Elite Eight
Twenty-two of the thirty participants have already been eliminated from the competition. Only Awesome Kong, Beth Phoenix, Cammy, Jaycee, Michelle Chang, Reiko Hinomoto, Sakura Hagiwara and Taryn Terrell remained in the ring. The eight competitors were able to last this long in the Ryona Rumble. There's no telling which one of these eight women would claim victory of this brutal and grueling competition, or which one of them would be eliminated next.
Speaking of which, the most recent competitors who had been thrown out of the ring were Nina and Anna Williams. It took them a while to figure out that they are no longer in the competition. The brunette massaged her aching spine after suffering a hard bump from the ring apron. As for Nina Williams, the blonde rubbed her chin, searching for any missing teeth. Even though her mandible remained intact, she felt the full force of Jaycee's superkick.
It wasn't long before the Williams sisters spotted each other lying on the arena floor. Now that they're out of the Ryona Rumble, ruthlessly destroying each other has suddenly become Nina's and Anna's number one priority. And the crowd loved it when the Williams sisters went at each other. Most of them are well aware of the rivalry these two ladies have shared and they enjoy seeing them tear each other apart.
The two women started off the brawl by pouncing on each other and grabbing their sister's hair. Anna Williams tried to take out a small knife tucked underneath her leggings, but Nina Williams slapped the blade out of her sibling's hand and got in a mount position. The blonde bombshell grabbed her sister by the head and ruthlessly started to pound Anna's head into the ground like a hammer.
"Awesome! We got a catfight on our hands! We got a catfight! Get the cameras rolling, folks! This is some good stuff here!"
"It's obvious that Nina and Anna Williams are not concerned about being eliminated from the Ryona Rumble! Right now, they just want to tear each other's throats out! I love sibling rivalries! It doesn't matter who wins or loses! Because in the end, we win!"
"This is probably becoming dangerous, Ray! Let's not forget that there are people in the arena who might be in the crossfire! Someone get security out here right now!"
Before long, about eight security officers appeared on the scene to separate the siblings. The audience showered the guards with thunderous jeers. The security team quickly separated Nina and Anna Williams and put the handcuffs around their wrists to prevent them from resisting. The brunette glowered at her sister and shook her head, wordlessly telling her that this isn't over and she will get the last laugh.
But Nina Williams wasn't going to let a pair of handcuffs stop her from brutalizing her sibling. She burst free from the security officers' grip and dashed toward Anna Williams. The blonde bombshell ran toward her sister, jumped up and wrapped her leg around the brunette's neck, knocking her sibling down to the floor with a vicious leg lariat. Following the attack, Nina Williams scissored her legs around Anna's throat, trying to choke out her rival.
With both of her hands cuffed behind her back, it was difficult for the brunette to remove her sibling's legs off of her neck. Anna Williams kicked her legs about and flopped on the floor, trying to break free. But all of her efforts were futile. Nina Williams would've put her sister to sleep, if more security officers hadn't intervened. About half of the guards pounced on the blonde bombshell. It took every one of them to remove the Irish woman off of the nearly unconscious Anna Williams.
Feeling like her work was done, Nina allowed the security team to escort her out of the arena. The blonde took one last look at her dazed sister and gave her a sadistic smirk. It feels good to getting the last laugh on her rival. While one half of the security guards took Nina toward the north exits, the other half escorted Anna Williams toward the south exits. The last thing they want was for these two to go at it again when there's other people involved.
"Well, that was entertaining, to say the least! Can't believe it took almost the whole security team to keep Nina and Anna Williams away from each other!"
"I have no comment about that, Ray! Anyway, let's move back to the ring! We are now down to eight competitors left! We're almost at the end of the Ryona Rumble match! Who will have their arms raised in victory?"
After enjoying the catfight show that Nina and Anna Williams had put on, Jaycee and Michelle Chang exchanged high fives with each other. With the two of them working together, there's not a person in the ring that can throw them out of the ring. The mother-daughter scouted who's left in the ring, deciding who they should eliminate next. Fortunately for them, everyone is either on their backs or trying to catch their breath near the turnbuckle. This gives them a huge advantage.
Of course, the obvious choice the fourteenth and sixteenth entrant decided to go after Sakura Hagiwara, who was lying spread on the mat. Both Jaycee and Michelle Chang made their way toward the injured teenage idol, grabbed her by the hair and brought her to a standing position. The two then lifted the helpless Japanese wrestler on their shoulders and moved toward the edge of the ring, ready to throw the first entrant out of the competition and end her fantastic run in the Ryona Rumble.
And once again, Sakura Hagiwara found a way to save herself from being tossed out of the ring. Just when Michelle Chang and Jaycee were about to throw her out, the seventeen year old girl reached out, grabbed on to the top rope and hung on as tight as she could. The fourteenth and sixteenth entrant tried to toss their opponent out of the squared circle, but Hagiwara hung on like her life depended on it.
Because there was still some fight left in the Japanese wrestler, the mother-daughter decided to do some more damage to the teenage idol, despite the fact that she had took enough punishment already. First, they let Hagiwara down on the mat. But before she could get back in the fight, Michelle Chang put her in an Argentine backbreaker rack position. As the sixteenth entrant made her way back to the middle of the ring, Jaycee stood beside her partner, a few feet away from Sakura's legs.
Suddenly, Michelle Chang then pushed her opponent off her shoulders, flipping the seventeen year old girl toward her the masked wrestler. But Jaycee reacted in the nick of time. As her partner completed the Reverse Thrown Inverted Death Valley Driver, the luchadora jumped, grabbed the top of Sakura's head and transitioned into a sitting position, adding a Sitout Facebuster to the combination. The Japanese wrestler landed painfully on her midsection and face, causing her to black out.
"Unbelievable double team move their, Al! I've never seen a combination like that in my life!"
"That's what you can expect from Jaycee and Michelle Chang! Not only they can work together in sync, but they can also pull off some of the most fascinating double teams we'll ever see!"
Just as the luchadora returned to a vertical base, she felt someone grabbing her by the head. Reiko Hinomoto had already gotten back to her feet and was seeking to eliminate the fourteenth entrant. The Zero Fighter shuffled toward the edge of the ring and threw her opponent over the top rope. But the twentieth entrant made a critical mistake. She turned around to go after the second half of the team, not checking to see if she Jaycee had fallen to the floor.
Then again, it wasn't like she had a chance to. Right when Hinomoto had Michelle Chang in her sights, the sixteenth entrant gave the Japanese wrestler a big front kick to the stomach, forcing her to double over. The forty year old veteran then placed Reiko's head in between her thighs and lifted her up on her shoulders. The crowd waited in anticipation for Michelle Chang to either throw the Zero Fighter out of the ring, or give her a devastating powerbomb.
And it seemed like the sixteenth entrant was going for the latter. She turned her body until she was facing the center of the ring. Michelle Chang didn't have glance behind her to see that her daughter was standing on the apron, waiting for her partner to get set up for another double team. Something in the back of her mind told her. Jaycee sprang off of the top rope and used her lower body in a seated position to force her opponent to the mat. The Powerbomb/Seated Senton combination not only did a lot of damage to the Zero Fighter's back, but also had the crowd standing and clapping.
"See what I mean, Ray? Just like that! Power and high flying abilities put together to perform one of the sickest double team moves today!"
"Reiko Hinomoto thought that she had eliminated Jaycee! But instead, Jaycee and her partner took out the Zero Fighter at the same time! Michelle Chang used her strength to powerbomb Reiko to the mat, while Jaycee connected with a Seated Senton for added impact!"
But once again, the fourteenth and sixteenth entrant weren't given a chance to eliminate the Japanese wrestler. Before either Michelle Chang or Jaycee could bring the Reiko back to her feet, Cammy intervened by sending the luchadora to the canvas with a big sidekick to the chin. The Delta Red officer then quickly went to work on the forty year old veteran, throwing a bunch of hard punches and elbows toward her opponent.
The British woman kept up with her attack until she had backed Cammy into the ropes. After one more uppercut to daze the sixteenth entrant, the Delta Red soldier grabbed one of Michelle's arms and slung her into an unoccupied turnbuckle. Next, the blonde fighter took her opponent's right leg and tried to lift her out of the squared circle. And with the Michelle Chang momentarily dizzy, Cammy didn't have to worry about her opponent fighting back.
However, the blonde felt someone clubbing her back. Cammy fell on one knee and turned to see who attacked her. The Glamazon followed up with powerful hooks to the British woman's head. Beth Phoenix helped the Delta Red soldier back to a vertical base, only to knock her down to the mat again with a punch across the jaw. As Cammy massaged her face, the former WWE Diva struck her signature pose, which resulted in thunderous boos from the crowd.
Next, Beth Phoenix grabbed her opponent's hair and yanked her back to her feet. She then turned Cammy around and applied a chickenwing hold on her. The Glamazon lifted the Delta Red soldier off of the ground, ready to go for her finishing move. But the very moment she released the British woman's arms, Cammy kept her legs around former WWE Diva's torso and used her own momentum to throw the sixth entrant halfway across the ring.
"Oh man! What a counter! What a reversal by Cammy! She reversed the Glam Slam with a leg scissors takedown! What strength displayed by the twelfth entrant!"
"Cammy's been fighting for most of her life and she knows how to counter almost every move in the book! She could very well be the winner of this year's Ryona Rumble!"
The Delta Red soldier was about to go after Beth Phoenix and eliminate her from the competition, when she felt someone turning her around. Cammy on had a split second to see that both Jaycee and Michelle Chang were back to a standing position. Suddenly, the mother-daughter pair unleashed a powerful, double superkick, almost knocking a few teeth out of their opponent's mouth. Cammy dropped to the canvas like a sack of potatoes.
But the fourteenth and the sixteenth entrant weren't done with their opponent just yet. Right after Cammy fell on her back, Michelle Chang and Jaycee yanked the blonde back to her feet and threw her across the ring. When the British woman came back, the mother-daughter pair hooked their opponent's arm and flips her over on to the mat. As the Delta Red soldier sat up due to the impact of the double hip toss, the fourteenth and sixteenth entrant did a double back handspring and executed a double dropkick to Cammy's face.
Jaycee and Michelle Chang quickly sprang back to a vertical base and stood beside their supine opponent. After exchanging nods, the two of them delivered a double leg drop to the Delta Red officer. The forty year old woman landed on Cammy's skull, while the masked wrestler connected with the blonde's midsection. The twelfth entrant rolled toward the edge of the ring, clutching her head and stomach area at the same time.
"Oh my God! A double dropkick, followed by a double leg drop, on Cammy! What a combination to wear down their opponent!"
"Michelle and Jaycee work together like a well-oiled machine! If this keeps up, then nothing can stop them!"
After taking care of the British woman, the mother-daughter pair turned their attention to another competitor who was slumped in one of the turnbuckles, trying to catch her breath. Taryn Terrell noticed that the fourteenth and sixteenth entrant were coming for her. But since it's every woman for herself, Jaycee and Michelle Chang wasted little time. They brought the TNA Knockout to the center of the ring. The luchadora and her mother brought the blonde down to her knees with a barrage of the shots to her back.
The masked wrestler once again helped her opponent to a standing position. She then kicked Taryn Terrell in the stomach, forcing the blonde to bend over. After draping one of the TNA Knockout's arms over her shoulder, Jaycee grabbed the end of her opponent's shorts and lifted her up. It looked like the fourteenth entrant was going for another vertical suplex to further damage Taryn Terrell's back.
But instead, the luchadora placed the TNA Knockout's legs on her partner's shoulders, keeping the blonde in an elevated position. Michelle Chang mouthed the word 'Now!' to the fourteenth entrant, signaling her to start the move. Finally, Jaycee swung herself inward as she dove to the ground, twisting on her opponent's neck and driving their neck and shoulders into the ground. And as the whiplash was being performed, Michelle twisted herself down to the mat and land on top of the opponent for more impact.
"No way! I've seen that before! That's the Tornado-Plex! Jaycee and Michelle Chang had executed one of the finest double team moves in the history of professional wrestling!"
"You said it, Al! The way that Taryn Terrell landed on her neck and back is just painful to watch! I hope she's okay, because that's one hard landing!"
The sixteenth entrant helped her daughter to a standing position. After taking out five of the competitors, Jaycee and Michelle Chang focused their attention on the only wrestler they have yet attack. Awesome Kong was on one knee, still trying to fight off the dizziness in her head after suffering the double dropkick to her head from Nina and Anna Williams. The large woman had no idea that the mother-daughter pair were coming after her.
Finally, Michelle and Jaycee grabbed the African American wrestler by her hair and got her back to a vertical base. The fourteenth and sixteenth entrant draped both of Awesome Kong's arms over their shoulders. The mother-daughter pair then tried to lift the two hundred plus pound woman off of the ground, trying to go for a double suplex on the thirtieth entrant. Jaycee and Michelle Chang could hear the crowd rooting them on. They too want to see the heavy Awesome Kong get slammed on the mat.
But sadly, the thirtieth entrant was just too heavy to hoist off of the canvas, even with the mother-daughter pair working together. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get Awesome Kong off of her feet. It looked like the audience wasn't going to see another double team move. Instead, they got something even better. With both of her arms around Jaycee's and Michelle Chang's head, the large wrestler lifted her two opponents off of the ground. Awesome Kong then fell backwards, delivering two suplexes at the same time.
"What power! What strength displayed by Awesome Kong, being able to suplex both Jaycee and Michelle Chang all at once!"
"For a moment there, I thought that Jaycee and Michelle Chang were going to do it! I thought that they were going to give Awesome Kong a rude awakening with a double suplex! But Kong turned the tables and now is in control of this match!"
The African American wrestler brought the sixteenth entrant to her feet. Awesome Kong lifted her opponent off of the mat and made her way toward the edge of the ring. But rather than throwing Michelle Chang out of the ring, the thirtieth entrant had another plan. She first set the forty year old veteran on the ring apron. As the sixteenth entrant stood on the edge of the squared circle, the two hundred plus pound woman approached her second opponent.
Awesome Kong lifted the luchadora in a military press hold. To further show off her superior strength, the large wrestler did a few lifts, much to the crowd's delight. Suddenly, Awesome Kong ran toward the ring apron that the dazed sixteenth entrant was standing on. When she had closed the distance, the thirtieth entrant threw the masked wrestler into Michelle Chang. The arena was shocked when they saw the mother-daughter pair fell out of the ring, landing hard on the floor.
"Oh no! I don't believe it! Awesome Kong just eliminated both Jaycee and Michelle Chang! Incredible! Michelle and Jaycee are gone!"
"Such a shame too, partner! Those two were dominating the match for quite a long time, demonstrating and delivering a bunch of high octane double team moves! And I bet there are some people in the audience predicted that both Jaycee and Michelle Chang would be the last two competitors in the ring! Too bad it's not meant to be!"
"Let's now reset the scorecards, Ray! We now have six competitors left in the ring! Sakura Hagiwara, Beth Phoenix, Cammy, Reiko Hinomoto, Taryn Terrell and Awesome Kong remain in the Ryona Rumble match!"
"And let's not forget, partner! The #1 entrant, Sakura Hagiwara, is still in this match! So far, she is the only one that's been in the ring for over sixty minutes! Think about that, Al! Imagine enduring all of the punishment, all of the abuse, and all of the beatdowns for a whole hour! That's nuts!"
"You're absolutely right! But that's what happens when you draw an early number, like Sakura! Again, six competitors remain! It's anyone's guess as to who will come out as the winner!"
