WWR CLASH RESULTS:
Match #1: Crystal Zdunich vs. Jonna Austin

Match #2: Envy Ellis vs. Misti Malandro
It was a great match as Misti came with a purpose to prove her injury was behind her and gave Envy everything she could handle who might have been over looking her opponent tonight. In the end though, Envy got the win and showed a sign of respect to Malandro after the match impressed with the fight she gave her in the main event of Clash.

[::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 time for New Year's Revolution II 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...::]
WHY CHARLOTTE WHY?
PUT ME IN THE DOMINQTRIX LOCK
THE CHEST = BETTER THAN YOU
WELCOME BACK BOBBI
And...
STEELE IS OUTRAGEOUS
[::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...::]

STEELE IS OUTRAGEOUS
[::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: With a pay-per-view just two weeks away we bring you New Year's Revolution II! Welcome to Women's Wrestling Revolution Battleground! Coming to you live here at the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I'm Alexis Rose and I'm joined as always by my broadcast partner, Monica Powers! Monica, are you ready for a show tonight that could quite frankly rival any pay-per-view!?
Monica Powers: I sure am, Alexis! So many titles on the line tonight including the big one as Dominique Frost will defend the WWR World Championship against Zoe Jane in tonight's main event!
Alexis Rose: Our card is stacked from top to bottom but before we get started, I hear that Katrina Showtime is standing by with Envy Ellis, fresh off her victory on WWR Clash. Do we have the cameras back there? Take it away Katrina!
[::The cameras pan around the Petersen Events Center as the crowd is clearly ready to go for New Year's Revolution II tonight. The lights go down and the Tron lights up going to Katrina Showtime, who sits inside a room set to stage interviews. Across from her, clad in her civvies, is Envy Ellis.::]
Katrina Showtime: Thank you, Alexis...and Envy, thank you for joining me this evening.
[::Envy nods.::]
Katrina Showtime: Now, the first thing on everyone’s mind is two weeks ago, where you came within an eyelash of becoming the WWR Revolutionary Champion, only to fall just short in your efforts against Eliza Frost. I understand that, for a competitor such as yourself, that may be a tough pill to swallow.
[::Envy chuckles, adjusting her position in her seat.::]
Envy Ellis: Katrina… yeah. It stung. I was hoping to start off 2021 in a strong way, and what would have been stronger than putting down Eliza Frost and becoming the WWR Revolutionary Champion? And you said it: I came within an eyelash of doing exactly that. But you know what?
Katrina Showtime: What?
Envy Ellis: You take a look around the WWR roster. You look at the current Champions. And then you tell me one… just ONE… who has never been knocked down? Hell… Dominique Frost, the World Champion, fell to Bobbi Jackson earlier in the SAME NIGHT she won the World Championship. The measure of one’s success isn’t solely in how things go their way. It’s also in how one responds when things DON’T. Now earlier tonight on Clash, you saw how I responded. Misti Maldonado? I respect her. And if I would be willing to do what I did to someone I respect, just think about what I would do to someone I didn’t. So no, I’m not the WWR Revolutionary Champion today. But you know what I am? I am someone who is STILL on the road to the top. I am someone who’s road will NOT be stomped out by a single setback.
Katrina Showtime: That is admirable, Envy, but with all due respect, I don’t think you asked for this time to rattle off similar words to what you said on the RevWire.
[::Envy smiles, shaking her head.::]
Envy Ellis: You’re a smart one, aren’t you?
Katrina Showtime: Well, I try...
Envy Ellis: You’re exactly right. The message I have isn’t just about the fact… and believe it, it is an absolute FACT… that I am on the road to the top of WWR. This is about more than Championships. Because again, you look around this locker-room, and what do you see? You see women who have wrestled all over the world. You have former Champions from all measures of companies. You have former World Champions. You have an invertible mosaic of talent that plied their craft, built their reputations, and brought their talents here, along with the eyes of the spectators. That’s a good thing. But then you have women like me. And no… scratch that. Not women LIKE me… because I look in the locker-room and there isn’t a single woman here who is like me. I signed onto the WWR roster with no reputation… no history. I came here a blank canvas and since day one, I have worked to build myself up HERE… in WWR. So when people who follow WWR look back, they’re not going to see the Queen’s Court that was imported from outside as the defining factor in this company’s success. They’re not going to look at fifteen-time World Champions. They’re not going to look at women who compete in half-a-dozen companies, raising THEIR stock. But me? Every time I step into that ring, I build not only myself, BUT this company. I’m a WWR original. And that’s the message I want to convey… so turn that camera this way…
[::The camera turns to face Envy, who turns to directly look into it.::]
Envy Ellis: You can call me whatever you want. Call me the franchise player. Call me the cornerstone. Call me the embodiment of this company. When it comes to building something like WWR, you need to build on a strong foundation. And that’s exactly what I am… I am The Foundation! And you had better believe that sooner or later, I’ll be sitting on top. Mark my words… we’re just getting started here.
Katrina Showtime: Thank you for your time.
[::And with that, WWR Battleground takes its first commercial break of the evening.::]
[::WWR returns from commercial break and as everything comes into focus and we are taken to the outside of the Peterson Events Center. It is there where we can see the socially distant crowd waiting to get inside to see the latest edition of the show. However standing right by the line waiting to get in is none other than the Gem Stones. The punk band has their musical equipment with them. Ruby Steele smiles as she has her Bass Guitar around her neck aside her is her half-sister Sapphire Gemstone with her Electric Guitar ready to play lead. Behind them on a drum set is Emerald Gemstone who happens to just be a family friend. The British band smiles as they begin to smile at the roaring crowd.::]
Ruby: GOOD EVENING all of you Pittsburgh fanatics!!!! I just want to say that it feels absolutely amazing to be here tonight! Tonight my cousin is going to walk into the ring to compete in a huge Battle Royal!!! She has been at it from the very beginning but tonight she overcomes that roadblock. Tonight she showcases why this company is her battleground and it’s all going to be completely OUTRAGEOUSSSSS…
[::Sapphire just shrugs her shoulders as she looks at her sister. Sapphire really didn’t care for Diamond but she was ready to pump up the crowd none the less.::]
Sapphire: AND AS USUAL… Our fearless leader is late but no worries because tonight she will win… Or get thrown out in an completely embarrassing way…. Now that would be outr….
Ruby: Phoebe Wentworth we are supposed to put Diamond over… Now stop being a pessimist and turn that smile upside down because tonight we cheer Steele on in the STEELE CITY!!!!
[::Emerald eagerly bangs the drum as they seem to rock out. However the person they have been waiting for finally arrives as we can see Diamond smile with a guitar. She is wearing a wireless microphone with a wide grin on her face. However she seems to have a sandwich in her hand.::]
Ruby: LOOK IT’S DIAMOND… IT’S TIME FOR HER TO SHINE BRIGHTLY!!!
Sapphire: Where the hell were you?! We have a promo to do and…
Diamond Steele: Can I just WHAT’S UP PITTSBURGH PENNSLYVANIA!!!! I know it’s time for a promo but can I just say that I just went down the road to Primanti Bros and it’s so AMAZING!!! Who wouldn’t like a grilled steak patty, coleslaw, french fries, tomatoes and provolone?! I know those FILTHY Philadelphians believe their cheesesteaks are amazing but it’s nothing compared to what you have!!!
[::The crowd roars in excitement as they roar with YES chants.::]
YES!
YES!
YES!
Diamond Steele: My thoughts exactly now tonight is the special and completely over the top Diamond and the Gem Stones concert. I know the big boss loves his Bon Jovi so to honor our faithful boss we just want to play a song that represents what it’s going to feel like for me when I step in the ring.
Sapphire: Yes because seeing as she went to Primanti Bros without us she is WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE!!!
Diamond Steele: That’s not the song!
Sapphire: But if I put a bounty on your head and promise to pay whoever throws you out $2000 then…
Ruby: No!!! Let’s be nice… You see when my cousin steps into the ring she plans to fight with everything she has because…
[::She smiles at everyone as they begin to play a familiar tune. Diamond smiles as she paces around and begins to sing.::]
Diamond Steele: I NEED TO HOLD ON TO WHAT I GOT… YOU DAMN RIGHT IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE BECAUSE I PLAN TO WIN AND I WILL GET MY SHOT…. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I AM LIVING ON A PRAYER!!!!!!!!!!
[::Everyone SINGS ALONG.::]
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LIVIN ON A PRAYER!!!
Diamond Steele: You damn right I will live on a prayer because when I came to this company I came with the intention to win! I appreciate every single chance that has been thrown my way. It shows that this company views me as a big star and I am thankful but it’s about time I start making a name for myself on my own merit and go out there and win baby! They say love is a battlefield but damn it this is going to be my BATTLE GROUND. I know that besides Brittany I am the smallest woman in the ring but despite being so small I feel like I have the biggest heart and it’s going to lead me to winning! There’s ten women caught up in this thing…
[::Diamond smirks.::]
Diamond Steele: Hell you have a whole damn stable… You have that stable’s best friend in Stephanie, you have a pair of wives in Halo and Brittany. A team and Chesty Larue…
Ruby: AHEMM…. THAT’S FKA CHESTY LARUE!!!
Sapphire: The Chest!!!
Diamond Steele: I don’t give a damn about some porn star trying to play pretend wrestler. What I do know is that one of these is certainly not like the other. One of these women are me and it’s time to go on this long JOURNEY so DON’T STOP BELIEVING… It’s time to just flat out win. Through hell or high water I will win. I need to win because I refuse to be in misery. MISERY LOVES COMPANY but tonight I damn sure don’t like how that sounds, and I refuse to be left with nothing! I don’t want to go back to my hotel to nothing but MY GUITAR which LIES BLEEDING IN MY ARMS! I need this win and come Friday night it will be a DIAMOND RING… So bring it on ladies but it’s time to Live on that prayer and showcase why I am for real… Me not winning would be completely…
Ruby: OUTRAGEOUSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
[::The Gemstones all smile as they continue to play for the crowd outside the cameras shift to Stephanie Sullivan who smiles as she could be seen in her locker room. She has a wicked grin on her lips as she looks deeply into the lens of the camera.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: Good evening to all of you out there… Tonight is about opportunity! Tonight is about outlasting nine other women. Tonight is about endurance and most important it’s about showcasing why I am so much better than the other women in this match.
[::Stephanie nods her head as she seems very passionate. She runs her hands through her long brown hair as she continues to speak.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: I am going to be completely honest with you all. These past few months have felt like hell to me. No matter what I do it just never seems to be enough. Every single show I come out here and I pour my heart out for all of you but when it comes time to match time I just can’t seem to get over the hump. Something always seems to hold me back and in the end I always fall short.
[::Stephanie takes a long deep breath as she looks right at the camera.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: I won’t lie sometimes it can get heartbreaking… I feel like I can lose my cool because I am wondering and questioning when am I finally going to have that moment. When am I going to have that break through moment and no matter what I do it just never seems to come.
[::Stephanie finally starts to smile as she continues to passionate again.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: However with everything going through me I promise to not give up the faith because this week I am entering the ring with the intention to win. I know losing is not an option and I refuse to accept anything but a win. As a black sheep it’s always hard trying to figure out a place where I fit in. it always seems like I don’t fit into a crowd or I am the odd one out.
[::Stephanie shakes her head.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: I don’t want to be left out of anything though. I want to fit right in and I feel like when I was seconds away from claiming my glory of being next or being so close something always happens that stops me. However I can’t get so wrapped up in why things didn’t go so well. Instead I need to focus on what I need to do to push ahead. This match means everything to me! This opportunity would put me at the forefront of everything and I know deep in my heart I have all of the tools to get past what is holding me back!
[::Stephanie smiles as she continues to share her heart.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: Don’t get me wrong I know there is some very tough competition in this match. Each of these nine women are going to do everything in their power to make sure they have their moment but I am the most fired up for this very moment because I am one of the only one’s who has never been in the big dance or at least compete for one. I see so many women in this match and they been involved in so many championship opportunities. They have had chance after chance, but I haven’t had that moment! I haven’t been involved in a title match and I need to get what I have been working so hard to achieve.
[::Stephanie takes a deep breath and continues to speak.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: I know these other women will want it but I think it comes down who wants it the most and nobody has a drive or resolve as much as I do. So ladies I trust you will bring your very best. I know you will come at me with everything you got but it won’t matter. It won’t be enough because at the end of the day I will be the one to emerge with that title shot. Mark my words… I will fit in and I will make myself something or at least die in trying. Best of luck ladies… All of you certainly will need it!
[::With that Stephanie smiles. She seems very fired up as we go to elsewhere backstage, The Chest can be seen stewing in front of the Gorilla Position. She looks to the side, seeing a camera watching her. Looking over, The Chest sneers.::]
The Chest: What? Are you here to gloat? To rub it in The Chest’s face that she is stuck here in Groundhog Day, again trying to earn a shot at a Championship that should ALREADY BE HERS!?
[::She shakes her head.::]
The Chest: Oh no… this is just a conspiracy against the beautiful! The Chest understands… the petty mongrels want to cast us into the waste basket because it makes them feel better about themselves. Well boo-hoo! Get a personality that isn’t pulled from a list of archetypes and maybe people will care. No… TONIGHT The Chest reasserts herself! Tonight, after the taunts from the “ChAmPiOn”, The Chest earns her way BACK to the Battleground Championship, BACK to being able to add the final piece of the Championship Puzzle to the Beautification Movement! This is The Chest’s night! The rest of these dregs are going to be stepping on sacred ground and The Chest is going to make them regret it!
[::The Chest shakes her head as the scene shifts back to ringside with Monica Powers and Alexis Rose at ringside as they are watching the women entering the ring for tonight's big battle royale that will start in a matter of minutes.::]
Monica Powers: Okay Alexis it won’t be long until we have our Battle Royal that will determine who is the number on contender for the…
[::Before they could say what they wanted to say that is when they get an unexpected guest. Brittany Williams walks by their table with a “In Britt We Trust” t shirt. She chuckles as she looks at the two of them and begins to speak.::]
Brittany Williams: Long behold you have a very special guest and Alexis better not say anything because yours truly is here…Now you know it gets irritating to have to put up with both of your crap.
Monica Powers: Don’t you have a match to get ready for?!
Alexis Rose: Why are you so annoying?!
[::Brittany raises her eyes in return as she laughs.::]
Brittany Williams: Listen as the youngest woman on the roster I can say or do whatever I want. After all it will be looked upon as me just being immature. Besides you got a problem with me?!
Monica Powers: Yeah I have a problem… You are a spoiled brat who…
Brittany Williams: And you say that like I am supposed to be hurt. Now what I am sick and tired of is having to listen to you both every single show. You clearly don’t treat me with the right amount of respect… You act like I am not good or worth anything but let me explain something. I am an amazing talent. I am the future of this business and you should all respect it!
Alexis Rose: We would respect it more if you didn’t cheat so much!
[::Brittany laughs as she shakes her head.::]
Brittany Williams: But that’s part of the fun! You see I could sit here and actually WRESTLE like fucking DUH HELLO third generation super-STAR here. I could outwrestle anybody in this match… I could put on a technical masterpiece if I really wanted too. I am that great but instead the greatness about cheating is the fact that I know it annoys the shit out of the TWO of you and that just puts a smile on her face.
Monica Powers: Well let’s see how long you get to cheat with nine women trying to toss you out of the ring!
[::Brittany smirks in return.::]
Brittany Williams: Cute really cute… There are still many ways to cheat if I really wanted too… Perhaps I won’t even enter the ring… Perhaps I will hide on the ring and soon as somebody is announced the winner come back in and throw their ass out. Maybe fake an injury but I can be really innovative if I wanted too… This match is something that I could easily win did you see the dumb fucks who are in this match?!
Monica Powers: Considering that most of them are related to you?!
[::Brittany raises her eyes in return.::]
Brittany Williams: Like who my dumb wife who can’t even speak without a southern accent… If it meant slumming it up in some hillbilly town by all means she would win that complete in some ugly ass pick truck but Halo isn’t fitting of her name. She damn sure doesn’t look like an angel but she will fly like one when I throw her tall ass out the ring. Oh who else step mommy dearest?! Seleana can’t beat me in a match. She will go out the ring JA!!!!
Monica Powers: Are you making fun of your own family?!
Brittany Williams: Last time I checked I am not in SRT… I am not a SKID MARK… I know Diamond Caldwell tried to say something to me the other day but she can shut up too… Zenna, Jenni, I don’t give a fuck about any of them… Or Auntie Stephanie always wanna talk about her wham burgers and french cries because she hasn’t won a title… We get the point if you didn’t keep pressing the suck button you would have actually done something. Of course there’s the Chest but color me not impressed but at least she isn’t as irrelevant as Cappi and Nari Chang. The fact is this my match and I will control the Battle Ground division… Now if you would excuse me… I have to figure out new ways of cheating my way to a victory… IN BRITT WE TRUST!!!
[::With that Brittany pie faces both commentators as she storms away and enters into the ring as both commentators just shake their heads in disgust.::]
Arianna Grey: Ladies and gentlemen, the opening contest is a ten woman over the top rope Battle Royale, to be eliminated you must be thrown over the top rope with both feet touching the floor. The winner of this match will become the number one contender for the WWR Battleground Championship!
[::.The ten women had already entered the ring during the commercials and pre-taped segments that aired on the Tron for the live crowd as the talent made their way to the ring. This is a match loaded with talent, with so many people in it that could leave the show tonight as the new number one contender for the Battleground Championship, the referee speaks with the competitors prior to the bell reminding them all of the rules.::]
Monica Powers: We have a really big battle royale here to kick off New Year's Revolution 2 tonight. Who do you think will come out on top, Alexis?
Alexis Rose: Oh geez! Talk about putting me on the spot, Monica. There are plenty of people in this match that could walk away with the title shot. But Battle royales are often unpredictable, who knows how tonight's one will go. May the best woman win!
DING! DING! DING!
The bell rang, and the ring immediately turned into absolute chaos as the battle royal got under way. The match was all over the place, and it seemed like every woman, regardless of their allegiances, was in it for themselves in order to gain the right to challenge for the Battleground Title. Nari Chang and Cappadonna immediately attempted to eliminate both Seleana and Zenna Zdunich, but they are in for a surprise as their teamwork breaks down, causing them to be eliminated early.
Halo leaps from the top turnbuckle, catching The Chest with a surprise hurricanrana next to the ropes, but the buxom brunette hangs onto the top rope as she goes over, skinning the cat, so to speak, on the top rope before blasting Halo off the apron with a huge forearm. The Chest catches the Zdunich's by surprise with a massive double DDDDT in the ropes as they attempt to come back in off the apron, stunning both women and causing them to tumble out onto the floor. Diamond Steele eliminates Jenni Taylor after unloading a barrage of brutal kicks into her opponent before tossing her over the top rope. Taylor catches the top rope, struggling to find her footing again before taking a brutal snap kick to the side of the head from Steele, dislodging her and sending her to the floor in a heap.
Leaving only four women standing. The Chest, Diamond Steele, Stephanie Sullivan, and Brittany Williams. The Chest squares off with Brittany as Stephanie and Diamond lock up. Steele gains the upper hand, turning Sullivan around before dropping her face first to the mat. The submissions wrestler goes to work on her opponents legs, stomping at Stephanie's knees and ankles before applying a very deep seated Boston Crab. Diamond wrenches down on the hold, and there's nothing Stephanie can do but try to fight out of it thanks to the rules of the contest. She finally does get free, thanks to The Chest and Williams brawling getting too close, causing Steele to break the hold.
The woman formerly known as Chesty LaRue throws a stiff lariat, dropping Brittany to the mat, but she's up in a flash, responding with a superkick that drops the brunette bombshell to the mat. The only woman standing now is Diamond, who takes to the top rope. The Chest, Brittany, and Stephanie all get to their feet, dazed, as Steele launches herself, catching all three women with a crossbody that turns into a car crash as the four of them hit the mat. Diamond gets to her feet, grabbing the Chest by her hair to drag her upright, but the deceptive powerhouse blasts her with a European uppercut, sending her tumbling back against the ropes. Before she can capitalize, LaRue is brought down by a leaping DDT from the Brat! Impact DDT knocks The Chest senseless, causing her to roll out to the floor. Williams hits the ropes, coming back full speed at Steele, but Diamond ducks a shoulder at the last second before back body dropping Williams clear over the top rope and down to the floor.
With no time to celebrate her elimination, Steele is immediately grappled by Sullivan, who drives a series of knees into Diamond's midsection before setting her up for a big vertical suplex toward the center of the ring. She pulls Steele to her feet, looking to set up her Moonlight Sonata but Diamond gets free, hitting a series of strikes before turning to hit a Pele kick. Stephanie stumbles, straight into the arms of The Chest who immediately kicks her in the stomach before picking her up into powerbomb position. She attempts to eliminate her opponent by simply tossing her over the ropes, but Sullivan locks her legs, and now both women are caught in an almost comedic see saw back and forth in the top rope. Just when it seems like Stephanie is gaining the upper hand, Diamond comes in, hooking both thighs of the Chest and lifting her up and pushing her over the top rope, sending both women crashing to the floor in a heap for the final two eliminations of the match.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, ... Diamond Steele!
[::The referee raises Diamond Steele's hand as the crowd cheers in approval of her victory.::]
Alexis Rose: Hard fought win for Steele there!
Monica Powers: It's always hard to win a battle royale, she should be proud of herself.
Alexis Rose: I agree, and she'll be going for the Battleground Championship at the pay-per-view in two weeks time!
Monica Powers: Speaking of the Battleground Championship, let's go backstage and hear from the champion and challenger because that title match tonight is NEXT!
[::WWR Battleground heads backstage and opens up inside the locker-rooms. The lights are dimmed and candles dance in the darkness. There is a bed of rose petals set on a table near the candles, set in front of a promotional photograph of Daria Dorsey. Anya Lebeaux sits cross legged in front of the table, staring at the photograph with a smile upon her face.::]
Anya Lebeaux: Daria… sweet, sweet Daria… how long have you and I been dancing this dance now? It feels like it has been far too long. You get into my business and then duck out of my sight, instead pursuing the Battleground Championship instead of giving in to what you and I both know was destined to be.
[::Anya grins, licking her lips as she reaches down, pulling a thigh-high boot onto her left foot.::]
Anya Lebeaux: I have been longing for this ever since you came after me in my Chaos contender’s match. And ever since then I have been watching you. I have been paying careful attention as you would dance with others… The Chest… Mayumi… you have been getting around, haven’t you? But me, Daria… I have been saving myself for this night. For this MOMENT.
[::She reaches out, lifting up the picture.::]
Anya Lebeaux: Everything has been building to tonight… can’t you see that? This isn’t about the Queen’s Court, Jessica Jackson, The Chest… anyone. And yet what I get from you is generic. Cut-and-paste. You already believe this match is over. You believe that you’ve already defeated me… vanquished another challenger… that you stand on the path of greatness. Hehehe… you think I’m like the rest, but Dee…
[::A scowl forms on Anya’s face as she yells at the picture.::]
Anya Lebeaux: THERE IS NO ONE LIKE ME!
[::Tossing the picture aside, she grabs one of the candles, pressing her palm to the flame, extinguishing it.::]
Anya Lebeaux: Daria… maybe you’ll see this message, maybe you won’t pay attention for another WEEK. But I want you to know that I am going to take your body in ways that you have never… EVER experienced before. I am going to use you. I am going to abuse you. I am going to LEAVE YOU in the middle of the ring a broken, bloodied mess. But more… MUCH MORE… than that, I am going to leave you empty. Not just by taking the Battleground Championship from you. I am going to leave you with the realization that without it… What are you?
[::Anya takes another candle, setting it on top of the picture. She grins as hot wax drips down onto Daria’s face.::]
Anya Lebeaux: Another wreck used up and cast aside. I’ll see you out there, Dee. I’m going to enjoy what comes next.
[::The scene shifts to the WWR Battleground Champion, Daria Dorsey walking side by side with Jessica Jackson, as she was confidently strutting with the belt around her waist and a towel draped over her head, looking like a prize fighter. She would spray some water in her mouth, as the two are interrupted by Katrina Showtime, who wants an interview before the fight.::]
Katrina Showtime: Jessica...Daria...Can I have a word before your big Battleground title defense against Anya Lebeaux?
[::Daria smiled a bit, as she would unclasp the belt and placed it over her shoulder, while speaking to her.::]
Daria Dorsey: I'm glad you understand that this fight is big. In fact, it's bigger than most of the title fights going on tonight, because I am legitimizing this belt. The Battleground Champion isn't going to have any more temporary owners. No more spoiled brats like Brittany Williams. No more pitiful defenses. This title is staying with me and the Court for the rest of this company's days. Before you know it, all of us are going to be champions...
Katrina Showtime: Daria, you and Anya have been chomping at the bits to fight each other for a long time. Can you please tell us what's brought this on?
Daria Dorsey: Why?! Four months ago, Anya LeBeaux cost me my shot at the Chaos Championship by clinging onto my like the parasite she is. She dragged me down with her through a table, as Diamond Caldwell won, and squandered her shot against Charlotte. But all Anya did was deny the inevitable! Because as you see, I am the company's true champion, defending this title night in and night out. No woman on the roster has the raw endurance I have, and no one can match me in athleticism.
Jessica Jackson: Look at this woman...perfect in every way! Daria is the champion because she earned it! And she will prove it again and again until people get it through their thick skulls!
Daria Dorsey: And not only that, I am the wall of Iron that defends the Court from all of the jealous losers that wish they could be like us. I'm not some ultraviolent indie reject, like Anya LeBeaux. I am the best athlete on this roster hands down, I am the best fighter on this roster hands down. The fact that this edgelord thinks she can beat me, much less intimidate me, is completely absurd.
Jessica Jackson: And THIS match, I'll be at ringside to have your back and you can't talk me out of it!
[::Jessica says with a smirk.::]
Daria Dorsey: Of course. You deserve a ringside seat to watch me take out the trash. Let's go, we have business to take care of.
[::Daria said, as she and Jessica make their way out to the ring, anticipating this title defense as Battleground 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...
[::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: The challenger...From Lafayette, Louisiana. She is...Anya Lebeaux!
Alexis Rose: Anya says there is no one like her...and I'm inclined to agree!
Monica Powers: She's a bit crazy...that's for damn sure!
[::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 champion to arrive.::]
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 and Jessica Jackson back at her side as the two women confidently make their way to the ring...::]
Arianna Grey: Representing the Queen's Court, from Rochester, New York. Accompanied to the ring by Jessica Jackson, she is the WWR Battleground Champion...Daria Dorsey!
Monica Powers: Daria looking for another successful title defense tonight against a very ready challenger!
Alexis Rose: And Jessica is back at her side this week, that could easily play a factor into the finish of this title match!
[::Daria enters the ring through the middle rope and Jessica follows in behind her as the two 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 as Jessica makes her way to Daria's corner at ringside.::]
DING! DING! DING!
As soon as the bell sounds, both champion and challenger march towards the center of the ring and lock up. Daria has a little size advantage and starts backing Anya towards the corner, but the unrelenting Lebeaux ain’t having it. Anya pushes Daria backward and starts her down for a second. They lock up once more and once more Daria starts to use her size advantage to push Anya back but is stopped as Anya sharpy shoves her off. Anya tells Daria to come in for another lock up, then drives a knee into her midsection. Anya gets Daria in the double underhook and starts laying into the champion with knees before hitting a stiff forearm. Anya follows with a shoulder right to the midsection and a big Northern Lights Suplex that secures her the first near fall of the evening with a count of 2.
Anya starts choking Daria off the kick-out, wrapping her hands around the throat of the challenger. Anya is quickly told to release but takes all the time she has, slamming Daria’s head down into the mat when she finally breaks at four. Anya pulls Daria up by her hair and starts laying in a series of forearms and punches to the champion, really being vicious in the early going. Anya sets up for a Russian leg sweep, but Daria hits a few elbows to the side of the head, spins Anya, and hits a stun gun, bouncing her opponent off the top rope. With Anya staggered, Daria hits a hangman’s neckbreaker and looks to end it. She covers, but it’s only enough for a 2 count.
Daria is a bit annoyed at the count, but with Anya down, she decides to slow the match a bit and work to wear her challenger down. Daria takes the leg and delivers a few hard kicks to the thigh and knee before pulling Anya up and then putting her right back down with a shin breaker. Daria looks for a single leg crab, but Anya scurries over to the ropes, gets up, and then pops the challenger in the mouth with a right hand. Anya delivers a few chops that back Daria into the corner, then goes to whip her off, but swings her back around, grabs her by the hair, and pulls her down into a rope-assisted eye rake. Anya now hits the Russian leg sweep and gets another 2 count.
Now it’s her turn to be annoyed at the count, feigning a smack towards the ref before pulling Daria up to her feet. Anya whips Daria across the ring and follows in with a clothesline to the champion. Anya starts laying into Daria with hard stiff punches in the corner, the ref yelling at her to get Daria out of there. Anya hits an especially stiff shot to the midsection and Daria stumbles out. Anya hooks Daria and brings her up for a high angle vertical suplex, but Daria somehow manages to slide off and hits a backslide for a 2 count. Anya rolls through, hits the ropes, and delivers a sliding big boot to take Daria right back down.
Anya feels in full control now and starts stalking Daria a bit, circling her as she allows the champion to slowly get to her feet. Anya circles behind Daria pulls her in and grabs her for The Lamb's Sacrifice. Daria has it scouted though, ducks under shoves Anya forward into the ropes, and hits the Truckstop as Anya returns. Daria points to the sky, the makes the cover. ONE…TWO…THR - KICK OUT!
Anya just manages to kick out after the colossal spinning side slam takes her down. Daria takes a few seconds to recover and get her breath after the flurry of offense from the challenger. Daria connects with a springboard uppercut as soon as Anya gets back up, surprising the challenger with the quick move. Daria soon slowed things back down again looking to the leg. Daria delivers a few kicks to the thigh and knee, then used her knee to hammerlock Anya’s leg. Daria jumped up and drove her weight down onto the leg of her challenger. Daria followed with a few kicks to the back before attempting Daria’s Inferno. Anya had it scouted though and turned into the move, catching Daria with a sort of enziguri from her back. Anya pops up, grabs Daria by the hair, and again uses the ropes to rake the eyes of the champion. Anya shoves Daria off, delivers a spinning kick to the midsection, then shows off impressive power, bringing The Iron Dame up for Nightmarish Hellscape. Anya powers Daria down and hooks her feet over the shoulders. ONE…TWO...THRE - KICK OUT!
Anya looks at the ref in complete shock. She shoves Daria away, gets up, and starts yelling at the ref that it had to be three. Daria starts getting to her feet and Anya quickly turns her attention back to the challenger and runs in with a sliding knee to the midsection. Anya then wraps an arm around Daria’s throat as she grabs her leg with the other applying a fairly innovative guillotine choke/kneeling bow and arrow submission. Daria does manage to stretch her other leg onto the ropes and Anya was forced to break the hold, though she held until the count of four. Anya rolls Daria off and looks ready to end things once again, setting up for The Lamb's Sacrifice. Daria slowly gets to her feet and Anya slides in front of her, leaping up for The Trojan Horse. Daria somehow blocks it, shoves Anya forward into the ropes, then follows with a bicycle knee. Daria catches Anya as the momentum of the strike spins her around allowing Daria to drive her into the mat with a bridging back suplex. ONE…TWO…THRE - KICK OUT!
Daria turns to the ref with a murderous look, shakes her head, and turns back to Anya. Daria takes a few seconds to catch her breath, then pulls Anya up and levels her with a shin breaker, followed by a dragon screw leg whip. Daria keeps control of the ankle, brings Anya up for another shinbreaker, followed by a belly to back suplex. Anya rolls to the ropes, but Daria is there with a stiff chop. Daria fires Anya off towards the ropes and then drills her into the mat with a snap powerslam. Daria covers, but Anya manages a kick out just after the 2 count. Daria shakes it off gets to her feet and gets set for Daria’s Inferno. She delivers a stomp down at Anya’s face before bringing it back, but that seems to wake Anya up as she pushes Daria back and moves to the ropes.
Anya quickly pulls herself up with the help of the ropes, then dodges a clothesline attempt from Daria, allowing her to connect with a Russian leg sweep. Anya pulls Daria up and again takes her to the ropes to rake the eyes, but Daria connects with an elbow to the midsection and turns the tables on Anya. After Daria rakes Anya’s face across the ropes, she fires off a few stiff chops into her chest then sends her flying across the ring. As Anya comes back. Daria powers her up for the double leg spinebuster but suddenly slumps down as Anya lands on top of Daria after repeatedly driving her elbow into the crown of Daria’s skull. Anya slowly stands up on wobbly legs, looking a bit rocked. She starts pulling Daria up, both sort of using each other to slowly get to their feet. Both stand, Daria goes for a forearm and instead gets caught with The Trojan Horse as Anya stood up perfectly and connected with the dangerous cutter completely by surprise. Anya rolls Daria over and makes the cover, ONE…TWO…THREE - NO! FOOT ON THE ROPES!
The ref didn’t see Jessica Jackson put Daria’s foot on the rope, but he does notice it there, telling Anya the match will continue. Anya is furious yelling at the ref that he counted the damn three. Yelling that Daria’s bitch put her feet on the ropes. Anya is screaming and walking the ref back towards the corner. Daria slowly gets to her feet and allows Anya to get madder and madder, screaming at the ref, focusing on her anger so she doesn’t notice Daria run up behind her with a vicious forearm strike to the back of the neck. Daria follows that with the Caliburn Driver, spiking Anya down as she leaps up for added force. Both women bounce off the mat and the momentum sends Anya rolling to the outside before Daria can cover. Daria looks up at the ref and yells at him to start the count. ONE…TWO…THREE…FOUR…FIVE…
Anya starts to slowly stir, turning up to get on her hands and knees. SIX…SEVEN…
Anya keeps crawling towards the ropes, grabbing the apron as the ref reaches. EIGHT…NINE…
Anya just pulls herself back inside to beat the count. Daria is furious, screaming at the ref that he should have started his count as soon as she was outside. Jessica Jackson is screaming, yelling at the ref to do better. She jumps up onto the apron, tossing a pair of brass knuckles into the ring. Daria looks at them for a few seconds but surprisingly decides not to use them. Daria brings Anya up and delivers a hard chop to her chest. Anya fires back with one of her own as Jessica jumps down off the apron, snagging the brass knuckles that Daria had kicked back her way. Champion and Challenger start trading shots, going from chops to forearms, blistering each other with stiff strikes, neither woman back down. Daria blocks a forearm and wrenches the arm, then delivers a big hook kick. Daria hits the ropes and charges with a bicycle knee, but Anya sidesteps that, hits a big German suplex, then rolls through and locks on The Lamb's Sacrifice, right in the middle of the ring. Anya has the submission applied tight after the brutal suplex. The Champion squirms and pushes to block the hold, fighting back, but once Anya has it sunk in, she starts to fade. Daria pushes up on her heels to try to go into a pin, but Anya’s shoulders are up too high. Daria pushes up and rolls through into a pin, even though it locks the submission in tighter. ONE…TWO…THRE - DING DING DING!
[::Anya releases the submission right as Daria falls. Anya looks at the official as Jessica pulls Daria out of the ring and starts checking on her. Anya raises her hand while Jessica raises Daria’s hand.::]
Arianna Grey: Ladies and gentlemen, the fifteen minute time limit has expired. Which means this match ends in a draw. As a result of a draw...Daria Dorsey remains the WWR Battleground Champion!
[::Jessica quickly snatches the title from the timekeeper and places it on Daria’s shoulder and raises her hand as she calls her the greatest Battleground Champion ever, saying nobody can beat The Iron Dame of The Queen’s Court. Jessica hugs Daria and then helps her “friend” up the ramp as Anya seethes inside the ring, looking like she’s going to murder the official.
::]
Monica Powers: I think things between these two are far from over...
Alexis Rose: And with the time limit draw, Anya can still claim to be the number one contender for the title!
Monica Powers: Which certainly makes the upcoming pay-per-view VERY interesting!
Alexis Rose: Very true! I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. We'll be right back with more WWR Battleground right after this quick commercial break!
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break as we go to the back inside the lavish locker room of THE Beautification Movement. The Chest is conspicuous by her absence, but likely showering after her earlier match. Meanwhile, Grace Moretti sets her girls around, as she rubbed her temples in frustration while talking to them.
Grace Moretti: There is no way we should be losing to those cowgirl cosplayers not once, but twice.
[::She said as Grace glared at Cayla, and Milana directly.::}
Grace Moretti: You let Jane pin you. And you let Sadie force you to submit! You let them win tonight, our titles are gone, and that is not an option. So, here's the plan...
[::Juliana sat back in her chair sipping her champagne as Grace went on her little rant. She slightly rolled her eyes when Grace mentioned a plan.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Not spraying a member of them in the eyes with perfume would be a great plan.
[::The words tumbled out of Juliana’s mouth, and her eyes went wide as she looked over at Grace, realizing she had said that fairly loudly. Grace stopped, as she heard Juliana mention the miscommunication from last show's match.::]
Grace Moretti: And if Milana didn't forget her cue, she wouldn't have been hit with it.
[::Grace said, placing her hands on her shapely hips, as she addressed her.::]
Grace Moretti: Is there a problem, Juliana?
Juliana Mendoza: Other than Cayla and I dealing with the fallout and taking Milana to the damn hospital to make sure she didn’t go blind while you focused more on another business deal? Nope, no problem at all Grace.
[::Juliana sat there and took another sip of her champagne as the tension built.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Just waiting time hear this grand plan for tonight.
[::Grace pursed her lips, as she could see the sarcasm oozing off of Juliana's tone, and decided to make an example out of her.::]
Grace Moretti: Well, then. If you have some time to say, then say it, Juliana. Just remember, I am the one that brought you here, and given you the success that you're enjoying right now...
[::Grace said, though, she had an idea building.::]
Grace Moretti: Though, perhaps I don't put in enough faith in you to do your jobs as is. Juliana, why don't you pitch a plan of attack?
[::Juliana sat her glass down, stood up, and turned away from Grace as she looked at Cayla and Milana.::]
Juliana Mendoza: The plan is quite simple ladies. Tonight we go out there and show daddies little girl and the cow sluts, that we are THE best damn trio this company has ever or will ever see. There is a reason we are the first, last, and forever WWR Six-Woman Tag Team Champions. We are THE Beautification Movement. We are THE most talented, THE most beautiful, and THE BEST!
[::Juliana turns back to Grace, then takes a step back to stand between Cayla and Milana.::]
Juliana Mendoza: And tonight, we will beat those bitches on our own. No tricks, no schemes, just our incredible talent, and teamwork.
Cayla Phoenix: Yeah! We're totes going to beat them because we're the most experienced team, and we're not brownbaggers!
[::She said confidently, with Cayla and Milana starting to make their way out of the room, as Grace stopped Juliana on her way out, and reminded her.::]
Grace Moretti: Just remember, Juliana. I have faith in you, but, I don't tolerate failure. Just ask Josie that. Now go out there and show me why you're the best out there.
[::Juliana looked at Grace and smirked slightly.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Don't worry about that, Miss Moretti. I will not repeat her mistakes.
[::Juliana looked back at the chairs and shook her head.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Of course Cayla left her belt again.
[::She laughed slightly, grabbed the title, and turned back towards Grace.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Just make sure that a proper celebration is set up when we return with these belts.
Grace Moretti: Oh believe me. When you win, I'll already have the chardonnay on ice. But let me say, that I see a little more in you than your cohorts. Yes, Cayla and Milana are both loyal, but unhinged at the same time... you, Juliana, are the one that has the real future.
[::She said, confiding to her protégé, and holding her shoulders while talking to her.::]
Grace Moretti: You've got a good head on your shoulders. Show them how it's done.
[::Juliana looked at Grace and simply nodded as she raised her title on to her right shoulder and Cayla's on to her left.::]
Juliana Mendoza: I'll show them exactly what THE Beautification Movement is all about.
[::Juliana winks and blows a kiss towards her mentor before heading out of the locker room, leaving Grace behind. As the cameras shift backstage we see Sadie playing her old acoustic guitar with Layla Sheridan backstage, as the two had been bonding a bit over the past few days to build up some chemistry for the upcoming trios tag match.::]
Sadie Cassidy: Oh wow, that really is a tricky riff, you're really good at that!
[::She said, as she tried to catch up with her and chuckling while they played. Layla kinda smirks a bit as she responds.::]
Layla Sheridan: I've been doing my music for a lot longer than I've been wrestling. I certainly know my way around a guitar. It's a nice thing to do before going out to the ring, calms me down...centers me...
[::Layla sighs slightly.::]
Layla Sheridan: I don't want to be the reason you all lose out there tonight. You all picked me for this...I don't want to let either of you down.
Sadie Cassidy: Shug, don't worry about it. If we lose, we lose as a team. All that matters is those arrogant Kayleighs get knocked off their pedestal and if we're lucky, we take their titles as well.
[::She said with a bit of a smile, as Jane entered the scene to see them both getting along.::]
Jane Adler: You did really well in your first fight, and have a big future ahead of you, Layla. We've got them on the ropes, and tonight, we're taking their trios titles.
[::Layla nods and smiles in agreement.::]
Layla Sheridan: No doubt! Tonight we leave the arena with some gold around our waists!
Jane Adler: Thatta girl, now, let's go out there and kick some ass!
Sadie Cassidy: Yeah! Just imagine you winning this belt on your second night. It'll solidify you're born for this business, Lay!
[::Layla furrows her brow a hint before responding...::]
Layla Sheridan: Please don't call me...Lay.
Sadie Cassidy: Sorry, shug.
Jane Adler: Pretty sure she isn't a fan of that either, Sadie. But, either way, let's get down to business!
[::She said with a smile, getting the two up and ready to fight. Layla doesn't take any offense to any of it. She just doesn't particularly like the nickname she's heard from people all her life. She wraps her arms around her two new friends as the trio head toward the ring for their match which is minutes away as the show returns back to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a six woman tag team match scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit, and it is for the WWR Six Woman Tag Team titles, introducing first...
[::"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 getting a surprise title shot her second match in the company 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 challengers, the team of Layla Sheridan and the team of Sadie Cassidy and Jane Adler...Regulators Inc!
Monica Powers: It certainly seems like Regulators Inc. have had the number of the Beautification Movement as of late.
Alexis Rose: I agree, I think the wild card is Layla though. She's still new and her inexperience could play a big factor in tonight's title match!
[::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 big title match.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponents...
[::The lights slowly dim and turn pink as “Sour Candy by Lady Gaga and BlackPink” begins to play. With every scream, a flashbulb goes off. As the first verse begins, a gold spotlight shines down on the center of the stage and a platform begins to rise up with Juliana Mendoza and Cayla Phoenix posing back to back, and Milana Radek in the middle taking a knee, 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: Love them or hate them, they know how to make an entrance!
Monica Powers: And if we're lucky it's the last time they make an entrance with those titles around their waists. Their egos need to be knocked down a peg or two and I would just love to see Grace blow a gasket over 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. The referee heads over to the champions corner to collect the championships before heading back to the opposite corner to show them to the challengers before showing them to the crowd before calling for the bell to get this title match underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
As the match opened up, Sadie would start for her team, as Milana gets out to try and get revenge for the loss she had taken the previous fight. She squared up to Sadie, and strikes her, making sure to keep her out of a grappling distance. Milana used her tenacity to corner Sadie, as she hits her with repeated blows to the midsection as she tried to block her face. Milana would then transition into a judo style arm drag and grounds her with an abdominal stretch, which Milana illicited a moan whilst causing pain to Sadie.
As Sadie was in pain, Milana would nip her bottom lip, enjoying herself. She begins to fight up to her feet, as Sadie elbowed her in the midsection, breaking her hold. She finished off, getting behind Milana and propelling her back with a back suplex. She would go for a tag to get Layla Sheridan in, who clipped Milana with a running boot as she tried to get up. Layla gets Milana in a front headlock, and goes for a vertical suplex, but is shoved away. She goes for a high solarplexus kick, but, Layla caught her foot and takes her down with a dragon screw. She drags her to Jane and tagged her in. Layla hits the Snowstorm on Milana, as Jane followed up with a Bret's Rope elbow drop, and goes for a cover. 1.. 2.. no! Milana kicked out.
Jane gets Milana up looking to set her up with an inverted atomic drop, though, Milana pushed her back. Jane goes for a superkick, and Milana catches her foot. She tossed her leg, as Jane tries a dragon whip, though Milana ducked the move. As Jane gets up, Milana grabbed her hair and brings her down into a backbreaker, before moving in to tag in Cayla Phoenix. Milana would set up Jane but pulling her into a drop toe hold facebuster, as Cayla climbs to the top rope. With Jane getting to her feet, Cayla leaps off and planted Jane with the Comet Drop, and goes for a pin. 1.. 2.. no! She kicked out, as Cayla would tag in Juliana.
Cayla would get Jane on her shoulders, as Juliana runs to the opposite ropes, as they hit the taller Regulator with a Samoan Drop and Jumping Neckbreaker combo, while Juliana gloats to the crowd, causing them to boo loudly. When Jane starts to get up, Juliana springboards off the ropes and clipped her in the side of the head, going for a pin. 1.. 2.. No! Jane kicked out, as she was taking a beating. Juliana screamed at her to stay down, before spiking her head back down to the mat. Juliana sets up the Hair Flip 450 splash, but, Jane rolled away. She lunged in to tag Layla, as she rushed in with a flying forearm. She connected as, Juliana stumbled into the corner. Layla rushed in for a boot and connected, before whipping her to her team's corner and tagging in Jane.
Jane sets up a brain buster, as Layla readied for a frog splash. Meanwhile, Milana sneaked out to pull Sadie down and forced her to collide with the apron, which distracted Layla. Juliana would shift her weight to avoid the move, as she lands on her feet. She shoved Jane into Layla, knocking her down as she fell on Sadie, taking them both out. The referee would go over to notice the accident taking place, as Cayla would run in to help set up the Facial Reconstruction. She and Juliana hit Jane with the wheelbarrow facebuster and codebreaker combination, as Cayla gets out of the ring while the ref turns around to count Juliana pinning her. 1.. 2.. 3!
Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, and STILL WWR Six Woman Tag Team Champions... THE Beautification Movement!
[::The crowd boos loudly as The Beautification Movement retains their tag titles as the champs roll out of the ring and celebrate with their championships as Layla and Sadie check on Jane.::]
Alexis Rose: Juliana picks up the win for her team yet again...
Monica Powers: They ARE the champs for a reason!
Alexis Rose: Not arguing...
Monica Powers: A good effort from the challengers, nothing to be ashamed of.
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 opens up inside of an empty arena establishing the face what we are looking at is PRE RECORDED. The Queen of the Cage structure is already set up. Sitting down on the floor leaning against the cage structure in black sweatpants, black hoodie is the champion Diamond Caldwell. The QOTC championship is resting on her lap. She stares up at the lights.::]
Diamond Caldwell: Mayumi... clearly you don’t know me. Before you step inside this structure, take a moment to listen to what I am about to say. Am I bigger than you? Yes. Am I stronger than you? Duh. Do I have the experience edge inside this cage... by one match. Still counts. If I was The Diamond who stepped foot inside this cage seven months ago, you bet your bottom dollar I would have underestimated you to death. I would have sung all about my physical and experience advantages until I was blue in the face. Tell you that you got no chance in hell. The one lesson that was drilled into my skull over the course of these seven months. I don’t deserve to overlook anyone.
[::Diamond now shifts her attention, looking straight into the camera.::]
Diamond Caldwell: I am not going to overlook a proven winner. Three times you have qualified to challenge for the Battleground Championship. I did it once. You climbed that mountain three times. Not an easy feat knowing we compete in a company with the hungriest women on God’s green earth. You beat Eve O'Donnell, a woman I tried to beat on two occasions and failed. A competitor full of bravado, someone poised to dominate this company if she kept her head in the game. That is the woman you overcame. If you can overcome that mountain, why can’t you beat me? You won a ladder match to become Battleground Champion for reign number two, a ladder match is no joke. If you can overcome that hurdle, why can’t you beat me? You can... but you won’t. And here’s why.
[::Diamond takes a deep breath. The intensity in her eyes grows.::]
Diamond Caldwell: I am not trying to sound entitled Mayumi. Might come across that way. For the past couple of years of my career I have run into setback, after setback, after fucking setback. Long before Sarah Richardson and Simply Glam made themselves a nuance; I was dat girl with all the physical gifts. Dat girl with the attitude that reminds the world of Crystal. I was dat girl who couldn’t catch a break no matter how hard I tried. I deserve a break, damn it! And at Steel City Showdown, I beat the determined, unstoppable Envy. I did that. Just when things were supposed to look up, I lost to Queen’s Court. Lost to Simply Glam. Two weeks ago putting Sarah Richardson to sleep felt great, all I could think about were the previous two matches. Taking L’s. Coming out on the losing end. Being reminded that I wasn’t doing my job as a champion. Many fans on Twitter point out I wasn’t pinned. Hell, I haven’t been pinned believe it or not in seven months. Imagine that.
[::Diamond winks.::]
Diamond Caldwell: I am one of the few women in WWR who hasn’t been pinned or made to submit or knocked out. Victoria took a loss before me. Charlotte, as dominant as she is, got pinned twice back to back shows. Envy after winning the Queen of the Cage was unstoppable, obviously I beat her one-on-one. Our former World Champion Susan has been pinned multiple times. Trying not to brag but I can hang my hat on that streak. But despite the streak, what stands out to me, most of my run, from the nonsense with Simply Glam. The multiple opportunities prior to finally becoming a champion, to not starting off my reign on the correct note, all of this reminds me is I am not where I want to be. I should be dominating. I should be a force of nature.
I should not have the world smack me in the face time and time again. I should be the one doing the smacking. And for that reason Mayumi, you better bring the fight. You better pray too. Me tapping Sarah out two weeks ago was designed to be the catalyst for me to become the most dominant force in WWR. I can’t think of a better way to continue that momentum than by beating a woman who I know will give me the fight of the lifetime.
[::Diamond holds on to the Queen of the Cage Championship. She pulls herself up. She holds the title so the camera can get a good glimpse at it.::]
Diamond Caldwell: May... when the people ask you who’s dat girl who whooped yo’ ass, let’em know, Diamond was dat girl.
[::Diamond blows a kiss into the camera as the scene fades to black. The screen suddenly lights up and we see an almost empty Petersen Events Center. The only people inside are the crew preparing the ring for the night. Things suddenly shift to a view of the ramp over the shoulder of a small blonde-haired woman walking down the ramp. The camera turns and we see it’s Mayumi Tanahashi heading down the ramp. She gets to the crew, waves, and smiles at them.::]
Mayumi Tanahashi: Kon'nichiwa. I do not mean to disturb you, but I was wondering if you could tell me where the cage is kept for the Goddess Of The Cage match?
[::A crew member nods and hops out of the ring.::]
Crew: Uh yea, we have the pieces in a big crate.
Mayumi Tanahashi: Could I see them?
Crew: What?
Mayumi Tanahashi: Well I have never had a cage match and tonight I am not just in the cage, bit fighting for the title. I wanted to see the cage, get a feel for it.
Crew: Uhm, I guess so.
[::He shrugs and scratches his head, then leads her to the large crate, unlatches it, and pushes the lid up, showing her the pieces of the cage laying sideways. Mayumi reaches out and runs her hand over the chain-link style cage, feeling the cold steel against her skin she slightly shudders and pulls back.::]
Mayumi Tanahashi: That’s not going to feel good if I get tossed into it.
Crew: I would think not. Uh, will you please close and latch that back when you’re done? I really need to get back to work.
Mayumi Tanahashi: Oh of course. Arigatōgozaimashita.
[::She respectfully bows before he heads off. She reaches back for the cage, touching what will be the top sections of the steel structure. She turns and looks at the camera.::]
Mayumi Tanahashi: I do not know exactly when fans will see this, but I know that they can see the nervousness in my eyes. Even in its current state, that steel is quite intimidating. It’s cold, it’s hard, it’s dangerous. It’s made even more intimidating when I think about who will be sharing that steel structure with me. Diamond Caldwell is bigger, stronger, and more aggressive than I am. Add in that she beat one of the most dominant champions in WWR history to claim that title. I have no doubt that she will look to not only match but eclipse the reign of her predecessor.
[::Mayumi takes a breath and looks back at the cage for a few seconds, then turns and nods.::]
Mayumi Tanahashi: As intimidating as that cage is, it also fills me with hope. When I look at that steel I do consider the pain it can cause me, the way it could tear into my flesh, the way it could break me down, but I also see the place I can begin anew. I see the place I can show everyone that I am not just the fun high flying little girl from Japan. Tonight, The Goddess of The Cage match can be my new Beginning. Diamond Caldwell may very well be the toughest test I have had in WWR, but as she herself said, she chose me for this match because I am a fighter. I am worthy. I will rise up to this challenge like I have every single time I have been presented with a new challenge. This type of match may not be designed for a flyer like me, but fly I will. I hope that tonight, and for many nights to come, you will all come and Fly With MEEEEE!
[::She smiles and poses, raising her hand, stretching out two fingers, before bringing them up to her forehead in a sort of salute before swinging her arm forward as we fade out on the image of her turning to close the crate that houses the cage as WWR Battleground returns to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is for the WWR Goddess of the Cage Championship! To win this match you must either knock out your opponent, force them to submit, or through referee stoppage. 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: Here comes the three time Battleground Champion looking to add more gold to her resume tonight!
Monica Powers: But she's entering an unfamiliar environment, Alexis. She's never been in a cage structure like this before...that might factor in!
[::Mayumi runs and slides into the ring through the cage door, 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 cage structure 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 the champion.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::The chorus to “I Am Fire by Halestorm" is the first thing the audience hears. Bursting through the curtain is Diamond where a white tracksuit with red trim. She stands for a moment soaking in the reaction the crowd is giving her. She dusts imaginary dirt off one shoulder, her Goddess of the Cage Championship resting on the other as she makes her way toward the cage...::]
Arianna Grey: From Compton, California. She is the WWR Goddess of the Cage Champion...Diamond Caldwell!
Monica Powers: The Goddess of the Cage is in the house!
Alexis Rose: Caldwell has yet to be pinned or submitted here in WWR, but she COULD tap out for the first time ever here tonight!
[::Skipping down to the cage she reaches the door and slides into the ring. She crawls to the center of the ring, rolls over on her back and knips up. She rips off the tracksuit to reveal black tights with a matching top. Spinning around for the camera we see “Megastar” in silver lettering on the back of her tights. Backing up to the corner the ref checks to see if she is hiding any illegal objects as her music fades out and the referee takes the championship, showing it to both women before showing it to the crowd as they call for the bell to get this title match underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
Mayumi Tanahashi and Diamond Caldwell are both standing in the cage. Caldwell flicks her hair as she immediately gets in Mayumi’s face and begins to talk trash. The Japanese beauty shrugs it off as she refuses to be intimidated. She doesn’t waste any time as she quickly goes for a dropkick to send Diamond backwards for a few feet. Caldwell seems to be upset as she runs back at Tanahashi and nails her with a powerful clothesline that causes the girl to flip heads over heels. She lands on the floor and Diamond doesn’t waste any time yanking Mayumi off of the ground. She lifts her upwards going for a suplex but Mayumi is able to flip over Caldwell and lands on the opposite side of her. She screams for Diamond to turn around and as soon as the woman from Compton does so she is met with an enziguri that catches her right in the head. Caldwell staggers back for a few feet and that is when Mayumi goes on the assault and takes Caldwell down with a quick arm drag.
Caldwell hits the mat with a thud and frustratingly she tries to make it back up to her feet. As soon as she rises back up Mayumi jumps up and locks her feet around the neck of Caldwell twisting her about before swinging her to the side with a headscissors. Diamond is about to hit the cage but she quickly turns around and walks right into a hurricanrana. Mayumi jumps up and seems excited from the roar of the crowd. She is begging for Diamond to get to her feet. Diamond staggers but finally makes it to her feet. Mayumi quickly sprints towards Diamond and tries to go for her It’s Just Magic shining wizard. Caldwell however is that much quicker as she side steps out of the way causing Mayumi to fall on her butt. Mayumi makes it back to her feet and that is when Diamond knocks her down with a jumping hip attack. Tanahashi is sent to the floor. Caldwell yanks her off of the ground.
She doesn’t waste any time delivering some high knee strikes right into Mayumi’s gut. The Japanese star screams with each strike. She holds at her stomach in pain and that is when Diamond grabs a hold of Mayumi’s head and plants her into the mat with a face buster. Diamond stands up clapping her hands together as the referee drops down to check on her. Mayumi however struggles to her feet as she motions for Diamond to keep fighting her.
Diamond isn’t going to resist as she walks towards Mayumi who decides to sprint towards Caldwell. Diamond quickly lifts Mayumi high into the air and delivers a very wicked power bomb that can be heard all throughout the arena. Mayumi is lying on the ground motionless. The referee checks her over and is about to call for the bell but Mayumi quickly shakes her head as she rises back to her feet again. She breathes heavily as she clutches at Caldwell’s legs and brings herself back up to a vertical base. Diamond looks at her patting her on her back as a sign of respect before she quickly steps behind her and locks her in a very tight rear naked choke. Diamond throws herself onto her back as she has the choke locked in tightly. Mayumi however refuses to tap out as the referee just looks on intently. Mayumi’s face begins to turn that of blue as she passes out to the hold. Once the referee sees that Mayumi isn’t responsive anymore they quickly call for the bell.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and STILL WWR Goddess of the Cage... Diamond Caldwell!
[::Diamond breaks the hold and is handed the Goddess of the Cage Championship. The referee checks on Mayumi and Diamond doesn’t waste any time shaking her head in approval and out of respect. She has a smile on her face as she raises her championship high into the air as the referee helps Mayumi who slowly gets up. The audience clap for her as she showed great endurance throughout the match and earned their respect.::]
Alexis Rose: A great show of sportsmanship between the champion and the challenger, you love to see it!
Monica Powers: That was a hell of a war and for Mayumi's first time in the cage she did REALLY good! I'd love to see a rematch!
Alexis Rose: Maybe in due time Monica...you never know!
Monica Powers: We've got to take a quick commercial break but we'll be back with more WWR Battleground right after this!
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial and opens up backstage in the Queen’s Court locker room. Charlotte Haliday is sitting on a black steel folding chair. Jessica is standing right beside her. The former Chaos Champion runs her hands through her hair as she glares straight into the camera.::]
Charlotte Haliday: I was wrong...
[::Charlotte takes a deep breath, prepping herself for what she has to say.::]
Charlotte Haliday: I tried to be different. I wanted to be the woman who stood alone. Being a rebel is cool. Heh, when have I ever cared about being cool. Never actually. But I was still wrong, though. As much as I love Lass, I stood in the back watching THE Beautification Movement put her one the shelf. I should have been there. Lass doesn’t blame me. She wanted me to conserve my strength in the Elimination Chamber that night. Doesn’t change the fact I should have been there. Pride goeth before destruction and all that jazz. Over a month ago in the main event I walked down to the ring, alone. I stood up to you Keira all by myself. Beat you too. Just as I was about to finish the job, your wife ran down to the ring to save her. In that moment I finally accepted I couldn’t do this anymore. Standing alone in a company that wants to clique up makes no sense. No matter how I want the world to be, there will always be someone lurking backstage. Always looking to insert themselves. Always looking to get involved. How can anyone stand alone against that? Instead of continuing to be the cool kid on the block, Keira; you made me do this. In war you adapt. So I did... by joining The Queen’s Court.
[::Charlotte looks up at Jessica and nods. With a smirk on her face Charlotte presses on.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Come on; is it too far fetched? I am the most dominant Chaos Champion in history. Hello Hardcore Tiger. The only reason you are champion by the way is because I had other plans, I handed you the contendership. If I wanted to I could take that championship back without breaking a sweat. Remember that. Anyway, as I was saying. I am one of the most dominant champions in history. Susan and Dominique, world class World Champions. Daria has made huge strides. Jessica Jackson is the real star of the Jackson family. Together we are composed of the elite of the elite. Why wouldn’t I want to associate with greatness? Instead of resisting The Court. Instead of filling myself with fantasies of taking them down, like most of you do, standing with the most dominant family in professional wrestling was the most logical step.
Team Hero, you have no one else to blame but yourselves for opening my eyes. Aren’t you tired of being my bitch, Keira? Has it not sunk in yet I am better? Eliza. If I get anything out tonight; l will finally be getting my receipt. You are as much to blame for this as Team Hero. You humiliated me! Then you somehow lost to Keira inside the chamber to hand her a title shot that should have been mine in the first place. The only promise Eliza, I am going to someday get my win back. As for you Bobbi. Heh. You are the biggest cancer in professional wrestling. All these women you inspired to take up arms against The Queen’s Court. We’re not bad. All we want is to be successful ten times over. You believe we need to be stopped. And for what? To have Eliza and Dominique on opposite sides? You and your sister continuously fighting? Family against family is not cool, Bobbi. Some fucking hero you are. I used to blame you and The Court for this constant warring. In reality this is all on you. Us in The Court, we represent what professional wrestling is supposed to be. You and your friends and allies represent an era that should have died a long time ago. Survival of the fittest. Only the strong survive. The Court will stand tall, heh, what else is new? Right Jess?
[::Jessica smirks and gives an approving nod.::]
Jessica Jackson: At the end of the day, sides must be taken. Simply Glamorous was wise to stand with us tonight to take on my sister and her stupid friends. Tonight the women standing across the ring will get exactly what’s coming to them...as for Simply Glam?
[::The tattooed blonde stands up and looks sternly into the camera.::]
Jessica Jackson: Do as you’re told and stay out of our way!
[::Jessica pushes the camera out of the way as you can hear the two women laughing as the cameras shift and we see Keira Johnson in her locker room. She is depressed a bit from the last show as the way it was going, her battles against Charlotte wasn't going through. She looks at her hand and sighs. But as she stands, she sees Roxi coming in and says.::]
Roxi Johnson: Now I know where you been. Let me guess, still feeling down?
Keira Johnson: A bit. I feel like I'm losing my edge a bit.
Roxi Johnson: Keira, you know you can't win a war with ease. There will be some battles that we will lose.
Keira Johnson: I know that. But it feels like I failed you. The legendary Team Hero defeated by a psycho. All cause she's obsessed with me at this point.
Roxi Johnson: Don't worry. We got the tag match tonight. We got Bobbi on our side as well as Tiggy and Eliza. All five of us can handle Two of the Queen's Court.
[::Keira smirks a bit.::]
Keira Johnson: As well as Mercedes, Allison and Sarah. Least it's three new people we get to fight.
Roxi Johnson: Agreed, don't think of this as a sprint. This is a marathon. We WILL win the war, Keira.
Keira Johnson: Right.
[::Keira and Roxi get the last of the gear as the two to leave the room. All of a sudden, someone is in there, looking at everything that has happened. A eye is seen glowing as the scene shifts and we are taken to the locker room of Simply Glamorous and it is there where we can see Sarah Richardson along with Allison Sullivan. Sarah just shakes her head as she seems disgusted.::]
Sarah Richardson: Last week was one big fluke! Diamond and I may have been involved in a wrestling match and for some reason she was in a violent fury trying to defend such a worthless bitch but make no mistake it doesn’t mean anything!
Allison Sullivan: Crystal isn’t worth it and we don’t have time to worry about what happened last show. It’s all behind us now. The only thing that matters is what is going to happen when we step into the ring this week. I have a feeling it’s going to be Simply Glamorous!
Sarah Richardson: Damn right it will be… You see this week we get to team up with Jessica Jackson and Charlotte. The Queens Court know how to get shit done. Jessica is a woman who can do just about anything she puts her mind on. Charlotte is probably the best Chaos Champion of all time. You mix those two together and add them with my trio of girls and you have a solid team that will decimate the Coalition and Team Hero.
[::Allison smirks.::]
Allison Sullivan: Team Hero is OVERRATED!!! What are the two of them looking to accomplish by trying to stand opposite of us?! Clearly they are going to be in for a world of pain because I doubt they even know what they are in for this week!
Sarah Richardson: And on the other end of the spectrum you have Eliza who is a tough woman you have one of my best friends in Bobbi Jackson and Super Tiger. This team seems to be elite on paper but that shouldn’t stop us from winning! Besides Bobbi her little friends are overrated!
Allison Sullivan: Let’s be honest here if you weren’t a childhood friend of Bobbi would you be defending her as much as you do?!
[::Sarah grins as she shrugs her shoulders and continues to speak.::]
Sarah Richardson: Anyway I have been reaching out to Jessica this past week and told her it would benefit all of us if our team were on the same page. Which means as great as this so called SUPER TEAM IS LIKE THE CARD TO THE SHOW READS I highly doubt they will have what it takes to beat all of us especially when we are on our game.
Allison Sullivan: Bring every single person. It truly won’t be enough… They can’t handle what we are bringing to the table for we are SIMPLY GLAMOROUS!!!!!!
[::With that Sarah and Allison smile at one another as we fade out on them before shifting the WWR Revolutionary Champion, Eliza Frost-Showtime, who leans over a table to check herself in the mirror, sliding her hands along her shapely, stuffed into her tightly fitting gear figure as she nods approvingly. She then turns, placing her hands behind her head as she strikes a pose.::]
Eliza Frost: Are we ready to dazzle the audience or what?
[::Bobbi can't help but roll her eyes a bit.::]
Bobbi Jackson: What is it with you Frosts and mirrors?
[::The blonde chuckles clearly teasing Eliza due to the fact that the Frosts are honestly obsessed with themselves. Eliza sticks her tongue out at Bobbi.::]
Eliza Frost: Don't be hating just because we look damn good.
[::She winks at the blonde playfully.::]
Eliza Frost: Of course, you're plenty familiar with that as well.
Bobbi Jackson: What on Earth are you implying?
[::Bobbi scoffs terribly as Alexa just sits on the couch in the locker room rolling her eyes now as she listens to the back and forth banter.::]
Eliza Frost: Oh come on, as if between the two of you you couldn't just walk right into a snowbank and melt your way through it with how hot you are.
[::The youngest Frost sister laughs and winks at Bobbi and Alexa.::]
Bobbi Jackson: I appreciate the thought but I don't know about all that...
[::Bobbi says as she adjusts her gear and makes sure her laces are securely tied on her boots.::]
Eliza Frost: Bah, you're too modest for your own good. Anyway, we have more to worry about than looking good. I don't think I even need to ask, but how are you feeling? All ready to burst back onto the scene?
[::Bobbi nods.::]
Bobbi Jackson: As ready as I'll ever be...you ready to go? Or do you need to look in the mirror again?
[::Bobbi can't help but laugh, its clear she's trying to keep the mood light as she's entering the ring for the first time in months. Eliza narrows her eyes a bit as she walks over and leans in 'till the tip of her nose boops Bobbi's, a smile creeping to her lips.::]
Eliza Frost: As you said, ready as I'll ever be. It's time to go and show the world that Bobbi Jackson is BACK.
Bobbi Jackson: Heh, okay then...let's go out there and whoop some ass!
[::The blonde says motioning toward the locker room door.::]
Eliza Frost: After you, m'lady. Tonight is your night.
[::She winks and gives an exaggerated bow.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Oh Lord...
[::Bobbi says walking over to Alexa to give her a big tight hug, asking her to stay in the back tonight because there are so many people out there for this match and it could get out of control, before moving toward the locker room door as she speaks.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Please remember Eliza...It's not about me, it's about getting a win for our team.
[::Eliza smiles and nods her head in agreement, following Bobbi.::]
Eliza Frost: Then lets go do it. With you back, we've GOT this.
[::Eliza and Bobbi exit the room as Alexa kicks her feet up on the couch to watch the match, not nervous at all as she has faith in her Doll as WWR Battleground returns to ringside for the next matchup.::]
Arianna Grey: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a ten woman tag team match, scheduled for one fall! Introducing first...
[::"The Phoenix by Fallout Boy" hits the PA Speakers as Bobbi Jackson, Super Tiger, Eliza Frost-Showtime, and Keira and Roxi Johnson hit the stage together, showing solidarity as a group as the crowd loses their minds for five of their favorites teaming up together in WWR as they all make their way to the ring...::]
Arianna Grey: The team of Bobbi Jackson, Roxi and Keira Johnson, the WWR Revolutionary Champion Eliza Frost-Showtime, and the WWR Chaos Champion...Super Tiger!
Monica Powers: Look at that dream team!
Alexis Rose: Five of the best to have ever done it! And they certainly seem united here tonight!
[::The five women get into the ring and pose for the crowd who just eats it all up. Clearly this is a dream combination of women for some fans seeing them all together for the first time ever as they await the arrival of their opponents...::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponents...
[::"Lights Out by Breaking Benjamin" hits the PA Speakers as two members of the Queen's Court, Charlotte Haliday and Jessica Jackson hit the stage to a chorus of boos. The two smirk and strike a pose before making their way to the ring...::]
Arianna Grey: Introducing first, representing the Queen's Court...the team of Jessica Jackson and Charlotte Haliday!
Alexis Rose: Here comes Jessica Jackson and the newest member of The Queen's Court, Charlotte Haliday!
Monica Powers: It's not like the Court wasn't powerful enough, adding Haliday to their ranks make them even more unstoppable!
[::Charlotte and Jessica make their way to ringside as they refuse to enter the ring, awaiting the arrival of their tag team partners.::]
Arianna Grey: And their tag team partners...
[::"Glamorous by Fergie" begins to play across the speakers. As it does Allison, Mercedes, Sarah, and Felicia all emerge from the backstage area decked out in their matching pink and white attire. All of the women slowly make their way down to the ring turning their noses up to the audience which are booing them loudly. Sparkles come down from the ceiling and Sarah smiles as she raises her hands in the air.::]
Arianna Grey: The team of Sarah Richardson, Allison Sullivan, and Mercedes White...Simply Glamorous!
Monica Powers: Simply Glamorous getting along with the Court makes perfect sense to me.
Alexis Rose: You know how the Court rolls, you're either with them or against them...so it makes sense to them trying to suck up to the Court!
[::The three women arrive at ringside alongside Jessica and Charlotte as the five women look at one another and charge the ring as all ten women start brawling in the middle of the squared circle. The crowd loses its mind as the referee stands there wide eyed really not sure how the hell they are gonna get control of this and just kinda shrugs and decides to ring the bell to start the match.::]
DING! DING! DING!
The ring is filled with chaos as the women throw wild punches and grab at each other, limbs getting tangled up as people fall over and tumble through the ropes or under them, complete pandemonium taking over the match. The referee futilely tries to restore order by barking orders while all ten women brawl and grapple and shove at one another, the crowd's wild cheers at the explosive action drowning out their voice.
The Phoenix Coalition and their allies are on the back foot from the unexpected assault, but they soon start to rally and return fire in kind, Bobbi snatching hold of Sarah to lift her off her feet and slam her back into the guard rail in a Spinebuster while Super Tiger, brawling with Allison on the apron, slips under a punch to get behind her and yank her backward in German Suplex to smash her onto the apron with a Go The F*ck To Sleep.
The battle is hectic as Keira and Roxi get whipped into one another by the Queen's Court's members, Jessica and Charlotte smirking at one another before they charge at the stunned women, but as they do Eliza suddenly dives in, scissoring Haliday's legs with hers to trip her up. Jessica's briefly taken aback, but then fires off a Superkick that knocks Keira's skull right into Roxi's, knocking them both down while the ref shouts and gestures and just desperately pleads for some order.
Jessica and Eliza come face to face, the former partner in the Court just staring at one another, seemingly unsure what to do, 'till suddenly Jessica's eyes widen and she shoves Eliza aside before flinging herself away from the spot too as a set of steel steps, flung by Charlotte, comes crashing down, bouncing off the mats and hitting the guard railing with a loud clang. The referee has had plenty enough and finally calls for the bell to just end the match in a final bid to restore order even if it means throwing the whole match out.
Arianna Grey: Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has thrown this match out, it is officially a no contest!
[::The women continue to brawl ignoring the fact that the referee even ended the match. They don't seem to care. After another minute or so WWR General Manager Leonie Frost appears on the Tron and slams her fist on the desk to get everyone's attention...::]
Leonie Frost: ENOUGH!!! KNOCK IT OFF!!!
[::The loud noise from the Tron from the GM startled everyone in the ring and outside of it as they stop what they are doing and look up.::]
Leonie Frost: All these damn factions, enough is enough! You all want it SO bad...FINE! You got it! In two week's time on pay-per-view...WWR presents...FATAL FACTIONS!!! Good luck, you'll all need it!
[::The Tron blacks out and after a few moments the ten women start brawling again as a bunch of referees and WWR officials rush to the ring to separate the wrestlers as best they can.::]
Alexis Rose: Fatal Factions! This out of control!!!
Monica Powers: Hopefully we can restore some order here!
Alexis Rose: While they try to contain all this madness we gotta take a quick commercial break an we'll be right back with more WWR Battleground right after this!
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break and the scene opens backstage reserved for interviewers. The only two people in the interview station are the challengers for the WWR World Tag Team Championships, Cassie Mason and Malaya Diyosa. The blonde is standing to the right, the Baesian is standing to the left. We kick things off with Cassie passionately waves to the fans (and haters) watching this.::]
Cassie Mason: Ayo party people!! I can not begin to express how excited I am feeling at this very moment in time. Can you blame me? Competing for the WWR Tag Team Championships. Teaming with the best wrestler in this company. Piece of advice, count your blessings everyday. With all the zaniness that exists in the world, another perspective is badly needed. Being a ray of sunshine is what I offer more than anything. We can’t control what happens in the world. Hell, if it was up to Malaya and me, we would be the ones challenging Bobbi’s Angels one on one, not in a triple threat tag team match; sister. We could be debbie downers about this. Kick. Scream. Complain. Make a huge fuss. I look at the bright side.
[::Cassie flashes an award winning smile.::]
Cassie Mason: Me and Malaya are undefeated as a team. Every situation we have been in, we have excelled. Yeah, I know, me and Mal haven’t always been a well oiled machine. I had faith. Still do. Mal has come around, admitting that I have grown on her, so small victories. BUT the ultimate victory awaits us in a matter of moments. Becoming tag team champions. I don’t call myself the Gold Standard of my family cause it's a cool ass nickname, it is, obviously. I miss the feeling of walking into a company, wrapping gold around my waist and having a lot of fun doing it. My mission statement is the same as it has always been. In my esteemed opinion, Malaya is the face of this company. The best wrestler in this match. It has been long overdue for the Baesian to walk away with championship gold. So if she has to deal with Trixie wagging her tongue every time she post a pic on Twitter or Azurine being the laziest most repetitive wrestler of all time with the this is what this day means or Bobbi’s Angels basically living a life where they alike so many on the roster who worship the ground she walks on. Nothing personal ladies, you do have what we desire. One question, you two are single right? After me and Mal leave here with the tag team championships, drinks will be on you. We’ll figure out the which one of you belongs to us part later.
[::Cassie playfully winks.::]
Malaya Diyosa: I doubt they play that way, but, if they do, dibs on Carmen.
[::Malaya said with a playful chuckle, as she joined Cassie in addressing the title match, and speaks up.::]
Malaya Diyosa: It is true, Cassie and I didn't get along at first, and that was mostly my fault… I had been so closed off, and she helped me realize that I have a lot more potential to give to the company, and this world as a whole. I'm indebted to you, and I plan on helping repay you with one half of the tag team championships, and proving that we are as good as we say we are.
[::She said with a bright smile, as Malaya has changed a bit, not being as cold and as for the lack of a better term, bitchy, as her usual self. Malaya would nod at Cassie, talking to her directly.::]
Malaya Diyosa: It feels different tagging with someone outside of the Triad, but, we've gelled so well together, almost like another sisterhood. We've complimented each other so well, and while we haven't officially beaten Trixie and Azurine, we still get better every match, and it will be a matter of time before they're in our rearview mirror. But, that leaves the biggest variable in the fight… the reigning champions.
[::She said, shifting gears to talk about the Angels in their upcoming bout. She looked back toward the camera, placing her hands on her hips as she does so.::]
Malaya Diyosa: The Angels, whom I have some experience with. You're the champions for a reason, and have an obvious edge in experience. The smart bet is on you both picking us or Azurine and Trixie off after we deal with each other. However, you'll have targets on your backs all night long, and Cassie and I don't miss. She and I are going to stop at nothing less than dethroning you both, and bringing the titles around our sexy waists. Get ready to fall in line, because the Monarch is ready to take her crown.
[::The cameras shift to the other challengers, the team of Trixie Decker and Azurine Vebbins...::]
Azurine Vebbins: It’s not dat kind of de-brief-in’ room, Trix…
[::The camera fades in on a table lit by a single hanging light. On the table in a map of a wrestling ring and files. Trixie Decker, dressed as Patton, steps into view. Azurine Vebbins, meanwhile, appears to be dressed like a field nurse.::]
Trixie Decker: Well, I can dream, can’t I? Okay! This is officially war and we’ve got two enemies to face!
[::Vebbins accidentally trips into Decker..::]
Azurine Vebbins: I notioned it was a war on two fronts…
Trixie Decker: (catching Azzie and helping her up) Too true! And neither are going to be pushovers! There’s a reason Bobbi’s Angels have those belts, and Cassie and Malaya have been thorns in our tuchuses for two pay-per-views now. We’ve gotta figure out a new strategy!
[::Trixie grabs a bunch of D&D miniatures and puts them on the map.::]
Trixie Decker: You and me will be these comely elven wenches! Cassie will be this beholder and Malaya will be this nymph. Giselle will be this mummy and … uh… I ran out of minis, so Carmen will be this button.
Azurine Vebbins: Why’d you only brin’ five miniatures? Also, why’s Carmen da button? Is she cute? Are you hopin’ to land on her like a curlin’ rock? Is my blouse missin’ one?
[::Azurine feels up and down her own torso to make sure a button didn’t spontaneously pop off.::]
Trixie Decker: Trust me, you know if you were missing one… I’d be drooling. And my dog ate the other miniatures. Now, we’ve gotta focus. We’ve faced Cassie and Malaya twice before and tied ‘em two times. They’re going to be frustrated and probably coming at us harder because they think they’re better than us - I wouldn’t be shocked if we’re more of a target than Bobbi’s Angels. And BA - well, they’re both tall and strong. We need to figure out our strengths going into this match.
Azurine Vebbins: We’re bode incredibly stubborn, possess low centers of gravity, and collectively daydreamt ’bout what it’d be like puttin’ a tag strap onto your bronzed breadbasket? Dat’s dree empowerments right deyr, Trix…
Trixie Decker: (blushing a little) Well, that sounds wonderful. I think we also have the advantage of being the underdogs. Let’s be honest, Cassie and Malaya have been writing us off since the start as nuisances who “got lucky.” Bobbi’s Angels - well, they seem really nice, but there’s a complacency that comes with having titles. We can use that. Play smart, have them wear each other down. I’m not saying we sit the fight out, but we need to use their lack of expectations against them. Because, seriously, wrestlers have horrible egos.
Azurine Vebbins: You and I certainly are under-bleeps. All din’s bein’ equal, dough, we’re mutually invested in becomin’ tag-team champions to-ged-er. Deyr’s not anoder dame in Women’s Wrestlin’ Revolution I’d rad-er receive a hot tag from, y’know? Again, I agree dat Bobbi’s Angels are nice, but dey don’t click like a leash and a collar da same way we do. Same goes for Mason and Diyosa. One’s da bottom half of a bagel and her odd-er comes across as burnt toast.
Trixie Decker: (stifling a snicker) Exactly! Hell, we’ve already proven in that Christmas show we’re a perfect team - no matter what sort of fight ahead! And just so you know, Azzie, I’m really excited we got to be partners. I can’t think of another person in WWR I’d rather be side-by-side with, facing down the toughest teams. You’re the perfect tag buddy and bestie.
[::“Da Damsel in Dat Dress” bends over to maneuver miniatures while wiggling her heavenly hips.::]
Azurine Vebbins: Indeed, blestie. We need dat same foxtrottin’ fervor and focus when amblin’ down dat aisle. Our amazin’ audience was especially ecstatic for our expressive entrance. Wonderin’ if I should sport a different oral obedience aid? Maybe since we’re diggin’ deep to capture da Women’s Wrestlin’ Revolution Tag Team Championships...it should be a golden gob-guard?
[::Vebbins double blinks and blushes.::]
Trixie Decker: (rifling through her pocket) About that, since this is a special occasion and I’ve got this much confidence we’re going to come out of it with titles, I had something special made for the occasion.
[::Trixie pulls out a newly custom-made ball gag, or “gob-guard” as Azzie calls it, that looks like the WWR tag belt - with “Best Blestie” inscribed on the rubber buckle.::]
Trixie Decker: I hope it’s not too forward, but, well, I’ve got confidence in us…. And you especially.
[::“Da Damsel in Dat Dress” fans herself and does her best to keep her ocular cavities from perspiring tears of joy.::]
Azurine Vebbins: For you, Trix, I’ll wear dat wid plenty of pride. We’ve well-armed, well-prepared, and come Friday night...da only din’ dat’ll be strapless will be my dress when we go to da club dancin’.
[::Trixie gets on her toes and gently applies the gob-guard, giving Azzie a hug and fast, friendly peck on the cheek.::]
Trixie Decker: Just the first of many straps for us, Azzie! Just the first!
[::Trixie latches onto Azurine in a tight hug as the camera shifts to the WWR World Tag Team Champions, Bobbi's Angels who clasp hands as Giselle pulls Carmen to her feet as the Speed Star finishes tying her laces up.::]
Giselle Anderson: You ready to do this?
Carmen DeVega: Hah, you kidding me? You know I was born ready.
[::Carmen winks, but Giselle shakes her head a bit, a smirk on her lips.::]
Giselle Anderson: You were born ready for SOMETHING alright, but to be ready for this we've taken quite the long road.
[::The Latina speedster nods her head.::]
Carmen DeVega: It HAS been a while since those days long ago when we'd stay up watching wrestling together, Bobbi was always SO fired up and we'd get swept right along.
Giselle Anderson: I guess that's kind of how our careers have been too, eh? With Bobbi leading the charge and us right on her heels.
Carmen DeVega: That's ONE way to look at it, sure. We're here in WWR because she needed back-up after all. But...
[::Carmen places a hand on Giselle's shoulder.::]
Carmen DeVega: ...we are Tag Champions for US. It's what we wanted for ourselves and for one another.
[::Giselle nods her head and smiles.::]
Giselle Anderson: That's right, our ambition isn't just limited to playing back-up, even for our dearest friend. We are Bobbi's Angels and always will be, but we're also Carmen and Giselle, we're our own women and we owe our success to nobody but ourselves. We're the ones that stuck with it when times were rough, honing our skills and team work. We had our friends' and fans' support, but ultimately we are the ones that made it happen.
Carmen DeVega: It's our choice to be the awesome us that we are and to claim our very own spot in the spotlight. And we are gonna shine DAMN bright tonight. We'll go out there and show these wannabe teams what REAL teamwork is like and why you and me are as good as it gets at it.
Giselle Anderson: You can COUNT on it!
[::The two of them smack one another's hands in a high-five, looking all pumped up for their bout as they head on out of their locker room, the camera's view fading as they close the door behind them as WWR Battleground returns to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is triple threat tag team match scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit, and it is for the WWR World Tag Team Championships! Introducing first...
[::“When The Lights Come On by Asking Alexandria” 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 challengers, the team of Cassie Mason and Malaya Diyosa!
Alexis Rose: These two have gotten along better than I could have ever imagined!
Monica Powers: And now they have a shot at the WWR World Tag Team titles, this should be a great matchup!
[::Cassie does her best to keep up. It’s clear Malaya wants to be front and center. As Mal enters under the bottom rope and rolled onto one knee and poses briefly in the center of the ring. Cassie remains on the ring apron, 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: Also the challengers, the team of Trixie Decker and the Adorkable Angel...Azurine Vebbins!
Monica Powers: These two crack me up, they're adorable together!
Alexis Rose: The pairing has worked out better than anyone could have possibly imagined!
[::Trixie walks behind her partner as Azzy performs various other dance steps while making her way to the eastern ring apron. Along the way, she waves, high-fives and hugs certain chanters she comes into contact with. When a chanter puckers up for a kiss, she points to her halo (neck collar). Upon entering the eastern ring apron, she glides between the bottom and middle ropes as Trixie strikes a pose for the crowd.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponents...
[::"Send Me An Angel '89 by Real Life" hits the speakers, the crowd bopping along to it, as through the curtains burst Bobbi's Angels, Carmen and Giselle side by side as they pause to pose with their championship titles, Carmen leaning on one leg, the other stuck out to the side as she gives a flex of her biceps, Giselle standing behind her with arms spread. The two laugh as they high-five, then head on down to the ring, slapping the reaching for them hands of fans.::]
Arianna Grey: From Jacksonville, Florida. Representing the Phoenix Coalition, they are the WWR World Tag Team Champions...the team of Carmen DeVega and Giselle Anderson...Bobbi's Angels!
Monica Powers: And here comes the tag team champions!
Alexis Rose: Carmen and Giselle have carried these titles with pride but now they are in a match where they don't even need to be pinned or submitted to lose the titles.
[::Giselle heads up the steel steps while Carmen hops onto the apron, looking about the crowd before nodding to Giselle as they both step in through the ropes simultaneously, then head to the far side's corners, posing a bit more for the fans before they rejoin in the middle of the ring and bump fists, ready for the match to begin. They hand the tag team titles off to the referee as they show them to the challengers and then to the crowd before calling for the bell.::]
DING! DING! DING!
As the bell rang, Malaya, Carmen, and Trixie remained in the ring as their respective partners exited to their corners. In the early goings, the Champions and one set of their challengers - Vebbins and Decker - managed to work in concert with each other, isolating Malaya and Cassie from each other. Cassie was able to help her partner in a most unconventional way, by springing off her corner and hauling Giselle off the apron, throwing her back into the barricade. This brought Azurine into the ring, vaulting across and rolling off the backs of the three women IN the ring, cascading down onto Mason below!
Advantages in this contest became unlikely, as the triple threat nature negated any long-term offense. Mason and Diyosa came close to toppling the Champions when Carmen was dropped with the Mason-DDT, followed by The Butterfly Effect from Malaya. This led to a two-count after Giselle drove Trixie into the pin. Trixie and Azurine were quick to capitalize, taking Malaya up for a ride, but as the two lifted her for a tandem powerbomb, Cassie clipped their legs. Malaya and Cassie hit stereo DDTs, covering but both pins were broken.
The Champions were soon dictating the pace, keeping Malaya and Azurine out of the ring while keeping Trixie and Cassie isolated within it. The tag team specialists scored a number of near-falls, coming closest when they caught Trixie with the Soaring Winds of Seduction! Before the three, the pin was broken as the other three women barreled through Giselle into the covering Carmen.
The end of the match came with controversy - a three-way pin! Trixie Decker was covering Giselle Anderson after the Jinx Jrop… Carmen DeVega had Malaya tied up in a small package… Cassie Mason had hit Bullseye and covered Azurine Vebbins… The referee looked at the melee and dropped, counting…ONE…TWO…Vebbins kicks out! Malaya gets her foot on the ropes…THREE!
[::The referee gets up and calls for the bell. All three tandems look to celebrate, but with the air of uncertainty over the crowd, they weren’t sure WHO would be celebrating. The referee moved to the timekeeper and conferred briefly…::]
Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, and NEW WWR World Tag Team Champions... Azurine Vebbins and Trixie Decker!
[::All three teams look rather shell shocked by the announcement, even the new champion as Azzy and Trixie are handed the tag team titles. Carmen and Giselle sigh a bit but fist bump the champions in a show of respect as Cassie and Malaya look indifferent about the whole thing as they talk among themselves.::]
Monica Powers: Wow! We've got new tag team champions!
Alexis Rose: Congrats to Trixie and Azzy! That was a fun match!
Monica Powers: All three teams were equally matched in my opinion. It will be fun to see a rematch in the future!
Alexis Rose: All in due time, Monica. All in due time. We gotta take a quick commercial break but we'll be right back with more WWR Battleground right after this!
Arianna Grey: Please welcome at this time, the leader of the Queen's Court, the Suplex Queen...Susan Rigger!
[::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.::]
Alexis Rose: Susan was scheduled for a match tonight but her opponent has been released by the company.
Monica Powers: Management made a judgment call and after what we saw on the RevWire, I support it. I'm no fan of Rigger but we don't need that kind of negative energy in the WWR locker room. Good riddance!
[::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. She goes over to Arianna Grey and takes the microphone out of her hands as the crowd boos her loudly...::]
Susan Rigger: Far be it for me to deprive the WWR audience of seeing their Queen tonight...so here I am.
[::Susan poses for the crowd in Pittsburgh who give her a mixed reaction that is pretty negative but it's clear the Court have their fanbase for obvious reasons. She smirks to herself before continuing to speak.::]
Susan Rigger: So, Fatal Factions, eh? I DO agree it is time to stop dancing around it and make this battle happen, a glorious clash where one side's superiority will be made clear once and for all. The Court's superiority, of course.
[::She smirks again, ever the cocky one, always confident in herself and those she choose to surround herself with.::]
Susan Rigger: Bobbi, I'm so glad to see you're back, because now I challenge you and your Phoenix Coalition... to WARGAMES. Choose three of your cronies and face the Queen's Court for a climactic battle the likes of which few have ever witnessed. We will absolutely ROCK WWR as our forces clash.
[::The buxom Britt grins pleased with herself at the grand design forming in her mind even as she speaks about it.::]
Susan Rigger: Additionally, since we still have a member of either faction about to face off in a match already loaded with importance, lets go ahead and add a little extra on top. The winner of tonight's main event gets to have their team have the advantage of having additional members enter the fray first. I DO hope your little protégé is ready, for your sake and hers.
[::Susan grabs the shoulder of Arianna Grey. The ring announcer yelps a bit shocked and trembles in fear.::]
Susan Rigger: Where are Showtime and Leonie backstage? I'm going to make this stipulation official right now.
[::The startled ring announcer stammers directions and Susan shoves the microphone into Grey's stomach before departing the ring in a hurry, passing right by the cameras and heading up the ramp to return to the backstage area as the cameras pan back over to Alexis and Monica.::]
Alexis Rose: Wargames!?
Monica Powers: You have to say it right, Alexis! It's...WARGAMES!!!!
Alexis Rose: Ugh, never the less. I have no clue if management is going to go with this request but I guess she's going to speak with them right now!
Monica Powers: Hopefully we'll find out before the night is over. If not...we will keep you posted with Fatal Faction announcements this weekend, we got one more commercial break before your main event of the evening...Don't go anywhere! We'll be right back!
[::WWR Battleground returns from it's final commercial break and we see Zoe Jane who takes a deep breath, her eyes closed and head tilted back as she hops in place a bit, warming up her legs. She stops and opens her eyes, turning to the camera.::]
Zoe Jane: I ain't gonna lie, tonight is a BIG night for me, for everyone really if I manage to pull this off. I could end the night holding a World Championship for the first time, the Court's grasp on WWR shaken up something fierce... or I might end up walking away in defeat.
[::She takes another breath to try and calm her nerves.::]
Zoe Jane: There is a lot on the line here that affects not just me, but everyone, everyone in the locker room, all our fans. So long as the Court is allowed to reign we are all under a blanket of oppression whether we realize it or not. It's time we rip away the yoke and free ourselves from their influence and tonight it is down to me to strike a decisive blow.
[::She clenches a fist and stares at it.::]
Zoe Jane: My hand is the one that will shake the foundations of WWR as I take from the Court the bedrock of their influence, the one thing they could always prop up and rub in the faces of anyone voicing their dissent.
[::She relaxes her hand and drops it, turning her gaze to the camera again.::]
Zoe Jane: But I haven't gotten this far on my own, everyone who has believed in me and supported me will share in this victory. Risa, Bobbi, Alexa too, all you fans who've cheered me on in triumph or while I've struggled. You all helped make this possible and now it's down to me to make it happen.
[::She turns to the make up desk and picks up a mask that covers the right side of her face as she slips the band on it around her head and adjusts the mask into place. The mask portrays a fierce, stylized visage of a tiger, a clear tribute to her girlfriend and the team they formed together.::]
Zoe Jane: Every step has led me here and I refuse to let you all down. Dominique, I'm coming for you and the WWR World Championship! This ends tonight! The Court's rule is OVER!
[::The fierceness in her eyes matching that of her mask, Zoe turns and heads out of the room and toward the ring and her destiny. The cameras shift to WWR World Champion, Dominique Frost who is staring into her phone, wearing her wrestling gear and her chin resting against the palm of her hand as she sits on a comfy couch in the Court's locker room, one long leg crossed over the other. She seems bemused as she sets her foot down and stands, the camera tilting up a bit to follow her as the tall blonde towers over the person holding it.::]
Dominique Frost: Seems the show is streaming smoothly and, as expected, my victim, that is to say, my opponent, had a whole speech or whatever ready. I didn't really pay much attention. Such an unworthy foe doesn't warrant my attention.
[::The beautiful woman tosses her phone over her shoulder onto the couch and adjusts the title belt wrapped around her waist, a confident smirk on her lips.::]
Dominique Frost: You've been at this for, what, a year, year and a half? I handily beat your mentor who has TEN TIMES as much experience under her belt. You think a bit of spunkiness will make up the difference? Are you cocky enough to believe you have SO much more talent than her or anyone else I've beaten before you?
[::She shakes her head and tsks disapprovingly.::]
Dominique Frost: Youth is wasted on the young, all that confidence and bluster you've put on, I see right through it. Deep down you know this is not your night, you know you aren't ready, not even remotely. You'll throw everything you have at me... and it won't be even close to being enough to get the job done. And I will enjoy seeing that façade crumble.
[::Her hands rest on her hips as her lips curve into a wicked grin.::]
Dominique Frost: I'll delight in breaking down your over-bloated confidence and putting you back in your place. Nothing you have faced so far could've prepared you for what awaits you in that right tonight, you've never experienced such exquisite torment as you will at my hands. You should be grateful, really. You'll pay for it in pain, but you'll come away with experiences the likes of which most rookies like you could only hope to gain. You'll walk away stronger... assuming you're still able to walk once I'm done with you.
[::The menacing grinning champion licks her lips.::]
Dominique Frost: You reached for the stars, but now it's time that you felt the cold, merciless Frost of the empty void before you're brought back down to Earth like Icarus plummeting after flying too close to the sun.
[::Dominique almost walks right over the cameraman, who has to dodge aside as the wicked woman strides toward the door and heads out to the ring to defend her title as WWR Battleground returns to ringside for the main event of the evening.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is your main event of the evening! Scheduled for one fall with a sixty-minute time limit, and it for the WWR World Championship! Introducing first...
[::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: The challenger, From Baltimore, Maryland. Representing the Phoenix Coalition, she is...Zoe Jane!
Monica Powers: Here comes Zoe Jane, in the biggest match of her young pro wrestling career for sure!
Alexis Rose: Dominique Frost is no easy task, it's going to be very difficult task to wrestle that World Championship away from her.
[::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 her opponent...
[::With the sound of a whip cracking and the theme of "On Your Knees by W.A.S.P." playing over the PA Speakers, the curtains are flung aside as Dominique Frost strides through them onto the stage. She stops to scan the crowd with her gaze before heading down the ramp, hips swaying side to side with each step...::]
Arianna Grey: From Montreal, Canada. Representing the Queen's Court, she is the WWR World Champion...Dominique Frost!
Monica Powers: Tonight is the first World title defense of the Dominiqtrix!
Alexis Rose: I'm sure she'll be looking to make a statement tonight, but if she takes Zoe Jane too lightly we might have a new champion tonight!
[::As Dominique arrives at the ring she reaches up to grab the second rope, hauling herself up as she steps right up onto the apron, then tosses a long leg over the top rope, stepping right over it as she pushes it down a bit to make the step easier. She walks across the ring and goes to climb the corner... but then dismissively gestures at the effort, instead turning around and placing one hand on her hip as she uses the other to raise the WWR World Championship high above her head, an evil grin on her face as the crowd boos as she stares across the ring at Zoe. The referee comes over to get the title from Dominique before showing it to Zoe and then the crowd before calling for the bell as the main event of the evening is about to get underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
As the bell is rung Dominique feints a lunge and Zoe hops back, but the champion just smirks as she crosses her arms across her chest, looking at the challenger down her nose. Zoe huffs, but catches herself before she can go and make an early mistake by letting the veteran get to her, taking a deep breath to calm herself instead of playing into her hands by getting reckless. Zoe lowers her stance a bit and starts weaving her way toward Dominique, approaching carefully as the tall blonde unfurls her arms and steadies her stance as well, her eyes locked onto her opponent as she watches her every move.
Suddenly the towering champion surges forward, her speed surprising Zoe as she barely manages to duck her head in time to avoid having Dominique's boot smash square into her face. Dominique is left off-balance after the whiffed attack just long enough for Zoe to take advantage of the window of opportunity, gritting her teeth as she scoops Dominique off her feet and upside down. The champion's eyes go wide and the crowd gasping at the show of strength as Zoe slams the tall blonde down between her legs in a Michinoku Driver and snatches hold of a long leg for a pin, but the caught by surprise referee is slow to get into position and Dominique refuses to stay down for even a single count.
Both women get back up, but Zoe is faster and starts laying into Dominique with repeated kicks that batter her as she's trying to get up off one knee until suddenly the champion lashes out, her open hand thumping against Zoe's chest in a rough shove to send her staggering back a bit. Dominique surges to her feet and thrusts her arm out again to snatch hold of Zoe's throat, her fingers squeezing like a vice grip. Zoe coughs and gasps, slapping at Dominique's arm as the tall beauty backs her up step by step, the referee warning her to let go, but before they can do more Dominique just hoists Zoe off her feet with one hand and lifts her high before she just flings her clear over the ropes, sending her crashing to the mats below.
Zoe hisses through grit teeth and arches her back a bit, her body shaking from the painful landing. Dominique dusts off her hands and smirks as she steps over the top rope onto the apron, but before she can bring her other leg all the way over her eyes widen again, seeing Zoe swing her legs up, then kip up to her feet before she rushes in and blasts Dominique's supporting leg out from under her with a frontal Dropkick, which sends her tumbling to the mats outside the ring. Zoe grabs at her back, her jaw still tightly clenched as she pulls herself onto the apron and looks over her shoulder, then jumps, bouncing off the second rope to launch herself into a backwards flip and crash on the rising to her feet Dominique in an Asai Moonsault that knocks her right back down.
As the crowd cheers excitedly Zoe gets onto the apron and waits for Dominique to stand before she jumps at her, tucking in her knees to her chest before blasting Dominique with both feet so hard the tall woman just flies back, slamming into the guard rail so hard she almost goes right over it. Zoe looks all fired up, but hearing the referee counting reminds her that she can only win the match in the ring and so she grabs Dominique's arm to whip her back into the ring, but the towering champion suddenly puts on the breaks, reversing the Irish Whip as she yanks Zoe toward her and smashes her right off her feet with a Short Arm Clothesline. She hangs onto Zoe's wrist and yanks her back to her feet onto to smash her right back down with another Clothesline.
Dominique bends over to reach down and just picks Zoe up in her arms, hoisting her high before she slams her stomach first onto a knee and just knocks the wind right out of her. Zoe coughs as she's lifted again, this time to be flung over the second rope back into the ring. She lands in a tumble and coughs more as she pushes herself to her hands and knees while Dominique re-enters the ring as well and walks on over. The tall beauty steps a foot on Zoe's back and pushes her flat on her belly before straddling her back. She grabs the challenger's arms and pulls them back over her knees, then grips her chin with both hands to pull on it and bend Zoe's back with a Camel Clutch.
Zoe cries out in pain as she claws at the canvas, inch by inch dragging the two women toward the ropes, but before she can reach them the smirking champion stands and grabs Zoe's legs, crossing them up around hers to trap them in place. She reaches down and grabs a fistful of Zoe's hair, ignoring the referee as she pulls on it to lift Zoe's upper body off the canvas before stepping a foot against the back of her head and just stomping the young challenger's face into the canvas with a Curb Stomp. Zoe's legs flop down and Dominique nudges her over with her foot, stepping onto her chest for a cocky pin, though with how her skull got rattled it still gets a two count.
Dominique looks like she's feeling mighty proud of herself as she drags Zoe to her feet and scoops her over a shoulder, then carries her over to a corner and jus tosses her face first into the top turnbuckle, Zoe's head jerking backward from the impact on her face before she starts sliding down the turnbuckles. Dominique pulls her back up and turns her, tossing the shorter woman's arms over the ropes to prop her up before she backs up, her lips curled into a wicked grin as she licks them, then charges in, swinging up her boot to just kick Zoe's head right off her shoulders. Fortunately for the challenger she just manages to rally herself fast enough to dive under the raised leg into roll, coming back up to her feet behind Dominique as the champion has leg caught over the top rope and before she can retrieve it Zoe Dropkicks her supporting leg out from under her again, causing Dominique to hiss through her teeth as she grabs at her knee.
Zoe has her sights locked on the champion as she circles around her, gesturing for her to get up and as Dominique rises to a knee Zoe steps in, slipping her arms under the tall beauty's as she tries to lock in a Full Nelson for her signature Tiger Pride Suplex, but as Dominique stands up the difference in height makes clasping her her hands to lock in the grip awkward and Dominique manages to twist around and fling Zoe away from her. Dominique tries to rush after Zoe, but her knee causes her some hesitation and slows her down just enough that as she goes for another Big Boot Zoe just grabs her leg before it can get high enough for the kick, then she whips her arm around the caught limb as she drops down, wrenching the knee painfully and taking the champion down with a Dragon Screw.
The crowd cheers as Zoe crosses Dominique's long legs up in a figure-four formation, then steps over the bent leg and tucks the other under her arm before stepping over the tall blonde's body to twist her over onto her belly and right into the hold she beat Susan with, the Phoenix Deathlock. Dominique cries out in pain from the Figure-Four Sharpshooter as Zoe sits back on it to put more pressure on her already hurt legs, just cranking back on them. Dominique drags them slowly toward the ropes, but Zoe digs her heels in, fighting it every inch of the way and the champion looks to be moving them ever slower. Dominique trembles in pain as she raises a shaking hand, looking like she's about to tap out, when suddenly Susan Rigger bursts through the curtains and rushes her way down the ramp toward the ring.
Zoe tosses Dominique's legs down and as Susan climbs onto the apron, the referee telling her to get out of there, Zoe charges at her and just blasts her with a Dropkick that hits her like a shotgun blast, blasting her right off the apron to send her crashing on her shoulders on the mats around the ring. Zoe stands back up, but as she just she just gets booted right in the face, an absolutely savage Big Boot all but taking her head clean off. Dominique leans against the ropes as she huffingly rubs her aching knees, then grabs Zoe and drags her up, stuffing the stunned girl's head between her thighs and grabbing a hold around her waist to yank her off her feet and flip her up into position for a Powerbomb, then grabbing her by the arms and lifting her higher still before she drops down sharply and slams Zoe right on the back of her head with the Ice Pick, folding her body right up on impact. Dominique places her hands on the backs of Zoe's knees to hold her down as the referee counts one, two, three and calls for the bell.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and STILL WWR World Champion... Dominique Frost!
[::Susan grabs the title from the time keeper and enters the ring and hands the title to Dominique raising her hand in victory as the crowd boos the Court loudly over Susan having to get herself involved in the finish of the match.::]
Alexis Rose: Of course Susan had to get involved...We were having a great main event!
Monica Powers: Nothing the Queen's Court does surprises me anymore...
Alexis Rose: I'm guessing this means Wargames is confirmed?
Monica Powers: I wouldn't doubt it...I'm sure we'll know soon enough!
Alexis Rose: But not tonight, we're out of time...GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!!!
