{A black screen. After some time, We get the usual intro, then we get more LAW event highlights, and then Evie Taylor, The A-Listers and Nyako holding up their respective titles. We cut from that to a live wide shot of the audience as they cheer wildly as "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera playings We go to Troy and Duke, already sitting down.}
Troy Franklin: Hello everyone and welcome to LAW #22, Live from Chicago! I'm Troy Franklin along with Duke King, and Duke, After tonight, we will know who is going to Rising Stars to become the next LAW champion
Duke King: That's right Troy, we've narrowed from 8 to 4. Mackenzie Roberts, Gabby Camacho, Oni Kymiku, and Alex Yin are all that's left, and after tonight, we'll be down to two.
Troy Franklin: Gabby and Mackenzie will be the Main Event tonight, Oni and Alex will also go one on one. And both the Marquee champion, and number one contenders will be in action as their last tune up as well.
Duke King: That's right, Fujiko Mine will take on Natasha Rose, my personal favorite, and Nyako will have her hands full with one half of the tag team champions, Crystal Hilton!
Troy Franklin: Plus, Keira Fisher will take on Kate Steele, and speaking of Kate, we're kicking it off, with Jennifer's Junction, with Kate Steele as the guest! So let's go to our lovely interviewer, Jennifer Drew!
{“New Horizons” starts playing as the camera pans in to see Jenn Drew standing in the ring with the set up for her Jennifer’s Junction talk show. The crowd is giving her a warm reaction as she stands there with a smile on her face and the camera zooms in on her.}
Jenn: Hello ladies and gentlemen, I would like to express my apologies for not being on here last show but, I was battling a slight case of the flu. Nevertheless though, I’m here this week and I have a superb guest lined up for all of you. Please welcome my fellow countrywoman and the first ever L.A.W. Champion, Kate Steele!
{Monster by Paramore hits as Kate Steele slowly hits the ring. She is instantly booed but she blows them off as she makes her way into the ring. She raises a fist into the air which draws even more boos, but she keeps her composure as she turns her attention over to Jenn.}
Kate: Thank you so much for having me. It truly is a privilege and an honour to be here tonight. Granted I wish I was still in the World title tournament but I have another agenda.
{Jenn looks at her with a bit of a puzzled look on her face.}
Jenn: Another agenda? Do elaborate.
{Jenn offers Kate a seat on one of the chairs set up in the ring as she takes one herself. Kate smiles as she takes a seat.}
Kate: Well it’s been the thing I been talking about for months upon months, but I want that Marquee Championship. I am hell bent on getting it. Not that I am crying about Fujiko getting the title shot but let’s be honest here. A month or two ago I beat Fujiko in the middle of the ring. It was on the last Pay Per View show. I beat her, and yet she gets to face me in a number one contenders match for that title?! How is that even fair? There should have been no contenders match because she was already beaten. I shouldn’t have had to face her again. Call me a crybaby, call me whatever but Fujiko got beat. And that’s my end point.
Jenn: As much as I like to be impartial and fair on this show, I can’t help but agree with you here. I just don’t see how someone you defeated at a major event can honestly be considered for a shot at a title. You should have been next in line.
{That comment doesn’t do Jenn any favors as the crowd boos her a little bit.}
Jenn: Boo me all you want but, the truth hurts sometimes.
{Kate stands up as she places a single finger over her lips.}
Kate: ...Shhhhh silence is golden. Please show Ms. Drew some respect. She is simply out here trying to tell it like it is. There’s no reason for all of you to act as a bunch of ignorant idiots. Sorry about them Jenn. I know they normally love you. Sorry if some of this negativity had to come your way but I prefer to speak my mind to let all of them know that I was cheated. I am the rightful NUMBER ONE CONTENDER for the Marquee title! And what does a great star as myself get to show for it?! I get to face Keira tonight? Are you kidding me?! You know it, these people know it, I know it, and Lucas Dupree knows it that I am above that. I was the very first World Champion in this damn company. My name needs to be in the main event, not opening the show in some curtain jerker.
Jenn: The more you talk, the more I have to completely agree with you here. You do nothing but bring up some really good points. People could learn a lot from you.
{The crowd boos Jenn and Kate a little more as you can see Jenn starting to get slightly annoyed but soaking it all in.}
Jenn: Big bloody deal, I agree with a woman that has done nothing but speak the truth here. Can you really argue with her right now?
Kate: They won’t answer because they know that the both of us are right. I was in fact cheated and in my match at the last show. Oni was mere inches away from trying to attack me after the fact. I think Sidney Grey had it right. Oni should have been disqualified and I should be the one moving on. Speaking of Sid I miss her presence. She was truly a person who told it like it is, and stood up for what she believed in. Such a shame we don’t see much of her anymore.
Jenn: She seems like a really stand up person. So, the world wants to know now that you are out of the World Title tournament, and you were cheated out of being the number one contender for the Marquee Title, what’s next for Kate Steele?
{Kate smiles as she looks back at Jenn.}
Kate: Well I am not going to rest until I get a Marquee title match, and I won’t rest until I get it… But as for the present. You could say things are in motions… And those things I will have to keep a secret.
Jenn: Come on, you can tell me Kate. We’re friends right? Give me a Jennifer’s Junction exclusive.
{Kate smiles as she looks at all of the screaming fans.}
Kate: It’s a secret Jenn. We may be close but you will have to wait just like everyone else. However I will say you don’t have to wait too long…
{Kate grins.}
Kate: There’s no better night than tonight to show you what I am talking about.
Jenn: You better believe that I will be glued to a monitor all night then to see what this big announcement of yours is then. Knowing you, it’s going to be nothing short of epic. It’s always go big or go home for you and I know this will be no different.
Kate: Of course it will be. You are talking about Kath-Lyn Steele, and she never disappoints. But if you wanted to know who I want to fight more than ever well that answer is one I can give you straight up.
Jenn: Do tell then!
Kate: Well if for some reason...She loses against Mackenzie which she will… Because Mackenzie’s my pick to win the whole thing. I would like a final match with Gabby Camacho. One to settle our long standing feud once and for all. She beat me once. beat her once. We need to settle it, and if management so desires it could be a match worth something special.
Jenn: Now, I know that’s a match all of these people would love to see right?
{The crowd gives out a pop for Jenn as she smiles.}
Jenn: I’m also sure Gabby would have no problem facing you for a third time either because everyone knows she’s not going to make it past Mackenzie tonight.
Kate: This is why I like you Jenn… You tell it like it is.
Jenn: That’s the whole point of this show, ask the questions everyone wants to know and just tell people how it is.
Kate: Thank you for having me, even though these idiots didn’t appreciate any of it.
Jenn: It was my honor to have you here. Well, that’s all the time we have for this edition of Jennifer’s Junction. I’ll see you in two weeks for another exciting edition with another amazing guest.
{“New Horizon” begins to play again as the camera zooms out and we fade out.}
{Back from break, and Kate is still in the ring from the interview. “Sinner” by Drowning Pool hits, and Keira appears with a serious look on her face. She jogs down the aisle, slides inside the ring, spearing Kate off her feet to a huge pop!}
Troy Franklin: Listen to the crowd! There is no doubt Keira is focused night!
{Keira begins hammering Kate in the forehead with right hands. Keira stands and and screams to the crowd, drawing a loud pop. She bounces off the ropes and dropkicks the kneeling Kate right in the forehead, making a snapping noise and drawing cheers from the crowd. Keira stands and hops to the middle turnbuckle, raising her arms in the air to draw a pop from the crowd. Kate stands and sneaks behind her. She quickly hops to the middle rope beside her, grabs her, and nails her with a Side Russian Legsweep off the middle rope!}
Duke King: Haha! NEVER turn your back on your opponent!
{Kate rolls through with the momentum and covers Keira. 1…..2… kickout by Keira. Kate stands and lifts Keira to her feet. She whips her into the ropes and tosses her into the air. Keira turns it into a Hurricanrana in mid-air! Keira stands to a huge pop, then turns and drops down with a lateral press on Kate. 1……2…..kickout!}
Troy Franklin: PHENOMENAL Hurricanrana by Keira! Kate just BARELY got her shoulder up that time!
{Kate quickly rolls outside the ring for a breather. Keira shakes her head "no", then rushes toward the corner. He leaps to the top rope and immediately springs off, landing a plancha on Kate to a HUGE ovation from the crowd! Keira stands and sets up Kate parallel to the guardrails. He runs toward the left-most guardrail, leaps up, and springboards backward off of it, nailing a moonsault! Keira stands and runs her fingers through her hair, enjoying the huge crowd reaction. He slides back inside the ring and waits for Kate to stand, holding her ribs. Keira grabs the top rope, pulls back, then slingshots outside with a somersault plancha! Keira stands, lifts Kate, and slides her back inside the ring. Keira rolls inside and lifts Kate to her feet. He kicks her in the gut, then delivers a DDT! Keira hooks the near leg 1…..2…kickout.}
Troy Franklin: Boy, Keira is so quick!
{Keira picks up Kate, who counters with a rake of the face. Kate takes Keira and sends her back into a corner. He draws back before firing with a chop to the chest. She follows through with a few more chops before sending Keira across to the opposite corner. Kate runs in after her, but Keira stops herself against the turnbuckles and puts her boot up. She connects and Kate is nailed in the face. Kate stumbles backwards and Keira hops up onto the second turnbuckle. Keira flies off the middle turnbuckle and hits Kate with a Missile Dropkick. Kate goes down and Keira is quick to get down and hook the leg. 1……2.. kickout by Kate.}
Troy Franklin: Almost a three!
{Keira backs Kate into the corner and chops her, before driving some shoulders into her gut. The referee then begins his count, reaches four, and forces the break-up. Keira finally lets Kate go and gets in the face of the referee. After a few harsh words, Keira is surprised to get school boyed from behind by Kate. 1……2… Keira kicks out of it.}
Troy Franklin: Quick roll-up almost stole one for Kate!
{Both are back up. The exchange a few punches before Keira grabs Kate. She attempts whipping her but gets it turned around and Keira is sent across the ring and chest first into the turnbuckles. She stumbles backwards right into a waistlock. Kate picks up Keira and drops her right on her neck with an INCREDIBLE German Suplex!}
Duke King: High impact move right there, Troy.
{Kate walks to a corner and climbs to the middle turnbuckle. She flies off and connects with a Flying Elbow right to the heart of Keira. A pinfall to follow it up. 1…..2… Keira escapes. Kate picks up Keira, but Keira is quick with right and left handed shots to the ribs of Kate. A few more punches and Keira hooks Kate. Keira lifts Kate up in the air and holds her there. He drops Kate stomach first down onto the ropes before snapping her back in a third Suplex! Keira stands and screams out to the fans gaining a positive reaction once more. Keira backs up against the ropes before stepping in and dropping a knee across the head of Kate. Keira is quick to cover Kate. 1……2….. Kickout!}
Troy Franklin: Kate gets the right shoulder up!
Duke King: Barely a kickout by the UK Superstar...just barely!
{Keira takes Kate up to her feet and hooks her from behind in a waistlock position. He struggles to get Kate up in a Suplex, but cannot get her up. Kate then shoots her elbow back behind her and hits Keira with a quick shot to the face. Keira breaks the hold and doubles over. Kate turns around and underhooks the arms of the weakened Keira. He picks her up in the air from the underhooked position and holds her upsidedown for about 15 seconds.}
Troy Franklin: Look at the power of Kate!
{Kate then falls back down onto her ass and DRIVES Keira head first into the mat with a DOUBLE UNDERHOOKED PILEDRIVER!}
Troy Franklin: DOUBLE UNDERHOOKED PILEDRIVER! MY GOD! Keira's neck could be broken!!
{Kate stands up and lets out a long laugh as he mocks both the fans and Keira. The arena fills with boos for Kate.}
Duke King: Why doesn't she cover her?!
{Kate then screams out "It's over!" He drops down to her knees and then covers Keira. 1…..2…..3NO! }
Troy Franklin: KEIRA KICKED OUT! KEIRA BY GOD JUST KICKED OUT!
{Kate can’t believe it as she covers again. 1……2….Keira rolls the shoulder! Kate, bewildered, stands and looks down at Keira who’s stirring. Kate grabs Keira by the hair and pulls her up, before lifting her onto her shoulders, readying for the Punk driver, but Keira springs to life, and wriggles down the back of Kate, turning into a sunset flip! 1…..2…..3NO! Kate rolls out!}
Troy Franklin: Kate BARELY escapes!
{Keira questions the count, and Kate is quick to mow her down with a clothesline before she can react. Kate again grabs Keira who’s stunned, and lifts her again, this time completing the Punk Driver! Kate covers, hooking both legs! 1……2…..3!}
Troy Franklin: And Kate Steele escapes this match with a win. Keira gave her a run for her money no doubt.
Duke King: If Keira keeps this up, she’ll be a title contender in no time! Someone lit a fire under her, and I like it!
{Kate rolls off of Keira exhausted, and obviously a little shocked at what took place. Keira is already stirring and getting to her knees, and Kate rolls out under the ropes and looks back, obviously with a newfound respect for Keira.}
{"Going Under" hits and Natasha Rose strolls out, and then arrogantly sneers at the fans, before heading down the ring.}
Duke King: That's my girl, Natasha Rose is so talented.
Troy Franklin: She is a tough challenge for anyone!
{The low rumbling synth beats rumble through the arena, and warps into a funky beat that tells the crowd who is on their way. The crowd begins to cheer for Lady Luck. Fujiko leaps through the curtain, jumping into the air and whipping her head forward. Her hair follows a moment later, and when she lands she has a large grin on her face. The crowd that is on her side sings along to the 'whoas' in the song, which really gets her hyped up. She begins bobbing her head to the music for a moment before slapping hands with the fans. Once she reaches ringside, she then slides into the ring, a determined look on her face. She climbs onto the center rope and poses for the crowd, then front flips into the ring, ready to start the match.}
Troy Franklin: And here we go.
{Fujiko and Natasha lock up. Fujiko overpowers into a side headlock. She backs Natasha against the ropes. Natasha then shoves Fujiko away. Fujiko goes off the opposite ropes. She comes back and Natasha drops down; Fujiko hops over Natasha and goes off the ropes again. Natasha gets back up, and Fujiko leapfrogs over her. Fujiko goes off the ropes, comes back, and Natasha hooks the arm. She tries for the Hip toss. She cannot do it. Fujiko spins over, now trying to lift Natasha for the Hip toss. Natasha twists it around one last time. She tries lifting for the Hip toss. She can't. She kicks Fujiko in the gut. Fujiko bends forward. Natasha puts her leg behind Fujiko's head and flips herself over on her feet and out of the hooked Hip toss position. Just as she lands on her feet, though, she is Clotheslined right down by Fujiko gaining a decent crowd pop. Fujiko lifts Natasha back up to her feet and shoots her off the ropes. She hits her coming back with a Back Body Drop that sends Natasha way up into the air. Natasha hits the mat, yelps in pain. Natasha falls back into one of the corners. Fujiko backs up. She charges in and jumps. She looks for the big splash in the corner, but Natasha dodges at the last moment. Fujiko hits the top turnbuckle face first. She begins stumbling out of the corner and falls down onto her face.}
Troy Franklin: Fujiko was looking for that splash in the corner. The rookie, Natasha, however was able to dodge at the last moment.
{Fujiko is back up and Natasha grabs her. She hooks her and Snap Suplexes her right over. Natasha holds onto the move. She picks Fujiko back up and delivers another Snap Suplex. She lifts Fujiko up for a third time, and this time hits the Snap Suplex into a floatover. 1…….2… Fujiko gets the right shoulder up. Natasha lifts Fujiko up and hits a stiff chop to the chest. The crowd "Whoo"s loudly. Natasha hits another chop to the chest. Fujiko now looks straight into the eyes of Natasha. He invites Natasha to chop her again. Natasha obliges with the loudest chop yet. Fujiko now shakes her head and no sells. Fujiko now hits Natasha with a knife edge chop of her own sending waves throughout the arena. Fujiko hits another chop. She then throws Natasha off the ropes. She catches her coming back by the back of the neck and throws Natasha right over the ropes and out of the ring! Natasha stands outside the ring, regrouping. Inside the ring, Fujiko points out to Natasha. She then goes off the ropes, runs back, and jumps through the top and second ropes all the way onto Natasha outside with a Suicide Dive!}
Troy Franklin: My God! Fujiko just turned into a human missile and was shot right at Natasha Rose outside the ring!
{Fujiko is back up. She grabs Natasha and rolls her under the ropes back into the ring. Fujiko hops back onto the apron. She grabs the top rope, throws herself over, and lands on Natasha with a Slingshot Legdrop. Cover by Fujiko. 1……2… kickout by Natasha. Fujiko lifts Natasha back up. She body slams Natasha onto the canvas right by one of the corners. Fujiko walks to the turnbuckles and hops onto the second turnbuckle. She screams out to the crowd before jumping off and connecting with an elbow smash right to the chest. She pins. 1…..2…. kickout by Natasha. Fujiko once again stands. She goes over to pick Natasha up, but Natasha grabs Fujiko and out of nowhere rolls her into a cradle! 1…..2…. barely a kickout by Fujiko!}
Troy Franklin: Natasha almost stole one!
{Both women are back up. Natasha is first to take over with a forearm to the face of Fujiko. She then grabs her and whips Fujiko across to the corner. Once reaching the corner, Fujiko quickly grabs ahold the top rope and pushes up. She jumps out behind the running Natasha. Natasha runs chest first into the corner. She stumbles backwards. Fujiko grabs her for a Belly To Back Suplex. She tries lifting her, but Natasha flips back over behind Fujiko. Natasha picks Fujiko up from behind and delivers a huge inverted DDT! Natasha makes the cover! 1…….2… Fujiko kicks out.}
Troy Franklin: Natasha once again is able to take control!
Duke King: These two girls are really going all out with a lot of intensity in their matchup...and I like it!
{Natasha now steps onto the apron and climbs to the top turnbuckle. Fujiko is now up to her feet. Natasha jumps off for a Cross Body, but Fujiko ducks! Natasha goes stomach first down onto the canvas with the failed Cross Body off the top turnbuckle! Natasha slowly is back up to her feet. She walks backwards and right into a stunning Boob-plex by Fujiko! 1…..2.....3NO! Natasha kicks out!}
Troy Franklin: Kickout by Natasha! How did she get out of that one?
{Fujiko lifts Natasha back up. She throws her off the ropes. Fujiko puts her knee out to hit Natasha coming back, but on the way back Natasha flips over Fujiko's leg and rolls her up. 1….2…. kickout! Both are back up. Natasha charges at Fujiko. Fujiko catches the arm of Natasha on the way off and turns her around right into a Backslide pin. 1…..2… Natasha kicks out. Both are up again. Fujiko runs for a clothesline, but Natasha ducks under, rebounds and catches Fujiko with a spear! Natasha lifts Fujiko back up to her feet and hooks her for a suplex. She lifts her up halfway, looking for a, but Fujiko is able to kick back in mid-air and deliver a huge DDT! Natasha is down and Fujiko quickly hops out onto the apron. She jumps up to the top. She signals to the crowd. He then flips off the turnbuckles and down onto Natasha with her trademark Endless Fantasy! Fujiko throws and arm over! 1…..2…..3!}
Troy Franklin: Fujiko survives!
{Natasha kicks out a second too late, as Fujiko rolls to the outside to collect herself. Natasha slowly sits up and breaths heavy as she questions the count. Fujiko smiles on the outside as she holds the back of her neck.}
Troy Franklin: Natasha was a second too late, but she has nothing to be ashamed off.
Duke King: Natasha almost got her. She’ll be back!
{Fujiko heads up the ramp as Natasha kicks the rope in frustration.}
{All of a sudden "Superstar" by Lupe fiasco starts playing all over the Pa system. Two lights are pointed at the entrance way. Crystal Emerges through the curtains and is greeted by multiple pyros that start shooting off one by one. The crowd roars at her with a loud ovation of boos and she slowly makes her way out walking down the aisle. Crystal cracks a grin as her photographers line up to take a picture of her. She finally makes it to the ring and places one foot on the apron and stretches the other one on the apron as well. She does a split to enter the ring and she finally makes it to her feet. She smiles bouncing around a bit as she awaits her opponent to come out..}
Troy Franklin: Crystal Hilton back in action tonight!
Duke King: Always like seeing Crystal around here!
{“You’re Going Down” starts playing and Nyako emerges from the back to a mixture of boos and cheers. She starts down the ramp way scanning the crowd before turning her attention the the empty ring or her opponent inside and walks slowly down to the end on the ramp.
At the end of the ramp she gets a running start and hops up on the apron before climbing through the middle ropes quickly to the inside of the ring. After entering the ring she walks over to a corner and raises her arms in the air with her index fingers pointed at the sky as a few pyrotechnics explode In the ring behind her and the crowd reacts.
She hops down from corner and turns her full attention to her opponent.}
Troy Franklin: Nyako is a little preoccupied with the controversy surrounding her sister Oni, but she none the less, looks ready to go.
{The two stand there for a moment, sizing the other woman up. Nyako goes for a quick right hand, but Crystal ducks it! Crystal throws a right to the face. Then another right. Then another right! She grabs the arm of Nyako and fires him into the ropes. On the way back, Nyako tries hitting a Clothesline, but again Crystal ducks under the attack. And when Nyako is coming back off the ropes a second time, Crystal jumps up and hits a Flying Clothesline of her own that takes Nyako off her feet! As soon as Nyako hits the ground, she rolls over to the ropes then under them and out to the floor. He paces back and forth, pushing her hair back out of his eyes and catching his breath. Inside the ring Crystal is calling out to her, ready to get it on. Nyako nods and slowly re-enters the ring.}
Troy Franklin: Nyako took a quick timeout right there.
Duke King: The match got fast paced, exactly what Crystal likes, so Nyako wisely slowed the momentum down.
{She goes back to Crystal, and the two enter a collar and elbow tie up. They jockey for position, and the bigger Nyako is able to gain the first advantage with a Side Headlock. Crystal adjusts her footing before shoving Nyako forward into the ropes. But coming back, Nyako is easily able to knock Crystal off her feet with a running Shoulderblock. As soon as she hits her, Nyako's backing up into the ropes one more time, but Crystal kips up to her feet. She ducks under the Lariat from Nyako and the Marquee Champion goes into the ropes yet again. In the center of the ring, Crystal ducks down perhaps for the Back Body Drop attempt. Nyako manages to stop short and she kicks Crystal straight in the face, sending her up to a full standing up position thing. Nyako then finally nails the Clothesline, taking Crystal down and out. Nyako bounces back into the ropes for some momentum, then comes in and drops the big leg across the throat of Crystal. Nyako goes for the cover. 1……2…. and a kickout by Crystal.}
Troy Franklin: And now, Nyako has control.
{Nyako lifts Crystal up to her feet, but as she's getting up Crystal is able to fire off a few shots to the midsection to weaken the champion. When she's good and ... weakened ... Nyako is sent into the ropes by Crystal and on the way back he gets picked up and planted with a big Spinebuster! Crystal rolls through into the cover. 1……2…. and Nyako kicks out. When Crystal is up, she begins stomping away at Nyako, as she's trying to get back up. And when she is indeed up, Crystal pulls him into a hooked position. He lifts Nyako up, stalls it a bit, and then brings her down with a snap suplex! Crystal floats over into the cover. 1.….2…. and Nyako again manages to power out of the cover. Crystal brings Nyako up to her feet and again hooks her for the Suplex. However, Nyako throws a couple of rights out there and connects with the ribs of Crystal. Crystal lets go, and Nyako hits a wicked right hand to the face of Crystal that sends the tag champion across the ring and into a corner.}
Troy Franklin: What a shot. Crystal got ROCKED by that shot.
{Nyako comes in after her and drives her back elbow into the face, crushing Crystal in the corner. Crystal is nearly taken off her feet, but uses the ropes and turnbuckles to get back up completely. Again Nyako hits the back elbow, and again Crystal is nearly down. Then Nyako gets all mean and sneaky by putting his right boot across the throat of Crystal, pushing her back against the top turnbuckle and choking the hell out of her. The ref makes his count and Nyako breaks after the count is long over with and the ref has had to pull him away. Nyako's all up in the ref's face for putting his hands on her, and he's pissed and stuff. This gives Crystal some much needed time to get back into it, and when Nyako turns around he gets a boot to the midsection and then a Snap DDT!}
Troy Franklin: Crystal is taking it to the champion!
Duke King: Nyako clearly looks like her head is not in the game tonight.
{Crystal gets up and crouches. Nyako's slowly back up ... and when he is, Crystal steps in and throws his arm over his head, hooking t-bone suplex position ... but Nyako throws his elbow to the side and connects with the Crystal' head! Crystal stumbles across the ring before turning back around and walking right into a kick right to the head! Crystal goes down and Nyako makes the cover! 1…..2…3NO! Crystal barely escapes!}
Troy Franklin: And Crystal barely escapes.
{Nyako looks at Crystal on the mat a little frustrated. Nyako then gets up and pulls Crystal up, into powerbomb position. Nyako goes to lift Crystal, but Crystal counters and double legs Nyako, looking for the Withering Rose!}
Troy Franklin: Withering Rose! Out of nowhere!
Duke King: What a counter!
{Nyako fights and squirms, trying not to let Crystal complete the move. Crystal tries turning the larger Nyako, but the resistance is heavy. Nyako stiffens to not let herself be taken over, but Crystal turns the other way, and is able to get Nyako to turn! Crystal sits down, but Nyako is right near the ropes, and grabs them for the break!}
Troy Franklin: Nyako just saved herself there.
{Crystal breaks and then drags Nyako away from the ropes, and tries again for the Withering Rose! Nyako is able to kick her away into the ropes, but when Crystal comes back, she again grabs the legs of Nyako, but instead of going for the Withering Rose, Crystal completes a jackknife pin out of nowhere! 1……2…….3!}
Troy Franklin: CRYSTAL WINS! CRYSTAL JUST UPSET NYAKO!
Duke King: Nyako good lured into a trap almost by Crystal! She was prepping to block that Withering Rose, and bam, out of the nowhere, Crystal caught her napping!
{Crystal rises as Nyako is dejected and stunned by the turn of events. She shakes her head in disbelief as Crystal gets her hand raised. Nyako looks up at Crystal celebrating, and then quickly, Nyako takes her title, throws it over her shoulder, and walks away, obviously preoccupied with other things.}
{“Finale” by Madeon begins to play over the sound system, and the crowd begins to cheer as Fujiko Mine pushes aside the curtain, dressed in street attire. She has in her hand a LAW branded microphone. She comes halfway down to the ring before stopping, and waiting for her music to fade. As it does, she looks out at the crowd with a smile.}
Fujiko Mine: Chicago, it’s great to be here!
{The crowd bites, cheering loudly.}
Fujiko Mine: It’s going to be great getting to face Natasha Rose in front of you all. But she isn’t the reason I’m out here speaking my mind.
{The crow dies down to a murmur as she takes a moment.}
Fujiko Mine: I’m here to talk about Nyako. When I beat Kate Steele a few weeks ago…
{Some of the crowd boos at this. Fujiko merely shrugs.}
Fujiko Mine: I earned the right to face the Marquee champion at Rising Stars. I earned it. Let anyone who thinks I didn’t...
{She cocks her head}
Fujiko Mine: Including Kate Steele, moan and cry about it if they want. But I get the chance to fulfill my goals. If I beat Nyako by pinfall or submission, I will be your new Marquee champion. But it means so much more than that. I means that I will stand in front of you...with my first ever singles championship.
{The crowd begins to pick up again.}
Fujiko Mine: Winning this match, and the championship means more to me than any of you could really know. So I am going to do everything I can to leave Rising Stars as your NEW Marquee champion! I’d bet your luck on it.
{The crowd cheers, minus those who are fans of Nyako, and Fujiko smirks. “Finale” plays again, and Fujiko turns on a heel before heading backstage again.}
{“The End is the Beginning is the End” by Smashing Pumpkins plays as Uzai Kazama walks through the entranceway waving the flag of the United Sisters of Asia (USA). The fans boo as they chant U.S.A. in support of the United States of America, but Uzai echoes the chant to antagonize the crowd. Oni walks out and pauses briefly to assess the crowd, before heading slowly to the ring, as Uzai walks ahead, continuing to wave the USA flag. They ignore the booing fans as they make their way down the ramp towards the ring. She pauses at ringside and allows Uzai to hold the ropes open for her to enter the ring and face her competition.}
Troy Franklin: Oni defeated Kate Steele last week to advance, even though there was some controversy at the end of that match...
Duke King: Controversy? No, Oni tried to permanently injure Kate, and she should be disqualified for it!
Troy Franklin: That's the opinion of some, but she's here, and she's got a tough test ahead.
{Wooden Ships starts as Alex leaps out and throws a fist in the air. She then backs up and does a somersault on the spot, with green fireworks shooting out as she lands. She then saunters down to the ring, giving high-fives, posing with fans for photographs, playing air guitar, doing a robot dance etc.. Alex then hops up onto the ring apron, runs across and climbs a turnbuckle before backflipping into the ring.}
Troy Franklin: This should be an awesome match!
{Both men just do the stare-down at first, and there's no action and stuff. But then Alex hits a quick right hand to the face, then another, then another ... and Oni shows no reaction! Alex grabs Oni by the arm and shoots her into the ropes. Out goes Alex's arm on the Clothesline attempt, but Oni ducks under it. One more time into the ropes, and now Oni comes in with a wicked Big Boot to the face! Alex's down and holding her jaw. As Alex's working his way up, Oni's hitting some massive shots to the upper back/shoulder area. Then she's got Alex up, and she sends her into the ropes. Oni goes for the Big Boot one more time, but Alex scouts it out and drops to the mat, sliding underneath Oni. She pops up to his feet behind Oni, and traps him in a waistlock. During the effort to break free, Alex pushes Oni forward right into the ropes. Alex tries pulling Oni back with the Rolling Prawn Cradle, but Oni holds onto the ropes and just pushes Alex back. Alex's sent back on the mat, and she rolls over her head in a reverse somersault on the canvas before coming up to his feet. Oni turns herself around and immediately nails a Lariat that flips Alex over in mid-air, and it looks bad. Evil even. Oni gets down beside him and goes for the lateral press. 1……2… Alex kicks out. Oni's up and drops an elbow right to the heart of the Alex. Then she's up again, and she drops yet another elbow. Alex rolls across the canvas, clutching her chest. She's over to the corner, and she's pulling herself up on the turnbuckles. Oni comes over towards her; Alex with his back to her. Oni's about to grab her, but Alex throws a back elbow that nails Oni in the face. Alex turns himself around, then throws a right hand and Oni's staggering. She grabs Oni and she throws her into the corner, back-first. Then Alex is in with some more fists and some more fists and some more fists.}
Troy Franklin: Alex is not backing down!
Duke King: She can't afford to, it's for all the marbles!
{Aelx grabs the arm, and he launches Oni across the ring to the opposite corner. Oni hits the buckles with his back, and Alex's coming in after her. Up in the air goes Alex, then down comes Alex, with a splash in the corner! Alex grabs the top rope beside her and hops over, landing on the apron. With the impact from the Stinger Splash still making her hurting and stuff, Oni stumbles forward out of the corner. Vass grabs the top rope and he pulls back, working up momentum and some stuff like that. Then she sends herself forward, jumping up onto the top rope, and then comes at Oni with a Springboard Cross Body ... but Oni catches her! Oni takes a few steps back, then throws Alex OVER her head and OVER the ropes to the outside with a Fallaway Slam!}
Troy Franklin: Oni just LAUNCHED Alex Yin to the floor!
Duke King: Oni has that bad temper!
{On the floor, Alex's laying on her stomach and looking hurt as hell. Oni goes through the ropes and drops down to the floor. She grabs Alex, pulling her up to his feet. Then she's got him up, clasping his hands around the midsection of the “Adorkable one” . Then she charges forward with him, ramming Alex's spine into the steel ring post! Alex falls, lands on the floor and looking bad. Oni grabs her with one hand on the head, and she takes her up to her feet, before rolling her under the ropes to the inside. Oni slides in after, then goes for the cover. 1……2…. kickout by Alex. Oni doesn't show much sign of frustration, and she brings Alex up to her feet. She takes the head between the legs, PowerDriver position. The fans start making some noise, because whether they like it or not, the something big looks like it's on the way. Oni locks his hands around the midsection and then brings Alex up in the air onto his shoulders ... and Vass snaps back with a Hurricanrana into a pin! 1……2….3NO! - kickout! Both women are quickly to their feet, and Oni, who's obviously embarrassed, goes for a quick Clothesline that Alex ducks under it. Then it's right hand, right hand, right hand to the face of Oni. Into the ropes Oni goes, and is nailed with dropsault!}
Troy Franklin: Alex is on fire here!
{The crowd's going crazy with the pops of damnation, and Alex goes through the ropes onto the apron. She waits for Oni to start getting up to his feet, and Alex's pulling back on the ropes for some momentum. Oni's up, and she turns around to take a look at Alex on the apron. Then Alex's up, leaping onto the top rope and then across the ring with a Springboard Hurricanrana ... that Oni catches and counters with a Powerbomb! The crowd goes insanely insane, and Oni makes the cover with a hook of the inside leg. 1……2…..3NO! Alex Kicks out!!}
Troy Franklin: How in the word did Alex kick out of that!?
{Oni can't believe it, and she's got Alex up to his feet. She brings him between his legs one more time, PowerDriver style. He lifts him up onto his shoulders one more time, in hopes of a second powerbomb, but Alex flips over the head and takes Oni down with a Victory Roll! 1……2….3NO! kickout! They're back up again and Oni goes for a swinging right hand, but Alex ducks under the attack. When Oni's in mid-turn, with his back to Alex, Alex jumps up ONTO the back of Oni and has her with a Sleeper Hold! The fans pop for it, but it doesn't last long, as Oni goes backward with all his might and rams Alex into the turnbuckles! The grip's broken, and Oni stumbles across the ring. Then she turns back, and she runs it at Alex, But Alex gets the feet up and catches Oni in the jaw. Oni turns and begins climbing up backwards to the top ropes, but before she can get settled, Oni nails her in the back, stunning her. Alex falls back as Oni turns around, holding Alex upside down, in perfect position for the Oni Driver! Oni rushes the center of the ring and connects! Oni shakes out the cobwebs and makes the cover! 1……2…….3!}
Troy Franklin: And Oni is in the finals!
Duke King: What a match between those two! It was a shame that someone had to lose, but one half of the finals are set!
Troy Franklin: Hold up!! What’s going on here?
{The fans quieted down as LAW Security came down to the ring with a pair of uniformed police officers. Security called Oni down out of the ring and to ringside where the police officers handcuffed her and started to advise her of her rights.}
Duke King: It looks like they are arresting her…what is going on?
{Beth Harris ran over, microphone in hand in an attempt to find out what was happening.}
Beth Harris: Excuse me…could you please tell us what is going on here?
{The officers waved her off as they started to escort Oni from the building. Beth chased after them, pressing for an answer. Finally, one of the officers spoke up.}
Police Officer: Ms. Shinsuzuki is under arrest for aggravated assault resulting in grievous bodily harm.
{Beth’s mouth fell open as they police and security escorted Oni out of the arena.}
Duke King: What is going on here? Who did she assault?!
Troy Franklin: I don’t know Duke, but more importantly, what does this mean for her career in LAW?!
{"Crushcrushcrush" plays and Mackenzie comes out she has a tiara on her head that says Queen Bitch and she waves to the crowd as they boo her. She doesn't slap hands or anything. She has a black sports bra and blue yoga pants on. She slides in the ring and stands in the middle of it waiting for her opponent.}
Troy Franklin: Mackenzie Roberts has been nearly unstoppable in recent weeks, and is she wins here tonight, she'll be in the finals to crown a new LAW champion!
{"Frontline" By Pillar begins over the loud speakers. and Gabby emerges from the backstage. She smiles at the crowd, and holds her arms up. She begins a light job down the aisle slapping fans five along the way. She climbs up the steps and poses for a moment before entering through the ropes. She removes her POW/MIA shirt and begins lightly stretching.}
Troy Franklin: Gabby got by Natasha Rose last week, and she realizes how important this match is.
Duke King: Gabby's been a champion before, she knows what it's all about.
{The bell rings and Mackenzie saunters up to Gabby, running her mouth. Gabby doesn't take too kindly to it as she wastes no time decking her in the jaw! Mackenzie goes down with one punch and Gabby immediately begins stomping her out. Gabby stomps on any open area she could find ending the series by stepping on Mackenzie's gut, standing on top of her. Gabby grabs the top rope for balance as she just stands on top of a prone Mackenzie. Mackenzie is kicking out her legs as she squirms in pain until Gabby drops on top of her, straddling her upper chest so she could rain down some lefts and rights to the face.}
Duke King: Gabby looks really pissed.
Troy Franklin: I heard she doesn't have much of a humorous side and doesn't take too kindly to jokes at her expense. Hence, the payment Mackenzie is receiving.
{After a minute of mounted punches, Gabby reaches back and pulls both of Mackenzie's legs up for the pin and 1... 2... MACKENZIE KICKS OUT, FLIPPING GABBY UNTO HER BACK AS THE PIN HAS SWITCHED IN MACKENZIE'S FAVOR AND 1... 2.. GABBY KICKS MACKENZIE IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD AND ESCAPES! Gabby rolls back to her feet as Mackenzie hurries to hers. Once both ladies are standing, Mackenzie charges with a clothesline but it barely makes a dent as Gabby just stands there and looks at Mackenzie with a smirk. Mackenzie is a bit taken aback but she hits the ropes and comes back with a shoulder tackle regardless but once again, Gabby is pushed back but she remains with sound footing. Mackenzie is a little more shocked but she hits the ropes a third time and comes back with a flying crossbody and gets caught in mid air before being drilled to the mat with a ferocious Powerslam!}
Troy Franklin: Mackenzie has heart but man, Gabby refused to go down.
Duke King: Mackenzie is going to have to hit a lot harder than that.
{Mackenzie is struggling as she's crawling towards the corner, Gabby stalking her as she walks beside her. Mackenzie begins pulling herself up but Gabby takes her by the legs and drags her towards the middle of the ring. Gabby turns her over and then begins locking in what appears to be a "Sharpshooter" but Mackenzie begins wriggling free before kicking up and nailing Gabby in the jaw! Gabby backpedals against the ropes, holding her jaw in pain while Mackenzie hurries to her feet and then rushes in with a high knee to the face of a cornered Camacho! Gabby is barely standing as Mackenzie kicks off the second rope, taking Gabby by the arm and head as she tries to lock a choke but Gabby refuses to be taken to the mat as she holds Mackenzie in the air by holding herself up with one arm on the top turnbuckle. Mackenzie is hanging off of Gabby, move locked in but not for long as Gabby powerfully, and with arm, brings Mackenzie up high enough so she could deck her right in the face with the free hand! Mackenzie immediately lets go after the vicious right hook and finds herself sprawled on the floor.}
Troy Franklin: That haymaker may have knocked out the Queen Bitch.
{Gabby is leaning against the ropes, trying to get the blood flowing on her arm and trying to work the kinks out of her neck. Gabby then sees that Mackenzie is not moving and dives for the cover and 1... 2... MACKENZIE PLACES A FOOT ON THE ROPES! Gabby is not happy but she goes right back on the attack as she stands up, taking Mackenzie with her. Gabby pitches her into the ropes and then catches Watts on the rebound with what appears to be a Sidewalk Slam but Mackenzie counters by rotating around Gabby's body and switching the move into a Tilt'o'Whirl Neckbreaker instead! The crowd goes wild for the lucha libre like counter as Mackenzie stays for the cover and 1... 2... GABBY GETS THE SHOULDER UP!}
Troy Franklin: One hell of a counter, using Gabby's own momentum against her.
Duke King: Definitely bought herself some much needed time.
{Mackenzie rolls to her feet and sees Gabby on all fours and quickly aims and delivers a front dropkick to the side of the head. Gabby rolls on her back and then Mackenzie stands up beside her and does a little shake before heading towards the corner. Mackenzie climbs the ropes and does not hesitate to fly with a moonsault, however, Gabby rolls out of the way in time to avoid the blow, unfortunately, Mackenzie lands on her feet and then does a second standing moonsault that splashes on top of Gabby! The crowd goes wild for the athletic display as Mackenzie hooks a leg and 1... 2... GABBY THROWS THE ARM UP!}
Troy Franklin: What's it going to take?
{Gabby quickly gets back to her feet but the second she does, Mackenzie is there with a clothesline that takes Gabby back down. Mackenzie flips Gabby over onto her stomach before grabbing her and pulling her up to her feet, she goes for a quick roundhouse kick but again Gabby ducks under it and runs under her leg. Mackenzie again spins around after the miss this time Gabby jumps into the air and hits a dropkick right into the face of Mackenzie who hits the mat. Gabby has Mackenzie down and she heads to the ropes and steps out, as Mackenzie is standing to her feet Gabby springs into the ring with the sprinboard leg lariat, but connects with Nothing as it’s Mackenzie’ turn to dodge. Gabby lands on her feet where she turns around where Mackenzie goes for the super kick but Gabby again dodges it by stepping out of the way, Mackenzie tries to recover but takes a quick right hand the head and when she turns due to the hit, Gabby grabs her and hits the bridging German suplex! 1...2.. but Mackenzie breaks out of it!}
Troy Franklin: What an exchange right there... both ladies going all out here.
Duke King: They know what this is all about!
{Gabby grabs Mackenzie after she gets back to her feet and pulls her back up. Mackenzie tries to fight her off with several quick punches but Gabby puts a fast end to that with a knee to the chest. Gabby takes Mackenzie and pulls her into the center of the ring. Gabby lifts her up onto her shoulders, looking for the KILLZONE, But Gabby is then distracted by KATE STEELE walking down the ramp. Mackenzie breaks free and falls down Gabby’s back. Mackenzie charges for a clothesline which Gabby ducks, and Gabby dumps her over the top rope, but Mackenzie lands on the apron. The two begin trading punches, with Gabby getting the better. Gabby then hooks Mackenzie, preparing to suplex her back into the ring, but Kate makes her move, and snatches the ankle of Gabby, causing her to lose her balance, and Mackenzie to fall right on top of her! Kate ducks down and keeps the leg of Gabby pinned while the ref counts! 1…….2……3!}
Troy Franklin: Oh, you gotta be kidding me!
Duke King: Mackenzie’s in the finals!
Troy Franklin: Thanks to Kate Steele!
{Kate lets go as the ref counts 3, and Gabby is none too happy about it. Mackenzie smirks as she rises, and the ref raises her hand. Gabby protests the fact that Kate interfered, and the ref reminds her he can’t call what he doesn’t see. Gabby in fact doesn’t see Kate slide into the ring and blindside her as well!}
Troy Franklin: Oh come on!
{Kate stomps Gabby down while Mackenzie looks on, she takes a step in to almost look like she’s going to break it up, but then smiles at Kate, and the two continue to stomp Gabby. Kate rolls Gabby into her stomach as Mackenzie sits on her back and applies the Queen Bitch Clutch!}
Troy Franklin: This is disgusting!
{Kate begins slapping Gabby in the face as she is stuck in the hold, taunting her. Kate mocks Gabby as Mackenzie keeps the pulling back for all she’s worth. Kate keeps the refs and security away in between more insulting slaps. Gabby soon passes out from the pain, and the crowd boos. Kate grabs the microphone.}
Kate Steele: Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner, and the next LAW Champion, MACKENZIE ROBERTS!
{Boos reign down on the dastardly duo}
Kate Steele: And once again Gabby, you came up short. At Rising Stars, while Mackenzie becomes the champion, I’m going to snuff, your bloody start out completely!
{Kate drops the mic and she and Mackenzie high five and pose over the fallen body of Gabby while the show ends.}
Troy Franklin: Hello everyone and welcome to LAW #22, Live from Chicago! I'm Troy Franklin along with Duke King, and Duke, After tonight, we will know who is going to Rising Stars to become the next LAW champion
Duke King: That's right Troy, we've narrowed from 8 to 4. Mackenzie Roberts, Gabby Camacho, Oni Kymiku, and Alex Yin are all that's left, and after tonight, we'll be down to two.
Troy Franklin: Gabby and Mackenzie will be the Main Event tonight, Oni and Alex will also go one on one. And both the Marquee champion, and number one contenders will be in action as their last tune up as well.
Duke King: That's right, Fujiko Mine will take on Natasha Rose, my personal favorite, and Nyako will have her hands full with one half of the tag team champions, Crystal Hilton!
Troy Franklin: Plus, Keira Fisher will take on Kate Steele, and speaking of Kate, we're kicking it off, with Jennifer's Junction, with Kate Steele as the guest! So let's go to our lovely interviewer, Jennifer Drew!
{“New Horizons” starts playing as the camera pans in to see Jenn Drew standing in the ring with the set up for her Jennifer’s Junction talk show. The crowd is giving her a warm reaction as she stands there with a smile on her face and the camera zooms in on her.}
Jenn: Hello ladies and gentlemen, I would like to express my apologies for not being on here last show but, I was battling a slight case of the flu. Nevertheless though, I’m here this week and I have a superb guest lined up for all of you. Please welcome my fellow countrywoman and the first ever L.A.W. Champion, Kate Steele!
{Monster by Paramore hits as Kate Steele slowly hits the ring. She is instantly booed but she blows them off as she makes her way into the ring. She raises a fist into the air which draws even more boos, but she keeps her composure as she turns her attention over to Jenn.}
Kate: Thank you so much for having me. It truly is a privilege and an honour to be here tonight. Granted I wish I was still in the World title tournament but I have another agenda.
{Jenn looks at her with a bit of a puzzled look on her face.}
Jenn: Another agenda? Do elaborate.
{Jenn offers Kate a seat on one of the chairs set up in the ring as she takes one herself. Kate smiles as she takes a seat.}
Kate: Well it’s been the thing I been talking about for months upon months, but I want that Marquee Championship. I am hell bent on getting it. Not that I am crying about Fujiko getting the title shot but let’s be honest here. A month or two ago I beat Fujiko in the middle of the ring. It was on the last Pay Per View show. I beat her, and yet she gets to face me in a number one contenders match for that title?! How is that even fair? There should have been no contenders match because she was already beaten. I shouldn’t have had to face her again. Call me a crybaby, call me whatever but Fujiko got beat. And that’s my end point.
Jenn: As much as I like to be impartial and fair on this show, I can’t help but agree with you here. I just don’t see how someone you defeated at a major event can honestly be considered for a shot at a title. You should have been next in line.
{That comment doesn’t do Jenn any favors as the crowd boos her a little bit.}
Jenn: Boo me all you want but, the truth hurts sometimes.
{Kate stands up as she places a single finger over her lips.}
Kate: ...Shhhhh silence is golden. Please show Ms. Drew some respect. She is simply out here trying to tell it like it is. There’s no reason for all of you to act as a bunch of ignorant idiots. Sorry about them Jenn. I know they normally love you. Sorry if some of this negativity had to come your way but I prefer to speak my mind to let all of them know that I was cheated. I am the rightful NUMBER ONE CONTENDER for the Marquee title! And what does a great star as myself get to show for it?! I get to face Keira tonight? Are you kidding me?! You know it, these people know it, I know it, and Lucas Dupree knows it that I am above that. I was the very first World Champion in this damn company. My name needs to be in the main event, not opening the show in some curtain jerker.
Jenn: The more you talk, the more I have to completely agree with you here. You do nothing but bring up some really good points. People could learn a lot from you.
{The crowd boos Jenn and Kate a little more as you can see Jenn starting to get slightly annoyed but soaking it all in.}
Jenn: Big bloody deal, I agree with a woman that has done nothing but speak the truth here. Can you really argue with her right now?
Kate: They won’t answer because they know that the both of us are right. I was in fact cheated and in my match at the last show. Oni was mere inches away from trying to attack me after the fact. I think Sidney Grey had it right. Oni should have been disqualified and I should be the one moving on. Speaking of Sid I miss her presence. She was truly a person who told it like it is, and stood up for what she believed in. Such a shame we don’t see much of her anymore.
Jenn: She seems like a really stand up person. So, the world wants to know now that you are out of the World Title tournament, and you were cheated out of being the number one contender for the Marquee Title, what’s next for Kate Steele?
{Kate smiles as she looks back at Jenn.}
Kate: Well I am not going to rest until I get a Marquee title match, and I won’t rest until I get it… But as for the present. You could say things are in motions… And those things I will have to keep a secret.
Jenn: Come on, you can tell me Kate. We’re friends right? Give me a Jennifer’s Junction exclusive.
{Kate smiles as she looks at all of the screaming fans.}
Kate: It’s a secret Jenn. We may be close but you will have to wait just like everyone else. However I will say you don’t have to wait too long…
{Kate grins.}
Kate: There’s no better night than tonight to show you what I am talking about.
Jenn: You better believe that I will be glued to a monitor all night then to see what this big announcement of yours is then. Knowing you, it’s going to be nothing short of epic. It’s always go big or go home for you and I know this will be no different.
Kate: Of course it will be. You are talking about Kath-Lyn Steele, and she never disappoints. But if you wanted to know who I want to fight more than ever well that answer is one I can give you straight up.
Jenn: Do tell then!
Kate: Well if for some reason...She loses against Mackenzie which she will… Because Mackenzie’s my pick to win the whole thing. I would like a final match with Gabby Camacho. One to settle our long standing feud once and for all. She beat me once. beat her once. We need to settle it, and if management so desires it could be a match worth something special.
Jenn: Now, I know that’s a match all of these people would love to see right?
{The crowd gives out a pop for Jenn as she smiles.}
Jenn: I’m also sure Gabby would have no problem facing you for a third time either because everyone knows she’s not going to make it past Mackenzie tonight.
Kate: This is why I like you Jenn… You tell it like it is.
Jenn: That’s the whole point of this show, ask the questions everyone wants to know and just tell people how it is.
Kate: Thank you for having me, even though these idiots didn’t appreciate any of it.
Jenn: It was my honor to have you here. Well, that’s all the time we have for this edition of Jennifer’s Junction. I’ll see you in two weeks for another exciting edition with another amazing guest.
{“New Horizon” begins to play again as the camera zooms out and we fade out.}
{Back from break, and Kate is still in the ring from the interview. “Sinner” by Drowning Pool hits, and Keira appears with a serious look on her face. She jogs down the aisle, slides inside the ring, spearing Kate off her feet to a huge pop!}
Troy Franklin: Listen to the crowd! There is no doubt Keira is focused night!
{Keira begins hammering Kate in the forehead with right hands. Keira stands and and screams to the crowd, drawing a loud pop. She bounces off the ropes and dropkicks the kneeling Kate right in the forehead, making a snapping noise and drawing cheers from the crowd. Keira stands and hops to the middle turnbuckle, raising her arms in the air to draw a pop from the crowd. Kate stands and sneaks behind her. She quickly hops to the middle rope beside her, grabs her, and nails her with a Side Russian Legsweep off the middle rope!}
Duke King: Haha! NEVER turn your back on your opponent!
{Kate rolls through with the momentum and covers Keira. 1…..2… kickout by Keira. Kate stands and lifts Keira to her feet. She whips her into the ropes and tosses her into the air. Keira turns it into a Hurricanrana in mid-air! Keira stands to a huge pop, then turns and drops down with a lateral press on Kate. 1……2…..kickout!}
Troy Franklin: PHENOMENAL Hurricanrana by Keira! Kate just BARELY got her shoulder up that time!
{Kate quickly rolls outside the ring for a breather. Keira shakes her head "no", then rushes toward the corner. He leaps to the top rope and immediately springs off, landing a plancha on Kate to a HUGE ovation from the crowd! Keira stands and sets up Kate parallel to the guardrails. He runs toward the left-most guardrail, leaps up, and springboards backward off of it, nailing a moonsault! Keira stands and runs her fingers through her hair, enjoying the huge crowd reaction. He slides back inside the ring and waits for Kate to stand, holding her ribs. Keira grabs the top rope, pulls back, then slingshots outside with a somersault plancha! Keira stands, lifts Kate, and slides her back inside the ring. Keira rolls inside and lifts Kate to her feet. He kicks her in the gut, then delivers a DDT! Keira hooks the near leg 1…..2…kickout.}
Troy Franklin: Boy, Keira is so quick!
{Keira picks up Kate, who counters with a rake of the face. Kate takes Keira and sends her back into a corner. He draws back before firing with a chop to the chest. She follows through with a few more chops before sending Keira across to the opposite corner. Kate runs in after her, but Keira stops herself against the turnbuckles and puts her boot up. She connects and Kate is nailed in the face. Kate stumbles backwards and Keira hops up onto the second turnbuckle. Keira flies off the middle turnbuckle and hits Kate with a Missile Dropkick. Kate goes down and Keira is quick to get down and hook the leg. 1……2.. kickout by Kate.}
Troy Franklin: Almost a three!
{Keira backs Kate into the corner and chops her, before driving some shoulders into her gut. The referee then begins his count, reaches four, and forces the break-up. Keira finally lets Kate go and gets in the face of the referee. After a few harsh words, Keira is surprised to get school boyed from behind by Kate. 1……2… Keira kicks out of it.}
Troy Franklin: Quick roll-up almost stole one for Kate!
{Both are back up. The exchange a few punches before Keira grabs Kate. She attempts whipping her but gets it turned around and Keira is sent across the ring and chest first into the turnbuckles. She stumbles backwards right into a waistlock. Kate picks up Keira and drops her right on her neck with an INCREDIBLE German Suplex!}
Duke King: High impact move right there, Troy.
{Kate walks to a corner and climbs to the middle turnbuckle. She flies off and connects with a Flying Elbow right to the heart of Keira. A pinfall to follow it up. 1…..2… Keira escapes. Kate picks up Keira, but Keira is quick with right and left handed shots to the ribs of Kate. A few more punches and Keira hooks Kate. Keira lifts Kate up in the air and holds her there. He drops Kate stomach first down onto the ropes before snapping her back in a third Suplex! Keira stands and screams out to the fans gaining a positive reaction once more. Keira backs up against the ropes before stepping in and dropping a knee across the head of Kate. Keira is quick to cover Kate. 1……2….. Kickout!}
Troy Franklin: Kate gets the right shoulder up!
Duke King: Barely a kickout by the UK Superstar...just barely!
{Keira takes Kate up to her feet and hooks her from behind in a waistlock position. He struggles to get Kate up in a Suplex, but cannot get her up. Kate then shoots her elbow back behind her and hits Keira with a quick shot to the face. Keira breaks the hold and doubles over. Kate turns around and underhooks the arms of the weakened Keira. He picks her up in the air from the underhooked position and holds her upsidedown for about 15 seconds.}
Troy Franklin: Look at the power of Kate!
{Kate then falls back down onto her ass and DRIVES Keira head first into the mat with a DOUBLE UNDERHOOKED PILEDRIVER!}
Troy Franklin: DOUBLE UNDERHOOKED PILEDRIVER! MY GOD! Keira's neck could be broken!!
{Kate stands up and lets out a long laugh as he mocks both the fans and Keira. The arena fills with boos for Kate.}
Duke King: Why doesn't she cover her?!
{Kate then screams out "It's over!" He drops down to her knees and then covers Keira. 1…..2…..3NO! }
Troy Franklin: KEIRA KICKED OUT! KEIRA BY GOD JUST KICKED OUT!
{Kate can’t believe it as she covers again. 1……2….Keira rolls the shoulder! Kate, bewildered, stands and looks down at Keira who’s stirring. Kate grabs Keira by the hair and pulls her up, before lifting her onto her shoulders, readying for the Punk driver, but Keira springs to life, and wriggles down the back of Kate, turning into a sunset flip! 1…..2…..3NO! Kate rolls out!}
Troy Franklin: Kate BARELY escapes!
{Keira questions the count, and Kate is quick to mow her down with a clothesline before she can react. Kate again grabs Keira who’s stunned, and lifts her again, this time completing the Punk Driver! Kate covers, hooking both legs! 1……2…..3!}
Troy Franklin: And Kate Steele escapes this match with a win. Keira gave her a run for her money no doubt.
Duke King: If Keira keeps this up, she’ll be a title contender in no time! Someone lit a fire under her, and I like it!
{Kate rolls off of Keira exhausted, and obviously a little shocked at what took place. Keira is already stirring and getting to her knees, and Kate rolls out under the ropes and looks back, obviously with a newfound respect for Keira.}
{"Going Under" hits and Natasha Rose strolls out, and then arrogantly sneers at the fans, before heading down the ring.}
Duke King: That's my girl, Natasha Rose is so talented.
Troy Franklin: She is a tough challenge for anyone!
{The low rumbling synth beats rumble through the arena, and warps into a funky beat that tells the crowd who is on their way. The crowd begins to cheer for Lady Luck. Fujiko leaps through the curtain, jumping into the air and whipping her head forward. Her hair follows a moment later, and when she lands she has a large grin on her face. The crowd that is on her side sings along to the 'whoas' in the song, which really gets her hyped up. She begins bobbing her head to the music for a moment before slapping hands with the fans. Once she reaches ringside, she then slides into the ring, a determined look on her face. She climbs onto the center rope and poses for the crowd, then front flips into the ring, ready to start the match.}
Troy Franklin: And here we go.
{Fujiko and Natasha lock up. Fujiko overpowers into a side headlock. She backs Natasha against the ropes. Natasha then shoves Fujiko away. Fujiko goes off the opposite ropes. She comes back and Natasha drops down; Fujiko hops over Natasha and goes off the ropes again. Natasha gets back up, and Fujiko leapfrogs over her. Fujiko goes off the ropes, comes back, and Natasha hooks the arm. She tries for the Hip toss. She cannot do it. Fujiko spins over, now trying to lift Natasha for the Hip toss. Natasha twists it around one last time. She tries lifting for the Hip toss. She can't. She kicks Fujiko in the gut. Fujiko bends forward. Natasha puts her leg behind Fujiko's head and flips herself over on her feet and out of the hooked Hip toss position. Just as she lands on her feet, though, she is Clotheslined right down by Fujiko gaining a decent crowd pop. Fujiko lifts Natasha back up to her feet and shoots her off the ropes. She hits her coming back with a Back Body Drop that sends Natasha way up into the air. Natasha hits the mat, yelps in pain. Natasha falls back into one of the corners. Fujiko backs up. She charges in and jumps. She looks for the big splash in the corner, but Natasha dodges at the last moment. Fujiko hits the top turnbuckle face first. She begins stumbling out of the corner and falls down onto her face.}
Troy Franklin: Fujiko was looking for that splash in the corner. The rookie, Natasha, however was able to dodge at the last moment.

Troy Franklin: My God! Fujiko just turned into a human missile and was shot right at Natasha Rose outside the ring!
{Fujiko is back up. She grabs Natasha and rolls her under the ropes back into the ring. Fujiko hops back onto the apron.

She goes over to pick Natasha up, but Natasha grabs Fujiko and out of nowhere rolls her into a cradle! 1…..2…. barely a kickout by Fujiko!}
Troy Franklin: Natasha almost stole one!
{Both women are back up. Natasha is first to take over with a forearm to the face of Fujiko. She then grabs her and whips Fujiko across to the corner.

Troy Franklin: Kickout by Natasha! How did she get out of that one?

Troy Franklin: Fujiko survives!
{Natasha kicks out a second too late, as Fujiko rolls to the outside to collect herself. Natasha slowly sits up and breaths heavy as she questions the count. Fujiko smiles on the outside as she holds the back of her neck.}
Troy Franklin: Natasha was a second too late, but she has nothing to be ashamed off.
Duke King: Natasha almost got her. She’ll be back!
{Fujiko heads up the ramp as Natasha kicks the rope in frustration.}
{All of a sudden "Superstar" by Lupe fiasco starts playing all over the Pa system. Two lights are pointed at the entrance way. Crystal Emerges through the curtains and is greeted by multiple pyros that start shooting off one by one. The crowd roars at her with a loud ovation of boos and she slowly makes her way out walking down the aisle. Crystal cracks a grin as her photographers line up to take a picture of her. She finally makes it to the ring and places one foot on the apron and stretches the other one on the apron as well. She does a split to enter the ring and she finally makes it to her feet. She smiles bouncing around a bit as she awaits her opponent to come out..}
Troy Franklin: Crystal Hilton back in action tonight!
Duke King: Always like seeing Crystal around here!
{“You’re Going Down” starts playing and Nyako emerges from the back to a mixture of boos and cheers. She starts down the ramp way scanning the crowd before turning her attention the the empty ring or her opponent inside and walks slowly down to the end on the ramp.
At the end of the ramp she gets a running start and hops up on the apron before climbing through the middle ropes quickly to the inside of the ring. After entering the ring she walks over to a corner and raises her arms in the air with her index fingers pointed at the sky as a few pyrotechnics explode In the ring behind her and the crowd reacts.
She hops down from corner and turns her full attention to her opponent.}
Troy Franklin: Nyako is a little preoccupied with the controversy surrounding her sister Oni, but she none the less, looks ready to go.
{The two stand there for a moment, sizing the other woman up. Nyako goes for a quick right hand, but Crystal ducks it! Crystal throws a right to the face. Then another right. Then another right! She grabs the arm of Nyako and fires him into the ropes. On the way back, Nyako tries hitting a Clothesline, but again Crystal ducks under the attack. And when Nyako is coming back off the ropes a second time, Crystal jumps up and hits a Flying Clothesline of her own that takes Nyako off her feet! As soon as Nyako hits the ground, she rolls over to the ropes then under them and out to the floor. He paces back and forth, pushing her hair back out of his eyes and catching his breath. Inside the ring Crystal is calling out to her, ready to get it on. Nyako nods and slowly re-enters the ring.}
Troy Franklin: Nyako took a quick timeout right there.
Duke King: The match got fast paced, exactly what Crystal likes, so Nyako wisely slowed the momentum down.
{She goes back to Crystal, and the two enter a collar and elbow tie up. They jockey for position, and the bigger Nyako is able to gain the first advantage with a Side Headlock. Crystal adjusts her footing before shoving Nyako forward into the ropes. But coming back, Nyako is easily able to knock Crystal off her feet with a running Shoulderblock. As soon as she hits her, Nyako's backing up into the ropes one more time, but Crystal kips up to her feet. She ducks under the Lariat from Nyako and the Marquee Champion goes into the ropes yet again. In the center of the ring, Crystal ducks down perhaps for the Back Body Drop attempt. Nyako manages to stop short and she kicks Crystal straight in the face, sending her up to a full standing up position thing. Nyako then finally nails the Clothesline, taking Crystal down and out. Nyako bounces back into the ropes for some momentum, then comes in and drops the big leg across the throat of Crystal. Nyako goes for the cover. 1……2…. and a kickout by Crystal.}
Troy Franklin: And now, Nyako has control.
{Nyako lifts Crystal up to her feet, but as she's getting up Crystal is able to fire off a few shots to the midsection to weaken the champion. When she's good and ... weakened ... Nyako is sent into the ropes by Crystal and on the way back he gets picked up and planted with a big Spinebuster! Crystal rolls through into the cover. 1……2…. and Nyako kicks out. When Crystal is up, she begins stomping away at Nyako, as she's trying to get back up. And when she is indeed up, Crystal pulls him into a hooked position. He lifts Nyako up, stalls it a bit, and then brings her down with a snap suplex! Crystal floats over into the cover. 1.….2…. and Nyako again manages to power out of the cover. Crystal brings Nyako up to her feet and again hooks her for the Suplex. However, Nyako throws a couple of rights out there and connects with the ribs of Crystal. Crystal lets go, and Nyako hits a wicked right hand to the face of Crystal that sends the tag champion across the ring and into a corner.}
Troy Franklin: What a shot. Crystal got ROCKED by that shot.
{Nyako comes in after her and drives her back elbow into the face, crushing Crystal in the corner. Crystal is nearly taken off her feet, but uses the ropes and turnbuckles to get back up completely. Again Nyako hits the back elbow, and again Crystal is nearly down. Then Nyako gets all mean and sneaky by putting his right boot across the throat of Crystal, pushing her back against the top turnbuckle and choking the hell out of her. The ref makes his count and Nyako breaks after the count is long over with and the ref has had to pull him away. Nyako's all up in the ref's face for putting his hands on her, and he's pissed and stuff. This gives Crystal some much needed time to get back into it, and when Nyako turns around he gets a boot to the midsection and then a Snap DDT!}
Troy Franklin: Crystal is taking it to the champion!
Duke King: Nyako clearly looks like her head is not in the game tonight.
{Crystal gets up and crouches. Nyako's slowly back up ... and when he is, Crystal steps in and throws his arm over his head, hooking t-bone suplex position ... but Nyako throws his elbow to the side and connects with the Crystal' head! Crystal stumbles across the ring before turning back around and walking right into a kick right to the head! Crystal goes down and Nyako makes the cover! 1…..2…3NO! Crystal barely escapes!}
Troy Franklin: And Crystal barely escapes.
{Nyako looks at Crystal on the mat a little frustrated. Nyako then gets up and pulls Crystal up, into powerbomb position. Nyako goes to lift Crystal, but Crystal counters and double legs Nyako, looking for the Withering Rose!}
Troy Franklin: Withering Rose! Out of nowhere!
Duke King: What a counter!
{Nyako fights and squirms, trying not to let Crystal complete the move. Crystal tries turning the larger Nyako, but the resistance is heavy. Nyako stiffens to not let herself be taken over, but Crystal turns the other way, and is able to get Nyako to turn! Crystal sits down, but Nyako is right near the ropes, and grabs them for the break!}
Troy Franklin: Nyako just saved herself there.
{Crystal breaks and then drags Nyako away from the ropes, and tries again for the Withering Rose! Nyako is able to kick her away into the ropes, but when Crystal comes back, she again grabs the legs of Nyako, but instead of going for the Withering Rose, Crystal completes a jackknife pin out of nowhere! 1……2…….3!}
Troy Franklin: CRYSTAL WINS! CRYSTAL JUST UPSET NYAKO!
Duke King: Nyako good lured into a trap almost by Crystal! She was prepping to block that Withering Rose, and bam, out of the nowhere, Crystal caught her napping!
{Crystal rises as Nyako is dejected and stunned by the turn of events. She shakes her head in disbelief as Crystal gets her hand raised. Nyako looks up at Crystal celebrating, and then quickly, Nyako takes her title, throws it over her shoulder, and walks away, obviously preoccupied with other things.}
{“Finale” by Madeon begins to play over the sound system, and the crowd begins to cheer as Fujiko Mine pushes aside the curtain, dressed in street attire. She has in her hand a LAW branded microphone. She comes halfway down to the ring before stopping, and waiting for her music to fade. As it does, she looks out at the crowd with a smile.}
Fujiko Mine: Chicago, it’s great to be here!
{The crowd bites, cheering loudly.}
Fujiko Mine: It’s going to be great getting to face Natasha Rose in front of you all. But she isn’t the reason I’m out here speaking my mind.
{The crow dies down to a murmur as she takes a moment.}
Fujiko Mine: I’m here to talk about Nyako. When I beat Kate Steele a few weeks ago…
{Some of the crowd boos at this. Fujiko merely shrugs.}
Fujiko Mine: I earned the right to face the Marquee champion at Rising Stars. I earned it. Let anyone who thinks I didn’t...
{She cocks her head}
Fujiko Mine: Including Kate Steele, moan and cry about it if they want. But I get the chance to fulfill my goals. If I beat Nyako by pinfall or submission, I will be your new Marquee champion. But it means so much more than that. I means that I will stand in front of you...with my first ever singles championship.
{The crowd begins to pick up again.}
Fujiko Mine: Winning this match, and the championship means more to me than any of you could really know. So I am going to do everything I can to leave Rising Stars as your NEW Marquee champion! I’d bet your luck on it.
{The crowd cheers, minus those who are fans of Nyako, and Fujiko smirks. “Finale” plays again, and Fujiko turns on a heel before heading backstage again.}
{“The End is the Beginning is the End” by Smashing Pumpkins plays as Uzai Kazama walks through the entranceway waving the flag of the United Sisters of Asia (USA). The fans boo as they chant U.S.A. in support of the United States of America, but Uzai echoes the chant to antagonize the crowd. Oni walks out and pauses briefly to assess the crowd, before heading slowly to the ring, as Uzai walks ahead, continuing to wave the USA flag. They ignore the booing fans as they make their way down the ramp towards the ring. She pauses at ringside and allows Uzai to hold the ropes open for her to enter the ring and face her competition.}
Troy Franklin: Oni defeated Kate Steele last week to advance, even though there was some controversy at the end of that match...
Duke King: Controversy? No, Oni tried to permanently injure Kate, and she should be disqualified for it!
Troy Franklin: That's the opinion of some, but she's here, and she's got a tough test ahead.
{Wooden Ships starts as Alex leaps out and throws a fist in the air. She then backs up and does a somersault on the spot, with green fireworks shooting out as she lands. She then saunters down to the ring, giving high-fives, posing with fans for photographs, playing air guitar, doing a robot dance etc.. Alex then hops up onto the ring apron, runs across and climbs a turnbuckle before backflipping into the ring.}
Troy Franklin: This should be an awesome match!
{Both men just do the stare-down at first, and there's no action and stuff. But then Alex hits a quick right hand to the face, then another, then another ... and Oni shows no reaction! Alex grabs Oni by the arm and shoots her into the ropes. Out goes Alex's arm on the Clothesline attempt, but Oni ducks under it. One more time into the ropes, and now Oni comes in with a wicked Big Boot to the face! Alex's down and holding her jaw. As Alex's working his way up, Oni's hitting some massive shots to the upper back/shoulder area. Then she's got Alex up, and she sends her into the ropes. Oni goes for the Big Boot one more time, but Alex scouts it out and drops to the mat, sliding underneath Oni. She pops up to his feet behind Oni, and traps him in a waistlock. During the effort to break free, Alex pushes Oni forward right into the ropes. Alex tries pulling Oni back with the Rolling Prawn Cradle, but Oni holds onto the ropes and just pushes Alex back. Alex's sent back on the mat, and she rolls over her head in a reverse somersault on the canvas before coming up to his feet. Oni turns herself around and immediately nails a Lariat that flips Alex over in mid-air, and it looks bad. Evil even. Oni gets down beside him and goes for the lateral press. 1……2… Alex kicks out. Oni's up and drops an elbow right to the heart of the Alex. Then she's up again, and she drops yet another elbow. Alex rolls across the canvas, clutching her chest. She's over to the corner, and she's pulling herself up on the turnbuckles. Oni comes over towards her; Alex with his back to her. Oni's about to grab her, but Alex throws a back elbow that nails Oni in the face. Alex turns himself around, then throws a right hand and Oni's staggering. She grabs Oni and she throws her into the corner, back-first. Then Alex is in with some more fists and some more fists and some more fists.}
Troy Franklin: Alex is not backing down!
Duke King: She can't afford to, it's for all the marbles!
{Aelx grabs the arm, and he launches Oni across the ring to the opposite corner. Oni hits the buckles with his back, and Alex's coming in after her. Up in the air goes Alex, then down comes Alex, with a splash in the corner! Alex grabs the top rope beside her and hops over, landing on the apron. With the impact from the Stinger Splash still making her hurting and stuff, Oni stumbles forward out of the corner. Vass grabs the top rope and he pulls back, working up momentum and some stuff like that. Then she sends herself forward, jumping up onto the top rope, and then comes at Oni with a Springboard Cross Body ... but Oni catches her! Oni takes a few steps back, then throws Alex OVER her head and OVER the ropes to the outside with a Fallaway Slam!}
Troy Franklin: Oni just LAUNCHED Alex Yin to the floor!
Duke King: Oni has that bad temper!
{On the floor, Alex's laying on her stomach and looking hurt as hell. Oni goes through the ropes and drops down to the floor. She grabs Alex, pulling her up to his feet. Then she's got him up, clasping his hands around the midsection of the “Adorkable one” . Then she charges forward with him, ramming Alex's spine into the steel ring post! Alex falls, lands on the floor and looking bad. Oni grabs her with one hand on the head, and she takes her up to her feet, before rolling her under the ropes to the inside. Oni slides in after, then goes for the cover. 1……2…. kickout by Alex. Oni doesn't show much sign of frustration, and she brings Alex up to her feet. She takes the head between the legs, PowerDriver position. The fans start making some noise, because whether they like it or not, the something big looks like it's on the way. Oni locks his hands around the midsection and then brings Alex up in the air onto his shoulders ... and Vass snaps back with a Hurricanrana into a pin! 1……2….3NO! - kickout! Both women are quickly to their feet, and Oni, who's obviously embarrassed, goes for a quick Clothesline that Alex ducks under it. Then it's right hand, right hand, right hand to the face of Oni. Into the ropes Oni goes, and is nailed with dropsault!}
Troy Franklin: Alex is on fire here!
{The crowd's going crazy with the pops of damnation, and Alex goes through the ropes onto the apron. She waits for Oni to start getting up to his feet, and Alex's pulling back on the ropes for some momentum. Oni's up, and she turns around to take a look at Alex on the apron. Then Alex's up, leaping onto the top rope and then across the ring with a Springboard Hurricanrana ... that Oni catches and counters with a Powerbomb! The crowd goes insanely insane, and Oni makes the cover with a hook of the inside leg. 1……2…..3NO! Alex Kicks out!!}
Troy Franklin: How in the word did Alex kick out of that!?
{Oni can't believe it, and she's got Alex up to his feet. She brings him between his legs one more time, PowerDriver style. He lifts him up onto his shoulders one more time, in hopes of a second powerbomb, but Alex flips over the head and takes Oni down with a Victory Roll! 1……2….3NO! kickout! They're back up again and Oni goes for a swinging right hand, but Alex ducks under the attack. When Oni's in mid-turn, with his back to Alex, Alex jumps up ONTO the back of Oni and has her with a Sleeper Hold! The fans pop for it, but it doesn't last long, as Oni goes backward with all his might and rams Alex into the turnbuckles! The grip's broken, and Oni stumbles across the ring. Then she turns back, and she runs it at Alex, But Alex gets the feet up and catches Oni in the jaw. Oni turns and begins climbing up backwards to the top ropes, but before she can get settled, Oni nails her in the back, stunning her. Alex falls back as Oni turns around, holding Alex upside down, in perfect position for the Oni Driver! Oni rushes the center of the ring and connects! Oni shakes out the cobwebs and makes the cover! 1……2…….3!}
Troy Franklin: And Oni is in the finals!
Duke King: What a match between those two! It was a shame that someone had to lose, but one half of the finals are set!
Troy Franklin: Hold up!! What’s going on here?
{The fans quieted down as LAW Security came down to the ring with a pair of uniformed police officers. Security called Oni down out of the ring and to ringside where the police officers handcuffed her and started to advise her of her rights.}
Duke King: It looks like they are arresting her…what is going on?
{Beth Harris ran over, microphone in hand in an attempt to find out what was happening.}
Beth Harris: Excuse me…could you please tell us what is going on here?
{The officers waved her off as they started to escort Oni from the building. Beth chased after them, pressing for an answer. Finally, one of the officers spoke up.}
Police Officer: Ms. Shinsuzuki is under arrest for aggravated assault resulting in grievous bodily harm.
{Beth’s mouth fell open as they police and security escorted Oni out of the arena.}
Duke King: What is going on here? Who did she assault?!
Troy Franklin: I don’t know Duke, but more importantly, what does this mean for her career in LAW?!
{"Crushcrushcrush" plays and Mackenzie comes out she has a tiara on her head that says Queen Bitch and she waves to the crowd as they boo her. She doesn't slap hands or anything. She has a black sports bra and blue yoga pants on. She slides in the ring and stands in the middle of it waiting for her opponent.}
Troy Franklin: Mackenzie Roberts has been nearly unstoppable in recent weeks, and is she wins here tonight, she'll be in the finals to crown a new LAW champion!
{"Frontline" By Pillar begins over the loud speakers. and Gabby emerges from the backstage. She smiles at the crowd, and holds her arms up. She begins a light job down the aisle slapping fans five along the way. She climbs up the steps and poses for a moment before entering through the ropes. She removes her POW/MIA shirt and begins lightly stretching.}
Troy Franklin: Gabby got by Natasha Rose last week, and she realizes how important this match is.
Duke King: Gabby's been a champion before, she knows what it's all about.
{The bell rings and Mackenzie saunters up to Gabby, running her mouth. Gabby doesn't take too kindly to it as she wastes no time decking her in the jaw! Mackenzie goes down with one punch and Gabby immediately begins stomping her out. Gabby stomps on any open area she could find ending the series by stepping on Mackenzie's gut, standing on top of her. Gabby grabs the top rope for balance as she just stands on top of a prone Mackenzie. Mackenzie is kicking out her legs as she squirms in pain until Gabby drops on top of her, straddling her upper chest so she could rain down some lefts and rights to the face.}
Duke King: Gabby looks really pissed.
Troy Franklin: I heard she doesn't have much of a humorous side and doesn't take too kindly to jokes at her expense. Hence, the payment Mackenzie is receiving.
{After a minute of mounted punches, Gabby reaches back and pulls both of Mackenzie's legs up for the pin and 1... 2... MACKENZIE KICKS OUT, FLIPPING GABBY UNTO HER BACK AS THE PIN HAS SWITCHED IN MACKENZIE'S FAVOR AND 1... 2.. GABBY KICKS MACKENZIE IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD AND ESCAPES! Gabby rolls back to her feet as Mackenzie hurries to hers. Once both ladies are standing, Mackenzie charges with a clothesline but it barely makes a dent as Gabby just stands there and looks at Mackenzie with a smirk. Mackenzie is a bit taken aback but she hits the ropes and comes back with a shoulder tackle regardless but once again, Gabby is pushed back but she remains with sound footing. Mackenzie is a little more shocked but she hits the ropes a third time and comes back with a flying crossbody and gets caught in mid air before being drilled to the mat with a ferocious Powerslam!}
Troy Franklin: Mackenzie has heart but man, Gabby refused to go down.
Duke King: Mackenzie is going to have to hit a lot harder than that.
{Mackenzie is struggling as she's crawling towards the corner, Gabby stalking her as she walks beside her. Mackenzie begins pulling herself up but Gabby takes her by the legs and drags her towards the middle of the ring. Gabby turns her over and then begins locking in what appears to be a "Sharpshooter" but Mackenzie begins wriggling free before kicking up and nailing Gabby in the jaw! Gabby backpedals against the ropes, holding her jaw in pain while Mackenzie hurries to her feet and then rushes in with a high knee to the face of a cornered Camacho! Gabby is barely standing as Mackenzie kicks off the second rope, taking Gabby by the arm and head as she tries to lock a choke but Gabby refuses to be taken to the mat as she holds Mackenzie in the air by holding herself up with one arm on the top turnbuckle. Mackenzie is hanging off of Gabby, move locked in but not for long as Gabby powerfully, and with arm, brings Mackenzie up high enough so she could deck her right in the face with the free hand! Mackenzie immediately lets go after the vicious right hook and finds herself sprawled on the floor.}
Troy Franklin: That haymaker may have knocked out the Queen Bitch.
{Gabby is leaning against the ropes, trying to get the blood flowing on her arm and trying to work the kinks out of her neck. Gabby then sees that Mackenzie is not moving and dives for the cover and 1... 2... MACKENZIE PLACES A FOOT ON THE ROPES! Gabby is not happy but she goes right back on the attack as she stands up, taking Mackenzie with her. Gabby pitches her into the ropes and then catches Watts on the rebound with what appears to be a Sidewalk Slam but Mackenzie counters by rotating around Gabby's body and switching the move into a Tilt'o'Whirl Neckbreaker instead! The crowd goes wild for the lucha libre like counter as Mackenzie stays for the cover and 1... 2... GABBY GETS THE SHOULDER UP!}
Troy Franklin: One hell of a counter, using Gabby's own momentum against her.
Duke King: Definitely bought herself some much needed time.
{Mackenzie rolls to her feet and sees Gabby on all fours and quickly aims and delivers a front dropkick to the side of the head. Gabby rolls on her back and then Mackenzie stands up beside her and does a little shake before heading towards the corner. Mackenzie climbs the ropes and does not hesitate to fly with a moonsault, however, Gabby rolls out of the way in time to avoid the blow, unfortunately, Mackenzie lands on her feet and then does a second standing moonsault that splashes on top of Gabby! The crowd goes wild for the athletic display as Mackenzie hooks a leg and 1... 2... GABBY THROWS THE ARM UP!}
Troy Franklin: What's it going to take?
{Gabby quickly gets back to her feet but the second she does, Mackenzie is there with a clothesline that takes Gabby back down. Mackenzie flips Gabby over onto her stomach before grabbing her and pulling her up to her feet, she goes for a quick roundhouse kick but again Gabby ducks under it and runs under her leg. Mackenzie again spins around after the miss this time Gabby jumps into the air and hits a dropkick right into the face of Mackenzie who hits the mat. Gabby has Mackenzie down and she heads to the ropes and steps out, as Mackenzie is standing to her feet Gabby springs into the ring with the sprinboard leg lariat, but connects with Nothing as it’s Mackenzie’ turn to dodge. Gabby lands on her feet where she turns around where Mackenzie goes for the super kick but Gabby again dodges it by stepping out of the way, Mackenzie tries to recover but takes a quick right hand the head and when she turns due to the hit, Gabby grabs her and hits the bridging German suplex! 1...2.. but Mackenzie breaks out of it!}
Troy Franklin: What an exchange right there... both ladies going all out here.
Duke King: They know what this is all about!
{Gabby grabs Mackenzie after she gets back to her feet and pulls her back up. Mackenzie tries to fight her off with several quick punches but Gabby puts a fast end to that with a knee to the chest. Gabby takes Mackenzie and pulls her into the center of the ring. Gabby lifts her up onto her shoulders, looking for the KILLZONE, But Gabby is then distracted by KATE STEELE walking down the ramp. Mackenzie breaks free and falls down Gabby’s back. Mackenzie charges for a clothesline which Gabby ducks, and Gabby dumps her over the top rope, but Mackenzie lands on the apron. The two begin trading punches, with Gabby getting the better. Gabby then hooks Mackenzie, preparing to suplex her back into the ring, but Kate makes her move, and snatches the ankle of Gabby, causing her to lose her balance, and Mackenzie to fall right on top of her! Kate ducks down and keeps the leg of Gabby pinned while the ref counts! 1…….2……3!}
Troy Franklin: Oh, you gotta be kidding me!
Duke King: Mackenzie’s in the finals!
Troy Franklin: Thanks to Kate Steele!
{Kate lets go as the ref counts 3, and Gabby is none too happy about it. Mackenzie smirks as she rises, and the ref raises her hand. Gabby protests the fact that Kate interfered, and the ref reminds her he can’t call what he doesn’t see. Gabby in fact doesn’t see Kate slide into the ring and blindside her as well!}
Troy Franklin: Oh come on!
{Kate stomps Gabby down while Mackenzie looks on, she takes a step in to almost look like she’s going to break it up, but then smiles at Kate, and the two continue to stomp Gabby. Kate rolls Gabby into her stomach as Mackenzie sits on her back and applies the Queen Bitch Clutch!}
Troy Franklin: This is disgusting!
{Kate begins slapping Gabby in the face as she is stuck in the hold, taunting her. Kate mocks Gabby as Mackenzie keeps the pulling back for all she’s worth. Kate keeps the refs and security away in between more insulting slaps. Gabby soon passes out from the pain, and the crowd boos. Kate grabs the microphone.}
Kate Steele: Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner, and the next LAW Champion, MACKENZIE ROBERTS!
{Boos reign down on the dastardly duo}
Kate Steele: And once again Gabby, you came up short. At Rising Stars, while Mackenzie becomes the champion, I’m going to snuff, your bloody start out completely!
{Kate drops the mic and she and Mackenzie high five and pose over the fallen body of Gabby while the show ends.}
