THE Beautification Movement are THE WWR Trios champions for a good reason, and you little cow sluts need to remember that.
[::Juliana flicks Sadie’s cowboy hat from behind, knocking it off her head as she walks between the redheaded duo. Sadie, being a bit more hotheaded, would turn Juliana around and jabbed two fingers into her chest.::]
Sadie Cassidy: Excuse you?! I don't know who died and said you trio of tramps could run things around here, but, that ain't about to fly! We beat you fair and square, and instead of being gracious about things, you two decided to be as bitchy as possible, acting like a pair of Karens because you didn't get your way.
[::She said, angrily, while Jane tried to hold her back, as they couldn't risk this turning into a brawl, especially with them being outnumbered. Juliana looks at Cayla and laughs a little, then turns back to Sadie as Jane is holding her back.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Oh, I like this one Cayla, she’s feisty. Stupid, ignorant, smells a bit like bullshit, and hangs out with a dumb skank, but maybe if we cleaned her up, taught her up, and beat a little respect into her, she could be THE official towel girl for THE Beautification Movement.
[::Juliana leaned in towards Sadie and blew her a kiss, antagonizing the more fiery member of the duo, knowing they had the numbers advantage now and would be able to give themselves a nice advantage going into their six-woman tag match.::]
Cayla Phoenix: At least she's almost pretty enough to fit in, her partner is such a freak! Look at her, so tall, and her ribs are jutting out…
[::With that, Jane lets go and grabbed onto Cayla's collar to shut her up.::]
Jane Adler: Not all of us can afford to fix everything about us, nor are we vain enough to. You're a disgrace, and I'm ashamed to come from the same hometown as you…
[::She said, as Cayla would grunt briefly before Milana threatened to swing, as Jane lets go of her. Juliana motioned to Milana to lower her fist and pulled Cayla back.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Oh look at the weak link here trying to show us that she’s got that fire too. It was an okay performance sweetie, but your partner was more believable. We all know that neither one of you are actually going to do anything to us. Not only is it three on two, you two know that our last match was sheer blind luck. Ninety-nine times out of one hundred, any two members of THE Beautification Movement beats Cow Sluts International, or whatever you two call your little team.
[::Juliana decided to push a bit more and now knocked Jane’s hat off her head and dared her to try something, but only for a second as she pulled away, and then all three of them stepped back.::]
Juliana Mendoza: I’m kind of bored with these ladies, what do you say we go back to our lavish locker room and have a nice little pre-match massage. Enjoy those perks of being the first, last, and only WWR Tag Team Champions.
[::Sadie would get annoyed, as she has her bullwhip in hand. She cracked it, snaring Juliana's forearm, as she said to her.::]
Sadie Cassidy: Y’all ain't going anywhere without a reason to get those massages.
[::She said, pulling Juliana back, as they all try to brawl with each other until security gets involved.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Bitch!
[::Juliana struggled a bit with the security wincing as one grabbed the arm that had been ensnared by the bullwhip. After that she let them pull her back, staring Sadie down as security escorted them away from two of the future opponents. The cameras shift to Layla Sheridan who just finishes watching all of this on a monitor in her locker room as she rubs her forehead a bit.::]
Layla Sheridan: Oh boy this is gonna be heated...What a way to kick off my career...
[::Layla speaks to herself before she finishes lacing up her boots and hops up to her feet.::]
Layla Sheridan: But I'm ready for it and anything that comes my way. It's time to show the world what I can do!
[::Layla says rather loudly trying to pump herself up as she swings open the locker room door and goes to head down the hallway but she's stopped dead in her tracks by her father, WWR Owner, Michael Showtime. There is an uneasy silence for a few moments before Showtime finally speaks.::]
Michael Showtime: Look, I know I've been hard on you this month. I still don't appreciate you going behind my back to sign a contract here with Leonie. When I felt you were ready, I would have signed you myself. But here we are...new year...new opportunities...
[::Showtime places his and gently on his daugthers shoulder.::]
Michael Showtime: No matter what happens out there tonight? Just know that I am very proud of you...and I love you very much. Even though you drive me crazy sometimes. Heh...
[::Layla shivers a bit before she wraps her arms around her dad and hugs her tightly.::]
Layla Sheridan: Thank you, dad. I love you so much!
[::Showtime gently rubs his daughters back.::]
Michael Showtime: I love you too. Never forget that...go out there and make me proud.
[::Layla breaks the hug and nods as she dabs her eyes a bit.::]
Layla Sheridan: Oh you know I will! I'll see you after the show dad...
[::Layla pats her dad on the shoulder before marches down the hall towards the ringside area. The look of determination on her face is unmistakable. She was ready for her debut tonight as WWR Battleground returns to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a six woman tag team match scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit, introducing first...
[::The lights slowly dim and turn pink as “Sour Candy by Lady Gaga and BlackPink” begins to play. With every scream, a flashbulb goes off. As the first verse begins, a gold spotlight shines down on the center of the stage and a platform begins to rise up with Juliana Mendoza and Cayla Phoenix posing back to back, and Milana Radek in the middle taking a knee, all proudly holding their championships. As it fully raises, rainbow pyro shoots up on either side of them. They take each other's hand and slowly walk down the ramp, teasingly blowing kisses to the fans. Milana cracks her knuckles and inserts a bright pink mouthguard with BEAUTIFICATION on it in gold lettering.::]
Arianna Grey: They are the WWR Six Women Tag Team Champions...the team of Cayla Phoenix, Juliana Mendoza, and Milana Radek...THE Beautification Movement!
Alexis Rose: The always confident members of the Beautification Movement!
Monica Powers: One of these days they are going to run their mouths off against the wrong team and they are going to regret it!
[::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.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponents...
[::"Honky Tonk Stomp by Brooks & Dunn" would play, as Jane Adler and Sadie Cassidy hit the stage alongside Layla Sheridan who doesn't look overly thrilled about the music the trio are coming out to being the rockstar that she is. But she takes it in stride, just finally happy to make her debut as the three women make their way to the ring together with a confident swagger. The trio receiving a great reaction from the live crowd in Pittsburgh.::]
Arianna Grey: The team of Layla Sheridan and the team of Sadie Cassidy and Jane Adler...Regulators Inc!
Monica Powers: The debuting Layla Sheridan and Regulators Inc. are looking for what many would call a HUGE upset over the champions tonight!
Alexis Rose: And you've gotta believe if they win, they should absolutely be in line for a shot at those titles! This should be fun!
[::Jane and Sadie enter the ring and pose for the live crowd as Layla walks around the ringside area taking it all in before entering the ring herself and joining her teammates. She strikes a pose of her own before the three of them head to their corner, speaking to one another about their strategy for tonight's match.::]
DING! DING! DING!
Our match begins, Layla opting to show off first for her team, as the mouthy and confident Juliana joined in and locked up. Juliana transitioned the rookie over with a side headlock takedown and mouthed off at Layla, before Sheridan took advantage of her cockiness and locked her into a headscissor to reverse the hold. Juliana rolled out of the hold and runs to the ropes, as Sheridan gets up, but eats a hip attack for her trouble. Mendoza grabbed her hair to pick up Layla, as she piefaced her in disrespect, and tossed her over with a snapmare, grounding Sheridan with a reverse chin lock. She wrenched her back, but, Layla does a high kick to free herself.
Sheridan looks to tag out, but, Juliana pulled her back to tag in Cayla. Mendoza plants Sheridan with an inverted atomic drop, as Phoenix clipped Sheridan with a dropkick. With her down, Cayla locked Sheridan into a Figure-Four Necklock, as she taunted Layla while choking her. Sheridan thought quickly to grab onto Cayla's legs and bridged up to try and pin her, as Cayla breaks up the hold to avoid being pinned. Layla and Cayla get up, as Phoenix goes for a Roaring Elbow, but, Layla ducked and dropkicked her into the corner and tags in Jane Adler.
Jane Irish Whipped Cayla into the opposite ropes, as she leveled her with a running big boot on the rebound. Cayla rolled over onto her stomach to try and crawl away, but Jane locked in her legs and grabbed Cayla's arms to force her into a Mexican Surfboard. Cayla was stretched by the move, as she cried out, while rocking back and forth to escape the hold, she gets some separation. Jane tries to set up an enzugiri, but, Cayla ducked the strike. With Jane missing, she lands in position for Cayla to lift her up with a wheelbarrow suplex.
With Jane in trouble, Cayla pulled her in to lock her into the Thirst Trap, as she choked her, wrenching on her. However, Jane began to lift Cayla up for a powerbomb like lift, however, Milana leaned in to tag herself in. Jane planted Cayla with the slam, but, Milana blindsided her with a big forearm to the back of the head. Milana would grab Jane's hair and pulled her back down into a backbreaker. She stomped away at Jane, as Milana goes to lift her up for the Ippenzoei, taking her up and over.
She sets up for her spinning backfist, but Jane avoids it and shoved Milana back. She lunged in to tag Sadie, as Milana was baited into a buckshot lariat, as she goes to cover. 1.. 2.. no! Kickout by Milana. Sadie gets Milana up in a front headlock, as she lifted Milana up and bounced her onto the ropes, and propelled her backwards with a slingshot suplex.
Sadie would try to set up for Frontier Justice, but, Milana propelled her up into a stungun, as Sadie's neck hits the top rope. At ringside, Grace Moretti would ready the perfume, as Milana goes to help set her up. Sadie, however, has the wherewithal to catch her in a drop toe hold and Grace hits Milana with the perfume, blinding her. Taking advantage, Sadie takes Milana down with a crossface and forced her to tap out from the miscommunication.
Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, the team of Layla Sheridan and Regulators Inc.!
[::Layla, Sadie, and Jane roll out of the ring before the Beautification Movement can do anything as they celebrate their win at ringside among the cheering fans.::]
Alexis Rose: It wasn't a fluke! The Regulators scored another win over the Beautification Movement!
Monica Powers: The groups attempt to cheat backfired, and Layla and the Regulators capitalized!
Alexis Rose: Do you think they have earned a title shot?
Monica Powers: I would certainly think so! We'll find out soon enough!
Alexis Rose: We gotta take a quick commercial break but we'll be right back with more WWR Battleground right after this.
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break and the screen lights up and we see the inside of WWR Headquarters as Katrina Showtime leads the camera to her destination, stopping short to watch Mayumi Tanahashi posing with a replica Battleground Title, clad in her ring gear. On a nearby table, there are replica’s of all the other WWR belts as well. After a few more pictures, the photographer stops and gives Mayumi the thumbs up.::]
Photographer: Perfect, let’s say we take a quick break, and then we can get the shots with the tag and the World titles.
Mayumi Tanahashi: They want me to take pictures with those as well?
Photographer: Said all of them. Maybe they expect some big things for you next year.
Katrina Showtime: I certainly do.
[::Mayumi looks over and smiles wide when she notices it’s Katrina. She runs over and gives the interviewer a big hug.::]
Mayumi Tanahashi: Yay, you got my message. Thank you so much for coming up today. I figured it would be pretty empty so less chance of some of the more… petty people on the roster getting mad about the pics.
Katrina Showtime: I get it, but everyone takes them. Sometimes people only have pictures with a couple of titles taken, but everyone does it.
Mayumi Tanahashi: Yea, it’s a little weird, but Paul and Katy have been super nice and easy to work with. Let’s go sit down and do our interview.
Katrina Showtime: You might want to put that down first.
[::Mayumi looked down and saw she still had the replica Battleground title on her shoulder, then looked over towards the picture area and smiled.::]
Mayumi Tanahashi: Actually, I got a better idea.
[::Mayumi walks over to the table with all the replica titles and then sits the Battleground one down. She then looks at Katrina and nods her head. Katrina comes over to the table and turns back towards the camera.::]
Katrina Showtime: Okay folks, we are here with Mayumi Tanahashi a few days before Holiday Havoc. January 1st, twenty twenty-one, WWR says goodbye to one of the worst years ever and welcomes in the new year with an absolutely stacked card, including a Battleground title match where Mayumi challenges Daria Dorsey for the gold.
Mayumi Tanahashi: A match I am more than prepared for it. Might not quite seem so right now due to a lack of trash talking and the fact I am taking pictures with replicas of all the WWR titles, but doing this reminds me exactly why I came to WWR. All this gold behind me, replicas or not, they represent the best in WWR. Some titles like the Chaos and Goddess of The Cage aren’t my style. The tag and trios are unlikely as I don’t have partners, but the World, Revolutionary, and of course Battleground titles, are right up my alley. It might be a bit early to think about the World title, probably for the Revolutionary, but I am already a two-time Battleground champion. This title...
[::Mayumi stops, turns, and looks down at the replica Battleground title. She runs her fingers over the raised lettering at the bottom, tracing the word CHAMPION with her finger.::]
Mayumi Tanahashi: I have been fighting for it ever since I arrived in WWR. Chasing it, winning it, defending it, losing it, I have done all, and I will tell you that winning it was my second favorite thing to do. Defending it, that was the real thrill. I have only gotten to defend it three times, once as co-champion, and two of those were losses, but I held and defended the title with honor and pride. Something I do not feel either woman who has held it since has done.
Katrina Showtime: Daria Dorsey did say that she didn’t know about the interference in both the triple threat and her first defense. She also agreed to have no members of The Queen’s Court present during your match.
Mayumi Tanahashi: Yes, and that has earned a slight amount of respect. If she can manage to win this match without any help, then perhaps she is a deserving champion, but I will not make it easy on her. She may be larger and stronger, and possibly even more athletic, but she does not have the heart that I have. She does not have the same toughness that I have. She does not have the same will that I have. In Twenty Twenty one, I will win back the Battleground Championship. I will fly faster. I will fly harder. I will fly higher than ever before, and I want everyone to Come Fly With MEEEEE!
[::Mayumi grabs the replica title and raises it high over her head as she smiles and poses, raising her hand, stretching out two fingers and then bringing them up to her forehead in a sort of salute before swinging her arm forward as the scene slowly fades out. It fades back in on WWR Battleground Champion, Daria Dorsey would knock on the Court's locker room to break the news to Jessica. What Mayumi said had eaten at her, and her ego. She wants to prove that she is the undisputed Battleground Champion, and wished to prove herself without a doubt to Mayumi. Jessica opened the door and smiles at Daria.::]
Jessica Jackson: You know you don't have to knock to enter OUR locker room right? Is your match up next? I'm ready to go if you are!
[::The tattooed blonde says with eager excitement ready to accompany her dear friend to the ring for her title defense. Daria would scrunch up her nose, as she grinds her heel against the ground. She knew what she was going to say was really difficult.::]
Daria Dorsey: Hey, Jess... can we talk, in private?
[::She asked, as Daria wasn't sure if the other members were there. Jessica looks at Daria strangely and shrugs a bit before opening the door.::]
Jessica Jackson: Sure...? Come on in, Susan and Dominique are off talking to Charlotte Haliday about God knows what.
[::Daria entered the room, as she had a bit of a nervous look on her face, knowing Jessica wasn't going to like this very much.::]
Daria Dorsey: Jess, this isn't anything personal... But, I need to do this fight alone tonight. I want to take on Mayumi on my own, for my own sake.
[::She said, as the athletic brunette could see Jessica's reaction, and knew she wasn't happy about it.::]
Jessica Jackson: Hah! You're joking right?! I mean...we're a team! We stick together! Right....?
[::Jessica laughed off the statement at first, but as she spoke and stared at Daria's face it started to dawn on her that she might actually be serious.::]
Daria Dorsey: Of course we're a team! I love working with you, and the Court has done so much for me!
[::She said, trying to comfort Jessica, as Daria would softly brush Jessica's hair back.::]
Daria Dorsey: But, I've heard Mayumi saying that I'm only the champion because you helped.. and while we both know that isn't true in the slightest, it's been bugging me. I need to beat her without a shadow of a doubt, for myself.
Jessica Jackson: How could you let her get in your head like that!? She's just fucking with you so you don't have anyone watching your back tonight, it's a setup!!!!
[::Jessica says with a high pitched tone in her voice. It's very evident that she's not happy about this and starts becoming emotional.::]
Daria Dorsey: I doubt she will do anything of that sort. It's not in her nature...
[::She said, though, Jessica had a very valid point in that Mayumi could be playing her.::]
Daria Dorsey: If she does, then it's my fault for falling for it. But, that would make her an absolute hypocrite who went back on her word. I know I can beat her, Jessica... don't you feel that way, too?
Jessica Jackson: Of course you can beat her! That's not the point!!!
[::The overly emotional tattooed blonde exclaims trying to keep herself calm but its not working. Feeling like Daria no longer needs her and just wants to toss her aside like so many others have done to Jessica in the past, she can't help but have terrible flashbacks run through her head. Daria would give her a hug, as she tried to comfort her.::]
Daria Dorsey: Jess, it's just for one night. I promise, it won't happen again any time soon.
[::She said, pressing into her and patting her on the back.::]
Daria Dorsey: Besides, won't it make you super proud when I defend my belt against Mayumi, and she can only blame herself?
[::Jessica slowly slides out of the hug and turns her back to Daria, but probably not for the reason Daria thinks. The blonde simply doesn't want her to see her crying.::]
Jessica Jackson: T-then you better get out there. Go on...I... I'll see you later....
[::Jessica says trying to keep her words steady as she dabs at her face really wanting Daria to just go right now as she's trying to hold it together in her presence. Daria could see Jessica was hurting, and wanted to say something, but, she wasn't sure what. ::]
Daria Dorsey: I'll see you after the match, and when I win, drinks are on me!
[::She said, as Daria knew she would have to make it up to Jessica later, but, now she needed to take a gamble on herself and prove she was the athlete she says she is. As Daria exited the locker room and shut the door, Jessica collapsed on the couch and openly began to cry, in her mind being left behind as Daria goes on to prove she can do things without her. That tattooed blonde thought the two women to be inseparable in 2020 and it was clear that her feelings for her friend grew well beyond that of a friend, even if Daria hadn't realized it. She speaks softly between sobs.::]
Jessica Jackson: This wouldn't hurt...so much...if I didn't...love her so....
[::Jessica just begins crying uncontrollably into her hands as Battleground fades out and returns to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a fifteen-minute time limit, and it is for the WWR Battleground Championship! Introducing first...
[::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 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: The challenger...From Tokyo, Japan, she is the Sky Child...Mayumi Tanahashi!
Alexis Rose: Well Mayumi got into the champions head and got exactly what she wanted, a one on one match with Daria.
Monica Powers: And with no Jessica Jackson at ringside, you gotta wonder if Daria can retain her title against the former two time Battleground Champion.
[::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. Looking up to the entrance stage for the arrival of her opponent.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::The Iconic hook of "Still by Geto Boys" would play, as Daria has a slow strut toward the ring, the WWR Battleground Championship on her shoulder as Daria confidently makes her way to the ring...::]
Arianna Grey: Representing the Queen's Court, from Rochester, New York. She is the WWR Battleground Champion...Daria Dorsey!
Monica Powers: Jessica dropped a bombshell on the audience and I'm not even sure she realized she was being filmed!
Alexis Rose: And Daria has no idea, I hate to say I feel bad for a member of the Court, but right now? I kinda do...
[::Daria enters the ring 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. Daria hands her Battleground title over to the referee, who shows the belt to the challenger before raising it up to the fans and then calls for the bell to get this title match underway...::]
DING! DING! DING!
Challenger and champion circle at the sound of the bell, both sizing up their opposition. Daria is the first to move forward for a lock-up, but Mayumi immediately follows and they meet right in the middle of the ring. Daria has a clear size and power advantage and uses it to back Mayumup into the corner. The ref calls for the break and Daria breaks clean, then pats Mayumi on the head. Daria backs up and Mayumi comes in for another lock-up. The Sky Child is again pushed right back into the corner. The break is called for and Daria again breaks but then looks like she’s gonna catch Mayumi with a cheap shot, only to stop and back up towards the middle of the ring. Mayumi charges in for a third lock up, but the diminutive dynamo finds herself on her ass after Daria shoves her straight back. Daria takes a little bit to pose, drawing the ire of the crowd as she flexes after the show of strength. The showboating does allow Mayumi time to strategize and when Daria turns around, she’s met with Sukaihōkī. Mayumi sliding to the apron and then delivering the picture-perfect springboard dropkick to her unsuspecting opponent. Mayumi quickly goes for a cover. ONE…TWO…THR - KICK OUT!
Daria kicks out, gets straight up to her feet, and hits a hard right hand to Mayumi as the challenger gets up. Daria follows with a snapmare, tossing Mayumi over before transitioning into the surfboard stretch. Daria drives her knee into the back of her challenger, locking on the submission right in the middle of the ring. Daria pulls back on the arms of Mayumi as she drives her knee right into her spine, really wearing down Tanahashi. With the people cheering her own, Mayumi slowly starts to pull her arms forward to release some of the pressure as she begins working her way up to a standing position. As Mayumi gets to her feet, Daria transitions right into a side headlock, halting Mayumi right in her tracks. Daria cranks on the headlock a few times before she takes Mayumi up and over with the side headlock takeover, bringing the speedy superstar down to the mat once more. Mayumi attempts to use her flexibility to get a headscissors, but Daria uses her legs to kick Mayumi’s down. Mayumi’s small form allows her to twist and turn to alleviate a bit of the pressure and then get the headscissors applied. Daria pushes off again, but this allows Mayumi to plant her feet and work her way back to a standing position. Daria is a little surprised, especially when Mayumi slips out of the headlock and delivers a dropkick to the back of the challenger.
Daria turns, charges at Mayumi, and gets caught with a Japanese arm drag. Daria is back up and this time it’s the standard arm drag. Another Japanese arm drag from Mayumi, then a big hip toss. Mayumi cartwheels through and hits a basement dropkick, then quickly covers, but only gets a 1 count. When Daria gets to her feet Mayumi is there with a flurry of forearm strikes. Mayumi goes to whip Daria across the ropes, but it’s countered. Mayumi ducks a clothesline attempt hits the ropes and comes back with a flying headscissors that sends Daria into the corner. Mayumi follows with a step-up enziguri, using the ropes as her step. Daria stumbles out of the corner and gets caught with a big corkscrew neckbreaker. Mayumi doesn’t cover though, instead, she slides back out to the apron and works to get the fans pumped up. Daria slowly gets to her feet and Mayumi springboards up, then flies looking for a second Sukaihōkī, only to get caught in mid-air and planted with a double leg spinebuster. Daria quickly covers. ONE…TWO…THR - KICK OUT!
Daria takes a few seconds to get her breathing under control, then pulls Mayumi up to her feet, only to plant her right back down onto the mat with a suplex. Daria floats over into the pin and gets a nice 2 count. Daria again brings Mayumi up to her feet wrenches the arm and then delivers a hook kick that rocks the challenger a bit. Daria sends Mayumi across the ropes, then plants her into the mat with a snap powerslam. Another cover and another 2 count for The Iron Dame. Daria begins Mayumi back up once more, then delivers a devastating shin breaker. Daria follows it with a dragon screw leg whip, now focusing on the legs of her speedy opposition. Daria grabs Mayumi’s leg once more and delivers a seated dragon screw, doing even more damage to the limb. Daria keeps holds of the leg, delivers one more seated dragon screw, then rolls to her feet, once again keeping control of the leg so she can lock in Daria's Inferno. Daria has the submission locked in perfectly, as Mayumi cries out in pain, scratching and clawing her way towards the ropes, moving slowly as Daria wrenches tighter, locking the move in completely. Mayumi starts to slump, looking ready to tap out, but the cheers give her a sudden burst and she surges forward, just grabbing the bottom rope to force the break. Daria keeps the submission locked on and the ref begins the count. ONE...TWO…THREE….FOUR....
Daria releases the hold and backs off a bit. Mayumi clings to the bottom rope for a few seconds, then starts to get to her feet, only for Daria to yank her up. Daria delivers a forearm that spins Mayumi around, setting up for the Caliburn Driver. Daria brings Mayumi up, and Mayumi clamps her legs around Daria’s head, then rolls through looking for a pin. ONE…TWO…THR - KICK OUT!
Daria is shocked as she pops up to her feet. Mayumi is still a bit staggered as she gets up, and Daria charges in looking for a bicycle knee strike. Mayumi somehow ducks the strike, runs forward, leaps up to the top rope, and spins in mid-air for the springboard crossbody, only to get caught with the Truck Stop spinning slam. Daria points to the sky and then covers. ONE…TWO…THR - KICK OUT!
Daria is again shocked by Mayumi and yanks her off the mat by her hair. Mayumi jumps up and hits a frankensteiner out of nowhere for a close 2 count. Mayumi rolls off, still a little bit wobbly. As she tries to get her bearings, Daria charges in with the bicycle knee for a second time. Mayumi side steps it this time then connects with a huge enziguri as Daria turns around. The champion is now rocked and the challenger runs to the ropes, leaps up, and catches Daria with the Kawaii Kutter. Mayumi can’t make the cover though, instead, she rolls over towards the ropes and slowly pulls herself up.
Mayumi takes advantage of the brief rest time to shake out some of the pain in her legs from the earlier attacks and submissions, stretching and massaging her quad to get rid of the tightness and pain. Daria slowly gets to her feet and is meet with a stiff chop from Mayumi as soon as she stands. Daria comes right back with one of her own, which is returned in kind by Mayumi. The two ladies begin trading stiff chops, lighting up each other’s chest. Daria gets the upper hand when she follows up a brutal chop with a hard right hand. Daria delivers a hangman’s neckbreaker and makes the cover, but Mayumi kicks out at 2. With Mayumi down, Daria pulls her towards the center of the ring and looks to lock in Daria’s Inferno, but before she can fully apply it, Mayumi delivers a kick to the side of the head, then pushes Daria back towards the ropes. Mayumi pops up to her feet, charges leaps up, and uses the ropes to hit a tornado DDT, spiking Daria’s head into the mat. Daria is rocked by the DDT, looking almost out of it as she starts to get to her feet, only to be caught with Its Just MAGIC. After the big brutal knee strike, Mayumi looks at Daria, then to the top rope. Mayumi nods and goes to the corner, slowly climbing the ropes. As Mayumi gets up top, she poses for a second before yelling “COME FLY WITH ME!” Mayumi leaps off with Final Flight and crashes back first right down onto Daria’s knees. Daria quickly rolls Mayumi up, making sure to pull her far enough away from the ropes. ONE…TWO…THREE!
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and STILL WWR Battleground Champion... Daria Dorsey!
[::Daria snatches her title out of the ref’s hands and raises it high as she celebrates defense number two. Mayumi has rolled into the corner and sits up, watching Daria celebrate. Daria turns to Mayumi, nods, then offers her hand to the young wrestler. Mayumi accepts Daria’s hand, stands, and then raises Daria’s arm. Mayumi bows then exits the ring to allow the champion more time to celebrate.::]
Alexis Rose: Daria Dorsey retains the Battleground title in a great match, no shenanigans, no interference, just two talented competitors giving their all!
Monica Powers: A great win for Daria, a heartbreaking loss for Mayumi. I think because of her sudden success, we often forget that she’s still very young and prone to some of those rookie mistakes.
Alexis Rose: I wonder if Jessica was able to compose herself enough to watch this match...?
Monica Powers: I honestly don't know. This was a big win for Daria but she's gonna have some things to deal with in her own group after tonight.
Alexis Rose: When Daria watches the show back I'm sure she's gonna have plenty to talk with Jessica about. But I would imagine Jessica is strong enough to be okay after she had a good cry. The Queen's Court isn't done for the evening and knowing her? She's not done yet either.
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break with a pre-taped segment hits airwaves featuring Azurine Vebbins and Trixie Decker. “Da Adorkable Angel’s” hard at work smelting steel chairs while Trix hugs her from behind with both arms. Mrs. Vebbins momentarily pivots near her Camerasphere VRD to display a “Feel The Joy” ugly Christmas sweater which Decker appears to be observing. Keeping with the theme for December 18, Decker’s sweater features a gift box and the phrase “Let Me Unwrap You” written across the chest.::]
Trixie Decker: [Rubbing her chin.] Okay, I have to admit I’m amazed at how good you are with metal working. Like… I didn’t know you had this talent. But, uh… why are you doing this exactly?
Azurine Vebbins: Why am I doin’ dis exactly? Well, A. I’m a 3rd-generation chair-smid. 2. It’s an established Phloriphornian canon custom to smelt steel chairs for family, friends, and enemies. C. I wanna make sure we’re well-armed when steppin’ into dat Steel Cage wid Diyosa and Mason.
Trixie Decker: [Blinking, then hugging Azzy tighter.] I can’t argue that. Mostly because I don’t remotely understand a chunk of it but I respect your traditions. I kinda want to visit your homeland some time. It sounds pretty exciting. As for Cassie and Malaya, what should be our plan of attack?
Azurine Vebbins: On all fronts and…[Feels a spontaneous tush pat which could’ve been Decker’s right hand spasming.] behind. More dan any-din’, Trix, I want us leavin’ Holiday Havoc knowin’ we’re enterin’ da “happiest season” of our careers. Dis comin’ clash wid Malaya and Cassie...it’s evidentiary proof we’re viable Number One Contenders for da Women’s Wrestlin’ Revolution Tag-Team Championships.
Trixie Decker: [Leaning her head on Azzie.] You’d look good with gold around your waist. But Malaya and Cassie are going to give us hell… especially Malaya. I don’t know exactly why she hates you so damned much, but she’s gunning to have your head mounted on a wall. I wish we had a way to use that without her getting a chance to claim her trophy.
Azurine Vebbins: [Subconsciously blurts while hammering out defects on Diyosa’s steel chair.] It’d be sweet slippin’ a strap onto your waist, too. [She glacially blushes before responding about Malaya.] Da amount of dames who’ve attempted to headhunt are equivalent to da fair share I’ve broken of odd-er people’s bones. While it’s an intense inferno to infiltrate, I’m secure in da knowledge we have enough to ex-tin’-guish whatever smoke dose blustery broads billow.
Trixie Decker: [Blinking.] That was a lot of “b” sounds. They do, however, seem to like me. Well, Malaya does. But I don’t think that can be used in this fight. Honestly, I wouldn’t be comfortable trying to. I’m just trying to think of a good strategy. I used to do a lot of hardcore fighting, so I’ve been in my share of cages. How familiar are you with cage fighting?
Azurine Vebbins: Earned my Bachelorette’s Degree in Myriad Matwork Al-go-rid-ms from Nor-dern Phloriphornia University prior to becomin’ a professional wrestler. Deyr was also da time I competed against a commentator’s wife. She claimed I was schtuppin’ her husband which was da furd-est din’ from da trude. If not for ample adrenaline overcomin’ acceleratin’ acrophobia, den I might not have scaled dat wall. Personally, I’d rad-er dive out da door since it’s a shorter distance to da arena floor.
Trixie Decker: [Smiles.] Honestly, I’m just so glad to not be going into this match with someone who’s never had a cage match. I’ve done that before and it’s a living hell. It means you know how to use the cage as a weapon and, honestly, we’re going to have to get creative and probably brutal. [Trixie momentarily frowns.] I’d rather not… but they’re probably looking to make us bleed. Besides, [Trixie’s smile returns.] I don’t wanna have to cover the bar tab for ‘em afterwards. [Trixie stares at the metalwork.] This… this is really impressive, Azzie.
Azurine Vebbins: I absolutely appreciate dat, Trix. Finishin’ touch will be havin’ Malaya’s name across da headrest. Deyr’s also da concern I might not have calculated correct curvature when craftin’ Mason’s model. [Vebbins pulls up a steel chair with cartoonishly curved legs.]
[::Trixie stares for a moment, absolutely confused.::]
Trixie Decker: Why are the legs curved like that? So it swings better?
Azurine Vebbins: Dat would be a better explanation dan it’s supposed to symbolize da spirit of da dame gettin’ dented. Footin’ deyr bar tab would be tres terrible. Of course, dat’s a gentlewoman’s agreement only you seemed peachy keen to agree upon. Plus, well, I’m sure I’d hafta split da bill since we’re dance partners.
Trixie Decker: Naw, I made the agreement, I cover the bill… if we lose. [She squeezes her hug on Azzie.] But we won’t. [Trixie’s finger follows the curvature of the bent legs.] Because when we’re done with them, the only thing more bent than those legs will be their will to fight. Right, blestie?
Azurine Vebbins: [Nods assuredly and nuzzles her head against Trixie.] Right as Rainsburg, blestie.
[::Trixie’s eyes light up.::]
Trixie Decker: [Releasing Azzie.] I just remembered! Since this is a special occasion, like a winter formal, I got you something!
[::Trixie runs to her backpack and pulls out a corsage.::]
Trixie Decker: [Returning to Azzie] And I wanna do this right. It’s been a long time since I had a tag partner. [Presenting the corsage to Azurine.] Azurine, will you be my tag partner?
Azurine Vebbins: [Fans herself and beams a smile brighter than headlights at midnight.] Yes, Trixie. It would be heavenly.
[::Azurine feels herself being dipped by Decker as the camera pans down to the couple of chairs meant for Diyosa and Mason. The scene shifts to Cassandra Mason walking down the hallway with a great huge smile on her face. Why wouldn’t the blonde be happy? In a matter of moments her and Malaya will be one step closer to possibly challenging for the World Tag Team Championships. In a steel cage no less against the annoying Calendar Woman Az and her tag team partner, Dixie. Cassie stops in front of a locker room door. The sign on the door says Satsujin Triad. Taking a deep breath Cassie walks into the room to find that Malaya is not alone. She is seen talking to Cappadonna and Nari. The audio can’t pick up on what they are saying. Judging by Nari and Capadonna giving a waving Cassandra a not so friendly look, they don’t appear thrilled to see the blonde. As Malaya turned back to greet her, Cappadonna interrupted Malaya to speak out.::]
Cappadonna: Speaking of things going wrong… Malaya, how can you let this white she-devil lead you around like this? What happened to our mission? We're supposed to be leading the charge for Asians in pro-wrestling, and here you are parading around with this factory made blonde bim…
Malaya Diyosa: Hey! Knock it off!
[::Malaya said, defending Cassie, as she walked next to her, disappointed with her girls.::]
Malaya Diyosa: I know she sought me out personally, but, Cassie's an alright person. I never betrayed our mission, but, she's not an enemy of it at all.
Cassie Mason: I’m an alright person?
[::Cassie smiles.::]
Cassie Mason: I’ll take that.
[::Cassie raises an eyebrow at Cappadonna.::]
Cassie Mason: She-Devil huh? I do have a pair of devil horns left over from Halloween. Damn it, I should have signed with WWR sooner. Could have had some fun during Fright Night. There’s always next year. Thanks for the great idea.
[::Cappadonna gets up and in Cassie's face, knowing she was no good, and trying to snap Malaya out of whatever trance she was in.::]
Cappadonna: Aw, nah. We both know what game you're trying to play. You're trying to poison our sister in arms with your little honey sweet words, and discard her whenever you get the chance. You're using her for relevance, and…
Malaya Diyosa: Alicia, that's enough!
[::Malaya said, interjecting herself in between the two, as she confronts her Triad aligned ally.::]
Malaya Diyosa: Yes, originally, I didn't want to team with Cassie. But, she's been really helpful, and I thought of all people, you would be supportive of me.
[::She said, scolding her, and cutting Cappadonna deep with her words. Cassie on the other hand snarls at Cappadonna.::]
Cassie Mason: Whoa! Relevance? Clearly you don’t know the cache my last name carries. Not to brag but... outside of wrestling my family is huge in the business world. Multi billion dollars huge. My brother could buy WWR if he wanted to. Speaking of my brother, he is a world famous wrestler to boot. And I have won championships in almost every company I stepped foot in. Literal gold standard in my family. I don’t need to use anyone for relevance, ok?
[::Cassie rests her hands on her hips.::]
Cassie Mason: All I want for Malaya is to be the absolute best she can be. When I look at her, I see a literal Goddess in human form who should be the face of WWR. Not The Court. Not The BEAUTIFICATION Movement. Not The Frost family. Malaya should be. Maybe if I wasn’t so headstrong about this she would be competing in the four way later tonight for the World Championship match. But we have an opportunity to kick some major tush inside a steel cage to earn a chance at the World Tag Team Championships, ya know, against the two women I didn’t see you beat when you had the chance.
[::Cassie allows for that point to linger in the air for a little bit.::]
Cassie Mason: Malaya’s success benefits what The Satsujin Triad is trying to do. Last I checked, most people don’t listen to you unless you’ve done something. Hate to be a debbie downer, as much as I believe The Court and The Movement should be a step below all of you... we aren’t rocking championship gold, are we? No. We need some gold. Then the people will listen. I don’t see anything wrong with that!
Cappadonna: Yeah. /We/ need some gold. Not some bimbo trying to wedge herself in.
[::She said, as Nari gets up and cracked her knuckles while Malaya was a bit ashamed of both of their attitudes.::]
Malaya Diyosa: Forget it. I'll see you at the opening bell. I need some space.
[::She said, getting away from them all, as Malaya was stressed out from all the fighting around her, and walking off scene. Cassie was now alone with two thirds of The Triad. She shakes her head.::]
Cassie Mason: See what you did!! For Christsakes. I was hoping all of us could celebrate after me and Mal become number one contenders. This party has no room for party poopers. Sorry, you two aren’t invited to the after party. I’m out.
[::Cassie sticks her tongue out at Nari and Cappadonna. Knowing what’s in her best interest she runs out the locker room as fast she can. Nari and Cappadonna stand there fuming as WWR Battleground goes back to ringside for the next match up.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a Steel Cage tag team match with a twenty-minute time limit, you can win the match by pinfall, submission, or escaping the cage. The winning team will be declared the number one contenders for the WWR World Tag Team titles! Introducing first...
[::“When The Lights Come On” plays as Cassandra Mason comes out to a showering of boos. Not allowing the fans clear annoyance about who she is and the family she comes from to annoy her. Before she heads down to the ring..."California Queen" hits, as Malaya comes out from the back with a shower of Orchid petals blown in from the wind behind her. As much of a fan of Malaya as Cassie has shown, the miffed expression on her face tells a different story, clearly she is not a fan of her entrance being cut short. The self-proclaimed monarch of WWR makes her way toward the ring with a confident strut.::]
Arianna Grey: The team of Cassie Mason and Malaya Diyosa!
Alexis Rose: These two recently formed tag teams captured the imagination of the WWR fans world wide on the last edition of Battleground, now Leonie has attempted to make sure we get an actual winner in the confines of a steel cage match tonight!
Monica Powers: I gotta admit, I don't like everything Leonie has done here. But this was the right call!
[::Cassie does her best to keep up. It’s clear Malaya wants to be front and center. As Malaya the cage first and poses briefly in the center of the ring. Cassie enters as well but remains off to the side, content to let Malaya have the spotlight to herself.::]
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: These two certainly seem to get along better than Cassie and Malaya, but both teams seemed to function very well in their last match!
Alexis Rose: Either one of these teams could be a handful for Carmen and Giselle. I can't wait to see who they are going to face!
[::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 cage, 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 of the cage before the outside referee shuts the cage door and rings the bell to get this steel cage tag match underway::]
DING! DING! DING!
Inside the cage, we have Trixie Decker squaring off with Cassie Mason, and Azurine with Malaya. Azurine rushed Malaya, grounding her with a Lou Thesz Press to keep her down, as Cassie grabbed Trixie by her hair and drives a knee to her face to stagger her and introduce more offense. Mason whips Decker to the rope and connected with a spinning crescent kick, and then goes to free Malaya from the Boston Crab Azurine had applied onto her.
Cassie sets Azurine up for a vertical suplex, but, Azurine blocked, and retaliated by lifting up Cassie with a stalling suplex. Trixie would climb up the turnbuckle and launch herself into a missile dropkick, hitting Cassie and propelling her down into a suplex.
Trixie would start to ascend the cage wall, as Azurine would lift Malaya up for an airplane spin, but, it's countered into a standing Tornado DDT. Back in the fight, Malaya would crawl under Trixie, setting her up for a Bret's rope electric chair drop to send them both down into the canvas, as everyone is downed.
Malaya slowly gets to her feet, as she is seeing Azurine get up as well. Needing to get them both downed, she rushed over to grab Azurine and rammed her head first into the cage wall, much to the crowd's approval. She tries to do the opposite wall, but, Azurine shoved Malaya off of her, causing her to crash into the cage as well. Meanwhile, Cassie gets up and tries to ascend the cage wall, but, Trixie gets up to catch her ankle and brings her back down. She hits a stunner on Cassie, causing her to slump against the turnbuckle, as Malaya and Azurine are locked into a brawl.
Trixie would hit a running dropkick to Cassie, stunning her, as she joined Azurine to start another double team move on Malaya. Azurine stunned Malaya with a headbutt, as she and Trixie position her with a joint Duperplex, but, Malaya rolled off her shoulders and catches them both with a dual hangman's neckbreaker.
Seeing an opening, Malaya would head for the door trying to get it unlocked, as the official began to open the door, however, Trixie recovered first to drag her away, as Cassie also begins to recover. Cassie goes to climb the cage, as Trixie would quickly hit Malaya with the a double knee facebreaker, as she raced after Cassie. The two of them brawl on the side of the cage, as Azurine gets up to grab Cassie's ankles. Trixie would slam Cassie's face into the cage, as she falls down.
Azurine would hold Cassie back, as Trixie makes it close to the top of the cage. Malaya would then spear Azurine to free her, and gestured to the door at Cassie shouting "Go!" Trixie sees this, as Cassie runs to the door, looking to suicide dive out of the cage, as she plunged off the top as well. Both Trixie and Cassie take death defying plunges to the outside, and both hit at the same time, as the final bell is rung while officials debate on who exited first.
Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, ummm....both teams...?
[::You can tell there is confusion in Arianna's voice as the referees continue to argue the merits of both teams wins on the outside. Finally Leonie Frost emerges at the top of the stage, microphone in one hand as her other hand is placed firmly on her hip as she begins to speak.::]
Leonie Frost: You two teams are going out of your way to drive me crazy it seems...
[::The General Manager smirks a bit.::]
Leonie Frost: Luckily for you both, that is no easy task. It seems your teams are equally matched and nothing I could see from the monitors in the back tell me that one of your feet hit before the other. THUS...you BOTH will challenge Carmen DeVega and Giselle Anderson in a triple threat match for the WWR World Tag Team titles! And under triple threat rules...there MUST be a winner!
[::Leonie returns to the backstage area as the four women bicker at one another as the referees keep them separated.::]
Alexis Rose: They might be heated at each other, but honestly...they are both getting that tag title shot!
Monica Powers: Yeah, I would imagine when everyone cools down they will be pretty pleased about this one.
Alexis Rose: Carmen and Giselle will have their hands full, they could possibly lose the tag titles without being pinned or submitted!
Monica Powers: Well neither of these teams have been able to beat each other yet so it will be interesting to see how that title match plays out!
[::WWR Battleground opens up with Keira in her ring gear. She was stretching out a bit, trying to limber up for her match tonight. Roxi is seen coming in with her ring gear on and looks at Keira, saying.::]
Roxi Johnson: Love the view.
[::Keira smirks a bit as she fully stands. She turns and sees Roxi, saying.::]
Keira Johnson: For once, I get to say this. Behave yourself, love.
Roxi Johnson: Sorry. I just want to make sure you're ready for tonight.
Keira Johnson: Ready as I'll ever be. Charlotte has to pay tonight. As long as she's in my way--
Roxi Johnson: OUR Way. This is my fight now too, dear.
[::Keira nods, saying.::]
Keira Johnson: Right, OUR Way. Then we can't go after any kind of gold. Good thing Dominque is in this.
[::Roxi smirks a bit.::]
Roxi Johnson: Remember, Keira. You need to focus tonight on the tag match. Sooner or later, you'll get another World Title Match.
Keira Johnson: Or since you're here. Maybe you and I can show these women what a real tag team looks like.
[::Keira gives a wink, but Roxi shakes her head.::]
Roxi Johnson: Now, now. You know we're better than that.
Keira Johnson: I know. I know. That one was a freebie. But for now. Let's focus on Charlotte and Dominque. These two have never faced off against women like us. We're Team Hero. We held Gold everywhere we went. Sure, this is our tag debut tonight. But I want to show the world that we still have it while at the same time, show Charlotte that she doesn't mess with us.
[::Roxi nods as she says.::]
Roxi Johnson: I guess you're ready?
Keira Johnson: Yep. You?
Roxi Johnson: Of course, let's go.
[::The scene fades on that Per usual the scene opens with Charlotte Haliday in the parking lot sitting on someones car that isn’t hers. She stares at her barbwire baseball bat.::]
Charlotte Haliday: LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO...
[::Charlotte Haliday screams, her attention still fixated on the baseball bat.::]
Charlotte Haliday: You forced me to play a hand I didn’t want to. Do you think I wanted to swallow my pride to ask the sister of the one I want to rip the Revolutionary Championship off of for help? I haven’t been shy about my feelings about The Court. We’re complete opposites. They represent beauty, grace, the presence they walk around with is suffocating. Hate to sound cliche, women like them tried to bully me in high school. I am the woman from the other side of the tracks. A criminal. Made my living on the streets. I grew up not being a fan of women like The Court. Common enemies have a way to bring you together. Tonight, Dominique and I stand together against you two--
[::Charlotte now focuses her gaze on the camera.::]
Charlotte Haliday: All of this could have been over IF your wife Keira allowed you to take the beating you are entitled too. You stole from me. Because of you Envy has a chance to dethrone Eliza. Knowing Envy the way I do, she has a high chance of succeeding. And if she does, well, that is another sin you need to pay for. It has dawned on me this is a lot bigger than my lost opportunity to get my win back. The first day of 2021 is a blessing in disguise, now I know what I need to do. I need to set the tone. I need to give everyone on the roster who doesn’t stand with me a glimpse into their future.
Roxi, there is this truth in life, unintended consequences. Saving your wife from me was a noble and understandable gesture... what you did was create a problem much worse than anticipated... the result of our match is minor in the grand scheme of things. Wrestling has become an industry defined by moments. Your noble gesture to save your wife is about to spawn a moment WWR fans and the women backstage will talk about this year and the years after, now I know what I need to do.
[::Charlotte takes a deep breath.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Keira, this isn’t about making me pay, this isn’t about your greed to move one step closer to becoming World Champion. This is about the bigger picture, about acceptance, about this company choking at the hands of darkness. They say when darkness rises the light comes to meet it. Bring your light Team Hero... I have plenty of darkness to spare...
[::Charlotte flashes a sly smirk as the scene fades the cameras shift to Dominique Frost walking down the hallway toward the ring for her match, her WWR World championship belt slung over her shoulder. As ever, people know well enough to give her plenty of room, the champion demanding nothing less than the very best, even from herself. She smirks as she passes the camera and gestures beckoningly, the cameraman following her along as she looks over her shoulder, gazing into the camera's lens.::]
Dominique Frost: You scratch my back and I scratch yours, that's how it goes. Tonight I do Haliday a favor and whenever it pleases me I will cash it in. And you had better believe that having ME in your corner even for just one night is PLENTY worth it. People would sell their very soul for less.
[::A wicked grin spreads to her ruby red lips, the camera hanging back just a bit to catch the sway of her hips as her heels click against the floor.::]
Dominique Frost: A boon of such tremendous value isn't granted often, so hopefully Haliday will know to appreciate it. She practically has this match in the bag just from having me on her side, though I expect her to do SOME of the work too. She certainly seems quite motivated, what with how she speaks of the misery she's looking to heap upon Keira and Roxi.
[::The towering blonde shakes her head and brushes her hair over her shoulder to let it all cascade down her back.::]
Dominique Frost: The time to help realize her vision has come and I look forward to admiring the results. Stay tuned now, you KNOW any time I enter the ring you're in for a spectacle.
[::She winks at the camera and blows a kiss over her shoulder as she walks off, leaving the camera's view to watch her go before it fades out and Battleground returns to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit...Introducing first...
[::"Centuries by Fallout Boy" hits over the PA System and Roxi and Keira appear from backstage, arms raised for the crowd to cheer. They then confidently walk together stride for stride down the aisle...::]
Arianna Grey: The team of Keira and Roxi Johnson...Team Hero!
Monica Powers: I never thought I'd see the day, Alexis! Team Hero is here in WWR!!!
Alexis Rose: It's an exciting moment to be sure, the crowd is loud and on their feet. This is a special moment!
[::Roxi and Keira enter the ring where the pose on opposite turnbuckles as the crowd cheers and sings along with the song. They hop down and hug, then begin to stretch for their match as the music fades out.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponents...introducing first...
[::"I Stand Alone by Godsmack" hits the PA Speakers as Charlotte Haliday hits the stage to a mixed reaction, but a strong one regardless. She has a smug grin on her face as the makes her way to the ring...::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. She is...Charlotte Haliday!
Monica Powers: Charlotte spent the time away this December during our break and got a new makeover! Looking fierce!
Alexis Rose: Charlottes look or wrestling skill have never been an issue for her. Her desire to do things on her own have always gotten her into trouble. How will she and Dominique co-exist tonight?
[::Charlotte goes to slide underneath the bottom rope. But she thinks better of it...remaining outside for her tag team partner to arrive.::]
Arianna Grey: And her tag team partner...
[::With the sound of a whip cracking and the theme of "On Your Knees by W.A.S.P." playing over the PA Speakers, the curtains are flung aside as Dominique Frost strides through them onto the stage with the WWR World Championship slung over her shoulder. She stops to scan the crowd with her gaze before heading down the ramp, hips swaying side to side with each step...::]
Arianna Grey: From Montreal, Canada. Representing the Queen's Court, she is the WWR World Champion...Dominique Frost!
Monica Powers: And here comes the WWR World Champion, the Dominiqtrix herself...
Alexis Rose: She told Charlotte when she accepted to be her partner that Haliday would need to return a favor. I wonder what that will end up being? Knowing Dominique, it could be ANYTHING!
[::As Dominique arrives at ringside, she and Charlotte exchange a glance and nod at one another as they both enter the ring. All four women immediately start brawling as the referee shrugs their shoulders and calls for the bell to get this mayhem started as the crowd goes crazy.::]
DING! DING! DING!
The bell rings, Dominique and Roxi starting the match for both teams. Dominique explodes out of the corner, blasting Johnson with a stiff lariat that almost turns her inside out. Frost holds her arms out, gloating to the crowd before bowing to Charlotte with a smirk. Roxi gets to her feet, turning toward Dominique, grabbing her around the waist before hitting Frost with a snap suplex. She reaches out, tagging Keira who comes in quick, delivering a boot to the stomach of Dominique before Roxi drops their opponent with a sharp DDT.
Haliday looks annoyed, crossing her arms in her corner. Roxi exits the ring as Keira pulls Dominique to her feet. Fisher hits a stiff kick to Frost’s stomach, looking for a knee strike, but the blonde sidesteps the attempt before turning and blasting Keira with a huge discus lariat.
Frost pulls Johnson to her feet before launching her into her team’s corner. She charges in, looking for a body splash, but Keira sidesteps. Dominique collides with the turnbuckle, but Charlotte tags herself in, grabbing Fisher by the hair and yanking backwards to drop her to the mat. Dominique rolls out of the ring, and Charlotte gets to work, throwing a barrage of strikes into her opponent that culminates with a brutal spinning backfist before turning to hit a neckbreaker on her opponent.
Charlotte drags Keira of the mat, standing her up, getting into position for the Early Haliday, but Fisher counters with Seven Sins! The blonde falls into the cover, hooking Charlotte's leg, but before the referee can even begin the count Dominique grabs Kiera by the ankle from ringside, breaking up the pin. Roxi is in her in a second, and a brawl starts at ringside. There us a chorus of confused boos as Jessica Jackson comes running down the ramp, holding a barbed wire wrapped bat, sliding it into the ring. Haliday grabs the weapon, and as Keira turns around Charlotte catches her right in the face with the barbed wire, dropping her to the mat with a scream. Haliday tosses the weapon out just before the referee turns around, and there's a collective groan from the audience when Dominique drops Roxi with a powerbomb on the floor.
Charlotte drags Keira to her feet, smirking, before delivering Early Haliday in the middle of the ring. She hooks both legs, and the referee, unaware of the interference, awards her team the pinfall victory.
Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, the team of Charlotte Haliday and the WWR World Champion, Dominique Frost!
[::The crowd boos loudly as Jessica hops into the ring as Daria arrives at ringside to join the others, Susan noticeably absent due to her match being up next. Dominique tosses Roxi into the ring as she grabs a microphone and walks up the steps to get into the ring...::]
Monica Powers: Did we REALLY need to hear from these cheaters tonight?!
Alexis Rose: Doesn't seem like we have much of a choice...
[::Daria and Jessica stomp on the fallen Team Hero as the crowd boos louder and Dominique places her hand on Charlotte's shoulder.::]
Dominique Frost: I am pleased to announce tonight that you no longer stand alone...Welcome to the Queen's Court!
Monica Powers: Oh God no...
[::Dominique and Charlotte share a quick hug as the crowd boos even louder.::]
Dominique Frost: Now, lets make your dreams come true by getting rid of the age of heroes before it can truly begin.
[::Dominique proclaims before she drops the microphone and the four women start laying the boots into Team Hero. The crowd is getting loud and restless watching their favorites picked apart by the four women as "The Phoenix by Fallout Boy" hits the PA Speakers as the crowd erupts and rises to its feet.::]
Alexis Rose: Can it be?!?!?
[::On the stage arrives Super Tiger, Misti Malandro, and Bobbi's Angels as the four women charge the ring.::]
Monica Powers: It looks like the odds are even, but I wish we saw...
[::Before Monica could complete her thought, Bobbi Jackson hops the guard rail from behind the Court, as all five women hit the ring from opposite sides and start to brawl. Eventually the five women overwhelm the four members of the Court and send them packing. Dominique, Charlotte, and the rest of the group stand at ringside angrily glaring at the Coalition as Bobbi kneels down to check on her fallen friends and help them up to their feet. Luckily the cavalry arrived before the group could do any real damage.::]
Alexis Rose: It's certainly good to see Bobbi back, it's very clear that this war is far from over, and neither is our show tonight. We gotta take a quick commercial break...We'll be right back with more Battleground right after this!
[::We are taken to the locker room of Crystal Zdunich. We are able to see the blue haired superstar smiling as she is clad in a big hoodie. She seems to be working out as she doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. She slowly moves her eyes to that of the cameras as she begins to speak.::]
Crystal Zdunich: Hello everybody watching wherever you might be. 2020 has been a hell of the year. I know a lot of bad things have happened within the world and I can personally attest that it has been absolute hell for me as well when it comes to WWR. When WWR came back I was excited to return to this roster. I was happy that the company built me up. They launched the big post across social media about me signing with the company. I know it was a huge deal that every single champion had decided to return and as the longest reigning Battle Ground Champion I know big things were expected of me.
[::Crystal sighs again as she looks away and continues to speak.::]
Crystal Zdunich: People in this company were vying that they wanted to be in the ring with me. I know Diamond Caldwell and Victoria Salinas were each vying to fight me. They wanted to be the ones to take the championship away from me. They poured every single thing into the ring in hopes of fighting for the very right to face me and yet the thing is I just didn’t live up to the same hype. I know I let everybody down. Not only did I not win that huge match I was in that allowed Eve to just swoop right in and claim the championship but I was the one that got pinned. I didn’t really promote the championship like I should have and in the end it’s my fault to blame…
[::Crystal can only sigh as she shakes her head and continues to speak.::]
Crystal Zdunich: I tried so hard to build myself up and tell myself that things would be different but truthfully nothing was ever the same. Nothing felt the same because something was missing from me. I watched Eve parade with the championship and I was stuck in the background. I know Michael told me he believed in me and me getting a little too comfortable drew the attention of Eliza Frost and that was never my intention either. I never wished to be a terrible person or even that of a homewrecker... I thought wrestling would be my solitude and it would be the place where I would find my refuge. Things started to get better. I moved in position to get a World title match but even I couldn’t capitalize on that with a win.
[::Crystal sighs again as she speaks some more.::]
Crystal Zdunich: I could have gotten a chance at the Revolutionary Championship but even that didn’t go my way. All that happened in the end was seeing my wife fight with Diamond. Watching them fight over a problem I created because I didn’t have the strength to tell my wife that I had a crush on another woman. Where did it get me?! Not dealing with a problem got me in the middle of a very heated problem and it ended up with me getting a concussion. Not the way I had hoped my year to go. I never could get back into the fray of the Battle Ground Championship and it just seemed like I was on a steady fall downward. A huge downward spiral and I have been wondering when will it get better?!
[::Crystal lets a few tears roll down her cheek as she continues to speak.::]
Crystal Zdunich: I know things seem to be going well between Seleana, Diamond, and I right now but I know that deep down I am an awful person and in the middle of all of this I hurt Jessica Jackson. I know she hates my guts and honestly I am to blame for everything. She was an amazing fiancé and she doesn’t get enough credit considering she probably feels she’s just in the shadows of her older sister. She’s a special person too and I can honestly relate. I know I am a user because in my mind I have this undying need for attention. I just have to feel accepted and I will do anything and everything to get that attention. I am sorry for whoever I may have hurt and if I could take everything back I honestly would. I can’t change the past. I can only work on the future and I promise to be better than I have ever been.
[::Crystal smiles.::]
Crystal Zdunich: That’s why 2020 is behind me. I am now looking towards the future and in front of me I see my path to finally making things right. I see a chance to finally emerge and get a World title shot and I am going to give every bit of myself to make that happen. I know when it comes to this fatal four match I actually might be out of my league. I know it sounds crazy but I have some game competition. You have Victoria Salinas who had vowed to be the one to take me down. She might be the most active rev wire member in the company. I know she loves to talk herself up and recently she seems more focused on trying to make sure that Susan doesn’t win. I know her and Zoe will try to keep that from happening.
[::Crystal seems uneasy.::]
Crystal Zdunich: Sounds good on paper but why forget about me?! It’s like I don’t even matter even though at the beginning of the year when people were vowing to take my Battle Ground championship I was the focus of people now that’s not the case. I know Zoe has had an amazing run being a Tag Champion. She was even a Battle Ground Champion. She has conquered two divisions and now this is her chance to take over another one. Sounds good on paper but I know I want this more…
[::Crystal yawns.::]
Crystal Zdunich: And of course there is Susan Rigger. My cousin dearest and she will be doing everything in her power to fight so she can take on Dominique and keep the title in the Court or maybe it’s to fuel her own selfish agenda. The fact is I am not here to run my mouth on a rev wire, I am not here to conquer another division, and I am not here to try to keep a title within my ranks. I am simply here to fight like there’s no tomorrow. To look toward a promising future, after dropping consecutive matches I shouldn’t even be here but I know 2021 holds a big future for me. it’s time to right the wrongs and taking action in the areas where I missed up at. It starts by winning this match. Apologizing to Jessica and going from there… Let’s take things day by day and see where it takes me. All I know is nothing and I mean nothing will ever stop this rose from withering… I will blossom through hell or high water. So ladies bring me a fight I will be waiting for whatever you dish out.
[::With that Crystal puts her hoodie back on as she walks away. As the WWR cameras shift we are taken to Victoria Salinas, behind her is a holiday setting where she is sitting down with some gift boxes in her hands. Of course, they are wrapped up like any old Christmas presents and she looks somewhat annoyed when a bunch of fake snow floats down just to complete the cheesy setting. Still, she’s in a bright enough mood as she begins to express her thoughts.::]
Victoria Salinas: Look, I’m someone that is generous and especially on a night like tonight, generous is exactly what I am going to be. Sure, we’re all going to be in a battle to determine the number one contender for the world title, but come on… why can’t I spread the wealth? So, I’m going to give each and every one of my opponents something even though it’s a few days late. I’m going to start off with Zoe Jane…
[::Victoria picks up the blue gift box that was designed for Zoe.::]
Victoria Salinas: I’m going to give you the gift of wisdom. See, you’re young and with a lot of potential and you sure as hell proved that when you even scored a fall over Susan Rigger. You’ve got a bright future in this business and all, I’m not going to deny you that. But, your youth and your inexperience doesn’t allow you to see the big picture. I saw that post you made. I saw you likening me and Susan as ‘high schoolers’ who puff their chests out and having no dignity among all those other things that you said. See, the big picture is… we’re on the same side here. We both want the same thing. We both can’t stand the Queen’s Court. My heart was in the right place, but unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to have come across that way to you as you clearly didn’t see it that way. But that’s alright. It doesn’t change my opinion of you. Of the three that I’m facing, I have the most respect for you. You may fly off the handle too much at times for my taste… but I get it. I was there once when I was your age. Still, I’m on a mission here and I know I’m more driven than you are to win this match and to do right by WWR…
[::Victoria puts the blue box aside and picks up the red box.::]
Victoria Salinas: But I’m not sure that you can say the same thing about Crystal Hilton. I don’t hate Crystal. But… I don’t think she carries the same passion for WWR that I do… so… my gift to her is the gift of having a heart for this company because while she’s a strong wrestler… I just don’t feel it! Her social media is largely the same thing. She comes on camera in this company and cuts a promo and it just feels so mundane and run of the mill. She’s been so inconsistent in this company when she’s so much better than that. She even tapped out in her last match and it’s like it doesn’t bother her at all. She’s even gone on record that she doesn’t care about the Queen’s Court and that she cares about herself. I mean, she seemed to have gotten really uppity when she was getting ignored for the most part. It’s a shame, Crystal… but from what I’ve seen and heard from you in WWR… that fire? It just isn’t there… and it almost definitely doesn’t match the fire that I have. That’s why I don’t see you winning this match, Crystal. Not only do I have a bigger, stronger passion for this company than you do, That’s not only why I have a bigger chance of winning this than you do… but that’s why I’ve been more consistent than you have. But… I don’t hate you. I don’t even dislike you. All of my vitriol? Well…
[::Victoria tosses aside the red box and picks up the black box.::]
Victoria Salinas: ...that’s reserved for Susan Rigger. This box is just as black as your heart for one… but you know what else this black box represents? The complete VOID that you are. How can someone that is that talented and who has done so much in this business lack SUCH a personality? That’s my gift to you, Susan: A PERSONALITY! You’re the mundane, repetitive, outright boring bitch that never grew out of her high school years. All of the basic bitch nonsense you threw at me? My god, I was extremely disappointed in you. You’ve got the abilities of a main eventer with the common sense and the personality of a mere rookie. It’s a shame. But see, despite all of that stupid shit that you threw my way, the one reason why I dislike you? It has nothing to do with any of that. It has everything to do with what happened at the end of Rising… when Bobbi Jackson got massively screwed the way she did at the hands of YOU and the rest of the fucking Queen’s Court! Tonight? Guess what? It starts MY path to fixing this shit! See, I meant what I said when I was done holding back and keeping to myself. I wasn’t lying when I said I was done being conservative and not being in the fray.
Unfortunately for you, I AM in the fray now! I’m the last person you wanted in the fray and with those empty, vacuous words that I’ve heard better coming from a day one wrestling student in wrestling school just made that even worse for you. You’re so fortunate that until now, we hadn’t faced off in singles competition. What the fuck are you going to do when you don’t have another person to hide behind like you did in that Halloween tag match? What the fuck are you going to do when you suffer the consequences of your nonsense? One would think that you would’ve learned your lesson after Zoe beat you. But your words toward me? It proves that you didn’t.
[::Victoria has a moment of anger where she outright tears apart the black box and throws it to the side.::]
Victoria Salinas: So get ready to know what Victoria Salinas is REALLY all about… and that goes for this company… not just you. I’m coming out of my shell tonight. I’m becoming the number one contender… and Dominique, you better be ready because after what you put Bobbi through, I’m the LAST person you want to face for the world title.
[::Victoria has an angry glare on her face as she stands up and walks away. She finds a Christmas tree with ornaments that has the faces of Queen’s Court members on them and she wastes no time shoving the Christmas tree down to the floor, ornaments shattering in an instant, message sent to the Queen’s Court as Victoria walks away from the scene and the scene fades to black. The camera shifts to an up close view of Zoe Jane's face as she takes a deep breath, her eyes closed, then slaps both her cheeks, hissing a bit through her teeth at how it stings, but as she nods to herself she's looking focused, her jaw set as the camera zooms out as she begins to speak.::]
Zoe Jane: I KNOW what people are saying about me, how I am such a rookie compared to everyone else in this match. Crystal, Victoria, Susan, they've all been in this business for over a decade while me, I've only just moved onto my second one of wrestling professionally, but while they may have lists of accolades pages long, there's one thing at which I dwarf each of them.
[::She clenches a fist and thumps it against her chest, which makes her breasts jiggle a bit.::]
Zoe Jane: I got heart enough to match the three of them COMBINED. Titles come and go, I've had that happen already, but as long as you have unwavering determination and burning passion you keep pushing on and you rise ever higher as you refuse to let up. That's how each of my opponents has made it as far as they have, claimed all those titles and made their names known. The only reason I may look like the underdog is because I've had less time, but soon I will start counting MY World titles as well.
[::Zoe places her hands on her hips as she nods, a determined look on her face.::]
Zoe Jane: That's right, not only am I going to go out there and prove to everyone that Zoe Jane is every single bit as capable as any given veteran, but I have so much drive that it's THEM who are the underdogs! THEY are going to need to keep up with ME to hope to have a chance at winning and I guarantee that try and stop me as they will, I refuse to let this opportunity slip through my fingers.
[::She points a finger at the camera, her eyes narrowing a bit.::]
Zoe Jane: Dominique, I'm coming for YOU! I'm coming for the WWR World championship! I'm going to make it so that when I look back ten years from now, LESS than that, I'll have NO reason to shy away from comparisons to anyone I'm wrestling tonight. WWR, you'd better start preparing for your NEW World champion to take up her place on the throne. DOWN with the Queen's Court! Your reign over WWR will soon be OVER!
[::She gives one more determined nod, then turns as she heads toward the ring with a confident stride. Meanwhile, the cameras shift to Queen's Court locker room. The leader Susan Rigger alone and blissfully unaware of what just went down in the ring is already speaking outloud.::]
Susan Rigger: Just imagine the arrogance, thinking they are a match for the Queen. Tsk tsk. That's the problem with such crude beasts, they aren't intelligent enough to understand their own limits.
[::The Suplex Queen sits before a mirror, speaking to seemingly no one in particular.::]
Susan Rigger: They are but overly ambitious apes swinging about sticks as they think to storm MY castle, to challenge the Queen's Court. Had they the slightest bit of sense they'd at least keep their heads down and act with SOME minute degree of decorum, but instead they holler and hoot like a bunch of monkeys, thinking themselves kings of the jungle. But WWR is MY kingdom, the Court rules here and I suppose it's time I gave these would be conquerors a reminder of that.
[::She stands up out of her chair, staring intensely at her reflection.::]
Susan Rigger: Too long have we gone too easy on them and now the uppity fools think themselves to be a threat to us. To US! This cannot be allowed to stand. The time to set them straight is NOW. Tonight they WILL know their place. I will make sure of it.
[::The busty Britt nods and turns to leave the locker-room, almost absently shoving the camera aside, causing it to tumble and the feed to cut out as Battleground returns to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a fatal four way match with a thirty-minute time limit, and will determine the number one contender of the WWR World Championship...Introducing first...
[::The lights in the arena dim save for over the stage as "Bite the Dust by the Pussycat Dolls" plays over the PA Speakers while Susan Rigger bursts through the curtains, head tilted back a bit as she looks along her nose at the fans and walks down the ramp, the way getting lit as she does.::]
Arianna Grey: From London, England. Representing the Queen's Court...She is the Suplex Queen, Susan Rigger!
Alexis Rose: Here comes a former WWR World Champion, the longest reigning one in the history of the company!
Monica Powers: And there haven't been many and you can attribute that to just how dominant of a champion the Suplex Queen was...Love her or hate her, she's damn good!
[::Susan reaches the ring with a flourishing gesture she signals the lights to all be turned back on. A smirk on her lips she leaps up onto the apron and turns, leaning against the ropes while looking out at the crowd before swinging her legs up and over to flip backward into the ring, tossing her head back as she lands to send her hair whipping over.::]
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. 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...Victoria Salinas!
Monica Powers: The former WWR Chaos Champion is nothing to sneeze at either!
Alexis Rose: Her and Rigger have been having quite the back and forth over the WWR RevWire in December, I'm pretty sure they will be throwing haymakers at one another tonight when they slug it out!
[::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 staring across the ring at Susan Rigger as the referee makes sure the two women stay separated waiting on the rest of the opponents to arrive.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::As "Roar by Katy Perry" hits the speakers Zoe Jane steps out onto the stage and makes her way down to the ring, slapping fans' reaching out hands.::]
Arianna Grey: From Baltimore, Maryland. Representing the Phoenix Coalition, she is...Zoe Jane!
Alexis Rose: A decorated champion in her own right, a former Battleground and Tag Team Champion, it's Zoe Jane!
Monica Powers: Zoe got what some would consider a surprising victory over Susan on the last edition of Battleground, can she do it again!?
[::With a running start Zoe launches herself up onto the apron. Walking along it, she heads to the corner and climbs the ropes, standing high as she peers out into the crowd, then raises her arms high before yanking them down, fists clenched, and tossing her head back as she lets out a piercing cry of challenge, like a cockerel atop a weather vane. She nods approvingly at the crowd responding to her before she hops down into the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::"Mega Man 3 Intro 8 bit remake by Video Game Music Remakers" begins to blast all across the speakers as it does so Christina Zdunich makes her way from the back curtain with her wife Seleana Zdunich. Christina smiles as she blows kisses to the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From Detroit, Michigan. Being accompanied to the ring by Seleana Zdunich. Representing S.R.T., she is...Crystal Zdunich!
Monica Powers: It's a champions affair tonight in this match as Crystal is also a former WWR Battleground Champion!
Alexis Rose: And a multi-time world champion in countless other companies. Every woman here is deserving of a title shot against the Dominiqtrix! But there can only be one!
[::She slaps the outstretched hands of all of the roaring fans. She quickly slides into the ring and kips up to her feet as she waves her hands in the air getting the crowd behind her. She jumps around a bit as she tosses her eye glasses to her fiancée. Seleana smiles as she catches them as she claps for her wife. The referee looks at all four women in their respective corners making sure everyone is ready before calling for the bell to get this match underway...::]
DING! DING! DING!
As the bell rings all three other women surge toward Susan, who flings herself through the ropes, landing gracefully on her feet on the mats outside the ring, clearly having been ready for the others to all turn on her as she doesn't even seem flustered. It looks like they're all going to pursue her, but as Salinas is stepping through the ropes Crystal places a hand on Zoe's shoulder, then suddenly jumps to mount the up-and-comer's shoulders from behind before swinging around her and throwing her body backward to take her over with a Hurricanrana right into a pin, though Zoe quickly struggles out of it as the also caught off guard referee barely has the chance to start a count.
Seeing the referee go down to count, Salinas looks back at what's going on and Susan sees her opening, grabbing at the distracted woman's leg. Victoria grabs at the ropes and kicks her off through, then launches herself off the apron at the Suplex Queen, thrusting her hips forward as she dives in knee first, clipping her jaw and smashing her knee right into the buxom Britt's chest. The impact sends Susan's back slamming against the guard rail and she slumps against it a bit. In the ring the two women are grappling one another, trading takedowns and pin attempts, but nothing seems to be getting more than a one-count.
Victoria grabs Susan and pulls her off the guard rail by the head, but Susan suddenly surges forward, her arms wrapping around Salinas to lift her off her feet, tightening around her in a crushing hold before Rigger thrusts her hips under Victoria's and launches her overhead with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex, sending her crashing against the guard rail before landing on the mats in an awkward heap. Susan stands up and smirks at her handiwork while in the ring Crystal and Zoe keep trying to pin one another for a quick win while the others are busy. Crystal manages to entangle Zoe's limbs with hers for a particularly tight pin and the young woman only manages to break free after a two-count. This causes Susan to get concerned about victory slipping right from her grasp and she goes to slide back into the ring, but her leg is grabbed and she's yanked right back outside by Salinas and the two begin brawling furiously.
Zoe rolls away from Crystal and to her feet as it's looking like eventually this approach may lead her to an even worse outcome, but Crystal doesn't seem to mind the created space as the speedy Latina rushes after her and slips under a rushed attempt at a Clothesline. Zdunich runs at the ropes and springboards off them, catching Zoe's head between her thighs to take her down with another Hurricanrana before jumping right back up and rushing to the ropes again, coming off the ropes back at Zoe with a Handspring before she launches herself into a backwards flip to Moonsault the downed girl, only for Zoe to bring her knees up so Crystal crashes across them. Holding her stomach, Crystal recoils, staggering backward while Zoe gets up.
Showing her own speed, Zoe rushes after Crystal and dropkicks a leg right out from under her, then gets up and keep running, hitting the ropes and charging at Crystal to step off her knee and blast her in the head with a Shining Enzuigiri that lays Crystal out. Outside the ring Susan arches her back as she's driven into the guard rail again and Salinas rushes in, throwing herself at the busty beauty to blast her in the face with a Jumping Yakuza Kick that sends her right over the rail to the floor outside it. Victoria leans on the railing, catching her breath, while Zoe goes to pull Crystal up, only for the crafty veteran to slide an arm through her legs and take her over backward in a School Girl Takedown, but rather than stack her up for a pin Crystal slides her legs under Zoe's arms, looking to lock in the Power Absorption.
Seeing this, Victoria rushes into the ring and breaks it up not wanting Crystal to claim the win with a submission, and pulls the Latina beauty up by her hair before flinging her at the ropes. Using her acute sense of position, Crystal manages to grab the ropes and swing herself right back into the ring, catching Salinas by surprise as she nails her with a Flashing Lights kick, knocking her down to a knee in a stunned state. Crystal hooks her arm around Victoria's head, looking to plant her with the Rock & Roll, but before she can hit her finishing DDT Zoe charges at her and flings herself at the Blossoming Rose, blasting her with both feet in a frontal Dropkick that sends her flying backward at the ropes, this time tumbling through them and out of the ring. For her troubles as she's getting back up Zoe is grabbed by Victoria, who swings her legs up and scissors them around the Asian beauty's head, then swings her body into position to grab her arm and lock in her Unbreakable Victory.
Zoe staggers about, having to support Victoria's weight in the hold and as it looks like her legs are about to give out Salinas suddenly gets blasted with a Dropkick, sending the both of them tumbling over the ropes and to the mats below. Rigger smirks as she rolls out of the ring and looks at the trio of laid out women, deciding to grab Crystal and shove her in under the ropes, following her in and dragging her to her feet. She grabs a hold around Crystal's neck and her near leg, clasping her hands as she goes for the Rigger Plex, but Crystal manages to kick off with her free leg jus as Susan's bringing her body for the Suplex, flipping backward out of Susan's somewhat lax grip to land on her feet.
Shocked, Susan scampers to her feet only for Crystal to snatch hold of her head and tuck it under her arm, swinging her leg back behind her as she goes for the Rock & Roll again, but before she can hit it a growling through her teeth Susan wraps her arms around her and lifts her off her supporting foot to swing her around a bit in a Bear Hug before she turns her back to the ropes and just tosses Crystal over them in another Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Crystal manages to reach down and grab the ropes again though, pulling herself to the apron before springboarding at Susan, catching the surprised Britt's head between her thighs as she sharply yanks her down and slams her shoulders against the canvas in an Ultra Hurricanrana, seizing hold of Susan's legs for a pin, but even as the referee hurries to get into position to count the pin Zoe jumps right over them to again blast Crystal with a Dropkick and break up the pin.
As Zoe stands up she looks down to see arms wrapping around her waist, but before Susan can clasp her hands Zoe grabs her wrists, holding her hands apart, then slips under an arm and behind Rigger, wrapping her arms around the busty beauty's top trap them behind Susan's back before arching her body to take her up and over backward and slam the Suplex Queen down on the back of her head with a Tiger Suplex. Zoe doesn't hold on though as she knows she doesn't have a clear path to victory and indeed as she's standing up she has to hurriedly catch Crystal's foot to stop her mid-kick. She tucks the caught limb under her arm and swings her other arm around it as she twists around and drops down, twisting the leg painfully with a Dragon Screw Leg Whip. Crystal cries out in pain and Zoe hurries to cross the downed Latina's legs in a Figure Four position, then steps one leg over the crossed up legs ankle before she twists Crystal onto her belly and right into the Figure Four Sharpshooter that Zoe calls the Phoenix Deathlock. Victoria slides into the ring and hurries over to break up the hold, but she's too late as Crystal isn't facing toward her to see her salvation coming and taps out to the pain.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, Zoe Jane!
[::Susan Rigger screams in frustration at ringside as Victoria Salinas groans beating herself up for not making it in time to break up the submission. Zoe jumps up and down in excitement as the crowd cheers her on as she will be the next to challenge for the WWR World Championship.::]
Alexis Rose: Zoe does it again! Last show Susan...this show, Crystal! Both former World Champions in this business!
Monica Powers: She's certainly on a hot streak, will she be able to keep that up against Dominique or will the champion put her on ice?
Alexis Rose: I wish I knew Monica, but that's why these athletes step into the ring to settle things. I can't wait to see this match!
Monica Powers: You and me both, Alexis!
Alexis Rose: Our main event is up next, but first...a word for the challenger and champion! Can we go to that footage now?
Envy Ellis: History…
[::The scene rises up to a studio setting, where Envy Ellis can be seen sitting on a chair. Production equipment is behind her, and a single camera is trained on her.::]
Envy Ellis: I mean, is there anyone more geared towards history in WWR than me?
[::She smirks as she leans forward.::]
Envy Ellis: NIGHT ONE of WWR and I made history by becoming the FIRST official Champion in this company, taking advantage of an edict that whoever had possession of the Battleground Championship belt when the show went off the air would be the first recognized Champion. That was me. HISTORY! Fast forward a couple months, and I made history again when I made Aura Everton tap out inside the cage to become the FIRST ever Goddess of the Cage Champion. HISTORY!
[::Envy sits back again, her arms outstretched as she smiles.::]
Envy Ellis: It just follows me. And here we are, ready to kick off a brand new year in style… and for my money, what better way to usher in a new year than to see a new Revolutionary Champion crowned in the main event?
[::She laughs.::]
Envy Ellis: I mean… think about it. I came into WWR a complete unknown. I didn’t have any reputation from past companies. I wasn’t a known commodity. I wasn’t someone who this company knew would be a coup to get signed. I didn’t come in with fans already following me. Everything I have, everything I BUILT in this company, I did from scratch. I am a WWR original through and through! In these veins IS this company. So why wouldn’t you want to see someone like me succeed? Why wouldn’t you get fired up by the idea that I could become THE Revolutionary Champion? This isn’t my first crack at the belt, but I guarantee you that if you look at the woman who competed for that belt in the ladder match at WWR’s first pay per view and the woman sitting here today, you’re not seeing the same woman.
[::Envy pauses a bit, considering the upcoming match. She leans forward, her arms on her legs, as she clasps her hands together.::]
Envy Ellis: Eliza Frost… She’s been a great Champion. I won’t deny that. But at the same time, I won’t let that stand in the way of my ambition, my goals. I will one day become the WWR World Champion, and that Revolutionary Championship is just another step along the way. Eliza… I want to address you directly…
[::Envy turns, facing the camera directly.::]
Envy Ellis: I know you’re proud of what you’ve accomplished as Champion, and I know you want to hold onto it as long as you can. But… and this is a big “but”... you’re not facing someone who’s going to roll over and die. You want to keep that belt away from me? You’re going to have to throw everything you can at me. You’re going to have to do everything in your power to keep me down. And in the end, I promise you, everything you have will still not be enough. The kitchen sink will not be enough. I will keep digging… keep rising… KEEP FIGHTING… until I wrest that Championship out of your grasp and wrap it around my waist! Just try and stop me.
[::She stands up, unclipping the microphone from her shirt and walking off the set as the scene shifts to the Revolutionary Champion. Eliza stares down at the WWR Revolutionary championship belt as it rests on her lap, then taking a deep breath she stands up and wraps the belt around her waist, fastening it in place. She raises her gaze to stare into the camera.::]
Eliza Frost: The main event, huh? I feel a lot of people don't always appreciate the significance of those words. WWR puts on amazing shows where, honestly, missing ANY of them is for suckers. Top to bottom, we provide the best wrestling out there, the most bang for your buck. But even with that said, there is definitely something special about the main event, the match chosen to close out the show on the highest of notes.
[::She slides a hand over the metal plate of her title belt, smirking a bit.::]
Eliza Frost: Of course, I've already proven that I can deliver a match worth remembering, in fact ANY match I'm in is going to be a guaranteed hit. This is far from my first rodeo, if you will, but still, like I said some people forget to appreciate the main event, but not me. I'm very pleased with this opportunity to showcase my talent on the spot where it belongs and against an opponent I can really push my limits with. Envy is a heck of a competitor, but...
[::She chuckles as the shapely champion winks at the camera.::]
Eliza Frost: ...she is NO Eliza Frost and that's one thing I'm going to prove tonight. The other is that while my sister may be the one holding the WWR World championship... for NOW... the REAL talent in the family is RIGHT HERE.
[::She pokes her chest with her thumb.::]
Eliza Frost: Unlike Dominique I can't just lean on brute force, so even back when we were teaming up I just had to be that damn good to hold my own and as you can see...
[::Eliza pushes her curvy hips forward to highlight her championship as the lights catch the reflective metal of the plate.::]
Eliza Frost: ...I'm better today than I've ever been. Tonight I test myself against a worthy challenger whose high caliber of skills are a close match to my own and after I win I'll emerge even better, even more finely honed for it. You just bring everything you've got, Envy. Every last bit of it. Help me forge an even more brightly shining Eliza Frost, Revolutionary champion of WWR.
[::The young Frost touches her fingertips to her lips, then blows the kiss from them at the camera before she takes off for the ring, ready to defend her championship as Battleground heads to ringside for the main event of the evening.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is your main event of the evening with a sixty-minute time limit, and it for the WWR Revolutionary Championship! Introducing first...
[::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. She doesn’t pose or play to the crowd, choosing instead to walk directly towards the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: The challenger, from Washington, DC, she is...Envy Ellis!
Monica Powers: Still weird not seeing gold around Envy's waist. She always seems to have a title around here...
Alexis Rose: Well she's looking to get a new title around her waist tonight, but she's got an opponent that is going to be ready for a war!
[::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 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 has had quite the run in WWR in 2020. She hasn't lost many times and when she did, her opponent definitely earned that win!
Alexis Rose: Well except that time her sister turned on her, not sure how much Susan deserved that win. But yea, I get what you mean...This main event is gonna be fantastic!
[::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 across the ring at her challenger and smiles at her pointing at the title on her shoulder before handing it off to the referee who shows it to Envy before showing it to the crowd and rings the bell to get this main event title match underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
As the bell is rung the two women hesitantly circle around one another, their eyes locked as both know making a mistake early on could be costly. Suddenly Eliza extends a hand toward Envy, offering it for a shake. Ellis raises an eyebrow, briefly wondering if the Revolutionary champion is mental to just stick her arm out for the submission specialist... but then she shakes Eliza's hand and the tension visibly eases in both women as they resume the circling motion before as one coming together to lock up. Envy slips under Eliza's arm to bend it behind her back into a Hammerlock, but Eliza reaches back with her free and arm and manages to grab the back of Envy's head, dropping to a knee to take her over in a Snapmare of sorts. Envy rolls right back to her feet and smirks a bit.
The two women lock up again and jockey for position, trading brief holds, takedowns and quick pin attempts as they match their technical prowess against one another, neither taking a clear lead for a while. Eventually Eliza starts finding herself more on her back than not and Envy even looks like she's about to lock in an Armbar, possibly her finishing Green With Envy, before Eliza yanks her arm free and rolls away from the technical wizard. Envy rushes after her to push the advantage, but Eliza manages to scissor her legs with hers, taking her down with a Drop Toehold. She tries to trap Envy's leg between her thighs to lock in an STF, but the crafty grappler twists free and kicks her away, hopping to her feet.
Envy lunges after the off-balance Eliza, kneeing her in the stomach and grabs her by the arm, sending her into the corner with an Irish Whip. She charges after her as Eliza hits the turnbuckles back first, making the champion cringe in pain, and throws herself at Eliza in a Corner Splash, but the junior Frost sister grits her teeth as she refuses to let the pain slow her and she manages to side-step Envy, who barely manages to grab the top rope and stop herself from crashing into the corner. Eliza slips her head under Envy's arm from behind and grabs the backs of her knees, lifting her up into the air before slamming her ass onto a waiting knee, making Envy's eyes widen as she lets out a shriek.
Envy swings back an elbow at Eliza's head, but it fails to connect as Eliza ducks her head down, then grabs the arm and spins Envy to face her before lifting her off her feet again and dropping her crotch first on her knee in an Inverted Atomic Drop. Ellis slumps down in the corner, her face a mask of pain as she holds her crotch with both hands. Eliza smirks as she turns around and bends over at the waist, wiggling her shapely hips before she goes to back her great big round ass up into Envy's face, but Ellis isn't about to take that humiliation laying down, instead slipping out under the ropes and grabbing Eliza's ankles to yank her feet out from under her, sending her landing splat on her face.
Ellis twists Eliza over and drags her toward the corner post to tangle her legs up in a Figure Four position as she locks in the Leglock and leans backward, using her weight to put extra pressure on the hold as Eliza cries out in pain. The referee tells Envy to break it up and starts a count, forcing her to let go and slide back into the ring while Eliza Nurses her leg, using the ropes to gingerly get back to her feet. Envy patiently waits for Eliza to get off the ropes, shifting her weight from foot to foot in a low, wide stance and as Eliza finally comes at her she dives right at her legs, grabbing the hurting one and wrapping her legs around it while she rolls to take the champion down right into a Legbar, locking in the Vice.
Eliza cries out in pain and kicks at Envy to get her off, managing to smash her fingers with her heel to break the grip and slip free from the hold. She hurries to her feet as best she can, but is clearly hobbled by the damage her leg has sustained and Envy is right back on her like a shark smelling blood in the water. The technical grappler dives at Eliza's legs, looking to take her back down again, but as Eliza sticks her arms around Ellis grins and instead grabs her left wrist, then swings her right arm around the caught limb and drops down, wrenching it painfully in a Dragon Screw. Eliza is flipped over by the yank on her arm and only as she realizes how vulnerable she is do her closed from pain eyes snap open and she hurriedly reaches with her foot to the ropes right as Envy is about to slap on the Green With Envy.
The referee tells Ellis to let go, which she after a brief hesitation does, backing up a bit as she takes a deep breath, looking to keep her cool since she has the clear advantage with Eliza's arm and leg both hurting. Eliza pulls herself up again, shaking her arm and visibly favoring her aching leg as she eyes her opponent. Envy has her sights locked on the Revolutionary champion, watching her every motion as Eliza steps away from the ropes, then she charges in again, looking to seize the moment and claim her victory, but suddenly Eliza grits her teeth, ignoring the pain in her leg as she jumps and twists around, thrusting her hips back to slam her mighty ass into the surprised Envy's face, knocking her head back from the impact.
As Envy staggers backward Eliza forces her body to obey, hurrying in to grab Envy's arm and yank her in to lift her off her feet and high up while the shapely champion staggers backward, then falls down to drop Envy throat first into the top rope in a Stun Gun. Envy grabs at her throat and coughs while she goes to stagger back again, only for Eliza to Drop Toehold her again, right into the second rope. She steps a foot on Envy's back and kicks herself into a jump over the ropes, dropping her great big butt on the back of Envy's head to almost decapitate her on the second rope. Envy recoils away from the ropes, coughing violently as her eyes tear up and vision blurs and she rubs her throat.
Eliza rolls back in the ring and goes over to Envy, dragging her up to her knee as she reaches an arm across her throat, looking to set her up for the Frosty Top Popper, but though she can't see right now Envy can definitely feel the arm and she grabs it, twisting around to take Eliza down by it, then bringing her legs about to wrap them around the caught limb, but she doesn't quite have the positioning just right and her throat is still giving her trouble as she coughs, giving Eliza just enough time to roll toward her and stack the submission specialist up in a pinning hold. The referee dives down to count, but Envy kicks out at two. She hurries to her feet, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, but as she regains her vision she finds the world going upside down as she's lifted onto Eliza's back and the shapely brunette tucks Envy's legs under her arms as she gets on her tippy toes, then drops down, driving Ellis down with Avalanche as her great big butt lands right on her face and she holds her in place tightly as the referee counts one, two and three.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and STILL WWR Revolutionary Champion... Eliza Frost-Showtime!
[::Eliza rises up exhausted as the referee hands her the Revolutionary Championship as she hugs it close to her chest with both arms before just holding it with one as the referee raises her hand with the other. Ellis gets to her feet and looks spent too. These two have been through a war. Eliza offers Envy a head nod of respect and Ellis returns it before leaving the ring.::]
Alexis Rose: What a freaking main event to kick off 2021!!!
Monica Powers: These two tore the damn house down! That match was AWESOME!
Alexis Rose: It truly could have gone either way, but Eliza pulled it off tonight. Nothing for Envy to be ashamed of.
Monica Powers: Absolutely not, these two proved why they will be headlining WWR shows for years to come!
Alexis Rose: We hope you enjoyed Holiday Havoc folks, we'll see you back in two weeks for another edition of WWR Battleground! Goodnight everybody!
