[Vi.]

Vi Malkov ceases her protests and struggling while Susie Price licks her lips in anticipation as she wrenches the hold further. Susie suddenly found herself spiked into the canvas with a desperation Burning Hammer/Reverse Death Valley Driver from Vi. Susie staggers to her feet after the impact and immediately fell prey to The Essence of Life (Flying Guillotine Choke) from the White Hawk. Vi’s body weight caused Susie to drop head-first into the mat again while the hold was still applied. Vi kept her shoulders up as the referee checked to see if Susie was responsive. After raising her arm three times, it was determined that Susie Price was knocked out cold from the last two maneuvers and unable to continue, thus naming Vi Malkov the winner of this match.

Zoey Valentine | Ring Announcer: “Susie Price is unable to continue. As a result, your winner and holder of both the Queen of Queens Championship and GZWA Women’s Championship, Vi Malkov!”

Prof. X: I’m speechless after what we just witnessed. There you have it, folks. We have the first ever double champion as Vi Malkov holds both the Queen of Queens Championship and the GZWA Women’s Championship.

Francine: The question of the matter is how long can she hold onto the gold and remain undefeated? Vi will have to defend the Queen of Queens title against the winner of Reinas Tres, sooner more than later. Then on top of that, Susie Price has a guaranteed rematch clause.

The Carter: If the rematch is anywhere as good as what we’ve seen tonight then we’re in for another instant classic!

Prof. X: That’s all the time we have for tonight, folks. Thank you for watching and good night!

She knocked the bitch unconscious.

Vi’s win over Susie Price secured her what she longed for the GZWA Women’s Championship, but it knocked the woman out of the company. There was no one left.

She had truly beaten them all.

Now began a new chapter.

The GZWA Women’s Championship had seen its trials and tribulations, from its earlier days as the object of the gender bias that wrestling still adhered to. It wasn’t until the present day that it had metaphorized into a champion that hailed the gender that it was designated for, rather than limit them. The Women’s Championship now served as an attraction for what women, people who were once ostracized for even thinking of wrestling, can do now. It shined brightly both figuratively, but literally, in the frame of the shot. The championship lingered on the shoulder of its prodigious owner, Vi Malkov. She served as a welcome change to the foundation of the GZWA, having worked her way up the mountain. 

Stars, legends, and champions laid in her path of dominance. It started at the Reina de Reina tournament a full year ago, which made her upcoming match something special.

Fujiko Mine is the toughest challenge that she must face. She won the latest Reina de Reina tournament and she stands high above anyone else that Vi had to face prior. Fujiko came into this match with a ton of fantastic matches and accolades on her resume. Yet, there was something that Vi knew about Fujiko. She knew her weaknesses because the person that brought Vi into wrestling happened to be the woman that Fujiko could beat. Vi made her way into the set with her head held high. Fujiko is strong, but a champion doesn’t buckle under the weight of a strong challenger. The challenger must fall to the tremendous might of the champion they hope to overcome. Vi is the wall that Fujiko cannot conquer. 

“Vi,” said a person on the phone as she made her way down the hallway. “Do you think you’re ready?”

“I have to be, don’t I?” 

“If not, I’ll lose everything that I’ve worked for,” she paused, “I’ll have to go back to the slums.”

“That’s somewhere I don’t want to go again. I can’t let her defeat me. I know she’s good. I know she has come far. I know that she has everything more than I do, but I cannot let her vanquish me, Izzy.”

Vi nodded as she stood ready for the contract signing.

“I must continue to survive.”
