{Kenzi and Sarah Lacklan arrived at the arena along with the rest to the Cool Kids. While most had a jovial attitude, Kenzi and Sarah seemed more subdued. As they walked through the halls, Sarah spotted Colin Reed and her mood soured even more. With a furled brow, the Red Queen started after him, her heels clicking against the title of the floor at a quickened pace.}
Sarah Selena Lacklan: COLIN REED! I’D HAVE WORDS WITH YOU!
{Colin backed away, holding up his hands defensively.}
Colin Reed: HOLD ON!! HOLD ON NOW!!
{Before Sarah could latch on to him, Kenzi ran ahead and got between them. She convinced Sarah to back off as she turned to Colin.}
Kenzi Grey: Colin, I don’t know what has gotten into you with all this demands for us to change our names and not refer to each other as wife, but it has to stop! The blackmail over the church tribunal, the whole thing! I just want it over with!
{Colin seemed legitimately confused by this.}
Colin Reed: I don’t know what you’re talking about! I haven’t made any demands at all! I filed the paperwork to have the church to investigate and process the annulment. I swear, that is all that I have done! Trust me…I want this over and done with as much as you do!
{Sarah lifted her chin as she glared at him, still not convinced.}
Sarah Selena Lacklan: When did you file this paperwork?
{Colin scratched his head.}
Colin Reed: Well…Sid said that she fil…
Kenzi Grey: MY MOTHER?! YOU LET MY MOTHER FILE FOR YOU?!
{Colin shrunk back, his eyes wide as he was unsure who to be more afraid of now.}
Colin Reed: She’s…scary…
{Sarah moved past Kenzi her red eyes blazing.}
Sarah Selena Lacklan: SCARY? I CAN SHOW YOU SCARY!!
{Kenzi pulled Sarah aside, allowing Colin to scurry away.}
Kenzi Grey: My mother has been manipulating this situation the entire time, not Colin! If we are going to fix this, we need to use our heads! Trust me…we will fix this…together!
{Sarah pouted, still angry as she clenched and unclenched her gloved fists.}
Sarah Selena Lacklan: I swear to you Beloved, I will send your mother screaming into the Abyss! This had better be fixed soon!
{Kenzi kissed her to calm her fire.}
Kenzi Grey: Soon…I swear!
{The two placed their heads together for a moment, sharing a moment of togetherness before they turned and rejoined their friends, secure in the knowledge of who the REAL enemy was.}
{A black screen. After some time, We get the usual intro, then we get more LAW event highlights, and then Amy Jo Smyth, Crystal Millar, The Boardwalk Angels, Etsuko, and Sam Tolson holding up their respective titles. We cut from that to a live wide shot of the audience as they cheer wildly as "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera playings We go to Troy, Skye, and Duke, already sitting down.}
{The sounds of “Frontline” start up and the 2017 Queen of the Ring slowly walks out, dressed casually tonight as she makes no haste motoring down to the ring. She hikes up the steps and enters the ring, the cheers loud as she puts her arms in the air. Flashbulbs go off as she takes the microphone from Beth Harris.}
Gabby: What’s up Kansas City!
{Cheers for Gabby.}
Gabby: I just want everyone to be aware of something tonight, and as we move closer to Night of Glory. From tonight until then, is 63 days. Now, it’s a few days after Thanksgiving and all, so it’ll be hard to miss. But the countdown is on. And at the end of that countdown, Amy Jo Smyth’s title reign, will most certainly be over. Because that’s the day, she’s going to lose it, to me.
{Some ooh’s from the crowd.}
Gabby: Now last show, I tried to be nice. I tried to at least show Amy Jo Smyth a little respect. More than anyone else is giving her right now. I wanted this to be about a contest between two wrestlers at the biggest show in company history. But was it actually returned? No. Amy Jo Smyth decided that glitter was the way to go. Yeah, glitter. It’s a bitch to get out of your clothes and hair, I’ll tell you that much.
{Gabby laughs for a quick second before the tone changing to a serious one.}
Gabby: So that, is how she wants to play this. You don’t want to respect me, I won’t respect you. This is THE LAW champion right now. Glitter, robots, donuts and awkward extra marital affairs. The truth is Amy Jo Smyth turned into exactly what she hated. A side show. She became the peanut gallery. She promised all of you that she was going to defend LAW and bring it to new heights. And… what has happened around here? What has changed? Not a damn thing. She said she was going to be a better champion than me. Because I was… BORING. I put her to sleep, right?
{Some cheers, some boos.}
Gabby: I mean, since Amy Jo Smyth became the champion, things are so much better aren’t they? Oh, that’s right, they’re not, and literally everyone, every single person on this roster HATES you as the champion. Well, okay, maybe not everyone. Crystal is trying to show you some sympathy. Maybe Sam doesn’t hate you. But it’s quite obvious, you are running out of a friends here. No one wants to follow your lead. You have lead us… all of NOWHERE because it isn’t all about you. Because that’s what you’re about. You. You have skated around LAW for a year and some change whining and crying about not getting your chance. Now, you have the chance to do something great, like you said you would, and it’s all too much. You’re content. Hey, you got your championship, right? So you’re going to fly drones backstage. Eat donuts and think it’s entertaining. I have news for you, it isn’t. Nobody give a fuck about any of that, all they want is for you to be the leader you said you were going to be. But the truth is, you can’t. And no glitter attack is going to change that.
{More ooh’s.}
Gabby: So here it is Amy Jo, you have 63 days. Are you going to do SOMETHING, ANYTHING to prove that you’re not just a liar who just wanted to be champion? Are you going to admit that you failed as champion, or make the changes to become one of the best? Yes, you have the longest reign, most successful defenses. But now the game has changed. You have a choice to make. Either step up, or step off. And let’s face it, you know you really don’t want to keep this going. I’m telling you now, this is the last time I’m going to be nice about this. Keep pushing me and you won’t like where this goes.
{More ooh’s from the crowd}
Gabby: 63 days… enjoy ‘em champ.
{Gabby calmly hands the microphone to Beth as her music plays and she calmly walks back up the ramp.}
{The four women explode into action as soon as the bell rings. Oshiro goes for Salvatore while Desjardins goes for Bratton. Bratton and Desjardins exchange punches until Desjardins gets control and puts Bratton into an almost effortless hammerlock. Salvatore catches Oshiro and wraps her into a waist lock. Desjardins moves forward into the ropes, grabs them, and springs herself free while sending Salvatore rolling away. As soon as Salvatore stands, Oshiro mule kicks her in the stomach and follows that up with a springboard reverse elbow drop.
Bratton fights free and counters by rolling free. Oshiro slams her fists into the back of Bratton and whips her into Desjardins. Desjardins catches Bratton and hits a uranage side-slam. She hooks the leg but the pin is quickly broken up by Salvatore. Salvatore is quickly grabbed from behind by Oshiro, spun around, and dropped with a single knee gutbuster. Desjardins lifts Bratton and drags her toward Oshiro. The two women work together to drop Bratton with a ring rattling double team body slam. Desjardins and Oshiro stand, look at each other. Oshiro tells Desjardins to lift Bratton and as she does, grabs Desjardins from behind and drops her with a flowing DDT. Oshiro goes for the cover on Desjardins but it’s broken up by Salvatore with a stomp.
Oshiro looks pissed as she gets to her feet. Salvatore throws hands at Oshiro, hitting hard right hands, floats over, and locks up Oshiro in a cobra clutch. Bratton gets to her feet and finds Desjardins. Bratton helps Desjardins to her feet and throws her into the nearest corner. She charges and sends Desjardins flying with a monkey flip. She follows that up with a clothesline. She charges towards Oshiro and Salvatore, but Salvatore sees her coming and Bratton flattens Oshiro in the corner. Salvatore then dropkicks Bratton out of the ring. Desjardins slowly gets up and Salvatore hits the Off with her head [Killswitch] and gets the 3 count.
{A few hours before showtime, cameras backstage at Kansas City’s Municipal Auditorium catch sight of a black Escalade driving down the ramp into the parking area behind the arena. Once it pulls into a parking spot, the driver’s and passenger’s side doors open and from them step the LAW Tag Team Champions, the Boardwalk Angels, followed by their stablemate from the rear set, the Marquee Champion, Crystal Millar. However, a fourth exits the vehicle as well, the door held for her by Millar: a new full-time signee to the LAW roster, Stacy Jones. All four women are dressed, to a woman, Boardwalk Angels tees… save for Zoey Madigan-Star, who’s opted for the hoodie version, said hood up and over head to partially mask her features for some reason. They gather their bags from the rear of the vehicle, chatting quietly among one another as LAW Interviewer Peter Kelly approaches to get a few words.}
Peter Kelly: Excuse me, ladies… mind if I ask you a few questions?
{Farrah is the first to acknowledge Peter as she slides the strap of her bag over her shoulder. Tossing her hair over the opposite side, she offers a small smile at the interviewer while the rest of the Angels eventually make their way forward. It should be noted that the mood among the Angels is noticeably on the somber side.}
Farrah Cornett: Go ahead, Pete. What do you have for us?
Peter Kelly: Well, first things first: the events of over a week ago concerning your fam-
Farrah Cornett: Hold it right there.
{Her tone is sharp when she interrupts Peter, and her expression hardens along with it.}
Farrah Cornett: Stick to the wrestling side of things, Pete. I get it: tragedy gets ratings but I’m not going to have my family’s trials and tribulations used to put eyes on screens and asses in seats. Got it?
Peter Kelly: Of course. My apologies.
Farrah Cornett: Don’t mention it.
{The double-meaning of her response is quite clear. Composing himself quickly, Peter poses a question on a different track.}
Peter Kelly: Based on what we saw this past week, is it official that Stacy Jones has taken the place of Courtney Steele as a member of the Boardwalk Angels?
{Looking over her shoulder at Stacy, Farrah laughs a little and turns back to Peter, nodding.}
Farrah Cornett: I wouldn’t call her a replacement, per se. Courtney decided to leave LAW for personal reasons, but she’s still very much an Angel. Stacy isn’t anyone’s replacement; she’s an Angel, plain and simple. You can tell them so yourself, Stace.
{Farrah takes a step aside so Jones can speak for herself on the subject.}
Stacy Jones: Thanks, Farrah. But yeah, Peter, it’s true… “Unbreakable” Stacy Jones is officially the newest member of the Boardwalk Angels. As the Crimson Angel here just said, I’m not replacing anyone, I’ve been very close friends with both Farrah and Zoey here for a long time now and even though Crystal and I haven’t had that much interaction with each other yet, she’s still as much of a sister to me as Farrah and Zoey are.
{Stacy turns towards Crystal and the two share a smile and a nod before Stacy turns her attention back to the interviewer.}
Stacy Jones: This has honestly been something I’ve wanted to be a part of for a while, and luckily for me, my three sisters here had no objections with me joining the group. I couldn’t ask to be involved with such a successful group, I mean… Farrah and Zoey are the current reigning LAW Tag Team Champions and Crystal here is the current reigning LAW Marquee Champion. I hope that over time I can help bring further success to the Angels so we can prove without a shadow of a doubt that we are not a group that should ever be taken lightly.
Peter Kelly: I see, well this is surely an interesting development that I’m sure the fans will be one hundred percent behind. My next question however is, have you got an official Angels nickname yet like the rest of the group?
{Stacy chuckles a little as she glances over to her fellow Angels momentarily before once again turning her attention back to Peter.}
Stacy Jones: Well we’ve got Zoey who is the Sorcerous Angel, Farrah who is the Crimson Angel and Crystal who is the Iron Angel…
{Looking up to the ceiling, she taps her chin with her index finger in thought before a smile grows on her face.}
Stacy Jones: I think I’ve got it...how does the Unbreakable Angel sound?
{She turns back to her fellow Angels yet again looking for some input on the new nickname she just gave herself.}
Crystal Millar: I dig it!
Farrah Cornett: Works for me, Stace.
{Zoey, remaining silent, nonetheless nods her agreement as well. For a moment, a mingled level of concern passes between the other three at her silence, but it is quickly put aside.}
Farrah Cornett: And there you have it. The Angels are four wings strong once again. And don’t be surprised if Stacy here is wearing LAW gold around her slender waist very soon.
Peter Kelly: I think many of our fans would be happy to see that. Back on business, though, do you have any thoughts on your six-woman tag match tonight against the Cool Kids?
Farrah Cornett: You mean beyond kicking Cottonmouth in the chest so hard that she craps her implants?
{Three out of the four Angels laugh at that one, Farrah included. Once more, Zoey is the quiet one in the situation… though her shoulders do shake a little bit as if to indicate a restrained chuckle.}
Farrah Cornett: No, we’ve said all we need to say in that regard. Our opinions on Cottonmouth are universal. No need to beat that horse anymore. Angelica and Ashley? Same goes for them. They’ve earned our respect. Now they have to earn their shot. Tonight’s their big chance. We hope they’re ready. But don’t forget the main event. Our girl Crystal, here? She’s going to deliver her own brand of style and violence against Smyth, Etsuko and Tolson. Keep your eyes on that one.
Stacy Jones: Damn right! Tonight, Zoey, Farrah and Crystal here are going to show the fans what they already know, and that is why they’re champions! As for me? Well, after my rocky start so far, it’s time for me to show the fans what I’m capable of as well as proving to my fellow Angels here that they didn’t make a mistake when they let me join them!
Peter Kelly: Well, in fairness, your last two matches here ended in controversy due to outside interference from Syl-
Stacy Jones: Don’t speak her name in our presence, Peter. If that little bitch even CONSIDERS sticking her damn nose into our match tonight? Well she’s not just going to have me to deal with, oh no… she’ll have to deal with ALL of us! And quite frankly… neither of us are in the mood for her silly little games… we’re in the mood for a damn fight!
{Peter seems just slightly taken aback by the forcefulness of Stacy’s delivery, not to mention the meaning behind her words, something that all four Angels are dead serious about delivering on. Zoey, however, is the one that steps forward. She gently, with a black-gloved hand, lowers the microphone toward herself a bit, speaking in an oddly-gentle fashion.}
Zoey Madigan-Star: Sylvia claims crazy and craves revenge, but she has no earthly idea what she has invoked in us with her chaotic assaults. Stacy and I have beaten her before and will do so again in the future should the opportunity be placed before us. Interfering in our battle tonight will not afford her mercy and may, in fact, put a quick end to her time in LAW. As far as Vaughn, Williams and Cotton go? Two of them challenged us out of respect. The other challenged us out of inflated self-opinion. But the reasons why? They don’t matter to Black Sorcery, Peter…
{The vocalization of that name has every bit the effect that Voldemort would in the Harry Potter universe; Farrah, Crystal and Stacy exchange looks as Zoey slides her hood back, revealing not only the lack of stitches in her forehead, which has healed surprisingly well in so short a time, but also the removal of her eye patch. A second glance shows that her healed eye has done so with a lighter color than the other; a lighter, more prominent gold as opposed to the golden brown of the left eye. It gives the Sorcerous Angel an ethereal stare.}
Zoey Madigan-Star: We have been challenged. We will answer the call. And as we have done for the past 210 days? We will overcome… and our opponents had best be ready to fly.
{Gathering her bag a little higher on her shoulder, Zoey walks past Peter and into the arena with the other Angels following after, each having a concerned look on their face.}
{The bell sounded with a rousing ovation for the returning Maya Jensen. Maya started the match with Tala and out-wrestled her to start, taking her over with arm drags and hip tosses. Tala tagged in Jaslene who also took some arm drags and a back drop. Maya took the arm of Jaslene and tagged in Abby and the two work worked over Jaslene’s arm Abby wringing it and causing Jaslene to flip to the canvas and then Abby hit nice leg drop on the arm as well. Jaslene needed to make a tag, but Abby and Maya continued to work over the left arm of Jaslene, preventing her from tagging, until Maya, who had tagged back in, tried for an Irish whip, but Jaslene reversed and Tala caught Maya with a kick to the back. Maya turned, and was distracted by Tala on the apron, allowing Jaslene to nail her from behind and hit a back suplex, before tagging in Tala, who took over on Maya with a spinning heel kick, following it up with a pinpoint elbow drop. She covered, but Maya kicked out at two.
Tala and Jaslene then took control, with Jaslene hanging Maya up on the top rope and Maya stumbling back at Tala hit a springboard bulldog. Tala covered again, but Maya again kicked out. Tala tagged Jaslene back in, and Jaslene hit a nice running powerslam on Maya for another near fall. Jaslene then went to the top rope and attempted a cross-body, but Maya got out of the way and Jaslene splatted on the canvas. Maya crawled over to make the tag, but Tala dropped off the apron and pulled Abby off right before Maya could get there, preventing the tag. Jaslene managed to drag Maya back to the sisters corner and tag Tala back in. Tala hit a hair-mare and then a rolling neck snap, and finally signaled to finish the match. She crouched, waited and when Maya got up, she went for a superkick, but Maya dodged it and hit a bulldog of her own! The race was then on to see who could make the tag but Jaslene just entered the ring and the ref had to usher her back, as the fans erupted when Maya tagged Abby, though the ref missed the tag! Thus he ushered Abby out as well, giving the sisters a chance to hit a double suplex on Maya and then because they look so similar, Jaslene simply replaced Tala with no tag at all. Jaslene and Tala then attempted a double backdrop, but Maya countered that with a double DDT! Maya finally crawled over and tagged in Abby to a huge ovation from the crowd!
Abby ran wild on both sisters hitting Jaslene with a belly to belly suplex, and then Tala with a high back body drop. Abby mowed both sisters down with a double clothesline, sending them to the floor, and then Abby boosted Maya up and over onto both sisters! Maya tossed Jaslene back into the ring and Abby hit the Recovery [RKO] on Jaslene and the referee dropped to count but Tala was able to break up the three count. Abby then attacked her as Maya came to interfere, but the referee ushered her out of the ring. Jaslene attacked Abby and held her as Tala went for a superkick, but Abby dodged and Jaslene took the shot! Abby knocked Tala from the ring and nailed the Abstinence on Jaslene and scored the 3 count.}
{The QoW and their tag team partner for the night, Roxy Cotton, are pictured backstage, sitting in their locker room going over strategy. Their voices are unintelligible, but until a sudden knock on the door makes them look up.}
Roxy Cotton: You guys expecting someone?
{Both Angelica and Ashley shake their heads, and the junior member of the team goes to open the door. In the opening stands a courier, holding a brown envelope.}
Courier: Delivery for misses Vaughn, Williams and Cotton.
{Without another word, he shoves the envelope in Angelica’s hands and runs off.}
Angelica: Weird…
Ashley: What’s in the envelope, Angie?
{The leggy blonde tears off the top and holds it upside down. A DVD case falls out, with a post-it note attached to the front saying ‘PLAY ME!’. It’s a good thing all LAW locker rooms come equipped with a TV and DVD player.}
Angelica: ‘Play me’. Well, I guess it won’t explode or anything.
Roxy: Don’t be so sure, Tolson will do anything to avoid actually facing me in the ring.
{As Ash rolls her eyes, Angelica puts the DVD into the machine and hits the play button. Instantly, the television screen comes to life as we see Sylvia Lopez slowly pacing back and forth in an undisclosed location behind an old rusty oil drum with a fire burning inside of it.}
Sylvia Lopez: Angelica Vaughn...Ashley Williams...Roxy Cotton…
{The crazed lunatic now turns her attention to the camera, as if she were staring right at the three women watching.}
Sylvia Lopez: You’re making quite a name for yourselves here in LAW along with Kenzi Grey, Sarah Lacklan and Milisandre Crowthorne aren’t you? The Cool Kids.
Ash: Who’s she calling a Cool Kid? Not me, I hope…
Angelica: Hush!
{On-screen, Sylvia chuckles as she pulls at her hair slightly.}
Sylvia Lopez: Over the last two shows, two of your fellow Cool Kids, Sarah and Milisandre acquired victories over that evil home-wrecking little whore, Stacy Jones. Of course, they obtained their victories courtesy of yours truly…
{Pointing to herself, she smiles as she continues pacing back and forth.}
Sylvia Lopez: And now, tonight...it’s the three of you going up against her in a six woman tag team match, and I think it’s fair to say that after I helped your fellow stable mates get their victories over that disgustingly pale tramp, that you owe me one?
{Roxy snorts.}
Roxy: Oh, do we now?
{Sylvia once again chuckles, looking up to the ceiling briefly before turning her attention back to the camera.}
{Sylvia Lopez: Do not worry, ladies...what I am about to ask of you won’t be difficult. Matter of fact, I know at least one of you would like to do this anyway, isn’t that right, Roxy?}
{She glances over to one side which eerily turns out to be where Roxy is standing, so it looks as though she’s looking right at her.}
Sylvia Lopez: I want the three of you to end Stacy Jones for good! I don’t just want you to beat her, I want you to maim her! I want you to make her bleed! I want you to break every single bone in her body! I want you to end her pathetic little existence on this rock we call a home!
{Pulling at her hair again, she cocks her head to the side a little.}
Sylvia Lopez: Now, I know I haven’t exactly been very nice to some of you already, so I understand if you feel like you do not wish to grant me this request. But I ask you this, isn’t the enemy of your enemy your friend?
Roxy: Why do people always think the enemy of my enemy can’t also be a massive cunt?
Sylvia: You see, I plan to cleanse LAW of all its fakes, frauds and liars...and it starts with Stacy Jones. If you do what I have asked of you, then I shall spare you and the rest of your Cool Kids group. I shall allow you to take over this company and make it your own! I will allow you to dominate it as you see fit!
Roxy: Spare us, huh? Ooh, I’m so scared! As if we need your permission!
Ashley: Will you shut up for a minute?
{Staring into the fire, the glow of the flames dance in Sylvia’s brown eyes as she outstretches her arms and looks up to the ceiling once again.}
Sylvia Lopez: Follow me...and I shall show you all the truth!
{She slowly lowers her head and glares into the camera lens with a sick and twisted grin on her face.}
Sylvia Lopez: Stand against me...and you...will...BURN!
{And with that, she lets out a maniacal laugh before all of a sudden, the video ends. Static appears on the TV, and Angelica pouts.}
Angelica: She really doesn’t like Stacy, does she? Why does she want us to destroy her?
Roxy: Damned if I know. I’m gonna do it anyway, but not because she asked.
Ashley: Look, to me this isn’t personal. It’s all just business. If we have to destroy Stacy to get the win tonight I will happily oblige, but I don’t really feel like doing her dirty work.
Angelica: I agree. Let’s just focus on getting that victory.
{Minako Ai, came to the ring soaking up a large ovation from the crowd. The cheers quickly turned to boos as Kenzi Grey came to the ring, looking focused and ready for the match. Kenzi didn’t seemed phased as her concentration was total. The ring announcer stood awkwardly holding out the microphone to Kenzi, but the TV star ignored her and this seemed to confuse her more. Kenzi always took the microphone from Beth Harris. Beth slowly exited the ring, even as she continued to look back and wonder if Kenzi was just messing with her. To her surprise and that of the crowd, Beth left the ring without incident and Kenzi even offered her hand to Minako. Minako, knowing Kenzi’s reputation, was cautious of her and only took her hand after looking to the fans several times. The handshake occurred without incident and the match was on from there.}
{The match started off fast as both women were known for their quickness. Kenzi was surprised early as the much smaller Minako proved to be a hair quicker. Minako out-quicked Kenzi and caught her with a variety of strikes as she looked to whittle the Cool Kid down. Kenzi seemed to be on the ropes until she managed to sidestep a spear attempt and send her opponent into the turnbuckles. From there, Kenzi took control of the smaller woman, enjoying a power advantage that she usually didn’t have. Kenzi executed a variety of technical moves that she usually didn’t display and executed them well. The influence of Sarah Lacklan was evident.}
{The end of the match came after Kenzi went for a shotgun dropkick into the corner, but Minako stunned her with the same spear that had missed earlier. Minako saw her chance as she went to the top rope, looking to hit her Shiva Swanton Bomb. Minako hit empty canvas as Kenzi rolled away at the last moment. Minako rolled to her feet only to get captured and dropped by the ''Mitzusaka Driver'' used by Etsuko, the Breakout Champion. Kenzi shrugged as the fans recognized the move and she quickly wrapped Minako into her own “Hollywood & Vine” single-leg Boston Crab. Minako fought valiantly to escape, but Kenzi kneeled down deep with the hold and she was forced to stop her struggle and tap out.}
{Again, Kenzi surprised the crowd by not staying in the ring to celebrate as she checked on Minako, then exited quickly, not even bothering to gloat or celebrate. Still, that match was a clear message to Etsuko that she was coming after her…and more specifically, that Breakout Title.}
{Nova comes to the center of the ring as the bell rings, but Milisandre characteristically stays in the corner, a bored expression on her face. Nova gestures for her to fight her, but Milisandre stays bored. And just as Nova looks to the referee to do something about it, Milisandre bursts out of the corner and grapples her, using the momentum and surprise to quickly shift into a side headlock. She grinds her wrist bones against Nova’s temple, making her cry out, and smiles at the cry. But then her smirk turns to surprise as Nova sets her feet and pushes Milisandre, freeing herself, and sending her into the ropes. Milisandre rebounds and blasts Nova with a shoulder block that sends her to the mat. Milisandre smirks down at her as Nova groans and then pulls Nova up by her hair. She locks Nova back into the headlock but Nova quickly slips out before the move can be locked in and leaps forward and slipping Milisandre into her own headlock. Nova immediately pulls Milisandre up and over with a takedown, snaps back up to her feet and drops a quick elbow on Milisandre’s chest. Back to her feet for another, and then a third. Milisandre rolls away and finds a corner, clutching her chest, her eyes staring daggers at Nova.
Milisandre is back on her feet and the two meet in the middle with a collar-and-elbow tie-up, both women jockeying for position but getting nowhere, their sizes being nearly identical. Milisandre ends up getting backed into a corner, and the ref gets between them to force the break, and Nova backs away cleanly. The two circle again and lock up, each woman still unable to get a position, and this time it is Nova who is back up into a corner. The ref is there to face the break, but then Milisandre reaches up and pokes Nova in the eye above the referee’s head! Nova spins away, her hands to her face, to protect herself, but the Antediluvian Queen pounces on her, grabbing her from behind by the waist and dropping her to the mat. Milisandre drives a few forearms into the small of the back of her opponent, no doubt already thinking about locking in the Decay. With Nova stunned, Milisandre ties up her legs, plants a knee into her back, and rocks back as she clutches her chin, pulling her back into a bow and arrow, her knees digging into Nova’s back painfully. The ref is there to ask if Nova wants to quit, but the redhead shakes her head as her fingers work at the hand on her chin. She is eventually able to rock herself enough to release the pressure and force Milisandre to release the hold.
The Cool Kid doesn’t let Nova breath, though, instead stomping on the small of her back before she can get to her feet. A second stomp. A third. She picks Nova up by her hair and, hooking a leg and her shoulder, flings her over her head with an exploder suplex. Milisandre slinks over for a cover but only gets a 1-count as Nova kicks out. Milisandre gets to her feet and pulls Nova up her by her hair and again hooks her head, this time looking for a vertical suplex. She gets her up and over but Nova flips out and spins, grabbing Milisandre by the waist and rolls her expertly into a schoolboy! Even the referee is surprised by the counter that Milisandre has kicked out before the ref can even start to count.
Milisandre gets to her feet but is immediately met by a spear from a running Nova, her “OOOF!” being heard through the arena. She lands hard and clutches her ribs as Nova is already on her feet again and running up the turnbuckle so fast as to seem like she was flying. Before Milisandre even knows what is happening, Nova is flying through the air and crashing back down on her with an elbow drop straight into her ribs! She makes a cover as the crowd cheers both the athleticism and strategy of the high-flyer. Milisandre kicks out at two, immediately going back to holding her ribs, and Nova is feeling confident. She pulls her opponent to her feet and then brings her right back down with a DDT, spiking Milisandre’s forehead. She goes for another cover and again gets a 2-count but this one far closer to the 3.
Nova pulls Milisandre to her feet and drives a forearm into her head to stun her and then runs for the rope. A leap on the rebound and she flings her legs forward and around Milisandre’s head and takes her over with a headscissors takedown, sending her to the corner. Milisandre tries to shake the cobwebs free and pull herself out of the corner as Nova rushes in, looking for a dropkick. Milisandre pushes herself out of the corner and rolls, forcing Nova to miss her dropkick and crash to the mat. Nova isn’t down long as she gets to her feet and goes after the still stunned Milisandre, but Milisandre is able to slide under the ropes and to the outside. Nova gestures for Milisandre to come back in but, with a smirk, Milisandre reaches under the ropes, grabs Nova’s feet, and pulls hard, tripping her to the mat.
Milisandre climbs back into the ring and drives Nova down with a running STO as soon as she got back to her feet. She wraps up Nova’s hand and pulls as she presses her heels into her side, wrenching back on both her arm and her back at the same time, and then gives a great pull to snap the body parts. In pain, Nova rolls to the side, trying to get a measure of her head, as Milisandre stalks her. Just as Nova shakily gets to her feet, Milisandre hits the ropes and comes back with a high knee, knocking her back down. Milisandre switches tactics and slips down to the mat to lock in an anaconda vice, pulling back an Nova’s head. The ref is there to ask if Nova wants to submit, but she is able to slide her way over to the ropes and latch her feet around the lowest to force a break. Milisandre holds onto the hold, a smirk on her face, until the referee gets to a count of four and then releases.
Milisandre feels like she has the match in hand and drives a few kicks into the small of the back of Nova, doing more damage to set up Decay. Each kick drives Nova closer to the ropes and she is able to slip outside for a breather, but Milisandre follows her. The ref starts to count as Milisandre pushes Nova against the barricade, working on that back, and ten does so again. Milisandre steps back a few paces and then charges forward, but Nova slides out of the way and allows Milisandre to slam into the barricade herself. Nova, moving slower than she was before, climbs the apron and, with a look to make sure Milisandre hadn’t moved, springboards off the middle rope with a huge Asai moonsault! The crowd cheers the spectacular move as Nova lants expertly on her feet, Milisandre having taken the full brunt of the move. Nova pulls Milisandre to her feet and rolls her into the ring before climbing the apron herself. She waits until Milisandre gets to her feet and then springboards into the ring, catching her with a cross body and sending them both crashing to the mat. Nova rolls to the side and smiles as the crowd cheers for the hard-hitting, evenly matched competitors.
Nova picks up Milisandre and sends her into the corner, following with a splash, but the Cool Kid moves out of the way and Nova crashes into the turnbuckle. Milisandre then leaps forward and grabs Nova by the head and looks to drop back for the Bow Down, but Nova is able to hold onto the turnbuckle and Milisandre instead hits the mat hard and gives herself a stinger. Nova wastes no time and climbs the top rope, leaps off with a spin, and comes crashing down with her knees as she hits Milisandre with the Super Nova. She makes a cover and hooks the leg for the three-count and win.}
{The bell rang and Roxy steps out of the ring after being taunted by Stacy Jones. Farrah and Zoey step out on the apron as does Ashley. Angelica and Stacy tie up in the middle of the ring, but Angelica shoves her down on the mat. Stacy sits up appallad. As Angelica walks toward her, Stacy with a legsweep, taking her down to the mat. She’s up to her feet and Stacy clings her arms around Angelica’s waist. Angelica fights out of it with elbows to the face. She grabs Stacy with a side headlock, but Stacy pushes her into the ropes. Stacy runs off the other side, but Roxy with a hair-pull mat slam! Stacy holds her head in pain as Angelica dashes across the ring. She grabs Stacy up by the hair and pounds her face first on the top turnbuckle, tag to Roxy. As Roxy enters the ring, Angelica starts choking her with a cornered foot choke while Farrah and Zoey try to make the save. Roxy enters with kicks to her midsection until Angelica steps out on the apron. As Stacy is placed in the seated position, Roxy walks across the ring and runs at her, but Stacy with a foot up to Roxy’s face! Roxy falls to the mat and crawls to Ashley, making the tag! Stacy gets up to her feet and as Ashley tries running into the ring: spear! She nearly breaks Ashley in half! Zoey and Farrah are both anxiously waiting for the tag!
Stacy tags in Zoey and Zoey makes her way into the ring. She grabs the hair of Ashley and connects with her face on the knee with a vicious facebreaker. She quickly goes for the cover: 1 – 2 – Roxy pulls Zoey off her! Farrah attempts to get into the ring, but Roxy quickly runs to the ring apron. Zoey starts to yell at Roxy who is taunting her. She turns her attention back to Ashley, but Ashley with forearms to the midsection. Zoey clutches her stomach and Ashley flips her overhead with a vertical suplex! She goes for the cover: 1 – 2 – Zoey gets a shoulder up! Ashley pounds her hands on the apron as she pushes herself up off the mat.

As Zoey arches her back off the mat, Farrah emerges in the ring with a running STO! Ashley’s head clunks down on the mat and she goes for the cover: 1 – 2 – Roxy with a running stomach to the back of Farrah to breakup the pin!)
Angelica enters the ring now to slide with Roxy, but she’s met with a spear by Stacy Jones, who starts to follow it up with punches to the face. Roxy grabs an unsuspecting Zoey and throws her shoulder first into Farrah’s midsection. Roxy goes to check on Ashley, but while kneeled beside her—Stacy Jones sprints at her with a shining wizad! Angelica runs up behind Stacy and jumps on her back: she locks in the rear naked chokehold ANGEL DREAM! Stacy falls to the mat and Angelica wraps her legs firmly around her waist. Meanwhile, Zoey and Farrah are whipping Roxy into the ropes, but Roxy ducks below their arms. By this time, Ashley is back up to her feet and meets Zoey with a thunderous kick to the midsection. She hooks the arms and leaps up off the canvas with a pedigree, END GAME! Zoey’s face smashes against the mat as she rolls out of the ring.
Roxy has rolled out of the ring and she walks over to the corner. She is smirking while Farrah turns Ashley around. She whips her into the ropes, but Roxy with a blind tag to Ashley’s back. Not expecting it, Farrah catches Ashley with a toe kick to the gut. She slouches over and she lifts her up with a headscissors DDT—Sudden Stop! Farrah goes for the cover, but the referee is refusing to count. Farrah gets up to her feet and starts to argue with him over him refusing to call. However, Roxy enters the ring and she pulls Ashley away from the middle of the ring. Roxy grabs Fraah from behind and tries for the Muff driver, but Stacy, who still has Angelica on her back trying to choke her out, manages to back into Roxy and topple them all over. The choke is broken but Stacy is on the mat gasping for air. Angelica quickly kicks Stacy out of the ring. Angelica and Roxy now stare at Farrah, who looks around, ready to fight them both. Zoey is able to get up on the outside and snatches Angelica by the ankle and pull her out of the ring. In the ring Roxy charges Farrah who ducks and kicks Roxy in the mid-section. Farrah grabs Roxy in a front face-lock, but Roxy drives her into the corner to counter.
Roxy backs up and charges, but Farrah moves. Roxy moves down the ropes and Ashley tags herself in. Ashley comes in and charges, but Farrah catches her, lifting her up and hitting a stun gun on her. Ashley stumbles out of the corner, only to get caught by Zoey with the Trap Chamber! Farrah dives into the cover as Zoey tackles Roxy and The Angels get the 3 count!}
{The opening sound of the bell sparks Kayla to life as she quickly shoves Katalina back and makes a B-line for the paddle atop the turnbuckle. Just as she begins ascending it, however, Kat grabs hold of her hip and pulls her back. Still keeping hold of the hip, Kat looks to smack a hand down hard across Kayla's backside but she turns kneeing the domina in the gut pushing her away once more. There's a few words shared out by Kayla over the advances of the dominatrix before she looks once more at the paddle. Kat uses this as an opportunity to tackle Kayla down with a spear causing the Dynasty warrior to yelp out in pain. Candi claps politely on the outside as Kat brings Kayla back up to her feet sending her to the opposing corner coming in with a running forearm catching the Dynasty rep across the jaw. Kat then flips Kayla forward with a snapmare and locks in a rear chinlock making certain her fellow Malibuian...Malibuan...Maliban can see the paddle as she whispers playful taunts. Kayla begins to kick and thrash about under Kat's hold as the domina goes to respond with a pointed elbow atop her forehead. However, Kayla manages to catch the arm and twist around taking Kat to the canvas cinching in an armbar grounding the Naughty Girl.
With Kat grounded, Kayla drives her forearm repeatedly against the side of Kat's head until her struggles have become minute in nature. That's when Kayla forces her up while still bending her arm in behind her back and presses her to the turnbuckle where the pole is. Kayla begins to climb pushing her hips against Kat to pin her into place as she continues to climb up to the top. Once her fingertips are touching she finds herself being brought back as Kat has her up on her shoulders. Uncertain what to do at first, Kayla eventually somersaults forward only for Kat to grab her leg once she's on the canvas and goes for a single leg crab. Winters just about manages to push Kat off who comes back around into a drop toe hold slamming her into the canvas. With Kayla now back on top of things, she gets to her feet grabbing Kat by the hair bringing her over to the ropes where she rests her neck along the bottom one and drops her weight across her back choking the Naughty Girl out. Kayla eventually ceases the choke and gets Kat up to the middle rope choking her there for a bit before bending her further over the rope so that her backside is pointed inside the ring. Pleased to have Kat propped and ready, Kayla goes back to the corner only to be distracted when Candi kicks at the stairs on the outside.
This sudden crash wakes Kat back up as she turns surprising Kayla with a running forearm quickly following it up with a face crusher. Kat pauses a moment to scold Candi for almost interfering again as Honey tightens her hold over the leash. Kat then turns back to Kayla who's fighting back now turning things into a slugfest between the two. Kat gets the better of the exchange and ducks an effort from Kayla countering with a DDT. Kayla bounces off the canvas just as quickly as Kat gets to the ropes. She pauses a moment to catch her breath and begins to climb to the top just touching the paddle when she's promptly shoved back down into the ring by Pet!
Pet, who had come from the crowd, now grabs the paddle and tosses it into the ring to the slightly aware Kayla who looks at the paddle and then the redhead grabbing Kat forcing her into a front headlock. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Kayla grabs the paddle and cracks it hard across the domina's backside. The time keeper shrugs and rings the bell assuming that to be the end of the match as Kayla takes a few more shots on the helpless Naughty Girl who cries out. Kayla would keep going but Pet grabs the paddle from her and starts smacking Kat's ass a few times herself while “Rich Bitch” plays out over Kayla's celebration. With Kat down and out, Pet turns to the triumphant Dynasty member looking to smack her with the paddle but quickly vacates once Katie and Jessika arrive to aid their Mistress.
Kayla also leaves the ring not feeling the numbers game here as Chrissy comes to play backup while the four shout out at each other with nothing but ring ropes in between them and their own loosely held wills of self control. Zahara comes out next rushing past Dynasty to check on Kat while Pet watches the carnage spinning the paddle from hand to hand as she heads up the ramp. Zoey locks eyes with her but Pet only kisses the paddle and blows it out to her about to laugh but is cut off from doing so by Amy Jo Smyth who's come out and grab her by the hand and storm into the back with her leaving behind the mass of carnage that is the Naughty Girls and Dynasty slowly getting ready to explode.}
{Backstage. AJ pulls Pet along, who actually looks like she couldn't be happier having her guidance counselor firmly holding her wrist and controlling her movements. At least until Smyth swings her arm up against the wall and shoves a finger in her face. Pet reacts with a playful bite at the finger but there is still a little fear in her eyes.}
AJS: What the fuck was that?
Pet: Revenge.
AJS: Re...
{AJ shakes her head in disbelief.}
Pet: You know what she did!
AJS: That doesn’t make that okay! I told you not to do that. If you wanted to fight her, why didn’t you get in the ring and fight her your-damn-self.
Pet: Because… Because…
{Pet whimpers.}
AJS: How many good god damn times do I gotta tell you that I’m not - not…
{Smyth waves her hand.}
AJS: I had to go out there and get you, to basically stop you and save your ass. I’m not your babysitter, Anya. I’ve got a lot of other things to worry about and it shouldn’t be stopping you from getting your ass kicked. I have my match tonight. I’ve got Gabby coming for me, when she’s actually awake… You should be the least of the my fucking worries.
Pet: But I’m a good girl.
AJS: Not right now you aren’t. Shit, Anya… This can’t go on. I can’t keep doing this. Get your ass back to the dressing room, change, and wait for me.
{Pet whimpers more.}
Pet: But I wanna watch the rest of the show!
AJS: Shoulda thought about that before you acted the way you did. Now go!
{Smyth yells now, pointing her finger down the hallway. Pet sulks and starts slowly walking toward the dressing room.}
Pet: I’m a good girl, right?
AJS: No!
{Pet picks up the pace and disappears, leaving Amy Jo Smyth trying to recover her good manners and find some calm in the world.}
AJS: Imma fix this shit right quick.
{The match began with Kate and Sarah pushing each other back and forth, until they just started trading fists. Kate got the better and sent Sarah reeling, checking her nose as one of Kate’s shots did get through, but it didn’t end up doing as much damage as Sarah may have thought. She nodded and re-entered the ring, again the two trading punches. Kate again gets the better and again knocks Sarah to the floor. This time however, Kate hit a baseball slide and sent Sarah into the first row of ringside. Kate exited the ring and tosses Sarah into the steps and then re-entered the ring, climbing the ropes and diving onto Sarah on the floor. Kate then tossed Sarah back into the ring and climbed the ropes again, but Sarah managed to get up and crotch Kate on the turnbuckle and tie her to the tree of woe. Sarah exited the ring and began to choke Kate as she was hung upside down before re-entered and ramming her whole body into Kate’s as she was hung up. Kate slumped to the canvas as Sarah stood and stomped her on the ground. Sarah then pulled Kate up and just started strangling her in the corner before the official broke it up. Sarah moved back in but Kate stopped her with a kick and more right hands. Kate whipped Sarah into the ropes, ducking her head for a backdrop, but Sarah countered with a kick of her own, and then slammed Kate down on the back of her head by the hair! Sarah followed it up with a knee to the head and covered but Kate kicked out at 2.
Sarah stands and stomped Kate a few times before pulling her up and tossing her into the corner with force. Kate stumbled out, and Sarah shot her across to the other side. Kate hit chest-first and turned into a clothesline from Sarah. Sarah covered again, but Kate kicked out. Sarah instantly went for the left leg of Kate, kicking at it and then leg locking her on the mat. Kate fought out eventually and kicked Sarah away. Kate stood up near the ropes and Sarah charged, but was backdropped over the top rope to the floor. Kate then hit plancha on Sarah on the floor! Kate then got up and tossed Sarah into the ring and springboarded into the ring, but Sarah caught her with a dropkick. Both women got up slowly and Sarah went right back to attacking Kate’s knee, and then wrapped her knee violently around the ring post. Kate howled in pain, much to the delight to Sarah. Sarah re-entered the ring and lifted Kate and placed her facing the crowd on the top turnbuckle. Sarah began to climb, but Kate fought back, eventually elbowing Sarah and sending her falling to the mat. Kate got down and pulled Sarah up and the two exchanged punches. Kate once again got the better until Sarah slipped a knee in. She whipped Kate into the ropes and went for a clothesline, but Kate countered into the wrap-around DDT! Kate covered, but Sarah managed to kick out before 3!
Kate then waited as Sarah stood, hitting the ropes for momentum, and charged, but Sarah countered into a tilt-a-whirl knee breaker! Sarah then pulled Kate up and hooked her, looking for the Abyss, but Kate twisted out and hit a jawbreaker. Kate then mowed Sarah down with a clothesline and climbed to the top rope. She flew off for a hurricanrana but Sarah countered it into a powerbomb! Sarah then locked in a figure four on Kate, continuing to work the knee. Kate screamed in pain, but continued to fight. She desperately clawed at the ropes and eventually was able to reach them. Sarah kept the hold on until the ref counted to 3, and she eventually broke. Sarah then pulled Kate to her feet and tried again for the Abyss, but Kate countered again and locked in a rear naked choke! Sarah struggled and could not break the hold, until eventually She used the ropes to turn it into a pin! Kate let go of the hold just in time to kick out!
Sarah and Kate laid on the mat for a bit before Kate was first to her feet, and boosted herself on the middle rope, she looked for Silence is Golden, but Sarah ran and ducked under the move. Kate flipped and landed on her feet, but her leg gave out and she collapsed on the ground. Sarah smirked and once again went for the figure-four, but Kate countered it into an inside cradle and got the shocking three count!
Kate instantly rolled to the corner as Sarah looked bewildered. Milisandre quickly hit the ring and began attacking Kate and soon Sarah joined in the attack until Crystal Millar hit the ring with a chair and warded off the assault.}
{Amy Jo Smyth is backstage and she walks into Megan Helms King’s office, MHK sipping coffee as Smyth enters.}
MHK: There you are.
AJS: I need to speak to you.
MHK: I need to speak with you, so it seems this is where we speak to each other.
{Smyth is confused for a moment, but regains her wits.}
AJS: Wait… she didn’t make another match did she?
MHK: Oh, you’re “Pet”? No. But I’m going to tell you this right now, Smyth. You keep her out of your matches from now on. I’m not going to have this show ruined because you can’t keep her under control.
AJS: I am handling it. I wanted to tell you not to worry about it.
MHK: I’d hope so. She’s interfering in matches Smyth. I will not have it. She does it again, and it’s not only her that’s getting reprimanded.
{Smyth shrugs, clearly annoyed.}
AJS: I said I’m handling it.
MHK: I heard you. But, in case you don’t follow through on that, I’m going to make a match for your... Pet at LAW 70.
{Smyth's eyes grow wide.}
AJS: Wait, what? She’s not a wrestler! She’s acting out because of… I think this whole thing with Katalina and selling her and I’m trying to piece the whole thing together. But you can’t give her a match!
MHK: Oh, don’t worry, she won’t be wrestling alone.
AJS: You’re fucking kidding me...
MHK: See, Katalina Star and Zoey Madigan are not too fond of Pet, and Pet’s actions. So, at LAW #70, Zoey and Katalina are going to face Pet. And you.
AJS: Fuck.
MHK: She’s your responsibility Smyth. Get your shit together and keep her under control.
AJS: This is horseshit.
MHK: It’s what’s happening. You can show yourself out. You're due up next.
{Amy Jo sneers and glares at Helms-King before turning and leaving. Helms-King chuckles to herself as the scene fades.}
{Each woman stands in their respective corners, waiting for the bell. As soon it dings, they all charge forward, save for Smyth, who only takes one step out before realizing she is the intended target of everyone else. Millar, Tolson, and Mitsuzuka go right for Smyth, the biggest competitor in the match, and start an attack. Millar and Mitsuzuka kick Smyth in the ribs and stomach while Tolson uses an open palm to slap Smyth on the chest. Smyth is able to move forward but finds herself thrown into the opposite corner by Millar and Mitsuzuka. Tolson smashes her with a forearm, Millar hits a corner European uppercut, and Mitsuzuka hits a driving knee. Mitsuzuka pulls Smyth out and the fragile alligency begins to crumble. Mitsuzuka and Tolson start to argue over who gets to control Smyth. Tolson has had enough and sends Mitsuzuka flying with a release belly to belly suplex.
Tolson and Millar now work together, seemingly in agreement. Together, they throw Smyth into the ropes, await her return, and when she does, they slam her down with a double team flapjack. Tolson is the first to go for the cover. Before the ref can get to his knees, Millar is pushing Tolson off of Smyth and hooking the leg. Mitsuzuka dives on the two, crushing them both, and stays down for the cover, pinning both women. The referee hits two when Tolson lands on the growing dogpile. He starts over and gets to two when Smyth comes alive and throws her shoulder up, breaking the pin, and sending the women tumbling.
As the three other women move to the corners, Smyth sits up, clearly dazed but still ready to fight. She’s laughing and smiling as she climbs to her feet. Tolson is the first to act, charging at Smyth with a clothesline. Smyth ducks under and allows the Chaos Champion to slam into an unsuspecting Millar. The Breakout Champion moves now, looking to catch Smyth with something but Smyth is the one who catches her, putting her down with a hip toss. Meanwhile, Sam is tangling with Millar, each one throwing punches. Smyth wraps up Mitsuzuka from behind with a waist lock. Mitsuzuka is able to move, dash up the turnbuckle, swing around, and perform a top-notch elevated tornado DDT. The Breakout Champion goes for the cover on the L.A.W. Champion. Smyth gets her shoulder up at one and three quarters.
On the other end of the ring, the Marquee Champion is able to get control over the Chaos Champion, plants her with a snapmare that is quickly followed up with a running dropkick. Millar covers Tolson. Tolson kicks out at one and seven-eighths. Tolson swings to her feet, lifts Mitsuzuka to her fee. Tolson throws some punches. Mitzusaka answers with a kick, a kick that Tolson grabs and turns into a leg capture suplex.
Tolson is up within seconds and goes for the dueling Smyth and Millar. The Chaos Champion grabs Miller right out from under Smyth and sends her flying with an exploder suplex. When Tolson returns, Smyth is climbing to the second rope. Tolson comes up behind her, locks up, and slams her down with a huge super dragon suplex that bridges into a pin. Smyth wiggles free at two and one half, much to the chagrin and frustration of Tolson. Before Tolson can stand, Millar comes up from behind, kicks her in the spine, and puts her into a cobra clutch sleeper. Smyth rolls out of the ring clutching her back, clearly in pain, while Mitsuzuka climbs up the turnbuckle. Smyth, half aware, grabs the rope, shaking it. Mitzusaka tumbles into the ring, giving Tolson just enough leverage and distraction to break the hold, reverse it into a shoulder lock, and kick her in the stomach. That quickly becomes a swinging neckbreaker that Tolson rolls over into a pin.
Smyth rolls back into the ring, breaks up the pinfall at one and seven-sixteenths. Mitsuzuka has recovered and gets to her feet. The Breakout Champion hits Smyth from behind with a forearm and just as Smyth spins around to meet her assailant, gets clobbered in the face with a fist. Etsuko throws AJ into the corner, chops her numerous times across the chest, the letting out a woo each time, follows that up with a barrage of sharp kicks, and then climbs up the ropes to mount Smyth, locking up her neck with her legs. In an instant, Smyth is sent down to the mat with a pair of head scissors. The L.A.W. Champion sits upright, dazed, only to receive a spin kick to the head. Mitsuzuka goes for the cover, nearly gets to a three but Tolson and Miller break up the count using mirrored elbow drops.
Tolson grabs Mitsuzuka while Miller grabs Smyth. The Marquee Champion hits Smyth with some punches and then throws her into the ropes. When she returns, Smyth has even sense to duck the clothesline and slide through Miller’s legs. Tolson and Mitsuzuka throw right hands that eventually leads to Tolson putting Mitsuzuka down with a German suplex. When Millar turns around, she’s met with a rolling pele kick. Tolson goes for Etsuko but doesn’t get there. Smyth grabs her and hits her with a running cutter. As soon as Smyth stands, Etsuko is running toward her. Smyth spins around, gets behind her, and rolls her up into a tight infinity pin. Millar leaps over but she isn’t in time, failing to break the hold before three. Smyth releases Etsuko, stands, and looks at Tolson and Millar. Like always, she reaches around and gives Millar a good butt pat and the same to Mitsuzuka when gets to her feet. Each woman receives their respective titles back and not to be forgotten, Tolson gets a good game, too, leaving both women laughing.}
{As the match concludes and the crowd cheers the winner, Kenzi calmly gets up and walks to the Time Keeper’s area, plucking a microphone from the table. Roxy and Milisandre join Kenzi, applauding as well. The referee retrieves the LAW Title to hand to the champion, and Kenzi stands aside and waits for the fanfare to die down then taps on the microphone to get the attention of the crowd, clearing her throat as she does.}
Kenzi Grey: Great match guys…really great, now I have a few things to say, if you don’t mind…
{The crowd boos, but she seems unfazed as she continues.}
Kenzi Grey: I want to talk about things that are gross and disgusting in this business. These are things that I am uniquely qualified to speak about because I have done them both, but that chapter of my life is behind me, I recognized that through my faith, and I am better for it. I wish that someone who had more clarity than me…like my good friend Roxy, would have stepped in last year and spoke up to help me. That didn’t happen, but I won’t let that stop me from doing it for someone else.
{Kenzi turned and snatched the Chaos Title from the Time Keeper’s table and the crowd reacted, knowing the history behind her claim to it. Kenzi looked at the title and then looked back into the ring at the ‘champion’ as she was still trying to shake out the cobwebs from her match.}
Kenzi Grey: Sam, don’t worry I’m not here to take back what’s mines…I’m here to remind you that words matter and our actions have very real consequences. Fortunately for you, LAW does not police social media, so the slanderous words you leveled at me…accusing me of driving Ashley Williams to attempt suicide…have no consequences here. All the same, they would and should have consequeces!
{She holds up the Chaos Title for everyone to see.}
Kenzi Grey: A champion of this company should be worthy of respect, because it’s not the title that makes the champion…it’s the person who holds it. Sam Tolson…you aren’t worthy of respect…and you aren’t worthy of this!
{The crowd gasps as Kenzi turns and starts to fling the belt into the rowdy crowd of onlookers, but Roxy grabs her hand, stopping her. Roxy takes the title as she leans into the microphone.}
Roxy Cotton: Kenz…if you’re looking for someone worthy of that title, look no further than right here baby!
{Roxy takes the title, holds it up and immediately makes off with it as Sam finally shakes out the cobwebs and takes off after her. In the midst of the commotion, Kenzi seems unaffected as she turns her attention to Etsuko.}
Kenzi Grey: Etsuko, I told you I was coming for that Breakout Title…and now I am here to show you that I am a woman of my word, I…
{Kenzi reached over to grab the Breakout Title, but it was gone and now in the hands of Milisandre. Kenzi reaches for it, and Milisandre moves it away, ever so subtly. Kenzi frowns, as she drops the microphone and glares at her Cool Kid ally, the two sharing a heated conversation, much to the delight of the fans. A tug of war ensues with the title as the fans chant “FIGHT!” “FIGHT!” “FIGHT!” As pandemonium ensues, Etsuko charges outside and a massive brawl breaks out as Security tries to separate them. The brawl is so out of control that the ringside area is literally torn apart. The show goes to static as the camera men are knocked over.}
