Message #20252

[Adam Grant]

A clip shows the recent events surrounding Angelina’s injury at the hands of Ascension, and then her return to face Ascension. We then see her partner arrive to surprise of a packed Scotland crowd, Artemis Kaiser. After that, we head back to the live show with Maggie standing in the ring.

Maggie: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.

Zack: I’ve been looking forward to this one, especially after we found out who was going to be Angelina’s partner tonight.

Mai: Leave to someone like Artemis to stick her nose into something that had nothing to do with her. No one asked for her, and no one wants to see her. I’d have been happy with Angelina going into this handicap style against the Tornado Tag Champions.

The opening chords of “Destroy & Conquer” by Future World Music begin to rattle through the arena, the curtains start to move as Valentina Lozano & Isis Morales slowly steps out onto the ramp. They are unfazed by the boos from the crowd as Valentina bends her right knee and angles her left leg, her right arm shooting up into the air with a cocky smirk with Isis standing behind her, raising her fist in the air with a cocky smirk, standing in a unified domineering pose while basking in the negative heat of the crowd. Valentina gets back to her feet and then begins to walk side by side with Isis down the aisle.

Maggie: Making their way to the ring…at a total combined weight of three hundred and sixty-five pounds....They are the reigning FFW Tornado Tag Team Champions…..”The Latin Goddess” Valentina Lozano and “The Titaness” Isis Morales... They are...

ASCENSION!!!!!!!!!

At the ringside area, Valentina and Isis walk around the ring once before entering the ring, with Valentina making her way to a waiting human stairway next to the ring: one guy on all fours next to the ring and one guy lying prone in front of him. Causally stepping on the men, Valentina walks up and walks across the edge of the ring. She then reclines against the ropes and callously looks down at the men, giving them a smirk while they get to their knees and properly grace her boots with kisses before dismissing themselves to the back. Valentina then glares towards the referee in the ring and orders the referee to hold the ropes for her, which the referee reluctantly complies with doing. She wipes her feet on the apron and enters the ring. Meanwhile, Isis enters the ring by stepping over the top rope with ease. The ladies then go to opposite ring posts in which they climb up and pose to the crowd with complete confidence, taking in the atmosphere while the crowd reaction continues and the cameras flashing.

After the ladies taunt the crowd, Valentina then goes to one of the corners to lean against.  After giving Valentina a few words and patting her on the shoulder, Isis smirks and stretches a little as they await for the bell to ring.

Zack: Ascension have been hitting on all cylinders of late. They regained the Tornado Tag Titles, and Valentina has been packing points on the Global Wars scoreboard along with her replacement partner, Shaw.

Mai: I think Shaw should join Ascension. Do you know what an amazing crew that would be? And then they could get Isis a honorary Canadian citizenship too!

The techno beat of Britney Spear’s “Work Bitch” hits over the speakers and out walks Angelina Fantastica in a pair of pink aviator sunglasses and a matching satin baseball jacket with “Fantastica” emblazoned on the back in white script. She struts down the ramp, high-fiving fans and blowing kisses to the crowd as she works her way toward the ring.

Maggie: Introducing from Staten Island, New York… she is Angelina Fantastica!

As she gets to the end of the ramp Angelina takes a few steps back, tosses her jacket and sunglasses to the side, and takes a running leap toward the ring, somersaulting over the top rope and landing on her feet with a bright smile, stretching out her arms to wave to the crowd before making her way to her corner.

Zack: Believe it or not, this is Angelina’s first main roster Pay Per View since joining FFW. And you can bet she has every intention of making it a successful outing.

Mai: Maybe if she’s lucky, someone will yank her arm completely out of socket this time and she won’t be able to pop it back into place like she did in Future Shock. Then she can sit out till next Global Wars, if we’re lucky.

Zack: What an asinine comment, but….here we go!

Sounds of thunder and lightning cast out, setting the atmosphere of the incoming Conqueror. The lights in the arena die out to allow for the spontaneous bursts of light that reflect the internalized storm.  As the silence takes hold, the startling opening guitar screech of Rammstein’s “Sonne” overtakes everything. It is followed by the infamous countdown.

“EINS, ZWEI, DREI, VIER, FUNF, SECHS, SIEBEN, ACHT, NOIN, AUS!”

“Blacklands” by Castle blasts the arena with its heavy, thrashing instrumentals as the lights in the arena fluctuate through a rapid cycle of dark blues and neutral colors. From the darkness of the entranceway, the shine of a metallic mask catches the camera’s attention. Artemis Kaiser, garbed in her striking entrance piece, steps onto the stage with her head lowered. She stands there, a pensive essence radiating from her short and stocky frame. She raises her head for the crowd to see past the shadows her hood casts. She starts to make her way down the ramp, further casting out her overall serious personality. Each step is methodical, made to set the atmosphere. She stops at the center of the ramp, lowering her head for the announcer call. As it comes, she lifts her hands to her hood and mask, removing both.

Maggie: And her partner, she hails from Mt. Pearl, Newfoundland, Canada…...please welcome back……’THE LAST EMPRESS’ ARTEMIS KAISER!!!!

As the call concludes, the shot shows Artemis revealing her face to the camera and the audience. The red streak, her scowl, and her stern expression completing all she wishes to do in her entrance. She continues her way down the ramp, taking off her jacket. She throws it nonchalantly onto the ground and ascends the ring apron. She steps around it, taking a fine look around the arena until she rests on the side of the ring. She raises her arms up beside her and leans her head back. As she emits a determined roar,  the camera zooms back on command. It starts to come back in as she lowers her head, glaring into the camera lens. She enters the ring through the second rope with a stylish roll.

She lands on a crouched knee, and starts to rise from the position slowly. She climbs the nearest turnbuckle, giving a full look around the expansive setting. She proclaims to everyone about who is she is and that all the eyes are on her. Artemis’s attention turns to the ring, where she seats herself on the second turnbuckle, propping her legs on the ropes. Her focus gathers itself to a point while she awaits for the opening bell.

Zack: We haven’t seen Artemis Kaiser in a FFW ring competing in quite some time, and it sounds to me like she’s been well missed! The Staples Center is giving her a rockstar ovation!

Mai: I haven’t missed her. I told you I hate short people. She even has short hair. Everything about her is short, and I’m looking forward to watching Isis and Valentina make Artemis-kabobs.

Referee Jennifer Stringer checks all four women for foreign objects, and then calls for the bell to start the match. Isis heads for her team’s corner, while Artemis and Angelina confer briefly before Fantastica starts. Angelina beams ear to ear as she looks out over the packed crowd, and wastes zero time in rush Valentina. She surprises Lozano with a double leg takedown before she begins to unload with furious right hands from the mount position. Lozano manages to roll her off, and Angelina gets back up quickly. Lozano barely has time to do the same before Angelina pastes her with a discus elbow to the jaw, and then unloads with rapid fire kicks to the body that double her over in pain. With the crowd solidly behind her, Angelina rebounds off the near side and delivers a tornado DDT. She pops back to her feet, and shouts into the crowd.

Zack: Angelina seems like she got shot out of a cannon, and she’s taking the fight right to Valentina. I’m not sure Lozano was expecting all of this.

Mai: Of course, she wasn’t. She expected a sense of fair play, not jumping someone before they were ready. Ascension never does things like that, Zack.

As soon as Valentina had started to rise, Angelina hammered a trio of European uppercuts into her head. Lozano was rocked backwards before she got fired across to the far corner. She struck back first before Angelina darted towards her, running up the ropes at her side and snapping off a hurricanrana to spike her onto the canvas. Fantastica nipped up to her feet, and hit the ropes again. This time, she caught Isis unaware with a flying forearm that sent her off the apron to her feet on the floor. The redhead’s eyes flashed as she immediately climbed back up onto the apron, and was trying to get in when the referee went to intercept her.

Mai: Why in the name of God would you specifically try to piss that woman off?! Seriously! Are we sure it was just an ankle injury? There had to be head trauma!

Zack: Angelina is one of those types who doesn’t care how big the opposition is. And besides that, she’s proven she can beat the Titaness before!

Stringer managed to talk Isis back into her corner as Angelina pulled Valentina to her feet. She sent her into her team’s corner, and followed her with a Stinger splash. With Valentina leaning against the wrong team’s corner, Angelina lowered her shoulder and delivered a trio of shoulder blocks into her ribs before asking the crowd if they wanted Artemis. They gave a resoundingly positive response to that, and Artemis got the tag. Kaiser stepped into the ring, nodding her head as she listened to the very loud crowd chanting her name. And when she turned back to Valentina, she struck her with a Stockton slap!

Zack: Los Angeles is ready to see Artemis throw hands for the first time in a while, and...OH MY! That slap ECHOED through the Staples Center!

Mai: Don’t take that shit, Valentina! Break her damn neck! How dare Artemis do something like that to a woman of Valentina’s stature?!

Valentina’s eyes widened as she held her face, and Artemis started firing right hands right to her head. Kaiser shoved her back into the corner when she tried to leave, and then unloaded with a torrent of knife edge chops to the chest. She snapped off a belly to belly suplex onto Valentina before grabbing her head into a gator roll. Kaiser rolled them all around the ring before she pulled her to her feet, and laid in repeated knees to the head. With Lozano staggered, Kaiser put her down with a spinning backfist prior to tagging Angelina.

Zack: I have to tell you I am more than a little surprised with how well these two are working together. They’ve never teamed together before, but you wouldn’t know it!

Mai: We call that dumb luck, Zack. It’s not as though Ascension had any tape to study of the team together, this is really unfair for them honestly.

Angelina immediately headed up top, and came down with an elbow drop to the chest. She shooked Valentina’s leg into a cover as Stringer moved to count.

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Mai: Clearly Angelina is a religious woman, Zack. Because only by prayer could you hope to put Valentina away that quickly!

Lozano kicked out as the two came down, and Angelina popped right back to her feet. She jerked the Tornado Tag Champion up to her feet, hammering a few shots in before she took off for the far side. She left her feet on the rebound, only for Lozano to grab her around the waist and fall backwards into a stun gun. Fantastica’s neck landed across the top rope, causing her to stagger and cough heavily. Valentina got back to her feet, and only made matters worse with a German suplex into the corner. Angelina’s head and neck hit the top turnbuckle on the way down before she collapsed on the mat.

Zack: Angelina had things well in hand till that stun gun derailed everything. You know as well as I do that Valentina is going to show zero mercy now.

Mai: What do you want her to do? Throw her a tea party? Angelina wanted some payback, well...now she’s getting what always comes along with that: a beating.

Lozano pulled her out by the feet, and then catapulted her head first into Ascension’s corner. She landed across the top turnbuckle before Valentina tagged Isis. The former Future Shock Champion stepped in, and jerked Angelina into a powerbomb position. Lozano headed up top, and snapped her down with a diving leg drop. She rolled out to the floor while Isis planted a boot on Angelina’s chest for a cover.

Zack: They call that CRASH AND BURN! And there’s Isis with a terrible cover!

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!

She shoved Isis’ foot off her chest as the two struck. The redhead looked down at her with a shake of her head. She pulled her to her feet, and into a fireman’s carry. Morales walked to the center of the ring, and repeatedly dropped Angelina across her knee. Six times she connected with it before a fallaway slam nearly sent Angelina rolling out of the ring.

Mai: There you go, Isis. Break her back! No one will miss her. She and her whole family are useless anyway, you know. I heard they all went to school by getting out of the same trunk.

Angelina began to try to move towards her corner with Isis circling around behind her. She let her crawl fairly close before she yanked her to her feet. Repeated blows to Fantastica’s lower back landed before Isis scooped her up high into a gorilla press. She held her there for a couple seconds before walking out from under her. Fantastica plummeted to the mat with a smack, and Isis moved to the corner and piefaced Artemis off the apron. Kaiser landed on her feet, and bolted into the ring before Stringer could intercept her.

Mai: Look at Artemis over here trying to cheat! She’s not the legal woman in this match, she needs to stand in the corner and look up the middle rope like she’s been doing.

Zack: You do know she will listen to this commentary back when she watches the match later, right? In any event, Isis is enjoying herself at Angelina’s expense.

This brought a tiny smile to Isis’ face before she pulled Fantastica up, and put her into position for a powerbomb. Stringer finally got Artemis back to the apron as Isis hoisted Angelina onto her shoulders. As soon as she did though, the New Yorker began firing right hands into her head repeatedly. The crowd came to their feet as she countered out of the move with a 720 degree DDT that dropped Isis right on top of her head. The crowd began to chant her name as Angelina started looking for her corner. When she found it, she began to make progress towards it while Valentina shouted to Isis to stop her. The redhead sat up with a dazed look on her face just as Angelina lunged into her corner, and made the tag. Kaiser stepped through the ropes, and immediately bolted towards Isis with a knee trembler to the head before she could get up. Artemis hit the far side ropes, and came back with a handspring enzuigiri as Isis was getting up. It put her right back down!

Zack: Artemis had been waiting on that tag for quite a while, and now she’s taking the measure of the most dominant woman in the history of Future Shock!

Mai: Yeah, while she’s down! Where was all this bravado when Isis was fresh? I’ll tell you where, standing on the apron and wishing she could see over the middle rope. That’s where!

Artemis doubled back to the corner, and crouched for a moment as she watched Isis begin to get back to her feet. When the redhead was almost there, Kaiser bolted towards her and connected with a Superman punch! But it didn’t put her down, as Isis merely staggered backwards on her feet. The brunette took off for the far side again, and rebounded quickly. Isis tried to back body drop her, but Kaiser caught her with a kick to the chest instead as she was popped into the air. The redhead staggered still, and finally Artemis hit the ropes and came back with a second Superman punch that floored the Titaness! The crowd came to its feet as she fell, and Artemis made the cover!

Zack: Two FALCON PUNCHES and a CHESTBURSTER has put the Titaness down, and Kaiser with the cover!

ONE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

THR-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE!!!!

Valentina pulled her off the cover by her feet, causing Artemis to roll to her back and start kicking her with both feet in the chest like a bicycle. She popped back up, and hoisted Valentina onto her shoulders for what looked to be a Death Valley driver but a boot in the face from Isis stopped that.

Mai: That was fun to watch! And the best part about kicking Artemis in the face is you can’t possibly make her any uglier, so that’s gotta be consoling for Webster there.

Isis yanked Artemis to her feet in a rear waistlock before Valentina caught her with a superkick. Morales immediately used the momentum, and drove her into the mat with a vicious German suplex. The Titaness immediately went for a cover as Angelina came back, making a beeline for her partner before Valentina intercepted her.

Mai: There’s the SUPERKICK-PLEX! Li’l Napoleon’s gonna lose!!

ONE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-NOPE!!!

Artemis popped her shoulder up in time before the three, causing Isis to glare at referee Jennifer Stringer. Angelina and Valentina were unloading on one another against the ropes as Ruby Tyler headed towards the ring.

Zack: This match has completely disintegrated into nothing more than a brawl! There’s Ruby Tyler, and I have a bad feeling why she may be coming out right now!

Valentina caught Angelina with a headbutt to the nose that sent her through the ropes to the floor. Isis got back to her feet as Ruby snatched the ring bell from the time keeper. Isis yanked Artemis to her feet, and held her up for Ruby while Valentina kept the referee occupied.

Mai: There you go, Ruby! Take her little head off with the bell! I’ll tell you what, she’s really growing on me, Zack!

Ruby stared at Artemis in Isis’ grip, and muttered something to herself. She then shouted to the referee, who turned around to see her kick Artemis in the stomach. Stringer immediately called for the bell as Isis and Valentina looked thunderous.

Zack: What the hell?! Ruby…..she got the referee’s attention so she could see her kick Artemis, and--

Maggie: The winners of the match by disqualification………..ARTEMIS KAISER AND ANGELINA FANTASTICA!!

Mai: She did that on purpose! Good help is so hard to find these days, Zack!

As Ruby glanced over to Valentina, Isis blasted her with a boot to the head. She yanked her up into a full nelson as Valentina slapped her across the face, shouting at her that she worked for her now. A full nelson slam from Isis planted Ruby on the canvas as Lozano told her she wouldn’t tolerate anything like that again. The pair left the ring amid a chorus of boos.

Mai: See, that’s how you keep the help in line, Zack. You treat them like migrant workers, and sometimes you have to slap them around a bit.

Zack: Did she say Ruby works for her now? I don’t….I don’t understand this at all. Artemis and Angelina get a moral victory here tonight, but there’s….a lot more to this story than we’re getting.

Angelina and Artemis check on Ruby and help her to her feet. As they do that,  the show cuts to a commercial for the merch site.





Maggie: The following match is part of the Global Wars series and it is scheduled for one fall to a finish.

The lights in the arena go off before a single purple spotlight hits the stage. As the opening bars of Wild Side by Cross My Heart Hope To Die starts to play Missy appears at the entrance way. Missy stands perfectly still, as her head stays bent, looking towards the ground and her manager Christian Kincaid walks out to stand behind her.

I've been on my best behavior
But I've heard that good girls finish last
And once you're gone they say no one can save you
But who knows if I go I may never want to ever come back
We've all fell victim to temptation
It seems that I'm the last one holding on
What's the use in fighting for my salvation
And why does it feel so damn right to want to be so wrong

At the side of Missy purple lights flash on and off, looking almost like fireworks, causing a wave of oohs and cheers to escape from the crowd. As the lights subside, Missy raises her arms up to the air and a single white spotlight accompanies the move.

I just wanna dance with the devil tonight
I wanna know what it feels like
I wanna close my eyes, put my hands in the sky
I wanna walk on the wild side

Maggie: Introducing at this time…. Hailing from Leeds, England and weighing in at One hundred and twelve pounds… she is MIIIIISSSSSY!

Missy makes her way down the ramp to the ring keeping her eyes straight ahead, focussing on the ring, with Christian following a few steps behind. When she reaches the ring she slowly climbs the steel steps, building the crowd to fever pitch with anticipation, she climbs elegantly between the bottom and middle rope and climbs up onto the middle rope. She smirks before blowing a kiss out to the crowd as her theme music ends.

Zack: With the Global Wars Battle Royal within touching distance now, Missy will be trying to make up some points to pad the Team England score beforehand.

Scarlett: Can we just go ahead and start calling it Team Missy already? That seems to be what everyone else is calling the team.

“Something New” starts up over the speakers, and the jeers have almost drowned out the music before Brazilian Storm have even arrived (though in fairness, the beginning is pretty quiet). Yellow, green and blue spotlights dance around the arena, while the tron shows images of both halves of the team in action. Suddenly, the music stops and the tron cuts out...only for the sound of crashing thunder to echo loudly through the arena.

Love to hate,
Repeating my mistakes.
But there’s no one left to listen,
No one left to listen.
Take a chance, and fuck the consequence
When there’s no one left to listen,
No one left to listen.

As a curtain of dry ice smoke fills up the entrance stage, the two Brazilian wrestlers walk up to the top of the ramp together, with their manager Kyle Kilmeade right behind them and their championship belts across their shoulders. Once there, they look over the booing crowd with matching smirks on their face before they stop for a pose: Bianca goes to a knee and opens her arms wide in the Witch of the Winds pose, as Mel does her own pose, twirling on her feet and taking a soft dip of a bow, also with her arms open. After a couple of seconds in that pose, Bianca lunges forth and twirls herself, as Mel swings an arm, and the best friends indulge in a loud high-five, using the breastplates of their titles. Then, side by side, they walk down the entrance ramp, with their manager following them with a lonely round of applause.

Right now! We’re taking control!
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for something new!
Right now! We’re taking control!
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for something new!

Maggie: And her opponent, escorted to the ring by Mel Avilo and Kyle Kilmeade… From Porto Alegre, Brazil… She’s the FFW Unity Tag Team CHAMPION… BIANCA SALVADOR!!!

Instead of going straight to the ring though, the girls walk up to a camera, getting right up to the lens with their mischievous smirks. As Bianca flexes her biceps for the gun show, making sure that it’s the arm holding the belt as she kisses the main plate, Mel’s smirk becomes a grin as she gives the camera, and the viewers at home, some choice words about their opponents while pointing to her own belt, reminding the fans who the champions are. After that, the best friends roll into the ring and move to opposite turnbuckles, climbing onto the second rope and staring into the booing crowd with their titles held high, only to wave them off and regroup, going to their corner. Bianca sits on the top turnbuckle and Mel jumps out of the ring. The blonde then hands her championship belt over to Kyle and waits for her match to begin while strategizing with her manager and her best friend.

Zack: This is Bianca’s first time in the ring since her brutal last woman standing match against Andi Takata over in Future Shock.

Scarlett: I want to think that means she will be rusty, but I think it will just have her more fired up to get some more points for Brazil instead.

Referee Melinda Davis gives the girls a cursory check for anything untoward as Maggie leaves the ring, before calling for the bell to get the match started. Both women look as if they were going for a collar and elbow tie up, but Bianca changes her mind and grabs Missy by the head, and drags her forward to deliver a knee straight into her face. Bianca follows with a short knee aimed towards Missy’s ribs, but the Leeds native jumps back quickly to avoid it. Undeterred, Bianca aims another one to the same spot, and it catches Missy in the stomach as she tries to avoid it. Grabbing Missy by the shoulders, Bianca fires three more in quick succession hitting her ribs with each, the final one freezing Missy in place for a moment with a pained expression.

Scarlett: I hate being right sometimes! Bianca is making up for her time away, and Missy is on the receiving end.

Zack: If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t be aware that Bianca had been away at all. There’s nothing lacking in her offense.

Capitalizing on that straight away, Bianca grabs Missy by the wrist and uses a short-arm clothesline to knock the English wrestler to the canvas. Keeping her grip she pulls her back up, just to knock her straight back down again. Another follows, and another, only after the fifth in a row does Bianca release Missy’s arm to leave her laying on the canvas. Pulling her back up to feet by the head, Bianca fires Missy across into the ropes and catches her on the rebound with a swinging DDT that flattens the Leeds native.

Zack: Bianca almost turned Missy inside out and the Team England member still hasn’t had a single chance to respond yet.

Scarlett: She’s just biding her time, she’ll bounce back!

Bianca steps between Missy's legs, grabs both of them, and twists them into a knot around their leg. Holding them in place, she steps over and turns Missy over, to lock in a sharpshooter. She leans back into it to apply as much pressure as possible to the Missy’s legs. The Leeds native yells out, which just makes Bianca smile and lean further back into the hold. Davis drops down in front of Missy to asks if she wants to give up but she gets a very definite no in response.

Scarlett: Missy doesn’t give in too easily, so I hope Bianca is ready to have to hold that position for a while.

Zack: There’s only so long that you can go being twisted in that position though. It is clearly already taking it’s toll on Missy’s leg. You can see it on her face.

Scarlett: That’s probably just indigestion.

Realising her position Missy reaches out in front of her and grabs hold of the bottom rope, prompting Davis to call for the break. Bianca waits until the count of four before complying and only then releases Missy. Hopping back to her feet with a smile on her face, Bianca looks to Mel and Kyle on the outside who give her some words of praise. The Leeds native slowly gets back up to her feet, using the ropes to steady herself. Just as she reaches her feet, Bianca charges and clotheslines her over the top rope, but instead of hitting the floor she lands in her manager’s arms who gently sets her back on the apron with a couple of words of encouragement as he does.

Zack: Christian really should consider just wearing a giant catchers mitt when he comes out for Missy’s matches.

Scarlett: I think she owes him a muffin basket at the very least.

Spotting her back on the apron and talking to her manager, Bianca takes off towards Missy going for a baseball slide, but at the last moment Christian spots her and warns his client. Missy reacts quickly, grabbing hold of the top rope and leap frogging over it to land back in the ring, avoiding the slide and leaving Bianca’s legs to slide under the bottom rope. Turning back, Missy grabs the top rope and uses it to steady herself as she starts to unleash a barrage of kicks into Bianca’s back. She manages to get five off before Davis orders her to break, she gets another three stiff shots into the centre of the Typhoon’s back before finally breaking on the four count and backing up away from her.

Scarlett: Yes! Missy is finally getting her chance to respond and those kicks are a nice way to warm herself up.

Zack: It would have been better if she had started warming up before the match, or at least sooner than this. Bianca is fully warmed up already as we’ve seen from the way she took Missy to task early on.

Before Bianca can pull herself fully back from under the bottom rope, Missy takes off towards her with a shining wizard that flattens her to the canvas. Pulling the Brazilian away from the ropes, Missy guides her to her feet by the head, before taking off towards the ropes. She uses them to rebound off, heading back towards Bianca at speed. Bianca drops down to her stomach to avoid the English wrestler. Missy corrects herself in time and jumps over the prone Bianca to continue on to the opposite set of ropes. Rebounding off those she comes back as Bianca gets back to her feet, and just as the Brazilian turns, Missy leaves her feet for a dropkick that connects with Bianca’s ribs and puts her on her back with a thud. Without skipping a beat, Missy floats over for the cover and Davis drops down into position for the count.

Zack: Missy is going for a cover. With both of these women in the Battle Royal later, neither are going to want this match to go longer than absolutely necessarily.

ONE!!!

T-NOOOOOOOOOOPE!!!

Bianca gets her shoulder up and Missy rolls straight back to her feet and heads to the nearest corner. As the Leeds native eyes her fallen opponent, she squats down in the corner with her hands together and elbows between her legs. She then springs up to her feet, and heads for the top rope.

Scarlett: We all know what that means! LI’L MISS MISCHIEF is on her way.

The English wrestler steadies herself and prepares to launch herself off with her top rope frog splash, but before she can the rope wobbles underneath her foot and she crashes to the canvas. She pulls herself up tentatively and looks behind her to see Kyle on the apron. He shrugs his shoulders to say he doesn’t know what happened and Missy takes off towards him looking furious.

Scarlett: …. Or at least it was on it’s way before that crash landing courtesy of Kilmeade airways.

Kyle steps back out of her arms reach when she reaches the ropes, and Davis makes her way over to stop Missy from leaving the ring. With the referee distracted by the furious Missy trying to reach Kyle, Bianca gets back to her feet and comes behind Missy using a shoulder tackle to knock the Leeds native into the ropes. Missy bounces off and as she turns around, Bianca grabs her and uses a DDT to drop her on her head. Quickly flipping her onto her stomach, Bianca sits on Missy’s back and grabs her arms, crossing them under her chin to lock in her Straightjacket choke with one foot forcing against the back of Missy’s neck.

Zack: ELEGANT DECADENCE from Bianca and we could be about to see Missy’s first loss since she arrived on the main roster.

Scarlett: Don’t discount her just yet, she is pretty resilient you know.

Zack: There’s not much resilience can do for you when you have somebody like Bianca strangling you with your own arms and stepping on your neck!

Missy immediately starts to struggle against her own arms, but Bianca just pulls tighter, applying more pressure and starting to cut off Missy’s air. Davis crouches in front of the English wrestler to see if she wants to give up, but she shakes her head no and then looks as if she is gesturing towards the rope behind the referee. It takes Davis a moment to realise and when she turns around she sees nothing.

Scarlett: Wait.. Missy got her foot on the bottom rope then. Kyle knocked it off before the referee turned around!

Zack: She needs to do something soon, there is only so long a person can stay awake while being choked, she either needs to escape, give in or pass out.

Davis asks again if Missy wants to give in, this time she doesn’t get a response straight away. After asking again, Missy gives a weaker response to say no. Christian tries to offer Missy some encouragement to keep her going, but she barely responds. Missy manages to get her foot on the rope for a second time, but Kyle dashes straight to knock it off. Spotting Kyle and Missy’s foot, Christian takes off towards him, but Mel stands in his way, slowing him down as he has to sidestep the Brazilian wrestler. Davis looks behind her, but Kyle has already knocked Missy’s foot of the rope before she does.

Zack: Missy is running out of options, if she isn’t passed out already, it won’t be long before she is.

Scarlett: I think she’s already out, she’s not struggling against the hold anymore.

Still getting no response from Missy, Davis raises her hand and then lets it go, it drops straight to the canvas. Davis repeats the process for a second time and again her hand drops straight to the canvas. From the outside Mel and Kyle watch with a smile as the referee lifts and drops Missy’s hand for the third time. As it hits the canvas Davis gets back to her feet and calls for the bell.

Maggie: You winner via submission………………. ‘The Typhoon’ BIANCA SALVADOR!

Zack: Bianca Salvador has just added five points to Team Brazil’s total and broken Missy’s undefeated streak…. With some help from her manager and tag team partner.

Kyle and Mel get back into the ring, with Mel raising one of Bianca’s hands, while Davis raises the other. Kyle directs both girls to look at the Global Wars scoreboard where five points have just been added to Brazil’s total.

Scarlett: I… am.. actually kinda speechless right now.

Christian climbs into the ring to check on the still passed out Missy, as Bianca, Mel and Kyle leave the ring and make their way to the back. The camera focuses on their smiling faces before cutting elsewhere.
