[Adam Grant]

After a short video package showing the history of the Fireshock Sisters and Next Generation, we head back to the ring with Hannah standing by with her microphone.

Hannah: This next match is scheduled for one fall!

Zack: It seems like the Fireshock Sisters can’t get over coming up short more than once against Next Generation. That’s why I think Caitlyn’s been attacked, and more things set on fire. We may get some closure on this tonight, Lyn.

Lyn: We can only hope. One has to assume the Fireshock Sisters view it as having been shamed. They’ve done so much in FFW that they believe Next Generation should be below them... Which they’ve proven they simply are not.

“Going To Hell” by The Pretty Reckless hits the speakers, and the crowd is unanimous in their disapproval. Ignis walks out, carrying a cardboard sign reading “Ignis Is The Best” and hands it to one “lucky” fan at ringside.

Hannah: Making her way to the ring, from Llanfair PG, Wales, she is a self-proclaimed Wrestling God... IGNIS!!!

Ignis gives Caitlyn a cheesy smile and a thumbs up, before rolling into the ring. She climbs onto the second rope, and pumps her fist trying to start an “IGNIS” chant, which goes precisely nowhere.

Zack: Recently inducted into the Hall of Fame of FFW, Ignis is one of the most decorated women in the history of this brand. She’s also one of the most insufferable.

Lyn: It’s kinda impressive being so universally despised that you can’t even get one person to cheer you.

As the opening bars to Misfit by Amy Studt hit the speakers Caitlyn Storm appears from behind the curtain. The lights go out and a simple white pyrotechnic flashes making it look like lightning.

Hannah: Introducing at this time....Hailing from New York City, New York and weighing in at One Hundred and Twenty-Six pounds...She is Caitlyn Storm!

As the lights come back on Caitlyn makes her way down the ramp, smiling and tagging the fans hands as she passes and even stopping for a few fans to take selfies on their mobiles. She runs the rest of the way to the ring and jumps up onto the apron, then grabs onto the top rope with both hands and leap frogs over it to land in the ring. She raises her hands up waving to the fans. When she looks back to the ring, the smile turns cold for obvious reasons.

Zack: How impressive is Caitlyn Storm? On the last Future Shock Pay Per View, she showed an indomitable spirit against Harley Shannon. But it’s not about the spirit of competition here. This is personal!

Lyn: Which makes her that much more dangerous here. I think Ignis better watch out, lest she get her head kicked off.

Referee Malcolm Parks checks both women, and is about to call for the bell when Seth Star strolls towards ringside with a chorus of boos to greet him. Ignis smiles at the sight of him as she invites him onto the apron. The referee calls for the bell as Ignis holds up one finger to Caitlyn, asking for a moment before she kisses Seth for a bit….and a bit more. The redhead glances back to Caitlyn, asking for another moment as the blonde paces back and forth with growing aggravation. As the couple kiss again, the referee tries to get Seth off the apron. Caitlyn makes a beeline for Ignis, who immediately uses a mule kick between her legs to drop her. The referee sees none of it as Seth is finally going down to the floor. As Parks turns back, Ignis begins to drive elbows into the top of Caitlyn’s head repeatedly. She grabs a handful of her blonde hair and begins driving her face into the middle turnbuckle over and over again and then taking a moment to give the crowd a chance to appreciate it.

Lyn: Ignis never met an advantage she didn’t like, or an opportunity!

Zack: Let’s call that for what it was, to try and sucker Caitlyn in. There’s no other reason to be making out with a guy at the start of a match.

With Storm on her knees, Ignis rebounds off the near side and catches her with a low dropkick to the chest that puts her down on the mat. She pulls her arm flat out, and steps on her hand before stomping repeatedly on the arm and shoulder. A stomp to her fingers follows that before she steps through, and applies a Fujiwara armbar. Storm senses it coming, and immediately tries to scramble for the ropes. She finally makes it, hooking the bottom rope with her other arm before Ignis has a chance to get the hold applied. The Firebird seemed to grumble at that before dropping a knee into her shoulder. As the blonde tries to get to her feet, Ignis quickly applies a hammerlock behind her.

Zack: This right here is textbook Ignis, Lyn. I tell you what, I think she and Sophia Pike could compare notes on how to destroy someone’s arm.

Lyn: Picking apart the arm, bending it around and twisting it like a pretzel... Pike and Ignis... That’s a duo I wouldn’t want to meet.

Ignis proceeded to talk some trash behind Caitlyn’s head, further irritating the blonde as her arm was locked behind her. It only spurred her to connect with a back elbow to the side of Ignis’ head that stunned her. A second and third followed that before she broke free, and caught her with a back heel kick to the chest. Caitlyn used her other arm to unload with a series of chops before she whipped her across to the far side. A roundhouse kick met the Firebird on the rebound, and dropped her to her knees. Storm immediately hit the near side ropes as Ignis was starting to get up, and putting her down with a leg lariat.

Zack: That’s the thing with Caitlyn! Ignis likes to work arms, but Caitlyn Storm is a proficient striker and far more dangerous with those legs and feet!

Lyn: She’ll soften her up surely, but Storm’s offense will continue picking her apart. Nasty roundhouse there... And there’s a leg lariat!

Caitlyn shook her arm a moment, and took off for the ropes again. With Ignis starting to get back up once more, the blonde left her feet with a bicycle kick that caught the Firebird flush on the jaw. Caitlyn went for the cover and a hook of the leg before Parks was in position.

ONE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

TH-NOOOOPE!!

Ignis got her shoulder up before the three, and Caitlyn rolled back to her feet. She looked down at what discoloration was left of the taser shot to her abdomen and back to Ignis with a bigger scowl.

Lyn: Storm reminding herself of what the Fireshock Sisters and Seth has put her to. That doesn’t bode well for Ignis!

Zack: You just know that everyday Caitlyn looks at herself in the mirror and sees that on her abdomen, it just made her a little more angry day by day. Now it’s time for retribution!

Caitlyn yanked Ignis back to her feet, and fired her across into the far side. The Firebird struck back first with Caitlyn right behind her with a rolling koppu kick that would have floored her if she wasn’t leaning against the corner. Storm nipped up to her feet, grabbed the top rope with both hands, and unleashed a barrage of kicks to the body one after another in rapid fire succession. Storm hopped up onto the middle rope, and snapped Ignis down to the mat with a hurricanrana.

Zack: Caitlyn Storm is showing Ignis that it’s not her arms you have to worry about when you face her, look at those shots!

Lyn: ...Now that I think it Zack, has Ignis EVER faced someone like Caitlyn before? Quick as a whip, but all leg based, a lot of Ignis’s weapons simply aren’t as debilitating here.

Caitlyn headed towards the corner, and made her way to the top rope. She perched herself a moment as Ignis pulled the referee to her on the mat while Seth yanked Caitlyn’s foot out from under her. Storm landed straddling the turnbuckle before Seth hopped down. Ignis shoved the referee away, and started getting to her feet. She was clearly a little wobbly, but darted at Caitlyn with a leaping European uppercut that rocked her where she sat. The Firebird climbed up with her, and brought her down with a superplex! She quickly hooked the leg for the cover as Parks dropped to count.

Lyn: Now that’ll keep her down!

ONE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-NOPE!!!

Caitlyn kicked out before the three as Ignis climbed back to her feet with a bit of irritation on her face. She connected with a spiral leg drop before getting back to her feet again.

Zack: Ignis is certainly resilient, but with Seth out here, she’s possibly even more dangerous than she is on her own.

Ignis stomped away at Caitlyn before taking off towards the ropes. She rebounded quickly into a rolling thunder senton followed by straight right hands to Caitlyn’s head. The Firebird rolled to her feet, and took off towards the ropes. She executed a springboard splash that landed perfectly before she went for the cover again!

Zack: A FLAME WHEEL...right into the INCENDIARY BOMB!! Ignis may have it right now!

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-NOPE!!!!

Once more, Caitlyn got her shoulder up in time and put Ignis into a huff. She pressed her foot against Caitlyn’s shoulder, and executed a snap flipping over the other side. It caused Storm to yelp in pain before Ignis started to smile.

Lyn: Caitlyn’s shoulders and arms are taking every bit of punishment. That superplex did no favors and now that snapmare? Forget about it.

The Firebird went right back to work by stomping on her arm, and then jerking her to her feet. She turned it into a wristlock, and began twisting against the bone to cause even more pain. It brought Storm down to her knees as Ignis stood over her, still applying the pressure. Caitlyn gritted her teeth, and got back to her feet to deliver a standing sidekick into Ignis’ ribs. It worked well enough to cause a break before Caitlyn jerked the Firebird forward. She planted her head between her legs, and hooked both arms before dropping her face down into the mat with a facebuster! She quickly rolled her over, looking for the cover.

Zack: Ignis just got her pedigree checked, and Caitlyn’s looking to end it right now!

ONE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-NOPE!!!

Ignis managed to get her foot across the bottom rope, causing Parks to stop his count. Storm saw it, and rose back to her feet. She glanced behind her, and took off towards the ropes as Ignis was beginning to rise. When she did, Storm came off with an Asai moonsault to the delight of the crowd.

Lyn: Picture perfect moonsault!

Zack: Caitlyn barely even needs her arms and shoulders, all she needs are those legs and feet! She is positively lethal with them!

With Ignis slow to get up, Caitlyn bounded towards the ropes again. When the Firebird was vertical, Caitlyn springboarded off the middle rope into a spinning heel kick to the jaw that dropped Ignis like a rock! The fans came to their feet as Caitlyn went for the cover with a hook of the leg!

Zack: That’s the EYE OF THE STORM!!

ONE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Parks called for the bell to a pop from the crowd as Caitlyn rolled to her feet. She had her hand raised, which brought a wide smile to her face.

Lyn: You can count to thirteen after that shot! They heard the smack of boot and flesh over in Miami!

Hannah: Here’s your winner by pinfall……………………...CAITLYN STORM!!!

Zack: A gutty performance by Caitlyn Storm sees her pick up a big win over a Future Shock veteran like Ignis! She has every reason to smile.

Storm rolled out to the floor, greeting a few ringside fans with hugs and taking selfies with a couple of them. Seth rolled into the ring to tend to a very aggravated Ignis.

Lyn: There’s nothing Ignis can say here, and Seth isn’t even pulling out a taser.

With Storm heading up the ramp, Wipeout heads elsewhere.
