{A blank screen, until the LAW logo flashes on the screen. "Queen" by 3 Pill Morning begins as the opening video for LAW begins to play showing all the incredible action and highlights of LAW’s existence. When the video finishes an explosions erupts and sends the LAW fans into a frenzy as the camera switches to the wide view of the arena and begins to pan this excited trio.}
Troy Franklin: HELLO EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO LAW QUEEN OF THE RING! I'm Troy Franklin along sidemy broadcast partners Duke King and of course Skye Sparks. We're live in Las Vegas, the MGM grand and tonight we have 14 huge matches!
Duke King: That's right Troy. Championship matches featuring the Marquee champion Amirai Reilley vs. Crystal Millar, the Boardwalk Brawl between the Boardwalk Angels and The Dynasty, and LAW Champion Amy Jo Smyth defending against Mackenzie Roberts.
Skye Sparks: But let's just understand that while those matches are important, the 8 women entered in Queen of the Ring will be gearing up, the winner will have win 3 matches all tonight, it could be any combination, because this, is truly, a pick'em event.
Duke King: And who could forget, footage of the ceremony between Sarah Lacklan, and Kenzi Grey, it's going to be magical.
Skye Sparks: It's a wedding. Not a bloody play.
Troy Franklin: In addition we've got plenty of in-ring debuts, Roxy Cotton will take on Minako Ai, a fatal fourway between Two of the #Coolkids Millisandre Crowthrone, Ashley Williams, and also Maria Salvatore and Laura Amber Williams
Duke King: And Sam Tolson returns to the ring after a few weeks away, she's facing Angelica Vaughn.
Skye Sparks: It's going to be a bloody good time.
{Kenzi Grey and her new wife, Sarah Selena Lacklan enter the arena with their other Cool Kids brethren, Milisandre Crowthorne, Angie Vaughn, and the infamous Roxy Cotton. The Fab Five have a good round of chuckles over a story about someone eating blueberries at the reception. The five stop as Ashley Marie Chase, friend to Kenzi and one time General Manager of LAW walks over. The five greet her as she congratulates Kenzi and Sarah on their big day on Saturday. She give Mili a lingering look, greeting her separately.}
AMC: Hey Mili.
{She manages to tear her attention away from the dark haired girl as she focuses on Kenzi and Sarah.}
AMC: Congratulations again guys…and Kenzi, thank you for making me the Maid of Honor! That really meant a lot to me!
{Kenzi gave her a hug, as she responded.}
Kenzi Grey: My pleasure…but, there were three other Maids of Honor you know.
{She gave a dismissive wave.}
AMC: I know you did that so you didn’t hurt their feelings. Don’t worry, I won’t tell! Just remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!
Kenzi Grey: Don’t remind me! I’m still hung over from being here last year with you!
{Sarah arches a perfectly sculpted brow as her red eyes gleam.}
Sarah Selena Lacklan: Is that so Beloved? I’d love to hear the story!
Kenzi Grey: If I could remember it, I’d gladly tell you. I don’t think we had ever been that drunk before, have we?
{Sarah eyes AMC with suspicion and jealousy, as the buxom brunette turns her attention elsewhere, and sees Sidney Grey walking towards them and having a heated conversation with LAW Interviewer Colin Reed. She holds up a paper, and angrily points to it. The two stop and Sid looks at AMC with a knowing grin and a wink that makes the former GM nervous. Colin turns and walks off quickly as Sid follows after him. Sarah leans in with a sarcastic snicker.}
Sarah Selena Lacklan: Looks like Mother Grey is hitting on your old pretend boyfriend.
{The entire group laughs, with the exception of AMC as she quickly excuses herself.}
AMC: Well…good luck tonight guys. I’ll see you a bit later, okay?
{AMC disappears and Sarah leans in close to whisper in Kenzi’s ear.}
Sarah Selena Lacklan: You can tell me if you and her…where together…you know. I would prefer that you tell me rather than to find out some other way,
Kenzi Grey: She’s my friend…end of story. We went out, we got drunk, and it was nothing. I promise you, okay?
{Kenzi kissed Sarah, then narrowed her eyes at her new wife.}
Kenzi Grey: Don’t make me kick your ass before I kick your ass in the finals…yeah?
{Kenzi walks off with a laugh as the other Cool Kids respond in unison with a “Oooooooooooh” much to the irritation of Sarah, who rolls her eyes and follows after Kenzi.}
{Purple lighting fills the arena as "Paparazzi" by Lady Gaga plays. From behind the curtain, Roxy Cotton emerges with a spin and a flourish and a smile spreading across her face.}
Beth Harris: The following contest is scheduled for one fall... on her way to the ring, from Los Angeles, California... representing the Cool Kids... The Bubblegum Bombshell... ROXY COTTON!!
{The sequins sewn into her purple velvet ring gear sparkle as camera flashes blink throughout the audience and Roxy makes her way to the ring, avoiding any physical contact with the fans who try to reach out and touch her. Roxy steps into the ring and stares up the ramp as she awaits the opponent.}
Troy Franklin: Roxy Cotton about to make her LAW Debut here, I'm looking forward to it.
Skye Sparks: Well duh.
{“Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” starts to play as Minako walks out. She spins around and flips her hair. Minako takes out a pokeball from her breast pocket and throws it into the air. White and red pyro shoots out and she starts to skip down the ramp.}
Beth Harris: Her opponent... from Sapporo, Japan... The Cosplay Princess... MINAKO AI!!
{When she gets to the stairs, she bows and slowly climbs up them. She grabs the ropes and sits on them, balancing herself before she flips into the ring. The music fades out as Mina looks over to Roxy and the ref calls for the bell. The two circle a moment before locking up. Roxy with the size advantage gets the leverage hitting a quick hairmare. Mina springs up and charges at Roxy, only for Roxy to hit a quick hip toss. Roxy taunts and mocks the fallen Minako before picking her up and hitting a quick snap suplex that she floats over into a cover, only for a two count before Mina kicks out.}
Troy Franklin: Early pin attempt there.
Duke King: But to no avail.
{Roxy locks in a sleeper, looking to put Mina out early, but Mina elbows her in the gut then hits a hip toss of her own. As Roxy gets up Mina quickly hits a German Suplex, bridging it into a cover, but Roxy quickly kicks out. The two get up trading shots, until Roxy blocks one and hits a swinging neckbreaker. She covers but Mina again kicks out.}
Troy Franklin: Another near fall early in this match.
Skye Sparks: Roxy is looking good, no surprise.
{Roxy lifts Minako up and sends her into the corner, which she chases after and hits a Handspring elbow into the corner as Mina reached it. Roxy slaps Mina a couple times across the chest, getting some "woo"s from the crowd before she lifts her up onto the turnbuckle. Roxy punches her a couple times before climbing up herself and setting up, before delivering a superplex.}
Troy Franklin: High impact move there!
Skye Sparks: Goodnight, Mina.
{Roxy crawls over and covers Mina as the ref makes the count for the one... two...Mina rolls the shoulder getting a pop from the fans. Roxy shakes her head in disbelief. Roxy goes to pick Mina up, but Mina counters with a small package, getting a near fall before Roxy kicks out. Roxy is a little frustrated that Mina almost snuck that by her. Roxy rushes at Mina, but Mina hits a quick powerslam, getting a roar from the fans. Mina makes the cover, but Roxy kicks out.}
Troy Franklin: Minako is still in this.
Skye Sparks: For now.
Duke King: A couple close falls there, though.
{Minako catches her breath for a moment, holding the back of her neck still feeling the effects from the superplex. As she shakes that off she runs and bounces off the ropes for a spear as Roxy got up, but she stopped in her tracks as two women appeared at the ramp, staring at her. Mina turned back but Roxy counterted with a spinning heel kick. Roxy taunts Mina to get back up, only to quickly grab her by the hair and hit the Muff Diver(Hairpull Facebuster). Roxy doesn't cover, but instead locks in the DTF(STF).}
Skye Sparks: This is it, Minako is done for now.
Duke King: She is trapped in the center of the ring, too.
{Minako tries to fight through it, but as eluded to, they are in the center of the ring. Eventually she has no choice but to tap out.}
Beth Harris: The Winner of this match... ROXY COTTON!!
{Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" hits over the PA System as Roxy let's go of the hold and the ref raises Roxy's hand. She pulls her hand away and climbs the turnbuckle to taunt the fans. The two women celebrate with her, before Roxy takes the microphone.}
Roxy Cotton: In case you don't know, these two babes are the Sugay Sisters, LAW, you're tag team division is getting a major upgrade.
Beth Harris: Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the star of the opening round of the Queen of the Ring tournament!
{"Addicted" by Saving Abel cues over the PA System. Following the first line a shot of teal and red pyro lights up the stage as the song continues. Abby walks through the curtains and stops on the stage.}
Beth Harris: Introducing first, from St. Louis Missouri, weighing 130 pounds, Abby Addiction!
{Continuing down the ramp Abby slides into the ring and begins warming up waiting on her opponent in the ring.}
Troy Franklin: Abby is in her second Queen of the Ring tournament, does experience really play a part?
Duke King: It applies to all sports Troy, if you've been there before, you know what to expect.
{"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}
Beth Harris: Her opponent, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 126 pounds, Gabby Camacho!
Troy Franklin: Gabby is in this tournament for the first time in 2017.
Duke King: And she's got a lot to prove.
Skye Sparks: If she fails, which given her history, can very well happen, she will have a long, long road back to the top.
{The bells sounds and Gabby and Abby stare at one another from across the ring, neither showing any intimidation. They lock up, center of the ring, and Abby shoves Gabby back a few steps. Abby smirks and Gabby nods as they circle and lock up again. This time Abby does a go-behind, trips up Gabby and breaks out some amateur wrestling, floating into a grounded front headlock. Gabby fights off her knees, getting back to vertical base and pushing Abby into the corner, forcing the break. Gabby shoves Abby, Abby responds in kind. The two go into a more aggressive lockup with Abby taking a side headlock. Gabby stumbles a bit and backs Abby into the ropes, shooting her off and attempting a hiptoss on the rebound, which Abby blocks. Abby then switches and attempts a hiptoss of her own, but Gabby blocks, and then drops Abby with a clothesline, taking her to the mat! Abby will not stay down, quickly trying to regain her feet, Gabby meets her and rams her head into the top turnbuckle. She follows it up with an elbow, and then begins driving shoulders into Abby’s mid-section. Gabby then grabs Abby’s right arm and pulls her forward into another clothesline that drops Abby again. This time Gabby is on top.
1…
2.. Kickout.}
Troy Franklin: And it seems they both have gotten the early jitters out now.
Duke King: It’s a feeling out process, Troy.
Skye Sparks: One must be on top of the game. This tournament is a test of mental endurance as well as physical endurance.
{Abby quickly tries to shake out the cobwebs getting back up. Gabby attempts the Irish whip, but Abby reverses and catches Gabby with a back elbow that drops her to the mat. Abby then stomps Gabby while she’s getting back up, and then connects with a vicious uppercut once Gabby stands that puts her right back down. Gabby crawls towards the ropes and into a corner where Abby is right there to meet her, loading up and nailing Gabby with hard right hands to the head and body, followed by a reverse elbow that has the former LAW champion seeing stars, slumping down in the corner. Abby then puts her boot on Gabby’s throat, choking her as the official counts and Abby breaks on 3. Abby then pulls Gabby up and whips her into the ropes. On the rebound, Abby goes for a clothesline, which Gabby ducks. Gabby then kicks Abby in the mid-section and hits a DDT! Gabby covers hooking the leg!

2… kickout!}
Troy Franklin: Nice counter by the former LAW champion, but Abby is still in it.
Skye Sparks: Abby is hitting Gabby with some bloody hard shots. Could knock down a mountain she hits so hard.
{Gabby hits a couple of right hands on a kneeling Abby as she begins to get up. Gabby this time completes the Irish whip and attempts a clothesline, but Abby ducks. Spinning around, Abby kicks Gabby in the mid-section and lifts her onto her shoulder, but Gabby slips down her back and pushes Abby forward, Abby stumbles forward and when she turns back around she is clotheslined over the top rope to the floor!}
Troy Franklin: And Gabby sends Abby to the floor!
Duke King: But she’s not letting her stay there for long!
{Gabby heads outside and tosses Abby back into the ring. Following her in, Gabby keeps up the attack with a few hard right hands. The official steps in and orders a break, which Gabby finally obliges. Abby then quickly knees Gabby in the mid-section and tosses her into the corner, and unloads with right hands of her own. The official again steps in, and Abby is none too happy about it. Abby turns to give the official static, but when she turns back, she is met with another clothesline! Gabby quickly mounts Abby and hits more right hands. Gabby gets up, crouching and waiting for Abby to stand, when she does, Gabby charges with a flying shoulder block that sends Abby through the ropes to the floor!}
Troy Franklin: There is no finesse in this match.
Duke King: Not at all. Both these women are swinging for the fences.
{Gabby exits the ring and pulls up Abby, attempting to whip her into the steps, but Abby reverses, and Gabby goes shoulder-first into the steps!}
Troy Franklin: And Gabby eats the steps!
Skye Sparks: Now Abby has a weak point to focus on. Let’s see if she does.
Duke King: This could be the turning point of this match.
{Abby then pulls up Gabby and tosses her into the ring. Abby slides in and makes the cover herself.

The official counts both the 5 count and the 10 count and Abby breaks after a few seconds. Abby rolls back into the ring and moves in on Gabby in the corner, only to get caught with the kick, then a right hand. Gabby again starts firing off rights, but one big punch from Abby in retaliation has her reeling. Abby then grabs Gabby and whips her as hard as she possibly can across the ring to the other corner and Gabby hits back first and crumbles to the mat. Abby slowly gets back to her feet and Abby hits the ropes and kicks Gabby in the side of head with a boot to send her back down.

Troy Franklin: These two will not be denied tonight!
Duke King: And this is the only the tournament opener!

Gabby then signals for the end of the match. She pulls Abby to her feet and lifts her onto her shoulders, looking for the Killzone [TKO] but Abby elbows her way out and lands Behind Gabby, shoving her back-first into the corner before connecting with the Recovery [Cutter] out of nowhere!

Abby backs up and attempts a stinger splash in the corner, but Gabby sidesteps and Abby goes face-first into the turnbuckle! Gabby quickly lifts a stunned Abby onto her shoulders and connects with the Killzone! Gabby slowly covers hooking both legs!

Troy Franklin: And Gabby manages to pull it out!
Duke King: Abby let her frustration get the better of her right there. But Gabby will remember this match.
Skye Sparks: You know either Kenzi or Katalina are salivating at this turn of events. Gabby is in pain.
{“Frontline begins again as Gabby lays on the match clutching her back in pain. She rolls from the ring, slowly making her way to the back, still holding her back from all the abuse of the match.}
Troy Franklin: Well, Gabby advances, but she ran into a buzzsaw in Abby Addiction.
Duke King: Abby put a hurting on Gabby tonight.
{The scene opens backstage. L.A.W. Champion Amy Jo Smyth makes her way down the hall with her friend, Pet, clinging rather closely to her. Pet doesn't seem too interested in AJ's title belt but rather the woman herself as she squeezes her breasts right into the woman's arm.}
Pet: Now you do it to me.
AJS: Physically impossible, Anya.
Pet: No...
{Pet slides her hands down AJ’s midsection, looking to go a little farther down. Smyth grabs her by the wrist, stopping her.}
Pet: What? I was just gonna touch your crotch a little. Only a little. Christ.
AJS: Don't. Please.
{Pet just giggles in response until she notices the familiar sight of Naughty Girl Katalina Star out walking Candi. Candi is all abuzz with their surroundings.}
Candi: They changed this place since the last show soooooooo much.
Katalina: Because we're not in the same arena.
Candi: How come the travel time took much shorter getting here than last time?
Katalina: Because I took a shortcut. Also, this isn't the same arena.
Pet: Hey!
{Pet snaps out at the two. Candi smiles and waves back unaware of the tone being given. Kat does though, and she just sighs as Pet clings even tighter to AJ's hand. AJ remains motionless and just watching.}
Pet: Taking her to an auction?
Katalina: No, Pet.
Pet: I'm not your pet anymore.
Katalina: Fine. Anya.
Pet: You don't get to call me that!
{Smyth looks at Pet, alarmed by her raised voice, then back at Star. She lets the exchange continue.}
Katalina: Will you just let us pass?
Pet: Buyer getting anxious? Or are you just anxious to sell?
{Pet looks at AJ randomly.}
Pet: She sold me, you know.
{AJ doesn’t react to this and Pet returns her glare to her former mistress.}
Pet: What was it? Three million?
Katalina: A billion, and I refunded the money in its entirety.
{Smyth tightens her eyes at this and just seems lost.}
Pet: Cause you were stupid regretful.
Katalina: Yes, I was stupid regretful.
{Katalina Star tugs on Candi’s leash and starts walking forward.}
Katalina: Come on, Candi.
{AJ pulls Pet closer to her to make room for the women to walk by, unimpeded.}
Candi: Bye, Petya! Bye, pretty lady!
Pet: Tell her to stop talking to me!
{Kat just ignores leading Candi further down the hall.}
AJS: Wait. She sold you?
Pet: Huh?
{For a moment Pet looks a little fearful as she turns back to see AJ glaring down the hall at both Kat and Candi, though mostly the former. She then looks back at Pet.}
AJS: That woman, she sold you? Seriously?
{Pet remains quiet, almost worried now, as she looks back at the two then back at AJ. She soon waves her hand in front of Smyth.}
Pet: No, no. That - that was just a joke! No need for you to get involved in that.
{AJ just sighs, shaking her head.}
AJS: If you're serious about it being a joke then you need to stop saying that kind of stupid. I was half ready to smash her face against the… PET!
{Pet is giggling. AJ looks down to find Pet has her hands around her hips and is slowly inching downward toward her crotch area again. She then looks back again at the redhead.}
AJS: Seriously?
Pet: Now you do that to me.
AJS: I’ll do something to you, that’s for sure.
{Smyth moves suddenly, grabbing Pet by the waist, lifts her into the air, and plops the redhead over her shoulder. Smyth carries Pet, giving her a quick slap on the bottom, as they walk toward her dressing room. Pet just squeals and giggles.}
Beth Harris: Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is also a Queen of the Ring tournament match! Introducing first, from Los Angeles California, by way of Seattle, Washington, She weighs 126 pounds, Kenzi Grey!
{“Gimme Your Applause” by Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, & Christina Aguilera begins to play as lightbulbs flash all through the arena. Kenzi Grey walks out with a confident smirk, flanked by her valet in her hooded robe; “The Blood Princess” Sarah Selena Lacklan. An explosion of pyro erupts as she strikes a pose for the cameras. Kenzi and Sarah ignore the outstretched hands of their adoring fans as they head down to the ring. Kenzi continues to smile, blowing kisses to the crowd as Sarah ignores them. As Kenzi reaches ringside, she helps Sarah remove her cowl, revealing the porcelain complexion, platinum hair, and red eyes of “The Blood Princess.” The two women discuss match strategy, then Kenzi climbs onto the ring apron and pauses again for the flash of the cameras, as she kneels there with a smirk. She climbs the turnpost and gives the fans one more photo opportunity as she sits atop the turnbuckle, still blowing kisses and smirking at the fans. She hops down, finally entering the ring as she readies herself for her opponent. Kenzi takes the microphone from Beth, smirking as the boos start.}
Kenzi: Tonight, is MY night! I know it. I just KNOW it! I get to share it with all of you!
{Boos.}
Kenzi: Tonight, my marriage, and becoming YOUR Queen of the Ring, 2017, will be the moment that everyone finally notices me for the STAR I am!
{Boos.}
Kenzi: Now Mama Kat, I know you also had your heart set on this, but unfortunately for you, you ran into me! And you will fall. And Gabby...
{Kenzi winks.}
Kenzi: See you soon.
{More boos as Kenzi hands the microphone back to Beth.}
Troy Franklin: Someone is awfully confident.
Duke King: Don't you try and ruin this moment for her Troy! It's going to be a great night!
Skye Sparks: It COULD be. She could go out right here and now!
{The low strums of ''Que*r'' start up as Katalina comes out from the back holding a thick chain leash over her shoulder as her doll crawls along on all fours in behind her. The duo make their way to the ring with Katalina paying some notice to the crowd before arriving at the ring. Without missing a beat in her step, Katalina walks her doll up to a ring post wrapping the leash around it and locking it in place with a padlock tucking the key inside of her top. She then crouches down in front of her doll striking a finger beneath her chin drawing it up prompting the latex clad woman to look up at her mistress. Katalina then kisses her doll on the forehead before turning and quickly rolling into the ring where she gets to her feet as the song dies down.}
Beth Harris: And her opponent, from Sussex, England, She weighs 129 pounds, Katalina Star!
Troy Franklin: Weird.
Duke King: Don't judge.
Skye Sparks: This entire Naughty Girls thing is right weird. Bloody freaks they are!
{The bell sounds as Kat extends her arms for a pre-match hug. Kenzi is at first hesitant, and then brings it in for a hug.}
Troy Franklin: And… they are going to hug?
Duke King: They are friends Troy. Not everyone in this tournament are enemies!
Skye Sparks: Bollocks. There can only be one Queen!
{Kenzi and Kat break the hug, Kenzi turns away as does Kat, before BOTH go for a cheap shot on the other and stop before hitting each other. Kenzi and Kat have their fists balled up, but neither is throwing a punch. Kenzi asks Kat about the fist, and Kat questions the same. Kenzi then lowers her fist, and Kat responds in kind. The two then back off and circle.}
Troy Franklin: Look at that, they both thought about cheating!
Duke King: But they didn’t!
{Kenzi and Kat lock up, and Kat instantly goes behind Kenzi and trips her to the mat, crawling up Kenzi’s back and legs, and Kenzi freaks out and moves away from Kat, crawling and snickering at Kenzi’s discomfort. Kenzi gets back to her feet, as does Kat before they lock up again. This time Kenzi does the go-behind and trip and she starts crawling up Kat’s back and legs, but the Domina seems pleased by this, and Kenzi rolls away again annoyed it didn’t work.}
Troy Franklin: Kenzi’s not going to get anywhere trying to play mind games with Kat.
Duke King: Not many can.
Skye Sparks: Bloody freaks.
{Both women are back to their feet and lock up. Kenzi taking a side headlock. Kat backs her into the ropes and tries to shoot her off, but Kenzi keeps a hold Kat’s hair and the hold remain intact. Kat then starts burying right hands into Kenzi’s mid-section to loosen her grip. Kat then breaks out and applies a headlock of her own. Kenzi backs her into the ropes and shoots her off. Kat runs at Kenzi who drops down. Kat continues to run as Kenzi leap frogs her. Kenzi attempts a monkey flip, But Kat stops, and drops to all fours, hovering over Kenzi, who again gets upset and rolls away from Kat.}
Troy Franklin: And again, Kat has the mental edge.
Skye Sparks: Kenzi needs a new gameplan, this one isn’t working.
{Kat is back up as Kenzi kicks the ropes in frustration. She and Kenzi lock up this time Kat takes the side headlock. Kenzi quickly backs her into the ropes and shoots her off again. Kenzi swings wildly for a clothesline but Kat ducks. Kat rebound, Kenzi attempts an elbow and Kat ducks that, and when Kenzi spins around Kat nails her with a standing dropkick! Kenzi goes down as Kat goes and pats her on the back, rubbing up her shoulder and Kenzi has to swat her hand away. Kenzi motions for the referee to get Kat back, and he does so, but Kenzi uses this opportunity to lunge at Kat and start using hard clubbing blows. Kenzi backs Kat into the corner and starts driving knees into Kat’s ribs. Kenzi tries the irish whip across but Kat reverses. Kenzi quickly hops on the second rope and jumps backwards towards Kat, but Kat ducks out of the way and Kenzi splats the canvas!}
Troy Franklin: And Kenzi takes a risk and it doesn’t pay off!
Duke King: Kenzi needs to focus. She’s trying everything she can think of to try and out-edge Kat.
{Kenzi stumbles up and Kat takes her arm and wrings it. Kat wrenches on it and then wrings it again, and Kenzi flips onto the canvas. Kenzi quickly fights back up, and Kat positions herself in front of the referee and yanks Kenzi down by the hair! Kenzi quickly gets up, threatening to unload with a right hand, but hesitates. It costs her and Kat repeats pulling her down by the hair. Kenzi again shoots up and just yanks Kat down by the hair! Kat gets up and she also threatens to punch Kenzi, but does not. Kenzi quickly then backs Kat into the ropes and shoots her off. Kenzi leapfrogs Kat who keeps going. On the rebound, Kenzi drops down and Kat bounds off the ropes again, Kat comes forward and Kenzi uses Kat’s hair and tosses her over the top to the floor! Kenzi stands proud of herself and Candi rushes to Kat’s aid.}
Troy Franklin: These two can’t stop cheating!
Skye Sparks: You do what you have to do.
Duke King: Kat just took a hard spill onto the floor though.
{Kenzi exits the ring as Candi is still helping Kat and demands Candi move. Candi ignores her so Kenzi no-so-gently moves Candi out of the way before attacking Kat, and then tossing her back inside. Kenzi hits an axehandle to the back of Kat to keep her stunned until Kenzi pulls her up. Kenzi then whips Kat into the ropes and goes for a clothesline, but Kat ducks, and goes behind Kenzi and runs her into the ropes falling back with a reverse sunset rollup, complete with a handful of tights! The official sees it, and then Kenzi reverses into a cradle of her own, and she too, is holding the tights. The official spots that and Kat rolls back again and they go into the ropes. Kat quickly stands and drives an elbow into Kenzi’s back.}
Troy Franklin: Again with this cheating!
Duke King: You know the saying Troy, if you’re not cheating, you’re not trying!
{Kat stands, as does Kenzi, albeit slower. Kat hits a right hand, burying it in the mid-section of Kenzi, followed by a side kick to the chest! That drops Kenzi and Kat covers.
1….
2…
Kickout by Kenzi!
Kat gets back up and walks towards Kenzi, who is on her knees. Kenzi hits a few punches to the mid-section of Kat, but is stopped by a kick. Kat pushes Kenzi back into the corner, hitting a couple of hard back elbows before whipping Kenzi across to the opposite corner. Kat charges, but Kenzi catches her with a boot to the jaw that drops Kat. Kenzi quickly stacks up Kat and puts her feet on the ropes for added leverage!
1…
2…
From the outside, Candi pushes Kenzi’s feet off the ropes! Kenzi is furious about this, complaining to the official about the outside interference. Kenzi then exits the ring and shoves Candi down! Kenzi quickly slides into the ring where she runs right into a Kat clothesline! Kat stands up, looking around for Candi who is slowly getting up. Kat turns back, right into the Breakout Performance! [Codebreaker] Kenzi then shakes off the cobwebs as Candi is now back up, and climbs onto the apron and into the ring!}
Troy Franklin: Candi is in the ring!
Duke King: She does not look happy!
{Kenzi gets up, seeing Candi in the ring and tells her to leave. Candi stares a hole through Kenzi, who shakes her head and walks towards Candi, yelling at her to leave, but Candi cuts her off with a roundhouse kick out of nowhere!}
Troy Franklin: What a shot!
Duke King: Candi does know Tae Kwon Do!
Skye Sparks: She just dropped Kenzi like a bag of bloody dirt she did!
{Kenzi goes down and Candi lets out a roar like a lion before she pounces on Kenzi and seems to be trying to maul her like an actual lion. The official finally turns and sees this, and calls for the bell as Katalina gets back to her feet, and rushes over to pull Candi off of Kenzi.}
Troy Franklin: Wait, there’s the bell! The referee saw Candi interfere!
Duke King: You know what that means!
{Kenzi rolls out of the ring still covering up as Katalina has a hard time restraining Candi. Candi roars again to the delight of the crowd. However, Beth Harris’ announcement does not.}
Beth Harris: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match, as a result of disqualification…. KENZI GREY!
{Kenzi gets her hand raised as Katalina looks disappointed, and Candi comes back to her senses and looks sheepish as Katalina, who cannot help but smile at her pet lion. She hugs her as Kenzi continues up the ramp. There is a small “Candi” chant as a result of her actions.}
Troy Franklin: Kenzi gets the win, but she may not want to mess with Candi ever again.
Skye Sparks: That girl is bundle of dynamite!
Duke King: But it remains that now we get Gabby taking on Kenzi, and we now have 50% of the Lacklan-Grey finale!
Beth Harris: Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is also a Queen of the Ring tournament match!
{“Monster by Paramore” begins to blast all over the speakers. As it does so we are able to see Kate Steele-Warren emerge on the entrance ramp. She has a guitar in her hand but she doesn’t even bother to strum at it. She shows absolutely no emotion before she decides to hand her guitar to her husband Todd Warren who escorts her. She walks down to the ring locked in a trance as fans eagerly stretch out their arms to get the redhead to slap their hands. However what they get in return is nothing. No screaming, no reaction, just Kate simply walking to the ring. Todd smiles as he takes her place and tries to slap their hands but the fans pull back as they give him dirty looks.
She finally makes her way to the ring and once she get’s there she quickly slides into the ring. The fans roar with Steele chants but she just bounces around for a bit not acknowledging them as her mind is focus on the match itself.}
Troy Franklin: Kate Steele and Sarah Lacklan are not strangers to each other, and this should be a hell of a fight.
Duke King: You said it right Troy, fight.
Skye Sparks: Ii hope they beat the bloody hell out of each other.
{The lights go out as a red spotlight flashes down on the entrance area. Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata begins to play over the PA system and a body steps out onto the entrance ramp. Kenzi Grey, the sexiest valet in the history of all sporting events, is wearing a #TeamKickass t-shirt and stands in the spotlight for a moment, but then moves out of the way and gestures for a figure in a hooded robe to take her place as the guitars hit. But instead, Sarah appears from under the ring, slithering into the ring and nailing Kate from behind!}
Troy Franklin: And Sarah attacks from behind!
Duke King: This is how you get attention!
Skye Sparks: She's been running her mouth about becoming Queen, and this is a sound strategy to start.
{ The bell sounds as Sarah nails Kate with some stomps and kicks to keep her down, yelling and screaming at her to get up. Kate does so and Sarah rams her face-first into the top turnbuckle. Spinning Kate around in the corner, Sarah hits kicks and knees and that forces Kate to slump down in the corner, and Sarah starts choking her with her boot, still screaming obscenities at her. The official forces the break with his count and Sarah backs off momentarily before attacking again, as Kate gasps for air. Sarah the pulls Kate out of the corner and drops an elbow. She covers.

Kate kicks out. Sarah is undaunted, getting up and taunting Kate as Kate tries to get up. Sarah then hits the ropes, mowing Kate down with a clothesline. Sarah again motions for Kate get up, and Sarah again hits the ropes Sarah attempts a second clothesline, but Kate ducks and hits the wrap around DDT! Kate slowly gets to her feet shaking off the assault from Sarah. Kate then mounts Sarah and hits several right hands that the ref warns her about using a closed fist. Kate gets in the official’s face and Sarah manages to get up and attack Kate again from behind. She grabs Kate’s arm and tries for a crossface chicken wing, but Kate managed to elbow her way out. Kate hits some hard right hands and goes to hit the ropes, but Sarah just yanks her down by the hair! Sarah then drives a knee into Kate’s forehead while she’s on the mat, and then starts choking the very life out of Kate. The official has to step in again and count, and Sarah is forced to break. Sarah gives him static as well. Sarah tries to pull Kate up, but Kate pulls her into an inside cradle!
1….
2.
Kickout!}
Troy Franklin: Kate almost pulled one over on Sarah.
Duke King: But Sarah is still in control. Kate got caught off guard to start this match and Sarah has been relentless.
{Sarah is quickly back up and stomping Kate before can get up. Sarah then measures up a soccer style kick straight into Kate’s ribs. Sarah smiles as she kicks at Kate on the mat, motioning for her to get up again. Sarah grabs a handful of Kate’s hair to pull her up, but Kate fights back with an elbow, and the tackles Sarah straight to the mat and begins firing away with elbows, fists and forearms. The official warns Kate about this and she ignores him. He yells that he will disqualify Kate and she finally relents, but gets right back in the official’s face about this. Kate then pulls Sarah up and hits a belly to back suplex and then a quick leg drop. She signals for the end and waits on Sarah to stand, and then leaps onto Sarah’s back, trying for a rear naked choke!}
Troy Franklin: She’s trying for the choke!
Skye Sparks: She may have weathered the storm and pull this out!
{Sarah has an arm in and the hold is not quite applied, but Kate wrenches for all she’s worth trying to slip her arm under Sarah’s chin. Sarah then runs backwards with Kate and slams her into the corner. The hold is broken momentarily, but Kate quickly reapplies the hold! The arm slips under Sarah’s chin, and Sarah begins flailing wildly in an effort to escape. Sarah then reaches up and rakes Kate’s eyes and that forces Kate to release. Kate stumbles blindly around the ring and Sarah quickly hooks her from behind and hits The Abyss [Reverse DDT] Sarah covers hooking the leg.

3!}
Troy Franklin: And Sarah Lacklan is now in the semi finals!
Duke King: Sarah had a gameplan, and Kate never really got out of the blocks.
Skye Sparks: Kate should have known Sarah would do something like this. She paid the price.
{Sarah is still gasping for some air as her music plays and she smiles wickedly as she rolls from the ring, yelling that Kate was just the first victim. Sarah holds up one finger as she walks away.}
Troy Franklin: So Sarah Lacklan now joins Gabby Camacho and Kenzi Grey in the semi finals.
Duke King: One step closer to an all Lackaln-Grey finals!
Skye Sparks: Now all that’s left is to see who Sarah will be facing.
Beth Harris: Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is also a Queen of the Ring tournament match, and is the final match of the first round!
{The opening bass line to "I Will Not Break" by A Sound Of Thunder blares out of the PA system and the camera pans around the arena as the fans rise to their feet and cheer wildly.
"And you heard the girls talking...and you thought they were talking about you..."
"Oh no, we can't ask her! She's a creep!"
"Who are they talking about?"
As the song kicks in, the camera cuts to the stage where we see "Unbreakable" Stacy Jones standing there with a large grin on her face. She then begins to make her way down the ramp, slapping the fans hands on the way.}
Beth Harris: Making her way to the ring...from Orlando, Florida by way of New York City, New York...standing in at 5 foot 7 and weighing in at 150 pounds! "Unbreakable"...Stacy...Jones!
{Once she reaches the bottom of the ramp, she turns to her super fan, Elsie and removes her plain black wool hat and places it onto her head before she makes her way over to the ring and hops up onto the apron. Putting her back to the ropes, she takes hold of the top rope with both hands and proceeds to backflip over the ropes and into the ring.
Walking to the centre of the ring, she unzips her leather jacket and then throws up the devils horns with her hands before removing her jacket and handing it to a ringside employee as "I Will Not Break" fades out.}
Troy Franklin: Stacy Jones won the battle royal three weeks ago, and she has all the momentum going into Queen of the Ring!
Duke King: Think about this guys, Stacy Jones debuted back in May. She could be in an LAW championship match in November!
{“Limelight” by Rush hits. The lights drop low. White stars dance around the ring and stage area. A single spotlight in the shape of a star drops over the center of the stage. Into the light walks La Estrella in her star covered black cape and she quickly throws out of her arms. The crowd pops. La Estrella charges forward and slides into the ring. Once in the center of the ring, she spins around in the star-shaped spotlight and listens to the crowd. The Shooting Star leaps up onto the top turnbuckle and throws her arms up for the pumped fans. Her music slowly fades out and she slips out of her cape.}
Troy Franklin: La Estrella has been here before, she wants desperately to make name for herself and tonight she can.
Duke King: Everyone can, but you're right, she's surprised people before, she can clearly do it again.
{The bell sounds as the two circle. There is show of sportsmanship as the two shake hands mid ring. They lock up and Stacy quickly takes the arm and wrings it. Stacy wrenches on the arm to keep control, and Estella does some tumbling and flipping on the mat and reverses into an arm wringer of her own. Stacy then turns into the hold and applies a headlock on Estrella to break the wringer. Stacy grinds on that as well, forcing Estrella to a knee. She pops up shortly afterward, shooting a couple of forearms into Stacy’s mid-section and shoots her off into the ropes. On the rebound, the bigger, stronger Stacy runs Estrella over with a shoulderblock. Estrella stays down as Stacy hits the ropes. Stacy jumps over as Estrella pops up, and leapfrogs the oncoming Stacy, and smoothly falls down and then takes Stacy over with a monkey flip! Stacy flips through the air and lands on her backside. She stands up as Estrella charges and jumps, looking for a standing monkey flip, but Stacy deposits her on the apron. Estrella quickly hits a forearm and sends Stacy stumbling away, before Estrella springboards and hits a dropkick that takes Stacy off her feet! Stacy stumbles up and Estrella tries for the whip but Stacy reverses. Estrella springboards off the middle rope and back flips over Stacy, landing on her feet. Estrella bounds back, but runs right into tilt-a-whirl backbreaker!}
Troy Franklin: Nice counter by Stacy!
Skye Sparks: That La Estrella will run her ragged if she doesn’t ground her.
{Stacy measures Estrella as she slowly gets up and mows her down with a clothesline. Estrella crawls to the corner to regroup, but Stacy is right there and chops her across the chest. Stacy repeats the action and Estrella slumps down in the corner. The official forces Stacy back, but only for a second, as she moves back in. She goes for the Irish whip, but Estrella reverses. Estrella charges, but Stacy tries to back drop her to the floor. Estrella lands on the apron and drives a shoulder into the mid-section of Stacy. Estrella begins to climb the ropes, but Stacy catches her before she makes it fully. Stacy climbs on the middle rope and then gorilla presses Estrella, throwing her across the ring with a super press slam!}
Troy Franklin: Super press slam! WOW!
Duke King: That was amazing strength right there!
{Estrella rolls to the floor clutching her back, trying to get oxygen back in her body. Stacy exits the ring and pulls Estrella up and tosses her back into the ring. She slides in and pulls Estrella up, hooking her for a vertical suplex, and lifts her high into the air. Stacy holds this for 7-8 seconds before dropping Estrella with the suplex. Stacy then covers hooking the leg.
1…
2…
Kickout by La Estrella.}
Duke King: Stacy is doing the right thing. Slow the pace down, keep La Estrella on the mat.
Skye Sparks: I already bloody mentioned that.
Duke King: Maybe she heard you.
{Stacy stands, pulling La Estrella up and hitting a stiff European uppercut that drops Estrella to the mat. She pulls her up again, scooping her up and hitting a backbreaker. Showing a strength advantage, Stacy stands, still holding Estrella and hits another back breaker. She stands yet again and delivers a third. She covers afterward.
1…
2…
Estrella again kicks out.}
Troy Franklin: Again, Stacy is the bigger and stronger wrestler, she is wearing down La Estrella.
Skye Sparks: La Estella has better wake up, maybe her mask is too tight.
{Stacy looks a little annoyed as Estrella crawls towards the corner to create some distance. Stacy moves in, but catches a headbutt in the mid-section, followed by a second one. Stacy quickly hits blow to the back to stun Estrella and regain the advantage. She whips Estrella across into the opposite corner. Stacy charges, but Estrella gets the boots up. Stacy charges again and Estrella wraps her legs around Stacy’s head and tries to swing her body for a hurricanrana, but Stacy counters THAT into a powerbomb!}
Troy Franklin: What a counter!
{Stacy then drags Estrella into position and exits the ring onto the apron. She climbs up, looking for the Times Arrow [450 splash] She sets up, and jumps, but Estrella rolls out of the way and Stacy splats on the canvas!}
Troy Franklin: Stacy takes flight and misses!
Duke King: She took a chance and it backfired!
{Estrella rolls of the corner, trying to catch a breather. Stacy however slowly gets to her feet, still clutching her ribs. Stacy charges, but Estrella moves aside and Stacy hits the corner chest-first. Estrella springboards onto the middle ropes and executes a diving moonsault onto Stacy! She stays on top for the cover!
1….

Stacy manages to kick out!
Estrella slowly gets up, Stacy now scrambles up confused and Estrella takes her over with a hurricanrana! She hooks the legs!
1…
2…
NO! Stacy kicks out!
Stacy again scrambles to get up, charging Estrella for a clothesline but Estrella ducks and hits dropkick to Stacy’s back, sending her stumbling forwards. Estrella hits the ropes and on the rebound Stacy attempts another tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, but Estrella counters it into a Spinning DDT! Estrella covers hooking the leg!
1….
2….
3NO! Stacy JUST manages to roll the shoulder!}
Troy Franklin: Stacy is in a lot of trouble right now!
Skye Sparks: You see, the pace quickened and La Estrella is running circles around her!
{Estrella is undaunted, dragging Stacy into position as she now climbs to the top rope. She prepares for the Starlight Drop [Five Star Frog Splash] but Stacy is already on her feet. Estrella the tries for the diving Hurricanrana, but its countered by Stacy, who catches La Estrella in mid-air! Estrella counters THAT, leaping up and over Stacy, trying for a sunset flip, but Stacy sits down on top of her!
1…

Estrella kicks her legs forward, completing the sunset flip!

Stacy rolls out, and grabs Estrella’s legs looking for the Your Final Penance [Scorpion Crosslock] Estrella hits a few hard right hands to escape and Stacy let’s go. Estrella gets back up, measuring Stacy for a Thrust kick, but Stacy sidesteps it. Stacy ducks her head between Estrella’s legs, lifting her up in the electric chair position! Estrella counters with punches to the head and twists forward, but Stacy counters into a powerbomb! Stacy then wraps the legs of La Estrella and finally locks in Your Final Penance. Estrella has no place to go, fighting and reaching for the ropes, but eventually, she taps out.}
Troy Franklin: What a sequence! Stacy Jones is now in the semi-finals!
Duke King: She had an extra counter in the bag. But Stacy had the fight of her life right there!
{Stacy releases the hold and lays on the mat worn out. She holds her head as she slowly gets to her feet, and helps La Estrella up to hers. The two again share of a handshake and hug before they depart.}
Troy Franklin: We now know the final four! Gabby Camacho will face Kenzi Grey and Sarah Lacklan will now face Stacy Jones.
Duke King: Four women that do long like each other. And that means we are one step away from an all Lacklan-Grey final!
Skye Sparks: Oh my god, you are so bloody hung up on that.
{Backstage, Katie is putting the final touches to her room where she plans to bring Jessika for the night with Chastity standing to the side when she feels a tapping on her shoulder. Believing it to be Chastity, Katie brushes the hand away until she feels another tapping this one a little more urgent.}
Katie: Chastity, stop!
{A hand grips Katie's hair pulling her head back and Katie comes face to face with her Mistress.}
Katalina: I'm not Chastity and you will not brush me away.
{Katie gasps and as soon as Kat releases her hair she gets to her feet.}
Katie: Apologies, Mistress. I-I didn't know it was you. I would have thought you'd be busy getting ready for your matches tonight.
Katalina: I am, which is why I'm here. I want your guarantee that this will be the end of it. That you will leave Jessika's place by my side alone.
Katie: No worries there, Mistress. After I beat Jessika she'll not only know her place, she'll have been forced to accept it.
{Katie sounds both certain and proud to say this as Kat holds out her hand. Katie stares at it a little uncertain as to the meaning.}
Katalina: Chastity's leash. Give it to me.
Katie: Y...yes, Mistress.
{Katie offers it out to Kat who gives it a gentle tug as Chastity takes her new place in behind Kat right alongside Candi.}
Katalina: Just the two of you. Win or lose, you will both be done with this tonight.
{Kat turns away tugging both leads bringing Chastity and Candi behind her as Katie watches her go.}
Katie: There's no losing for me. Not tonight.
Beth Harris: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is the Fatal Fourway! Introducing first…
{Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” hits the P.A. as the bubbling ball of questionable mafia connections bounds onto the ramp.}
Beth Harris: Weighing in at 125 lbs and standing at 5’6”, all the way from Italy, MARIA SALVATORE!
{Maria runs down to the aisle with a face full of smiles. She slides into the ring and raises her hands to get a pop from the crowd.}
Beth Harris: Introducing next, from Washington, and standing 5’8” and weighing 138 lbs, LAURA AMBER WILLIAMS!
{Stirling and Hale belt out “Shatter Me” as the arena is bathed in pink, velvet, and turquoise lights. Laura is a tornado of bouncing hips as she steps out onto the stage. She skips down the aisle and spends more time wiggling her ass to the delight of the crowd than the next seven members of the roster combined.}
Beth Harris: And from Monmouth County, New Jersey…
{Laser lights fill the arena with red and gold as Ashley walks out with one of her signature hoods over her face and begins to walk down the aisle with “Lights Out” by the Royal Blood playing in the background.}
Beth Harris Standing at 5’6” and weighing in at 117 lbs...and someone often mistaken for some woman in a few Disney movies...the Future of Female Wrestling...ASHLEY WILLIAMS!
{Ashley walk along the apron of the ring and throws back her hood to unleash her golden locks, a cocky smirk on her face.
“There’s a humming in the restless summer air…”
Ashley’s smirk slips into anger as Lorde’s “Glory and Gore” plays on the P.A.}
Beth Harris: And from Salem, Oregon...standing at 5’5” and weighing in at 121 lbs...representing the Cool Kids….MILISANDRE CROWTHORNE!
{The entrance is filled with red and white as Milisandre walks out, but she is not alone. As she walks down the aisle, generally ignoring the fans, the rest of the Cool Kids follow behind her. Sarah, Kenzi, Roxy, and Angie, with only Angie not in her wrestling gear from earlier matches on the card. All the girls have their phones out and are live-tweeting Milisandre’s entrance. Milisandre slides into the ring as the other four girls have security remove a handful of people from their seats and take them, making sure to tell everyone around them that, “No, you can’t sit with us.”}
Troy Franklin: These Cool Kids sure are annoying.
Duke King: I like them!
Skye Sparks: My cat’s breath smells like cat food.
DING DING DING
Troy Franklin: And this match has begun!
Duke King: And look at the eyes of Milisandre and Ashley!
Skye Sparks: I have eyes.
{In the ring, Maria and Laura run at each other and lock up, but Milisandre and Ashley stare at each other from opposite corners. The dust-up between Ashley and Roxy that ended with Ashley leaving the Cool Kids group is clearly between them. Ashley steps out of the corner and gestures for Milisandre to come fight her, but the Cool Kid just stands in the corner looking bored.}
Troy Franklin: Ashley is ready to go here with one of her former friends, but Milisande doesn’t seem interested.
Duke King: Well, Troy, the way I hear it, the only thing she’s interested in is “piggy back rides” from some Russian/Maine/Aiel dude.
{Ashley walks towards Milisandre but gets cut off by the duo of Laura and Maria locked in a collar and elbow tieup. Ashley looks annoyed for a moment, but the duo do not notice her ire, instead continuing to jockey for position. Laura reaches around and grabs a handful of the brunette’s hair and pulls her to the ground. She smiles in triumph at the downed Maria and then runs against the ropes, but eats a spinning heel kick from Ashley! Laura goes down in a heap as Ashley looks down at her. Maria gets to her feet but then gets sent right back down to the mat as Ashley drops were with a quick series of punches.}
Troy Franklin: The Future of Female Wrestling looking good out here!
Duke King: And she’s just turned her eyes back to her former friend.
{With the other two presently disposed of, Ashley turns to attention to the bored Milisandre. But angry eyes bug into surprise as Milisandre suddenly bursts out of the corner and leaps into the air, taking her down with a clothesline. Milisandre immediately floats into the mount and rains down punches on Ashley, a vicious light in her eyes.}
Troy Franklin: And now Milisandre with a fire we haven’t seen yet!
Duke King: It looks like she’s snapped!
{Ashley is able to cover up from most of the blows and eventually push Milisandre off. Both get back to their feet but Milisandre is on top of her again, clubbing her with an axehandle and then bringing her up and over with an exploder suplex! She makes a quick cover.
1!
Kickout!}
Troy Franklin: Milisandre with a quick cover there, looking to capitalize on a stunned Ashley.
Duke King: It is not official, but there is talk that the winner of this match goes a long way towards having a shot at Etsuko’s Breakout Championship.
Skye Sparks: Belts are shiny.
{Milisandre grabs a handfull of hair as she pulls Ashley back to her feet, Ay-Dub pushes her away and into the ropes, catching her with kick to the gut on the rebound. She quickly hooks her head for a suplex and, reaching deep to hook her left leg, brings Milisandre up and over with a fisherman suplex! She holds onto the bridge!
1!
Kickout!}
Troy Franklin: These two young women are focusing on what matters in this match: Winning.
{Both Milisandre and Ashley back into separate corners and look at one another, both with smirks on their faces. They stand up and walk toward one another for another round, but both get jumped by the other two opponents. Maria runs into Milisandre as Laura runs into Ashley, each throwing fists into their respective corners. But after the initial flurry, both Milisandre and Ashley take control of their opponents, with the Ashley sending Laura down with a massive german suplex and Milisandre dumping Maria to the outside with clothesline that makes her fall all the way to the floor!}
Troy Franklin: Wow! What a clothesline from the Cool Kid! Maria landed right on her head on the outside!
Duke King: And it looks like the other Cool Kids are in on the action!
{Outside the ring, Sarah, Kenzi, Angie, and Roxy have climbed out of their seats and crowded Maria. But they aren’t looking for a beatdown...just a selfie! They smile for a picture with Maria before the poor Italian falls back down to the mat.}
Troy Franklin: I wonder how long that will take to-
Duke King: Ding! Already tweeted out!
Skye Sparks: Holy Greg Hutton!
{Back in the ring, Ashley gets to Milisandre first, hitting her from behind with a hammerfist to stun her. She hooks Milisandre’s waist and brings her up and over with a german suplex. But she can’t hold onto the bridge and Milisandre rolls out and to the side. She gets to one knee but eats a foot in the face from Ashley, who then pulls her up by her hair and snaps her down with a fast vertical suplex. Ashley sees that she is right next to the turnbuckle and climbs, setting her stance, and flips backward onto Milisandre with a beautfully arced moonsault.}
Troy Franklin: Cr-Ash Landing! She stays on for the cover!
Duke King: This could be it!
{1!
2!
Broken up by Laura! A double axehandle smash from her ends the pin, and she pulls Ashley to her feet by her hair and drives a few elbows into her face as Milisandre rolls to a corner to catch her breath. The Cool Kid gets to one knee and puts a her finger to her mouth and pulls it back, a drop of blood on her finger. She smiles when she sees that that last kick made her mouth bleed. She gets to her feet and charges forward, squashing both Laura and Ashley in the corner. She slings haymakers over Laura’s head, her fists landing on the top of Ashley’s head several times in a row.}
Troy Franklin: A burst of anger from Milisandre Crowthorne!
Duke King: Its like something snapped in her.
{Laura finally turns around and pushes Milisandre away, but the Antediluvian Queen rushes right back in and leaps into the air, taking the brunette down with a press. She rains down punches from the mount and, as Laura tries to cover up, Milisandre grabs her arm, floats forward, and locks in an Anaconda Vice.}
Troy Franklin: Beautiful transition into the Miasma!
Duke King: I think that was the whole point of the press into mounted punches, Troy. What do you think, Skye?
Skye Sparks: Usually you pay double for that kind of action, Duke.
{Laura screams in agony as Milisandre smiles. She yells out for Laura to beg for mercy, to which her sistren on the outside fall over in giggles in their seats, and Laura almost taps out, but Ashley is there to break it up. She drives another foot into Milisandre’s head. She stays on her former friend and picks up her with hands full of hair, but Milisandre drops onto her back and tucks in her legs, driving Ashley’s face into her knees!}
Troy Franklin: Bow Down out of nowhere!
{Ashley was able to get a hand in to partially block the move but she is still hit hard and finds herself flailing backwards. She lands into the ropes and gets caught in them! She is stuck in the ropes!}
Troy Franklin: Ashley is stuck in the ropes! The referee needs to get her out of the ropes as soon as possible!
{Ashley frantically tries to free herself, but she seems to only be making the situation worse. Back on her feet, Milisandre smirks as she stands in front of her, just far enough away to avoid a kick. She looks at Ashley and then down at Laura. With an even bigger smirk, she hooks her feet and legs around Laura’s and then flings her body backwards and hook Laura’s chin in her hands.}
Troy Franklin: Decay! Decay applied!
Duke King: This is how she won her debut against Maria!
{The referee is trying to get Ashley free from the ropes but he cannot help but hear Laura screaming in pain. He slides over to check on her and calls for the bell! Laura has quit!}
{Sarah and Kenzi are a sweaty mess after their first round matches, but the newlyweds sit close to one another discussing match strategy, still unable to keep their hands off one another. The door to the locker room opens and AMC walks in and congratulates Sarah on her victory over Kate Steele.}
AMC: Really great job out there Sarah! Beating Kate is no easy task.
{She turned to Kenzi, but before she could say anything Sidney Grey burst through the door with Colin Reed in tow. A vicious grin touched her lips as she saw AMC there.}
Sidney Grey: Well, this is perfect! I don’t know if I could have written this any better! I am GLAD that you are all here. We seem to have ourselves a VERY BIG problem!
{Sid eyed AMC and Kenzi, as if the two of them should have already knew where this was headed. Sarah turned to Kenzi, looking at her new wife and then eyeing AMC.}
Sarah Selena Lacklan: Beloved…tell me what’s going on. We are married now…there are no more secrets.
Kenzi Grey: Baby, I have no idea what she is talking about! Nothing at all!
{Kenzi stood up, facing off with her mother as she waved off Colin.}
Kenzi Grey: Sorry Colin…this is a family matter. We won’t be needing you for this.
{She turned to her mother, anger etched all over her face.}
Kenzi Grey: I want to know what this is all about!!
{Sid tried hard to hide the look of victory on her face.}
Sidney Grey: This is about the fact that your marriage to a farce!
{Sarah got to her feet, rage coursing through her. She had warned Sid about this before, and now it was the last straw.}
Sarah Selena Lacklan: THAT’S IT! I WARNED YOU MOTHER GREY! I WILL…
Sidney Grey: You’re match is a farce because little Ms. Kenzi Grey-Lacklan is already married!
{Sarah stopped in her tracks, her eyes blinking in confusion as she looked at Kenzi and then back to Sid. All eyes turned to AMC as Sid glared at her with a huge grin on her face.}
Sidney Grey: Tell them dear. Tell them about what happened last year when LAW came to Las Vegas…and you took her to get married!
{Sarah shoved Kenzi aside as she attacked AMC, hands grabbing for her throat as she tried to fend her off.}
AMC: SARAH! STOP IT WE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING!! I DON’T EVEN REMEMBER!!
{The commotion came to a quick in as Colin spoke up.}
Colin Reed: STOP! Please…stop this! Kenzi didn’t marry Ms. Chase…she married me.
{The room went deadly silent as all eyes were on Colin as he took a deep breath.}
Colin Reed: It was weird…emotions were high. Long story short…there was a lot of drinking and one thing led to another. Ms. Chase witnessed it.
AMC: I don’t…I really don’t remember…much from that…night.
Colin Reed: Everyone was really drunk. You know how Kenzi always joked about me being her boyfriend. It…it just happened.
{Sarah let go of AMC and stared at Kenzi, a mixture of hurt, confusion, and rage in her eyes. Kenzi reached out to touch her, but Sarah pulled away in disgust as she turned and stormed out, slamming the door behind her. Kenzi’s eyes welled with tears as she looked at the three of them.}
Kenzi Grey: This can’t be right…it can’t be! IT CAN’T BE RIGHT!
Colin Reed: Kenzi…we were all really drunk, I didn’t eve…
{Kenzi covered her mouth and turned and ran to the bathroom as AMC followed her, trying to calm her down. Sid turned to Colin, a satisfied look on her face.}
Sidney Grey: So…do you want to call me Mom or something else?
{Colin shook his head as he turned and walked out, leaving Sid to gloat over invalidating her daughter’s marriage to Sarah.}
{Under Dance of the Knight’s intimidating opening sequence, the lights go dark for a few seconds. A red light shines on the entrance where Angelica is standing still in the middle, looking down. She slowly raises her head and begins a careful, calculated walk towards the ring.}
Beth Harris: The Following contest is set for one fall.. on her way to the ring, now residing in Monmouth County... Representing the Cool Kids... ANGELICA VAUGHN!!
{She doesn’t run or jog, or address the crowd much, as she is focused solely on her opponent. She uses the ring steps to enter, before stepping through the middle and top rope. Once inside, she goes to the middle of the ring where a red spotlight focuses on her. She spreads her arms wide, smiles and bows. “Confident” by Demi Lovato hits over the PA System getting a pop from the fans as Tolson walks out through the curtains with the Chaos Championship locked around her waist.}
Beth Harris: And her opponent….she is from Jefferson City, Missouri….the first female graduate of Camp Nightfall...standing five feet six inches tall and weighing in this morning at one-hundred fifty-six pounds….she is the L.A.W. Chaos Champion….”NO GIMMICKS NEEDED” SAMANTHA TOLSON!!!
{Sam makes her way down the ramp towards the ring. Climbing the steps she removes the championship and raises it up as Angelika scoffs from inside the ring.}
Troy Franklin: There is the Chaos Champion, however, this is a non-title match.
Skye Sparks: Go figure.
{Sam steps into the ring and hands her title to the ref, who hands it over to the time keeper. Turning back to the women in the ring he calls for the bell. Angelica taunts Tolson who just shakes her head and jaws at Angelica. Tolson walks up to Angelica and the two continue to trade off insults, until suddenly Tolson catches Angelica with a hard right hand. Vaughn holds her chin and smirks with a nod before returning one of her own. This turns into a fist fight back and forth, until Angelica blocks one of Sam's then hits a swift clothesline.}
Duke King: Nicely done there.
{Sam gets back up, but Angelica locks in a side headlock. Angelica puts in the pressure, but Sam counters with a back suplex. As Vaughn gets back up holding the back of her head she's immedediately driven right back down with a running clothesline by Sam. As Vaughn tries to pick herself back up, Sam hits her with a stiff kick to the gut. Sam makes the cover, but Angelica is quick to kick out. Sam lifts Angelica up and hits a quick snap suplex floating over into another cover, getting a two count before Angelica kicks out.}
Troy Franklin: The Champion, seems to have this well in hand right now.
Skye Sparks: This isn't a title match, that's already been stated.
Troy Franklin: Doesn't mean she isn't the Chaos Champion.
Skye Sparks: She is, but you just said THE Champion... Just saying how it was implied.
Troy Franklin: My mistake then.
{Sam grabs Vaughn and locks in an armbar. The ref asks if Angelica if she's ready to give in, but she refuses. She slides over and gets a foot on the rope, forcing Tolson to break the hold. Tolson waits for Angelica to get up before grabbing her into a Fireman's Carry, but Vaughn rolls off and catches Sam with a School-Girl Pin. The Ref counts but Sam quickly kicks out. Sam shakes it off, not too pleased but she comes at Angelica anyways, only for Angelica to hit a quick armdrag. Sam pops back up and bounces off the ropes, where Angelica hits a quick hip-toss. Angelica springs off the ropes now and hits Sam with a Flying Clothesline. Vaughn makes a quick cover, but Sam is quick to kick out.}
Troy Franklin: Angelica seems to be turning things around, though.
{Angelica stomps at Tolson a couple times before picking her up and whipping her into the ropes. Angelica goes for a clothesline but Tolson ducks. Tolson bounces off the ropes again, but Angelica quickly turns around and catches her with a Roundhouse kick. The crowd pops a little as Angelica makes the cover only for Sam to kick out again.}
Duke King: Nicely done there.
Skye Sparks: For sure. Not enough, though.
{Angelica mounts ontop of Tolson and hits her with several hard shots, getting a scolding from the ref for the closed fist, but how often do the competitors listen to that? Angelica gets up and taunts Tolson to get up. As Tolson slowly makes it back up, Angelica quickly hits her with a side kick. She smirks before backing up again. Bouncing off the ropes she catches Tolson with a Scissors Kick. She makes the cover and gets a very near fall before Tolson rolls the shoulder.}
Troy Franklin: Another near fall for Angelica.
Skye Sparks: Sam might be lucky this is a non-title match.
{Angelica backs up before running forward and hitting the Vaughnemous (Soccer Kick). The crowd pops a bit before Vaughing grabs Tolson into a Rear Naked Choke locking her legs around her waist.}
Troy Franklin: And this would be The Angel's Dream!
Duke King: Not looking good for Tolson here.
Skye Sparks: Yep, like I said, it's a good thing the title isn't on the line.
{Tolson screams and fights through the hold as the ref continues to ask her if she's giving up, which she keeps resisting. She fights through it for awhile before shifting her weight pushing up with her feet and getting Vaughn in a pinning predictament, forcing her to let go of the hold to kick out.}
Troy Franklin: Wisely done there.
{Vaughn wasn't too happy about it, she picked Tolson up and carted her over her shoulders, but Tolson slides off her back then hits a quick inverted DDT. The fans pop as both women lay on the mat, Tolson lays an arm on Vaughn, but she kicks out. They both lay there for a few moments before both making it back to their feet at about the same time. They begin trading shots again. That is until Sam ducks under one of Angelica's, now behind her she grabs Angelica and hits the Nightfall, getting a huge pop from the fans.}
Troy Franklin: Nightfall out of nowhere!
{Sam makes the cover, but Angelica kicks out after a long two count. Sam catches her breath a moment as she waits for Angelica to get up. When she does she quickly grabs her and sends her into the corner. Sam rushes forward and hits a clothesline. She follows this up with systematic legt and right kicks, a breakdown she calls Nihon e no ōdo or Ode to Japan. As Vaughn tries to get back up, Sam grabs her and quickly hits the Victory Drop Alpha.}
Troy Franklin: There it is!
Skye Sparks: Well, what do you know?
{The crowd pops as Tolson makes the cover... and secures the three count!}
Beth Harris: Here is your winner... The Chaos Champion... SAMANTHA TOLSON!!!
{“Confident” by Demi Lovato hits over the PA System again as the referee retrieves the championship from the time keeper and hands it to Sam, who raises it up.}
Duke King: Big victory tonight for the Chaos Champion.
Troy Franklin: Love her or hate her, great victory there.
Skye Sparks: Sure.
{Sam rolls out of the ring and backs up the ramp raising her title up again as Vaughn sits up and looks at her in disbelief.}
{After the brutal match has concluded, Samantha Tolson rolls out of the ring and gathers up her Chaos Championship from the timekeeper’s area. Her frustrated expression and heavy breathing betray the fact that she’s been to war yet again, and that the life of a high profile champion is a lot harder than it looks to the outside world, regardless of the confident demeanor all athletes put forward.
She’s beaten, bruised, exhausted, but still champion… and a slight smile crosses her face as she looks down on the belt in her hand and begins to head for the back.
Which is precisely when she is sent flying onto the concrete ground by a clubbing forearm to the back of her head.}
Troy Franklin: That’s new LAW signee and Angelica’s “Cool Kid” teammate Roxy Cotton! We saw her in action earlier tonight in her triumphant debut!
Duke King: She told Sam to watch her back! This is what happens when warnings are ignored Troy!
Troy Franklin: Roxy made it known she came to LAW for that Chaos Title, but this is uncalled for!
{Outside the ring, Roxy has straddled Tolson’s back, pummeling her about the head and neck with more forearm strikes. Referees and officials try to intervene and pull her away, and they successfully do so after a moment of struggle.
Roxy turns away for a brief second to shout into a security member’s face, and when she does Sam Tolson exacts some revenge, grabbing her from behind and tossing her into the ring apron! Roxy’s back hits the ring and her face contorts in pain as she slinks toward a corner, leaning against the ring steps for support.
Tolson is incensed with anger, and she follows Roxy in and lands a few sharp jabs to the Blonde Bombshell’s midsection, causing her to double over. Tolson then takes a steep back and swings a crescent kick at the Cool Kid… but she misses!}
Troy Franklin: Roxy got out of the way! Tolson just hit the ring post with her injured knee! The Chaos Champion is down and in agony!
{Roxy smells blood in the water and goes to work on Tolson’s leg, grabbing her ankle and whipping the hurt limb into the steps, then stomping it down into the concrete viciously. Her eyes light up when she sees a folding chair nearby, and she rushes over and grabs it, returning to where referees are trying to tend to the clearly injured Chaos Champion.}
Duke King: This girl knows how to make a statement!
{Roxy shoves the referee away, then brings the chair down across Tolson’s leg with a loud crack! She follows it up with another strike, and another, each one bringing a cry of pain from Tolson. Finally, Roxy looks at the bent chair in her hand and grins… then opens the seat and slides Samantha Tolson’s leg into it!}
Troy Franklin: What’s she doing? Is she crazy? Somebody stop this woman before Sam Tolson gets hurt!
{Roxy slips Tolson’s leg into the chair up to the damaged knee, and then climbs up onto the ring apron. She blows kisses to the crowd and wipes away a drop of blood from where Tolson’s precise punching split her lip. Then, she looks down at where Tolson lies writhing on the floor… and leaps down, stomping on the chair back, contorting Tolson’s leg in the apparatus in an obscene angle!}
Troy Franklin: Sam Tolson’s leg might be broken Duke! She could have damaged ligaments! This isn’t right!
Duke King: Like I said Troy… sometimes you just have to make a statement! I don’t think Roxy or the rest of the Cool Kids will be taken lightly after tonight!
{Roxy Cotton chuckles and looks down at where Tolson is on the floor, clutching her knee close to her chest and squinting and grimacing in pain. She crouches down next to the fallen champion and grabs the Chaos Title belt from off of the floor, holding it in her hands and looking down with a hypnotized expression on her face. The gold faceplate is streaked with Sam Tolson’s blood, and Roxy smiles as she stares down at it while the lights reflect from the shining metal.
Then, Roxy reaches her fingers into her mouth and pulls out the wadded gum she’d been chewing, stretching it out around her fingertip and wadding it into a ball before jamming it into Sam Tolson’s hair, grinding it in deep to the roots. Roxy stands up and drops the belt on Tolson as she struts away, leaving the area for the refs and medics to tend to Sam Tolson.}
{“Going Under” by Evanescence begins to play as Karyn Jekyll leads Jessika out. Jessika initially seems shy and withdrawn, but the sight of the crowd fascinates her and she seems to come alive with excitement. Jessika skips to the ring with a frightening grin on her face as Karyn is forced to run behind her to keep up. Once inside the ring, Karyn corrals her sister into the corner to calm her down before the start of the match.
It doesn't take long after ''Play With Me'' starts that Katie comes skipping out of the back full of smiles, sunshine, and a butt ton of energy. She displays this energy by skipping her way down to the ring where she stops and hops around waving wildly to the crowd before hopping toward the ring and sliding in. Once in she's quick to her feet where she again starts bouncing off her heels waving to the crowd. Eventually she calms down enough to draw her hair back as she continues smiling waiting for her song to end off.}
Troy Franklin: This...should be an interesting affair.
Duke King: Notice you aren't even calling it a match.
Troy Franklin: Because I doubt we'll see a single wrestling move during this encounter.
Skye Sparks: Can you blame them? This isn't about either woman trying to prove their superiority with skill, it's just to pound the other one into submission.
{The bell sounds and the two vacate the ring quickly already flipping up the skirting to pull out as many weapons as they can as fast as they can.}
Duke King: Certainly didn't take them long to go for weapons.
Troy Franklin: Like I mentioned, this isn't going to be your standard wrestling match. Wait, where's Jessika?
{He asks the question as Katie continues to pull things out. Chairs, garbage cans, canes, an arm. Katie pauses on the last one when Jessika lunges out at Katie grabbing hold of her neck slamming her down hard on the mats where she begins choking her!}
Skye Sparks: She was coming down to surprise Katie. Guess there are still a few bats left in her belfry.
Duke King: Maybe not too many.
{Jessika grabs a trashcan lid and repeatedly bashes the top of Katie's head with it until Katie can no longer block the shots. Jessika gives a few more for good measure then tosses the lid frisbee style into the crowd before grabbing hold of Katie's hair. She jerks the Naughty Girl right up to her feet but Katie has no strength to stand on her own and therefore collapses back down. Now Miss. Hyde stands over Katie screaming at her to get up.}
Troy Franklin: Does she not realize she just did that to Katie?
Skye Sparks: The girl listens to bees, I doubt she even knows what she's doing right now.
{Katie manages to stir some bringing a smile to Jessika's twisted face as she grabs hold of Katie's hair and rolls her back into the ring before yanking her back out letting her drop to the mats before dropping both knees into her chest. Jessika remains down there like that as she plants her hands down on the mats as well and pretends to nuzzle her cheek into a pair of imaginary boots worn by her Mistress.}
Duke King: Does she really think Katalina's down here for this?
{After kissing where the toes would be, Jessika comes back up to her feet grabbing hold of Katie's top and rests her up against the apron before running a knee into her gut pulling her down so the Naughty Girl is resting over her lap. Jessika flips up Katie's skirt and proceeds to spank the former tag champion four, five times making her kick and scream. She then smiles at the crowd as she grabs hold of Katie's panties looking to pull them down as well but Klein manages to wriggle herself free catching Jessika across the temple with the point of her elbow.}
Troy Franklin: That was close.
Duke King: Yeah, think we would've lost a few sponsors right there.
{Jessika staggers back resting a hand aside her head looking none too pleased about her fun being stopped and makes it known with a shriek looking to kick out Katie's head. Katie manages to grab the bottom of Jessika's boot and pushes her onto her back before standing up still holding her foot. Katie lines up Jessika's leg with her own and rests the foot under her pit before making certain they make eye contact. Once they do, Katie jerks herself to the side twisting Jessika's leg as Hyde screams out in agony!}
Troy Franklin: Katie's on top of things now.
Skye Sparks: Katie said her goal was to make Jessika see her place if she was going to keep with Kat.
{Katie rolls Jessika back inside the ring following up with a cane that she plants down over Hyde's throat. Katie then straddles herself over Jessika's bust and places one knee against the cane and then the other pushing the wooden material hard against Hyde's windpipe. As Jessika begins kicking out her feet, Katie starts screaming about her over her place until resting her hands down on the canvas and jumping landing back over the cane cracking it across Jessika's throat.}
Troy Franklin: Oh my God!
Duke King: Are these two trying to kill each other?
{Katie doesn't go for a cover. Instead she flips Jessika over onto her front and comes around staggering a little from her earlier shots with the garbage can lid. Katie slides her foot underneath Jessika's face making certain the toe of her boot is in line with Jessika's lips.}
Skye Sparks: She's looking for Kat's Hold and Release! This is definitely going to tell Jessika where she stands.
{Katie is moments from stamping down on the back of Jessika's head when Hyde comes to life grabbing hold of Katie's shin and begins to bite into her ankle. Katie falls back screaming as she starts kicking at Jessika's face repeatedly finally getting her off. She then backs her way into a corner checking on her ankle as Jessika rises to her hands and knees and begins crawling at a slow pace watching her fellow collared while licking the blood from her lips. Katie furrows her brow and the two lunge at one another and begin rolling about clawing and scratching, gouging and kicking all across the ring.}
Troy Franklin: Cat fight! CAT FIGHT!!!
{When all is said and done, Katie backs from the fight first into a corner as Jessika smirks looking none too well herself. That is until she notices Katie waving something about, a copper K insignia. Jessika comes to her knees and quickly feels around her collar feeling nothing. She growls at Katie with deep animalistic hatred only to make Katie swiftly regret the decision and leave the ring as Jessika gives chase tackling her down by the entrance area. Claws on, Jessika mounts Katie and starts slashing at her face with rights and lefts as the Naughty Girl tries her best to put up a decent defense.}
Duke King: Jessika's lost it!
Skye Sparks: Because she holds that insignia closer to her heart than perhaps anything.
{In a desperate attempt to get Jessika away, Katie ditches the insignia away prompting Jessika to give chase toward it. Once she has it, she polishes it off her top and works to try pinning it back in place. That's when she's kicked in the back of the head by Katie who grabs hold of her hair and runs her back into the ring. Katie follows in after her as Jessika swings wide catching Katie across the jaw dazing her.}
Troy Franklin: What a shot!
Skye Sparks: What a shot with her insignia.
{Jessika pins it back to her collar and turns Katie around for a Cruel Twist for the pinfall victory. Jessika comes up to her knees as “Going Under” reprises.}
Beth Harris: Here is your winner via pinfall...Jessika Hyde!!!
Troy Franklin: Congrats to Jessika and—oh! Look out!
{As the ref tries to raise Jessika's arm, she pulls it away and snaps at the referee startling him back against the ropes. Jessika then goes down beside Katie stroking her hair whispering into her hear a few single syllable words before grinning.}
Duke King: Did...she just buzz into Katie's ear?
{Jessika strokes Katie's hair a couple more times then smashes her face twice off the canvas before pulling her out and begins walking her up the ramp joyfully telling her how it's playtime.}
Duke King: Wait, she isn't taking her into Katie's room, is she? The one Katie wanted to take Jessika to?
Troy Franklin: I believe she is.
Skye Sparks: Have fun, you two!
Troy Franklin: What a show it’s been so far guys!
Duke King: You ain’t kiddin’, Troy. And we are far from over.
Skye Sparks: Let’s head to the ring where Beth Harris is ready to announce the next match.
{The camera cuts to the ring where LAW ring announcer, Beth Harris is standing the centre with a microphone in hand and a smile on her face. Raising it up to her lips, she opens her mouth ready to begin when suddenly, the lights in the arena begin to flicker as smoke pours out from under the ring and on the ramp way and stage.}
Troy Franklin: What on Earth is going on?
Duke King: Your guess is as good as mine, Troy.
Skye Sparks: This is weird, guys…
{As the confusion from fans and LAW employees continue to grow, all of a sudden, a maniacal laugh echoes through the arena and the titantron flickers to life showing the roof of the MGM Grand Garden Arena, an oil drum with a fire burning inside of it as a woman with long dark brown scraggly hair dressed in a pair of black leather boots, a pair of black skin tight denim jeans, a plain black tank top, a black leather sleeveless hooded jacket with the hood up, a black and white face mask covering the bottom half of her face and a pair of black Aviators walks into view behind the drum.}
Troy Franklin: Who in the world is that?
Duke King: I think I know exactly who she is.
Skye Sparks: Me too, and I think if you were to ask both Stacy Jones and Zoey Madigan-Star, they’d be able to tell you who it is.
{The woman removes her glasses and pulls down the face mask to reveal her face and she glares into the camera, a sick and twisted grin on her face as she pulls at her hair before beginning to pace back and forth behind the drum.}
Mysterious Woman: All wrestling companies are the same…full of fakes, frauds, liars and cowards!
{She continues pacing, chuckling as she looks up into the night sky.}
Mysterious Woman: And LAW is no different! You have fakes such as Roxy Cotton, Christina Millar and The Sugay Sisters who believe they are the greatest looking specimens that ever existed on this planet! Who parade around in skimpy clothes to get attention because the only thing they’re good for is to show off their ‘impressive’ assets!
{Shaking her head, she doesn’t stop pacing back and forth.}
Mysterious Woman: You have frauds such as Zoey Madigan-Star, Karyn Jekyll and Jessica Hyde who constantly pretend to be something they’re not! Whether it is a sorceress or some Frankenstein rip-off!
{Taking hold of her jacket, she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath in before slowly exhaling and opening her eyes again.}
Mysterious Woman: You have liars such as Stacy Jones, Farrah Cornett and Abby Addiction who attempt to live their lives as if everything is sunshine and rainbows! But in reality, one is guilty of trying to incarcerate an innocent woman for a murder she didn’t commit, another pretends that she’s okay with her tag team partner being the one with the most attention on her all the time and the third one, pretends she’s cured from the poison that once used to infect her body!
{She turns her full focus to the camera now.}
Mysterious Woman: And you have cowards such as Sarah Selena Lacklan, Kenzi Grey and La Estrella who hide all the time! Whether it is through never admitting when they’re in the wrong or hiding behind a mask!
{Once again, she runs her hands through her hair and pulls at it.}
Mysterious Woman: It’s time that LAW finally had someone who they can trust working here…someone who always tells the truth…someone who doesn’t try and force you people to love them due to false promises! That person has finally arrived…and that person…is me!
{She lets out another maniacal laugh.}
Mysterious Woman: I have come here to LAW to tell you all the truth! I am here to tell you that there is no such thing as Heaven and Hell, God and Satan, heroes and villains…no! Those things are all concepts created by society so they can control you! They tried to control me too…when they locked me up inside the institution and they pumped me full of drugs to keep me ‘sane’…
{Chuckling again, she points to herself.}
Mysterious Woman: But now, I’m free…I’m free from societies grasp! And I can help you do the same!
{She now outstretches her arms, smiling and glaring into the camera.}
Mysterious Woman: Follow me…and I will show you all the truth! Stand against me…and you…will…BURN!
{Letting out one final maniacal laugh, the camera suddenly cuts off and the lights in the arena go back to normal, leaving everyone dumbfounded over what just happened.}
Beth Harris: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest, is a semi finals match in the Queen of the Ring tournament!
{"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 defeated Abby Addiction in the first round, but her back has to be in bad shape.
Duke King: Abby put a hurting on Gabby, and it's not going to get any easier, but she's facing someone who can't stand her, and the feeling is mutual.
Skye Sparks: But you have to wonder what state of mind Kenzi is in right now.
Duke King: She's got to be devastated.
{“Gimme Your Applause” by Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, & Christina Aguilera begins to play as lightbulbs flash all through the arena. Kenzi Grey walks out, a somber look on her face. She walks slowly down the aisle and slides into the ring, taking the microphone from Beth Harris.}
Kenzi: I... I just want a chance to explain things.
{Boos.}
Kenzi: Beloved... I want you to know that I didn't mean for this to happen. I didn't want this to go this way. And I am so very, very sorry.
{Boos.}
Kenzi: To make it up to you, I'm going to win this match. I dedicate it, to you. And I love you with all of me!
{More boos as Kenzi turns to Gabby, who is chuckling in the corner.}
Kenzi: What are you laughing at?! Huh?! You think this is funny?!
{Gabby simply nods and continues to laugh.}
Kenzi: Ohhh... this is going to be so sweet when I kick your fat ass! Ring the bell!
{The bell sounds as Gabby still has a smirk on her face. Kenzi slowly walks in the circle, while Gabby seems eager to mix it up. Kenzi stops, and feigns going for a lock up and attacks with a forearm. She continues, driving a stunned Gabby back into the corner, Gabby starts fighting back, pounding away with heavier blows that knock Kenzi back. Undaunted, Kenzi goes right back in, only to catch a short knee, and a couple of rights from Gabby, who then flings over backwards, overpowering her. Gabby moves in, hitting a forearm and a boot, driving Kenzi back into the corner and then driving shoulders into Kenzi’s ribs. After two, she whips Kenzi across to the opposite corner and charges, but Kenzi gets a knee up. Gabby stumbles back and it’s more forearms from Kenzi. Kenzi backs Gabby into the corner again, but Gabby again shoves Kenzi away with her strength. Kenzi comes right back up and goes right back in, but Gabby hits a back elbow. Gabby then backs Kenzi against the ropes, Irish whipping her into the ropes. Gabby ducks down for a backdrop, but Kenzi stops short and kicks Gabby in the chest. Gabby straighten up as Kenzi hits the ropes and charges, but Gabby lifts Kenzi high into the air and lets her go, and Kenzi splats chest-first on the mat. Gabby clutches at her back for a moment, and then pulls Kenzi up by the hair and tosses her face-first into the top turnbuckle. Kenzi stumbles back and Gabby whips her in and catches her with a reverse elbow. Kenzi goes down and Gabby covers.
1…
2 Kenzi kicks out.}
Troy Franklin: Kenzi is super agressive thus far!
Duke King: She's got to be, Gabby thus far is weathering the storm.
{Gabby stands, pulling Kenzi up and tossing her into the corner, following her in with a hard clothesline. Kenzi slumps down but Gabby quickly whips her across the other corner and hits another clothesline, sandwiching Kenzi in the corner. Gabby then begins driving elbows into Kenzi in the corner. Gabby tries to whip Kenzi across a third time, but Kenzi just collapses and begins holding her knee.}
Troy Franklin: And Kenzi is down.
Duke King: She may be seriously injured!
Skye Sparks: Or she's faking it.
{Kenzi rolls towards the ropes, still holding her knee and telling the referee about it. Gabby is not amused by this and moves in, but the ref moves her away. Kenzi eventually rolls to the outside, limping around keeping the official at arm’s reach. Gabby yells for the official to either count Kenzi out, or stop the match. Kenzi glares at Gabby and motions she’s going to continue and rolls back into the ring Gabby is right there and drives Kenzi into the corner and begins driving shoulders into Kenzi’s ribs again. Gabby then whips a limping Kenzi across to the other corner as hard and with as much force as possible. Kenzi smacks the corner back-first and face-plants onto the canvas. Gabby stands, pulling Kenzi up and whipping her into the ropes. Kenzi hangs on to the ropes, and when Gabby charges, Kenzi low bridges her and Gabby goes sprawling over the top rope to the floor! Gabby begins holding her knee now.}
Troy Franklin: Now Gabby is holding her knee!
Skye Sparks: I don't think Gabby bought Kenzi's injury for one second, but now is Gabby faking?
{Gabby is able to pull herself up and slide back into the ring. Kenzi looks confused thinking Gabby may be faking it and mocking her, so she starts using her good leg to kick the bad one on Gabby. Kenzi then hits the ropes and chop blocks the leg of Gabby, causing her more pain. Kenzi smirks as she now, standing, showing no signs of a hurt leg, begins stomping and kicking at Gabby’s leg and knee, and then leg barring her on the canvas. Gabby fights to get out of the hold, as Kenzi continually calls for the referee to ring the bell. Kenzi switches the hold, planting her knee inside of Gabby’s knee and wrenching that way, but Gabby uses her free leg to kick Kenzi in the face, breaking the hold. Gabby tried to crawl to the ropes to get back up, but Kenzi is right back over, kicking and stomping on the injured leg.}
Duke King: Well, if Gabby's leg wasn't hurt before, it is now!
Skye Sparks: And Kenzi's leg seems to have made a full recovery.
{Kenzi keeps up the attack, but when she goes for another leg lock, Gabby kicks her away, sending her out of the ring. Gabby slowly gets back to her feet, hobbling towards the outside to get to Kenzi. Kenzi trips her up and tries to pull her outside, but Gabby kicks her away again, this time sending Kenzi into the barricade! Gabby uses the ropes to get up, still hobbling. Kenzi slides back into the ring, and charges Gabby who counters, lifting Kenzi and taking her down with a Samoan drop!}
Troy Franklin: And Gabby counters!
Skye Sparks: But she is still in bad shape.
{Gabby still clutches at her leg as she tries to get up. Kenzi actually manages to get to her feet first and uses more kicks to weaken the leg of Gabby. Kenzi hits the ropes again, but Gabby counters again with a spinebuster! Gabby slowly is able to get back to her feet, motioning for Kenzi to bring it to her. Kenzi then from her knees delivers a forearm to the weakened leg of Gabby, causing her great pain, before getting a single leg takedown and turning Gabby over into a single leg boston crab!}
Troy Franklin: And there's a single leg crab!
Duke King: That's gonna kill Gabby's back and leg!
Skye Sparks: Obviously, Kenzi is more focused than ever before!
{Gabby yells in pain, but refuses to tap out. Gabby begins crawling towards the ropes, inching ever so close to the spot, but when she reaches out, Kenzi pulls her back to the center of the ring. She wrenches on the hold, screaming at Gabby to give up. Gabby does not do so however, and begins using just raw strength to pull herself towards the ropes. Gabby inches closer and closer, and finally reaches out and grabs the bottom rope, forcing the break. Kenzi refuses to let go, the official counts to 4 before she finally releases. She gives the official static about this as Gabby tries to get up.}
Troy Franklin: This is actually a really sound strategy right now by Kenzi.
Duke King: Don't act surprised Troy!
{Gabby finally makes it up where Kenzi kicks her bad leg again. Gabby pushes her away, and motions for her to attack. Kenzi hits another kick and again Gabby pushes her away. Gabby lunges for a punch but Kenzi ducks and hits another chop block! Kenzi stands up, looking down at Gabby and pumping herself up as she’s in control. She sees Gabby getting up and prepares for the Walk of Fame [Curb Stomp] but Gabby counters, launching Kenzi into the air! Kenzi lands on her feet, swings wildly and then gets LAUNCHED by a Gabby German suplex!}
Troy Franklin: How strong is Gabby? Jeez!
Skye Sparks: But how dumb is she, she may have taken everything out of herself on that!
{Gabby rolls around clutching her knee and back now, in a tremendous amount of pain. Both women are still down when Sarah Lacklan parts the curtain and somberly makes her way towards the ring.}
Duke King: Uh oh...
Troy Franklin: Sarah is out here now... and that can't be good.
{Kenzi is able to recover and stands before Sarah catches her attention. Sarah says nothing, she just stares at Kenzi. Kenzi mouths several apologies which Sarah does not react to. Sarah looks more and more disinterested, as Kenzi tries to get her to come closer so they can speak. Sarah ignores Kenzi and turns away, unable to face her. Kenzi steps through the ropes yelling at Sarah to come back. Gabby is now back up, hobbling over to Kenzi and grabs her by the hair, yanking her violently back and pulling out some of her braids!}
Skye Sparks: She's trying to snatch her bloody bald!
Duke King: That is uncalled for!
{With Sarah now out of sight, Gabby pulls Kenzi up, hitting some punches before tossing Kenzi into the corner. Gabby limps forward, trying to run, but Kenzi moves aside and Gabby hits the corner. She drops to a knee and Kenzi gets behind her. Gabby stands and Kenzi runs at her for the Breakout Performance [Codebreaker] but Gabby CATCHES Kenzi in mid-move, and manuvers her onto her shoulders and limps to the center of the ring and connects with the Killzone [TKO] Gabby is barely able to move, but manages to cover!
1….
2…
3!}
Troy Franklin: And Gabby somehow, some way is in the finals!
Duke King: NO! The Lacklan-Grey finals... it's gone!
Skye Sparks: I don't think it was going to end well anyway.
{Gabby rolls off of Kenzi and to a corner, still clutching her knee. The training staff comes out and they pretty much have to assist Gabby from the ring, meanwhile Kenzi in that time is able to roll out of the ring, heading up the ramp in search of Sarah. Gabby is helped to the back by the staff.}
Troy Franklin: You have to wonder what kind of condition Gabby is even going to be in for the finals.
Duke King: You know, Gabby may not even make it to the finals, Kenzi may have eliminated Gabby even without beating her. And if Sarah beats Stacy... she may hand the Queen of the Ring to her!
Skye Sparks: Wow that's... not that far-fetched actually.
Beth Harris: The following contest is the 2nd semi finals match for Queen of the Ring!
{The opening bass line to "I Will Not Break" by A Sound Of Thunder blares out of the PA system and the camera pans around the arena as the fans rise to their feet and cheer wildly.
"And you heard the girls talking...and you thought they were talking about you..."
"Oh no, we can't ask her! She's a creep!"
"Who are they talking about?"
As the song kicks in, the camera cuts to the stage where we see "Unbreakable" Stacy Jones standing there with a large grin on her face. She then begins to make her way down the ramp, slapping the fans hands on the way.}
Beth Harris: Making her way to the ring...from Orlando, Florida by way of New York City, New York...standing in at 5 foot 7 and weighing in at 150 pounds! "Unbreakable"...Stacy...Jones!
{Once she reaches the bottom of the ramp, she turns to her super fan, Elsie and removes her plain black wool hat and places it onto her head before she makes her way over to the ring and hops up onto the apron. Putting her back to the ropes, she takes hold of the top rope with both hands and proceeds to backflip over the ropes and into the ring.
Walking to the centre of the ring, she unzips her leather jacket and then throws up the devils horns with her hands before removing her jacket and handing it to a ringside employee as "I Will Not Break" fades out.}
Troy Franklin: Stacy is one match away from a historic feat.
Duke King: She could be on her way to something special.
Skye Sparks: And one has to wonder about her opponent...
{The lights go out as a red spotlight flashes down on the entrance area. Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata begins to play over the PA system and Sarah walks out, almost like a zombie, unsure of where she's going or why. She somberly walks down the aisle and slides into the ring, standing in the corner and looking out into the distance.}
Troy Franklin: Sarah looks... distraught.
Duke King: And she should be! Her marriage is ruined!
{The bell sounds as Sarah doesn’t seem interested in the match. She does nothing as Stacy looks on, confused as to what to do. Stacy begins to advance and Sarah doesn’t bother to do anything. Then a voice rings out from the pa system.}
Kenzi: Sarah! Beloved!
{Kenzi rushes down the aisle as Sarah stares a hole through her, the rage building up inside. Kenzi looks at her, tears streaming down her face.}
Kenzi: You have to let me explain. You have to understand the problem here.
{Sarah says nothing, ignoring Kenzi and folding her arms.}
Kenzi: Please! Just listen! It was all a big misunderstanding!
{Sarah finally turns back to Kenzi, eyes red with anger as she exits the ring, yelling at Kenzi to leave. The two get into an argument. The shouting match continues as Stacy then exits the ring, spins Sarah around and unloads with a right hand. She following it up with another and then tosses Sarah into the post! Sarah hits hard and goes down as the official ushers Kenzi to the back. Stacy tosses Sarah into the ring as she slides in after her. Stacy unloads with hard shots and backs Sarah into the corner. She tries for the Irish whip, but Sarah reverses. Sarah charges but eats a back elbow and then Stacy connects with the Stacy Kick [Springboard roundhouse kick] out of nowhere!}
Troy Franklin: Stacy Kick!
Duke King: Stacy’s trying to end it early!
{Sarah rolls towards the ropes, and Stacy realizes this and pulls her away from the ropes. Sarah fights and kicks driving Stacy back. Stacy comes back in but gets a few shots into the ribs. Sarah then whips Stacy into the ropes and tries for a backdrop, but Stacy hops over the top of her. Thinking quickly, Sarah connects with a spinning back kick to the ring, and the a dropkick that knocks Stacy against the ropes. Sarah then grabs Stacy’s leg and takes her down. Sarah looks like she’s going for some kind of leg lock, but Stacy kicks her away. Stacy makes it the corner, but Sarah charges and connects with a flying forearm in the corner. Stacy crumples to the mat as Sarah dives into the cover.

Kickout by Stacy.}
Troy Franklin: Stacy is not done yet.
Duke King: But you have to give Lacklan credit, she seems to be focused on this match now.
{Sarah stands, stomping on Stacy on motioning for her to get up. Stacy makes it to a knee before Sarah grabs her by the hair and drives her face-first into the mat. Sarah then hits the ropes, dropping a hard knee across Stacy’s forehead. Sarah covers again.
1…
2..
Kickout by Stacy.}
Skye Sparks: And you see right there the pinpoint accuracy of Lacklan, drove that knee right where she wanted it.
{Sarah stands up stomping on Stacy some more before taunting the crowd. Stacy makes it her knees, but then pops up and hits a kick right in the jaw of Sarah to bring her down. Stacy motions for Sarah to stand and she wobbles up, and Stacy unloads with forearms driving Sarah back into the corner. Stacy goes for the Irish whip, but Sarah reverses. Sarah charges but eats another back elbow. Stacy turns and pulls back on the ropes, perhaps looking for another Stacy kick, but Sarah pushing her off the ropes and Stacy splats on the mat below!}
Troy Franklin: Stacy may have been going for a second Stacy kick, but Sarah saw it coming.
Duke King: It’s what you call going to well once too often.
Skye Sparks: Now Sarah can really take control.
{Sarah exits the ring and pulls Stacy to her feet and tosses her back inside. She makes another cover.
1…
2…
Kickout by Stacy again. Sarah then drives her knee into Stacy’s spine and pulls back in her chin. Stacy yells in pain but refuses to tap out. Sarah screams at her to give up, but Stacy does not. Having a size advantage, Stacy is able to reach out and touch the rope, and the official forces a break. Sarah stands and pulls of Stacy and unleashes a chop. And Stacy instantly answers with a forearm. Sarah repeats the action, same result. Sarah then knees Stacy in the ribs and regains total control. Sarah pushes Stacy back into the corner and chops Stacy again, but Stacy instantly fires back and unloads with right hands, backing Sarah across the ring to the opposite corner. Stacy whips Sarah back to the first corner and charges, but Sarah gets the boot up. Sarah boosts herself onto the second turnbuckle and hooks Stacy’s head, connecting with a Tornado DDT! Sarah crawls into the cover again!

NO! Stacy rolls the shoulder.}
Troy Franklin: Stacy will not stay down!
Skye Sparks: But she’s got to bloody do something offensive soon, she can’t keep taking this punishment.
{Sarah gets up, pulling Stacy to a sitting position and kicks her hard in the back. Sarah loads up and does it again, and Stacy winces in pain. Sarah then measure up Stacy and hits the ropes, looking for the shining wizard, but Stacy ducks out of the way. Sarah comes down hard on her knee and hobbles up, only to be clotheslined. Sarah stumbles up and eats another one. She does a third time and eats a swift boot to the jaw. And sends her flying into the corner. Stacy charges and leaps onto Sarah, holding her head and then monkey flipping Sarah high into the air and onto her back. Stacy then walks to Sarah’s legs and prepares for Your Final Penace, but Sarah manages to kick her away. Sarah gets up as Stacy hits the ropes, but Stacy was not expecting Sarah to be up so quickly and the two hit head to head and both women go down!}
Troy Franklin: And now both women are down!
Duke King: Stacy looked like she had the advantage, but now we’re back to even.
{The crowd chant along with the referee as he counts both women out, when he gets to seven, both women are back up. They begin exchanging punches until Stacy gets the better, and then backs Sarah into the ropes. She whips her in, but Sarah holds on to the ropes. Stacy charges, but Sarah backdrops her over the ropes. Stacy hangs on, and when Sarah turns around, she a nailed by a slingshot spear!}
Troy Franklin: My goodness what a spear!
Duke King: Oh no… That may be it!
Skye Sparks: Is Stacy about to make history?
{Sarah is down and Stacy senses the moment. She drags the near lifeless body of Sarah into position and heads outside. Stacy slowly begins to climb as there is a commotion as Kenzi again hurries down the ramp. She begins pounding on the mat, trying to get Sarah’s attention.}
Troy Franklin: I don’t think Sarah wants to see Kenzi at this point!
Duke King: Kenzi’s trying to lend moral support!
Skye Sparks: She didn’t know she bloody married another person… How would you feel?
{Stacy sees Kenzi as she’s climbing and motions the referee to remove her again. The distraction costs Stacy as Sarah crotches her on the top rope. Sarah begins climbing and attempt to position Stacy for a top rope superplex. Stacy and Sarah begin fighting in this position, and Sarah rakes the eyes of Stacy to get control. She then hooks Stacy, but Stacy grips the top rope to block. Stacy fights back again and headbutts Sarah in the face! Sarah falls like a tree off the top rope and into position. Stacy tries to get her baring back, but then a figure hops the guardrail and walks up the steps pushing Stacy off the ropes!}
Troy Franklin: Hey! Wait a minute! Who is that?!
Skye Sparks: That’s that woman from earlier!
Duke King: She pushed Stacy off the ropes!
{Stacy lands hard, more confused than anything. Stacy tries to collect her wits as the mysterious woman hops the guardrail again, taunting Stacy as Stacy slowly gets up, looking around for whomever attacked her. She sees the women and looks angry. She bellows out various threats at the women who returns them in kind. Sarah meanwhile is back up, and charges Stacy, running her into the corner. Sarah climbs up the ropes pulls back on Stacy’s head and uses the ropes for leverage in delivering the Abyss! Sarah covers hooking both legs for all she’s worth.

Duke King: Lacklan is in the finals! She did it! Whoo!
Skye Sparks: Could you possibly be any more biased?
Troy Franklin: Yes, yes he could. The point is… thanks to that mystery woman, and inadvertently Kenzi… Sarah Lacklan is now in the finals!
Duke King: And! ANNNND! Gabby’s all beat up, and Sarah is relatively healthy. Sarah may become queen right now!
{Sarah rolls off of Stacy with a grin on her face. Kenzi celebrates on the outside until she and Sarah lock eyes. Kenzi backs away from the ring as Sarah continues to stare at her. Sarah slowly rolls out of the ring as Kenzi is back up the ramp still trying to talk to her. Sarah motions for Kenzi to keep walking before making her way to the back.}
Beth Harris: The following contest, is the Boardwalk Brawl for the LAW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP! In this match, there no countouts, no disqualifications, and falls count anywhere in the building!
{As their music plays Kayla and Christy appear on the stage riding custom choppers, they fist pump then ride to the ring with Christy taking the lead, they park at the bottom of the ramp and enter the ring they climb the opposite corners, and cross their arms, they steps down and high five then go to their corner.}
Beth Harris: Introducing First, the challengers, hailing from Los Angeles, California, Kayla and Christy Winters, THE DYNASTY!
Troy Franklin: The Dynasty sent a clear message to the Boardwalk Angels at LAW #66. And now the Angels want some payback.
Duke King: But the Angels may have done them a huge favor in making this a tag team championship match. Christy and Kayla are strong, tough women, and this might be right down their alley!
Skye Sparks: The Dynasty has a chance at glory tonight. We'll see if they can pull it off.
"Stand on the box, stomp your feet, get clapping
Got a real good feeling something bad about to happen"
Got a real good feeling something bad about to happen"
{Moving images of the New Jersey Boardwalk appear on the big screen within a pair of spread wings as the country-rock tune "Somethin' Bad" by Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood starts to play. Cut to shots of Zoey Madigan-Star, Farrah Cornett, Courtney Steele and Crystal Hilton in training and in the ring before the view returns to the stage where the champions stand, dressed in jeans, t-shirts and sneakers, fists taped and elbow pads on.}
"Pulled up to the church but I got so nervous
Had to back it on up, couldn’t make it to the service
Grabbed all the cash underneath my mattress
Got a real good feelin’ something bad about to happen"
Had to back it on up, couldn’t make it to the service
Grabbed all the cash underneath my mattress
Got a real good feelin’ something bad about to happen"
{The two make their way down the aisle, both with serious looks on their face. They unstrap the tag titles from around their respective waists and toss them into the ring before getting in.}
"Ran into a girl in a pretty white dress
Rolled down a window, where you heading to next?
Said I’m heading to the bar with my money out of the mattress
Got a real good feeling something bad about to happen"
Rolled down a window, where you heading to next?

{And as soon as they are in the Dynasty attack them!}
Troy Franklin: And here we go!
{Kayla attacks Farrah and Zoey gets nailed by Christy as the match begins. Zoey eventually fights back and knocks Christy from the ring, as Farrah fires back on Kayla. Farrah hits the ropes and charges Kayla, but Kayla backdrops Farrah over the top rope to the floor!}
Troy Franklin: What strength by Kayla!
Duke King: The Angel just flew.
Skye Sparks: No. Bad Duke.
{Kayla turns and meets Zoey who nails her with right hands, and then a clothesline to take Kayla down. Zoey gets out of the ring and grabs a steel chair! She slides it in, measuring Kayla who gets up. Zoey swings for the fences but Kayla ducks, and kicks Zoey in the ribs. Kayla grabs the chair and whacks Zoey across the back with it!}
Troy Franklin: What a shot!
Skye Sparks: Thus far it looks like the Dynasty are the ones who were ready to fight!
{Kayla smirks as Zoey rolls around arching her back. Christy had been stomping on Farrah on the floor but Kayla tells her to keep on Zoey while she goes to Farrah with the chair still in her hand. Kayla then swings for the fences but Zoey ducks, kicks Kayla in the mid-section and bulldogs her on the floor!}
Troy Franklin: And now the Angels are back in it!
{Christy in the meantime is taking free shots at Zoey on the floor and then whips her into the steel barricade! Christy continues to hammer away as Farrah now slowly walks up the ramp, zeroing in on Kayla. Farrah rallies the crowd as she charges Kayla, who counters with a back drop and Farrah crashes hard on the floor again! Kayla picks up Farrah and tosses her into the ring where Christy is waiting. Christy has also grabbed the timekeepers bell and measures up Farrah and drives it into the back of Farrah as she tries to get up. Kayla now switches over to Zoey, raking her face and trying to literally gouge the bad eye of Zoey out again, and then bites her!}
Duke King: They’re going for the bad eye!
Skye Sparks: It be healed, but that doesn’t mean completely!
{Inside the ring, Christy has removed the turnbuckle pad from the top turnbuckle and is grinding Farrah’s face into it. The result causes the Angel is bleed from the forehead. Christy then whips Farrah into the ropes and drops her with a back elbow. Outside the ring, Zoey is fighting back against Kayla, and rams her into the barricade. She takes several fan drinks, and smashes them against the head of Kayla, even downing a drink herself before clotheslining Kayla into the first row!}
Troy Franklin: And again, we’re going to get interactive!
Duke King: Hopefully we don’t get sued.
{Inside the ring Christy whips Farrah into the corner and charges, but eats a boot. Farrah hops on the second turnbuckle and jumps onto Christy’s shoulders, and then hurricanrana’s her over the top to the floor! Meanwhile, Zoey tosses Kayla back into the ring, trash can lid with her. Zoey slides in, but Kayla attacks her before she can get up. Kayla then grabs the trash can lid and blasts Zoey in the head with it! Zoey goes down and Kayla then reaches through the ropes with the same lid, and hits Farrah on the head as she gets up! Kayla then reaches into her pants pocket, pulling out a pizza cutter!}
Troy Franklin: Oh… wait a minute!
Duke King: It looks like you were right Skye the Dynasty came prepared!
{Kayla walks over to Zoey and starts DRIVING THE PIZZA CUTTER INTO HER FORHEAD AND RAKES IT ACROSS! Zoey screams in pain as Farrah is dropped over the guardrail by Christy on the outside. Inside, Kayla tries to Irish whip the now bloody Zoey across the ring, but Zoey reverses and Kayla goes back-first into the exposed buckle! Zoey then superkicks Kayla and she goes down. Zoey grabs the pizza cutter herself and then plunges it into Kayla’s head, ripping at her flesh and busting her wide open!}
Troy Franklin: And turnabout is fair play!
Skye Sparks: Everything in this match is fair play Troy.
{Meanwhile Christy and Farrah and battling in the crowd, heading further into it as Christy punches away at Farrah’s bloody head. Farrah fights back and kicks Christy, then grabs a fans framed picture of the Boardwalk Angels and SMASHES it over Christy’s head! Christy is now bleeding as a result.}
Troy Franklin: Was that a picture?
Duke King: Not anymore. Looks like Christy got…
Skye Sparks: Don’t.
{Zoey grabs Kayla and the two head into the crowd as well. Kayla and Zoey pound away at each other until Kayla hits some elbows to the ribs of Zoey and then more punches follow to her open her wound more. Kayla then walks away, trying to find where Christy and Farrah are, but Zoey is in hot pursuit. Kayla finds Christy and helps her up, but Zoey nails Kayla from behind, and on the balcony above them, Farrah is perched and waiting and she DIVES onto them!}
Troy Franklin: A HUGE DIVE!
Duke King: The Angels are willing to take all the risks as well!
{All 4 women lay on the ground in pain before Zoey and Christy are up and begin battling back towards the ring. Zoey tosses Christy back over the guardrail and enters, but Christy cuts her off and fights back. Meanwhile, Farrah and Kayla are now back at ringside as well. Christy tries for a clothesline on Zoey, but Zoey ducks, and hits a belly to back suplex on Christy. Kayla scoops up Farrah and slams her to the mat, then begins to climb the ropes in the corner. Zoey in the meantime backs Christy into the opposite corner and starts unloading punches to the head. Kayla wipes the blood from her face, but Farrah quickly cuts her off with a punch to the ribs. She too climbs up with Kayla, standing on the top rope and unloading punches, until both Winters’ grab the Angles and execute stereo sit-out powerbombs!}
Troy Franklin: OH MAN!
Skye Sparks: These two teams are trying to bloody maim each other!
{All four women lay on the mat for a little while before Kayla and Christy are standing. The Angels are slowly getting to their feet and the Winters attack them again. There is a double Irish whip, and both Christy and Kayla go for clotheslines, but they are ducked and Zoey and Farrah hit stereo neckbreakers! Both Angels cover!
1….

The Winters sisters kick out!}
Troy Franklin: They kicked out!
Duke King: That’s what the championship means Troy!
{All four women are still down but the Angels are up first, Zoey goes to the outside, stumbling around and wiping the blood from her face. She is about to reach under the ring, but Kayla is on her and attacks, knocking her over. Farrah in the meantime tries to exit to help but Christy hits her from behind and then hits a belly to back suplex. Kayla now reaches under the ring and pulls out a table!}
Duke King: Uh oh…
Troy Franklin: The Dynasty has toughed this one out, and they may be the tougher team right now. They’re looking to finish this!
Skye Sparks: In style!
{Kayla slides it into Christy who begins setting it up as Kayla tosses Zoey into the ring post. Christy props the table up in the corner and goes over to Farrah and stomps her a few times to keep her down. Kayla enters the ring and signals for the end. Christy pulls up Farrah and holds her in place as Kayla charges, but Farrah pulls Christy in the way and Kayla SPEARS Christy through the table!}
Troy Franklin: A MISCUE!
Duke King: Kayla just speared Christy!
{Kayla slowly pulls herself up, shocked at what she did. She turns and eats a superkick from Farrah, and then, Zoey slides in, and the Angels hit the Over You! [Hi-Low big boot/chop block] Zoey covers!
1….

3!}
Troy Franklin: And it’s over…
Duke King: Mercifully.
Troy Franklin: The Boardwalk Angels, have won the boardwalk brawl!
Skye Sparks: No, they SURVIVED.
{The angels music hits and all four women are still down. Farrah is the first to get up, using the ropes and she collects the tag titles as they are handed to her. All four women are bloody messes and the Angels barely make it out of the ring, having to be helped by the training staff, which pour out of the back led by Gina Zaine. They also tend to the Dynasty as the ring is cleared.}
{Cameras cut backstage to where a stretch limousine is parked in a bay, idling. Roxy Cotton has changed out of her ring gear and into a form fitting minidress, and her five inch stiletto heels click on the cement floor as she heads to the driver waiting to open the rear door of the vehicle. Roxy barely acknowledges the driver as she stares down at the screen of her bedazzled iphone.}
Roxy Cotton: Let’s get out of here, okay? Vegas is full of creeps, I want to get back to Los Angeles as soon as possible…
{A commotion is heard in the distance. Roxy looks up from her cell phone just in time to see a fuming Sam Tolson charging toward her, favoring a knee that’s wrapped tight with athletic tape and ice. Tolson is being followed my trainers and medical staff, but all of them are failing to prevent her from continuing to march forward, injury or not.}
Roxy Cotton: Open the door! Open the door what are you waiting for!?
{The driver quickly opens the rear door of the limo and Roxy jumps in, pulling it shut behind her. Tolson gets to the limo just as the driver himself gets behind the wheel and slams his door shut, and she tries in vain to rip the door handle open, finding it locked tight. Sam Tolson starts slamming her Chaos Title against the window of the limousine, shouting incoherent threats while she assaults the vehicle. The trainers manage to pull her an inch or two away as the limo starts to lurch forward, but as it stops at the cross street area of the exit, Tolson frees herself and grabs a nearby metal pole from a group of them leaning against a production box, and she hurls it like a javelin toward the rear of the limousine, shattering the rear windshield in a huge explosion of broken glass. From inside the broken window, Roxy Cotton looks back at the angry Sam Tolson with an expression of shock and fear.}
Roxy Cotton: Drive! Drive already, Jesus Christ!
{The limo’s tires squeal and horns blare as it cuts off incoming traffic, turning out into the busy street and laving the area.}
Troy Franklin: Well this has been the moment we have been waiting for. After the events of what went down at our last Pay Per View with Crystal getting injured tonight Mrs. Millar will get her rematch.
Duke King: Amirai and Crystal have been at each other’s throats and tonight it all comes to a head. This will be Crystal’s fifth time at competing for the Marquee title and if she doesn’t get the job done tonight I don’t know what she is going to do with herself.
Skye Sparks: Retire… She was the Queen of the Ring last year. If she fails she might as well consider herself washed up. It was two years ago when I personally sent her packing from the Queen of the Ring.
Troy Franklin: And we can’t forget that Amirai has been a good champion despite Crystal her she really hasn’t faced anyone. It all comes to a head tonight!
Beth Harris: Ladies and gentlemen the following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the LAW Marquee Championship! Introducing first the challenger hailing from Detroit Michigan being accompanied by Zelda Knite she is the Silver Screen Queen Crystal Millar!
{The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.

THE SILVER SCREEN QUEEN IS HERE!!!!
I’m Coming Out by Diana Ross begins to blast all across the speakers and as that happens we are able to see Christina Millar emerging through the backstage curtain and the roaring cheers of the crowd are deafening. She isn’t alone as her best friend Zelda Knite comes out beside her. Crystal smiles as her grouping of paparazzi gather up in front of the ring and they snag photo after of the Latina beauty. She walks down the ramp as she begins to clap the outstretched hands of the fans.
Her following of paparazzi meet her as does a red carpet. She takes in appeal of the cameras smiling as flashes begin to go off one after another. She then runs up the steps where she walks towards the middle of the apron. She blows kisses out to the crowd before she drops into a split entering the ring. The crowd begins to go nuts and she waits patiently for the match to begin. Zelda Knite claps for her best friend as Crystal nods at her in return and awaits her opponent.}
Beth Harris: And her opponent from Atlantic City, New Jersey. She is the LAW Marquee Champion Amirai Reilley!!!
{Lights in blue bathe the crowd, interspersed with white flashes as chanting fills the air and feminine silhouettes dance gracefully, ominously in the flashes of light to the opening strains of ‘Silence’ by Delirium featuring Sarah McLachlan.
Amid the dancing shadows and flashes of light, a petite figure stands in the entranceway drawing mixed reaction from those still unsure what to make of her. Amirai sweeps her full length jacket to one side theatrically as she finally makes her way towards the ring staying central to the ramp and out of range of waving hands.
Straining vocals prelude Amirai sliding beneath the bottom rope and her casual saunter leads her across the canvas and to the furthest corner where she scales up to the second turnbuckle, gazing out across the crowd without much further flourish than another sweeping motion of the bottom of her jacket.
She raises her title high into the air and receives some boos in return. Crystal keeps her eyes on it as Amirai hands it to the referee. The referee looks at the title before he holds it high into the air. Crystal never loses sight of it before he brings it back down and hands it to the time keeper. The bell sounds loudly as the match is officially underway.}
Troy Franklin: And finally we have ourselves a match the rematch from last pay per view.
Duke King: Let’s go Crystal this is your moment!
Skye Sparks: Solitaire has other plans in mind though!
{Crystal emerges from the corner as she looks at Amirai. She extends a hand out but instead Amirai is violent as she lifts her leg up and shoves it right against Crystal’s knee. Crystal screams loudly as she falls to the ground and immediately reaches for her knee in pain. She’s pounding at the mat in frustration as the referee checks her over.}
Troy Franklin: Solitaire has focused on Crystal’s hurt knee and Crystal seems to be in pain.
Skye Sparks: Are we sure she isn’t gold bricking?!
Duke King: I think she is really hurt guys.
{The referee checks over Crystal as she is clutching her knee in serious pain. He looks at the entrance ramp as he starts waving. Referees immediately run down the ring as the main one exchanges words with them. They keep Solitaire at bay as the referee slides out of the ring and exchanges words with the time keeper. Beth Harris nods her head as she raises a microphone to her lips as Amirai slides outside and looks at her.}
Beth Harris: Ladies and gentlemen the referee has ruled that due to injury Crystal Millar cannot compete therefore…
{Amirai snatches the microphone away as she yells into it.}
Amirai: It’s not ending like this. She demanded a rematch badly so she is going to get what she wanted.
{Amirai throws the microphone down as she slides into the ring. She pushes some referees aside as she slides back out of the ring. She grabs Crystal by the legs and shoves her right against the turnpost. Crystal screams in pain as Amirai grabs the hurt knee and repeatedly shoves it against the turnpost over and over. Crystal screams louder and louder as she pounds at the mat in frustration. She isn’t done yet as she places Crystal into a figure four against the corner post. Crystal has tears of pain as the referee counts trying to get Amirai off of the challenger.}
Troy Franklin: This is not right! The referee was ready to call the match until Amirai got involved.
Skye Sparks: She is looking to permenantly end Crystal’s career tonight and has no qualms about doing so.
Duke King: Troy you might be right. Enough is enough.
{Amirai slides back in the ring as she begins to stomp away at Crystal’s right knee. Crystal screams with each stomp. She lifts Crystal’s right leg up and places it on the bottom turnbuckle. Without hesitation she leaps up and drives a very vicious boot down against that leg. Crystal pounds away some more as Amirai drags Crystal away from the ropes. She smiles evilly at the crowd as she positions Crystal for an ankle lock. She tries to turn Crystal over but the Latina fights back as she pushes Amirai away from her.
CRYSTAL!
CRYSTAL!
CRYSTAL!}
Troy Franklin: Crystal is showing life and this crowd is now behind her!
Duke King: She did say she would rather get injured than to have this shot lost due to her body.
Skye Sparks: She’s stupid! Amirai needs to put her away!
{Crystal makes it to her feet and she is begging for Amirai to come at her. Amirai does exactly just that as she runs at Crystal with a clothesline. Crystal ducks as Amirai stops short after missing. She turns around as she walks right into a Flashing Lights kick! The crowd goes nuts as Crystal grabs at her knee in pain but crawls to the turnbuckle to pull herself up. She looks at the corner as the fans are cheering her on and slowly ascends to the top of the ropes.}
Troy Franklin: Amirai is down and out! Crystal has thoughts of her LCA! If she hits it this will all be over!
Skye Sparks: Key word is if!
Duke King: She’s almost there!
{Crystal finally makes it to the top. She points to the lights makes a camera motion and without hesitation she tries to jump backwards but her knee buckles as she falls to the ground. Amirai gets back up as she walks over to Crystal with a grin. She goes for her Gogoplata but Crystal quickly scoops her up into a very tight small package. The referee drops down for a count. 1…….2…… Amirai is able to get up}
Troy Franklin: So close! We almost had a new champion with that roll up!
Duke King: She just needed a little longer!
Skye Sparks: Too bad so sad hurt that knee!
{Crystal pulls herself back up as she limps a bit. Meanwhile Amirai is already on her feet. She tries to clip at Crystal’s knee but the Latina side steps it. Crystal’s grabs Amirai as she looks for That’s A Wrap! She flips over Amirai but Reilley moves out of the way as Crystal lands on her knee. She clutches it in pain as the referee looks things over again. Amirai smiles as she locks her legs with Crystal’s and places her into a figure four kneebar. Crystal is screaming loudly as the referee leans in and asks if she wants to give up but Crystal screams no as she shakes her head over and over again.}
Troy Franklin: Crystal is giving it everything she has. She has nothing to be ashamed of but perhaps she should give up to not risk injury.
Duke King: Keep fighting Crystal don’t give up!
Skye Sparks: Crystal’s alright but Amirai is just a bit better and it’s only a matter of time before Crystal gives up.
{Crystal uses her upper body to move. She crawls and crawls. She is just a mere few inches away from the ropes and without hesitation she lunges out and is able to grab the ropes in her hands. The referee calls for the break but Amirai keeps on holding until the count of 4. Finally she gives the break as she begins to talk some trash to the fans as they boo her in return. Amirai looks down at Crystal as she begins to signal to the crowd for her Blood Diamond finisher.}
Troy Franklin: Looks like she has plans to finish Crystal off with her ddt.
Duke King: If she nails it, this match is all over.
Skye Sparks: Fifth time will not be the charm for Crystal.
{She places Crystal underneath an arm. She taunts the crowd and before she can do anything Crystal shocks her and the rest of the crowd by throwing Amirai right onto her back. Crystal is still holding the legs as she looks at the crowd who are cheering her on. She twists Amirai over as she places her into her Withering Rose. (Elevated Boston Crab) Crystal however bends all the way back as far as she can go as Amirai is the one who is in pain now.}
Troy Franklin: Out of desperation Crystal has the Withering Rose locked right in the center of the ring and Amirai has nowhere to go!
Duke King: Look how far that back is being bent this could be all over!
Skye Sparks: There’s no way!
{Crystal keeps bending and bending until Amirai’s body is arched in an awkward position and far up. Reilley searches for the ropes but they are nowhere in sight. After searching and finding out she has nowhere to go. She holds her arm up but pulls it back quickly. Crystal applies even more pressure and when she does that is when Amirai is tapping on the mat. The referee quickly calls for the bell as the entire crowd begins to go crazy. Crystal breaks the hold as Zelda Knite slides into the ring as the referee is handed the Marquee title from the timekeeper.}
Beth Harris: Ladies and gentlemen your winner by submission and NEW LAW MARQUEE CHAMPION…. CRYSTAL MILLAR!!!
{Crystal grabs her knee in pain as the referee bends down and holds her arm up. He hands her the Marquee title and she clutches it tightly as she keeps her head down for a while. The crowd gives Crystal a standing ovation as Crystal hugs the title. She has tears flowing from her eyes as she can’t believe it. Zelda helps her friend up to her feet as Crystal limps before falling back to the ground. Zelda gives her a long passionate hug and that is when Zoey Madigan and Farrah Cornett rush down to the ring with their tag straps around their waists. They slide into the ring and help Crystal up giving her a hug. They pick up their fallen angel and each place her onto a shoulder. Crystal looks at her title before she raises it high into the air to the delight of the crowd.}
Duke King: Crystal Millar is not washed up! Through everything she found a way to win tonight!.
Troy Franklin: After being denied four times, the fifth time is certainly the charm. Now her journey as a singles champion officially begins!
Skye Sparks: Congrats!
{The crowd continues to cheer Crystal on as she kisses her belt proudly and raises it high. It’s on this image that we fade to elsewhere.}
Beth Harris: Ladies and Gentlmen, the following contest is the Queen of the Ring finals!
{The lights go out as a red spotlight flashes down on the entrance area. Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata begins to play over the PA system and Sarah walks out this time looking more determined and focused on the ring. She slides in, stands up and just waits in the corner, cracking her knuckles.
Troy Franklin: Sarah got past Kate Steele, she got by Stacy Jones and now she's here.
Duke King: And this, while you may think it's going to be the toughest match, with the fatigue and everything... It may not even happen.
Skye Sparks: We have not recieved any word on Gabby Camacho's condition, but she had to be helped to the back last time. She may not even bloody make it out here now.
{"Frontline" by Pillar begins and the song plays for about 20 seconds and there is no Gabby.}
Troy Franklin: That may have just answered our question.
Duke King: Gabby may just be too injured to continue.
{Sarah waits in the ring with a smirk on her face as Gabby's music starts up again, but Gabby still doesn't show after about 30 seconds.}
Troy Franklin: Well, it looks like Gabby won't make it.
{Sarah finally snatches the microphone from Beth Harris.}
Sarah Lacklan: This was supposed to be the greatest night of my life. I can tell you now, it hasn't been. But if there is one consolation right now, it's that I AM the Queen of the Ring! Referee, count Gabby out, and give me my crown!
{The Official looks around for a moment, and then starts to count.}
Sarah Lacklan: Now, I told you this would happen. So... Amy Jo Smyth, Mackenzie Roberts, understand this, Now that I am queen, I will -
{"Pillar starts up again and this time Gabby DOES appear.}
Troy Franklin: Gabby is here!
Duke King: She's gonna gut this out apparently.
Skye Sparks: This what's Queen of the Ring means to Gabby!
{Gabby is hobbling to the ring, her leg in bad shape. She limps down to the ring and rolls in, and Sarah attacking immediately!}
Troy Franklin: Gabby is showing a lot of heart coming out here.
Duke King: But not many brains.
Skye Sparks: I don't know how wise it was to come out here, but at least she did.
{Sarah stomps away at Gabby’s knee and does not stop. Gabby grabs the rope and the official has to move Sarah back. Gabby uses the ropes to pull herself up, but as soon as she is up, Sarah instantly is back on her and kicks her back down. She drags Gabby by her bad leg to the center of the ring and drops an elbow on it. She stands and repeats this action two more times before the official asks Gabby is she still wants to continue. Gabby nods and Sarah goes right back to stomping her. Sarah then attempts a figure four, but Gabby uses her good leg to kicks Sarah away. Gabby crawls away to create some distance, making it to her knees. Sarah comes back in with hard right hands, only for Gabby to fight back. Gabby hits a few in a row before Sarah kicks Gabby in the bad leg and puts her right back down on the canvas. Sarah then leg locks Gabby causing her more pain and attempting to get a submission.}
Troy Franklin: This one may be over before it really starts.
Duke King: Gabby was already walking wounded, and she’s really not been able to do anything in this match so far.
{Gabby uses her free leg to kick away at Sarah, trying to get her to break, but Sarah holds on and refuses to let go. Gabby refuses to submit and begins to drag both herself and Sarah towards the ropes, eventually grabbing them and forcing the break. Sarah doesn’t break right away, but does once the official hits 3. Sarah stands up as Gabby slides out of the ring under the rope, sitting on the apron, until Sarah hits a baseball slide, driving Gabby off the apron and onto the floor! Gabby splats and clutches her knee on the floor.}
Troy Franklin: Gabby hits the floor and, right now this looks like it’s really a formality right now.
Skye Sparks: Gabby probably should have lived to fight another day, she’s risking her career at this point.
Duke King: Sarah is zeroed in on that knee, it’s only a matter of time!
{Sarah demands the referee begin to count Gabby out. He does so, beginning his count as Gabby lays on the floor. By the count of 7, Gabby has grabbed the apron and begins to pull herself up. 8, Gabby is standing, but before there is a count of 9, Sarah hits the ropes and dives onto Gabby on the floor!}
Troy Franklin: Sarah is taking no chances!
Duke King: She’s sending a message right now.
{Sarah rolls back into the ring and demands the count begin again. The official again starts his count again. This time, it’s not til 9 that Gabby is standing and she JUST beats the count back into the ring. Sarah is right there stomping on her injured leg to keep up the assault. Sarah is backed off by the official who again asks Gabby if she wants to quit, but Gabby refuses. Sarah then drags her to the middle of the ring, again attempting a figure four, but again Gabby kicks her away, this time, Sarah collides with the turnbuckle chest-first. Gabby hobbles to her feet and nearly beheads Sarah with a clothesline! Gabby manages to stay upright holding onto the ropes and staying in the corner. Sarah stumbles to her feet, and Gabby stands in the corner, motioning for her to come and fight her. Sarah snickers and dives right in, hitting Gabby in the leg as Gabby tries to fight though the pain. Gabby uses her good leg as Sarah reaches for the bad one and knees Sarah right in the nose! Sarah stumbles back as Gabby grabs her and tosses her into the corner where she was. Keeping close to the ropes, Gabby hits a series of elbows to the side of Sarah’s head, before pulling the stunned Sarah out of the corner and lifting her onto her shoulders, using the ropes to assist. Gabby simply falls back, completing a Samoan drop! Gabby clutches her knee before making the cover.

Sarah kicks out.}
Troy Franklin: Gabby showing signs of life!
Skye Sparks: It’s only flashes, you wonder how long she can sustain this.
{Gabby uses the ropes to get up, hobbling around on her good leg. Sarah rolls to the outside and Gabby slowly follows her, grabbing her and slamming her face-first into the ring steps. Blood seeps from Sarah’s nose as Gabby tosses her back into the ring. Gabby slowly slides in. Gabby uses the ropes to get up and stands up fully as Sarah stumbles up. Gabby then picks up Sarah onto her shoulders, looking for the Killzone, but her knee gives out. She collapses, and Sarah quickly maneuvers around and grabs Gabby’s bag leg, and applies another single leg Boston crab! Fortunately for Gabby, she is near the ropes and grabs them immediately.}
Troy Franklin: Gabby is fortunate there. She’s in a great deal of pain.
Duke King: Sarah is going to snuff those dreams of being Queen out of Gabby if this keeps up. I’m amazed the referee hasn’t stopped this already.
Skye Sparks: A bloody ref stoppage? I’m pretty sure Gabby will have that leg amputated before she gives up.
{Sarah quickly stands up, pulling Gabby up by the hair and guiding her into the corner. She drapes Gabby’s leg over the middle rope, and begins kicking at her thigh and quad. Gabby yells in pain but since she is in the ropes, the official forces Sarah to step back. Gabby undrapes her leg and tries to remain standing in the corner. Sarah comes in, looking to repeat the action, but Gabby ducks low and picks Sarah up, takes one step and hits a spinebuster! Gabby clutches at her knee for a few moments, and then just mounts Sarah and unloads with right hands, a bunch of free shots as blood continues to ooze out of Sarah’s nose. The official warns Gabby, who rolls off of Sarah and uses the ropes to get up. Gabby pulls Sarah to her feet and hits a hard right hand. She whips Sarah into the ropes and ducks her head for a backdrop, but Sarah counters with a kick. Sarah hits the ropes again and jumps at Gabby, who catches her looking for another spinebuster, but Sarah counters in mid-air and turns it into a DDT! Sarah covers!

Gabby rolls the shoulder!}
Troy Franklin: SO CLOSE!
Duke King: She was a half second away! I don’t know how Gabby is doing this!
{Sarah looks frustrated and angry. She gets back to her feet as Gabby crawls towards the ropes to get up. Sarah quickly grabs her legs and pulls her into the center of the ring, applying the figure four successfully this time!}
Troy Franklin: Figure four!
Duke King: It has to be over.
Skye Sparks: I’m going to have to agree, there’s no way Gabby can withstand this.
{Gabby yells and screams in pain, but refuses to tap out. Gabby tries to reverse the pressure but cannot. She bites her lip, refusing to quit as she begins to drag herself towards the ropes. She’s inches away, when Sarah lets go of the hold and pulls Gabby back to the center and reapplies the hold! Gabby again yells in pain, and again begins to make the crawl towards the ropes. She’s again inches away, but when she feels Sarah about to release, she uses an adrenaline rush and reverses the hold!}
Troy Franklin: She reversed it!
{Sarah yells in pain as she lets go of the hold before it does any more damage. Sarah hold her knee for a quick moment before getting up. Gabby makes it to the ropes and tries to get up. Sarah quickly charges her into the corner, splashing her much like she did Stacy. Gabby goes down and Sarah sense victory. She grabs Gabby by the hair and pulls her to a standing position, even with Gabby hopping on one leg. Sarah hooks Gabby looking for the Abyss, but Gabby twists into it and pulls Sarah into a small package!
1…
2…
3NO! Sarah kicks out!}
Troy Franklin: Gabby almost pulled one out of the hat!
Skye Sparks: She’s a bloody magician to have survived this long, but that may have been her last gasp.
{Sarah is quickly on her feet and stomping Gabby, trying to keep her down. Gabby can barely get up and Sarah starts slapping her in the back of the head, taunting Gabby before kicking her back down to the mat in the bad leg. Gabby rolls to the ropes to try and create distance, but Sarah does not allow it. Sarah pulls Gabby up and leads her to the corner and slaps her again, this time across the face. Gabby stares a hole through Sarah, and throws her into the corner and unloads with right hands, and a huge backhand slap to counter! Gabby spins Sarah around and tries a German suplex, but Sarah elbows her way out. Gabby drops to a knee and Sarah quickly hits the shining wizard! Gabby goes down and Sarah covers!
1…
2…
3NO! Gabby BARELY rolls the shoulder.}
Troy Franklin: I can’t believe it.
Duke King: I’m shocked. Sarah is shocked. Everyone is shocked!
Skye Sparks: No, Sarah’s pissed.
{Sarah is hopping mad and taking no chances. She pulls Gabby to a standing position and hooks her for the Abyss again. She yells “QUEEN” before Gabby again twists into the hold, lifts Sarah on her shoulders and with one leg, delivers the Killzone! Gabby makes the cover hooking the leg.
1….
2….
3!}
Duke King: NO! NO! NO WAY THAT JUST HAPPENED!
Troy Franklin: GABBY DID IT! SOMEHOW, SOME WAY SHE MANAGED TO JUST BEAT SARAH LACKLAN!
Skye Sparks: I need a drink.
{Gabby rolls off of Sarah as her music plays. Gabby clutches her knee, but makes it to the ropes to stand up and get her hand raised. The trainer come out from the back as Gabby crumbles back down in pain and she rolls underneath the ropes to where the trainers can attend to her.}
Skye Sparks: Gabby may have permanently injured herself, but she bloody won.
Duke King: Gabby is headed to Night of Glory IV, but then again, so is Sarah Lacklan.
Skye Sparks: Sarah vs. Crystal is going to be something. But what kind of shape will Gabby be in for her match against the LAW champion.
{Gabby eventually is able to walk away with a horrible limp the trainers close to her in case she falls, but she walks up the aisleway and holds her arms up in victory, and then makes the belt motion before heading backstage.}
Troy Franklin: Congratulations of Gabby Camacho, hats off to her as she is the 2017 Queen of the Ring! Folks, the main event, is next!
Beth Harris: The following match is scheduled for one fall with no disqualifications and pinfalls counting anywhere. It is your main event and for the L.A.W. Championship!
Troy Franklin: And here it is. Amy Jo Smyth versus Mackenzie Roberts for the L.A.W. Title.
Duke King: It’s almost as if we’ve done this before.
Troy Franklin: I’m sure fans remember, but last month we saw these two women go at it. Amy Jo Smyth retained the title after defeating Roberts.
Skye Sparks: If you thought you’d be getting a repeat of Validation, you’re very wrong. This is going to be very different. Anything goes in this match.
Duke King: Anything?
Skye Sparks: Anything.
Troy Franklin: And she means anything.
{"Crushcrushcrush" by Paramore starts. The lights go dim. Mackenzie Roberts appears on the stage, basking in the light the spotlights, wearing her signature Queen Bitch crown, a black sports bra, and blue yoga pants. The crowd gives her a mixed reaction, a pretty equal blend of cheers and boos. After a few seconds, she begins her slow walk toward the ramp.}
Beth Harris: First, the challenger, hailing from New York City, weighing in at a 110-pounds…
{Mackenzie Roberts reaches the ring and slides in under the bottom rope.}
Beth Harris: She is Mackenzie Roberts!
{In the center of the ring, she throws her fist up and gets a better reaction from the Las Vegas crowd than she did when she first came out. She leans over the ropes to talk to, or more scream at, the fans in the front row, pumping herself up for the match.}
Troy Franklin: Last time we saw Roberts, she attacked the L.A.W. Champion and nearly broke her arm.
Skye Sparks: Mackenzie Roberts has found quite the mean streak in her.
Duke King: It’s about damn time she did, too.
Troy Franklin: When it comes to that title, people become something else. Call it a mean streak if you want, but it brings pure determination in people and a willingness to do anything to get it.
Skye Sparks: As we saw in the champion herself when she was going for this title.
Duke King: Wasn’t it Smyth who tried to break Roberts’ arm a few months ago? I say that Roberts was just evening the score. Fair is fair, right?
Skye Sparks: I hate saying this, but he’s got a point and I do agree. You can’t try to break someone’s arm and then get all pissy when they do the same to you.
Troy Franklin: It’ll be interesting to see how Amy Jo Smyth is doing after that… Nasty injury.
Skype Sparks: Last I heard, she had a dislocated elbow.
Duke King: Ha. Good.
Troy Franklin: She was cleared for action tonight.
{The lights suddenly drop to nothing, plunging the entire arena into pure darkness.}
Skye Sparks: Ah!
Duke King: It’s the end! North Korea has finally invaded. We’re doomed.
Skye Sparks: Doooomeeedddd!
{“Shoot to Thrill” by Halestorm hits but the arena remains dark. A single spotlight lands on the entranceway, falling on Amy Jo Smyth in a golden hood. She slowly lifts her arm, showing off a metallic gold elbow sleeve that covers her elbow, and raises a clenched fist into the air. The lights pop back on and Smyth spins around on her toes to face the crowd, glitter cannon in hand. She wears brand new ring gear, including matching elbow sleeves, boots, and black and gold knee pads, and a long, hooded cape made of that same metallic gold.}
I got my gun at the ready gonna fire at will
‘Cause I shoot to thrill and I’m ready to kill
I can’t get enough and I can’t get my fill
Shoot to thrill play to kill
Pull the trigger, pull it
Pull it, pull it
Pull the trigger
‘Cause I shoot to thrill and I’m ready to kill
I can’t get enough and I can’t get my fill
Shoot to thrill play to kill
Pull the trigger, pull it
Pull it, pull it
Pull the trigger
{The Good Doctor aims the cannon upward and pulls the trigger. Large pieces of golden glitter shoot into the air and rain down over the crowd. She moves to her left and fires off another round.}
Beth Harris: And her opponent, hailing from Dirty Jersey, weighing in at 160-pounds…
Duke King: She’s so shiny.
Skye Sparks: She’s like walking glitter, jesus. T c
{Smyth hands the cannon off to Pet who has been waiting in the wings and opens the cape to expose the L.A.W. title around her waist. She slowly makes her way down the ramp, giving the occasional fist bump, and stops just before the ring. After a quick moment of listening to the crowd and staring at Roberts, she rushes forward, slides into the ring, and stands. She throws down her hood and glares at Roberts more before jumping up on the turnbuckle.}
Beth Harris: She is the L.A.W. Champion, Amy Jo Smyth!
{She leaps down, slides out of her robe, passing it off to Pet who waits at ringside and slowly unclips the title from around her waist. She holds it over her head to loud cheers. Mackenzie Roberts pounces, taking Smyth down with a full body charge that sends the title flying into the air, and starts an MMA-style ground and pound. The referee calls for the bell and retrieves the belt only to send it to the outside.}
Duke King: That’ll teach Smyth to be so damn flashy.
Troy Franklin: Our main event is underway just like that. Roberts gets this match started with a bang.
Duke King: Smyth doesn’t even know what hit her.
{Roberts continues with the repetitive quick punches. Smyth manages to slip her leg under the stomach of Roberts, uses that for leverage, and pushes Roberts off of her. Smyth rolls to her knees and tries to crawl away but the quick Roberts snatches her by the head and hair. Roberts lifts Smyth to her feet, drags her to the corner, and slams her heart first into the top turnbuckle. Roberts sends Smyth into the opposite corner with a brutal Irish Whip and follows that up with a hard charging forearm smash to her head. After hooking the champion’s neck, she pulls her out and plants her face first into the mat with a bulldog. She goes for the cover.
1…
2 - Smyth throws her shoulder up!}
Skye Sparks: Roberts is just manhandling Smyth.
Duke King: That’s an understatement.
Skye Sparks: Smyth needs to get going or this is going to be a one sided match this entire time.
Troy Franklin: It’ll be interesting to see, that’s for sure.
{Mackenzie Roberts grabs Amy Jo Smyth by the left arm, the site of her injury, and goes for an armbar.}
Troy Franklin: That was only a matter of time.
Duke King: You’d be stupid to not take advantage of that.
{Smyth fights back, doesn’t let Roberts completely extend the arm, but still screams out in pain. With pure strength and determination, Smyth rolls around and kicks Roberts in the head, breaking the hold and sending Roberts away.}
Skye Sparks: It’s not pretty and there isn’t a lot of skill to it, but it bloody works.
Troy Franklin: Smyth escaped that without too much damage. Or so we hope.
Duke King: Roberts better play that elbow or she worth her salt.
Troy Franklin: Or does she ignore it and keep this match fair?
Duke King: Yeah, because Smyth asking for this to be no DQ is real fair… She did say she’d get herself disqualified on purpose.
Troy Franklin: This is true, but she asked for it so now the title can change hands, no matter what.
{Mackenzie Roberts climbs to her feet, holding her head, looking more angered than injured. Amy Jo Smyth does the same, holding her left arm and shake it out. The two women exchange some words as they come to the center of the ring and meet face to face. They continue their exchange of words until Smyth decides to knee Roberts in the stomach, grab her by the head, and hit a classic, no frills DDT that is just as effective as another. Smyth doesn’t even bother with a cover and goes right into stomping and kicking Roberts in the midsection. She drops an elbow into her ribs that sends Roberts onto her back. Smyth rolls up and grabs Roberts by her ankle, preparing for an ankle-lock. Smart and aware, Roberts is quick to move away, sliding out of the ring under the bottom rope.}
Troy Franklin: That is how quickly things can change here.
Skye Sparks: It’s only a matter of whether Amy Jo can keep this momentum going.
{Amy Jo Smyth lines herself up, springs herself off the ropes, runs forward, leaps, and flies over through the second rope. She nails Roberts with a bullet tope.}
Skye Sparks: That was impressive.
Troy Franklin: That took both of them down, though.
Skye Sparks: True, but it was worth it.
{Both women lay on the outside, barely stirring. It is actually Roberts who gets to her feet first and stands, wobbling. Smyth gets to her feet and starts after Roberts. She slams her forearm into her back and sends her moving up the rampway toward the entrance. Roberts throws a punch that lands but the women keep moving forward. This exchange continues on.}
Duke King: They’re coming for us.
Skye Sparks: They’re gonna kick your ass for all the awful things you’ve said about ‘em.
Troy Franklin: I don’t think these women a rat’s ass about us right now.
{The women stumble through the entranceway into the backstage area. They throw punches at each other as they go along. Smyth gets Roberts by the head and throws her into the concrete wall, dazing her. The champ follows that up by throwing Roberts into a set of heavy double boys. They spring open and send Roberts tumbling to the ground outside. Both women stand outside now, temporarily blinded by the bright sun. Smyth stomps Roberts. Roberts grabs her leg, sends her to the ground. The two women fight on the ground now, throwing punches. Smyth is able to get Roberts to her feet and put her down with a body-slam on the pavement.}
Duke King: Damn, that had to hurt.
Troy Franklin: Things have moved outside here tonight.
Skye Sparks: I’m thinking that most people expected this.
{A small green golf cart comes rolling up on the two, stopping short. The chubby security guard doesn’t know what to do. Smyth does, though. She starts shouting at the man to get out, get away. He quickly leaves the golf cart, still running, and dashes away. Smyth gets behind the wheel of the cart, backs it up, and brings it to a stop a few feet away from Roberts. Roberts slowly climbs to her feet, unaware that Smyth is barreling toward her in the golf cart at full speed.}
Troy Franklin: Smyth is about to run over Roberts.
Duke King: With a stolen golf cart! This descended into madness so quick and I love it.
Troy Franklin: Get outta the way. Get out of the way!
Skye Sparks: Move, bitch, get out the way!
{Roberts sees Smyth coming and just before impact, leaps into the air. Roberts come crashing down on the front of the golf cart, hanging on for dear life as Smyth drives erratically, trying to throw Roberts off the vehicle. Roberts refuses to release her grip and actually takes ahold of the steering wheel, causing the cart to move around violently and lose track of the road. The front grinds into the side of a wall then hits the curb. It actually goes over the curb and onto the sidewalk as Smyth tries to pry Roberts’ hands off the wheel. They turn into the lot for the entrance of the loading docks and storage area. Roberts is able to climb up inside the cart and start punching Smyth in the face. The cart crashes violently into a small concrete divider. Smyth flies out, landing behind the divider, while Roberts is barely able to avoid be thrown forward by hanging onto the wheel.}
Duke King: This is why you shouldn’t drink and drive.
Troy Franklin: Roberts and Smyth are just going in.
{Smyth is just beginning to climb up to her feet when Roberts leaps off the barricade and hits Smyth with a flying elbow that smacks Smyth against the pavement. Roberts, bleeding from her other elbow from the impact, brings Smyth up to her feet as she goes. In front of them is a huge pile of beer kegs and five gallon water bottles.}
Mackenzie Roberts: Have a drink!
{With that, Roberts whips Smyth into the pile, sending her crashing into them and rolling on top of them.}
Duke King: Hahaha. I bet Smyth feels right on home surrounded by all that beer.
Troy Franklin: I can’t say it felt good, that’s for sure.
{Roberts climb on top of the kegs, careful to keep her balance. She picks one up and throws it on Smyth, who lets out a huge painful groan when it lands.}
Skye Sparks: This is very Donkey Kong.
Duke King: Did you just call Roberts a monkey?
Skye Sparks: Donkey Kong is an ape…
Duke King: Okay, what’s the difference?
Skye Sparks: Don’t put words in my mouth, bro.
{Mackenzie Roberts lifts the L.A.W. Champion up to her feet and tries to hook her up. Smyth is able to fight back with some right hands and just pushes Roberts off the kegs down to the ground. Smyth, annoyed, lifts a keg and throws it with all her might at Roberts. Roberts is able to roll out of the way, letting the keg hit with a huge clunk. It breaks open and sends beer shooting everywhere but mostly on Roberts. Roberts is now soaked head to toe in old beer as she climbs to her feet. She starts walking, shaking the wetness off of her. Smyth jumps down and gives chase. They stumble through an open loading door and start sparring again as they walk down a hallway.}
Troy Franklin: Hopefully they’re on the way back to the ring.
Duke King: That’d be kind of disappointing. I wanted a free tour of Vegas.
{Roberts, being chased by Smyth, turns and tosses a box at her, then another, then another. It only manages to slow Smyth down and create space. That’s when Roberts come through with a large sign for one of the stores in the casino and slams it over Smyth’s head. The wooden sign breaks in half and sends Smyth to the ground. Roberts grabs Smyth by the left arm and starts dragging her across the concrete floor. Smyth is screaming the entire way. With no concern, Roberts lifts Smyth her arm and throws her into doors, getting revenge for earlier in the match. Smyth tumbles out right into the back end of a store.}
Duke King: A little shopping, huh? Do we have time for this?
Troy Franklin: That’s not the ring.
Skye Sparks: Wow, aren’t you so astute.
{Smyth is thrown into a shelving unit, sending everything down on her, mostly handbags. Roberts grabs one, throws the handle around her neck and starts pulling, choking Smyth. Smyth tries to pull away, struggling to breathe, and drags the two of them to the front counter where a frightened salesgirl watches. The handle snaps, releasing Smyth and letting her move away to catch her breathe and cough. Roberts looks at the salesgirl, holding the broken bag.}
Mackenzie Roberts: This broke. Can I get a refund?
{The salesgirl doesn’t answer and Roberts throws it away. She grabs Smyth by the head and slams her into the top of the glass display case, cracking both the glass and Smyth’s head open.}
Troy Franklin: And she’s broken open. Smyth is bleeding.
Duke King: Again.
{Amy Jo Smyth looks around, blood coming down from her head, and snarls. Roberts grabs her and throws her forward. Smyth goes flying through the glass window in front, falling to the hallway.}
Troy Franklin: Oh! No! Smyth is going to be sliced in pieces.
Skye Sparks: How is Smyth even still alive after that?
{Roberts steps through the broken window and goes down for the cover.
1…
2…
Smyth throws her shoulder up violently.}
Duke King: Oh, my. Well, that’s…
Troy Franklin: Smyth got her shoulder up. Just barely in time, but she did it.
Duke King: I have to say, I have no idea how. I’m impressed.
Skye Sparks: I almost think that it would be smarter for Smyth to kick out at this point.
{Roberts lifts Smyth to her feet and starts carrying her along, deeper into the casino.}
Troy Franklin: When it comes to the L.A.W. Championship, it’s hard to get anyone to stop. Nothing will get one or the other to quit.
Duke King: Except being knocked out cold.
Troy Franklin: That’ll work, but neither of these ladies seem willing to do that.
{Roberts whips Smyth into the side of a slot machine. Gamblers of all ages and sizes scatter, giving the woman plenty of room to fight. Roberts prepares to send Smyth into a pillar but Smyth holds back and reverses. Roberts hits a bank of slot machines hard, causing them to shake violently and light up and sing wildly.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Jackpot!
{Smyth spits a huge glob of blood onto the floor and grabs Roberts. She lifts Roberts, thrusts her up into the air with a military press, and releases her onto the top of a giant Wheel of Fortune Machine game. The glass top shatters and Roberts falls through to the spinning wheel. Smyth hits the button and the wheel starts spinning with Roberts on it.}
Troy Franklin: This is getting so weird.
Duke King: I’d like to buy a vowel.
Skye Sparks: Big money, big money, big money!
{The Champion looks around the floor and starts to scale the top of the nearest highest thing - a second floor overhang. The machine finally starts spinning and Smyth gets to the overhang.}
Duke King: What is she doing? What’s happening?
Skye Sparks: I feel like this is gonna get bad.
Duke King: Or really good.
Troy Franklin: Smyth has climbed up to that second floor overlook and she’s climbing over the side. You can only imagine…
{Smyth jumps fearlessly and hits Roberts with a double moonsault. Smyth lets out a scream as the machine collapses beneath them and parts fall all over them, covering them. The referee moves in, looks at the inside of the pile, and starts the count.
1…
2…
3!
The referee calls for the bell.
Duke King: Okay, but who won?
Troy Franklin: Wow.
{Someone hands the referee the title and EMTs roll in. After a few seconds of the EMTs moving around and other people pulling stuff away, Smyth pops her head up from the center of the debris, covered in glass, broken plastic, and blood.}
Amy Jo Smyth: I’d like to solve the puzzle, Pat!
{The referee holds the title out to her, points at her, and Smyth grabs it.}
Beth Harris: Your winner, and still L.A.W. Champion, Amy Jo Smyth!
Troy Franklin: There’s your answer. Smyth retains. After that, I’d say she should have.
Duke King: How is she still alive? Is Roberts still alive?
Skye Sparks: This is just… We had all kinds of stuff. Hit and runs. Beer kegs. And now - and now the destruction of a gambling thing.
Duke King: Anyone else wondering who is gonna pay for this?
{Smyth climbs out of the debris and is immediately held up by Pet. Pet kisses her on the cheek. She holds up the title in victory and then turns around, as if remembering something. She watches the EMTs lift Roberts out of the debris. She isn’t moving and the EMTs look very concerned. A painful look overtakes Amy Jo.}
Troy Franklin: I can only hope Roberts is okay.
Duke King: After all that, I don’t know.
{Smyth and everyone watches as Roberts is carted away.}
Troy Franklin: Thanks for joining us tonight.
{Smyth tosses the title over her shoulder and starts walking, with help, away from the scene of the crime, needing medical attention herself.}
Skye Sparks: Say goodnight, Duke.
Duke King: Goodnight, Duke.
Troy Franklin: We will see again in two weeks!
