Location: Columbus, GA
WWR DARK RESULTS:
Match #1: Lacey Turner vs. Valerie Rodriguez vs. Noelle Faith
Our first match of the night was a three-way bout between three young ladies looking to get some momentum going in WWR, and the action did not disappoint. All three women gave it their all, but the end came when Lacey Turner hit her Flawless Knee (running knee strike) on Valerie Rodriguez to pick up a huge win.
Match #2: The Pretty Committee vs. The Sullivan Sisters vs. The Dark Arrival
Our second match saw a spirited contest between the three teams, with the experienced Pretty Committee controlling a good bit of the action. At the end of the match, Veronica Taylor tried to spray hairspray into Stephanie Sullivan's face, but Steph ducked and the noxious chemical went into Bianca LeBlanc's eyes instead! Ashley had run around the ring to intercept and yanked Bianca off the apron, and Stephanie rolled her up for a one-two-three, with the Dark Arrival members both trying to make a save but not quite quick enough.
Match #3: Jessica Jackson vs. Lassindra V
In a match that showcased both women’s in-ring strengths, it appeared that Jessica Jackson had the upper hand over Lassindra V for most of the showing, and when she didn’t, her tag team partner Eden Hart was there at ringside to make up for it. At one point, Eden climbs onto the apron in an attempt to skew the match even further in Jackson’s favor, but after her partner ducks a clothesline from the Russian Ussuri, Lass slams full force into Hart, knocking her off the apron. In the closing moments of the match, Jackson hits a stiff superkick to Lassindra, dropping the Russian to one knee and setting her up for her signature CURB STOMP, but the Ussuri moves out of the way at the last second, causing the Princess of Mischief to falter long enough that Lassindra rolls her up for the three count. Eden Hart would slide into the ring then, looking to attack Lass, but the Russian rolls out of the ring immediately, walking backwards up the ramp to keep an eye on her opponents as Jessica and Eden try to goad her back into the ring.
[::The opening graphics for WWR began to play, until they were flickered out by the Voice of Rebellion, as we see a black background with a red anarchy symbol. The voice would speak out through the modulator as they appeared on screen.::]
"It's a wonderful thing to see, where the pitiful, vain Pretty Committee are delegated to the dark matches. And I look around and see other people rising up to take on the cruel and wicked women of the roster. It's a wonderful thing, and proof that anyone can fight the good fight. So, to all those brave women, I commend you! Do not back down, and remember, your anger is a gift!"

[::The lights in the arena dim slightly as the pyro goes off and the crowd rises to its feet as Women's Wrestling Revolution comes to you live from Columbus, Georgia continuing the tour of the companies home state in 2020. The ending of Odyssey is still being talked about amongst fans who are ready for a hell of a show. 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, SUPER CHAMPION
DO IT FOR KK MAYBELLE!
RIGGER WILL REIGN
REGULATE THE TRIAD
And...
WE RISE WITH THE PHOENIX COALITION
[::The official song of Battleground "Rise by Skillet" plays over the PA Speakers as the camera cuts to the broadcast booth of Monica Powers and Alexis Rose...::]
SUPER TIGER, SUPER CHAMPION
DO IT FOR KK MAYBELLE!
RIGGER WILL REIGN
REGULATE THE TRIAD
And...
WE RISE WITH THE PHOENIX COALITION
[::The official song of Battleground "Rise by Skillet" plays over the PA Speakers as the camera cuts to the broadcast booth of Monica Powers and Alexis Rose...::]
Alexis Rose: Tonight! Will we crown a brand new World Champion or will the opponents Bow Down to the Suplex Queen? Welcome to Women's Wrestling Revolution Battleground! Coming to you live here at the Municipal Auditorium in Columbus, Georgia for maybe the last time for a while. I'm Alexis Rose and I'm joined as always by my broadcast partner, Monica Powers! Monica, are you ready for the show tonight?
Monica Powers: Oh you know it, Alexis! We have a stacked card tonight, three championships on the line! It's going to be an incredible show!
Alexis Rose: You took the words right out of my mouth, and there will be matches tonight that pit the newly formed Phoenix Coalition squaring off against the Queen's Court! It will be interesting to see where these two groups stand by the end of the evening. The Coalition has the chance to leave tonight with a lot of championship gold!
[::The cameras pan around the Municipal Auditorium as the crowd is amped up and ready to go for Bow Down tonight. The lights go down and the Tron lights up showing us the vicious attack that Morrigan gave to former Battleground Champion Krystal Kirk. As the footage wraps up the lights come back on and "Fabulous by CFO$" hits the PA Speakers crowd goes insane as Krystal Kirk takes the stage, flanked by security. The crowd noise quickly dies down, however, as it is revealed the KK is in her street clothes and is wearing a neck brace. At her side is El Sin Rostro, holding her newfound friends hand as they make their way to the ring. ESR holds the ropes open for KK, who thanks her with that trademark smile before climbing inside and walking to the corner, asking for a microphone.::]
Monica Powers: Hey it’s KK! Maybe we’re gonna get an update on her condition!
Alexis Rose: I hope you’re right Monica! We’ve really missed KK’s energy around here.
[::The crowd is chanting for the platinum blonde former Battleground champion who suffered a vicious attack after losing her title to the Morrigan at WWR Odyssey. Chants of “KK! KK! KK!” echo through the arena before the woman smiles and raises her hands, asking for silence.::]
Krystal Kirk: WHAT’S UP WWR UNIVERSE?!
[::The crowd roars in approval, the chants picking back up again as El Sin Rostro eggs them on. KK smiles looking around as the fans show her their love before she asks for silence again.::]
Krystal Kirk: So y’all know dat at Odyssey, tings didn’ exactly go ol’ KK’s way, yuh?
[::The crowd boos, but quickly stops as KK begins to speak again.::]
Krystal Kirk: Dat backstabbin’ snake in da grass Morrigan had ta attack da champ in da back before da match! But KK was a fightin’ champion, ya dig?! I wasn’ gon’ back down from no challenger, especially not some black magic bimbo walkin’ roun’ here like she owned da’ Battleground Title!
[::The arena goes quiet as Krystal gets a sad look on her face, but El Sin Rostro leans in and whispers something into her ear, patting her friend on the back. KK nods, bringing the mic back up to continue.::]
Krystal Kirk: So da docs ran some tests on ol’ KK an’ her brain bucket, an dey came back fine! But as you can see…
[::Krystal points to the brace on her neck.::]
Krystal Kirk: Not every ting was okay. Doc says I gotta herniated disc in my neck. A bad one. Bad enough dat I dunno when…
[::Tears start to stream down Krystal’s face before she begins to speak again.::]
Krystal Kirk: …or if I’ll eva be able ta step inta a wrestlin’ ring again.
[::The crowd voices it’s displeasure, booing loudly not at the woman in the ring, but at the idea that KK might not be a part of the bi-weekly lineup for WWR anymore.::]
Krystal Kirk: But I ain’ givin’ up! I’m gonna take dis time! I’m gonna get mah neck right. I’mma get back in dat gym. I’m gonna get healthy! And den?
[::Krystal looks into the camera, ferocity in her eyes.::]
Krystal Kirk: I’m comin’ for ya Morrigan! I don’ care if ya got dat title, da Revolutionary Title, or da World title, or if ya scrubbing da crap off Miss Abby’s boots! I’mma come back, an’ give ya what’s yours! Thank you for da time WWR Universe! Let’s get back to da action, ya dig?!
[::The crowd erupts into cheers, followed by a “Thank you KK” chant echoing throughout the arena. El Sin Rostro holds the ropes open for KK as she exits, walking back up the ramp to her entrance music, tears in her eyes but a look of determination on her face as she stops at the top of the ramp and turns, waving to her fans and everyone in attendance as Battleground takes their first commercial break of the evening…::]
[::Battleground returns from commercial break and we see newly signed Kelly Penkzee-Nelson standing in the background of the WWR banner. With a smirk on her face, she looks directly into the camera.::]
Kelly Penkzee-Nelson: Here we are once again, another year, another new promotion and another chance for me to add more accomplishments to my career.
[::She looks at the camera, fixing the tan-like robe she’s wearing.::]
Kelly Penkzee-Nelson: For those of you that may or may not know who I am. My name is Kelly Penkzee-Nelson, or as people would call me, “KPN” for short. I’m a well traveled wrestler, a multi time champion and a certified outspoken bitch when need be.
[::She winks at the camera before speaking again.::]
Kelly Penkzee-Nelson: Tonight, I make my debut in a six pack challenge match up for a number one contendership for the Battleground Championship against five other wrestlers.
[::She smirks, knowing when it comes to titles, KPN is game.::]
Kelly Penkzee-Nelson: I’m always critical about getting chances early because I would rather earn before being put in a spot right away. I’m a fair game women and there’s other competitors that probably deserved the shot more than I did.
[::She licks her lips and bites them.::]
Kelly Penkzee-Nelson: You know what….that doesn’t matter. I’m glad I got a chance to go for the Battleground Championship. What better way to start off my WWR career on a high note and win this match.
[::She keeps her eye still on the camera.::]
Kelly Penkzee-Nelson: Ladies, tonight’s the night that you’re going to see greatness in the ring. I hope your ready to be impressed.
[::KPN walks away as Battleground shifts backstage and El Sin Rostro can be seen walking towards the ring immediately prior to the Battleground Championship contender match. She stops in front of the camera, speaking first in English…::]
El Sin Rostro: Tonight is about more than the Battleground Championship. Tonight is about getting a ticket to avenge a wrong that happened two weeks prior. You see, Morrigan, you expected others to cower away at your presence. But I do not cower. If you expect fear, you are looking in the wrong place. I do not fear you.
[::...Then, with subtitles provided by Google, she speaks in Spanish.::]
El Sin Rostro: <<You injured KK, you have earned every bit of pain and agony I intend to inflict upon you. I seek not a match, nor your Championship for my mantle. Those will be but fringe benefits. I seek a fight… a war. And though you do not believe now, I will make you a believer. You will learn that you cannot win a war with a Faceless foe!>>
[::After she speaks, she pushes the camera away, storming towards the ring for the match. The scene goes to a quick video promo for Belles of Parade before taking us to ringside for the opening contest.::]
Arianna Grey: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the opening contest of the evening and it is a Six Pack Challenge match. The winner of this match will become the number one contender for the WWR Battleground Championship!
[::.The six women had already entered the ring during the commercial break and tensions are clearly high. Three new comers and three WWR main stays are about to collide to determine who will be the next to challenge for the WWR Battleground Championship in two weeks time. It's anybodies match to win tonight.::]
Monica Powers: Each woman in this match wants to be a champion Alexis, but only one can get a shot at the title! Who do you got?
Alexis Rose: Oh geez! I have no idea Monica! The talent pool in WWR is incredibly deep. I wouldn't be surprised by any of these women walking out of here with the win and future title shot tonight!
DING! DING! DING!
All six women are in the ring as the bell sounds, and slowly look over each other, trying to figure out how to best attack this match. Brittany makes the first move, going straight for Kelly Penzkee-Nelson, backing her into a corner and throwing wild haymakers until KPN reverses and chops her hard in the chest, the blow ringing through the arena. Anya Makarov is confronted by Rebecca Hendrix, and the two lock up, while Ash Walweat and El Sin Rostro are doing the same. Hendrix gets an advantage and tries to bodyslam Anya, but the Russian slips out the back door and rolls Rebecca up from behind, but an alert ESR breaks off her engagement with Ash to break up the pin attempt. On the opposite side of the ring, Kelly kicks Brittany in the belly and hooks her up, taking her over with a vertical suplex with a bridge, but it's broken up by Everyone's Favorite Alien.
The action is a blur, with all six women getting an opponent into a pinning predicament on multiple occasions, yet finding another opponent breaking it up. ESR has Walweat down, but Makarov interrupts, followed by Hendrix trying to roll her up, but KPN intercedes. Brittany grabs El Sin Rostro and plants her with a bulldog, rolling her over for a pin, but Rebecca busts it apart. Ash has KPN rolled up in the center of the ring and gets a two-count, but ESR makes the save. Anya tries to schoolgirl Brittany, but she kicks out just as Walweat comes in to protest. Things begin to break down as Rebecca finds herself on the outside thanks to Kelly, and Ash and Anya are trying their best to get the other into a pinning predicament. With the other four competitors distratced, El Sin Rostro plants Brittany with a Tornado DDT, then quickly hops to the top and hits Eyes Without A Face (front flip legdrop) and gets the pin just before Ash crashes into them, trying to make the save.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, El Sin Rostro!
[::Ash groaned in frustration being seconds late from breaking the pinfall up but what's done is done. El Sin Rostro stands up and you could tell just to look at her that she was fired up getting what she wanted.::]
Alexis Rose: Big win for El Sin Rostro!
Monica Powers: You gotta believe she's actually probably cheering on Morrigan tonight, you know she wants her for that title. It's personal...
Alexis Rose: Very, but who knows. She could very well be facing Auntie Maybelle in two weeks time!
Monica Powers: Only time will tell! Before that though, we gotta take a quick commercial break. We'll be right back with more WWR Battleground!
[::Battleground returns from commercial break and Envy Ellis can be seen sitting on the locker-room benches taping her fists prior to her Goddess of the Cage Qualifier match against Maria Salvatore. She still has a sour expression on her face, accentuated when she looks down to her ribs to see the tape on it. She rips the tape, pulling it off and setting it aside as Katrina Showtime approaches.::]
Katrina Showtime: Envy… can I get a word with you?
[::Envy rolls her eyes, setting her head back against the wall.::]
Envy Ellis: What?
Katrina Showtime: Tonight, you’re taking on Maria Salvatore in a Goddess of the Cage qualifier where the winner will be going on to face Aura Everton at Belles on Parade to crown the inaugural Champion…
[::Envy grins.::]
Envy Ellis: Yes, and once again I will have a chance to become the first-ever two-time-first-ever Champion in WWR history! Just think about it… my name irrevocably carved into the history of this company so, twenty years down the road when people think of WWR, I am what they think of! It’s a chance to make a real statement and, really, who better to be in such a position than me.
Katrina Showtime: Well, there are people questioning why you even deserve this opportunity after you were beaten two weeks ago…
[::Envy pauses… breathing in deeply.::]
Envy Ellis: Just had to go there, didn’t you?
Katrina Showtime: I’m sorry, Envy, but…
Envy Ellis: No, you’re not sorry. I know there were people absolutely giddy to see me go through a table two weeks ago, and don’t even care about the facts behind it. But from my understanding, to win a table match, you have to put your opponent through a table. Tell me, Katrina… did Zoe Jane put me through a table?
Katrina Showtime: Well, not exactly, but…
[::Envy cuts her off.::]
Envy Ellis: A simple “yes” or “no” will suffice.
Katrina Showtime: Then it’s a no, but…
Envy Ellis: No!
[::Again, Envy immediately interjects.::]
Envy Ellis: No, there are no “buts” here. She benefited from a referee that called the bell after seeing me go through a table, but was unable to verify that it was her that actually put me there. That’s why I get this shot this week. Did anyone think about THAT? That maybe the referee’s call was questionable enough that simply shoving me to the side would have been a gross mistake?
[::She shakes her head.::]
Envy Ellis: No… I’m here because I deserve the opportunity to become Champion again. Now I have Maria Salvatore tonight, and maybe she’ll put up a fight. Maybe she thinks there’s no way she can lose. That mentality though…
Katrina Showtime: Is it familiar?
Envy Ellis: Zoe told me I CAN’T beat her. Maria said earlier this week that I CAN’T win. All these people want to tell me what I CAN and CAN’T do… If Maria is lucky tonight, I’ll look across the ring and see her, make her tap and move onto Belles On Parade. If she’s not?
[::A sneer forms on the young woman’s face as she faces Katrina directly.::]
Envy Ellis: I’ll look at her and see Zoe. And if I do that, Maria doesn’t have a prayer in the world of beating me.
[::And on that note, Katrina carefully steps back, eager to get out of the locker-room and avoid perturbing Envy farther. Knowing her match is up next anyway she wants to let her finish getting ready as Battleground returns to ringside for said match coming up next.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a Goddess of the Cage Tournament match, this match can be won by knock out, submission, or referee's stoppage if they feel one of the women cannot continue. Introducing first...
[::"Blow by Ed Sheeran, Chris Stapleton, and Bruno Mars" blares over the PA Speakers as Envy Ellis makes her way onto the stage and grins to herself as she walks off to the side and approaches the octagon cage, ready to be only the third woman to step inside this cage thus far in WWR.::]
Arianna Grey: From Washington, DC. She is...Envy Ellis!
Alexis Rose: Envy Ellis, famous for her devastating arm bar finisher is a perfect fit for the Goddess of the Cage tournament, mad props to Abigail for making this decision, it was a good one!
Monica Powers: I also think this is a fantastic opportunity for Envy to get her mind off of her rival Zoe Jane, for at least a little while hopefully. Looking forward to seeing how she does here tonight against Maria!
[::Envy gets into the cage and circles around inside of it a bit before looking over to the entrance ramp for the arrival of her opponent.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"Over by Drake" hits the PA Speakers as Maria Salvatore walks out onto the stage already running her mouth pointing her finger over at Envy as she makes her way over to the cage.::]
Arianna Grey: From Florence, Italy. She is the Mafia Princess...Maria Salvatore!
Monica Powers: Well look at the mouth on her!
Alexis Rose: These two have been snipping at each other on social media all week, but the time for talking is over. It's time to step into the cage and settle things. The winner of this match will face Aura Everton at Belles on Parade for the Goddess of the Cage Championship!
[::Maria gets into the cage and continues running her mouth as the referee tries to hold the two women apart. Quickly reminding both of them of the rules and neither wish to touch gloves. They direct both women to their corners of the cage before ringing the bell and getting this fight underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
The second the bell rings Maria rushes at Envy. Unfortunately for the Mafia Princess it looks like Ellis was more than prepared for this tactic as she grabs the woman and flips her down to the mat with a vicious looking Judo toss. The second Salvatore hits the canvas Envy already has her arm and she cranks on it almost violently. Maria screams out in agony and immediately taps out as the referee rings the bell and calls the fight quickly.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, Envy Ellis!
[::Envy holds that arm bar on for a few moments longer than the referee probably would have liked but she eventually lets go as Maria rolls around on the canvas of the cage in pain as Envy holds her hands high up in the air triumphantly.::]
Monica Powers: HO-LY SHIT!
Alexis Rose: What a freaking finish!! Do you think Aura was watching!?
Monica Powers: I would certainly believe so. You want to scout your opponent ahead of time and Envy just made a hell of a statement!
Alexis Rose: We've gotta take a quick commercial break, but we'll be right back with more WWR Battleground right after this!
[::Jane and Sadie were both backstage discussing the match they were in tonight, as they were in matching gear, anticipating their second tag match in WWR.::]
Jane Adler: You think we've bit off a little too much, Sadie?
Sadie Cassidy: Nah, we can handle these cowards.
[::As the two speak to one another, Katrina Showtime approaches them both with microphone in hand.::]
Katrina Showtime: Hey girls, I was wondering if I could get a quick word from you two about your tag match coming up next?
[::Sadie looked back and smiled warmly, whilst Jane closed the distance and stands behind her partner.::]
Sadie Cassidy: Of course, shug. What's on your mind?
Katrina Showtime: I wanted to start off by thanking you both for looking out for me two weeks ago. But now you all find yourself in a handicap match against the Satsujin Triad. How are you all prepared to handle this?
Jane Adler: Ain't no thang, Katrina. Sadie and I never liked bullies, and watching them go off on you like that wasn't right.
Sadie Cassidy: In fact, they're lucky we didn't start anything then and there.
[::Sadie said confidently, before Jane reiterated the handicap match they fought in.::]
Jane Adler: This handicap match is going to be a real challenge, but, on the other hand, it's actually a blessing in disguise.
Sadie Cassidy: Exactly! We both know that snake Malaya will get involved one way or another. We figure it's better for her to be in the match as well, that way we can keep an eye on her while dealing with her goon squad.
[::Katrina nods in agreement although its clear by the look on her face she's a bit worried about them.::]
Katrina Showtime: You two just be careful out there tonight...okay? Do your absolute best to have one anothers backs?
Jane Adler: Always. We've got ourselves covered, Katrina. Just let them know if they wanna raise hell, then tell them we're coming, and hell's coming with us!
[::Jane said, as she and Sadie walk off for their match. The camera fades out and comes back in to focus on Cappadonna, Nari Chang, and in the middle, Malaya Diyosa, the Satsujin Triad wear irritated looks on their faces, as Malaya speaks first.::]
Malaya Diyosa: I should be the current Revolutionary Champion right now, but, fortune was not in my favor. Nor is it now, since I have to waste my time with you two rejects.
[::Malaya said with a sneer and obvious disdain for the Regulators.::]
Malaya Diyosa: Even though Josie Wales may have trained us both, I can guarantee you both are nothing compared to us. You're essentially the diet version of her, while we have resolve in our conflict. We are the role models of the Asian community, while you two are more than likely some racist yeehawing backwoods rejects Josie took sympathy on.
[::Malaya said coldly, not even giving Jane nor Sadie the time of day or posing them as a threat.::]
Malaya Diyosa: Adler, Cassidy. The two of you are also going to have an unfortunate fate. Because not only am I furious after Bobbi scraped by with my title, you two made the grave mistake of interfering with my girls' business. The three of us, are going to end the two of you. And there is no doubt about it.
[::The cameras fade out and return to ringside for the next match up.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a handicap tag team match scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit, introducing first...
[::"Honky Tonk Stomp by Brooks & Dunn" blares over the PA Speakers as the team collectively known as Regulators Inc out onto the stage and pose for the cameras and the fans in attendance. The crowd gives them a warm reaction as they make their way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in St. Louis, Missouri. They are the team of Sadie Cassidy and Jane Adler, Regulators Inc!
Alexis Rose: One of the newer tag teams to come into WWR as of late here Monica and these two might have bitten off a bit more than they could chew two weeks ago on Battleground!
Monica Powers: Sadie and Jane came to the defense of our lead interviewer Katrina Showtime before things could get potentially physical between her and Cappadonna which led to the tag challenge being laid out this week, not knowing then that it would turn into the handicap variety with the entire Triad.
[::Adler and Cassidy get into the ring and try their best to rile up the crowd to get them hyped for the upcoming tag match as the ring announcer brings out their opponents.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponents...
[::"Hong Kong Krunch" hits the PA Speakers as the Satsujin Triad walk out onto the stage together to massive boos from the live crowd. The three women smirk a bit and speak to one another before making their way to the ring with a purpose in their step.::]
Arianna Grey: The team of Malaya Diyosa, Cappadonna, and Nari Chang...The Satsujin Triad!
Monica Powers: While the Triad have competed several times in WWR already, I think this is the first time that all three women have competed together for the company at the same time.
Alexis Rose: I'm pretty sure you're right Monica, and while these women are incredibly dangerous individually...together? It could spell serious trouble for a good portion of the WWR roster!
[::The Triad enter the ring and grin across the ring at their opponents, the referee instructs each team to pick a woman to start the match before ringing the bell to start the match...::]
DING! DING! DING!
The bell rings and Nari Chang is starting this one off for the Satsujin Triad, while Sadie Cassidy starts off for the Regulators. Both teams’ muscle, so to speak, step into the ring, quickly locking up in a test of strength. Chang flexes her arms, the North Korean having a considerable size advantage over Cassidy, but Cassidy is holding her own until Chang boots her in the gut, doubling over the Whiskey Fueled Warrior. Chang launches Cassidy into her teams’ corner, tagging in the leader of the Triad Malaya Diyosa.
Diosa and Chang putting the boots to Cassidy, only stopping when the referee reaches a four count and Chang steps out through the ropes. Cassidy is seated in the Triads corner now, breathing hard as Malaya struts out of the corner, berating Jane Adler and the audience before she turns around, running toward the corner. Cassidy comes up out of nowhere throwing an extremely hard lariat, causing Malaya to drop to the ground hard. Cassidy gets to her feet, tagging in Jane Adler to a pop from the crowd before Malaya tags out as well, bringing in Cappadonna.
Adler sprints out of the corner, catching Cappadonna unaware with a big boot, dropping the Asian to the floor. She’s quick to turn around, reaching down and lifting the Empress of 36 Chambers up before dropping her back down with an INVERTED ATOMIC DROP, followed up by a SCOOP SLAM! Jane goes for a pin, but it’s immediately broken up by Nari Chang who stomps down on the back of Adler’s head, hard, and kicks the other woman off Cappadonna, dragging her teammate to the corner so Malaya Diosa can tag back in. Adler is crawling to her corner… she jumps for the hot tag! Sadie Cassidy comes in quick, ducking a lame attempt at a close line before hitting the ropes with the intent of a flying forearm, but something catches her ankles and causes her to fall down, hard, face first on the mat as the camera pans over and Nari Chang can be seen stalking her way around the ring. Cappadonna is back up in The Triads corner as the #BAEsian goes to work on Cassidy, stomping away at her opponent’s ankle with animalistic glee. Cassidy gets under the bottom rope to force separation, causing the ref to come over and split them up.
The referee is distracted on the opposite side of the ring, and Nari Chang had been lying in wait for this moment. She hits Jane Adler with a low blow from the floor, before stepping in and setting her up in a powerbomb.
Alexis Rose: Oh no! Look out!
Monica Powers: Get outta the way!
Staff scrambles in all directions as Chang turns and powerbombs Adler through the secondary announce table! The table practically explodes from the force with a loud crack as Chang steps back to admire her handiwork with a smirk. The referee, hearing the commotion, turns to come and see what happened. Malaya takes this time to strike like a viper, pulling a pair of brass knuckles from her trunks. She turns Sadie Cassidy around with a tap on the shoulder before blasting her in the jaw with the knucks! The #BAEsian tosses the weapon out of the ring, which Nari Chang is quick to scoop up immediately before Malaya tags in Cappadonna. The team immediately hits an ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP/FATAL FLYING GUILLOTINE combo finisher! Cappadonna hooks Cassidy's leg and scores the pinfall victory.
Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, the Satsujin Triad!
[::The Triad stand together raising each others hands as the crowd boos them loudly but clearly it doesn't matter to them as they go the win tonight.::]
Alexis Rose: Well you can't argue with results...
Monica Powers: We need to get some people out here to repair the commentary tables during the commercial break!
Alexis Rose: Luckily we have a talented crew to make that happen.
Monica Powers: Absolutely, it will be interesting to see who the Triad targets next?
Alexis Rose: That is probably a question that will be answered in time, but for now it's time to take a commercial break, we'll be right back everybody!
[::As Battleground returns from commercial break we see a wrestling video game. A red-haired woman, likely to be Vanessa Jones, can be seen sporadically fighting back, hitting the unnamed opponent with a variety of video game-worthy moves as the voice of the real Vanessa Jones can be heard narrating.::]
Vanessa Jones: And Vanessa lifts her opponent up… BAM! What a powerslam! She goes for a pin… Christ, how do I pin again?
[::There’s a stall on the screen, and the computer Vanessa reaches down to pull the opponent up instead.::]
Vanessa Jones: Dammit! Well, let’s try this…
[::The sounds of some buttons mashing can be heard as video game Vanessa rears back, hitting a superkick on the opponent.::]
Vanessa Jones: Oh!!
[::The video game moves forward, actually pressing across the chest of her opponent with the pin. The on-screen commentary counts for her…::]
“One! Two! Three! Pinfall!”
Vanessa Jones: Yes!
[::The screen turns over to the video game’s Vanessa celebrating in the ring.::]
Vanessa Jones: What a great feeling for tonight… Vanessa Jones, the cool Jones girl in wrestling, defeats her opponent and earns a shot at the World Championship! Yes! She has got a real career in front of her, and we’re lucky to see it unfolding!
[::The camera pans around to where she sits, holding the video game controller in her hand, providing her own commentary. As the camera spots her, she spots it in return, pausing before she laughs.::]
Vanessa Jones: Oh… hi! I was just getting some last minute prep in for tonight. It’s a big night and a big opportunity… I could get a World Title match at Belles on Parade. So I wanted to make sure I took some of the nerves off… hence the video games. And also it kind of pumped me up, you know? But I plan on being ready for tonight. I’ve got my ring gear on, as you can see, and just need to do my final stretches. Then it’s all out in the ring.
[::She laughs nervously.::]
Vanessa Jones: Crap… the nerves are coming back. Hey… do you want to be player two?
[::She reaches out a controller to the cameraman, who sets the camera down and moves over to the sofa, where only the laps and legs of him and Vanessa can be seen.::]
Vanessa Jones: You’re going down!
[::As the game starts again, the scene fades away and comes back in somewhere else backstage as the cameraman zooms in on the closed door of the Ice Queen’s locker room. Suddenly, there’s a bang against the other side of the door and the sound of… sensual moaning? The audience is certainly intrigued! Of course, the children’s ears are covered by their parents and guardians. The commentary team is taken aback by this.::]
Alexis Rose: Ummm… this might be a bad time… Cameraman, could you please--
Monica Powers: Color me intrigued! It sounds like Ms. Pryce is having a good time!
Alexis Rose: Monica! We have a younger audience!
Monica Powers: How?! You’ve seen the kinds of things that happen in Women’s Wrestling Revolution! Our programs are TV-14!
[::While Alexis and Monica argue about the TV Parental Guidelines in the US, the door swings open with a feminine hand clutching the doorknob. Chelsea Pryce has swiftly opened the door, allowing her fiancé Johnny Maverick to spill out onto the floor in the hallway. He gives his head a quick shake before he gets to his feet.::]
Johnny Maverick: Damn, Chels! That’s one way to stop a make-out session!
Chelsea Pryce: As much as I would love another round, I need to make sure I’m physically fit to wrestle…
[::Upon closer inspection, both Chelsea and Johnny are half-dressed! Chelsea’s black lingerie is quite tantalizing for the fans who love her. Johnny’s topless form is also glorious, though he is quick to put his ‘NGUNSNR’ t-shirt back on. He looks his fiancée up and down before he sighs.::]
Johnny Maverick: God, you’re such a fucking tease.
Chelsea Pryce: I know.
Lassindra V: You know, for a veteran of this business, I would think you would at least come into the hallway, I don’t know, fully dressed?
[::The Russian’s accent is a dead giveaway as she crosses her arms over her chest with a grin. She looks at Johnny, then to Chelsea.::]
Lassindra V: Don’t you have a big match to get ready for? I mean, it’s only a number one contender’s match for the WWR World Championship.
[::Letting go of the doorknob, Chelsea runs her left hand through her messy blonde hair and smirks.::]
Chelsea Pryce: I do. I was performing my warm-ups.
[::Oh, that playful wink… Johnny stares at Chelsea for a moment and grins.::]
Johnny Maverick: I was trying to help my beautiful fiancée get ready, but she tempted me with her legs for days!
[::Lassindra chuckles, shaking her head.::]
Lassindra V: If I had someone to ‘warm-up’ with like that? Let’s just say I don’t blame you one bit.
[::Lassindra looks to Chelsea with a grin.::]
Lassindra V: You know, Ice Queen…we’ve met in the ring a couple of times now, have we not? You seem to be one of the only women here outside of the Phoenix Coalition that doesn’t have some problem with me or another.
[::The Russian doesn’t even attempt to hide the fact that she gives Chelsea a once over, smirking and looking at Johnny.::]
Lassindra V: Lucky bastard.
Johnny Maverick: I know, right?!
[::A chuckle escapes Pryce before she turns to look at Lassindra. She seems to have no problem standing there in sexy lingerie in front of them and the viewers.::]
Chelsea Pryce: You’ve given me no reason to have a problem with you, Lassindra. I respect you. I respect Bobbi and the Phoenix Coalition. I respect what you’re all trying to do.
[::With a casual wave of her left hand, a cold smirk crosses her face.::]
Chelsea Pryce: Dethroning the False Queen and her Court. There’s only one true Queen in WWR… and that’s me, bitches. I’ve been the Ice Queen for ten years. Get on my level.
[::She winks in the camera’s direction before she regards Lassindra and Johnny.::]
Chelsea Pryce: Usually, I’m not a team player… But I am willing to form a temporary alliance until we’ve saved the company from them.
[::Lassindra chuckles, nodding her head.::]
Lassindra V: So what? You’re willing to work with the Phoenix Coalition until we’ve achieved our goal of crushing the Queen’s Court? Not my call, but…
[::Lassindra looks over Chelsea again with another grin.::]
Lassindra V: I definitely wouldn’t turn down working with you, if this is how you warm up before every show.
[::Lassindra chuckles, winking at the camera herself. She turns back to Chelsea and Johnny, scratching her chin.::]
Lassindra V: As far as respect goes? You’re what? An eleven-year veteran in this business? Something like that? I respect what you’ve done. Where you’ve been in this business. The fact you respect me? I’m honored, your Majesty.
[::Lassindra gives a small bow and chuckles. Johnny decides to bow with a smile, himself. Just because. It makes Chelsea smile before the young woman continues.::]
Lassindra V: The Queen’s Court seems to think that just because Bobbi has chosen mostly rookies to back her up that they have some kind of advantage. But, as far as I’m concerned? The Phoenix chose the people she did for a reason. She trusts us. She knows we have the same goals and interests.
[::Lassindra takes a step forward, face to face with Chelsea.::]
Lassindra V: Tell me, Ice Queen. Can you be trusted?
[::Raising an eyebrow, Chelsea looks at Johnny, who looks back at her with a knowing smile on his face. She looks back to Lassindra and crosses her left ankle over her right, her left foot slightly raised so the tips of her toes grace the floor.::]
Chelsea Pryce: Trust is the most fragile thing… But when someone places their trust in me, I protect it at all costs.
[::The Wrestling Revolutionary looks over at Lassindra and nods.::]
Johnny Maverick: It’s true. I trusted her with my heart and she’s taken really good care of it.
[::Lassindra simply nods, taking a step back from Chelsea. She takes the two of them in before nodding and extending her hand.::]
Lassindra V: Well. Until you give me a reason not to trust you Chelsea, the Ussuri will be there, should you need assistance.
[::There’s not a moment of hesitation as the Stiletto Knife takes hold of Bobbi’s Protégé’s hand to complete the firm handshake. The fans seem to be pleased by this new alliance as WWR Battleground takes another commercial break.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a fatal four way match and is scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit with the winner heading on to Belles of Parade to challenge for the WWR World Championship, introducing first...
[::"Video Killed the Radio Star (Queen/Freddie Mercury Style Cover)" by Postmodern Jukebox ft. Cunio" blares over the PA Speakers as Azurine Vebbins rushes the stage. Striking a happy pose for the crowd before making her way to the ring, slapping the hands of the fans along the way.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Los Angeles, California. She is Da Adorkable Angel...Azurine Vebbins!
Alexis Rose: Here comes someone who could absolutely be a World Champion here in WWR!
Monica Powers: I completely agree, although she's been on a campaign for a one on one match with another one of her opponents tonight Vanessa Jones. I think she needs to focus on the task at hand and try to secure this win, challenging for the World title should be her goal going into this match tonight.
[::Azurine gets to the ring and waves out at the crowd with a happy smile on her face before turning her attention to the ramp for the arrival of her opponents.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"Up We Go by Lights" hits the PA Speakers as Vanessa Jones walks out onto the entrance way to a great reaction as she makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. She is The Geek Princess...Vanessa Jones!
Monica Powers: The Geek Princess hasn't had the best of luck inside a WWR ring over the last few months but she impresses each and every time she's in the ring.
Alexis Rose: But at the same token? All of her losses have come in multi women matches or unfair cheating by her opponents in one on one situations. I think when she finally can face more women like Ash Walweat in straight up competition we will see Jones truly shine here in WWR, and it COULD happen tonight!
[::Vanessa gets into the ring and her and Vebbins share a fist bump with one another. It's clear the respect between these two women is very much a thing as the next member of the match begins to make their way to the ring...::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::"Human by Hell Yeah" hits the PA Speakers as Chelsea Pryce hits the entrance way and poses for the crowd. Who give her a great reaction as she makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From Detroit, Michigan. She is the Ice Queen...Chelsea Pryce!
Monica Powers: A true veteran in this sport, its been said that Pryce is looking for at least one more World title run before calling it a career. Will that World Championship happen here in WWR?
Alexis Rose: It very well could! Chelsea's ability in that ring is undeniable and she has been rather outspoken as of late on the antics of the Queen's Court. If Susan retains tonight it might be the battle of the Queen's for the World Championship at Belles on Parade!
[::The Ice Queen gets into the ring and gives both Azurine and Vanessa a respectful nod but not much else. It's clear the blonde is all business tonight when it comes to the matter at hand.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::"Fee Ra Huri by Omnia" hits the PA Speakers as the woman known as the Wild Fox walks out onto the entrance way to a nice pop as the former Battleground Champion makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in St. Paul, Minnesota. She is the Wild Fox...Ceithre Brennan!
Monica Powers: And last but certainly not least, we have the only woman in this match to hold WWR gold so far, the Wild Fox herself!
Alexis Rose: Brennan is a hell of a competitor and it's going to be really hard for anyone to deny that she belongs in the main event scene of any wrestling company she's a part of. Will she get to main event Belles on Parade? Only time will tell!
[::Ceithre gets into the ring as the referee gets all four women into their respective corners before ringing the bell to start this fatal four way.::]
DING! DING! DING!
The bell sounds as all four competitors slowly circle each other until Ceithre locks up with Azzy in a collar and elbow, both pushing each other back and forth jostling for an advantage. Vanessa does the same with Chelsea, but the veteran quickly snatches her in a headlock. Jones shoves Pryce off into the ropes, but Chelsea ducks a clothesline and stops, catching Vanessa with a quick neckbreaker. She makes a cover but Jones is out at one. Meanwhile, Brennan has Vebbins in a deep headlock, but Azzy pushes her off and as Ceithre turns around, Azzy smacks her with a forearm. Brennan checks her jaw, then returns fire, catching Azurine flush on the jaw. The standoff was now on, as the two went back and forth until they'd worn each other out. Pryce took notice of this and got behind Vebbins, snapping her over with a German suplex, but a bridge was for naught as Brennan stomped down on her to break up the pin.
The action was fierce as each woman showed why they were in this match, giving no quarter and taking none. The shots were stiff, and each of the four women battered and bruised each other, all in the name of a chance to be called World Champion. As fatigue began to set in on all four competitors, Jones found Pryce close to the ropes, and in an attempt to try and clear an opponent, she charged with a clothesline attempt. Unfortunately, Chelsea low-bridged the top rope and sent Vanessa flying to the outside. On the other side of the ring, Ceithre spiked Azzy with a belly-to-belly suplex and tried for a pinfall, getting a two before Da Adorkable Angel got a foot on the rope. Brennan slapped the mat in frustration as Vebbins rolled under the bottom rope to avoid more damage.
Pryce stalked to the middle of the ring, awaiting Brennan, who stood and turned, looking for a competitor to which to try again, but The Stiletto Knife quickly floored her with a lariat takedown, quickly flipping it into the Natural Disaster (cross-legged STF). Brennan tried to struggle free, but just as Vanessa re-entered the fray Ceithre could take no more, and she tapped out just before Jones crashed down into The Ice Queen. An exhausted Pryce rolled over and held her fists to the sky in tired celebration.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, the Ice Queen...Chelsea Pryce!
[::The referee assists and holding one of Pryce's arms up as she celebrates her hard earned victory. The Ice Queen is the new number one contender for the WWR World Championship.::]
Alexis Rose: That was a great match! Congrats to Pryce!
Monica Powers: She will face the winner of the triple threat main event match tonight at Belles on Parade!
Alexis Rose: No matter the opponent, it should be a hell of a match!
Monica Powers: Oh for sure! i'm excited!!!
Alexis Rose: So am I Monica! By the end of the night we will know our main event for Belles on Parade! We'll be right back with more Battleground!
[::WWR Battleground comes back from a commercial break and as it does we are treated to the sight of Diamond Steele walking through the backstage area. She flicks her hair as she is clad in a retro "I Wanna Be Bad Bobbilicious" t shirt. Diamond smiles as she finally reaches a locker room that reads Bobbi Jackson and she doesn't waste any time as she slowly begins to knock on the door. After a few moments the locker room door opens and you can hear the other members of the Phoenix Coalition speaking in the background as she peeks her head out the door.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Uh hey..? What's up?
[::Bobbi says a bit confused at Steele's presence and choice of t-shirt. Diamond smiles as she glances back at Bobbi just grinning as she replies back to her.::]
Diamond Steele: Hey I just wanted to stop by and wish you some luck for tonight and I also wanted to apologize for my actions for the past few months.
[::Diamond takes a long deep breath as she looks away before slowly bringing her eyes back to Bobbi.::]
Diamond Steele: I just was going through a lot with my husband. I didn't want to hurt any of my fans or my best male friend in Griffin. It's just I wanted to also support my husband, and keep our family together, but I came to the realization that I don't have to be tied to him professionally. I can live my own wrestling life and he can live his. What happens outside of these walls at home is all that matters.
[::Diamond glances at Bobbi.::]
Diamond Steele: and I am sorry for what I might have said to you and of course the way I treated the fans.
Bobbi Jackson: Yea well...I appreciate that...
[::Bobbi says kind of surprised by all of this but doesn't know how to react.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Look, it's cool. Water under the bridge. Don't worry about it, okay?
[::Diamond nods her head sighing.::]
Diamond Steele: Look I respect your abilities. I respect everything you do and tonight you are going to go out there and win. I guess I have my own reasons for being here tonight as well.
[::Diamond paces around before she glares deeply into Bobbi's eyes and continues to speak.::]
Diamond Steele: I guess what I am trying to say is I really don't have anyone in this company but I could use a friend here. Someone to bond with and I was hoping our mutual love for Griffin could maybe pull us closer.
Bobbi Jackson: Ehhhhhhh....?
[::Bobbi says with hesitation in her voice.::]
Bobbi Jackson: How about we talk after the show tonight? I kinda need to finish getting ready now.
Diamond Steele: Sounds good, and best of luck to you... I personally will keeping my eyes on Charlotte. Regardless on how she feels I do have some unfinished business with her.
[::Bobbi nods.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Fair enough, I'll see you after the show...
[::Bobbi says closing the locker room door to return to her locker room to finish getting ready. Diamond walks away with a smile on her face as the cameras goes to elsewhere showing Super Tiger and Zoe Jane sitting side by side in the locker room. Zoe, of course, is preparing for her CHAOS Title Match while Tiger helps her. Super Tiger herself has a little longer to wait, being in the main event for the WWR World Title against Christina and Susan.::]
Super Tiger: ZJ? Can I ask you a question?
[::Zoe looks up from her boots which she was lacing up.::]
Zoe Jane: Of course you can. What's up?
[::Super Tiger peels off the jacket of her track suit, laying it on the bench next to her.::]
Super Tiger: I'm incredibly nervous. More nervous than ever before. I've never faced Susan or Christina in the ring. I...
[::Tiger sighs.::]
Super Tiger: Everyone is so much bigger than I am. Even the next smallest woman on the roster. Do you really think I can win?
[::Zoe sits up straight as she takes Tiger's hands in hers, giving them a firm, supportive squeeze.::]
Zoe Jane: Absolutely I believe in you, you've already proven without a shadow of a doubt that size isn't everything. You got this far already, after all.
[::She gently caresses her girlfriend's cheek, looking into her eyes.::]
Zoe Jane: I have NO doubt that you can do this.
[::Super Tiger let's out a giggle, nuzzling her cheek into Zoe's hand.::]
Super Tiger: You always know the right things to say Zoe.
[::The luchadora looks up, her eyes shining as she smiles.::]
Super Tiger: And you'll be the CHAOS champion after you beat Charlotte up with all those weapons and things! Just... just be careful okay? I'll be right here to nurse you back to health afterwards.
[::Tiger giggles again, squeezing Zoe's hand. The slightly taller beauty smiles as she nods her head.::]
Zoe Jane: That's the plan, both of us heading home with title belts slung over our shoulders. And hey, if somehow things don't work out tonight, it ain't the end of the world. I'll still have what's most important to me.
[::She winks at Tiger, a warm smile playing across her lips. Super Tiger blushes again and giggles.::]
Super Tiger: Hai! We'll both be champions and bring more gold to the Phoenix Coalition too!
[::Super Tiger stops, tapping her chin.::]
Super Tiger: Actually ZJ. I have an idea. Interested?
[::Zoe raises an eyebrow and nods her head.::]
Zoe Jane: Of course I am.
Super Tiger: Well... say things don't pan out for us tonight.
[::Super Tiger nods to herself.::]
Super Tiger: I mean I really do believe you and I will win, but say we don't. What if...
[::Tiger grins.::]
Super Tiger: What if you and I form a tag team and go after THOSE titles?! Your strength and my speed ZJ? We'd be unbeatable!
[::Zoe giggles a bit, she hardly considers herself a powerhouse, but by contrast she IS the stronger of the two and so she flexes her bicep a bit for her girlfriend.::]
Zoe Jane: That sounds like a fantastic back-up plan.
[::Super Tiger giggles herself, poking Zoe's bicep and grinning.::]
Super Tiger: You're so buff! We have our plan, and our backup plan!
[::Tiger wraps her arms around her girlfriend, pressing her lips quickly to Zoe's.::]
Super Tiger: You're up soon ZJ! You will do great, and become a champion!
[::Zoe kisses Tiger back, tightly squeezing her close before she slips out of her embrace and stands up, a determined look on her face as she slaps her own cheeks.::]
Zoe Jane: I can DO this.
Super Tiger: Hai! ZJ will be the first ever CHAOS champion!
[::The camera backs out of the room as Super Tiger continues to cheer on her girlfriend as Battleground returns to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit and it is for the WWR Battleground Championship, introducing first...
[::"Country Road by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes" blares over the PA Speakers as Maybelle Harper steps out onto the stage to a great reaction. She plays up for the crowd a bit before making her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: The challenger...From Lost Creek, West Virginia. She is Auntie...Maybelle Harper!
Alexis Rose: Here comes a friend of the former Battleground Champion in good ole Auntie Maybelle who had a great debut on Battleground only two weeks ago. Tonight she challenges for a championship!
Monica Powers: And you have to believe revenge for her Krystal is on the menu tonight. But it seems like a lot of people have that in mind for the Morrigan right now...
[::Maybelle gets in the the ring and screams something about America before pacing back and forth staring at the stage awaiting the arrival of the champion.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"Shireen by UMAI" hits the PA Speakers as the lights dim in the arena as the Morrigan walks out onto the stage with the WWR Battleground Championship slung over her shoulder. The crowd boos her loudly the images of what she did to Krystal Kirk still fresh in their minds as the mysterious woman makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From Parts Unknown. She is the WWR Battleground Champion...Morrigan!
Monica Powers: This woman seriously gives me the creeps Alexis...
Alexis Rose: She's as dangerous as she is creepy, and she holds the championship she claims has belonged to her from the very beginning. It will be interesting to see how she matches up to the much larger challenger tonight.
[::The Morrigan steps into the ring and casually hands off the title to the referee as she raises a hand and to the sky as the lights in the arena brighten up again. She grins across the ring at her opponent with evil intentions as the referee holds up the championship for all to see before calling for the bell to get this title match underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
The match begins, and before Maybelle can leave the corner, Morrigan smirks, striking Krystal Kirk’s signature title motion, pointing up to the ceiling and glancing at Harper with a smirk. Auntie Maybelle responds, flipping Morrigan the bird before moving to the center of the ring. The Morrigan throws a hard chop, but Maybelle slaps the strike away and just punches Morrigan straight in the mouth, dropping the Dark Druidess to her back.
Maybelle flexes for the crowd, the entire arena cheering loudly for the larger than life woman as Morrigan gets to her feet, a look of focused rage on her face as she comes in, hitting a barrage of follow up chops on Maybelle’s chest, forcing her back into the corner. Morrigan delivers a HARD kick to Maybelle’s stomach, causing her to double over in pain. Morrigan strikes Krystal’s trademark pose yet again before wrapping Harper up in an attempt at an exploder suplex into the corner.
Morrigan taunting the former Battleground Champion! Looking for a Krystalline Breaker! Maybelle comes to, planting her feet and blocking the suplex attempt before driving an elbow into Morrigan’s face, hard, causing the raven haired assassin to stumble back into the corner herself and Maybelle takes advantage, driving multiple kicks into Morrigan’s midsection dropping her down into a seated position.
Maybelle runs in yelling "How ya like this, ya backstabbin' witch!?", nailing Morrigan with a brutal BRONCO BUSTER! Maybelle goes to pull Morrigan out of the corner, but the Dark Druidess rolls out of the ring to the floor, clutching her chest, rage in her eyes. She reaches up under the apron, retrieving a kendo stick and sliding into the ring. Maybelle takes a step back, but the referee steps in, yelling at Morrigan to drop the weapon. Morrigan hands it over, and as soon as the referee turns to throw it out of the ring, the Dark Druidess turns to Maybelle who has stepped forward to grab her and GREEN MIST! Morrigan spews some sort of vile liquid straight into the eyes, nose, and mouth of Auntie Maybelle who stumbles back, clawing at her face. Morrigan steps forward, spinning Maybelle around. She’s got her hooked! BLACKEST MAGICKS! Maybelle slumps to the mat as Morrigan goes in for the cover, rolling her opponent up! That’s it! Morrigan retains yet again!
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and STILL WWR Battleground Champion...The Morrigan!
[::Morrigan rolls out of the ring and grabs her championship taking off immediately before the referee notices the green mist on Maybelle's face. Clearly not even wanting to give them the opportunity of trying to reverse the decision.::]
Alexis Rose: By hook or by crook, Morrigan retains her championship...
Monica Powers: Probably exactly what El Sin Rostro wanted too!
Alexis Rose: That's a good point, oh boy! That match in two weeks is gonna be NUTS!
Monica Powers: Hope El Sin Rostro is on the look out for the mist! We'll be right back with more Battleground, don't go anywhere!
[::Battleground returns from commercial break as we see Bobbi Jackson leaning against the wall outside of Katrina's locker room as she is in there with Misti giving her girlfriend one final pep talk for her tag team match with Bobbi against the Frosts that is just minutes away. As Bobbi stands there trying to be patient she hears a pair of thigh high boots clacking on the floor as she turns her attention to see Dominique Frost marching right towards the Phoenix. Bobbi immediately stands up straight because if this was about to be a fight before their match she was going to be prepared for it.::]
Dominique Frost: Heh heh, my my, aren't we the scaredy cat? Not without good reason, of course.
[::The towering blonde smirks as she stops right in front of Bobbi, her cold blue eyes staring down into the shorter woman's. Bobbi narrows her eyes and glares as she stares up at the tall leggy Frost huffing a bit.::]
Bobbi Jackson: What do you want Dominique? Our match is up next? If you're trying to take me out before we get out there I'm not going down without a fight!
[::Dominique chuckles as she mockingly pats Bobbi on the head.::]
Dominique Frost: Oh, Bobbi Bobbi Bobbi, what would be the point in doing that? I want ALL to see as I crush this pitiful little resistance of yours.
[::Bobbi growls and smacks Dominique's hand away.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Then what do you want?!
Dominique Frost: I'm here to make you am offer...
[::The tall blonde grins wickedly.::]
Dominique Frost: You stay out of the way while I annihilate Misti and you get to walk away safe and sound tonight. Try and get in the way and, well, I can then make no promises.
Bobbi Jackson: Oh wow! I mean...that's such a great deal! I don't know what to say!
[::The look on Bobbi's face and her tone shows that she's being extremely sarcastic.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Whatever did I do to deserve such a FANTASTIC offer!?
[::The Phoenix continues to be lippy with Dominique, clearly not afraid of the older Frost sister. Dominique narrows her eyes ever so slightly.::]
Dominique Frost: You reached out to my sister and, as far as I can tell, didn't even try to flood her with lies and confuse her. This gesture of mercy is all you're getting from me in return, whether you take it or leave it is no concern of mine.
Bobbi Jackson: Heh...
[::Bobbi says honestly a little bit surprised by Dominique's almost genuine tone.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Look, I only told your sister the truth. Nothing more, nothing less. If you think I'm going to leave Misti hanging out there you got another thing coming. But I will give you and your sister a gesture of mercy as well. Don't come to the ring and we'll take the count out win. You all come to the ring? It's on and I'm going to show you what this Phoenix is all about!
[::Dominique chuckles a bit as she brings her arm across and just brushes Bobbi aside as she walks past her.::]
Dominique Frost: Very well then, we will simply crush the BOTH of you to prove the futility of resistance in the face of the Court.
Bobbi Jackson: Blah blah blah, the time for talking is over Dominique, just go get your sister and we will see you both in the ring!
[::At this point Bobbi pounds on Katrina's door in a huff.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Alright Misti, lets go!
[::The Phoenix says alerting her partner that it was time to go to work as Battleground returns back to ringside for the next match.:]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit. Introducing first...
[::"The Phoenix by Fall Out Boy" plays over the PA Speakers as flame pyro shoots off from the sides of the stage as Alexa Cannon walks out first before turning around to face the stage and points as her girlfriend, the WWR Revolutionary Champion Bobbi Jackson and Misti Malandro take the stage, they pose for the crowd before making their way to the ring as the crowd goes wild...::]
Arianna Grey: Being accompanied to the ring by Alexa Cannon. Representing the Phoenix Coalition, the team of Misti Malandro and the WWR Revolutionary Champion, The Rising Phoenix...Bobbi Jackson!
Monica Powers: Two weeks ago the Phoenix Coalition formed at the end of Battleground and the Queen's Court have been feeling the pressure ever since!
Alexis Rose: It's nice to see the numbers are finally even now between Bobbi and the Court. Although if social media is to believed Jackson actually had dinner last night with one of her opponents here tonight. Wonder how THAT went...
[::Alexa gets into the ring first, followed by Bobbi and Misti as the champion raises her title up high in the air as the crowd cheers the trio of beautiful blondes on. Bobbi places the title back on her shoulder and alerts both Misti and Alexa to pay attention in case their opponents try to enter from somewhere other than the stage.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponents...
[::"Bootylicious by Destiny's Child" hits the PA Speakers as the Frost sister strut out onto the entrance stage and poses for the cameras. Eliza turns around and shakes her ass a bit seemingly taunting Bobbi a bit about her victory over her a few weeks ago as the two members of the Court make their way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Representing the Queen's Court. The team of Dominique and Eliza, the Frost sisters!
Monica Powers: Eliza Frost, any way you want to slice it, got a pinfall win on Bobbi Jackson on Battleground several weeks ago which has seemingly lined up to be the next challenger for the Phoenix's championship at Belles on Parade.
Alexis Rose: Well it took three members of the Court hitting their finishers on the champion to put her down. It will be interesting to see if the Frost sisters can score another win against Bobbi and the Phoenix Coalition tonight. Not if Misti has anything to say about it...
[::Eliza and Dominique get into the ring as Eliza blows Bobbi a kiss which fires up Alexa as she wants to charge across the ring Bobbi calms Alexa down and reminds her about the curvy brunettes mind games and gets her out of the ring to stand at ringside before talking to Misti about who is going to start the match as the referee rings the bell to kick things off.::]
DING! DING! DING!
As the bell is rung it's Bobbi who steps out of the Coalition corner to face Dominique, but the tall blond waggles her finger, then points at Misti in a challenge. Bobbi narrows her eyes a bit, but hearing Misti ask for the tag she briefly hesitates, then reaches over to tag her in as Dominique's grin widens. Misti just bursts into a dash right past Bobbi, tackling down Dominique before the older Frost sister can react. She leans in to lay into the tall woman with punches, forcing Dominique to bring her arms up to block the blows. The Dominiqtrix pulls her long legs up, placing her the bottoms of her boots on Misti's body before just kicking her right off, sending her tumbling away, but as both women stand up Misti is right back on her, relentlessly swinging her fists at the taller woman to force her back step by step. A sudden Dropkick blasts Dominique's guard apart and sends her staggering backward right into Eliza's extended tag, the younger Frost sister tagging herself in.
Misti's sights are still set on Dominique though as she rushes in at her, only to get caught as Dominique ducks in and grabs her, lifting her off her feet, then slamming her crotch first onto a knee while Eliza slips in the ring. As Misti cries out in pain Dominique shoves her away right into Eliza, who grabs her from behind and lifts her up, then slams her down on HER knee in an Atomic Drop. Misti grimaces from the back to back impact before she gets blasted in the face by Dominique's boot and sent down before the tall blond finally steps out onto the apron.
Bobbi glares across the ring at the Frosts as Eliza grabs Misti by the hair and yanks on it to bash the back of the blond's head against the ring's canvas over and over even as the referee tells her to let go, waiting for a four-count before raising her hands and standing up. Misti rolls onto her hands and knees, shaking her head to clear it up as she grabs the ropes and goes to stand up, only for a smirking Eliza to rush at her and jump, driving her great big plump ass into Misti's back and knock her back down. Both Frosts smirk pleasedly as they tag again and Dominique steps into the ring.
The wicked sisters tag back and forth as they refuse to let Misti escape their grasp, every time she seems to be about to slip out and tag Bobbi in the illegal Frost rushing in to stop her. As Misti desperately reaches out an arm for her partner Dominique grabs her ankles and drags her back toward the center of the ring, then steps between the worn-down blond's legs, crossing them and tangling them up with hers in a Deathlock. She reaches down and gives Misti's back a loudly smacking swat with an open hand, as Misti grimaces in pain Dominique snatches hold of her wrists and pulls back on them, lifting the Mystical one's body off the canvas before raising a foot to step it on the back of her head and just stomp her face into the canvas. Dominique chuckles as she untangles their legs, then sits astride Misti's back, pulling her arms over her knees and cupping her chin in her hands in a Camel Clutch, all the while smirkingly looking at the frustrated Bobbi.
Misti grits her teeth though, her whole body trembling as she slowly pulls her knees under her, then in an impressive show of strength stands up, lifting Dominique on her back before falling backward on top of her to slam the tall blond down. Misti rolls off her opponent and drags herself toward her team's corner, at last reaching out to touch Bobbi's hand and tag her in. Bobbi pats Misti's shoulder as she steps in before rushing toward Dominique as the tall blond is standing up and the Phoenix just throws herself at her, pouncing on Dominique in a Lou Thesz Press to knock her down before unleashing her frustration in a barrage of blows that rain down on the wicked woman.
At the referee's demand Bobbi stands up, but isn't about to let Dominique get away from her, dragging the tall woman up by her hair and tucking the older Frost's head under her arm as she rushes forward and tosses her legs up, driving Dominique's face down into the canvas with a Bulldog. Bobbi hops up and gestures for Dominique to rise, waiting for her to get on her hands and knees and go to stand before jumping at her and just driving her back down face first by dropping a leg across the back of her neck in a Fameasser. The crowd cheers as the Phoenix is leading the Coalition's offensive against the Court.
Bobbi reaches down to grab Dominique's head again, dragging her up as she stuffs the tall blond's head between her thighs and goes to hook her arms for the Phoenix Landing, but Dominique isn't about to let that happen, shoving Bobbi backward to slip free from her. Bobbi huffs and rushes in after the backpedaling blond, but Dominique manages to sidestep the oncoming Phoenix, giving her a shove to send her stumbling right into Eliza, who grabs Bobbi's head and drops backward to drive the Phoenix's face into the second turnbuckle with a Reverse STO. Stunned, Bobbi staggers backward, shaking her head, only to get booted right in the back of her head and sent down face first.
Eliza gets tagged in and while Dominique steps out onto the apron she pulls Bobbi up and slips her head under Bobbi's arm, grabbing her legs as she hoists her off her feet, then drops backward at the ropes, Dominique reaching up to snatch hold of Bobbi's head and yank down on it as the Frosts drive the Phoenix's throat into the top rope with a Dudley Death Drop like move, Bobbi grasping her throat and coughing as she ricochets off the rope and falls over. Eyes wide as she gasps for breath, Bobbi crawls toward her Coalition's corner, arm reaching toward Misti, who's likewise reaching out to her, but before they can touch Misti's ankles are grabbed and her feet yanked out from under her by a wickedly grinning Dominique, Misti's face bouncing off the apron as she falls onto it.
Dominique dusts her hands off as she walks back around to her team's corner while Eliza drags Bobbi away from hers, pulling her along by her ankles, then steps up next to the prone blond, turning her back to her and swinging her arms up behind her before flinging herself into a backward flip while tucking her knees in to land on Bobbi's back with them crashing down on her first in her Snow Storm double Kneedrop. Bobbi cries out in pain and Dominique nods approvingly as she climbs up onto the apron. Eliza drags Bobbi by her hair now as she seats the Phoenix in the corner, then smirks as she backs up and turns around, wiggling her shapely hips. Bobbi shakes her head as her eyes widen and she realizes what's coming too late to do anything about it as Eliza backs on up and stuffs her round butt right in the Phoenix's face. She bends over and roughly rubs her ass in while Bobbi's feet kick about, her shriek muffled by the younger Frost's great big butt.
Misti has had plenty enough though as she drags herself into the ring and glares across the ring as she takes a three-point stance, her sights set on her target. Dominique, too focused on enjoying Bobbi's humiliation, tags herself in and only as she's stepping in through the ropes does she see Misti coming, much too late to warn Eliza who's stepping away from Bobbi to give her sister room and gets just blasted with a Shoulder Tackle that flings her backward and sends her tumbling out through the ropes. Still going full-steam, Misti rushes at Dominique and smashes her down with Clothesline after Clothesline each time the tall blond stands up. She finally scales the turnbuckles onto the second rope, gesturing for Dominique to stand again before clasping her hands and swinging them over her head as she jumps at the tall beauty, but before she can brind the Double Axehandle down on her Dominique suddenly swings her leg up, just Big Booting Misti out of the air.
As Dominique staggers backward from the recoil of her own kick, she feels an arm reach through her legs and suddenly she's yanked back and down, rolled up in a Schoolgirl, but rather than going for a pin Bobbi stands and steps a leg through Dominique's, crossing the tall woman's long legs over hers. The crowd cheers excitedly as though Dominique tries to struggle she gets twisted over onto her belly and right into the Trial By Fire, Bobbi's signature take on a Sharpshooter. Dominique cries out in pain and claws at the canvas, trying to drag herself toward the ropes, but Bobbi sits low on the hold and leans back, putting brutal pressure on the older Frost's legs and back 'till she can't take it any more and rapidly slams her hand against the canvas to tap out.
Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, Misti Malandro and Bobbi Jackson...The Phoenix Coalition!
[::The second Bobbi lets go of the hold and steps forward she walks right into an incoming Eliza. The two have a brief stare down and exchange words that the camera can't pick up before Bobbi and Misti leave the ring letting Eliza check on her older sister..::]
Monica Powers: Big win for the Coalition there, I'm sure Susan is less than pleased.
Alexis Rose: Susan kinda brought this on her group, not leaving Bobbi alone. Forming a group of her own to combat the Court was the right move!
Monica Powers: With the older Frost sister tapping out will this be Eliza's fate at Belles on Parade?
Alexis Rose: If you're asking Bobbi? I'm sure the answer is absolutely! But we'll see what Eliza has to say about that soon enough. We'll be right back everyone!
[::The scene opens in the boiler room of all placed. As you would expect, Charlotte Haliday alone. She is sitting on a black steel folding chair wearing a black skully that says “Kill Me” on it. Already donning her ring gear, she motions camera to zoom in. With her close up; Charlotte begins to speak.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Do I believe Bobbi when she says she formed The Phoenix Coalition to battle The Queens Court? Yes, I do; Bobbi is a good person, have no reason not to believe her. Do I believe Zoe when she followed up about the Coalition not forming to stockpile championships? I believe she believes that, we can split hairs until we are blue in the face. The old saying goes; the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The Phoenix Coalition’s noble cause does not change what could possibly happen by the end of the night. Fact, Super Tiger is challenging for the World Championship. Down with Team Phoenix. Susan is the queen bee of the Queen’s Court. There’s the other girl in that match, does anyone really believe Christina will walk out champion?
[::Charlotte rolls her eyes.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Come on now. One way or another; The Court or the Coalition will walk away with the World Title. That brings me to my match with Zoe; she is associated with Team Phoenix. Imagine a world where Team Phoenix holds the Revolutionary, the World and the Chaos Championships to close WWR Bow Down. Tell me that scenario does not equal a monopoly over most of the championships in this company? I can’t do anything about the World Title, no plans of getting involved in Bobbi and Eliza’s chemical romance. I can only focus on what I can do. Later I have the power to prevent one of the WWR branded championships from finding its way into Team Phoenix’s hands...
[::Charlotte pauses to catch her breath.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Zoe, I’m gonna correct you on one thing. I wasn’t being paranoid about the possible interferences; I was being reasonable. We both have enemies. Diamond is obsessed with me. Envy is obsessed with you. The Court wants your head. Someone will point out, it is the Chaos Championship, what did I expect? Under normal circumstances I would tell those people they are right, this is a division built on chaos, anything can happen. You are looking at a girl who was screwed out of the Battleground Championship for no good reason. The excuse all those broads tell me, Charlotte, you ran your mouth, what did you expect?
I expected a fair opportunity to become champion, not have an entire girls club screw me over cuz of hurt feelings. People may point out, you should welcome Zoe’s litany of enemies. Remember. Chaos. Unpredictable. There is a chance that whoever may have come out to attack Zoe screws me over accidentally. You would have had a pissed off Charlotte on your hands, don’t care what numbers advantage anyone has, you don’t want me pissed the F-off. Thanks to the stipulation of our match, there is an unlikely chance any of our numerous enemies will get inside the cage. I am not putting my complete faith in the cage, this is wrestling, we’ve seen it all before.
[::Charlotte chuckles at the prospect of the steel cage serving its designed purpose.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Steel cage matches have become a joke in that respect; people find ways to get involved anyway. No paranoia here, Zoe. I’m just used to getting screwed over, two weeks ago, it was nice for a change to have a fair match. I’m hoping, barring the selfish intentions of others we have a chance to settle things, like women. Here is what you can expect. I’m not obsessed with putting you down. If it happens, it happens. The only thing I care about is becoming champion. I may mangle your face if the chance arises. I won’t back off my statement at the top of this address, I will be damned if the Queen’s Court, Team Phoenix war sucks all the championship in this company into the matrix. I can’t allow that. Think what you want about me, I love pro wrestling. I was taught by some honorable trainers, they won’t necessarily approve of my gift for gab, a collection of friends banding together to monopolize the championships, not good for wrestling. I don’t expect the women in the back to thank me for what I am about to do. They should. They should all bow down... plug intended.
[::Charlotte winks.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Coalition. Court. Destroy each other for all I care. I intend to take the Chaos Championship with me. Best laid plans...
[::Charlotte half smirks as the scene fades to back to ringside for the Chaos title match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a Steel Cage match scheduled for one fall with no time limit, and it is for the WWR Chaos Championship! Introducing first...
[::"I Stand Alone by Godsmack" blares over the PA Speakers as Charlotte Haliday walks out onto the entrance stage to a chorus of boos. She grins smugly and pays the fans no mind as she confidently makes her way toward the ring that now has a Steel cage on it with a roof. Weapons hanging from above.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. She is...Charlotte Haliday!
Alexis Rose: Her entrance theme, extremely fitting...
Monica Powers: You can say that again, I mean she got to this point by turning on someone who tried to help her in a tag team match and then brutalized her in a hardcore match two weeks later. This woman clearly cares about no one other than herself.
[::Charlotte walks into the open door of the cage and surveys her surroundings. Checking out all the weapons hanging from the roof and the walls of the cage as she waits the arrival of Zoe Jane.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"Roar by Katy Perry" hits the PA Speakers as Zoe Jane hits the stage to a great reaction. She smiles and strikes a pose for the crowd before making her way to toward the steel structure..::]
Arianna Grey: From Baltimore, Maryland. Representing the Phoenix Coalition, she is...Zoe Jane!
Monica Powers: And here comes the former Battleground Champion!
Alexis Rose: Zoe and her girlfriend Super Tiger both have big back to back title matches here tonight, if they both win they could leave Battleground tonight as a golden couple!
[::Zoe enters the cage as well as the referee on the outside locks the door behind her standing guard at it as they have all been given strict orders from Abigail not to allow anyone get involved tonight. Zoe and Charlotte stare each other down in the cage before the referee inside rings the bell to start the title match to crown the first ever WWR Chaos Champion..::]
DING! DING! DING!
The bell rings, and Charlotte immediately turns around, grabbing a kendo stick off the wall of the cage and turning into a running forearm from Zoe. The blow rattles Charlotte, causing her to drop the Kendo stick as Zoe begins her attack in the corner, throwing rapid fire elbow strikes into her opponent. Charlotte finally gets her wherewithal, throwing up her arms and blocking an elbow strike, slapping Jane’s arm down and rolling out of the corner. She grapples Zoe, rolling through and hooking her in a tiger suplex, dropping Zoe down on her head into a quick cover.
Zoe kicks out at one, rolling away and leaping to her feet. Charlotte comes back in, just like the pitbull she’s known to be, tenacious as all get out. She overextends due to her zeal, and Zoe rolls through this time, rolling Charlotte into a front grapple and immediately putting her down with a Northern Lights Suplex. Zoe bridges, holding her in a pin, but Charlotte kicks out at one herself.
Both competitors are on their feet now, felling one another out. Charlotte grabs up the kendo stick as Zoe pulls a chair off the wall. The next few swings from either opponent are dodged by the other woman before Charlotte feints a swing with the kendo stick, causing Zoe to swing and whiff with the chair in her hands. Haliday brings the kendo stick down, hard, across the back of Jane’s arms, causing the Asian to scream out in pain as she drops the chair. Charlotte begins her attack now, laying into Zoe with the kendo stick, each sharp whap! accentuated by sharp cries of pain from her opponent. She brings the kendo stick down, aimed for Zoe’s head, but the Asian rolls out of the way, gripping her arms, welts beginning to rise ocross her arms, chest, and back. She runs, hitting the ropes, and leaps at Charlotte, throwing Haliday off guard as Jane wraps her legs around Charlotte’s head, nailing her with a hurricanrana, a la her girlfriend, Super Tiger! Charlotte hits the mat, hard, dropping the kendo stick with a grunt.
Zoe picks up a chair, turning and swinging right as Charlotte gets to her feet, the steel cracking loudly against Charlotte’s back, Haliday screaming out in pain and dropping right back down to her knees. Zoe discards the chair, hitting her kneeling opponent with an enzuigiri, flooring Haliday. Zoe moves in, lifting her downed opponent and putting her back down, hard, with a Michinoku Driver! Zoe wraps her up, but Charlotte kicks out at two, purely on instinct. Zoe slaps the mat, frustration starting to build as she pulls Charlotte back to her feet, hooking her for a second Michinoku Driver. She’s got her up! No! Haliday slips free, landing behind Zoe Jane and wrapping her arms around the Asians waist into a lightning fast snap German Suplex! There’s a loud thud as Zane hits the mat, but Charlotte is so out of it that she can’t capitalize by bridging into the pin.
Both women are down but beginning to stir. They begin to rise at the same time, swaying as they do. Both women are panting hard, Zoe clutching her arms, Charlotte wincing at the pain in her back. Zoe comes in, throwing a hard kick at Charlotte’s head, but Haliday has it scouted, ducking and throwing her own kick, straight into the exposed crotch of Jane. Zoe cries out, shrieking in pain as she hits the mat, hard. Charlotte grabs up the chair Zoe used earlier in one hand, pulling Jane to her feet with the other. She throws Zoe into the ropes and with a sickening crack, she slams the chair over Jane’s head, the Asian crumpling from the strike. Charlotte moves in, lifting Zoe to her feet before nailing her with EARLY HALIDAY! She rolls Zoe up! And gets the three count! This one is over!
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner and NEW WWR Chaos Champion, Charlotte Haliday!
[::Charlotte sits up after the bell rings and you can tell by the look on her face that she's been through a war. The referee on the outside unlocks the cage and hands the referee on the inside the Chaos Championship as they present it to Haliday. The woman just sits there staring at the Championship in her hands sitting next to her fallen opponent in Zoe Jane.::]
Alexis Rose: That was a hell of a match, congratulations to the new champion!
Monica Powers: Did she really need to kick Zoe low like that though...?
Alexis Rose: Hey, this is the Chaos division after all. There are no rules. That shot was just as legal as a hip toss or a wrist lock. That's the kind of stuff you're gonna have to expect from this division.
Monica Powers: That's a fair point...
Alexis Rose: Of course it is, I made it! All kidding aside. That match was incredible. Congratulations to both of those ladies for a fantastic match and major props to Charlotte Haliday, our first ever WWR Chaos Champion! We'll be right back with our main event after this quick commercial break!
[::Battleground returns from its final commercial break of the evening as Katrina Showtime stands backstage with the WWR World Champion Susan Rigger. With her trusty microphone in hand Katrina begins to speak.::]
Katrina Showtime: Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time. The WWR World Champion, the Suplex Queen...Susan RIgger. How are you feeling going into your title defense in just a matter of moments?
[::In her usual style Susan isn't satisfied with how Katrina's offering her the mic, so she grabs the interviewer's hand to pull the mic closer to her mouth.::]
Susan Rigger: I'm feeling like I am annoyed, Katrina. The Court was set to send a clear message tonight that getting in our way is the height of foolishness but unfortunately it's down to me to make sure the evening ends on the right note for us.
[::Katrina fidgets a bit uncomfortable before pulling the microphone slowly back to herself.::]
Katrina Showtime: Are you at all worried that you could lose your championship tonight without being pinned or submitted...?
[::Susan grimaces a bit at the very thought of it, her lips curling into a snarl.::]
Susan Rigger: That's always a risk in a triple threat, so I'm going to need to keep my eyes wide open to make sure that doesn't happen.
[::She grabs the belt slung over her shoulder to show it to the camera.::]
Susan Rigger: This title is STAYING with me, with the Court, I promise you that!
Katrina Showtime: If you get past tonight's match you will go on to Belles on Parade to face...
[::Before the brunette interviewer can finish, Susan cuts her off.::]
Susan Rigger: WHEN I win tonight I will go on to win AGAIN and AGAIN!
[::She huffingly snatches the mic from Katrina's hand.::]
Susan Rigger: I AM the Suplex Queen and I will rule over WWR for a very, VERY long time to come and there's NOBODY that can do a thing about that!
[::Susan shoves the microphone back in Katrina's chest, the interviewer catching it before it can fall as the champion storms off as the cameras return to ringside for the main event of the evening.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is your main event of the evening, for the WWR World Championship! It is a triple threat match with a sixty-minute time limit, introducing first...
[::"Mega Man 3 Hip Hop Theme Instrumental" blares over the PA Speakers as Christina Zdunich makes her way onto the stage and looks out into the crowd of the arena. A new found confidence can be seen in the former multi-time World Champion as she makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From Detroit, Michigan. She is the Blossoming Rose...Christina Zdunich!
Alexis Rose: Here comes the woman formally known as Crystal Hilton, who seems to be on a resurgence of sorts for her career in 2020 and it's led her to this moment, a shot at the WWR World Championship!
Monica Powers: She's a veteran Alexis. She's been in this situation before, she's squared off with Susan before, she has a chance to pull off an incredible moment tonight!
[::Christina gets into the ring and takes in the moment with a deep breath, turning to the stage awaiting her opponents.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"Haikyuu Fly High Opening 4 by AmaLee" hits the PA Speakers as Super Tiger rushes out onto the stage a bundle of excitement. Energy coursing through her veins as the crowd cheers her on as she runs down the aisle to make her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. Representing the Phoenix Coalition, she is...Super Tiger!
Monica Powers: Super Tiger is ready to show the world she is capable of being a World Champion!
Alexis Rose: Anyone who doubts the in ring ability of Super Tiger hasn't followed this young ladies career. And if anyone dares to take her lightly tonight we could absolutely be looking at the new WWR World Champion!
[::Super Tiger hops into the ring and poses for the crowd before looking over at Christina. She nods at her in a show of respect but in a way to tell her that she's not here to play nice tonight. Before the two of them can share words, the champions music starts to play.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::"Bite The Dust by The Pussy Cat Dolls" hits the PA Speakers as the WWR World Champion struts her way out onto the stage, the World Championship slung over her shoulder as she poses with a sly grin. The crowd boos the Suplex Queen as she makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From London, England. Representing the Queen's Court. She is the WWR World Champion, the Suplex Queen...Susan Rigger!
Monica Powers: She certainly seems full of herself, look at the way she walks to the ring! She really respects no one but herself and the Court...
Alexis Rose: You don't get it do you? Susan is the ultimate chess player. The woman knows how to play mind games and get into her opponents heads. Whether they realize it or not, Susan respects every woman she steps into the ring with. She wouldn't be a World Champion if she didn't.
[::Susan steps into the ring and holds the World Championship up high for her opponents to see before handing it off to the referee.She does some quick stretches as they raise the championship up with both hands to show the crowd that the title is in fact on the line and then wastes no time ringing the bell to get the main event underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
As the bell is rung Super Tiger immediately explodes into a dash right toward the champion, diving into a feet first slide through her legs before Susan can grab her and popping up behind her to grab a hold around her waist. Susan quickly hooks a leg around Tiger's to block her attempts to lift the busty Britt and as the two are tangled up Crystal looks to get the advantage by sneaking behind Tiger and wrapping her arms around her. Susan smirks as she breaks Tiger's grip and in a swooping motion slips around both opponents, grabs hold around Crystal's waist and in an explosive motion yanks them both off their feet, then topples backward to slam them down in a double stack German Suplex.
Susan kips up to her feet and lets out a dominant roar, pure adrenaline pumping through her veins, but she's a bit quick to celebrate as Crystal shakes off the suplex faster than she expected, grabbing Susan's shoulders from behind and jumping up to wrap her legs around Susan's head, then swing around and toss her body backward to take the Suplex Queen down with a Mysteriorana. Susan however manages to plant her feet, grabbing hold of Crystal as she swings her back up, then grabs the back of her head with both hands, setting her up for her finishing Phoenix-Plex, the devastating Neo Rigger Plex. Before she can drive the latina down though Super Tiger recovers as well and lunges in, Dropkicking the back of Susan's knee to send her falling backward, Crystal's weight landing on her fortunately well cushioned chest.
The Blossoming Rose wastes no time taking advantage of the position she finds herself in, stepping a foot onto Susan's chest as she stands, then kicks herself into a backwards flip to crash down across the busty beauty's belly in a standing Moonsault, popping right to her feet afterward. Before Christina can turn she feels a pair of hands on her shoulders in turn, Super Tiger actually leapfrogs right over her, tucking into a roll to slam back first on Susan's midsection. The champion groans, curling up from the back to back impacts on her gut.
Crystal hops over Susan to get at Super Tiger, who catches her coming in, taking her down with an Armdrag, then stepping around the caught arm to catch it between her legs and rolling over Crystal to catch her with a La Magistral Cradle. Christina kicks out on the count of two and the two lucha practicioners go into an exchange of takedowns and quick pinning combinations, going back and forth with neither able to keep the other down for three.
This goes on until suddenly as she's jumping to her feet Crystal gets blasted in the face by a pair of feet and she's knocked down by the Dropkick from Susan. The Suplex Queen goes to grab Super Tiger as the smallest of the three women is down on one knee, but before she can get hold of her the diminutive woman launches herself into a backward flip, her leg coming up and over in a Pelee Kick to bring her foot smacking down on the crown of Susan's skull in a stunning blow that sends the busty beauty down to a knee. Super Tiger pumps her fists with excitement as she grabs Susan's arm, tossing it over her shoulder, then glancing back to adjust their position she presses her body against Susan's, thrusting her hips up under the buxom brunette's to launch her overhead with an Exploder Suplex and send her crashing down on top of Christina.
Tiger steps a foot atop her piled up opponents, then throws herself into another backward flip, smashing down on her foes in another, beautifully high arching Standing Moonsault, showing Crystal how it's done. She jumps to her feet and points at the nearest corner of the ring, the crowd cheering excitedly as Tiger ascends the ropes, but just as she reaches the top Christina manages to drag herself out from under Susan and lunges toward the corner, running right up the turnbuckles to wrap her legs around Tiger's head and bring her crashing down onto the canvas with a Hurricanrana right off the top rope.
Crystal jumps to her feet, signaling for her amazing Mega Buster Senton as she grabs the ropes on either side of the turnbuckle, then just jumps up onto the top rope, turning around to face the ring, but as she does she sees Susan getting up to a knee. Changing gear, she instead flings herself through the air at the champion rather than the downed Tiger, but as she's coming down on her Susan suddenly lunges in and swings her arm up, smashing her forearm across Crystal's chin in a European Uppercut that smashes her right out of the air. Susan drags a thumb across her throat as she grabs Crystal by the hair and hauls her to her feet, then hooks a leg and slides her head under Crystal's arm, setting her up for a classic Rigger Plex.
Before she can go for it though Super Tiger rushes in and blasts her with a Dropkick that sends both her opponents stumbling backward and falling right onto the second rope as they try to catch themselves. Seeing her opening, Tiger dashes across the ring and hits the ropes, coming back even faster than she went and grabbing the top and second rope as she swings her legs out through them and using their elasticity swings back in, driving her knees into Crystal's face and her shins into Susan's to blast both women off the ropes.
She glances out into the excitedly cheering crowd as she grabs the top rope with both hands, then leans back, pulling the rope taunt and flinging herself up onto it to spring off, soaring through the air as she flips backward in a Shooting Star Press, but as she's coming down on Crystal the latina's eyes suddenly snap open and she swings her legs up, Tiger's eyes going wide right before she crashes into the bottoms of Christina's boots face first. The stunned Tiger staggers backward and tumbles out right through the ropes.
Crystal stands up and seeing Susan on her way to her feet she measures the champion up, visualizing the impact as she pivots on her foot and her leg lashes out in a roundhouse kick, the Flashing Lights aimed right at Susan's temple, but Susan sees the kick coming a blink of an eye early and manages to duck under it, the Blossoming Rose's leg slicing through the air but nothing else. Left off balance, Crystal has no escape from Susan's clutches as the Suplex Queen grabs her leg before she can set it back down, then slips her head under Crystal's arm and clasps her hands, the latina's head and leg caught in her grasp as she tightly arches her back to drive Crystal on the back of her head in a Rigger Plex, maintaining the picture perfect bridge as the referee counts the pin. Super Tiger tries to drag herself into the ring to break it up, but before she can the referee counts three and calls for the bell.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and STILL WWR World Champion...The Suplex Queen, Susan Rigger!
[::Susan stands up and immediately demands her championship, as the referee hands it to her she takes it with one hand and grabs Christina's hair with the other dragging on her on her hands and knees to essentially "bow down" before her as she laughs down at Zdunich placing a boot on the back of her head..::]
Alexis Rose: Oh come on this is uncalled for!
Monica Powers: Well the show IS called Bow Down after all...
[::Susan isn't paying attention however as Super Tiger ascends the turnbuckles and dropkicks her in the back sending the champion stumbling. She goes to check on Christina because of Super Tiger's caring nature. Susan looks to rebound and attack but before she can "Human by Hell Yeah" hit the PA Speakers as Chelsea Pryce stands on the stage as Susan stares her down, a sneer on her face.::]
Alexis Rose: The Suplex Queen and the Ice Queen at Belles on Parade for the WWR World Championship!
Monica Powers: A battle of the Queens! This oughta be epic!
Alexis Rose: Unfortunately we are out of time, we'll see you all next time for another edition of WWR Battleground!

Kelly Penkzee-Nelson: Here we are once again, another year, another new promotion and another chance for me to add more accomplishments to my career.
[::She looks at the camera, fixing the tan-like robe she’s wearing.::]
Kelly Penkzee-Nelson: For those of you that may or may not know who I am. My name is Kelly Penkzee-Nelson, or as people would call me, “KPN” for short. I’m a well traveled wrestler, a multi time champion and a certified outspoken bitch when need be.
[::She winks at the camera before speaking again.::]
Kelly Penkzee-Nelson: Tonight, I make my debut in a six pack challenge match up for a number one contendership for the Battleground Championship against five other wrestlers.
[::She smirks, knowing when it comes to titles, KPN is game.::]
Kelly Penkzee-Nelson: I’m always critical about getting chances early because I would rather earn before being put in a spot right away. I’m a fair game women and there’s other competitors that probably deserved the shot more than I did.
[::She licks her lips and bites them.::]
Kelly Penkzee-Nelson: You know what….that doesn’t matter. I’m glad I got a chance to go for the Battleground Championship. What better way to start off my WWR career on a high note and win this match.
[::She keeps her eye still on the camera.::]
Kelly Penkzee-Nelson: Ladies, tonight’s the night that you’re going to see greatness in the ring. I hope your ready to be impressed.
[::KPN walks away as Battleground shifts backstage and El Sin Rostro can be seen walking towards the ring immediately prior to the Battleground Championship contender match. She stops in front of the camera, speaking first in English…::]
El Sin Rostro: Tonight is about more than the Battleground Championship. Tonight is about getting a ticket to avenge a wrong that happened two weeks prior. You see, Morrigan, you expected others to cower away at your presence. But I do not cower. If you expect fear, you are looking in the wrong place. I do not fear you.
[::...Then, with subtitles provided by Google, she speaks in Spanish.::]
El Sin Rostro: <<You injured KK, you have earned every bit of pain and agony I intend to inflict upon you. I seek not a match, nor your Championship for my mantle. Those will be but fringe benefits. I seek a fight… a war. And though you do not believe now, I will make you a believer. You will learn that you cannot win a war with a Faceless foe!>>
[::After she speaks, she pushes the camera away, storming towards the ring for the match. The scene goes to a quick video promo for Belles of Parade before taking us to ringside for the opening contest.::]
Arianna Grey: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the opening contest of the evening and it is a Six Pack Challenge match. The winner of this match will become the number one contender for the WWR Battleground Championship!
[::.The six women had already entered the ring during the commercial break and tensions are clearly high. Three new comers and three WWR main stays are about to collide to determine who will be the next to challenge for the WWR Battleground Championship in two weeks time. It's anybodies match to win tonight.::]
Monica Powers: Each woman in this match wants to be a champion Alexis, but only one can get a shot at the title! Who do you got?
Alexis Rose: Oh geez! I have no idea Monica! The talent pool in WWR is incredibly deep. I wouldn't be surprised by any of these women walking out of here with the win and future title shot tonight!
DING! DING! DING!
All six women are in the ring as the bell sounds, and slowly look over each other, trying to figure out how to best attack this match. Brittany makes the first move, going straight for Kelly Penzkee-Nelson, backing her into a corner and throwing wild haymakers until KPN reverses and chops her hard in the chest, the blow ringing through the arena. Anya Makarov is confronted by Rebecca Hendrix, and the two lock up, while Ash Walweat and El Sin Rostro are doing the same. Hendrix gets an advantage and tries to bodyslam Anya, but the Russian slips out the back door and rolls Rebecca up from behind, but an alert ESR breaks off her engagement with Ash to break up the pin attempt. On the opposite side of the ring, Kelly kicks Brittany in the belly and hooks her up, taking her over with a vertical suplex with a bridge, but it's broken up by Everyone's Favorite Alien.
The action is a blur, with all six women getting an opponent into a pinning predicament on multiple occasions, yet finding another opponent breaking it up. ESR has Walweat down, but Makarov interrupts, followed by Hendrix trying to roll her up, but KPN intercedes. Brittany grabs El Sin Rostro and plants her with a bulldog, rolling her over for a pin, but Rebecca busts it apart. Ash has KPN rolled up in the center of the ring and gets a two-count, but ESR makes the save. Anya tries to schoolgirl Brittany, but she kicks out just as Walweat comes in to protest. Things begin to break down as Rebecca finds herself on the outside thanks to Kelly, and Ash and Anya are trying their best to get the other into a pinning predicament. With the other four competitors distratced, El Sin Rostro plants Brittany with a Tornado DDT, then quickly hops to the top and hits Eyes Without A Face (front flip legdrop) and gets the pin just before Ash crashes into them, trying to make the save.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, El Sin Rostro!
[::Ash groaned in frustration being seconds late from breaking the pinfall up but what's done is done. El Sin Rostro stands up and you could tell just to look at her that she was fired up getting what she wanted.::]
Alexis Rose: Big win for El Sin Rostro!
Monica Powers: You gotta believe she's actually probably cheering on Morrigan tonight, you know she wants her for that title. It's personal...
Alexis Rose: Very, but who knows. She could very well be facing Auntie Maybelle in two weeks time!
Monica Powers: Only time will tell! Before that though, we gotta take a quick commercial break. We'll be right back with more WWR Battleground!
[::Battleground returns from commercial break and Envy Ellis can be seen sitting on the locker-room benches taping her fists prior to her Goddess of the Cage Qualifier match against Maria Salvatore. She still has a sour expression on her face, accentuated when she looks down to her ribs to see the tape on it. She rips the tape, pulling it off and setting it aside as Katrina Showtime approaches.::]
Katrina Showtime: Envy… can I get a word with you?
[::Envy rolls her eyes, setting her head back against the wall.::]
Envy Ellis: What?
Katrina Showtime: Tonight, you’re taking on Maria Salvatore in a Goddess of the Cage qualifier where the winner will be going on to face Aura Everton at Belles on Parade to crown the inaugural Champion…
[::Envy grins.::]
Envy Ellis: Yes, and once again I will have a chance to become the first-ever two-time-first-ever Champion in WWR history! Just think about it… my name irrevocably carved into the history of this company so, twenty years down the road when people think of WWR, I am what they think of! It’s a chance to make a real statement and, really, who better to be in such a position than me.
Katrina Showtime: Well, there are people questioning why you even deserve this opportunity after you were beaten two weeks ago…
[::Envy pauses… breathing in deeply.::]
Envy Ellis: Just had to go there, didn’t you?
Katrina Showtime: I’m sorry, Envy, but…
Envy Ellis: No, you’re not sorry. I know there were people absolutely giddy to see me go through a table two weeks ago, and don’t even care about the facts behind it. But from my understanding, to win a table match, you have to put your opponent through a table. Tell me, Katrina… did Zoe Jane put me through a table?
Katrina Showtime: Well, not exactly, but…
[::Envy cuts her off.::]
Envy Ellis: A simple “yes” or “no” will suffice.
Katrina Showtime: Then it’s a no, but…
Envy Ellis: No!
[::Again, Envy immediately interjects.::]
Envy Ellis: No, there are no “buts” here. She benefited from a referee that called the bell after seeing me go through a table, but was unable to verify that it was her that actually put me there. That’s why I get this shot this week. Did anyone think about THAT? That maybe the referee’s call was questionable enough that simply shoving me to the side would have been a gross mistake?
[::She shakes her head.::]
Envy Ellis: No… I’m here because I deserve the opportunity to become Champion again. Now I have Maria Salvatore tonight, and maybe she’ll put up a fight. Maybe she thinks there’s no way she can lose. That mentality though…
Katrina Showtime: Is it familiar?
Envy Ellis: Zoe told me I CAN’T beat her. Maria said earlier this week that I CAN’T win. All these people want to tell me what I CAN and CAN’T do… If Maria is lucky tonight, I’ll look across the ring and see her, make her tap and move onto Belles On Parade. If she’s not?
[::A sneer forms on the young woman’s face as she faces Katrina directly.::]
Envy Ellis: I’ll look at her and see Zoe. And if I do that, Maria doesn’t have a prayer in the world of beating me.
[::And on that note, Katrina carefully steps back, eager to get out of the locker-room and avoid perturbing Envy farther. Knowing her match is up next anyway she wants to let her finish getting ready as Battleground returns to ringside for said match coming up next.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a Goddess of the Cage Tournament match, this match can be won by knock out, submission, or referee's stoppage if they feel one of the women cannot continue. Introducing first...
[::"Blow by Ed Sheeran, Chris Stapleton, and Bruno Mars" blares over the PA Speakers as Envy Ellis makes her way onto the stage and grins to herself as she walks off to the side and approaches the octagon cage, ready to be only the third woman to step inside this cage thus far in WWR.::]
Arianna Grey: From Washington, DC. She is...Envy Ellis!
Alexis Rose: Envy Ellis, famous for her devastating arm bar finisher is a perfect fit for the Goddess of the Cage tournament, mad props to Abigail for making this decision, it was a good one!
Monica Powers: I also think this is a fantastic opportunity for Envy to get her mind off of her rival Zoe Jane, for at least a little while hopefully. Looking forward to seeing how she does here tonight against Maria!
[::Envy gets into the cage and circles around inside of it a bit before looking over to the entrance ramp for the arrival of her opponent.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"Over by Drake" hits the PA Speakers as Maria Salvatore walks out onto the stage already running her mouth pointing her finger over at Envy as she makes her way over to the cage.::]
Arianna Grey: From Florence, Italy. She is the Mafia Princess...Maria Salvatore!
Monica Powers: Well look at the mouth on her!
Alexis Rose: These two have been snipping at each other on social media all week, but the time for talking is over. It's time to step into the cage and settle things. The winner of this match will face Aura Everton at Belles on Parade for the Goddess of the Cage Championship!
[::Maria gets into the cage and continues running her mouth as the referee tries to hold the two women apart. Quickly reminding both of them of the rules and neither wish to touch gloves. They direct both women to their corners of the cage before ringing the bell and getting this fight underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
The second the bell rings Maria rushes at Envy. Unfortunately for the Mafia Princess it looks like Ellis was more than prepared for this tactic as she grabs the woman and flips her down to the mat with a vicious looking Judo toss. The second Salvatore hits the canvas Envy already has her arm and she cranks on it almost violently. Maria screams out in agony and immediately taps out as the referee rings the bell and calls the fight quickly.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, Envy Ellis!
[::Envy holds that arm bar on for a few moments longer than the referee probably would have liked but she eventually lets go as Maria rolls around on the canvas of the cage in pain as Envy holds her hands high up in the air triumphantly.::]
Monica Powers: HO-LY SHIT!
Alexis Rose: What a freaking finish!! Do you think Aura was watching!?
Monica Powers: I would certainly believe so. You want to scout your opponent ahead of time and Envy just made a hell of a statement!
Alexis Rose: We've gotta take a quick commercial break, but we'll be right back with more WWR Battleground right after this!
[::Jane and Sadie were both backstage discussing the match they were in tonight, as they were in matching gear, anticipating their second tag match in WWR.::]
Jane Adler: You think we've bit off a little too much, Sadie?
Sadie Cassidy: Nah, we can handle these cowards.
[::As the two speak to one another, Katrina Showtime approaches them both with microphone in hand.::]
Katrina Showtime: Hey girls, I was wondering if I could get a quick word from you two about your tag match coming up next?
[::Sadie looked back and smiled warmly, whilst Jane closed the distance and stands behind her partner.::]
Sadie Cassidy: Of course, shug. What's on your mind?
Katrina Showtime: I wanted to start off by thanking you both for looking out for me two weeks ago. But now you all find yourself in a handicap match against the Satsujin Triad. How are you all prepared to handle this?
Jane Adler: Ain't no thang, Katrina. Sadie and I never liked bullies, and watching them go off on you like that wasn't right.
Sadie Cassidy: In fact, they're lucky we didn't start anything then and there.
[::Sadie said confidently, before Jane reiterated the handicap match they fought in.::]
Jane Adler: This handicap match is going to be a real challenge, but, on the other hand, it's actually a blessing in disguise.
Sadie Cassidy: Exactly! We both know that snake Malaya will get involved one way or another. We figure it's better for her to be in the match as well, that way we can keep an eye on her while dealing with her goon squad.
[::Katrina nods in agreement although its clear by the look on her face she's a bit worried about them.::]
Katrina Showtime: You two just be careful out there tonight...okay? Do your absolute best to have one anothers backs?
Jane Adler: Always. We've got ourselves covered, Katrina. Just let them know if they wanna raise hell, then tell them we're coming, and hell's coming with us!
[::Jane said, as she and Sadie walk off for their match. The camera fades out and comes back in to focus on Cappadonna, Nari Chang, and in the middle, Malaya Diyosa, the Satsujin Triad wear irritated looks on their faces, as Malaya speaks first.::]
Malaya Diyosa: I should be the current Revolutionary Champion right now, but, fortune was not in my favor. Nor is it now, since I have to waste my time with you two rejects.
[::Malaya said with a sneer and obvious disdain for the Regulators.::]
Malaya Diyosa: Even though Josie Wales may have trained us both, I can guarantee you both are nothing compared to us. You're essentially the diet version of her, while we have resolve in our conflict. We are the role models of the Asian community, while you two are more than likely some racist yeehawing backwoods rejects Josie took sympathy on.
[::Malaya said coldly, not even giving Jane nor Sadie the time of day or posing them as a threat.::]
Malaya Diyosa: Adler, Cassidy. The two of you are also going to have an unfortunate fate. Because not only am I furious after Bobbi scraped by with my title, you two made the grave mistake of interfering with my girls' business. The three of us, are going to end the two of you. And there is no doubt about it.
[::The cameras fade out and return to ringside for the next match up.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a handicap tag team match scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit, introducing first...
[::"Honky Tonk Stomp by Brooks & Dunn" blares over the PA Speakers as the team collectively known as Regulators Inc out onto the stage and pose for the cameras and the fans in attendance. The crowd gives them a warm reaction as they make their way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in St. Louis, Missouri. They are the team of Sadie Cassidy and Jane Adler, Regulators Inc!
Alexis Rose: One of the newer tag teams to come into WWR as of late here Monica and these two might have bitten off a bit more than they could chew two weeks ago on Battleground!
Monica Powers: Sadie and Jane came to the defense of our lead interviewer Katrina Showtime before things could get potentially physical between her and Cappadonna which led to the tag challenge being laid out this week, not knowing then that it would turn into the handicap variety with the entire Triad.
[::Adler and Cassidy get into the ring and try their best to rile up the crowd to get them hyped for the upcoming tag match as the ring announcer brings out their opponents.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponents...
[::"Hong Kong Krunch" hits the PA Speakers as the Satsujin Triad walk out onto the stage together to massive boos from the live crowd. The three women smirk a bit and speak to one another before making their way to the ring with a purpose in their step.::]
Arianna Grey: The team of Malaya Diyosa, Cappadonna, and Nari Chang...The Satsujin Triad!
Monica Powers: While the Triad have competed several times in WWR already, I think this is the first time that all three women have competed together for the company at the same time.
Alexis Rose: I'm pretty sure you're right Monica, and while these women are incredibly dangerous individually...together? It could spell serious trouble for a good portion of the WWR roster!
[::The Triad enter the ring and grin across the ring at their opponents, the referee instructs each team to pick a woman to start the match before ringing the bell to start the match...::]
DING! DING! DING!
The bell rings and Nari Chang is starting this one off for the Satsujin Triad, while Sadie Cassidy starts off for the Regulators. Both teams’ muscle, so to speak, step into the ring, quickly locking up in a test of strength. Chang flexes her arms, the North Korean having a considerable size advantage over Cassidy, but Cassidy is holding her own until Chang boots her in the gut, doubling over the Whiskey Fueled Warrior. Chang launches Cassidy into her teams’ corner, tagging in the leader of the Triad Malaya Diyosa.
Diosa and Chang putting the boots to Cassidy, only stopping when the referee reaches a four count and Chang steps out through the ropes. Cassidy is seated in the Triads corner now, breathing hard as Malaya struts out of the corner, berating Jane Adler and the audience before she turns around, running toward the corner. Cassidy comes up out of nowhere throwing an extremely hard lariat, causing Malaya to drop to the ground hard. Cassidy gets to her feet, tagging in Jane Adler to a pop from the crowd before Malaya tags out as well, bringing in Cappadonna.
Adler sprints out of the corner, catching Cappadonna unaware with a big boot, dropping the Asian to the floor. She’s quick to turn around, reaching down and lifting the Empress of 36 Chambers up before dropping her back down with an INVERTED ATOMIC DROP, followed up by a SCOOP SLAM! Jane goes for a pin, but it’s immediately broken up by Nari Chang who stomps down on the back of Adler’s head, hard, and kicks the other woman off Cappadonna, dragging her teammate to the corner so Malaya Diosa can tag back in. Adler is crawling to her corner… she jumps for the hot tag! Sadie Cassidy comes in quick, ducking a lame attempt at a close line before hitting the ropes with the intent of a flying forearm, but something catches her ankles and causes her to fall down, hard, face first on the mat as the camera pans over and Nari Chang can be seen stalking her way around the ring. Cappadonna is back up in The Triads corner as the #BAEsian goes to work on Cassidy, stomping away at her opponent’s ankle with animalistic glee. Cassidy gets under the bottom rope to force separation, causing the ref to come over and split them up.
The referee is distracted on the opposite side of the ring, and Nari Chang had been lying in wait for this moment. She hits Jane Adler with a low blow from the floor, before stepping in and setting her up in a powerbomb.
Alexis Rose: Oh no! Look out!
Monica Powers: Get outta the way!
Staff scrambles in all directions as Chang turns and powerbombs Adler through the secondary announce table! The table practically explodes from the force with a loud crack as Chang steps back to admire her handiwork with a smirk. The referee, hearing the commotion, turns to come and see what happened. Malaya takes this time to strike like a viper, pulling a pair of brass knuckles from her trunks. She turns Sadie Cassidy around with a tap on the shoulder before blasting her in the jaw with the knucks! The #BAEsian tosses the weapon out of the ring, which Nari Chang is quick to scoop up immediately before Malaya tags in Cappadonna. The team immediately hits an ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP/FATAL FLYING GUILLOTINE combo finisher! Cappadonna hooks Cassidy's leg and scores the pinfall victory.
Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, the Satsujin Triad!
[::The Triad stand together raising each others hands as the crowd boos them loudly but clearly it doesn't matter to them as they go the win tonight.::]
Alexis Rose: Well you can't argue with results...
Monica Powers: We need to get some people out here to repair the commentary tables during the commercial break!
Alexis Rose: Luckily we have a talented crew to make that happen.
Monica Powers: Absolutely, it will be interesting to see who the Triad targets next?
Alexis Rose: That is probably a question that will be answered in time, but for now it's time to take a commercial break, we'll be right back everybody!
[::As Battleground returns from commercial break we see a wrestling video game. A red-haired woman, likely to be Vanessa Jones, can be seen sporadically fighting back, hitting the unnamed opponent with a variety of video game-worthy moves as the voice of the real Vanessa Jones can be heard narrating.::]
Vanessa Jones: And Vanessa lifts her opponent up… BAM! What a powerslam! She goes for a pin… Christ, how do I pin again?
[::There’s a stall on the screen, and the computer Vanessa reaches down to pull the opponent up instead.::]
Vanessa Jones: Dammit! Well, let’s try this…
[::The sounds of some buttons mashing can be heard as video game Vanessa rears back, hitting a superkick on the opponent.::]
Vanessa Jones: Oh!!
[::The video game moves forward, actually pressing across the chest of her opponent with the pin. The on-screen commentary counts for her…::]
“One! Two! Three! Pinfall!”
Vanessa Jones: Yes!
[::The screen turns over to the video game’s Vanessa celebrating in the ring.::]
Vanessa Jones: What a great feeling for tonight… Vanessa Jones, the cool Jones girl in wrestling, defeats her opponent and earns a shot at the World Championship! Yes! She has got a real career in front of her, and we’re lucky to see it unfolding!
[::The camera pans around to where she sits, holding the video game controller in her hand, providing her own commentary. As the camera spots her, she spots it in return, pausing before she laughs.::]
Vanessa Jones: Oh… hi! I was just getting some last minute prep in for tonight. It’s a big night and a big opportunity… I could get a World Title match at Belles on Parade. So I wanted to make sure I took some of the nerves off… hence the video games. And also it kind of pumped me up, you know? But I plan on being ready for tonight. I’ve got my ring gear on, as you can see, and just need to do my final stretches. Then it’s all out in the ring.
[::She laughs nervously.::]
Vanessa Jones: Crap… the nerves are coming back. Hey… do you want to be player two?
[::She reaches out a controller to the cameraman, who sets the camera down and moves over to the sofa, where only the laps and legs of him and Vanessa can be seen.::]
Vanessa Jones: You’re going down!
[::As the game starts again, the scene fades away and comes back in somewhere else backstage as the cameraman zooms in on the closed door of the Ice Queen’s locker room. Suddenly, there’s a bang against the other side of the door and the sound of… sensual moaning? The audience is certainly intrigued! Of course, the children’s ears are covered by their parents and guardians. The commentary team is taken aback by this.::]
Alexis Rose: Ummm… this might be a bad time… Cameraman, could you please--
Monica Powers: Color me intrigued! It sounds like Ms. Pryce is having a good time!
Alexis Rose: Monica! We have a younger audience!
Monica Powers: How?! You’ve seen the kinds of things that happen in Women’s Wrestling Revolution! Our programs are TV-14!
[::While Alexis and Monica argue about the TV Parental Guidelines in the US, the door swings open with a feminine hand clutching the doorknob. Chelsea Pryce has swiftly opened the door, allowing her fiancé Johnny Maverick to spill out onto the floor in the hallway. He gives his head a quick shake before he gets to his feet.::]
Johnny Maverick: Damn, Chels! That’s one way to stop a make-out session!
Chelsea Pryce: As much as I would love another round, I need to make sure I’m physically fit to wrestle…
[::Upon closer inspection, both Chelsea and Johnny are half-dressed! Chelsea’s black lingerie is quite tantalizing for the fans who love her. Johnny’s topless form is also glorious, though he is quick to put his ‘NGUNSNR’ t-shirt back on. He looks his fiancée up and down before he sighs.::]
Johnny Maverick: God, you’re such a fucking tease.
Chelsea Pryce: I know.
Lassindra V: You know, for a veteran of this business, I would think you would at least come into the hallway, I don’t know, fully dressed?
[::The Russian’s accent is a dead giveaway as she crosses her arms over her chest with a grin. She looks at Johnny, then to Chelsea.::]
Lassindra V: Don’t you have a big match to get ready for? I mean, it’s only a number one contender’s match for the WWR World Championship.
[::Letting go of the doorknob, Chelsea runs her left hand through her messy blonde hair and smirks.::]
Chelsea Pryce: I do. I was performing my warm-ups.
[::Oh, that playful wink… Johnny stares at Chelsea for a moment and grins.::]
Johnny Maverick: I was trying to help my beautiful fiancée get ready, but she tempted me with her legs for days!
[::Lassindra chuckles, shaking her head.::]
Lassindra V: If I had someone to ‘warm-up’ with like that? Let’s just say I don’t blame you one bit.
[::Lassindra looks to Chelsea with a grin.::]
Lassindra V: You know, Ice Queen…we’ve met in the ring a couple of times now, have we not? You seem to be one of the only women here outside of the Phoenix Coalition that doesn’t have some problem with me or another.
[::The Russian doesn’t even attempt to hide the fact that she gives Chelsea a once over, smirking and looking at Johnny.::]
Lassindra V: Lucky bastard.
Johnny Maverick: I know, right?!
[::A chuckle escapes Pryce before she turns to look at Lassindra. She seems to have no problem standing there in sexy lingerie in front of them and the viewers.::]
Chelsea Pryce: You’ve given me no reason to have a problem with you, Lassindra. I respect you. I respect Bobbi and the Phoenix Coalition. I respect what you’re all trying to do.
[::With a casual wave of her left hand, a cold smirk crosses her face.::]
Chelsea Pryce: Dethroning the False Queen and her Court. There’s only one true Queen in WWR… and that’s me, bitches. I’ve been the Ice Queen for ten years. Get on my level.
[::She winks in the camera’s direction before she regards Lassindra and Johnny.::]
Chelsea Pryce: Usually, I’m not a team player… But I am willing to form a temporary alliance until we’ve saved the company from them.
[::Lassindra chuckles, nodding her head.::]
Lassindra V: So what? You’re willing to work with the Phoenix Coalition until we’ve achieved our goal of crushing the Queen’s Court? Not my call, but…
[::Lassindra looks over Chelsea again with another grin.::]
Lassindra V: I definitely wouldn’t turn down working with you, if this is how you warm up before every show.
[::Lassindra chuckles, winking at the camera herself. She turns back to Chelsea and Johnny, scratching her chin.::]
Lassindra V: As far as respect goes? You’re what? An eleven-year veteran in this business? Something like that? I respect what you’ve done. Where you’ve been in this business. The fact you respect me? I’m honored, your Majesty.
[::Lassindra gives a small bow and chuckles. Johnny decides to bow with a smile, himself. Just because. It makes Chelsea smile before the young woman continues.::]
Lassindra V: The Queen’s Court seems to think that just because Bobbi has chosen mostly rookies to back her up that they have some kind of advantage. But, as far as I’m concerned? The Phoenix chose the people she did for a reason. She trusts us. She knows we have the same goals and interests.
[::Lassindra takes a step forward, face to face with Chelsea.::]
Lassindra V: Tell me, Ice Queen. Can you be trusted?
[::Raising an eyebrow, Chelsea looks at Johnny, who looks back at her with a knowing smile on his face. She looks back to Lassindra and crosses her left ankle over her right, her left foot slightly raised so the tips of her toes grace the floor.::]
Chelsea Pryce: Trust is the most fragile thing… But when someone places their trust in me, I protect it at all costs.
[::The Wrestling Revolutionary looks over at Lassindra and nods.::]
Johnny Maverick: It’s true. I trusted her with my heart and she’s taken really good care of it.
[::Lassindra simply nods, taking a step back from Chelsea. She takes the two of them in before nodding and extending her hand.::]
Lassindra V: Well. Until you give me a reason not to trust you Chelsea, the Ussuri will be there, should you need assistance.
[::There’s not a moment of hesitation as the Stiletto Knife takes hold of Bobbi’s Protégé’s hand to complete the firm handshake. The fans seem to be pleased by this new alliance as WWR Battleground takes another commercial break.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a fatal four way match and is scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit with the winner heading on to Belles of Parade to challenge for the WWR World Championship, introducing first...
[::"Video Killed the Radio Star (Queen/Freddie Mercury Style Cover)" by Postmodern Jukebox ft. Cunio" blares over the PA Speakers as Azurine Vebbins rushes the stage. Striking a happy pose for the crowd before making her way to the ring, slapping the hands of the fans along the way.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Los Angeles, California. She is Da Adorkable Angel...Azurine Vebbins!
Alexis Rose: Here comes someone who could absolutely be a World Champion here in WWR!
Monica Powers: I completely agree, although she's been on a campaign for a one on one match with another one of her opponents tonight Vanessa Jones. I think she needs to focus on the task at hand and try to secure this win, challenging for the World title should be her goal going into this match tonight.
[::Azurine gets to the ring and waves out at the crowd with a happy smile on her face before turning her attention to the ramp for the arrival of her opponents.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"Up We Go by Lights" hits the PA Speakers as Vanessa Jones walks out onto the entrance way to a great reaction as she makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. She is The Geek Princess...Vanessa Jones!
Monica Powers: The Geek Princess hasn't had the best of luck inside a WWR ring over the last few months but she impresses each and every time she's in the ring.
Alexis Rose: But at the same token? All of her losses have come in multi women matches or unfair cheating by her opponents in one on one situations. I think when she finally can face more women like Ash Walweat in straight up competition we will see Jones truly shine here in WWR, and it COULD happen tonight!
[::Vanessa gets into the ring and her and Vebbins share a fist bump with one another. It's clear the respect between these two women is very much a thing as the next member of the match begins to make their way to the ring...::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::"Human by Hell Yeah" hits the PA Speakers as Chelsea Pryce hits the entrance way and poses for the crowd. Who give her a great reaction as she makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From Detroit, Michigan. She is the Ice Queen...Chelsea Pryce!
Monica Powers: A true veteran in this sport, its been said that Pryce is looking for at least one more World title run before calling it a career. Will that World Championship happen here in WWR?
Alexis Rose: It very well could! Chelsea's ability in that ring is undeniable and she has been rather outspoken as of late on the antics of the Queen's Court. If Susan retains tonight it might be the battle of the Queen's for the World Championship at Belles on Parade!
[::The Ice Queen gets into the ring and gives both Azurine and Vanessa a respectful nod but not much else. It's clear the blonde is all business tonight when it comes to the matter at hand.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::"Fee Ra Huri by Omnia" hits the PA Speakers as the woman known as the Wild Fox walks out onto the entrance way to a nice pop as the former Battleground Champion makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in St. Paul, Minnesota. She is the Wild Fox...Ceithre Brennan!
Monica Powers: And last but certainly not least, we have the only woman in this match to hold WWR gold so far, the Wild Fox herself!
Alexis Rose: Brennan is a hell of a competitor and it's going to be really hard for anyone to deny that she belongs in the main event scene of any wrestling company she's a part of. Will she get to main event Belles on Parade? Only time will tell!
[::Ceithre gets into the ring as the referee gets all four women into their respective corners before ringing the bell to start this fatal four way.::]
DING! DING! DING!
The bell sounds as all four competitors slowly circle each other until Ceithre locks up with Azzy in a collar and elbow, both pushing each other back and forth jostling for an advantage. Vanessa does the same with Chelsea, but the veteran quickly snatches her in a headlock. Jones shoves Pryce off into the ropes, but Chelsea ducks a clothesline and stops, catching Vanessa with a quick neckbreaker. She makes a cover but Jones is out at one. Meanwhile, Brennan has Vebbins in a deep headlock, but Azzy pushes her off and as Ceithre turns around, Azzy smacks her with a forearm. Brennan checks her jaw, then returns fire, catching Azurine flush on the jaw. The standoff was now on, as the two went back and forth until they'd worn each other out. Pryce took notice of this and got behind Vebbins, snapping her over with a German suplex, but a bridge was for naught as Brennan stomped down on her to break up the pin.
The action was fierce as each woman showed why they were in this match, giving no quarter and taking none. The shots were stiff, and each of the four women battered and bruised each other, all in the name of a chance to be called World Champion. As fatigue began to set in on all four competitors, Jones found Pryce close to the ropes, and in an attempt to try and clear an opponent, she charged with a clothesline attempt. Unfortunately, Chelsea low-bridged the top rope and sent Vanessa flying to the outside. On the other side of the ring, Ceithre spiked Azzy with a belly-to-belly suplex and tried for a pinfall, getting a two before Da Adorkable Angel got a foot on the rope. Brennan slapped the mat in frustration as Vebbins rolled under the bottom rope to avoid more damage.
Pryce stalked to the middle of the ring, awaiting Brennan, who stood and turned, looking for a competitor to which to try again, but The Stiletto Knife quickly floored her with a lariat takedown, quickly flipping it into the Natural Disaster (cross-legged STF). Brennan tried to struggle free, but just as Vanessa re-entered the fray Ceithre could take no more, and she tapped out just before Jones crashed down into The Ice Queen. An exhausted Pryce rolled over and held her fists to the sky in tired celebration.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, the Ice Queen...Chelsea Pryce!
[::The referee assists and holding one of Pryce's arms up as she celebrates her hard earned victory. The Ice Queen is the new number one contender for the WWR World Championship.::]
Alexis Rose: That was a great match! Congrats to Pryce!
Monica Powers: She will face the winner of the triple threat main event match tonight at Belles on Parade!
Alexis Rose: No matter the opponent, it should be a hell of a match!
Monica Powers: Oh for sure! i'm excited!!!
Alexis Rose: So am I Monica! By the end of the night we will know our main event for Belles on Parade! We'll be right back with more Battleground!
[::WWR Battleground comes back from a commercial break and as it does we are treated to the sight of Diamond Steele walking through the backstage area. She flicks her hair as she is clad in a retro "I Wanna Be Bad Bobbilicious" t shirt. Diamond smiles as she finally reaches a locker room that reads Bobbi Jackson and she doesn't waste any time as she slowly begins to knock on the door. After a few moments the locker room door opens and you can hear the other members of the Phoenix Coalition speaking in the background as she peeks her head out the door.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Uh hey..? What's up?
[::Bobbi says a bit confused at Steele's presence and choice of t-shirt. Diamond smiles as she glances back at Bobbi just grinning as she replies back to her.::]
Diamond Steele: Hey I just wanted to stop by and wish you some luck for tonight and I also wanted to apologize for my actions for the past few months.
[::Diamond takes a long deep breath as she looks away before slowly bringing her eyes back to Bobbi.::]
Diamond Steele: I just was going through a lot with my husband. I didn't want to hurt any of my fans or my best male friend in Griffin. It's just I wanted to also support my husband, and keep our family together, but I came to the realization that I don't have to be tied to him professionally. I can live my own wrestling life and he can live his. What happens outside of these walls at home is all that matters.
[::Diamond glances at Bobbi.::]
Diamond Steele: and I am sorry for what I might have said to you and of course the way I treated the fans.
Bobbi Jackson: Yea well...I appreciate that...
[::Bobbi says kind of surprised by all of this but doesn't know how to react.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Look, it's cool. Water under the bridge. Don't worry about it, okay?
[::Diamond nods her head sighing.::]
Diamond Steele: Look I respect your abilities. I respect everything you do and tonight you are going to go out there and win. I guess I have my own reasons for being here tonight as well.
[::Diamond paces around before she glares deeply into Bobbi's eyes and continues to speak.::]
Diamond Steele: I guess what I am trying to say is I really don't have anyone in this company but I could use a friend here. Someone to bond with and I was hoping our mutual love for Griffin could maybe pull us closer.
Bobbi Jackson: Ehhhhhhh....?
[::Bobbi says with hesitation in her voice.::]
Bobbi Jackson: How about we talk after the show tonight? I kinda need to finish getting ready now.
Diamond Steele: Sounds good, and best of luck to you... I personally will keeping my eyes on Charlotte. Regardless on how she feels I do have some unfinished business with her.
[::Bobbi nods.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Fair enough, I'll see you after the show...
[::Bobbi says closing the locker room door to return to her locker room to finish getting ready. Diamond walks away with a smile on her face as the cameras goes to elsewhere showing Super Tiger and Zoe Jane sitting side by side in the locker room. Zoe, of course, is preparing for her CHAOS Title Match while Tiger helps her. Super Tiger herself has a little longer to wait, being in the main event for the WWR World Title against Christina and Susan.::]
Super Tiger: ZJ? Can I ask you a question?
[::Zoe looks up from her boots which she was lacing up.::]
Zoe Jane: Of course you can. What's up?
[::Super Tiger peels off the jacket of her track suit, laying it on the bench next to her.::]
Super Tiger: I'm incredibly nervous. More nervous than ever before. I've never faced Susan or Christina in the ring. I...
[::Tiger sighs.::]
Super Tiger: Everyone is so much bigger than I am. Even the next smallest woman on the roster. Do you really think I can win?
[::Zoe sits up straight as she takes Tiger's hands in hers, giving them a firm, supportive squeeze.::]
Zoe Jane: Absolutely I believe in you, you've already proven without a shadow of a doubt that size isn't everything. You got this far already, after all.
[::She gently caresses her girlfriend's cheek, looking into her eyes.::]
Zoe Jane: I have NO doubt that you can do this.
[::Super Tiger let's out a giggle, nuzzling her cheek into Zoe's hand.::]
Super Tiger: You always know the right things to say Zoe.
[::The luchadora looks up, her eyes shining as she smiles.::]
Super Tiger: And you'll be the CHAOS champion after you beat Charlotte up with all those weapons and things! Just... just be careful okay? I'll be right here to nurse you back to health afterwards.
[::Tiger giggles again, squeezing Zoe's hand. The slightly taller beauty smiles as she nods her head.::]
Zoe Jane: That's the plan, both of us heading home with title belts slung over our shoulders. And hey, if somehow things don't work out tonight, it ain't the end of the world. I'll still have what's most important to me.
[::She winks at Tiger, a warm smile playing across her lips. Super Tiger blushes again and giggles.::]
Super Tiger: Hai! We'll both be champions and bring more gold to the Phoenix Coalition too!
[::Super Tiger stops, tapping her chin.::]
Super Tiger: Actually ZJ. I have an idea. Interested?
[::Zoe raises an eyebrow and nods her head.::]
Zoe Jane: Of course I am.
Super Tiger: Well... say things don't pan out for us tonight.
[::Super Tiger nods to herself.::]
Super Tiger: I mean I really do believe you and I will win, but say we don't. What if...
[::Tiger grins.::]
Super Tiger: What if you and I form a tag team and go after THOSE titles?! Your strength and my speed ZJ? We'd be unbeatable!
[::Zoe giggles a bit, she hardly considers herself a powerhouse, but by contrast she IS the stronger of the two and so she flexes her bicep a bit for her girlfriend.::]
Zoe Jane: That sounds like a fantastic back-up plan.
[::Super Tiger giggles herself, poking Zoe's bicep and grinning.::]
Super Tiger: You're so buff! We have our plan, and our backup plan!
[::Tiger wraps her arms around her girlfriend, pressing her lips quickly to Zoe's.::]
Super Tiger: You're up soon ZJ! You will do great, and become a champion!
[::Zoe kisses Tiger back, tightly squeezing her close before she slips out of her embrace and stands up, a determined look on her face as she slaps her own cheeks.::]
Zoe Jane: I can DO this.
Super Tiger: Hai! ZJ will be the first ever CHAOS champion!
[::The camera backs out of the room as Super Tiger continues to cheer on her girlfriend as Battleground returns to ringside for the next match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit and it is for the WWR Battleground Championship, introducing first...
[::"Country Road by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes" blares over the PA Speakers as Maybelle Harper steps out onto the stage to a great reaction. She plays up for the crowd a bit before making her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: The challenger...From Lost Creek, West Virginia. She is Auntie...Maybelle Harper!
Alexis Rose: Here comes a friend of the former Battleground Champion in good ole Auntie Maybelle who had a great debut on Battleground only two weeks ago. Tonight she challenges for a championship!
Monica Powers: And you have to believe revenge for her Krystal is on the menu tonight. But it seems like a lot of people have that in mind for the Morrigan right now...
[::Maybelle gets in the the ring and screams something about America before pacing back and forth staring at the stage awaiting the arrival of the champion.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"Shireen by UMAI" hits the PA Speakers as the lights dim in the arena as the Morrigan walks out onto the stage with the WWR Battleground Championship slung over her shoulder. The crowd boos her loudly the images of what she did to Krystal Kirk still fresh in their minds as the mysterious woman makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From Parts Unknown. She is the WWR Battleground Champion...Morrigan!
Monica Powers: This woman seriously gives me the creeps Alexis...
Alexis Rose: She's as dangerous as she is creepy, and she holds the championship she claims has belonged to her from the very beginning. It will be interesting to see how she matches up to the much larger challenger tonight.
[::The Morrigan steps into the ring and casually hands off the title to the referee as she raises a hand and to the sky as the lights in the arena brighten up again. She grins across the ring at her opponent with evil intentions as the referee holds up the championship for all to see before calling for the bell to get this title match underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
The match begins, and before Maybelle can leave the corner, Morrigan smirks, striking Krystal Kirk’s signature title motion, pointing up to the ceiling and glancing at Harper with a smirk. Auntie Maybelle responds, flipping Morrigan the bird before moving to the center of the ring. The Morrigan throws a hard chop, but Maybelle slaps the strike away and just punches Morrigan straight in the mouth, dropping the Dark Druidess to her back.
Maybelle flexes for the crowd, the entire arena cheering loudly for the larger than life woman as Morrigan gets to her feet, a look of focused rage on her face as she comes in, hitting a barrage of follow up chops on Maybelle’s chest, forcing her back into the corner. Morrigan delivers a HARD kick to Maybelle’s stomach, causing her to double over in pain. Morrigan strikes Krystal’s trademark pose yet again before wrapping Harper up in an attempt at an exploder suplex into the corner.
Morrigan taunting the former Battleground Champion! Looking for a Krystalline Breaker! Maybelle comes to, planting her feet and blocking the suplex attempt before driving an elbow into Morrigan’s face, hard, causing the raven haired assassin to stumble back into the corner herself and Maybelle takes advantage, driving multiple kicks into Morrigan’s midsection dropping her down into a seated position.
Maybelle runs in yelling "How ya like this, ya backstabbin' witch!?", nailing Morrigan with a brutal BRONCO BUSTER! Maybelle goes to pull Morrigan out of the corner, but the Dark Druidess rolls out of the ring to the floor, clutching her chest, rage in her eyes. She reaches up under the apron, retrieving a kendo stick and sliding into the ring. Maybelle takes a step back, but the referee steps in, yelling at Morrigan to drop the weapon. Morrigan hands it over, and as soon as the referee turns to throw it out of the ring, the Dark Druidess turns to Maybelle who has stepped forward to grab her and GREEN MIST! Morrigan spews some sort of vile liquid straight into the eyes, nose, and mouth of Auntie Maybelle who stumbles back, clawing at her face. Morrigan steps forward, spinning Maybelle around. She’s got her hooked! BLACKEST MAGICKS! Maybelle slumps to the mat as Morrigan goes in for the cover, rolling her opponent up! That’s it! Morrigan retains yet again!
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and STILL WWR Battleground Champion...The Morrigan!
[::Morrigan rolls out of the ring and grabs her championship taking off immediately before the referee notices the green mist on Maybelle's face. Clearly not even wanting to give them the opportunity of trying to reverse the decision.::]
Alexis Rose: By hook or by crook, Morrigan retains her championship...
Monica Powers: Probably exactly what El Sin Rostro wanted too!
Alexis Rose: That's a good point, oh boy! That match in two weeks is gonna be NUTS!
Monica Powers: Hope El Sin Rostro is on the look out for the mist! We'll be right back with more Battleground, don't go anywhere!
[::Battleground returns from commercial break as we see Bobbi Jackson leaning against the wall outside of Katrina's locker room as she is in there with Misti giving her girlfriend one final pep talk for her tag team match with Bobbi against the Frosts that is just minutes away. As Bobbi stands there trying to be patient she hears a pair of thigh high boots clacking on the floor as she turns her attention to see Dominique Frost marching right towards the Phoenix. Bobbi immediately stands up straight because if this was about to be a fight before their match she was going to be prepared for it.::]
Dominique Frost: Heh heh, my my, aren't we the scaredy cat? Not without good reason, of course.
[::The towering blonde smirks as she stops right in front of Bobbi, her cold blue eyes staring down into the shorter woman's. Bobbi narrows her eyes and glares as she stares up at the tall leggy Frost huffing a bit.::]
Bobbi Jackson: What do you want Dominique? Our match is up next? If you're trying to take me out before we get out there I'm not going down without a fight!
[::Dominique chuckles as she mockingly pats Bobbi on the head.::]
Dominique Frost: Oh, Bobbi Bobbi Bobbi, what would be the point in doing that? I want ALL to see as I crush this pitiful little resistance of yours.
[::Bobbi growls and smacks Dominique's hand away.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Then what do you want?!
Dominique Frost: I'm here to make you am offer...
[::The tall blonde grins wickedly.::]
Dominique Frost: You stay out of the way while I annihilate Misti and you get to walk away safe and sound tonight. Try and get in the way and, well, I can then make no promises.
Bobbi Jackson: Oh wow! I mean...that's such a great deal! I don't know what to say!
[::The look on Bobbi's face and her tone shows that she's being extremely sarcastic.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Whatever did I do to deserve such a FANTASTIC offer!?
[::The Phoenix continues to be lippy with Dominique, clearly not afraid of the older Frost sister. Dominique narrows her eyes ever so slightly.::]
Dominique Frost: You reached out to my sister and, as far as I can tell, didn't even try to flood her with lies and confuse her. This gesture of mercy is all you're getting from me in return, whether you take it or leave it is no concern of mine.
Bobbi Jackson: Heh...
[::Bobbi says honestly a little bit surprised by Dominique's almost genuine tone.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Look, I only told your sister the truth. Nothing more, nothing less. If you think I'm going to leave Misti hanging out there you got another thing coming. But I will give you and your sister a gesture of mercy as well. Don't come to the ring and we'll take the count out win. You all come to the ring? It's on and I'm going to show you what this Phoenix is all about!
[::Dominique chuckles a bit as she brings her arm across and just brushes Bobbi aside as she walks past her.::]
Dominique Frost: Very well then, we will simply crush the BOTH of you to prove the futility of resistance in the face of the Court.
Bobbi Jackson: Blah blah blah, the time for talking is over Dominique, just go get your sister and we will see you both in the ring!
[::At this point Bobbi pounds on Katrina's door in a huff.::]
Bobbi Jackson: Alright Misti, lets go!
[::The Phoenix says alerting her partner that it was time to go to work as Battleground returns back to ringside for the next match.:]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit. Introducing first...
[::"The Phoenix by Fall Out Boy" plays over the PA Speakers as flame pyro shoots off from the sides of the stage as Alexa Cannon walks out first before turning around to face the stage and points as her girlfriend, the WWR Revolutionary Champion Bobbi Jackson and Misti Malandro take the stage, they pose for the crowd before making their way to the ring as the crowd goes wild...::]
Arianna Grey: Being accompanied to the ring by Alexa Cannon. Representing the Phoenix Coalition, the team of Misti Malandro and the WWR Revolutionary Champion, The Rising Phoenix...Bobbi Jackson!
Monica Powers: Two weeks ago the Phoenix Coalition formed at the end of Battleground and the Queen's Court have been feeling the pressure ever since!
Alexis Rose: It's nice to see the numbers are finally even now between Bobbi and the Court. Although if social media is to believed Jackson actually had dinner last night with one of her opponents here tonight. Wonder how THAT went...
[::Alexa gets into the ring first, followed by Bobbi and Misti as the champion raises her title up high in the air as the crowd cheers the trio of beautiful blondes on. Bobbi places the title back on her shoulder and alerts both Misti and Alexa to pay attention in case their opponents try to enter from somewhere other than the stage.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponents...
[::"Bootylicious by Destiny's Child" hits the PA Speakers as the Frost sister strut out onto the entrance stage and poses for the cameras. Eliza turns around and shakes her ass a bit seemingly taunting Bobbi a bit about her victory over her a few weeks ago as the two members of the Court make their way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: Representing the Queen's Court. The team of Dominique and Eliza, the Frost sisters!
Monica Powers: Eliza Frost, any way you want to slice it, got a pinfall win on Bobbi Jackson on Battleground several weeks ago which has seemingly lined up to be the next challenger for the Phoenix's championship at Belles on Parade.
Alexis Rose: Well it took three members of the Court hitting their finishers on the champion to put her down. It will be interesting to see if the Frost sisters can score another win against Bobbi and the Phoenix Coalition tonight. Not if Misti has anything to say about it...
[::Eliza and Dominique get into the ring as Eliza blows Bobbi a kiss which fires up Alexa as she wants to charge across the ring Bobbi calms Alexa down and reminds her about the curvy brunettes mind games and gets her out of the ring to stand at ringside before talking to Misti about who is going to start the match as the referee rings the bell to kick things off.::]
DING! DING! DING!
As the bell is rung it's Bobbi who steps out of the Coalition corner to face Dominique, but the tall blond waggles her finger, then points at Misti in a challenge. Bobbi narrows her eyes a bit, but hearing Misti ask for the tag she briefly hesitates, then reaches over to tag her in as Dominique's grin widens. Misti just bursts into a dash right past Bobbi, tackling down Dominique before the older Frost sister can react. She leans in to lay into the tall woman with punches, forcing Dominique to bring her arms up to block the blows. The Dominiqtrix pulls her long legs up, placing her the bottoms of her boots on Misti's body before just kicking her right off, sending her tumbling away, but as both women stand up Misti is right back on her, relentlessly swinging her fists at the taller woman to force her back step by step. A sudden Dropkick blasts Dominique's guard apart and sends her staggering backward right into Eliza's extended tag, the younger Frost sister tagging herself in.
Misti's sights are still set on Dominique though as she rushes in at her, only to get caught as Dominique ducks in and grabs her, lifting her off her feet, then slamming her crotch first onto a knee while Eliza slips in the ring. As Misti cries out in pain Dominique shoves her away right into Eliza, who grabs her from behind and lifts her up, then slams her down on HER knee in an Atomic Drop. Misti grimaces from the back to back impact before she gets blasted in the face by Dominique's boot and sent down before the tall blond finally steps out onto the apron.
Bobbi glares across the ring at the Frosts as Eliza grabs Misti by the hair and yanks on it to bash the back of the blond's head against the ring's canvas over and over even as the referee tells her to let go, waiting for a four-count before raising her hands and standing up. Misti rolls onto her hands and knees, shaking her head to clear it up as she grabs the ropes and goes to stand up, only for a smirking Eliza to rush at her and jump, driving her great big plump ass into Misti's back and knock her back down. Both Frosts smirk pleasedly as they tag again and Dominique steps into the ring.
The wicked sisters tag back and forth as they refuse to let Misti escape their grasp, every time she seems to be about to slip out and tag Bobbi in the illegal Frost rushing in to stop her. As Misti desperately reaches out an arm for her partner Dominique grabs her ankles and drags her back toward the center of the ring, then steps between the worn-down blond's legs, crossing them and tangling them up with hers in a Deathlock. She reaches down and gives Misti's back a loudly smacking swat with an open hand, as Misti grimaces in pain Dominique snatches hold of her wrists and pulls back on them, lifting the Mystical one's body off the canvas before raising a foot to step it on the back of her head and just stomp her face into the canvas. Dominique chuckles as she untangles their legs, then sits astride Misti's back, pulling her arms over her knees and cupping her chin in her hands in a Camel Clutch, all the while smirkingly looking at the frustrated Bobbi.
Misti grits her teeth though, her whole body trembling as she slowly pulls her knees under her, then in an impressive show of strength stands up, lifting Dominique on her back before falling backward on top of her to slam the tall blond down. Misti rolls off her opponent and drags herself toward her team's corner, at last reaching out to touch Bobbi's hand and tag her in. Bobbi pats Misti's shoulder as she steps in before rushing toward Dominique as the tall blond is standing up and the Phoenix just throws herself at her, pouncing on Dominique in a Lou Thesz Press to knock her down before unleashing her frustration in a barrage of blows that rain down on the wicked woman.
At the referee's demand Bobbi stands up, but isn't about to let Dominique get away from her, dragging the tall woman up by her hair and tucking the older Frost's head under her arm as she rushes forward and tosses her legs up, driving Dominique's face down into the canvas with a Bulldog. Bobbi hops up and gestures for Dominique to rise, waiting for her to get on her hands and knees and go to stand before jumping at her and just driving her back down face first by dropping a leg across the back of her neck in a Fameasser. The crowd cheers as the Phoenix is leading the Coalition's offensive against the Court.
Bobbi reaches down to grab Dominique's head again, dragging her up as she stuffs the tall blond's head between her thighs and goes to hook her arms for the Phoenix Landing, but Dominique isn't about to let that happen, shoving Bobbi backward to slip free from her. Bobbi huffs and rushes in after the backpedaling blond, but Dominique manages to sidestep the oncoming Phoenix, giving her a shove to send her stumbling right into Eliza, who grabs Bobbi's head and drops backward to drive the Phoenix's face into the second turnbuckle with a Reverse STO. Stunned, Bobbi staggers backward, shaking her head, only to get booted right in the back of her head and sent down face first.
Eliza gets tagged in and while Dominique steps out onto the apron she pulls Bobbi up and slips her head under Bobbi's arm, grabbing her legs as she hoists her off her feet, then drops backward at the ropes, Dominique reaching up to snatch hold of Bobbi's head and yank down on it as the Frosts drive the Phoenix's throat into the top rope with a Dudley Death Drop like move, Bobbi grasping her throat and coughing as she ricochets off the rope and falls over. Eyes wide as she gasps for breath, Bobbi crawls toward her Coalition's corner, arm reaching toward Misti, who's likewise reaching out to her, but before they can touch Misti's ankles are grabbed and her feet yanked out from under her by a wickedly grinning Dominique, Misti's face bouncing off the apron as she falls onto it.
Dominique dusts her hands off as she walks back around to her team's corner while Eliza drags Bobbi away from hers, pulling her along by her ankles, then steps up next to the prone blond, turning her back to her and swinging her arms up behind her before flinging herself into a backward flip while tucking her knees in to land on Bobbi's back with them crashing down on her first in her Snow Storm double Kneedrop. Bobbi cries out in pain and Dominique nods approvingly as she climbs up onto the apron. Eliza drags Bobbi by her hair now as she seats the Phoenix in the corner, then smirks as she backs up and turns around, wiggling her shapely hips. Bobbi shakes her head as her eyes widen and she realizes what's coming too late to do anything about it as Eliza backs on up and stuffs her round butt right in the Phoenix's face. She bends over and roughly rubs her ass in while Bobbi's feet kick about, her shriek muffled by the younger Frost's great big butt.
Misti has had plenty enough though as she drags herself into the ring and glares across the ring as she takes a three-point stance, her sights set on her target. Dominique, too focused on enjoying Bobbi's humiliation, tags herself in and only as she's stepping in through the ropes does she see Misti coming, much too late to warn Eliza who's stepping away from Bobbi to give her sister room and gets just blasted with a Shoulder Tackle that flings her backward and sends her tumbling out through the ropes. Still going full-steam, Misti rushes at Dominique and smashes her down with Clothesline after Clothesline each time the tall blond stands up. She finally scales the turnbuckles onto the second rope, gesturing for Dominique to stand again before clasping her hands and swinging them over her head as she jumps at the tall beauty, but before she can brind the Double Axehandle down on her Dominique suddenly swings her leg up, just Big Booting Misti out of the air.
As Dominique staggers backward from the recoil of her own kick, she feels an arm reach through her legs and suddenly she's yanked back and down, rolled up in a Schoolgirl, but rather than going for a pin Bobbi stands and steps a leg through Dominique's, crossing the tall woman's long legs over hers. The crowd cheers excitedly as though Dominique tries to struggle she gets twisted over onto her belly and right into the Trial By Fire, Bobbi's signature take on a Sharpshooter. Dominique cries out in pain and claws at the canvas, trying to drag herself toward the ropes, but Bobbi sits low on the hold and leans back, putting brutal pressure on the older Frost's legs and back 'till she can't take it any more and rapidly slams her hand against the canvas to tap out.
Arianna Grey: Here are your winners, Misti Malandro and Bobbi Jackson...The Phoenix Coalition!
[::The second Bobbi lets go of the hold and steps forward she walks right into an incoming Eliza. The two have a brief stare down and exchange words that the camera can't pick up before Bobbi and Misti leave the ring letting Eliza check on her older sister..::]
Monica Powers: Big win for the Coalition there, I'm sure Susan is less than pleased.
Alexis Rose: Susan kinda brought this on her group, not leaving Bobbi alone. Forming a group of her own to combat the Court was the right move!
Monica Powers: With the older Frost sister tapping out will this be Eliza's fate at Belles on Parade?
Alexis Rose: If you're asking Bobbi? I'm sure the answer is absolutely! But we'll see what Eliza has to say about that soon enough. We'll be right back everyone!
[::The scene opens in the boiler room of all placed. As you would expect, Charlotte Haliday alone. She is sitting on a black steel folding chair wearing a black skully that says “Kill Me” on it. Already donning her ring gear, she motions camera to zoom in. With her close up; Charlotte begins to speak.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Do I believe Bobbi when she says she formed The Phoenix Coalition to battle The Queens Court? Yes, I do; Bobbi is a good person, have no reason not to believe her. Do I believe Zoe when she followed up about the Coalition not forming to stockpile championships? I believe she believes that, we can split hairs until we are blue in the face. The old saying goes; the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The Phoenix Coalition’s noble cause does not change what could possibly happen by the end of the night. Fact, Super Tiger is challenging for the World Championship. Down with Team Phoenix. Susan is the queen bee of the Queen’s Court. There’s the other girl in that match, does anyone really believe Christina will walk out champion?
[::Charlotte rolls her eyes.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Come on now. One way or another; The Court or the Coalition will walk away with the World Title. That brings me to my match with Zoe; she is associated with Team Phoenix. Imagine a world where Team Phoenix holds the Revolutionary, the World and the Chaos Championships to close WWR Bow Down. Tell me that scenario does not equal a monopoly over most of the championships in this company? I can’t do anything about the World Title, no plans of getting involved in Bobbi and Eliza’s chemical romance. I can only focus on what I can do. Later I have the power to prevent one of the WWR branded championships from finding its way into Team Phoenix’s hands...
[::Charlotte pauses to catch her breath.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Zoe, I’m gonna correct you on one thing. I wasn’t being paranoid about the possible interferences; I was being reasonable. We both have enemies. Diamond is obsessed with me. Envy is obsessed with you. The Court wants your head. Someone will point out, it is the Chaos Championship, what did I expect? Under normal circumstances I would tell those people they are right, this is a division built on chaos, anything can happen. You are looking at a girl who was screwed out of the Battleground Championship for no good reason. The excuse all those broads tell me, Charlotte, you ran your mouth, what did you expect?
I expected a fair opportunity to become champion, not have an entire girls club screw me over cuz of hurt feelings. People may point out, you should welcome Zoe’s litany of enemies. Remember. Chaos. Unpredictable. There is a chance that whoever may have come out to attack Zoe screws me over accidentally. You would have had a pissed off Charlotte on your hands, don’t care what numbers advantage anyone has, you don’t want me pissed the F-off. Thanks to the stipulation of our match, there is an unlikely chance any of our numerous enemies will get inside the cage. I am not putting my complete faith in the cage, this is wrestling, we’ve seen it all before.
[::Charlotte chuckles at the prospect of the steel cage serving its designed purpose.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Steel cage matches have become a joke in that respect; people find ways to get involved anyway. No paranoia here, Zoe. I’m just used to getting screwed over, two weeks ago, it was nice for a change to have a fair match. I’m hoping, barring the selfish intentions of others we have a chance to settle things, like women. Here is what you can expect. I’m not obsessed with putting you down. If it happens, it happens. The only thing I care about is becoming champion. I may mangle your face if the chance arises. I won’t back off my statement at the top of this address, I will be damned if the Queen’s Court, Team Phoenix war sucks all the championship in this company into the matrix. I can’t allow that. Think what you want about me, I love pro wrestling. I was taught by some honorable trainers, they won’t necessarily approve of my gift for gab, a collection of friends banding together to monopolize the championships, not good for wrestling. I don’t expect the women in the back to thank me for what I am about to do. They should. They should all bow down... plug intended.
[::Charlotte winks.::]
Charlotte Haliday: Coalition. Court. Destroy each other for all I care. I intend to take the Chaos Championship with me. Best laid plans...
[::Charlotte half smirks as the scene fades to back to ringside for the Chaos title match.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is a Steel Cage match scheduled for one fall with no time limit, and it is for the WWR Chaos Championship! Introducing first...
[::"I Stand Alone by Godsmack" blares over the PA Speakers as Charlotte Haliday walks out onto the entrance stage to a chorus of boos. She grins smugly and pays the fans no mind as she confidently makes her way toward the ring that now has a Steel cage on it with a roof. Weapons hanging from above.::]
Arianna Grey: Currently residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. She is...Charlotte Haliday!
Alexis Rose: Her entrance theme, extremely fitting...
Monica Powers: You can say that again, I mean she got to this point by turning on someone who tried to help her in a tag team match and then brutalized her in a hardcore match two weeks later. This woman clearly cares about no one other than herself.
[::Charlotte walks into the open door of the cage and surveys her surroundings. Checking out all the weapons hanging from the roof and the walls of the cage as she waits the arrival of Zoe Jane.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"Roar by Katy Perry" hits the PA Speakers as Zoe Jane hits the stage to a great reaction. She smiles and strikes a pose for the crowd before making her way to toward the steel structure..::]
Arianna Grey: From Baltimore, Maryland. Representing the Phoenix Coalition, she is...Zoe Jane!
Monica Powers: And here comes the former Battleground Champion!
Alexis Rose: Zoe and her girlfriend Super Tiger both have big back to back title matches here tonight, if they both win they could leave Battleground tonight as a golden couple!
[::Zoe enters the cage as well as the referee on the outside locks the door behind her standing guard at it as they have all been given strict orders from Abigail not to allow anyone get involved tonight. Zoe and Charlotte stare each other down in the cage before the referee inside rings the bell to start the title match to crown the first ever WWR Chaos Champion..::]
DING! DING! DING!
The bell rings, and Charlotte immediately turns around, grabbing a kendo stick off the wall of the cage and turning into a running forearm from Zoe. The blow rattles Charlotte, causing her to drop the Kendo stick as Zoe begins her attack in the corner, throwing rapid fire elbow strikes into her opponent. Charlotte finally gets her wherewithal, throwing up her arms and blocking an elbow strike, slapping Jane’s arm down and rolling out of the corner. She grapples Zoe, rolling through and hooking her in a tiger suplex, dropping Zoe down on her head into a quick cover.
Zoe kicks out at one, rolling away and leaping to her feet. Charlotte comes back in, just like the pitbull she’s known to be, tenacious as all get out. She overextends due to her zeal, and Zoe rolls through this time, rolling Charlotte into a front grapple and immediately putting her down with a Northern Lights Suplex. Zoe bridges, holding her in a pin, but Charlotte kicks out at one herself.
Both competitors are on their feet now, felling one another out. Charlotte grabs up the kendo stick as Zoe pulls a chair off the wall. The next few swings from either opponent are dodged by the other woman before Charlotte feints a swing with the kendo stick, causing Zoe to swing and whiff with the chair in her hands. Haliday brings the kendo stick down, hard, across the back of Jane’s arms, causing the Asian to scream out in pain as she drops the chair. Charlotte begins her attack now, laying into Zoe with the kendo stick, each sharp whap! accentuated by sharp cries of pain from her opponent. She brings the kendo stick down, aimed for Zoe’s head, but the Asian rolls out of the way, gripping her arms, welts beginning to rise ocross her arms, chest, and back. She runs, hitting the ropes, and leaps at Charlotte, throwing Haliday off guard as Jane wraps her legs around Charlotte’s head, nailing her with a hurricanrana, a la her girlfriend, Super Tiger! Charlotte hits the mat, hard, dropping the kendo stick with a grunt.
Zoe picks up a chair, turning and swinging right as Charlotte gets to her feet, the steel cracking loudly against Charlotte’s back, Haliday screaming out in pain and dropping right back down to her knees. Zoe discards the chair, hitting her kneeling opponent with an enzuigiri, flooring Haliday. Zoe moves in, lifting her downed opponent and putting her back down, hard, with a Michinoku Driver! Zoe wraps her up, but Charlotte kicks out at two, purely on instinct. Zoe slaps the mat, frustration starting to build as she pulls Charlotte back to her feet, hooking her for a second Michinoku Driver. She’s got her up! No! Haliday slips free, landing behind Zoe Jane and wrapping her arms around the Asians waist into a lightning fast snap German Suplex! There’s a loud thud as Zane hits the mat, but Charlotte is so out of it that she can’t capitalize by bridging into the pin.
Both women are down but beginning to stir. They begin to rise at the same time, swaying as they do. Both women are panting hard, Zoe clutching her arms, Charlotte wincing at the pain in her back. Zoe comes in, throwing a hard kick at Charlotte’s head, but Haliday has it scouted, ducking and throwing her own kick, straight into the exposed crotch of Jane. Zoe cries out, shrieking in pain as she hits the mat, hard. Charlotte grabs up the chair Zoe used earlier in one hand, pulling Jane to her feet with the other. She throws Zoe into the ropes and with a sickening crack, she slams the chair over Jane’s head, the Asian crumpling from the strike. Charlotte moves in, lifting Zoe to her feet before nailing her with EARLY HALIDAY! She rolls Zoe up! And gets the three count! This one is over!
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner and NEW WWR Chaos Champion, Charlotte Haliday!
[::Charlotte sits up after the bell rings and you can tell by the look on her face that she's been through a war. The referee on the outside unlocks the cage and hands the referee on the inside the Chaos Championship as they present it to Haliday. The woman just sits there staring at the Championship in her hands sitting next to her fallen opponent in Zoe Jane.::]
Alexis Rose: That was a hell of a match, congratulations to the new champion!
Monica Powers: Did she really need to kick Zoe low like that though...?
Alexis Rose: Hey, this is the Chaos division after all. There are no rules. That shot was just as legal as a hip toss or a wrist lock. That's the kind of stuff you're gonna have to expect from this division.
Monica Powers: That's a fair point...
Alexis Rose: Of course it is, I made it! All kidding aside. That match was incredible. Congratulations to both of those ladies for a fantastic match and major props to Charlotte Haliday, our first ever WWR Chaos Champion! We'll be right back with our main event after this quick commercial break!
[::Battleground returns from its final commercial break of the evening as Katrina Showtime stands backstage with the WWR World Champion Susan Rigger. With her trusty microphone in hand Katrina begins to speak.::]
Katrina Showtime: Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time. The WWR World Champion, the Suplex Queen...Susan RIgger. How are you feeling going into your title defense in just a matter of moments?
[::In her usual style Susan isn't satisfied with how Katrina's offering her the mic, so she grabs the interviewer's hand to pull the mic closer to her mouth.::]
Susan Rigger: I'm feeling like I am annoyed, Katrina. The Court was set to send a clear message tonight that getting in our way is the height of foolishness but unfortunately it's down to me to make sure the evening ends on the right note for us.
[::Katrina fidgets a bit uncomfortable before pulling the microphone slowly back to herself.::]
Katrina Showtime: Are you at all worried that you could lose your championship tonight without being pinned or submitted...?
[::Susan grimaces a bit at the very thought of it, her lips curling into a snarl.::]
Susan Rigger: That's always a risk in a triple threat, so I'm going to need to keep my eyes wide open to make sure that doesn't happen.
[::She grabs the belt slung over her shoulder to show it to the camera.::]
Susan Rigger: This title is STAYING with me, with the Court, I promise you that!
Katrina Showtime: If you get past tonight's match you will go on to Belles on Parade to face...
[::Before the brunette interviewer can finish, Susan cuts her off.::]
Susan Rigger: WHEN I win tonight I will go on to win AGAIN and AGAIN!
[::She huffingly snatches the mic from Katrina's hand.::]
Susan Rigger: I AM the Suplex Queen and I will rule over WWR for a very, VERY long time to come and there's NOBODY that can do a thing about that!
[::Susan shoves the microphone back in Katrina's chest, the interviewer catching it before it can fall as the champion storms off as the cameras return to ringside for the main event of the evening.::]
Arianna Grey: The following contest is your main event of the evening, for the WWR World Championship! It is a triple threat match with a sixty-minute time limit, introducing first...
[::"Mega Man 3 Hip Hop Theme Instrumental" blares over the PA Speakers as Christina Zdunich makes her way onto the stage and looks out into the crowd of the arena. A new found confidence can be seen in the former multi-time World Champion as she makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From Detroit, Michigan. She is the Blossoming Rose...Christina Zdunich!
Alexis Rose: Here comes the woman formally known as Crystal Hilton, who seems to be on a resurgence of sorts for her career in 2020 and it's led her to this moment, a shot at the WWR World Championship!
Monica Powers: She's a veteran Alexis. She's been in this situation before, she's squared off with Susan before, she has a chance to pull off an incredible moment tonight!
[::Christina gets into the ring and takes in the moment with a deep breath, turning to the stage awaiting her opponents.::]
Arianna Grey: And her opponent...
[::"Haikyuu Fly High Opening 4 by AmaLee" hits the PA Speakers as Super Tiger rushes out onto the stage a bundle of excitement. Energy coursing through her veins as the crowd cheers her on as she runs down the aisle to make her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. Representing the Phoenix Coalition, she is...Super Tiger!
Monica Powers: Super Tiger is ready to show the world she is capable of being a World Champion!
Alexis Rose: Anyone who doubts the in ring ability of Super Tiger hasn't followed this young ladies career. And if anyone dares to take her lightly tonight we could absolutely be looking at the new WWR World Champion!
[::Super Tiger hops into the ring and poses for the crowd before looking over at Christina. She nods at her in a show of respect but in a way to tell her that she's not here to play nice tonight. Before the two of them can share words, the champions music starts to play.::]
Arianna Grey: And their opponent...
[::"Bite The Dust by The Pussy Cat Dolls" hits the PA Speakers as the WWR World Champion struts her way out onto the stage, the World Championship slung over her shoulder as she poses with a sly grin. The crowd boos the Suplex Queen as she makes her way to the ring.::]
Arianna Grey: From London, England. Representing the Queen's Court. She is the WWR World Champion, the Suplex Queen...Susan Rigger!
Monica Powers: She certainly seems full of herself, look at the way she walks to the ring! She really respects no one but herself and the Court...
Alexis Rose: You don't get it do you? Susan is the ultimate chess player. The woman knows how to play mind games and get into her opponents heads. Whether they realize it or not, Susan respects every woman she steps into the ring with. She wouldn't be a World Champion if she didn't.
[::Susan steps into the ring and holds the World Championship up high for her opponents to see before handing it off to the referee.She does some quick stretches as they raise the championship up with both hands to show the crowd that the title is in fact on the line and then wastes no time ringing the bell to get the main event underway.::]
DING! DING! DING!
As the bell is rung Super Tiger immediately explodes into a dash right toward the champion, diving into a feet first slide through her legs before Susan can grab her and popping up behind her to grab a hold around her waist. Susan quickly hooks a leg around Tiger's to block her attempts to lift the busty Britt and as the two are tangled up Crystal looks to get the advantage by sneaking behind Tiger and wrapping her arms around her. Susan smirks as she breaks Tiger's grip and in a swooping motion slips around both opponents, grabs hold around Crystal's waist and in an explosive motion yanks them both off their feet, then topples backward to slam them down in a double stack German Suplex.
Susan kips up to her feet and lets out a dominant roar, pure adrenaline pumping through her veins, but she's a bit quick to celebrate as Crystal shakes off the suplex faster than she expected, grabbing Susan's shoulders from behind and jumping up to wrap her legs around Susan's head, then swing around and toss her body backward to take the Suplex Queen down with a Mysteriorana. Susan however manages to plant her feet, grabbing hold of Crystal as she swings her back up, then grabs the back of her head with both hands, setting her up for her finishing Phoenix-Plex, the devastating Neo Rigger Plex. Before she can drive the latina down though Super Tiger recovers as well and lunges in, Dropkicking the back of Susan's knee to send her falling backward, Crystal's weight landing on her fortunately well cushioned chest.
The Blossoming Rose wastes no time taking advantage of the position she finds herself in, stepping a foot onto Susan's chest as she stands, then kicks herself into a backwards flip to crash down across the busty beauty's belly in a standing Moonsault, popping right to her feet afterward. Before Christina can turn she feels a pair of hands on her shoulders in turn, Super Tiger actually leapfrogs right over her, tucking into a roll to slam back first on Susan's midsection. The champion groans, curling up from the back to back impacts on her gut.
Crystal hops over Susan to get at Super Tiger, who catches her coming in, taking her down with an Armdrag, then stepping around the caught arm to catch it between her legs and rolling over Crystal to catch her with a La Magistral Cradle. Christina kicks out on the count of two and the two lucha practicioners go into an exchange of takedowns and quick pinning combinations, going back and forth with neither able to keep the other down for three.
This goes on until suddenly as she's jumping to her feet Crystal gets blasted in the face by a pair of feet and she's knocked down by the Dropkick from Susan. The Suplex Queen goes to grab Super Tiger as the smallest of the three women is down on one knee, but before she can get hold of her the diminutive woman launches herself into a backward flip, her leg coming up and over in a Pelee Kick to bring her foot smacking down on the crown of Susan's skull in a stunning blow that sends the busty beauty down to a knee. Super Tiger pumps her fists with excitement as she grabs Susan's arm, tossing it over her shoulder, then glancing back to adjust their position she presses her body against Susan's, thrusting her hips up under the buxom brunette's to launch her overhead with an Exploder Suplex and send her crashing down on top of Christina.
Tiger steps a foot atop her piled up opponents, then throws herself into another backward flip, smashing down on her foes in another, beautifully high arching Standing Moonsault, showing Crystal how it's done. She jumps to her feet and points at the nearest corner of the ring, the crowd cheering excitedly as Tiger ascends the ropes, but just as she reaches the top Christina manages to drag herself out from under Susan and lunges toward the corner, running right up the turnbuckles to wrap her legs around Tiger's head and bring her crashing down onto the canvas with a Hurricanrana right off the top rope.
Crystal jumps to her feet, signaling for her amazing Mega Buster Senton as she grabs the ropes on either side of the turnbuckle, then just jumps up onto the top rope, turning around to face the ring, but as she does she sees Susan getting up to a knee. Changing gear, she instead flings herself through the air at the champion rather than the downed Tiger, but as she's coming down on her Susan suddenly lunges in and swings her arm up, smashing her forearm across Crystal's chin in a European Uppercut that smashes her right out of the air. Susan drags a thumb across her throat as she grabs Crystal by the hair and hauls her to her feet, then hooks a leg and slides her head under Crystal's arm, setting her up for a classic Rigger Plex.
Before she can go for it though Super Tiger rushes in and blasts her with a Dropkick that sends both her opponents stumbling backward and falling right onto the second rope as they try to catch themselves. Seeing her opening, Tiger dashes across the ring and hits the ropes, coming back even faster than she went and grabbing the top and second rope as she swings her legs out through them and using their elasticity swings back in, driving her knees into Crystal's face and her shins into Susan's to blast both women off the ropes.
She glances out into the excitedly cheering crowd as she grabs the top rope with both hands, then leans back, pulling the rope taunt and flinging herself up onto it to spring off, soaring through the air as she flips backward in a Shooting Star Press, but as she's coming down on Crystal the latina's eyes suddenly snap open and she swings her legs up, Tiger's eyes going wide right before she crashes into the bottoms of Christina's boots face first. The stunned Tiger staggers backward and tumbles out right through the ropes.
Crystal stands up and seeing Susan on her way to her feet she measures the champion up, visualizing the impact as she pivots on her foot and her leg lashes out in a roundhouse kick, the Flashing Lights aimed right at Susan's temple, but Susan sees the kick coming a blink of an eye early and manages to duck under it, the Blossoming Rose's leg slicing through the air but nothing else. Left off balance, Crystal has no escape from Susan's clutches as the Suplex Queen grabs her leg before she can set it back down, then slips her head under Crystal's arm and clasps her hands, the latina's head and leg caught in her grasp as she tightly arches her back to drive Crystal on the back of her head in a Rigger Plex, maintaining the picture perfect bridge as the referee counts the pin. Super Tiger tries to drag herself into the ring to break it up, but before she can the referee counts three and calls for the bell.
Arianna Grey: Here is your winner, and STILL WWR World Champion...The Suplex Queen, Susan Rigger!
[::Susan stands up and immediately demands her championship, as the referee hands it to her she takes it with one hand and grabs Christina's hair with the other dragging on her on her hands and knees to essentially "bow down" before her as she laughs down at Zdunich placing a boot on the back of her head..::]
Alexis Rose: Oh come on this is uncalled for!
Monica Powers: Well the show IS called Bow Down after all...
[::Susan isn't paying attention however as Super Tiger ascends the turnbuckles and dropkicks her in the back sending the champion stumbling. She goes to check on Christina because of Super Tiger's caring nature. Susan looks to rebound and attack but before she can "Human by Hell Yeah" hit the PA Speakers as Chelsea Pryce stands on the stage as Susan stares her down, a sneer on her face.::]
Alexis Rose: The Suplex Queen and the Ice Queen at Belles on Parade for the WWR World Championship!
Monica Powers: A battle of the Queens! This oughta be epic!
Alexis Rose: Unfortunately we are out of time, we'll see you all next time for another edition of WWR Battleground!
