FFW Breaking Point - August 18, 2018

[Adam Grant]

Live from the KFC Yum Center in Louisville, Kentucky
August 18, 2018

Fireworks shoot into the night sky to make the FFW logo. As that fades out, we head inside the arena to a very raucous live crowd as “Money and the Power” by Kid Ink begins to play. The fans get a great deal louder as they hear the COO’s music seconds before Seth Star appears at the top of the ramp.

Maggie: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Chief Operating Officer of FFW…...SETH STAR!

Money and the power
Once you get a 'lil they just want to take you down (cause)
I got the money and the power
Once you get a 'lil they just want to take you down (cause)
We’ve been going hard for too long
Can’t get enough, what is you on?
Really ain’t nothing, I could drop that
Wake up in the morning, make it all back

Seth heads towards the ring, looking out over the fans as he heads up the steps and into the ring. Maggie hands him a microphone, to which he thanks her before she steps out. He gives a short bow to the fan reaction as his music fades out.

Seth: It is my privilege to inform you that my sister, Samantha Star, is NOT here tonight.

This causes an even louder reaction from the crowd, to which Seth seems to share their enthusiasm as he nods his head.

Seth: First of all, I’d like to address what happened to me Unstoppable 9. There is no need for an investigation over who attacked me. I saw them myself, and it was the two thirds of the Franchise who weren’t in the ring with my girlfriend, Savannah Taylor. That’s the Brazilian Storm.  And while my sister fined them the exorbitant amount of fifty dollars…

He rolled his eyes as he said it.

Seth: I’m afraid the decision they made is going to be far more costly from me. You see, I am not a wrestler. I have no desire to ever be a wrestler. So what was perpetrated on me at Unstoppable 9 is legally defined as assault and battery. And after consulting with an attorney, I could have both women charged as such. Would you like to see the Brazilian Storm arrested and put behind bars?

The fans seemed to like this idea very much, and made plenty of noise to show their agreement as the COO smiled.

Seth: While I am well aware my sister would provide them with top notch legal help to fight the case, the fact remains that I doubt she really wants to see them in court for the next 3 or 4 months. That would leave her new pet, Jo McFarlane, alone. And we’ve all seen that none of them really like working alone. So while you are in England, dear sister, I am going to give you a choice to make. You enjoy making me pick, it’s only fair I return the favor. One choice is that I pursue legal action, and keep the Brazilian Storm and you tied up with lawyers and court dates well into 2019. Which...I wouldn’t mind doing, but you might. The other option is I don’t do that, and you remove the oversight you have placed on me booking the Franchise. I want to be able to book them without your permission or involvement. Because if you don’t, I have no problem keeping them from FFW as they prepare for what is a very open and close case that can see them serve jail time for several years. That, dear sister, is your choice.

The fans seem to like the idea of the Storm going to jail, which is loudly echoed with a “LOCK THEM UP” chant from the Kentucky crowd.

Seth: I look forward to her response. Now as for the days ahead, there’s a lot going on as there always is. Unstoppable 9 was the most successful show FFW has ever put on from a financial standpoint. And that is owed to everyone watching, as well as the women in the back. And for that, I thank all of you. Next, however, is Sin & Sacrifice, a show that has as much history behind it as Unstoppable does. Several matches have already been announced, and I assure you more are coming...perhaps as soon as tonight. But what I keep getting asked about as I traverse the country is a newer event that has drawn an abundance of intrigue since its inception. That event will be the third annual Global Wars in November.

This also gets a fairly positive response.

Seth: Already two teams have been announced, including Team Scotland’s Jo McFarlane and Valerie Gardner as well as Team England’s Lilly Arthur and the Evolution Champion Missy. More teams are coming, but this year, I am changing the formula a little. It’ll still be teams representing various countries, but it’s what happens at the end that matters most. Because at Global Wars in the battle royal this year, it’s going to be every woman for herself at that point. And the sole winner of that match will earn herself either a Fast Track, No Surrender, Evolution, Ultraviolence, or Unity Tag Title shot at the next Pay Per View. No more Pick Your Poison, it’s gonna be Pick Your Title at Fury.

Seth pauses for a few seconds, letting it sink in before he continues.

Seth: With that said, I have a few things to attend to tonight. I’m going to see to it that a few get what they deserve. In the meantime, we have one hell of a show tonight. So let’s get to it.

As his music begins again to quite a bit of fanfare, the show fades out to the opening video of Breaking Point. The FFW logo flashes across the screen. We see Kaoru Asaka sitting in a cubicle dressed in a business suit as five people stand around her pointing fingers and giving her a lot of flack. The clock hand on the wall behind her continues to spin through hours as Kaoru’s face gets more and more angry.  “One of a Kind” by Breaking Point begins to play.

The monitor behind her shows a series of clips including Steph Stefano delivering a punt kick, Scarlett Silver looking at her reflection in a full length mirror with her manager behind her, Next is an arena dance party with Rose Gardner in the ring, Angelina Fantastica delivering a hip check to the head, and Isis Morales crushing a globe in her hands.

Next we find Kaoru erupting out of her seat, and starting to throw punches at the suits yelling at her. Punches all around before she tears the suit off she’s wearing to reveal her ring attire, and then reaches under her desk to pull out a sledgehammer. She looks at it for a second, and heads out of her cubicle.

The next clip shows Valerie McKinley looking up in front of her manager as money rains down around her, bringing a wide grin to her face, Sophia Pike applying her armbar submission in the ring, Kelly Kincaid delivering her headlock driver, and Artemis Kaiser giving a Stockton Slap across the face.

Then we find Kaoru taking the sledgehammer and crashing it through a glass door into one of the offices. She brings it down across the desk, putting a hole in it before firing it at some of the pictures on the wall. One of them is a poster of her with the words “tsundere dragon”, which she takes great pride in destroying. She heads out of the office into the parking lot, leaving holes in the wall as she passes with her sledgehammer. When she finds the boss’ car parked in a handicap space, she swings the sledgehammer around and crashes it through the windshield and setting off the alarm before the Breaking Point logo appears on the screen.

We then go to a live shot as the packed crowd roars as multi-colored spotlights flash all over the arena as the theme continues to play over the PA system.





Maggie: The following contest is scheduled for one fall to a finish!!

Zack: You can call it #BattleOfTheBiancas, folks. Because that’s what’s coming up next here tonight in Louisville.

Mai: Only one Bianca can rule them all, Zack. And I personally prefer the less whiny one and member of the Franchise.

“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. 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. 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: Introducing first, escorted to the ring by Mel Avilo and Kyle Kilmeade… From Brazil… 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, kissing the bulging muscle, Mel’s smirk becomes a grin as she gives the camera, and the viewers at home, some choice words about their opponents. 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, only to wave them off and regroup, going to their corner. Bianca sits on the top turnbuckle and Mel docks herself there, as they wait for their match to begin while they strategize, Kyle joining in their conversation.

Zack: This isn’t the first time we’ll see the Franchise in action tonight. Mel Avilo will be facing Andi Takata later in the show.

Mai: The only shame, Zack, is that the Franchise can’t fill every show every week. That’s a ratings spike someone like Stefano can only fantasize about...while she eats doughnuts.

I told ya, baby
Uh-oh
I told ya

The arena darkens as “Rockstar 101” by Rihanna begins to play before the camera takes us behind a woman with purple hair. She steps out onto the stage, raising her hand and making a fist as the camera looks over her shoulder. She tosses her sunglasses on her head out to the crowd as she heads towards the ring.

Rocking these diamonds
I'm rocking this chain
Make sure you get a picture
I'm rocking my fame

Maggie: Introducing from Atlanta, Georgia, this is the Princess of the Reed family……...BIANCA REED!!!!

Bianca climbs up onto the apron, drops into a split before sliding under the bottom rope to the inside. She brings her legs together and hops to her feet, already making eye contact with her opponent and running them down verbally while her music fades and before the bell even rings.

Mai: Hey, it’s the Future Shock Chump! I saw her match at Wipeout, and I have to tell you I laughed so hard, I almost snorted out vodka.

Zack: Shame you couldn’t have. Bianca Reed is an outstanding talent, and is in sniffing distance of two championships, as far as I’m concerned.

Mai: Only thing she can sniff, Zack, is her fingers. Valerie was better than her, and so is the “Typhoon” she’s about endure.

Malcolm Parks ordered Mel to the floor, warning her to stay out of the match before he checked with both Bianca’s to find out if they were ready for the contest to begin and called for the bell. The pair circled each other, Reed continually trash talking her namesake before she suddenly launched herself forward and caught Salvador’s boot to her jaw sending her down to the canvas. Quickly Reed pushed back up to her feet only for the Brazilian wrestler to deliver a clothesline that took her straight back down to the canvas again. Once more the Atlanta native pushed up to her feet and received a standing dropkick to the jaw that yet again sent her down to the mat.

Mai: The only good thing about that shot to the mouth is it could shut Reed up, but then her fingers would still work and I’d have to read her tweets.

Zack: No, you don’t. You can unfollow her if you find Bianca that bad.

Salvador moved quickly to follow up with a front facelock, using all of her weight to press her opponent down into the canvas as she wrenched the hold on tighter. Despite that Reed began to push her way upwards, the two wrestlers slowly coming up to their feet only for the Franchise member to release the facelock and deliver a clubbing double axe handle blow to her foe’s spine. A second clubbing blow followed it before Reed began to straighten up only to be lifted off her feet and dumped throat first across the top rope with a flapjack. The Georgia born wrestler landed on her feet and stumbled around to face the Brazilian Storm member who grabbed hold of her wrist and yanked her forward into a short arm clothesline that sent her down to the mat.

Mai: The “Typhoon” is already starting to show how far ahead in wrestling skill she is to the queen of the cockroaches.

Immediately Reed sat upright as her opponent dropped down to one knee and applied a rear chinlock to her as she looked to keep the match at her pace instead of the High Flying Americans. Once more Reed fought her way upwards; Salvador transitioning the rear chinlock into a standing side headlock that saw the former Unity Champion deliver a closed fist right hand to Reed’s face as she released the hold causing her to back up a step. Before the Atlanta native could recover, Salvador took her back down to the mat with an armdrag takedown that she transitioned into an armbar. Again Reed forced back up to a vertical base, getting the armbar wrenched on tighter as she did so only for the American woman to attempt to reverse the hold with a one armed cartwheel… Only for Salvador to grab hold of her hair, using it to jerk her back down to the canvas, keeping the hold applied.

Mai: Poor Bianca must feel like she’s wrestling a Troll doll with all that hideous purple hair the lesser Bianca has.

Zack: Go tell her that to her face after the show, I dare you.

Once more Reed pushed back up to her feet, her foe keeping the hold firmly applied as she managed to get to a vertical base and this time Reed began to fire off stiff open handed slaps into Salvador’s stomach, driving her hand into her abs. Four landed before the Brazilian wrestler released her grip and the Atlanta born grappler began to quickly fire off stiff kicks into her midsection before she finished it off with a high kick to her face. Salvador fell backwards into the ropes and bounced back towards Reed who sent the Storm member flying across the ring with a monkey flip. The Franchise member landed and rolled to her feet, holding her back for a moment as she did so and Reed charged towards her, leaving her feet as she launched herself into a clothesline that sent her opponent down to the canvas. Quickly the Georgian spun around towards her namesake and began to fire off kicks to her body and spine before she pulled the Brazilian up to her feet only for Salvador to cut short her offence with a thumb to her eye.

Mai: So while Salvador continues to outwork the lesser Bianca, what did you think about Seth’s announcement about the change to Global Wars?

Zack: I think it has potential to be a fantastic series this year. And with it being every woman for herself in the battle royal, the stakes are much higher. I’m looking forward to it.

Reed staggered backwards two steps before Salvador skipped forward and buried her knee into the American’s midsection, causing her to cradle her gut before she took her down to the canvas with a snapmare takedown. Salvador dropped back to the ropes, bouncing off them and came forward to deliver a kick to her spine. Reed rolled away and began to come to her feet as the Brazilian Storm member took a moment to flex her muscles to boos from the crowd before she moved forward quickly and took the Fast Track hopeful down to the canvas yet again with a neckbreaker. Again Salvador showed off her muscles to the crowd as she dropped down to a knee behind her foe and applied a top wristlock to Reed, using all of her strength and weight to make it as effective as possible.

Zack: Bianca Salvador has a little bit of a strength advantage over the much faster Reed, and she’s putting it to good use here with this pressure hold.

Mai: There you go, Zack. Bask in the glow of Bianca!

Reed grimaced in pain as Parks asked her if she wanted to quit, getting a ‘No’ and a shake of the head from the Atlanta native who once more started to push upwards. Salvador kept the top wristlock applied for as long as possible before she transitioned it into a hammerlock as Reed got her feet underneath her. Before the Brazilian could go any further, the American wrestler reached behind her, grabbing hold of the former Fast Track Champions head and dropped down into a jawbreaker. Salvador staggered backwards as Reed popped back up to her feet and launched into the air to deliver a pele kick to the top of Salvador’s head. The South American staggered backwards against the ropes as Reed sprinted across the ring, bouncing off the ropes and came back towards the Brazilian only for Salvador to step forward and catch the onrushing wrestler with a back body drop, elevating her high into the air and over the top rope to the outside.

Mai: I heard that’s how Bianca puts her trash in the dumpster each week. I’d like to watch that again.

As Reed landed she rolled into a sitting position, holding her back and looked up into the ring where Parks was trying to get Salvador to retreat to a neutral corner. The Franchise member, however, was ignoring the official as she sat on the middle rope, pulling a body builder pose with a shit eating grin on her face while she invited her opponent to re-enter the room; all the while getting booed by the sold out crowd. Finally Salvador backed up across the ring as Reed pushed up to her feet on the outside. Parks started the count, warning both Mel and Kyle to stay back as Reed took a moment or two before she made for the ring as Salvador strode forward and dropped an elbow as the Georgia native was rolling in underneath the bottom rope...but got nothing but mat as Reed saw it coming and rolled back out to the apron. Salvador held her elbow as she came back to her feet only for Reed to leap up onto the top rope and come off it with a headscissors takedown as the Brazilian made it back to her feet.

Zack: The speed is starting to come into play, and that’s where Salvador does NOT want it to go.

The pair rolled to their feet simultaneously and Reed reacted first, firing off a boot into the gut of her opponent. The Princess of the Reed Family wasted little time in following it up with a toe kick to the chest to stand the Franchise member up straight once more and began to deliver stiff kicks to her thighs, landing five shots in total to both legs before she finished the combination up with a jumping side kick to Salvador’s jaw.

Mai: She shouldn’t be allowed to kick Bianca’s mouth, it could damage that absolutely perfect face.

The Brazilian staggered backwards but managed to stay on her feet as she held her jaw only for Reed to send her down to the canvas a moment later with a headscissors takedown. Salvador rolled through to her feet and didn’t get any chance to get her bearings before she was sent down to the mat once again thanks to a spinning heel kick from Killer B. Salvador attempted to sit straight up but as she did so, her opponent drove a stiff kick into her chest to force her back down and followed with an elbow drop. The Franchise member rolled away onto her hands and knees only for Reed to skip forwards and bury a hard kick into her ribcage. As her foe sat up on her knees the Princess of House Reed immediately continued to tee off on her rib cage with stiff kicks that caused her opponent to rise further at which point Reed grabbed hold of her hair and started to bring her knees up into her chest.

Zack: Look at those relentless strikes to the body, and lightning fast too. Reed is an expert striker, there’s no question about it.

Mai: I’d question it personally. This is what you call a lucky streak she’s having, but it’ll get resolved soon enough.

Finally the Atlanta native jerked the South American wrestler upright and straight into a side Russian leg sweep, snapping her backwards to the mat. The Fast Track hopeful was quickly back to her feet and darted towards the ring ropes and leapt up to springboard off the middle rope into a moonsault. Salvador rolled out of the way while her opponent was in mid-air, causing Reed to adjust and land on her feet as the Brazilian left the ring under the bottom rope and to the outside. Killer B measured her up for a moment before she quick stepped forward into a baseball slide that sent Salvador sprawling backwards into the crowd barricade. A moment later Reed fired off a roundhouse kick to the side of the Brazilian’s head, causing her to stumble sideways only for the American to launch towards and catch her with a jumping knee to the side of her head before she grabbed hold of her hair and slammed her face first into the ring apron before she rolled her back under the bottom rope.

Zack: Salvador must be having flashbacks with all these quick strikes to her matches with Andi Takata.

Mai: Yeah, she won that feud too. You really are a “Typhoon” fan, aren’t you?

Salvador rolled away from the ropes, holding her face as she sat up with her opponent pulled herself up onto the apron and headed towards the corner, quickly she climbed to the top rope and called for the fans to rally behind her, getting a loud cheer from the sold out arena. As Salvador got her feet underneath her, Reed launched herself forward into a flying clothesline that took her opponent down to the canvas while Reed rolled through to her feet. Quickly she waved the Brazilian up to her feet, playing up to her fans as she waited for Salvador to get to a vertical base then charged forward, leaving her feet and planting the Brazilian into the canvas with a jumping DDT. Quickly Killer B rolled her over and went for the pinfall.

One…

Two…

Mai: Oh please! She’s not going to stop the “Typhoon” like that! You know, we have way too many Biancas on this roster.

The Franchise member kicked out on the two count and immediately rolled onto her hands and knees as Killer B started to trash talk her once more before she delivered a European uppercut to her jaw. A second European uppercut followed it as she pulled the Brazilian to her feet and pushed her back into the ropes as she whipped her across the ring, catching her on the return with a standing dropkick to the face. Once more Salvador was quick to roll over onto her hands and knees only to be sent back into the mat courtesy of a fist drop into the back of her head. The former Future Shock Champion started to push upright once more, getting to her knees before Reed grabbed hold of her wrists and pulled her arms into a straitjacket. She kept the hold applied as she jerked the Brazilian Storm member to her feet, talking to her all the time before she slammed her down into the canvas with a neckbreaker, quickly making the cover and hooking the legs once more.

One….

Two…

...T-

Zack: Another near fall by Reed, and she’s starting to get close to putting the blonde third of the Franchise away.

Mai: Uh...no. No, she’s not.

Again Salvador kicked out just after the two count had been made and rolled over onto her front as Reed kipped up to her feet and delivered a double knee drop into her spine. She followed it up quickly with another double knee drop to her back that saw Salvador roll away once more and start to push upwards to her feet. As she rose, Reed circled around behind her and began to deliver knees into her lower back - that turned into forearm shivers to the same target as the Brazilian made it to her feet; Reed finishing off the blows with a kidney shot that caused the first Fast Track Champion to freeze up for a second. The wrestler from Atlanta making full use of the opportunity to grab Salvador by the wrist and whip her across the ring into the corner. As the former Future Shock Champion hit the turnbuckles, Reed followed in behind her with a jumping knee that struck her in the jaw. Salvador tried to step out of the corner only for her opponent to stop her in her tracks as she slid over the top rope and tied the former Unity Champion up with a Tarantula hold. Parks quickly called for the break before he started to use the count.

Mai: Hey hey hey, that’s illegal! She can’t do that! Disqualify her right now!

One…

Two…

Three…

Four…

...FIV-

Zack: She has till a five count, and she broke before it. Reed is one of the most flexible women I’ve ever known.

Reed released the hold at the very last moment, landing on the canvas as her foe fell forward and landed face first on the canvas. Quickly the Fast Track hopeful pulled herself up to her feet with the aid of the ring ropes, talking to the fans in the front row for a moment, get a loud cheer from the capacity crowd as she talked herself up in front of them. Her attention turned back to the ring as Salvador was getting her feet underneath only for Bianca to leap up onto the top rope, bouncing straight up as she landed on it to spin in midair with her arms outstretched to face the crowd before she bounced off the top rope again and into an Asai moonsault. The move caught the rising Brazilian perfectly, sending her back down to the canvas and immediately allowing Reed to hook her legs for the cover.

One…

Two…

...THR-

Zack: Gorgeous Asai moonsault from the Princess of House Reed, and is just a split second closer to putting Salvador away.

Mai: Again….no. No, she isn’t.

Again the powerful Brazilian kicked out of the pinfall, pushing her foe away from her and rolled onto her front. And again, Reed left her feet to deliver a double knee drop into her foes back before she transitioned the blow into a single leg Boston crab that saw her place her knee in the small of Salvador’s back as she pulled back on her leg. The former Future Shock Champion grimaced in pain but refused to quit as the Princess of House Reed applied pulled further back on her leg to apply more pressure to her back. The Franchise member still refused to quit as Parks asked her the question once more and instead she began to use her fingertips to drag herself across the canvas towards the ring ropes, forcing her foe to follow her as she reached for the ropes but found them out of reach. Digging down deep once more, the Brazilian continued to use her upper body strength to haul herself across the mat and finally wrapped her hand around the bottom rope. The four called for the break and was forced into using the count, reaching four before he got the break; Reed rolling away while Salvador pulled herself underneath the bottom rope and to the outside.

Mai: See, that’s smart strategy. Break her momentum, and see if you can sucker her to follow you out. Reed’s not bright, so she will probably go for this.

The Atlanta native rolled to her feet and looked at Salvador as the Brazilian held her back on the outside. The referee tried to backup the Fast Track hopeful to a neutral corner, that only saw Reed play up to the crowd, rousing them to get behind her. As they got louder in support of her, the Princess of House Reed took off across the ring into a suicide dive through the ropes.

Zack: SUICIDE DIVE…..and oh God, Salvador countered with a devastating European uppercut!

That Salvador saw coming as she caught her opponent with a European uppercut to the jaw as she dove through the ropes to the outside; Reed landing on her knees, hung over the middle rope as she did so. The Typhoon wasted little time in reaching up to grab hold of the back of Killer B’s head, pulling downwards to choke out the woman with the aid of the rope. The referee read Salvador the riot act for her actions, using the count as he threatened her with a disqualification and saw her release the choke on four. Reed gasped for breath as she stayed lent against the ropes. Salvador backed up a couple of steps only to launch herself forward and deliver a superman punch to side of Reed’s jaw that caused her to fall backwards to the canvas.

Mai: Does Brazil have their own Supergirl? Well they should, because I’m nominating Bianca for that role.

The first Fast Track Champion pulled herself up onto the apron and climbed the nearest corner to the top rope where she posed for the fans as she waited for Reed to come back to her feet before she came off with a cross body block that sent her down to the canvas. The Brazilian rolled away from her foe and slowly back to her feet, holding her back as she watched Reed slowly begin to pull herself upwards. Salvador let her foe get so far back to her feet before she dropped back to the ropes, bouncing off them to build momentum as she came forward and delivered a knee trembler to the side of her head. Reed spun upright from the blow and straight into her foe’s clutches as Salvador hooked her arms from behind before snapping off a tiger suplex that she bridged for a pinfall.

Mai: Alright, go ahead and ring the bell! This thing is pretty much over now.

One…

Two…

...THR-

Zack: You were saying?

Reed kicked out on two and a half count and as Salvador pushed up to her knees holding her back, Reed rolled backwards to her feet. Unfortunately the Fast Track hopeful took a couple of moments to get her bearings which allowed Salvador to launch herself forward into a spear. The Brazilian rolled to the ropes, using them to quickly pull herself to her feet as she strode towards the North American as she got to her hands and knees and stepped on her fingers, grinding them underneath her boot. The referee demanded the break and used a quick five count to force Salvador to pull her foot away; Reed pulling her hand to her chest. Salvador quickly followed up with a stiff kick into her opponents ribs that saw her roll onto her back. The Brazilian began to circle her foe, Garvin stomping her body and limbs as she did so.

Zack: An old school Garvin stomp, and Bianca’s not missing a part of her opponent’s body in the process.

Mai: How else do you get rid of a cockroach?!

As she finished with the stomps the Brazilian Storm member once more played to the crowd, posing to show off her muscular torso and reminding them all why she was part of The Franchise. Her attention turned back towards Reed as the Atlanta born wrestler was starting to push upwards. She was almost all the way back up to her feet when Salvador struck, driving her down into the canvas with a swinging DDT. Rolling her over, the Brazilian Storm member made the cover and hooked the leg.

One…

Two…

...THRE--

Zack: Outstanding resiliency from Bianca Reed right here. She’s showing what makes her one of the most promising Prospects Future Shock has produced.

Mai: She’s not promising! She’s lackluster. And she’s jealous of Valerie McKinley.

The Princess of House Reed kicked out at the last moment, prompting the South American wrestler to shake her head and tut disparagingly at the official as he showed the two count. The blonde woman quickly took up the mount position and began to rain vicious closed fist right and left hands into her opponent’s face, causing Reed to cover up in an attempt to block the blows. Her efforts only led to Salvador grabbing her by the hair as she bounced the back of her head off the canvas while the referee called for the break and used the count to get separation between the pair. Samantha Star’s Chosen One pulled Reed upwards as she stood up and quickly locked in a Full Nelson on the Atlanta native, interlocking her fingers behind her head and begun to shake her from side to side. Parks asked Reed if she wanted to submit as Salvador kept the hold locked in tight and got a ‘No’ in response. The Brazilian shook her from side to side once more before Parks against the question again, getting another negative response from Killer B that saw her hoisted off her feet into a Full Nelson bomb. As they landed, Salvador jerked backwards to the canvas and hooked her leg as she looked for the victory.

Mai: Full nelson bomb! Thanks for coming, Princess!

One…

Two…

...THRE--

Zack: Still no dice! Bianca Reed can take as much as anyone can dish out, and Salvador’s learning that.

Once more Reed managed to get her shoulder from the canvas at the last moment. Salvador glared at her opponent and then at the referee as she demanded the three count. Malcolm Parks stood firm in his decision that it was only a two count as he was berated by the South American wrestler. The Franchise member finally gave up on the referee and turned back towards Killer B, showing off to the crowd momentarily once more, before she pulled Reed upwards and onto her shoulders with an Argentine Rack leg stretch. The Brazilian flexed her muscles as she held her foe in position for a couple of moments before she spun her around into a body slam to complete the Outflow. Reed landed hard on the mat and didn’t move as Salvador pulled a couple more poses to the crowd before she moved forward, dropping to her knees with a smile and made the cover on her foe.

Mai: OUTFLOW!

Zack: Yeah, but she’s wasting time!

One…

Two…

...THREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zack: That’s completely her fault right there! She wasted too much, and gave Reed time to get herself together.

At the very last second Reed’s shoulder popped up from the canvas then fell straight back down. Salvador glared daggers at the referee as he showed her the two count, verbally chewing him out as she returned to her feet, bringing Reed up with her. She continued to berate the referee for his abilities and failings before she finally looked to put her opponent in position for the Typhoon Driver. As Salvador tried to grab both of Killer B’s wrists, Reed came to life and started throwing elbows into her opponent’s stomach before Reed turned away from her and drove a stiff mule kick into the Brazilian’s (very) lower midsection. As Salvador started to crumple to the canvas, Reed wrapped her arm around her head and jerked her around towards the ring ropes as she used them to deliver a Shiranui that slammed the back of the Brazilian’s head into the canvas and left both competitors laying out in the ring.

Zack: That’s….that’s a knockout! Salvador doesn’t know if she’s in Louisville or London right now!

Malcolm Parks checked on both wrestlers before seeing the pair slowly start to move; the Princess of House Reed forcing herself up to her feet as Salvador rolled towards the ropes and began to use them to pull herself upwards. The pair got to their feet at the same time, Reed staggering towards her opponent and as soon as she was in range began to deliver stiff kicks to the Brazilian’s body before she hurled herself forwards into a koppu kick that dropped Salvador to the canvas.

Mai: Alright, Bianca! You need to start coming back now. You are letting this pipsqueak get too much confidence now.

Zack: Bianca Reed is confidence personified.

Quickly Reed grabbed her foe by the head and started to pull her up to her knees, where she began delivering another three stiff kicks into her body once more. The Atlanta native pulled Salvador to her feet and whipped her into the corner. As the Brazilian Storm member hit the turnbuckles Reed ran in behind her, delivering a running big boot to her face that she followed up with an enzugiri. Salvador stumbled forward out of the corner and Killer B quickly stepped through the ropes and scaled to the top rope. As Salvador turned around to face her opponent, Reed launched herself into a Meteora, driving both of her knees into her chest as she sent her down to the canvas. Reed scrabbled and dove into the cover, hooking both legs as she did so.

Mai: KICK OUT KICK OUT KICK OUT KICK OUT!!

One…

Two…

...THREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zack: A heartbeat….a damn heartbeat away from Reed pulling off a HUGE win in just her third match on the main roster.

Reed looked up to the referee in disbelief asking for the three count only to have the two shown to her as Salvador managed to get her shoulder up from the canvas in the nick of time. The Fast Track hopeful nodded as the two count was confirmed to her and the girl went straight back to running down her opponent verbally as she pushed up to her feet and headed towards the corner. Killer B gave the signal for the Cracker Jacker as she climbed to the top rope and impatiently waved Salvador upwards. The Brazilian rolled and grabbed hold of Parks pant legs as she began to pull herself upwards. The official tried to step away, only for the South American to continue to claw at his pant leg. Again he tried to step away, but this time only managed to put himself between the two Biancas. Killer B implored him to get out of the way as the former Unity Champion managed to pull herself up to one knee and wrap her arms around his waist. With both Reed and Parks’ attention diverted, Mel took full advantage, darting up onto the apron and shoving Reed from the top rope causing her to crash to the canvas.

Mai: Did you hear what Reed said to Mel about her mother?! And look at Mel trying to help her correct her balance instead of beating the crap out of her.

Zack: Yeah, and I got a couple monuments you can get cheap too! Even Mel knew her partner was in trouble.

Salvador pushed her way to her feet as Reed began to recover and rise only for the first ever Fast Track Champion to catch her with a bicycle kick to the side of her head. The Atlanta based wrestler stumbled woozily and The Typhoon wasted little time in feeding both of her arms between her legs, lifting her upwards and drove her down into the canvas with the Typhoon Driver. Salvador fellow on top of her namesake after landing the move and hooked both legs as she did so.

Mai: TYPHOON DRIVER!! YASS QUEEN YAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS!!

One…

Two…

...THREE!!!!

Zack: They don’t get much closer than that! Salvador wins the battle, but Bianca Reed proves again she can hang with anyone in FFW.

Malcolm Parks called for the bell and helped Salvador to her feet, raising her hand in the air to boos and jeers from the crowd.

Maggie: Here is your winner, by way of pinfall, representing The Franchise… “THE TYPHOON” BIANCA SALVADOR!!!

Mai: You must be starting Reed’s fan club. I’m glad this is over, the #BattleOfTheBiancas resulted in one supreme Bianca to rule them all!

Zack: If someone gave you an enema, they could bury you in a matchbook.

Salvador threw her hands up into the air once more as the crowd booed her loudly before she dropped to the mat and rolled out of the ring, getting her hands raised by Mel and Kyle. The trio celebrated as they retreated up the ramp while Bianca Reed sat up in the ring, staring a hole through Salvador as the show cut elsewhere.




O.E.’s New Groove

We cut backstage to find O.E. Ayano wearing a Louisville Cardinals football jersey as one of the medical team seem to be talking to her about her arm. She nods quietly before flexing her fingers, as if trying to test them out. Besides a single wince, they seem to be in mostly working order here before she closes her hand into a fist. She looks at someone off-screen as the Wildcard of Chaotic Temptation speaks up.

O.E.: So how’s my chances for Global Wars lookin’ this year, my dude? Like, I’m feeling all kinds of positives that Missy finally got a partner she ain’t gotta kill and the same gonna be said for Lilly. That right there’s the team to beat this year, in spades.

Christian: Very good actually. I already talked with Seth earlier tonight before the show started. He’s got you penciled in for Team Japan again this year, and it’s very likely that you’ll be partnered with Andi Takata. But I was able to confirm you’re definitely in Global Wars. Signed, sealed, delivered.

O.E.: Eeeyyyyyy...

The Orochi fist-bumps her manager with her good hand.

O.E.: True, true, true... Kinda figured with K-Senpai having eyes on wanting that FFW title back, and my cuzzo is lookin’ No Surrender Rich right now... It’s gotta be me and Takata. Mmmm... I’m not really with the merch though, real talk. Well... Besides those mixtapes.

O.E. points off-camera and the camera slowly pans to the left of Christian and O.E... To a VERY LARGE PILE of abandoned music CDs of O.E.’s mixtape album, ‘The Raw Side’. She shook her head before looking back at her manager as the camera cuts back on her.

O.E.: Yo you want a couple? They make good coasters... Yo and the BEST door stoppers if you glue a bunch together.

Christian looks over to them, and seems to think it over before he looks back.

Christian: That won’t be needed. You might want to hang onto them, because I got you a little side gig that I think you’ll enjoy. I happen to have a lot of contacts, one of which….is a producer. And after talking with him, I got him interested in you….and he wants an O.E. Ayano original rap single to put out on iTunes. And if it does well….there could be more coming.

O.E.: ...’Scuse me a sec though, Christian... Overcome with emotion...

She gets up and slowly walks off-screen. A very... VERY loud ‘YYYAAASSSS QQUUUEEENNN YYYAASSS!!” is heard before she walks back, clearing her throat in her first and giving Christian another dap.

O.E.: I think we could do this. Best comes out of this, I’mma come out to my own theme music or something like that, maybe even being like number one on iTunes, even drop an actual album.

Christian: I’ll take care of getting you a studio to record in, so you get the best sound quality. In the meantime, you can start putting together your first publicly released single. I’ll even go you one better. If it does well, I’ll personally finance you making a video for it, how’s that?

O.E.: See, that’s why you that manager, Christian. We do this right, I’m looking to drop the most fire single of 2018. Forget KeKe or whatever that big ass Canadian mug calls it. I swear he looks mad familiar... Anyway! Yeah I promise I ain’t gonna let you down. For this or come match-wise. I’m tryna turn it all around you know. I been down, as down as I could get but it’s only up from here.

Christian: Absolutely. You also get to go back to Future Shock next show to partner up with Gillie before she makes her full roster debut in FFW. Let the Future Shock fans see how much you both have improved from being on top of SCW.

O.E.: Feels like it was yesterday... Let’s go see if she’s out and about. Might wanna talk ideas over and all that for this #SSC Reunion. You see how she gets now with all the facts and figures? FFW shoulda seen her way back when... Man I got stories...

On that note as The Orochi begins to tell Christian about Gillie from SCW days, we head to commercial.

[Adam Grant]

Maggie: The following contest of Breaking Point is scheduled for one fall.

Zack: Hello, everyone! And welcome to the KFC Yum Center here in Louisville, Kentucky! You’re watching the 134th presentation of Breaking Point, and we are still feeling the fallout from the biggest night of the year at Unstoppable 9. Zack here, and I’m joined like usual by Mai Hotaru.

Mai: That should be “blessed by the presence of Mai Hotaru’, Zack. Fixed that for you. Now let’s see some of the Future Shock grads beat on each other.

As a thumping percussion kicks off over the speakers a green strobe backlights the entrance rampway. As the intro of “Rain Of Brass Petals” grows more intense, with the sound of grinding metal interspersed throughout the lights get more intense.

Smoke shoots out from the stage as the percussion gives way to the proper drum and bass beat and out walks ‘Kumiho’ Ji-Hu Myeong as the regular arena comes back on. She surveys the crowd for a moment, soaking in jeers before she turns up her nose and starts her way down the ramp, doing her level best to stay out of reach of any of the fans reaching over the railing attempting to slap fans with her.

When the Korean woman gets to ringside she grabs the bottom rope and fluidly slingshots herself into the ring between the first and second rope and rolling to her feet.

Maggie: Hailing from Seoul, South Korea, standing five feet tall and weighing in at a-hundred-and-twenty-pounds, ‘Kumiho’ JI-HUUUUUU MYEONG!

At the Ji-Hu raises both hands - five fingers extended on her right hand and all but her thumb extended on her left - and looks skyward, after a moment of soaking in the crowds disapproval of her she lowers her arms and wanders to her corner, leaning against the turnbuckles and waiting for her match to begin.

Zack: It has not been a good few weeks for Ji-Hu Myeong. Andi Takata put her away at Unstoppable 9, and I have a feeling she’s starting to feel a bit desperate for a win.

Mai: Luckily she’s facing Rose then. She also fell short at Unstoppable 9, but unlike Ji-Hu, I doubt she’s done any training other than tweet and make goo goo eyes at her fiance.

The dance beats of DJ Cutman's "I"m The Boss" blare through the sound system as lights blink in white, baby blue and purple. Skipping and bopping to the beat, Rose Gardner comes out from the back, opening her arms in an airplane stance as she reaches the top of the ramp, stopping and staring into the crowd. She then makes her way down the ramp, highfiving as many fans as possible in the way. As the chorus of the music approaches, she darts to the ring and hops onto the second rope, showing off for the crowd, pointing to herself with her two thumbs as the lyrics say...

I'm the boss!
I'm the boss!
I'm very, very sorry for your loss!
I'm the boss!
I'm the boss!
And just in case I didn't get the point across
I'M THE BOSS!

Maggie: And her opponent, from World 8-8, standing at 5'4"... ROSE GARDNER!!!

Poison then removes her sunglasses and throws it into the audience for some fan before hopping down to the ring and bouncing on the balls of her feet.

Zack: Rose Gardner was one of the most popular girls to ever come through Future Shock, and it hasn’t taken her long to win over the FFW fan base since making her debut at Unstoppable 9.

Mai: She hasn’t won me over, so I don’t know what you’re talking about there. Winning me over is better than the fans, because I’m the one who can bury you on commentary with a rapier wit.

Maggie leaves as referee Melinda Davis checks both women, and calls for the bell. A very aggressive Ji-Hu heads out of the corner, staring across at Rose as she starts to move to meet her. But the South Korean wrestler charges her into the corner, driving Rose back first into it before firing shoulder thrusts into her body to try to knock the wind out of her early. After three shots, she steps back and lays in a series of chops to her chest followed by a snapmare to the mat. As Rose starts to sit up, Ji-Hu comes off the middle rope with a dropkick to her back and then immediately brings her all the way to the mat with a rear headlock.

Mai: See? What did I tell you, Zack: She’s already dominating this match, and Rose is probably thinking about what’s left to eat in catering.

Zack: As usual, you’re counting out someone before the match has gotten underway practically. When’s the last time you saw someone win with a headlock again?

Rose didn’t stay grounded for very long though, and immediately got back to her feet still trapped in the hold. Ji-Hu tried to bring her back down, but that got derailed with a series of elbows to the abdomen. It loosened her grip long enough for Rose to get free before she unleashed a flood of back elbows to Myeong’s jaw. She fired Ji-Hu across for the ride, and rolled into a ball before springing to her feet for a leaping clothesline. The crowd started getting loudly behind her, bringing a smile to her face. “Poison” took off for the far side, and rebounded with a rolling senton across her chest.

Zack: Rose is starting to get into her comfort zone here, and she’s picked up the pace against Max Sato’s former favorite squeeze toy.

Mai: That….that is one of the most disgusting ways to refer to someone I think I’ve heard. And...this is me talking.

She pulled Ji-Hu back to her feet into a front facelock, and started driving knees into her body. Rose hoisted her up into a slingshot off the top rope into a vertical suplex on the mat. She quickly rolled to her feet, and used the middle rope for a springboard into an Asai moonsault before hooking a leg for the cover.

Mai: Ji-Hu’s not gonna go down like this! DON’T GO DOWN LIKE THIS!!

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

TH-NOPE!!

Myeong kicked out at two, and shoved Rose off the cover in the process. But “Poison” barely lost a step as she hopped to her feet, and took off for the ropes. As Kumiho got to her feet, Rose buried a running knee into her body that doubled her over. One more rebound off the ropes dropped the South Korean wrestler with an axe kick to the back of her head.

Zack: Rose is wrecking shop right now, and Ji-Hu is catching it from all directions! I don’t think that---what’s she doing?

Rose started undoing her baggy bodysuit before tearing it off, and throwing it to the floor. And as soon as she started putting her hair up in pigtails, the fans realized who she was now, mostly thanks to the almost perfectly mimicked ring gear of--

Mai: ANDI TAKATA?! SERIOUSLY?!

Zack: That looks just like Andi’s ring gear, and Rose Takata has landed! I guess we can call her the Space Duchess!

Rose grinned ear to ear, only to turn around to see Ji-Hu back to her feet with a furious expression on her face. Myeong began unloading with hard right hands at the sight of the Andi cosplay, driving Rose back against the ropes. She fired her across to the far side, and charged towards her with a running mid-air knee strike to the temple. Rose barely had time to fall down before Ji-Hu scooped her up, and planted her with a Death Valley Driver.

Mai: That’s what you get! Ji-Hu abhors Andi, and if you’re going to remind her of her….well you deserve to get the crap kicked out of you!

Zack: Good Lord, it was like seeing red for a bull. As soon as Kumiho saw that Andi outfit on the cosplay princess, she went into a rage!

Rose started to get back to her feet as Ji-Hu hit the ropes off the far side. She rebounded quickly with a rolling koppu kick that landed flush on Gardner. She quickly got back to her feet, and circled around behind Rose to deliver her own codebreaker that flipped the cosplayer over to the mat. She lunged across her hooking the leg tightly with an angry expression on her face.

Mai: Two of Ji-Hu’s favorites right there, Zack! And Rose is totally regretting coming out as Andi tonight!

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THRE-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE!!

Zack: Not just yet, Ji-Hu! It’s easy to see that she hasn’t exactly gotten over what happened at Unstoppable 9, has she?

Rose kicked out in time, and Ji-Hu punished her for it by grabbing her head and continuously spiking the back of it into the mat. She finally got back to her feet, and soaked in the anger of the crowd. When Rose started to get up as well, she brought her back down by grabbing those pigtails into a hair pull backbreaker. Myeong darted across her for the cover again, this time hooking both legs.

Zack: Ji-Hu is a machine all of a sudden, and Rose may not be getting up from this tone! Kumiho looking for the win right here!!

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-NOOO!!!

Mai: I guess Rose just wants to get beat up some more! If she’d apologize to Ji-Hu and just tell the referee to stop the match, she could save herself any more punishment.

Once again, Rose rolls her shoulder off the mat in time. This causes Ji-Hu to get back to her feet, pulling Rose up with two handfuls of hair. When she gets her back to her feet though, Rose surprises her with a jawbreaker. It stumbles Myeong backwards before Rose leaves her feet, and follows up with a roundhouse kick that lays Ji-Hu out on the mat. But Rose drops to a knee herself to regain her composure.

Zack: Rose has had a tremendous amount taken out of her here. She cleaned Ji-Hu’s clock for her with that roundhouse, but she isn’t able to follow up like she would normally.

Mai: That’s a lack of intelligence. Are you sure she was ready to come out of Future Shock? I think I’d have left her in there for a couple more years.

Before Ji-Hu had much time to recover though, Rose took off again. This time, she landed a running somersault senton perfectly onto Ji-Hu. The crowd was chanting her name again as she got to her feet, while Ji-Hu tried to create some separation by heading for the corner. Rose glances towards her, and looked out to the crowd before taking off to deliver a running handspring enzuigiri to the back of Myeong’s head! She stumbled forward before Rose snapped off a hurricanrana with both legs hooked for the cover.

Zack: SONIC SPIN with one hell of a drop at the end! Rose is three seconds from her first win in FFW right here!

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-NO!!

Ji-Hu barely managed to get free before the three came down. She checked with Davis, who confirmed it was only two as she got back to her feet. Rose started to pull Ji-Hu back to her feet, and into a familiar position.

Mai: No, Ji-Hu! Don’t let her do this to you! Nothing good happens from this position!!

And with one back hook swinging reverse STO, Rose hit her favorite move perfectly and dropped on top of Ji-Hu to make another cover. Davis fell into position to make the count.

Zack: POISON BUUUUUUUUUUUSTTTTEEEEEEEERRRR!!

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Davis called for the bell to a pop from the crowd. Rose rolled off to her feet, and got her hand raised. A smile formed across her face as the crowd roared in approval.

Mai: Poor Ji-Hu! Now she’s been beaten by Andi and an Andi-clone in back to back matches. I’m gonna send her a couple bottles of saki tonight!

Maggie: Here’s your winner by pinfall………………….’POISON’ ROSE GARDNER!!!

The crowd gave Rose plenty of support as she leaned against the ropes, trying to catch her break before she headed for the corner and climbed up to the middle rope. She raised her hand in victory...until Ji-Hu used a German suplex to snap her off to the mat. The South Korean wrestler then proceeded to rip and shred at the Andi Takata outfit until the referee pulled her off finally.

Zack: Someone will have to tell me what the hell that proved! Rose got the better of her fair and square, and I think she’s trying to rip that outfit off her.

Mai: This is how some of my fantasies have began, Zack! Tear some more off, I want to see if the curtains match the drapes.

Ji-Hu finally heads down to the floor before Rose’s boyfriend heads down with a jacket for her, since part of her top was ripped in Ji-Hu’s assault.

Zack: If Ji-Hu wanted to buy herself some issues with the cosplay princess, I’d say she’s done that in spades tonight trying to rip her costume off and embarrass her!

Mai: I’ve had tons of clothes ripped off me, didn’t embarrass me once.

As Alex helped his fiance to her feet, the show took its first commercial break.




Come What May

We're sent backstage once more, as Robby Reynolds stands by.

Robby: Ladies and gentlemen, standing with me right now at backstage is the FFW Champion herself... Leona Vega.

A huge houseful of cheers as the camera pans out to reveal the Aztec Warrior Leona Vega, the FFW Championship around her waist where a championship belt is supposed to be as per tradition.

Robby: Last week at Velocity, Leona, we got the news that you'll be defending the FFW Championship at Sin and Sacrifice against an old personal rival of yours, that being the former Ultraviolence Champion Emma Mackenzie. You mentioned on social media that it was "written in the stars" that the two of you would fight over something again. What DID that mean?

Leona chuckles.

Leona: Oh, my story with Emma is old and has long been finished. My personal thing with her, that is. She's close friends with my husband, Sebastian Labbett. And... Let's just say I was very immature back in the start of my relationship with Sebastian. I had a... huge chip on my shoulder, couldn't bring myself to trust anyone, was even a bit paranoid. But that's all in the past. We've all grown up. I just found it funny that, after all our spats, Emma and I would end up facing one another in the ring for...

Leona looks down at the belt she's wearing.

Leona: ... the biggest prize in all of feminine wrestling. But here's the thing, Robby: while I can't really have a say whether two human beings can or cannot be friends... I CAN and I DO have a say whether this belt comes with me or goes away after a pay-per-view. So I welcome this challenge against Emma Mackenzie with open arms and open heart. We're both record-breaking champions, both women that have made history with our belts. And Emma has the chance to become a two-time FFW Champion, eight whole years after her first reign. And as long as I have my way... That chance will be but wishful thinking on her part.

She nods confidently and grins.

Leona: I'm ready, Robby. Ready as I'll ever be. Come what may... I'm very much ready.

And as the camera focuses on the FFW Championship's main plate, we fade out to something entirely different.



You’ve Been Misled

The camera catches up with the COO, finding him in the locker room of Kelly Kincaid. The two are seated across from one another, with the COO’s hands clasped loosely together in front of him. He has a document at his side face down.

Seth: Thank you for talking with me, Mrs. Kincaid. I had a few things I wanted to discuss with you, and one of which I think is very important we get cleared up.

He then passes her the document that was sitting at his side.

Seth: I was informed that you have been given some very bad information. I believe someone from my sister’s office led you to believe that your sister being part of Unstoppable meant you were contractually shut out as a result. That is the actual contract she and I put together, and nowhere in it does it say you could not be part of the event. I think this was a case of trying to pit you against her, but you can see for yourself. That is what she and I signed.

Kelly pulled the document towards her and flicked her eyes over it, skim reading it for a couple of moments. As she started to speak, Kelly scrutinised the signatures.

Kelly: This is the actual document you both signed for Unstoppable? The one to make her a special guest referee for the night. Certainly looks genuine. Which I guess means that the one… the contract I’ve seen with her signature at the end with the clause included wasn’t. Just a means to put a little more fuel on the fire between my sister and I? Like it really needed it.

There was a shake of her head and a deep breath.

Kelly: I think I can probably guess why that information managed to leak out of your sisters office to Christian.

Seth: My guess is she wasn’t happy I put Scarlett in as the referee for Jo and Savannah’s match, so she purposefully precluded you so she could get you to try to take her out beforehand. The ironic part is her plan backfired since Savannah still won, even with a different referee that I assigned immediately. In any event, I….am sorry this took place. I do have a few bright spots out of all this for you, however.

Kelly: Yeah, it wasn’t exactly the Unstoppable moment I was hoping for in my hometown; in the Jets MetLife.

She shrugged her shoulders.

Kelly: Guess I’m going to have to wait a couple more years for that. Still… I’m sorry I almost ruined your plans. You said there are some bright spots though?

Seth: More than one. First of all, you will get to be in front of your home state for our upcoming charity event with Future Shock, FFW Taps Out Cancer on October 11th. That’ll be in Brooklyn, and you will be a major part of that show and all for an extremely worthy cause.

Kelly: Thank you. I’m looking forward to it already and hopefully we’ll be able to make an eyewateringly huge amount of money that day and really make a massive difference in a lot of lives.

Seth: Secondly, I received a message that my sister is also barring Savannah from being part of Global Wars this year. So I thought since she tried to use you, who better to be on Team USA this year than you?

The blonde nodded her head.

Kelly: I’d love to. I’d love to represent my country. I’ve never been part of Global Wars and I’ve been trying for a couple of months to try and get myself noticed enough for me to be included in it. Maybe after Savannah and Steph came so close last year - who were a massive improvement over previous Team USA’s - maybe this year we’ll get over that final hurdle and  bring home the gold medals and the bragging rights. Have you decided who else who will be representing Team USA this year?

Seth: I didn’t, but my sister did. She’s already selected someone to be on Team USA, but that’s why I wanted to officially add you before she filled the other spot. You know her well, your partner will be the reigning Fast Track Champion Scarlett Silver.

There was another nod from the former blonde.

Kelly; Well… Scarlett is certainly talented, a very good wrestler and a huge threat to everyone when she stays completely focused on the job in hand. I know that much first hand. At least with CK managing her too, we’ll have something in common and should be able to get on the same page. Certainly think it makes Team USA one of the favourites going into this tournament.

Seth: You’ll have your first test as a team together at Sin & Sacrifice against another team Samantha has already placed to return, the Brazilian Storm representing Brazil.

Kelly: It’s certainly no surprise that she’s made sure The Franchise are represented in this tournament and they’ve certainly done pretty well in past years. First year they were in right up until the battle royale...before they choked and fell at the final hurdle. And then, well I guess they’d say they got unlucky due to the injury Bianca suffered partway through that for not running away with it the way they always claim they’re going too. Sure, they’re the established team with all the chemistry and experience compared to Scarlett and I who might have to work out a few kinks at Sin & Sacrifice… but I’m pretty confident we can apply the brakes to their challenge but it really gets going and take a couple of points away from them.

Seth: Good luck to you both. The Global Wars series will begin in September. And welcome to the fray, Mrs. Kincaid.

As he finishes, the show heads back to the ring.




Still The Best

“HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS?! BAD THINGS COME IN TWOS,
BUT I NEVER KNEW... ABOUT THE LITTLE THINGS!”

The usual “The Little Things” by Danny Elfman begins playing but the Unity Tag champions don’t come out quite yet. Instead, under the spotlights of yellow and hot pink and green, Christian Kincaid and the former Evolution champion Stephanie Stefano come out halfway down the entrance way. They look around the KFC Yum Center before they slowly look back behind them. Ssllooowwwlllyyy, walking out to a standing ovation as they creep behind their manager and fellow faction member... Mickey Scarborough and Raquel Fair come out on either side... They still look like they’re wearing a few scars of war, especially Mickey for Amazon-related reasons, but both women have in their hands not only the Unity Tag championships... But the now defunct Tornado Tag championships.

“Every single day, things get in my way. Someone has to pay, for the little things.”

Maggie: Accompanied to the ring by Christian Kincaid and Stephanie Stefano... Your reigning and defending UNITY TAG CHAMPIONS... AND THE VERY LAST TORNADO TAG CHAMPIONS... THIS IS MICKEY SCARBOROUGH AND RAQUEL FAIR... THE SCARBOROUGH FAIR!!

Mickey and Raquel begin walking to the ring, but they both stop as Stephanie offers to hold a title from each of them. Mickey hands her Unity Tag championship and Raquel her Tornado Tag championship, so both can hold one from each division, the one still standing and the other that had been absorbed. All four head into the ring as the music keeps going until it fades away... The Fair enjoying the reveling of the fans before they look at their tag titles. Stephanie seems only happy to remain silent, hanging in the corner and holding onto the extra tag titles... Raquel reaches through the ropes and asks Maggie for the microphone... Before she nods to Christian and holds it out for their manager.

Christian: Three weeks ago tonight, I sat ringside and called one of the wildest and most devastating ladder matches I have ever seen. It made me cringe at times seeing what the four women in that match put themselves through in order to make history. But on the flip side of that, it also made me proud. I’ve held a few tag titles in my career….and I’m not sure I ever wanted any of them as much as the four women in that match wanted these. I know Claire Black and Serafina DeCaro came back to build their legacy as a great tag team. I don’t think they need to prove anything else. At least not to me. But as badly as they wanted to make history, so too did these two girls right here. There exists no tag team I have ever seen who excels more in a ladder match, able to go through as much, or even has competed in as many as the two women surrounding me. They’ve been ridiculed at times. They’ve been insulted plenty. But none of the people who did that can say that they have done what Mickey and Raquel have done. None of them can say they unified FFW’s two tag titles on the biggest stage in women’s wrestling. None of them can say they did it in front of over 80,000 people in MetLife Stadium and a worldwide Pay Per View audience. And none of them ever WILL be able to say it. While Claire and Serafina have nothing to prove, the Scarborough Fair….are exactly what the show calls itself……..UNSTOPPABLE.

Both Mickey and Raquel look at each other before Mickey quietly claps and Raquel mouths, ‘well, we might as well like, pack it in now’. They slowly stop before Raquel takes a bow to Christian and takes the microphone.

Raquel: Christian’s got it right on a couple points. Serafina and Claire? Pretty much went as hard and as physically able as could be and they had nothing to prove because everyone’s knows they’re one of the best teams around, everyone knew it when they got together, everyone knew it even up to and past and Unstoppable... But me and Mickey... Me and Mickey like needed this. This bit of vindication in our careers, this victory... Knowing that when it comes to the ladder match we’ve got no equal... No equal in any team, anywhere, anyhow... Undefeated in ladder matches... And most of all... The only champions in the history of Femme Fatale Wrestling that can say we’ve held the Unity and Tornado Tag titles at the same time. Look closely guys because these are the Tornado Tag titles... And they are very much ours. ...So uh, what’s the write off on these?

Mickey: Can we like, carry one of each as long as we’re tag champs?

Raquel: I don’t think that’s how it like, works.

Mickey: ...No?

Raquel looks slowly at Steph for confirmation, and at Christian before looking back at Mickey.

Raquel: No.

Mickey: VERY WELL THEN!

Mickey points her index finger upward before taking the microphone in her hand and walking about with one of the tag championships on her shoulder.

Mickey: We can say it now... We can. We can say now we’re in the same league as far as tag teams are concerned with the BSX, with the One Woman Show, with every single absolute tag team that has ever like, walked through those doors and with the best--

Raquel: --and most well paid--

Mickey: --manager in the world and our glorious leader over here and former Evolution champion...

Stephanie shrugs her shoulders slowly, before looking at the tag team titles she’s wearing as drapery.

Mickey: ...the Scarborough Fair is finally sitting at the mountaintop. We’re not done though. Oh people are still gonna crack wise, and still gonna make their little jabs and all that basic bitchness... And they can do it however and whenever they like. Because we’ll be welcoming it... Welcoming it and EVERY single tag team back there because with the fall of one pair of tag titles, means the entire division is open season and these undisputed Unity Tag titles on our shoulders... Now are the biggest targets in FFW’s tag scene... And you know what we say to anyone who’s coming after us... ‘Quels... What do we say?

Mickey tosses the microphone to Raquel who looks back at the top of the entrance, raising her tag title high overhead with a smirking grin as Mickey joins her, looking in the same direction.

Raquel: Come if you dare... STEP TO THE SCARBOROUGH FAIR!!

“The Little Things” by Danny Elfman begins playing as the girls take a moment to climb opposite turnbuckles, taking their other titles from Stephanie before raising both sets, current and retired and raising them high overhead as we cut to commercial.

[Adam Grant]

“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. 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. Then, side by side, they walk down the entrance ramp, trash-talking the audience.

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: Introducing first, accompanied by Bianca Salvador... From Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, by way of Craigleigh, Scotland... MEL AVILO!

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, kissing the bulging muscle, Mel’s smirk becomes a grin as she gives the camera, and the viewers at home, some choice words about their opponents. 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, only to wave them off and regroup, going to their corner. Bianca sits on the top turnbuckle and Mel docks herself there, as they wait for their match to begin while they strategize.

Zack: The story between the Brazilian Storm and the Burning Star Express is WELL known, and just when we think there are no more chapters of that rivalry to write... Here we are again! The Brazilian Storm is in the house, and strikingly enough, no Kyle Kilmeade, which is always a welcome absence.

Mai: Mel Avilo doesn't need more than Bianca at ringside! As a matter of fact, she doesn't even need Bianca here; she's a powerhouse that can EASILY outmaneuver Andi Takata!

Zack: Then why IS Bianca Salvador out here?

Mai: Moral support, of course!

CUE THE SOUNDCHIP! An 8-bit version of the song from the Goonies start playing as the main lights dim down in the arena, with small star spotlights in a variety of colors flying around the crowd. 8-bit stars fill the videoboards, right up until the words start and Andi Takata comes sprinting out of the back to hit her mark.

# GOOD -GOOD- GOOD

Andi hops into place, already in her Magical Girl pose, with blue and white sparkling pyro popping behind her, and the videoboards all exploding into pixellated color madness! The bassline kicks in and Andi dances for a moment before she starts to head for the ring, taking her time to enjoy her 'Starlights'!

#Here we are, Hanging onto strains of greed and blues
#Break the chain then we break down
#Oh it's not real, if you don't feel it
#Unspoken expectations
#Ideals we used to play with
#Finally taking shape for us.

By this time, Andi has reached the ringside fans, and cues them up for the dance party!

#What's good enough (good enough)
#For you is
#Good enough (good enough)
#For me it's good enough (good enough)
#It's good enough for me
#Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!

And when Pacman whirrs down, Andi punches the air above her and makes her way back around the ring to get to the rest of her Starlights, before heading up the steps and into the ring....

#goodgoodgoodgoodgood...

Maggie: And her opponent, from The Great Cosmos by way of Akibahara, Japan... She is The Lucky Star... ANDI TAKATA!

#Old fashioned superstitions
#I find too hard to breaaaak
#Maybe you're out of place whaaaat's

The song builds up again, and Andi, after running the ropes by this point, stops in the middle, to rally EVERYONE up to join her in a big ol' Caramelldanse! And most do!

#Good enough (good enough)
#For you is
#Good enough (good enough)
#For me It's good enough (good enough)
#It's good enough for me
#Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!!

Andi runs up the turnbuckles for one last go! Keep dancing everyone!

#Good enough (good enough)
#For you Is
#Good enough (good enough)
#For me.. It's good, it's good enough
#It's good enough for me
#Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!!

Andi does her v-pose on the middle rope before she hops down and the song fades away.

Zack: It's usually the other half of the Storm that Andi is up on the throat of, but this time it's the powerhouse of the Storm against the speedster of the Express. This is a matchup, interestingly enough, we haven't seen, considering their series.

Mai: And Mel will prove her superiority over Andi, no problem. I mean, have you SEEN Andi Takata's streak recently?! Ever since her match with Bianca Salvador she can't buy herself a win if her life depended on it!

Zack: She did defeat people like Ji-Hu Myeong recently--

Mai: Psh, details.

As the bells ring, Andi and Mel start circling the ring, studying one another's moves. Mel raises her hands to invite Andi into a lock-up, but Andi decides to do something else with her time: she starts clapping, inviting the audience into the match. Sure enough, the crowd buys into it and starts following Andi with the clap... And Mel is obviously not amused. The Storm cast dirty looks at the Space Princess before they get back with the program of circling the ring. Mel raises her arms again but doesn't give Andi much of a space to react, and the two eventually lock up. Using her strength advantage over the former Future Shock Champ, Mel makes Andi bend down over her knee, grinning down at the blue-haired wrestler. Andi powers back up, and again the two are standing up straight... But Mel pushes Andi step by step into the corner, pushing her head against the top turnbuckle. The referee immediately jumps in to count Mel out, and the powerhouse of the Storm never lets go, being dragged away from her opponent at a count of 5.

Zack: Right off the bat, Mel Avilo showing her strength superiority over Andi. Mel has a full 25 pounds on Andi, even if the height advantage of 2 inches doesn't seem much to write home about.

Mai: It's because unlike Andi, Mel is muscular! And top-heavy! Very top-heavy. In all the good ways.

Zack: ... are you talking about her biceps or her breasts?

Mai: Why, both, of course!

The referee starts admonishing Mel to knock it off, but the Brazilian wrestler wants none of it as she shoves the referee away from her and sticks her arm out, dashing towards Andi to smack her with a corner lariat... Nobody home! Andi grabs the top rope and yanks herself away from danger, and Mel strikes the turnbuckles with her chest! The Brazilian turns around as Andi repositions herself in the center of the ring, and again the brunette bolts towards the Japanese wrestler. Andi leaps, grabbing Mel by the arm and sending her across the ring with a Japanese arm drag. Mel quickly gets up, only for Andi to leap onto her shoulders and bring her right back down with a leg scissors takedown. Andi powers back to her feet and Andi quickly leaps onto her shoulders again with a huracanrana! Mel powers right back up, and this time Andi leaves the mat again and strikes her chest with a dropkick to the chest that sends her sitting to the far turnbuckle! Instead of powering to her feet, Mel rolls out of the ring and immediately regroups with Bianca, while the Hall of Famer smirks at her blood rivals.

Mai: See? Exactly what I was talking about! Moral support! Mel is regrouping with Bianca here to strategize and nothing more! Mel don't need no stinkin' distractions!

Zack: Yeah, after Andi Takata took her to school with her breakneck speed! The Space Princess is showing high-flyers how it's done, and the Storm wants none of that!

The referee starts counting Mel out, and the Storm starts arguing with the referee about it. Andi even threatens to take a suicide dive into the Brazilian duo, but the Typhoon brandishes her kendo stick to warn Takata not to try anything cheeky. Eventually, a disgruntled Mel yanks the kendo stick from Bianca, smashes it into the ground and then climbs back into the ring while still holding her weapon. The referee immediately gets in the way, yanking the stick from Mel's hands. And then the distraction happens: as the referee turns her back to the match to dump the kendo stick out of the ring, Mel dashes at Andi and DECKS HER WITH A BALLED FIST TO THE NOSE, and the Space Princess crumbles! Bianca grabs the kendo stick back and claps as Mel points to her own head. The referee turns around to see Andi completely wasted dead center of the ring, oblivious that an illegal move has been used.

Zack: What were you saying about "needing no stinkin' distractions"?

Mai: Is it my fault that the Franchise girls are the most resourceful unit since forever in this company?! What, now you're going to fault them for being the full package?

Zack: Not when I can fault you for being kind of a hypocrite first.

Mel grabs Andi by the head and forces her to stand on her feet, only to strike her with an ax handle to the shoulder blades to send her right back down. Andi rolls onto her stomach and gets on her fours, but is struck right back down with a stomp to the shoulder. Outside the ring, Bianca is taunting the crowd to keep clapping like they were before, but all they want to do right now is boo. Inside the ring, Mel deadlifts Andi on her arms and parades around the ring with her for a little while before powerslamming her right back down. Andi sits up arching her back and Mel shakes her head before connecting with elbow shots to the Space Princess' sternum before opening a bit of a distance and then dashing towards her and delivering a sound penalty kick to her back. As Andi arches her back, Mel pumps an arm up and the Storm shouts in unison: "GOALLLLL!!!"

Mai: GOAL! Did you know that Mel Avilo's soccer team of choice, Botafogo, is a two-time Brazilian Champion? Maybe she learned to kick a perfect goal kick with them!

Zack: And while that information has absolutely nothing to do with this match, that was sure a kick that would leave many an NFL punter envious.

Andi is slowly but surely making her way back to her feet, dragging herself to the ropes to get some leverage. Mel helps with the process by pulling her back to her feet, only to press her into the ropes and then send her running across the ring. Andi dashes across the ring and bounces on the ropes across from where she came from with the built-up momentum, only to hit the brakes as she sees Mel crouching to back body drop her... And Mel eats a superkick that rockets her upper body skyward! Andi dashes to the parallel ropes and hops onto the second rope, springing herself into Mel and bringing her right down to the mat with a crossbody block! She stays on top of the Brazilian opponent for a pinfall!

ONE!

TW-- NO!!! Mel powers out with authority!

Andi rolls back to her feet, and Mel quickly powers back up as well, watching as the blue-haired wrestler dashes to the ropes again, coming for her with another springboard move attempt, diving into her for a flying clothesline... AND COUNTERING THAT WITH A SAVATE KICK TO ANDI'S FACE! Andi crumbles and Mel collapses to her fours... the latter smirking victoriously. From there, Mel rolls over to where Andi is and makes a cover.

Zack: OH MY GOD, WHAT A KICK!!!

ONE!

TWO!

NO!!! Andi powers out!

Zack: And no more than a two-count! Andi has one of the biggest hearts in the industry right now!

Mel growls at the referee before getting back to her feet and forcing Andi to stand up. Once more, Mel deadlifts Andi onto her arms, only to hurl her backward with a powerful back body drop that sends Andi across the ring. Avilo once more gets up and forces her opponent to stand up, throwing her to the closest set of ropes. Andi hits the ropes with her chest and staggers backward into Mel, who grabs her from behind and executes a belly-to-back suplex that sends the Space Princess tumbling across the ring. Mel then rolls back to her feet and makes a beeline to Andi, leaving the mat and crashing into her opponent with a frog splash. The referee quickly gets in position to count a pin, but Mel gets up and shakes her head, signaling she's not done yet. She then positions Andi next to the corner and opens some distance, only to dash to the corner, leap over Andi and then grab the top rope, using it as a handle to let her body fall on top of Andi's with a body splash... NOPE! Andi rolls out of the way and Mel crashes into the mat face first!

Zack: Nobody home! Mel went for that rope aided splash, but Andi quickly saw through that and Mel found nothing but mat!

Mai: It was the only thing Andi could do not to get smothered under all of that Brazilian goodness. But in all honesty, I have no idea why anyone would turn down being smothered by Mel Avilo!

Andi uses the ropes as leverage to get up, and Mel powers back to her feet, but stumbling over her own feet after hitting the mat with her forehead. As she awkwardly makes a beeline to Andi, the Space Princess sends her right back down to the mat with a drop toe hold. Mel rolls over onto her back, and Andi maliciously delivers a stomp to her FACE. Bianca protests it immediately, brandishing the kendo stick, but Andi shrugs at the blonde and then stomps Mel's face AGAIN. Takata then repositions Mel parallel to the ropes and then runs the ropes to build up speed. As Andi leaps over Mel and then hops onto the second rope, Bianca quickly circles the ring and grabs Mel by the outside arm and leg, dragging her out of the ring. Andi flips in midair in what would've been a moonsault, but manages to cancel it and land on her feet, watching as the Storm regroups again, much to the crowd's chagrin.

Zack: And again Mel finds herself outside the ring, thanks to a timely save by Bianca Salvador. And I know what you're going to say, Mai: "best friend" and whatever; but are we sure that's the best strategy?

Mai: The Franchise are master strategizers! They're not a legendary, two-time Unity Champion team for nothing!

At ringside, it looks like Mel is clutching at her eyes as if the stomps she received to the face blinded her. Meanwhile, in the center of the ring, Andi bounces on the balls of her feet and looks over the cheering crowd, who already know what's coming next. And sure enough, Andi dashes to the ropes to build up momentum, coming back to where the Storm is and diving through the ropes to catch them both with a topé suicida... EXCEPT BIANCA STRIKES HER WITH THE KENDO STICK UP THE HEAD AND ANDI CRUMBLES TO RINGSIDE!!! The referee catches that and IMMEDIATELY rings the bell!

Zack: OH!!! BIANCA JUST STRUCK ANDI TAKATA WITH THAT DAMNED KENDO STICK!!! THAT CAN ONLY MEAN...

Maggie: The referee has ruled this match a DISQUALIFICATION! Therefore, your winner... ANDI TAKATA!

With the match over, Bianca proceeds to smash the kendo stick into Andi repeatedly, as the crowd boos her relentlessly. Bianca eventually throws the kendo stick away and comes back for Mel's aid again, as the brunette half of the Storm is still clutching at her eyes. The Typhoon readily steals Zack's bottle of water at ringside and gives it to Mel so she can wash her face...

Zack: HEY! That's MY water!

Mai: It'snot like you drank all of it anyway! Think about how you're doing the Storm a favor with your leftover water!

... but this time it's Andi with the kendo stick! As the Space Princess grabs the Franchise's signature weapon and runs after the Storm, Bianca and a recovered Mel quickly retreat, circling the ring and hightailing away from the disgruntled Hall of Famer!

Zack: And NOW they're running! Nothing gained here tonight, as Bianca Salvador disqualifies her best friend Mel Avilo, and Andi Takata is beside herself!

Mai: Bianca Salvador just PROTECTED her best friend Mel Avilo, lemme fix that for ya! What good is a wrestler when they can't see?! It's Andi who should've been disqualified!!!

And it's on Takata's growling, seething expression as she eyeballs knives and laser beams at the Storm that we fade out to something different.



Expect Greatness

We're sent backstage once more, as FFW's ace reporter Allison Marx stands by.

A. Marx: Good evening, Faithful, I'm Allison Marx and this is another edition of the Marx Out. Here with me at this time is FFW's former Ultraviolence Champion, and the self-proclaimed Goddess of Hardcore... The Outlaw, Alysson Gardner.

The camera pans out to reveal the Outlaw herself, clad in her spiked leather jacket and also wearing her malicious smirk.

A. Marx: Alysson, in the next edition of Velocity, you have a match against one half of the Undisputed FFW Unity Champions, Mickey Scarborough. But before we get to that... The question inside everyone's minds. Back at Unstoppable, you brutally assaulted Nevaeh Summers with your crowbar after she was summoned to the ring to, um... Apologize to Cassandra Mason. Why did you do that? Why such brutality against someone who wasn't even dressed, let alone allowed to wrestle?

The Outlaw's smirk melts into an expression of annoyance as she groans at her reporter namesake before shaking her head.

A. Gardner: It would've been so nice if you stopped with your first sentence. Why are we giving the time of day to someone who's freaking SUSPENDED? Are you REALLY going to have me mention someone who should've been forgotten by the FFW Faithful entirely until she had the guts to face a wellness test without bitching and moaning about it? I'd rather talk about people who are NOT suspended. Like Mickey Scarborough. So, ignoring completely your first questions and going straight to the subject that matters--

A. Marx: Alysson, she WAS summoned to the ring, she WAS seen by the Faithful and you DID attack her. We cannot really brush such happening under the rug. You've been adamant on social media that you wouldn't wrestle Nevaeh Summers while she wasn't allowed to work for FFW, so why did you attack her at Unstoppable?

Alysson now seethes at Marx, making the smaller reporter flinch a bit before the redhead growls into the mic:

A. Gardner: Because FANS aren't allowed to be inside MY ring. If an idiot jumps inside my fucking ring, they should expect to eat a fucking beating. That idiot had no place jumping the barricade to be inside my ring, and hopefully she's learned a lesson. But since you REALLY want me to give airtime to that idiot, how about we mention the fact she has PLENTY more people to apologize to, not just Cassandra Mason? How about we mention the fact she LIED to FFW and she only kowtowed to the ONE person that demanded her to do so because she was pressed into doing so? Do you really think anyone should offer her any kind of respect after the shitshow she pulled since word got out she's a dirty little wellness dodger?

Gardner then shakes her head and crosses her arms.

A. Gardner: And she thinks calling me a "sorry maggot" is gonna throw me off the scent. Nah, baby. You know what REALLY grinds my gears? It's the stupid little support network she has around herself, with all the suck-ups ready to white-knight her. I have no respect for her, just as I have no respect for anyone that enables that little piece of shit; and I would be VERY thankful if you never mentioned her name again, if you'd please.

... Alli Marx slowly brings the mike back to herself...

A. Marx: ... sure, uh, let's talk about your upcoming match with Mickey Scarborough. Her and her partner Raquel Fair have unified the two tag team championships of FFW, and it's not news for anyone that the Shades of the Sun, the team of your wife Valerie Lamb and yourself, want to join the Unity division and fight for those belts. What should we expect from this new endeavor of yours?

Alysson then smirks widely.

A. Gardner: What ELSE should you expect from a Hall of Famer, FFW's legendary warrior... And myself, the most iconic Ultraviolence Champion ever? Expect greatness. Expect bloodshed. Expect the rise of a new pair of queens in FFW's team division. This upcoming match of mine with Mickey is just the beginning. Before you all know it... FFW's team division will be burning... Under OUR sun.

And then, the Outlaw storms out of the scene, leaving her namesake behind. Fade out to something completely different.



No Frilly Lilly

A clip takes us back to Unstoppable 9 showing Lilly Arthur’s entrance with the legendary James Earl Jones announcing her as well as highlights from her match with Jolyne Dysart. After that, we cut back to the live broadcast and find her with her husband backstage.

Colin: Holy cow, what a night! Pretty much every title in FFW changed hands at Unstoppable 9, and that’s a good omen. Because this woman right here…

He pointed both hands towards his wife.

Colin: The Sheffield Show Stealer…..the British Bombdrop…...the No Frilly Lilly herself….got herself a Fast Track title shot! And just like all the other title matches when she gets it, the English Excellence of Execution will take that title!

Lilly blushed ever so slightly.

Lilly: Well sure. I mean, I’ll be doing my best to bring the Fast Track Championship home with me. But it’s certainly easier said than done and I wouldn’t want to disrespect Scarlett by thinking it’s a foregone conclusion. After all, she’s an extremely talented wrestler, look at the people that she’s beaten - Ruby Tyler, Kassidy, Kelly Kincaid, Andi Takata, Bianca Reed. That’s quite a list of very talented women right there. There’s a reason why she’s held that title three times now; the only person to have held it more than once. And of course, she’s already gotten a victory over me - albeit on my return to the FFW. When I step into ring to face her, I’m going to have to be at my best… I’m going to have to be the Show Stealer, the Bombdrop, the Unfrilly one and execute everything pretty much perfectly. But I feel pretty confident that I can do that; that I can even the score with Silver and walk away with the Fast Track Championship. On my day, I believe I can be better than her.

Colin: I believe you can be too, even in your sleep. But we should also give a shout out to your special guest ring announcer for Unstoppable. Do you think James Earl Jones was a good luck charm at all? Not often Darth Vader introduces you.

Lilly: A massive, huge, enormous shout out to James Earl Jones. It was such an incredible thrill to have the most iconic voice in the world announce me and I cannot thank him enough for being there live and in person. Was he a good luck charm? Maybe. I don’t know. Jolyne put up a great fight, but I was better on the night. Either way, thank you to James Earl Jones for doing what he did and making a dream come true.

Colin: Yeah, I got to work with him too on his performance. He was a little green when it came to the job, but I helped him get everything perfect. He’s a class act, and I hope we get to work together on future projects. Maybe he could do voiceovers for some of your hype videos I make. I am working on one now with you replacing Ripley in the Alien franchise.

Lilly hesitated for a moment.

Lilly: Yeah...you maybe, might, possibly get to work on future projects together...might be a long way in the future. I mean, I’m not sure we should infringe too much upon his valuable time. Besides… maybe… maybe we should look at sharing your brand of creative genius with other celebrities. Perhaps Sigourney Weaver or Michael Biehn for the Aliens thing? Appeal more to their particular fanbases? And it couldn’t hurt to network further could it?

Colin: Maybe! But I also came across the name of the agent for another celebrity I want to work with. This guy’s also had some big roles. We should call them actually….  You know Jeff Goldblum, right?

Lilly: I’ve… I’ve heard of him. He’s certainly...yeah. There’s a lot of different projects he could help you out with. We should definitely call him. Tomorrow. Or Monday. During office hours perhaps.

She follows after her rather excitable husband before we head elsewhere.



What Adam Wants

When the show heads to the back, we see two hands meeting and shaking before the shot pulls back to see Seth and the Future Shock Director Adam Grant. Seth gives him a pat on the arm before he speaks.

Seth: Hello, Mr. Grant.

Adam: Hi. I’m still a little surprised at what you’ve allowed me to do tonight. I mean, I’ve never been able to book the main roster before.

Seth: I said people are going to get what they deserve. And you’ve done a fine job with Future Shock. So tonight is your night. You have free reign to book whatever you like for any show you want coming up. Just name it.

Adam still seems taken aback by this before he nods his head.

Adam: Well there’s a match for Sin & Sacrifice that I think could easily be a main event caliber match that fans, myself included, would like to see.

Seth: Let’s hear it.

Adam: I was thinking for Sin & Sacrifice, we put Caroline “Killer C” Dallins going one on one with the “Emerald City Siren” Sophia Pike.

This gets a pop from the crowd, and a very impressed look from Seth.

Seth: That…..that is an outstanding match, Mr. Grant. I’d like to see that too. So…..consider it official for the Pay Per View next month. What else did you have in mind?

Adam: I don’t know about you, but I was extremely impressed with KO/TO at Unstoppable 9. Even if they were a little short, I feel like they deserve another crack at getting a shot for the Unity Championship. So….I was thinking we could put them in a tag match against the Shades of the Sun.

Seth: Now that is indeed a hell of a tag team match, and I’ll see to it that it gets added to the schedule. I appreciate these ideas. Is there anything else you want to see?

Adam: There is actually. I don’t know if there’s a plan already set, but I think Bianca Reed deserves another shot at the Fast Track Championship after her showing at Unstoppable 9. So I’d like to see her get a shot after Lilly gets hers.

Seth: I’m one step ahead of you here, Mr. Grant. I had already all but decided to give her another opportunity. But I guess great minds think alike. With your suggestion, consider it booked.

Adam starts look more relieved, hearing that none of his ideas were being shot down.

Adam: I also had an idea for Angelina Fantastica.

The pair continue their conversation as Breaking Point heads elsewhere.

[Adam Grant]

Maggie: The following contest is your main event of the evening and it is scheduled for one fall to a finish. And the winner will get to pick the stipulation for the Ultraviolence Championship match at Sin & Sacrifice!

The lights go out completely as the opening guitar riff of ‘Is this the way you get to hell by Stitched up heart’ starts to play. A red spotlight hits highlighting a handbasket sitting on the otherwise empty stage.

Is this the way you get to hell?
Is this the way you get to hell in a handbasket?
You will tear me apart.
You will tear apart my mind, My simple mind.
It's just cause you hurt so bad,
That you end up blind, You end up blind.
Is this the way you… Is this the way you...
Is this the way you…

A second spotlight hits at the entrance to see Raven Knight standing with her arms raised above her head making the bottom of her top raise enough to show part of her taut abdomen. Boos erupt from the crowd which just bring a smirk to the resident firestarter’s face.

Dripping from bloody fingers,
Running from the palms of my hands.
Dripping from bloody fingers,
I didn’t even have a chance.
Dripping from bloody fingers,
Running from the palms of my hands.

Maggie: Introducing at this time...from Providence, Rhode Island,--weighing in at one-hundred twenty pounds, she is the “The Dark Raven:” RAVEN KNIIIIGHT!

I will tear you apart.
I will tear apart your mind, Your simple mind.
It's just cause I hurt so bad,
That I end up blind, I end up with a simple mind.
Is this the way you… Is this the way you...
Is this the way you…

Raven walks out onto the stage and approaches the handbasket with the smirk still in place on her face, suddenly she kicks out sending the basket toppling down the ramp and scattering black rose petals in its wake and down the ramp.

Dripping from bloody fingers,
Running from the palms of my hands.
Dripping from bloody fingers,
I didn’t even have a chance.
Dripping from bloody fingers,
Running from the palms of my hands.

Raven walks down the ramp towards the ring with her arms raised either side of her and her middle fingers extended towards the crowd. She speeds up as she nears the ring and jumps up onto the apron, sliding under the bottom rope and jumping to her feet in a quick fluid sequence. She raises her middle fingers to the crowd again before going back to her corner and laughing at the animosity she is getting from the crowd.

Zack: Raven has the most on the line in this match tonight. If she wins not only does she get to pick the stipulation for the UltraViolence Championship match at Sin & Sacrifice, but she gets herself into what will otherwise be a one on one opportunity for Charlotte.

Mai: The more chance of Mal losing the title the better, and if Raven gets into that match that immediately cuts her chances of retaining from 50% to a third.

“Start Me Up” by the Rolling Stones begins to play as Charlotte Harker comes out of the back and bounces on the balls of her feet, taking a moment or two to soak in the atmosphere of the crowd while talking a couple of deep breaths. Shaw joins her, applauding her partner and rallying the crowd behind her, getting only boos before Harker raised her hands in the air.

Maggie: Please welcome, standing 6’2” and weighing 157 lbs, accompanied to the ring by her tag team partner, the “One Woman Show” Shaughnessy O’Neill….CHARLOTTE HARKER!!!

Finally she begins to head to the ring, peacock strutting Mick Jagger style all the way there. Climbing up the ring steps between the ropes, only to find Shaw already there. O’Neill drags her into the ring and holds her arm aloft, dragging her around the ring and telling the crowd that they’re looking at the winner...thanks to Shaw’s help. As the match gets ready to start, the referee tells O’Neill to leave the ring only to get into argument as Shaughnessy tells the official that they can’t tell a premier athlete like Shaw or Charlotte what to do. As the referee finally wins out, Shaw leaves the ring and takes her place on the floor in her partner’s corner as Harker stretches out and makes last minute preparations for the match.

Zack: Charlotte already knows that she will be facing Mallory at Sin & Sacrifice for her chance at the UV Championship, but to keep that match as a one on one opportunity she will want to win tonight. Then she can also have the stipulation of her choosing.

Mai: Charlotte has all the tools she needs, but I don’t think she’s as crazy as Raven. And crazy is hard to predict, much less control.

“SEND ME TO MY GRAVE... SEND ME TO MY GRAVE...”

The sound of a car horn resounding through the arena echoes as a fairly sized custom truck begins to roll in next to the entrance ramp. The hood of the truck has a business name and phone number of a local garage and custom shop painted on for all to see. Driving the vehicle is none other than Mallory Bennett with a grin on her face and the championship belt on her dashboard. She puts the truck in park and shuts it off before stepping out to the cheers of the crowd. Mike O’Phee continues to rip through the sound system as Mallory bangs her head to the beat, title belt on her shoulder while Gillie steps out from the passenger side entrance.

“SEND ME TO MY GRAVE! (BEFORE YOU...)
SEND ME TO MY GRAVE...
I BEEN UP, I BEEN DOWN,
I BEEN LOST, I BEEN AROUND!”

Maggie: Making her way to the ring from Tampa Bay, Florida and accompanied to the ring by Gillie Barnes... Weighing in tonight at 140 pounds... YOUR REIGNING, FFW ULTRAVIOLENCE CHAMPION...This is “MALICIOUS” MALLORY BENNETT!

Mal rolls into the ring and climbs a top turnbuckle before raising her championship belt to the fans with a determined look on her face. She walks towards the opposite turnbuckle and does the same as her song fades out. She takes off her jacket and title, handing them to Gillie on the outside before punching the air, ready to fight.

Zack: A triple threat defence at Sin & Sacrifice is something that Mallory will definitely be wanting to avoid. As long as she or Charlotte win tonight, it will remain one on one. I wonder if that will be enough for these two to team up against a common foe in this match.

Mai: I wouldn’t put it past her to do something like that. She needs all the help she can get.

As referee Kevin Fisk waits for Maggie to make her way out of the ring, the three competitors glare at each other from their respective corners. As soon as Maggie is completely clear, Fisk calls for the bell to get the match underway. Charlotte and Mallory don’t waste a second in making their way to the centre of the ring, whereas Raven props herself against the turnbuckle in her corner, resting her arm on the top rope to make herself comfortable as she watches her opponents. Neither Charlotte nor Mallory look interested in a tie up, which is made even clearer as Charlotte goes for a kick to the Champion’s gut. Mallory sees it coming though and catches her foot, then hammers her other hand into the side of Charlotte’s head. Harker barely keeps her balance as she frees her foot from Mallory’s grasp, and then narrowly ducks down to avoid a second shot to the head from the Champion.

Zack: Charlotte and Mallory are quickly getting down to business, but Raven seems more content to just watch them.

Mai: More fool them, they can wear themselves out while Raven stays fresh as a daisy.

Harker stands back upright and is met with a forearm smash to the jaw from Mallory that whips her head to the opposite side. Bennett goes for a second, but Charlotte quickly dodges her head and grabs Mallory’s arm to stop her. She keeps hold of the Champion’s arm as she delivers a kick to her gut. Another two follow in quick succession which bend Mallory in the middle, and Charlotte releases her grip on Mallory’s arm, and then drives her elbow into her back. She keeps delivery elbow after elbow until Mallory is forced to her knees. As soon as she is down, Charlotte hits her in the side of her head with a knee shot. It takes a second one though to put the Champion flat on the canvas.

Mai: That would have been easier for Charlotte if Mallory actually had anything but empty space between her ears.

Raven starts a slow clap from her corner which draws Charlotte’s attention towards her. As the number one contender starts to make a move towards the firestarter, Mallory jumps to her feet behind her. Grabbing her by the head, Mallory takes Charlotte across with a bulldog into the corner turnbuckle where Raven was just standing. Knight jumps onto the apron at the last second to avoid being caught up in the move, getting her a massive amount of disdain from the Louisville crowd. The UV Champion reaches through the ropes to try and grab the firestarter, but Raven grabs her hands and jumps down off the apron to floor, snapping Mallory’s chest across the middle rope.

Zack: It seems that Raven has finally remembered she’s actually in this match and it nearly cut Mallory in two!

Mai: Oh god! Could you imagine two of her running around, what a nightmare that would be. Double doses of boredom.

Mallory pulls herself off the rope clutching her chest and glaring daggers at Raven on the floor. Meanwhile Charlotte starts to pull herself together in the corner. Knight climbs back into the ring as Mallory is rising to her feet and as soon as she is fully vertical, Raven takes off towards her and uses a battering ram to send her several steps backwards. Knight straightens up to follow, but Charlotte catches her from behind and uses a running bulldog to faceplant her onto the canvas. As Harker goes to roll Raven onto her back, Mallory tackles her with a spear that sends her to the mat with a thud. Mounting her chest, Mallory starts to unload right hands into the side of her head. Harker manages to shove the Champion off her and starts pulling up to her knees. Undeterred Mallory goes straight back to aim another shot, but Charlotte powers back to her feet and grabs Mallory’s arm. She twists it around and up her back into a hammerlock and then runs her face first into the neutral corner, but Mallory kicks her foot out in front of her onto the bottom turnbuckle, stopping her face from colliding with the top one.

Mai: Oh c’mon. I was looking forward to seeing her have a face rearranged then. It might have been an improvement.

Zack: Quick reflexes from Mallory showing through there. It might have saved her from face planting the turnbuckle but Charlotte still has her where she wants her at the moment

Charlotte tries again to ram Mallory’s face into the top turnbuckle but with her foot on the bottom one it doesn’t happen. Instead Mallory fires her head back trying to headbutt Charlotte, but the number one contender ducks her head to the side so that Mallory misses completely. Harker twists the hammerlock tighter and pulls Mallory out of the corner, only to run her into the opposite one. Mallory attempts to get her foot on the bottom turnbuckle again, but it slides straight over the top of it so she hits the top turnbuckle face first. Mallory fires her free arm back, trying to hit Charlotte with a back elbow. The number one contender narrowly avoids one and then slams the Champion’s face into the turnbuckle for a second time. Releasing the hammerlock, Charlotte wraps her arms around Mallory’s waist and then uses a German suplex to dump her unceremoniously on the canvas. Harker goes straight for a cover as Fisk slides into position.

Zack: The first pinfall attempt of this match and it’s Charlotte with the cover over the Champion.

ONE!!!

T-WHOA!!!

The count stops as Raven connects a big boot to Charlotte’s face sending her sprawling backwards off the cover.

Mai: Raven isn’t going to let herself be kept out the party that easily.

Charlotte rolls with the momentum and gets back to her feet as Raven closes the gap between them. Knight catches Charlotte with a European Uppercut that sends her head reeling. An elbow to the side of Harker’s head follows before the firestarter grabs her by the wrist and drops her with a short-arm clothesline. Keeping hold of Charlotte’s arm, Raven pulls her back up into a second, and then a third and a fourth. She pulls her back up to her feet again and fires her across into the ropes. Harker rebounds and Raven connects a Thesz press sending her to the canvas. She starts to rain blows down onto Charlotte’s head, and then grabs her head and starts to bounce it off the canvas like a basketball. The number one contender starts to fire shots of her own to try and get free. Catching her with a kidney shot which freezes her in place for a second, Charlotte shoves her away and straight into the arms of Mallory.

Mai: Who knew that Raven was so good at basketball?

Zack: Mallory has Raven in her grasp now and I doubt that it’s to give her a hug. Both Charlotte and Mallory want to keep Raven out of their Sin & Sacrifice match which has given her a bullseye on her back.

Mallory wraps her arms around Raven’s waist and uses a release German suplex to send her hurtling into the corner. Knight bounces off the turnbuckles and crashes to the canvas in the corner. Using the ropes to steady herself she pulls herself up to her feet, and straight away is met with a corner clothesline from Mallory that pins her against the turnbuckle. The Champion unloads with a series of stiff right and left hands to Raven’s head. A knee to the gut punctuates the flurry which bends the firestarter double, and then an uppercut stands her back upright. Mallory starts to unload with stiff jabs again, before she pulls Raven from the corner and lifts her above her head in a military press. Knight struggles free and lands on her feet behind Mallory. Bennett spins around quickly and grabs Raven, firing her across into the ropes. Raven rebounds and Mallory catches her for spinebuster before she gets herself in place for the cover, prompting Fisk to drop down for the count.

Zack: Mallory is a three count from keeping her first defence a one on one match at Sin & Sacrifice, and getting to pick the stipulation herself.

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Raven gets her shoulder up at the same time as Charlotte pulls the Champion off the cover and back up to her feet.

Mai: She’s further than a three count away now because Charlotte didn’t want to be left out of the fun and games.

Charlotte pushes Mallory back into the ropes and then lifts her up into position getting ready for a snap suplex. Before she can execute the move Raven charges and connects a clothesline sending all three women out of the ring. Mallory and Charlotte crash to the arena floor in a heap, while Raven lands on the edge of the apron. The firestarter pulls herself together quicker then the other two and measures her two opponents below her. She launches herself off the apron looking for a knee drop, but Charlotte and Mallory both roll in opposite directions leaving Raven to land knee first on the arena floor with a yell of pain. Knight rolls onto her side clutching her knee as Charlotte starts to pull herself up to her knees.

Mai: How rude of them?! Making poor Raven land on the floor like that.

Zack: Poor Raven? Mallory was in position for a snap suplex from Charlotte when she was sent flying out of the ring. Raven took it outside and she’s paying the price for that.

Seeing Raven and Mallory down, Charlotte moves quickly to get back to her feet. She heads straight for Raven and picks her up to her feet before firing her across into the steel steps. Raven crashes into them knee first at speed and gives a yell as she clutches her knee again. Charlotte picks Raven up to her feet again and hits her with a kick to the gut before she uses a DDT to drive her head first into the arena floor. Again Charlotte picks Raven up to her feet, this time rolling her back into the ring and following quickly herself for a cover.

Zack: Charlotte is looking to end this right here and now!

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

T-NOPE!!!

Mallory pulls Charlotte off the cover by her foot and straight out of the ring to the arena floor. Harker hits her head off the apron on the way down and lands in a heap. Mallory hits her with a stomp to the mid section for good measure before she makes her way back into the ring. Seeing Raven still down, she heads to the corner and scales to the top turnbuckle. She steadies herself then looks to make sure Raven is still in place…. But she isn’t. Knight pops up in the corner and pulls Mallory’s foot from underneath her causing her to fall and land straddling the top turnbuckle.

Mai: That’s what she gets for trying to go up top, if she’d had half a brain she would have just gone straight for a cover.

Zack: It looked like Mallory was going to go for some kind of diving move, but Raven had other ideas.

Raven climbs onto the middle rope with a foot on either side of the corner. She grabs hold of Mallory and starts to get into position for a superplex. Before she can execute the move, Charlotte appears back in the ring. She charges towards the two and gets Raven into position for a powerbomb, as Raven executes the superplex.

Zack: Woah! Tower of doom! Raven and Mallory are both down and Charlotte isn’t looking too great either.

Charlotte scoots across to Raven first. She drives her elbow into the downed firestarter’s ribs and then gets into position for a cover. She hooks a leg as Fisk slides into position for the count.

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

TH-NO!!!

Raven manages to get her shoulder up and Charlotte doesn’t skip a beat in diving across to Mallory, to attempt the pin on her instead. Fisk moves across with her to start the count again.

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-NO!!!

The count ends as Raven pulls Mallory out from underneath Charlotte just in the nick of time. Charlotte scowls at Raven and then looks to the referee asking for the three. Fisk shakes his head and holds up two fingers to confirm.

Zack: Charlotte didn’t mind who she pinned as long as she pinned somebody, but Raven is determined to have herself included in the match at Sin & Sacrifice.

Mai: Mallory needs to send her a gift basket to thank her for saving her behind there.

Zack: I doubt that very much.

Mallory staggers back to her feet looking a little unsteady but spurred on by Gillie on the outside and the Louisville crowd as Raven gets as far as her knees. Mallory takes off towards her and connects her bicycle high knee which wobbles Raven but she barely manages to stay on her knees. The Champion takes off towards the ropes and bounces off them, coming back with a second of her bicycle high knees, this time flattening the firestarter to the canvas.

Zack: Double MALICIOUS INTENT. Mallory is not letting this match slip away from her that easily.

Bennett starts to get into position for a cover, but before she can Charlotte pulls her off and up to her feet. She stands side by side and slightly behind Mallory, facing the opposite direction. She reaches around Mallory’s body with one arm, and lifts her to execute her side slam backbreaker and Mallory hits the canvas like a sack of bricks. Charlotte starts to pull her back up to her feet, but Raven pulls the Champion out of Charlotte’s hands and tosses her back to the canvas.

Zack: CHARLOTTE’S CRUCIFIX but Raven has stopped Charlotte from capitalizing on it. And Charlotte does not look happy about that at all.

Charlotte and Raven start trading blows back and forth, but Charlotte quickly starts to get the upper hand and pushes Knight back towards the ropes. Raven raises her hands to cover her face… only instead of covering her face she grabs Charlotte by the head and brings her head down to execute her facebreaker knee smash. Harker stumbles away and Raven quickly grabs her back and gets her in position before executing her front headlock driver. She gets straight into position for the cover and hooks both of Charlotte’s legs as she does. With Fisk in position for the count, Raven kicks her feet up onto the ropes out of his eye line as he starts the count.

Zack: KNIGHT FALL and KNIGHT TERRORS. Raven is three seconds away from being in the UV Championship match and Sin & Sacrifice.

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Raven takes her feet off the ropes as Fisk gets back to his feet to call for the bell.

Mai: Tell ‘em all about it Maggie!

Maggie: Your winner via pinfall……………………………..’THE DARK RAVEN’ RAVEN KNIGHT!

Zack: Raven pulled that off with the help of having her feet up on the ropes!

Mai: I don’t see her feet on the ropes, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Raven gets back to her feet with a smirk as Fisk raises her hand to a massive amount of disdain from the live crowd. She snatches her hand away from the referee and rolls straight out of the ring to head to the back as Charlotte and Mallory both get themselves to a seated position. She gives them both a finger wave as they both stare daggers at her. On that image the show comes to an end.
