The show begins with a shot of the sold out 2300 arena and the camera pans over the ring set before panning over to the energetic crowd chanting "BLOW!", "BLOW!", "BLOW!"

Carlos: "Welcome everyone to the third night of Queen of the Ring! I'm Carlos Sanchez and I am here with Ethan Love and Natalie Gutierrez."

Natalie: "And what a show we have for you tonight!"

A graphic with the updated tournament brackets shown on screen

Natalie: "Four hard hitting matches to determine who will make it to the semifinals."

Ethan: "But enough yammering. Let's get to the action."

The graphic disappears and it cuts to the ring where the ring announcer is standing.

Ring Announcer: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall!"

Spring Tigress crawls onto the stage as the Tiger Mask W Opening theme plays

Ring Announcer: "Introducing first from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Spring Tigress!"

Carlos: "Spring Tigress shocked the world last night when she defeated Rayleen Barnett."

Ethan: "She didn't beat Rayleen, she SURVIVED Rayleen."

Spring Tigress crawls from the stage to inside the ring. Then she poses for the crowd.

"Clock Strikes" by One ok Rock as Lacey Alvarez enters through the crowd. She poses for fans while chewing bubble gum.

Ring Announcer: "And her opponent, from Sacramento, California, Lacey Alvarez!"

Ethan: "Here comes the other bracket breaker, Lacey."

Natalie: "Lacey has constantly been underestimated over the course of her career and got to silence some of her critics last night. "

Carlos: "While let's see if she can keep that streak going by beating Spring Tigress tonight."

Lacey jumps over the barricade and slaps the hands of some fans, before spitting out her gum and getting into the ring.

The bell rings and both women charge at each other. Tigress goes for a clothesline but Lacey ducks out of the way before running towards the ropes. The masked woman turns around and drops down and Lacey runs to the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. The shorter woman bounces off of them and does a cartwheel over the wildcat. The rookie stands back up and runs towards Lacey only for the more experienced wrestler to catch her with a hip toss.

Ethan: "No lock up, just charging right out the gate."

The wildcat rolls over to the nearest corner and stands up with her back leaning on the turnbuckles. Lacey goes for a handspring back elbow but the taller woman moves out of the way, causing the woman of anarchy to crash back first into the corner. Tigress grabs Lacey and irish whips towards the opposite corner but the shorter woman ends up jumping up onto the middle rope and starts climbing up to the top turnbuckle.

Natalie: "Wow. Tigress is going to have to catch up with Lacey if she wants to win this."

Ethan: "Or just wait for Lacey to slip up and take advantage."

The wildcat charges at Lacey only for the smaller woman to backflip out of the corner and over Tigress' head. The rookie turns around and charges at Lacey to go for a clothesline only for the veteran to move out of the way. This gives the shorter woman the opening to grab Tigress and hit a victory roll up. 1…Tigress reverses it with a victory roll of her own! 1...Lacey reverses it back! 1…kickout! Both women get back up and Tigress hits a headscissors but Lacey front flips and lands on her feet. The veteran turns around and gets hit with a lariat from the taller woman.

Carlos: "Tigress has finally shifted momentum."

Out of pure instinct, Lacey rolls out of the ring and onto the floor. Tigress exits the ring and stands on the ring apron. The wildcat turns around and grabs the top rope to go for an asai moonsault but Lacey grabs the taller woman's legs and pulls her down, causing her face to hit the apron before she lands on the floor.

Carlos: "A smart move by Lacey."

Lacey grabs Tigress' head and pulls her back up. Then she jumps up and puts her feet on the ring apron to give herself leverage before going for a tornado ddt but Tigress manages to reverse it into a suplex.

Natalie: "What a reversal from Tigress!"

Carlos: "Tigress putting her height advantage to good use."

Tigress grabs Lacey and rolls her back into the ring. The wildcat enters the ring and the veteran and runs at the shorter woman to go for a senton but Lacey rolls out of the way causing the taller woman's back to crash onto the mat. Both women get back up, Tigress nursing her back, and Lacey goes for the "Last Breath" (Superkick) but the masked woman rolls out of the way and then hits a school girl roll up. 1…kickout! Both women get back up and Tigress hits Lacey with a wheelbarrow hurricanrana, sending her into the ropes. The wildcat charges at the shorter woman and then grabs the ropes before hitting the tiger feint kick. Tigress walks over to the ring post and climbs up to the top turnbuckle. The wildcat steadies herself and raises her arms in the air while she waits for Lacey to get back up.

Ethan: "Tigress is about to put Lacey away with some Spring Cleaning."

The woman of anarchy gets back up but before the luchadora can do anything, Lacey runs towards the ropes and hits the top rope, crocheting Tigress on the top turnbuckle.

Natalie: "I felt that from here…"

Lacey slowly gets her feet up on the top rope before grabbing Tigress' head. She steadies herself to go for a spanish fly but the taller woman elbows her head repeatedly. Then the rookie slips down from the turnbuckle to get her feet back on the mat before grabbing the shorter woman. The wildcat runs out of the corner and hits the woman of anarchy with a sitout powerbomb then she holds onto the smaller woman for the pinfall. 1…2…kickout!

Natalie: "What a display of power by the wildcat."

Tigress smacks the mat in frustration before she flips Lacey over and mounts her back.

Carlos: "She better keep her temper in charge or it will cost her."

She hits the smaller woman with a stiff forearm strike to the back of her head and then hits 3 elbow strikes into the veteran's right shoulder blade. The masked woman stands up and grabs Lacey's hair before pulling her back up. Tigress goes for a spin kick but Lacey ducks, causing the luchadora to spin around. The veteran grabs the taller woman's waist and then hits a snap german suplex.

Carlos: "Lacey is back in control."

Lacey walks over to the nearest corner and climbs up to the top rope and waits for her taller opponent to get back up. Tigress slowly stands back up and Lacey jumps off the turnbuckle to go for a crossbody but the wildcat catches the shorter woman. Tigress hoists the woman of anarchy up over her head before walking to the middle of the ring. Then she hits Lacey with a military press.

Natalie: "You know, Tigress really doesn't get enough credit for her strength."

Tigress runs towards the ropes, does a handspring, bounces her legs off the ropes, and then does a backflip into a standing moonsault onto the smaller woman. No! Lacey gets her knees up.

Lacey stands back up as Tigress on her hands and knees. The woman of anarchy grabs Tigress' waist and pulls her back up. The veteran goes for another german suplex but the taller woman keeps her feet planted. The woman of anarchy goes for it again but the wildcat elbows the shorter woman in the face to get out of the hold. The masked wrestler turns around and knees her smaller opponent in the stomach before grappling her. Then she lifts Lacey up in the air. Tigress goes for a brainbuster but the shorter woman reverses it into a jumping ddt.

Carlos: "The back and forth. Who will regain momentum in their favor?"

Lacey walks over to the corner and climbs up the turnbuckles. The woman of anarchy raises her arms in the air before jumping off the turnbuckle to go for the "Pitch Perfect" (Spiral Tap) but Tigress rolls out the way. The wildcat stands back up and Lacey slowly gets up on her hands and knees. Tigress charges at Lacey and then jumps up causing her to hit a senton right onto the smaller woman's back. The luchadora grabs her smaller opponent and locks in the "Tiger Fang" (Rings of Saturn).

Natalie: "The Tiger Fang!"

Carlos: "Combined with that senton, it might be enough to put Lacey away."

Lacey struggles to fight out of the submission while Tigress maintains her grip. Out of desperation, Lacey shifts her weight to her right side to turn it into a roll up. 1…tw-Tigress reverses it into a crucifix roll up. 1…kickout!

Ethan: "Lacey gets out of the hold. What will Tigress do now?"

Both women get back up and Tigress performs a schoolgirl roll up. 1…tw-kickout! The wildcat holds onto the smaller woman and rolls their bodies through, leading to her back up standing up while holding Lacey. The masked wrestler hoists Lacey up onto her shoulders and then backs up to the middle of the ring.

Ethan: "What could she be planning here?"

Natalie: "An electric chair maybe?"

But the veteran elbows the masked woman's head and then twists her body and hits a "Beautiful Disaster" (Reverse Frankensteiner that drives the top of the opponent's head into the mat) on the taller woman. Then she keeps her feet hooked on the wildcat and transitions it into an o'connor roll. 1…2…kickout!

Carlos: "Well whatever Tigress was planning didn't work."

Out of instinct, Tigress rolls over to the other side of the ring and slowly crawls over to the ropes. Lacey walks over to the rookie and goes to grab her but the taller woman slips out of the way. Then she hits the woman of anarchy with a drop toe hold that causes her head to hit the middle rope. The masked wrestler grabs Lacey's right arm and wraps it around the middle rope before pulling it causing the referee to start counting.

Carlos: "Tigress smartly softening up that shoulder in case she is able to lock in another Tiger Fang."

Once the count gets to 4, Tigress lets go of her arm and then grabs her head to pull her off the rope. Then Tigress throws Lacey into the corner, causing the smaller woman's right shoulder to hit the ring post. The wildcat pulls the woman of anarchy out of the corner and grabs her arms. She hits a tiger suplex and holds onto it to bridge it for the pinfall. 1…2…kickout! Tigress grabs Lacey's hair before standing back up, pulling the smaller woman up with her. The luchadora goes for a powerbomb but the more experienced wrestler reverses it into a facebuster.

Lacey stands up and grabs Tigress' head before pulling her up. She goes for an irish whip but the taller woman reverses it into an irish whip of her own, causing the veteran to end up in the nearest corner. The wildcat runs towards the shorter woman and goes for a handspring elbow smash but Lacey catches her with a kick. Lacey grabs Tigress and climbs up onto the top turnbuckle. She goes for a tornado ddt but the wildcat slips out of her grip before hitting the smaller woman with a stiff forearm strike to the face. The masked wrestler climbs up onto the middle rope and grapples Lacey before hitting an avalanche flatliner.

Natalie: "Dios mios!"

The luchadora immediately grabs the smaller woman and locks in the "Tiger Fang" (Rings of Saturn)!

Carlos: "This might be it for Lacey!"

Lacey desperately tries to fight out of the hold while Tigress applies more pressure to the hold. The shorter woman slowly starts to move her body backwards. The veteran is about to get her foot on the bottom rope but Tigress manages to roll their bodies into the middle of the ring and locks the hold in even tighter, making sure to increase the pressure on Lacey's shoulder. The shorter woman can't take it anymore and taps out, causing the referee to signal for the bell to ring to end the match.

Ring Announcer: "Here is your winner, Spring Tigress!"

Natalie: "What a match to open tonight's show."

Ethan: "Lacey may have lost but she put up a hell of a fight."

Carlos: "Spring Tigress moves on to the next round and will face either Jenny Ace or Mei Wu Long which we will find out next."

Ring Announcer: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall!"

"Kill Jill" by Big Boi & Killer Mike plays as Mei walks out onto the stage. She crouches down and "sweeps" where she's standing before posing on the entrance way.

Ring Announcer: "Introducing first, from Chinatown, LA, Mei Wu Long!"

She side-shuffles down to the ring, and rolls into it. She then does her pose again.

"Square Up" by CFO$ plays as Jenny Ace shadow boxes onto the stage.

Ring Announcer: "And her opponent from San Antonio, Texas, Jenny Ace!"

Jenny Ace marches to the ring. When she enters the ring, she does a series of shadow punches.

The bell rings and both women immediately lock up. Jenny manages to overpower Mei and backs her up into the ropes. The referee counts to 4 before the prize fighter lets go of the china doll. Then she shoves her hand into the shorter woman's face.

Natalie: "Jenny's as peachy as usual…"

Mei responds by shoving Jenny back before slapping her in the face. Jenny goes for a roundhouse kick but Mei ducks. The prize fighter rotates her leg in the other direction to go for another kick but the china doll moves out of the way. Mei goes for a punch but Jenny moves out of the way and slips behind the shorter woman before performing a school girl rollup. 1…Mei rolls out of it and uses her legs to trap the taller woman's right arm.

Carlos: "A smart move by the technical genius."

The china doll reaches over and grabs the prize fighter's left arm before pulling it back. The technical genius twists the arm while Jenny tries to fight out of the hold. Jenny manages to shift her weight and lay her body back to get Mei's shoulders on the mat and turn the submission into a pinfall. 1…t-kickout!

Both women get back up and Jenny goes for a kick but Mei catches her ankle and twists it to turn it into an ankle lock.

Natalie: "Jenny keeps getting caught in submission holds by Mei."

Ethan: "But will Mei be able to follow through and get Jenny to tap out?"

The mma fighter tries to break the hold by getting her feet leg up to hit a step up enziguri but the technical genius dodges it. This causes the prize fighter to land stomach first onto the mat and gives Mei's ankle lock even more leverage.

Carlos: "Now the ankle lock is really locked in!'

Instead of panicking, Jenny manages to roll forward to escape the hold and turns it into an ankle lock of her own.

Ethan: "You were saying…."

The technical genius starts to crawl towards the ropes but the prize fighter pulls her shorter opponent towards her and then grabs her waist before hitting a release german suplex that sends Mei to the other side of the ring.

Natalie: "The power from Jenny!"

Carlos: "Jenny is firmly in control right now. What is Mei going to do?"

Mei rolls out of the ring and onto the ring apron and the mma fighter walks over towards her. Jenny stands on the apron as the technical genius gets up while leaning forward onto the ropes. Jenny goes behind Mei and grabs her waist to go for a german suplex but the china doll holds onto the middle rope. The prize fighter keeps pulling but the shorter woman keeps her grip on the rope. Mei takes her right hand off the rope and elbows the taller woman in the face. Jenny lets go of the china doll and her body turns to the left side.

Ethan: "Jenny is lucky that she didn't fall off the ring apron."

Carlos: "She better do something to maintain her balance."

The technical genius hits the self proclaimed ace with a knee strike to the head and then grapples her. The china doll hits the prize fighter with a suplex off the ring apron.

Natalie: "Right on the floor!"

The self proclaimed ace does the slit throat taunt at the hardcam before hoisting the shorter woman up on her shoulders to set up the "Technical Knockout" (GTS) but the china doll elbows the side of the prize fighter's head 3 times. Then she gets down and lands on her feet before shoving the taller woman forward, sending her towards the ropes. The mma fighter bounces off of them and runs back at the technical genius before hitting her with a skull kick. Then she hooks Mei's legs for the pin. 1…2…kickout!

Ethan: "I can hear the sound of that kick from here."

Jenny stands to slowly use her legs to move towards the ropes but Mei responds by repeatedly elbowing the side of the taller woman's head. This keeps happening until the self proclaimed ace stops moving and slips down to one knee. Mei then repositions herself and makes the "Dragon Clutch" even tighter.

Carlos: "Mei has Jenny exactly where she wants her."

Natalie: "Jenny might actually tap out!"

The prize fighter's free arm flails around again before it suddenly stops moving. The mma fighter slowly manages to stand back up onto her two feet while the china doll maintains her grip.

Ethan: "There is still more in the tank for Jenny."

Natalie: "Keep that hold on Mei! It's not over for you yet!"

Jenny slips out of the submission hold and hoists the shorter woman up on her shoulders. Then the prize fighter hits the "Technical Knockout" (GTS) and collapses on top of the china doll for the pinfall. 1…2…3!

Ring Announcer: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall!"

"I like it" by Cardi B plays and the crowd erupts as Alexis Guerrero comes out and hypes herself up on the stage.

Ring Announcer: "Introducing first, from El Paso, TX, Alexis Guerrero!"

Alexis confidently walks down the ramp and hits fans hands on the way down. She then slides herself into the ring, taking off her face bandana. As she climbs the turnbuckle, she beats on her chest and poses to the crowd.

Red, White and Blue pyro explodes from the stage as "You should see me in a crown" by Billie Eilish plays and Angelica cockily walks on stage.

Ring Announcer: "And her opponent, from Marietta, Georgia, Angelica Rhodes!"

Carlos: "Surprisingly Angelica is here on her own."

Ethan: "And thank god for that. The less I have to see of the 1-6 mafia, the better."

Angelica poses for the camera and then walks to the ring while talking trash to the crowd. Angelica gets into the ring and taunts the crowd before going to her corner.

Angelica stomps on Alexis's chest twice before pressing her foot on the latina's neck causing the referee to start counting again. Once the count gets to 4, the american princess puts her foot down. Then Angelica backs up to the middle of the ring and mockingly curtseys at Alexis.

Carlos: "Angelica is just playing with Alexis right now. She better be careful or it will come back to bite her."

Natalie: "Hopefully she keeps not being careful."

An annoyed Alexis gets out of the corner and goes to hit a clothesline but Angelica dodges it and ends up behind the luchadora before linking both women's arms together and pulling the shorter woman closer to her so their backs are touching. The american princess pulls the latina up and goes for a gory special but Alexis is able to get her arms out of the taller woman's grip and reverses the move into a sunset flip rollup. 1…kickout!

Natalie: "Goddammit!"

It's Madison Young! Madison picks the referee back up and throws him into the barricade for good measure.

Carlos: "Madison showing up to stop Angelica's opponent just like she did last night."

Ethan: "I was wondering when she was going to show up. Now where is the capital stormer? We all know these three are attached at the hip."

With a furious look on her face, Alexis stands up and turns to Madison's direction. SMASH! Liberty Belle hit the latina with a steel chair! The crowd loudly boos this and Alexis falls down to the mat.

Natalie: "This is bullshit! Where is security?!"

Liberty Belle stands over the luchadora, chair in hand and Alexis Espinosa's theme song plays to loud cheers.

Natalie: "Alexis Espinosa is here!"

Carlos: "No doubt she's here for revenge on Liberty Belle and Madison getting involved in her match."

Both standing members of American Heroes look at the stage before Madison leaves ringside and runs towards the stage. Liberty Belle turns back to the latina laying on the mat. She goes to hit the latina with attitude again but in the corner of her eye, she sees Alexis Espinosa enter the ring and charge at her. Liberty Belle swings the chair at Espinosa but the shorter woman ducks it and leg sweeps the blonde, causing her to fall onto the mat and drop the chair.

Both women get back, Natalia clutching her stomach while her back is to Sakura. The joshi wrestler hits the poisonrana but the queen of fire pops right back up and lets out a loud scream.

Natalie: "The fighting spirit from Natalia!"

The idol turns around, stunned at the latina. The queen of fire goes for a roundhouse kick but the shorter woman ducks. Sakura goes for a spinning heel kick only for the luchadora to duck it. Then Natalia jumps up and hits Sakura with a frankensteiner but the idol manages to roll through and turn it into a sunset flip rollup. 1…2…kickout!

Natalie: "Nice reversal from Sakura."

Both women stand back up. Natalia attempts a step enziguri but Sakura ducks it and hits another snap dragon suplex. Natalia bounces and ends up on both of her knees. Sakura charges at her and hits her with a double knee strike. Sakura walks over to the nearest corner and climbs up to the top rope. Natalia kips up and jumps up to hit the idol with a pele kick, stunning her.

Carlos: "Natalia keeps fighting through the pain but hold long can her body take it?"

The queen of fire climbs up to the middle rope and hits her with strikes. Natalia goes for a superplex but Sakura hits her with a stiff elbow strike on the top of her head. The latina's head moves down and the joshi wrestler hits her with another elbow strike, this time on the back of the taller woman's head. Sakura keeps hitting a fury of elbows on the back of Natalia's head. Then she grabs the luchadora's head and hits her with an avalanche ddt.

Natalie: "Holy shit!"

Both women are laying on the ring mat as the referee checks on both of them. Sakura slowly gets back up while Natalia is still not moving.

Ethan: "That ddt knocked Natalia out."

Carlos: "Especially combined with all the blows to the head she took in this match."

The idol walks over to the nearest corner and climbs up the top turnbuckle. The joshi wrestler raises her arm in the arm before jumping off the turnbuckle and hitting the "Mic Drop" (Elbow Drop). Then she hooks Natalia's legs for the pinfall. 1...2...3!

Ring Announcer: "Here is your winner, Sakura Yuri!"

Carlos: "Sakura defeats Natalia to move on to the semi finals."

Ethan: "I honestly didn't think it would happen but it did."

Natalie: "And it happened in a hell of a match."

Sandra Blaze rolls into the ring and gives Sakura a hug. Then they both walk over to Natalia who is seated while leaning her back on the ropes. They give the latina a hug before they help her out of the ring. Sandra puts her head under Natalia's right arm and Sakura puts her head under Natalia's left arm. They help escort her to the back as the show's logo appears on screen before the show fades to black.
