*** Stardom Tag Team Classic - Semi-Finals ***
GZWA Tag Team Champions The MisFits ("Queen of Submission" Casey Cortez & "Tattooed Beauty" Laura Jackson)
vs.
The Mega Busters (Matthew Miles & Psycho Sagus)
The Enforcers attack the MisFits on the way to the ring. Casey and Laura fight them all the way down the entrance ramp. G-Money Briggs ducks an incoming Clothesline from Hell from Casey and smashes her head over the guardrail in front of the fans on the front row. With the Queen of Submission stunned, G-Money throws her into the adjacent barricade with a Running Release Powerbomb. Laura tried to come to Casey’s aid but a Double Axe Handle from behind causes her to double over and into another pending Running Release Powerbomb to allow the Tattooed Beauty to join the Queen of Submission. Dequan Wallace charges towards G-Money, who whips him into the MisFits leaning against the barricade at full speed. Dequan collides into the MisFits with the Bullet (Da Pounce) like a battering ram, sending both women through the ringside barricade. The Enforcers roll the battered bodies of the MisFits into the ring at the mercy of the Mega Busters.
This could have been the upset victory of their entire GZWA careers but the Mega Busters refuse to win like this. The Enforcers argue their stupidity but the Mega Busters knock them off of the ring apron with a Double Dropkick. With the Enforcers floored, the Mega Busters dive out of the ring with two simultaneous Tope Suicidas into the waking Enforcers. They return back to the ring and help the MisFits back to their feet in a gentleman-like manner. The MisFits are reluctant to accept the gesture, but they eventually accept as the Mega Busters have earned their respect in not taking the easy way out to advance to the finals of this tournament.
The match begins anew with the Mega Busters’ Psycho Sagus and the MisFits’ Laura Jackson starting off for their respective teams. Sagus opens with a Spinning Wheel Kick. The Tattooed Beauty is quick to respond with an Inverted Backbreaker and tags out to Casey who follows up with a Gutwrench Powerbomb. Casey makes the cover, but Matthew Miles breaks the pin with a Senton Splash over Casey’s spine. Laura held Matthew Miles with a Sleeper Hold as she stood on the ropes as the waking Casey charged in for the kill. Miles slips out of the hold, causing Casey to inadvertently to knock the Tattooed Beauty to the floor with a Running Shoulder Block. Before Casey had a chance to curse herself for the mistake, Psycho Sagus connects with a Jumping Double Knee Backbreaker to the Queen of Submission to drop her to the mat. The Mega Busters don’t stop there as Psycho Sagus hits a Diving Double Foot Stomp. Sagus tags out to Miles who follows up with a 450 Splash and makes the cover. Casey powers out, throwing Miles back into his team’s corner. Miles makes the tag to Sagus who climbs up to the top rope one more. The Tattooed Beauty shoves him off and into the waking Casey’s arms. The Queen of Submission traps Psycho Sagus into the Agony Matrix (Butterfly Lock). Miles readies himself to launch himself back into the ring to make the save but the Tattooed Beauty knocks him off the ring apron with a well-placed Super Kick. With nowhere to go and no one to save him, Sagus had no choice but to submit to the hold, allowing the MisFits to advance to the finals of this tournament.
Blake Harper & "Johnny Wrestling" Johnny Gargano
vs.
Team Bella ("Fearless" Nikki Bella & "Foxy" Alicia Fox)
Blake Harper and Nikki Bella start off for their opposing teams. Blake swept Nikki off her feet with a Double Leg Takedown. Nikki fights her off with a Double Axe Handle over her spine. She goes for a Powerbomb but Blake counters with a Hurracanrana. Nikki sprung back up with a Haymaker but Blake saw it coming and responded with a Cross Armbreaker. Nikki surprises Blake with her strength by resisting the hold long enough to will herself back to her feet with Blake Harper in tow and drops her back to the mat with a Sitout Powerbomb into a pin. Blake is forced to release the hold upon impact and manages to kick out after the 2 count. Nikki doesn’t stop there as she rolls Blake over and into a Boston Crab but Blake kicks her into the ropes to prevent that from happening. She plants Nikki to the mat on the rebound with a Float-Over DDT, leaving both women weary on the mat.
Blake makes a hot tag to Gargano, who enters the ring with Slingshot Spear to Nikki upon arrival. Somehow she manages to kick out after the 2 count. Gargano picks Nikki off the mat and positions her onto his shoulders. He charges the corner with the intent of Lawn Dart (Running Throwing Snake Eyes) to Nikki Bella, but she escapes with a Backslide and Dropkicks him in the spine right into the corner post. The Fearless Vixen then rolls him up into a School Boy. Gargano kicks out barely before the count of 3. Nikki tags out to Foxy who enters with a Scissor Kick. Gargano backs away, causing Foxy to miss her mark as she walks into a pending Spinning Back Fist from Blake on the ring apron. That was enough to knock Foxy loopy long enough for Gargano to capitalize with the Hurts Donut (Full Nelson lifted and dropped into Reverse STO). Before Nikki could even respond, Blake raced across the ring and dove through the ropes with a Spear that knocked both Vixens down to ringside while Gargano secured the victory via pinfall. The team of Gargano and Harper advance to the finals of this tournament.
"The Icon" Sting & "Straight-Edge Juggalo" Ryan Kendrick
vs.
GZWA World Heavyweight Champion "Hardcore Monster" Carnage & "The Statement" Victor Phillips
Match starts off with all four members of both teams in-ring at the same time. Sting and Kendrick send the Statement over the top rope with a Double Hip Toss and duck the incoming Double Lariat from the Hardcore Monster. They nail him with a Double Dropkick to send Carnage reeling into the ropes and stand ready to whip Carnage out of the ring to join Victor. Carnage held his ground and send both Sting and Kendrick out of the ring instead with a powerful Irish whip. Carnage surprises the GZWA Nation by clearing the top rope with a Suicide Dive into all three men standing at ringside.
The Machine back in control by tossing Sting back into the ring to properly start this match with a pin. The Stinger kicks out after the 2 count from the Statement pin attempt. Victor stays in control by stomping Sting’s legs repeatedly before applying the Final Statement (Texas Cloverleaf). Kendrick races in to intervene but Carnage intercepts him with a Black Hole Slam. Kendrick uses the momentum of the maneuver to enzuigiri Victor while in motion to break the hold AND drop Carnage to the mat with a thunderous Tornado DDT. Kendrick helps Sting to his feet as they turn the tables with a double Scorpion Deathlock to the Statement. The Statement is mere moments away from being ready to submit until Carnage broke the hold with a Double Chokeslam to both Superstars. Victor tags out to Carnage who drags picks up both Sting and Kendrick with a Double Stalling Brainbuster. Both Kendrick and Sting knee the Hardcore Monster into the face simultaneously and fall back to the canvas with an explosive Double Scorpion Death Drop to the Hardcore Monster.
Sting makes the cover on Carnage. Victor races in for the save but he’s blinded by a spray of Red Mist from the Straight-Edge Juggalo. Carnage kicks out of the near-fall barely before the 3 count. Sting tags out to Kendrick who charges straight at Carnage with a High-Impact Spear but Carnage stops him in his tracks with an Inverted Atomic Drop. Carnage follows up with a Buckle Bomb into the corner that knocks Sting off the ring apron and to the floor. With Kendrick disoriented, Carnage finishes him off with the Burning Hammer for the win, placing the Machine’s own in the finals.
*** Intermission ***
Backstage, Mariah is joined by an unexpected visitor - none other than her sister Amber Torres.
Amber Torres: What the hell were you thinking signing that contract? That's a risk I'm not willing to see you take. Pride aside why would you Mari?
Amber crosses her arms in disbelief of her sisters actions. Amber's solution to the problem would be one of running up on Gail as she enters the parking lot beforehand and claiming innocence to the crime, Mariah however...
Mariah shook her head.
Mariah: I'm not going to sit back and let her disregard everything that I've done in my career as if it was nothing or irrelevant. I would like to think that my family has faith in me overcoming this obstacle. I'm not going to tarnish our family's legacy - let alone my own either.
I'm not questioning my faith in you... I'm just saying. Gail Kim was like the Cena of the Knockouts for like 10 years. How are you not scared?
Because I've been in these situations time and time again. Someone pushes me and I push back - harder. Same song and dance just different dance partners. Gail's a lot more seasoned than me for sure, but I'm not backing away from this challenge. I can't help but feel a little eager to step in the ring with her, despite what she's been saying or how she's been attacking me like a coward.
I support you 100% trust and believe. I'm just worried is all. It's shady. Xion and Brooklyn have something up their sleeves. Be careful out there.
Amber unfolds her arms and places her right arm on her sisters. It had been a while since their was a sense of support between the two at least from Ambers side that is.
Mariah leaned towards Amber and smiled.
Thank you. I'm not really concerned with them. They are already getting kicks out of seeing me in this situation to begin with. I knew they would try to mess with me sooner or later. It might as well be now.
I don't think Gail would allow them to intervene. Gail's not a Vixen but she at least fights with honor. I'll give her that much.
I'd come out and support you but I don't think your pride would allow that.
Amber playfully sticks her tongue out at her older sister.
You know me too well. Just make sure Amanda doesn't do anything crazy. She's already worried to no end that I'm throwing everything away just to get my point across only for the Machine to force me to retire. I'm not going to allow myself to become the butt-end of their sick, twisted schemes.
I'm going to do something I haven't done since you were my kid sister - make you proud of me...
With those words, Mariah got up and headed out to the ring, where her life could potentially change forever after tonight.
*** Singles Match ***
"One Match, One Fight" - BOTH Gail Kim and Mariah's leadership and career on the line
Gail Kim
vs.
"Showstoppin' Senorita" Mariah
Match starts off with Mariah extending the Code of Honor toward Gail Kim who slaps her hand away. Gail opens with several repeated forearm smashes and sends Mariah into the ropes with an Irish whip. Mariah reverses the flow and sent Gail into the ropes instead. Gail returns with Running Headscissor Takedown but Mariah gracefully landed to her feet with a stylish cartwheel into a split. Mariah sprung back up and showed Gail how it’s down with a Headscissor Takedown of her own, only for Gail Kim to land on her feet with a nimble backflip to the awe of the crowd. It was obvious that the GZWA Nation were witnessing two veterans at the top of their game.
Mariah struck with a Discus Lariat but Gail ducked underneath the blow and wrenched her arm in one smooth motion. She scaled up the turnbuckle while still holding Mariah’s arm and performed a Diving Arm Drag. Mariah yanked her back down from the turnbuckle and into a Regal Cutter to counter. The Showstoppin’ Senorita follows up with a Handspring Splash. Gail kipped back up to her feet and nailed Mariah with a Low Dropkick to kick out one of Mariah’s legs out from underneath her, thus leaving her down on one knee. Gail hit the ropes and applies the Christo submission hold. Mariah bit tooth and nail against the hold before dropping Gail to the mat with a Sidewalk Slam to break the hold. She turned the tables with an application of the Queendom (Dragon Sleeper). Gail kneed Mariah in the forehead repeatedly before standing back up with a standing Shiranui to break the hold and falls over gracefully into a pin on Mariah. Mariah barely gets the shoulder up before the count of 3.Gail Kim doesn’t give up and continues on offense with a Missile Dropkick to the waking Showstoppin’ Senorita. Mariah caught Gail out of air with a Sitout Powerbomb and secures her into a seated pin upon impact. Just like Mariah before her, Gail barely gets the shoulder up before the count of 3.
The GZWA Nation has no idea who is going to come out on top in this match. Mariah took to the corner and began stomping her foot in preparation for the pending Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) as Gail was slowly waking up, using the adjacent corner to pull herself back up to a vertical base. Mariah closed in for the kill and connects with the Heartbreaker and the entire GZWA Nation gasps in shock and awe. Gail Kim managed to hit the Eat Defeat to Mariah simultaneously as Mariah’s Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music), causing both women drop to the canvas at the same time.
The referee has no choice but to begin the double knockout count as the GZWA Nation is split 50/50 on who they want to win here, urging these women to get back to their feet with chants of “Fight Forever!!”
“LADIES, LADIES… I’VE SEEN ENOUGH…”
Sensational Mary comes out from the entrance tunnel, dragging Veda Scott down to the ring by her red hair. While Mariah and Gail are still out of it and clearly spent, the referee is continuing the double knockout count until reaching the count of 10. The GZWA Nation have begun chanting, “Please don’t go!” with the pending retirements of both of these women who have put everything on the line in this match.
Mary shook her head amongst the chants of the fans and demanded a microphone from Zoey Valentine at ringside.
Sensational Mary: “I’m not going to beat around the bush here, but in this rare scenario, I have to agree with the GZWA Nation for once. I don’t want to see neither of these women retire. The fact of the matter is that they are too stubborn to realize that both ideologies are needed for the future of this sport if women truly want to continue to thrive here not only in GZWA but throughout professional wrestling. As you can see from this match, these two women love this business too much to give it up in any shape or form. These are the types of women who should be laying the foundation for the future. These women aren’t going to walk away nor abandon you - they are willing to risk everything to prove that they give a damn to be here.
If I can be selfish for a moment but I want… no, I NEED them both as judges/coaches for this year’s Reina de Reinas Dos tournament in November.
My good friend Veda here has something to say… Don’tcha, Veda? If you know what’s good for you…”
Mary releases Veda and shoves the microphone into her chest.
Veda Scott adjusts her glasses and reluctantly took the microphone from her captor, “Ahem… Since I was dragged out here against my free will for my legal expertise in such a rude and primitive manner, I guess I should explain the ramifications of the result of this match since I happened to be the intellectual genius who drew up the legal documentation that both Gail Kim and Mariah signed for this match.
To make a long story short… In the event of a draw that neither woman has to end their careers. I made a VERY minor an oversight when I drew up the contract for Mr. Zeros since I didn’t think that would be a possible outcome, given the intensity of this rivalry between Gail and Mariah. Well what do you know, we’re here right now…”
The crowd begins to cheer with chants of “THANK YOU MARY” as Veda gets annoyed and snaps back at Mary.
“Happy now?”
Mary nods as Veda turns away to head backstage but Mary reels her back in to lay her out with Beauty Mask (Jumping Complete Shot).
*** Tag Team Match ***
The Enforcers (G-Money Briggs & Dequan Wallace)
vs.
"Psycho Menace" Ry Drake & "The Goddess" Amanda Cortez
The match starts with the Enforcers ready to attack the Psycho Menace and the Goddess during their entrance but Ry Drake and Amanda Cortez were nowhere to be found. As the Enforcers look around confused, Amanda and Ry Drake get the drop on the Enforcers from the crowd and get things started by dropkicking both of the Enforcers off the edge of the stage. The Enforcers don’t stay down for long as Amanda and Ry Drake corner Veda Scott at the bottom of the entrance ramp. Veda Scott makes a hasty retreat backstage, leaving the Enforcers to take their business with these rebels against the Machine in the ring to formally start this match.
Dequan Wallace beckons Amanda to get to her feet as he prepared for the Bullet (Da Pounce). Dequan charged in but Amanda responds with a Drop Toe Hold to drop the Enforcer onto the middle rope. The Goddess hits 187 (619) to Dequan and followed up with a Springboard Hurracanrana. Dequan caught her out of the air with a Powerbomb to counter and elevated her back up onto his shoulder and dropped her to the canvas with a Fireman’s Carry Cutter. Ry Drake raced into the ring to break the following pin but G-Money Briggs was quick to intercept with a Pop-up Powerbomb. The Psycho Menace is elevated overhead but leapfrogs over G-Money’s head and lands on top of Dequan to break the pin with a Splash over his spine.
While Dequan rolled out onto the ring apron for a breather, Ry Drake brought G-Money down to size with a Knee Clip and Amanda capitalized with a Jumping Implant DDT to G-Money Briggs. Amanda and Ry Drake turned around into the pending Slingshot Shoulder Block from the returning Dequan Wallace. The Enforcers took to the corners and went for the Lose-Lose Situation but Amanda and Ry Drake leapfrogged over both attacks in unison and return the favor with the #1 Stunna (Stone Cold Stunner) and Laid Out (Strong Roundhouse Kick to the head). Amanda covers Dequan while G-Money crawls trying to break the pin but the Psycho Menace finishes him off with the Assassination (Jumping Curb Stomp) as the Goddess picks up the win.
GZWA Primetime comes back from commercial and the scene starts with a shot panning upwards starting at a black pair of boots and working its way up a long pair of legs and begins to back up slowly to reveal "The Sexiest of Sexy" herself Maryse Ouellet taking a selfie of herself. The crowd immediately bursts into a mixed reaction with a chorus of boos and "cat calls" for the Sultry Vixen.
Pleased with the shot, Maryse sets her phone down on the make-up table and begins to mess with her platinum blond locks. A knock on the door is heard and followed by a GZWA microphone being held by "The Rockin' Redhead" herself. Maryse rolls her eyes and holds a finger up before Christy can speak and she turns and looks into the camera.
💋 "The Sexiest of the Sexy" Maryse 💋
Mesdames et messieurs bonsoir! My name is Maryse...but you should already know that! So tonight the denizens of Planet Sexy get to see moi in a match against "The Upset Queen" Olivia Areano. While she clearly proved that she is upset, we all know that she is no queen! Her jealousy was sooo ugly last week when she interfered in a perfectly good match all because she wants to make a name for herself at my expense. Trust me she is all bark and no bite and we have seen this time and time again when it comes to the little girls in the Vixen's Division. They all know that I am ascending to greatness and so that target me until I show them that I'm not as easy to knock off the pedestal as they think and then they take their wigs and run home with what edges I leave them with.
Olivia will be no different, so she's come back to GZWA and just like her initial run here, absolutely no one cares. You may have got your sneak attack in last week but I still don't see you because you are clearly not on my level. All you did little girl is prove to the masses what we already knew that I'm inside your head and that feeling that you have deep down in your bones is the jealousy and the envy that you will never be as sexy as me, you will never quite measure up to me in any way. You find yourself seeking my attention and not the other way around. I do admire the fact that you are attempting to knock off the top Vixen of this company but it really isn't your time.
You are nothing more than a distraction from the main attraction and that is me capturing the gold that I wok so hard for here. Tonight you will see me end the hopes and dreams of a triumphant return to this company with a fairytale win to welcome Olivia back to the company. There are no happy endings when you get in my way and you are about to discover that first hand. I told you before and I'll say it again. You're wasting your time, I'm the next Vixen's Champion and tonight I will make you say it!
Maryse blows a kiss at the camera before shoving the microphone into Christy's hands and walking away.
*** Singles Match ***
"The Sexiest of the Sexy" Maryse Ouellet
vs.
"The Upset Queen" Olivia Areano (in-ring debut)
This match turns ugly at the opening bell as these two Vixens tackle each other to the floor and roll around the canvas, clawing at each other in a catfight. The referee tries to separate them but ends up getting pummeled by the two Vixens as well. The referee is finally spared by this fate but not without his uniform suffering some cosmetic damage.
These two women aren’t apologetic in the least as Olivia fires off a Roaring Elbow to rock the Sexiest of the Sexy. Olivia follows up with a Tornado DDT to plant Maryse head-first into the canvas. Olivia aimed for a Bulldog but Maryse shoved her into the ropes but Olivia rebounds with a Springboard Elbow Smash. Maryse caught the petite Vixen with an Inverted Atomic Drop and followed up with a bridging Northern Lights Suplex. Olivia gets her shoulder up shortly after the 2 count. Both women return to their feet at the same time, with Maryse striking first with Short Arm Lariat. Olivia is quick to respond with the first in a series of Arm Drags before transitioning into a Crossface Chickenwing. Maryse rams her back into the corner post to remove this annoyance and drills Olivia with a French TKO. Olivia wisely avoids the pending pin by rolling out onto the ring apron. Maryse reaches between the ropes to drag her back into the ring by the hair, but the Upset Queen retaliates by laying Maryse out with a steel chair that she retrieved from underneath the ring.
Maryse is awarded the victory via disqualification but Olivia Areano definitely sent the message in her GZWA debut.
"Crown Prince" Samuel Chatman walks into the locker room pumped up and excited for his Fatal 4-Way match on GZWA Primetime later in the evening. He speaks to all that he passes and puts his bag into the locker marked with his name. He turns around and is sees the camera crew catching people as they enter the locker room to record their thoughts on the matches that are going to take place later in the evening. He speaks to the production crew and patiently awaits his turn.
♕ "Crown Prince" Samuel Chatman ♕
What's up GZWA Nation! It's your "Crown Prince" here and I am really excited about the Fatal 4-Way match tonight where I square off against Gabriel Wingue, The Miz & Konrad Raab. Now last week I faced Konrad in the ring and though I didn't win the match I am not disappointed in the least. The internet has been saying our match stole the show. All I have ever wanted was to put on the best matches that got people interested in not just the entertainment portion of our business but to balance the sports with the entertainment. Some of us train harder than others it's true but we all put in so much blood, sweat and tears that the biggest reward is not just winning a championship belt but ensuring that every time we are out there we do our absolute best and put on a match of the year type match every time you see us.
Tonight will be no exception, there are some big names in this match but as I told the Miz on Twitter, we all have impressive an impressive resume' that focuses on what we have DONE, but we are only as good as the performance we are giving. I am confident that I am one of the guys that make this business look good and tonight I want to dedicate my match to my buddy Daniel Widdel who I know worked hard to make the Television Championship the championship that everyone desires. I am declaring right here and now that I am not going to sit idly by and watch The Machine take every championship in this company and make a mockery of all our hard work. Vic was right I don't understand why he's doing this but these to get to Victor Phillips I have to go through these guys in tonight's match. Sure I could stand here and tell you how good I am but I'd rather show you.
A lot of people in this business walk in and say that they are going to be your champion but can they really carry the responsibilities that come with being a champion? Can they handle the pressure? I'm going to show you by my actions and I'm a role model for not just kids but those adults that are inspiring to be someone or to get their lives back on track. I plan on sticking out as a face that is immediately thought of when you think of GZWA. Gents I hope you are ready for the fight of your lives because I am certainly going to bring it to you tonight and I will no hold back one ounce of my talent, athletic ability and charisma. This match will definitely steal the show and every match that features yours truly will be the match you won't want to miss. I'm honored to be competing in this match against these guys but I cannot be stopped. This is my time in this company and I intend to keep my momentum going. See you out there fellas.
*** Fatal 4 Way Match ***
"The Modern Day Warrior" Gabriel Wingue
vs.
"Hollywood A-Lister" The Miz (in-ring debut)
vs.
"The Iceman" Konrad Raab
vs.
"The Crown Prince" Samuel Chatman
Everyone looks at the newcomer, The Miz, who wisely exits out of the ring at the sound of the opening bell.
Sam and Raab sent Gabe into the ropes. He avoids the pending Double Clothesline and flies out of the ring with a Suicide Dive to the unsuspecting Hollywood A-Lister. Pentagon Jr. stood at the top of the entrance ramp taunting Gabriel Wingue before exiting behind the curtain. The Modern Day Warrior gave chase, leaving this match as an impromptu triple threat.
Sam and Raab gave each other a fist bump out of respect and sought out to make this into a rematch of their titular bout from the last episode of Primetime. The duo lock up with Raab taking control early with an European Uppercut to stun the Crown Prince. Raab ducks behind Sam and goes for a German Suplex, but held onto the ropes. Miz jumped up onto the ring apron and struck with a dropkick, allowing Raab to finish his execution. Raab gets a 2 count before Miz broke the pin with repeated stomps to Sam’s body. Raab sprung back up to his feet and sent Miz overhead with a T-Bone Suplex. Raab closed into continue his offense but Miz stopped him with a Backbreaker/Swinging Neckbreaker combination. Miz dragged the waking Sam to his feet to steal the win with Skullmashing Finale but the Crown Prince shoves him into the waking Raab, which inadvertently sends Raab tumbling out of the ring. Sam rolls up Miz but Miz narrowly avoids the 3 count by rolling through into an application of the Figure Four Leg Lock. Raab returns with a Diving Elbow Drop to Miz’s heart to break the hold. Miz doesn’t get off easy as Raab applies the Ice Lock (Ankle Lock). Sam returns the favor with a Dragon Whip to Raab to break the hold. With Raab stunned, Miz scores a backslide pin to steal the victory from everyone’s noses and immediately flees up the ramp after the decision.
*** Main Event: Stardom Tag Team Classic - Final ***
Three Remaining Teams will square off in a Triple Threat Tornado Tag Match to crown the winners of this tournament
The MisFits vs. Harper/Gargano vs. Carnage/VIP
At the sound of the bell, this match kicks off into chaos with everyone going at each other's’ throats. Laura Jackson introduces herself to Blake Harper who stops that attack short with a Leg Hook Reverse STO. Blake applies a Heel Hook to the Tattooed Beauty but it’s not locked in for long as Casey broke the hold with a Leg Drop over Blake’s throat.
Carnage attacked from behind by elevating Casey onto his shoulders for a Burning Hammer, but the Queen of Submission elbows him in the skull repeatedly until he releases her. With Carnage disoriented, Gargano capitalizes on that situation with a Slingshot Spear to the Hardcore Monster and goes for the win. Victor Phillips drags Gargano’s body off of Carnage by the heel and locks in the Final Statement (Texas Cloverleaf). The Tattooed Beauty locks in the Nighty-Night (Body Scissors/Headlock Combination) while the Statement still has his hold applied. Gargano isn’t willing to give up the ghost and Victor’s not willing to give up either. But Blake’s there to break the hold with a Diving Neckbreaker to the Tattooed Beauty and Statement at the same time. Gargano rolled out of the ring, clenching his legs as the damage was already done.
Blake went for the kill with the Flashing Lights (Headlight Driver) to Laura Jackson but she shoved Blake away into the arms of Casey Cortez. Casey was quick to raise Blake overhead in a Jacknife Powerbomb but Blake fights her off with repeated MMA elbows to the face until Casey and Blake tumble back out of the ring. Carnage shook off the cobwebs and sought to pursue his prey as Gargano, Blake Harper, and Casey Cortez were all at ringside. He aims for an Over The Top Rope Suicide Dive, but the Tattooed Beauty stopped him dead in his tracks by rocking the Hardcore Monster with the Splitting Headcase (Jumping Double Knee to the head) just as he was about to take flight. Carnage drops down to all fours from the blow as Laura climbed up to the top rope. She came down with a Diving Leg Drop Bulldog to the Hardcore Monster and goes for the win after his head bounces off the canvas. Once again, the Statement was there to prevent the pin on the Hardcore Monster with a Deadlift Release German Suplex. Laura lands on the ring apron like a nimble cat but Victor doesn’t stop there as he vaults over her shoulders and slams her to the floor with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb. The Tattooed Beauty lands on top of Gargano’s ailing leg as he cries out in pain before trying to limp away.
Victor stops him with a Knee Clip before rolling him back into the ring. Blake stops Victor before he could wrap Gargano’s leg around the ring post with a Sleeper Slam but Gargano was already lost to the grasp of the Hardcore Monster who held Gargano’s ailing leg in a Stretch Muffler. I looks like the Machine’s own has this won until Carnage is hit from out from nowhere with a Fade to Black (The Gore) from an interfering Amanda Cortez. Gargano is dropped to the mat while Ry Drake comes down from the top rope with a Diving Elbow Drop while holding a steel chair tucked underneath his arm. The Statement tries to assist but he’s laid out with a #1 Stunna (Stone Cold Stunner) from Amanda. The duo escape into the crowd as quickly as they arrived leaving the GZWA Nation in suspense.
Bodies scattered around and within the ring and no one is up to make a cover. A weary Blake Harper covers Carnage. Sadly she’s pulled off of the Hardcore Monster and out of the ring by the Tattooed Beauty. Blake is on the losing end of fighting off both of the MisFits until Gargano dives through the ropes with a Spear. Casey shoved Blake into the line of fire, causing Gargano to take out his own partner. While Gargano tried to bring his partner around, the MisFits slid back into the ring. Casey and Laura give the cut throat motion, signaling the Spike Piledriver. The Statement was still out of it to stop the MisFits but Gargano made a valiant effort to try to hop up to the ring apron to stop the Tattooed Beauty but his own body let him down as his ailing leg gave out, causing him to fall to the floor in pain. The MisFits drove the Hardcore Monster into the mat with the Spike Piledriver and covered him in unison as Amanda and Ry Drake led the GZWA Nation in counting along for the three count, naming the MisFits as the reigning undefeated GZWA Tag Team Champions and winners of the first ever Stardom Tag Team Classic.
Confetti comes down to usher in the celebration to tonight’s winners as tonight’s Primetime comes to a close.
