Location: Pittsburgh, PA
WWR DARK RESULTS:
Match #1: Regulators Inc. vs. Satsujin Triad
The opening portion of the match shows the Triad's experience, as Cappadonna and Nari Chang isolate Jane Adler from her partner, and Cappadonna gets a near fall after a Dragon Whip. Sadie finally is tagged in, and takes it to them both. She nearly puts Cappadonna away with a buckshot lariat, but, Nari breaks it up. Nari tried to finish the match with the W.M.D. but Sadie slipped out and Jane blind tags herself. Sadie hits a running brainbuster, and Jane followed up with a Frog splash to get the 3 count..
[::The lights in the arena dim slightly as the pyro goes off and the crowd rises to its feet as Women's Wrestling Revolution returns to television for the first time in months coming to you live from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Which will be the new home of the company for the foreseeable future. Even with a spaced out crowd it doesn't seem to diminish the excitement of the audience getting to see WWR live for their entertainment in the Steel City. The cameras pan through the crowd as the fans hold up their signs and jump up and down as you see signs like...::]
SUPER TIGER GO!
WELCOME BACK WWR
WE NEED SOME BEAUTIFICATION
BIGGEST QUEEN'S COURT FAN
And...
SOMEONE SHUT EVE UP
[::The new official song of Battleground "Miracle by Bebe Rexha" plays over the PA Speakers as the camera cuts to the broadcast booth of Monica Powers and Alexis Rose...::]
SUPER TIGER GO!
WELCOME BACK WWR
WE NEED SOME BEAUTIFICATION
BIGGEST QUEEN'S COURT FAN
And...
SOMEONE SHUT EVE UP
[::The new official song of Battleground "Miracle by Bebe Rexha" plays over the PA Speakers as the camera cuts to the broadcast booth of Monica Powers and Alexis Rose...::]
Alexis Rose: New management...new channel...same Revolution! 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 happy that WWR is back?
Monica Powers: You're damn right I am Alexis! I honestly never thought I'd see the day but I couldn't be more thrilled to have WWR back on the air again and we have one hell of a show lined up for the WWR faithful tonight!
Alexis Rose: I couldn't agree with you more! Three championships are on the line tonight and arguably nothing is bigger than what we will see in the main event tonight as Envy Ellis will defend her Goddess of the Cage Championship for the first time against one half of the WWR World Tag Team Champions in Zoe Jane, in a feud that began with the very first episode of Battleground last October! That match should be absolutely epic!
[::The cameras pan around the Petersen Events Center as the crowd is clearly ready to go for Revolution X tonight. The lights go down and the Tron lights up as the PA Speakers blast "Last Man Standing by Bon Jovi" as the new owner and operator of WWR, hometown wrestling legend Michael Showtime walks out onto the stage in Pittsburgh to a great pop as he strikes a quick pose for the crowd before making his way to the ring...::]
Arianna Grey: Please welcome at this time, the owner of WWR...Michael Showtime!
Alexis Rose: Happy to see the boss out here first thing to make is presence known to the fans.
Monica Powers: I wonder what's on his mind? I'm sure he's been waiting a while to do this...
[::Showtime gets into the ring and Grey hands him the microphone. He smiles at the crowd and begins to speak.::]
Michael Showtime: What's up Pittsburgh!?
[::The crowd gives him the cheap pop and he laughs to himself before continuing.::]
Michael Showtime: I appreciate you all being here tonight, but this isn't about me. I'm here to make the matches and sign the checks. Tonight is about each and everyone of the talented women in the back chomping at the bit to perform for all of you and everyone watching at home. That is TRULY what this is all about!
[::The live audience in the Petersen Events Center gives another loud reaction of approval as Showtime nods his head.::]
Michael Showtime: Now, I don't want to take up much more of anyone's time tonight. But there is a reason I'm out here, and that is to talk about our next pay per view... Through Heaven and Hell! You see, this company has been down for a few months and it's really hard to determine who the true number one contender is for Susan Rigger's World Championship...
[::Showtime hears the mixed reaction from the crowd at the mention of Susan's name and he can't help but laugh.::]
Michael Showtime: Hah! Okay, I hear that... But it doesn't change the fact that she needs an opponent at the pay per view. So what we are going to do is hold a tournament starting in two weeks time to determine a new number one contender. But this won't be your typical tournament. As each first round match will be competed under triple threat match rules. I will be watching the show tonight closely in my office backstage to determine who will be included in said tournament. Win or lose tonight? Show me how much you want it! Tonight? It's your time to shine! Knock 'em dead ladies!
[::Showtime tosses the microphone back to Arianna before waving at the crowd again as he departs the ring and walks up the ramp to head backstage...::]
Alexis Rose: A huge announcement from the owner of WWR!
Monica Powers: Ooh boy! I can't wait to see who will be involved in this tournament! Hopefully you can let us know tomorrow on the WWR website?
Alexis Rose: I have a feeling that I'm gonna be able to break that news, sorry Katrina! We've got the battle royale up next, who will earn a shot at the WWR Battleground Championship? Stay tuned!
[::The cameras shift from the ringside area to the backstage area where we see Diamond Caldwell walking down the hallway full of energy as she is heading someone. Doesn’t take long for us to realize where she is going. She stops in front of a locker room door that has the name of Crystal Zdunich on it. Not bothering to knock she pushes her way in. There is no Crystal in sight. Something else is, the WWR Battleground Championship. Diamond walks over to the chair that the title is on. She picks it up. Diamond becomes lost looking at her in reflection in the glint of the face plate to notice that Crystal is now standing behind her.::]
Crystal Zdunich: Ahem.
[::Diamond licks her lips. She turns around to notice Crystal with her arms resting on her hips.::]
Crystal Zdunich: We may be friends Diamond, don’t get too comfortable holding that. I am going to be the Battleground Champion for a very long time.
Diamond Caldwell: Is that so?
Crystal Zdunich: You damn right.
Diamond Caldwell: Turn around.
[::Crystal trusts Diamond enough to do as she asks. Diamond wraps the belt around Crystal’s waist. Once she snaps the belt tight, Diamond backs up. She doesn’t hesitate to look at Crystal’s ass.::]
Diamond Caldwell: See, harmless.
[::Crystal turns around. She smiles.::]
Crystal Zdunich: You, harmless, yeah, sure. But I wouldn’t mind you causing harm to Salinas. She accuses me of being a loud mouth, jesus, she is a freaking hypocrite. She has to be the only person on the planet who loves the sound of her own voice.
[::Diamond shudders.::]
Diamond Caldwell: Can we not talk about her? I am trying to be on my best behavior. All I want to focus on is the promise I made from jump street. The one where I said in no uncertain terms that I wanted to steal the goddamn show. It is amazing how many of these prissy bitches got all up in arms; that’s ok. I am gonna make believers out of them in a few moments. I trust that you are going to keep your end of the bargain. By hook or by crook--
[::Diamond places both her hands on Crystal’s shoulders.::]
Diamond Caldwell: -- it is going to be you and me, one on one for the Battleground Championship. We may be friends, girl, you are going to find out I love being on top.
[::Crystal laughs.::]
Crystal Zdunich: The only top bitch in this company is me.
Diamond Caldwell: Ok. Ok. That the way you want to play it? Fine. I got no problem proving you and the rest of the girls in the multi woman clusterfuck wrong.
[::Diamond removes her hands from Crystal’s shoulders. She walks past the Battleground Champion. Once she leaves the room, Crystal sits down smiling from there playful exchange as Battleground fades to a quick ninety second commercial break.::]
[::WWR Battleground returns from the quick commercial break with the cameras backstage, finding Halo standing alone in a dressing room, ready for the night’s action.::]
Halo: Tonight, we get to see what all y’all here in WWR are made of! We get to see what fourteen other women are all about!
[::She nods slowly, almost smiling.::]
Halo: Some, like Sarah Richardson, Stephanie Sullivan, Allison Sullivan, Jenni Taylor and Brittany Williams, I know very well. Sarah, Stephanie and Allison have been almost like family, Jenni and Brittany are family.
[::Nodding again, her head rolls to the other side.::]
Halo: Others, like Diamond Caldwell, Jessica Jackson, Victoria Salinas and Jonna Austin I know by name and reputation. They ain’t nothin’ to be fucked with!
[::Halo snickers, nodding to herself.::]
Halo: So that leaves Aurora Ray, Anya Lebeaux, Mercedes White, and Kiera Smith as the true unknowns to me and to be perfectly honest…
[::She turns to face the camera, rubbing her hands together as she smiles, nodding almost excitedly.::]
Halo: This is just like a damn barfight and I been spoilin’ to have me a good barfight! Fifteen women walk into that ring and battle it out for the right to challenge for the WWR Battleground Championship, which right now means I would be facing my mother-in-law, Crystal Zdunich, if I were to win.
[::She pauses and shrugs again.::]
Halo: That would be almost funny since Mama Chrys done helped train me for this shit and has always supported me. I can’t wait to get in that ring and show WWR who and what Halo is! Tonight, it’s my chance to knock some fuckers the hell out!
[::Battleground's cameras take us else where in the arena where we see Milana Radek practicing some combos on a heavy bag as the clicking of heels could be heard in the distance. A familiar, yet sultry voice could be heard, as Grace Moretti appeared with a business savvy attire on, commenting on her form.::]
Grace Moretti: Don't leave yourself open out there, Milana. After all, there are fourteen other women competing in that match.
[::She said, as it was a voice Milana had not heard in a very long time. Turning around, Milana gives her a hug, not believing she was there.::]
Milana Radek: Grace! I thought you would be heading back to Barcelona. What are you doing here?
Grace Moretti: What do you think I'm doing? Cayla and Juliana are back together, so, I am here to help lead you three to victory once more.
[::She said after breaking off the reunion embrace, and Milana would comment on her statement.::]
Milana Radek: I'll have you know last time I was in a multi-woman match for WWR, I defeated five other women. However, it matters not the number of women they throw at me, because I will outlast them all! Is like you say, only the beautiful can win.
[::Milana said with a confident smile, as the veteran would smile and escort her.::]
Grace Moretti: Right you are, Milana. Now, let's get you out there to showcase what we're all about.
[::Grace says, as the two exit the training area, ready to fight as we get another camera cut to another place in the arena. The camera descends upon Jenni Taylor sitting in a chair, almost rocking as she starts to nod, her gaze still on the floor.::]
Jenni Taylor: Tonight is my first match since Christmas of 2013. I lost to a man I…
[::She pauses, shaking her head, all movement suddenly coming to a complete halt.::]
Jenni Taylor: It does not matter, his name is best left consigned to the ages. The point was that after that match, I was injured and left unfit for much of anything. I spent years working to secure my mum’s release from her English prison.
[::Looking up to the camera, she shrugs sadly.::]
Jenni Taylor: Me dad was a bit of blighter, you see. He liked a bit of the drop and gave me mum a good thumping every so often. When he started to look at me sister and me that way, mum decided he no longer had any services we required and ended the punter for good!
[::She nods to herself, looking to the floor again.::]
Jenni Taylor: So once we got her released, it was time to consider making the comeback that I should have made in 2014 and never got to because the company I worked for went under back then.
[::She waves her hand.::]
Jenni Taylor: Six years’ time has passed, me mum has moved in with my house and we moved house to New Orleans with most of the rest of me family. Only Seleana, Christina, Halo and Brittany live elsewhere.
[::She nods again and jumps to her feet.::]
Jenni Taylor: And I am ready for WWR!
[::She turns, facing the camera and looking dead into the lens.::]
Jenni Taylor: I am ready to prove to Halo, Brittany, and the other twelve women in this match and the rest of the WWR that I am ready to pick up where I left off in my career!
[::She walks forward and grabs the camera, giving herself an extreme close-up.::]
Jenni Taylor: I am ready and I am keen. Jenni Taylor is here to stay!
[::From there, the cameras shift to blackness... A single ray of light down a darkened path leads to the emergence of Anya Lebeaux. The woman, clad in black leather, has a purple streak dyed into her black hair, wing-tipped eyeliner framing her pale blue eyes, and a smile accented in black lipstick.::]
Anya Lebeaux: Some of you talk way too much.
[::She scoffs, a sign of derision.::]
Anya Lebeaux: You all have your ways… your flaunt yourselves. You laud your past accomplishments. You build pedestals to stand upon. You really don’t perceive the position you are in.
[::She smiles again, licking her lips.::]
Anya Lebeaux: Yes, I think I’m going to enjoy this. Welcome to your worst nightmare.
[::The scene cuts out to the studio backstage where a confident, determined and refreshed Victoria Salinas is waiting to speak her mind. She’s not looking intimidated even if the numbers aren’t in her favor. This poise and confidence sticks with her as she begins to express her thoughts.::]
Victoria Salinas: Starting new… I’ve had to do a lot of that in the last two years. It hasn’t always been pretty, but I’ve been around long enough to know how to pull through in situations like these. I’ll be honest: opening matches? Yeah, not really the match slot I like to compete in… but this is different… this is for a title shot. Nobody’s rolling out the red carpet for me or anything. I know that I have to earn my keep and this is something that I’ve been able to pull off so many times… and that’s exactly what I am going to do tonight. I may not have the odds in my favor considering the numbers game… but I’m in this to win this… even if I may not be everyone’s cup of tea which… considering some comments I’ve dealt with in the build up to this… I’m clearly not.
Still… this isn’t about winning the backstage popularity contest. I’ve spent my whole career trying to do so and I’m done with it. Going forward, I’m not going to give a damn about what other people are going to say about me. It’s a new journey… so out with the old, in with the new.
Out with the Victoria that would keep her mouth shut just for the sake of keeping peace and harmony among everyone else. Out with the Victoria that valued the opinions of other people too much that with the proper amount of push back, she’d just shut the fuck up and “deal with it”. Out with the Victoria that was just ‘convenient’ for others to use as their springboard. Out with the Victoria that had her own fair share of confidence issues for a while and who had struggled to make her own way.
Sorry haters… but that Victoria’s gone. I speak my mind… I express my thoughts… and if you don’t like what I have to say, then so be it because I know that’s a reflection of you and not me. I’m not going to take the opinions of other people to heart anymore because at the end of the day, they don’t matter for a damn thing. I’m not someone that is going to be silenced anymore and I don’t give a crap who you are. Even if you were to get a win over me, you’re not going to keep me down. I’ve let it happen too often and that part of my career is dead and gone. So… if any of my 14 opponents think that they’re going to just push me over and get ahead at my expense, they’ve already missed the boat on that. I came here to be a champion again and to stand up to my own demons and prove once and for all that I’m not going to be forgotten as I had been before. Yeah… roll your eyes… Yeah… make your snide remarks… I don’t give a damn.
I’m getting that Battleground championship match… and to whoever winds up winning that main event later tonight… hell… I’ll just outright say it: you four in that match tonight better hope that I’m not the one that wins. Because what I’m going to show tonight is that on the biggest stage, under the brightest lights… there is nobody better than me!
[::Victoria takes a bit of a pause as she thinks about what she’s had to endure for the last while… and what she knows she’ll have to endure to get to where she wants to be once more.::]
Victoria Salinas: Everyone’s got their motivations and their reasons for wanting to win this and I respect that… but if anyone in this match thinks that they’re more motivated than I am to win… then they really don’t know me as well as they think that they do! Tonight? I take that first step to where I want to be in this business…
[::Victoria maintains her poise and determination as she exits the scene, feeling like she’s definitely got what it takes to win the challenge ahead as Battleground takes a much longer commercial break before the opening contest of the evening..::]
Arianna Grey: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your opening contest of the evening and it is a fifteen woman over the top rope Battle Royale. The winner of this match will become the number one contender for the WWR Battleground Championship!
[::The ring is quite full as all 15 of the women have already entered the ring during the commercial break and it's clear to the audience and everyone watching at home that this is about to explode at any moment here.::]
Monica Powers: A mix of old and new members of the WWR roster converge for the first time and we're gonna get a good ole fashioned Battle Royale to kick off the action on Battleground here tonight. Who will survive and step up to challenge for the Battleground Championship in two weeks time?
Alexis Rose: There is no way I'd place a bet here tonight, Monica! There are many heavy favorites in that ring tonight, and with a lot of people looking to make an impactful first impression under the WWR banner...this is truly anybodies match!
[::One of the referees at ringside calls for the bell and this match is officially underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
All 15 women are in the ring, and as the bell tolls, chaos ensues, as is typical in this type of match. Kiera Smith and Mercedes White are exchanging blows, and as Kiera attempts to lift Mercedes, White reverses, getting underneath Smith and shouldering her up and over the top rope. The Aussie lands on the apron, and eats a stiff superkick from Jonna Austin, dropping her to the floor.
**Kiera Smith has been eliminated**
Mercedes gets into Jonna’s face, arguing that she was the one who should’ve eliminated Kiera, not Austin, before the Texas natives slaps the Brit Socialite across the face before lifting her up and tossing her to the floor next to the Star Seer.
**Mercedes White has been eliminated**
On the other side of the ring, Anya LeBeaux is engaged in a strike fest with Jenni Taylor when Allison Sullivan gets involved, slapping both women in turn. The two look at one another before booting Sullivan in the stomach, grabbing her and unceremoniously dumping her over the top rope and to the floor.
**Allison Sullivan has been eliminated**
The camera comes back to Jonna Austin, who is in a fierce struggle on the apron to keep her balance while Halo attempts to eliminate her. Austin drives a knee into the midsection of Halo, but is caught offguard as Jessica Jackson seizes the opportunity to deliver a stiff elbow shot to the temple of Jonna, dropping her to the floor. Aurora Ray tries to catch Jackson off guard, running in with a lariat, but Jessica back body drops Ray over the rope and to the floor next to Jonna.
**Jonna Austin and Aurora Ray have been eliminated**
Brittany Williams and Sarah Richardson are going back and forth now, a flurry of blows and grapple attempts as one tries to gain the upperhand over the other until Stephanie Sullivan comes in with a double clothesline, dropping them both to the floor!
**Brittany Williams and Sarah Richardson have been eliminated**
Stephanie turns around, only to get dropkicked and knocked over the ropes by Diamond Caldwell.
**Stephanie Sullivan has been eliminated**
Seven women remain, and they look across the ring at one another. Jessica Jackson immediately goes after Halo, bullrushing the woman into the corner and delivering a sharp series of elbows. Anya Lebeaux, Milana Ridek, and Diamond Caldwell are in a three person stand off, and Victoria Salinas and Jenni Taylor are clashing on another side of the ring. We can see Jessica Jackson pull Halo out of the corner, and lift her up into powerbomb position before Halo delivers a series of shots to Jessica’s face, dropping back down to the mat before Diamond Caldwell appears, knocking Jessica against the ropes. Jackson fights against the elimination attempt, but Halo jumps in, and with a struggle manages to force the blonde over the rope and to the floor.
**Jessica Jackson has been eliminated**
Back over to Victoria Salinas and Jenni Taylor now. The two women continue to fight, trying to get the advantage over each other, when the camera pans back to Halo and Diamond as Caldwell manages to force Halo over the top rope, hitting her with a hard elbow to drop her off the apron and to the floor.
**Halo has been eliminated**
Anya and Milana now locked up in the corner, with Anya seated on the top turnbuckle, trying to fight of Radek as she tries to push Lebeaux from the top. Jenni Taylor comes over, assisting with the elimination as Lebeaux falls from the turnbuckle, bounces off the apron, and falls to the floor. Which is immediately followed up by Taylor lifting and tossing Milana over as well.
**Anya Lebeaux and Milana Radek have been eliminated**
Jenni turns back to see Diamond and Victoria going at it, throwing hard offensive strikes at one another. She runs in, only to be double back body dropped over the top by both women.
**Jenni Taylor has been eliminated**
Victoria leans against the ropes, the toll of this match showing on both her and Diamond. Caldwell hits a hard elbow, stunning Salinas against the ropes before taking off at a run and coming back with a wild clothesline, and the momentum causes both women to go over the top, hitting the floor at the same time...
Arianna Grey: Uhhhh...?
[::While the officials debated with one another on the floor at ringside where Salinas and Caldwell bickered back and forth between each other. Eventually one of the officials went over to Grey and told her the winner of the match.::]
Arianna Grey: I have been informed from the officials that both women's feet touched the ground at the exact same time. So your winners are...Diamond Caldwell and Victoria Salinas!
[::Neither woman looks happy about this as they once again try to fight one another but the officials and security from the back rush out to keep the two women separated as the crowd chants "Let them fight!".::]
Alexis Rose: It looks like the Battleground Champion will have to compete under triple threat rules on the next edition of WWR Battleground!
Monica Powers: Tonight it's a Fatal Four Way, in two weeks time...a triple threat. It's not easy being the Battleground Champion...
Alexis Rose: It certainly is not, and we don't even know who will be the champion by then!
Monica Powers: It could be any of them, Alexis! We'll find out soon enough. But for now...a commercial break! We'll be right back folks!
[::Battleground returns from commercial break and we are taken backstage as the camera focuses on a door with a giant gold star on it, with big bold red letters reading...::]
BEAUTIFICATION MOVEMENT SUITE (Invitation Only)
[::The door is opened and we are greeted a red carpet leading to Juliana Mendoza and Cayla Phoenix laying back on two purple velvet chaise lounges, both in a black silk robe and black knee high boots as Juliana sips a glass of champagne and Cayla indulges in a chocolate covered strawberry. Juliana looks in the mirror and blows a kiss, making sure she looks flawless as Cayla applies a bit of lip gloss.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Hello peasants. Welcome to the Beauty Parlor. Tonight, you get a brief moment of beauty as myself and Cayla regale you with our story of friendship, love, glory, loss, and of course, making the Wrestling World a little more beautiful, one match at a time.
[::Cayla popped her lips to make sure her gloss was on evenly, as she smiled hearing Juliana speak, as she lounged on the salon chair, and crossed her legs as she began to speak.::]
Cayla Phoenix: That's right, it's been a long two years since either of us have teamed together in the ring, as I myself have recovered from a near-death experience in a plane crash.
[::Juliana reaches over and clutches her best friend's hand.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Such a fighter. Love you breastie. I was away for much less tragic reasons. There was important family and personal business that I had to attend to and it meant being away for far too long. I know it was absolute torture for all of you little people to be without me…
[::Juliana looks at Cayla’s hand, then blows a kiss to her breastie.::]
Juliana Mendoza: Without us, for so long. Now though, we are back and bringing the kind of entertainment that only THE Beautification Movement can provide.
Cayla Phoenix: Exactly! And now, we officially and cordially invite you all to our Beauty Parlor!
[::She said with giddiness, as she was practically oblivious to the boos from the crowd at their arrogance. With a confident smile, she nods to them.::]
Cayla Phoenix: And thank you all for your support, we all know your lives are meaningless without us. But, be grateful you're not the Zdunich sisters! Because not only are they hideous monstrosities that their mother should've put in a basket and sent down the river when they were young, they're also bestowed with the honor of being the first team Juliana and I get to defeat on our return!
Juliana Mendoza: I could not have said it any better breastie. There may be hope for the one, but that one with the kool aid hair and the pale skin and the absolutely abhorrent fashion sense, she is a lost cause and we might have to put her down like the sad pathetic little doggie she is.
[::Juliana feigns a shudder and throwing up, then takes a sip of her champagne, almost finishing it.::]
Juliana Mendoza: At least those two wanna be rockstars will finally be able to claim a bit of fame. They get to be the first team to lose to THE Beautifcation Movement as we begin our quest to rescue the tag team titles from the current so called champions. Those belts would look sooooo much better around our flawless waists, don’t you think so Cayla?
Cayla Phoenix: Oh, absolutely! Can you believe the state of the current champions?! Ugh, guh-rowss!
[::She said, sticking her tongue out, as if she were gagging at the thought of Zoe Jane and Super Tiger.::]
Cayla Phoenix: The only reason they hold those titles is because you and I were not in the initial run in WWR. Milana may have been, but, she didn't have a partner. However, Juliana and I are bar none the hottest and most skilled tag team in the ring today, and if we have to outright embarrass those… things… Wild side, in the process, then so be it!
Juliana Mendoza: Those titles are going to look so much better once we have them. Wildside first, then maybe the stupid little cowgirls or the triad chicks, even if we do love Malaya, can’t let her group stand between us and the Tiger bitches. We are the most amazingly beautiful and talented team that wrestling has ever witnessed, and we’re going to prove that by taking out team after team after team. They’ll probably have to start throwing people together just to give us challengers.
[::Juliana laughs as she finishes her drink, stands up and looks at her tag team partner and best friend.::]
Juliana Mendoza: What do you think, time to give them the big surprise and show what’s under these robes?
[::Hearing that, Cayla stands up as well, twirling the band of her robe whilst the Duo have numerous catcalls from the men in the audience, as she posed.::]
Cayla Phoenix: They don't really deserve it… but, contrary to the popular belief, we're a very gracious and generous pair. Let's...
[::Cayla said, as she and Juliana would both slowly take off the robes to reveal their gear, which was matching booty shorts and tops with a sparkling pink and gold trim appearance with matching knee high boots and kneepads as well. Juliana stepped and they posed together, Juliana raising her right hand as Cayla raised hers and they went back to back. They turned to the camera and blew a kiss, then Juliana tossed her robe onto the camera, ending this Moment of Beauty. The cameras then shift backstage to the Beautification Movement's opponents, the members of Wildside, Seleana and Zenna Zdunich.::]
Seleana Zdunich: The Beautification Movement...
[::Zenna looks like she almost wants to spit in disgust just at the mention of the name.::]
Zenna Zdunich: I liked them better the first time…
[::She pauses and then shakes her head.::]
Zenna Zdunich: I know, I did not like them any better the first time I saw them when they were called the Pretty Committee and named Christina Fierce, Bianca Davis and Veronica Taylor…
[::Seleana nods, just as disgusted as her sister.::]
Seleana Zdunich: Or Nobility and called Angel Kash, Melissa Ruin and Chantelle Jackson?
[::Zenna’s right hand balls into a fist.::]
Zenna Zdunich: There was another called the Pink Ladies that was Caroline Holt and whoever could stand her that week. They changed side members so often you would think they were just cheap press-on nails.
[::Seleana waves her hand dismissively.::]
Seleana Zdunich: De är alla samma.
[::She pauses and then looks into the camera.::]
Seleana Zdunich: Ta sig vatten över huvudet!
[::Zenna nods her agreement.::]
Zenna Zdunich: Ni gör alla en höna av en fjäder.
[::Seleana shakes her head, the derision in both of their voices quite palpable to anyone paying attention.::]
Seleana Zdunich: Smaken är som baken, delad.
[::Zenna nods grimly.::]
Zenna Zdunich: Every place we go has one, based on two groups on TV from 13 and 11 years ago that were themselves based on a movie from 16 years ago and a TV show from 17 years ago.
[::Seleana shrugs.::]
Seleana Zdunich: So which one is Paris and which one is Nicole?
[::Zenna almost laughs, though it is completely mithless.::]
Zenna Zdunich: Spelar det någon roll?
[::Seleana nods to the camera.::]
Seleana Zdunich: To them, it matters very much. None of them ever want to admit to being the Nicole Richie.
[::Zenna snickers again.::]
Zenna Zdunich: Or the Karen and Gretchen.
Seleana Zdunich: That’s what every one of these groups, be it The Beautification Movement, The Pretty Committee, Nobility, The Pink Ladies…
[::Zenna nods as they both look into the camera.::]
Zenna Zdunich: Nobody wants to admit the truth, that the groups always end up revolving around one Queen Bee.
Seleana Zdunich: There is only one Regina George.
Zenna Zdunich: Only one Paris Hilton.
[::They pause, glaring into the camera.::]
Seleana Zdunich: That will always be your downfall, in the end, it is always more about one than the others. You are not true friends, you are not family, you are not a sisterhood.
Zenna Zdunich: You are fake, disposable plastic that will be thrown aside when you are no longer useful to your alpha.
[::Zenna pauses and then nods one more time.::]
Zenna Zdunich: Allow us to help you along with this process.
Seleana Zdunich: Välkommen till djungeln!
[::And with that the scene shifts to ringside to bring you the next match on WWR Battleground...::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit, introducing first...
[::The lights slowly dim and turn pink as “Sour Candy by Lady Gaga and BlackPink” begins to play. With every scream, a flashbulb goes off. As the first verse begins, a gold spotlight shines down on the center of the stage and a platform begins to rise up with Juliana Mendoza and Cayla Phoenix posing back to back. 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...::]
Arianna Grey: The team of Juliana Mendoza and Cayla Phoenix, THE Beautification Movement!
Alexis Rose: See, Arianna knew to emphasize the THE. I think their opponents might only want to emphasize their feet in THE Beautification Movement’s faces.
Monica Powers: True...It will be interesting to see if these two can back up all their talk with a big win tonight here on Battleground. They clearly have their work cut out for them!
[::As they 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. Juliana pops up behind her partner and leans over the top rope as they again tease a kiss only to laugh and flip off the camera before Cayla rolls in and they go to their corner to prepare..::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponents...
[::“Wildside by Motley Crue” starts up and the members of Wildside, Seleana and Zenna Zdunich along with their manager, Maja Lindström, make their way out of the entryway and down the aisle...::]
Arianna Grey: The team of Seleana and Zenna Zdunich...WILDSIDE!
Monica Powers: Gave Wildside that emphasis they deserve as well. I’m excited to see these two teams. If it stays clean, I have the sisters, if not…
Alexis Rose: I can't help but feel that is a BIG if Monica. I don't really trust the Beautification Movement to keep this match clean...
[::Seleana and Zenna enter the ring and raises their arms as the crowd cheers them on while the Beautification Movement mocks them behind their backs. Eventually they turn around and Cayla and Juliana stop before the referee orders each team to figure out who's going to start this match up before ringing the bell and getting this tag match underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
Cayla and Zenna start it off, being the larger members of their teams respectively. Zenna uses her speed to slip behind Cayla, pushes her, and hits a dropkick to the back of the head that stumbles her. Zenna goes to follow up with a bulldog, but Cayla shoves her off. Cayla looks for a German suplex, but Zenna slips out, goes behind, and delivers another dropkick to the back. Cayla turns and Zenna goes to grab her, but the eyes are raked and Cayla hits a pendulum backbreaker. Cayla tags Juliana in as she hits an inverted atomic drop on Zenna, that’s quickly followed by a running dropkick from Juliana, and then a cover that gets a 2 count. Juliana fires off a few chops and then an enziguri that rocks Zenna. Juliana tags Cayla and the Siren of Violence hooks her for a dragon suplex. Juliana hops over the rope, then springboards up and hits a dropkick. Juliana rolls through and takes Seleana off the apron with a jumping hip attack as Cayla bridges into the cover. Only a two count!
Both of them start screaming at the ref that he’s incompetent and hideous and how hard is to just count to 3? Cayla stomps her feet, then pulls Zenna up and tags Juliana. Cayla sets Zenna up for a Samoan drop as Juliana hits the ropes. Zenna slid off as Juliana went for the flipping neckbreaker, landing hard as Cayla got dropped with a bulldog. Seleana was back in the ring and tagged herself in. The sisters Zdunich hit a double hip toss and running dropkicks to the back and chest of Miss Majestuosa. Seleana covers, but only gets a 2 count. She pulls Juliana to her feet and after a series of clotheslines, she connects with a bulldog and a springboard moonsault. Zenna tags as Seleana hits the ropes and after the moonsault, Zenna hauls Juliana up on to her shoulders as Seleana has rolled to the other side and springboards up to the top rope as they crush her with the doomsday device. Zenna quickly covers, it looks like it would have been a three count but it was broken up just in the nick of time by Cayla.
Cayla lays a few stomps in on Zenna as Seleana wants to help her partner, but is distracting the ref. Finally, she goes back out and Cayla escapes. Juliana gets up and delivers a few hard forearm shots, then looks for a monkey flip. Zeena lands on her feet and stumbles into the tag. Seleana comes in and takes Juliana down with a Japanese arm drag, then a standard, and follows with a hip toss. Juliana pops up and Seleana goes for her but gets a thumb to the eye. Juliana tags Cayla in and they look for the snapshot. Seleana manages to kick Cayla off of her and then hits Juliana with a hurricanrana that sends her to the outside. Cayla comes up behind and hits a massive German suplex. Seleana goes flying towards her corner and Zenna hits the blind tag. Zenna hops up and hits a springboard hurricanrana to Cayla, then looks for the Family Tradition, but it’s blocked. Cayla shoves Zenna towards the ref which allows her to spray Zenna in the eyes with a spritz from Juliana’s perfume bottle. Juliana tags in as Cayla knocks Seleana off the apron with a roaring elbow, then takes her out with a slingshot shoulder block to the outside as Juliana connects with the Cosmetic Counter to the blinded Zenna. Juliana goes right into the cover to score the three count!
Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, the Beautification Movement!
[::Cayla and Juliana get out of the ring quickly, celebrating their win at ringside and away from Wildside as the crowd loudly boos the beautiful duo who hug and again tease a kiss before kissing each other's cheek and give each other's hair a little flip as they each tell the other how amazing they were as the fans continue to boo them.::]
Monica Powers: The cheating movement is more like it. Multiple times attacking the eyes and then using that foreign substance. Not to mention the five count was practically ignored.
Alexis Rose: I can’t say that I personally agree with the tactics of THE Beautification Movement, but you can’t deny the results. They say they want the tag titles, they have to get wins against other tag teams.
Monica Powers: It was certainly controversial but the referee can't call what they don't see...a win is a win!
Alexis Rose: I have a feeling the Beautification Movement hasn't heard the last from Wildside, call it a hunch! We'll be right back after this quick commercial break! Stay tuned for more WWR Battleground on SPLAT!
[::Battleground returns from commercial break and we are taken backstage where the WWR's star interviewer, Katrina Showtime, stands next to none other than Dominique Frost, a smirk playing on the statuesque blonde's lips, her hands resting on her hips. Katrina takes a deep breath to steel herself before raising her microphone to her lips, knowing full well Dominique will make this interview anything BUT a smooth ride.::]
Katrina Showtime: Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time will be competing up next in a hardcore match against Diamond Steele....Dominique Frost.
[::Katrina motions to the tall blonde in a less than enthusiastic manner. Dominique steps forward, head cockily tilted back ever so slightly to look into the camera along her nose, much as she likes to look down upon others, then she turns her head to regard Katrina.::]
Dominique Frost: Always a pleasure to work together to present my next victory, heh heh.
[::Katrina rolls her eyes to the camera before asking a question.::]
Katrina Showtime: You and Steele have had quite the war of words over the last couple of weeks, what makes you so confident that you will win tonight against someone who has pretty much made a career out of hardcore wrestling?
Dominique Frost: Well you see my dear...
[::She almost absently reaches over to run her fingers through Katrina's hair.::]
Dominique Frost: The reason she's made a career of it is because unlike myself it's the ONLY thing she has ANY talent for. My talents are too numerous to count but even then I'm better in the ring under ANY rules than she could ever hope to be.
[::Katrina backs up while Dominique speaks and smacks her hand away.::]
Katrina Showtime: Well if you do win tonight, what's next for you here in WWR...?
[:: Dominique chuckles a bit before answering.::]
Dominique Frost: WHEN I am victorious, perhaps it will be time to set my sights on some championship gold to add to the Court's treasury. Gold WOULD look good on me, don't you agree?
Katrina Showtime: If you say so...
[::The interviewer says looking away just wanting this interview to be over with. The tall beauty's arm snakes its way around Katrina's waist though, pulling her in closer.::]
Dominique Frost: Of course, I can imagine a pair of legs I'd rather wrap around myself than a belt, but the later DOES serve the Court's goals better, heh.
[::Katrina huffs loudly pushing Dominique away and screaming out.::]
Katrina Showtime: This interview is over!!!
[::The interviewer says loudly as she storms off camera leaving the tall blonde Frost sister alone as she chuckles to herself grinning as she watches Katrina walk away as she yells out to her.::]
Dominique Frost: You still owe me that date you know!!
[:: Dominique laughs as she heads off in the other direction while Battleground heads to ringside for the next matchup.::]::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a Hardcore match scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit, introducing first...
[::With the sound of a whip cracking and the theme of "On Your Knees by W.A.S.P." playing over the PA Speakers, the curtains are flung aside as Dominique Frost strides through them onto the stage. She stops to scan the crowd with her gaze before heading down the ramp, hips swaying side to side with each step...::]
Arianna Grey: From Montreal, Canada. Representing the Queen's Court. She is, the Dominiqtrix...Dominique Frost!
Alexis Rose: Well this is one of the few matches that were booked back in March that remained on the card here in July, and we're certain Dominique is happy about it!
Monica Powers: One thing I'm sure Dominique ISN'T happy about is the late signing on Misti Malandro back onto the WWR roster. The last time we saw her, Dominique injured her back in February and put her on the sidelines. We aren't sure if she's cleared to compete yet but I gotta think Dominique is going to take her frustrations out of Diamond Steele tonight...
[::As Dominique arrives at the ring she reaches up to grab the second rope, hauling herself up as she steps right up onto the apron, then tosses a long leg over the top rope, stepping right over it as she pushes it down a bit to make the step easier. She walks across the ring and goes to climb the corner... but then dismissively gestures at the effort, instead turning around and placing her hands on her hips staring up at the ramp...::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"Diamond and the Gem Stones" begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain with a microphone in her hand alongside her cousin Ruby Steele. She sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring cheers. Diamond smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more cheers.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Tampa Bay, Florida. She is accompanied to the ring by Ruby Steele, ...Diamond Steele!
Monica Powers: Well she certainly knows how to make an entrance!
Alexis Rose: That IS true! But I should hope that Steele is more focused on the woman standing in the ring over her musical performance tonight. If she isn't, this is going to get really ugly...really quick!
[::Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin. Ruby claps for Diamond while Dominique stares across the ring from Steele, staring daggers into her opponent...::]
DING! DING! DING!
As the match begins Diamond uses her speed early to fluster the taller, stronger blonde. The crowd was on their feet as Steele played a stick and move strategy that was working pretty well. Until she decided to introduce the weapons into the match. As Steele slid into the ring with the chair she stood up and was greeted with a massive big boot smashing the chair right into her skull which sent her down in a heap. Dominique chuckled and posed for the crowd as they booed the older Frost sister as she got to work.
The rest of the match saw Dominique punishing Diamond Steele with various weapons and powers attacks. Just beating the will the fight right out of her opponent. Every hope spot Diamond Steele got, the Dominiqtrix managed to extinguish it quickly and regain control of the match. She eventually tired of toying with her opponent and set up a table in the middle of the ring, before grabbing Steele and putting her through it with her finisher, the Ice Pick. The tall blonde placed her thigh high boot on Diamond's chest as she laid in the rumble of the table and demanded the referee to count. It was academic as Frost got the three count and picked up the dominant victory.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, Dominique Frost!
[::Dominique's music played as the referee holds her hand up high before the Dominiqtrix shoos the referee away and kicks Steele out of her ring as she eats up the reaction from the crowd which was a bit mixed after the match as some fans just love watching a match display like that.::]
Alexis Rose: Another big win for Dominique Frost!
Monica Powers: The Queen's Court continues their winning ways here in WWR...
Alexis Rose: I wonder if that performance will be enough to warrant entry into the World title tournament starting on the next Battleground?
Monica Powers: I would be inclined to think that was more than enough!
Alexis Rose: I guess we'll find out tomorrow! We've gotta take a quick commercial break, we'll be right back with more Battleground after this!
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break as smoke fills the entrance as "Broken Dreams by Shaman's Harvest" plays. Eve steps out through the smoke, in a leather vest and Sunglasses. She completely ignores the booing crowd as she enters the ring. She is handled a microphone, she leans in the corner with a smirk on her face as she waits for the boos to die down. After a couple of moments she finally speaks.::]
Eve O'Donnell: Well well welll….WWR is back! And so am I! And I finally get what I should have gotten the first time, a title shot!
[::The crowd boos, Eve smirks.::]
Eve O'Donnell: You idiots can boo all you want, but you all know you I'm right! But now the new owner has made things right, he recognized that he landed the biggest talent when he signed me. Tonight I will prove to him that he did the right thing by signing me. And I'll prove to you morons that I back up what I say.
[::Several people in the crowd chant "Shut the fuck up" Eve laughs and shakes her head.::]
Eve O'Donnell: You'd all like that wouldn't you? You'd all like for one of my opponents to shut me up?
[::For the first time the crowd cheers.::]
Eve O'Donnell: Well that ain't gonna happen! There's not a single one of my opponents tonight that could ever shut me up! If you fuckwits would shut your mouth for a few minutes I'll tell you why none of them can!
[::Eve gets an angry look as the crowd boo and hiss as she waits for them to stop. They finally quite down enough for her to talk.::]
Eve O'Donnell: First off we've got Malaya Diyosa, I'll give it to her, she's got talent, not as much as I do but she's talented. But all that talent won't help her when she's flat on her back, but then again she's probably used to being in that position….if you know what I mean.
[::Eve lowers her sunglasses and winks before raising them again. The crowd boo loudly. Eve laughs.::]
Eve O'Donnell: Then you've got "The Dork" Azurine Vebbins…. I'll never get tired of hurting that bitch. It's not my fault she has a soft head and can't take a stiff punch. She can bitch and moan about out first meeting all she wants but that doesn't change that I beat her in the middle of the ring. Tonight won't be any different, she'll try but once again she'll fail.
[::Eve smirks as the crowd tries to boo her out of the ring.::]
Eve O'Donnell: And then you've got the reigning, defending Battleground Champion….Crystal Zdunich, that dinosaur will be lucky if she doesn't break her hip getting into the ring! She's lucky she even knows where she is tonight! She's a non factor.
[::Eve pauses momentarily.::]
Eve O'Donnell: All of them are actually, because when it's all said and done, when that bell rings I will be standing over all three of them with them with that title raised above my head! Get ready bitches, tonight is my night! Tonight "The Goddess" takes her throne!
[::Eve tosses the microphone down and exits the ring, she completely ignores the boos and insults from the crowd as she walks up the ramp and steps through the curtain as Battleground takes a quick commercial break.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit, introducing first...
[::The Iconic hook of "Still by Geto Boys" would play, as Daria has a slow strut toward the ring, looking to put the hurt on whoever she shares a ring with as the crowd gives the lovely rookie a rather warm reaction.::]
Arianna Grey: From Rochester, New York. She is...Daria Dorsey!
Alexis Rose: While this match features two new comers to WWR, while it is different from the tag match we saw earlier in the evening, both of these ladies are pretty much rookies to the squared circle!
Monica Powers: Daria has been training this year with the Princess of Mischief herself, Jessica Jackson. So it will be interesting to see if any of Jessica's demeanor rubs off on her student. I have to think that the Queen's Court will be watching this match closely...
[::Daria enters through the middle rope and posed, bowing to the crowd and looking up with a smirk as she awaits her opponent..::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::The techno beats of "Boom Boom Boom Boom by The Vengaboys" begins to play as the lights flicker in many colors. The crowd rise to their feet, jumping and clapping in beat as Chesty Larue skips out on top of the ramp, bouncing around in all of her glory. She claps along, encouraging further from the crowd as she skips down the ramp, clapping some hands along the way...::]
Arianna Grey: From Las Vegas, Nevada. She is...Chesty Larue!
Monica Powers: Interesting tidbit on how this match up came together between these two rookies according to the dirtsheets...Chesty's opponent, Daria. Well she has a rather interesting nickname that certainly would match up with her opponents namesake tonight...
Alexis Rose: I'm not exactly sure that's why this match up happened, Monica. I think it more has to do with the fact that both ladies are on equal experience level and should be able to give us all an entertaining match up. The name talk I think it just internet hyperbole. But that's just me. Who knows?
[::As Larue gets to the ring, the song hits the chorus, with sparkling fireworks shooting from the ramp in time with the first "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom" of the chorus. She slides onto the apron under the bottom ropes, turning to the crowd with her chin on her hands and her legs kicking behind her. She blows a kiss to the crowd before rolling to her feet, moving to the other sides of the ring, bending over the ropes and blowing a kiss out in the midst of her display. Neither woman looks nervous for their big match as the the referee speaks to both of them quickly before ringing the bell to start this match..::]
DING! DING! DING!
As our match begins, we see Daria Dorsey rush forward, trying to take advantage of Chesty before the match can even really get off the track, blasting her with a big snap powerslam! Chesty goes down, and Daria looks to capitalize with an immediate follow through into her Bicycle Knee combination, but Chesty counters with a Bearhug into a Spinebuster, into a pin!
Daria kicks out at one, and the two trade blows as they get back to their feet, Daria managing to successfully hit her Bicycle Knee/Back Suplex combination into a backdrop pin. Chesty counters with a kick-out at one point five! Chesty throws Daria into the ropes and tosses her up, catching her with Falling For You for a quick snap pin and cover!But a kick out at two!
Chesty tries to capitalize with the DDDDT, but Daria counters into a Double Leg Spinebuster! Daria goes for another pinfall but only get a two count. Dorsey and Larue trade blows back and forth as we approach the middle of this match, trading shots before Daria catches Chesty with a springboard uppercut followed up with another Bicycle Knee, but as she goes for the back suplex, Chesty grabs her and rolls her up before rolling through into an attempt at a snap suplex, but Daria counters this one into a roll-up!
Another kick out at two! The two women trade pins back and forth, before Daria finally manages what appears to be a successful cover with her feet on the ropes, but the referee forces her to break it! Daria sighs, and pulls Chesty up for a Caliburn Driver, but Chesty counters this into a DDDDT for a near fall-only for Daria to get the ropes!
Chesty seems perplexed as to why she didn’t get the pin, and heads to the top rope as the referee checks on Daria! However, as the referee is focused on Daria, Jessica Jackson jumps the barricade! While the ref is occupied, Jessica grabs Chesty’s leg and crotches her on the ropes, opening her up for a recovering Daria to rush up and hit Daria’s Inferno from the top rope! DARIA'S INFERNO FROM THE TOP! Ohh man! This could definitely be it. Dorsey goes for the cover and finally scores the three count.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, Daria Dorsey!
[::Jessica rolls into the ring microphone in hand as she raises Daria's hand up high in the air as she speaks to Daria and the crowd at pretty much the same time.::]
Jessica Jackson: That's what I'm talking about! Right there! Daria is the real deal bitches!!!
Alexis Rose: Oh give me a break...
Monica Powers: At the end of the day, a win is a win...you can't argue that!
[::Daria posed briefly, as people in the crowd boo, knowing her tenure within the Queen's Court was official. She would ask for her microphone, as Daria wanted to speak.::]
Daria Dorsey: I can hear you all now... why, Daria? Why are you siding with the Court? Well, it's simple... none of you marks wanted me to cross over, because you're threatened by a real athlete!
[::She shouted, a bit spiteful in her tone, as the former New York Firebird would speak.::]
Daria Dorsey: No one wanted me in this business, they wanted me to stick to football... but Jessica gave me an offer I simply couldn't refuse.
[::Jessica leans into the microphone and yells.::]
Jessica Jackson: And she proved all of you idiots wrong! She showed the world what I saw in her all along, a bonafide star! And let it be known, that the Queen's Court are once again looking to reclaim their World Tag Team titles...and WE...
[::Jess states as she points back and forth at her and Daria.::]
Jessica Jackson: Are gonna bring them back to the Court!!!
[::Daria would smirk widely, as she and Jessica posed briefly.::]
Daria Dorsey: The Court is going to run this company with an iron fist, because we are the most dominate force in women's wrestling, and no one can even come close! And for anyone who wants to step up to us... you will learn to kneel.
[::Daria said, as she looked down at Chesty LaRue on the ground with a cold look in her eyes. But Jessica points up at the entrance stage as Susan Rigger stands there, the WWR World Championship on her shoulder as she applauds the match Daria put on tonight officially welcoming her into the Court as Jess hugs Daria at her side as the crowd boos the trio.::]
Alexis Rose: Of course the Queen's Court gets a new member...I wish I could say I was suprised but...
Monica Powers: You gotta admit, it's smart of Daria to pair up with her trainer's group. She's still new to the business and having someone help her along will be good for her early on in her career.
Alexis Rose: Look, you're not wrong. But I think it's a massive shortcut to success!
Monica Powers: At the end of the day, it's about wins and championships. Coming over from football Daria knows this, I can't fault this decision.
Alexis Rose: Yea well, whatever. We gotta take a commercial break. We will be back with more WWR Battleground right after this!
[::Battleground returns from commercial break and opens up in the parking lot of Petersen Events Center. Sitting on the roof of a black Toyota Prius with a long chain with a dog collar attached is the WWR Chaos Champion, Charlotte Haliday. The physical championship itself is laid out on the hood of the car.::]
Charlotte Haliday: I am not going to lie, I am nervous about tonight. Do I regret choosing the stipulation? No. Not at all. Beating Zoe Jane to become the first ever Chaos Champion was an exciting moment for me. It wasn’t because I won my first championship. That’s part of the story. To think about how far I came. Going from a girl who ran the streets over in Docking. Having no interest in becoming a professional wrestler. Turned my life around due to the encouragement of a rat bastard I still call my friend.
Trained here in the U.S. Went back to the UK. Worked for pennies, having nothing to my name. Coming back to the United States as the woman who stood all by her lonesome. Becoming champion was the icing on the cake of my journey. So when I was given the chance to choose the stipulation for this fight I knew I needed to go big. I need the fans and the company to understand, being the Chaos Champion means the world to me. I want the Chaos Division to become great. The day I lose, I want the next woman to know I left her with a responsibily she will feel burdened to live up to.
I thrive under pressure. Already proven that. No. The reason I am nervous is pretty obvious. In order to fulfill my mission, I placed myself in a position where I am left with no other option than the choke out the woman I still love.
[:: Charlotte smiles.::]
Charlotte Haliday: I didn’t stutter. Lass, I still love you. There is no way I can separate my journey as Chaos Champion without you. You are the one who helped nurse me back to health after my grueling fight with Zoe. You are the one I decided to lower my guard with. You are the one I gave my heart to. Damn obvious you mean the world to me. Me wanting to show that I am a badass choosing a stipulation where hurting you is the name of the game. Will I be able to follow through? Do I have it in me to do what is necessary? I have no choice. I backed myself into a corner. Sorry love, I have no choice.
Someone I won’t feel sorry for choking out is Arley Kirk. We had no issues. For whatever reason you decided to tell me I was fucked? Please. Bigger and badder women tried telling me I had no chance in hell. I put all of them down. I beat a hardcore Queen not once but twice as part of my story. What really irks me Arley is you disrespected Lass. You fucked up. No one disrespects the woman I love and gets away with it. It needs to be me who makes you pay for the crime you committed.
[::Charlotte slides down the hood of the car. She grabs her Chaos Championship.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Welcome to my jungle ladies, only the true predators survive. I don’t care what I need to do. I will be the last woman standing.
[::Charlotte smirks as the scene fades back to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a Hardcore match scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit, introducing first...
[::"Global Domination by Sounds Like Chicken" hits the system and the WWR fans are deafening! Arley opens her juice box, quickly skolls it down and she achieves a rumble of laughter as she slams the empty carton on her forehead several times, and then she suddenly jumps down onto the support structure of the video screen.::]
Arianna Grey: Sliding down the poles of the WWRTron at this time..
[::Arley hits the ramp and leaps into the air doing a hyper enthusiastic rendition of the mid air splits. Beaming happily, Arley reaches out to high five and fist bump and every fan who reaches out on her way down the ramp.::]
Arianna Grey: From Lake Fenton, Michigan. She is the Suicide Blonde, Arley Kirk!!
Alexis Rose: Here she is Monica! The triumphant return of Arley Kirk to WWR! We haven't seen her since late last year when she was driven out of the company by the Queen's Court!
Monica Powers: That's true, but with new management running WWR now it opened the window of opportunity for Arley to return to the company that she originally called home. Personally speaking, I'm very happy to see her back in a WWR ring!
[::She gives her light up angel wings and a hug to a young girl in the front row and then there is a slight commotion as she throws several juice boxes into the crowd on her way to ringside, several fans scrambling to catch them. Arley skins the cat to enter the ring and then throws up her trademark taunt to a huge pop. Arley's music fades as she showcases her speed, running a criss cross pattern in anticipation of her opponent. The camera zooms in as Arley hits a mid air cartwheel mid-run and lands on her feet, fist bumping the closest camera. Arley bounces from side to side as she looks up the ramp...::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::Lass appears on the stage as soon as "Indestructible by Disturbed" starts, her eyes focused on the ring. She makes her way down the ramp, laser focused on the task in front of her.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia. She is Lassindra Vivara Vodanya!
Monica Powers: The last time we heard from Lass she was in a relationship with the Chaos Champion and a member of the Phoenix Coalition. Months later, we aren't really sure what's going on. Her and Charlotte are clearly no longer together and her alliance to the Coalition remains a mystery at this time...
Alexis Rose: We don't have all the answers about Lass for sure, but we do know that she's been hitting the gym hard in 2020 more so than ever before and she looks absolutely ripped now! It will be interesting to see if that will give her an advantage in a match like this tonight or not.
[::Lass climbs up the stairs, and steps through the ropes before making her way to the middle of the ring, striking various bodybuilding poses before giving the camera a wink and backing into her corner making brief eye contact with Arley as she does.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::"I Stand Alone by Godsmack" hits the PA Speakers as Charlotte Haliday hits the stage to a mixed reaction, but a strong one regardless. She has a smug grin on her face and the WWR Chaos Championship draped over her shoulder as she makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. She is the WWR Chaos Champion...Charlotte Haliday!
Monica Powers: You have to wonder if our owner is regretting his decision to allow the Chaos Champion to dictate the matches in which they will defend their title in. Haliday certainly threw WWR Management a curve ball with her request.
Alexis Rose: I really don't think they regret it at all. I have to imagine our owner knew what he was getting into when he made this decision to begin with! It's certainly going to make some really interesting matches going forward that's for sure! You never know what we might see!
[::Charlotte slides underneath the bottom rope. She sits in the corner lost in her own thoughts waiting for the match to start as the referee comes over and gets the championship from her. They walk around the ring showing it to both Arley and Lass before raising it up for the crowd to see before handing it off to the time keeper before calling for the bell to get this title match underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
All three women stare at one another after the bell rings, and it’s Kirk who strikes first, catching Vodanya who has stepped to the center of the ring with her eyes on Haliday, with a huge huricanrana, bringing the towering Russian to the mat with a loud slam. Charlotte moves in as Arley gets to her feet, and the champ jumps in, hitting an elbow drop on the downed giant before the Suicide Blonde immediately follows up with a standing moonsault. The smaller two women in this match turn toward each other as Lass rolls to the ropes.
Charlotte and Arley squaring off now, trading shots in the middle of the ring. Haliday looks for a big, knockout looping punch, but Kirk matrix evades the swing, turning to leap up and hit the champion with a momentum stopping Frankensteiner! Arley stars to drag Charlotte back toward the closest tie up for the leashes, but Charlotte panics, throwing a kick from her position on her back and catching Suicida under the chin and dazing her, which causes her to stumble back further into the Cold Snap! Kirk let’s out a yelp as the Russian executes the chokeslam backbreaker, but as soon as she hits the mat, she wisely rolls out under the bottom rope and to the floor.
Lass turns to Charlotte, looking down at the champion, who already has a laser lock on the challenger. The Russian comes in at a run, looking for a big boot, but Haliday ducks under, hitting the ropes on the other side before diving into the back of Vodanya’s knee. The Storm roars, dropping to a knee, clutching the other as Charlotte comes back off the ropes one more time and delivers a sliding elbow strike to finish off her burst of offense before dragging the wounded Russian to the ropes and attempting to put on one of the collars. Lass hits Charlotte with a short series of jabs to the jaw, fighting out of the smaller woman’s grip and leaving her stunned. As Vodanya reaches out to grab the champion, Kirk flies in from out of NOWHERE, hitting the Siberian Storm with a HUGE KIRKENSTEINER! Charlotte stumbles backwards as Arley kips up to her feet, grabbing the closest collar and wrapping it around the Russian’s neck, locking it into place. Lass shakes off her daze, realizing what’s happened, and roars, lashing out with a huge right hand, but Kirk ducks it, grabbing the huge Russian woman by a thigh and attempts to lift Vodanya over the rope. Charlotte comes in, but only manages to catch a stiff kick from Lass, who is doing everything she can to fight off the two women from her position. Charlotte falls backwards onto her butt, and Arley looks back, still trying to push Lass over when she feels a giant hand wrap around her throat.
Lass throws Arley off of her before frantically trying to remove the collar. What she doesn’t realize, however, is that both Charlotte and Arley are on their feet, out of the giant’s reach. They look at one another, then to Lass, before Arley takes off like a flash, hitting the ropes on the opposite side of the ring, coming in at full speed to nail Lass with a dropkick into the ropes, which takes the Russian off of her feet before Charlotte, with a small look of remorse, clotheslines Lass the rest of the way over. Vodanya tries to catch the apron as she goes over, but her feet slip, dropping her into the dreaded hanging position. The big Russian struggles, kicking her feet and clawing at the collar around her neck as the match continues.
Haliday and Kirk now, fighting on the opposite side of the ring. Arley lands a couple of stiff European Uppercuts to the champion, but Charlotte fires back with a few stiff chops of her own, neither woman gaining much ground before Kirk leaps up, springboarding off the ropes and nailing Charlotte with a crossbody. The champion rolls through, however, repositioning herself to deliver EARLY HALIDAY, driving Arley headfirst into the mat. Charlotte stumbles to her feet, grabbing the collar and locking it around Kirk’s neck. There’s a gasp from the crowd as the camera pans over to show Lass Vodanya, red in the face, standing on the apron, gasping for breath. Charlotte leans Arley up against the ropes before sprinting across the ring and delivering a shoulder block to Lass through the middle rope, driving Vodanya back into the hanging position, before sprinting back to the other side, looking for a lariat to send Kirk over. Arley, who is trying to remove the collar, has her wits about her, and ducks the lariat, causing Haliday to crash into the ropes and fall over backwards. The camera pans over to reveal that Lass Vodanya has passed out, having been eliminated from the match as stagehands rush over to remove the collar and lower the Russian to the floor at ringside.
Arley on her feet now, with Charlotte right behind her. Haliday comes in, and Kirk meets her, even with the chain keeping her tied to the rope, and the two begin to exchange blows once again. Charlotte, with a smirk, takes a chop across the chest from Arley before stomping on the Suicide Blonds foot, reaching up and raking the eyes of her masked opponent immediately after. Kirk howls, clutching at her face, before Haliday gets around behind her, lifting the blonde into the electric chair position before unceremoniously dumping her over the top rope. Arley struggles in vain, but before long, she too has fallen unconscious.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and STILL WWR Chaos Champion... Charlotte Haliday!
[::The referee hands Charlotte her belt, and Haliday snatches it away, that grin on her face as she raises it above her head, and her music begins to play. She does a circle around the ring, holding the Chaos Title high over her head, before running straight into Lass Vodanya, who is standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in her hand.::]
Lassindra Vodanya: Cut the music.
[::The Russian’s voice is raspy, her throat already showing the ugly bruising she’ll be dealing with for the next week or so, as she stares down at the Champion, who is nearly a foot shorter than she is.::]
Lassindra Vodanya: Charlotte Haliday. CHAOS Champion. “The Woman Who Walks Alone.”
[::The Russian begins to pace back and forth. There is a small cheer from the audience as Arley is helped to her feet by the medical team, and both Lass and Charlotte offer a bit of applause as the fan favorite makes her way back up the ramp to the locker room.::]
Lassindra Vodanya: As I was saying… you were not always the Lone Wolf. I believe I remember a certain spectacularly fit woman who used to stand at your side, and even nursed you back to health after you won that title. Oh. Right. That was me.
[::Charlotte has her title over her shoulder, one hand on her hip, a look on her face of confusion, wondering what point the Russian could possibly be trying to make.::]
Lassindra Vodanya: Ever since WWR has reopened and this match has been announced, you and I have been speaking in private about it. How we weren’t sure how we’d be able to face one another in such a stipulation. But we are warriors. You and Arley…
[::The crowd claps and cheers once again for the Suicide Blonde. Lass lets it go for a minute before raising her hand for silence. The crowd complies.::]
Lassindra Vodanya: ...the two of you made the right decision, seeking to eliminate me first. I don’t blame either one of you. But all that did was prepare me for exactly what I had planned to do to you immediately after this match was over, if you were still in the ring when I’d regained consciousness…
[::The Russian drops the microphone, reaching out and grabbing Charlotte by the hand. Haliday looks up in surprise, immediately getting into a defensive stance before her face changes to one of shock as Lass drops to a knee, and picks the microphone back up.::]
Lassindra Vodanya: We have been through hell together Charlotte Haliday. We were separated for months because of our own hard headedness, and we’ve both admitted this. We’ve done things we aren’t proud of. But what did we realize? What we truly realized through all of this is that the love we have for one another has not dimmed in the slightest.
[::Tears begin to fall from the Russian’s face as she reaches into her pocket, and takes out a small ring box, opening it before looking back up at Charlotte with a smile.::]
Lassindra Vodanya: Charlotte Haliday. Would you do me the absolute honor and pleasure of being my wife?
[::Speechless, Charlotte puts her hands to her face. The camera is locked on the two women as the CHAOS champion finally nods, saying yes loud enough that the microphone can pick it up before bursting into tears and wrapping her arms around Lass’ neck, kissing her there in the ring. The two celebrate as the crowd cheers.::]
Monica Powers: Well I certainly didn't expect THAT!!!
Alexis Rose: Hah! You and me both, Monica! But congratulations to the happy couple! What a moment here on Battleground!
Monica Powers: While we get everything cleaned up here after that crazy match we need to take quick commercial break, we'll be right back folks!
[::WWR Battleground returns from commercial break backstage, where we see Katrina Showtime with Jane Adler and Sadie Cassidy, as the two managed to come up victorious against Cappadonna and Nari Chang of the Satsujin Triad earlier in the evening on WWR Dark.::]
Katrina Showtime: Congratulations, and well done against the Satsujin Triad. You won a grudge match after they had won previously in WWR's previous reincarnation. How are you feeling now, and what is your plan in the company?
Sadie Cassidy: Feeling pretty damn good, Katrina! Always great to start in the right direction, and Jane and I are looking to keep this place clean.
Jane Adler: That's right. Cappadonna and Nari assumed that we are the same team they met a few months ago, but, we've learned quickly, and plan on earning a shot at the tag titles!
[::As they speak, we hear a slow, mocking clap, as Malaya Diyosa would emerge to interrupt. The leader of the Satsujin Triad emerged, ready to fight for the Battleground title in just a few minutes, as she commented.::]
Malaya Diyosa: Well done... you know what they say, a broken clock is right twice a day.
[::Malaya said, mocking the two, as she hijacked their segment. The more hotheaded member of the Regulators speaks up, calling her out.::]
Sadie Cassidy: You wanting a taste, too? We'd love to beat up the whole Triad!
Malaya Diyosa: Calm down before you embarrass yourself. I'm not here for a fight you two, because, I have much more important people to fight against. Unlike you two, who coast off luck and the poor choices of your opponents, I will be fighting for the Battleground Championship. Not only will I liberate the title from Crystal, I will set the gears in motion for the Satsujin Triad to take over this company... and no one, especially two little girls playing dress-up will stop us.
[::Malaya said in a cold, confident tone whilst both member of the Regulators stare daggers at her.::]
Malaya Diyosa: But, I want you two to relish in the minor victory you had tonight. We don't plan on slipping up again, and I plan on fixing their mistakes. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a fight to prepare for. You should tune in, perhaps you might learn something.
[::Malaya said, as she dismissed herself, while the camera focused on Jane and Sadie, who were both annoyed by her attitude. The camera would shift to ringside for the next match up.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a Fatal Four Way scheduled for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit and it is for the WWR Battleground Championship, introducing first...
[::Smoke fills the entrance as "Broken Dreams by Shaman's Harvest" plays. Eve steps out through the smoke, in a leather vest and Sunglasses. She completely ignores the booing crowd as she makes her way to the ring...::]
Arianna Grey: From Virginia Beach, Virginia. She is, The Goddess...Eve O'Donnell!
Monica Powers: Our second title defense tonight and if Eve O'Donnell has anything to say about it, she's walking out of here tonight with that Battleground Championship around her waist...
Alexis Rose: The history between Eve and Azurine is well documented, lets hope for Eve's sake that she doesn't let tunnel vision distract her from the ultimate goal tonight of becoming the new champion!
[::Eve enters the ring. She climbs the second turnbuckle and raises her balled fists above her head. She smirks as she enjoys the sound of the boos.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"California Queen by WolfMother" hits, as Malaya comes out from the back with a shower of Orchid petals blown in from the wind behind her. The self-proclaimed monarch of WWR makes her way toward the ring with a confident strut...::]
Arianna Grey: From Monterrey, California. Representing the Satsujin Triad. She is...Malaya Diyosa!!
Monica Powers: And here comes the leader of the Satsujin Triad...
Alexis Rose: She was clearly not happy with how her stablemates performed earlier tonight on Dark, but she needs to block all of that out if she wants to finally capture her first title here in WWR tonight.
[::As Malaya enters under the bottom rope and rolled onto one knee and poses briefly in the center of the ring, and then gets up to waits for the rest of her opponents to arrive.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::As "Radio Gaga by Queen" prominently plays throughout the arena, "The Adorkable Angel" Azurine Vebbins pirouettes onto the entrance ramp. A solitary spotlight provides an ethereal glow as she begins to descend down the ramp like an automaton practicing aerobics.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Los Angeles, California. She is, the Adorkable Angel...Azurine Vebbins!
Monica Powers: The Adorkable Angel is in the house and if the RevWire has told us anything, Vebbins will be going right after O'Donnell tonight.
Alexis Rose: There is no love loss between these two women for sure. But their rivalry might end up being the key to the Champion successfully retaining her title here at Revolution X!
[::She performs various other dance steps while making her way to the eastern ring apron. Along the way, she waves, high-fives and hugs certain chanters she comes into contact with. When a chanter puckers up for a kiss, she points to her halo (neck collar). Upon entering the eastern ring apron, she glides between the bottom and middle ropes before awaiting referee instruction and her final opponent of the evening.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::"Mega Man 3 Intro 8 bit remake by Video Game Music Remakers" begins to blast all across the speakers as it does so Christina Zdunich makes her way from the back curtain with her wife Seleana Zdunich. Christina smiles as she blows kisses to the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring. She slaps the outstretched hands of all of the roaring fans...::]
Arianna Grey: From Detroit, Michigan. She is the WWR Battleground Champion...Crystal Zdunich!!
Monica Powers: And here comes the reigning and defending WWR Battleground Champion! Crystal is in the house!
Alexis Rose: So far she's had a pretty impressive reign, and with WWR having a few month break makes her the longest reigning Battleground Champion in our companies history, but does she make it out of this match with that championship still intact?
[::Crystal quickly slides into the ring and kips up to her feet as she waves her hands in the air getting the crowd behind her. She jumps around a bit as she tosses her eye glasses to her fiancee. Seleana smiles as she catches them as she claps for her wife as Crystal hands the title off to the referee, they show it to the challengers before showing it to the crowd and calling for the bell to start the match up..::]
DING! DING! DING!
As the bell rings, it quickly becomes apparent that there's no love lost between Eve O'Donnell and champion Crystal Zdunich as Eve wastes zero time in lunging at Zdunich with her patented double leg takedown, proceeding to pummel her with fast rights. The camera pans over to Vebbins and Diyosa who are duking it out with forearm strikes. A look of panic crosses the face of Diyosa as Azzy catches a sharp right, twists her back around and reels her into an almost snap-like northern lights suplex! Diyosa lands right on top of Zdunich who just managed to free herself from the vice grip and punishing right hands of Eve O'Donnell! Gal can't catch a break!
Azzy Vebbins quickly turns around as Eve O'Donnell lets out an angry roar, and Azzy gets turned inside out by a vicious running lariat!
Eve also lunged at Malaya as she was getting to her feet, but Malaya was able to catch her in the act and using Eve's own momentum, sent her flying with a deep arm drag! A groggy Azzy Vebbins was using the ropes for stability. Malaya let out a battle cry and ran full speed ahead at Azzy but to Malaya's surprise, Azzy huddled down and sent her sailing to the outside with a huge fireman's carry slam over the top to the floor!
Azzy spots Zdunich getting back up and she takes an arm before kneeing Crystal twice in the sternum.. Superkick! And a DDT! SWEETHEART SOCK HOP by Vebbins! And... WHOA!! The small crowd in the arena is loud enough to almost take the roof off the place as Eve comes out of nowhere..
BROKEN DREAMS FROM THE SHADOWS!! Eve seizes her chance to go for the cover on Zdunich right as Diyosa starts to get back up.
Malaya wasn't fast enough to break the pinfall! We have a new Battleground champion.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and NEW WWR Battleground Champion, Eve O'Donnell!
[::The crowd is less than thrilled at this title change as the fans throw trash into the ring at the new Battleground Champion. Eve chucks it out right back as the referee hands her the championship and she holds it high above her head...::]
Monica Powers: Well I wasn't sure if we could have a more hated champion than Susan Rigger...
Alexis Rose: Hah! I think you might be onto something there, this crowd in Pittsburgh is NOT happy!
Monica Powers: Eve has been talking trash non-stop for weeks but she backed it up tonight and clearly the WWR faithful aren't happy about it.
Alexis Rose: Gotta believe the fans will firmly be behind the challengers Diamond Caldwell and Victoria Salinas in two weeks time right here on Battleground! We've got another commercial break to take but we'll be right back with more WWR Battleground! Don't go anywhere!
[::Battleground returns from commercial break as Bobbi Jackson sits on the couch in the Phoenix Coalition locker room across from Super Tiger who is finishing getting ready. The blonde glances at the clock before standing up as she speaks to her adopted daughter.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Our big tag match is up next, how are you feeling?
[::The fans cheer for Bobbi, and pop once again as the diminutive dynamo known as Super Tiger turns toward her mother, adjusting the straps on her mask. The mask she wears tonight is special, featuring a Phoenix of it's own on the back.::]
Super Tiger: Excited to be back in a WWR ring. Nervous to go up against the Queen's Court. Absolutely READY to stand at your side and show those to tanning bed dumb dumbs what tag team wrestling is all about!
[::Bobbi chuckles slightly and gently rubs Super Tiger on her back before patting it gently as she says rather softly.::]
Bobbi Jackson: A lot has changed since March. I'm honestly not sure how Eliza and Susan are going to work as a team. Because I want to believe in my heart that I have slowly but surely been getting through to her...
[::There is a glimmer of hope in the voice of the Phoenix, consistently always trying to see the best in the people she cares about, whether they deserve it or not.::]
Super Tiger: If anyone can do it, it's you mama! Me? I'm gonna kick the Queen's boobs off!
[::Risa giggles, looking up at the blonde.::]
Super Tiger: Heck. I heard one of the Queen's Court isn't even gonna wrestle no more! Stupid Eden...
[::Bobbi laughs hard at Super Tigers joke but also listens to the rest of what she has to say as she nods.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Well that's true, but they did add Daria to their ranks tonight, so we could use all the help we can get. I haven't given up hope yet.
[::Super Tiger taps her chin with her index finger, signaling she's in thought.::]
Super Tiger: Well, the Queen may have another cronie, but you know what you have?
[::The luchadora wraps her arms around Bobbi's waist, hugging the blonde woman tight.::]
Super Tiger: Family! And if you think we can make Eliza see that Susan is just a dummy and she's better off away from her? Well then I'll help however I can!
[::Bobbi smiles warmly as she sniffs a bit returning the hug goo and tight.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Thank you sweetie, lets go out there and kick some Queen's Court ass, okay?
[::Super Tiger nods, releasing the hug. She clenches a fist and thrusts it into the air!::]
Super Tiger: Hai! SUPER TIGER PHOENIX RESU GO!!!
Bobbi Jackson: Let's do it!
[::Bobbi says opening the door of the locker room letting Super Tiger exit first as she follows behind her as we're taken to another location backstage into the locker-room of the Queen's Court. Susan Rigger is pacing back and forth, hands behind her back, while Eliza Frost laces up her boots, both preparing for the tag battle against the Phoenix Coalition looming ahead.::]
Susan Rigger: Our plan is absolutely clear, correct? We isolate and conquer, I'd personally prefer to target Bobbi, but that pet of hers IS an easier target, so we will take whichever one wanders into our trap.
[::Eliza absently nods her head while Susan rambles on.::]
Susan Rigger: We will prove these fools' efforts to be in vain at every turn, grind down their resolve as the reality of our superiority becomes undeniable even to their delusional minds.
[::The younger Frost sister realizes her hands have stopped moving and she hurriedly resumes tightening the laces. Susan raises an eyebrow at her tag partner for the evening seeming less than fully present in the moment.::]
Susan Rigger: ...Is everything alright? I need you to stay sharp out there. We're better, but this is no easy foe, we need to keep our heads cool and focused. You CAN do this.
[::Eliza finally looks up and nods as her gaze meets Susan's.::]
Eliza Frost: Absolutely I can. I'm ME, remember?
[::She finishes tying a tight knot and stands up, hands on her shapely hips.::]
Eliza Frost: Staying Frosty is what I do. It's why I'm an ace in the Court's sleeve.
[::She winks at Susan and the Suplex Queen approvingly pats her shoulder as Battleground returns to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit, introducing first...
[::"The Phoenix by Fallout Boy" blares over the PA Speakers as Alexa Cannon steps onto the stage and turns back and motions to the opening as Bobbi Jackson and Super Tiger burst onto the scene. Fire pyro shoots from the sides of the stage as the trio pose for the cameras as Alexa heads down the aisle as Bobbi and Super Tiger strike a pose for the fans and cameras filming their entrance before joining Alexa and making their way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Being accompanied by Alexa Cannon, representing the Phoenix Coalition...The team of the Rising Phoenix Bobbi Jackson and one half of the WWR World Tag Team Champions...Super Tiger!
Alexis Rose: Well this match was originally scheduled to happen a few months back but I can't help but think that this match means a lot more to these three women now...
Monica Powers: That is very true Alexis, it has become common knowledge that Bobbi and Alexa are now Super Tiger's adoptive parents. To be able to share this moment together has to be truly special!
[::The trio salute the fans in attendance on their way to the ring as Alexa remains at ringside as Bobbi and Super Tiger hop into the ring and strike another pose for the crowd. Tiger holding her tag title in the air proudly before they turn their attention to the stage, they know what awaits them and their faces quickly turn serious.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponents...
[::"Bite the Dust by The Pussycat Dolls" hits the PA Speakers as the WWR Revolutionary Champion, Eliza Frost-Showtime walks out onto the stage alongside the WWR World Champion the Suplex Queen Susan Rigger as the duo holds their titles high in the air to a mixed reaction from the crowd but mostly boos. The two brunettes exchange soft words with one another before making their way to the ring...::]
Arianna Grey: Representing the Queen's Court, the team of the WWR Revolutionary Champion Eliza Frost-Showtime and the WWR World Champion the Suplex Queen...Susan Rigger!
Monica Powers: A lot of gold making its way to the ring right now, and I guess I should take the time to thank Eliza for her hubby buying WWR out and bringing the company back into the national spotlight.
Alexis Rose: I don't believe that is necessary. What I DO think is necessary to mention is the fact that Eliza and Susan haven't seemed completely on the same page over the last two weeks, I can't help but wonder if that will factor into tonight's tag match!
[::Eliza enters through the middle rope, shaking her ass a bit which gets a good reaction from the crowd as Susan rolls her eyes a bit behind Eliza's back as she hops over the top rope and enters the ring and stands beside her partner. The four women already exchanging words as the referee tries to keep everyone separated so they can collect their titles before calling for the bell to get this tag match underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
As Susan and Super Tiger step out of the ring the bell is rung and Bobbi and Eliza meet in the middle of the ring, Eliza reaching a hand out for a shake. Susan smirks as she expects it to be a trap, but as the women shake hands and break away her expression sours disappointed. Eliza and Bobbi lock up and after matching strengths go into a series of grapples, both jockeying for a superior position as they take one another down, grab and bend limbs, make tehir way back to their feet and switch around who seems to have the advantage over and over. Suddenly Bobbi pivots on spot and her arms swings around in a Discus Clothesline, Eliza hurriedly raising her arms to block it, but the impact sends her staggering backward and as she does Susan reaches out to slap her shoulder, tagging herself in.
The intensity of the bout immediately goes up as Susan rushes past Eliza to get at her long time rival and once friend and Bobbi greets her by just pouncing at the oncoming brunette to take her down in Lou Thesz Press before she starts raining down blows on the Suplex Queen. Susan suddenly sharply bucks her hips to get Bobbi off her and as the blonde loses her balance Susan in turn straddles her, gripping Bobbi's hair to bash her head against the canvas. The two tumble and brawl their way back to their feet, neither holding back. Bobbi's head jerks back as Susan swings her arm and bashes her forearm up under the blonde's chin in a European Uppercut that staggers her and she surges after her like a great cat going for the throat, slipping past Bobbi and wrapping her arms around her waist. Bobbi knows better than to let the Suplex Queen have her way and a few elbows flung back allow her to pry Susan's hands apart so she can fire a backward kick that drives her heel into Susan's belly.
Super Tiger excitedly reaches over the ropes and waves her arm at at Bobbi, the Phoenix nodding as she grabs Susan's head, squeezing her arm around it as she drags her along over to tag Risa in, the excited beauty jumping clear over the ropes to dash across the ring and back after hitting the ropes. Bobbi times it just right and shoves Susan at the ropes right as Tiger goes flying through them, grabbing the ropes to swing her legs around and blast Susan right in the gut with the There and Back Again kick, knocking the wind out of the busty Britt's sails as she staggers back, holding her belly. Super Tiger springboards off the top rope to press her knees against the bent over brunette's back and grab her head as she yanks her along, her momentum driving Susan back first onto Risa's knees. Tiger jumps up excitedly and almost goes for a high five, but instead shares a thumbs up with Bobbi.
Bobbi's eyes widen though and she tries to point Risa's attention behind her as Susan, teeth grit angrily, kips up to her feet and rushes in, wrapping her arms around Super Tiger's waist. Risa kicks her feet about, but the Suplex Queen has her in her clutches and before she can escape she's yanked up into the air and brought up and over in a German Suplex, the back of her head and shoulders slamming against the canvas. Susan drags the stunned beauty by her hair to the Court's corner where she tags Eliza in. From there both Court members tag back and forth, wearing Super Tiger down as they separate her from her partner, Bobbi looking anxious as Susan scoops Risa off her feet and slams her back first onto Eliza's knee.
Susan is smirkingly dragging Super Tiger up by her hair when suddenly the masked beauty jumps and twists her body around, her leg slicing through the air to bash against the side of the buxom brunette's head in Enzuigiri that briefly stuns her, but Risa is so badly beaten up she's practically limping toward Bobbi's reaching out hand. Before she can tag out though Susan grabs her by the ankles and tries to drag her away, but the determined Tiger claws at the canvas, refusing to let her. Susan shouts at Eliza to grab a chair, but the younger Frost sister just raises an eyebrow, staring incredulously as her eyes dart between the demandingly staring Suplex Queen and the girl desperately struggling in her clutches and finally she just shakes her head. Susan is so shocked by her disobedience that she just stares in stunned silence for a moment before just stomping over to Eliza, demanding that she explain herself as she pokes fellow Court member's chest. Eliza huffs and slaps Susan's hand away and soon the two are shouting at one another until Susan just shoves at Eliza, sending her stumbling backward down the steel steps, only just managing not to fall over. With her opponents bust Super Tiger manages gather her strength to fling herself at Bobbi, tagging her adoptive mother in.
Bobbi just explodes into the ring, her gaze all but burning a hole through Susan as she charges across the ring at her and tries to drive her shoulder right through her with a Spear that blasts the Suplex Queen off her feet. Nowhere hear done with Susan, she drags the brunette beauty to her knees by her hair, then steps back and just Superkicks her square across the jaw, Susan's eyes glazing over a bit as she falls down face first. Bobbi shakes her head as she pulls the buxon Britt's all but limp form to its knees and stuffs Susan's head between her thighs, hooking her arms around Rigger's before she hops and drops sharply to her knees, driving Susan's face into the canvas with a Pedigree. Bobbi flips Susan over onto her back and presses her forearm across her face as she grabs a leg and firmly hooks it for a pin as the referee counts to three, then calls for the bell.
Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, Bobbi Jackson and Super Tiger...the Phoenix Coalition!
[::Eliza huffs grumbling to herself as she grabs her Revolutionary Championship and storms away from ringside, her title over her shoulder. As she reaches the stage she stops and turns around. Her stare meets Bobbi's who is having her hand raised in the ring with Super Tiger by the referee. Bobbi kinda nods at Eliza, looking a bit confused. The curvy brunette champion slightly nods back before turning and heading backstage...::]
Alexis Rose: A big win for the Coalition and there certainly looks to be some dissension within the Queen's Court!
Monica Powers: Absolutely it does! I can't imagine Susan is going to be too pleased when she comes to...
Alexis Rose: Well, Eliza didn't look happy either. Had she fallen wrong backward down those steel steps they could have been seriously hurt!
Monica Powers: Well luckily no one was injured here, I gotta wonder what the owner thinks about what just went down?
Alexis Rose: I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. But until then...lets take it backstage to the two competitors in tonight's main event!
[::Battleground shifts backstage, where Envy Ellis, the WWR Goddess of the Cage Champion, can be seen standing by. The Championship belt wrapped around her waist and clad in her ring gear, she paces back and forth.::]
Envy Ellis: When WWR started back in October of last year, I signed the dotted line with a big mouth and no reputation. I knew how great I was, but no one else did. And since the night of Opening Salvo, there was an albatross hanging around my neck… Zoe Jane.
[::Envy works her tongue in her cheek, nodding her head.::]
Envy Ellis: For the following five months, Zoe and I have been involved in this tit-for-tat back and forth, and through the entire time, she has seemingly been my kryptonite. That was supposed to end back in March, but then the real world hit. I don’t want to go into the reasons WWR went on it’s hiatus before I was set to defend this Championship against her in my cage, but know that if I could take those “reasons” and put them into a person, I’d tap them out faster than I did Lacey Turner.
[::She nods her head, pacing around a bit more.::]
Envy Ellis: But tonight isn’t about any hiatus or outside forces or anything like that. Tonight is about closure for me. From the very beginning, I KNEW I could defeat Zoe, but I’d get overzealous. I’d leave myself too open to mistakes, and those mistakes cost me.
[::Envy sighs heavily.::]
Envy Ellis: Then I was left with nothing. Off on an island as the company’s hiatus happened. WWR X was supposed to be the night back in MARCH where I finally got that monkey off my back, and instead it became a lingering thread that I couldn’t just pluck out. Instead of putting Zoe behind me, I was left without closure. I had to look for it in a world where I didn’t have that finality. I don’t know if you know this about me, but I find it difficult to move on. That’s why, when Michael Showtime announced he was bringing WWR back, I was the FIRST PERSON to sign the dotted line. I need this… if for nothing else, for closure.
[::She turns to the camera.::]
Envy Ellis: Zoe, tonight you have a shot at this… the Goddess of the Cage Championship. To do that, you have to legitimately DEFEAT me. No fluke roll-ups. No watching me throw myself through a table. You defeat me tonight, I’ll be the first person to say that you deserve to do so and that you’re the better wrestler. But I beat you? There will be NOTHING you can say that will change that. And tonight, you’re in my world. I have been using this downtime to hone my skills. I am not the same woman you faced all those months ago. Tonight, you are facing a honed machine… you are facing the Goddess of the Cage! Tonight, in the main event, I’m going to show the world what I have been saying from the very beginning…
[::Envy grins.::]
Envy Ellis: I’ve got you. Tonight I put you down, and then move on.
[::Without another word, Envy walks out of the scene. The camera shifts else where to find the challenger in Zoe Jane, who takes a deep breath as she stands behind the curtain, her eyes shut while she holds the breath in... then slowly lets it out.::]
Zoe Jane: It comes down to this. Years of training. Months of battling to best one another. Weeks of preparation for this match.
[::Her eyes open, a determined gaze trying to pierce the curtain before her and stare into the future ahead.::]
Zoe Jane: It's time to settle things once and for all. Envy and me have clashed over and over and we've found reserves to tap into within ourselves that we never knew we had and discovered respect for one another.
[::Her fists tightly clench by her sides.::]
Zoe Jane: Yet the question remain. Who is better? Who is able to push themselves further than the other? Who will be standing in the end? After tonight there will be no doubt.
[::She sucks in another deep breath, this time her eyes remaining open and determinedly staring ahead.::]
Zoe Jane: From everyone in the Phoenix Coalition I still have the most to prove, I have an obligation to live up to the expectations my team has put on me and I do NOT plan to prove their faith to be misplaced.
[::She closes her eyes again, then gives her cheeks a slap as her eyes snap open.::]
Zoe Jane: I REFUSE to let them down.
[::Just then Bobbi and Risa come through the curtains, almost bumping into Zoe. Seeing the burning determination in her eyes, they smile, Bobbi patting Zoe's shoulder while Risa briefly squeezes her close, then kisses her cheek before releasing her embrace. Zoe looks to both of them and nods before she steps through the curtains, pausing as she sees the structure being erected for the coming battle.::]
Zoe Jane: I guess, heh, it's show time...
[::And with that, Battleground takes its final commercial break of the evening.::]
[::As WWR Battleground returns from its final commercial break of the evening, fans at home are able to witness the new Goddess of the Cage structure for the first time that the WWR staff put together during the last backstage segments and commercial break. It is now time for the main event...::]
Arianna Grey: This following contest is your main event of the evening and it is for the Goddess of the Cage Championship! With a sixty-minute time limit, introducing first...
[::As "Roar by Katy Perry" hits the speakers Zoe Jane steps out onto the stage and makes her way down to the ring, slapping fans' reaching out hands as she makes her way down the aisle...::]
Arianna Grey: The challenger, from Baltimore, Maryland. She is representing the Phoenix Coalition and is one half of the WWR World Tag Team Champions, she is...Zoe Jane!
Alexis Rose: There have been multiple rivalries throughout the history of WWR but there is one that the fans would argue stand out among the rest and that is the war between Zoe and Envy.
Monica Powers: It started on our very first show! Over the Battleground Championship, from there the two have exchanged wins back and forth, with Zoe getting the better of the champion more often than not, but does she have her number to win in the confines of a cage match like this? We will find out tonight!
[::With a running start Zoe launches herself up onto the cage. Climbing along it, she heads to the corner and climbs the cage, standing high as she peers out into the crowd, then raises her arms high before yanking them down, fists clenched, and tossing her head back as she lets out a piercing cry of challenge, like a cockerel atop a weather vane. She nods approvingly at the crowd responding to her before she climbs down into the ring awaiting the arrival of her rival...::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::The opening guitar for “Blow by Ed Sheeran, Chris Stapleton, and Bruno Mars" plays out over the crowd for a few seconds before…::]
“OHHHHHHHHH!!!”
[::As the song kicks in, Envy Ellis steps out from the back dressed in her ring gear with a towel draped over her neck and the Goddess of the Cage Championship slung over her shoulder. She doesn’t pose or play to the crowd, choosing instead to walk directly towards the cage.::]
Arianna Grey: From Washington, DC, she is the WWR Goddess of the Cage Champion...Envy Ellis!
Monica Powers: And here comes the woman who has yet to be defeated in the confines of the Goddess of the Cage division, Envy Ellis! She looks absolutely intense here tonight!!
Alexis Rose: It has been a long time coming, both women have awaited this match for MONTHS! Probably Envy even more so. She feels like she has something to prove to herself tonight, I hope for her sake she's prepared for whatever happens...
[::As Envy reaches the bottom of the ramp, she throws the towel off her neck to the floor and walks through the cage door. Moving to the opposite side, she climbs onto the cage and throws her arms out. After repeating this process with the other three sides of the structure, she moves to her corner of the cage to await the start of the match. The referee reminds both women of the rules of this type of match before raising the championship up high and handing it out the door before the cage closes and calls for the bell to get this main event underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
The two women stand on opposite sides of the cage circling around one another, nodding to one another in acknowledgement before colliding into one another as they lock up in the middle of the ring and it is on, both women trading takedowns and grappling on the mat as the vie for advantage. Inevitably Envy's technical wizardry gains her the advantage as while Zoe attempts to slip from her opponent's grasp she leaves her leg wide open for Envy to grab and twist herself around to entangle her legs with it in the painfully joint-bending Vice.
Zoe desperately kicks at Envy to slip her leg free, but smelling proverbial blood in the water the submissionist comes right after her, looking to press the advantage. Zoe, throwing caution to the wind, literally bounces off the cage though to fling herself at the oncoming Envy and blast her with a Dropkick that sends her flying back. Making use of her maneuverability, Zoe manages to take the advantage, staying just a step ahead of Envy and using strikes to keep her at bay, but inevitably having her knee so viciously bent catches up with her as a moment's hesitation from pain shooting up her leg causes Zoe's attempt at nailing Envy with a Shining Enzuigiri to whiff, leaving her open.
Envy immediately pounces on her, driving a knee into the back of Zoe's thigh to further weaken her leg before locking it into the viciously painful Vice again, Zoe crying out in pain and clawing at the canvas to try and drag herself free, but Envy holds on tightly and there's no rope-break awaiting the grimacing with pain Zoe. Fortunately for her, that doesn't seem to be what she was dragging herself toward the cage for as she places her free leg's foot against it and kicks off, twisting herself free from Envy's clutches.
Zoe is clearly hobbled by the damage to her knee as she gets up though, leaning against the cage and shaking her leg to try and get the blood flowing and Envy is already up too, stalking her prey. She closes in low, trying to grab at Zoe's legs to bring her down again, but the agile Asian grabs onto the cage's chain links, swinging her legs up and evading Envy's lunge to cause her to collide with the cage instead. Zoe hops over Envy, backs up some, then rushes in to blast her with a running Front Dropkick that bounces her against the cage again. Zoe tucks Envy's head under her arm and goes to run up the cage and kick off into a Tornado DDT, but as she goes for it her knee gives out and she can't deliver the move.
Envy wastes little time twisting out of Zoe's grip, kicking her in the belly to double her over before grabbing a hold around her waist and yanking her up into powerbomb position to just smash her into the cage with her Dangerous Collision. Zoe crumbles to her knees, but Envy pulls her back up and drives her against the cage again with a Side Russian Legsweep, looking to once and for all prove her superiority as she stands over Zoe while the referee counts. Determined not to stay down though, Zoe drags herself back to her feet using the cage and no sooner has she reassured the referee that she can still go than Envy is upon her again.
This time Zoe fights back with a mix of Forearm Smashes and chops across Envy's chest as the two exchange blows, but even with her leg bothering her Zoe looks to be taking the advantage until suddenly her arm is grabbed and with a smirk on her lips Envy swings her arm around it as she twists and drops down, just wrenching the caught limb with an Arm Dragon Screw, sending Zoe down grabbing at her arm. Envy goes to grab the arm again to lock in her finishing Armbar, the Green With Envy, but Zoe swings both legs up and kicks her away, briefly stunning her and buying herself time to try and figure out some way to regain the advantage. The agile beauty bites down her pain as she climbs up along the corner of the cage back onto the platform that goes all around the cage.
Envy huffs a bit as she scales the cage in pursuit, not looking to let Zoe recover, but as she closes in she's again met with a series of furious blows, perhaps fueled by desperation as Envy doesn't even get the chance to return fire, forced backward with strike after strike. Envy finds herself backed right to the edge of the platform as Zoe twists around on her good leg and bashes her opponent across the face with a Roaring Elbow, Envy staggering to lean over the precipice as it looks like she's going to fall back into the cage, but instead she twists around to smash her elbow backward into Zoe's face, sending her staggering backward in turn. Zoe's tilted back head jerks back down though, her gaze burning with determination as she lets out a roar and charges at Envy, blasting her with a Front Dropkick that sends her just flying backward down into the ring, her body almost bouncing as she hits the canvas with a loud thud.
Standing atop the cage, Zoe takes a moment to shake more feeling into her leg before she turns her back to the cage, taking a deep breath and glancing over her shoulder to gauge the distance before she launches herself into a backward flip, looking to stomp her feet into Envy's gut with a Moonsault Stomp, but before she can make contact Envy rolls out of the way. Zoe hurriedly tries to adjust and lands in a backward roll, but her leg gives out as she tries to stand and seeing her opening Envy rushes in, snatching hold of Zoe's arm and dropping down to drag her along onto the canvas before Envy's legs clamp around the caught limb and she grips the wrist while thrusting her hips up in the Green With Envy, viciously bending the elbow joint in the masterfully applied Armbar. Zoe screams out in pain and thrashes about, but finally the pain is just too much to take and she desperately slaps at Envy's leg, the referee calling for the bell to end the match.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner via submission, and STILL WWR Goddess of the Cage Champion, Envy Ellis!
[::The cage door is open and the time keeper hands the referee the Goddess of the Cage Championship as they hand it off to Envy and raise her arm in victory. The look on her face looks like a gigantic weight has been lifted off her shoulders. Zoe rolls to her knees and looks frustrated with how things ended as she forces herself to her feet. As Envy turns around the two face off. The crowd goes silent, you can hear a pin drop as Zoe grimaces and reaches out her good hand for a handshake.::]
Alexis Rose: Oh this is interesting!
Monica Powers: A show of sportsmanship from the challenger, will the champion accept?!
[::The crowd chants "Shake her hand!" as Envy ponders it for a matter of moments before finally accepting the handshake as the two bury the hatchet once and for all as the crowd goes wild.::]
Alexis Rose: What a fantastic main event! I'm SO happy WWR is back!!!
Monica Powers: You and me both, Alexis. That was a hell of a main event! A great title defense from Envy Ellis!
Alexis Rose: Unfortunately we are out of time, but we will see you all again two weeks for another edition of WWR Battleground. For Monica Powers, I'm Alexis Rose...Goodnight everybody!
