WWR CLASH RESULTS:
[::The scene is seen outside the arena, the night sky is clear and the moon is out. The camera pans down at it sees Keira Fisher, looking up at the moon. Even though lately in WWR has not the best, she is keeping a smile on her face. Her mind fully clear for once as she keeps looking up. She feels a arm wrap around her shoulders as Keira finally notices. She turns to see Roxi beside her, smiling a little bit. Roxi then asks...::]
Roxi Johnson: Hey, babe. What are you doing out here? We got a match coming up. It’s kind of important.
[::Keira takes a deep breath as she says.::]
Keira Johnson: I know. I thought I would come out here for a moment and look at the sky.
[::Keira smiles again as she looks up.::]
Keira Johnson: It's been too long since we took a moment and just looked. Having time pass us by for a moment. Letting the world slow down. Everything has just gone really fast and I just wanted to just have one moment before we start again.
[::Keira lowers her head and turns it back to Roxi.::]
Keira Johnson: I felt like I've been rushing the entire year last year, ever since the crisis started. With everything going on, I didn't get a chance to stop and smell the roses. I know we got Wildside to take care of tonight and trust me, we will. But in all honesty. I just need a moment, otherwise. I feel like I'll mess up and I'll give them the victory.
[::Roxi gives another smile over this.::]
Roxi Johnson: You are seriously not the Keira I first met so many years ago.
Keira Johnson: What do you mean?
Roxi Johnson: When we started dating, you were always going fast. Always wanting to be the best. You still want to be the best. But as the years pass, you start to slow down a little bit. Not in body, but in emotion, in spirit. You get to be calmer. Sure, you still get hot headed like you usually do, but even that is being washed to the side by stopping and thinking, looking at the situation before rushing out there and taking on the world.
[::Roxi looks at Keira, saying.::]
Roxi Johnson: You're being out here now, thinking before the match. You're seeing the situation play out and thinking. That's one of the reasons why I wanted you to focus. That's what will be one of the reasons we're going to win tonight. I know you’re very proud of everything, but we have to start picking things up around here, and elsewhere. We had some time to ourselves, but now, we have to get back to work. Let’s show the world what Team Hero is truly all about. I know you can do it.
[::Keira smiles again.::]
Keira Johnson: Thanks, Rox.
Roxi Johnson: Now, let's get in. It's cold out. Let’s take care of this like we always do.
Keira Johnson: Together?
Roxi Johnson: Together.
[::Keira nods as the two stand. The scene fades as they go back in to a previously recorded segment. The fans are steadily making their way into the Peterson Event Center and as they do we are able to see the Sullivan sisters roaming by the security checkpoint. It is there where we are taken to the merchandise booth. The Sullivan sisters are both there and they have huge grins on their faces as they greet the fans coming in.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: Hello everybody and welcome to WWR!!! Tonight the Phoenix Coalition seem to be taking over and while that might be amazing on paper, what is even more amazing is the fact that the Sullivan sisters are back together!!!
Allison Sullivan: That’s right it has been a long time coming but the Motor City Maidens are proudly back together!!! What that means is that Stephanie and I are going to build ourselves back up. We are going to showcase what it means to fight for what you believe in. To go the distance and to be a maiden!
[::Stephanie nods her head with a grin.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: Exactly! So come get your merchandise because we know you all want to buy what we are definitely selling! A lot of people would get upset that they are on Clash! That they aren’t on the show and look upon this as being a step back but in reality the truth is…
Allison Sullivan: When this company came back from hiatus we were on the show formerly known as Dark. It was on that very first show where I turned on my sister. Tonight is a chance to turn back the clock and to do things over because that won’t happen this time…
[::Stephanie nods her head with a chuckle.::]
Stephanie Sullivan: How often do people actually do promos on Clash?!
Allison Sullivan: I don’t have a clue…
Stephanie Sullivan: Not much but we are doing so because we love this company and every single aspect of WWR is one you can’t miss. You never know what you might miss by not tuning in so WATCH CLASH… Watch us as we step in the ring with women who know how to regulate!
Allison Sullivan: Tag team wrestling at it’s finest…
Stephanie Sullivan: It will be amazing! It will be great!
Allison Sullivan: But most of all you can expect some great action. Together Stephanie and I are going to showcase that nothing can overcome the power of sisterhood. We will wrestle a good clean match with the Regulators but we have the feeling we are going to emerge victorious.
Stephanie Sullivan: We want this more and right now there isn’t anything that can stop us from getting what we want. So bring on the tag team division and we will be waiting for it…
Allison Sullivan: Now tune in for Clash because it will be AMAZING!!!!!!!
[::With that Allison and Stephanie smile at the cameras as we go to ringside for the first Clash match of the evening.::]

Match #1: Regulators Inc. vs. Stephanie and Allison Sullivan
Stephanie and Allison surprisingly get along well and make a good team as they score an upset victory over Regulators Inc.
Match #2: Roxi and Keira Johnson vs. Wildside
Team Hero and Wildside had an epic back and forth match that saw Roxi and Keira pick up the victory to end WWR Clash for the night.

[::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 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for another edition of Battleground. Fresh off the latest PPV Fatal Factions, the crowd is hot and loud on a Friday night as they get ready for the makings of an awesome fallout show. The cameras pan through the crowd as the fans hold up their signs and jump up and down as you see signs like...::]
LET THE COURT BOOK A SHOW
BIG BOOTY BATTLE IN THE CAGE
END THE MOVEMENT
I <3 TRIXIE AND AZZY
And...
NO ONE WANTS TO BE BRITTANY'S PARTNER
[::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...::]
LET THE COURT BOOK A SHOW
BIG BOOTY BATTLE IN THE CAGE
END THE MOVEMENT
I <3 TRIXIE AND AZZY
And...
NO ONE WANTS TO BE BRITTANY'S PARTNER
[::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: Fatal Factions is in the books and we're ready for the aftermath tonight! 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 Phoenix Rising tonight?
Monica Powers: It should be a great show, Alexis! The Phoenix Coalition spent a couple days with WWR Management hammering out a pretty great show. While they didn't get everything they probably wanted, they met in the middle which is more than I could say had the Queen's Court been in charge tonight!
Alexis Rose: Hah! You're not wrong. But enough out of us. The Ultimate Survivor from Fatal Factions...The Foundation...Envy Ellis is standing in the ring with the microphone and it's clear she has something to say. Let's lay out and hear her out...
[::The cameras pan around the Petersen Events Center before panning to the ring where Envy Ellis stands, dressed in some jeans and a short-cut t-shirt. She had set the Ultimate Survivor trophy on a table conveniently set up in the ring, where she stands beside it, resting her elbow upon it as she leans slightly. As the cheers subside, Envy takes a microphone to her lips.::]
Envy Ellis: The Ultimate Survivor.
[::The crowd roars again as Envy smiles wider. She pats her hand on the top of the trophy before looking out again.::]
Envy Ellis: Has a good ring to it, doesn’t it? “Envy Ellis: The Ultimate Survivor”. Three weeks ago, I marched into battle as the namesake and “leader” of Team Foundation, consisting of myself, Mayumi Tanahashi, and Team Hero, Roxi Johnson and Keira Fisher. The four of us stood in league with each other and went to war with Team Monarch. And while our opponents ended up splitting loyalties and fracturing, Team Foundation was as strong as a foundation would need to be. It was a clean sweep! And from there, we went on to the main event… the Ultimate Survivor match, where it was every woman for herself.
[::Envy steps forward from the trophy, looking at it again as she continues.::]
Envy Ellis: I’d say that worked out pretty well. In the end, it came down to myself and Eliza Frost. Kind of a rematch from our Revolutionary Championship match from the beginning of January. Only this time, I was the one walking away with my arm raised. And because of that, I have a golden ticket: A Championship match of my choosing whenever I want… of course, cleared with management. And now I have a couple of decisions to make. Who? And when?
[::She smirks.::]
Envy Ellis: I’ve had three weeks to think about it, and while the answer of “who” is crystal clear in my mind, the answer of “when” is something that I plan to keep close to my chest. What I can tell you is that tonight, I plan on watching all the matches, and especially the WWR World Championship match…
[::Envy licks her lips, grinning wide.::]
Envy Ellis: It shouldn’t surprise anyone that my goal, my ultimate target, is to become World Champion. So I, like everybody else, will be watching tonight when Susan Rigger and Dominique Frost go one on one for that title and the leadership of the Queen’s Court on the line. And I know that my mentioning this outright is going to raise a few eyebrows… but you don’t need to keep eyes in the back of your head.
[::She paces around.::]
Envy Ellis: One thing that I want to make perfectly clear… you won’t see me rushing out from the back for my title shot immediately after the Champion has been through a brutal match like… say… an Elimination Chamber match. No… when I beat the best, I want them to be at THEIR best. But more than that, I don’t want them to be constantly looking over their shoulder, wondering if THIS is the night that Envy Ellis topples them and takes their spot on top of the mountain. I want them to have no excuses. I want them to see the whites of my eyes and know that, when it’s all said and done, I beat them straight up. Of course…
[::Envy shrugs her shoulders.::]
Envy Ellis: I could be lying. I could be planning to rush out as soon as my spot is open and, given the blessing of management, becoming the Champion WWR needs… no… DESERVES. Because in the end, regardless of HOW it happens, it’s only a matter of time. I WILL be World Champion, just like I AM the Foundation, and I AM the Ultimate Survivor. I’ll show everyone exactly what Envy Ellis is capable about… just you wait and see!
[::Envy’s music blares up again as she sets the microphone down, standing next to her trophy as she poses as Battleground takes a quick commercial break.::]
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break to show the current, reigning, and defending Women’s Wrestling Revolution Tag-Team Champions appear ample animated backstage at Battleground. Their dressing room door’s ajar enough for a backstage camera operator to peek in. Trixie’s seated on a sturdy steel chair while her partner Azurine is once again kneeling in front of her. Decker pats in paranoid pattern a secondary chair close by. Vebbins playfully pouts when she senses a tender tug on her halo. “Da Damsel in Dat Dress” complies by climbing onto the nearest available seat.::]
Azurine Vebbins: I wasn’t finished polishin’ it off, Trix.
Trixie Decker: I know. Sorry. I really appreciate your [Trixie blushes] tender attention. But I’m just sort of distracted and mad at myself. Because I slipped up, Brittany Williams gets a shot at our titles. I’m embarrassed I let her get to me, but here we are. I’m the reason this crap’s going down.
Azurine Vebbins: I should’ve baseball slid my ballet slippers into her cranium, but we were gonna need to defend da strap on your waist and mine sooner rad-er dan later.
Trixie Decker: Yeah, I know. I think it was just that personal shot about me having too many titles. I haven’t had any in a decade and, well...maybe she was right. Maybe I’ve let it blind me. I mean, when I’m here, this [Trixie taps her belt] should be all I’m focusing on. Well, the belt and watching your back.
Azurine Vebbins: Same here, Trix. Reminds me of da last time we trained and ran blind tag drills. Still don’t know if you also wore blindfold or not. You were awfully accurate wid some of dose temptin’ targets…
Trixie Decker: [grinning] Yeah. Speaking of tempting targets, I have to admit there’s more than a couple of women up to be Brat-any’s partner I wouldn’t mind rolling around with. Crystal, The Chest, Zoe-who-should-really-be-called-The-Chest…
Azurine Vebbins: You’re insatiably incorrigible. Still, I know whoever wins dat ballet rumba tonight, dey’re gonna be in a natural nightmare bein’ paired wid dat “Dream Machine” Brittany Williams.
Trixie Decker: [Trixie visibly winces] Can you imagine training with her? Listening to her voice? Or her tantrums? Honestly, we should probably send whoever “wins” the chance to be her partner an “I’m Sorry” bouquet.
Azurine Vebbins: Even dough dose quandaries were rhetorical, I’ll say dat it’d be difficult trainin’ wid Williams since she doesn’t seem to be on top of her game like you. As for da tantrums, deyr’s a tasteful time and pleasant place for baby talk? And yes, we do need to give dem an “I’m Sorry” bouquet. Add it to da pre-emptive gift registry since for at least one week, dose two will be gettin’ married? Pretty sure dat’s da industry term. Of course, since we don’t have an official team name, I’d supposed you and I are more employment-engaged?
[::Trixie blushes brighter.::]
Trixie Decker: [coughing] Yes, well, I should be so lucky to be eng-- I mean, I still think the name Blesties makes most sense since it’s what we are, right? Also, I can’t imagine Brittany being the “free to marry” type unless she’s found a way to marry her own reflection.
Azurine Vebbins: Too true, troupe-mate. Plus, who in 2021 wouldn’t want to celebrate National Freedom to Marry Day?
Trixie Decker: How do we celebrate Freedom to Marry Day? Cake? Presents? Storm wedding chapels?
Azurine Vebbins: I imagine it’s bein’ open-minded and acceptin’ of couples who are deeply devoted to one anoder. Only din’ ’bout cake or presents is dat I notion you’d expect me to burst out of dem, huh, Trix? I’d say maybe peaceably march to weddin’ chapels provided you have all da pesky paperwork figured out.
Trixie Decker: Paperwork? Like marriage licenses? [Trixie’s eyes grow wide] Are you suggesting we get--
Azurine Vebbins: Hitched like a tractor trailer? Hitched to welcome wagon wheels? [Loses her train of thought and blurts subconsciously.] Should probably slip on knee pads as much as you have me drop onto dem…
Trixie Decker: I mean… I’m not saying I’m not tempted but I dunno how either of our respective partners would react if we came home with rings.
Azurine Vebbins: [Pointing to the looped ring on her halo.] You flick dis all da time whenever chanters clamor to us.
Trixie Decker: [clearing her throat] A li’l different. [Trixie pulls out a notebook.] We should get in Monica position and watch. One of those women is going to try to topple us, and now’s the time to take notes. [Trixie stands and offers Azzie her hand] Madam, shall we away?
Azurine Vebbins: We shall. Still feel a missed a spot from earlier…
Trixie Decker: [giving Azzie a fast peck on the cheek] Don’t worry. We’re going to have a nice, long reign. Plenty of time to rub each other the right way.
[::Trixie takes Azzie’s hand and leads her off as the cameras shift to Jessica Jackson walking alone backstage looking less than thrilled about her upcoming match as she speaks to the camera crew that follows her.::]
Jessica Jackson: Yes, I'm sure everyone is REAL happy about seeing me half to face my friend and stablemate in a hardcore match in a few minutes...
[::The tattooed blonde huffs as her walk is loud and heavy, her boots making a loud sound each time she makes a step as she continues.::]
Jessica Jackson: Well I'm not fucking thrilled about it. Not one bit. But I gotta go what I gotta go...
[::Jessica stops and turns directly to the camera crew.::]
Jessica Jackson: So kindly get the fuck out of my face!
[::The Princess of Mischief piefaces the camera sending the camera man stumbling backward as she continues her march to the ring for the opening contest of the evening.::]
Arianna Grey: Ladies and gentlemen, our opening contest tonight is a hardcore match scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Introducing first...
[::"I Stand Alone by Godsmack" hits the PA Speakers as Charlotte Haliday hits the stage to a mixed reaction, but a strong one regardless. She has a smug grin on her face as the makes her way to the ring...::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. Representing the Queen's Court. She is...Charlotte Haliday!
Monica Powers: The first match of the night and we are kicking things off with a bang as two members of The Queen’s Court will be forced to battle it out in a hardcore match.
Alexis Rose: A match that I think Charlotte Haliday is looking forward to more than Jessica Jackson. She gives up a little size, but she more than makes up for it with her hard-hitting unorthodox style.
[::Charlotte slides underneath the bottom rope. She sits in the corner lost in her own thoughts waiting for the match to start.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"Lights Out by Breaking Benjamin" blasts over the PA Speakers as the Princess of the Queen's Court struts out onto the stage with a cocky grin on her face. The crowd boos her loudly as she strikes a pose and nods to herself before flipping off the crowd and walking down the aisle to make their way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From Jacksonville, FL, also representing the Queen's Court. She is...Jessica Jackson!
Monica Powers: Is it just me or do both of these women seem completely unphased by the fact they’re meant to beat the hell out of each other?
Alexis Rose: It is a bit strange that there seems to be no hesitation. Maybe they’ve accepted their fate and are going to go all out to have an amazing match.
[::As Jessica makes her way to the ring you can honestly tell by the look in her eyes this isn't a match she wants to be part of. She steps into the ring and just stares across the ring at her stablemate and someone Jessica would consider a friend as the referee rings the bell to get this hardcore match started..::]
DING! DING! DING!
Both women march to the middle of the ring and stare each other down. Charlotte asks Jessica if she’s ready, and Jessica nods then asks Charlotte if she’s ready for this. Charlotte nods and both women reach back ready for a punch. They swing forward and begin a game of rock, paper scissors. Charlotte wins it with rock over scissors, then taps Jessica on the shoulder. The Princess of Mischief goes down with an overly exaggerated fall and Charlotte quickly makes the cover. The crowd is raining boos upon the Queen’s Court members as the official looks unsure of what to do. Charlotte yells at them to count and they jump down and count the three.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, ...Charlotte Haliday!
[::Inside the ring, Charlotte helps Jessica to her feet and they embrace, pretending to have had a hard-fought drawn-out battle. Jessica raises Charlotte’s hand in victory as the crowd is furious at this spectacle.::]
Alexis Rose: Oh come on. That was absolutely ridiculous. These two have made a mockery of this business!
Monica Powers: Well now we know why both of them weren’t worried about this hardcore match.
Michael Showtime: Not so fast you two...
[::The man in charge, Michael Showtime comes up on the Tron from his office backstage shaking his head::]
Michael Showtime: You two are not getting away with this. I was told that you two might try to pull something like this. Thinking you could get one over on management and not actually have to wrestle. Just in case, I prepared a backup plan. I prepared a tag team for the two of you to face. Not just any team though. No no, you two get to face the WWR World Tag Team Champions, Azurine Vebbins and Trixie Decker. And that match starts...Right now!
DING! DING! DING!
Charlotte and Jessica are screaming at Showtime, completely oblivious to the fact that the champions have come through the crowd and slid into the ring behind them. Azurine and Trixie hit stereo dropkicks to the back of their opponents and send them out of the ring. Trixie follows with a crossbody plancha to take Charlotte and Jessica down. Trixie pulls Jessica up to her feet rolls her in and she pops up to a waiting Azurine Vebbins who plants her with a Northern Lights Suplex. Vebbins bridges right into the pin, ONE…TWO…THR- KICK OUT!
Outside the ring, Charlotte pokes Trixie in the eye, then slings her into the ring steps. Inside, Azurine is setting Jessica up for the Pearly Gatekeeper when the princess suddenly ducks as Charlotte comes in with a massive buckshot lariat. Both women are down and Charlotte runs over to her corner to get the tag. Jessica and Azurine are both crawling, Trixie is slowly pulling herself back onto the apron when Jessica makes the tag. Charlotte runs in and drops an elbow on the back of Azurine, then follows up with a quick leg drop. Charlotte pulls Azurine back towards her corner, brings her up, and hits a big suplex. Azurine starts to roll towards the neutral corner, but Charlotte just smiles. She allows Azurine to get into a seated position, then charges in and jumps for the diving double knees, only to hit ropes and turnbuckles as Azurine rolled under the bottom ropes at the last second. Azurine dropped to the floor, slid in on the other side of Charlotte, and slowly made the tag to Trixie. Trixie came in hot and hit a big running dropkick to Charlotte as she stood in the corner. Trixie followed up with a big monkey flip, then a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. Charlotte stumbled over towards her corner and Trixie let Jessica tag in. Jessica charged in with a clothesline, but Trixie ducked it and connected with a Pele kick. Trixie tagged Azurine back in and they hit Charlotte with a double back body drop as she came running in. A double superkick sent Charlotte to the outside, as Azurine pulled Jessica up. Trixie hit Jessica with a big double knee facebreaker, right into a dragon suplex from Azurine. Vebbins bridged into the pin, ONE…TWO…THRE - BROKEN UP!
Charlotte Haliday pulls the ref’s leg to break up the count, then grabs Jessica’s arm and pulls her out of the ring. They start talking a bit, Jessica nods and Charlotte flips everyone off yelling “We don’t need this crap. We already had our match. They can’t do this to members of The Queen’s Court. We’re done with these two.” Charlotte and Jessica then begin to head up the ramp as the official starts the ten count. Azurine and Trixie try to get them to stop, not wanting to win like that, but Charlotte and Jessica are already at the top of the ramp. The ref reaches ten and the bell sounds.
Arianna Grey: Your winners as a result of a count-out, The WWR Tag Team Champions… TRIXIE DECKER AND AZURINE VEBBINS!
Monica Powers: I know that they say a win is a win, but this one has to be disappointing for the tag team champions. Would Jessica Jackson have been able to kick out? Maybe, we don’t know and we don’t know how a match between these two would end because Jessica and Charlotte took the cheap way out.
Alexis Rose: I wish I could say that I’m surprised, but I’m not. These two had no intention of competing tonight and when they had some real adversity in this match, they just bailed. Hopefully, we will see that match again and they won’t have any excuse to leave, even one as flimsy as saying they already had a match.
Monica Powers: It's going to be a long night for the Court whether they like it or not...we'll be right back with more WWR Battleground right after this!
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break and we head to the back with Mayumi Tanahashi and Katrina Showtime, both smiling and happy as they chat a bit before the camera zooms in on them and they both turn to face it.::]
Katrina Showtime: Hello everyone, I have Mayumi Tanahashi here, and tonight you’re in the battle royal to decide who gets the… opportunity to team with Brittany Williams.
Mayumi Tanahashi: Yes. I do not expect the competition to be quite as… intense as the last battle royal I was in. Were this just for a shot at the tag team titles, no doubt everyone in the match would be fighting as hard as they could. The problem is, it’s an opportunity at them, by teaming up with one of the most annoying human beings on the entire planet. A woman who cheats, a woman lies, a woman who has absolutely no honor.
Katrina Showtime: So are you saying you would be okay with losing this match?
Mayumi Tanahashi: Never. As horrible of an experience as teaming with Brittany would surely be, I believe common ground could at least be found in the fact that both of us have the desire to be a champion. I am not the foundation, part of a movement or a triad, or a coalition. I spoke of this at Fatal Factions, I am a lone warrior right now and while I have seen success, recently it has not come. I look to many of those I respect. Super Tiger, Malaya, my brother, and another competitor in the battle royal. They either had some singles success or started with tag success and then broke back out or continue to have tag team success. Maybe, as excruciating as it could potentially be, this is how I get back on the winning track. My record in battle royals isn’t great. In fact, it’s pretty awful, but like every match I have, I will give it my all, I will show the world what the Sky Child is all about, and as I fly… FLY WITH ME!
[::She poses, raises her hand, stretches out two fingers, then brings them up to her forehead in a sort of salute before swinging her arm forward. She then turns to Katrina, hugs her, and then runs off, saying something about pie. The cameras shift to the backstage area and it is there we are taken to a makeshift office. Inside of the office we can see Brittany Williams sitting behind a desk. She is wearing a pair of glasses and seems to look very intellectual as she begins to look through some files. It isn’t long until there is a knock on the door and she grins as she speaks out.::]
Brittany Williams: Come in…
[::A few moments go by and that is when we can see Sarah Richardson emerging through the door. Brittany smiles as she stands up waving at Sarah.::]
Brittany Williams: Oh hello there Miss Richardson. It is good to see you, please have a seat.
[::Sarah does exactly as she is told as she smiles sliding a folder in front of Brittany. Brittany opens the folder as she smirks.::]
Sarah Richardson: Thank you so much for the warm welcome. Inside that folder you will see my resu…
Brittany Williams: NO!!!!
Sarah Richardson: Wait what did I say?!
Brittany Williams: You used the R word… I don’t want some second rate wrestling company that doesn’t know how to use their women right come at us over some stupid nonsense that we are COPYING them… So hence the word APPLCATION sounds much better. Now glancing over your application I noticed that you have been wrestling for a while now. Throughout your long career you have manage to hold two Ring of Beauty Television Championships?!
Sarah Richardson: That’s right… Pretty impressive if I do say so myself.
Brittany Williams: I see… Now to be honest it really isn’t that impressive to me. Tonight you have the chance to win the right to be my tag team partner. Now what makes you stand out?! Why should I root for you to be my partner?! After all I will be at ringside doing commentary. I could get involved and throw every other meaningless Slut out of the ring and help you win. Why should I go out of my way to do so?!
[::Sarah smirks.::]
Sarah Richardson: Well for starters we both know what it feels like to have people turn on us. Just look at your wife Halo… Instead of being supportive she chooses to root against you, and in the same token did you see how Simply Glamorous turned their back on me?! Together we could form the Glam Pack… We could make being Brats GLAMOROUS… We could take over this company and we could do whatever it takes to win. Nobody would be able to defeat us…
[::Brittany nods her head in return.::]
Brittany Williams: I see honestly that does sound pretty interesting to me. I know there are going to be people tonight who will stand in front of a camera and tell the world how they will win the battle royal and how they will do this and that. I honestly don’t want to hear that! What I want to hear is how will you appease me. How will you go out of your way to put me over. That is how you will win a match. I need somebody who will help me beat the snot out of Trixie and Azzy. I know you haven’t had a fair shake especially seeing how Allison who hasn’t amounted to anything wish to betray you for her stupid sister.
Sarah Richardson: You mean your God mother?!
Brittany Williams: Listen she can be Auntie Stephanie out of the ring but inside it’s different. I need a go getter and honestly me growing up on in the million dollar estate of Hollywood Hills paired up with a woman form Miami who puts the RICH in Richardson. I might take this under advisement. Thank you so much for all of your time.
Sarah Richardson: Thank you so much… I can’t wait for the Battle Royal tonight!
[::With that Sarah smiles as she shakes Brittany’s hand before walking out the room. We cut to Brittany’s office again and this time she smiles as she can see a blue haired beauty walking into the office. The woman seems to be that of a nerd as her hair is tied into a tight pony tail. She smirks as she slides her application in front of Brittany.::]
Brittany Williams: It’s a pleasure to meet you… I have a feeling I might actually like your application.
Christina Zdunich: You should… After all it’s definitely quite the big one. Just open it and see everything for yourself.
[::Brittany nods her head with a chuckle as she begins to read Christina’s application.::]
Brittany Williams: Let’s see ohhh 17 time World Champion?!
Christina Zdunich: Yep I just won a World Championship two weeks ago. It was actually pretty amazing on top of that I represented WWR in another company and won a rumble which means I will get another World title shot at a different promotion. Mind you I only mentioned World Championships on my application. This doesn’t account for all of the secondary championships I ever won or even tag team championships. I do have a record of winning a tag title with just about everybody I have ever teamed up with.
Brittany Williams: Now that is impressive… Honestly I don’t think it’s going to get any better than it would then teaming up with you but how can I trust that we will actually get along?!
[::Christina smiles as she begins to speak.::]
Christina Zdunich: For starters both of us have these tall blonde wives who would rather spend their time promoting everybody else but us.
Brittany Williams: Good point! Carry on…
Christina Zdunich: On top of that I think I know you better than anybody else in this company. Who else can say that they have known you for all 19 years of your life?! Who else can say that they have given birth to you… Oh that’s right only I can… I don’t need to talk myself up or what I will do to everybody in that battle royal. You already have seen what I have done throughout your life.
Brittany Williams: That is also another fair point. I already love how all of this sounds.
Christina Zdunich: Good because I am pretty amazing if you give me a chance.
[::Christina smirks as she continues to speak.::]
Christina Zdunich: Anyway I figured this might be a tough interview so I thought you should maybe call one of my references.
[::Brittany opens her eyes in amazement.::]
Brittany Williams: References?! Why not… Let me see them.
[::Brittany looks at the sheet of paper and she smiles as she picks up the landline in front of them.::]
Brittany Williams: I see this reference named Brittany Jessica Williams… Your relation to her?!
Christina Zdunich: She’s my daughter. Very sweet girl…
[::Brittany nods her head as she dials the number and all of a sudden her cell phone rings.::]
Brittany Williams: Excuse me I need to take this…
B-Brat: HELLO… Oh you are calling about my mom?!
Brittany Williams: Can she be count on as a partner?!
B-Brat: DUHHHH she’s my mom she can be annoying but…
Brittany Williams: Thank you Miss B-Brat that’s enough!
[::Brittany smirks as she looks at Christina.::]
Brittany Williams: Your application is very promising but I do have an assessment if you wish to really consider me as a partner…
Christina Zdunich: Oh and what would that be?!
Brittany Williams: While Crystal Zdunich is amazing… I don’t need a nerdy woman roaming around. I don’t this weak woman from SRT… What I need in a partner is THE OLDDDDDDDDDD CRYSTAL HILTON!!! I need the Bitch who didn’t give a fuck about anyone. I need the woman who would talk to a mirror and would tell everybody that they are beneath her… I WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT THE BOOK OF CRYSTAL HILTON READS THAT THOSE SHALL ALWAYS BOW BEFORE THE ROSE GODDESS!
[::Christina sighs in return.::]
Christina Zdunich: I…
Brittany Williams: HIT ME MOM… HIT ME WITH A TITLE BELT LIKE YOU DID WHEN YOU FIRST MET BOBBI IN THAT ONE COMPANY!!!
[::Christina can only sigh as she shakes her head and walks away as Brittany smirks.::]
Brittany Williams: GIVE ME THE OLDDDDDD CRYSTAL HILTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[::Brittany begins to laugh as the door slams as her mother leaves the office. The camera finds Jenni Taylor sitting in a director’s chair tossing flashcards onto the floor in front of her.::]
Jenni Taylor: The Chest...Crystal...Kate Steele...Jonna Austin...Layla Sheridan...Mayumi Tanahashi...Sarah Richardson...Misti Milandro...Zoe Jane…
[::As the last card falls, Jenni sits up and glances down at the scattered scraps.::]
Jenni Taylor: There’s not but one amongst this lot that really wishes to have that spot properly and that would be Brittany’s mother. The rest just want to be able to say they won this struggle to lord it over everyone else. Sarah Richardson all but said as much as she was trying to prop herself up as a singles star after the fall of her stable, which was entirely her own doing. The Chest and Kate Steele, no bloody Diamond…
[::Trailing off, Jenni shakes her head.::]
Jenni Taylor: Sorry, Love, there’s not but one Diamond in this company, and she’s not you!
[::Jeni nods and looks back to the camera as she had before interrupting herself.::]
Jenni Taylor: But the Chest and Kate Steele just want to be able to hold that victory over other’s heads the same way Brittany does with the opportunity in question. Misti, Zoe, Mayumi, Layla, Jonna, they might wish to gain victory, but do they truly wish to gain the prize of teaming with Brittany Williams?
[::Sitting back in her chair, Jenni shrugs.::]
Jenni Taylor: Not bloody likely!
[::Her right hand comes up as she almost frowns.::]
Jenni Taylor: Crystal might, but they’re so much alike that they would likely be bloody naff to each other. Be a bit unfortunate really.
[::Sitting forward, her hands fold before her across her knees.::]
Jenni Taylor: I would enjoy seeing what Brittany and I could accomplish together and I will do everything in my power to make that happen! Another bloody battle royal but this one has a different prize and sometimes, that’s all the difference necessary!
[::The cameras shift to Layla Sheridan, strumming on her guitar on a bunch of production crates. When she notices the camera crew approaching she hits a few rocking notes before stopping. She grins a bit at the camera placing her guitar pick on the crate she's resting before speaking.::]
Layla Sheridan: So yea, I won't lie. I've been quiet these last few weeks...but there's a perfectly logical reason for that...
[::Layla hops off the crates and removes the guitar strap off her shoulder and places her prized possession in the guitar case along with her pick before slamming it shut, locking it and turning to face the cameras.::]
Layla Sheridan: I REALLY don't want to win this match...
[::The rocking rookie can't help but laugh as she attempts to explain herself.::]
Layla Sheridan: Look, don't get me wrong. I'm super happy to be part of WWR and I look forward to every opportunity that comes my way in 2021, it's just that...well...
[::Layla looks down for a few moments before looking back up with a silly smirk on her face.::]
Layla Sheridan: Who in the hell would want to tag with Brittany Williams!? I mean...SERIOUSLY!?
[::You can hear the crowd laugh as they watch Layla speak on the Tron in the main part of the building.::]
Layla Sheridan: So look, I'm gonna go out there and compete tonight, but I'm not gonna be broken hearted if I don't win. Because like I said...I don't want to win. And God help the poor soul that does!
[::Layla looks over to the wall and sees the time.::]
Layla Sheridan: Well I gotta finish getting ready and go out there. Wish me luck!
[::Layla goes to walk away but stops in her tracks and turns back to the cameras.::]
Layla Sheridan: On second thought...please don't! Haha!
[::Layla gives the rock sign to the cameras and sticks her tongue out slightly before winking to the camera and leaves with her guitar case as Battleground returns to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a Who Gets To Team With Brittany Williams Invitational Battle Royale.....sponsored by Brittany Williams, to be eliminated you must be thrown over the top rope with both feet touching the floor. The winner of this match will team with Brittany Williams to challenge for the WWR World Tag Team Championships!
[::.The ten women had already entered the ring during the pre-taped segments that aired on the Tron for the live crowd as the talent made their way to the ring. This is an absolutely stacked match 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: I'm not looking forward to this at all...
Alexis Rose: I can only imagine why, probably because we have --
Brittany Williams: OH SHUT UP!!! This match is all about ME! Time to find me a new tag team partner!
DING! DING! DING!
The bell rings, and it’s every woman for themselves as a massive melee explodes in the middle of the ring. Soon enough, the women have broken off into pairs or clusters. Zoe Jane and Layla Sheridan are in one corner, teeing off on one another with brutal chops to the chest. Crystal Zdunich and Jonna Austin are exchanging strikes with one another in another corner. The Chest has Misti up against the ropes, but Milandro is fighting back with everything she’s got. Mayumi and Sarah are locked in a tie up as Diamond Steele delivers a series of European uppercuts to Jenni Taylor. The first elimination of the match comes when Jonna breaks away from Crystal in an attempt to hit the Chest with a big lariat, but the buxom beauty sidesteps the attack, shoving Jonna into Misti, causing both women to tumble over the top rope and to the floor.
Jonna Austin and Misti Milandro have been eliminated
Crystal charges at the Chest, looking for a spear which connects, sending both women crashing out to the floor, but neither is eliminated as they went through the second and top ropes. The two continue to brawl on the floor as Mayumi climbs to the top rope, leaping off to catch Jenni Taylor with a huge hurricanrana, whipping her toward the ropes. Diamond sees her coming, bending forward to execute a big back body drop to Jenni, sending her over the top rope and onto the apron. Jenni grabs the top rope as she goes over, dangling for a bit before she pulls herself back up onto the apron. Diamond moves in to finish her off, but Taylor hits a knee to the abdomen, pulling Steele over the top rope and onto the apron. Both women are in a precarious position here, but Taylor ducks a big forearm from Steele before shoving her, hard, into the ring post, causing Diamond to bounce off and fall down the stairs to the floor.
Diamond Steele has been eliminated
Jenni goes to get back into the ring, but she’s caught off guard by Zoe Jane, who hits a massive superkick on Taylor, knocking her loopy and causing her to fall backward off the apron and to the floor.
Jenni Taylor has been eliminated
Zoe celebrates for a moment before turning back toward the ring, only to get immediately blasted by a forearm by the Chest, who has since returned to the ring. Zoe fires back with a forearm of her own, and the two women begin exchanging strikes with authority! Layla Sheridan and Mayumi Tanahashi are on the outside of the melee, and the two of them look at each other, giving a subtle nod before they both move in, lifting Zoe and the Chest off their feet! Both women are struggling to keep from being eliminated, and Jane manages to shove Tanahashi off before getting her footing again. She grabs the other leg of the Chest, helping Layla Sheridan give the brunette the heave ho over the top rope and to the floor.
The Chest has been eliminated
Layla and Zoe look at one another with a nod before they just start teeing off on one another. Sarah Richardson gets a hold of Mayumi, tossing her toward the ropes before following through with a big lariat. The nimble superstar tumbles over the top rope, finding her footing on the apron. She leaps up, catching Richardson with a headscissors in an attempt to force her over the top rope. Mayumi is dangling, and Sarah is only on one foot when all of a sudden Christina slides back into the ring, running over to hook Richardson’s leg and shove both her and Mayumi over the top rope, causing the two to land in a heap on the floor.
Mayumi Tanahashi and Sarah Richardson have been eliminated
On the other side of the ring, oblivious to what’s happened, Zoe Jane has Layla up against the ropes, struggling to force her over the top. Crystal runs in, hitting a forearm to the back of Zoe’s head, dazing her long enough that Sheridan can get out of the precarious position she’s in. She turns, hitting a stiff superkick on Jane, rocking her backwards before Crystal hits a lariat, knocking the beautiful brunette over the top rope and to the floor.
Zoe Jane has been eliminated
The final two women circle, and it’s obvious Layla has been through the ringer. Crystal, for her part, looks mostly fresh despite her earlier brawl with the Chest on the floor. Crystal sprints in for a lariat, but Layla matrix evades, coming back up before turning to attack, but Zdunich scouted the evade, and she grabs Layla by the hair, slamming her knee into the back of Sheridan’s neck. Layla cries out in pain, but Crystal isn’t done yet, pulling her to her feet to Irish whip her toward the rope. Sheridan reverses, throwing Crystal into the ropes instead before charging after her. She throws a lariat with all the force she can muster, but Zdunich grabs the top rope, dropping down. Layla can’t stop in time, and her own momentum forces her to trip over Crystal and out over the lowered top rope, hitting the apron before falling to the floor.
Layla Sheridan has been eliminated
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, Crystal Zdunich!
[::Brittany Williams screams something about the old Crystal Hilton before getting out of her seat and standing on the commentary table applauding the winner as Monica ad Alexis converse.::]
Monica Powers: It was a really fun match but thank God it's over!
Alexis Rose: I hope we NEVER have to have Brittany on commentary again...
Monica Powers: What on earth did we do to deserve THAT!?
Alexis Rose: Let's not even think about that...we'll be right back with more WWR Battleground right after this!
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break as we hear the feint sound of an engine whirring on open asphalt, as Malaya's voice covered over the sound.::]
Malaya Diyosa: Speed. Precision. Two of the key components in the ring, and on the track.
[::She said, as a shot of her drifting her purple Mazda RX-7 around a corner, as she continued to speak off camera.::]
Malaya Diyosa: These have become second nature to me. Now that I am away from the Triad, I am going to leave them in my rear view mirror and never look back. It's time the era of the Monarch can truly begin.
[::She said, wrapping up the short vignette, as the screen then said MALAYA DIYOSA IN ACTION. We then head backstage, where Cappadonna and Nari Chang are with Katrina Showtime, commenting on the vignette.::]
Cappadonna: Look at this clown ass shit. We banded together to fight the racism and injustice to the Asian people... and this bitch comes out Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift! What a hypocrite!
[::She said with an agitated tone, as Nari scowled behind her.::]
Katrina Showtime: Well, tonight you face her for a shot at the Battleground Title. What are your thoughts about your former partner?
[::Nari would crack her knuckles at the thought of Malaya, as Cappadonna spoke.::]
Cappadonna: It don't matter, because she is dead to me. Malaya chose to be against us, so, I will treat her the same as the trash we face daily. She will be swiftly defeated, and then I will take the Battleground Championship for myself.
[::She said, as the two leave the scene, ready for the match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit, and it is to crown the number one contender of the WWR Battleground Championship! introducing first...
[::"California Queen by WolfMother" hits, as Malaya comes out from the back alongside Cassie Mason with a shower of Orchid petals blown in from the wind behind her. The self-proclaimed monarch of WWR makes her way toward the ring with a confident strut...::]
Arianna Grey: From Monterrey, California...being accompanied to the ring by Cassie Mason, she is...Malaya Diyosa!
Alexis Rose: It's weird to see these two going up against one another...
Monica Powers: Yea for sure, end of an era in WWR for certain!
[::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 her opponent...
[::The Triad theme "Hong Kong Krunch from the Twisted Metal 2 Soundtrack" would play, as Nari and Cappadonna would make their way to the top of the ramp, as Nari and Cappadonna would both raise their left fists in the air briefly, as they head down the ramp toward the ring as Cappadonna is ready to face off against her former teammate.::]
Arianna Grey: From Bronx, New York. Representing the Satsujin Triad, being accompanied by Nari Chang, she is...Cappadonna!
Monica Powers: I just don't get why these all couldn't have just co-existed...
Alexis Rose: Jealousy is an ugly thing, you hate to see it!
[::The Triad enter the ring and get on opposite corners, posing briefly for the crowd, as Malaya and Cassie watch on. The referee reminds all four women that this is a singles match and gets both Nari Chang and Cassie Mason out of the ring before finally calling for the bell to start this very personal match.::]
DING! DING! DING!
Malaya and Cappadonna both have their representatives in their corners, as the former allies are in the center of the ring tying up. Malaya gets Cappadonna into a side headlock, forcing her to one knee. Malaya wrenched her neck, but, Cappadonna would elbow her in the midsection, and worked in a judo style hip toss to lock in a standing armbar on Malaya, looking to weaken her for the Black Lotus.
She wrenched Malaya's arm to keep dominance, causing her to squirm and cry out in pain. She placed a knee at her back, as Malaya started to fight her way back to her feet. She stands up, and Cappadonna attempts a rip cord high kick, though Malaya ducked and gets Cappadonna into a pumphandle position. Malaya would hoist Cappadonna back with an overhead pump handle suplex, creating distance, and surprising the crowd with the quick adaptation.
With some distance created, Malaya runs in to hit Cappadonna with a shining wizard, as she goes for a cover, but, Cappadonna kicked out at 2. Malaya would get up, as she waits for Cappadonna to get up, as she runs to the ropes for a springboard stunner. Malaya bounced off the second rope and propelled herself back, but, she meets back with a dropkick to the back of the head.
Cappadonna gets up first, as she clutched Malaya, before planting her with a bridging German Suplex, but, she kicked out at two and a half. When Malaya kicked out, she immediately goes after the left arm to try and weaken her for the Black Lotus. Cappadonna wrenched the arm, contorting her for more pain, as Malaya fights to her feet. Malaya would use her free arm to give some body blows to Cappadonna to free herself, and followed up with a Northern Lights Suplex! She bridged for the cover, 1.. 2.. No! Cappadonna kicked out!
Both women get up at the same time, as Malaya runs in to clip Cappadonna with a dropkick to the knee. Setting up another attempt at the springboard stunner, Malaya runs to the ropes, however, Nari Chang would pull down the second rope to make Malaya launch herself outside, and boos from the crowd would pour onto Nari. She closed in on her former leader, until Cassie leapt in on her back, with the crowd cheering her, as she bravely fought the powerhouse of the Triad. Under all the chaos, Cappadonna goes to the outside and goes to whip Malaya into the stairs, but, it's reversed into a drop toe hold facebuster to Cappadonna, face first into the steps! Malaya would push her back into the ring, as she climbs up to the top rope, and hits her with a big diving codebreaker, which rocked Cappadonna.
Malaya gets to her feet and sets up Cappadonna, as she strikes her with a Buzzsaw Kick to the face, and pulled her in. She then readied her for her new finish and shouts out "Rude Buster!!!" before planting Cappadonna with a vicious Lightning Spiral, dunking her on the back of her head and holding the leg for a pin. 1.. 2.. 3
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, ...Malaya Diyosa!
[::Nari pulls Cappadonna out of the ring while Cassie rolls in to celebrate with Malaya.::]
Alexis Rose: Looks like Malaya will be facing the winner of Anya and Daria later on tonight!
Monica Powers: Yep! Big win for the Monarch, she looks genuinely happy. Not sure I've ever seen that before?
Alexis Rose: People can change Monica, no one is tied down to their past forever.
Monica Powers: Suppose not, but I can't help but feel like this rivalry between these four women is far from over...
Alexis Rose: I'm inclined to agree with you there, we'll be right back with more Battleground right after this.
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break and we are on a black screen before hearing a familiar voice speak…::]
Anya Lebeaux: This is it… the time for TALK is over...
[::The scene rises up. Anya Lebeaux, clad in her ring gear and full warpaint, can be seen sitting alone in a darkened corridor. She rests back against the wall, looking over at the camera, a sneer creeping onto her face.::]
Anya Lebeaux: All of the talk, all of this needless foreplay… everything that has gone on between us, Dee… it’s ending. Can you feel it? Can you feel it in the air? I keep reliving our greatest hits. Your attacks… your SURVIVAL… how it was the Princess who put your foot on the ropes when you were unable to… when you were DEFEATED. You have lied. You have stolen from me. EIGHTH COMMANDMENT… THOU SHALT NOT STEAL!
[::She lashes out, striking the wall behind her.::]
Anya Lebeaux: You don’t get how fortunate you are. You still go out there and you TALK with all of the bravado that you don’t DESERVE. Yes, you may have beaten others on your own, but you have NEVER BEATEN ME! You TALK like you have, but deep down you never have and I KNOW that eats you up inside. You see, as long as I stand and breathe, your reign is tarnished. You need tonight JUST as much as I do!
[::Anya rises to her feet, pressing her hands against the wall.::]
Anya Lebeaux: Dee, know that before, I would have taken no pleasure in what I have to do tonight. It’s through your own words… your own insistence… that pleasure ends up coming. I am going to enjoy every last moment of tonight. Every time I hit you. Every pound of pressure I squeeze you with. EVERY TIME I HEAR YOU CRY OUT IN PAIN AND AGONY I WILL RELISH! I don’t want you to BLAME the Phoenix Coalition for this match. They did what they felt was right. YOU attempted to duck me. If you had your way, you would have been successful at such. Instead tonight, we find ourselves at a fitting climax.
[::She raises her head, licking her lips as she turns to face the camera again.::]
Anya Lebeaux: I hope the rest of the Queen’s Court watches tonight. I hope they face deep despair knowing that they were COMPLETELY POWERLESS to save you. Because at the end of the night, you will know loss. You will end on your back. Tonight, your reign ends at MY hands.
[::Anya pushes herself off the wall, moving past the camera as the scene fades. Backstage, we see Katrina Showtime with Jessica Jackson and the Battleground Champion, Daria Dorsey, who has the title draped over her shoulder confidently, as she was being interviewed before her big match.::]
Katrina Showtime: Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm here with the Battleground Champion, Daria Dorsey, and Jessica Jackson of the Queen's Court. Tonight you're facing Anya LeBeaux once more, but, without Jessica at ringside. How do you feel about this circumstance?
Daria Dorsey: The Coalition are so desperate to take this belt off of me out of jealousy, when clearly no one here is able to legitimize this title like I do. Their interference is hurting the Battleground Championship's ability to flourish, regardless, they will learn that no matter the stipulation, I will retain my title against her once again, and put Anya in the rear view once and for all.
[::Jessica just stands there silent, head down. Not feeling great at all about having to stay in the back and not be at Daria's side again. This hasn't been a fun night for her to live through and she just hopes the group makes it out of the show in one piece. Daria knew she was struggling, and placed a comforting arm around Jessica's shoulder, as Katrina continued the interview.::]
Katrina Showtime: Well, you are aware of the stipulation that Jessica is not allowed at ringside for your title defense. Do you believe that will be a big factor in your bout?
[::Daria would laugh a bit in response, as she adjusted the belt.::]
Daria Dorsey: Anya is stubborn as can be. She can't accept that she isn't good enough, and while that is a hard pill to swallow, it's one she has to accept. Anya lost to me twice, and she keeps blaming poor Jessica here on her own failures.
Jessica Jackson: I wish I could be out there with you...
[::Jessica says softly before sighing to herself.::]
Daria Dorsey: I know, Jess. But, baby had to have their bottle... You know, Anya has a lot of nerve to try to say Jessica is a crutch, when I beat Mayumi Tanahashi on my own, and she is far better of a competitor. Now I have to waste my time with Anya Lebeaux one more time, and tonight I'm going to prove that I'm the best athlete on this roster!
[::She said with vitriol in her voice, as Daria goes full 80's shouty promo on her.::]
Daria Dorsey: Anya, tonight, I'm going to prove to you once and for all, that there isn't a court, field, rink, diamond, or a ring where you can beat me! I am going to plant you down into the canvas with the Caliburn Driver, and the ref can count how many times you lost to me. 1.. 2.. 3!
[::She said, as Daria and Jessica would take their leave to get ready for the 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: It's truly put up or shut up time for the challenger.
Monica Powers: I couldn't agree more. No Court, no excuses...Anya is in a must win situation tonight on Battleground!
[::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 as the champion confidently make her way to the ring..::]
Arianna Grey: Representing the Queen's Court, from Rochester, New York. She is the WWR Battleground Champion...Daria Dorsey!
Monica Powers: Here comes the ever confident champion.
Alexis Rose: Despite what you think about Dorsey or the Court, she's had an impressive reign with the title most difficult to hold in WWR, no easy feat!
[::Daria enters the ring through the middle rope as she poses for the crowd to a not so great reaction, Daria bows to the crowd before looking up with a confident smirk. Daria hands her Battleground title over to the referee, who shows the belt to the challenger before raising it up to the fans and then calls for the bell to get this title match underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
Daria would go for a test of strength with Anya to start things off, though, she suckered her in with a kick to the midsection. She would place Anya into an abdominal stretch as she gloated while putting pressure on LeBeaux. LeBeaux would try to wriggle free, as Daria sends an elbow to her ribs to punish her, as she keeps the hold on to ground her. She applies pressure, but, Anya fights back and countered into a double undertook position, giving Daria some knee lifts to her chest, and paired up with a double underhook suplex for good measure.
As Daria heads to the ropes to get up, Anya would latch in with a top rope choke, as she rabidly taunted to her. "It's mine! It's mine! And no one is coming to take it away again!" She said, causing Daria to gasp for breath, as LaBeaux holds the choke on until a 4 count, before slamming Daria's head back into the mat. Anya was in full control right now, as she pulled Daria up to the corner for some body blows. She then followed up with a shoulder thrust, and a bridging Northern Lights Suplex, but, Daria kicked out at 2 and a half, as she goes to the outside to try and recover.
Anya pursued, as outside of the ring, she had more of an advantage. She grabbed Daria's hair, as she tried to make an escape, before throwing her into the apron. She moved Daria to the steps and attempted to smash her into them face first, until Daria blocked with her leg, and then hits Anya in the bridge of the nose with an elbow strike. In retaliation, Daria gets Anya in the ring and cornered for her own body blows, as she clipped her with a big uppercut that knocked her to a seated position. Daria would run back to the opposite side, before hitting her with a cannonball senton, and attempted to pin, but, Anya kicked out at 2.
Daria would stomp at her legs, weakening them, as she goes for a single leg Boston crab as Anya would cry out. She tried to weaken her leg, but Anya crawled to the ropes and shoved Daria away. She stands up, and charged at Daria with a lariat, but, she ducked and runs to the ropes herself. Daria retaliated with a bicycle knee that busted open Anya with a big shot to the forehead. She would try to follow up with a back suplex, but, Anya rolled back and plants her with a Russian Leg Sweep. LaBeaux then would feel her cut, as she raked her blood across her face like war paint, getting a pop from the crowd.
Daria looks at her with shock, as she backed away. Anya, however, wasn't letting her get an inch, as she mounted her with a flurry of punches, and began to strangle her, as the referee makes a count, which Anya gets up and taunted while Daria gasped for breath. She sets up for the Nightmarish Hellscape, as Anya lifted Daria up, as she planted her into the canvas. The referee counts the pin. 1.. 2.. no! Daria kicked out, but, just barely.
Taunting Daria to get up, she sets up her signature jumping cutter, as the champion slowly gets up. Anya leapt up, but, Daria pushed her aside. She runs for the Arondight DDT, but, Anya catches her legs and covered her in a jackknife position, and bridged over, while the ref slides in for the pin. 1.. 2.. 3! Daria didn't kick out in time, as the bell is rung, with Anya victorious.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and NEW WWR Battleground Champion... Anya Lebeaux!
[::Daria sits up looking absolutely shocked as the referee hands Anya the Battleground Championship and raises her hand in victory.::]
Alexis Rose: We have a new champion!!!
Monica Powers: Congrats to Anya Lebeaux! She finally can call herself a champion!
Alexis Rose: The odds were even tonight and Lebeaux just got the better of the former champion tonight.
Monica Powers: Daria still looked impressive regardless. I really enjoyed that match!
Alexis Rose: You and me both, we'll be right back after this quick commercial break. Don't go anywhere folks!
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break and the camera opens upon Haylie Jo “Halo” Annis standing in the SRT dressing room apparently all by herself.::]
Halo: Yeah, I know, usually y’all’d expect to see a whole mess of people in here but right now, it ain’t about all of us. It’s about the one of us takin’ on Super Tiger for that chaos championship. Super Tiger ain’t somebody y’all can just throw into a group company serenade and hope for the best on…
[::Halo shakes her head.::]
Halo: Naw, Super Tiger done made a name for herself at such a young age that everybody should be singin’ her praises to the fuckin’ heavens. Twenty-year-old girl done climbed her a mountain or two and all that happens is y’all shrug like it happens every fuckin’ day.
[::She pauses to point to herself.::]
Halo: Well I know for a fact that ain’t the fuckin’ case. I done that in a couple other places and i know I been here for seven months and ain’t nobody treatin’ me like I even know where the mountain is much less than I know how to climb and I’m a year older than her!
[::Catching herself, Halo nods in acknowledgement.::]
Halo: Well, I spose I was...
[::She has to nod again.::]
Halo: Tonight, I’m celebratin’ like it’s still my birthday in style! I’m havin’ me a thirty minute Iron Woman match for the WWR Chaos Championship! I know Tiggy ain’t aimin’ to give me any presents so Imma have to go and take it from her and if I do, well damn, happy birthday to me!
[::She waves a finger at the camera.::]
Halo: Last time, I caught you by surprise but now, there ain’t no surprises about a damn thing. We both two young studs come into this match ready to walk the other’n on down to the woodshed proper, start cuttin’ switches and go to town until the other’n has to admit they been given’ a proper hidin’!
[::The finger points back to Halo’s own chest.::]
Halo: If you get me, Tiger, I will be woman enough to admit y’all got me but if I get you, then we see who all is woman enough to admit that I ain’t no fuckin’ joke and that my wife can shove that whole skid mark thing so far up her ass that the only skid mark around is the one comin’ from her as she bounces her career from moment of brilliance to moment of what the fuck again!
[::The hand falls away.::]
Halo: So here we go, Super Tiger. Get your switch cuttin’ tools ready and we’ll go on down to the woodshed together! Chaos Championship, here we come!
[::The scene to a beach in Cape Town, South Africa, Gina Van Zyl walks toward the camera, she's wearing a robin's egg blue bikini, her red curls bounce as she walks. She stops and looks out at the water as the camera moves in closer. She looks into the camera and smiles.::]
Gina Van Zyl: Welcome to Cape Town, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. We have it all, amazing beaches, beautiful countryside, delicious food and beautiful people.
[::She smiles and begins walking along the beach.::]
Gina Van Zyl: But I am not filming a Cape Town tourism advert. Very soon I will be making my debut in WWR, I am excited I can't wait to get in the ring. While I have already made my debut in the United States it will be my first time in Pittsburgh.
[::She stops and looms out at the water.::]
Gina Van Zyl: There are a lot of talented women in this promotion, I am sure you all know who they are so I won't be saying any names. I joined WWR because I want to face the best, my goal is ultimately to win a championship. I know it will take time.
[::Gina turns and looks into the camera.::]
Gina Van Zyl: Get ready fans of WWR, get ready management, and most importantly get ready ladies of WWR. Because soon I will be landing in Pittsburgh.
[::She turns and walks away from the camera, then stops and looks over her shoulder and speaks in her native Afrikaans.::]
Gina Van Zyl: Welkom by die vertoning (Welcome to the show)
[::She chuckles and walks away from the camera as it fades to black. With that, the cameras shift back to ringside for the next contest of the evening.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a thirty minutes Iron Woman match and it is for the WWR Chaos Championship, introducing first...
[::“Lost At 22 by Life of Agony” starts up and B-Brat walks out, smirking and twirling what looks like a long necklace as the crowd boos the second generation star. Halo follows behind her looking stoic and simply ready to go seemingly paying the boo birds no attention at all. B-Brat takes her sweet time getting to the ring making sure she milks all the attention she possibly can as she drinks everything in.::]
Arianna Grey: The challenger...From San Clemente, California. Being accompanied by Brittany Williams, she is...Halo!
Alexis Rose: Have we ever had an Iron Woman match in WWR, Monica?
Monica Powers: I don't believe so...? But I could be wrong. If I'm not Halo and Super Tiger are about to make history here tonight!
[::Halo makes her way up the steps and slips through the ropes effortlessly, Halo following right behind her. They take the center of the ring and B-Brat walks up to the ropes, flashing hand signals to the crowd as Halo stands behind her, simply raising her right fist to the sky. B-Brat steps back and smacks Halo on the belly, pointing to her as Halo simply stands tall, ready for war.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::The lights in the arena dim to near darkness as "Legends Never Die by Against the Current" begins to play through the speakers. The Tron shows Risa Saito Jackson from behind, stepping into a vault, looking around before focusing on a glass case on it's own stand in the center under a harsh light. She steps toward it, and the camera focuses to reveal the mask of Super Tiger. She opens the case, slowly, taking out the mask and pulling it onto her face, and reaching behind her head. As the camera slowly spins, the music hits the 1:04 mark, briefly showing a smiling SUPER TIGER before pyro explodes across the stage in a rainbow colored shower of sparks as Super Tiger raised on a platform from below the stage, wearing a large, billowing kimono, her arms spread wide.::]
Legends never die when the world is calling you
Can you hear them screamin' out your name?
Legends never die, they become a part of you
Every time you bleed for reaching greatness
Legends never die
[::Risa Saito Jackson turns slowly, facing the ring. She makes her way down the ramp, slowly swaying with the music, her arms going out in beautifully choreographed motions with the music. Her head sways with the tune, eyes closed as she makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. Representing the Phoenix Coalition, she is the WWR Chaos Champion, Risa Saito Jackson...The Super Tiger!
Monica Powers: The crowd loves Super Tiger and so do I, she's awesome!
Alexis Rose: She's been a great champion and this will surely be a great match!
[::Having reached ringside, Super Tiger leaps up onto the apron, turning to face the crowd with a wink and a peace sign before skinning the cat and standing in the center of the ring, throwing a hand into the air and pointing at the ceiling while looking straight up into the sky.::]
Legends never die when the world is calling you
Can you hear them screamin' out your name?
Legends never die, they become a part of you
Every time you bleed for reaching greatness
Legends never die
[::Super Tiger lowers her head, looking directly into the hardcam with a determined smile before she puts up the peace sign again and winks to the crowd before backing into her corner to await the start of the match. The referee comes over and gets the Chaos Championship from Super Tiger before walking over and showing it to Halo before showing it to the crowd and calling for the bell to get this title match underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
Halo and Super Tiger are both standing in the ring as the referee proudly raises the Chaos Championship high into the air as both wrestlers take their place in their respective corners. The bell sounds loudly and they both meet in the center of the ring. There is a shaking of hands between both women before they start to circle around one another. Super Tiger smiles as she quickly backs away from Halo before she uses her speed to sprint right towards her. She quickly does a baseball slide right through Halo’s legs, and doesn’t hesitate to kip up to her feet. She sends a dropkick to the back of Halo which causes the taller beauty to run towards the turnbuckles. As soon as she runs back it is at that moment that Tiger quickly jumps up to wrap her legs around Halo’s neck as she looks for a hurricanrana. However as she tries to bring herself down Halo isn’t swept off of her feet. Instead she manages to keep her balance as she instead lifts Tiger as high up as she possibly can and she power bombs her right to the ground. Tiger is spread eagle on the mat as she grabs at her back in pain. Halo doesn’t go for a pin though as she instead lifts up Tiger. She begins to nail her with some stiff European Uppercuts that send Tiger right to the corner.
Halo backs away and she quickly does a handspring as she goes for an elbow trying to nail Tiger in the corner. Tiger however jumps up as Halo hits nothing but the empty corner. Tiger grabs a hold of Halo’s head as she quickly flips over her and nails a Diamond Dust. Halo is planted straight into the mat as Tiger begins to feel the electricity of the crowd. She quickly kips up to her feet as she waits patiently for Halo to make it back to her feet. Halo takes some time but eventually she is on her feet. As soon as she is standing that is when Tiger sends a vicious roundhouse kick that connects with Halo’s temple. Halo staggers for a bit and that is when Tiger grabs a hold of Halo and slings her to the mat with an arm drag.
Halo is taken to the floor. She struggles to get back up and that is when Tiger grabs Halo by the neck tucking her underneath an arm before she drops her to the mat with a very powerful ddt. Halo is knocked out and Tiger smiles as she looks at the top of the ropes. She doesn’t hesitate as she quickly jumps to the very top of the ropes. She signals and leaps off going for her Fight of the Tiger MKII. The Double Rotation Moonsault connects flush as she remains on top of Halo for a pin fall. The referee drops down and makes a count. One….Two….Three!!!
Tiger picks up the first fall of the match. She begins to celebrate as the referee raises her hand in the air. She gives Halo some space as the taller beauty is allowed to get to her feet. She shakes herself off a bit before she finally makes it onto her feet. Halo is finally on her feet and the referee signals for the bell. Halo looks over at Tiger who tries to pick up some speed again as she runs right after the taller woman. Out of nowhere Halo nails Super Tiger with a Black 13 Claymore kick that sends Tiger straight to the mat. Halo turns Tiger over as she hooks a leg for the pin. One…Two…Three!!!
Halo has picked up this fall with an out of nowhere kick and now things are tied up as both wrestlers are on their feet. Tiger glances at the clock and decides not to rush into things this time around as she keeps her eyes locked on Halo. Tiger decides to engage into a test of strength which proves to be a mistake with the taller beauty. They go to lock up with one another as Halo easily overpowers the Japanese woman. Tiger however quickly slams some knees upwards into Halo’s stomach causing a break. She follows up by delivering some vicious open palm strikes which hit Halo as hard as possible. It isn’t that long before Tiger takes things to the top of the turnbuckle. She leaps off of them with a meteora that connects sending Halo right down to the ground. She remains on top of her for a pin. One…Two…Kickout.
Halo is able to quickly get up of the move as she angrily pounds on the mat in frustration to make it back to her feet. Tiger quickly scoops Halo up for a flash pin. One…Two…Kickout.
Halo is able to easily get out of the hold as she gets back on her feet. Tiger quickly steps behind Halo who is finally back on a vertical base. She wraps her arms tightly around her waist as she goes for a German Suplex but Halo is able to fire an elbow backwards catching Tiger right in the head. Halo shows off some of her own flexibility as she delivers a pele kick nailing Tiger right in the head. Tiger is in a daze as Halo turns around and grabs a hold of Tiger wrapping her arms around her for a belly to belly.
Tiger lands on her feet and she quickly steps behind Hal. She has Halo set up looking for her Starlight Express She is about to bridge back but Halo fires a sharp elbow. That causes a break. Tiger is in a daze and Halo quickly nails Tiger with a Black 13. Tiger goes down as Halo hooks a leg for the pin. One…Two…Three!!! Halo gets up looks to continue her momentum but the bell rings signaling the end of the thirty minute match.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and NEW WWR Chaos Champion... Halo!
[::Halo can’t believe it as she is in shock. She rises to her feet and the referee has the Chaos Championship and hands it to her. Halo clutches it and raises it high. Halo’s wife Brittany quickly enters into the ring. She stares at Super Tiger before she turns her attention to her wife. There is some tension but she actually hugs her wife tightly planting a kiss on her lips as she raises her hand. The crowd cheers Halo on as Halo looks over at Super Tiger. Tiger struggles to her feet. Halo extends a hand and the two of them shake it as they raise each other’s hands into the air. Brittany seems disgusted as Tiger leaves the ring, leaving Halo to celebrate some more.::]
Alexis Rose: Another new champion tonight!? Wow!
Monica Powers: This has been a crazy show!
Alexis Rose: Congrats to Halo on her Chaos title win...I wonder what's next for Super Tiger?
Monica Powers: I'm sure she'll land on her feet. I'm not at all worried about her. We'll be right back with more WWR Battleground right after this!
[::We go to the back where Katrina Showtime is standing beside 1/3rd of the WWR Six-Woman Tag Team Champions, Juliana Mendoza, clad in a gold silk robe over her usual boots, knee pads, and stockings, her title wrapped snugly around her waist.::]
Katrina Showtime: Welcome back to WWR Battleground, I am with Juliana Mendoza of The Beautification...
[::Juliana holds her hand up and snatches the mic away from Katrina.::]
Juliana Mendoza: That is THE Beautification Movement. It is imperative that you stress the THE! We are the one, the only, the original, the best, there may be others like us, but none are us. None of them are THE most talented, THE most beautiful, and THE absolute best looking champions in the entirety of professional wrestling. Try it again.
[::Juliana hands the mic back to Katrina and gives her a smug smirk before she reminds her to emphasize the THE..::]
Katrina Showtime: I am with Juliana Mendoza of THE Beautification Movement.
[::Katrina rolls her eyes a bit and there’s a little more sass in her introduction than there normally is.::]
Katrina Showtime: So why are THE only one here right now? Where are THE other members of THE Beautification Movement? Little falling out after losing at Fatal Factions? Cayla upset that you and The Chest used the same moves that you and her use so often.
[::Now it is Juliana that rolls her eyes as she laughs a little bit. She looks at Katrina, shakes her head, and sighs before she leans in to answer the question.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Just be quiet Katrina. There is absolutely no strife or animosity amongst the members of THE Beautification Movement. Milana and Cayla had an important matter to attend to, so I am handling things like mandatory autograph sessions, VIP meet and greets, talking to twits who only have a job because their brother owns the company, questions about what color pyro we want tonight, or if we wanted white chocolate or dark chocolate dipped strawberries tonight when everyone knows that we enjoy milk chocolate dipped, drizzled with white chocolate, dark chocolate, and a little caramel. We’re champions, and we are allowed to be decadent after a title victory.
Katrina Showtime: Going to ignore that one thing, and move on. You are as confident as always, but your team lost at Fatal Factions while Bobbi’s team won, and won in Wargames.
Juliana Mendoza: Yes, because winning a four on four barbaric cage match totally makes you worthy of a six-woman tag team title match? Your idiot brother might have made it official because he can’t handle some constructive criticism from a strong capable intelligent beautiful woman, but they’re the ones who asked for it in the first place. They decided that even though they have few if any victories as a trio, they’re somehow worthy to challenge the greatest trio in this company? The first, last and ONLY WWR Six Woman Tag Team Champions? And yes, I mean only. There is not a trio in this company that can take these belts from us. Certainly, not one that had to gift themselves a title match, while still recovering from that absolutely disgustingly barbaric match they were recently in.
Katrina Showtime: Bobbi Jackson is a former World champion, even if her reign was brief. Bobbi’s Angels are the former tag team champions, and they beat a team that you and Cayla weren’t able to.
Juliana Mendoza: Stop kissing their asses. Those are singles and duo’s accomplishments, not accomplishments as a trio. Wargames, that was a quartet. What have those three done together in WWR to even earn a non-title match against us. They should have to get through at least two trios of our choosing. In fact, After we win tonight, I want to establish a little rankings system for the trios titles. Whicher trio we have most recently beat, you go to the bottom of the list. New trios, you start at the bottom of the list. If you manage to make it to number one and beat us in a non-title match, then you can have a title match at some point in the next three shows, which will be chosen at our discretion.
Katrina Showtime: I don’t think you can do that.
Juliana Mendoza: You don’t? Well too bad. I think your brother owes us this for putting us in this situation tonight in the first place. As well as allowing obviously biased officials to continue to officiate our matches, throw out our manager, call for disqualifications with zero proof, fast count against us in order to split us apart at Fatal Factions, and many more egregious actions that have been perpetrated upon our persons and our organization. All while we bring in advertising, merchandise, and apparel dollars in extravagant quantities. He may be petty, but there’s no way he’s dumb enough to truly piss us off and lose out on one of the biggest draws this entire company has, especially within the male demographic. Now, run along now. I no longer need you. I have a bottle of Fine and a nigiri plate arriving for me in five minutes.
[::Juliana motions for Katrina to head off, which gets another eye roll and a headshake before Katrina shrugs and heads off, Juliana turning to leave immediately after, making sure Katrina walked away first. The cameras cut to the Phoenix Coalition's locker room, Bobbi is pacing back and forth nervously ahead of their match with the Beautification Movement for the WWR Six Woman Tag Team titles. Carmen and Giselle watch their dear friend pace from the couch, sensing a bit of nervous energy coming from the Phoenix as they try to get her to focus.::]
Carmen DeVega: Come on, Bobbi. You need to chill. You're letting the Beautification Movement get in your head. We took on the COURT.
[::Giselle nods in agreement.::]
Giselle Anderson: We ARE taking them on at their own game, but we ARE ready for it, you helped make sure of that.
[::Bobbi stops dead in her tracks as she turns to face the duo.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Oh? Sorry! So sorry! No no no, I'm okay for this match. I'm ready to go. I'm just thinking about the main event. Wondering how it's going to go...wondering if we selected the right match, sorry. Just overthinking things....as usual!
[::Giselle stands up and comes over, placing a hand on Bobbi's shoulder.::]
Giselle Anderson: There's not much more we could've done, we handed them the tools to tear themselves down, now we just have to wait and see how it goes.
Carmen DeVega: I for one think you picked the EXACTLY right bait to dangle for 'em, I think it'll have them about as hungry for blood as we can get them.
[::Bobbi kinda shrugs slightly but nods in agreement with her tag team partners, two people she's known practically her entire life.::]
Bobbi Jackson: One can only hope! Well either way, on the bright side we can bring some gold home tonight after we whoop the Beautification Movement's asses. This has been a LONG time coming!
[::Both Angels smile and nod as Carmen stands up too.::]
Carmen DeVega: Too long have they made the Six Woman Tag division look bad with their dirty tactics.
Giselle Anderson: They are MORE than due for us to rain some heavenly punishment down upon them.
Bobbi Jackson: I was happy to beat them in a non-title match and quote on quote earn our title shot but they pissed off the boss and gave us a title match instead. Heh, no complaints...Let's go get some gold!
[::Bobbi grabs each one of the Angels hands and leads them out of the locker room as WWR Battleground goes back to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit, and it is for the WWR Six Woman Tag Team Championships! Introducing first...
[::"The Phoenix by Fall Out Boy" hits the PA Speakers as Bobbi Jackson hits the stage with Carmen and Giselle as the three women pose on the stage while fire shoots off on the sides of the stage as the trio makes their way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: The challengers...Representing the Phoenix Coalition, the team of Bobbi Jackson, Carmen DeVega, and Giselle Anderson!
Monica Powers: Already two title changes here tonight, are we about to get a third?!
Alexis Rose: Judging by this crowd reaction, they certainly want to see it! Lets see what happens!
[::Bobbi gets into the ring as Carmen and Giselle follow and each jump on a turnbuckle as Bobbi stands between them and the three pose again for the crowd who are cheering for the trio loudly read to see the Beautification Movement finally get what's coming to them.::]
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!
Monica Powers: Looking as cocky as ever...
Alexis Rose: You can't be surprised, it's pretty much how they live their lives 24/7.
[::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. ::]
DING! DING! DING!
Juliana strides across the ring over to Carmen, who raises an eyebrow and yanks her head back just in time to evade a slap across the face. Mendoza follows it right up with a chop across Carmen's chest though, then grabs her arm, going for an Irish Whip to get her to the opposite corner, but Carmen drops into a slide to skid to a stop and come charging right back at Juliana to grab her head while running right up the ropes and around her, kicking off the ropes to hit a Tornado DDT. Juliana is crafty enough to see it coming though and grab onto the ropes to yank herself free from the Speed Star's grip so Carmen lands in a tumble, both women smirking confidently as they square off.
They lock up and go into a series of takedowns, Armdrags and quick pin attempts until Juliana grabs Carmen's head and somersaults forward to drag her along in a Rolling Snapmare, coming up on one knee with arm reaching out for a tag, which Cayla eagerly accepts, leaning back to pull the top rope taunt before slingshotting herself over it to slam her shoulder into the seated Latina and lay her out. Cayla flips Carmen over and grabs a hold around her waist, lifting her off the canvas in a Wheelbarrel position and swinging her up and over to smash her into the turnbuckles. Milana reaches out to her, eager to get in on shutting up the mouthy Angel, and Cayla tags her in, showing their team work as they keep super fresh as they wear the Speed Star down.
Radek pulls DeVega to her feet by her arm, then twists around, bringing her hips under Carmen's as she flips her over a shoulder with an Ipponseonage, Carmen's body bouncing a bit from the whiplashing impact. Milana smirks and gestures for Carmen to rise while she gyrates her wrist, fist clenched and ready, and as Carmen gets to her feet the High-Fashion Assassin pivots in place, bringing her fist around in a Spinning Backfist aimed right at her foe's temple. At the last moment Carmen ducks her head down and kicks both legs back in a Donkey Kick that sends Milana staggering backward while Carmen lands in a tumble, then flings herself at her team's corner, slapping the reaching out hand of Giselle Anderson.
Giselle charges across the ring and slams her shoulder into Milana to just blast her off her feet. She drags the former runway model up and stuffs her head between her thighs, grabbing hold around her waist, but before she can lift her for a Piledriver the rest of the Beautification Movement catch her attention and distract her long enough for Radek to slip free and scamper through Giselle's legs on all fours to tag herself out. Cayla again slingshots herself in, but Giselle bends her knees to surge in under her, catching her in mid-air before pivoting around and slamming her down in a Spinebuster. Giselle goes to cross up Cayla's legs, but she sees the Texas Cloverleaf coming and kicks her away, sending Anderson stumbling backward into the ropes. Giselle smirks though as she bounces back off the ropes and as Cayla sits up Giselle jumps on her, slamming her great big butt on her chest to drive her right back down in a Seated Senton.
Giselle smirks as she stands up and gives her round ass a slap, much to the delight of the crowd, then circles around, ready to give Cayla another one as soon as she sits up, but instead Juliana snatches hold of her hair and yanks her back by it, both her and Milana grabbing at the blond Angel's arms to hold her still. Giselle struggles free and swings at them, both Beautification Movement members hopping off the apron to avoid her attacks, and before she can turn back to the legal woman Cayla clobbers her from behind with a forearm to the back of her head. The Siren of Violence reaches over the stunned blonde's shoulders, grabbing her wrists and crossing Giselle's arms across her throat before she kicks her feet up and drops down sharply, yanking Giselle along to slam the back of her head down. Cayla hooks a leg for a pin as she stacks Anderson up. One... Two...
Giselle kicks out, groaning as she gets up to a knee, a hand on the back of her head. Milana tags back in and looking to press their advantage she slides an arm around Giselle's neck, then wraps her legs around the kneeling Curvacious Cowgirl's body, looking to lock in her finishing Guillotine Choke. Before she can cross her ankles and lock the hold in though Giselle grabs the Czech-born beauty's legs and pushes them up and over as she surges to her feet, flinging Milana overhead in a Back Body Drop and right onto her team-mates, sending the lot of them tumbling off the apron. Giselle rubs her throat as she heads back to her corner and tags in an eager Carmen, who dashes at the ropes, bounces off, building momentum, hits the ropes opposite to where the Beautification Movement are picking themselves up and again comes running faster still before flinging herself through the ropes to slam into the three of them in a Topé Suicida and knock them right back down.
Carmen tosses their legal opponent back in the ring and slides in as well, going over to tag in Bobbi as the crowd cheers excitedly. She goes over and grabs Milana's head, pushing it between her thighs before she goes to hook her arms for the Phoenix Landing, but Milana again sees her salvation through a blonde's legs, hurriedly crawling forward. This time Bobbi is ready for it through as she instead grabs the brunette's legs, pulling them up and crossing them over her thigh as she locks in the Trial by Fire. Milana shrieks in pain and her team mates waste no time rushing into the ring to break up the hold, Clotheslining Bobbi down together. The Angels aren't about to put up with that and rush into the ring, the referee hurrying to keep the two teams apart as the Beautification Movement use the chance to pull Milana along to their corner so as soon as the referee has the Angels back on the apron they tag Cayla back in.
Bobbi comes right at her, unleashing a barrage of blows that forces Cayla on the defense, backing her up step by step 'till she grabs her by the arm and whips her into the ropes, pivoting in spot and swinging an arm at Cayla's throat in a Discus Clothesline. The Siren of Violence has the wherewithal to duck under the oncoming arm though, slipping under it as she reaches under Bobbi's arms to lock in a Full Nelson for her Phoenix Down suplex, but Bobbi wrenches an arm free before Cayla can clasp her hands to lock the hold in. Bobbi twists around as she reaches through Cayla's legs, hoisting her across her shoulders and dropping down sideways to drive her down on the back of her head in a Death Valley Driver. Bobbi keeps her arm hooked around Cayla's leg for a pin. One... Two...
But Juliana breaks the pin with a kick to Bobbi's back, raising her hands and slowly backing up while the referee tells her to get out of the ring while she glances past the ref to see Milana drag Bobbi to her feet by her hair, then yank back on it to slam her back first across a knee in a Backbreaker. The illegal members of the Beautification Movement smirks and exits the ring, but Carmen has had enough of their shenanigans as she runs right across the ring and dives through the ropes, grabbing Milana's head and tucking it under her arm as she swings her legs around and plants the High-Fashion Assassin's skull into the mats outside the ring with a Tornado DDT, the crowd gasping in unison.
Juliana stares daggers at Carmen while Bobbi and Cayla are getting up. She gestures at Cayla, who nods and grabs Bobbi by the arm, whipping her toward the ropes where Juliana grabs her signature bottle of perfume, looking to spritz it right in Bobbi's face to blind her, but the Phoenix drops into a slide right through Juliana's legs at the last moment and the spray of perfume wafts through the air over to the referee, who gets some in their eye and rubs at it in pain as they glare at Juliana standing on the apron, perfume in hand. The referee calls for the bell to end the match in a disqualification.
Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, by result of a disqualification... The Phoenix Coalition!
[::Bobbi pleads with the referee not to disqualify the champions but its too late, what's done is done. And although the Coalition won the match, the Beautification Movement escape with their championships as the crowd boos in disappointment.::]
Monica Powers: Well that freaking sucked!
Alexis Rose: The Beautification Movement got caught but at the same time got rewarded by keeping their titles...
Monica Powers: Something needs to be done about this!
Alexis Rose: I'm sure WWR Management is watching, we'll see where things go from here. But for now...we got to take a quick commercial break! We'll be right back folks!
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial and opens backstage. In the background is the WWR banner hanging on the wall, Diamond is standing in front of that. The Goddess of the Cage Championship is wrapped proudly around her waist. She is all smiles as she prepares to speak to the camera. ::]
Diamond Caldwell: Do you know what’s impressive? Holding a championship for a calendar year. Do you know how hard that is? Especially in this company. Women’s Wrestling Revolution has always been on my radar. The timing for me to come here wasn’t ideal, until it was. One of the standout women who caught my eye is Eliza Frost. Back then she was a member of The Queen’s Court. Pretty headstrong. Wanted nothing more than to etch her name in the record books. By my estimation she has done just that. Assuming she makes it to the 27th of this month still Revolutionary Champion; that is one full calendar year, she is already the longest reigning champion in company history, already impressive, She overcame Envy, no small feat. We share that in common. The wrong Frost is the World Champion, why not Eliza?
[::The Goddess of the Cage Champion pauses to allow her complimentary words to sink in.::]
Diamond Caldwell: Mrs. Frost is impressive in more ways than one. So am I.
[::Diamond points proudly at herself.::]
Diamond Caldwell: You’ve heard me rattle off how long I have gone unpinned, never submitting or getting knocked the hell out for eight months now? Heh. I lost count. As impressive as my streak is, as momental as beating Envy Eliis was, I can’t afford to settle. Sure, I could have given someone else the opportunity to challenge me for the Goddess of the Cage Championship, heard Zoe wishes to step up to the plate. My issue is most of you don’t stand out. How many of you are desperate enough to grab the glass ring. How many of you are driven enough to become a superstar like me, like Envy, like Eliza?
[::Diamond pauses allowing her question to linger.::]
Diamond Caldwell: I was looking for someone to scream I fucking want this. Fatal Factions, no one did. I stood in that ring in the main event, with Envy, was Crystal, with Eliza. The four of us stood tall. We are the women who have been making noise for months. I don’t want to hand out Goddess of the Cage Championship matches to so so rans. Anyone who stands in that cage with me needs to be dynamic. Needs to be worthy. Eliza, there is no one in this company more worthy than you. That’s why this match is happening. The reality doesn’t escape me that I could walk away with nothing. That’s the risk I am take; why, betting on myself is what I do. Are you, Eliza? When you lose Eliza, you will be comforted with the knowledge that you are the Revolutionary Champion. BUT you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can be touched. By me.
[::Diamond confidently smirks.::]
Diamond Caldwell: I am so confident I can touch the untouchable, if... no... when I win. If Mr. Showtime believes I am worthy enough to challenge you for your championship sometime in the future, I don’t need the glory of being a double champion. I will go to Mr. Showtime, hand him the Goddess of the Cage, let’em know it’s been real, the championship that you hold Eliza, that is my next step to become a World Champion. Beating the untouchable, putting that on my resume would be impressive. I have bet on myself my entire life, I haven’t lost a bet yet. When the world ask you Eliza who’s dat girl who whooped your ass, let’em know that Diamond was dat girl.
[::Diamond winks. She walks off camera as the scene fades and the camera shifts to the WWR Revolutionary Champion, Eliza Frost. She runs her fingers through her hair, her shapely hips swaying a bit before she lets her hair cascade down her shoulders and back.::]
Eliza Frost: Goddess of the Cage, eh? As much as someone just CALLING themselves a goddess, or a monarch or a queen is, in my opinion, incredibly pretentious...
[::She pauses to smirk and let that statement sink in a bit.::]
Eliza Frost: ...it's a different matter to earn and defend such a moniker. Diamond has definitely shown that she deserves it. Unfortunately for her, ambition has driven her to dip her toe into dangerous waters in challenging me.
[::The shapely beauty places her hands on her hips.::]
Eliza Frost: She thinks that she can break my streak of wins, that being in her element within the cage is enough to level the playing field... but you'll soon learn that wherever I set foot becomes my territory.
[::She runs a hand over the title plate of the WWR Revolutionary championship belt wrapped around her waist.::]
Eliza Frost: You haven't trapped me in the cage with you, you've trapped yourself in there with me. And that will be a costly miscalculation as I claim the Goddess of the Cage championship and go on to show you just how it's done as the NEW goddess within that structure.
[::With a wink she blows a kiss at the camera.::]
Eliza Frost: It's time to put a Diamond on ice. And I KNOW who will crack first.
[::Eliza turns, her hips swinging from side to side like a pendulum as she heads toward the ring and the challenge that awaits her. WWR Battleground heads back to ringside for the next match of the evening.::]
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...
[::"Bootylicious by Destiny's Child" plays over the PA Speakers as the spotlights are aimed at the top of the ramp as Eliza comes sashaying through the curtains, her curvy hips swaying with each step as she makes her way to the cage, the WWR Revolutionary Championship slung proudly over the brunette's shoulder...::]
Arianna Grey: The challenger...From Montreal, Canada. She is the WWR Revolutionary Champion...Eliza Frost-Showtime!!
Alexis Rose: We should note that Eliza's Revolutionary title isn't on the line tonight...
Monica Powers: True, this isn't a title for title match, but that would have been cool!
[::Eliza meanwhile is seen shaking a finger of denial at fans reaching out to her. She walks up the steel steps onto the apron, then steps into the cage structure. Her hands glide along her shapely body and she turns to the camera, winking while sliding her fingers through her hair and letting it cascade back down before glancing across arena to the stage waiting on 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: Diamond made this challenge following the pay-per-view much to the shock of WWR Management and the Coalition!
Alexis Rose: Yeah, I don't think anyone was expecting this and on any other night this would be closing the show but we have a World title match tonight, I'm sure these two are going to try and steal the show regardless!
[::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!
Eliza and Diamond are both in the ring as they glare at one another. Both champions keep their eyes locked on one another as a bell sounds. The two of them begin to trash talk one another but Diamond shouts that this is her cage. Eliza doesn’t pay any attention to that as she grabs Diamond by the hair. Diamond however pushes Eliza off of her as she slaps Eliza as hard as she can in the face. Eliza grabs at her face in shock and it isn’t long before she sprints towards Eliza spearing her to the mat. She begins to nail her with constant lefts and rights. Diamond covers up but the woman from Compton pushes Eliza off of her before she makes it back to her feet.
Diamond actually cracks a wicked grin and it is at that moment that Diamond clotheslines Eliza to the mat. Eliza hits the mat with a thud and that is when Diamond helps Eliza to her feet. She tucks Eliza’s head underneath an arm as she looks for a suplex but Eliza places a foot in between Diamond’s legs to block the attempt. Eliza begins to punch Diamond in her kidney to get her to break the attempt. She scoops Diamond up before slamming her hard with a scoop slam. She smiles looking down at Diamond as she positions herself and nails a Snow Storm, standing moonsault to a double knee drop right across Diamond’s gut.
Diamond screams as she reaches for her chest in pain. Eliza drops down to the ground and slithers herself on top of Diamond as she works her over in a very tight body scissors. The GOTC champ seems to be in trouble as she begins to scream. The referee runs over and asks Caldwell if she wants to quit but she refuses to do so. Diamond begins to show off her strength as she manages to bring herself to her feet. Eliza is still holding onto Diamond. Caldwell backs up and rams Eliza right against the cage. Eliza finally let’s go and that is when Diamond backs away and nails Eliza hard with a running forearm smash that causes Eliza to fall to the ground. Frost is holding at her face in pain as Diamond helps her back up.
Diamond grabs a hold of Eliza and lifts her high into the air before dropping her back down with a thunderous suplex. Eliza is on the floor reaching for her back in pain. It isn’t long before Diamond runs towards Eliza as she jumps into the air and nails a leg drop right across Frost’s neck. Frost is hurting as she reaches for her neck in pain. Diamond Helps Eliza up to her feet. She steps behind her looking for a german suplex. Eliza however is able to break out of the hold. She turns around and nails Diamond hard with a stiff kick to the gut.
Eliza grabs Diamond and immediately plants her into the mat with a snap DDT. Diamond rolls on the ground clutching at her head in pain and Eliza drops down on top of Diamond and places her into a tight STF. She continues to pull back as hard as she can and the referee checks her over asking if she gives up.
Diamond refuses to quit as she begins to shake her head. She fights out of the move and Eliza decides to let go of the hold. They both slowly make it up to their feet as they look at one another. Almost in unison they begin to sprint towards one another and they both go for a jumping hip attack at the same exact time. They both hit one another as both of their butts collide in the middle of the air and it sends them both down to the mat.
The crowd roars the Champions on as Eliza makes it to her feet first, she grabs Diamond by her ponytail as she's staggering to her feet and throws her head first into the cage. Caldwell falls down onto her ass dazed as the curvy brunette grins and rushes in with a running hip attack slamming her big ass into Diamond's face as it bounces off the steel. The Revolutionary Champion doesn't stop there and begins to slam her hips into Caldwell's skull over and over again just rattling it against the structure of the cage. The referee can see that Caldwell isn't properly defending herself and in order to avoid a potential serious injury, calls for the bell to award the match to the challenger.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and NEW Goddess of the Cage Champion... Eliza Frost-Showtime!
[::Eliza grins and shakes her ass a bit for the crowd as the referee raises her hand in victory before heading over to the door as the time keeper hands the referee both titles as they go over and hand them to the curvy brunette who raises one up with each hand.::]
Alexis Rose: Another title change tonight! Holy shit, this feels like a pay-per-view!
Monica Powers: Is Eliza now the Revolutionary Goddess?
Alexis Rose: I have no idea what she's going to call herself but this will probably inflate her ego quite a bit!
Monica Powers: It was a hell of a fight, but I think the referee made the right call stopping the fight, Diamond wasn't defending herself...
Alexis Rose: Well hopefully she's okay... We'll be right back with the WWR World Championship match right after this!
[::WWR Battleground returns from its final commercial break of the evening where we see the WWR World Champion, Dominique Frost, who is lacing up her tall boots, her foot on a chair so she doesn't need to bend over to do it. She tall beauty looks up from her task to regard the camera's presence.::]
Dominique Frost: Big things on the line tonight. I suppose to someone not privy to the inner workings of the Court they may regard Susan as simply a figurehead or something, but I know very well how she has her fingers in everything. And while she's certainly done her part to guide us to success... I don't think her efforts have been as instrumental as she'd have others believe... or maybe as she believes herself.
[::She ties the ends of the laces, then tucks the knot into her boot.::]
Dominique Frost: In trying to shatter the Court those Phoenix Coalition buffoons have actually given us an opportunity to turn this ship around to even greater glory and less fumbles like at Fatal Factions. I will take the reigns and instead of plummeting we will rise even higher above the common plebeians, even the Coalition and their ilk who would think themselves a match for us.
[::Dominique stomps her foot down, a determined look on her face.::]
Dominique Frost: No more miscalculations, no more half-baked plans that just rely on our superior talent, no more room for error. In their eagerness to see us undone Bobbi and her minions will soon have instead crowned a new Queen for the Court and doomed themselves to suffer under my reign like they never have before.
[::She points an accusing finger at the camera.::]
Dominique Frost: YOU are to blame for what comes next. Now it is time for me to ascend to my throne.
[::With that she brushes past the cameraman, almost knocking him down as the camera's view goes dark. The cameras cut to The Suplex Queen who is also finishing her preparations for tonight's main event.::]
Susan Rigger: So, Bobbi and those cronies of hers think that they can mess with MY Court this easily? They think we're just looking for an excuse to sink our fangs into one another's necks. Hah, they know NOTHING.
[The Suplex Queen is pacing back and forth in her locker room.::]
Susan Rigger: Ours is an allegiance forged in fire and tempered with discipline, we aren't some fools who will throw away the bonds of friendship and camaraderie we've built up just because we're in a match against one another. I won't be giving a slapdash performance, of course. I am, after all, me.
[::She smirks as she flicks her wavy brown hair over her shoulder.::]
Susan Rigger: How could a true Queen like myself deliver anything less than perfection? Regardless, we both know that at the end of the evening the Queen's Court will stand, strong as ever, on an unbreakable foundation. As much as you vermin attempt to chew away, it will not give and neither will we.
[::Placing her hands on her hips, she gives a determined nod.::]
Susan Rigger: We are the Queen's Court and we WILL rule over WWR now and for GOOD. And there is NOTHING you can do about it, Coalition scum. You or ANYONE else. It's time we bless this crowd with a glimpse of the utter excellence that only we are capable of, a rare treat for them indeed. Gaze upon us in wonder and despair in the knowledge that you will NEVER be as good as us.
[::A cocky smirk playing across her lips, Susan heads toward the ring as the view fades out and returns to ringside for the main event of the evening.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is your main event of the evening with a sixty-minute time limit, and it for the WWR World Championship! Introducing first...
[::The lights in the arena dim save for over the stage as "Bite the Dust by the Pussycat Dolls" plays over the PA Speakers while Susan Rigger bursts through the curtains, head tilted back a bit as she looks along her nose at the fans and walks down the ramp her focus on the task in front of her as she makes her way to the ring...::]
Arianna Grey: The challenger, From London, England. Representing the Queen's Court, she is The Suplex Queen...Susan Rigger!!
Monica Powers: I know these two women claim there will be no hard feelings once this match is over but I don't believe them...
Alexis Rose: Neither do I, a lot of ego here between these two women and I think regardless of who wins there are going to be some hurt feelings when this is all over.
[::The aisle way getting lit as Susan makes her way down it and as she 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 before looking up at the ramp awaiting the arrival of her opponent and stablemate...The WWR World Champion, Dominique Frost.::]
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 with the WWR World Championship on her shoulder. She stops to scan the crowd with her gaze before heading down the ramp, hips swaying side to side with each step...::]
Arianna Grey: From Montreal, Canada. Also representing the Queen's Court, she is the WWR World Champion...Dominique Frost!
Monica Powers: Will Susan Rigger become a two time WWR World Champion tonight or will Dominique Frost take over the Queen's Court?
Alexis Rose: Well when you put it that way...either way we lose!
[::As Dominique arrives at the ring she reaches up to grab the second rope, hauling herself up as she steps right up onto the apron, then tosses a long leg over the top rope, stepping right over it as she pushes it down a bit to make the step easier. She walks across the ring and goes to climb the corner... but then dismissively gestures at the effort, instead turning around and placing her hands on her hips. The crowd volume rises with anticipation as Dominique and Susan lock eyes. The referee stands between them as Dominique hands the referee the championship. The two members of the Court exchange a handshake as the referee holds the title up in the air to show the crowd before calling for the bell to get this title match underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
Susan and Dominique shake hands, though the shake seems quite stiff, their smiles looking forced. Regardless, they break off cleanly before locking up in the middle of the ring, Dominique's superior height giving her an easy leverage advantage as she forces Susan backward. The Suplex Queen digs her heels in and stiffens her knees to block Dominique's easy pushing briefly, only long enough go goad her into a harder shove, at the exact moment of which Susan bends her knees and as Dominique's balance is briefly thrown off the crafty Britt slips behind her and grabs a hold around Dominique's waist. She goes to lift the tall blonde off her feet, but Dominique's long limbs flailing and her hurried attempt at catching her early mean Susan's posture isn't quite right and she's forced to let Dominique back down.
Dominique swings back her elbow as she twists around, looking to just decapitate Susan with it, but the buxom Britt ducks her head down in time and slips it under Dominique's arm as she thrusts her hips up under the taller woman's and arches her back to take her over with a Northern Lights Suplex, maintaining the picture perfectly bridged position for a pin. One...
Dominique kicks out before even the second count though, not in any mood to be laying about in a pin. Susan maintains her hold on the tall woman though, working her way around her to hold her in a waistlock from behind as she pulls Dominique up. Before she can try for another German Suplex Dominique grabs her wrists and just forcefully pries her grip apart before swinging her elbow backward into Susan's gut to double her over. She turns and lifts Susan off her feet to slam her stomach first onto a knee in a Gutbuster, making Susan cough violently as she slides down to her knees. Dominique backs up a ways, taking aim, then steps back in with a Big Boot across the Suplex Queen's face. She smirks a bit as she lays across Susan's body or a pin, a forearm across the brunette's face. One... T-...
Susan pushes her arm off her face just before the second count, huffing as she gets up and yelping as she jumps back to just barely avoid another boot from the tall blonde. Dominique smirks as she quite literally stands tall and gestures for Susan to bring it, the leader of the Queen's Court narrowing her eyes as she carefully approaches. Dominique reaches out to grab her, but Susan sidesteps her, but as she goes to dive in low to grab hold of the tall woman Dominique bashes her in the back with clasped hands, smashing her down in a Double Axehandle. As Susan tries to push herself up Dominique steps on her back to push her back down before straddling her back and grabbing Susan's arms. She pulls them over her knees before reaching out to grab her chin for a Camel Clutch.
Susan grits her teeth, hissing out through them with pain as she claws at the canvas, dragging both woman toward the ropes and escape from the spine-bending hold. Dominique seems quite content to let the shapely beauty burn up energy and as they approach the ropes she stands up, grabbing Susan's legs and crossing them up to tangle them with hers, then grabs a fistful of Susan's hair, pulling on it to lift her head before she steps her foot on the back of it and just stomps Susan's face into the canvas with a dull thud. Dominique shoves Susan's limp body over onto its back with her foot, then steps it right on her face for a cocky pin. One... Two...
Susan again pushes it off her face though, glaring menacingly up at Dominique as the tall blonde reaches down to grab Susan's throat, making her eyes widen. Dominique drags Susan up and just flings her backward, sending her back first into the corner turnbuckles. The towering beauty rushes in after Susan and swings her foot up to boot her square in the face, but Susan ducks and lunges under the raised leg, leaving Dominique off balance with her leg over the ropes while Susan backs on up. She then runs at her, flinging herself at Dominique in a Rigger Splash as the tall beauty turns, but Dominique's arm reaches out to grab her by the throat again, stopping her mid-air. Dominique turns and throws Susan right over the ropes with Choke Slam, sending her slamming into the edge of the apron and bouncing off it to tumble to the mats below.
Susan groans audibly as she pushes herself to her hands and knees while Dominique steps over the ropes onto the apron and clasps her hands again, swinging them up over her head as she waits for Susan to get up to a knee. She then jumps at Susan off the apron and swings her clasped hands down at her, but the Suplex Queen suddenly surges to her feet and reaches up, catching the tall blonde as she wraps her arms around her, staggering backward a bit before thrusting her hips under Dominique's and flinging her overhead in a Belly-to-Belly Suplex to send her landing splat flat on her back on the mats. Susan cringes and rubs her back as she drags herself to her feet using the apron, then into the ring as the referee starts counting a ring-out, but they don't get far before Dominique goes to re-enter the ring, only for Susan to Dropkick her right off the apron.
Susan grabs the top rope and leans back, then launches herself over it to come crashing down on Dominique, but the powerful woman just catches her from the air, holding her across her chest as she rushes at the nearest corner post and drives the Suplex Queen's back into it, making her cry out in pain. She then presses Susan over her head, lifting her onto straight arms before tossing her back into the ring over the second rope. Dominique re-enters the ring and reaches down to grab Susan's wrist, dragging her to her feet by it before yanking her right into a Clothesline that smashes her right back off her feet. She doesn't let go though, pulling the busty beauty back up and Clotheslining her back down again, then pulling her up again before launching her at a corner with an Irish Whip. Dominique rushes after Susan, but the buxom Britt doesn't run into the turnbuckles as expected, instead running up the ropes and launching herself off the top one to twist her body around and swing her arm to smash her forearm up under the wide-eyed Dominique's chin in a European Uppercut that takes the tall beauty off her feet.
As Dominique groaningly sits up Susan comes up behind her, jumping high and tucking her knees to her ample chest, then as she's coming down she blasts Dominique in the back of her head with both feet, rattling the tall blonde's skull. Dominique rolls away, a hand on the back of her head as she staggers to her feet near a corner. Another Dropkick blasts into her chest an she's flung back by the impact, her back hitting the turnbuckles, and Susan backs up before rushing in and throwing herself at the tall woman again, this time to successfully nail her with a Rigger Splash, her immense breasts smashing into Dominique's face. The tall blonde looks a bit wobbly as Susan slips around her and climbs the turnbuckles, standing on the second rope as she reaches an arm across Dominique's throat, then flips forward to drag Dominique with her and drive the top of her skull into the canvas with the Pink DDT. Susan hooks a long leg for the pin. One... Two.... T-...
Unfortunately for her, Dominique's other leg is easily within reach of the ropes and she touches her foot to the bottom one to break the pin. Susan huffs in frustration as she pulls Dominique up and, standing side by side with her, slips her head under the tall woman's arm and reaches one arm around her near leg and the other around her neck. Before she can clasp her hands to lock her grip in though Dominique wrests herself free and smashes her arm across Susan's throat in another Clothesline to send her down again. She jumps and extends a long leg to drop it down on Susan's throat as well, but the busty beauty has the wherewithal to roll out of the way and Dominique lands on her ass with a groan.
Susan grabs Dominique's legs and tucks them under her arms, going for her other finisher, the London Bridge, as she tries to step over Dominique's arms, but the tall beauty is wriggling about to try and avoid the back-bending hold. She manages to pull her knees to her chest and kick Susan away, sending her staggering backward into the ropes and as she bounces off them Dominique swings those long legs up and pincers Susan's neck between them, her shin pressing into the shapely Britt's throat as she reaches out and grabs the back of her head, pulling her harder into the Dominiqtrix Lock. Susan coughs and feebly gasps as Dominique's shin presses her windpipe shut, but she's not about to go down yet as she gathers her legs and kicks herself into a forward flip, folding the tall blonde up for a pin even as she's still in her finishing hold. One... Two... Thr-...
But no, Dominique breaks the hold to shove Susan off her, the Suplex Queen's bridge not quite perfect as her back is clearly bothering her, a pained look on her face as she's standing up. She tries to press her advantage of being on her feet first though as she goes over and reaches out to grab Dominique, but the tall beauty suddenly swings her head up and stands, smashing the crown of her skull under Susan's chin in an uppercut of a headbutt, Susan's head jerking back from the impact, her eyes glazing over.
Dominique grabs Susan's head even as it looks like the Suplex Queen's legs are about to give out under her and she stuffs her head between the Dominiqtrix's thighs, then grabs a hold around Susan's waist and yanks her up into position for a Powerbomb. She grabs Susan's arms and pushes her up even higher before dropping sharply to her knees as she slams Susan down right on the back of her head with the Ice Pick Crucifix Powerbomb. Dominique places her hands on the backs of Susan's knees to push her down all folded up for the pin. One... Two... Three!
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and STILL WWR World Champion... Dominique Frost!
[::The referee hands Dominique the WWR World Championship and she wraps it around her waist before she goes over to Susan, who's laying on her back staring up at the lights. She waves her hand in front of Susan's face to see that she reacts before she takes the Suplex Queen's hand and helps her up to her feet. The two of them stand there, looking at one another for a tense moment... Susan pulls her hand away from Dominique's grip and says something to Dominique before prompty exiting the ring leaving the tall blonde alone in the ring with her title.::]
Alexis Rose: Well well well...
Monica Powers: Well I'm not shocked? Susan just lost the leadership of her own good stable she formed!
Alexis Rose: I wonder how this is going to go over long term?
Monica Powers: Well maybe cooler heads will prevail?
Alexis Rose: We'll see soon enough, but for now we're out of time. Goodnight everyone from Pittsburgh!
