Recorded Date: August 23, 2018
Air Date: August 30, 2018
Backstage, the camera focuses in on a pair of boots. The camera slowly tilts upward, following shapely legs, until they hit hips. Guarding that view is the GZWA Queen of Queens championship. The crowd cheers, knowing exactly who it is as the camera continues to rise. The smiling face of the Apex Goddess causes the crowd to cheer even more, and she smiles broadly.
Fujiko Mine: GZWA Primetime is going to bear witness to quite the spectacle tonight. Rose Cortez looks to try and take away my championship before I’m able to even begin to show what I’m capable of. She plans to...how did she put it?
Fujiko places a finger on her lips in thought. Her eyes brighten with recollection, and she sticks that same finger up in the air.
Fujiko Mine: Ah yes, “hurt me very badly.” That’s what she said. I’m about to prove to Rose Cortez that she is dealing not with just any wrestler...not just any survivor...but a wrestling goddess.
She beams proudly.
Fujiko Mine: And when dealing with me, nothing is easy. So Rose, I hope that you are ready for the absolute fight of your life.
She taps her nose with her index finger.
Fujiko Mine: I wonder what you’re going to do when you try your best shot, and it isn’t enough? When you are sure that you have victory in hand...but the referee tells you that it was only two, and not three? What will you do when you run out of options? Will you throw a fit? Will you kick and scream? Or will you rely on your wife for help?
On cue, the imposing XENA enters the frame, folding her arms across her chest. She stands just behind and to the right of Fujiko.
Fujiko Mine: Just remember...I’ve accounted for all possibilities...including you trying to get Amanda involved. You won’t stop me, Rose. This title will stay around my waist, where it belongs...and you are going to make an excellent first defense. I know it is difficult for you to reckon with now, but as this match slips away from you, bit by bit...you will know what so many before you have learned.
She gives a quick nod of her head.
Fujiko Mine: You can’t escape the will of the goddess...
Fujiko winks, and strides off camera. Xena remains for a moment or two; A sinister smile on her face shows up before she walks off, and we return to ringside.
Queen of Queens Championship Match
“The Apex Goddess” Fujiko Mine © vs. Rose Cortez
Prof. X: We kick off tonight’s broadcast with the first defense of the Queen of Queens Championship following the new cycle after Fujiko Mine won Reina de Reinas Dos and dethroned the former champion, Vi Malkov. She will defend the title against Rose Cortez, a former Blazing Sin Wrestling Women’s Champion and finalist during the Reina de Reinas Dos tournament.
Francine: True, but she got the finals after she had help from her wife, Amanda Cortez, pulled some foul play to get things to fall into their favor. With Amanda devoting herself to being Rose’s manager instead of wrestling full-time, you can guarantee that we’re going to see more of this tonight.
The Carter: I have no doubt about that, but you see the size of that Xena chick? Amanda would be wise to not get involved and spare herself from getting ripped in half like a phone book.
Francine: When has Amanda done anything that was considered ‘wise’ in her career? I doubt she’s going to have a change of heart starting tonight.
Rose didn’t even wait until the opening bell as she attacked Fujiko from behind with a Jumping Double Knee Backbreaker as she raised the Queen of Queens Championship overhead. Rose immediately covers Fujiko as the referee has no choice to ring the bell to officially start this match.
ONE…

TH---NO!!!
After kicking out of the near-fall, the Apex Goddess is down on all fours catching her breath. Rose wasn’t going to give her any sympathy nor time to recover. She charged straight back towards Fujiko down on all fours, closes in with Running Fame-Asser. Fujiko threw her overhead Back Toss to counter, effectively sending Rose crashing down to ringside. Fujiko Mine then returned to her feet, hit the ropes on the opposite end of the ring, and launched herself up and over the top rope out of the ring with a Corkscrew Plancha to the waking Rose at ringside. Much to the surprise of the Apex Goddess and the GZWA Nation, Rose sprung up with an explosive counter in the form of the Thorn’s Edge (RKO) to catch Fujiko out of nowhere.
With both women down at ringside, the referee started the Ring Out count.

Rose caresses the cheek of the referee, urging him to stop his count as he turned to face Rose directly. She wrapped her arms around his neck while Amanda Cortez made full use of this distraction at ringside. The fruits of this tactic were soon revealed as Amanda connects with Fade to Black (The Gore) to waking Fujiko at ringside. Xena closed in to retaliate but Amanda was quick to flee before the referee resumed the count.

Somehow Fujiko was able to throw her body underneath the bottom rope just before the count of 10. Rose’s look of shock warped to one of disgust as she urged Fujiko to her feet, only to go for an Orton Backbreaker. Fujiko jerked back to life by responding with a Basement DDT to floor Rose. It wasn’t enough to keep her down but it bought Fujiko enough time to continue her offense with the 4-Play (Running Single Leg Dropkick to face). Fujiko’s comeback sequence was cut short as her foot was caught by the waking (or rather blooming Rose). She transitioned into an application of the Ankle Lock.
Prof. X: Fujiko can’t seem to catch a break here from all of these tricks that Rose has up her sleeve.
Francine: I’ll give her credit. She’s definitely done her homework on the Apex Goddess.
The Carter: It’s easy to forget that even though Rose has been standing on the sidelines all of this time that she was a former BSW Women’s Champion in her own right.
Fujiko crawls towards the ropes, looking to force a rope break but Rose prevents that strategy coming to fruition by dragging her back towards the center of the ring. Fujiko improvises by rolling her hips to flip her own body over and kicks Rose into the ropes to free herself. The Apex Goddess then kips back up with a Lucky Shot (Backflip flash kick) to catch Rose on the rebound. Fortunately for Rose, she held onto the ropes to stay out of the line of fire. Rose connects with a Facebuster Knee Drop (Codebreaker) just as Fujiko lands on her feet, but Rose is unable to capitalize on the maneuver with a cover as Fujiko rolls out on ring apron to avoid the pin. Rose hits the ropes and charges towards the Apex Goddess standing on the ring apron in an attempt to Spear her off the ring apron. Fujiko avoids that outcome by leapfrogging over Rose’s body as she closes in after springboarding off the ropes back into the ring. Fujiko then rebounds off the ropes and connects with a Handspring Ace Crusher before Rose realized what had transpired. Fujiko quickly covered Rose, looking to end this here.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE----WAIT!!!
The GZWA Nation thought Fujiko Mine had this match won, but that was prevented by Amanda Cortez drags Fujiko out of the ring by the legs and off of Rose’s body. Amanda didn’t get away with this crime this time as she found herself instantly floored by Xena at ringside. The GZWA Nation roared in response as Fujiko hopped back up onto the ring apron. She returned back into the ring with an impressive aerial display of a Springboard Shooting Star Press. The Apex Goddess lands on top of Rose’s body and found herself trapped within caught into the Pretty Poison (Hell’s Gate Submission Hold).
Prof. X: Once again, we find Fujiko in another hairy situation, thanks to the foul play from Rose’s partner in crime.
Francine: Xena’s looking to make sure Amanda stays squashed underneath her heel after that last bit of interference. It’s up to Fujiko to find a way out of this current predicament.
The Carter: I’m not losing faith in the Apex Goddess, not for a second!
Prof. X: Looks like you might be getting your wish, Carter.
Fujiko shifts her body weight forward, forcing Rose’s shoulders to be pinned to the mat.
ONE…
TWO…
THR---NO!!!
Fujiko’s strategy works to her favor as Rose is forced to break the hold as she kicks out of the pin. Fujiko returns to a vertical base first and sprung off the nearby ropes with a Springboard Enzuigiri. The waking Rose ducks underneath the incoming kick and hits Snap Release German Suplex from behind after Fujiko lands. With Fujiko staggering back to her feet, Rose sprints back towards the ropes. She makes contact with the ropes and shoots off on the rebound with a page out of her wife’s playbook, the Fade to Black (The Gore). Fujiko dropped to her knees as Rose closed in for the kill, only to connect by reacting at the last second with the Lucky Shot (Backflip flash kick). Rose is stopped dead in her tracks and falls to the mat, allowing Fujiko to make the cover.

Zoey Valentine: “Your winner and STILL Queen of Queens Champion, Fujiko Mine!”
The scene opens up as Returning superstar Genesis can be seen in his locker room taping his wrist in preparation for his match later. He continues to move the tape around before he’s interrupted by a knock on his door which he responds to. The sound of high heeled Gucci boots can be heard clicking as Amber Torres first comes into shot followed by the sound of another pair of boots with the Arrival of former
Amber|Torres:
Hey there, patna. We don’t mean to impose or anything just wanted to talk strategy for our match later tonight. Ya know the one where we are teamed up with you versus that random ass collection of guys.
Raven:
And we noticed, like us, you recently made a return so we got you thiiiiis.
Raven waved the basket in front of Gen’s face, his eyes following it, before setting it down on the floor next to him
Amber|Torres:
Think of it as a peace offering. Don’t open it yet wait till after the match tonight. We know you’ll love it. I hand picked everything in it.
Rae nudges at Amber taking all the glory.
Amber|Torres:
Ok she helped, too, but mostly me.
Amber and Rae make their way over to Genesis both running their hands down the man's arms before the pair both sit on the man's legs, Amber on the right and Rae on the left. The pair lean their backs against each other for extra balance as Genesis placed his hands in both Vixens laps in response.
Raven:
Now, sweetie, I believe this is the first time we’ve ever came face-to-face, so I just wanted to let you know that I've done some soul searching over the years and learned about the healing power of forgiveness. It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new Moi!
Genesis scowls at Raven a bit puzzled.
Raven:
It's French for “me”, hun. Anyway! I say that to bring up the comment you made about me and the other girls? Water under the Michelle Williams bridge.
Before Genesis can respond Raven puts her fingers on his lips shushing him.
Raven:
Now now now, don't say you don't remember or try to deny because it's actual and factual. Mmkay? Let us jog that memory.
Rae reaches down her turtleneck-like top and fishes out a folded piece of paper from the top of her skin tight dress, handing it over her shoulder to a waiting Amber who unfolds the paper clearing her throat.
Amber|Torres:
And I quote. December 29th, 2013, “Then, we have the Women's Champion "The Ultimate Vixen" Raven!"”
Amber coughs putting her hand on her chest before smiling
Amber|Torres:
Here’s where the tea drops. Listen up. "Now, unlike the other two champions in this match. I've never crossed paths and I never had an issue with Raven whatsoever. However, while I can't speak for the rest of the roster, I can say that her matches make for an excellent bathroom break. Forgive me for sounding gross and I know this is definitely a little too much information for everyone hearing this, but I've taken dumps longer then any match Raven or the other divas have competed in."
Genesis’ face can be seen squirming as Amber reads the paper. As soon as she’s done Genesis can be seen trying to move the girls before the two of them shift their weight to his crotch keeping him in place.
Amber|Torres:
That’s so rude of you Gennie. Here we are showering you with our presence and bring you gifts and you’ve been hiding how you felt about us this whole time. Shame on you.
Raven:
And, ya know, I'm hard pressed to find why you would even make such a comment. As a fellow multi-time champion, where was the the comradery? The support? You know, you got all your damn nerve to…!
Raven clenches her teeth, calming herself down
Raven:
But...that's the past and we're over that. Because, truth be told, if I hadn't found God? And MY Jesus?? I would've been shoved your OWN boots up yo-
Amber jumps in to cut Raven off
Amber|Torres:
-Truth be told! We are ok with letting bygones be just that. So for both Rae and I, I’d like to say we accept your apology. And can’t wait to tag with you later tonight.
Raven:
Now, bring it in for a group huuuug!!!
Raven and Amber get up wrapping their arms around Genesis, making a Clique sandwich...particularly with their chests squeezing both sides of his head. After enough pressure, they finally break the bear hug and turn to leave the room. Genesis picks up the basket going through its contents to pull out multiple packets of moist towelettes, a box of clubhouse crackers, ibuprofen gel tablets, 2 Chinese/Baoding balls, and a big bag of frozen peas. Genesis was seen confused and mouthing “what the fuck?” as the scene fades to black
Dead or Alive Elimination Chamber Match Qualifier for GZWA World Championship
“The Next Level” Mike Bradley vs. “The Hardcore Monster” Carnage
The match opens with the Next Level showing no fear as he struck first and fast with a series of right hooks to the Hardcore Monster. Carnage is unfazed by the blows and powers through by grabbing Mike by the throat in a Two-Handed Choke and throwing him into the corner with a Choke Toss. Carnage then collided into his flesh with a Running Big Splash into the corner. Carnage Irish whips Mike into the adjacent corner and serves him with another Big Splash into the corner. Mike staggers out of the corner and walks right into the pending Buckle Bomb (Running Release Powerbomb into the corner). Mike shifts his center of gravity at the last instant and sends Carnage back into the turnbuckle, shoulder-first with a Hurracanrana Whip. Mike jumps over the ropes and lands on the ring apron, where he slingshot himself back into the ring with a Tornado DDT to the Hardcore Monster as he spun around after impacting from going into the corner post. After Carnage’s skull bounces off the mat, Mike hits the ropes and rebounds with a Shining Wizard to the waking Hardcore Monster. Carnage staggered to his feet, caught Mike in motion and used Mike’s momentum against him as he performs the Total Annihilation (Spiral Sitout Powerbomb). Carnage pins Mike’s shoulders to the mat upon impact.
ONE…

THRE---NO!!!
The Next Level kicks out just before the referee’s hand comes down for the count of three. Mike rolls back and springs back to his feet, only to connect with a point-blank Step-Up Enzuigiri to the Hardcore Monster as he sat in a seated position from the attempted pin. Carnage fell forward from the blow, which allowed Mike to help the Hardcore Monster to his feet in the form of the Brookline Bounce (Inverted Facelock + Leg Drop Bulldog). Mike took to the skies and descended from the top rope with a Frog Splash before covering Carnage.
ONE…
TWO…
TH---NO!!!
Carnage kicks out by throwing Mike’s body across the ring as he powers out of the pin attempt. Mike is quick to return to his feet and greets the waking Hardcore Monster with a series of rights before performing a backflip. He returns with a Clothesline, only for Carnage to intercept him with a Black Hole Slam to counter. Carnage then took to the top rope, but Jesse Bradley hops up onto the ring apron looking to hinder his progress. Carnage swats her down with ease, but Jesse’s distraction bought Mike the time that he needed to recover. He leapt up to the top rope to join Carnage and descends with him in tow for an explosive top rope variation of the Final Boss (Spanish Fly). The Next Level makes the cover once again.

The lights in the arena dim out as the crowd take out their smartphones using them to illuminate the arena. The sound of “Boss” by Lil Pump fills the arena as the titantron blast a familiar name on it. The name of returning superstar Jaser Cruz. The crowd begins to cheer as he steps foot out into the arena. He smiles looking out at the crowd before making his way down to the ring. He hands out a few high fives while making his way over to the timekeepers area and grabbing a mic from the announcer at ringside. He steps up the stairs looking back out at the crowd before getting back in the ring as his music dies down.
Jaser can be seen smiling as the crowd cheers him on and giving him a “Welcome Home” chant.
JΔSΞR: WHAT'S GOODIE GZWA NATION?
Jaser smiles as the cheers rain in again.
JΔSΞR: First and foremost it’s good to finally be back home. Secondly my name is Jaser Cruz, the youngest signed superstar here in this company at the ripe age of 16. I was here dominating negros and negets twice the age and three times the size of me. Shout out to Mike Bradley, good to see you still chugging along with that board plank for charisma sister of yours.
Jaser laughs as the crowd gives him a mixed reaction.
JΔSΞR: But moving along that's right you heard me right. Cruz as in of the very prestigious Cruz Family Dynasty. You may have heard of a few of my family members from right here in GZWA, the likes of Mariah.
The crowd gives a loud cheer at the mentioning of Mariah’s name.
JΔSΞR: Amber Torres!
Again the crowd cheers again.
JΔSΞR: And Amanda Cortez.
The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Amanda’s name, Jaser just smiles and shrugs.
JΔSΞR: Its ok, some of us in the family feel the same way.
Jaser laughs as the crowd does too.
JΔSΞR: No I’m not out here to drag that sister. I do love and respect Amanda for being there so heavy for me in the beginning of my career here when I was a fresh 16 year old. Amanda despite her social media presence deserves more respect for her accomplishments. She’s arguably the most decorated out of the bunch. Despite her social media happenings.
Jaser smiles
JΔSΞR: So thirdly I promise you I won’t take much more of your time. You see as I said before I’m not out here to drag that sister. You see there’s another one worth mentioning.
Jaser begins to pace around as the crowd listens in
JΔSΞR: Marisol Cruz or Mariah as you all know and love her by. You see this particular sister of mine is the epitome of thirsty. Instead of praising her very own flesh and blood or even acknowledging my existence, she’s too busy sitting around on her @ liking and hyping up bimbos. While I’m out here single handedly saving franchises she’s using those heart eye emojis thirsting over blonde gaming hoes.
Jaser shudders as the crowd starts to boo him
JΔSΞR: Oh boo hoo you stans. You see instead of giving me the attention a sister should she shunned me out. I've gone and made a name for myself in Hollywood. I’m a star of my very own Reality T.V. Show going on it’s 3rd season, I’ve acted in movies, I have a hit drama series coming out next year but there’s two things here that I never got to see through.
Jaser licks his lips before leaning back against the ropes.
JΔSΞR: There was a time when I single handedly brought hype back to the Television title here. The same title I fought and clawed my way to against the likes of ole “If you don’t know” looking ass Mike Bradley.
The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Mikes name. While Jaser pauses taking it in
JΔSΞR: Look at that Mike, after all these years I still can put your flabby ass over.
The crowd boos as Jaser starts to laugh
JΔSΞR: And well the other guy is just a smudge on the record esp after what he did to Delta. But that’s nun of yall’s bidness. You see I’m back to reclaim my BAE. And there’s nothing y’all can do to stop me. But first there’s the second reason I came back here. To be the first Cruz to single handedly take down Mariah in GZWA.
The crowd gives a shocked reaction.
JΔSΞR: You see what better trophy than that of the “oh so great” Mariah’s name on my list of defeated superstars. When I didn’t have a career she was there for me, praised me. The second I showed up here in GZWA, she dogged me. Overlooked me. She acted like she didn’t know me. Once I beat my big sis, she'll have no choice but to acknowledge my talent along with the rest of the GZWA Locker room. I’m putting them on blast cause once I’m through with Mariah, I’m coming for my Television title.
Jaser smiles and drops the mic then signaling the title motion around his waist as “Boss” by Lil Pump pays in the arena while the scene fades out to commercial.
Dead or Alive Elimination Chamber Match Qualifier for GZWA World Championship
The Doombringer vs. “The Queen of Submission” Casey Cortez
This match started with a test of strength between these two powerhouses. The Doombringer was starting to gain the upper hand, but Casey delivers a kick to his shin, which allowed her to wrench his arm and take a page out of his playbook with the Old School. The Doombringer didn’t take kindly to this gesture as he caught her out of the air with a Chokeslam reversal to slam dunk Casey into the mat. The Doombringer proceeded to pick Casey back up for another, but found himself trapped within the Kimura Lock once he raised her body off the canvas. The Doombringer dropped to one knee briefly but quickly summoned the strength and willpower to retaliate. He rammed Casey’s spine into the corner repeatedly to force her to release her grasp on his limp. She involuntarily succumbs to his demands, but not without her issuing her own form of retaliation. She hammers over The Doombringer’s spine with a Double Axe Handle to leave him ripe for the application of the Tarantula submission hold that followed afterwards.
The referee gave the illegal hold count as Casey held on.

Casey wisely released the hold shortly before the count of 5. She doesn’t stop there as she wasn’t finished with The Doombringer in the least. She then drags him between the ropes in anticipation of a Piledriver on ring apron. The Doombringer flips Casey Cortez overhead back into ring to narrowly avoid possible injury from this vile act. He then hung her upper body underneath the bottom rope in preparation for the Apron Dive Guillotine Leg Drop that followed afterwards. After he stepped back into the ring, The Doombringer helped the Queen of Submission back to her feet with the Deadman Walking (Old School). This time, The Doombringer was intercepted out of the air as the Queen of Submission caught him right out of the air into the Agony Matrix (Royal Butterfly).
Prof. X: An excellent reversal from the Queen of Submission, living up to her moniker.
The Carter: Look! The Doombringer’s fading!
The Doombringer is shown then dropping down to his knees looking to submit, only to rise back up and spin out of position, effectively breaking out the hold in the process before countering with Scorpion Death Drop.
Francine: An amazing exchange between these two talents right here.
The Doombringer and Casey Cortez rose back to their feet and charged at the other. Both powerhouses collide in the middle of the ring as they simultaneously take each other out with a Running Big Boot and Clothesline From Hell. Both competitors laid on the mat as the refere had no choice but to begin the Double KO count.

Both The Doombringer and Casey Cortez were able to will themselves back to a vertical base. Casey threw off her striking gloves and gave The Doombringer a Knockout Punch that merely brought him down to all-fours from the impact. With her prey kneeling before her, Casey couldn’t help cutting a sadistic smirk as she goes for the Jacknife Powerbomb. That proved to be no laughing matter as The Doombringer connects with a Throat Thrust followed by a Headbutt that rocked Casey from the sheer force behind it. She stumbled back into the ropes in response and threw herself forward full force with another Clothesline From Hell. The Doombringer stood his ground, poised and ready. He caught her onto his shoulders and dropped her into the mat with the Tombstone Piledriver (with laying hands on chest special pin animation). He folded her arms over her chest and pinned the Queen of Submission.

3-on-3 Tag Team Match
GZWA Tag Team Champions Knightmare INC (Chance Justice & Jayson Heagerty; w/ Kendall Knight) and Justin Lockhart vs. The Clique (“The Ultimate Vixen” Raven & Amber Torres) and “The King of Controversy” Genesis
Prof. X: After their shocking win to capture the Tag Team titles, Knightmare INC has been stirring up the pot with the members of The Clique while simultaneously attempting to coerce Justin Lockhart to their way of thinking. They aided him to pick up a prompt victory over the returning Genesis on our last broadcast. Our Interim GZWA Chairwoman thought it would be fitting to pit these “unlikely allies” of sorts in a 3-on-3 tag team match tonight for payback.
Francine: I’ll be surprised to see any of these teams play nice. It’s like mixing oil and water.
The Carter: We might be surprised, the Clique did promise to turn over a new leaf since coming back into the fold.
Francine: I’ll believe that when I see it…
Chance Justice and Amber Torres start things off for their respective teams. The two competitors engage in a collar-and-elbow hold briefly before Chance took control with a Hammerlock. Amber responds by dropping down to the mat with an Armdrag counter to turn the tables. With Chance down, Amber quickly charged in to connect with the Dashing By (Shining Wizard) as Chance is left in seated position. Amber laid across Chance’s body in a pin as she looked to take the win right off the bat.
ONE…
TW---WAIT!!!
Chance isn’t out of this match, not by a long shot. He turned his pinning predicament into an application of the Crossface. Raven wasn’t going to allow her partner in crime go out like that. She left her position on ring apron to climb up to the turnbuckle and forcefully remove Chance from onto Amber with Diving Sitout Clothesline. Raven’s actions didn’t go unprovoked as Jason Heagerty picked the Ultimate Vixen off the mat and hoists her overhead with ease in a Military Press. Jayson proceeded to drop Raven onto top of Amber’s spine, whereas he invited Chance to collectively perform the Only Need One Chance (Jumping Curb Stomp) on both women in succession. Chance eagerly accepted the invitation and hit the ropes to come back with the Stomp, only to be met with a Show Stealer (Running Spear) from the King of Controversy. Jayson opts to intervene with a Running Big Boot as Genesis stood back up but found himself propelled across the ring as Genesis caught him in a Release Belly to Belly Suplex. What the King of Controversy didn’t account for was the referee being in the line of fire and being knocked down in the process.
Genesis then turned his attention to Justin Lockhart standing on the ring apron, since he was the last man standing on Knightmare INC’s side of the ring and beckoned him to join him into the ring and resume what they started on the last episode of Primetime. Even though he was reluctant at first, Justin Lockhart steps through the ropes and joins Genesis in the ring. As soon as the two are about to meet face to face, Amber hits Genny with a Low Blow. Raven then slides in two chairs from underneath the ring and gives one to Justin, clearly trying to convince to join the darkside just as Knightmare was doing the last show.
Prof. X: Look at these two master manipulators. I should’ve known that The Clique didn’t have a change of heart.
Francine: With Raven pulling the strings, you know she would stab her own mother in the back if it would lead to that she wanted in return.
The Carter: I can’t help but picture Emperor Palpatine saying, “Good, good. Let the hate flow through you…” right now.
So at this point, the waking members of Knightmare INC and Raven are egging Justin Lockhart on to attack Genesis. Justin Lockhart is conflicted about taking a swing as he looks back at his peers as Genesis remained down on his knees in front of him. Justin is ABOUT to make the swing, but Raven attacks Justin Lockhart with a chair from behind instead while Amber attacks the waking Chance with the chair. Jayson wisely retreats and drags Chance underneath the bottom rope to spare him from further punishment. The Clique gives chase as Genesis hits Justin with the Game Over! (Pedigree) as payback. The referee gets up, still not completely with the program nor with anything that transpited and makes the count.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
The Carter: Wait a second. Justin Lockhart wasn’t the legal man in that match. How did Genesis pick up the win there?
Francine: Your guess is as good as mine there. I’m sure Mary’s going to be chewing out someone for that blunder there.
After the commercial break, Scary Mary Joyner is standing at the top of the entrance ramp with a microphone in hand.
Scary Mary | Interim GZWA Chairwoman: “Due to the mistake from the referee made in the last match, I’m going to allow that result to stand for tonight -- BUT there will be a rematch on the next episode of Primetime as tonight’s broadcast must continue after all. For there won’t be any goof ups in this rematch, I’m making it a no disqualification match. Of course, that’s for our NEXT broadcast… Let’s focus on tonight after all.
That brings me to the three women standing in the ring right now. I know you ladies are anxious to ‘throw hands’ as the lingo goes these days, but I thought I would add an extra bit of flavor to this match. The winner of this match will be named the next #1 contender to the GZWA Women’s Championship following tonight’s main event.”
The live crowd roars in response as the three women in the ring nod in approval.
Triple Threat Match
Winner Is The Next Challenger to the Women's Championship
Zora Graysen vs. “The Guru” Danielle Bradley vs. Talia Areano
At the start of the match, all three women circle each other, until Zora and Talia clothesline Danielle over the top rope in tandem. Danielle lands safely on the ring apron as Zora and Talia remedy that situation by hitting the ropes on the opposite end of the ring and knocking Danielle’s legs out from underneath, causing to faceplant on the ring apron as she fell down to the ringside floor.
Now that they were left in the ring alone, Zora Graysen and Talia Areano looked to each other to continue this match one-on-one. Zora struck first with a Discus Clothesline and follows up with a Knee Drop once she had Talia grounded. Talia moved out of the way of the incoming Knee Drop and sprung back to her feet. She connects with the Rush Hour (Sliding Forearm Smash) as Zora was getting up from on her knees. Talia then follows up with a Standing 450 Splash and makes the cover on Zora Graysen.
ONE…
TW---WAIT!!!
The Guru returned to the action with a D-Bomb (Corkscrew Moonsault) over Talia’s spine as she was pinning Zora. Danielle threw Talia out of the ring and opts to pin Zora herself.
ONE…
TWO…
TH---NO!!!
Talia climbed back up onto the ring apron after the pin, but Danielle was quick to Super Kick her back down to the floor before turning her attention back to the waking Zora Graysen with a Float-over DDT. Zora responds with a Bridging Northern Lights Suplex to turn the tables on the Guru and pin her to the mat.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
After Danielle gets her shoulder up off the mat, Zora had no problems with standing her back up within a Gory Neckbreaker. With the Guru downed once again, Zora pounds her fist in the mat in anticipation for the Superwoman Punch as Zora beckoned Danielle to her feet. The Guru staggered to her feet as Zora closed in, but she had the awareness to react with a Snake Eyes to drop Zora onto the turnbuckle behind her. Danielle took a moment to shake off the cobwebs and connect with the D-Train (Elijah Express) into the corner. Talia returns into the action in dominating fashion as she launches herself back into the ring with a Springboard Blockbuster (Reverse Neckbreaker) to Danielle, dropping her right on top of the fallen Zora. Before the referee could make the count from this impromptu pin, Talia took to the top rope and connects with the Solar Shower (Double Foot Stomp) to both women.
Zora Graysen rolls out of the ring after the impact as Talia pulled Danielle to her feet and gave her a healthy helping of the Slice of Heaven (Sliced Bread #2). Talia hooks Danielle’s leg in a pin.

GZWA Television Championship Match
“High Spot Hero” Equinox © vs. “Tattooed Beauty” Laura Jackson
Prof. X: On our last broadcast, the Tattooed Beauty was left without a challenger as Jade Justice was unable to make the show. This urged Laura Jackson to take the microphone and lay down her own challenge, calling out any and all reigning champions in GZWA currently. Her demands was heard loud and clear as Interim Chairwoman Mary Joyner booked this Television Championship match.
Francine: Laura Jackson had a standout performance in the Women’s Riot Match at Riot Control, lasting from the #1 spot to nearly the end of the match. As a former Stardom Tag Team Classic winner and former half of the GZWA Tag Team Champions, she’s proven time and time again that she’s staple part of the GZWA roster when push comes to shove.
The Carter: Yeah, that’s one lady I wouldn’t want to mess with when it comes to throwing down.
Francine: She wouldn’t be interested anyway, Carter. Not to mention, given all of these accolades, we can’t sell Equinox short on his Television Championship reign. He’s well on his way of holding it as long as both Genesis and Mike Bradley in the past.
Prof. X: He’s definitely going above and beyond to welcome all of these challenges being thrown his way, that’s for sure - knowing full well that his title is on the line on any given night.
After the sound of the opening bell, both competitors engage in a traditional lock-up. Equinox easily gets the upper hand as he wrenches Laura’s arm back into a hammerlock position. From there, he transitions into a Rainmaker setup. As soon as Equinox spun her around, Laura stops Nox in his tracks with a point-blank Splitting Headcase (Jumping Double Knees to the head). The High Spot Hero was left reeling from the blow, which allowed Laura to continue her offense by flooring him with a Hangman’s Neckbreaker. The Tattooed Beauty proceeds to connect with a Diving Leg Drop from the top rope, only for Nox to roll out of harm’s way. Her folly left Laura in a seated position. Nox sprung back to his feet, hits the ropes and returns with Penalty Kick. He then dragged her back to her feet and sent Laura into the corner with an Irish Whip. Laura reverses the whip by sending Nox into the corner instead, he comes down with a Whisper in the Wind-style rebuttal in the form of the Rising Revolution (Corkscrew Flipping Neckbreaker). To the surprise of the Television Champion, Laura intercepts him with a Backbreaker to counter. The Tattooed Beauty took a moment to shake off the cobwebs as she left Equinox at her feet to writhe in pain.
The Carter: Laura Jackson is definitely holding her own. Can she seal the deal and walk away as the Television Champion? That’s the better question.
Prof. X: Good point. We’ve seen Equinox pull himself out of similar situations and still walk away the Television Champion.
The Tattooed Beauty dragged him to his feet. She then motioned for a Double Arm DDT, but Equinox spun out of position and retaliates by wrenching her arm in what one would expect be a Rainmaker setup, but in reality this maneuver pans out into a standing Spanish Fly. Equinox then took to the skies as he climbed to the top of the nearby turnbuckle and performed the Dark Kingdom (Swanton Bomb). Unfortunately, he crashes and burns as he hits nothing but canvas. Laura is quick to get up and connects with a Super Kick to the waking Equinox, leaving him down his knees. The Tattooed Beauty opts to finish off her prey as she applies the Nighty-Night (Headlock & Body Scissors combination). Equinox attempts to stand back up but dropped back down to his knees from the pressure of the lethal hold. The referee on hand races into position to check Equinox’s condition.
He raises his arm once… Equinox’s arm goes back down limp.
The referee repeats this again to the same result.
Prof. X: If Equinox doesn’t respond, the referee will have no choice to deem him unable to continue and name Laura Jackson the new Television Champion.
The referee raises Equinox’s arm once more, only for his arm remain limp…
That is until the last instant.
Equinox shows life as he snaps his fingers to get himself amped up. Laura Jackson reels back, looking to add more pressure to the hold, but that tactic only served to give Equinox the opening he needed. Equinox frees himself by force with a Vertical Suplex Dropped into a Double Knee Backbreaker (When The Kingdom Cries). The Tattooed Beauty bounces off his knees upon impact and lands onto the mat, whereas Equinox wasted no time making the cover.

Singles Match
“The Bouncer” Kris Williams vs. “Weapon-23” Ryan Kendrick
This match started with a brief lock-up before Kris Williams proceeded to shove Ryan Kendrick across the ring with ease. Ryan Kendrick wasn’t deterred in the least. He commando rolls back to his feet and rebounds off the ropes. He returns with a Running Clothesline but Kris doesn’t topple over from the impact. No matter, Ryan Kendricks repeats this attack again, only for The Bouncer to elevate him overhead in Gorilla Press Slam. Ryan Kendrick lands on the mat with a sickening thud and attempts to get up on all-fours. Kris Williams was quick to connect with a
Running Big Boot. Fortunately, Ryan Kendrick was able to avoid the inevitable pin attempt by rolling out onto the ring apron. Kris Williams was quick to pursue Kendrick out onto the ring apron as he steps out to perform Apron DDT. The Bouncer found himself shoved back after a well-timed Inverted Atomic Drop to counter. This gave Weapon-23 the opening he needed to charge in with a High Impact Spear to send The Bouncer crashing onto the ringside floor.
Ryan Kendrick wisely rolled back into the ring to recuperate as the referee began the Ring Out count.
The Carter: That’s one hell of hit. Kendrick could steal this one here if Kris Williams is unable to return to the ring before the count of ten!

Kris Williams barely was able to slide back into the ring underneath the bottom rope before the count of 10. Ryan Kendrick was ready to greet him as he connects with the 7th Chamber ( "Superman" Bullhammer) from the top rope as Kris Williams stood back up. With the Bouncer down, Ryan Kendrick signaled for the One-X before stepping out onto the ring apron. Ryan Kendrick lined it up to the waking Kris Williams and went for the One-X (Spiral Tap), aiming for the win. Kris stopped playing possum long enough to catch Weapon-23 out from nowhere with The Last One (Pop-up cutter). Kris Williams rolled over and covered Kendrick.

Singles Match
"The Angel of Darkness" Bella Sinclair vs. “The Blonde Bombshell” Sarah Richardson
After the sound of the opening bell, the Angel of Darkness went for the kill right off the bat. Bella Sinclair opens with a Spinning Heel Kick directly at the Blonde Bombshell’s head. Sarah Richardson manages to duck underneath the blow completely and maneuvered around Bella Sinclair to be in the prime positioning for retaliation. She does so by capitalizing on her positioning with a German Suplex transitioned into a bridging pin.
ONE…
TW---NO!!!
Bella Sinclair powers out of the pin attempt - throwing Sarah across the ring in the process. Sarah Richardson got to her feet, hit the ropes, and returned with a Running Bulldog to the waking Angel of Darkness. Bella Sinclair caught her in motion within an Atomic Drop before propelling her over the top rope and dumping her down at ringside as the members of the audience on the first few rows gasp in despair.
The Carter: That didn’t look like a good landing at all.
Francine: That’s why it’s called a crash landing in that regard.
Bella Sinclair launched herself out of the ring with an Asai Moonsault. She was aiming to land into the waking Sarah Richardson, but the Blonde Bombshell moves out of harm’s way at the last instant. Bella Sinclair hits the unforgiving ringside floor, whereas Sarah Richardson wasted no time applying the Hanging Ten (Inverted Surfboard) to the grounded Angel of Darkness, knowing full well that the referee had begun the ring out count.

To her dismay, Bella Sinclair returns in the ring before the count of 10. Sarah Richardson was ready to welcome her back to the ring in her own manner though. She did as such by Mudhole Stomping for the Angel of Darkness can’t get back up. With the Angel of Darkness still grounded, Sarah opts for the Titty Buster (Diving Double Foot Stomp aimed to the chest) out of the corner, but Bella Sinclair drops her on top of turnbuckle with a Snake Eyes to counter. The Angel of Darkness aimed to proceed with a Crucifix Powerbomb but Sarah fell forward into an impromptu Backslide Pin.

Bella Sinclair attacks Sarah Richardson from behind as her arm was being raised by the referee. The Angel of Darkness laid her to rest with the Final Destination (Widow's Peak/Gory Neckbreaker) to leave her out cold on the mat as Primetime faded to a commercial break.
Singles Match
“The Beautiful Dragon” Mei Long vs. Taralyn Skye
Mei Long offers a hand towards Taralyn Skye out of respect and sportsmanship (i.e. the Code of Honor) but she was met with a slap to the face from Taralyn instead. Taralyn then threw the reeling Beautiful Dragon overhead with a Snap Suplex. With Mei Long grounded, Taralyn added the Check Meowt (Jumping double knee drop to an opponent's midsection followed by a standing moonsault double knee drop) for good measure before going for the pin.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
After Mei kicks out, Taralyn attempts to roll her over into a Boston Crab, but Mei kicks her away and towards the ropes. Taralyn falls through the ropes and tumbles down out of the ring to the floor. Mei Long shook off the cobwebs and reached between the ropes to grab Taralyn by the hair. She attempts to drag her back into the ring by force, but Taralyn smashes a steel chair over the face of the Beautiful Dragon (found from underneath the ring), forcing her to release her grasp on her blond locks of hair. This ushers an instant disqualification from the referee, but it matters not to Taralyn. Taralyn smacks the chair onto the mat in anticipation as she beckons Mei back to her feet. Taralyn struck Mei in the midsection with the chair, causing her to double over and allowing Taralyn to follow up with a DDT onto the very same chair after dropping it to the canvas. Taralyn may have lost here tonight, but Mei Long is the one left lying on the mat as Primetime cuts to a commercial break.
Singles Match
The Grand Zabrina vs. “Showstoppin’ Senorita” Mariah
Zabrina excitedly shakes Mariah’s hand out of respect and wraps her arms around her in a hug before the opening bell. Mariah goes straight to business after the bell as she raises her hand to invite Zabrina into a lock-up. Zabrina accepts but Mariah is quick to wrench her arm in response and reels her in to deliver a Hook Kick (Booker T-style). Zabrina manages to duck underneath and rolls Mariah over with a Right Handed Schoolgirl Roll Up. Instead of pinning Mariah’s shoulders to the mat, Zabrina couldn’t resist the urge to attempt to spank her. Mariah caught her arm in the process in an armbar to prevent that from happening as she shook her head.
The Grand Zabrina clenched her teeth as she held on with the hold, but Zabrina managed to find salvation as her foot reached the bottom rope to force a break. She got up holding her arm, shaking the tension in it when Mariah charged in from behind. Zabrina turned around in the nick of time and reacted by throwing her over the top rope with a Hip Toss. Zabrina gave a sigh of relief but that action was revoked as she noticed Mariah had landed safely on the ring apron. Mariah launched herself back into the ring with a Springboard Shoot Kick, but Zabrina was able to narrowly avoid it by sidestepping out of the way. She then capitalized with a Reverse STO to floor the Showstoppin’ Senorita. With Mariah down, the Grand Zabrina saw this as her golden opportunity to pick up the win as she applied the Lancasster Dungeon (Code of Silence / Modified figure-four headscissors, often preceded by a reverse STO). Even though it took some effort on her behalf, Mariah parted Zabrina’s thighs apart and performed a handstand to free herself from Zabrina’s hold. Once back on her feet, Mariah hit the ropes and returns with the 2 Hot for TV (Booker T Scissor Kick with theatrics) on the waking Zabrina.
The Carter: See? Mariah likes to show off too! It’s not always all business too.
Francine: The difference here is that there’s always a time and place for fun and games.
Mariah took a little too long with her Spinneroonie, allowing Zabrina to stagger back to her feet and connect with a Dropkick to the Showstoppin’ Senorita as she got back on her feet. The Showstoppin’ Senorita is sent reeling back into the ropes from the blow, causing her to whiplash back towards Zabrina. Zabrina greets her on the rebound with the Zabby Shock (Wheelbarrow Bulldog), but Mariah responds with a Release Tiger Suplex. With the tables turned, Mariah beckons Zabrina to her feet as she stomps her foot in preparation for the Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music). Mariah connects with a kick to Zabrina’s jaw and quickly covers her.
ONE…

Mariah helps Zabrina to her feet after the match as Jaser Cruz could be seen standing at the top of the entrance ramp, applauding his step-sister’s performance.
The Carter: Since when did Jaser have an interest in his step-sister’s matches?
Francine: Weren’t you paying attention? Jaser wants to be the first Cruz sibling to defeat Mariah in a GZWA ring.
During the commercial break, the following vignette airs.

"The Curse" Brother Zachariah vs. Agostino Romano (debut)
Primetime returns from commercial break with this match already in progress. Brother Zachariah is shown charging towards Agostino Romano with a Running Clothesline. Romano ducks the blow and hits the ropes before returning with a Headscissor Takedown on the rebound that transitioned into an Armbar upon their impact on the canvas. This was looking like The Curse could be in trouble, but he manages to grab onto the ropes to force a rope break.
Agostino Romano sprung back to his feet and immediately went back on offense. He went for a Bulldog on the waking Curse, but Brother Zachariah was able to respond with an Atomic Drop to derail that attempt. He continues his offense first by connecting with a Side Kick to Romano’s jaw. He then took to the skies and connected with a Diving Elbow Drop from the top rope. He hooked Romano’s leg into a pin after the impact.
ONE…

NO!!!
Romano kicks out and attempts to crawl away from Zachariah. The Curse wasn’t going to allow his prey to escape not for a moment. Brother Zachariah reeled Agostino Romano back in by the arm into the Death From Above (Arm Twist Ropewalk into Flying Knee Strike). To Zachariah’s surprise, Romano hits the Diamond Cutter from out of nowhere to counter. He then scrambles up to the top rope and delivers a Frog Splash for good measure before making the cover.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
Brother Zachariah powers out of the pin attempt and returns to his feet first. He threw Romano into the corner with a Butterfly Suplex to leave him in the Tree of Woe position. This left him in the perfect positioning for a Rope-Hung variation of the Darkness Falls (Apron-Hung Big Boot). Fortunately, Romano flips up onto the top rope and responds with Reverse Hurracanrana after Zachariah got his leg caught up into the ropes. After the back of Zachariah’s head bounces off the canvas, Romano hits the Racers facebreaker (Double Knee Facebreaker) just as the Curse attempting to stand up and shake off the impact. Romano makes the cover.

Main Event: GZWA Women’s Championship Match
“The White Hawk” Vi Malkov © vs. “The Silver Screen Queen” Crystal Hilton/Christina Rose
Prof. X: Ever since Riot Control after the undefeated Vi Malkov suffered her first loss at the hands of Fujiko Mine, Vi Malkov was nowhere to be seen. That didn’t stop our interim GZWA Chairwoman from setting out to determine a new challenger for the Women’s Championship that Vi still holds. Crystal Hilton won the Women’s Riot match to earn that right that she’s cashing in on tonight.
The Carter: Crystal Hilton, better known as Christina Rose of the Hollywood fame, recently wed to Seleana Zdunich is looking to add championship gold to her list of wedding gifts.
Francine: You can’t just ask for a championship on your wedding registry or Amazon wishlist, silly. Vi’s not giving up that title without a fight. Following her loss to Fujiko, I think she’s going to be like a woman possessed tonight. I know I wouldn’t want to be Crystal out there.
The Carter: Crystal’s not one to underestimate either. She’s done everything in her power to pick up wins left and right lately to get to this opportunity.
Prof. X: Very true. Given the histories of these two women, we’re not sure what we’re going to get from these two women, but one thing is certain - these two women will give their all to determine who will walk away with the Women’s Championship.
There weren’t any pleasantries nor signs of respect exchanged at the start of this match. Crystal smirked as she held up an “L” hand gesture to her forehead to mock Vi. Vi smiled in response before striking her hard and fast with a Spinning Backfist. The blow knocks Crystal around into position for the pending Release German Suplex that followed afterwards. That maneuver doesn’t pan out as how Vi hoped as Crystal falls back down into a Reverse DDT to counter. After planting the White Hawk’s skull firmly into the mat with the Reverse DDT, the Silver Screen Queen climbs up the turnbuckle, looking to end this match early with the Lights, Camera, Action! (Jack Evans 630 Corkscrew). As Crystal made her descend, Vi puts her knees up to defend, causing Crystal to crash and burn. Vi returns to her feet and drags Crystal between the ropes as she’s holding her midsection. Once both women are out onto the ring apron, Vi Malkov wastes no time to hit Dante's Descent (Release Sheer Drop Brainbuster) on the unforgiving surface. The White Hawk smirks with a sadistic sneer as she dusts her hands off after this heinous act while Crystal Hilton rolls down to the ringside floor to recuperate.
Prof. X: I understand that the Silver Screen Queen hasn’t been in good graces with a lot of fans lately, but that’s no reason for the White Hawk to put her down for good.
Francine: What can I say, professor? It ultimately comes down to survival of the fittest in Vi Malkov’s eyes. She said it herself. She’s fought up from nothing and she’s not going to allow anything or anyone stand in her way from keeping that title.
The Carter: Did we say the wrong thing? Vi’s coming this way!
Vi ran her hands across the commentary table as she strode past. A confident smirk washed over her face as she spots Crystal’s wife, Seleana Zdunich sitting on the front row. It could be read all over Seleana Zdunich’s face that her heart was reaching out to Crystal as she was getting her bearings at ringside. Vi held none of that compassion for her adversary - the one who dared to challenge her reign as champion - and extended that lack of compassion towards Crystal’s wife. To the shock of GZWA Nation, Vi slaps her across the face. Seleana Zdunich motions to retaliate but security stood between the women as Vi continued to smirk with an air of confidence. That confidence disappears as Vi turned around to experience first-hand the retaliation from this act from the Silver Screen Queen as she connects with a Tilt-a-Whirl Tornado DDT after she performed Suicide Dive through the turnbuckles (ala Sami Zayn) to unsuspecting Vi. With her wife cheering her on, Crystal rolls Vi back into the ring and hits the Flashing Lights (Chick Kick) as she stood back up. Clearly fired up, Crystal beckons Vi to stand up again and connects with the Flashing Lights again before covering her.
ONE…
TWO…
THR---NO!!!
Crystal pounds her fist on the mat in frustration, but quickly composes herself. She climbs to the top rope and performs a Top Rope Hurracanrana to the waking White Hawk. Vi responds with a Snap Powerbomb and falls over her body in a pin of her own, looking to end it there.
ONE…
TWO…
THR---NO!!!
Crystal kicks out briefly before the count of three. Anyone could see that the frustration was beginning to consume Vi as well. The White Hawk raised the Silver Screen Queen back to her feet and into position for a Jumping Piledriver. Crystal could sense the pending danger and threw Vi overhead with a Back Toss to counter. Vi Malkov sits up after landing behind Crystal, only to be struck from behind with a Running Enzuigiri to the back of the head. Crystal raised Vi back to her feet briefly before spiking the back her head back down onto the mat with another Reverse DDT. The Silver Screen Queen had her eyes on the prize as she took to the stars again and successfully connects with the Lights, Camera, Action! (Jack Evans 630 Corkscrew).
ONE…
TWO…
THRE---WAIT???!!!
The Carter: Why did Crystal break the pin herself? She could’ve won this right here and now?
Prof. X: Your guess is as good as mine there, partner.
Crystal Hilton broke the pin herself as she sees Danielle Bradley coming down the entrance ramp.
Francine: Here comes trouble...
Danielle Bradley attempts to interfere but she’s stopped at the ring apron by the referee. The Silver Screen Queen wasn’t going to allow Danielle Bradley to ruin her moment. She took the liberty to knock off the ring apron and down to the floor from the Flashing Lights.
With the Guru disposed of, the Silver Screen Queen set her crosshairs back on the White Hawk, only to find herself spun around into the Black Song (Hammerlock hold transition into spinning lariat / CM Punk's Pepsi Twist). To the dismay of the White Hawk, Crystal ducks the incoming Lariat and hits the ropes behind Vi. Crystal then sprung off the ropes with the That’s A Wrap (Asai DDT into a Backstabber) looking to finish this match. Vi doubled over in response, dropping Crystal over her knee in a devastating Shoulder Breaker to counter the maneuver, leaving Crystal hunched over for Dante's Descent (Release Sheer Drop Brainbuster) that followed afterwards. Vi Malkov looks in disbelief that the Silver Screen Queen is still trying to get back up. No matter, the White Hawk still had several cards up her sleeve that she hasn’t played yet. Crystal returns her feet on shaky legs as Vi vises around her limbs in an application of the Essence of Life (Flying Guillotine Choke).
Prof. X: Given everything that Crystal’s endured in this match, she should be able to overcome this last hurdle to realize her dream.
Francine: True, but I don’t think Vi’s going to be letting go of that hold anytime soon.
The Carter: Seriously, what condition is Crystal in at this point of this match? She’s taken two Dante’s Descents and that nasty looking Shoulder Breaker to counter the That’s a Wrap. Her body has to be screaming to stop this late into the game.
Prof. X: This match’s outcome is going come down to how badly one of these women wants to be or to remain champion.
The Silver Screen Queen drops down to one knee as the hold began to take it’s toll. The White Hawk leaned back in response, wrenching the hold tighter. Crystal made one more valiant effort to stand back up as Seleana Zdunich watches with fear in her eyes, biting her bottom lip in anticipation. She knew full well how much this championship match means to her wife.
As Crystal sunk down to her knees in the hold, Seleana Zdunich couldn’t watch anymore from her seat at ringside. She hopped over the barricade and stood on the ring apron, hoping to encourage her wife to continue fighting. That decision is revoked as she sees up close and personal how much pain her wife is in and can’t stand the sight of it. With tears in her eyes, Seleana throws in the towel after seeing enough and not wanting to see her spouse get injured from further time within Vi’s hold.
The referee gives the signal to end this match, thus awarding Vi the victory. Vi hangs on for a few moments after the decision until finally releasing Crystal from her grasp and snatching the Women’s Championship from the official while Seleana raced to hold her wife in her arms. Vi towered over the couple, looking to strike again.
Prof. X: Hasn’t she done enough damage here tonight? There’s no need to get Mrs. Zdunich involved! She’s not even member of the talent roster.
Talia Areano raced down the ramp and slides into the ring. She makes sure to stand between Vi and Zdunich’s still down on the mat. Vi eyes Talia from head to toe, smiling at her next challenger. She slowly raised the Women’s Championship overhead as both women stared down as tonight’s broadcast comes to an end.
