Chapter 9: Sheree's First Pay-Per-View Match
Stephanie McMahon did not dislike Jane Huxley. How could she? They've never met before. But the two were polar opposites. And people with opposite personalities don't always get along. Hence, the reason why she couldn't help but get annoyed when a small taunting smirk stretched across the other woman's face. She almost scowled at the killer look in the woman's blue eyes, silently daring her to upset her daughter.
She choose to ignore the smirking woman for the moment, shifting her gaze to the younger woman standing beside Jane, who was fidgeting nervously under her stare.
"Well... is it true? Are you really the daughter of this woman?" Stephanie asked.
Sheree fidgeted a little more, before sighing and nodding her head.
"Yes. Jane Huxley is my mother. And the woman next to her is my twin sister," Sheree answered.
Stephanie stared at the black haired look alike of Sheree, quickly recognizing her.
"You're the new commentator..." Stephanie muttered, her eyebrow twitching.
Jenna just smiled at the older woman, finding the over the top reactions just as amusing as her mother found them.
"That's right!" she answered with an enthusiastic smile, causing Stephanie to groan at the fact that two Huxleys were now running wild in her father's company. Speaking of her father...
Stephanie glared at the old man, who winced at the accusing glare on her face.
"You! You knew about this!" she growled, making the old man laugh nervously in response.
Stephanie just shook her head and sighed.
"I can't believe this..." she groaned as Paul placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Oh come on now. This is a great opportunity!" Dray said with a smirk.
"How so?" Stephanie questioned.
"Jane freaking Huxley is standing right in front of us! This is perfect!" Dray exclaimed, his smirk widening into an excited grin.
"Oh boy... I know that look. He's gone into story-planning mode," Shane noted, a smirk of amusement appearing on his face.
Jane frowned at the excited grin on Dray's face.
"Whatever you're planning I want no part of it. I have no desire to join the WWE," Jane said sternly.
Some of the Superstars and Divas that stuck around to watch the encounter frowned and glared at Jane when she said that.
"I knew you were gonna say that," Ric groaned.
"I ain't interested," Jane replied, shrugging uncaringly.
"Be nice mom," Sheree whispered, sensing the tension increase, but the older woman ignored her.
"What's wrong with working here?!" Stephanie asked, slightly offended by Jane's retort.
"I don't get along well with princesses," Jane answered with a devious smirk, her smirk widening when she saw Stephanie's eyes darken in annoyance and anger.
Jane chuckled at the small scowl on Stephanie's face. "Don't worry princess. I'm only here to watch my daughter compete in her first Pay-Per-View match and then I'm outta here."
Stephanie was about to retort when Dray interrupted her.
"Aw come on! Tell you what. Why don't you stick around for the Pay-Per-View, and then maybe we could talk after?" Dray suggested.
Jane frowned.
"I thought I just told you I wasn't interested," she bit out, glaring at Dray in mild annoyance.
"At least listen to what he has to say Jane," Ric replied, a smile plastered on his face.
Jane glared at Ric, before looking at her two daughters, who both wore tiny smirks on their faces.
Jane glared at them both, before sighing and turning back to Dray. "Fine. We'll talk."
"Great! You won't regret this! I promise!" he replied with a large grin, making Jane grunt in response.
"Now if you excuse us, we have a Pay-Per-View to run. Right guys?" Dray said, turning back to Stephanie and the others, who were all staring at him like he'd grown a third head. Except for his girlfriend who had a mischievous smirk on her face.
"Hey wait a minute!" Stephanie snapped. "I'm not shrugging this off!"
"Come on Steph," Shane drawled, pushing her out of the canteen, Paul following them in amusement. "You can talk to your new friend later!"
"New- Oh hell no! You wouldn't catch me dead with that crazy woman!"
"Bye princess!" Jane called out, waving Stephanie away with a wide smile.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!"
Sheree sighed, before turning to the chairman. "I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble sir."
"Ehh don't worry about it," Vince replied with a smirk. "We've all got secrets. It's fine."
With that the old man left with one final sentence. "Good luck tonight."
"Thank you sir," Sheree sighed out, watching them all leave, before smiling at her mother.
"Come on mom. I'll show you around," she said, grabbing Jane's hand and walking off before she could say a word, Jenna following close behind them with an amused smirk.
The canteen fell into uneasy silence as everyone tried to make sense of what just happened.
"Well... that was eventful," Jeff commented.
Kerry scoffed. "Tell me about it."
"I need a drink after all that," Roxanna groaned, rubbing her head.
"You knew about this?" Lisa questioned.
"Of course I did! I'm the one that suggested Sheree to the old man in the first place!" Roxanna replied, groaning in annoyance. "I knew that once this got out, y'all would get overly loud, but jeez... you could have toned down the dramatics!"
"How do you expect us to react!" Kerry snapped. "That walking hell-storm just strolled through the arena like nothing! And lets not forget, two of her daughters work here, one of them having been working here for two years! AND NONE OF US KNEW EXCEPT YOU!"
"I knew..." Jessie mentioned with a grin.
"SHUT UP!"
Roxanna groaned, banging her head on the table.
"I don't get why Sheree couldn't have at least told us," Michelle McCool commented. "Her mother's crazy, but so what? She's still the Sheree we all know and love. We wouldn't have hated her for it."
"It isn't just you guys she's kept this from," Roxanna said, lifting her head. "Friends on the independence got no idea either. She's never even wrestled under the Huxley name. That's why no one knew."
"That's a tad extreme..." Adam muttered.
"She probably just didn't wanna deal with any of the bullcrap that came with being second generation," Randy commented. "Everybody expecting something from you. Everyone waiting for you to fail. Having to deal with the jealousy and bitterness. Everyone thinking you're spoilt and entitled simply cuz you were born into a wrestling family."
Randy blinked, suddenly noticing how quiet the canteen had gotten.
"Wow Randy," Kerry gasped, staring at her mentor with a frown. "That was deep..."
"I'm just saying. I know what that's like," the third generation superstar replied. "I don't blame her for not wanting to deal with that shit."
"Plus, she's a Huxley through and through," Ric added with a smirk. "Betcha she's made a lotta enemies in the industry."
"Oh come on!" Melina retorted. "Sheree's the nicest person I know! Who in their right minds would hate her?!"
"She's a Huxley!" Ric said with a laugh.
"So what?!" Kerry snapped.
"That's all the explanation you need!"
"You ain't making any sense old man! We've all got our fair share of enemies!"
Roxanna sighed as Kerry continued to argue with the timeless legend.
If only you knew the kind of bite that kid has when someone pisses her off.
. . . .
Later...
Sheree sat on one of the many production boxes that littered the backstage area, watching MVP face off against the legendary Ric Flair in a career threatening match. She was just outside the gorilla so she wasn't worried about missing her cue.
She smiled as soon as Ric caught the United States Champion in the infamous Figure 4, making the massive MSG crowd explode into cheers.
"Figure 4!" Michael Cole exclaimed as MVP screamed in pain. "Ric Flair has the Figure 4 locked in on the United States Champion!"
"He's gonna tap! He's got no choice but to!" Johnathan Coachman added. "Ric's got that Figure 4 locked in tight!"
Sheree smirked. She hadn't heard her twin sister speak yet, but she knew Jenna, and knew that her twin could more than hold her own with JR and Jerry "The King" Lawler. She couldn't wait for the main event, where all three commentating teams from all three brands would be broadcasting the 30-man Royal Rumble.
Sheree adjusted her black tank top, that had the words 'Headstrong' on the front in gold fancy writing, before jumping off the equipment box and placing her boot on it, stretching out her right leg.
She had a big night ahead of her. It would do her no good if she pulled a muscle during her first Pay-Per-View match.
"Ah, there she is!"
Sheree turned towards the voice, quickly noticing a muscular man grinning at her. The man wore a black hoodie with the hood up, and a black and orange cap underneath that was pulled down to hide most of his face.
A huge smile spread across Sheree's face, quickly recognizing the grin plastered on the man's face.
"Felix!" Sheree exclaimed happily, taking her leg off the large box and tackling the man into a hug, making him chuckle as he hugged her back.
Sheree released the hug and smiled up at her childhood friend and mentor, as well as big brother - He practically insists on her referring to him as her big brother, much to her chagrin - John Felix Anthony Cena aka John Cena.
"I'm so glad you're back! It's been a little boring with you recovering from your injury," Sheree said.
John chuckled, smirking down at the woman. "Really? A little birdie told me that Randy's been keeping you busy."
Sheree frowned. "What are you talking about?"
John's smirk widened, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. "Something bout' him copping a feel if ya know what I mean?"
Sheree groaned in annoyance, knowing exactly what he was talking about. She can just imagine the little smug grin on Randy's face.
"It wasn't like that!" Sheree stressed.
"Suuure it wasn't."
"That little... he can't go one day without bragging about something," Sheree growled under her breath, before smirking at John. "I'm guessing he didn't tell you about the mean wedgie I gave him after?"
"I don't blame him for keeping that part of the story secret," John replied with a wince. He knows from first hand experience how much Sheree's wedgies hurt.
"Anyway, I saw your mother running around somewhere. Does that mean the secrets out?" John asked.
"Yeah," Sheree said, sighing. "Everyone seems to be keeping it tight-lipped though."
John smiled fondly. "That tells me that they care about you."
"Yeah..."
"Hey Sheree!"
Sheree turned around to find Beth walking up to them with a smile, already in her ring attire.
She heard John chuckle quietly behind her.
"Good luck out there kid," he said before leaving just as the Glamazon caught up to Sheree, staring at the retreating man.
"Who was that?" the blonde-haired woman asked curiously, watching as the man walked off and disappeared around the corner.
"Just a friend. He wanted to wish me luck in our match," Sheree half-lied. She could tell by the way John had his face covered with his cap, that he wanted his appearance to remain secret until the right time.
Beth smirked mischievously at the brunette.
"Is he your boyfriend by any chance?"
Sheree snorted at the question and broke into hysterical fits of laughter.
"Hahahahaha! Boyfriend?! Oh heavens no! That's hilarious!" Sheree laughed, clutching her sides.
Beth stared at the young woman in confusion, slightly surprised by her response. "I'll take that as a no?"
Sheree waved off the faint look of concern on the blonde's face, attempting and failing to contain her giggles. "He's... not exactly my type."
Beth nodded before smirking. "Ready to tear up the ring? This is your first Pay-Per-View match. I don't blame you if you're nervous."
"Nervous? Is that even a word?" Sheree asked with a playful smirk.
Beth laughed and shook her head in amusement, before they both walked up the steps, both fully prepared to blaze a trail in Madison Square Garden.
"I still can't believe one of the Big Five is your mother!"
"You're not mad are you?"
"Hell no! Those women are my heroes!"
Jane stood silently from a few steps away with a soft smile, as she watched her daughter converse with Beth, smiles on both women's faces as they disappeared through the curtains and into the gorilla.
Steal the show kid. I know you can do it.
. . . .
"Headstrong" by Trapt resounded throughout Madison Square Garden, garnering a thunderous reaction from the massive crowd in attendance.
Sheree walked through the automatic double doors that acted as a minitron, and stood at the very top of the short walkway, a wide smile on her face as she took in the electric atmosphere of a WWE Pay-Per-View, the double doors closing behind her.
Wow... was Sheree's first thought, surveying the large packed arena filled with thousands of screaming fans.
The fans weren't as loud as she knew they could be, but they were still loud enough to make Sheree smile. Sheree released a deep breath to calm the nerves that was steadily creeping up on her, before releasing a confident smile and proceeding to walk down the narrow walkway that led to the squared circle.
She reached up to high five the WWE fans, that had their hands outstretched over the top of the tall LED boards that had replaced the usual barricades for the event, while Lilian Garcia introduced her.
"The following contest is a #1 Contender's Match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Boston, Massachusetts, Sheree Louise!"
"Yes! Divas action!" King cheered as Sheree entered the ringside area, walking past the announce tables, winking at her sister as she walked past the RAW Broadcast team.
"Somebody's excited," Jenna noted in amusement, smiling brightly at her sibling, watching as she proceeded to walk up the steel stairs opposite the ECW announce table.
"I love the Divas!" King replied in excitement as Sheree walked along the ring apron with a huge excited smile on her face, surveying the huge crowd, before entering the ring.
Sheree approached the corner in the far left side, leaping up onto the second ropes and holding her arms out wide, a large smile on her face as she looked out into the massive audience, receiving a fairly decent reaction from the capacity crowd. "And this crowd seems to love them just as much as I do!"
"I have been told that you are actually related to Sheree. Is that true?" JR asked his newest broadcast partner, having noticed the small interaction between the two sisters.
"Yep! She's my twin sister!" Jenna answered.
"I can definitely see the resemblance. By the way, I love twins! Especially sexy ones!" King replied with a grin.
"Sorry, but we ain't into perverted old men," Jenna answered with a chuckle as Sheree stepped off the turnbuckle, walking across the ring and jumping up onto the corner ropes opposite the SmackDown announce table, grinning at the large capacity crowd.
"Hey, it was worth a try!" King said, his smirk widening.
"Put a sock in it King!" JR snapped as Sheree stepped off the ropes, approaching the far right corner of the ring, where she glared up at the double doors, waiting for the appearance of the Glamazon.
"Glamazon" blasted throughout the airwaves, receiving a massive reaction from the fans. Once Beth Phoenix walked out from behind the double doors, the roar from the fans got louder, making a small smirk appear on the woman's face as she performed her taunt, raising her arms up in the air dramatically before walking down the walkway.
"And her opponent, from Buffalo, New York, Beth Phoenix the Glamazon!" Lilian Garcia announced as the New York fans got increasingly louder.
"Listen to that reaction!" King exclaimed as Beth Phoenix walked down the narrow path, smirking at Sheree as she stood in the ring, glaring at the blonde haired woman.
"We are in Beth Phoenix's home-state. I'd be lying if I said I didn't expect this kind of reaction," Jenna remarked.
"I have to ask. You know Sheree best Jenna. This is her first ever Pay-Per-View Match in her 2 year WWE career. She must be feeling nervous," JR questioned as Beth paused in front of the ring, staring down her opponent.
"Whatever nerves Sheree was feeling will be non-existent now," Jenna replied. "I promise you that."
"Oh a confident one huh," King quipped.
"That's Sheree for you. She exudes confidence," Jenna commented with a chuckle as Beth stepped up onto the apron, before climbing the turnbuckle and sitting on it with her back facing the ring. The Glamazon looked behind her and sent Sheree a little taunting smirk, before raising her hands dramatically, garnering an incredibly loud reaction from the New Yorkers in Madison Square Garden.
"I for one have noticed Sheree's confidence, and I welcome it," JR said as Beth flipped backwards off the turnbuckle and into the ring, turning to face Sheree with a smirk present on her face. Sheree smiled right back at the Glamazon, the blonde-haired woman's theme music fading into the background. "She's gonna need that confidence in a match of this calibre, against an opponent as physically dominating as Beth Phoenix."
"Glamazon! Glamazon! Glamazon!"
A large smile stretched across Beth Phoenix's face as the fans chanted her nickname throughout the stadium. Sheree looked calmly around the arena, eyeing the chanting fans, appearing almost unfazed by the fact they all appeared to be in the Glamazon's corner. "There is a lot at stake in this match."
"Of course. Whoever wins this match, not only becomes #1 Contender for the Women's Championship but also gets to pick when that championship match takes place," Jenna commented. "It's almost like the Money in the Bank contract. The champion has no advantage."
"And to your point... I've gotta wonder what Melina thinks about all of this?" King questioned. "Surely she can't be happy with the fact that the winner of this match gets to pick when she defends her Women's Championship!"
"Oh trust me, she is definitely not happy about this!" Jenna replied with a chuckle.
"Rest assured, Melina will be paying close attention to this match. And will definitely be keeping an eye on the winner," JR said as Beth and Sheree continued to stare each other down, the fans chanting getting a little louder. "That's of course if she makes it past Tara Stone tonight."
"You hear that?" Beth asked Sheree with a taunting smile on her face as she gestured towards the fans chanting her name. "That's the sound of your defeat kid."
Sheree observed the crowd before looking back at Beth with a smile. "We'll see bout that."
The referee checked to see if both women were ready and that they weren't hiding anything suspicious inside their ring attires, before signalling for the bell to ring.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
The two women circled the ring, silently eyeing one another with steady gazes, before locking up. They struggled against each other, before Beth took advantage of the strength difference between the two, forcing Sheree into the corner opposite the Smackdown announce table and pushing her roughly against the turnbuckle.
"Beth, exploiting her impressive strength early," JR noted as Beth trapped Sheree against the corner, her powerful arms locked firmly against the headstrong Bostonian, the referee trying desperately to separate the two. "Shunting Sheree into the corner here."
The referee eventually managed to pull Beth away from Sheree, the Glamazon willingly backing away before unexpectedly shoving Sheree forcefully into the corner, garnering a mixture of jeers and cheers from the fans.
"Uh-Oh..." King gulped.
"The Glamazon with a show of disrespect!" JR noted.
"That most definitely ain't a good idea!" Jenna commented.
Beth Phoenix held her arms out mockingly and smirked at the glare on Sheree's face, almost finding it adorable in a mocking sort of way.
She certainly didn't expect the forearm to the face that nearly sent the Amazonian flying off her feet.
"Whoa!" King exclaimed as Beth stumbled backwards, face whipping to the side, stunned.
"Oh what a shot!" JR cried out.
"Told ya!" Jenna added with a grin.
"Sheree firing back with fiery ferocity!" JR said, the fans cheering as Sheree assaulted the Glamazon with big and fierce forearms to the face, forcing the blond-haired woman back, before whipping her towards the far ropes.
As Beth rebounded off the ropes, Sheree leapt off the canvas, the fans cheering as she caught the Glamazon in the face with a dropkick that blasted the blonde off her feet.
"Oh!" King cried out as Beth slammed back-first into the mat. "The Glamazon got caught!"
"That's what happens when you underestimate Sheree! You go down! Hard!" Jenna exclaimed with a large smile.
"And the Glamazon is finding that out the hard way!" JR said as Beth rolled out of the ring before Sheree could do anything else, an expression of frustration and mild shock on her face. Sheree kneeled on her left knee in the middle of the ring, calmly watching the Glamazon pace angrily at ringside, snarling at the brunette. "Sheree with impressive leaping ability, caught Beth Phoenix in the mouth with that dropkick, and the Glamazon has no choice but to take a reprieve if you will, outside the ring."
"I can see the frustration in the eyes of the Glamazon! She is fuming right now!" King exclaimed.
"She definitely did not expect that. Sheree caught her off guard," JR noted.
"She underestimated her. And now Sheree is making her pay for it!" Jenna said, as the Bostonian calmly rose to her feet, never taking her eyes off the Glamazon.
Beth placed her hands on her hips and stared at Sheree, an amused but irritated grin appearing on her face. Slowly Beth re-entered the ring, breaking the referee's count at a count of six, while giving Sheree a seething glare.
"Uh-oh, I don't like that look on Beth's face. She's not happy," King noted.
"Yeah, Sheree better be careful," Jenna added.
The two women locked up again, with Beth pushing Sheree back. Sheree growled in frustration, struggling against the Glamazon's superior might. It wasn't long until Sheree found herself against the ropes, glaring at the smug grin on Beth's face as the referee attempted to separate them both.
"Another lock up, and again, Beth Phoenix gets the better of Sheree with her superior strength," JR observed.
Sheree let loose a sharp cry of pain as Beth drove her knee into her gut, making the brunette fall to her knees, gasping for air. "Oh, what a knee!"
"Ouch!" Jenna added.
"That took the air out of Sheree!" King commented, as the brunette raised her head whilst wrapping an arm around her stomach, staring up at the Glamazon with a pained grimace.
Beth glared down at Sheree with a small smirk, ignoring the referee's demand to back up, before giving the woman a stinging slap across the face, getting an irritated glare from the brunette, whilst the fans verbally winced. "Oh man!"
"Come on Sheree!" Beth taunted, smacking the Bostonian across the face two more times, making the woman even more irritated than before.
"The Glamazon, talking trash while smacking Sheree in the face," JR noted.
"She clearly has no respect for Sheree at all," Jenna commented with a frown.
"Come on Sheree! Show me what you've got!" Beth yelled, raising her hand to smack the brunette a fourth time, only to be taken down to the mat by Sheree, who began to viciously pummel the blonde haired woman with fists to the face.
"WHOA! WHOA!" King exclaimed in surprise at Sheree's viciousness, the fans cheering at the brunette's sudden burst of attacks.
"Here we go!" Jenna added as Sheree rained down a flurry of furious punches to the Glamazon's face, who was trying desperately to cover up.
"Sheree has had enough!" JR cried out. "She's had enough of the disrespect, and is now taking it to the Glamazon!"
Beth managed to shove Sheree off her and rolled away from the irritated young woman, both scrambling to their feet.
Sheree ran at Beth, only the blonde haired woman reacted first, completely blasting Sheree with a devastating clothesline, causing the WWE fans to let loose an 'Ohhh!' at the impact of Sheree's head smacking against the canvas.
"Oh! Jeez!" King cried out with a wince.
"What a lariat! Wow!" Jenna added as Beth glared down at Sheree, enraged that she had managed to catch her off guard.
"Sheree was turned inside out! My god what a clothesline!" JR exclaimed.
Beth pulled Sheree to her feet and threw her harshly into the ring post in the corner, making Sheree's shoulder slam into the steel post hard. "Oh! What impact! Sheree's shoulder connected with that ring post with sickening force!"
"Oh, that's not good. That's really not good," Jenna voiced her concern for her sister.
"Beth ain't messing around now," King said.
The Glamazon pulled Sheree out from in-between the turnbuckle and wrapped her arms around Sheree's waist.
"Oh no!" Jenna quickly realized what the Glamazon was about to do to her sister.
"This is gonna hurt!" King exclaimed.
Before Sheree could do anything about the predicament that she found herself in, Beth launched herself backwards, throwing Sheree half way across the ring with a huge German suplex, the impact causing the brunette to land painfully on the back of her neck and flip onto her stomach. "Oh my goodness!"
"Oh my god! What a devastating German suplex from the Glamazon!" JR exclaimed, the fans letting loose a loud 'Ohhh!' wincing at the impact.
"Sheree was thrown halfway across the ring! The Glamazon is scary strong!" King cried out.
"I don't like the way Sheree landed. I'm very worried right now," Jenna said nervously as Beth pulled Sheree away from the ropes and hooked her leg, going for the cover.
"The Glamazon going for the pin attempt," JR noted.
1...
2...
"And Sheree kicks out at two there."
Beth didn't waste anytime and pulled Sheree back up onto her feet, spearing her roughly into the nearest corner, and proceeded to ram her shoulder into Sheree's gut multiple times, ignoring the referee's demand to get Sheree out of the corner. "Beth Phoenix is not wasting any opportunity. Keeping up the assault. The Glamazon has gained control in the early goings of this match."
"Yeah, Sheree can't seem to get anything going right now! She's in big, big trouble!" King added.
Beth paused for a moment, glaring at the referee as he implored her to back off, and then rammed her knee into Sheree's stomach, making the brunette groan in pain, falling to her hands and knees. "Oh!"
"Oh man! What a vicious shot," JR said as Sheree wrapped an arm around her midsection, coughing violently.
Beth smiled down at Sheree, enjoying the look of pain on her face.
"Is that really it?" Beth taunted as Sheree looked up at her with a snarl, slapping the brunette in the face again, goading the woman to try something, the fans wincing at the aggression behind said slap. "Is that really all you've got?!"
"The Glamazon is loving every moment of this," King said.
"Yeah... she really doesn't like Sheree huh?" Jenna questioned with a nervous smile.
"Not one bit," JR answered.
Beth smacked Sheree in the face again, forcing Sheree to retaliate with a forearm to the abdomen, making the Glamazon back away with a curse, favouring her stomach. "And Sheree responds!"
Beth faced Sheree with a scowl, only for Sheree to pounce on her, rocking Beth Phoenix with stiff forearms to the face, forcing the powerful woman back. "Sheree, beginning to fight back!"
Sheree viciously assaulted the blonde-haired amazon, unloading on the Glamazon with consecutive forearms to the face, the massive audience applauding when Beth was forced to a knee, raising her arms in an attempt to defend herself. "She's brought the Glamazon to a knee!"
"Look at her go!" King exclaimed.
"There you go Sheree!" Jenna cheered. "Keep it up!"
"She's got Beth Phoenix on the ropes!" JR added.
Sheree relented, grabbing the Amazonian's wrist and pulling Beth Phoenix up to her feet, whipping the Glamazon to the corner opposite the SmackDown announce table. "But Sheree has to keep up the assault, to stand any chance in winning."
The brunette Bostonian backed up into the opposite corner and bolted at the Glamazon.
"Uh-oh!" King exclaimed as Beth Phoenix suddenly thundered out of the corner, looking to intercept the Headstrong Diva. "Whoa!"
Luckily, Sheree managed to duck, avoiding the lariat that would have surely taking her head off. "That was a close call. Sheree nearly got her head taken- WHOAA!"
"OH MY HEAVENS!" Jenna exclaimed as her twin sister scaled up onto the top ropes of the turnbuckle with all the quickness of a cat, backflipping off them as Beth Phoenix turned around.
"Sheree takes to the skies!" JR cried out, the fans cheering wildly as the Bostonian collided with the Glamazon, sending the Amazonian woman crashing to the canvas with a moonsault. "Oh god! What a picture perfect moonsault!"
Beth immediately rolled out of the ring and onto the apron, shaking her head with wide eyes as she used the ropes to pull herself back up onto her feet. "The Glamazon has no choice but to roll out of the ring and create some distance."
"Sheree clearly caught the Glamazon by complete surprise. She wasn't expecting that at all!" King said as both women made it to a vertical base. Beth shook her head, still a bit dazed.
"Ohhh!" Sheree pivoted on her heel, catching the Glamazon in the temple with a spin kick that blasted the Amazonian woman off the apron, causing the massive audience to release a ruckus 'OHHH!' as the Glamazon tumbled off the apron.
"My god!" JR exclaimed as Beth hit the ground with a thud. "What a spin kick! Blasting the Glamazon off the apron!"
"Wow!" Jenna cried out in awe. "Beth was sent crashing off the apron right in front of the SmackDown announce table!"
"What a spin kick," King chuckled with a touch of awe. "Wow!"
Sheree glared at Beth from inside the ring, watching as the blonde haired woman struggled to stand. She calmly exited the ring and stood on the apron, staring down Beth with a calculating look on her face, her hands tightening on the ropes.
"Sheree... she has that look in her eyes again!" JR said, noticing the narrowed look in her blue eyes.
"Why do I have a feeling she's about to do something crazy?" King questioned nervously, eyeing the look on her face.
"That's probably cuz she is King!" Jenna replied.
Beth Phoenix stumbled to her feet, using the Raw announce table to steady herself.
"The Glamazon's right in front of us," JR noted as Sheree got into position behind the blonde-haired woman, watching her keenly and carefully. "She has no idea what Sheree has in store for HER OH MY GOSH!"
As the Glamazon turned around, Sheree leaped up and spring-boarded off the middle rope, backflipping through the air, pulling off a springboard moonsault to the outside, much to the amazement of the large crowd.
"Whoa!" King exclaimed in shock as Sheree collided with Beth, sending the blonde-haired woman crashing back first into the Raw announce table, landing on the table, garnering a roaring reaction from the fans. "Wow!"
"My word! She hit that springboard moonsault perfectly!" JR exclaimed.
"That was amazing! Beautiful Asai Moonsault!" Jenna praised as Sheree stood up on the announce table, releasing a loud yell that got a ruckus response from the fans, while the Glamazon crumbled to the floor, a dazed expression on her face.
"Look at this thing of beauty," King said as replays were shown in slow motion of Sheree's Asai moonsault. "Sheree with a springboard moonsault, sending Beth crashing into our announce table. Sheree landed right on our table!"
Sheree jumped off the Raw announce table, pulling Beth back up to her feet and rolling the woman back into the ring. "They're going back into the ring now."
Sheree pulled herself up onto the apron as Beth Phoenix started to stir, quickly realizing that she would have to do more if she wanted to defeat the Glamazon. "What's Sheree gonna do next?"
Sheree eyed Beth Phoenix, before quickly scaling the turnbuckle opposite the ECW announce table and perched herself on the top ropes, silently waiting for the Amazonian to stand up.
"She's climbing the turnbuckle! Sheree maybe thinking high risk!" JR said.
"I think she realized that she will have to do much, much more if she wants to defeat the Glamazon," King noted.
"Sheree knows how big of an opportunity this is, and against someone as dominant as Beth Phoenix, Sheree knows she's gotta start bringing out the big guns," Jenna added.
As soon as Beth stumbled to her feet and turned around, Sheree leaped off the top rope, landing on the Amazonian's powerful shoulders. She looked to use her momentum and leg strength to throw Beth Phoenix forward with her legs, but what she didn't anticipate was the Glamazon catching her, stopping Sheree from fully executing the hurricanrana attempt. "Uh-oh..."
"My god! The Glamazon caught her in mid air!" JR exclaimed as the fans reacted with awe. "Sheree was going for a hurricanrana but the Glamazon said, I don't think so!"
"What?!" King yelled out. Beth released a powerful roar, using her pure strength to lift and power Sheree up into a powerbomb position. "Oh goodness look at the power and strength of the Glamazon!"
"Oh no!" Jenna cried out, knowing Sheree was now in extreme danger. "This is bad!"
Stunned by this sudden predicament, Sheree only had time to flail her arms around, before she was slammed painfully into the mat with a devastating sit-out powerbomb, getting a loud 'Ohhh!' from the crowd.
"Oh my lord! What a powerbomb!" JR exclaimed. "Shoulders are down!"
"That power is amazing!" Jenna praised in awe.
One!
"There's no way Sheree can survive after that!" King commented.
Two!
Th-
"No! Sheree does survive!" JR exclaimed, the large crowd roaring in approval as Sheree used whatever energy she had in reserve to power out of the sit-out pin.
"How did she kick out of that?!" King exclaimed in shock.
"That was instinct! Sheree was 100% out of it there! She kicked out instinctively!" Jenna said, noticing the glazed over look in Sheree's eyes.
A nasty scowl appeared on the Glamazon's face as she glared down at the brunette haired woman, clearly not pleased that Sheree had managed to kick out. "Uh-oh... the expression on the Glamazon's face changed the moment Sheree kicked out."
Beth made her way to her feet and quickly dragged the still dazed Sheree to her feet. The powerful Amazonian woman picked Sheree up onto her right shoulder. "And she's absolutely furious!"
The Glamazon ran at full speed towards the turnbuckle, ramming Sheree's back into the corner, making the young woman groan in pain, the fans wincing at the sight. "Oh no!"
"Sheree rammed back first into the turnbuckle!" JR exclaimed.
"That was brutal!" King added.
Beth was far from done, glaring down at Sheree in rage, before lifting her up off the mat again. Beth turned and took off in a running sprint towards the opposite turnbuckle. "Again?!"
"Look out Sheree!" Jenna warned, watching helplessly as the Glamazon slammed Sheree hard into the turnbuckles, making her gasp in pain as the wind was knocked out of her.
"Ouch!" King winced at the impact.
"Beth Phoenix is out to punish Sheree!" JR exclaimed, the fans again, verbally wincing at the impact.
"Yeah I'm worried! I don't know how long Sheree will last!" Jenna voiced her concern.
Refusing to let go, Beth backed away from the turnbuckle, still holding Sheree in a tight grip, an intense look on her face as she eyed the third turnbuckle. "Oh no! Not again!"
Beth ran at the turnbuckle, driving Sheree's back into the corner, the padding doing nothing to ease Sheree's pain.
"And the Glamazon for the third time, driving the back of Sheree into the turnbuckle!" JR exclaimed, the fans letting out an 'Ohhh!' wincing at the impact.
"Beth Phoenix is brutal! She's just having her way with Sheree now," King said.
Beth then backed away from the turnbuckle, still keeping a firm grip on the smaller woman, and turned around, facing the last turnbuckle opposite the SmackDown announce table.
"Oh no! She's not gonna do it again is she?!" Jenna exclaimed in horror.
"She's gonna break her back!" King cried out in equal horror.
"Come on now! That's enough!" JR snapped.
With a yell, Beth ran and drove Sheree's back into the fourth turnbuckle, making her yell out in pain as a light and loud chant of 'Sheree! Sheree! Sheree!' broke out in the crowd, trying to fire Sheree up and get her back into the match.
This time Beth released her grip on Sheree, allowing the young Boston brunette to fall to the mat, her body and mainly her back racking with pain. "I don't know how Sheree is going to come back from something like that."
"I won't be surprised if she doesn't," King said.
"Sheree ain't done yet," Jenna added, confident that her twin could make a comeback. "She's still got a lot left in the tank. Trust me."
Beth watched Sheree struggle to her hands and knees with a smirk on her face, before driving a stinging boot into Sheree's abdomen, making Sheree yelp in pain, falling to her side whilst holding her stomach.
"So you think you can beat me, HUH?!" Beth shouted with a villainous smile on her face as she glared down at the Boston brunette.
The Glamazon grabbed Sheree roughly by the hair and pulled her up onto her feet, ignoring the referee's firm warning as she roughly pulled Sheree back by her hair so that the Amazonian was towering over her.
"You think you're gonna win, huh?!" Beth growled in the Boston native's face, before driving her fist into Sheree's gut, knocking the wind out of her and forcing the brunette-haired woman to her knees.
"The Glamazon is just having her way with Sheree right now," King noted as Sheree groaned in pain.
"She's toying with her," Jenna growled in annoyance as Beth glowered down at the young brunette.
"She's just taking her time now. Taking her time to completely punish Sheree," JR said as the Glamazon forced Sheree onto her feet before kneeing her in the gut.
Sheree fell to the mat on her hands and knees, coughing violently whilst placing an arm around her stomach. The fans began to jeer and boo, not at all liking the Glamazon's show of viciousness.
Beth grabbed Sheree by her brunette locks, forcing the Bostonian to look up at her.
"You're pathetic!" Beth growled, smirking darkly as she glowered down at Sheree. "To think you actually thought you could provide me with some competition! The thought sickens me! You are just like every other plastic, Barbie doll princess that-"
Before the Glamazon could continue, a look of pure rage appeared on Sheree's face before full on punching the blonde-haired woman in the face.
"OHHH!" both King, Jenna and the fans exclaimed as the Glamazon stumbled back, favouring her jaw with surprised and dazed wide eyes. The surprisingly stiff shot to the face had caught the proud Amazonian completely off-guard, making her accidently rip out pieces of Sheree's brunette strands in the process.
Sheree rose to her feet, blazing fury dancing in her blue eyes as she glared at the Glamazon in wide eyed rage.
"Sheree has had enough! And look at the look on her face!" JR exclaimed.
"Ah!" King screamed.
"Oh no! That ain't a good sign! Not good! Not good!" Jenna cried out as she eyed her sister with a small twinge of fear.
Beth Phoenix scowled at Sheree in pure rage, not caring about the untold wrath on the younger woman's face and wasted no time in punching Sheree in the face with much more force, almost sending her flying off her feet.
"Beth Phoenix fires back!" JR noted. The fans cheered when Sheree launched at the Glamazon with an enraged roar, responding with a powerful forearm strike that nearly blew the stronger woman off her feet. "And Sheree retaliates!"
The two women entered a stalemate in the middle of the ring, exchanging hard forearms and jaw-shattering fists, vaguely aware of the insanely loud cheering from the New York crowd as the two women continued to battle it out, popping for every strike that landed.
"This is becoming a slugfest ladies and gentlemen! These two ladies are absolutely pummelling each other!" JR exclaimed as the two women continued to exchange strikes, hitting each other harder and faster, neither willing to back down from the other, the fans keeping up with them and cheering louder.
"This crowd is going absolutely crazy!" Jenna cried out.
"Sheree is keeping up with the Glamazon?! In a fist fight?! I don't believe what I'm seeing!" King exclaimed in shock.
"They are beating the absolute hell out of each other!" JR cried out passionately as the two women slowly began to tire. "This has been one hell of a slobberknocker, and I never thought I'd find myself saying that for a Divas match! Pride and glory is on the line! Neither one of these women are budging an inch!"
The stalemate ended abruptly after Beth tanked another forearm from Sheree and responded by ramming her boot into Sheree's gut, making the woman hunch over in pain, surprising the brunette. "And Beth Phoenix goes down stairs!"
The Glamazon backed up into the ropes, rebounding off them to launch herself at Sheree and taking the younger woman off her feet with a massive clothesline, that garnered a ruckus 'Ohhh!' from the loud crowd. "Good grief!"
"Oh man!" Jenna groaned as Sheree crashed into the mat. "She laid that one in!"
"And just like that the Glamazon is back in control," JR added.
"There was a lotta malice behind that lariat," King said as Beth Phoenix quickly grabbed a firm hold of Sheree's brunette locks, ignoring the referee's warning as she glared down at Sheree in rage filled anger. Sheree had managed to cause the Glamazon pain with those forearms of hers, and that angered the Amazonian more than anything.
Enraged and frustrated, Beth roughly pulled Sheree to her feet, draping Sheree's arm over her shoulder and then hooking the Boston brunette's leg. "Oh no..."
"Beth Phoenix appears to be going for that delayed Fisherman Suplex," JR noted, the fans noticing immediately. "She's looking to end it here right now!"
"If Beth hits this it might be over for Sheree!" Jenna said worriedly.
"I'm afraid it will be over for Sheree if Beth hits this! I don't know many Divas who have kicked out of the Glamazon's Fisherman Suplex!" King said as Beth lifted Sheree into the air and held the position, leaving Sheree suspended upside down, with her one free leg flailing in the air. "Oh my god..."
"Incredible power from the Glamazon!" JR praised, before Beth Phoenix brought Sheree back down to earth with an impactful Fisherman Suplex, the fans releasing an 'Ohhh!' at the impact. "Fisherman Suplex!"
"Goodness me!" Jenna groaned in awe of the Amazonian woman's strength.
"That's all she wrote!" King said with sorrow in his voice, as Beth sat up and glared at the fans with an intense emotionless expression on her face, before turning towards the still form of Sheree and calmly crawling into the pin. "That is it! It's over!"
One!
"No! Sheree kick out!" Jenna pleaded.
Two!
"You've gotta kick out!"
Three-
"NO-" At the last millisecond, just before the referee's hand touched the mat for that final count, Sheree managed to kick out, making Beth freeze and gap in shock while the large crowd roared in approval and shock. "OH! OH MY GOD!"
"She kicked out! She kicked out! My god Sheree kicked out!" JR exclaimed.
"W-What?!" King stuttered in shock as the Glamazon slowly rose to a knee, never taking her eyes off Sheree.
"Sheree kicked out of the Fisherman Suplex!" JR cried out.
"Yes! Damn... you sure know how to make me worry sis!" Jenna chuckled out of relief.
"Beth Phoenix is in complete and utter shock!" JR exclaimed as the former Women's Champion continued to stare down at Sheree in a state of shock, slowly rising to her feet.
"So am I!" King added, eyes wide.
"My heart is in my throat!" Jenna said. "That was close!"
Beth Phoenix suddenly scowled in anger and wrapped both her hands around Sheree's neck. "Hey wait a second!"
"Oh my gosh!" King cried out in horror at the sight of the Glamazon roughly forcing Sheree to stand and lifting the young woman off her feet, suspending the Bostonian above the mat by her neck.
Beth Phoenix scowled angrily up at Sheree, enraged that the woman still had some fight left in her.
"I've just about had enough of you! Just give up already! You can't beat me! Stop trying!" Beth growled in rage, shaking Sheree roughly in the air whilst at the same time strangling the poor girl, causing the fans to boo heavily, disgusted by this.
"H-Hey! Put her down already!" Jenna yelled out, scared for her sister.
"The Glamazon has completely lost it!" King exclaimed.
"What's the matter with her?! She's gonna strangle the poor woman to death!" JR snapped in anger.
Sheree's legs flailed, dangling off the ground as Beth continued to hold her up in the air, trying to squeeze the life out of her. Sheree wheezed for breath, before doing the only thing she could think of at that moment.
Sheree flailed her legs in the air a bit more before lifting her leg, the fans releasing a loud 'Ohhh!' at the sight of Sheree's knee catching the Glamazon underneath the jaw. "Oh my god! Good grief!"
Stunned, Beth Phoenix immediately dropped Sheree, standing on wobbly legs as she instinctively favoured her chin.
"She's free!" Jenna cheered.
"What a knee!" King exclaimed in shock. "Sheree caught her right underneath the chin!"
Sheree stumbled back, visibly shaken, allowing the Glamazon to gain a bit of her bearings. Beth Phoenix growled and rushed at the brunette only to run face-first right into the the soles of Sheree's right foot, a huge 'Ohhh!' resounding throughout Madison Square Garden. "OH MY GOD!"
"SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF THE GLAMAZON! MY GOD!" JR yelled out as Beth collapsed to her knees, her blue eyes wide and glazed.
"She kicked her head off!" Jenna added in awe. "She- OH MY GOSH!"
A massive "OHHH!" of shock resounded throughout the arena as without hesitation, Sheree blasted the kneeled form of Beth Phoenix in the face with another superkick!
"THE GLAMAZON'S DOWN!" JR exclaimed, stunned at the sight of Beth crumbling to the mat.
"She really did kick her head off!" King cried out.
"Cover her Sheree!" Jenna yelled out as Sheree wasted no time in scrambling for the pin, hooking both of the Glamazon's legs.
"The Glamazon is down!" JR repeated as Sheree yelled out desperately, the fans roaring.
ONE!
"Sheree going for the cover!"
TWO!
"Will she finally realise her dream! Of competing for the WWE women's title-"
THRE-
"NOT YET! NOT YET! NOT YET SAYS THE GLAMAZON!"
"Are you freaking KIDDING ME?!" Jenna exclaimed. Her twin had sat up on the mat, completely stunned the moment Beth kicked out, the crowd exclaiming in shock.
"The Glamazon is still alive!" JR added.
"Sheree jacked Beth's jaw not once, but twice, and that STILL didn't keep Beth down?!" King said in disbelief as scowl started to worm it's way onto Sheree's face.
The Bostonian looked back to glare at the Glamazon, as if trying to work out what she had to do to put the woman away. "If Sheree is frustrated I wouldn't blame her. How do you beat the Glamazon?!"
"Good question. They've both taken each other's best shot and are still going," Jenna said as Sheree eyed the nearest turnbuckle for a moment, before, standing up and dragging Beth's supine form in line with it.
"But Sheree, and I wonder if Beth Phoenix has noticed, has yet to hit her trump card. The Snapshot," JR observed as Sheree began to climb the turnbuckle, her back facing the ring, the fans cheering in anticipation, having an idea of exactly what Sheree was aiming to do. "And she's looking to go up top again."
"Uh-oh... I think Beth is about to become Overkill!" King exclaimed.
"I love it when she does this!" Jenna said, her blue eyes lighting up in excitement as Sheree made it to the top, perching herself on the top ropes. "That moonstomp of hers! Beth Phoenix is in the drop zone!"
Sheree looked back to check on Beth Phoenix, who was still laying motionless, but as soon as Sheree turned away, Beth quickly sprang up to her feet, the fans crying out as the Amazonian woman pulled the Boston brunette off the ropes and onto her shoulders in a seated position. "Hey!"
"The Glamazon was playing possum!" King exclaimed.
"The Glamazon's experience coming into play there! And she has Sheree in trouble!" JR commented.
Beth backed away from the corner before turning around. Sheree only had time to widen her eyes in surprise before she was literally face planted into the mat, the fans in attendance releasing a loud 'Ohhh!' at the impact. "Good lord!"
"Oh my god!" Jenna cried out.
"What force! What impact! Sheree, driven face first into the mat with an electric chair facebuster!" JR exclaimed.
"An impact like that had to hurt!" King added as the Glamazon scrambled to pin the knocked out woman, hooking the far leg.
"Cover here," JR noted.
1…
"Sheree is motionless!" Jenna cried out in worry.
2…
"NO! NO! Sheree stays alive!" JR exclaimed, the large crowd in Madison Square Garden erupting when Sheree kicked out just before the three count, causing the Glamazon to release a loud yell of anger as she sat up on her knees.
"No way! She kicked out?!" King cried out.
"YES!" Jenna cheered.
"What heart! What spirit shown by this young woman!" JR praised.
Beth Phoenix grabbed a fist full of her blonde locks, tears of frustration threatening to fall.
"The Glamazon looks like she's about to cry!" Jenna exclaimed.
"Beth Phoenix has just realised how far this young woman is willing to go to achieve her dream! Sheree will just not quit!" JR said.
"The Glamazon is close to her breaking point! She looks like she is about to explode!" King added.
Sheree's quiet groans of pain caught Beth's attention, making her glare down at the brunette in rage. The Glamazon rose to her feet, pulling Sheree roughly up to a vertical base by her wrist and whipping the brunette into the corner opposite the ECW announce table.
Beth lifted Sheree's form onto the top turnbuckle in a seated position, and climbed up after her, causing the massive crowd to cheer in restlessness. "Oh boy... what's Beth Phoenix up to now?"
"Uh Oh... I think the Glamazon is thinking superplex!" JR noted as Beth stood on the middle ropes, draping Sheree's arm over her shoulder.
"I don't like where this is heading..." Jenna added nervously.
The Amazonian woman tried to superplex Sheree off the top ropes, but the young woman was having none of it, holding onto the ropes with all the strength and power she could muster, thwarting the Glamazon's attempt at a superplex.
"Beth Phoenix is trying to attempt a top rope superplex, but it looks like Sheree is blocking her!" JR observed.
"Yeah... she's holding onto the ropes like her life depends on it!" Jenna noted.
"How long will she hold out for though? Beth Phoenix is so powerful! She will eventually overpower her!" King said worriedly.
Beth growled in frustration before punching Sheree hard in the ribs, making the young woman gasp in pain, before landing a forearm shot of her own to Beth's ribs.
"The Glamazon and Sheree are trading shots on the ropes!" JR called out as the two proceeded to exchange hard blows to the abdomen, both trying to gain the upper hand on each other.
"Careful ladies! That's dangerous!" King exclaimed, before Sheree began to repeatedly and desperately punch away at Beth's midsection, until the blonde woman released her and nearly fell off. "Whoa!"
Seeing as that didn't work, Sheree resorted to attacking Beth Phoenix with forearms to the face over and over again, but the blonde haired woman still managed to hold on, the fans verbally reacting to each strike.
"Sheree is just teeing away at Beth Phoenix like no tomorrow!" JR said.
"But the Glamazon still ain't budging!" Jenna noted.
Seeing as Beth Phoenix still wouldn't budge, Sheree resorted to the next best thing.
Beth became slightly disoriented when Sheree grabbed two fists full of the Glamazon's blonde locks and rammed her head into the forehead of Beth Phoenix, almost making her fall off the ropes and causing the fans to wince at the collision of heads.
"Oh! What a head-butt!" JR cried out, as Sheree tried to shake out her own disorientation, favouring her head with a groan as she pulled away from the Glamazon.
"Hey! Hey! Be careful ladies!" King exclaimed.
"Beth is teetering!" Jenna noted as the Glamazon struggled to stay on the ropes.
Seeing the dazed look on Beth's face as she tried to stay put on the ropes, Sheree slipped through the tiny space between the corner and the blonde haired woman's legs, and lifted the Glamazon off the ropes in a powerbomb position, much to the shock of nearly everyone in the arena. "Whoa! WHOA!"
"No way... NO WAY!" King cried out, eyes wide as Sheree stepped away from the turnbuckle with the Glamazon on her shoulders, the blonde haired woman too shocked by this to do anything, the fans cheering in awe.
"Look at the strength and the power! My god, where did this sudden burst of strength come from?!" JR exclaimed in equal shock.
Sheree took a few more steps away from the corner, before forcefully driving Beth Phoenix back first into the canvas to a massive reaction. "Oh my goodness! What a devastating powerbomb!"
"Wow! Just... wow!" King exclaimed, too shocked to say anything else.
"I bet Beth didn't expect that!" Jenna added.
After using all of her strength to powerbomb Beth into the mat, Sheree promptly fell flat on her stomach out of exhaustion, landing right on the supposedly unconscious blonde to loud screams from the fans.
"Sheree falls into the cover!" JR exclaimed.
One!
"Could this be it!"
Two!
"Is Sheree one step closer..."
Thre-
At the last moment, Beth powered out, breaking the count a second before the ref made the three count, and causing the WWE fans in attendance to cry out in shock at how close the Glamazon was to losing the match.
"To realising- NO! Beth Phoenix kicks out at the last second!" JR exclaimed. "The Glamazon kicks out! My god!"
"Wow! That was close!" Jenna cried out in shock as Beth shoved Sheree off her, the brunette woman lying right beside the Glamazon on her back. "That was incredibly close!"
"Man... what is it gonna take for these two to put one another away! They must be absolutely spent by now!" King added.
Both Divas stirred in the ring, slowly rolling towards opposite corners of the squared circle, creating some distance from one another.
"Of course they are spent. They are running on fumes at this point. They've just about exhausted every move in their arsenal. Pride and adrenaline is all that's keeping them going right now," JR said as the two women used their respective corners to pull themselves up onto their feet. "Neither woman are willing to quit."
"Let's go Sheree! Let's go Phoenix! Let's go Sheree! Let's go Phoenix! Let's go Sheree! Let's go Phoenix!"
"Listen to this place!" King exclaimed with a chuckle. "I don't think I've ever heard this kind of reaction for a Divas match!"
The passionate loud chanting from the fans resounded throughout The Garden as the two women eventually managed to pull themselves back up onto their feet, glaring at one another, neither one of them willing to back down just yet.
"Man... look at the intensity in their eyes!" Jenna noted with excitement.
"Those are looks of absolute defiance!" JR added.
"These two women are gonna wail on each other until one doesn't get back up aren't they?" King commented nervously.
"Yep!" Jenna answered.
"This is the final stand! Who will fall first?!" JR questioned in excitement. Sheree and Beth continued their intense stare down as a massive storm of applause and cheers broke out in Madison Square Garden, before all hell broke loose.
The fans exploded when the two women charged at each other, with Beth ducking a roundhouse kick that she knew would have taken her head off hadn't she ducked.
"Whoa! Sheree nearly took the Glamazon's head clean off!" King exclaimed.
"The roundhouse missed," JR commentated as the two women clashed in the middle of the ring, trading forearms, the fans popping for each strike. "And now throwing bombs in the middle of the ring! This crowd is rocking!"
The exchange was broken by Beth kicking Sheree hard in the gut, quickly draping the brunette's arm over her shoulder and moving closer towards the ropes. "Kick to the gut! The pace is getting erratic and desperate now!"
"Look at the strength and power of Beth Phoenix!" King cried out as the Glamazon lifted Sheree halfway vertically into the air and fell forwards, bouncing the brunette's thighs across the nearest top ropes, using the momentum to execute a quick and painful slingshot suplex. "Oh!"
"Slingshot suplex!" JR exclaimed as Sheree's back hit the mat with tremendous impact, making her arch her back off the canvas in pain while the fans verbally winced at the sight.
"The Glamazon is just so strong and powerful," Jenna commented in sheer awe.
Beth immediately stood up and gestured for Sheree to stand, a look of total focus and intensity on her face as Sheree slowly and groggily made it to her feet.
"The Glamazon, sizing Sheree up!" JR observed.
"Look at the look in the Glamazon's eyes! Complete focus!" King noted.
"Yeah... I think she's realised not to take Sheree lightly! That she is competition!" Jenna added.
As soon as Sheree stood up, Beth grabbed her arms from behind and locked them in place before lifting the Boston brunette off the canvas, the fans crying out in awe at the sight. "What is this?!"
"Double chickenwing! The power of the Glamazon on display again!" JR exclaimed. Just as Beth Phoenix was about to slam Sheree face first into the mat, Sheree used the momentum to roll between Beth's legs, surprising the blonde haired woman with a wheelbarrow victory-roll counter pin attempt. "And the counter!"
"Whoa!" King exclaimed in surprise as the fans cried out in excitement.
"Sheree countered it into a victory roll!" Jenna cried out.
1...
"The shoulders are down! Could this be it?!" JR questioned.
2...
"And the Glamazon kicks out at two!" The fans cried out as Beth managed to power out of the surprise pin attempt.
"Wow!" King breathed as both Sheree and Beth Phoenix scrambled onto their feet, the Glamazon wasting no time in charging at Sheree, only for Sheree to catch her right in the face with a stinging roundhouse kick that left her struggling to stay on her feet in a daze. "OH!"
"Goodness me what a kick!" Jenna exclaimed as the fans let loose a loud 'Ohhh!' at the impact.
"I think I saw a tooth fly out!" King cried out in shock.
"The Glamazon is stunned! She's out on her feet!" JR added.
Seeing Beth stumble on her feet in a daze, Sheree immediately grabbed the Glamazon's head, wrapping her arm around her head, looking to hit the Snapshot, causing the fans to erupt in anticipation. "SHEREE!"
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" King exclaimed as Sheree threw the crowd an intense look, before lifting Beth off the mat, hitting the Snapshot and slamming Beth's face into the canvas between her legs with maximum impact!
"Snapshot! Sheree hit the Snapshot!" JR cried out, as the fans exploded at the sight.
"She hit it?!" King cried out in shock.
"Cover her! Cover her Sheree!" Jenna yelled out.
Sheree practically launched herself into the cover, hooking both legs whilst lying supine across the Glamazon's form.
"Snapshot connects!" JR cried out.
One!
"She hit it!"
Two!
"Has she done it?! The cover!"
Three!
"THREEE!"
"YES!" Jenna cheered.
"Oh my god! She won! Sheree beat Beth Phoenix!" King exclaimed as the New York crowd exploded, "Headstrong" blasting through the airwaves of Madison Square Garden.
"Sheree did it! Sheree is the #1 Contender for the Women's Championship!" JR cried out as Sheree rolled off the Glamazon.
"Yes! That's how you win your first Pay-Per-View Match!" Jenna cheered as Sheree gingerly stood up with a beaming smile on her face. She could hardly hear her theme music, because of the overly loud cheering from the massive crowd, nor could she hear Lilian Garcia announcing her as the winner.
"Here is your winner, and the #1 Contender for the WWE Women's Championship, Sheree Louise!"
There was a mild chorus of boos in the crowd as the referee raised her arm in victory, but the cheers easily drowned them out.
It looked like some of the fans wanted Beth Phoenix to win, but Sheree just shrugged it off and jumped up onto the nearest corner and celebrated with the fans, basking in the glory of her first Pay-Per-View win. She knew full well that not everyone was going to like her, and she did just beat Beth Phoenix in her home-state. She didn't mind it at all.
"I can't believe it! Beth Phoenix was beaten?!" King exclaimed, still shocked, but otherwise happy about the outcome of the match.
"I can! YOU ROCK SIS!" Jenna cheered enthusiastically as Sheree held her arms out in victory, receiving a loud reaction from the fans.
"She was able to kick out of a Fisherman Suplex!" JR said as replays of Sheree's winning Snapshot played throughout the arena. "Sheree persevered and has beaten one of the most dominant women in recent memory, with an emphatic Snapshot, and ladies and gentlemen, it only took one!"
"Wow!" King exclaimed in shock. "WOW!"
Sheree smiled at the reaction and stepped off the turnbuckle, leaving the ring. She made her way over to Jenna and the Raw broadcast table, bumping fists with her sister, both wearing ecstatic smiles on their faces, before Sheree walked off, beginning to make her way up the walkway, reaching up to tag hands with the fans that were standing over the tall LED boards that acted as a barricade.
"I have to say, that was an awesome match! And the atmosphere was absolutely insane! I can't even remember the last time we had a crowd react so strongly to a Divas match like that!" King commented.
"I'm so happy that my sister won! But Beth Phoenix deserves a lot of credit too! That match was amazing! Kudos to both ladies!" Jenna praised.
"Well one things for sure. We have just witnessed something truly special. This match may have raised the bar to a whole new level in the Divas Division!" JR said.
"Ain't that the truth! And we still have another Divas bout to get through. The Women's Championship match between Melina and Tara Stone!" King exclaimed in excitement.
"Damn! I almost forgot about that match!" Jenna replied.
Once Sheree reached the top of the walkway, she paused, before looking over her shoulder, finding herself on the receiving end of such a rage filled glare from Beth Phoenix, that it felt as if she was burning a hole through her.
The Glamazon sat in the ring, doing nothing but glaring up at Sheree with intense fury. Sheree let a smirk tug on her lips, which seemed to anger the Amazonian woman to the point that her glare turned down right frightening.
But Sheree didn't seem fazed. She had a feeling that this wouldn't be the last time her and the Glamazon squared off like that. And without a doubt, she knew she'll be ready when Beth Phoenix makes her move.
She almost couldn't wait!
