FFW Breaking Point - August 10, 2019

[Adam Grant]

Live from the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington
August 10, 2019

The FFW logo is seen on the back of a bench at a bus stop before Nevaeh Summers takes a seat in front of the 10 Star Spa. She checks her cell phone for the time Almost immediately, Casey Atherton joins her on the bench, causing her to roll her eyes as “The Violence” by Asking Alexandria begins to play and a car speeds by the camera. 

Open up, drink it in, don't ask too many questions
Become the vessel for the shame they feed you through suggestion
There's a rumor on the breeze, secrets that bring you to your knees
We made the problem, we are the poison, whoa

As the car whizzes past, the next thing we see is a roll of clips including: Bianca Reed nailing her corkscrew stunner, Elizabeth Lannister standing at the top of the ramp in a black dress, Ruby Tyler and Mallory Bennett fighting in their House Warring match, Leona Vega delivering her gutbuster, and Valentina Lozano dropping an opponent with a backbreaker. 

All they wanted was violence
To plant their seeds and divide us
If they want the worst that's inside us
We'll bring on the violence, the violence

We’re back to the bus stop bench as Casey is reading Scripture to Nevaeh, and the blonde is clearly getting her fill of hearing Casey’s voice. The would-be prophet continues talking as Nevaeh tries to ignore her and taps her fingers on her leg. Her face is starting to scowl at Casey’s continued ministering. Another car blazes past the camera. 

Back and forth, daily take apart what you've been building (Building)
Everything you have is to be fed into the system
There's a force out pushing fear, a deafening silence drawing near
Sit, absorb it, guess we've been toxic all along, all along

The next set of clips features: Jo and Mel hitting the ring during a tag match to start beating on one of the teams involved, Sophia Pike cranking on her armbar submission, Savannah Star looking her husband with a smile on her face, and Shaw thrusting the FFW Championship over her head. 

I'm on the edge and I'm not alone
Remember this is what you asked for
I'm on the edge and I'm not alone
Remember this is what you asked for

At the bus stop, Nevaeh’s had about enough of Casey as she starts forcefully trying to get her to listen. The blonde finally snaps, and starts firing away at her with right hands as a gathered crowd started cheering her on. A bus with “Breaking Point” written on the side zooms past the camera before we are taken inside the arena live to a deafening crowd. Spotlights flash through the crowd as Kat Grayson heads for the ring, while “The Violence” continues to play.

Zack: After the biggest night of the year, the fallout from Unstoppable 10 starts tonight! We are sold out in the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington! Thank you for joining us for what promises to be a wild night!

Mai: Yeah, we get to see who will lose to Bianca Salvador in her first defense of the No Surrender Championship as Lilly and OE face off. But you know what I’m looking forward to?! Melody Lennox, Zack! We have a huge start signing her contract tonight!

Zack: Melody Lennox made an impression on her sister-in-law, Bianca Reed, at Unstoppable. And she may end up regretting that decision! We’ll also see Bianca teaming up with her opponent that night, the Evolution Champion Kelly Kincaid. They’ll meet the Privileged Circle! And a lot more. Take it away, Kat!





The bell sounds a few times as we head up to the ring with the smiling Kat Grayson standing in the center with her microphone.

Kat: The opening contest of Breaking Point is scheduled for one fall to a finish.

Zack: Welcome to the Tacoma Dome here in the PNW of Washington! Thank you for joining us for Breaking Point as the fallout from Unstoppable 10 begins tonight. 

Mai: Like the contract signing of Melody Lennox, Zack. Plus I get to see Nevaeh get her clock cleaned right now.

The arena darkens, bringing with it a large quantity of dry ice. In the ring, the green, white and orange lights pulse until they form the Irish Tricolour in the centre of the ring. It’s this sight that brings about jeering from the audience. As the lights settle, a drumbeat hits the speakers, soon to be followed by a well-known riff that doesn’t quite sound as people would know it to be. It is then that a woman steps out on the stage; Jo McFarlane. Not that you can tell right away - her face is obscured by a white bandana covering her mouth and nose, and she wears a green beanie on her head, which appears to be entirely covering her hair, showing only her eyes. She is also dressed in camouflage; traditional green colours, a long-sleeved jacket and trousers. Through the fog as the crowd begins to jeer, standing by her side, is her father.

If you’re havin’ trouble with the high school head,
He’s givin’ you the blues.
You wanna graduate, but not in his bed,
Here’s what you’re gonna do!
Pick up the phone, I’m always home
Call me anytime.
3624-360, I lead a life of crime.

Kat: Introducing first/And her opponent, from Derry, Northern Ireland, weighing one hundred and twenty seven pounds, she is “THE REBEL CHILD” JOOOOOOOO MCFARLAAAAAAAAANE!

During the verse and Kat’s introduction, Jo first taps the stick on the floor, then starts off down the ramp, towards the ring. Tommy remains a step behind her the whole time...though it’s difficult given the massive height difference. She moves quite quickly, and stops at the bottom. Moving towards a corner at ringside, she drops the kendo stick in her hand against the barricade, making sure the referee sees that she did, giving him a pointed stare.

Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap!
Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap!
Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap!
Dirty deeds, and they’re done dirt cheap.
Dirty deeds, and they’re done dirt cheap.

As the chorus plays and the solo starts up, Jo ascends the stairs, removing the jacket she wears, revealing a similarly coloured top. The beanie soon follows and she steps through the ropes. She then heads towards her corner, where she stands on the middle turnbuckle, looking around her before jumping down. Her father joins her in the corner, and the two exchange words as the music fades out.

Zack: Jo McFarlane had a very good night at Unstoppable, knocking off a fellow Hall of Famer in Andi Takata. She’s essentially gone from end of the Hall to the other tonight though.

Mai: Let’s not forget she is also a member of the Hall of Fame, especially as you aren’t telling people about it. 

As “Rise” by Sixx A.M. we see the arena lights blinking in sync with the lyrics of the music. Nevaeh Summers eventually storms her way onto the stage , fired up, and motioning to the crowd, before stopping at the top of the ramp and looking out at the people. Nevaeh is wearing yellow rimmed sunglasses as well as a white Poisoned by Ivy military jacket with yellow trim. As we keep looking at Nevaeh we see she is wearing yellow colored leather pants running down her leg. The side of each leg is laced up with white colored fabric, showing of her skin. On her feet we see black boots and white kickpads. On the front of each kickpad appears her logo as there is a circle with “NS” in the center of it in Yellow. While “The" scrolls on the top and “Finest” scrolls on the bottom, also in yellow.

Nevaeh looks around the building, nodding her head, as she starts feeling the crowd. “Feel that energy” is what can be heard coming from Nevaeh as she goes about heading down the ramp halfway and begins pointing her left hand out to the crowd and moves it around as if she was conducting them. The crowd moves from left to right, linking arms. Nevaeh then points to the opposite side of the crowd with her right hand, urging that side of the building on the same way, to which they do. Nevaeh lowers her head, her hands still swaying to the crowd till she raises her head up and snaps her arms out to the side.

As Nevaeh strikes her signature pose a row of pyro goes off next to her, starting far out and rushing close to her, before a big unified explosion happens behind her. Nevaeh now lowered her head back down and looked towards the ring and began walking down the ramp with a purpose.

Kat: Making her way to the ring at this time she resides in Los Angeles, California by way of Atlanta, Georgia. She weighs in tonight at 120 pounds. She is Nevaeh Summers!!!

Nevaeh reaches the bottom of the ramp and goes about slapping hands with the fans. Nevaeh now heads to the opposite side and slaps a few more hands before removing her sunglasses and just casually tosses them out towards the crowd. Nevaeh than quickly runs to the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope, and gets to a knee. Nevaeh just looks out for a moment before getting to her feet and shimmies out of her jacket.

Nevaeh then approaches the middle of the ropes facing the hard camera. Nevaeh climbs up them, hooking a leg over the top rope and straddling it. Nevaeh now sits there and looks out to the capacity crowd. The blonde began motioning them to get louder, which they do. She eventually lowers her head and starts motioning her arms as if she's conducting them again. This time we zoom out and capture the front row all around motioning along with her. After a moment Nevaeh snaps her head back and her arms out. Multiple spotlights soon shift down onto her, basking her in the light.

Nevaeh keeps striking the pose till she sees fit. Once she has she gets off the ropes and makes her way to the opposite side of the ring where she puts one foot on the bottom rope and the other on the middle. She bounces on them while looking out to the crowd and stretches her arms out yet again, encouraging them to get louder.

Nevaeh bounces off the ropes and lands on her feet. She starts psyching herself up as she paces back and forth along a corner.

Zack: After what was called a Match of the Year candidate on the biggest stage, you gotta wonder how much Nevaeh’s recovered in just 2 weeks since the hellacious ladder match at Unstoppable. 

Mai: You don’t heal up from like that as fast as 2 weeks. She’s nowhere close to 100%, and she’s in trouble. She could have just forfeited.

Referee Melinda Davis checks both women, and calls for the bell. Jo wastes no time in trying to get the early jump on her opponent, charging her backwards into the corner and driving shoulder thrusts into Nevaeh’s body. Each shot lands hard, but the blonde starts firing back with right hands into the side of her head. She manages to shave Jo off, and come forward with a running forearm to the jaw. It wobbles the redhead for a half second until Nevaeh pulls her head down to bring multiple knees into her face. Jo drops to a knee before Summers jerks her head into a DDT.

Zack: Jo was trying to take advantage of Nevaeh, and that didn’t quite work out according to plan. 

Mai: I don’t blame her. Everything on Nevaeh has to hurt, and I’d have tried to do the same thing if I were her.

Jo was starting to get up again, and Nevaeh pulled her up into a bulldog to drive her head into the middle turnbuckle. It put McFarlane back on her knees in the corner before Summers. She snatched her into a rear waistlock, and popped her hips into a German suplex that sent Jo crashing into the canvas. When she tried to get to all fours, Nevaeh stopped that with a guillotine leg drop to smash her face back into the mat. Another rear waistlock scooped her into a second German suplex, but this one sent Jo into the corner. She landed in a slump against the bottom two turnbuckles before Nevaeh followed her in with a running knee strike. The redhead was dragged out by her feet before getting pulled into a cover. Davis immediately dropped to make the count. 

Zack: Are you absolutely sure Nevaeh isn’t 100%? Because she’s damn near running the table right now!

ONE!!

TWOOOOOOO!!

TH-NOPE!!

Jo kicked out after the two struck, and shoved her opponent off the cover. The blonde popped up to her feet, and took off for the far side. But as she hit the ropes, Tommy cracked a kendo stick across her back to freeze her in her tracks as the referee was checking on Jo. 

Mai: Silly Nevaeh! She needs to stop running into peoples’ stuff like that. Tommy was stretching his arm, and look what clumsy Nevaeh did.

Jo finally began to get her bearings as her father screamed at her. She spotted Nevaeh clutching her back, and immediately used a chop block to bring her down. The crowd turned quickly as Jo began to drive her knee into the canvas repeatedly. Nevaeh’s foot was laid across the bottom rope as Jo left her feet to drive all her body weight into the side of her knee. She did it a second time, and then rolled her over to apply a figure four leglock. 

Mai: I knew it’d only be a matter of time before Jo got control of this match, and Nevaeh has no one but herself to blame for running into Tommy.

Zack: One day, someone is gonna take that kendo stick and introduce it all over his body. But right now, Nevaeh’s got her own problems in this figure four.

Davis knelt by Nevaeh to see if she wanted to stop the match. She shook her head no at that question before Jo reached up to grab the middle rope. The blonde’s face was even more pained as Jo pulled down on the rope for additional leverage, causing Davis to glance towards her to see the redhead propped up on her elbows. She asked her why the rope was moving, and Tommy reached up to shake it himself. 

Mai: They really didn’t tighten those ropes for the show tonight, did they? Look how easily they shake, Zack.

Zack: Oh yeah, you think a gust of wind blew through the Tacoma Dome just now, Davis? 

As the referee went back to focus on Nevaeh, Jo reached up and grabbed the rope again. Tommy pulled on the rope too, just to add more pressure. Nevaeh pounded her fist onto the mat in pain as Davis glanced over again to see nothing still. Jo was still propped up on her elbows and Tommy was hanging onto the middle checking his watch. It was at this point that Nevaeh tried to turn it over. Jo’s eyes widened as she saw the blonde’s arm go up, and start trying to reverse it. She went to grab onto something to stop her, but it was too late. Summers flipped the hold, and Jo’s eyes widened in pain as the pressure was reversed until her father pulled her out of the ring, causing the hold to be broken.

Zack: Jo got a little taste of her own medicine right there, and Tommy just freed his daughter from the clutches of her own move. 

Mai: Don’t get excited. Jo would have found a way out of it, I promise you. There’s no move she can’t find a way out of, Zack. 

Tommy pulled Jo to her feet, shouting at her to get back into the ring. Jo wasn’t quick to do that though, and it didn’t help matters when Nevaeh found her way back to her feet. She used the top rope to slingshot into a diving crossbody that wiped both of the McFarlanes out. The blonde struggled back to her feet, much less staying up as she pulled Jo up and tossed her back under the bottom rope. She slid in behind her as Jo headed for the corner to get away from her. Summers measured as Jo got to her feet, and took off towards her with a handspring back elbow that rocked her head backwards. 

Zack: Nevaeh’s working on pure adrenaline right now, and trying to block out the pain she’s feeling in her knee. 

Mai: Trust me. If the past holds true to form, Nevaeh will just smoke away her problems and pain after the show. Hell, she may have already toking before the match.

The redhead staggered out of the corner as Nevaeh rubbed her knee, and took off for the near side. She came back with a burst of speed into her running leg drop bulldog that brought the crowd to its feet. She dropped on top of her for a hook of the leg to make the cover. 
.
Zack: Jo has anything but a GOLDEN STATE OF MIND right now!

ONE!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THREE-NOPE!!

The Scottish lass popped her shoulder off the mat in time before the three, and Nevaeh rolled off. She struggled back to her feet with hurt knee, but headed for the corner. She started to try to go up top until a kendo stick shot to the top of her head from Tommy sent her back to the mat in a heap. Davis looked back after checking on Jo with a curious look.

Mai: Did you hear what awful thing Nevaeh said about Tommy’s wife right there? She totally had that one coming!

Jo made it back to her feet, and pulled Nevaeh into a piledriver to keep her on the mat. She then picked her up by the foot into a stretch muffler, causing the blonde’s leg pain to intensify as she shouted in pain. Davis moved around to see if she wanted to stop the match, but she shook her head. The crowd began chanting her name as they tried to rally her, while Jo continued letting her hang by her knee. 

Zack: Nevaeh’s knee could be getting ripped to shreds courtesy of Jo’s stretch muffler! Listen to her shout in pain!

Mai: Duh! As it turns out, Zack, that shit hurts bad! What do you expect her to do? Make shadow puppets? 

Davis checked again to see if Nevaeh wanted to stop the match. She told her the same answer as before, and then managed to get her fingers across the middle rope. The referee called for the break, and Jo dropped her to the mat. She put a few stomps to Nevaeh’s knee for good measure, and went to drag her towards the center of the ring. But Summers brought her knees up and shot Jo off like a piston. The redhead wobbled off balance as Nevaeh struggled to get back to her feet. Jo went to grab her, but got surprised with a drop toe hold that sent her face first into the bottom turnbuckle. 

Zack: Now that was some brilliant countering right there. Jo just got a face full of the FFW logo on that bottom turnbuckle. 

Mai: It’s only a last ditch effort, Zack. Nevaeh’s in big trouble. All Jo needs is for Tommy...err. I mean for her to get her bearings. 

The blonde finally made it back to her feet with the crowd solidly behind her. She pulled Jo up with her, and scooped her up into a stun gun on the top turnbuckle. Jo staggered out of the corner, and Nevaeh delivered her jumping reverse bulldog. The crowd popped as she went for the cover, and hooked the outside leg in the process. Davis slid into position to count.

Mai: I hate the goddamned WALK OF SHAME!

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-WHOA!!

The count never finished as Tommy jerked Nevaeh out of the ring by her feet. Summers landed on her feet, and turned towards him. When he backed up, she grabbed him by the shirt to another pop from the crowd.

Zack: All of Tacoma and millions around the world are begging Nevaeh Summers to beat the holy hell out of Tommy McFarlane!

Nevaeh had finally had enough, and started unloading with right hands to Jo’s father. Shot after shot landed before she bounced his head off the apron. Davis rolled out to the floor to separate them as Jo rolled out around the corner. As the referee pulled Tommy away, Jo caught Nevaeh with a superkick she didn’t see coming. 

Mai: How dare Nevaeh attack an innocent older man like Tommy?! Does he really deserve to be treated like this? 

Zack: YES. If he wants to get involved, he can damn well take what follows!

Tommy shoved the referee out of the way, and joined his daughter in putting the boots to Nevaeh amid a chorus of boos from the crowd. Davis called for the bell as Tommy grabbed the chair out from under Kat, and slid it around Nevaeh’s knee. Jo headed up to the apron as McFarlane decked the referee as she tried to stop him.

Kat: Your winner by disqualification…….NEVAEH SUMMERS!!

Mai: that’s what you get, Nevaeh! Break her leg, and let her go home to smoke a bowl for a few weeks, Jo!

Zack: They’re gonna snap her knee in half, and McFarlane just clocked the referee for trying to do the right thing! We need somebody to--

"IKU ZOOOOO!"

The familiar call of one Andi Takata cues the start of her music, 'Setsunairo' by TokiwoIkiru , as her rising sun of a video plays on the screens.

# War War War, War War War
# War War War, War War War
# War War War, War War War
# War War War, War War War

As the real lyrics begin, The Lucky Star bolts down the ramp at top speed. She hits the ring as Jo turns to see her, and gets a superkick of her own from Andi. She rolls out to the floor, and waves Tommy to come at her next to a roar fromt he fans.

Mai: What business is this of Andi’s?! She should be suspended or fined!

Zack: Tacoma’s happy to see the Lucky Star, and she’s got some unfinished business of her own with the Rebel Child!

Tommy grabbed his daughter, and pulled her away as Andi helped Nevaeh back to her feet. Summers leaned on her and thanked her for the assist. 

Zack: The McFarlanes want nothing to do with a fair fight, and Nevaeh didn’t need to wish upon a star...she had a Lucky One all along! What a way to kick off Breaking Point!

Andi helped Davis back up, who raised Nevaeh’s hand. But it was clear that the blonde wasn’t too happy with how things went. From there, the show took its first commercial break. 



The Message

Zack: I’m sorry we’re getting news there’s something that happened backstage or something was... Found backstage? We’re going to the scene with Kendra Barton. Kendra?

We jump backstage in the Tacoma Dome where Kendra Barton is standing by and looking uncharacteristically shaken. She holds the microphone with both hands and gives a thousand yard stare at the camera. Kendra’s blue eyes slowly glance at something off screen before she swallows and looks back.

Kendra: Yes... Zack. Um, one of the dressing rooms was found broken into. Production staff and security alike are baffled because nothing was taken. It’s... How the dressing room was left is the... Its the...

The interviewer looks to be at a loss for words as she puts a hand over her mouth. The camera slowly keys in on the name on the ajar door of the dressing room.

Ruby Tyler.

Kendra slowly pushes the dressing room door open and the camera catches inside.

While the dressing room locker or door leading to the bathroom hasn’t been tampered with... There are photos everywhere. Grainy, blown up photos of an eleven year old with her face crossed out. Photos of her walking in tow with Kevin Hardaway and Ruby Tyler, photos of the eleven year old talking to Kevin or photos with Ruby laughing with the eleven year old. It doesn’t seem to matter whether it is The Huntress, her husband or both in the photo with the kid.

The kid’s face is crossed out in a red ‘X’ again and again and again.

Kendra looks absolutely shaken by the imagery smattered all over the walls of Ruby’s dressing room, and clutches a locket around her neck. She walks into the locker room, looking at the camera and speaking.

Drip.

Kendra: Zack, no one caught anyone going in or out of Ruby’s dressing room today. Ruby isn’t even scheduled to compete but—

Drip.

Drip.

Kendra until now seems to realize red droplets of paint have been falling on her forehead. She looks up and cups her mouth.

The camera follows her gaze.

A giant message, still slightly wet has been smeared on the ceiling in red paint.

‘HOW CAN I JUSTIFY THIS’

Barton’s eyes widen and she mouths ‘What the fuck’ before she motions to the camera man to cut. 

[Adam Grant]

Kat: The following match is scheduled for one fall to a finish!!

Mai: You know, I always love seeing the Franchise in the ring. Jo might have gotten robbed earlier, but I have faith in Mel Avilo.

Zack: She’s definitely going to have the power advantage in this match. Maybe she’ll find it memorable since she feels nothing else Mila has done is.

“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!

Kat: Introducing first…from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, by way of Craigleith, accompanied by Bianca Salvador and Kyle Kilmeade...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, Kyle joining in their conversation.

Zack: Mel sat ringside with me for the ladder match at Unstoppable, and I could see the look in her eyes every time she stared at that title. 

Mai: She should have been in it too, and wouldn’t have if Seth had a brain. Instead it was freakin’ Rose who fluked out to win it.

As Survivor by Destiny’s Child starts to play around the arena, Midnight walks out in her ring gear of black combat style shorts, matching black cut off tank top, black boots and a short black jacket. She stops at the top of the ramp, nodding her head a bit as the verse plays. As the chorus begins, white pyrotechnics erupt at the side of her. While the chorus plays, Midnight makes her way down the ramp, tagging the hands of the fans along the way. 

I'm a survivor (what?)
I'm not gon' give up (what?)
I'm not gon' stop (what?)
I'm gon' work harder (what?)
I'm a survivor (what?)
I'm gonna make it (what?)
I will survive (what?)
Keep on survivin'(what?)

Kat: Introducing at this time, hailing from London, England……”MIDNIGHT” MILA MARTIN!

I'm a survivor (what?)
I'm not gon' give up (what?)
I'm not gon' stop (what?)
I'm gon' work harder (what?)
I'm a survivor (what?)
I'm gonna make it (what?)
I will survive (what?)
Keep on survivin'(what?)

As the chorus ends and Midnight reaches the bottom of the ramp, she speeds up and runs the rest of the way to the ring, then jumps straight up onto the apron. Holding onto the top rope she looks out to the crowd and raises her hand fist pumping and hyping the crowd up. She climbs into the ring as the music ends and heads to her corner, taking off her jacket and getting ready for the match. 

Zack: Mila has pretty much recovered from what happened to her at the Impact special, and she’s ready to get back into action tonight. 

Mai: Awww poor wittle Mila. Did she get a booboo on her wittle head? Suck it up, Buttercup.

Kevin Fisk cleared Bianca out of the ring, telling both her and Kyle to stay in Mel’s corner before he called for the bell. It brought the two wrestlers out of their corners and towards the middle of the ring where the pair wasted little time in engaging in a lock up. For a couple of seconds neither woman was able to get the upper hand… until the Brazilian powerhouse began to shove her foe back towards the corner. Midnight dug her heels in to stop them in their tracks only for Mel to sneer at the Londoner and shove her backwards forcefully, sending Mila stumbling backwards into the corner. Avilo quickly stepped forward and met Martin with a forearm to her jaw, followed by a second, a third and a fourth before jerking her out of the corner into a short arm clothesline that sent her down to the canvas. 

Mai: This is what happens when you try outmuscling Mel, and another reason why Mila is gonna get her ass kicked. 

Zack: Mel’s not really showing her any respect, and sometimes you have to earn it the hard way. That’s what she’s trying to do.

Midnight quickly started to rise to her feet and as she did so, Mel caught her with a knee to the jaw, following it up with one to the chest before she pulled her the rest of the way to her feet. The Franchise member wasted no time at all in hurling the Englishwoman through the air with a belly to belly suplex. As Martin began to rise to her feet once more, Avilo took off across the ring, bouncing off the ring ropes and took her opponent back to the canvas with a running neckbreaker. The London native held her neck as she started to come to her feet once more only to find herself trapped in a headlock as she got to her knees. The Brazilian native wrenched the hold on tightly as she dropped down to one knee. Mila started to push upwards, getting her feet underneath her only for Mel to drive a fist into her face as she released the hold. 

Zack: Mila’s giving away more than just a power advantage. Mel’s also got a massive experience advantage. 

Mai: It’s true, and good on you for giving her credit for something. Your bias bothers me, Zack. 

Martin took a step backwards and when she did so, the Brazilian hooked her arm and sent her to the mat with a hip toss. As she landed, the former Army office sat up only to get a stiff kick into her spine from the Franchise member before the former Unity Tag Team Champion dropped down behind her and applied a rear chinlock to her. A look of frustration appeared on Mila’s face before she began to once more start to push her way to her feet which saw Mel to change the hold into a side headlock. Martin looked to fight her way out of the hold with an elbow shot to her opponent’s midriff, landing the blow before Mel started to take three quick steps forward and drove her face first into the ring mat with a bulldog. Avilo quickly rolled back to her feet as Mila made it to her knees and the Brazilian wrestler applied a front facelock, wrestling her opponent up to her feet before she lifted her off her feet and dropped her backwards with a vertical suplex. Avilo quickly floated over and made the cover.

Mai: That woman is an artist in the ring! 

One…

Tw-

Zack: Well the artist is gonna need to paint a few more strokes if she wants the win.

Midnight kicked out, shoving Mel away from her as she sat up once more only for Avilo to pull her up to her feet, driving four knees into her midriff before she grabbed hold of her wrist and made to send her in for the ride. Except, instead, Mel jerked her opponent towards her and scooped her off her feet as she delivered a back body drop. The Brazilian Storm member quickly shoved her opponent off her knee to the canvas and moved to lock in a Camel Clutch, placing her foes arms over her thighs and interlocking her fingers underneath her jaw, pulling back on her opponent’s head as she sat down low over her back.

Mai: Mel looks hot even when applying a camel clutch, Zack. That Jacob is a lucky guy. Have mercy!

Fisk got a ‘No’ from the Londoner when he asked her if she wanted to submit, causing Mel to pull back a little more on her opponent’s head to bend her spine further. Still Mila refused to quit as she instead shuffled her knees forward and began to push to her feet, freeing her arms to wrap them around Mel’s legs as she lifted her up as she did so. Midnight made it back to a vertical base with the Brazilian sat on her shoulders before she took two steps forward and fell backwards, dropping Avilo out of the Electric Chair position and slamming her back first into the ring mat. 

Zack: What a terrific counter from Mila, and she just knocked the wind out of Mel right there!

The two wrestlers rose to their feet simultaneously, Mila holding her back as she did so to find Mel advancing towards her...and Mila took her legs out from underneath her with a low dropkick. Mel quickly tried to come back to her feet and as she did so, the Englishwoman started to lay into her with stiff kicks to her body before she jerked her forward into a clinch and started to fire knees into her midsection. As the Brazilian bent double, Mila snapped off a DDT that dropped her foe into the canvas. The Franchise member rolled away and tried to come to her feet only for Martin to pull her back to her feet and began to unload with a series of chops to her opponent’s chest, sending her staggering backwards and into the corner. As Avilo hit the turnbuckles, Martin dropped her shoulder and began to drive shoulder thrusts into her midsection. Fisk called for separation and began to use the count as Mila continued with the stiff shoulder thrusts until he get to four at which point Martin backed up to the middle of the ring only to dart forward and deliver a splash before she pulled her forward, lifting the Brazilian upwards and into a Samoan drop. Midnight hooked the leg for the pinfall.

Zack: Mel might be a powerhouse, but clearly Mila is no slouch in that department either.

One…

T-

Mai: Means nothing, Mel still kicked out. 

Mel kicked out and Mila pulled her upwards and started to fire off punches in combinations, firing them into her gut before she landed a right cross as the Brazilian tried to cover up. The shot saw Avilo reel away, and trying to stay on her feet only for Midnight to follow her and continue to land blows to the former Unity Tag Team Champion, backing her all the way up into the corner where Midnight hopped up onto the middle rope and started to fire off shots into her opponent’s head. The crowd counted along as each shot landed, getting to ten before Mila stepped down from the middle rope, waving Mel forward and as the Franchise member stepped towards her, the Londoner snapped off an over head belly to belly suplex. As Mel began to rise, Mila took off towards the ring ropes, looking to bounce off them...and faceplanted onto the canvas as Bianca caught her ankle from the outside, nonchalantly spinning away and getting into an argument with a fan - the No Surrender Champion looking as innocent as could be, even as Mila shot a look back towards her.

Mai: That’s terrible! Did you see what she did? Bianca was stretching her arm out, and Mila tried to step on her hand!

Zack: I believe that as much as I believe that your chest is all natural.

Midnight shook her head and began to rise to her feet, getting as far as one knee before Mel caught her with a double axe handle blow to the head, followed by a second. Avilo quickly double underhooked her arms, pulling her back up to her feet as she did so and fired off knees into her chest. Five knee strikes landed before Mel changed her grip and delivered a single knee facebreaker to Midnight which sent her stumbling back into the ropes. As the Londoner bounced off, Mel caught her with a headbutt to the face before she lifted her upwards and into an inverted atomic drop. Quickly the Brazilian powerhouse jerked Mila forward into an Irish whip, sending her opponent across the ring and catching her on the return with a big boot to the face which sent Midnight down to the mat.

Mai: Forget Harley, I think Mel should be next in line for a shot at the Fast Track Championship, Zack.

Zack: If you want to leave the booth and go argue the case to Samantha, you’re more than welcome. Take all night if you need it. 

Martin rolled to the side and came to her hands and knees where Avilo wrapped her arms around her foe’s waist and quickly brought the Londoner up and snapped off a German suplex to slam her down to the canvas. Again Mila rolled to the side and started to push upwards, Mel cutting her off once more as she brought her to her feet and body slammed her down to the canvas, following it up with a leg drop across her chest. Quickly Mel made the cover once more.

Zack: Mel with those thick tree trunk-like legs just crushed Mila’s chest.

One…

Two…

...T-

Mai: Tree trunks don’t look that good.

Mila kicked out of the hold just after the two count and Mel looked to the referee as he confirmed the two count before she wrapped a hand around her throat to choke her out. Fisk immediately called for the break and used the count of five, getting to four before he saw the release. It only lasted for a moment before Avilo wrapped a hand around her throat once more, this time using her grip to lift her up from the canvas and drive her back down, bouncing the back of her head of the mat as she did so - repeating this three times as the referee counted her down once again before she released her grip once more, holding her hands aloft for a second. Fisk started to reprimand her for the choke only for the powerhouse wrestler to go straight back to it, wrapping her hand around Mila’s throat and pulled her upwards, lifting her off her feet by the neck as she drove back the Londoner back down with a chokeslam. Mel followed it up with a fist drop to her opponent’s face which connected and saw Mila try to roll away only to be dragged back and have her shoulders pushed down to the canvas as Mel made another cover.

Zack: You can tell Mel’s trying to get this over with sooner than later. Cover after cover and here’s another!

One…

Two…

...THR-

Mai: Well duh, the point of a match is to win, Zack. Maybe you didn’t know that.

Midnight rolled her shoulder to break the count and Mel mounted her, grabbing two handfuls of hair and started to bounce the back of the Englander’s head off the mat, prompting Fisk to call for the break and start to use the count once more. Again the referee got to four before Mel released her hold and found herself getting reprimanded once more by the assigned official. The Franchise member completely ignored the official as she once more used a handful of hair to pull Midnight up to her feet and scooped her onto her shoulder looking for the powerslam.

Zack: I think Mel’s looking to do some damage here, looks like a powerslam! But--uh oh!!

Mai: Mel, grab her tighter! She’s gonna---!!!

But Midnight was able to slip out of the back before the Brazilian wrestler could deliver the move. The Londoner landed on her feet as Mel spun around, throwing a discus forearm at where Martin’s jaw should’ve been had she not ducked down and countered the attempted blow by lifting her off her feet and spiking her down into the mat with a huge Alabama slam. The Brazilian Storm member sat up on impact for a couple of moments before she fell back down to the mat and rolled over to the side as Martin leaned against the ropes, holding the back of her head for a couple of moments. As Mel began to rise to her feet, Martin took off across the ring, bouncing off the ropes and caught her opponent as she got her feet underneath her with a Thesz press, sending her down to the canvas and allowed Martin begin to unload upon her foe with right and left hands.

Zack: Look at those shots! Mila is putting some knuckle knocks of Mel with lefts AND rights!

Mai: That’s because she can’t beat Mel in a wrestling match! She has to brawl.

As Mel covered up, Martin came back to her feet and measured up her opponent as the Brazilian rolled over and came to all fours which saw Martin leap into the air and deliver a double foot stomp to her opponent’s shoulders, driving her chest first into the mat. Mel cried out in pain before she immediately pushed back up onto all fours and as she did so, Martin brought her up to her feet and walked her back to the ropes, where she drove a knee into her gut before she sent her in for the ride and caught her on the return with a spinebuster. Avilo arched her back up from the canvas in pain as Mila popped back up to her feet and delivered an elbow drop into her foe’s chest before she made the cover. 

Zack: Mila’s unloading with the offense, and a big elbow right into where Mel’s heart might be!

One…

Two…

...T-

Mai: A lot of good it did her! She still hasn’t won the match.

Mel kicked out, Mila confirmed the two count with the referee as she brought her opponent up to her feet and applied an armwringer, holding the Brazilian’s arm away from her body as she began to fire off a series of kicks into her midriff. As Avilo dropped down to one knee, Midnight drove a side kick into the side of her head that caused the Brazilian to collapse to the mat. Mel lay there for a couple of moments before she rolled to the side and slowly began to push back towards her feet. The powerhouse got back to one knee before Midnight wrapped an arm around her head, hooked her leg and delivered a Fisherman’s suplex, keeping the leg hooked as she bridged for the pin.

Zack: They don’t get much more Perfect-ly executed than that!

One…

Two….

...TH-

Mai: Well if it was that good, Mel wouldn’t have kicked out, now would she?

Mel kicked out and Midnight held her spine for a moment as she got back to her feet and shook her head before she dropped back to the ropes and bounced off them to catch Mel with a running knee lift to her jaw. It brought the Franchise member to her feet; Avilo looking unsteady as she did so and Martin was quick to take advantage, grabbing hold of her opponent to hurl her through the air with an exploder suplex. Mel landed hard and sat up, holding her back with a look of pain on her face. The Brazilian Storm member started back to her feet and was once more quickly caught by Martin who snared her head before she moved into position to lift her up, placing her feet onto the middle rope as she set her up for the hangman’s DDT and drove her face first into the canvas. The Englishwoman rolled Mel onto her back and made the cover as she did so.

Mai: Uh, this isn’t looking good! Someone may want interf----motivate Mel!

One…

Two…

...THR--

Zack: I think he heard you, because Mila had this one in the bank already!

Kyle darted down the side of the ring as the move landed and lifted Mel’s foot up onto the rope, bringing the referee’s attention to it before he could complete the three count; Fisk immediately waving it off and pointing to the boot as Mila stared at the foot and then to Kyle on the outside. Martin nodded in acceptance of the referee’s decision before she began to pull her opponent upwards, getting her back to her feet before she lifted the Brazilian high over her head into position for a Gorilla Press Slam and held her there for a couple of moments, getting cheered by the crowd before she completed the slam. Avilo hit the canvas and almost as if acting on instinct alone scurried back to her feet, hands pressed against her spine which allowed Martin to mow her down with a crooked arm lariat. Before Mel could get up from the mat, Mila left her feet and crashed down upon her chest with a splash. The Londoner hooked her leg as Fisk slid into position and began the count.

Mai: What good is a splash gonna do when you have the body of a 12 year old boy?!

One…

Two…

...THRE--

Zack: Your body shaming aside, it almost won the match. So clearly Mila was onto something...and still is!

Before Fisk could complete the count, Mel rolled the shoulder to break up the pin and slowly sat up as Martin confirmed the two count with the referee and was told the shoulder came up in the nick of time. The Londoner nodded her head in acceptance of the count and quickly moved in behind her opponent, reaching around her body and grabbed hold of her arms, pulling them back around her throat as she applied a straitjacket choke, pushing her knee into Mel’s spine right in the middle of the ring. Mel tried to fight the hold; tried using her power to jerk her arms free and break her opponent’s grip but found quickly that it was like Mila had her wrists held in a vice and there was no chance that she would let go. Mel kicked her feet against the mat and tried to roll to either side, kicking out with her feet in an effort to find out the ropes - only for them all to be too far away, refusing every time the referee asked her the question. Finally Mel tried to lean back into the hold and push upwards to bring both of them to their feet only for Midnight to cut her off by driving her knee into her spine. Mel still refused to submit in the hold despite all of her failed escape attempts but her movements started to slow. 

Zack: Mel’s starting to fade, and Mila’s shown no signs at all of wanting to let her go! Boy, are you gonna eat some crow?!

Mai: It’s not over yet! Why hasn’t the referee broken this hold? She’s close enough to the ropes for me!

Fisk checked on the Brazilian Storm member once more, getting the slight shake of the head from her as she stayed locked in the hold in the middle of the ring as Kyle climbed up onto the apron. Fisk immediately went to cut him off and order him back down to the floor and as Kilmeade successfully distracted the official, Bianca slid in behind Martin and clocked her with a sliding forearm shot to the back of her head that caused her to release her grip enough in the hold for Salvador to pull Martin the rest of the way to her feet and deliver a backstabber that sent her down to the canvas before Salvador slid out of the ring. Kyle dropped down off the apron as Mel took a couple of moments to recuperate, taking deep breaths of air before she pulled herself towards the Englishwoman and threw herself on top of her for the cover.

Mai: What a brilliant counter! Mila needs to focus on the people in the ring! Not outside of it!

One…

Two…

...THRE----

Zack: You’re as full of it as they are! Mila is still in this, despite the efforts of the No Surrender Champion and their manager.

Midnight rolled the shoulder and Mel rolled away, pulling herself up into a sitting position as she continued to take deep breaths before she finally started to bring herself back to her feet. Both the Franchise member and Midnight made it back to their feet at the same time and stared at each other for a moment before they moved forward and started to exchange right hands - the crowd cheering as Mila landed and booing as Mel connected. They exchanged five shots a piece that saw each fighter take a momentary step backwards before Mel cut the exchange short as she jabbed a thumb into Mila’s eyes causing her to stumble backwards as she tried to clear her vision. Quickly Mel came towards her and left her feet to deliver a code breaker to her that saw Mila pop up off Avilo’s knees and fell backwards only to catch herself on the ropes. Stumbling off them, Martin was quickly jerked upwards onto Mel’s shoulder and into a Canadian Backbreaker. Mel grimaced slightly as she circled the ring, carrying her opponent on her shoulder before she dropped to her knees, Martin bouncing off the Brazilian’s shoulders and collapsing on the canvas. Mel quickly moved to cover her, hooking the leg as she did so.

Zack: That may be all right there! That was devastating impact!

One…

Two…

...THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mai: CAN’T THIS REFEREE COUNT TO DAMN THREE?!

At the last possible second Midnight rolled her shoulder to prevent the three count, Fisk pointing to the shoulder as he explained the two count to Mel as the Brazilian wrestler demanded the three from him. Mel shook her head at him as she came back to her feet and pulled Martin upwards, getting to her feet before she flipped her upwards onto her shoulders in position for a powerbomb...only for Mila to slip out of the back. As Mel turned to face her, Martin lashed out with a boot to her midsection that doubled the Brazilian over and allowed the Englishwoman to connect with an axe kick across the back of her neck. Mel hit the canvas but started to push upwards only for Martin to help her upright and scoop her off her feet and drive her down once more with the London Calling Michinoku Driver. Midnight fell on top of her for the cover. The count didn’t come immediately as Bianca was trying to distract the referee...only for him to eventually turn around and slide into position.

Zack: LONDON CALLING!! COUNT, COUNT, COUNT!!

One…

Two…

...THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mai: Hey, if Bianca has a question, the referee is obliged to answer it. I have a few questions myself.

At the last second Mel managed to roll her shoulder to break up the pin and roll onto her front as Midnight looked to the referee and nodded her head with a look of frustration on her face as he showed her the two. Midnight pushed herself up to her feet and looked around at the crowd for a moment before she looked down to Mel who was still face down on the canvas, breathing deeply. Mila took off towards the ring ropes….and into a baseball slide that caught Bianca and sent her falling into the crowd barrier. As Salvador tried to recover, Mila caught her with a boot to her middle and quickly scooped the No Surrender Champion off her feet and dropped her down to the floor with the Darkest Night package piledriver.

Zack: Mila’s had enough of Bianca at ringside, and who can blame her?!

Mai: I can! This is stupid, because she’s not facing Bianca! Plus what has she done to deserve this?

Martin returned to her feet and slid into the ring where she popped up to her feet and was caught with a perfect savate kick to the jaw. Mila fell back into the ring ropes and stumbled forward into Avilo’s grasp; the Brazilian lifting her into the air before dropping her down on top of her head with a brainbuster. Avilo rolled away and headed towards the corner where she climbed up to the top rope. She took her time and as she got to the top, she looked back to find her foe already back to her feet and running towards the corner, catching her and taking her ankle out from underneath the Brazilian causing her to land hard on the top turnbuckle. Mila began to climb upwards, driving elbows into her spine as she climbed upwards to join her on the top rope. Mila started to pull Mel upwards, getting her to her feet on the top rope and set her up for a back suplex. Avilo fought to block the suplex, only for Martin to fire forearms across her shoulders before she set her up for the back suplex, the pair of them falling backwards to the canvas. 

Zack: Big time impact right there! I think Mila’s closing in on the win, despite ALL the obstacles tonight!

Fisk checked on both wrestlers as neither one moved in the moments after impact before finally they started to recover and push up to their feet. Martin was the first back to a vertical base, moving towards Mel and catching with a European uppercut to her jaw before she pulled her forward and into the Midnight Hour unprettier. Quickly Midnight rolled her onto her back and hooked her legs in the cover.

Mai: It’s too early to be the MIDNIGHT HOUR!!

One…

Two…

...THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zack: How about that?! Well done, Mila! That may be the biggest win so far in her FFW career!

The referee completed the three count and called for the bell as Mila rolled away, holding her back and started to sit up as the bell rang.

Kat: Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner, by way of pinfall… “MIDNIGHT” MILA MARTIN!!!!

Mai: How can you approve of someone who attacks innocent people at ringside like the No Surrender Champion?

Zack: She had it coming, and congratulations to Mila on a fantastic victory tonight in Tacoma at Breaking Point.

Mel rolled to the outside where she was met by Kyle and by Bianca who was holding her neck while the referee helped Mila to her feet and raised her hand in the air in victory. The crowd cheered loudly for the victor; while the Brazilian Storm stared holes though her from the outside. As Martin celebrated her victory to the loud cheers from the crowd the show cut elsewhere.



Sing Me A Melody

When Breaking Point returns from the commercial, it cuts to a short clip showing the aftermath of the Evolution Championship match from Unstoppable 10. We see what looks like Melody giving Bianca advice, at least until after she loses and then drops her with her yoshi tonic finisher. The diminutive blonde is escorted out of the arena as a fuming Bianca stares daggers at her from the ring. The clip concludes, and the show cuts back to the live broadcast and sees both Jake and Melody looking at the video everyone else just watched on the monitor. 

He takes a deep breath, and scratches the back of his head as he looks down to Melody before crossing his arms over his chest. 

Jake: I don’t know what that was all about, but you you were my guest. And I got you the ticket, and well… I was the one who was pulled aside later in the night to find out if I knew any of that was going to happen. 

Melody pouts a bit, her blue eyes locking on the almost disappointed expression of Jake. Her fingers fiddle with the ends of her pink-dipped blonde hair, and the tone in her voice is one that is of unmistakable remorse.

Melody Lennox: Look… I know that I may have gotten you into a little bit of trouble for me. Just a smidge. But… things between Bianca and myself? They go back. Pretty far. I was only trying to help her out there, and she didn’t listen to me. She NEVER listens to me.

An audible grunt of annoyance follows, complete with Melody biting her lower lip and rolling her eyes.

Melody Lennox: I was genuinely very excited to see her that night, and then… things just got a little out of hand. That’s all. I really appreciate all of the strings you’ve pulled to get me here tonight, and all of the wonderful amenities that you’ve provided to me. My hotel room alone? Amazing. And you know I’m looking so forward to being part of this week in, and week out.

Being the softy that he is, Jake slowly nods his head before taking a deep breath. It’s clear he’s not tough to give forgiveness. 

Jake: Well I think that may have been my saving grace, that you’re going to be part of the company. But I’ll take you at your word. I’m sorry things have been so rocky with you and her. If there’s any way I can help smooth it over, just say the word. 

Melody frowned, glancing down to the floor. Really hamming up the act.

Melody Lennox: I’m not so sure that’s an option. It’s never been. She’s always been SO mean to me…

Again, she turned her doe eyes up to him, tucking some of her blonde curls behind her ear.

Melody Lennox: But, it means the world to me that you’d try. Still friends, right?

Jake: Sure! I helped you get your contract, didn’t I? Even after all this. So I’m not mad or anything. As a matter of fact, I’m gonna go get it and meet you out there to make it all official, if that’s alright with you? 

Smiling, the petite girl nodded. Her hands unclasping from one another and then joining again as she wrapped her arms around his neck for a quick hug. She lowered herself back onto the floor, from the tips of her toes, and let out an exhilarated sigh from deep in her lungs.

Melody Lennox: I’d like that. Thank you so much.

She smiled, her tone of voice absolutely laden in sugar. Jake nods, and gives her a pat on the hip before he heads off, leaving the camera alone with her briefly before the show cuts to a video.




Road Trip

The next shot we see takes us...inside a car as Alex Price is shown driving. The GoPro camera whirls around to also see Rose, since she’s holding it along with having the Fast Track Championship on her lap. In the backseat is a cardboard cutout of Alex propped up.

Alex: I told you guys what was gonna happen! WHEN Rose became Fast Track Champion, we were gonna take this title on a road trip. And we’re just now leaving Boston on the first leg of the Rosalina Road Trip, starring your NEW FFW Fast Track Champion….’POISON’ ROSE GARDNER!!

Rose: Aaaaand the Fast Track Prince-Consort, ALEX PRICE!... Wait, does that even exist-- Whatever, it does now!

Rose points the camera to the road.

Rose: I’ve been living in Boston for the past year and change and I still don’t know the first thing about New England! So we’re just gonna enjoy the heck out of this!

Alex: The Fast Track chauffeur knows where we’re going, that’s all that matters! I got the champ and two dimensional me in the back, so where do we stop next?! CUT!

The shot changes immediately, and there we see Rose and cardboard Alex at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. He zooms in on the crack in the bell for a couple seconds.

Alex: What’s up, Philly?! Have you ever seen the Liberty Bell, people? You should. This is where America’s crack problem started.

Rose: That’s one way to put it. I know I haven’t been here before, not even when FFW was around here! Does it still ring?! We should try!

Alex: We’ll need a big hammer! But I know where we should go next. CUT!

The next shot finds Rose, the Fast Track Championship and cardboard Alex at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. with Lincoln’s sculpture sitting behind them.

Alex: The nation’s capital! There you see big Abe behind Rose, and I’m sure he’d have been a huge fan of her if he had been around when she was.

Rose: ‘Cause we’re living the American dream, baby, the way Honest Abe expected us to. I mean… Yeah, my family is for the most part Canadian, but you get the drift!

Alex: OH SNAP, I know where we’re going next now! CUT!

The next shot is back in the car, but the camera is pointed towards the windshield to see they are stopped at the Canadian border. It whirls back around to them and cardboard Alex.

Alex: This is one of the stops you make as you drive into Canada! But you have to go through border check first. I’m not sure how they are gonna feel about cardboard me back there though. Note to my fellow ‘Muricans, if you want to come here, make sure you don’t have a record. Canada doesn’t want you if you’ve been in jail..

Rose: I know I haven’t! But we’re not going in this time, because there’s a lot to do here Stateside, and I know there’s a lot of other places I wanna go before heading down to BP150 to show this title off to the crowd! After all, I guess I have a mission to fulfill now before we go north o’ the border!

Alex: We got tons more stops to make, but one more for this show! CUT!

The last stop shows Rose at Mount Rushmore. Alex has positioned the camera so it looks like Rose’s head is alongside the four Presidents carved into the mountain.

Alex: South Dakota! What the hell is happening?! Oh wait, nothing. It’s South Dakota! Doesn’t Rose look tremendous next to four of the founding fathers?! I promise her head isn’t as big as theirs though. Not pictured is cardboard Alex because I accidentally sat on him at the gas station, but he’ll be back.

Rose: … you sat on your own cardboard cutout? Well that’s-- Aaaaaaanyway, this is one of the places in America I never really understood. Why carve faces on the rock face of a mountain? How many people did it take to do this? If anything, this is a testament of how great things can be especially when paying tribute to important figures of history, but I’ll gladly mention how uneducated I am because I have no idea what even!

Alex: Well that’s alright. On the next episode of the Rosalina Road Trip, we’re going somewhere I know she wants to see! And luckily, Breaking Point won’t be far away from it. What do you say you and I go see…….

Pause for dramatic effect.

Alex: NINTENDO HEADQUARTERS!!

Rose: I. AM. HERE FOR THIS!!!

The camera shakes as Rose is holding it, signaling how excited she is for it.

Rose: But before that…

She then points the camera to herself, grinning.

Rose: I guess I have an arena full of friends to visit. CUT!

And as she winks, the camera goes off.

…

And we’re finally taken to the ringside of the Tacoma Dome in Washington, as “I’m the Boss” by the Big Bad Bosses blares through the speakers! Skipping and bopping to the beat, Rose Gardner comes out from the back, accompanied by her fiancé Alex Price, opening her arms in an airplane stance as she reaches the top of the ramp, stopping and staring into the crowd. She pats the main plate of the championship belt she proudly wears around her waist before she makes her way down the ramp, highfiving as many fans as possible in the way.

Kat: Ladies and gentlemen, let’s welcome… Alexander Price, and the NEWWWWW FFW Fast Track Champion… ROSE! GARDNER!!!

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!

She then hops back to the center of the ring and receives a microphone from Kat. As her music dies, though, she takes some time to take in the environment before…

Rose: Turns out there’s no place more important to me than with all of you!

Big cheers, as the Cosplay Princess seems to be a bit emotional.

Rose: So… I’ll… I’ll be real with all of you. Before Unstoppable… There were moments I felt like giving up. I know, bananas, right? I had a… kick-ass, meteoric ascension in Future Shock, and I graduated even before getting a chance at the belt. But then I came face to face with the reality that… People in the main roster are ready to devour younger competitors like me whole without even thinking twice. I dropped the ball one too many times to the Gold Standard. I found myself in a cycle of calling people out for taking themselves too seriously, and then immediately proving myself to think so very little of myself.

She takes the time to sigh.

Rose: That’s why I knew that Ladder Match was my chance to turn things around. And it goes beyond defeating five other women, five very talented women, in a match that’s all about resistance and spirit. It’s… It’s honoring my family’s… I wanna say, penchant for adrenaline. My mother is a former World Champion. My aunt, you may not like her very much, and I know we haven’t had the best relationship as of late, but she’s a daredevil, and a former Ultraviolence champion. They both were lovers of heights and gimmicks. Unstoppable X was my opportunity to prove them… Prove YOU… Prove MYSELF… I really am a Gardner.

She then pats the main plate of her belt.

Rose: And just like that, I became the first Gardner to win a match at Unstoppable!

More cheers from the crowd!

Mai: This runt should respect her elders more!!! This shot at Alysson Gardner is uncalled for!

Zack: But it’s also true. Alysson Gardner is 0 for 4 at Unstoppable, and her niece just defeated five women in a fell swoop in her Unstoppable debut. Let her have it.

Rose paces around the ring for a little while, collecting her words.

Rose: More than just being thankful, I think holding this belt means that I can safely say this to you: we should NEVER doubt ourselves. We should NEVER think of giving up. There’s ALWAYS a new source of energy we can tap into to get what we want. There have been numerous times in my life that I thought I was done for, but then Linda Ragnal and Christian Gardner happened. Then Andi Takata happened. Then Alex Price happened.

She stops to give her fiancé a kiss, before getting right back on track.

Rose: And then the Fast Track Championship happened. And it only happened because I never gave up. The Princess Club is fine and KICKING ASS, because the baby of the clan just got her hardware, and you ain’t getting rid of me yet, bay-bayyyyyyy!!!

More cheers as Rose paces around the ring.

Rose: And the next days are gonna be really fun, ya see, because from here, I’ll make my way all the way down to Texas to play a part in the Future Shock Pool Party, and make my debut as a referee!... In a volleyball match! Nora Harris and Katie Hanley versus the girl who stole some other dumbass’s money and Ostrich Girl #2!

Mai: … Cait Flanagan and Luna Cortez, she wanted to say.

Rose: And I promise I’ll referee it right down the middle, granted nobody tries to go anything stupid, nudge-nudge wink-wink! Y’all asses are warned!... And then...

Rose stares at the entrance ramp, addressing someone special:

Rose: Harley Shannon.

Cheers and “ooh’s” from the audience.

Zack: Harley Shannon defeated Areum Jijang at Unstoppable and is the next in line for the Fast Track Championship! Looks like the Fast Track Princess is about to lay down her first decree, addressing her first challenger!

Mai: Would you please STOP playing along?!

Rose: At Sin and Sacrifice, it’s gonna be you and I. No ladders, no other folks in the ring, just a self-taught prodigy against an unyielding power of will. We will meet in th Fast Track. And I can’t wait to test mettle with you. Because the idea of THAT…

She raises her hands in the hashtag motion and is followed by the crowd as she states:

Rose: … IS REALLY GOOD!

And as she throws the microphone up, “I’m The Boss” hits the PA system again, as Rose jumps on the ropes to pose for the crowd.


Still The One

The closing moments of the main event of Unstoppable 10 is shown, minus some footage that wouldn’t be as flattering. The clip focuses on Shaw retaining her championship after two of her finishers, and having her hand raised by the owner of the company. When the show goes back live, we find her and Kyle backstage and getting booed from the live crowd in the arena. 

Kyle: I must have watched that match back 5 times since I saw it live, and it still gets me each time I see it. On the biggest stage in all of women’s wrestling in front of a worldwide audience, this woman right here made history. She walked into Los Angeles as the FFW Champion. And she walked out of Los Angeles still YOUR FFW Champion.

Shaw: Was there really ever any doubt? Honestly. Truthfully. Did anyone really, truly, deep down believe there was even the remotest chance of any other result? I’ll give Savannah credit. She’s obviously a talented wrestler, there is some skills that she’s been working on and honing and training for all her life. BUT she ran into me. She ran into a woman who is quite frankly above her, a woman who is the most consistent wrestler in this company, who has pulled herself all the way up from being a dark horse in Future Shock to become the FFW Champion. Quite simply put, I’m the best wrestler this company has ever seen. A Quebecois - and therefore a natural born winner - who is redefining success and raising the bar for anyone who hopes to follow her. 

Kyle: Nothing she said is remotely untrue either. For anyone else, winning in the main event of Unstoppable 10 would be a massive plaudit for their resume. But when you’re the FFW Champion and you’re Shaughnessy O’Neill, it just comes naturally. We’d also like to thank the owner of FFW for being, in my view, one of the fairest and possibly the best referee I’ve ever seen in a match. She counted all of Savannah’s near fals, and called the match with aplomb. And I’ll even forgive Savannah for attacking me even though I did nothing to her.

Shaw: I couldn’t agree more. Samantha was easily as good as each and everyone of the professionals that she employs and who do the job every week. I think anyone who criticises her performance in that match is either bitter or has a severe case of sour grapes. What happened to Savannah was merely karma for her laying her hands on you; for attacking a person who hadn’t laid a finger on her. I hope, Savannah, that Seth somehow manages to find himself a job quickly. Maybe YOU, Savannah, have a relative that can get him work somewhere… tending bar or dealing cards or something?

Kyle seems to ponder the idea for a minute.

Kyle: I can use a driver. I mean the pay is a little less than whatever he was getting as the COO, but a honest day’s work is a honest day’s work, right? Call me, Seth. You can be parking my car in no time flat. 

Shaw: Maybe he could carry your bags too and I’m sure you’ll tip generously when appropriate. And just think, he’ll still be able to wear a suit and it’s not exactly manual work. All he needs is a driving licence to be perfectly qualified for it. I guess that’s something else I can add to my resume, right alongside Greatest FFW Champion ever and FFW Hall of Famer - Recruitment Specialist. Barely spent any time unemployed and I’ve already found a role for him that matches his skills. I won’t even charge him a fee - I think I might just be the most generous FFW Champion of all time too. Seth, Savannah… you’re welcome.

The FFW Champion grinned widely at the camera as she held the title belt on her shoulder, adjusting its position slightly. Kyle’s hand gave it a little pat before the show cut elsewhere. 

[Adam Grant]

Breaking Points returns from the commercial break back to ringside, and finds Kat Grayson once again standing front and center with her microphone. 

Kat: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall to a finish. 

Mai: What you’re about to see here is what happens when you can’t keep your damn mouth shut. Ask and ye shall receive. 

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

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

THE PRIVILEGED CIRCLE!!!!!!!!!

At the ringside area, Valentina and Isis walk around the ring once, gracing the crowd with sneering glares before entering the ring, Valentina then glares towards the referee in the ring and orders the referee to hold the ropes for her, which the referee reluctantly complies by doing what she says. She then wipes her feet on the apron and enters the ring. Meanwhile, Isis enters the ring by stepping over the top rope with ease. The ladies then go to opposite ring posts in which they climb up and pose to the crowd with complete confidence, taking in the atmosphere while the crowd reaction continues and the cameras flashing.

After the ladies taunt the crowd (and/or opponents), Valentina then goes to one of the corners to lean against.  After giving Valentina a few words and patting her on the shoulder, Isis smirks and stretches a little as they await their opponents to come out.

Mai: Valentina and Isis have to be licking their lips right now. Two women who couldn’t be a team if their life depended on it are about to face a team who has been very successful. 

Zack: It’s true that Bianca and Kelly haven’t ever teamed before, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are going to fail either. We may see something pretty amazing here.

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

Kat: 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: You know, if she could control her mouth, she might not be in this match right now. But she’s got a form of Tourette’s, and this is where it gets her. The “workhorse” is gonna learn or suffer.

Zack: Since when did you become such a huge Bianca critic? She’s already said her piece about all this, and I think it’s only fair if we move on like adults. 

The arena falls dark as the opening of “Blonde, Bad and Beautiful” by Airbourne plays, Kelly explodes upward out of the middle of the stage as though shot out of a cannon, landing a perfect front somersault in a shower of blue sparks. As she lands she holds her title belt high over her head. The girl is joined by Christian Kincaid on the stage. Turning to face her husband, she turns to face him, giving him a big hug as she plants a kiss to his lips. As the music starts to pick up pace once more she starts to run toward the ring, performing a quick cartwheel into a handspring before sliding into the ring underneath the bottom rope. Using the momentum to her advantage, the former acrobat forward rolls to her feet and leaps onto the middle rope. She springboards off the ropes into a backflip and heads towards the corner. The former acrobat runs straight up the pads. Stopping on the top turnbuckle she blows a kiss to the fans, holds her title belt high in the air and then corkscrew flips back to the mat, facing the middle of the ring as she lands.

Kat: From Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York, 5’5” tall, weighs 115 lbs and is accompanied to the ring by Christian Kincaid. She is the reigning FFW Evolution Champion...Please welcome...KELLY KINCAID!!!

Zack: Kelly’s gotta be feeling good after a successful defense of her championship on FFW’s biggest stage. She may not be that enthusiastic about tonight though. 

Mai: Normally I’d blame her too. But this is all Bianca’s fault. So she should know the beating she’s about to endure is because Reed can’t stop shooting her mouth off to the wrong people. 

Referee Ashley Pruitt checks all four women, and calls for the bell. As Kelly and Bianca debate who starts the match, Valentina surprises them both as she catches them with a double clothesline into the corner. She shoves Bianca through the ropes to the floor, and starts landing right hands to Kelly’s head and body. A snapmare sends her out of the corner before the Latina fires a pair of kicks into her spine before she can get up again. Bianca hops back onto the apron, and is about to come in after Lozano until the referee has to restrain her. Valentina grins as she watches for a second, and starts hammering blows across Kelly’s back when she tries to get up again. A hard Irish whip sends her back first into the corner, and Valentina follows in after her with a running forearm to the mouth that flops against the turnbuckles. 

Mai: See what I mean? Kelly wouldn’t be taking this ass whupping right now if Bianca was smarter than she is. 

Zack: Or maybe it’s because Valentina jumped them before one of them could get out of the ring. This thing isn’t over, you know.

The brunette spun Kelly around to face the corner before driving shoulder thrusts into her lower back. Each shot made the champion grimace before she scooped her up for a back suplex. But Kelly slipped free, and landed on her feet behind the Canadian. She spun her around, and started firing back with shots of her own one after another, and igniting the crowd in the process. She fired her across to the far side ropes, and caught her coming back with a handspring into a back elbow to the mouth. Valentina lumbered back a couple steps before Kelly darted towards her leaving her feet to connect with a tornado DDT.

Zack: It didn’t take long for Kelly to start firing back after that blindside attack from Valentina, did it? And she just dropped her on her conceited head too.

Mai: As you said, it’s not over. And don’t you know Valentina or Isis would love to be able to say they pinned the Evolution Champion?!

Lozano had barely made it back to her feet before Kelly snatched her into a side Russian leg sweep. She rolled on top of her into the mount position, and resumed landing right hand shots to her jaw one after another. Lozano managed to shove her off, and Kelly quickly got to her feet and took off for the far side. Lozano was barely vertical again before she caught a leg lariat into a cover from the champion.
.
Zack: Kelly’s offense is working now, and Lozano’s the one in trouble! That leg lariat knocked the wind out of her.

ONE!!

TWOOOO!!

Valentina kicked out at two, and shoved her off the cover. Kelly quickly got to her feet and dragged Valentina to her team’s corner. She reached out for the tag, and Bianca slapped her hand and stepped through with an angry look on her face. 

Mai: Now if I’m Kelly, I’d leave and let Bianca handle this on her own. She has it coming,. And I’d enjoy watching what the Circle does to her. 

Bianca already began trash talking as Valentina got to her feet. Reed began pasting her with rights and lefts to the body. A monkey flip sent her out to the canvas, and Bianca bounced off the near side with a double knee drop to her chest. A flurry of elbows landed against the side of her head before she popped back to her feet. Lozano started to rise as Bianca whipped her into the corner. She followed in after her with a running knee strike before grabbing her head to dart back out with a bulldog. She went for another cover with a leg hook as Pruitt slid into position.

Zack: Bianca’s still salty about that earlier cheap shot from Valentina, and she’s letting her know about it in the most painful way possible. 

ONE!!

TWOOOOOO!!!

Again, Valentina shoved her off the cover. Bianca quickly got back to her feet, and took towards the ropes again. But as she hit them, Isis caught her with a kick in the back. It stopped “Killer B” in her tracks as she leaned forward in pain, giving Valentina the chance to catch her with a lariat.

Mai: Even in the corner, Isis can be a game changer. And now Bianca gets what’s coming to her. I hope Melody is somewhere watching with a big bowl of popcorn.

Lozano resumed her power offense with clubbing blows across Bianca’s back when she tried to rise. She shoved her into the ropes and caught her coming forward into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. The “Latin Goddess” put the boots to her back, and stomped her foot into small of it before pulling back on her arms into a surfboard. The referee dropped down in front of “Killer B” to see if she wanted to stop the match, and got no such response. 

Zack: Valentina absolutely loves to work over an opponent’s back, and you can see the enjoyment written all over her face about how she’s punishing Bianca. 

Mai: Just go ahead and quit, Bianca. It’s not like she can tap out like this. Don’t worry, I won’t think any less of you. That’d be impossible!

The referee checked again, still getting a no from Bianca. Valentina told her she could do this all night, and them stomped into her back again to try to dig her heel in deeper. Isis applauded her friend from the corner, prompting Valentina to do it one more time. Instead of the back though, Lozano stomped her head into the mat and went right back to the surfboard submission. The Tacoma crowd began chanting for “Killer B” as Valentina mocked them for it. Pruitt checked again, still getting the same answer.

Zack: This Tacoma crowd is trying to rally “Killer B” back into this match, but Valentina has her in a compromising position, to say the least. I’m not sure how she’ll get out of it on her own.

Mai: She won’t. And then she’ll quit or pass out, and go on social media to blame British parliament or whoever comes across her mind that makes no sense.

Valentina continued to apply the pressure until Kelly came back in, and caught her with a dropkick to the back. It sent her stumbling forward into her own corner though, and Valentina made the tag to Isis. The referee went to get Kelly out of the ring as Isis scooped Bianca up, and lobbed her into a turnbuckle powerbomb. It crumpled her to a seat against the corner before Isis pressed a boot to her throat to choke her. Pruitt got to four before she stepped off, and Isis snatched her around the throat. She pulled her back to her feet, and dropped her with a single handed chokeslam before going for the cover. 

Mai: Look at how she picks her up with ease! Bianca looks like she’s about 4 years old in there with Isis, Zack. And now she’ll have something else to complain about tonight.

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

TH-NOPE!!!

Reed kicked out at two and a half, which seemed to amuse Isis. The powerhouse pulled her back to her feet by her head, and hoisted her upside down into what looked like a vertical suplex. The only difference was she held her up longer and longer before bringing her down with a brainbuster.

Zack: Isis let all the blood rush into Bianca’s head, and drilled her with that brainbuster. She looks like she’s having fun in there.

Isis’ confidence started taking over more as she pawed at Bianca with her foot, telling her to fight back. Reed was slow to get up, and it was clear her back was hurting as she did. Morales leaned over in front of her, and offered her a free shot with an amused look on her face. Reed’s face screwed up in anger right before she kicked her in the chin, and grabbed her head into a stunner that dropped Isis backwards on the mat. The crowd roared in approval as Reed sat up, wincing in pain at her back as she got to her feet.

Zack: That’s what happens when you get too cocky! You don’t give Bianca Reed a free shot, because she’ll always make you pay for it!

Mai: That was charity, Zack. Isis was pounding on her so much that she wanted a little something back. Bianca should thank Isis, not beat up on her for it.

Reed finally got back to her feet, and saw Isis was starting to get up too. She took off for the far side, and caught her as she did with a running neckbreaker. Getting back to her feet again, she headed for the corner and made her way to the top rope. She shouted at the redhead to get back to her feet. And when isis did, Bianca launched into a massive hurricanrana that spiked Isis on top of her head before she went for the cover!

Zack: That may have been the biggest damn hurricanrana in FFW history, and Isis may be on Dream Street right now!

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEE-NOPE!!

She kicked out in time, and Bianca headed towards her corner to make the tag. Kelly gave her one, and used the top rope to springboard into a missile dropkick to Isis’ chest. It stumbled her backwards, and the Evolution Champion followed up with a lungblower that put her down again.

Mai: Kelly should have taken my advice, Zack. She should have left Bianca out here to take what she has coming to her. But she’s a showboat just like Bianca. 

The blonde darted towards the corner, and scaled up to the top turnbuckle. And when Isis got back to her feet again and turned to find her, Kelly launched into a meteora! The redhead plummeted to the canvas as Kelly hooked one of her legs as she pinned her down. Pruitt dove into position to make the count as the crowd was entirely behind the blonde.

Zack: A meteora from the heavens has left Isis possibly seeing stars! Kelly’s got the cover! Could it be over right here?!

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THREEEEEEEE-NOPE!!!

Pruitt only got a two before Isis kicked out. The champion got back to her feet, pulling Isis with her. She whipped her across to the far side, and went for a Thesz press after she rebounded. But Isis caught her instead. Kelly’s eyes widened as Isis positioned her, and countered with a jackknife powerbomb!

Mai: You don’t see that happen too often! That was funny, did you see Kelly’s face when she realized she was stuck? 

Isis shook her head for a moment, and stepped over Kelly’s chest. She reached down to grab her, and then slam her into the mat with a gutwrench powerbomb. Grabbing her by the foot, she doubled back to her corner to make the tag to Valentina. Kelly found herself near the ropes as Valentina stomped on the nape of her neck as she stood on her back with the other foot. Her amusement clearly grew, as she started smiling widely.

Mai: Valentina should be a chiropractor, Zack. It’s hard to get better spinal realignment than with that GODDESS STOMP DOWN right there. 

Zack: The whole complexion of this match changed, thanks to Isis. And Valentina’s doing what any smart partner would do, she’s capitalizing on it. 

She backed herself into a neutral corner, waving for Kelly to get back to her feet. The Tacoma crowd chanted Kelly’s name as she finally made it, only to turn and catch Valentina’s trademark bicycle kick to the face that dropped her. Lozano slid into position to make the cover as Pruitt wasn’t far behind her. 

Mai: I do love to see that PRICELESS KISS any time I can! Kelly might feel differently about it though. 

ONE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-NOPE!!

Kelly got her other foot across the bottom rope, causing the referee to wave off the count. Lozano didn’t seem to mind as she got back to her feet.

Zack: You can see how much Valentina enjoys her line of work. She almost looks pleased that she gets to deliver more punishment to Kelly.

 She pulled the Evolution Champion up with her, scooping her into a double chickenwing. But before she could hit the move she was looking for, Bianca came back into the ring and caught her with a superkick that caused her to drop to the mat, along with Kelly. Reed immediately went back to her corner, and started shouting at Kelly to make the tag with her hand outstretched. The referee began a ten count on both women, but it was Kelly was starting to move first. She jerked Valentina up with her, and sent her into the corner before darting in after her. She caught her with a knee to the face, backflipped off and then brought her down with a facebuster. Kincaid dove across her for the cover with a hook of the leg. 

Zack: Valentina doesn’t know what hit her, but everyone in the Tacoma Dome knows an UNSAFE RELEASE when they see it!

ONE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-NOPE!!!

The cover never finished as Isis dragged Kelly off by her feet. The blonde rolled onto her back, and started using piston-like kicks to her chest. It wasn’t working all that well until Bianca came back into the ring, and dropped Isis with a blockbuster she wasn’t expecting!

Mai: I’ve had just about enough of Bianca’ breaking into this match when she isn’t legal. I think they should the Circle wrestle the rest of the match two on one!

Valentina struggled to get to her feet before Kelly grabbed her head, and connected with her headlock driver! That popped the crowd before she mad ethe cover, while Bianca kept Isis occupied. Pruitt slid into position immediately. 

Zack: Valentina will never be an angled, especially with CLIPPED WINGS!!

ONE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

The referee called for the bell as Bianca broke away from the redhead, and got her hand raised in victory. Christian congratulated her as he helped his wife to her feet, and the referee than raised both of their hands. 

Kat: Your winners of the match…………….’KILLER B’ BIANCA REED & KELLY KINCAID!!

Mai: The only reason they won is because Bianca kept cheating by coming into the ring illegally. This referee should be ashamed of herself. 

Zack: Oh yeah, I’m sure she’ll be up nights worrying about it. Give me a break!

Bianca looked across at her Unstoppable opponent, and offered her a handshake. Kelly looked skeptical at first, but returned it with a nod. Christian shook Bianca’s hand too, and raised both of the girls’ hands one more time. 

Zack: They may not ever be on one another’s Christmas card list, but you can tell there’s some respect built between Kelly and Bianca. 

As the pair left the ring, that’s when the show cuts to a commercial for Velocity this Thursday.



Starting At The Bottom

The next time we see Jake, he’s standing in the ring with a podium next to him. The Tacoma crowd gives him plenty of support, which brings a smile to his face before he begins. One of the first things noticeable is the fact that there’s a fleet of security along the ramp and one guard on each side of the entrance opening. 

Jake: I appreciate that. Tonight here in Tacoma for the first time since ever, we’re gonna have a public talent contract signing. And it just happens to be one of my favorite people, who you probably saw at Unstoppable 10 a couple weeks ago as a guest. Fans of Carnage Wrestling know her super well, but FFW fans are about to learn a lot more about her. So Tacoma, please join me in welcoming who will be the newest acquisition to the FFW roster….  MELODY LENNOX!! 

The lights go black in the arena. The pulse-like beat of "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish beginning to blare over the PA system, a series of spotlights in pastel tones of light pink, baby blue, and a pale lilac begin to flutter through the arena, dancing over the crowd - some of which who began to boo as soon as the entrance tron for Melody Lennox began to play over the screen.

White shirt now red, my bloody nose
Sleeping, you're on your tippy toes
Creeping around like no one knows
Think you're so criminal
Bruises, on both my knees for you
Don't say thank you or please
I do what I want when I'm wanting to
My soul? So cynical

The breathy voice of Billie Eilish continues to mesh with her perfectly-timed beat as the spotlights get a little more erratic. The chorus of the song now beginning to play through the speakers of the PA system.

So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh!

A single spotlight culminates on the stage with that almost bratty "duh!" and on the stage appears a wickedly grinning Melody Lennox. The Villainess appears in a form-fitting black dress with stacked, silver, sparkly heels. Her blonde and pink curls hanging loosely and freely, as she makes her way down the ramp. The petite girl sends a single smile to the direction of the man in the ring, and accepts the hand of one of the members of the security brigade in climbing the steel stairs to get to the apron. She walks along its length, bending into the ring under the bottom rope. Greeting her friend with a smile, before quickly nestling herself between two burly guards. “Bad Guy” began to fade into the distance while the cowardly girl soaked up some of the boos that came from the audience with little regard, beyond a pleased, smug smirk. The ring announcer hands her a microphone as Jake greets her after that.

Jake: Thanks for joining me, Melody. I’m sorry about the reaction, but that’s alright. Because you’re making history here. We’ve never had a new talent sign their contract here on a show since the company opened in 2010. So before you even have a match, you’ve already made FFW history and that’s pretty cool, I think.

A huge grin is plastered on the blonde’s face. Nodding her head. Even as she lifts the microphone up to her lips, the boos continue to reign in. A little sigh makes her shoulders slump, glancing from one side of the arena to the other.

Melody Lennox: Are you finished?

The boos only increase, making her eyes roll. She’s learned to drown them out by now, continuing on in a louder-than-normal tone into the mic.

Melody Lennox: Listen… this is nothing that I’m not used to. People never appreciate true greats during their time. I understand that comes with the territory. And really, I’m still very thankful to be here, to make history, just like you said. It’s exactly what someone like me, who has been so horribly mistreated, underappreciated, misused, abused… all of it deserves! And FFW has a huge gain now in signing yours truly to its roster.

Jake: It’s especially cool for me, because I’ve never gotten to do anything like this. So it’s awesome to not only do this, but with someone who means a lot to me. I got the contract right here…

He produces a pen from his pocket, and directs her to the podium where her contract awaits. Being as short as she is, the podium is elevated a bit off the mat. 

Jake: The future awaits. 

Smiling from ear-to-ear, Melody took hold of the edge of its tabletop surface. Glancing around a bit, surprised.

Melody Lennox: Did you get this made just for me? You’re the best, bestie!

She schmoozed, before beginning to flip through the pages of the contract. Her eyes quickly skimming the words on it, before she removed the cap from the fountain pen. Jotting her name down on the line in fancy, well-written cursive. 

Melody Lennox: It’s official. I am a member of FFW!

Jake: That’s fantastic, and I’m super happy for you. And before I came out here, I was told by management that you’re already booked for your first Pay Per View on FFW All Access. On September 28th in Houston at Sin & Sacrifice, you’ll be meeting “Killer B” Bianca Reed one on one. 

The fans popped at that. Why wouldn’t they, after Melody’s actions? Melody planted a hand on her hip, rolling her eyes at the reaction that Bianca had gotten.

Melody Lennox: Well, I would have loved a bigger opponent… but I guess I see what the goal is. No special treatment. Starting at the bottom.

They booed her callous words for her sister-in-law. Melody disregarded the jeers though, as she had learned to do.

Melody Lennox: I’m just happy that you were the one who got to make such a high profile announcement. That means the world to me for someone who’s done so much for me.

Melody smiled, her arm folding under her chest while the other one held onto the mic before her.

Melody Lennox: And can I just say I appreciate you taking the time to hire the personal security for me? We all know that Bianca’s got a few screws loose. I wouldn’t put it above her to try and jump me to get some sort of an advantage or to get whatever her idea is of payback. We’ve ALL seen the threatening messages she’s sent me, right? When she can be bothered to tag me, since she’s a coward.

She asked, the cheers from the crowd making her eyes go wide in horror.

Melody Lennox: Unbelievable.... I want to thank you, personally, Jake, for making sure that SHE doesn’t ruin MY night. Unlike some people.

Jake: No problem, plus you can relax and have a good time because I got you a spot to hang out at the Future Shock pool party Tuesday. So use that to relax and enjoy yourself, and see what the future of FFW...not counting you...looks like. 

Melody Lennox: Oh? Well then, I hope that the girls of Future Shock are ready to put on a show. I came here for competition, and I’m not easily impressed. 

She smiled, a proud look on the face of the boastful Villainess.

Melody Lennox: Having the opportunity to perform in front of me? That’s tremendous. I hope that they really do pull out ALL of the stops and give me something to look forward to competing against.

The camera zooms in on Melody’s expression amid the louder and louder boos before the show cuts to a commercial for the Future Shock pool party.

[Adam Grant]

Kat: The following contest is your main event of the evening and it is a submission rules match. The winner of this match will receive a shot at the FFW No Surrender Championship.

“All Stand Up” by Status Quo starts to play as the young lady runs out onto stage, heading to one side she urges the crowd to their feet, clapping her hands above her head. Skipping across to the other side, she waves them to their feet as she once more claps her hands over head. Quickly moving back to the ramp, she sprints down to the ring, sliding underneath the bottom rope and getting to her feet quickly. Bouncing off the ropes she powerslides across the ring on her knees before hopping to her feet and continuing to rally the crowd by stomping on the mat and clapping as she heads for her corner.

Kat: The young lady approaching the ring comes from Sheffield, England by way of New York City, New York. She is 5’7” tall and weighs 144lbs….LILLY ARTHUR!!!

Zack: As you just heard from Kat, it’s main event time on what has been quite a ride tonight here in Tacoma. Either this woman here or my broadcast partner’s Unity Tag Champ partner will face Bianca Salvador for the No Surrender Championship. No guessing who you’ll be cheering for, right Scarlett?

Scarlett: It was a tough decision, Zack…. Not. Of course I’m gonna have my girl’s back. I know Missy likes Lilly and all, but I think she’ll understand that I’m gonna cheer my awesome tag partner.

“Whoooa-whoa-whoa, yeah-yeah-yeah... (A disciple...)
Whoooa-whoa-whoa, yeah-yeah-yeah... (Shaolin here!)
People say, love is just a energy! (Don’t resist!)
Dealing with the claim baby! (Oh baby!)”

Kat: Accompanied to the ring by Christian Kincaid.. From Kumamoto, Japan and representing Chaotic Temptation as one half of your Unity Tag Team Champions... “THE OROCHI” O.E. AYANO!!

Walking towards the ring from behind the curtain is The Orochi, O.E. Ayano. Ayano is dressed in a sports jersey of a hometown team to the current city the show is taking place, as well as a surgical mask and her championship belt slung around her neck like a necklace. Christian pops out of the curtain soon after and whispers something in his client’s ear as “People Say” continues to play over the sound system. Together manager and wrestler walk down the ramp as the crowd cheers on the champion. She stops short of the ring and pulls off her jersey and surgical mask, handing it to Christian. Now visible in her wrestling gear, she leaps onto the apron as her entrance theme continues.

Zack: We gotta hope OE is laser focused tonight. I know she’s got a date with Valentina at Velocity Thursday after the Circle jumped you in the ladies’ room at Unstoppable. If she looks past Lilly at all, she’ll be in trouble in a hurry.

Scarlett: I can tell you with certainty O.E isn’t looking past anyone. She’s determined to finally get the shot that let’s be honest, she should have already had a long while ago.

As soon as Kat has made her way clear of the ring and referee Kevin Fisk has completed a check of both competitors he calls for the bell to get the match underway. Neither woman hangs around and they make their way into the centre of the ring, they look for a second like they might exchange a handshake but both instead go straight into a collar and elbow tie up. The two women struggle back and forth for a few moments before O.E starts to get the upper hand. She breaks the tie to hit Lilly with a forearm, but Arthur moves to catch her opponent's hand...only O.E seems ready for it coming and dodges to the side to avoid it.  The Orochi looks pleased with herself for half a second before she straightens back up, and gets sent straight down by a leg sweep from Lilly. Ayano pops straight back up to her feet, telling noone in particular that she meant for that to happen, before she ducks under a forearm shot from Lilly and pops up behind her. She grabs the Sheffield native around the waist and attempts to lift her up, but Lilly stomps down on her foot before she can.

Zack: As someone who has been in the ring with Lilly in championship situations, I’m sure you can empathize with OE right now. Did you give her any pointers for this match at all?

Scarlett: I gave her loads of pointers before this match, and she listened to them too! Why do you think her hair looks so good tonight, huh? That’s not a coincidence you know.

O.E releases her grip and Lilly spins on a dime to crack her across the jaw with a forearm smash that knocks The Orochi off balance slightly. Not giving her a chance to recover from that, Lilly grabs her by the arm and pulls her into a second forearm then fires her across into the ropes. O.E grabs the top rope to stop herself rebounding getting her a nod from her manager and a pop from the live Tacoma crowd, even Lilly looks mildly impressed before she takes off towards her at a run. Christian warns O.E and she spins around just in time to avoid the full force of the running knee that Lilly has her lined up for. Lilly’s knee just catches O.E on the side and she stumbles for a second but manages to regain her balance as Arthur does the same.

Scarlett: That was some quick thinking by O.E don’t you think? I’m proud of her already! It’s hard to be made to submit if you don’t let your opponent touch you!

Zack: It’s hard to do a lot of things in a match if you don’t let your opponent touch you, to be honest. But yes, she’s handling herself well so far.

Lilly pulls herself together and closes the gap between the two she goes to grab O.E’s arm but the Orochi pulls it away from her, only for Lilly to actually grab the other one for an arm wringer which she transitions into a hammerlock. Keeping the hammerlock tightly held the Sheffield native delivers a series of jabs into O.E’s kidney area which freezes the Unity Champion in place. Using the hammerlock Lilly kicks the back of Ayano’s legs to force her down to her knees and then begins to unload a series of stiff kicks into her back. O.E tries to rise but Lilly uses the hammerlock to keep her pushed down on her knees. Realising that she’s having no luck getting up, O.E suddenly drops down to her stomach instead. Lilly loosens her grip with the surprise move and O.E takes advantage to free her arm and roll onto her back.

Zack: How are you feeling since Unstoppable? I don’t know how much damage the Circle did to you, so enlighten us on where you are physically now.

Scarlett: I’m alright now. I did spend a week taking it easy after it, lucky I didn’t have a match that night! They’re sore losers aren’t they? Can’t take getting beat in the ring, so jump people out of it.

Arthur manages to prevent herself from falling face first and regains her balance before she moves to pull O.E back up...but the Orochi has other ideas and catches Lilly by the head and gives her a wet willy which gets an equal measure of cheers and ‘ewwwws’ from the crowd. Lilly manages to pull herself free and backs up wiping her ear as she does with a look of disgust on her face. O.E shrugs it off and gets back to her feet and straight away charges the former Fast Track Champion knocking her backwards into the nearest corner. The Sheffield native hits the turnbuckles with a thud and Ayano takes a few steps back to build up speed to go back with a running dropkick square to Yorkshire woman’s chest.

Scarlett: I’m with the crowd on this one….ewwww. I can’t look when O.E does that wet willy stuff, it’s bleurgh!

Zack: That’s just some of her unorthodox offense. She’s also fond of nipple twisting when the mood arises. I’ve called a match or two with Missy where she tried that one.

Scarlett: Some people just call that a regular Friday night.

Lilly stumbles forwards out of the corner and O.E catches her around the head to use a DDT to send her down to the canvas. She starts to move into position at the side of her, but Lilly immediately rolls out of the way towards the ropes. She leans against them for a moment rubbing her chest and looking a little dazed before she uses them to start to rise up. O.E takes off towards her at a charge, but Lilly slumps back down to the canvas and O.E sails over the top rope to land precariously on the apron. Lilly gets herself back to a vertical base as O.E is climbing into the ring and the Sheffield native immediately clocks her with a forearm to the jaw before she spins her around and uses a German suplex to deposit her awkwardly on the canvas.

Zack: You just know somewhere Bianca Salvador is watching, possibly with a bowl of popcorn hoping both of these do serious damage to each other so she can pick up the scraps.

Scarlett: Most likely, I wouldn’t put it past her to want to make her defense as easy as possible. She got the shot at the title easily enough after all, while poor O.E is jumping through more hoops than the Dolphins at Sea World.

The Sheffield native quickly makes it back to a vertical base and takes off towards the ropes, using them to build up momentum she comes back with a leg drop that lands square across O.E’s chest. The Japanese wrestler rolls onto her stomach following the impact and starts to push up to her hands and knees, only for Lilly to come off the opposite ropes with a second leg drop across her back to push her face first down to the canvas. A double knee drop into Ayano’s spine follows from the former Fast Track Champion before she gets back to her feet and looks down at her face-down opponent. She reaches down to pull the Chaotic Temptation member up slightly, sits on her back, and places both of her arms across her thighs, managing to lock one of them in place in the crook of her knee. Lilly reaches forward, cups her hands and interlocks her fingers then grabs the Japanese wrestler's chin in her cupped hands. She leans back, pulling on O.E’s chin as she does to apply pressure to her back.

Scarlett: You know what I’ve always wondered, why call it a camel clutch? Is it because it gives your opponent the hump? I know I’d get the hump if I was stuck in one.

Zack: Actually that’s a camel clutch, not a cobra. And you’re right, because it looks like she has a hump on her back...like a camel.

O.E gives a yell of pain and Fisk drops down in front of her to see if she wants to give in, getting a very definite no in response from the Orochi. Christian starts to give her some advice from ringside and Ayano starts to stretch towards the ropes with her untrapped arm, but finds them just out of reach. With the crowd split evenly with support for both women, O.E continues to stretch towards the ropes while Lilly leans back further to apply more pressure to O.E’s back getting another yell of pain in response, and prompting Fisk to ask the Unity Champion again if she wants to quit. O.E doesn’t answer immediately then grits her teeth and shakes her head in the negative getting her a pop from the crowd.

Zack: We saw how far OE is willing to go to get to the No Surrender Championship. If you recall her first meeting with Sophia Pike, they had to carry her out practically because she would not give in.

Scarlett: O.E is tough! She wants this so much, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her quite so determined as she’s been in the run up to this.

Lilly readjusts her position slightly to get a better grip and as soon as she does O.E makes a lunge for the ropes...but doesn’t quite get to grab onto the bottom rope before Lilly pulls her back and gets her grip back in place. With no chance of reaching the ropes Ayano starts to buck wildly beneath the former Fast Track Champion. Lilly starts to look like she’s riding a bucking bronco as O.E starts moving even more frantically beneath her. Arthur’s eyes widen as she tries to keep her grip before O.E finally manages to unseat her and sends her to a seated position on the canvas as she herself pushes up to her knees.

Scarlett: I taught her that… kinda. We went on those bucking bronco rides in a theme bar one night. I’m sure that’s where she got the idea!

Zack: Was OE the bronco because that’s what she looks li ke?

O.E makes it all the way back to a vertical base with a grimace as she holds her back. She shakes it off and throws an ‘ok’ symbol with her fingers to her tag partner in the booth. Lilly meanwhile gets back to her feet and O.E spots her from the corner of her eye. The Orochi immediately closes the gap before Lilly has a chance to fully get her feet and immediately spins her around, hammering several forearm shots into her neck and shoulders once she has. O.E. puts the former Fast Trak Champion in a Cobra Clutch before sweeping her leg with one of hers and sends her face forward.

Scarlett: I recognize that, that’s BLACK MAMBA!

Zack: That it is, and one of the more dangerous submissions in the Orochi’s arsenal. Lilly better find a way out soon, or O.E.s gonna get her wish.

Lilly starts to move before O.E can transition into anything else, so the Orochi instead gets to her feet and takes off towards the ropes. As Arthur gets back to a fully vertical base, Ayano rebounds off the ropes and hits her with a running dropkick to the back that sends her face first into the ropes. The Sheffield native hits them and rebounds off only to be caught by O.E who uses a backbreaker to take her down. Lilly bounces from the impact and rolls onto her side holding her back as O.E gets into position sitting beside her. She makes a move to grab Lilly’s arm, but the Sheffield native is having none of that and shoots her arm back at speed catching O.E with an elbow shot to the nose that almost brings tears to the Unity Champion’s eyes.

Zack: We talk about how low blows can stop you. So can getting struck on the nose. It hurts like crazy, and fills your eyes with water, which also makes it hard to see.

Scarlett: I don’t think Lilly even meant to catch her on the nose then, but I think it’s about the only thing that could have stopped O.E… though it won’t stop her for long. She’d do this with one arm and one leg if she had to!

The former Fast Track Champion scrambles back up to her feet as O.E rolls onto her back holding her nose. Lilly looks at her position and quickly steps between her legs, and grabs both one of them and moves to grab the other. Before she can actually get a grip on it O.E kicks out with all her might and catches Arthur in the ribs sending her stumbling back into the ropes. Christian encourages O.E to get back to her feet sooner rather than later, which she does as Lilly rebounds off the ropes. Ayano starts to turn to her face but before she can Lilly catches her from behind and delivers her Full Nelson Facebuster to face plant the Orochi on the canvas.

Zack: I’ve seen Lilly use that before! That can lead into the hold that cost my broadcast partner the Fast Track Championship earlier this year!

Scarlett: I remember. Thanks for bringing it up, Zack!

The Tacoma crowd pops for Lilly as they can tell what’s coming next and she doesn’t disappoint as she gets into position to apply her sugar hold. She starts to move to get the full nelson locked in but O.E starts throwing her head back wildly like she’s head banging at a metal concert. Lilly doesn’t get discouraged and keeps attempting to get the full nelson locked in while trying to avoid O.E’s wild head movements at the same time.

Scarlett: Who knew that O.E was a closet head banger?! She wouldn’t look out of place in a mosh pit with moves like that!

Zack: I don’t think grunge bands are OE’s preferred style of music, and that’s a very unique way to try to get out of a full nelson. Usually the easiest way is to hold your arms straight up and slide.

Ayano’s movements seem to slow down a little and Lilly moves to get the full nelson locked in again, only O.E surprises her with a sudden move of her head that connects square with Lilly’s nose causing a nasty cracking sound. This time it’s Lilly’s eyes that start to water as she rolls back to her knees and brings her hands up to her nose. O.E gets back to her feet and looks almost apologetic for the briefest of seconds before she takes off to the ropes at a run. She bounces off them and comes back with a knee to the side of Lilly’s head that rocks her knees. Ayano barely pauses before she takes off for the opposite side, this time coming back with a shining wizard that rocks Lilly on her knees even more but still doesn’t put her down.

Zack: Sheffield’s favorite daughter just got her gray matter scrambled right there, and I think OE’s feeling like the end is a lot closer than the beginning.

Scarlett: Lilly’s a resilient one though isn’t she? O.E’s just cracked her in the head multiple times and she’s still standing...okay, kneeling, but you get what I meant.

O.E backs up a step and then spins to deliver a low roundhouse kick to the Sheffield native’s head that finally knocks her backwards to the canvas. O.E seems to mouth finally, before she rolls the former Fast Track Champion onto her front and delivers an elbow drop into her spine. O.E. moves into a seated position next to Lilly then pulls her arm up against her own throat with her hands linked together to lock in her Snake Pond finisher.

Scarlett: SNAKE POND! There’s no way that Lilly’s going to get out of this! Especially not with her eyes watering like they are. I hope she’s wearing waterproof mascara, otherwise that is gonna look horrendous.

Zack: She’ll either tap out or pass out in a matter of moments. OE’s got her caught, and Lilly nor anyone else is gonna last long in that.

Fisk drops down in front of Lilly to ask if she wants to submit, getting a resolute no from the Sheffield native, but it is clear she is struggling with her eyes still watering from the crunching impact with her nose. The Tacoma crowd get behind her as she starts to try and reach the ropes, and when she finds them out of reach starts trying to pull herself across to them. She digs her fingers into the canvas and tries to pull herself nearer to them, but O.E tightens her grip and pulls back keeping the Sheffield native from moving an inch.

Zack: Lilly’s literally clawing the canvas like a cat trying to reach to the ropes, but OE is putting a stop to that and expertly so!

Scarlett: OE is close enough to touch the finish line now, there’s no chance she’s going to let that or Lilly slip out of her clutches!

Lilly’s moves start to slow down as O.E tightens her grip restricting the air Lilly’s getting. She still tries to reach the ropes, but they are even further away than before thanks to O.E pulling back. Fisk asks again if she wants to submit and the Sheffield native grits her teeth looking like she will say no. Her eyes dart around desperately looking for an escape and she struggles against O.E’s grip, but that just makes it tighter. Fisk asks for the third time and Lilly gives a final look around before tapping her hand quickly.

Scarlett: Gotta give Lilly credit, she held on longer than some would have especially with her eyes still watering from that headbutt. She might have gotten a free nose job tonight. Think she’ll thank OE for it?

Zack: Lilly Arthur was on her game tonight, and I have no doubt she’ll be in line to earn a crack at the champion in the future. But it was OE’s night, and she’s got a helluva fight on her hands against the Typhoon when it happens.

Fisk gets to his feet and calls for the bell and O.E immediately releases the hold and helps Lilly to sit up telling her it was nothing personal.

Kat: Your winner………………………...O.E AYANO!

Ayano gets to her feet to have her hand raised by Fisk as Christian rolls into the ring to join her and raise her other hand. The Orochi makes a championship sign around her waist before she accepts her Unity Tag Championship back from Christian and holds it high above her head mouthing that it she’ll have two soon.

Zack: Both of these women put on a clinic tonight, but the No Surrender Champion is gonna have her hands full when she meets OE for the titanium title! Fans, the Prospects and a whole lot of special guests  are having a pool party on Future Shock! And Missy will meet the Evolution Champion in the main event of Velocity!

Scarlett: I knew OE was going to do it! She wouldn’t have accepted any other outcome. And how come I never get invited to the Future Shock Pool Parties, I’ll have to have words with Adam about that, I look great in swimwear!

Christian holds the ropes open for O.E to roll out and then rolls out himself, as the two start to make their way to the back the show comes to an end.
