"CCW XX 18 is coming your way live from the University of Texas and the Frank Erwin Center," Cris Collinsworth says, "and this episode is brought to you by Snickers®: You're not you when you're hungry. Snickers Satisfies™."

"And also by Corona Extra®," Al Michaels adds, "which reminds you to Find Your Beach™…but it's been anything BUT a beach here on XX so far—Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth making the call while Jeremy and Jonathan Ellis are…away…and from show start onward, it has been absolute chaos, cacophony and disorder all around—and we still have two matches left AND our CCW Females Champion Gwen Tennyson is scheduled to be FIRED tonight!"

"Commissioner Gordon said he was going to put his foot down on Gwen and her actions…and considering said actions, I can't justify any other way," Cris says. "I may be in the minority on this…but it'll be sad to see her go."

"And that begs the question: what will become of the CCW Females Championship once Gwen Tennyson is given the pink slip? Tonight's main event, the Highway Five-Way, will certainly have HEAVY ramifications in that department," Al states.


Carmen Sandiego is walking backstage in an unwholesome mood, punching a wall after losing to Aelita in the fifth One-Night Tournament matchup of the evening after appearing to come so close to victory. The Lady in Red kicks a nearby crate in anger and grits her teeth, snarling, "Uuugghh…that was my chance to break out, for Christ's sake! I HAD it! How does that pink abomination—I had her pinned! She couldn't kick out; she had to get the damn ropes…"

Carmen punches another wall in dismay…before Katniss Everdeen walks by, still recalling the conversation of earlier with Sandiego.

"Hey…nice effort against the streak, Carmen," Katniss says with a sly smile. "You DO have quite a story to tell now…not the one you had in mind though, I bet…"

Carmen looks at Katniss, who is clearly enjoying rubbing in Carmen having to eat her words on being so sure…

…and Carmen slaps Katniss in the face! Katniss grabs her cheek in surprise and recoil…and Carmen walks away, muttering, "Dumb brat…"

Katniss responds, though, by grabbing Carmen from behind and Head Slamming her into a wall! Katniss turns Carmen around to face her and starts beating away at her face, unappreciative of the slap from the Miss of Misdemeanor! Carmen responds with a Kneelift to the gut of Everdeen, Irish Whipping her into the wall now and starting to go to town with punches herself. Carmen hits a European Uppercut and then goes for a Short-Arm Clothesline…but Katniss ducks it and goes behind Carmen with a German Suplex! Katniss and Carmen both get up, both of them intent on inflicting more pain on one another. However, Reggie Rocket and Xena both enter the scene, standing in front of Katniss and holding her back as she picks up a nearby steel chair, preparing to strike Carmen across the face with it! The Rocket Girl and the rested Warrior Princess hold Katniss off while Carmen gets up, holding the back of her head…and glaring at Katniss, thinking about going at her again…

…before saying, "Another time…another place…" and slowly walking off-screen. Reggie and Xena both watch Carmen take her leave while Katniss resists her own urge to go after Sandiego for the moment.


"…I swear, is there something in the water here?!" Cris inquires. "Everything's going crazy here—there's not a single calm moment, from Gwen Ten to Chell to THEM now…"

"Carmen Sandiego and Katniss Everdeen sharing a LOT more than words in that exchange…" Al states.

[When the sun goes down, down, down, down

Boy are you afraid of the dark—dark?

And when the lights go out, out, out, out

Tell me do you know where to start—start?

And when the base gets loud, loud, loud

That is when I feel a part (Ahhhhhh)

And when the world sleeps sound, sound, sound, sound

Well, the sound is the key to my heart—heart…]

("We Run the Night" by Havana Brown feat. Pitbull plays)

The crowd gives a loud ovation as the tag team of May and Dawn make their way onto the stage, May clad in orange and Dawn in her favorite color blue. The two coordinators get the crowd fired up, raising their hands together before facing one another…and Dawn whispers and winks at May, "Right here…"

…to which May replies, "…right now!" high-fiving her partner and following her to the ring.

"The following is the penultimate match of XX 18, a Tag Team Match set for one fall!" Blader DJ announces. "Introducing first, at a combined weight of 246 pounds, May and Dawn, the Poké-Coordinators!"

"One of the most popular tag teams in CCW and most popular in Animated as well!" says Al. "Tonight, they're in action here on XX looking to knock off a former Women's Tag Team Champion and the current UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion."

"Oddly enough, these two ALSO were involved in some backstage banter with one another before leading up to this match," Cris says.

"Indeed—Prettier Muscle not exactly making friends with the Poké-Coordinators, and as a matter of fact, they even questioned Dawn's PREGNANCY…calling her fat, poking fun at her weight, and I bet a certain male Wong wasn't too thrilled hearing that from the Biggest Loser trainer," Al says.

May and Dawn both stand on adjacent turnbuckles, raising their hands in the air and getting even more and even louder cheers…as the two of them await their opponents.

"Jillian's a professional trainer, Al; she can tell babies from body fat, for sure," Cris states. "So if she's saying Dawn's just fat…you have to be tempted to buy it from her, you know?"

"Oh, don't be ridiculous!" Al scoffs. "She's had that baby for months!"

"Hmph…and May's not exactly the most in-shape girl on the roster, either," Cris muses.

[Whooooooooooa!

Whooooooooooa!

Whooooooooooa!

Whooooooooooa!

Let it go; blood drips from your camera

Just like a knife held in your hand

What you mad about? I don't know and I don't give a damn

Break the rules because I can]

("Smoke and Mirrors" by Emphatic plays)

The crowd gives a loud negative reaction to Prettier Muscle as the arena lighting turns a light shade of blue.

"And their opponents, at a combined weight of 240 pounds, the team of Jillian Michaels and 'Rowdy' Ronda Rousey, Prettier Muscle!" Blader DJ says.

"Jillian Michaels and Ronda Rousey may've been also mocking May and Dawn's CCW losses to teams such as the Stark Sisters, but ever since losing a Tag Team Three-Way Dance for the CCW Women's Tag Team Championship against the Powerpuff Girls and Techno-Tongue—being the first team eliminated in that match, no less…" Al starts speaking while looking at the ramp, waiting for Jillian and Ronda to appear…

[Let everybody see

The future here in me

Just watch the wheels go round

I'll cheer as you go down!]

…but Prettier Muscle don't come out from the back, much to May and Dawn's initial confusion.

"…aaaaand…where are Prettier Muscle?" Al inquires.

"Are they whipping a stagehand into shape back there?" Cris surmises. "They get so into their duty of making backstage fit that they might've forgotten about their…match…?"

Suddenly, Prettier Muscle are shown on the Titantron, and Jillian whistles at the Poké-Coordinators inside the ring, grabbing their attention. "Yo, ladies!" Jillian whistles again. "Up here and up yours!"

Ronda Rousey smirks as she adjusts the UFC Bantamweight Championship Belt on her shoulder.

"Why are they backstage? They have a match…" says Al.

"Normally, this would be the part of the show where Ronda and I walk down that aisle, ready to put yet ANOTHER tick in the Poké-Coordinator CCW 'L' column," Jillian says, "but while we were making our way to the ring, we couldn't help but notice…you two left your locker room open…" Jillian points to the open locker room door of the Poké-Coordinators as the camera pans out. "And we saw that and, well, a few things actually came to mind. First off, you two are Pokémon Coordinators; you have to tame and domesticate these 'Pokémon' to compete in these 'contests' and you have to get him into high gear and tiptop SHAPE…and looking at you alone, Dawn, I can only IMAGINE what that process is like…"

Dawn grimaces angrily as the fans boo Jillian's remark.

"I mean, if you can't take care of yourself, if you can't be fit, how can your POKÉMON be fit?" Jillian questions with a laugh. "And May, if you're FRIENDS with such a portly porker, how can YOUR Pokémon be fit either?"

May glares viciously at the Biggest Loser personality on the big screen.

"But, as I found out, you two, believe it or not, have actually won quite a number of contests for yourselves… HOW?" Jillian asks incredulously.

"…Let's find out," Ronda says…before walking into the Poké-Coordinators locker room. Jillian, chortling, follows Rousey inside as well. Jillian shuts the door behind her.

"What are they doing…?" Al asks as May and Dawn are not amused. Rather, the two are worried…

Jillian notices a row of Poké Balls on the shelf…and her curiosity takes over as she picks one of the Poké Balls up.

"Hey—that's not yours! Put it down!" May shouts off-mic at Prettier Muscle.

"Oh, what did you say? Open it? Why didn't you say so sooner?" Jillian shrugs, opening the Poké-Ball…and releasing May's Munchlax, which appears on the locker room floor, confused. Munchlax looks around and blinks twice before noticing Prettier Muscle, gasping in surprise and wondering what is going on.

"Ronda, your turn," Jillian says. "Pick one from THAT shelf…"

"With pleasure," Ronda nods before walking to another shelf, picking up a second Poké Ball…

…and releasing Dawn's Mamoswine…which appears on the side of the room, fast asleep. Both Jillian and Ronda look at Mamoswine in sheer shock with widened eyes and surprise.

"Oh…my…God…" Jillian utters. "Ronda…we're gonna need a bigger treadmill for that…that THING…"

"Quit it already!" Dawn yells off-mic inside the ring herself.

Jillian and Ronda turn to Munchlax, who points to his own open mouth.

"Hm? You're hungry?" Ronda raises an eyebrow. "Of course you are—because the one thing you need to do right now is eat… I mean, look at you… Tch… What do Dawn and May even FEED you creatures?"

Ronda looks beside her…and her elbows knocks into a pot full of Poffins. Ronda snatches the pot and looks inside, taking a Poffin and sniffing it before handing it to Jillian. "The hell are these…?"

Jillian takes a whiff. "Ugh! The heck if I know…" Jillian coughs. "I don't know what food group THOSE would fall under…but obviously not the right food group for THESE tubbies. Let's try something else—something they should have tried a LONG time ago…"

Jillian reaches into her hooded sweatshirt pocket…and pulls out a bottle of Gaspari Nutrition MyoFusion® Probiotic Series Chocolate Peanut Butter protein powder.

"What are you doing?! What is that?!" May shouts to ears that are not listening.

"What is Jillian thinking?" asks Al.

"Hmmmm…should I go with…Chocolate Peanut Butter…or…" Jillian suddenly pulls out a second bottle, one with Gaspari Nutrition MyoFusion® Probiotic Series Banana Perfection protein powder. "…Banana Perfection…? Ronda, which do you think he'll like better?"

May's Munchlax grunts quizzically, not knowing what Jillian has in mind. Jillian shakes both of the bottles and awaits Ronda's reply.

"You know what?" Ronda speaks. "I think she needs BOTH…"

"BOTH?" Jillian repeats, raising an eyebrow…

…before grinning and saying, "I couldn't agree more."

Jillian opens both of the powders…

…and she dumps them both on top of Munchlax, bathing him in protein!

"WHAT THE HECK—HEY! THAT'S MAY'S POKÉMON!" Al exclaims.

"Her very OUT-OF-SHAPE Pokémon—Jillian's doing this for a good cause!" Cris insists.

"MUNCHLAX!" May shouts, bothered by what she is witnessing. Dawn yells for the fit duo to stop, but Jillian keeps pouring on the protein powders all over Munchlax!

"YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, FURBALL! Your MASTER did you wrong, but your NEW diet begins no—WHOA!" Ronda Rousey is interrupted by Dawn's Buneary, who flies onto the screen and Dizzy Punches at the MMA phenom!

"HEY! What is that rabbit doing?!" Cris protests.

"Saving her friend—that's what she's doing!" Al answers.

The crowd cheers for Buneary's interference, some of them even starting a "Buneary!" chant as Ronda is backed up against the wall by the Dizzy Punch, disoriented! Buneary yells at Prettier Muscle aggressively…

…before Jillian Michaels, having emptied out the protein powders, walks up to Buneary and asks, "Who the hell are you?! Trying to—WHAT THE?!"

Buneary doesn't even let Jillian finish, hitting HER with a Dizzy Punch as well! Buneary sends Jillian backwards into a garbage can in May and Dawn's locker room, the Poké-Coordinators cheering on the Rabbit Pokémon as she fends off the intruders. However, Ronda grabs one of Buneary's ears from behind!

"OH NO!" Al gasps.

Ronda pulls Buneary up off of the ground, holding her by just her ear and frowning. "If you wanted to join the workout regimen…all you had to do was ask!" Ronda says…

…before stepping over Buneary's ear, leaving her feet…

…and locking in a Cross EARBREAKER onto Buneary's long left ear!

"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD, RONDA'S GOT DAWN'S BUNEARY IN A CROSS ARMBREAKER ON THE EAR! A CROSS EARBREAKER! COME ON; THIS IS UNCALLED FOR!" Al asserts crossly as the crowd boos massively for this bullying display!

May and Dawn are scared and worried, both of them exiting the ring and running to the back as fast as they possibly can, trying to head back to their locker room to help their Pokémon! Meanwhile, Ronda keeps the Cross Earbreaker applied, pulling Buneary's ear almost for thirty seconds straight as Jillian recovers. Jillian stands up, clutches her face…and stomps on the downed Buneary twice before yelling, "YOU WANNA PUNCH ME?! YOU WANNA PUNCH ME, HUH?! DO I LOOK LIKE SARAH MCLACHLAN?! DO I LOOK AFRAID TO HIT BACK?! WATCH ME!"

Munchlax tries to rub the protein powder out of his eyes…while Ronda Rousey pulls even HARDER on the left ear of Buneary! Munchlax backs up into Jillian Michaels's leg…

…and Michaels grabs Munchlax from behind…lifts him up…

…throws him into the air…

"No, no…"

…and drops him with the Biggest Loss!

"NO!" Al grieves.

"WOW, did you see the HEIGHT on that?! That's the biggest Biggest Loss I'VE ever seen!" Cris applauds.

"She just hit her Biggest Loss onto a POKÉMON, Cris! An INNOCENT Pokémon!" Al exclaims. "That is HEINOUS!"

Jillian looks down at her work, smiling from ear to ear…before hearing the sound of the doorknob. Jillian urges Ronda to let go of Buneary and stand up herself; the Rowdy One obliges…

…and as soon as May and Dawn barge in each with kendo sticks in hand, Prettier Muscle hightail it out of their locker room and out of sight! The crowd chants "YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!" at the fleeing fitness gurus.

"MUNCHLAX!" May yells in concern.

"BUNEARY, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" Dawn exclaims. "Oh, Buneary… DAMN IT, RONDA!"

"Those Prettier Muscle jerks are going to PAY for this!" May cries as she tries checking vital signs for her Munchlax. "Grrrr… Munchlax…"

The Poké-Coordinators aid their Pokémon as they both lie on the floor, Buneary's ear and Munchlax's head aching profusely.

"…DESPICABLE on the part of Rousey and Michaels…" Al grumbles.

"It's only despicable if you don't need the exercise, Cris!" Cris says. "Dawn and May should be THANKING them! They didn't even need a gym membership for that session!"

"Thankful my ass!" Al retorts…


…as the cameras switch to all five competitors in the XX 18 main event of the evening—Jenny Wakeman, Arya Stark, Lisa Simpson, Emmy, and Aelita in that order from left to right.

"Well…hopefully May and Dawn's Pokémon are okay from that…unnecessary attack—coming up NEXT, however, is the finals of the Double X One-Night Tournament to decide a new #1 Contender or perhaps a new HOLDER of the CCW Females Championship of the World!" Al says. "Jenny Wakeman, Arya Stark, Lisa Simpson, Emmy and Aelita all made it this far; who's going all the way? And after that…Gwen Tennyson, the CCW Females Champion, is going to be FIRED…"


Cameras now switch to Gwen Tennyson, who is sitting in a room by her lonesome, staring at the television.

"And speaking of the devil—and I mean that LITERALLY…" Al comments.

"The Alpha Bitch…perhaps pondering…what her final words are going to be…" Cris says.

"…Double X 18 returns NEXT!" says Al Michaels.

Coming soon…

The biggest PPV in Character Championship Wrestling history…

The showcase of the elite…

Live from Tokyo, Japan…

CCW Zenith

[Break me!]


"CCW Zenith, already scheduled to happen live from the Tokyo Dome," Al says, "the FINAL of the Big Three CCW PPVs and the grand stage for Character Championship Wrestling—you saw clips of Gwen Tennyson in that package…but once Gordon does the honors, she will NOT be appearing at that PPV, because she's going to be unemployed from here!"

"Commissioner Gordon plans to fire Gwen Tennyson on the spot tonight, effectively vacating the CCW Females Championship…" Cris says, "and the reason why is, well…because to kick this night off, Gwen Tennyson STABBED fellow commentator Jonathan Ellis in cold blood…nearly MURDERING the young man right in front of us…and for that, Gordon is going to take action for Gwen Ten crossing the line…"

"…Truly reprehensible on the part of Gwen Tennyson—a different level of reprehensible from anything we've seen from her," Al comments.

"Agreed…but Prettier Muscle just did something GREAT!" Cris praises. "They gave May and Dawn's Pokémon a free workout, complete with meal and stretches! You have to give them credit; Jillian's no Sarah McLachlan, but she is a HELL of a humanitarian!"

"Ugh…HARDLY…" Al shakes his head. "I'll say this much: May and Dawn are going to be thinking of nothing else but PAYBACK for a good while after THAT display… Poor Munchlax and poor Buneary…just terrible…"

"More like poor Mamoswine! He slept through the whole thing and missed it!" Cris groans. "Awww, he'll get his workout next time…"

Al rolls his eyes and resists the urge to smack Cris.

The crowd starts to get restless…before Blader DJ says, "Ladies and gentlemen, this match is the Finals of the XX 18 One-Night Tournament, a Highway Five-Way Match to determine the #1 Contender for the CCW Females Championship! The first wrestler to obtain a pinfall or a submission inside the ring will be declared the winner!"

[Violated

So degraded

The show has just begun

(Three, two, one!) Dominated

By all you hated

This will make you ULTRAnumb

(Three, two, one!)]

("ULTRAnumb" by Blue Stahli plays)

Jenny Wakeman is the first to walk down to the ring to a throng of cheers and some "JENNY WAKEMAN! (clap clap clap-clap-clap)" chants.

"First, from Tremorton, USA, weighing 121 pounds, 'The Teenage Robot' Jenny Wakeman!" Blader DJ says.

"The first woman to qualify for the Highway Five-Way after defeating Xena in tonight's opening match," Al says, "and she may be the first woman ever to say she has held both the CCW Females AND Women's Tag Team Championship!"

"FWA-winning Former Tag Team Champion of the Year," Cris notes. "She's already taken a step back to possible gold—here's hoping this Five-Way turns out better for her than it WOULD HAVE for her partner."

("Let Battle Commence" by West One Music plays)

Arya Stark walks down to the ring, spotlight on her through the darkened arena, receiving a mix of cheers and boos.

"Second, from Winterfell, weighing 101 pounds even, Arya Stark!" Blader DJ says.

"Sansa's backstage this time to watch Arya Stark her sister possibly wrestle her way to singles gold for House Stark," Al says.

"Arya defeated Mileena to make it here, and after seeing that Guillotine Choke of hers, I'd have to say that Arya Stark WOULD be a potential favorite of mine…"

[We're aaall wooden puuuuppets on a striiiing!

Like marionettes, we dance around for the world to see! (World to see)

One by one, she'll drop us all if we don't sing

We'll always be her puuuuppets on a striiiiiiiiiiiing!]

("Puppets on a String" by Dale Oliver plays)

"…if I didn't have THIS women pegged as the favorite already—the freshest woman in the match!" Cris asserts as Lisa Simpson saunters onto the stage, drawing a crown on her own head, signifying her status as the Crown Jewel of CCW.

"Third, from Springfield, USA, weighing 119 pounds, Lisa Simpson!" Blader DJ says over the crowd's boos.

"Cris makes a good point – Lisa Simpson IS the freshest body in the contest, what with having the shortest match in the first round at only thirty seconds defeating Mystique Sonia…after Sonia had been BRUTALLY assaulted by a surly Gwen Tennyson," says Al.

"Lisa's got destiny AND fatigue on her side here! All of the other four participants are going into this hurt and/or exhausted!" Cris notes.

"And THIS girl up next…may be the MOST hurt or exhausted of them all…" Al states.

[God, I want to dream again

Take me where I've never been

I want to go there

This time I'm not scared

Now I am unbreakable

It's unmistakable

No one can touch me

Nothing can stop meeeeeee!]

("Unbreakable" by Fireflight plays)

To a thunderous ovation, Emmy slowly walks down to the ring, taking her time and gingerly making her way there. Emmy gives one nearby fan a high-five before slowly rolling underneath the bottom rope and climbing to the second rope and signaling that her path to the Title will be realized here!

"Fourth, from the Playroom, weighing 111 pounds, Emmy!" Blader DJ announces.

"Emmy's certainly proven to be Unbreakable through Nevermore, the FWAs and tonight, winning THREE grueling matches with odds against her in a big way," says Al. "But the odds have NEVER been against her as much as this since her return!"

"I don't know what's keeping Emmy standing, but expect whatever it is to be the first casualty once that bell rings!" Cris remarks.

"The late addition to the Tournament won what became a Triple Threat Match between her, Blossom and Trixie Tang; could Emmy get the Females Championship opportunity she has strived for since her return…"

[She's like a lost flower

Growing out through a crack

In the bustling sidewalk

Moving like a river so sad

So hey, where we going?

Tell me where we've gone

Was there love and fury

Energy and passion?]

("Lovefurypassionenergy" by Boy Hits Car plays)

"…or will the undefeated Code Lyoko lady punch HER ticket to the Females crown?" Al says as the fans cheer loudly for the Lyoko Princess as she rounds out the wrestlers inside the ring.

"And fifth and last, now residing in Paris, France, weighing 135 pounds, Aelita!" Blader DJ says.

"Unbeaten in CCW, and she defeated Carmen Sandiego in the last match in the tournament's first round!" Al notes. "Tonight, she faces three women she's never opposed in the ring before and one person whom she HAS… How will Aelita rise to THIS challenge?"

"Or how will the CHALLENGE crush HER?" Cris says. "You talk about bad odds? Emmy's the definition of bad odds, but Aelita's not too far off of that page in the dictionary! In terms of fatigue, she's had the LEAST amount of time to rest up! And with Prettier Muscle vs. The Poké-Coordinators getting debunked, Aelita had even LESS time to prepare! Lisa Simpson is at the MOST distinct advantage—then Jenny, then Arya, THEN Aelita…and Emmy in dead last."

All five of the women inside the ring eye each other as referee Lonny Cunningham checks to see if all of them are ready.

"Which of these five has the CCW Females Championship in her future? The answer comes now!" Al says as Cunningham calls for the bell!

The crowd pops for the start of the main event; Emmy pursues Lisa Simpson and engages her in a Collar-and-Elbow Tie-Up, running into her and entering the hold. Lisa manages to swing around and push Emmy into the ropes while Arya goes back and forth with leg kicks to Aelita and Jenny. Arya Irish Whips Jenny into the ropes and then delivers a Drop Toe Hold. Lisa goes for a Knife Edge Chop to Emmy, but Emmy counters, performs a Standing Switch, and Chops Lisa in the corner instead. Arya tries to punch Aelita, but Aelita blocks it and fires with a punch of her own. Emmy stands on the second rope…and executes a Monkey Flip that sends Lisa Simpson across the ring! Emmy stands up and waits for Lisa to stand, running at her…only to eat a Calf Kick from Jenny Wakeman dead to the jaw!

"OH! Emmy gets up-ended!" Al exclaims.

"Told ya—first to go!" Cris gloats. "Hope that jaw's busted."

Emmy rolls out of the ring…and Lisa goes for a Clothesline to Jenny, but the Teenage Robot ducks it, hits the ropes herself and Clotheslines Lisa over the top rope and to the ring apron. Aelita grabs Arya Stark and hits a Snapmare before nailing her with a Soccer Kick right to the spine. Arya winces…and then Jenny grabs Aelita by the head, taking her down with a Snapmare and scoring with two Soccer Kicks to the back! Jenny takes a step to the side…and Lisa grabs her by the head, Snapmaring her and delivering three Soccer Kicks to the robot! Lisa taunts to the fans…and then Emmy Snapmares Lisa down, hitting FOUR Soccer Kicks to the back herself! The crowd cheers, and Emmy hits the ropes.

"Little bit of one-upmanship from everyone there! And EMMY Dropkicks Lisa!" Al calls as Emmy follows up her Dropkick with a pin onto Lisa Simpson: 1…

Jenny, Aelita, and Arya all break up the pin, attacking Emmy with clubbing blows to the back. They wear Emmy down as a threesome, and then Aelita and Jenny Double Irish Whip Emmy across the ring. Arya stands in front of Emmy, pops her up…and Aelita and Jenny both Dropkick Emmy out of the air!

"OH MY GOSH!" Al exclaims. "Arya, Aelita and Jenny triple up and Emmy gets FOUR FEET to the body! And that's what Emmy has to avoid—if she gets consistently double-teamed or triple-teamed like that, her chances of victory will dwindle even FURTHER than otherwise!"

Jenny and Aelita both stand up…and Jenny goes for a quick Schoolgirl roll-up on Aelita! The ref counts 1…2…Aelita kicks out! Arya grabs Emmy by the head and Head Slams her into the corner. Then Arya works over Emmy with repeated gut kicks. Aelita grabs Jenny in a Side Headlock and takes Wakeman down. Aelita holds the Teenage Robot down onto the mat…but Lisa Simpson cuts in with a Side Headlock of her own onto Aelita, holding HER down. Lisa wrenches down on the skull of the Lyoko Princess for ten seconds, hanging on…before Aelita and Jenny both struggle to vertical bases. Aelita lifts Lisa up for a Back Suplex…and Lisa lands behind Aelita and Jenny onto her feet. Then Jenny lifts Aelita up…

…and as Jenny drops Aelita with a Back Suplex, Lisa catches Aelita on the way down with a Neckbreaker!

"And there's MORE tandem offense!" Al says.

"Great awareness and athleticism from Lisa Simpson!" Cris praises.

Both Lisa and Jenny try pinning Aelita…and they bump into each other as a result. Lisa and Jenny trade punches on their knees…before Lisa grabs one of Jenny's metal pigtails and slams her down with a Facebuster! Lisa applies a Front Chancery, starts slowly standing up with Wakeman…clubbing Jenny in the spine along the way. Lisa Irish Whips Jenny into a corner and charges at her with a High Knee to the chest! Lisa turns around…and Arya's Irish Whip attempt is reversed by Emmy, sending Arya into Lisa into Jenny into the corner! All three of them end up stacked up in the corner, and Emmy catches her bearings, surveys the situation…

"We talked about Emmy getting attacked one-on-three…but right now, she's got an opening to go one-on-three in the OTHER direction!" says Al.

…and then executes a Cannonball Cross Body into a standing Arya Stark, bringing her down! Arya falls, Emmy gets another head of steam…and hits a second Cannonball Cross Body, this one into Lisa! Lisa drops, and Emmy runs for it a third time…

…and Emmy crashes into Jenny…but Jenny holds onto Emmy's body in the Cannonball, holding her in a Prawn Hold… walks a few steps forward…

…and Jenny-Oops Emmy face-first onto the second turnbuckle!

"AND EMMY'S MOMENTUM GETS DERAILED MASSIVELY!" Al shouts.

"WHAT A REVERSAL! WHAT A REVERSAL BY JENNY WAKEMAN!" Cris yells. "Emmy's face may be reduced to a Sloppy Joe when this is over!"

Jenny picks Emmy up off of the second turnbuckle, pulls her away and covers her: 1…

2…

…Aelita breaks up the pin! Aelita kicks Jenny in the chest and picks Jenny up off of the mat. Aelita scores with a Forearm Smash and then a Gutbuster across her own knee. Aelita walks over to Lisa thereafter…and Lisa pokes her in the eyes, opening up the daughter of Homer to execute a Vertical Suplex. Lisa hits the ropes, and scores a Knee Drop across the face before standing up and stomping away at the Lyoko Princess repeatedly. Lisa hits five…ten…fifteen…SEVENTEEN straight stomps before Baseball Slide Dropkicking Jenny underneath the ropes and to the arena floor. Lisa smirks, hits the ropes…

…and…Arya pulls the top rope down, forcing Lisa to fall to the floor!

"Gosh, you can't keep your eyes off of ANYONE in this match!" states Cris. "Everywhere you look, someone's trying to take your head off, and with the CCW Females Championship in the balance, why the hell wouldn't they?"

Arya stands up, runs at the downed Aelita herself…and Aelita drops down, then goes for a leapfrog, but Arya Stark stops short of Aelita's landing and Biel Throws her down and out of the squared circle. Aelita starts to stand up to her feet…and Arya readies herself inside the ring to some of the cheers of the crowd…

…and Stark hits the ropes…

…hitting a Topé Con Hilo onto Aelita!

"ARYAAAA…SOARING AND SCORING! Soaring and scoring is the youth of Winterfell!" Al shouts.

Arya quickly slides inside the ring, recovering from the Topé to the floor…and she sees Lisa Simpson on the outside. Arya hits the ropes…

…and Emmy Springboard Dropkicks Arya from an adjacent set of ropes, nailing Arya in the side of the face and sending her outside the ring!

"May be going for it AGAIIII—OHHHH! Emmy with the cutoff! The PBS Kid cuts Arya off at the pass!" Al calls.

"Good news—she saves Simpson! Bad news—SHE saves Simpson!" Cris complains.

Emmy hits the ropes herself…

"And now it's EMMY'S turn!" Al yells.

…and the six-year-old crashes onto Arya with a Corkscrew Plancha! The crowd explodes in awe and delight, though Emmy clutches her torso with tremendous urgency, feeling the whole impact of the dive herself…

…and then Jenny Wakeman hits the ropes and scores with a Shooting Star Plancha onto Emmy!

"This Highway Five-Way's already reaching highway-esque speeds!" Cris quips. "Arya flying, Emmy flying, there's JENNY flying!"

Jenny gets up, and Arya struggles to her feet…

…and they both get taken down by Lisa Simpson with a Triangle Plancha!

"Wait a minute—SIMPSON! Lisa Simpson as well!" Al shouts.

"The Destined One has HER say on the matter!" Cris says. "The freshest woman in the match watches everyone take each other out and then picks HER own spot and delivers!

"This Highway Five-Way Match is already in high gear, and it's going to continue through the commercial break—we'll be back with more action! Simpson, Emmy, Wakeman, Stark and Aelita battling it out!" Al proclaims as all five women are down and XX goes to break.

{Commercial Break}


Back from the commercial break, Emmy has Jenny set up for the Tumbling Dragon Rolling Dragon Suplex…but in mid-move, Jenny turns it into an Arm Drag!

"The Highway Five-Way finals of tonight XX 18 One-Night Tournament continues—OH, SPINNING HEEL KICK BY JENNY!" calls Al. "Emmy and Jenny only TWO of the participants…"

Jenny hits a Standing Moonsault as Al talks on!

"…in this match as Jenny covers EMMY—"

Arya Stark breaks up the subsequent pin with a Diving Headbutt to the back of Jenny's head!

"—OHHH! And there's ANOTHER one of the participants, Arya Stark!" Al completes. "The others are Lisa Simpson and Aelita!"

Arya watches Jenny rolls out of harm's way…before hitting the ropes and Leg Dropping Emmy hard. Arya picks Emmy up and Snap Suplexes her, floating over backwards to his feet…and Roundhouse Kicks the side of Emmy's skull HARD, the blow resonating throughout the building!

"Emmy may be CONCUSSED—did you HEAR that blow?! God…!" shouts Al.

"Music to the ears, Al! Music to the ears!" Cris replies.

Arya pulls Emmy up to her feet, puts her in a Standing Headscissors…and delivers a Bridging Powerbomb! Arya holds Emmy down for a pinning attempt: 1…

"Check…"

2…

"…and…"

…2.789 Aelita Scissor Kicks the back of Arya's head, breaking up the pin!

"…ma—OH, OF ALL THE PEOPLE…" Cris bickers.

"Aelita used that Scissors Kick on her way to beating Carmen Sandiego; there it is AGAIN on Arya Stark," says Al.

Aelita goes to the ring apron as Emmy is writhing in pain. Aelita picks her spot…

…and executes a Springboard Double Foot Stomp right to the clavicle of the Dragon Tales character! Aelita turns around and pins Emmy, hooking the near leg.

"Jenny went for a pin on Emmy…" Al notes as the ref counts 1…

"…as did Arya…"

2…

"…and now Aelita's doing the SAME…!"

…2.815 Lisa grabs Aelita, pulls her off of Emmy, and chucks her into the steel ring post!

"OH—but Aelita, like those before her, is interrupted!" Al calls.

"Yes!" Cris cheers.

Lisa grabs Emmy next herself…fakes an Irish Whip and scores with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker across the knee! Lisa covers Emmy, taking her turn: 1…

"Perfect! Check…"

2…

"…and…"

…2.8345 Jenny makes the save, Double Sledging Lisa's back!

"…mat—NOOOOT mate…thanks to Wakeman…" Cris crosses his arms.

"As we mentioned before, you can't get complacent in a match like this," Al remarks.

Jenny punches at Lisa three times to the top of the forehead…before attempting a Body Slam…only for Lisa to land behind Jenny and perform a German Suplex! Lisa stands up and Arya is up as well…but not for long as Arya eats a Simpson Clothesline! Lisa finds herself as the sole female standing, prompting her to nod and taunt the fans, raising both hands and mouthing, "This was destined to happen…" while retaining said grin.

"Indeed it was, Lisa—indeed it WAS destined to happen!" Cris agrees.

"Not sure about THAT declaration…but Lisa is certainly in full control right now," says Al.

Lisa grabs Aelita and places her onto the top rope before Chopping her right across the chest. Lisa climbs up to the top rope after Aelita, throwing two punches to the head while perched up there. Lisa adds a punch to the midsection as well before grabbing Aelita's arms…hooking them up…

…and hitting a Butterfly Superplex! Aelita falls hard onto her back and the Crown Jewel pins her: 1…

"Check…"

2…

"…and…"

…2.85 Aelita gets her shoulder up!

"…ma—awwwww, that would have been PERFECT! Lisa wins, Aelita's streak ends, Lisa WINS…" Cris bemoans what could have been.

Lisa rakes her boot across Aelita's face…and then moves over to Arya. Lisa Irish Whips her into the ropes…and goes for a Hip Toss…

…but Arya blocks it, counters with a knee to the gut…and places her leg on the back of Lisa's head. Arya flips over Lisa and lands lateral to her, grabbing her and delivering a Belly-to-Back Suplex! The crowd pops for this maneuver as Arya adds to her offense with a Back Kick to the gut and a Spinning Jawbreaker that backs Lisa up into a corner. Arya stands up, backing into the opposite corner confidently…

…and…

…Lisa blocks the Flying Needle with a Rope-Aided Big Boot to the face!

"OH! Arya goes FLYING out of the air as the Flying Needle CANNOT connect!" says Al.

Arya falls hard and Lisa goes to the top rope…

…and Arya gets a semi-vertical base, only to receive a Diving Bulldog!

"DIVING BULLDOG! Bart may be decent at it, but Lisa's got a way all to her own!" Cris declares proudly.

Lisa covers Arya: 1…

2…

…2.875 Arya gets her shoulder up, and just as she does, Lisa goes for a second pinning attempt that is immediately broken up by Jenny with a stomp. Jenny waits for Lisa to stand up…and the Teenage Robot hits the ropes…and delivers a Dropkick to Lisa's knee! Jenny hits the adjacent ropes and scores with a Kneelift to Lisa face…hitting the ropes once again, this time across the ring…

…and…Lisa catches her on the way with a Northern Lights Suplex! Lisa can't keep the bridge, but she manages to lateral press her way into a pinning combination!

"Jenny able to string together some moves—but THERE'S Simpson!" Al says.

"NICELY DONE!" Cris cheers.

The referee counts 1…

"Check…"

2…

"…and…"

…2.88 Jenny gets her shoulder up!

"…mat—NO! Jenny gets her shoulder up! And this is taking longer than I thought it would!" Cris says.

"Lisa's gotten FOUR near-falls, one for each girl," Al points out. "She's clearly in the driver's seat, and maybe she could be a move away from clinching it!"

"I agree, I agree!" Cris nods.

Lisa sees Jenny start to get up…and the yellow character applies an Inverted Facelock. She swings her leg backward…

"Thinking Yellow Card DDT…!" Al says.

…but Jenny spins out of the Inverted Facelock, grabs Lisa by the waist, and delivers a Stun Gun! Lisa recoils to the middle of the ring…and Jenny shakes a few cobwebs loose before waiting for Lisa to stand and delivering a Running Mat Slam—and running into a Mat Slam herself from Aelita! Aelita picks Jenny up shortly afterward, hooks up a Hammerlock…then hangs onto the Hammerlock while carrying Jenny in a Front Slam position…

…and Aelita delivers a Hammerlock Swinging Side Slam Backbreaker!

"WOW! What an innovative maneuver—I don't think I've seen Aelita use THAT before!" says Al.

"I could go WITHOUT seeing her use it ever again," Cris dryly adds.

"That was very well executed, Cris!" Al asserts.

"Therein lies the problem," Cris deadpans.

Aelita picks Lisa up for a Brainbuster…but Lisa lands on her feet, countering with a knee to the top of the head! Lisa lands on her feet, kicks Aelita in the gut and goes for the Silver Spoon DDT…but Aelita twists herself free, grabs Lisa in a Waist Lock, and delivers a German Suplex…before hanging onto the Destined One, standing up…and hitting a SECOND German Suplex! Aelita still hangs onto Lisa, keeping the German applied…

…and Aelita hurls Lisa into a corner with a German Suplex that knocks her back into the turnbuckles!

"THREE consecutive Germans, ANOTHER maneuver unseen from Aelita—shades of one Takashi Komuro; his variation's called the Three Alternate Deaths!" Al says. "And death number three was, naturally, the most painful!"

Aelita sets Lisa up to the top rope, a reversal of roles from earlier now. Aelita climbs to the top…

…and she puts Lisa in a Fireman's Carry. Lisa tries to scramble free with elbows and knees, but Aelita hangs onto Lisa on her shoulders. Suddenly, Jenny Wakeman gets back up and climbs to the middle rope, wrapping her arms around Aelita. Jenny makes like she is about to toss Aelita out of the corner…

…but before she can, Arya Stark rocks her with a Flying Needle to the back of the head!

"Jenny knows positions like this all too WELL FROM NEVERMORE…!" Al shouts as Arya's Dropkick connects, "BUT ARYA STARK HAD SOMETHING TO SAY FOR HERSELF FIRST!"

"She sure did—BANG!" winces Cris. "That hurt ME…"

Arya now takes Jenny's place, grabbing Aelita by the waist for her own German Suplex. Arya starts leaning back…

…but then Emmy comes in, grabs Arya in an Elevated Prawn Hold…and the crowd gasps…

…and then bursts into cheers as Emmy Powerbombs Arya, who German Suplexes Aelita, who Samoan Drops Lisa, completing the Tower of Doom!

"Wait a sec—Emmy! EMMY!" Al exclaims. "AND THEY ALL FALL LIKE JENGA PIECES TO THE CANVAS! WHAT A THUNDEROUS TOWER OF DOOM!"

"Lisa Simpson, unfortunately, took the brunt of it, but EVERYBODY involved has to be spent from that!" Cris comments.

"Who's going to rise FIRST? Emmy's had some time to recoup out of this match in the background…" Al says.

Slowly Emmy starts to get to his feet. Jenny Wakeman, aching from the Flying Needle, does likewise. The two girls start trading punches, the crowd watching with bated breath as both six-year-old girl and sixteen-year-old robot go shot for shot. Soon Emmy starts rallying with punches to Jenny's head, even as blood starts to trickle from her own, the bandages of Nevermore completely soaked. Emmy hits the ropes…

…and runs into an Inverted Atomic Drop from Jenny! Some fans cheer and some boo; Jenny hits the ropes…

…and runs into her OWN Inverted Atomic Drop! Now Emmy hits the ropes…

…and Jenny does the same…

….and Jenny fires with a Clothesline that Emmy forward rolls underneath to dodge; Jenny turns around and Emmy clobbers her with a Pelé Kick!

"PELÉ KICK! ODE TO MIGUELITO!" Al yells.

Emmy gets back up and sees Aelita charging at her. Emmy leaps up and catches her in a Frankensteiner, hooking both legs thereafter and Rana Pinning her! The ref counts 1…

2…

"COULD EMMY BE THE—noooo, the streak remains intact as Aelita kicks out!" Al commentates.

Emmy staggers into a corner…and Jenny starts to stand herself. Emmy jumps off of the middle rope in the corner…

…and delivers a Corner Springboard Cross Body Block! Emmy holds her ribs again, feeling every bit of the impact as much as her foe did; Arya gets up and Emmy tries an Irish Whip…but Arya reverses it. Arya goes for a Dropkick to knock Emmy down…but Emmy latches onto the ring ropes! Arya bumps onto her back, and Emmy grabs Arya by the legs. Emmy pauses…slowly tips over…

…and Catapults her clean over the top rope and out of the ring!

"A second wind perhaps for the optimist!" says Al.

"I'm NOT watching this—I'm NOT watching this!" Cris growls. "Lisa, stop her!"

Lisa runs at Emmy…

…and gets kicked in the gut, followed by a Cassie Driver!

"CASSIE DRIVER CONNECTS!" says Al.

"NO!" Cris bangs the desk.

Emmy hands onto Lisa for the pin: 1…

"EMMY'S GOING TO…"

2…

"…FINALLY GET HER…"

…2.89 Lisa kicks out!

"…TITLE MA—NO, SHE ISN'T! Not if Lisa can prevent such a thing, and she just did!" Al comments.

Emmy stands up, checks the count with the referee…sighs, and measures Simpson. The six-year-old waits for Lisa to turn to face her…

…hooks the head in a Front Facelock…

"Time for things to get Definite!" Al quips.

…and jumps…only to get pushed off at the last second! Emmy lands onto her feet and runs at Lisa—only to get ensnared in a Sleeper Hold!

"SLEEPER! SLEEPER!" Al shouts.

"THIS IS THE WORST HOLD YOU WANT TO BE IN IF YOU'RE EMMY! LISA'S GOT IT LOCKED IN! SLEEPER HOLD—BALLGAME! BALLGAME, BABY!" Cris yells.

"Emmy may fall out of consciousness if she can't escape this! And the ropes are of little assistance per the Five-Way rules!" Al reminds.

Lisa keeps a tight grip on the Sleeper Hold on Emmy, trying to obtain the night's second submission victory, yelling at the top of her lungs as she incapacitates the Pioneer of XX!

"We may not have a Wrestling Goddess as our Females Champion in time, but a Crown Jewel of a Champion sounds epic to me!" Cris smiles.

Lisa maintains the pressure on the Sleeper, Emmy's arms slowly and slowly getting limper. The fans chant "EMMY! EMMY! EMMY!" to try and will the three-time FWA-winning talent to fight out of the predicament. Emmy tries to elbow out of it weakly…but all she can manage to do is back Lisa up to the ropes while Lisa keeps the Sleeper cinched in. Lisa tightens her grip even more, hoping for Emmy to tap out…

"There can't be anything left, you would think!" Al says.

"Exactly! Check her arms, ref! I think she may be knocked out! Give it to Lisa already!" Cris states…

…but Jenny Wakeman runs the ropes and hits an XJ9 to Lisa's exposed back by the ropes, forcing Lisa to let go of Emmy and lose her grip!

"If Emmy subm—JENNY! OH MY GOSH, XJ9 BY JENNY! Where did THAT come from?!" Al is stunned, as is the crowd!

"I don't know, but I'd like to know so I can curse that place to hell—Lisa HAD it!" Cris complains.

"But what that does, Cris, is that it keeps the match going, which Jenny NEEDED to do—it's one fall to a finish!" Al says.

"I know, I know…" Cris drearily says.

Emmy tumbles out of Lisa's clutches and to the mat while Lisa has her back turned to Jenny, who is on the apron…

…and…Jenny delivers a Springboard Inverted Frankensteiner to Lisa!

"OH, RIGHT ON HER HEAD! Like an Inverted West Coast Pop á la Rey Mysterio, Jr.!" Al says.

As soon as Jenny stands up, Aelita runs to the ropes, lands on the middle rope and delivers a Springboard Clothesline!

"AELITA—SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE! Action everywhere!" Al exclaims.

Jenny falls to the mat and Aelita tries to pin the Teenage Robot: 1…

"Come oooon…"

2…

"SOMEONE break it up, please!"

…2.895 Jenny kicks out!

"OR Jenny can just kick out—I'm okay with that too…" Cris remarks. "As long as Aelita's not winning…"

"I STILL have yet to know what you have against Aelita…" Al mumbles.

Aelita begins to stand…

…and Arya, back in the ring, slides in with a Schoolgirl Pin!

"WAITWAITWAIT—SCHOOLGIRL! ARYA!" Al exclaims.

The ref counts 1…

2…

…2.899 Lisa Simpson performs a Sunset Flip onto Arya, breaking up Arya's grip on Aelita and holding her down for the pin herself!

"YEAH! LISA WITH THE PIN NOW! BRILLIANT!" Cris shouts.

"Now it's SIMPSON!" Al yells.

The ref counts 1…

2…

…Arya manages to kick out! Both she and Lisa stand up…and Aelita hits them both with a Double Complete Shot! Aelita stands…and Jenny hits her with a Russian Leg Sweep, leaving her standing tall!

"Just when one of these ladies thinks she has it, someone else swoops in!" Al says. "Jenny Wakeman now… She's pointing to the top rope and I think she's looking to bring some finality to this one…"

"And Aelita's the one with the target from the Teenage Robot—look at the positioning!" says Cris.

Jenny Wakeman goes to the top turnbuckle, Aelita lying supine on the canvas and the Teenage Robot ready to punch her ticket to Pandemonium. Jenny postures up…

…and she goes for a 450 Splash…

…but Emmy, from the apron, pulls Aelita out of the way, causing Jenny to crash and burn!

"NOBODY HOME THANKS TO EMMY!" Al shouts. "EMMY PRESERVES AELITA FROM JENNY'S 450!"

Jenny comes up clutching her own midsection…

…and Emmy gets in, stands up…

…and Emmy hits Jenny with the Z.O.Z.!

"Z.O.Z.!" Al exclaims. "EMMY COULD BE A DEFINITELY-DT AWAY FROM BECOMING #1 CONTENDER!"

"NONONONONONONONO! JENNY, ANYONE BUT AELITA, LOOK ALIVE!" Cris pleads.

Emmy hooks Jenny up in a Front Facelock…

…and…before she can jump up, Lisa Simpson grabs Emmy for an Inverted Facelock!

"UH-OH!" Al gasps.

"This just got GOOD!" Cris sings.

But suddenly, Arya Stark hits Lisa Simpson with an Arry Strike, causing Lisa to fall back and Inverted DDT Emmy, who falls back herself and DDTs Jenny Wakeman!

"ARYA! ARRY STRIKE!" Al calls. "AND THE ARRY STRIKE CAUSES ONE HELL OF A CHAIN REACTION!"

"THIS IS AWESOME! (clap clap clap-clap-clap) THIS IS AWESOME! (clap clap clap-clap-clap) THIS IS AWESOME! (clap clap clap-clap-clap)" the crowd shows its appreciation for the Highway Five-Way action in the match as the Stark Sister starts to get to her feet. All of the other members of the match are weakened; Aelita is in the corner pulling herself together already. Arya watches the scene in front of her…and starts to set everybody else up…Irish Whipping Lisa…then Emmy…then Jenny into the vacant three corners of the ring, standing in the middle and panting heavily. Arya stamps her foot twice…

…and hits a Flying Needle to Aelita!

"YEEEEES!" Cris applauds for this.

Then Arya hits one on Jenny!

"OHHHHHHHH!" Cris winces at this.

Then Arya gives Emmy a Flying Needle!

"YEEEEEESSSSSSS!" Cris cheers louder for this.

Then Arya hits Lisa with a fourth Flying Needle!

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Cris groans at this.

"FOUR FLYING NEEDLES, FOUR BALLISTIC KICKS!" Al exclaims.

Arya hooks Lisa's head…steps up off of the second turnbuckle…

"And this is how she beat Mileena…"

…and Arya hits a DDT…then turns it into a Guillotine!

"EDDARD'S GUILLOTINE!" shouts Al. "EDDARD'S GUILLOTINE LOCKED IN! IF LISA SUBMITS, ARYA GETS THE TITLE SHOT!"

"LISA'S GOT TO FIND A WAY TO ESCAPE THIS, SOMEHOW!" Cris yells.

The crowd chants, "ARYA! ARYA! ARYA! ARYA!" as the young Stark tightens the hold further and further.

"THIS CROWD'S BEHIND ARYA! THEY WANT TO SEE LISA TAP—HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!" Al screams…

…as Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup raid the ring and attack Arya, breaking up Eddard's Guillotine!

"THE POWERPUFF GIRLS! THE PPG! WHAT ARE THEY OUT HERE FOR?!" Al shouts.

"WHY DO YOU THINK?! THE STARK SISTERS ATTACKED BUBBLES AND BUTTERCUP BEFORE; NOW THEY'RE RETURNING IN KIND!" Cris shouts back over the crowd's boos. "Arya, you did good, but you and your sister should have NEVER made enemies with the Powerpuff Girls! THAT was a massive mistake! And it looks like YOU'RE paying the price!"

Arya starts to groggily stand up, holding her ribs and her head…

…and Bubbles and Buttercup combine to nail a Capo Kick and a Spear simultaneously!

"And Arya is getting picked apart!" says Al. "Just as this match was reaching a level so great—DAMN IT!"

"Turnabout's fair!" Cris shrugs.

Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup all signal for their Triple Powerbomb, now dubbed the Ultrabomb. They get into position…Blossom and Bubbles about to lift Arya onto Buttercup's shoulders…

…but in runs Sansa Stark to hammer at the PPG!

"SANSA RUNNING DOWN TO HELP HER SISTER!" Al exclaims.

Sansa hits a Polish Hammer to the chest of Bubbles, then one to Blossom, then one to Buttercup, trying to set things straight. Sansa hits a Body Slam to Blossom, and then another Polish Hammer to Buttercup. Sansa grabs Blossom by the arm, twists it and goes for the Lady Slayer…but Bubbles grabs Sansa's arm before she can deliver the maneuver. Bubbles hooks the arm and has Sansa set up for the Bubblevicious…

"But the numbers game! It gets you every time—just ask Techno-Tongue from Nevermore!" Cris says.

…but then…Skarlet and Mileena hit a Double Chop Block to Bubbles in mid-lift!

"WHAT?! KOLDBLOOD?!" Al is surprised, but the crowd cheers!

"WHAT ARE THOSE TWO MISFITS DOING OUT HERE?!" Cris questions, none too happy to see them.

Buttercup and Blossom, also caught off guard, are assaulted with strikes by Mileena and Skarlet, who punch them each into corners and climb onto the middle ropes in both corners, delivering ten brutal punches to the tops of their heads. Sansa, freed from the grip of Bubbles, stands still and watches Koldblood attacking Bubbles and Blossom, also genuinely surprised by it all. Bubbles regains her footing…and runs at Bubbles, who is Backdropped to the apron…

…and then Lannister Kicked off of said apron by Sansa, knocking Bubbles off of her feet to the arena floor!

"And the Lannister Kick takes Bubbles out!" says Al.

Mileena grabs Buttercup in a Fireman's Carry out of the corner…walks over to the ropes…and delivers a Fireman's Carry Takeover over the top rope and to the floor! Skarlet grabs Blossom and throws her out as well before going to the outside and continuing her onslaught, forcing the PPG to retreat to the back! Mileena looks at Arya, who is on her knees observing this…and gives her a thumbs-up before following Skarlet to force the PPG to backpedal.

"Koldblood…just HELPED the Starks eradicate the Powerpuff Girls!" Al says. "Mileena and Skarlet sticking up for Psymon's so-claimed 'cousins'!"

"They AREN'T his cousins! They aren't RELATED to him whatsoever!" Cris shouts.

"Well, they sure defended Arya like family!" Al states.

Sansa looks at Arya…both of the Starks sharing the same look of bewilderment…but then Sansa points at a groggy Emmy next to Arya, reminding her younger sister of the match still in progress. Sansa leaves the ring and heads to the back herself…

…while Arya turns to Emmy as the latter is on her knees. Arya hits one…two…three shoot kicks…and then…

…Arya grabs the bandage off of Emmy's skull and pulls it off of her, revealing her bleeding wound and forehead!

"Back to the match, Sansa reminds Arya…and Arya is most CERTAINLY back in the match…" Al says.

"And Emmy's about one hard kick away from being OUT of this match!" Cris states.

Arya points to the open wound…

…then sidesteps…

…then…goes for the Superkick, but Emmy catches it! Emmy hangs onto Arya's leg…

…then Emmy spins Arya around…

…only for Arya to try a Dragon Whip that Emmy is ALSO able to dodge! Emmy gets up…

…and fires a Superkick of her OWN at Arya, blasting her jaw and knocking Arya onto the middle rope!

"ARYA WANTED A SUPERKICK, AND SHE GOT ONE—STRAIGHT TO HER OWN JAW! EMMY STILL FIGHTING, AND SHE'S GOT ARYA STARK SET UP…"

From here, Emmy grabs the top rope…Slingshots…and Drops a Leg onto the back of Arya's head!

"…FOR THE LEG DROP ON THE ROPES! COULD IT BE?! IS IT POSSIBLE AFTER EVERYTHING?!" Al asks.

Emmy starts climbing to the top rope, Arya in prime position for Emmy's top-rope maneuver of her choosing. The Dragon Girl is slow to get to the top rope, the affects of everything showing now more than ever…

…but she finally makes it…

…and…she suddenly gets her leg grabbed by a brunette in a blue dress and saddle shoes from the apron!

"What the… WHAT THE HELL?!" Al blinks twice as the crowd starts booing this inopportune interference.

"WHO'S THAT?! WAIT…is that….?!" Cris rubs his eyes.

The interfering female keeps a hold of Emmy's leg…but Emmy shakes her leg away, shaking the other girl backward…

…but a pale, brown-haired 18-year-old cracks Emmy in the now-exposed back of the head with a steel chair!

"OHHHHHHHHH! THE CHAIR—THE SKULL! THE CHAIR—THE SKULL! EMMY… THAT WAS WHERE EMMY WAS HURTING THE MOST, TOO! WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE HERSELF?!" Al hollers as the crowd, recognizing both women now, are livid!

Emmy becomes limp on the top turnbuckle as the two intruding forces both grab a hold of Emmy, redirecting her from the ring…

…to the outside.

"Wait a minute… I KNOW THEM… I KNOW them…!" Cris says…as he begins to beam brightly.

"I DO TOO, BUT EMMY DOESN'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE ABOUT TO SEND HER!" Al shouts.

Cris's smile only grows wider, and the fans' reception only gets darker…

…as Lucy van Pelt and Bella Swan throw Emmy from the top rope all the way through Jonathan and Jeremy's vacated announce table!

"JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! EMMY'S SPLIT IN HALF AND THE DAMN TABLE WITH HER!" Al shrieks.

"BELLA SWAN AND LUCY VAN PELT! THAT'S WHO THEY ARE! THEY JUST SENT EMMY FROM THE CORNER TO THE TABLE, WHICH, EVEN IN THE TWINS' ABSENCE, IS STILL AS FRAGILE AS EVER!" Cris yells.

Lucy and Bella observe their handiwork as Emmy is seemingly dead as a doornail on the floor in the broken announce table waste. Some of the crowd chants, "HOLY SH**! HOLY SH**! HOLY SH**!" while others are chanting "BELLA SUCKS!" and "LUCY SUCKS!"

"This crowd in a catharsis right now—wait, back in the ring!" Al says…

…as Lisa Simpson dives off of the top rope and delivers a Frog Splash onto Arya Stark! Lisa hooks a leg: 1…

"FROG SPLASH! THE DESTINY FULFILLED!"

2…

"CHECKMATE! CHECKMATE!"

…2.95 Jenny and Aelita both make the save!

"CHECKMAAA—NOOOOOOO!" Cris groans. "Lisa got—w-wait! WAAAAIT!" Cris points to the Ellis Twins' table once again, this time in a giddy tone…

…as Zoe Payne drills Emmy with a TAN!

"PAYNE! PAYNE! ZOE PAYNE! TAN BY ZOE PAYNE!" Cris calls happily.

"ZOE PAYNE WITH AN ADDED TOUCH TO EVERYTHING EMMY WAS PUT THROUGH!" Al shouts. "COMING FROM THE CROWD, I CAN ONLY PRESUME, AND—what the…?"

Zoe makes eye contact with Lucy van Pelt and Bella Swan…

…and she nods to both of them before looking down at Emmy again…and stepping over her, walking to the barricade and hopping over from whence she came…Lucy and Bella Swan following suit themselves.

"Wait…Zoe…WITH THEM…?" Al says.

"Zoe Payne… I think that Zoe Payne just brought some friends! And they're not just ANY friends; they're enemies of an enemy! They've made THAT abundantly clear!" Cris says.

"And if anyone believed that CCW Nevermore was a settling point between these two women, you have another guess coming," Al says. "And we still have a match inside the ring! Who's going to win? I don't know, but looking at Emmy right next to us…I think I know who ISN'T going to win…"

Jenny runs at Aelita…and Aelita hits her with the Return to the Past! Aelita rushes to the corner closest to her, ascends to the top rope with the crowd incredibly hot in the building…the end possibly near…

…and…Aelita's Aelitasault is avoided! Jenny rolls out of the way, but Aelita is able to land onto her feet…

…right in front of Lisa, who delivers a Jumping Bulldog! Lisa stands again, grabs Jenny, and drills her with the Silver Spoon DDT!

"SILVER SPOON DDT! LISA SIMPSON, POSSIBLY A THREE-COUNT AWAY…!" Al calls.

Lisa pins Jenny: 1…

"CHECK…"

2…

"…AND…"

…2.975 Jenny gets her shoulder up!

"…MAT—AAAAAUUUGHHHH!" Cris screams. "THAT WAS TOO CLOSE! COME ON—YOU CAN'T GET MUCH CLOSER!"

"JENNY keeps the match going!" Al says.

Lisa takes a deep breath…exhales…

…and puts Jenny in an Argentine Clutch.

"Hey, this is the position Lisa put Sonia in, Jenny's tag team partner…" notes Al.

"Looking to finish the better half of Techno-Tongue in the SAME WAY…" Cris says.

Lisa tries to flip Jenny down onto her face…

…but before she can pull it off, Arya suddenly leaps onto Lisa with a Guillotine Choke!

"WHOAWHOAWHOA—GUILLOTINE IN AGAIN!" exclaims Al. "THE GUILLOTINE IS IN AGAIN! ARYA STARK'S PUT IT ON LISA BEFORE; HERE IT IS AGAIN!"

"LISA WAS ABOUT TO WIN! ARYA JUST—GAH! I'm not happy…" Cris folds his arms.

"BUT THESE FANS MAY BE IF LISA SUBMITS!" says Al.

While some of the crowd chants "TAP! TAP! TAP!" others are encouraging Jenny or Aelita to get back up to their feet to possibly break the submission up. Arya screams at the top of her lungs while cinching the hold in to its tightest potential…about to force Lisa Simpson onto her knees…

…but before she can, Jenny Wakeman hits a Springboard Enzuigiri to Arya's face that sends her onto the middle rope!

"OHHHHH! AND JENNY HAD TO DO THAT! SHE HAD TO BREAK UP THE SUBMISSION!" Al says.

"AND LOOK WHERE ARYA LANDED!" Cris points out.

Lisa holds her head and neck, coughing from the Guillotine…

…and then Jenny Dropkicks Lisa in the back, sending her onto the middle rope as well! The crowd pops big time for the potential Double XJ9—one for Arya and one for Lisa! Jenny prepares herself…

…hits the ropes…

…and hits the XJ9…to Lisa, but not Arya!

"XJ9—ARYA GOT OUT OF THE WAY! LISA COULD NOT!" says Al.

As Lisa stumbles back, Arya hits Jenny with a Rope-Aided High Kick that ALMOST knocks Jenny to the ringside floor! Instead, Jenny hangs onto the top rope with one hand while Arya seethes in front of her. Arya grabs Jenny's ringing skull…places it underneath her arm…and tries an Outside-In Brainbuster onto the Teenage Robot.

Meanwhile, behind them both, Aelita is standing up, as is Lisa…and Aelita delivers the Eye of XANA!

"Jenny and Arya fighting near the ropes—THERE'S the Eye of XANA from Aelita onto Lisa…!" shouts Al.

Arya keeps trying for the Outside-In Brainbuster…

…but Jenny blocks it, lands on her feet, turns the Suplex into a Cravate on the apron, hits a Knee to the head…

…leaps…

…and hits a Gear Grinder from the apron back inside the ring!

"WOW! DID YOU SEE THAT?! WHAT A GEAR GRINDER!" Al exclaims in awe as the fans pop for the move as well!

No sooner should that happen than Aelita scissor Lisa's arm in, hook her up…and drop her with an Aelita DDT!

"NO—NOT THE AELITA DDT!" Cris groans in agony.

Jenny goes for the pin on Arya, hooking both legs…

…while Aelita pins Lisa, hooking a single leg! The referee sees both pin attempts occur…and he starts counting: 1…

"JENNY'S GOT THE—WAIT! AELITA'S GOT A PIN!"

2…

"HANG ON, HANG ON!"

…3!

"THREE! Wait…THREE…? Aelita and Jenny both though—they had…" Al goes from excitement over the match being over…to confusion over who the winner is.

After a five-second delay, the bell is rung…and no official ruling is made yet. No music plays, Blader DJ does not speak…but Aelita and Jenny, who both believe they've won—raise their hands in celebration…and then realize that they're both raising hands. Aelita looks at Jenny confused, as if to say, "I won this…" Jenny returns the same look to Aelita…and then she asks the referee, who at first grabs Aelita's hand…

…then Jenny's hand…

…and…lets go of both of them, unsure what to decide!

"So…who won?" Cris asks.

"There were two pinfall decisions—one from Aelita and one from Jenny Wakeman…so whichever fall STARTED first ENDED first…and THAT'S a dead heat to determine as well!" Al says.

"So what do we do?!" Cris queries.

Both the Teenage Robot and Lyoko Princess argue their cases to the referee Lonny Cunningham, who is at a total loss. CCW Executive Manager Zero Kazama eventually walks down to the ring to confront the referee and the wrestlers, talking things over.

"That's Zero Kazama—he may hopefully shed SOMETHING on this… I don't know what…?" Al scratches his head. "Has this EVER happened before?"

"Not here that I know of," Cris shrugs. "But this is about the Females Championship and #1 Contention—you HAVE to get this call right! But who do you give it to? Aelita or Jenny? If I got to choose, I'd say Jenny…"

"Well, the Commissioner would love to have a say in this…but he's got BIGGER fish to fry and one particular fish to FIRE—that's supposed to happen right after this match…for which we have NO result yet, despite the amazing action we got to see here…" Al says.

Zero Kazama pulls the referee over out of the ring and talks with him up the entrance ramp. He then turns to Jenny and Aelita and says, "We'll discuss it backstage. Right now, Gordon has a job to do out here. We must go."

Jenny and Aelita look at each other…and then at the Executive Manager…both exiting the ring at the same time, exchanging glances as though they are trying to convince the other individual of the winner.

"Hopefully we can get some answers…but I understand that we have to go to our LAST commercial break right now—after that, we'll be back!" says Al Michaels.

{Commercial Break}


Next week…

Aran looks at his Universal Championship Belt, takes it into his right hand, and raises it over his head, drawing multiple jeers and boos. "I'm the CCW Universal Champion, fella…"

"Aran…make no mistake…I am GETTING my rematch…and I am GETTING my Universal Championship back… I am taking it away from YOU…" Dan Kuso asserts.

""You, young man, are not entitled to a rematch for the CCW Universal Championship. There is NOTHING and NO ONE changing that. …YOU WILL ALL HAIL CAESAR!" Julius Caesar shouts.

"I think it's about time I stopped looking like a wrestler on his way to the next level…and started looking like a wrestler who's ALREADY on the next level and is one pinfall away from becoming Champion!" Sportacus says.

Disco points to Sportacus and Caesar. "You both had your shots in the Gauntlet and lost, but I never got that liberty! And you, Dan Kuso, as we alllllll know, ain't getting a rematch with Aran, so that just leaves yours truly, DISCO KID!"

"Dan…there IS one thing I'd like more than watching you beat Aran Ryan…and that's beating Aran Ryan MYSELF," Shun says.

Caesar…

Sportacus…

Disco Kid…

Shun Kazami…

The former Universal Champion Dan Kuso…

Five men…vying for an opportunity for the CCW Universal Championship of Aran Ryan!

"It'll be one fall to a finish next week on Ozone between the five of you, and the winner faces Aran Ryan in his first Universal Title defense at Pandemonium!" Gordon states.

It's a Highway Five-Way Match for #1 Contention, and it's LIVE next week on CCW Ozone 38 at 9/8c only on ABC!
