Location: Richmond, VA
(Flashback after the last episode of Primetime…)
After her match and after she got beaten up by her sister Casey and Rex, Amanda is backstage again and stood in front of Xion Zeros’ office. She still doesn’t know exactly what he wants now, but she also doesn’t want Casey and Rex get away with this attack. So she knocks the door, but then she enters the room.
Not very polite, like usually, she takes a seat and looks at him.
“Are you happy now? I made this match and that it ended up in chaos, wasn’t my fault. So go and blame my sister Casey.”
Amanda is really annoyed and looks at him.
Xion shrugged as he sat behind his desk.
“I thought you loved chaos. It was what you lived for at one point of your career, but it happens here and you’re complaining about it like a child? No matter, I will grant you the opportunity for payback. You and Justin Lockhart will team up against Rex Terrell and Casey on the next episode of Primetime.”
Amanda’s first reaction was rolling her eyes.
“Well, that was a long time ago. I like to think that even you should see that I don’t need chaos anymore.”
But after thinking for it for a while changes her mood a bit. She wants revenge, but she also doesn’t want things to be a massacre like tonight.
“Maybe revenge is a good thing and I think it’s necessary that someone stops Rex and his friends. But why must it be with Justin at my side? You know what I think about him. He’s a spoiled child, but no partner in a match against these ugly monsters. And I think that he wants to go for the title too, so he’s my enemy. That makes no sense …”
Xion shook his head.
“Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘Keep your friends close but your enemies even closer’?”
Amanda rolls her eyes again.
“I have heard it, but I prefer friends. And you should do too. I mean you want me to get this title for you, so … but anyway, then let at least Rose be there as my manager.”
“As you wish, you can have Rose accompany you to the ring, but you shouldn’t concern yourself with Justin Lockhart if he’s such a minor annoyance as you claim. He shouldn’t be a factor in standing in your way in obtaining the title for the Machine.”
Amanda smiles now.
“Okay, then this is settled. Rose will be with me at ringside. I won't concern myself about Justin, but I still don't like him. He's annoying. By the way, why don't you just fire these idiots like Drake, Terrell and my sis?”
Xion smirks, “People ask me the same thing about you and Rose, inquiring why do I keep you two on the roster. The answer is simple really. It’s good entertainment to watch you all squirm and run amok. As long as I profit off this organized chaos, then I see no point not to fire all of you. You all still have some use to me.”
Tag Team Match
Justin Lockhart and "The Goddess" Amanda Cortez vs. "The Mountain" Rex Terrell and "Queen of Submission" Casey Cortez (w/ GZWA World Heavyweight Champion "The Wraith" Ry Drake)
Primetime opens with Rex Terrell and Casey Cortez making their way down to the ring until Amanda Cortez and Justin Lockhart attack from behind with chair shots from behind to clip out the legs out from underneath the Mountain and Queen of Submission. Casey is merely down on one knee as the Goddess and Lockhart execute a Con-Chair-to to the Queen of Submission at ringside. Amanda and Justin Lockhart turned their focus to the kneeling Rex for a similar treatment. They went for the Con-Chair-to, only for the Mountain to punch the chairs away with terrifying force and denting them in the process. This didn’t deter Justin Lockhart from staying on offense. Rex wasn’t back to his feet yet, but Justin threw his chair at the Mountain as he charged forward. Rex caught the chair with ease, but he didn’t see nor stop the pending Running Front Dropkick that came after it in a makeshift Vandaminator to smash the chair in Rex’s face. The blow didn’t floor him but it was enough to send the Mountain reeling against the ringside barricade. The Goddess charged in to finish the job with the Fade to Black (The Gore), but Rex hammered her over the spine with a Double Axe Handle and floored her with a Gutwrench Powerbomb against the ring apron. Amanda cried out in pain as her spine whiplashed against the ring apron. Rose Cortez stood in Rex’s way to hopes of preventing him from continuing his assault but Casey dragged her away by her fiery hair.
Before Rex could get his hands on the Goddess, Justin Lockhart attacked from behind with another Running Dropkick. This time, he manages to send Rex face-first into the steel ring post. Rex doubles over, leaning onto the ring steps for support. Lockhart sought to end this now with the Lock Crusher (Skull-Crushing Finale). Rex had other plans as he powered out by shoving Lockhart into the barricade before charging in with the Mountain Pass (Samoan Spike) to send Justin into the front row of the live crowd from the sheer impact of the blow.
Back in the ring, Amanda crawls towards Casey, who is holding Rose as bait for she could fall into her trap. Rose stomps on Casey’s foot to free herself and allow Amanda to leap into Casey’s arms with a Lou Thesz Press. Amanda assaults the Queen of Submission with punches as she reels back into the corner. Amanda broke off her attack to strike back with another Fade to Black but Casey stopped her dead in her tracks with a Big Boot to the face and proceeded to throw the Goddess into the corner behind her with a Butterfly Suplex. Rose charged in with a Spear of her own, but she was caught within Casey’s Butterfly Suplex and thrown into the corner on top of Amanda. Casey then threw her body into the corner with a Cannonball Senton, crushing both Rose and Amanda into the corner.
The Mountain joined the Queen of Submission in the ring with a Double Chokeslam to both Amanda and Rose. Justin Lockhart came to the Vixens’ aid with a Diving Cross Body, but Rex was prepared as he swatted this minor annoyance out of the air with another Mountain Pass. Casey and Rex didn’t stop there as they held Justin Lockhart and Amanda Cortez within the Lifeless Grip (Two-Handed Choke) and Agony Matrix (Butterfly Lock) respectively. This match never started officially but it was clear who won this battle tonight as Rex and Casey left the collective unconscious bodies of Justin Lockhart, Amanda Cortez, and Rose Cortez scattered within the ring as Primetime took a commercial break.
First Match in Best of Series
"Foxy" Alicia Fox vs. "Fearless" Nikki Bella
Once Nikki Bella entered the ring as Foxy's theme died down from playing we see her stopping at the bottom of the ramp to speak.
Alicia Fox:I know you want me to enter the ring Nicole,but we're still on my term. That didn't sit well with the crowd obviously making Alicia ignoring them rolling her eyes LIKE I CARE WHAT YOU THINK!!! Making her way down the ramp. Nikki noticed a ref was starting to tie a rope around her arm. Now as you can see with Justin running away like the coward he is. I had to come up with a backup plan in mind. And your going to have a hand tied behind your back.
Again unsettling not to mention RUDE remarks from the crowd continued as Alicia skipped around the ring.Nikki stare daggers at her opponent,not keeping her eyes off her You better make sure you get it nice and tight. Do your job ref.

Rolling back inside after her,Foxy was able to connect the Tilt-a-whirl backbreaker just as the ref caught her 'HEY W-WHAT ARE YOU' realizing Foxy was getting her own arm tied behind her back just as Nikki got to her feet with a smirk. Hoping this could be a even match up now. Once the ref signaled for the bell,Foxy took a tantrum trying to fight out of it,just before the fearless leader speared herself and Foxy out of the ring onto the outside. Nikki starts pounding with her free hand,with lightly blocking from Alicia.Scattering away from Nicole,Alicia runs around the ring with Foxy nailing a dropkick.Hoping she has the upper hand.

3-on-3 Traditional Tag Team Match
GZWA Vixen Women's Champion Blake Harper, "The Million Dollar Bitch" Susie Price, and Jennifer Dunn vs. Ursula Areano, "The Silver Screen Queen" Crystal Millar, and "Tattooed Beauty" Laura Jackson
Jennifer Dunn arrogantly wants to start for her team, beckoning the Tattooed Beauty to start things off. Jennifer relies on her MMA roots and opens with Double Leg Takedown, but the Tattooed Beauty has that well-scouted as she connects with the Splitting Headcase (Jumping Double Knees to the head) to immediately counter. The blow rocked Jennifer to the core, allowing Laura to send her into the ropes with an Irish whip. Laura caught Jennifer on the rebound with a Powerslam pin, but Referee Lori Kross didn’t make the count. Before the Tattooed Beauty could take the issue with the official, the GZWA Nation was instantly informed of what transpired as Susie Price enters with Running Bicycle Knee Strike to the Tattooed Beauty after the blind tag. Susie kicks Laura in the midsection, causing her to roll across the ring back towards her team’s corner. The Million Dollar Bitch made her intentions clear.
She points to Silver Screen Queen on the ring apron. Clutching her midsection, Laura reluctantly tags Crystal in while trading glances at the Million Dollar Bitch as if to signify that this isn’t over. There’s no love lost between the Silver Screen Queen and Million Dollar Bitch once they share the same confines of this ring. Both women greet each other with simultaneous Super Kicks to floor each other. Susie is the first one back to her feet as she dragged Crystal Millar to her feet with a Sliced Bread. Crystal snatched her down as Susie scaled the corner post with a mid-air Backstabber counter to ground the Million Dollar Bitch. The Silver Screen Queen followed up with a Springboard Moonsault from the nearby ropes. Unfortunately for Crystal Millar, Susie Price had her knees up to defend. With Crystal grounded, Susie was quick to capitalize on her mistake with an application of the Separation Anxiety (Bridging Armbar).
Before Susie Price could reap the rewards of a submission victory, Laura Jackson intervened with her own form of payback with a Super Kick to break the hold. The Tattooed Beauty wasn’t able to pat herself on the back as Jennifer was there to do it for her with a Back Club. Jennifer Dunn then shoves Laura shoulder-first into the corner post. Laura rolls out onto ring apron, clutching her ailing shoulder. Jennifer Dunn took advantage of this situation by driving the Tattooed Beauty head-first into the ring apron with a Hammerlock DDT.
Susie adjusts her mask, looking to make a reluctant tag to the GZWA Vixen Champion standing on the ring apron. As the Million Dollar Bitch closed in for the tag, Blake Harper yawned with lack of interest and hopped down from the ring apron. She reclaimed her championship from ringside and began her trek back up the ramp. Ursula Areano pursued the Vixen Champion as she wanted to confront the reigning champion. Blake Harper merely stopped long enough to wave goodbye as Jennifer Dunn snuck from behind Ursula and tripped her up with a knee clip halfway up the ramp.
Jennifer Dunn rolled her eyes at the departing champion and shouts, “We didn’t need you anyway!”
She threw Ursula against the guardrail before dragging her down the ramp towards the ring by her brunette hair. It seemed that Jennifer Dunn was right - both her and Susie had this match in control of their very capable hands.
Susie lined up a Leaping DDT to the waking Crystal Millar, but the Silver Screen Queen answered with a Spinebuster. Crystal went for the Flashing Lights (Chick Kick) to the waking Million Dollar Bitch. Susie drops back flat on her back to avoid it (Rosemary style) and sprung back up with The Heimlich (Backstabber) to retaliate. Crystal fell forward towards her team’s corner, but Laura Jackson was still down on the floor from the DDT she received earlier.
Jennifer Dunn drags Ursula back towards the ring and circles the ringside area to mock the weary Tattooed Beauty. Ursula broke free with a Forearm Smash to her spine and shoves Jennifer Dunn away, allowing Laura to connect with a Diving Leg Lariat from the ring apron. Crystal reached towards the turnbuckle as Susie stalked her prey for the inevitable end that was near. Ursula hopped back onto the ring apron and tagged Crystal’s outstretched hand to the delight of the GZWA Nation watching live in attendance. Susie’s eyes glare with a silent fury behind the slits of her mask. She struck first with a Low Dropkick to knock Ursula’s legs out from underneath her and leave the #1 contender down on all-fours. The Million Dollar Bitch then hit the ropes and returned with the Assisted Suicide (Scissor Kick). Ursula moved out of the way at the last instant and answered with a Reverse Neckbreaker. Ursula went to the top rope and motioned for a 450 Splash, but she’s shoved off by Jennifer Dunn. Jennifer laughs at Ursula’s shortcoming. She tags herself in, much to the dismay of the Million Dollar Bitch, who orders her to stay back as she has this handled on her own. Jennifer in her arrogance, shoves Susie right into the crossfire of the incoming Spear by Ursula Areano, causing the Million Dollar Bitch to take that bullet instead of her. Jennifer didn’t get to revel in that minor victory thanks to her brilliant strategy for long as Laura Jackson threw her into the corner with the Tattoo This (Half Nelson Suplex). This left her in the prime position for the incoming Argentina Train (Elijah Express) by Ursula. Jennifer staggered out of the corner involuntarily and right into the pending Tempest Turn (Argentine Cutter). Ursula and Laura pinned her in unison while Susie Price rolled out of the ring, clearly having her fill of this match and her so-called teammates.
ONE…

THREE!!!
3-on-3 Tornado Tag Team Match (Primetime Rematch)
The Frosts (Eliza Frost and "The Dominiqtrix" Dominique Frost) and "The Bobbilicious One" Bobbi Jackson vs. The Mega Busters (Matthew Miles, Psycho Sagus, and Ashleigh Cash)
Unlike their match on the previous episode of Primetime, Matthew Miles and Psycho Sagus were dressed in their normal attires instead of their Alice in Wonderland-inspired garb that they used for mind games over the Frosts. In this rematch, Ashleigh Cash joined her teammates to even the odds - hopefully in their favor.
All six competitors stood face-to-face, or at least the best they could in Sagus’ case to the towering beauty that is Dominique Frost. At the sound of the bell, everyone engaged in kickstarting this battle for supremacy. Both Matthew Miles and Ashleigh Cash avoided the incoming Clotheslines from Bobbi Jackson and Eliza Frost at the same time while Psycho Sagus threw himself towards Dominique with a Running Cross Body. Dominique caught him out of the air and dropped him over her knee in a Gutbuster at the same time that Matthew Miles and Ashleigh Cash rebound from the ropes with two stereo Headscissor Takedowns to whip both Bobbi and Eliza through the ropes and out of the ring. Before she could realize that she was alone in the ring with all three Mega Busters, the Dominiqtrix found herself floored with a Double Bulldog from Ashleigh and Matthew Miles. Psycho Sagus shook off the cobwebs before joining them for a 3-Way Dropkick to Dominique down on all-fours. With Dominique returning to a vertical base, the Mega Busters closed in for another tandem assault, but the Dominiqtrix floored Miles and Ashleigh with a Double Chokeslam while Sagus baseball slides between her legs to narrowly avoid a similar fate. He went to rebound from the ropes, but Bobbi and Eliza pulled the ropes down for Sagus to tumble out of the ring.
It was the Frosts’ turn to go on offense as Bobbi and Eliza lock in Double Show-Shooters (Slightly Modified Sharpshooters) to the grounded Ashleigh Cash and Matthew Miles. Sagus returns with a Springboard Koopa Killer to Mushroom Hop off of the incoming Dominiqtrix’s back and deliver a Double Bulldog to Bobbi Jackson and Eliza Frost. Sagus went for the kill with the Konami Code (Dudley Dog) to Dominique, only for the Dominiqtrix to respond with a Back Drop Suplex to instantly derail those plans. She grew annoyed with this pest and sought out to make him suffer with an Elevated Cobra Clutch from the second rope.
As Psycho Sagus’ feet dangled off the ground in this hold, Matthew Miles raced to make the save, but ran straight into the pending Belly-to-Belly Suplex from Eliza Frost. Miles landed onto his feet like a nimble cat, sprung from the ropes from a Springboard Enzuigiri to free his partner-in-crime by knocking Dominique to the mat in all one smooth motion. Dominique lands on top of Sagus’ back, which he seems to enjoy a little too much before being slapped to his senses.
The Carter: Lucky bastard...
Eliza didn’t find nothing funny about this situation at all as she leapfrogs over their bodies and into Miles, who was trying to smack some sense into Sagus to get back into action, with a Body Guillotine that sends them falling out of the ring. This leaves Bobbi Jackson squaring off with none other than Ashleigh Cash.
Ashleigh smirks as she ducks the incoming Discus Clothesline from the Bobbilicious One and motioned behind her for a German Suplex. Ashleigh found herself tripped up as Bobbi saw that tactic coming and Ashleigh found herself on her back as Bobbi opted for the Show-Shooter. Ashleigh kicked her way into the ropes to avoid that maneuver, but Bobbi rebounded back from the ropes with an incoming Spear to the waking female Mega Buster. Ashleigh leapfrogs over Bobbi’s attack and fell into a Leg Trap Sunset Flip Powerbomb to pin the Bobbilicious One to the mat.
ONE…
TWO…
WAIT!!!
Bobbi kicks Ashleigh back to free herself and drags Ashleigh to her feet in position for the Pedigree. Ashleigh flips Bobbi overhead out of desperation. She positioned herself onto the top rope and took flight with the Homing Sniper (Diving Overcastle) to the waking Bobbi. Eliza shoved Bobbi out of the way to take the maneuver herself. The confusion allowed Bobbi to connect with the Pedigree to Ashleigh, but the referee wouldn’t make the count when she went for the pin. He was knocked out during Eliza’s noble sacrifice.
Before Bobbi could devise a Plan B, the Mega Busters got their payback in the form of a Double Super Kick. Matthew Miles and Psycho Sagus positioned themselves on the adjacent turnbuckles, ready to finish off Bobbi with a combination aerial assault in the form of a Diving 450 Splash and Frog Splash when the lights went out. When the lights came back on, all three of the Mega Busters were out cold in the middle of the ring. The trio staggered back to their feet, only to receive a Pedigree, Avalanche (Cradle Belly-to-Back Piledriver), and Ice Pick (Crucifix Powerbomb) for their trouble. The Frosts and Bobbi Jackson pinned the Mega Busters in unison.
ONE…

Main Event: Queen of Queens Championship Match
"The White Hawk" Vi Malkov (c) vs. "The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix
The bell sounds to start the match with neither woman willing to shake the others’ hand out of respect in the Code of Honor. Instead, both the White Hawk and the Glamazon exchanged pleasantries in the form of a stare down. The tension between these two women quickly escalated into physicality as Vi Malkov struck first with a Headbutt to Beth Phoenix. The Glamazon was unfettered by the blow and instantly responded by elevating the White Hawk into the air with a Two-Handed Elevated Choke. Beth Phoenix tosses her into the corner with ease like a ragdoll. She then hits the ropes on the opposite end of the ring before impacting into Vi’s body with a Stinger Splash. Beth then yanked her out of the corner by the arm into a pending short-ranged Clothesline. Vi managed to duck underneath Beth’s swing and retaliates with a Release Dragon Suplex.
The White Hawk knew that wasn’t enough to keep the Glamazon down, so she followed up with a Shining Wizard to the waking Glamazon. Beth Phoenix caught Vi out of the air and counters with kneeling Powerbomb to pin the Queen of Queens Champion’s shoulders to the mat in a pin.
ONE…
TWO…
WAIT!!!
Vi applies grounded Essence of Life (Flying Guillotine Choke) to escape that pinning situation and to turn the tables on the Glamazon. Beth Phoenix powers back to her feet and rams Vi into the corner repeatedly until Vi has no choice but to release the hold. Beth hits the ropes and returns with another Stinger Splash - only for the White Hawk to drop her face-first onto the turnbuckle behind her with a Reverse STO. This grants the White Hawk a short reprieve before she goes back on offense with a Snap German Suplex out of the corner. Unfortunately, Beth Phoenix held onto the ropes causing Vi to throw herself back. Vi tucked and rolled back to her feet, only to be floored by the incoming Lariat from the Glamazon. Beth then motioned for a Slingshot Suplex but Vi knees Beth in the face once her body was suspended overhead. Vi landed back on her feet and opted for a Brainbuster of her own, but she found this maneuver to be prevented by Double Axe Handle slammed over her back by the Glamazon.
Prof. X: The White Hawk isn’t wise to try to win a battle of strength with the Glamazon.
The Glamazon put her power on full display as she lifted Vi overhead with ease with a Military Press before surprising the GZWA Nation by making the White Hawk fly literally out of the ring with a Running Military Press Drop that sent her crashing through the commentary table at ringside. Referee Lori Kross has no choice but to begin the ring out count as the Glamazon posed in the ring while Vi Malkov landed among the debris of the wrecked table.

Just before Lori could make the count of 10, Vi crawls back into the ring, only to receive the Glam Slam. Vi counters with a Sunset Flip transitioned into a Rolling Kneebar. The Glamazon fought tooth and nail against the hold, crawling across the ring to reach the ropes.
Francine: The Glamazon isn’t going to give up to the likes of a White Hawk. The Firebird will always revive to fight again and again.
Beth manages to reach the ropes and grip them firmly to force a rope break. After the hold is broken, Beth limps back to her feet, only to receive a series of knees strikes from Vi. Vi fires off a Spinning Backfist for good measure, but she found herself trapped within a Dragon Sleeper by the Glamazon instead.
Vi found herself slowly fading within the hold. Referee Lori Kross raised Vi’s limp arm for signs of life, only for the White Hawk to summon the strength to break from the hold with an Inverted Jawbreaker.
The White Hawk went for Essence of Life again to the stunned Glamazon, but found herself slammed into the corner with a thunderous Spinebuster by Beth Phoenix. Vi definitely wasn’t out of the woods yet if she wished to retain her Queen of Queens Championship here tonight. Beth Phoenix continued her offense with an elbow to Vi’s face and prepared to position Vi onto the top rope. Beth was stopped in her tracks with a two-step strike combination from Vi in the form of the Double Tap (Step-Up High Knee followed by Bicycle Kick) to power out of the corner and leave the Glamazon reeling from these blows. Beth attempted to shake off the cobwebs and instantly strike back with a Lariat towards the incoming White Hawk, but Vi ducks and hits Dante’s Descent (Release Sheerdrop Brainbuster). Beth sat up from the canvas slowly, only to eat kick from Vi to the face.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE--NO!!
Vi didn’t have time to mentally process that somehow that the Glamazon kicked out of that lethal maneuver when Beth Phoenix managed to transform Vi’s pin attempt into a Glam Slam as the Glamazon brought them both to their feet. When Beth Phoenix dropped Vi to the mat with this devastating maneuver, the GZWA Nation was in shock and awe as the Glamazon found herself impacting face-first into the canvas, thanks to a last minute reversal Wheelbarrow Facebuster from the White Hawk. With the Glamazon stunned, Vi Malkov connects with Essence of Life successfully since she had no means of preparing for the maneuver in her current state. Beth Phoenix tried to will herself back to her feet, but her knee that Vi targeted earlier gave out, dropping her back to her knees as Vi leaned back, applying more pressure to the hold. With a heavy heart, the Glamazon had no choice but to submit, thus rewarding tonight’s title defense to Vi Malkov via submission.
