Tag Premier League Group A Match – Techno-Tongue vs. The Poké-Coordinators

Group A action was about to kick off for the Tag Premier League, and it was about to kick off in a high-profile way, with former Women's Tag Team Champions and 2013 FWA-winners Techno-Tongue wrestling 2014 Female Tag Team of the Year the Poké-Coordinators…and motivations for this match could not have been higher given both teams' temperaments and situations. For May and Dawn, they were days removed from WCW Fallout and the "Coast City Screwjob" that saw them gracelessly released from WWE and Title-less in their bid for the first-ever Toon Women's Tag Team Titles. Tonight was about shoving that as FAR into their rear-view as possible, showing what the WWE—particularly Vince McMahon—decided to mess with and lose out on, showing the kind of tag team and wrestlers they truly were and WHY they were FWA-decorated. It was all business for them…and it was business for the Teenage Robot and tongued warrior also…although with the events of backstage between the two of them before the commercial break, things were unsettling between the two of them even as they came out together to "Give Me Everything You've Got" by Blue Stahli for the first time in a number of weeks. To Jenny, this was a way to put the team's dissention behind them both and reaffirm that they were, in actuality, as cohesive and effective as ever, and ready to reclaim tag team prominence from the Powerpuff Girls who took it from them. Mystique Sonia, meanwhile, was out to put the FWAs and her dealings with Aelita behind HER in any way she could…even if it had to be in a tournament she never herself expressed interest in being in. Jenny did this for their friendship, as she said before…and Sonia looked willing enough to embark on this with Wakeman…right?

Techno-Tongue and the Poké-Coordinators met in the ring, sizing each other up…as Jenny exchanges the Code of Honor with May and Dawn…

…and Sonia…after some seemingly deep thought, does likewise before expressing to Jenny that she herself is going to start the match out first, motioning for the robot to get to the apron. Jenny…shrugs, about to oblige…

…

…but then "All About Us" by t.A.T.u. plays, eliciting a SWARM of boos in Auburn Hills as the Powerpuff Girls come out with their Women's Tag Team Championships around Bubbles and Buttercup's waists, and a microphone in Blossom's hand. After the crowd quiets down a tad…Blossom speaks, saying…that the first intention of the Powerpuffs in coming out there to the ring was to bring to light a list of reasons why the Poké-Coordinators as Women's Tag Team of the Year instead of the greatest heroines of all time was a total load of garbage the likes of which the FWAs have never seen (adding that the credibility of the Awards continues to dip day by day…)…but then she and her sisters watched Fallout…and it made them a little more introspective, because as CCW's female tag team saviors, at the end of the day, they have a responsibility. "That responsibility is to our company; just like we are loyal to Townsville, we are loyal to this place and we always, always will be," Blossom says. "And we know as well as you do that what happened at Fallout to you two, May and Dawn, was by design because of this company and your presence here in it. And because of that, FWAs aside…we didn't laugh at your expense; we didn't revel in your misery—no, we were JUST as upset as YOU were, because as the guardians of CCW's pulpits, we couldn't have any other emotion." Blossom motions to Buttercup's half of the Women's Tag Belts and says, "At Pride & Glory, we settle something with Sailor Mars…but at Pride & Glory, we ALSO defend THESE…and these Belts ARE CCW. So when we BEAT our opponents in Steelport, leave them lying and show them what the best collection of tag team wrestlers is all about…part of that beating is going to be for YOU. It's going to be in YOUR honor. So, we are NOT going to ridicule; we are NOT going to make a scene about the FWAs. In fact, we're going to make the Fiction Wrestling Awards water under the bridge, because there are BIGGER THINGS to handle, and BIGGER MESSAGES to send. We're not here to put you down; in fact, we want to SUPPORT you…we want to support THIS MATCH…because while the TOON Women's Tag Team Championship will now ALWAYS be scarred by how they were first bestowed at your expense…THESE Tag Team Championships have a value that we will NOT allow to be tarnished. And this Tag Premier League is a demonstration of what value these Belts hold not just to us, but to EVERY tag team we face. So Bubbles, Buttercup and I are going to have seats at ringside now to watch this tag team contest involving three FWA winners…and Sonia…"

THAT earns a raised eyebrow and a glare…

"…and all we can say to you, May and Dawn…is keep in mind who's going to be watching: the people who wronged you…and the people who are going to avenge that wrong." Blossom finishes, as Bubbles and Buttercup hold up their Tag Team Titles while Bubbles waves to May and Dawn, wishing them luck. Jenny, none too fond of the PPG (and not forgetful either, evidently), shoots a glare at the three of them as they station themselves at Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth's table, collecting headsets to adorn themselves with to join them on commentary.

Cris quips, "Let's hope you're more insightful on guest commentary than Yumi was…" which earns a giggle from Bubbles.

"We'll do our best, Cris… In other words, yes, we WILL be better than Yumi was," Buttercup says.

With that having transpired, the match begins, Mystique Sonia and May the legal women to start. A pair of Collar-and-Elbow Tie-Ups end up with the two of them jockeying for position against the ropes until they find themselves in a corner…and the referee Jim Kawaguchi requests a clean break from the two of them. The first time, he gets one out of May…but the second time, Sonia Irish Whips May suddenly across into the opposite turnbuckle, charging in and running into an elbow from May; now May and Sonia trade Head Slam tries into the top turnbuckle…neither of them able to connect as both girls use their feet on the middle turnbuckle to block it. Sonia manages an Up-Kick to May's face and vaults up the corner…

…but her Corner Springboard Cross Body gets countered in mid-air into a One-Handed Bulldog by May! Sonia rolls to the ropes in agony and May rocks her with a flurry of kicks to the clavicle…before tagging in Dawn and doubling up with her for a Running Front Dropkick combined with Dawn's Soccer Kick from the apron. Sonia tries to get up…but a Dawn Slingshot Neck Snap puts her right back down hard! The impressive maneuver from the Blue Beauty gets applause (and even a soft "That was kinda nice" from Buttercup on commentary), but only a quick two-count. Dawn drives Sonia down with a Snap Swinging Neckbreaker, strung neatly with a Vertical Suplex as well! Sonia gets up in pain, cringing…as Dawn Dropkicks her in the back into the Poké-Coordinators corner, where Dawn eventually tags in May…picks Sonia up by her legs and holds her above the canvas…

…while May delivers a Slingshot Hip Drop into Sonia's spine!

"Shades of Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas's Broken Arrow—kind of a variant to it there!" Jonathan notes.

The Pokémon competitors add to the offense with a Double Back Suplex to Sonia…off of which May only gets a near-fall again. Jenny starts to get a little anxious, wanting to tag in, but Sonia is warded off by May's attacks…

…

…until an Irish Whip from corner to corner is reversed, with Sonia twisting May's arm and countering with a Short-Arm Pop-Up Buckle Bomb! Sonia drops to a knee after that move, wincing and trying to catch her bearings…while Jenny is motioning for a tag on the apron…

…but Sonia, ignoring that, just picks May back up and gives her a Buckle Bomb for the second time, causing HER to be the one to wince…and walk into a Northern Lights Suplex by the Heroine 108! Sonia takes control now of the match with a Front Suplex…followed by a Butterfly Backbreaker. Sonia covers May: 1…2…2.76 May gets a shoulder up, and Jenny is STILL gesturing for if Sonia wants to tag her in. Sonia continues to do things herself, applying a Straitjacket Surfboard Stretch onto a seated Princess of Hoenn. Blossom on commentary mentions how much the PPG STILL cannot stand Techno-Tongue—especially Jenny—but still notes how odd things appear between them with Jenny wanting the tag and Sonia not obliging her. Buttercup mentions how things changed between them ever since Nevermore, which was when the Mayhem Match between the PPG and Techno-Tongue happened…as though she were insinuating something…

…

May lifts her feet up and manages to turn Sonia's Straitjacket Surfboard submission into a Victory Roll Pin! May sneakily holds Sonia down…for 2, before Sonia goes back on the offense with a Sweep followed by a hard Forearm Drop to the face. Then Sonia picks May up…Scoop Slams her against the ring ropes, recoiling her a good deal…and then hitting the ropes and delivering a Katsuyori Shibata-like Shoot Kick to the chest! Sonia pulls May off of the canvas…performs a Russian Leg Sweep and rolls backwards into an Oklahoma Roll pinning attempt! Sonia pins May: 1…

2…

…

…2.825 May kicks out…and Sonia picks May up with her, maintaining a hold and hurling May directly into the steel ring post in Techno-Tongue's corner! Sonia pursues May, and stands directly in front of Jenny…who asks Sonia once again if she can get a tag…

…

…and…Sonia just grabs May, pulls her back, and delivers an X-Plex! Sonia rises, holding onto May's body and arms, spinning her out into a Wrist Lock and then pulling her into a Short-Arm Sit-Down Hip Toss! Sonia transitions this maneuver into an Inverted Triangle Choke submission, keeping the near arm clenched as she applies the pressure on the hold. Dawn reaches out towards May while shouting encouragement to her, while the Powerpuff Girls look on…

…

…and see May turning around in the Inverted Triangle Choke…thus turning it into the Triangle Choke for Sonia, who maintains a grip…

…

…but next, May flips into a Jackknife Pin, holding Sonia's shoulders down! The referee counts 1…

2…

…

…Sonia backward rolls to get her shoulders up and turn the situation into a Full Mount in her favor, where she can punch away at the face of the Poké-Coordinator. Sonia gives May a series of stiff Elbow Smashes to the face from the mount…

…

…but May gives Sonia the slip and backward rolls…to turn the Full Mount into a Boston Crab onto Sonia! May proceeds to pull back on the hold, eliciting audible pained yelps from Mystique Sonia! Jenny starts to jitter a bit on the apron as she knows the trouble Sonia is in, beckoning her to hang in there, extending her hand…

…

…as Sonia uses all of the strength she can muster to crawl towards the corner where Jenny is whilst still in the Boston Crab! She reaches…and reaches…and reaches…

…and Jenny reaches too…

…

…and eventually, Sonia makes it and tags Jenny in for the first time! Jenny wastes little time and connects with a Springboard Victory Roll Driver onto May to a HUGE pop from the crowd! Jenny hits the ropes and delivers a Sliding Cross Body to a seated May…before picking her up from the canvas, elevating her and Spinning Back Kicking her in the midsection. Jenny hits the ropes again…

…

…and gets tagged back out by Sonia! Sonia gets back into the ring, rushes to May, and delivers a Running Snap DDT! Sonia covers May…

…

…and only gets a near-fall, but Jenny is confused, wondering what Sonia tagged back in after Jenny was in for not even thirty seconds. Sonia says she's GOT this, and now that she's out of the submission she's back in control…while Jenny talks about how Sonia has been in the ring ALL MATCH and likely should settle down, just to be safe…and voices are raised between the two…

…

…and as this is going on…May is crawling…

…

…and…before May reaches her corner, Sonia pushes Jenny away and knocks Dawn off of the apron and crashing into the announce table of Michaels and Collinsworth, drawing a loud GASP from Bubbles of the Powerpuffs! Blossom pokes fun at Techno-Tongue's dissention…while Sonia gives May a Diving Clothesline from the middle rope.

…

A moment later, with Jenny out of the ring, Sonia goes for a 108 Buster onto May…

…

…but May counters to her feet…hooks Sonia's arms…

…

…and gives her one…two…

…

…three Butterfly Suplexes in succession, Rolling-style, completing the Butterfree Trio! May and Sonia are down…and the former desperately wants to tag out to her partner Dawn. Sonia crawls to her own corner as well…

…

…and Sonia gets within touching distance of her corner first…

…

…but she…doesn't let Jenny get the tag, just glaring at her while May continues crawling! Dawn, who was knocked off of the apron before, recovers to get back there now, and await her partner's tag…

…

…and after enough debating and verbal back-and-forth, Sonia DOES tag in Jenny…

…

…just in time for May to tag in Dawn! Blossom notes what a mistake it is letting the fresh Coordinator in when they could have avoided it with an earlier tag, but regardless Dawn is in, and she comes in with authority…using a Wheelbarrow Headlock Driver onto Jenny, spiking her down hard! Dawn goes on the offensive off of the hot tag…and a Diving Corkscrew Cross Body from the top rope onto Jenny nets her a near-fall! Later, Dawn gives Jenny a Stun Gun into the ropes…and then Spotlight Kicks Jenny clean in the face! Sonia starts to stand, and SHE eats a Spotlight Kick also that sends her to the outside. With Sonia at ringside, Dawn sends her careening into the security barricade with a Suicide Dive! Sonia ends up seated against the barricade…

…

…and with a burst of energy, May flies into her with a Topé con Hilo that sandwiches her into the wall! With Sonia dispatched of, the Poké-Coordinators both climb to the top rope, measuring Jenny as the robot stands…

…

…and May delivers a Diving Spinning Heel Kick while Dawn hits a Diving Chop Block, the two of them connecting with the high-low combination variant! Dawn pins Jenny…for only a near-fall!

May gives Jenny an Inverted DDT, rolls over to transition it into a Dragon Stretch…and Dawn performs a Cartwheel Basement Dropkick between Jenny's eyes! Dawn picks Jenny up for the Piplup Driver…

…

…but Sonia, from the top rope herself, Missile Dropkicks Dawn and May in their backs, one foot apiece…

…and the impact is enough to cause Jenny to reverse the Piplup Driver into a Small Package! Jenny pins Dawn…and only gets 2 as Dawn kicks out! Dawn goes for a Roundhouse Kick, but Jenny ducks it…and pushes Dawn from the back into a punch to the gut from Sonia…then a Kneelift to the face…followed by two harsh Elbow Smashes to either side of Dawn while hitting the ropes…

…

…then a Springboard Back Elbow to the mush by Sonia, plus a Shooting Star Splash by Jenny!

…

But before Jenny can stand, May grabs her from behind…and DEADLIFT Dragon Suplexes her to the canvas…

…only for Mystique Sonia to get up and Somersault Senton onto May's sternum, leaving all four girls down! The referee Jim Kawaguchi checks on them all as the crowd cheers and applauds the action they are getting, the Powerpuff Girls watching intently as Al reminds them that either of those two teams could be potential future challengers to their Women's Tag Team Titles.

All four of them start to stand…and they trade punches with one another on their feet, the crowd picking sides with overlapping "YAYs" and "BOOs"…

…until the Poké-Coordinators block a pair of punches and send Techno-Tongue into the ropes with a flurry of their own, gaining the upper hand. May and Dawn Irish Whip Jenny and Sonia…and the Poké-Coordinators try a set of Back Body Drops, only for Techno-Tongue to deliver stereo kicks to their faces. Techno-Tongue hit the ropes together this time…

…and run into a pair of Savate Kicks to their faces! The one from Dawn to Sonia sends Sonia falling down…but Jenny STAYS UP after May's Savate to her, screaming at the top of her robotic lungs before firing Forearm Smashes back and forth to both Pokémon characters. After some time, May goes for a Clothesline to Jenny, but Jenny ducks it and grabs May and JUMPS up for the Gear Grinder…

…

…only to get caught over Dawn's shoulder in Oklahoma position! Dawn keeps a hold of the Teenage Robot…and delivers an Over-the-Shoulder Gutbuster, keeping control and standing with Jenny again…

…

…allowing May to hit the ropes and run with a Neckbreaker to Jenny while Dawn Front Powerslams Jenny to the canvas! Off of that combination, the two of them see Sonia getting up…

…

…and they run to her and deliver an emphatic Running Double Ace Crusher that almost spikes Sonia onto the top of her forehead! Al identifies the maneuver as their Emerald and Platinum Cutter…

…

…and as soon as Jenny struggles to her feet, SHE gets one as well! Off of the second E&P Cutter, Dawn pins Jenny: 1…

2…

…

…2.95 Jenny kicks out, surprising the Female Tag Team of the Year, as they ALMOST put away the Female Shining Star of the Year with that maneuver!

May and Dawn decide to switch, May tagging in while Dawn tosses Sonia out of the ring…and May climbs to the top rope…Jenny about to stand…

…

…and…May's Hoenn Hangover is REJECTED, CAUGHT, and turned in mid-move into a Jenny-Oop by Jenny! Jeremy and the announcers shriek in shock as the awestruck crowd BURSTS into chants…

…

…while Jenny takes advantage, albeit slowly, with a pin: 1…

2…

…

…2.96 May gets her shoulder up in time! Jenny picks May up slowly…and goes for an Emerald Flowsion as the time limit of this match starts to dwindle, as Al Michaels notes…

…

…and…Jenny's Emerald Flowsion is countered with an O'Connor Roll try by May off the float-over…but Jenny holds onto the ropes to prevent it, Springboards towards May…

…

…and has her Springboard Tornado DDT turned into a Sit-Out Spinebuster by May! May holds onto the downed Jenny from there and pins her in sit-down position: 1…

2…

…

…Jenny kicks out surprisingly!

May, panting, goes for the Mayflower Compact, her Snapmare Neckbreaker move on Jenny…

…

…but Jennifer counters in mid-lift with an Arm Drag…then BLASTS May with a Shuffle Side Kick…

…then CLOCKS her with an Enzuigiri, both kicks echoing around the Palace of Auburn Hills! A Dropkick to the back finally takes May down…and sends her falling onto the middle rope! Jenny runs, the crowd knowing what time it is…

…

…and…Dawn intercepts Jenny on the return, running in and stopping her with a Dropkick that would make Kazuchika Okada proud! Jenny reels, down to one knee…

…and Dawn hits the adjacent ropes herself…

…

…and…Jenny catches Drapion Rising and picks Dawn up swiftly in an Electric Chair! Jenny then walks over to where May is, seeing her still draped over the middle rope…stomps onto her back, holding her against the rope and throttling her there…

…

…before Sonia comes off of the top rope herself and hits a Diving Leg Lariat onto the perched Dawn, completing the Doomsday Leg Lariat together and sending Dawn for the ride! The crowd chants, "XJ9! XJ9! XJ9!" seeing where May still is, having been kept there with Jenny's stomps before…

…

…and Jenny hits the ropes…and DRILLS May with the XJ9! From here…

…Mystique Sonia grabs May in a Front Facelock, looking at Jenny…as Jenny looks right back at her…and flashes a WIDE GRIN, knowing what she wants to do next…

…

…as Sonia lifts Dawn up for a Suplex…Jenny prepares to Springboard…

…

…and…before Jenny can jump, Mystique Sonia gives Dawn a Brainbuster! Then Sonia stands up with May again, and puts her in a Fireman's Carry…while tagging in a nonplussed Jenny Wakeman…

…

…as Sonia gives Dawn the 108 Buster! Mystique Sonia turns Dawn over and pins her by hooking the legs, all while Jenny watches it play out: 1…

2…

…

…2.975 Dawn kicks out! Mystique Sonia looks absolutely flummoxed by the near-fall…while Jenny shouts to Sonia about how she thought they were going for Operation Mockingbird, their Vertical Suplex / Springboard Cross Body combo, only for Sonia to go rogue on the maneuver. This leads to another verbal debate…which leads to Jenny asking Sonia to tag her in so they can ACTUALLY perform their double team move. Sonia…half-shrugs, before tagging Jenny in with a "Sure, why not?" expression. Sonia picks May up to the middle turnbuckle, placing her there in the corner facing outward to the audience…while Jenny ascends up this corner, grabbing a hold of May's head…

…

…and Techno-Tongue want the Powerbomb / Shiranui combination…but instead, May counters, grabbing Jenny instead and delivering an Inverted Superplex while giving Sonia a Frankensteiner in one swoop! ANOTHER loud round of cheers and applause ensues as the crowd chants, "POKÉ-GIRLS! POKÉ-GIRLS! POKÉ-GIRLS!"

…

The Powerpuff Girls all speak words of impressed nature over the action they are seeing, talking about how THIS is what the Tag Premier League, the XX Tag Division, and the Women's Tag Team Titles are ALL ABOUT…as May and Jenny both stand, exchanging kicks, exchanging punches…

…

…until one Discus Forearm Smash by Jenny is dodged…

…and in May getting out of the way, Jenny accidentally clobbers a standing Mystique Sonia! Jenny gasps in grief, putting her hands to her mouth as she realizes her mistake…

…

…while May goes for a Bridging O'Connor Roll off of it! Jenny is down, and referee Jim Kawaguchi counts 1…

2…

…

…2.9825 Jenny kicks out…and that sends May towards the ropes…

…

…where she leaps and steps off of the middle rope, turns around, and meets a standing Wakeman with a 180 Hoenn Hangover! Jenny tumbles onto a knee…

…

…and that leaves her open for Dawn's Drapion Rising! Dawn crawls over to hinder Mystique Sonia's progress by applying a Guillotine Choke onto her…

…

…while May runs around Jenny, Tilt-a-Whirls her seemingly cataleptic chassis…and applies the Flying Rayquaza! "THIS is how you do one of those! THAT is how you do it! That's TEXTBOOK right there!" Blossom praises, as Buttercup suggests that it's time to tap…

…while Bubbles brings up the fact that time is running out—there may only be about two minutes left to go in this match! All the while, May holds onto the Flying Rayquaza, pulling on it as hard as her body will allow…Jenny in a world of trouble…Sonia unable to save her…

…

…until she muscles up from the Guillotine of Dawn and actually Back Body Drops her over the ropes and down to the arena floor! Sonia is free to save Jenny from the clutches of the Flying Rayquaza, May none the wiser…

…

…and Sonia…stares at the submission predicament Jenny is in…stares at her…stares at her…

…

…and Jeremy asks, "What's Sonia waiting for: an invitation? A bus? Get over there and save your friend's bacon, girl!"

"…What if she doesn't WANT to save it?" Cris proposes.

The Powerpuff Girls all wonder what Sonia is doing just standing there…

…

…while Jenny is being forced to suffer without any assistance whatsoever right in front of her! Jenny's eyes manage to meet Sonia…eyes which seem to indicate that she wants and NEEDS help…as the Teenage Robot even manages to utter the words, "Help…me…" in-between strains. Sonia, however…just watches…like Scar looking at his brother Mufasa climbing up the cliff…

…

…and eventually, in the Flying Rayquaza, Jenny starts to look like she is fading…and referee Jim Kawaguchi checks the arm of Jenny to see it drooping…

…

…and he holds the arm up once…drop…

…and he holds the arm up twice…drop…

…and he holds the arm up a third time…

…

…and Mystique Sonia YAKSHA STOMPS May right in the face to cause her to let go of Jenny Wakeman and the submission maneuver! Sonia is down, Dawn is down, May is down inside of the ring…and the crowd is absolutely BUZZING over this contest as it continues…

…and via Blader DJ's declaration over the microphone, is stated to only have ONE MINUTE REMAINING. Al reminds everybody that if the bout does not reach a pinfall, submission, or disqualification decision in the next sixty seconds, it will be declared a draw with both teams earning ONE point apiece in the standings. Cris poses the question on what either team should do: settle for the tie or go for the three points. With the tournament JUST STARTING…you may want to cut losses or you may want to jump out to an early lead. Buttercup is of the opinion that the teams should fight until the end since every point matters BECAUSE the tournament has just started…

…

…and as this is being talked about, Mystique Sonia uses her hands to push herself up to stand…near a corner…where, after having heard the one-minute warning, she starts prying off the turnbuckle pad from the bottom turnbuckle there…then the middle one…and then the top rope, leaving all three turnbuckles exposed. Referee Jim Kawaguchi notices this, and despite scolding Sonia beside her, the Heroine 108 is too busy to be bothered, untying the pads anyway…and then collapsing to the mat. The referee is bemused and upset…as he starts going to work reapplying the turnbuckle pads. Sonia rolls out of the ring…

…and May starts to rise…pulling Jenny up from the mat…

…

…and May goes for another Ace Crusher…

…

…but Jenny pushes May into the ropes, groggy as she is…and kicks her in the stomach, setting her up for a Jenny-Oop…

…

…but May counters by picking Jenny up from the Standing Headscissors…and with Jenny draped over her shoulder, May delivers an Okada-like Reverse Neckbreaker over her knee! From here, May picks Jenny right back up…

…

…and…May's Mayflower Compact is blocked, with Jenny keeping her feet moving so that May cannot lift her up for the Snapmare (which Cris concedes is very smart on the part of the Nickelodeon star)…

…

…and Jenny pulls May up from the mat and drives her down with an Emerald Flowsion! May is rocked…and Jenny rocks her further via the Shining Apprentice! With that, May is completely dazed…

…

…and Jenny grabs her for the Shiranui…

…

…while Mystique Sonia slides back into the ring with a barbwire 2x4 in hand! Sonia is behind May and Jenny…and as Jenny puts May in the Three-Quarter Facelock, Sonia points the 2x4 ahead of her…

"Oh my God—SHADES OF THE FWAS! NO!" Jeremy gasps.

…

…and Jenny…as she is about to leap, tilts her head up in the first movement to do so…and in doing so, she senses a presence behind her…

…

…and as she turns her head to view it fully, May twists out of Jenny's grip and counters, delivering the Mayflower Compact! With Jenny down, May goes for the cover…Sonia watching…

…

…but the referee Jim Kawaguchi is still in the middle of retying the turnbuckles Sonia untied before, and thus May realizes there is no one to count the fall. So she sits up and starts to stand up…

…and then gets NAILED with the barbwire 2x4 RIGHT across the face!

Sonia stands over May stoically with the 2x4 in hand, unseen and undetected by the referee, who is tying back the top and final turnbuckle…and the crowd actually breaks into a chorus of BOOS for this! Dawn pulls herself up onto the ring apron…

…

…and Mystique Sonia rams the barbwire 2x4 into the Blue Beauty's face, knocking her off of the apron! Sonia looks around, notices that time is running out in the match, only SECONDS left…

…

…and Sonia drops the 2x4 out of the ring…and pulls Jenny on top of May's downed body! Sonia shouts for the referee to look alive…

…

…and as Jim Kawaguchi finishes retying up the turnbuckles, he sees the pinfall attempt and drops down to count: 1…

2…

…

…3! JUST before time expires, the count is tolled and Techno-Tongue are declared the winners! Mystique Sonia sits in the corner of the ring, taking in what just happened…as the crowd is actually booing profusely, not AT ALL liking how things concluded! The commentators are up in arms about how the match was a thrilling one, only to end in THAT fashion…while the Powerpuff Girls appear to be sharing that sentiment too…though Cris Collinsworth refers to the tactic as "doing what had to be done to win." He adds, "Maybe it might have been SMART… She just turned an incoming tie into three points…or a potential LOSS even into three points…"

Jenny slowly comes to as "Give Me Everything You've Got" by Blue Stahli plays…and she sees Sonia in the corner and asks her what happened, still in a daze…and Sonia replies simply, "…I told you…everyone was gonna see…how capable I was…" From here, Jenny gets checked (and her hand raised) by the referee…while Sonia slowly rolls back out of the ring…

…

…and…Sonia starts laying into the downed Dawn with the barbwire 2x4, picking it back up! Sonia, like a woman possessed, starts hitting her with shot after shot after shot, much to the horror of the fans, shock of the announcers and disdain of the Powerpuff Girls, Buttercup shouting, "They already got screwed at Fallout; wasn't THAT screwy enough?!" Sonia whacks Dawn over and over again, even hitting her directly in the face, getting the barbwire caught in her hair many a time. Eventually, Jenny notices what Sonia is doing, and she slides out of the ring and pushes her back from Dawn, the Teenage Robot herself in a condition of shock over this, not believing what has gotten into her partner! Jenny, after scolding Sonia (and in the process starting to piece together how the match likely ended), checks on the condition of Dawn, who is convulsing in pain, her right arm being sliced open…

…

…and Sonia now slides back INSIDE the ring and delivers barbwire 2x4 shots to May! Sonia targets May's midsection, hitting her so hard it draws coughs from May and causes her to cough up trickles of blood! Jenny realizes this as well and shouts at Sonia to stop, physically holding her back with her own arms and body…

…until Sonia starts swinging the 2x4 wildly in front of her just to hold Jenny back! Jenny keeps her distance, still begging Sonia to calm herself down…

…

…and then, Bubbles jumps onto the apron and Springboards into a Double Knee Smash onto Sonia! Jenny is taken aback by this as Blossom and Buttercup both slide into the ring and start whipping the downed Sonia with their Tag Team Championship Belts! Jenny tries to run over to stop this, but Bubbles keeps her back, yelling, "WE'RE SAVING THEM FROM YOUR PARTNER!" Jenny, just seeing her partner getting a mugging, tries to help Sonia…

…

…but as she pushes Powerpuffs away, she eats a Belt shot to the face from Blossom! That takes Jenny down hard…and it allows the Women's Tag Team Champions to triple-team Sonia, each taking turns locking up her arms and punching her in the stomach in pairs…before Blossom and Bubbles Whip Sonia into a Spear by Buttercup! Jenny gets up again…and Blossom gives her ANOTHER Belt shot and orders her sisters to throw her out of the ring to keep her from intervening in things. The Powerpuffs then sneer as they look down at Sonia…and Blossom tells Buttercup and Bubbles to handle her while the Commander checks on Dawn. Buttercup picks Sonia up in an Argentine Rack…

…

…and Bubbles Springboard Dropkicks Sonia in the side of the head, which adds some velocity for Buttercup to spin Sonia out for an Argentine Neckbreaker! Blossom pushes Dawn into the ring and, there, Bubbles and Buttercup ask her if she is okay, helping her up…while Blossom picks up May to do the same. The PPG and the Poké-Coordinators are conversing on conditions, the former showing the latter what they did to Sonia, making her pay for screwing them…and Blossom tells them not to worry—that they were going to make everything right at Pride & Glory…

…

…before Bubbles and Buttercup give Dawn a Double Russian Leg Sweep! Blossom picks May up onto her shoulders and drops her with a Flower Pot! The PPG beat down the two of THEM now, and the commentators are shouting about WHY…why they would attack them after just saying that they were going to AVENGE them, after saying they COMMISSERATED with them. Nevertheless, Bubbles gives May a Bubblevicious…and Buttercup gives Dawn the Bittersweet! Blossom drags Dawn to the center of the squared circle…and all three Tag Champions ascend to the top rope…

…

…and Bubbles hits the Moonsault Leg Drop called the Bubble Trouble…

…Buttercup delivers Bombs Away, her Diving Corkscrew Senton…

…and Blossom hits the 630 Splash, completing Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice onto Dawn! Blossom shouts for a microphone…and upon taking one, she speaks into it, "We meant everything that we said tonight! We meant EVERY SINGLE WORD of it… WWE and WCW took a leak all over their OWN Women's Tag Team Belts…but they will NOT do the same to ours. We won't LET THEM do the same to ours, because these have VALUE! These have PRECEDENCE! And most importantly, these have OUR NAMES ON THEM, and the greatest heroines of all time KNOW how to protect what is important to them, and Townsville and these Titles are the most VITAL, CRITICAL THINGS in our lives! And if we are willing to do what we just did to the people we said we were going to AVENGE…if we are willing to, with no qualm whatsoever, subject these women to THIS…then imagine what we are going to put Sailor Mars and Partner X through at Pride & Glory when they try as they might to take away our dynasty. What will we do to the INFIDELS if this is what we do to our OWN COWORKERS? Rest assured, CCW…rest assured, Woody Paige; rest assured, Zero Kazama… I will GET DOWN ON MY KNEES…" Blossom did just that, "…KISS the very canvas I wrestle upon…" Blossom did just that too…blowing SEVERAL kisses onto the mat and even LICKING it underneath her, pretending the mat was a Dark Guardian underneath her… "…and stand here and AVOW to you that we are NO Dan Kusos. WE will do CCW justice. WE will be the true heroes. The honor of our Women's Tag Team Championship will be saved, NOT thanks to Techno-Tongue, but thanks…to the POWERPUFF GIRLS." Blossom raised her Championship Belt high…

"…And if they even DARE to do to us what they did to those Coordinators…if they even have the slightest INKLING to make a STEELPORT Screwjob, then I promise you…WE promise you…Pride & Glory is going to be…" Blossom passes the microphone to Bubbles…

"…Powerpuff…" Bubbles passes the microphone to Buttercup.

"…Fire…" Buttercup hands it back to Blossom.

"…IGNITE." Blossom puts the microphone down, and the crowd is wondering what is going to happen NOW.

…

Buttercup starts rubbing her hands hastily…while Bubbles walks over to Sonia and picks up her Yaksha Hat from her head. Buttercup keeps on rubbing…rubbing…more friction…MORE friction…

…

…until FIRE emanates from Buttercup's hands! Blossom, on the other side of Bubbles, takes a deep breath…

…

…and Buttercup throws a FIREBALL at the Yaksha while Blossom BREATHES FIRE onto the hat, setting it doubly ablaze in Bubbles's hands! Bubbles lets the Yaksha Hat burn, dropping it to the canvas and blowing a raspberry as it smolders. With the power of the flames, Mystique Sonia's headwear starts to disintegrate, starting with the scarf-esque arms of it…and one can see the EYES on the Yaksha bugging out in trepidation as the entire piece is engulfed in flames! Mystique Sonia is barely aware of ANY of this…

…

…and Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup add insult to injury with a TRIPLE POWERBOMB in the middle of the ring to Sonia! The Powerpuff Girls stand tall over all of the damage done, including the burning hat…and they raise their CCW Women's Tag Team Titles over their heads to a MADDENED flow of boos. The Powerpuffs take their leave…May and Dawn writhing…Jenny looking up and seeing what has happened to Sonia and her Yaksha and gasping in disbelief…

…and Mystique Sonia…who hadn't even wanted to do the TPL in the first place, but DID…and got to be a sacrificial lamb for the Powerpuffs' message for her troubles. She had gone from unleashing frustrations upon the Poké-Coordinators…to watching her Yaksha getting reduced to ashes…

Techno-Tongue Talk After The Match

Mystique Sonia, staring at her hands which are coated with some of the ashes of the remains of her yaksha hat, is on a bench simmering silently…while Jenny Wakeman has her head and face buried in the wall of the locker room. After about a thirty second silence, Jenny turns to Sonia…and says she doesn't even know what to say right now…

…to which Sonia replies, "Then don't say a word, Jen."

Sonia doesn't even look in Jenny's direction, starting to vent to her that this was the Teenage Robot's idea; like everything else, it was Jenny's idea that Sonia got strung along with. "…And now what do I have to show for it? What have I gotten? What do I have that defends you saying this was a juncture that would benefit BOTH of us? Maybe you should reassess the definition of the word 'benefit', because I'm pretty sure it entails GAINING something rather than LOSING it!"

Jenny holds her face in both hands, wiping it down, feeling horrible about this…knowing that losing her yaksha to the fire of the PPG made Sonia mad and upset…much like when the PPG attacked and massacred Jenny's sisters…and Jenny finally says, after a sigh, "…We won the match. We won the match; we beat the Poké-Coordinators. I don't like HOW we did it… I don't exactly like what YOU did en route to winning it and AFTER winning it…but we won the match. …And that means that we are one step closer to becoming TPL winners…and getting back our shot at the Powerpuff Girls. Together, we can make them PAY. Together, we can bring them DOWN, and avenge what they've taken from BOTH of us—MY family, YOUR yaksha…" Jenny puts a hand on Sonia's shoulder and all but implores her, "Don't let this send us to oblivion. I'm sorry…I'm truly sorry, more sorry than ANYTHING…but this just means I'm going to fight even HARDER. …Are YOU going to fight harder?"

Jenny awaits Sonia's reply…as Sonia still has yet to make eye contact with Jenny in any capacity…

…

…and Sonia says, in a lowered voice, "…Yeah…yeah…"

Jenny nods, saying, "Good…" rubbing Sonia's shoulder as well, before taking a deep breath and saying out loud that now she has to switch gears to Zoe Payne tonight.

…And THIS prompts eye contact from Sonia to Jenny, along with a small tapping of her foot…that Jenny could not notice quite. Jenny asks Sonia if she will be okay back there [for match time]…to which Sonia answers, "I guess I will," looking right at the Nicktoon.

…

"Good luck…" Sonia adds, talking directly to Jenny…who thanks Sonia with a warm hug…although Jenny cannot see Sonia's face in this hug, which consists of a look of visible unhappiness…and vicious malcontent…

Pardon the Intervention

Before the next match could kick off, Kai Green scurries down to the ring with a microphone in hand and a heavily distraught look in her eyes. The fans aren't happy to see her, but she couldn't care less as she has an important message to deliver: "Knowing that an individual is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Gwen Tennyson, even we have believed in Gwen Tennyson, that we might be justified by the faith of Gwen, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." …In other words, what was happening to her goddess Gwen Tennyson at the orders of CCW Commissioner James Gordon was an absolute CRIME. Gordon's testing of the Alpha Bitch for his and the world's amusement was downright immoral…but it was okay, because First & Only shall prevail…though not without a price being paid for her tribulation.

Kai continues to state that all of these tests, vexing as they were, were doomed for vain when dealing with the greatest female wrestler on this and any planet. She exclaims that Gwen Tennyson doesn't not need to decorate herself with two Belts, three Belts, twenty Belts… She did not need those TRINKETS, because she already had the Holy Grail in the Females Championship, which MADE her the best: "My goddess is of a quality that overpowers all quantities!" Kai says.

Kai emphasizes once more that there would be a repercussion for all of this…but as she is talking, "Freefall" by Two Steps from Hell plays and "The Warrior Princess" Xena comes down to the ring. Kai is displeased by Xena's intrusion on her message, but Xena is fixated on only one issue herself…ARES. Xena says that she knew Ares; she had fought tooth and nail with Ares and had one of the most tumultuous relationships ever with him…and yet even SHE couldn't see Ares lowering himself to what he had lowered himself to under Gwen Tennyson. Xena, having seen Ares in the building from the Pre-Show, demanded that he come out and show his face to her…

…but Kai shakes her head and says that Xena's hastiness will get her nowhere. "Ares is busy praying to his new God," Kai tells Xena. "He has no time for you whatsoever." Kai then chuckles…and says that it was a pleasure helping to convert Ares to the religion of Gwen with her spiritual persuasion. Xena raises an eyebrow…and says that knowing that Kai herself, The Messenger of Gwen, had something to do with it…she was prepared to grab vengeance and get to Ares herself…but even MORE prepared to hurt the ones responsible…"and you just gave me my first target," Xena adds before Clotheslining Kai down!

Xena mounts Kai and riddles her face with repeated punches, making every shot count…and Kai manages to roll away from Xena and get to the ropes, but Xena grabs her by the hair to keep her inside the ring. Xena kicks her in the clavicle repeatedly, keeping up the offense while Kai hangs onto the bottom rope and cowers back. Xena then grabs Kai's feet and yanks her up…

…and…Kai backflips to her feet from there and blasts Xena with a Jumping Enzuigiri! Xena is dazed…and Kai turns around and hits Xena with a Springboard Shining Wizard! Kai shouts at the downed Xena, "I HEAR YOU NOT, FOR YOU ARE NOT OF GWEN! YOUR WORDS ARE EMPTY, FOR YOU…ARE NOT…OF GWEN!" Kai then picks Xena up and goes for her Rolling Cutter, the same move she used at Pandemonium onto Aelita and Jenny (which was learned later to be known as the Revelation)…

…but Xena counters with a half backflip into a Headscissors Takedown! Kai ends up facing a corner…but Xena runs into her with a Jumping Corner Splash followed by a German Suplex…holding onto Kai…German Suplexing her a second time…holding onto Kai again…and hitting a THIRD German Suplex, releasing Kai across the ring this time! Then Xena gets into a corner of her own, measures the Gwenly prophet…

…

…and…can't get the Busaiku Knee Strike as Kai ducks and rolls out of the ring, hurriedly heading to the back. Kai hurls epithets of disdain at Xena, proclaiming that she will make the Warrior Princess pay a price for her insurrection…while Xena is bent on getting to Ares…and if it meant putting down Kai first, so be it.

Chell (w/ Wheatley) vs. Vicky

As Vicky came down to the ring, demanding the "twerps" in the audience to listen up, she proclaimed that with CCW Regal Rumble on its way and a XX-branded Regal Rumble Match announced to take place, it was time for skulls to be cracked and people to get tortured by her hands. The first person on her road to doing this? Chell. She had encountered Chell a week before, but it was under the circumstances of being paid off by Trixie Tang to whittle her down before the Chain Match at Pandemonium. However, tonight, she wasn't doing this for Trixie Tang…but rather, doing it for HERSELF. Meanwhile, Chell was fresh off of a Pandemonium victory over Tang, and was en route to Pride & Glory and her match against Soi Fong…and united with Wheatley, she was on a track of her own, with desires of her own as well—including Regal Rumble implications.

Chell doesn't even get a chance to enter the ring as Vicky goes after her with kicks and punches as she is entering the ring! Vicky stomps onto Chell, taunting her and screaming at her to try and repeat last week again. Vicky mounts Chell with punches and even executes a pair of Hair-Pull Biel Throws…

…

…before Chell comes back with a Double Choke Biel of her own, throwing Vicky FAR and HIGH into the air! Vicky stands in a corner…and tries to catch the charging Chell with a pair of raised boots to block the Avalanche coming, but Chell catches the feet…only for Vicky to turn it into a Headscissors Head Slam into the middle turnbuckle! Vicky jumps over Chell from the corner and waits for her to stand…speeding at her this time…

…

…and getting caught with a VICIOUS Side Slam out of the corner, ST-Joe style! Chell waits for Vicky to rise before blasting her with a MERCILESS Lariat that turns her inside-out, outside-in, and inside-out again in one motion! Chell picks Vicky back up and Release Powerbombs her into the canvas, causing the babysitter to roll to the outside for a brief refuge for herself.

…

As this is happening…a soft chuckling is heard from over the speakers…a soft…female…automated chuckling…

Wheatley from ringside recognizes that voice, saying with a shudder, "…I thought she went home…"

Chell hears the chuckling…and next goes out to the apron and dives at Vicky for a Shoulder Block, knocking her down hard! Chell lifts Vicky up onto her shoulder…and gives her Snake Eyes off of the ring apron…

…

…followed by Snake Eyes into the steel ring post face-first! Chell cracks her knuckles and picks Vicky up to her feet once again…Full Nelson lifting her into a Chokeslam onto the arena floor! And now, the computerized laughter grows LOUDER, much to Wheatley's audible fright. Chell grabs Vicky off of the floor…

…and GLaDOS herself says, "Having fun over there? …Tests aren't supposed to be fun, you know… They're supposed to be a study in experience, in valuable enrichment and learning theory…and yet even someone completely devoted to science like me can't help but enjoy this so much… And the best part? I know how much YOU'RE enjoying it too…"

Chell takes a moment to process this voice…before picking Vicky up and Military Pressing her back inside the ring. Vicky rolls across the ring to the opposite apron and tries to fight back with an Up-Kick to Chell's head…but her Slingshot Clothesline attempt is met with a Thrust Spinebuster! Chell Headbutts the back of Vicky's head and sends her back to the apron…

…

…before climbing up the corner…picking Vicky up…

…

…and Deadlift Superplexing her to the center of the ring! Vicky is in a world of pain…

…

…and GLaDOS says, "Yeeees…quite adequately done, I would say… Now FINISH your test…"

Chell takes these words…while Wheatley shouts, "Ummm…I think she's trying to say GO CHELL! You've got this, love! Give 'er the Portal Wound!"

…

Chell picks Vicky up…and instead of the Portal Wound, she puts Vicky in the Silent but Deadly submission! Vicky flails her arms as she tries to fight out of it…

…

…and Chell gives Vicky a Rear Naked Choke Suplex, dropping Vicky DIRECTLY onto her head! …Then Chell holds onto Vicky and stands right back up with her! Chell chokes Vicky out even more…

…

…and then Rear Naked Choke Suplexes her a SECOND time! Chell rolls to her feet, STILL keeping Vicky in her grasp…

…

…and she delivers a THIRD Rear Naked Choke Suplex…then a FOURTH…then a FIFTH…to the point where Vicky doesn't even have a free MOMENT to submit if she wants to! As this is happening, GLaDOS's laughter echoes throughout the building as fans are chanting, "CHELL! CHELL! CHELL! CHELL!" in support of the Portal Protagonist…

…

…and after SIX Rear Naked Choke Suplexes, Vicky weakly manages to tap out to the SBD! The bell rings…

…

…and Chell gives Vicky ONE MORE Rear Naked Choke Suplex to let go! The fans actually CHEER this too, appreciating the violence, almost as sadistic as the display…although Wheatley says, "All in a day's work, love! Way to go! Didn't, er…really have to do that last throw there technically but I guess EXTRA CREDIT doesn't hurt anyone, right? …Well, I guess it DOES if the referee gets mad at you…" Chell picks up Wheatley…and raises her own hand in victory, leaving Vicky motionless inside the ring as she heads to the back…and it is clear that there's something different between this Chell and the Chell known before…and GLaDOS could certainly attest, considering such…

The Starks Prepare to Seize

Sansa and Arya Stark are in their locker room, the former staring ahead at a mirror on a wall in mental preparation for her Females Championship Match against Gwen Tennyson in the evening. It was something neither of the two expected…but they were ready regardless. Arya crosses her arms, lampshading the fact that she and Sansa did not see this coming, even after Pandemonium and its happenings…but even with how it came about and who apparently was behind this besides Gordon…we would be FOOLISH not to take it. Arya says that Gwen believes she is the Khaleesi to be feared around here…but through all of her travels through Westeros and Braavos, she can attest from experience that EVERY ONE of them meets their end. ANYONE can be killed…and tonight…her sister was going to KILL First and Only…

…

…and Koldblooded were going to support her the whole way, as Skarlet says upon entering the Starks' space once again. Mileena is there as well…and Sansa turns to the two of them, saying that initially she and Arya were going to interpret Koldblooded's attempts to get into the Starks' better graces to be incredibly farcical and stupid…and they would only make the Starks want to off the Kombatants even MORE…but now…

…they STILL wanted to off the two Kombatants, but…because of them…there is a much heavier, much bigger task at hand for her. Sansa declares that this is enough for the Starks to SPARE Koldblooded for now…but she makes a caveat, an edict: when the match happens…Sansa wants Mileena and Skarlet to STAY OUT OF HER WAY. Sansa does not want either of them going to ringside and even RISKING a Pandemonium redux from occurring. Koldblooded hear this…and amidst their concerns (most likely involving Gwen's cult), they agree and promise not to come down to the ring during the match. For that, Sansa nods…before telling Koldblooded to get out of there now. The Kombatants oblige, leaving one last well wish…leaving Sansa to continue her meditative exercise, and Arya to watch her sister ready herself.

Tag Premier League Group B Match – The Daughters of Destiny vs. The Cyber Girls

With the Dragon Kids having become EX-World Tag Team Champions earlier in the evening in heartrending fashion, and The END taking sure delight in what they did to Emmy six nights ago, the Cyber Girls, Inez Garcia and Jackie LeRange, wanted to provide something positive for PBS, especially tonight at the start of the Tag Premier League. Backstage, the two of them cheered each other up and motivated one another for the night, knowing how important this TPL was; Inez astutely noted that it was a tournament that led the Dragon Kids to their first World Tag Team Title reign—the CCW Combine Cup to be precise—and this League could do the same for the Cyber Girls in giving PBS its first Women's Tag Team Champions in history. However, when you mention the word "history", the Griffin and Simpson families come to mind, and that leads us to the Daughters of Destiny, Lisa Simpson and Megan Griffin, who were fresh off of a Pandemonium for them both to remember and were making their official Tag Team debut this evening. They were set in their own minds that not only were they going to win the TPL…but they were DESTINED to do so and resistance to said destiny was futile. And so we had this Group B Round Robin Match…

Megan and Jackie start the match off, and it is Megan and her superior upper body strength that allows her to handle Jackie handily with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex and Sambo Suplex, followed by a kick directed to the back. Megan's Full Nelson application, however, is hindered by Jackie reversing into a Side Headlock. Megan pushes Jackie into the ropes…and Jackie runs into Griffin for a Shoulder Tackle that only knocks her a few steps backward…before Megan runs back at Jackie for a Clothesline that Jackie ducks, running the ropes again. But Jackie's Cross Body attempt is caught and turned into a Front Slam by Megan Griffin, who taunts the Cyber Girl asking if that is all she has. Jackie tags out to Inez, who hopes to have different luck; Inez takes a Body Slam from Megan but rolling away from a Senton Backsplash, allowing her to attack with three consecutive Dropkicks to Megan's face as she sits up. Inez hits the ropes…and Megan ducks under, getting up and going for a Sidewalk Slam…but Inez flips clear through the Sidewalk Slam, lands on her feet and turns it into a seamless Inverted Facelock Backbreaker! Inez then transfers it into a Side Headlock, taking Megan down…twice…three times in Side Headlock fashion.

Eventually Lisa gets to tag in, and she and Inez square off…with the former bringing Inez down with a Single-Leg Takedown and elbowing Inez in the right leg. After dropping six such elbows, Lisa…gets trapped in an Omoplata by Inez, who turns it into an Omoplata Armbar submission hold, trapping one arm in her feet and pulling back at the other arm in the opposite direction! Lisa winces and yelps in initial pain…but she is able to find a counter by rolling onto her back to pin Inez's shoulder down…

…but Inez rolls right back up, turning it back her way to reapply the Omoplata Armbar hold…forcing Lisa to find another counter…

…

…which she does, freeing one arm…and using the other to execute a One-Armed Prawn Lift, showing some power of her own…

…

…before Inez turns that into a Sunset Flip! Lisa, though, rolls through that and turns it into a Jackknife Pin: 1…2…Inez bridges back up and spins about, now using a Backslide Pin: 1…2…Lisa rolls backward and hooks Inez's arms, thinking Double Underhook Suplex…

…

…but Inez flips and lands onto her feet from the Suplex throw try! Lisa is STUNNED…both figuratively AND literally as Inez performs a Stunner right where she stands, dazing Simpson and allowing Inez to hit the ropes and nail a Forearm Smash to the face! The Cyber Girls start to find their groove here, making a tag and delivering a Russian Leg Sweep (Inez) / Blockbuster (Jackie) combination! Jackie pins Lisa: 1…

2…

…

…2.65 Lisa kicks out!

Jackie later nails a Rolling Fireman's Carry Slam to Simpson…before heading to the top rope to attempt a Diving Elbow Drop…but Megan, from the apron, pursues the perched LeRange…

…

…who preemptively dives off of the top rope and performs a Diving Hurricanrana that takes Megan off of the apron and to the arena floor! The crowd pops for that…as Jackie returns to the top rope, Lisa starting to stand up now, causing Jackie to change her attack tactic…

…

…and go for a Diving Forearm Smash, but Lisa Dropkicks her out of the air!

The Daughters of Destiny seize the advantage from here, both Simpson and Griffin stomping and punching away at Jackie once they isolate her to the DoD corner. Megan feigns an Irish Whip across the ring to Hammer Throw Jackie back into the team corner chest-first! Jackie tries to fight back…but Meg blocks a punch from her and picks her up…into an Argentine Rack Front Slam! Then Megan drops onto Jackie with a big Senton Backsplash, THIS time connecting flush! Megan hooks a leg…

…

…but only gets a near-fall. Lisa tags in, and she rocks Jackie with a series of Short-Arm Fireman's Carry Takeovers, pulling her in, bringing her down, hanging on, rinsing and repeating with skill. Then Lisa twists Jackie's arm and hits a Saito Suplex! Lisa pins Jackie…

…

…but only gets another near-fall. The Daughters of Destiny take their own hand at double-teaming when after a tag, Lisa holds Jackie in a Double Chickenwing Clutch while Megan throws a series of punches to the abdomen…

…then Lisa delivers a Tiger Suplex…

…

…and then Megan hits the ropes and hits a Big Splash onto Jackie, folding her legs over the wrong way by her head! Megan stays on top of Jackie for the pinning combination…

…

…and Inez Ramon has to run in and break up the pin! Megan is none too happy…and gets to make this known when she knocks Jackie down with a Lariat to the back of the head to prevent a Cyber Girl tag…and then Polish Hammers Inez off of the apron for kicks! Megan provides more offense with a Butterfly Suplex to Jackie across the ring…

…

…but her attempt at a Corner Avalanche is intercepted by Jackie, who runs out of the corner and Kitchen Sink Knees her in the stomach! Megan tumbles to the mat from the impact, and Jackie has a chance to make it to her corner to Inez…

…

…but Megan grabs Jackie as she's crawling and puts her in a Side Bear Hug to stabilize her. Jackie struggles…outstretching her arms in an attempt to get to her friend…but Megan holds on…stands up with Jackie in her grasp…

…

…and…has her German Suplex turned into a Wheelbarrow Bodyscissors Facebuster! Jackie slowly returns to her feet…

…

…Double Foot Stomps a doubled-over Megan in the back and, in one motion, lunges to Inez to tag out! Inez, receiving the hot tag, goes on the attack with a Slingshot Corkscrew Elbow Smash right to the face! Following a Savate Kick to the gut and a Head Slam into the top turnbuckle in a neutral corner, Inez climbs up to the middle rope and issues one…two…three…four…five…six…seven…eight…nine…TEN punches to the forehead before ascending to the top rope. Inez takes a quick look behind her…

…

…and then performs a Moonsault…into a Facecrusher to Megan on the way down! The crowd and commentators are awed by this new maneuver in the spectacled Cyber Girl…and Inez adds to it with another new maneuver, a Rolling Inverted DDT—holding onto Megan in an Inverted Facelock, lifting her…and rolling a full 360 degrees to plant the Family Guy gal onto the back of her head! Inez goes to the top rope after delivering the maneuver she calls the Cybrary Card…

…

…and she connects with a Frog Splash! Inez goes for the cover…

…

…but Lisa's there to break it up! Jackie runs in and takes Lisa to the outside with a Cactus Cross Body over the ropes…

…allowing Inez to get back onto the attack onto Megan; she lifts Megan for a Vertical Suplex…

…but Megan floats over and reverses it into a German Suplex attempt…

…

…that too gets countered by an end-around from Inez, who picks Megan up…

…

…and Inverted Suplexes her as she's standing near the ropes…and the momentum of the Suplex is enough to send both herself and Megan over the top rope and on top of their respective partners onto the arena floor, leaving all four women down!

It takes a good near-minute for anyone to full recuperate from that spatter…but the Cyber Girls are able to get back up and land a Poetry in Motion onto Meg, Jackie on all fours and Inez stepping off of her for the Calf Kick! Inez pushes Megan back into the ring…

…and now she goes for another Vertical Suplex…

…

…this time dropping the Suplex forward into a Double Knee Facebreaker! She drives Megan's head and face into the knees…

…but Megan HOLDS ON…grabbing Inez's legs…

…and pulling Inez off of the canvas with brute strength! Inez panics a tad from the sudden lift…

…

…but Jackie LeRange is there to knock Megan with an Enzuigiri, which brings her down forward and allows the Double Knee Facebreaker to connect, completing another one of Inez's new maneuvers, the Encryptor Chip! Megan is dazed…

…

…and Inez gets up, kicks Megan in the gut…

…

…and drops her with…a Twist of Fate! …And it takes a while, but once Jackie starts heading for the top rope, it becomes clear what the Cyber Girls are planning…and Jeremy on commentary notes that the Twist of Fate…was really an S.O.S.…

…

…and Jackie's next move…

…

…is the Colombian Splash—but Lisa pulls Megan out of the way by her leg! The Daughters of Destiny collect themselves on the outside while Jackie, missing the Colombian Splash, holds her abdomen in pain…

…

…and Inez, teeth gritted, attempts a Springboard Somersault Senton onto the Daughters…

…

…but Megan pushes Lisa and herself out of the way this time, leaving Inez to crash and burn! Once again the Daughters of Destiny regroup…and Lisa grins…

…

…as she pulls Inez Ramon up…

…

…and then drops her with a LisaDog directly onto the outside floor, planting her face-first! The yellow character winces a tad bit from the delivery, but eventually she rises…and she and Megan return to the ring to meet a groggy Jackie, who is starting to stand herself whilst clutching her ribcage…

…

…but she isn't standing for long as Megan and Lisa slam her with a Spear / Leg Lariat combination! Lisa gets up and ascends to the top rope in her team's corner…

…while Megan lifts up Jackie and places her in an Electric Chair…Lisa officially tagging in on Megan's shoulder…

…

…and the Daughters of Destiny drop Jackie with what they now call Kismet, their Doomsday Bulldog! Lisa turns over Jackie and covers her: 1…

2…

…

…3! The bell sounds, "Birthright" by Celldweller plays, and the Daughters of Destiny get to proclaim victory in their Tag Team debut and Tag Premier League Round Robin contest. The two leave the ring with arms raised, Megan with a confident sneer and Lisa shouting, "Start engraving that trophy, because it's ours! It's OURS!"

Meanwhile, the Cyber Girls slowly come to inside and outside of the ring, looking at each other and knowing that this hadn't been the best evening for PBS…and from here onward, if this was going to be what the Combine Cup was to the Dragon Kids, they couldn't afford to lose…

Female Wrestler of the Year vs. Female Shining Star of the Year: Zoe Payne vs. Jenny Wakeman

Jenny Wakeman, as she made clear, was adamant on keeping her Regal Rumble Females Championship match a one-on-one affair. She did NOT want a repeat of Pandemonium to happen because of a rogue bell ringing. Commissioner James Gordon, however, with Jenny participating in the Tag Premier League AND wanting the Females Championship to find a new owner, wanted things to be foolproof should Gwen Tennyson, heaven forbid, still be Champion. And putting someone who could potentially be in two matches in one evening up against the Alpha Bitch, to him, was a risk. He needed insurance. Zoe Payne's more-than-convincing words and argument from earlier in the program was enough for Commissioner Gordon to test the Teenage Robot but also to test Zoe in the same process. If Jenny won, thus giving her a second victor of the evening, it would assuage Gordon's concerns and thwart Zoe Payne and The END from getting a Title bid. But if Zoe won, Gordon promised to make an addition to the Championship Match.

And so, here we were: Jenny Wakeman versus Zoe Payne – Female Shining Star of the Year versus Female Wrestler of the Year. As both of them raised their FWAs above their heads in front of each other in dueling fashion, the magnitude of this meeting was made that much clearer. As Cris Collinsworth noted however, this was still Jenny Wakeman's second match of the night, and against a lethal girl like Zoe Payne, that just made the task that much more difficult. But the Teenage Robot was ready to take the challenge head-on.

The match begins with both girls trading leg kicks with each other—Jenny to Zoe, Zoe to Jenny. The battle of boots ends up in Zoe's favor, not just due to the striking advantage Cris claimed she had but also due to the stamina advantage everyone on commentary made mention of. Zoe clubs the back of Jenny Wakeman and carries her into a corner with a Running Corner Spinebuster. Zoe adds a series of Shoulder Barges in the corner, punches to the head, and a Biel Throw.

Jenny though manages to get some offense with a Dropkick to Zoe's knee…and then a Handstand into a Hurricanrana Driver! After Dropkicking Zoe as she's on all fours, Jenny attempts a Plancha…but Zoe gets out of the way, causing Jenny to…almost crash and burn, except the Nickelodeonstar is able to stick the landing onto her feet on the outside. Zoe attempts a Clothesline, but Jenny ducks it and throws a Savate Kick to Zoe's gut…that Zoe catches! Jenny is left one-legged…but she puts that one leg to good use by stepping off of the ring apron and drilling Zoe with an Enzuigiri! That dazes Zoe long enough…for Jenny to climb back onto the apron and execute a Springboard Cross Body!

Action returns to the ring moments later with Jenny giving Zoe four Leg Drops to the back of her head; a Front Suplex attempt by the Female Shining Star…connects, followed by a Shoot Kick to the chest, a run to the ropes and a Soccer Kick to the middle of the spine. The crowd notices Jenny building momentum and sides with her…but on her Diving Back Elbow attempt later on, Zoe Payne snatches her in mid-air, holds onto her…and CHUCKS her over the top rope and to the arena floor with a sickening splat! Zoe Payne sneers at the writhing Teenage Robot whose pain resonates with the entire building.

Outside of the ring, Zoe Payne makes Jenny's plight worse by lifting her up in a Pumphandle and ramming her into the ring post with a Gutbuster right into it. Zoe gives Jenny a series of knees into her back as well…before moving to the other end and placing Jenny in a Ring Post-Aided Reverse Bow and Arrow Hold! Zoe constricts Jenny's inner chassis and ribcage region with this move, holding it for fifteen seconds before Big Booting Jenny in the head, knocking her back down to the floor. And just as the commentators and crowd proceed to wonder how much this is going to affect Jenny for the duration of the match…they are given even MORE to think about with a Full Nelson Slam…Powerbomb…and Leg-Trap Chokeslam ALL delivered directly against the edge of the ring apron!

With Jenny back inside the ring, the Submission Specialist of the Year shows what provided her with that honor with a variety of submission holds to make Jenny's pain increase multiple-fold – a Pendulum Backbreaker that she held in for a Backbreaker submission…and then dropped into a Sidewalk Slam for a near-fall; an Abdominal Stretch aided and abetted by elbows to the body…that Jenny escapes out of with an Arm Drag only to get taken down hard once more via a Clothesline; an impressive Karelin Lift into a Gutwrench Bear Hug submission with Jenny above the air…that Jenny only escapes by squirming out and Schoolgirl Pinning her…but Zoe kicks out and then picks Jenny up from the ground deadlift-style into a Canadian Backbreaker Rack. Zoe hangs onto this submission for nearly half a minute…before running Jenny into a corner with a Running Inverted Powerslam. Zoe keeps Jenny in the corner and does more work with kicks to the spin and Elbow Smashes in addition. Zoe backs up and gives Jenny a Reverse Avalanche into her back…before applying a Butterfly Lock and rocking Jenny with Muay Thai Knees into her face and a Head Slam into the middle turnbuckle. Jenny flips out of the corner unceremoniously and sits down in front of the turnbuckles…which is the perfect place for her to land for Zoe's Payne Train Running Corner Knee…

…

…except Jenny Drop Toe Holds Zoe into the turnbuckle to stop her instead! With Zoe in the corner with her face against the second buckle, Jenny Dropkicks her in the back of the head…then adds a Slingshot Turnbuckle Dropkick to the back of the head as well. A Back Elbow to the face of Jenny from Zoe cuts off some of the momentum…but as Zoe turns around, Jenny runs into her with a Corner Cross Body that attains enough elevation to land her onto the apron where she can add a Rope-Aided Enzuigiri as well!

…

But as Jenny attempts a Springboard Clothesline, Zoe nails her out of the air with a Jumping Knee Strike! One Rydeen Bomb from the Hitwoman of the RR later…and the match is ALMOST over, but Jenny kicks out of the ensuing pin!

Zoe's assault continues even further with a Slingshot Suplex floated over into a Butterfly Lock, another submission. Jenny tries to wriggle free, but the CCW RR District Leader holds on…and even lifts Jenny up to give her a Butterfly Shoulder Breaker whilst maintaining control of the arms! Zoe performs a Butterfly Gator Roll, stands, and throws her across the ring via a Butterfly Suplex across the squared circle! Jenny tries to battle back after a Deadlift Tiger Suplex connects, the SSX veteran attacking methodically…but Jenny's punches from her knees…then from her feet…is hindered, broken, and crushed with a Military Press Slam!

The END's leader has Jenny supine…in perfect position for the Left Mark…

…

…but Jenny turns it into a Crucifix Pin just as the elbow comes down! Referee Vincent Perry counts 1…2…2.825 Zoe backward rolls to her feet…

…with Jenny attached to her…allowing her to turn it into a Fireman's Carry! Zoe Payne prepares to put the Teenage Robot in sleep mode…

…

…but Jenny counters…or rather TRIES to counter with an Inverted Frankensteiner; however, Zoe holds onto Jenny's feet…pulls her back up into an Electric Chair…

…

…grabs her robotic pigtails and turns the Electric Chair BACK into a Fireman's Carry! Zoe goes for the Take a Nap one more time…

…

…but Jenny counters in mid-fall into a DDT!

Jenny mounts herself a comeback after a struggle to get back to her feet, the toll of two matches—particularly this one right now—getting to her…and a Spinning Heel Kick blasts Zoe right in the jaw! Jenny delivers an Inverted Atomic Drop and then Front Dropkicks her into the ropes. At the ropes, Jenny gives Zoe one…three…five Knife Edge Chops to the chest…before an Irish Whip is reversed in Zoe's favor, sending Jenny back into the ropes…and Zoe goes for a Back Body Drop but Jenny counters with a Sunset Flip…that Zoe rolls through to her feet. Zoe goes for a Roundhouse Kick to Jenny's skull, but Jenny ducks it, Sweeps Zoe onto her back and nails a Standing Moonsault! Zoe sits up into a Shoot Kick to the chest, and Jenny goes to the ropes…

…to land a Springboard Corkscrew Flip Leg Drop! Jenny hooks a leg on the Hitwoman of the RR: 1…

2…

…

…2.87 Zoe kicks out!

Zoe tries to fight back with a Spinning Back Fist…but Jenny corrals the arm of Payne, turns it into a Wrist Lock…runs up a corner and delivers a Springboard Wrist Lock Hurricanrana! As Zoe gets back up, Jenny charges at her and scores with a Crucifix Headscissors…into a Victory Roll pinning combination! The referee goes down to count again…

…

…but Zoe kicks out again! Zoe is sitting up…and Jenny goes for a Shining Apprentice…

…

…but Zoe dodges it, and with Jenny landing prone on the mat, Zoe goes for the Payne-Killer! She goes for the arms after trapping the Nicktoon's legs…

…

…but Jenny manages to push off of the canvas and Victory Roll Zoe again to prevent the hold from being applied! This time, though, Zoe rolls through the Victory Roll attempt…stands…and goes for a Wheelbarrow Suplex…

…

…but Jenny turns that into a Wheelbarrow Bulldog! Jenny quickly gets back up…and takes advantage of the stunned Payne with an Emerald Flowsion! Jenny covers Zoe, hooking a leg…

…

…but it's yet another near-fall for the Teenage Robot!

Time passes…and Jenny has Zoe sitting on the top turnbuckle. The Female Shining Star of the Year tries a Super Hurricanrana to the Female Wrestler of the Year…

…

…but Zoe holds onto Jenny, preventing her from snapping it off…and instead pushes Jenny into a Superbomb flipped into a Facebuster onto the canvas! Jenny's midsection and face take the blow…

…

…and Zoe, as Jenny gets up, DIVES off of the top rope and gives Jenny a Diving Clothesline! Zoe comes back up with an impassioned YELL of fury, and the crowd's mixed reaction of "ZOE PAYNE!" chants and interspersed "SUCKS!" interjections from other fanatics fills up the arena. Zoe grabs Jenny next…

…

…and throws her into the steel ring post shoulder-first! Zoe pulls Jenny out from there and German Suplexes her HIGH and hard across the ring, forcing her into a seated position all the way into the opposite corner. Zoe shouts, "HERE COMES THE F**KING PAYNE!"…

…

…and SURGES ahead with the Payne Train into Jenny's face! Zoe pulls Jenny out and away…giving her room to add to the onslaught with the Left Mark! Zoe covers Jenny: 1…

2…

…

…2.899 Jenny gets her shoulder up! Zoe scowls…

…

…but about three-quarters of a minute later, she's setting Jenny up for the TAN…

…

…only for Jenny to elbow her way out of the Fireman's Carry. Jenny kicks Zoe in the legs…then gives her a Spinning Back Kick to the gut…

…

…but as she is about to run the ropes, Zoe grabs her from behind in an Inverted Facelock…

…

…elevates her BACK into a Fireman's Carry…

…

…and…has her Take a Nap CAUGHT by Jenny as the Teenage Robot grabs the leg on the way down…takes Zoe to the mat and applies an STF! The crowd pops upon seeing this well-performed seamless counter, chanting "JENNY! JENNY! JENNY! JENNY!" Zoe grits her teeth in the hold while Jenny beckons for Payne to tap out…as she yanks back as far as she can…

…

…and…Zoe grabs at Jenny's hands…tries to pry them away…

…

…and not only does so, but pinions those hands from her head to the mat, holding Jenny down while elbowing the back of her skull…

…before getting up, ending around and trying to lock in the Payne-Killer again! Jenny senses the danger she is in…and crawls away…

…

…forward rolling with a Bodyscissors Takedown…that sends Zoe onto the middle rope neck-first! The crowd realizes the position Zoe is in…

…

…and moments later, so does Jenny! Jenny gets to her feet and hits the ropes…

…

…only for Zoe to pop from the ropes and snatch the oncoming Jenny and DRILL her with an OUCH Effect! Zoe pins a turned-inside-out Jenny Wakeman: 1…

2…

…

…2.935 Jenny gets her shoulder up, much to the contempt of Payne!

An angry Zoe gets to her feet…the crowd chanting "LET'S GO ZOE! / XJ9!" against itself…and Zoe Kawada Kicks Jenny repeatedly in her face and forehead…followed by one…two…three hard One-Handed Facecrushers into the canvas, "almost Gigantic Spike-like", says Collinsworth. Zoe adds more debilitating offense, including an Inverted Front Slam Clutch turned into a Swinging Rib Breaker…

…MORE Kawada Kicks…

…

…and ONE…

…TWO…

…

…ALMOST three Repeated Powerbombs in succession, but on the third attempt, Jenny prevents it with punches to the face. Jenny fights valiantly and relentlessly…but Payne refuses to be denied…

…

…and goes for a Running Buckle Bomb…throwing Jenny into a corner…and the Teenage Robot lands SITTING atop the top turnbuckle! She has to lean herself back forward to prevent herself from falling out of the ring…

…but after a fisticuffs exchange, a Zoe Spinning Back Fist sends her crashing onto the ring apron! Jenny gets up there…and Zoe goes for an Outside-In Sleeper Suplex amidst Jenny's struggles…

…

…and…Jenny kicks her feet as Zoe lifts her inside the ring…

…

…and Wakeman ends up stomping onto Zoe's foot as she returns to ground level! That compromises Zoe's grip…

…

…and permits Jenny to, out of nowhere, deliver a Gear Grinder! Both women are down as this special match-up with Regal Rumble ramifications continues, the crowd in Auburn Hills on its feet…

…

…and Jenny stands…Zoe stands…

…

…and Jenny suddenly picks Zoe up and drops her with a DVD! Jenny gets to her feet again…

…

…and hits Zoe with a Shining Apprentice! That allows Jenny to get to the ring apron, adrenaline at a high inside…

…

…and Jenny Wakeman lands a Springboard 450 Splash! Jenny hooks both of Zoe's legs: 1…

2…

…

…2.9575 Zoe Payne kicks out! Jenny holds her head in disarray, all but SURE she had it right there!

Jenny sets Zoe up for the Jenny-Oop…but Zoe Payne lifts Jenny off of the mat for a Double Leg Slam…

…only to spin Jenny around into a Tombstone position…

…

…and then pop Jenny up from there, elevating her all the way up into a Torture Rack! The crowd actually POPS for this transition as Zoe shows how she got to Female Wrestler of the Year status, bending Jenny Wakeman almost in two! The SSX Demon makes Jenny her personal pretzel, and referee Vincent Perry checks to see if Jenny will yield…

…

…but the Teenage Robot hangs tough, refusing to give in just yet! Zoe bends her even FURTHER upon hearing this…

…

…and Jenny…thinking quick, spins out of the Torture Rack from Zoe's shoulders into a Tilt-a-Whirl Small Package! The ref, alert, counts 1…2…

…

…2.98 Zoe rolls back to her feet…WITH Jenny in her clutches, hoisting her for a Delayed Fisherman Suplex!

…

However, Jenny kicks Zoe in the top of the head to prevent such a fate. As Jenny stands on flat ground, Zoe attempts a Roundhouse Kick…but Jenny ducks and this time CONNECTS with the Inverted Frankensteiner! That sends Zoe backing into the ropes…

…

…and Jenny…runs the ropes…

…

…and hits Zoe with an XJ9 into her back while her opponent is standing up! It's a modification, but to the fans, a welcome one…

…as Jenny now goes to the ring apron…

…

…and Springboard Dropkicks Zoe in the back, sending her stumbling onto the middle rope throat-first! Jenny maintains her head of steam and hits the ropes one more time…

…

…and SCORES with the XJ9 to the face! Zoe Payne is down in the center of the ring, flat on her back…

…

…and the Teenage Robot DROPS onto her with a Springboard Frog Splash! With everybody in the arena cheering, Jenny pins Zoe…

…

…and just a SMIDGEON before three, Zoe rolls backwards…

…with Jenny Wakeman in her arms! Zoe STANDS UP with Jenny firmly grasped, and the crowd just LOSES it! Zoe drives three knees into Jenny's kidney area, then lifts her up into a Fireman's Carry from the Front Slam spot…

…

…and…Jenny avoids the TAN by getting to her feet—only to eat a Roundhouse Kick from Zoe! Zoe picks Jenny up a second time thereafter…

…

…and THIS TIME, Zoe connects with the Take a Nap! Down goes Jenny…and Zoe pins her: 1…

2…

…

…2.999 Jenny Wakeman gets her shoulder up! Zoe Payne's eyes just light up in utter disbelief and lividness as she glares MACHETES through the referee! Vincent Perry, hand quivering, reaffirms that it is only a near-fall again!

…

And with that knowledge…Zoe Payne takes a deep, agitated breath…

…

…puts Jenny onto her shoulders one more time…

…

…and…Jenny pops off of Zoe's shoulders and lands behind her; Zoe turns around and eats a kick to the gut…before Jenny attempts the Jenny-Oop again…

…

…only for Zoe to Backdrop Jenny…into a Sunset Flip!

…

However still, Zoe remains on her feet, standing her ground…and then she grabs Jenny by the throat with both hands and pulls her off of the mat…into a Reverse STO clutch, perfect positioning for the OUCH Effect…

…

…but Jenny reverses that, spins free…kicks Zoe in the gut…

…

…and not only hits the Jenny-Oop…but hits the Jenny-Oop onto Zoe, dropping her onto the middle rope neck-first in the process! This left Zoe leaning there…and Jenny, knowing this, hits the ropes…

…

…and…before rebounding, she gets hugged from behind by Mystique Sonia, who appears on the ring apron having run out from the back! Jenny is surprised and turns around in shock, seeing her partner…and wondering what's going on and why she was there. Sonia, letting go of Jenny and jumping back down to the floor, holds up her hands and simply says, "I'm only here for support, Jen! Don't worry about me; do your thing!" Jenny was rather baffled…

…

…but she goes for the XJ9 anyway…

…

…only for Zoe Payne to snatch her legs in the Tiger Feint Kick try, pulling Jenny away…and transitioning and planting Zoe with a Sit-Out Wheelbarrow Facebuster! From here, the SSX Demon applies the Payne-Killer, trapping the legs and finally getting the arms locked up in the Double Chickenwing! With Sonia watching in concern, Zoe does her best to tear the Teenage Robot asunder…and Jenny shakes her head, struggling in the grip…trying to hang on…

…

…but Zoe Payne shows no relent, no remorse! She pulls even more on the submission hold, Jenny's screams of pain loudening further…

…

…and eventually, Wakeman has no choice but to submit! The bell rings and Zoe Payne lets go of the Payne-Killer after giving Jenny seven more seconds to tap out even more…as the Rookie Revolutionary is declared victorious, much to the delight of Cris Collinsworth. Jeremy, meanwhile, brings up that Sonia's momentary appearance may have taken precious seconds away from Jenny to deliver the XJ9 and win…but Cris is quick to mention that the end result was never in any doubt regardless. Zoe Payne gets her hand raised…

…

…Mystique Sonia helps Jenny out of the ring and to the back…

…

…and Zoe…has something to say as she demands, and is granted, another microphone.

Zoe Payne, between pants, says that between CCW Ozone 1 and the present day, the name Zoe Payne has become synonymous with a number of attributes…from a wide of array of vicious strikes…to the most tormenting arsenal of submissions out of anyone in the business…to an unparalleled way with words that stirs the pot more often than otherwise…but the one trait of hers that gets overlooked even today is her savvy. She goes on to say that although by virtue of her making Jenny Wakeman (and here she claps her wrist to emphasize the point) tap out, the Regal Rumble Females Championship Match is slated to become a Triple Threat contest…she herself was not going to be the person being added to the match. "And that's not 100% by choice, although it IS with intent; it is by NECESSITY…" Zoe explains. She says that the debate on whether or not she can win the big one is not so much a debate as it is a series of rhetorical questions because if there's one thing that's been proven endlessly, it's that that Title should already BE around her waist. "But the story of the workhorse getting that elusive Title opportunity for herself…and then for the day to come when it's time for that match to take place…and SOMEONE out of the equation sticks themselves into her business and screws her right at the last second as it's ALL in her grasp…well, from Reggie Rocket…to Emmy herself, that story's been played out. And I'm not going to just transparently provide the stage for an encore of that to happen—no, that's not how it's gonna be. Not THIS time. This time, when I get my rightful Championship Match, it's gonna be on MY terms, MEANING that you're looking the woman who's going to lay claim to the title of Best of the Best at Pride & Glory…with a Diamond in the Mine Briefcase to boot. And it is through THAT…that I'm going to do what's been LONG overdue and at what I deem the right place and what I deem the right time: decorate myself with GOLD." This proclamation gets a mixed reaction of 60% cheers and 40% boos…though Zoe couldn't give a damn less. She simply keeps talking, adding that despite all of that, she wasn't going to make this victory over the 2014 Female Shining Star of the Year seem meaningless because of necessity. She won, she made Jenny Wakeman submit…and therefore, as merited, in the Females Title Match at the PPV, there would indeed be an END presence…

…

"…and that presence…will be Lucy…van…Pelt."

Zoe chucks the microphone down and exits the ring with these words, leaving everyone to recognize and ponder it all. The message, at the end of the day, was clear: Zoe Payne was going to get what was hers…and one way or another, the Females Championship was coming to The END.

Techno-Tongue Talk After the Match (Again)

Jenny paces around while Sonia is walking backstage, back to her locker room to where her belongings are…and eventually the Teenage Robot approaches the Heroine 108 with a look of dejection and bemusement merging together. Jenny talks to Sonia, saying that she didn't expect her to come out to the ring like that all of a sudden. "Not like I minded having a friend out there," Jenny says, "but I thought you were sticking to the back where I left you, and on top of that, it was pretty poor timing to show up there—I was about to deliver the XJ9!"

Sonia shifts her lips to the side and says, "…Well, I mean…I was TELLING you not to go for the move, but you went for it anyway! And then Zoe countered it! Maybe you should have listened…"

Jenny responds by noting that Zoe was on the ropes for a generous amount of time and, had she gone for the XJ9 earlier instead of dealing with the intruding Sonia, she could have connected and had a chance. "Why did you come out like that to get involved?" Jenny asks.

"Hey, I wanted to just, you know…check on you and all, see if you were okay," Sonia says. "It WAS your second match of the night, and between May, Dawn and…the Powerpuffs…you had to have been fatigued and a little hurt beforehand. But you STILL had to do the match with her, so…" Sonia shrugs.

Jenny frowns and shakes her head. She holds Sonia by the air shoulders. "Sone, I had an opportunity to lock a ONE-ON-ONE Title match for myself, and now it's GONE! It's gone! It's a Triple Threat again, and after Pandemonium, that's not what I wanted!"

Sonia says she understands…but Commissioner Gordon added that stipulation to the match with Zoe because of Jenny being in the TPL…which, as she emphasizes again, was JENNY'S idea…"so maybe this isn't MY fault, and really you brought it on yourself." Jenny's look at Sonia changes as she hears this, not exactly a fan of this remark on her part…but Sonia keeps talking, adding that Jenny should keep in mind that she still has a Title Match at Regal Rumble right now, and she didn't LOSE much over that much (making sure to "subtly" gesture to her own head and hair as she says this)…

…

"…and it's not like there is any SHAME in losing to ZOE PAYNE," Sonia states…and at THAT moment, Jenny, in her head, realizes what it is that Sonia is getting at, and why she did what she did, the significance of it. And that off-puts her FURTHER…

…

…before Sonia puts a hand on Jenny's shoulder and speaks: "Oh, but, uhhh…what was it? Ah! …Don't let this send you to oblivion, okay? Okay…?" Sonia, after this…concerned counsel, walks off to continue to her locker room, while Jenny watches her partner continue walking…and her hand almost clenches into a fist, but she keeps it open…twitching but still open for right now.

A Rocket Flares Up Even More

Reggie Rocket is hammering a fist against the closed office door of CCW Commissioner James Gordon, SHOUTING for him to open up because she has something to talk about NOW. She was ENRAGED, nearly denting the door…which prompts Annie Frazier, standing beside her, to warn her of the possible damage she could be doing to the natural elemental wood of the entrance. That only elicits a loud snarl from Rocket, who explains to Annie the gravity of this and "why [she's] so agg."

"The END gets in now; Zoe WON…the freaking donkey won—wonderful, wonderful as it is, right? And then she decides because she's ZOE FREAKING PAYNE or something that she can just call the shots and give swamp hog VAN PELT the shot now? Now SHE gets the Title match slot? And they want to barney about EMMY with Emily Elizabeth? Like THIS isn't politics? Like THIS isn't borderline tyrannical? It's f**kin' FOOBAR, Frazier, and you KNOW IT, right?!" Reggie yells. "Need I remind you, in case you need another reason, that THAT'S the girl who's heading into Diamond in the Mine instead of YOU?"

Annie frowns especially at this, knowing how close SHE was to that match…and sighing. "…You're right. I KNOW you're right. …I was just hoping you wouldn't take it out on the door. It has a life too, you know; it didn't do anything to US…or at least…anything like what WE have to do…"

Reggie continues pounding at the door, waiting for Gordon to open up already…while Annie suggests that maybe James is absent from his office at the moment…

…

…but before Annie or Reggie can hypothesize as to where else the Commissioner may be, they are blindsided by The incoming END, Bella Swan and Lucy van Pelt the first to take the scene as Lucy runs Reggie into a wall and Bella storms Annie with punches. Reggie starts fighting back on Lucy with Back Clubs and knees and punches…but a quick one-two punch to the gut and Gutwrench Suplex onto the floor slows Reggie down, and Bella catches a Frazier Crane Kick and throws her leg HARD against the brick wall, sending a shockwave before she gives Annie an STO! Bella and Lucy both mount Annie and Reggie with punches…and the latter two put their hands up to block and fight back…

…Frazier even able to catch one strike and flip it around into an Anaconda Vise! Annie yanks back on the submission, fighting back for dear life…

…

…but then she receives a HUGE Running Knee Strike from Zoe Payne, who had just returned from the ring to the back! Annie is left laying, Bella freed…while Reggie RAKES Lucy's eyes and starts throwing punches at her…until Zoe grabs Reggie by the head and hair as she is starting to get up, sending her FACE-FIRST into Commissioner Gordon's door with an OUCH Effect! Reggie is down now, moving significantly less…

…while Annie is starting to stand…just in time for Bella to wall jump and NAIL Annie with a Beautiful Nightmare she can't evade or catch this time! Annie is dazed…which allows Lucy to wipe her eyes, regain her vision and pummel Annie with a Birchwood Bullhammer! That sends Annie right towards Zoe, who picks her up onto the shoulders and DROPS her with a vicious TAN, sending her right beside Reggie on the cold, hard ground. The END all huddle together, inspecting their handiwork…

…while Commissioner Gordon NOW opens his door, saying he was fielding an important phone call—and then noticing the carnage that has played out outside of his office. Bella looks at the Commissioner, who sees Annie and Reggie's barely-mobile bodies…and says, "They wanted to say hi." With that, The END walks off, Zoe putting an arm around Lucy's shoulders along the way…while Gordon checks out Rocket and Frazier, the latter twitching involuntarily…and the latter busted open YET AGAIN from being sent into Gordon's door, which one can notice does indeed have a marking on it that was not there before. Reggie slowly lifts up her head, not very far from the ground…but with teeth gritted so hard, one could almost see and hear them shattering in her mouth.

Main Event: "The Alpha Bitch" Gwen Tennyson [c] vs. Sansa Stark for the CCW Females Championship

With Gwen's cult's attempts at overriding their goddess's second Title defense rendered moot and void, the Alpha Bitch has to put her gold on the line for the second time in the evening…with bruised body parts, a swollen jaw and mouth, and general exhaustion from her match with Carrie earlier in the night. Sansa Stark, given the Championship Match to replace the laid-out Julie Makimoto, is primed to do what she couldn't do at Pandemonium with her sister Arya: become Champion…FEMALES Champion to be precise.

And all signs were pointing to her pulling it off.

Gwen has a choice: play things tentatively or charge right in…and she appears to do the former…lulling Sansa into approaching…until she throws a rogue right hand at Sansa—that Stark sees coming as she steps back and away from it! Gwen grits her teeth—the ones she has left—and goes for a right hand again, but Sansa avoids once more. Gwen continues to look for the first strike…but eventually Sansa gives her an Uppercut to the gut, followed by a Snapmare and relentless Elbows to the clavicle, shoulders and neck of the Females Champ! After approximately thirty Elbows, Sansa Soccer Kicks Gwen in the spine and builds her upper hand. An Irish Whip from Sansa permits her to deliver a Pop-Up Flapjack, followed quickly by a kick to the side of Gwen's body as soon as she lands. Sansa maintains her offense…but Gwen, crafty as she can be, tries to sneak a win with an end-around into a Schoolgirl, and, later, a Small Package…neither of which getting the job done; and in fact, off of the Small Package, Sansa rolls to her feet and reverses it into a Corner Suplex, sending Gwen into the turnbuckles and folding her up!

With Gwen against the corner, Sansa runs at her and gives her an Inverted Face Wash, the running boot to the back of the head instead of the front. Sansa pulls Gwen up to the top rope…and then hits her with a Back Superplex! Sansa covers Gwen…but somehow only gets a near-fall as Gwen kicks out! While the crowd is surprised, Sansa opts to bring things to an end with a Cradle Piledriver attempt…but Gwen kicks her feet to prevent it and manages to pick Sansa up…into a Celtic Cross attempt…

…that Sansa in turn reverses into a Sunset Flip…then pulls Gwen up off of the canvas and drops her with an Alley-Oop instead! Gwen rests on her belly groaning in pain, her jaw hitting the mat on the way down…and Sansa hits the ropes and stomps on Gwen, hits the opposite ropes and stomps on her again. Sansa goes for and delivers a Gutwrench Suplex, and the crowd is enjoying watching Sansa in the ascendancy. Gwen tries everything she can to save her skin, throwing punches at Sansa's gut while kneeling…but Sansa backs away from one and gives Gwen a Kneelift to the face. Sansa pulls Gwen up for the Royal Butterfly…

…

…but Gwen manages to kick Sansa in the stomach to fight back, showing some signs of life. Gwen manages to get back to her feet and Dropkick Sansa in the knee while in the Butterfly position. Gwen issues one…two…three…four Dropkicks to Sansa's left knee…

…but Sansa Stark will not be denied, as she hangs onto Gwen, powers through and lifts Gwen back up, wrenching on the Elevated Butterfly Lock with a series of hops in the center of the ring…and in fact completes the Royal Butterfly! Sansa goes for another pinfall…but Gwen kicks out once again!

Sansa Stark shakes her head…but after her own surprise settles out, she goes to apply a Sharpshooter to Gwen Ten…and manages to get it locked in despite Gwen's swatting attempts to prevent it! Sansa pulls back on the submission maneuver…as Jonathan on commentary surmises the plausibility of an Auburn Hills Screwjob, even instructing referee Scott van Buren to "channel his inner Hebner"…

…

…but Gwen bites on her own hand to hold back the urge to quit! The Alpha Bitch scratches and claws at the canvas beneath her, wanting a reprieve…and managing to get it with a lunge at the middle rope, snatching it with urgency…

…and then, as Sansa reluctantly lets go of her hold, Gwen transfers into a surprise Tarantula to Sansa in the ropes! Gwen uses the entire five-count to her advantage because she needs to get something going for herself…and once she lets go, Gwen sits on the ring apron and catches her breath. Sansa holds her right shoulder and ambles over to Gwen, albeit with an ache…and Gwen receives her with a Stunner Hotshot, holding onto her head and neck on the way down! Gwen holds onto the modified Cravate…hits another…then ANOTHER Stunner Hotshot…then leaps back over the ropes and into the ring, landing behind Sansa…and gives her a surprise Magic Backbreaker!

With Sansa down, holding onto her back…Gwen goes for the Alakazam…

…

…but Sansa lifts Gwen up and counters it into a Spinebuster! From here, Sansa wants another Sharpshooter…but Gwen puts up more of a fight to keep it from getting locked in, already knowing the pain of the maneuver once before. Sansa bends down to give Gwen punches to the ailing mouth…but Gwen snags a handful of Sansa's hair and yanks at it to deter her long enough to lose progress…and allow the Champion to battle back with an Alpha Bitch Slap! One rise and Dropkick from Gwen later, the self-professed goddess is heading for the top rope…

…

…but Gwen's Diving Leg Drop is errant too! It seems that everything Gwen does gets her only momentary offense, but delays the inevitable each time, as Al Michaels notes! Sansa Stark capitalizes quickly with a Full Nelson Bomb…and transition and turnaround into a Queen Suplex! Sansa flashes a half-smirk half-scowl, enjoying a position few get to enjoy…

…and she enjoys it even more by picking Gwen up and flinging her into the turnbuckles with a Turnbuckle Crucifix Powerbomb! Gwen bounces off of the buckles with a yell…and then gets picked up and dropped in the center of the ring with a Rolling Fireman's Carry Slam! Sansa stands…measures the groggy Tennyson as she begins to stand, the crowd on its feet as well…

…

…but on the Lannister Kick from Sansa, Gwen moves and raises her arms to shield her face…causing Sansa to kick the air and her breadbasket to make a full-on collision with Gwen's blocking arms! Sansa goes down covering her pelvic area, and the Auburn Hills crowd IMMEDIATELY jumps on this, crying out for a DQ for a Low Blow…but Gwen adamantly shouts, "I WAS BLOCKING MY FACE! SHE DID THAT TO HERSELF! NOT MY FAULT! NOT MY FAULT—I WAS PROTECTING MYSELF ONLY!"

…

…To the dismay of the audience, referee Scott van Buren elects not to call for the DQ, as it was not an offensive maneuver from Gwen that caused the inadvertent low strike…and Gwen takes advantage by quickly knocking Sansa down as she tries to get up with a huge Clothesline! And for the first time in the contest…Gwen actually has firm control.

Gwen maintains this firm control with punches to the forehead, Elbow Drops, and knees to the side of Sansa's head, making sure to wear her down. Then, Gwen gives her a series of more Elbow Drops to the stomach, then stomps to the stomach as well…and then stomps to the right leg and left leg of the Lady of Winterfell respectively, screaming about how a goddess was not meant to be dominated…and now it was HER turn to do what she does best. Gwen continues her offensive spree with three Facebusters against the elder Stark Sister…followed by a Jumping Knee Drop to the back of the head. Gwen hits the ropes and delivers a Sliding Dropkick to the right side of Sansa's face…before hitting the opposite ropes and hitting a Sliding Dropkick to the left side, then a Leg Drop to the back of Sansa's neck. Gwen motions for Sansa to try to stand…and as she gets to her knees, Gwen delivers a Running Cross Body to her back, putting her down face and chest-first into the canvas! More elbows to the side of Sansa's head ensue…and Gwen allows Sansa to try standing up again. Gwen waits…and this time Sansa gets to one knee…before Gwen drops her with a Leg Drop Bulldog! Gwen splays her arms as it's her turn to take delight in all of this. As Sansa starts to try standing up again…Gwen positions herself on the middle rope…and Missile Dropkicks Sansa in the back of her head as she gets to her knees again. This time, the roles are reversed; Gwen isn't letting Sansa get out of the blocks…

…and as Sansa tries to use the ropes to pull herself up, that trend continues as Gwen slides between her legs and trips her by the legs, pulling her out of the ring. Gwen yanks Sansa hard onto her back on the ringside floor…and Catapults her into a barricade, leaving Sansa to fall gut-first!

Sansa coughs profusely and tries to recover…but Gwen runs into her with a High Knee that causes Sansa to fly over the barricade and into the crowd! Gwen stands atop the security wall and takes a moment to hold up one finger for First and Only as the crowd boos…and every attempt by Sansa to pull herself up by the wall is met by a stomp onto her hand…until Sansa grabs Gwen's leg and PULLS her, causing the Alpha Bitch to fall spine-first onto the top of the barricade! Al notes that Gwen is getting TOO cocky for her own good, being the one who's in her second match of the night…while Jonathan muses that Gwen just can't help herself, and maybe that's good at the end of the day because it makes the fall so much sweeter to see knowing how much pride preceded it. As Gwen struggles to stand…Sansa drills her with a Roundhouse Kick from the other end of the wall out of nowhere! After a moment, Sansa grabs Gwen by the shoulders…and the Lady of Winterfell gives Gwen a dozen Overhand Chops to the chest, shades of Sheamus's Beats of the Bodhran…before clutching Gwen in an Elevated Double Chicken Wing…and dropping her with a Facebuster onto the floor. With Gwen writhing, Sansa tries to climb back over the barricade to the ringside area again…but Gwen snaps up, grabs Sansa by an arm, and yanks her into an Arm Drag off of the barricade into the ring apron, Sansa's back smacking the edge of the ring frame with a vengeance!

Gwen sits down against the barricade again, this impact setting in as she catches her breath. Gwen picks Sansa back up and pushes her inside the ring…delivering a Vaulting Knee Stomp to the middle of the spine along the way. Gwen holds her knee onto Sansa's back and applies a Sleeper Hold on the canvas, making sure to rake her arm across Sansa's face a few times before cinching the hold right in. Gwen pulls back on the Sleeper, wrenching on Sansa's back as well…but Sansa is not willing to quit. Gwen, seeing this, rakes her arm across Sansa's face a few more times before reapplying the hold…

…

…but Sansa from here employs a very adept counter, reaching back, grabbing Gwen's head and performing a Modified Snapmare that puts Gwen's shoulders down and allows Sansa to hook one leg and pin the Champ! Referee Scott van Buren counts the fall…but First and Only remains alive as a surprised Gwen kicks out! Gwen immediately stands, and expresses her distaste for recent events with a Double Foot Stomp to the back of Sansa's head, bashing her into the canvas! Sansa's attempt to kneel after this is thwarted by an Enzuigiri. Gwen later goes for a Running Crucifix Powerbomb…and unlike against Carrie White earlier, she connects! Gwen goes into a cover of her own…but Sansa kicks out!

Gwen goes for a Reverse Bloody Sunday onto Sansa, shades of Prince Devitt…but Sansa drops to her knees and powers up to her feet…with Gwen in an Oklahoma position! Sansa carries Gwen across the ring…and drops her with a Running Powerslam! Both women have to catch their bearings briefly…but now it is Sansa taking over with a series of Clotheslines and Polish Hammers to the chest, then a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker…landed and then spun into a Tilt-a-Whirl Uranage Slam! THAT move gets a loud pop from the crowd! Moments later, Sansa picks Gwen up…and gives her a Samoan Drop that gets a near-fall.

A Super Falcon Arrow from Sansa Stark to Gwen Ten from the corner to the center of the ring ALSO gets a near fall as the elder Stark Sister does more and more to bring the bout closer to an end. Sansa wonders to herself just how Gwen could be surviving through all of this…but one Lady Slayer could bring it all to a conclusion. Sansa applies the Rear Waist Lock…spins it into a Wrist Lock…and goes for the Short-Arm Lariat…

…

…but Gwen gives Sansa a Big Boot to block it! Sansa staggers back, staying on her feet…and Gwen runs into Sansa with a Spear attempt that Sansa ABSORBS, catching Gwen in a Front Facelock…and turning it into a Brainbuster! Sansa gets to her feet as Gwen proceeds to rise…

…

…and as Gwen sits up she eats a BIG Shining Wizard to the face, followed up by a SECOND one as Gwen gets to her knees! Sansa covers Gwen after these two hard strikes…but Gwen gets her shoulder up!

Sansa, shaking her head and scowling, looks down at the Females Champion…gives her two stomps to the chest…and then starts walking to a corner and climbing to the top rope. Sansa stays on the top turnbuckle…measures her target…

…

…and goes for a Shooting Star Press…but Gwen rolls out of harm's way! Sansa lands onto her feet somehow…but takes a Russian Leg Sweep from Gwen from behind that sends her into the turnbuckles! Gwen takes some time to capture her breath again…before crawling some ways away from Sansa and raising her hands, shouting, "I'M MAKING HISTORY!" before running into Sansa with a Kneecapitation…then a second Kneecapitation…then a THIRD Kneecapitation…then a FOURTH Kneecapitation…then a FIFTH Kneecapitation! Sansa drops to a seated position…and Gwen, fighting for her life, gives Sansa a SIXTH Kneecapitation into her shoulders! Gwen, like a ferocious animal, just keeps on coming at Sansa with knees, delivering Kneecapitations SEVEN…EIGHT…and NINE into Sansa as she is sitting! The Lady of Winterfell's eyes look glazed over…and Gwen just curses aloud as Sansa pulls herself up one more time…

…

…and Gwen runs to give Sansa a TENTH Kneecapitation as she gets up…

…but on this one, Sansa CATCHES Gwen's knees and holds her in the air! Gwen's eyes go wide as she realizes she's been caught…and she can't imagine HOW…

…

…but Sansa…from holding onto Gwen's legs…pushes her down so she is upside-down in the Game of Thrones character's clutches…

…now into PILEDRIVER position…as Gwen flails her arms in utter disbelief…

…

…and Sansa…steps over both of Gwen's arms and plants her with a Belly-to-Back Mat Slam…before rolling back to her feet while STILL HANGING ON…

…

…grabs Gwen Gotch-Style and delivers the Cradle Piledriver! Both girls are down as the punishment of the match sets in…but the Lady of Winterfell, after thirty seconds, is able to turn Gwen over and pin her…

…

…but the Alpha Bitch kicks out in the nick of time!

Everyone in the building is either upset or livid, knowing that this matchup continues and that First and Only is SOMEHOW not over yet! Sansa gives Gwen one more glare, one more look…

…

…picks her up…holds her from behind…

…

…spins her out…

…

…and…Gwen ducks the Lady Slayer, runs up a corner…

…performs a Springboard Moonsault from the middle rope…lands onto her feet and grabs Sansa by the head in a Front Facelock and turns that into the Alakazam! Cris Collinsworth loses it as he praises this adept and unbelievable counter! And Gwen…getting her shot in…the one shot she needed…

…

…covers Sansa…and gets the 1…2…

…

…2.9975 Sansa gets her shoulder up! Gwen is thunderstruck; her ace in the hole didn't pan out, as Sansa is still alive! Gwen's hands start to shake…as she looks down at Sansa Stark…her resilience becoming more and more vexing as she watches…

…

…and the Alpha Bitch waits for Sansa to rise…stamping her foot with gritted teeth. She was NOT going to allow Sansa to ruin all of this all for her…

…

…and Sansa…gets to her feet…

…

…and walks RIGHT into Kennelly's Kiss! Gwen even blows a kiss to the motionless body of the Lady of Winterfell before going down for another pin…

…

…but for the second time, Sansa kicks out, and Gwen pitches an absolute fit! Gwen tenderizes the mat with her fists, then goes to a neutral corner and kicks the bottom turnbuckle and punches the top one, leaving a streak of blood as she walks around the ring, oozing it from her nether region. Gwen flops to her back and bangs the back of her head against the ground, then Headbutts the canvas, then punches it more, then gets up, runs the ropes endlessly for ten seconds before dropping to her knees and just SCREAMING at the top of her lungs, all but COMPLETELY unraveling before everybody. The Females Champion picks Sansa up…

…

…and places her onto the top rope, onto the top turnbuckle before climbing up after her. Gwen, after a struggle and more cursing, goes for a SUPER Alakazam this time…

…

…but Sansa blocks it…fights back with Elbow Strikes to the sides of Gwen's head…

…

…and then Clotheslines Gwen off of the turnbuckles and back to the canvas! Gwen tumbles…and then stumbles back to stand…

…

…and Sansa leaps off of the top rope and gives Gwen an AMAZING Diving Shooting Star Clothesline! The crowd is absolutely IN AWE of this show of athleticism from Sansa, as the daughter of Eddard Stark feels herself closing in. She picks Gwen Tennyson up…

…

…goes for the Lady Slayer…

…

…and…has her Wrist Lock reversed! Gwen attempts to turn it into a Bloody Sunday, an Arm-Hook version of the Alakazam…

…

…but Sansa twists the arm right back…

…

…and…before swinging the Lady Slayer, Gwen pokes Sansa in the eyes! Gwen sneers, and grabs the doubled-over Stark…

…

…and goes for the Hocus Pocus…

…

…but Sansa breaks out of the Back-to-Back Double Underhook and pushes Gwen…pulls her back…

…

…and connects with the Lady Slayer, turning Gwendolyn inside-out! Gwen lands onto her chest…MOTIONLESS…

…

…and Sansa Stark turns her over and covers! Referee Scott van Buren counts 1…

2…

…

…2.9995 Gwen gets her foot onto the bottom rope, and van Buren sees it, calling for the rope break as a result! The crowd initially EXPLODES into cheers, thinking that there was a three-count, not seeing Gwen lift up her shoulder…but Sansa's clutching of her hair and glaring at the referee along with van Buren pointing to the ropes lets the crowd know that the Females Championship has NOT changed hands, the rope break preventing it from happening! Sansa lets out a grievous SCREAM as she mentally beats herself up for her mistake. She asks herself what has to be done NOW…knowing that she HAS TO be close…

…

…and she rolls to the outside of the ring…looks down…

…

…and the Lady of Winterfell starts to pry the ringside matting off of the floor, revealing the pure concrete underneath it! Sansa moves the pads away from the ground, towards the barricade, towards the steel ring steps…and then Sansa pulls Gwen by the legs out of the ring, right in front of the exposed ground. The elder Stark Sister pulls Gwendolyn up…

…

…and hooks her arms in a Butterfly Hold, with the Standing Headscissors in addition. Sansa lifts Gwen up…

…

…but her possible Tiger Driver attempt onto the concrete floor is hindered…stalled…prohibited…

…

…and ultimately broken up by Gwen ramming Sansa's back into the edge of the ring apron once…twice…three times! On the third time, Sansa loses her hold on Gwen's arms…

…

…and Gwen picks Sansa up over the shoulder…

…

…and SHE drops Sansa onto the concrete flooring with a Celtic Cross! Sansa is put onto the back of her head with a desperate vengeance, Gwen reeling on the ground as well in front of a worried crowd, letting out a few coughs…

…

…but Gwen, after thirty-five seconds, uses the security barricade to stand herself up…before picking Sansa up and shoving her back inside the ring. Once Gwen returns to the squared circle as well, Sansa…is barely moving…

…

…and …and makes a slow cutthroat gesture…reminiscent of someone ELSE…

…

…before picking Sansa up…in a Pumphandle position…

…

…hoisting her up, holding her upside down…

…

…and giving Sansa Stark a TOMBSTONE FROM HELL! Gwen looks up to the sky with arms splayed…an exulting look on her face…before putting Sansa's arms over her shoulders in Deadman's position, pinning her with her tongue hanging out…and the ref has no choice but to count: 1…

2…

…

…2.99985 Sansa gets her shoulders up, and the entire building is FLABBERGASTED—the crowd having compromised its hope, and Gwen Tennyson thinking it was already all over but the shouting! Gwen's eyes bug out of her head as rather than a tantrum, Gwen is now just FROZEN with her eyes poking nearly out of their sockets. Gwen wipes her face….wipes it again…wipes it one more time…and slaps her own face repeatedly before slinking backwards into a corner, Sansa holding her neck but still starting to move on the mat.

…

Gwen starts to look across the ring…and secretly plot, secretly await…

…

…and…as Sansa stands…and turns around…

…

…Gwen charges for a Spear…

…

…only to collapse before she can get to her! The rigor of being in two matches as impactful as these was catching up to her now…and Sansa, seeing Gwen vulnerable, wastes no time in BLASTING her with a Lannister Kick! Gwen spills backward, reverse somersaulting from the impact of the maneuver…

…and Sansa looks around…looks above…circles the shellacked Females Champ of the World…

…

…and Sansa walks over to the Alpha Bitch…picks Gwen up…

…

…applies the Double Wrist Lock from the rear…backswings her outward, other arm ready…

…

…but when Gwen gets whipped out, on the backswing she gives Sansa a thumb to the eye! Sansa is blinded…

…and Gwen zips around Sansa's body to execute a Schoolgirl Pin…while snatching a hold of Stark's tights! Referee Scott van Buren drops down to count: 1…

2…

…

…3! And Gwen Tennyson RETAINS the CCW Females Championship for the SECOND TIME in the night! No words can adequately describe the heat in the building; it's practically Chernobyl in America! But Gwen Tennyson just finds it the perfect background noise to her triumph, grabbing her Title Belt and holding it up high and proudly. The pressure was off…and with the pressure off, it was indignant gloating time.

"TRY HARDER, GORDON! I DARE YOU! TRY AGAIN AFTER SEEING THIS! YOU WILL NEVER STOP ME! I AM INVINCIBLE!" Gwen backs up the ramp and shouts with a semi-smirk, exhausted but victorious, adrenaline settling within her as it all starts to come together. "PUT THE WHOLE WORLD AGAINST ME, AND I'LL WIN IT EVERY TIME!" The crowd was NOT HAPPY…

…

…but the unhappiest person is right behind Gwen…Arya Stark. The younger Stark isn't too pleased with Gwen effectively screwing over her sister, the rake of the eyes and the pulling of the tights sealing that deal…and as Gwen turns around and sees her, she instinctively backs away…

…

…before throwing a punch, only for Arya to block it and Shoot Kick her in the chest! Gwen falls back, and Arya goes after her with strike upon strike, kicking her against the ring apron before using her boot to choke Gwen against the edge of the ring and Head Slamming her into the apron once…twice…thrice…and then gives her an Exploder Suplex into the steel ring steps!

Arya pushes Gwen back inside the ring…and gives her a Springboard Double Foot Stomp to the chest! She runs over to Sansa…and tells her that the Starks aren't leaving the ring without giving Gwen Ten a wintry sendoff. With that, Sansa nods…and as Gwen pulls herself together in a corner, Arya BLASTS her with a Flying Needle! Gwen recoils towards Sansa, who picks Gwen up in a Backdrop Driver position…and Arya compounds the maneuver with a Jumping Bulldog Lariat as well!

The Stark Sisters pull Gwen Tennyson up…and they go for Chasing the Direwolf…

…

…but before they can level the Alpha Bitch, they are swarmed by eight members of Gwen Tennyson's cult! The Stark Sisters do their damnedest to fight back, but with so many druids eventually they are slowed down…and once Kai Green hits the ring and delivers a Springboard 720 Gamengiri to Sansa Stark, the advantage is well in the cult's hand…

…

…until Koldblooded runs down to the ring! Skarlet and Mileena hit the ring with steel chairs in their hands, whacking away at anything with a cloak! Cult members go down left and right, leaving Gwen Tennyson groggy in the middle of the ring while Arya Stark Shoot Kicks Kai Green in the chest repeatedly in a corner, followed by Forearm Smashes and even a Headbutt. Arya then grabs Kai by the head and prepares to step off of the middle turnbuckle to turn it into a Tornado DDT into the Guillotine, dubbed Eddard's Guillotine…

…

…while Mileena and Skarlet measure Gwen Ten with chairs in hand, thinking Conchairto! The two Kombatants raise their chairs…

…

…while Kai Green…counters Arya's Guillotine try…

…shoving her away…causing her to knock Gwen Tennyson away inadvertently…

…

…causing Mileena and Skarlet's Conchairto to his Arya instead of Gwen! The younger Stark is down, clutching her head severely…while Koldblooded look at Arya in deep concern, the whole thing being an accident just like Pandemonium…

…

…and then, Kai grabs Mileena from behind and drops him with the Revelation! Skarlet sees this and tries to pursue Kai, but one of the downed cult members grabs her feet, tripping her up…

…

…and allowing Kai to grab her and give her a Running Jumping Neckbreaker! Kai helps Gwen Tennyson up while another druid hands her the Females Championship Belt…and as Gwen stands, she notices Skarlet and Sansa starting to slowly get up. Gwen grips her gold tightly…and runs them BOTH down one after another with Belt shots to the face! Kai Green and Gwen's cult, recollecting themselves slowly, nod and applaud as they are the only ones standing…

…

…but that isn't enough for the Alpha Bitch, who, to the chagrin of the audience, picks up a microphone. She growls that she is sick and tired of the running gag of her moments of glory being undermined for everyone else's amusement. It happened at the FWAs when she won Villainess of the Year and Emmy won Heroine of the Year immediately afterward…it happened when she went 4-0 at the FWAs and then got driven through a spotlight…it happened earlier in the night after she beat Carrie White…but it WOULD NOT happen now, she vows, after she had just done what NO OTHER CCW CHAMPION had done before her and defended her Championship twice in the same night. And for even the effort to do so being put forth…now more than ever with the shape of the horizon…SOMEONE had to be her lamb. She then looks around the ring…and starts pointing to the bodies of Sansa, Arya, Skarlet and Mileena. "Eenie…meenie…minie…moe…"

…

Twenty seconds later, after an Eenie Meenie Minie Moe recital wheel…

…

…Gwen's finger ends up on Arya Stark. She looks to her disciples and gives them the nod. Two druids walk over to her and push her out of the ring, carrying her to the steel ring steps…

…while two more druids pick up said steel steps from their base and moves the base out of the way, leaving the ring post bare. Gwen glares at Arya, the girl who tried to ruin her moment in her eyes…tells the druids to put the steel steps to Arya's neck…

…

…and with their assistance, Gwen pushes Arya into the steel ring post, driving the steel steps into the post and jamming Arya's windpipe on the recoil! Arya doesn't even have the ability to yell out as she drops to the ground, clutching her neck in agony as she is having active trouble breathing, her windpipe SHATTERED.

Gwen Tennyson sneers at the writhing Arya Stark…and one of the druids swipes away the camera from a nearby cameraman, pushing him down and then positioning the camera onto Gwen and the downed Arya. Gwen puts a boot onto Arya's throat…and says into the camera, "MY PRIDE…MY GLORY…"

…

And then she STOMPS onto Arya's throat, an audible CRACK being heard up close on camera as her foot is driven into Stark's trachea! Arya wheezes heavily, her own breathing mechanisms failing her as the Alpha Bitch looks down at the younger Stark sibling with a stoic glare…while Kai Green has a sick, unconcealed grin of glee on her face as she does the sign of the cross with her hand. The cult eventually makes its way collectively up the ramp…

…while Commissioner Gordon walks onto the stage with a look of pure anger in his face. Gwen meets him on the apron and smirks, as if to say, "What now?" She repeats to him words of earlier, "What happens when you're out of heroes?"

And Gordon simply replies, "Gwendolyn…this is a state of emergency…and mark my words – your highway to Hell…has only gotten STARTED."

Gwen scowls…briefly before giving Gordon another smile—a more unhinged one this time around—before taking her leave with herself, Kai Green and her cult (Kai exchanging a glance of her own at the Commissioner too before exiting)…leaving Gordon to walk down the ramp to check on Arya. The recovering Koldblooded and Sansa Stark are joined by him as well as medical technicians as they all rush over to see the condition of Arya, whose troubles breathing have only worsened. EMTs arrive with a stretcher and an oxygen mask, and they are seen treating Arya while Sansa looks at her sister with a look of silent and bitter distress…and Koldblooded look at each other and at Sansa almost with guilty appearances themselves for their part in this, the errant Conchairto being Gwen's opening…

And with that scene, CCW XX 22 comes to an official end.

That does it for this show! I think I may stick with a showcap form close to this for future episodes including Ozone 42 coming up, as it is fresh and amenable. I hope you enjoyed the show! My next upload here, FYI, will be the abovementioned (somewhere) house show which will contain the last two TPL Round Robin Matches for the first cycle of bouts, so you can all follow along with the standings (which I will likely also post in the News Thread on the Fiction Wrestling Multiverse Forum as well).

Well, that just about does it for now! Again, hope you enjoyed, and until next time, this is Ninja Cato saying E yi zaande!
