Felicia Luck, Black Diamond & Danger Mushashibo [46] The Experience def. 2 San Diego Girls [51] On commentary: Alfonso Garcia & Joanne 'JRO' Rodriguez Garcia: QAW faithful welcome to a sold out Oxford Arena for World Summit-a-go-go! We are so happy to have you with us tonight for some world class wrestling and entertainment! By my side, the legendary Joanna "JRO" Rodriguez! JRO: Thank you Alfonso! I cannot wait to call the action tonight! Garcia: We'll be seeing Tex-Mex putting their careers on the line for a shot at the tag team championships! Tex-Mex say they've been overlooked for too long and this is their last resort to be seen! Such a shame that a talented tag team feels so underappreciated. And they have a point! JRO: They do? I think Commissioner Bomb has the right idea! She's working to put on the best show possible and Tex-Mex aren't draws. It's that simple. I think its commendable that Lilly & Rose are willing to give them this limelight one last time and then they can move onto true competition in the form of the number one contenders, The Uprising! Garcia: I strongly disagree! JRO: Well, that's why you're here and not doing the booking! We'll also witness our World Champion Suzanne Brazzle taking on her protoge Helene Svennson with the championship on the line! Helene is here with her TV crew and she'll be hoping to walk out tonight as champion... Garcia: And most importantly for World Summit we have our World Summit matches! Five-on-five elimination tag matches with big rewards for the survivors. Our main event tonight see's team captains Emma May and Foxxy Larue clashing... Well, Foxxy is injured but her team will be! JRO: And our opening match which is about to start is a lucha libre dream match. The biggest luchadoras in all of Mexico have gathered under the leadership of Pinky Perez and Maribel Mercado, and are ready to battle it out for supremacy! Let's go! World Summit Match Team Tecnica "The Mexican Ace" Pinky Perez, Mariana Torres, Electric Dreamer, Ursula Saez & Estrella Blanca Vs. Team Ruda Maribel Mercado, Purple Viper, Celeste Moon, El Hija Del Diablo & Queen Amazon Pinky Perez and Maribel Mercado kick things off for their respective teams. The tension between them is palpable. Pinky uses her lightning-fast agility to evade Maribel's dirty tricks and lands a beautiful hurricanrana, sending Maribel reeling. Maribel, not one to play fair, attempts to use the ropes for leverage during a pinfall, but the referee catches her in the act and reads her the riot act. Pinky takes advantage and rolls her up for several close two-counts. Maribel retreats to her corner looking sheepish. Electric Dreamer and La Hija Del Diablo are tagged in. Both women put on a typical lucha libre exchange that draws applause from the crowd. Electric's high-flying maneuvers garner the bigger reaction as she wears down Diablo. But, out of nowhere, Queen Amazon wipes Dreamer out with a lariat that turns her inside out. Diablo goes for the pin, but Dreamer kicks out just in time, much to the shock of Diablo and Amazon. The crowd urges Dreamer on as she attempts a comeback. She uses Diablo's momentum against her and stacks her up for a pin, securing the three-count. La Hija Del Diablo is eliminated. Purple Viper enters with a sinister grin, ready to unleash chaos. She stalks Electric Dreamer, preparing to blind her with her venomous mist. Dreamer narrowly dodges the mist attack, instead Viper inadvertently sprays her own partner, Celeste Moon, who was eagerly waiting on the apron. Celeste Moon is incapacitated. In the confusion, Electric Dreamer capitalizes with a swift roll-up on Purple Viper, eliminating her with a three-count. Queen Amazon replaces Viper and quickly overpowers Dreamer with thunderous slams and suplexes. The odds seem against a tired Dreamer, but her determination shines through as she counters an "Amazonian Bomb" [Sit-out powerbomb] with another roll-up, but Amazon cuts her off and powers her up into another Amazonian Bomb, driving Dreamer into the mat for a shocking elimination. Ursula Saez enters the match and trades clubbing forearms with Amazon in the centre of the ring. Ursula charges forward, attempting to shoulder tackle Queen Amazon, but the ruda powerhouse refuses to go down. Ursula rallies the crowd and takes Amazon down with a hard spear for a close two-count. Ursula works over Amazon but suffers a cheap shot from the outside from Celeste Moon. This momentary distraction is enough for Amazon to ambush Ursula and nail her with an Amazonian Bomb for the three-count. An exhausted Queen Amazon tags out to Celeste Moon, who clashes with Mariana Torres in an aggressive lockup. Celeste fights with an almost unhinged aggression and batters Mariana with everything she has. The fight goes to the mat as Celeste seeks a rear naked choke. Mariana stays in the match and makes the ropes. Celeste refuses to break the hold, resulting in the referee having to intervene physically. In the commotion, Mariana lunges for Celeste's mask and seemingly rubs more of Purple Viper's poisonous mist into her eyes, leaving her helpless. Mariana hits a tight Fisherwoman's suplex and holds on for the three-count. At this point, Maribel Mercado becomes irate and barks instructions at Queen Amazon to get back in as Mariana tags in Estrella Blanca. The two luchadoras put on a classic David and Goliath showing, with Blanca using effective hit-and-runs on the much slower Amazon. At one point, Amazon is sent over the top rope to the outside and is flattened into the barricade by a series of tope suicidas from Pinky, Mariana, and Blanca in turn. As Queen Amazon slowly gets to her feet, Blanca takes to the top rope, signalling a high-risk dive, but is shoved from the top rope by Maribel all the way to the floor below. Amazon rolls into the ring as Maribel tosses a woozy Blanca into the ring after her, where she is unable to kick out of an Amazonian Bomb. Pinky charges the ring this time and takes the fight to Queen Amazon, who is unable to put up much of a fight. Pinky hits a hard kick to the mid-section and looks to hit a powerbomb of her own but is interrupted by Maribel, who clocks her in the back of the neck with the COTT championship. The referee angrily pushes Maribel back into her corner as she barks instructions at Queen Amazon, and she obliges by nailing Pinky with an Amazonian Bomb. 1... 2... --NO! Pinky gets her shoulder up just in time! Amazon sits there in disbelief for a fraction too long, and Mariana hits her flush in the face with a basement drop kick. Things break down further when Maribel chucks Mariana from the ring and proceeds to launch her into the steel steps multiple times. Back inside the ring, Amazon sets Pinky up for another Amazonian Bomb, but this time Pinky over rotates, landing on her feet, and retaliates with a stiff palm strike to the jaw. In an amazing feat of strength, she hits the Pink Butterfly Bomb [Tiger Driver] for the three-count. Maribel becomes incensed at this elimination and pounces on Pinky, mauling her with punches and kicks. There is little Pinky can do to withstand the onslaught, particularly with Mariana taken out on the outside. Maribel pounds Pinky's face into the turnbuckle and decides to remove one of the pads for good measure, prompting the referee to snatch it away and attempt to reattach it. On cue, Maribel applies a Full Nelson on Pinky, and Purple Viper re-emerges and slithers into the ring. Pinky tries to break the hold, but Maribel has it in tight. "Do it! Do it now!" seethes Maribel. Purple Viper inhales deeply and sprays black mist. But, in that split second, Mariana pushes Pinky out of the way, taking the black mist in the face herself. Mariana writhes around in the ring, shrieking in pain. Pinky fires up and clotheslines Viper and Maribel to the ground. The referee tends to Mariana as Pinky hops up to the top rope, undeterred by what happened to her tag partner. In an amazing display of skill, Pinky lands a first-time-ever move in QAW, a Shooting Star press onto Maribel, and takes the victory home for herself and Mariana. After the match, Pinky tends to Mariana alongside the referee, who is urgently pouring water into Mariana's eyes. Winners: Team Tecnica [Survivors: Pinky & Mariana] 14:57 [57] Decent match with little heat Got the show off to strong start Pinky stood out Garcia: Mariana looks like she is in agony! That black mist must be lethal! JRO: Rumour has it black mist is the most potent of them all... Hopefully she hasn't suffered any lasting damage! Garcia: I do too! A big win for Pinky Perez and Mariana Torres as the sole survivors! You have to think this will play into their ongoing feud with COTT champion Maribel Mercado! Commissioner Bomb makes her way out to the ring for an announcement. She invites the Fallen Angels to join her in the ring... Debbie Rose, Kate Lilly, Suzanne Brazzle, Commissioner Bomb Steph Blake & Christy Higgins Bomb: QAW faithful, tonight, it is my pleasure to welcome you to World Summit! This is where the best and brightest wrestling stars from across the world come to Queens of American Wrestling to test their might. I am proud to be joined in the ring right now with QAW’s champions and the most dominant faction in QAW herstory—the Fallen Angels! [In unison, the Fallen Angels raise their championship belts as Steph Blake folds her arms menacingly] Bomb: Now, it is no secret that the Fallen Angels have a vision for the future of QAW, and their success and domination make for a compelling argument. So, in the name of progress, why not test their idea? In the absence of Farrah Hesketh, I have made the decision to commission a one-night special event next month, which the Fallen Angels will produce and book! [The crowd cheers at first, but there is also an uneasy murmur— the Fallen Angels clap the announcement enthusiastically before Bomb passes the microphone to Suzanne] Brazzle: It is my pleasure to announce that next month, QAW and the Fallen Angels will host "Ascension" right here in Texas! I have every faith that we will show each and every one of you that our vision of a new QAW, remade in our image, with our ideas at the forefront, is exactly what you want to see! You will all be converted to the cause. [Suzanne smiles sinisterly as the crowd boos] Brazzle: I understand you are afraid of change. You have grown accustomed to something that is substandard because you don’t know any better. The likes of Alina America, Danielle Sweetheart, Emma May, Tex-Mex, and Pamela Rojo have rotted your brains, and it’s time you tried something new! There is true talent out there waiting for an opportunity, so open your minds to the possibility that there is something better. Allow me to show you the way! [39] The segment got the crowd hotter Garcia: Why on earth do the Fallen Angels need to produce their own show on QAW's dime? If they think it's so bad here then why not leave? JRO: Leave? And go where? Thanks to QAW there is no other women's wrestling promotions left in the United States. The women's wrestling scene is in survival mode right now and we have to ensure we are appealing to as many people as possible! Not everyone wants to see this lucha libre, flippity-floppin g around and sad stories like Pamela Rojo and Danielle Sweetheart stinking up the place. Garcia: I disagree! You can't say that about the women that built this company. QAW World Championship Singles Match /with "Miraculous" Suzanne Brazzle © w/ Steph Blake Vs. Helene Svennson The match began with Suzanne and Helene circling each other, their eyes reflecting a shared history and camaraderie. They were former allies, and their paths had converged once again. As the bell rang, they engaged in a technical display of chain wrestling, each countering the other's moves with ease. It was evident that they knew each other's styles inside and out. Suzanne, having trained Helene in the past, had an early advantage, anticipating her former protegé's every move. She demonstrated her superior knowledge of Helene’s techniques, countering her signature armdrags and hip tosses. The crowd applauded the chemistry, even as Suzanne maintained the upper hand. With a determined glint in her eye, Suzanne took the fight to the mat and eventually locked in a side headlock, trying to wear down her high-energy opponent. Helene, showing her flexibility, managed to escape the hold and countered with a leg-lock around Suzanne’s head. Suzanne maneuvered expertly and escaped the hold with a headstand, leaving Helen staring at her in shock. As the match progressed, Suzanne continued her display of technical prowess, tossing Helene around the ring with suplexes. After a particularly nasty-looking one, Helene clutched her back in pain. Seizing the opportunity, Suzanne lifted Helene into a backbreaker, further straining her opponent's spine. But Helene was not to be underestimated. She found an opening and, to everyone's surprise, executed a jaw-dropping dropkick, catching Suzanne off guard. The fans erupted in cheers as Helene unleashed a flurry of high-energy moves, finally landing a bulldog and a series of arm-drags that sent Suzanne reeling. It seemed as though Helene had managed to turn the tables and gain a surge of momentum. As the contest entered its later stages, a sense of tension hung in the air. It was clear that Suzanne had grown frustrated with her former trainee's resilience, and the mutual respect that had defined the early moments of the match began to wane. In a shocking turn of events, Suzanne decided to show her true colours. She feigned an offer of a handshake, but when Helene extended her hand, Michelle delivered a vicious slap across her face. The crowd gasped in disbelief as Helene clutched her face. Before she could retaliate, Suzanne mauled her with more slaps, forcing her into the corner. The referee intervened, and Suzanne backed away with her arms in surrender. Seeing red, Helene charged forward swinging wildly but missed her target. With a handful of hair, Suzanne yanked Helen backward and spun her into the “Miracle Connection” [Michinoku Driver], driving the back of Helene’s head into the mat for the victory. After the match, Suzanne gloated with the championship, calling attention to Helene’s camera crew and standing with her foot on Helene’s chest. Winner: Suzanne via pin 14:17 -- Defences: 4 [51] A match with decent reaction Got the crowd hotter JRO: Wow! With that impressive victory Suzanne is only just 5 defences, and 5 months, from achieving her goal of having the greatest QAW World championship reign of all time! Garcia: Is a reign not also defined by the quality of defences and their conduct as champion? Suzanne has padded out her defences and regularly bends the rules to win! We join Team Foxxy backstage in the promo area... Ashley Keith, Hellcat Hernandez, Toni Parisi Vinny Cruz, Foxxy Larue & Christy Higgins Foxxy: Alright, now let's talk turkey, babies! I'm sweatin' bullets being on the sidelines tonight, but this team we've got, it's like a mixtape of pure dynamite. We got Ronin3, the baddest fighters you'll ever lay eyes on. The Fallen Angel and Shockwave Champ herself. The leader of the Clenched Fist and wrestling royalty! This right here, this ain't a gang. This is a full-blown revolution, and we're storming the castle tonight! [Foxxy smirks] Foxxy: Emma May, you've got a mixed bag of nuts on your side. … That pipsqueak Yuma Maruya? She's in for a real wake-up call when Tameka Sky takes her for a ride. As for Alina America, she's talkin' a big game, but after Hellcat and Ashley do their thing, she'll be wishin' she was back in fairy tale land. Juana Hurricane, leader of the least relevant faction in QAW – no wonder you're graspin' at straws. And last but not least Emma May herself… Abandoned by her squad. They all bailed on you when you needed them most, and now you're stuck with a ragtag group. You're outta your league, sister. [Suddenly, Christy steps up and grabs the mic] Higgins: And don't get me started on your mystery partner [everyone scoffs at the mention]. When I'm through with them, they'll be seeing stars after I slam their head into the mat with the Florida Upswing! [Foxxy gives Christy an approving nod before taking the mic back] Foxxy: That's right, sugar. Your mystery partner is just another sign that you're desperate. I don't give a damn who you've scraped together for your squad because tonight, it's lights out for Team Emma. Facts are facts, baby. [54] Foxxy performed and came across well, her catachphrase helped Toni and Vinny had good chemistry, Vinny helped with the promo Toni improvised well Hellcat did a masteful job Ashley performed well Christy was superb, had the crowd in the palm of her hand Compliements all around! We join the commentary team as Pamela Rojo makes her entrance... Garcia: Switching gears now, we're about to witness Pamela Rojo's final hurdle towards Suzanne Brazzle and the QAW World Championship. You can say what you want about Pamela, and I'm sure you're about to JRO, but she really has risen to Suzanne's challenge. She has defeated the submission expert Paige Croft. The longest reigning Shockwave champion Little Miss Perfect. And, the current Shockwave champion Christy Higgins. JRO: Yes, she has momentum. But she hasn't risen to Suzanne's challenge entirely. And let's remind ourselves why Suzanne set this gauntlet in the first place. Pamela is not world championship material. She was used to usher in Suzanne's reign because that's her role in life. Much like Tex-Mex-- a supporting player. Now, she has become even more bitter and entitled. So, I agree, Pamela has to prove herself for this prestigious opportunity. And tonight, she has the biggest challenge to date... Singles Match "Red Alert" Pamela Rojo Vs. Gorgon The arena was filled with a charged atmosphere, as the crowd anxiously awaited the reveal of Pamela’s mystery opponent. Unfamiliar music filled the arena but everyone in attendance exploded in cheers when the woman known as Gorgon marched out of the curtain. A colossal force in women’s wrestling and former champion in 5SSW, AAA, and USPW. The match began with an intense stare down. Pamela Rojo, a symbol of QAW, met the formidable Gorgon with an unyielding spirit. The crowd watched in awe as these two titans squared off, each daring the other to make the first move. When the bell finally rang, it was clear that they were about to bear witness to an all-out brawl of epic proportions. Pamela lunged forward with a fiery determination. She launched powerful forearm strikes at Gorgon then resorting to hard chops which Gorgon absorbed with a smile. With a simple shove Gorgon cut off the attack. Pamela went in again this time aiming to showcase her strength with a scoop slam. However, Gorgon’s power was undeniable as she did not budge an inch before smashing Rojo to the mat with a clubbing blow. Gorgon’s dominance was evident in her every move. She executed thunderous chops that sounded like cannon shots and whipped Rojo around the ring by her hair as if she was a rag-doll. The crowd urged Rojo on but collectively winced when Gorgon hoisted Rojo into the air and drove her down with a ring-shaking Samoan Drop. Yet, Pamela was not to be underestimated. Rallied by the crowd, she absorbed the punishment and retaliated at every turn with savvy. She adopted a hit-and-run approach, delivering hard kicks to Gorgon’s legs and running the ropes to gain momentum for clotheslines and drop kicks-- but still, she couldn’t get Gorgon off her feet. Undeterred, Pamela powered Gorgon over with a suplex that shook the ring. The crowd cheered as both wrestlers lay motionless, Pamela breathing heavily. Finally, Pamela crawled over to Gorgon and lay across her for the pin, but Gorgon pushed Rojo off with her with such force at she momentarily took flight. The crowd was left in disbelief. As the match reached its climax, Gorgon, appeared nigh invincible as she continued to muscle Rojo around the ring and mow her down at every opportunity. She countered Rojo’s “Big Red” [powerslam] attempt, a move that had sealed the fate of every opponent thus far, with a terrifying piledriver. Strangely, Gorgon did not make a cover and opted to toss Pamela out of the ring instead where she proceeded to bully her around the ringside area slamming her into the guardrails and ring apron. Eventually, Rojo fired up and returned the attack and things deteriorated into an ugly and violent brawl. As the referee’s count reached ten, signifying a double count-out, it was clear neither woman was willing to accept defeat. The continued their brutal exchange, slapping and punching each other with no mercy as security struggled to separate them. Winner: Double count-out, draw 11:45 [53] Decent match The arena is in chaos as Pamela and Gorgon brawl mercilessly at ringside and then back inside the ring. Security is struggling to contain them, but both women are relentless. The crowd is in a frenzy chanting “Let them fight!”. Suddenly, the eerie music of Suzanne Brazzle hits, and the crowd's reaction changes. The QAW World Champion steps onto the stage. She wears an unnerving smile... Brazzle: Well, well, well... isn't this quite the spectacle! [Suzanne addresses Pamela, who's locked in a brutal struggle with Gorgon. They're both briefly separated by security, but their eyes remain locked, filled with animosity] Brazzle: (Sinisterly) Pamela Rojo, my dear, we mustn’t forget the rules, must we? You needed to win your matches, all of them, to earn a shot at MY title. But, alas, a double count-out… It hardly counts as a win, does it? [The crowd remains hushed, captivated by Suzanne's chilling demeanour] Brazzle: (Smiling) Fortunately for you, I am feeling diplomatic. I have a proposition for you. What are you willing to sacrifice, my dear Pamela, for the chance to face me? [Before Pamela can respond, the stage lights shine on a shadowy figure, Steph Blake, who drags out a half-conscious Miss Mexico. Miss Mexico shows signs of a brutal backstage beatdown, and the crowd gasps] Brazzle: Oh, Pamela, it seems that we are not alone in this little negotiation... [Steph Blake holds a pair of scissors menacingly close to Miss Mexico's signature red hair] Brazzle: I've been thinking about my goals in QAW, and yours as well, Pamela. You are the "Queen of the Ring" unable to reach the pinnacle. The QAW faithful, they see you as a symbol of perseverance, of overcoming inadequacies. I understand that. You've embodied their hopes. But, for me to achieve my goals, I must extinguish that symbol. It's time for the QAW faithful to find new symbols, better ones, like me. So, you can have your match, but I want something in return—your hair. A poetic gesture, don't you think? You've had this defining hair for over a decade and I want to be the one that cuts it away in front of the QAW faithful. I'm going to embarrass you to the point the QAW faithful will never, ever, see you in the same way again. So at Ascension it'll be a "Hair vs. Title" match in the main event... And if you don't agree… well, then I might have to cut away your friend's hair instead. [Pamela’s expression is a mix of determination and conflict. She nods in agreement and calls for a mic but suddenly, Gorgon, strikes from behind and lays Pamela out with the "Hydra Bomb" [Choke Bomb]. Suzanne’s eerie smile never wavers as her plan unfolds before their eyes] Brazzle: I’ll take that as a yes. Steph? Cut it anyway. [At Suzanne’s instruction, Steph cuts a large lock from Miss Mexico’s hair anyway and hands it to a gleeful Suzanne who clutches it in a fist and raises it in the air alongside the QAW World Championship] [43] Suzanne performed well Steph performed well Pamela performed well Miss Mexico struggled Garcia: That was one of the lowest things I have ever seen! Suzanne pretends she is this force of positive change but she is absolutely toxic! How was that any type of negotiation? JRO: Suzanne IS a force for positive change. She's just secured an excellent main event for Ascension. Pamela needed to put something on the line to earn that match, and Suzanne helped her do that. I think it'll be a very fitting end to Ascension for Suzanne Brazzle to shave the head of such a QAW mainstay! QAW World Tag Team Championship Tag Team Match Lilly & Rose © Vs. Tex-Mex The crowed was on their feet for the high-stakes tag championship match. In one corner, the passionate QAW veterans Tex-Mex, with their careers hanging in the balance. In the other, the cocky champions Lilly & Rose. Houston and Debbie started the match for their respective teams. The tension is thick, and Houston displayed unusual aggression to save her career and win the titles. She charged at Debbie, but Debbie flaunted her arrogance with a smirk and retreated to the ropes with each attack. After some stalling from Debbie, the pair engaged in a collar-and-elbow- tie up. The two women jostled for control, but it was Houston who pulled off a skilled arm wringer followed up with a short arm clothesline. Debbie found herself on the defensive as Houston smothered her on the mat and transitioned from one hold to another, displaying her years of experience. Debbie, however, managed to break free with a well-placed knee to Houston's midsection. She capitalised with a quick DDT and proceeded to taunt the crowd, revelling in her advantage. Debbie tagged in Kate who came in like a whirlwind and engaged in a fast-paced exchange with Houston. Kate’s lightning-quick dropkicks and acrobatic reversals kept Houston on the back foot but she relied well on her hard-hitting style to create opportunities. One such opportunity arose after Kate telegraphed a running cross-body and Houston simply forearmed Kate in the stomach leaving her crumpled on the mat. This allowed Teresa to tag in and Tex-Mex executed three double suplexes as Debbie angrily protested at the referee. Tex-Mex continued to built their momentum. A pivotal moment came when Houston scored her signature “Houston’s Problem” pump kick, but due to being shorter than Kate, hit her square in the chest with such force that it sent Kate into the ropes and out the ring. As Kate regained composure, Teresa dropped from the apron to get her back into the ring. Debbie sneakily introduced one of the title belts into the equation, unbeknownst to the referee. As Houston was getting ready to make her next move, Debbie swung the title back with precision, clobbering Houston in the back of the head. The impact was jarring, and Houston crumped to the canvas, seemingly out of commission. The referee, oblivious to Debbie’s tactics maintained her focus on the action happening outside of the ring. Teresa rolled Kate back into the ring who immediately tagged in Debbie who swooped in on Houston and made the cover to secure the three-count despite Teresa being a fraction of second away from breaking the pin. Lilly & Rose quickly exited the ring and gloated from the entranceway with the titles as a distraught Teresa cradled Houston in her arms-- their QAW careers now over. Winners: Lilly & Rose via pin 12:59 -- Defences: 2 [49] Decent match Garcia: I can't believe it! This is just... Awful! JRO: I can! Lilly & Rose are simply the best tag team in the world and Tex-Mex were moronic in their challenge. They took a big gamble and it did not pay off! No one forced them... Garcia: That is debatable! They did what they felt necessary to be given the respect they deserve around here in QAW. JRO: Well, look at how that worked out. And now they are gone from QAW and new, fresher teams can come in and challenge Lilly & Rose. The only way is up! Garcia: Have you always been this unpleasant?! We join team Emma May backstage in the promo area... Juana Hurricane, Alina America, Emma May & Yuma Maruya Alina: Dearest QAW faithful, my adoring fans! It is I Alina America-- the face of QAW! And I am standing before you today filled with passion, ready to take the fight to the evil doers that plague QAW. Ronin3, The Clenched Fist, and Fallen Angels have made it clear they have no respect for the sport of lucha libre and QAW. If it were up to them QAW would be full of cheating, bribery and intimidation. I cannot stand by and allow that to happen to my beloved home. In my quest to take revenge on Hellcat Hernandez and Ashley Keith for what they did to myself and Danielle Sweetheart means I find myself in a situation where the enemy of my enemy is my friend... [Alina grimaces in Emma’s direction]. [Emma stops pacing and snatches the microphone from Alina] Emma: Why do you have to be so dramatic all the time?! I don’t give a damn about whatever crap is being stirred up by the other factions. I care about three things: Winning, regaining my championship, and getting my hands on Foxxy Larue. Foxxy, you’re lucky I only fucked up your elbow the last time we met in the ring. Next time I get my hands on you it’s going to be much worse. Tonight, I have to settle for beating the crap out of your lackeys but believe me every second of the World Summit I’ll be picturing your face on theirs. [Alina slowly takes the mic away from Emma who has turned bright red during her promo] Alina: Okay! I think we get the picture! Now, let us prepare and retrieve our special guest. She should be arriving now. [Yuma Maruya, who has not understood a word, steps forward beaming from ear to ear] Yuma: Check it out! [Yuma giggles and gives a thumbs up at Emma May who scoffs and walks away] World Summit Match /with Team Emma May Juana Hurricane, "The Face of QAW" Alina America, "World Class" Emma May, Yuma Maruya & Melody Vs. Team Foxxy Larue "The Queen of Professional Wrestling" Ashley Keith, Hellcat Hernandez, Tameka Sky, Toni "New York" Parisi & Christy Higgins w/ "Ultimate" Foxxy Larue The crowd popped huge for the debuting Melody. A former five time USPW Women’s World Champion who was already making waves in the independent scene capturing the FCW and PSW women’s championships. Melody looked every inch the superstar wearing a golden robe and she made a point to shake the hands of each of her partners. Team Foxxy exchanged nervous glances in the ring as Foxxy threw a fit at Christy --“You must have known about this! Bomb is booking the matches!” she screamed. As the two teams took their positions, Foxxy’s attention turned to Emma May, and the two got into a heated argument. Things looked they were about to get physical until the giant Tameka Sky planted herself between them. The match begins with Yuma and Hellcat in the ring. They lock up in a traditional collar-and-elbow tie-up. Hellcat quickly overpowers Yuma and resorts to some dirty tactics, poking Yuma in the eye. Hellcat delivers a relentless series of punches, displaying an extremely aggressive side. Yuma manages to counter with a unique rolling savate kick, sending Hellcat reeling. Yuma keeps the pressure on Hellcat with running drop kicks before tagging in Juana. She and Hellcat have no love loss and engage in a series of aggressive technical exchanges. Hellcat tries to transition into a brawl, throwing stiff punches, but Juana manages to secure a waist lock takedown, keeping Hellcat grounded. Hellcat counters with a head scissors, but Juana kips up and hits a basement dropkick for a two count. Juana goes for her submission finisher, but Hellcat powers out and drags Juana into the ropes throat first. She tags in Christy Higgins. She quickly scales the turnbuckle and executes a top-rope hurricanrana on Juana. She goes for a cover, but Juana kicks out at two. Christy, oozing with confidence, taunts the crowd giving Juana valuable breathing space. Foxxy yells at Christy to focus but it’s too late and she walks into a snap suplex. Juana tags in Alina. Alina showcases her athleticism with a backflip elbow drop followed by a standing moonsault. Alina rallies the crowd behind her and finishes Christy off with a picture perfect lionsault. A pissed off Hellcat charges in but Alina is ready with a dazzling roundhouse kick that sends Hellcat to the mat. Alina follows with another lionsault, but Hellcat narrowly kicks out. Alina continues her attack with a flashy spinning heel kick for another close call. Emma May gets tagged in, and she enters the ring with a flurry of judo throws and punches. Hellcat manages to create some separation and tags in Ashley Keith. The crowd pops for this match up and the two women start exchanging chops, with Ashley gaining the upper hand. She launches Emma across the ring with a T-Bone suplex and follows with a rough looking knee drop to the face for a two-count. Ashley keeps the pressure on Emma [as Foxxy trash talks Emma from ringside] but can’t resist playing to the crowd. Out of nowhere Emma locks Ashley in a flying armbar, but Ashley reaches the ropes before it becomes locked in. Emma rolls to her corner and makes the tag to Melody! The crowd erupts with excitement as Emma and Melody execute a double suplex on Ashley, followed by a sharp kick to the back from Melody. This infuriates Ashley who gets in Melody’s face and the two women are nose-to-nose. Ashley focuses on power and tries to overpower Melody. But, Melody has fought bigger and badder women at this stage of her career and hangs in there. She shows off her agility with a surprising dropkick to the face that staggers Ashley. They engage in a technical exchange for several more minutes, until Melody catches Ashley with the “Melody Maker” [Back suplex pin], pinning Ashley and eliminating her. Melody tags out to Juana leaving her to face former tag partner Toni Parisi, and the two women exchange stiff punches and forearms. Toni gains the upper hand with a thumb to the eye and brutal clothesline. She attempts a powerbomb, but Juana counters with a punches to the head forcing Toni to drop her down. Juana capitalises with a spear and applies the "Time-Square Lock" [Arm-trap Texas Cloverleaf], forcing Toni to submit. Foxxy is beside herself at ringside cursing at fans and Team Emma who remain intact. However, Tameka Sky charges the ring and effortlessly throws Juana across the ring and begins slamming her to the mat with resounding thuds. Juana’s resilience keeps her in the fight, countering with sharp kicks here and there, but nothing that meaningfully halts Tameka’s momentum. Tameka hoists Juana in the air for a delayed vertical suplex that rattles the ring. Hellcat calls for the tag, eager to gain a measure of revenge on Juana, which Tameka obliges. Hellcat mounts Juana and lays in hard forearm shots before locking in a Bulldog choke, putting immense pressure on Juana’s neck and back. The pain becomes unbearable, and Juana appears unable to respond to the referee’s questions, causing her to call stoppage for Juana. Yuma replaces Juana but Hellcat opts to tag back out to Tameka. The size difference between the two women is visually arresting but Yuma is no slouch. Yuma stuck to high flying moves and attempted to bring Tameka down with a series of flying forearms and a head scissors, but Tameka’s incredible size was insurmountable. Tameka catches Yuma mid-air and transitions into the “Sky High” Chokeslam. The impact is so severe that Yuma lays gasping for air. The referee counts to three, eliminating Yuma from the match. With Juana and Yuma eliminated, the odds begin to even out. Emma takes the lead, attempting to grapple with the powerhouse Tameka. Emma does her best but Tameka defends using sheer power dumping Emma around the ring. Alina and Melody realise they need to work together to tip the scales in their favour. Melody darts in with a quick dropkick to Tameka’s knee, causing her to stumble. Alina, seizing the opportunity, delivers a missile dropkick from the top rope to Tameka’s face. The giant teeters, and this is the opening they’ve been waiting for. Melody and Emma deliver a double DDT, stunning Tameka and she falls to her knees dazed. Emma locks Tameka in a Triangle Choke and wrenches with all her might. The crowd cheer relentlessly for a tap out but Tameka amazingly powers Emma up and slams her back down to the mat. Both women are down but Emma makes the tag to Alina who is ready for her moment of glory. She ascends the turnbuckle and lands her signature split-legged moonsault on Tameka. Emma and Melody quickly join Alina for the pin, and Tameka is eliminated. Hellcat is left alone against Alina, Melody, and Emma. The crowd is still firmly behind the tecnico team, hoping to see Hellcat get her just desserts. Hellcat spews venomous words at her opponents, taunting them. Despite being outnumbered, she refuses to back down. Emma, launches a vicious takedown and maintains control with a barrage of ground and pound. Hellcat attempts to fend her off by reaching the ropes but Alina and Melody have her cornered. They deliver a dual superkick, rattling Hellcat. Melody hits an exploder suplex for good measure and leaves Emma to pick the bones by locking in an armbar. She has it in tight, forcing Hellcat’s arm to bend at an unnatural angle. Hellcat, determined to resist, strains against the pain, but the hold is too much to bear. Hellcat reluctantly taps out. The crowd erupts in cheers as Emma, Melody and Alina stands victorious, having defeated Team Foxxy in such a decisive way. Foxxy herself is distraught at ringside. She noticeably has sharp words for JRO on commentary alluding to The Fallen Angels withholding information about Melody’s involvement in the match.

Road to World Summit 4 Date: Tues W4 May 2021 Location: Oxford Arena, Texas [Mid South] Attendance: 1000 SELL OUT! Broadcast on Wrestleworld: 19,856viewers Dark matches: Storm Front [Sonnaz & Alexis] def. Millie the Minx & Raquel Alvarado [43] Ash Grover, Darkness Cat & Estrella Blanca def. Felicia Luck, Black Diamond & Danger Mushashibo [47] Singles Match Mariana Torres Vs. Purple Viper Mariana and Viper circle each other inside the wrestling ring, going through a feeling-out process and exchanging swift chain wrestling sequences, showcasing their lucha libre heritage. Mariana gains the upper hand, executing a series of arm drag takedowns and precision dropkicks. Viper, never one to play fair, ruthlessly rakes Mariana's eyes and snaps her neck down on the ropes. Mariana winces in agony, blindsided by Viper's underhanded tactics. Capitalizing on Mariana's vulnerability, Viper targets Mariana's neck with clubbing blows and a shoulder breaker. She taunts the crowd, reveling in the chorus of boos as she takes control of the match. Mariana remains resolute, countering a body slam by sliding over Viper's back into a roll-up for a close two-count. In retaliation, Viper gouges Mariana's eyes and swiftly delivers a swinging neckbreaker. As the match progresses, Viper's rule-bending tactics escalate. She mercilessly rakes Mariana's eyes against the ropes, grinning as Mariana clutches her face in pain. The referee steps in to admonish Viper, providing Mariana with a brief respite. Suddenly, Mariana charges forward, delivering stiff punches and stomping a mudhole into her stunned opponent. This time, the referee is compelled to pull Mariana away to restore order. Undeterred, Mariana brushes the referee aside and returns to the corner, viciously kicking Viper. The crowd gasps as Mariana, displaying uncharacteristic aggression, seizes Viper by the hair and whips her across the ring. However, Viper's cunning prevails as she pulls Mariana into the turnbuckle. As Mariana stumbles back, Viper seizes the opening, planting her with a reverse DDT. Mariana refuses to stay down and defiantly kicks out at one. Viper, staying true to her form, chokes Mariana, eliciting a chorus of boos from the crowd, and releases at the four count. Viper signals the end of the match and sets Mariana up for the "Viper Bite" [Hidden Blade]. But Mariana dodges the move and fights back. With the crowd rallying behind her, Mariana channels her frustration into a series of hard strikes, culminating in a thunderous lariat. Viper retreats to the ropes, but Mariana isn't finished. She chokes Viper on the ropes, seeking payback for Viper's earlier tactics. Once again, the referee is forced to intervene. In a final bid to test Mariana's patience, Viper pushes the referee into her, and in the commotion, attempts to spit black mist into Mariana's face. However, Mariana dodges it with lightning reflexes. The crowd roars as Viper's mist backfires, staining the canvas instead. Mariana capitalizes on this opportunity, seizing Viper's arm and rolling her into a punishing arm-bar, known as the "Venus Fly Trap." Viper is trapped, her escape routes cut off, and she is forced to tap out. Winner: Mariana via submission 12:10 [47] Decent match with little heat Show off to a strong start We find ourselves backstage, where a somber Lily Snyder, Ava Anderson, and Bossman Brayfield are gathered... Anderson: (sighs) I can't believe this is happening... [Brayfield leans in] Brayfield: I typically ain't one for utterin' this, but regulations are regulations. We entered that tag tournament with the understanding that if we lost, I wouldn't be at liberty to oversee your affairs any longer. Snyder: This is bullshit though! We had that match won, if it weren't for that mystery woman interfering... Brayfield: (nodding) Y'all fought valiantly and did me proud. In truth, y'all always have. There are folks 'round these parts who don't hold tag team wrestling in high esteem, but I surely do. It takes a little extra to meld with another soul, to stand together as a singular force. Y'all possess that special somethin'. And if I'm bein' straight, I believe I've passed on every nugget of wisdom I hold... Maybe it's time for you to carve your own path and show the world the prowess of The Experience. [Lily and Ava appear disheartened, but they nod in agreement, their heads hung low] Anderson: We're grateful for all you've done, Brayfield. Snyder: (softly) Thank you. We’ll be back on top in no time. What’s next for you, Brayfield? Brayfield: I'm thinkin' 'bout takin' a little breather and scoutin' out some fresh prospects. I'll be needin' some tough broads to challenge you down the road... [Brayfield grins and tips his cowboy hat to his former protégés. He begins to depart but hesitates...] Brayfield: (earnestly) Hear me out, gals. Y'all know I ain't got a taste for Hellcat Hernandez nor her Clenched Fist shenanigans. Forkin' over a portion of your winnings to this shady enterprise with barely a dime to show for it. [Ava and Lily squirm somewhat sheepishly] Brayfield: (gravely) Word's been driftin' 'round that The Uprising was lookin' to bring Hellcat's new protection venture into the fold and undercut your tourney run. The lass who meddled in your match is Danger Mushashibo. The spawn of the legendary Yoshimi Mushashibo? Does that strike a chord? Anderson: (concerned) Indeed, it does. What's your drift, Brayfield? Brayfield: (whispers) I conversed with Fuyuko, and she ain't a cog in the Japanese Clenched Fist. She's never set foot in 5SSW. So, I had a chat with Commissioner Bomb, and she relayed that Danger was recommended as a potential signee by Hellcat a few weeks back. [Ava and Lily exchange uneasy glances] Brayfield: Keep your peepers peeled on that ringleader of yours, gals. By now, you oughta know she's solely fixated on the mighty dollar. [37] We shift to the backstage interview area, where Ash Grover stands alongside Dharma Gregg... Dharma: QAW faithful, I present my guest at this moment: "Texas Tough" Ash Grover! Ash, at World Summit this weekend, your partners Tex-Mex are putting their careers on the line for a shot at the QAW World Tag Team Championships. Could you offer some insight into their mindset? What's driving them to take such a drastic step? Ash: Well, sugah, it's a real dang shame to see my buddies feelin' so beat down by their time here that they're willin' to risk their livelihoods just to secure the recognition they darn well earned. Since Farrah left QAW and Commissioner Bomb gained unchecked power, Tex-Mex found themselves shoved down the ladder, stuck in dark matches for half a year despite winnin' 'em all. And yet, they're left outta the tag team tourney? Somethin' ain't right there. Hate that it's come down to this, but I gotta tip my hat to their determination. I'm plumb confident they're gonna step up to Lilly & Rose at World Summit and keep on journeyin' as champions right here in QAW— [Abruptly, QAW Shockwave champion, Christy Higgins, strides onto the scene] Christy: Oh, I totally overheard your little speech. Just had to mosey on over when I heard you mention Lilly & Rose, my teammates, losing their belts this weekend... Seriously, are you for real? Is that cowgirl hat squishing your brains? [Christy tries to adjust Ash's hat, but Ash swiftly swats her hand away, her demeanor growing more intense] Ash: You best back off right now. Christy: So, like, you're here going on about your buddies taking risks for gold. And to some extent, I kinda respect that... So, when are you finally gonna step up? Are you gonna snag yourself some gold, or just stay comfy on the bench? [Ash crosses her arms, a steely determination in her eyes, wholly unimpressed by Christy's remarks] Ash: When the time's right, I'll be chasin' my own championship, don't you worry. But for now, my focus is on standin' behind my pals. Christy: Well, whenever you're done warming the bench, I’ll be waiting. [Christy saunters off, leaving Ash looking resolute and undeterred] [28] Tag Team Match /with The Rage [Honey & Marie] Vs. "Miraculous" Suzanne Brazzle [Fallen Angels] & Helene Svennson w/ Steph Blake An interesting tag-team match that sees Suzanne tagging with her World Summit title challenger, and protege, Helene Svennson. Due to their prior relationship commentary notes Suzanne insisted on tagging with Helene. The match kicks off with Honey Badger's wild brawling style. She charges at Suzanne, but Suzanne gracefully sidesteps and answers with a beautifully executed dropkick, sending Honey Badger crashing into her corner. Suzanne then motions for Helene to tag in. After a moment's hesitation, Helene enters the ring, displaying a mixture of nerves and determination on her face. Marie also enters, and the two competitors circle each other. Helene initiates a cautious grapple, but Marie's kickboxing background becomes evident as she lands a sharp roundhouse kick, catching Helene off guard. Marie gains control, unleashing a series of well-placed kicks and knee strikes. Suzanne watches intently from the apron, offering guidance and strategy to help Helene regain control. Helene begins to rally, driven by her determination, showcases her technical prowess by countering Marie's strikes with precision take downs and submission holds. As the match unfolds, Helene makes several attempts to tag out but Suzanne encourages her protege to stay in the match as she holds the advantage. The Rage senses this opportunity and seizes the momentum. They isolate Helene, exploiting her mounting fatigue. With the audience firmly behind her, Helene summons a burst of energy, determined to overcome the odds. Just as Marie advances for another attack, Helene counters with a sudden burst of offense, executing a swift and impactful DDT that takes her opponent by surprise. Helene, her adrenaline surging, inches toward her corner for a crucial tag, but Suzanne continues to insist she stay in the match. Honey enters the match and drags Helene away from her corner and continues the assault. But overconfidence strikes and Helene scores a jaw-breaker. Unexpectedly, Suzanne blind tags herself in just as Helene delivers another impactful move. The crowd is left in shock as Suzanne enters the ring, capitalising on Honey's stunned state. Suzanne hits the “Miracle Connection” [Michinoku Driver] and takes the win. After the match, Helene looks extremely annoyed and exits the ring, pushing away her reality TV camera crew from filming her at one point. Winners: Suzanne & Helene via pin 10:24 [43] Decent reaction but had sub-par wrestling Got the crowd hotter We cut to a backstage sit-down interview between Hannah Potter and Fuyuko Higa... Potter: Welcome, QAW faithful. My name is Hannah Potter, and today I have the honor of being joined by the poised and regal "Miss Perfection" Fuyuko Higa. Welcome, Fuyuko! Higa: Konnichiwa, Hannah. Potter: Fuyuko, you made your QAW debut last year during Battlebowl when we hosted stars from 5SSW. However, for those unfamiliar with your illustrious career beforehand, could you share a bit about your journey? Higa: Of course. I emerged from the esteemed 5SSW dojo system over a decade ago, under the mentorship of Thunder Hike, a legendary joshi wrestler. During my tenure with 5SSW, I held the titles of All-Asian and World Tag Team Champion, and I proudly won the prestigious J Grand Prix. Potter: Most impressive. Now, you're known by the moniker "Miss Perfection." Can you elaborate on the significance of that name? Higa: "Miss Perfection" reflects my philosophy, Hannah. In every aspect of this art form, I strive for excellence. It's that simple. Potter: While many stars from 5SSW returned to Japan, you chose to continue your journey here in QAW. Can you shed light on your decision? Higa: The world deserves to witness my craft. In Japan, I garnered recognition, but here, people have yet to fully appreciate what I offer. I aim to prove that my strong style technique is unparalleled. My affiliation with the COTT alliance allows me to extend my reach to other nations in pursuit of the COTT Women’s World Championship. Potter: Capital Clash saw you partnering with the current champion, Maribel Mercado, and maintaining an undefeated singles record since. Do you have plans to seize the championship soon? Higa: Patience is a virtue, Hannah. I prefer to wait for the precise moment to make my move. When that moment arrives, rest assured, I will not falter. Potter: Fascinating. I've also been curious about your connection with Hellcat Hernandez and the Clenched Fist. Are you a part of that faction? Higa: Hellcat and her associates visited Japan last year, forging friendships with myself and others. While factions weren't prevalent in 5SSW until then, they enlightened us on their significance, especially within the Clenched Fist network. After their departure, several of us, including Shiori-san, Toku-san, Tai-san, and Gemmei-san, chose to continue their legacy. Potter: Indeed, it seems splinter groups are emerging worldwide. Are you able to disclose the leader of your network? Higa: That information remains confidential, Hannah. Potter: I understand. So, does your group contribute financially? Higa: That's not a matter for public discussion. Potter: Understood. Does this mean you're aligned with Hellcat's group here in QAW? Higa: No, Hannah. While Hellcat has her methods, I lead the Clenched Fist in 5SSW. Hellcat and I are equals, each with our distinct approaches. Her group, you could say, is less accomplished than mine. They resort to undervaluing themselves by seeking employment. We, on the other hand, operate differently. Potter: It seems you have reservations about Hellcat's leadership? [Fuyuko smiles enigmatically, removes her microphone, and departs, leaving Hannah to conclude the segment] [42] The camera focuses on Pamela Rojo, standing in the center of a dimly lit room. She exudes confidence as she gazes into the camera with intensity... Rojo: You know, they say desperate times call for desperate measures. Well, I've been there, done that. I've seen the darkest corners of this business, and I've fought my way out of them. And now, I stand before you, not as someone seeking redemption, but as a force that will take what's rightfully mine! [Pamela's voice grows more intense with each word] Rojo: Suzanne Brazzle, you used me, manipulated me, and cast me aside like yesterday's news. You played your little mind games, pretended to be my friend, all while plotting to steal the very thing I've worked my entire career for - the QAW World Championship! [Pamela clenches her fists, a fire burning in her eyes] Rojo: You thought throwing every opponent in my path would break me? You thought wrong. Each one only fueled the fire inside me, reminding me of what I'm capable of, and what's at stake. I've faced adversity. I've tasted betrayal. And I've emerged stronger than ever before! [Pamela's expression hardens as she delivers her final message] Rojo: So, mystery opponent, it doesn't matter who you are or what tricks you bring to the ring. You're just another obstacle in my path, and I'll do whatever it takes to tear you apart! Because when the dust settles, there will be no doubt in anyone's mind - I'm coming for Suzanne Brazzle, and nothing is stopping me. [38] Got the crowd hotter Trios Match "World Class" Emma May, "The Face of QAW" Alina America & Juana Hurricane [Storm Front] Vs. Toni "New York" Parisi [Ronin3], "The Queen of Professional Wrestling" Ashley Keith & Hellcat Hernandez [Clenched Fist] Alina America, the fiery face of QAW, initiated the bout for her team, squaring off against the rough-and-ready Toni Parisi. They locked up in the centre of the ring, treating the crowd to a display of slick chain wrestling. Alina gained the upper hand with a swift arm drag take down. She swiftly followed it up with a lightning-quick dropkick, sending Toni reeling into her corner. Realising she needed a respite, Toni hastily tagged in Hellcat Hernandez. Alina didn't waste a moment and made her own tag to Juana Hurricane. Juana entered the ring, and as she locked eyes with Hellcat, a palpable disdain filled the arena. Their history was fraught with hostility, and the animosity became evident in the heated exchange of words before the match resumed. Hellcat, known for her mean street-fighting style, attempted to overpower Juana with sheer force. However, Juana's technical prowess shone as she countered with precision, executing a beautifully executed flying head-scissors take down. Hellcat rolled out of the ring to regain her composure and immediately tagged in Ashley, prompting Juana to tag Alina back in. Ashley's imposing size and raw power gave her the upper hand as she effortlessly overpowered Alina. With a ruthless suplex, she brought Alina crashing down to the canvas. Taunting her, Ashley cruelly reminded Alina of the injury inflicted upon Danielle Sweetheart. As Ashley worked over Alina, the match quickly devolved into a three-on-one scenario in the rudo corner. The crowd's anticipation reached a fever pitch as Emma May repeatedly called for a tag. Hellcat, however, grew overly confident. Seizing an opportunity, Alina floated over a body slam attempt and pushed Hellcat into the turnbuckle, finally securing the hot tag. Emma wasted no time and immediately set her sights on Hellcat. The two fierce competitors engaged in a chaotic brawl around the ring, even spilling to the outside. The referee began the count, urging them to return to the ring. Despite Hellcat slamming Emma into the steel steps, Emma's resilience prevailed as she retaliated with a swift knee to Hellcat's midsection. As Emma and Hellcat continued their ringside brawl, they paid no heed to the referee's count. At one point, Ashley attempted to retrieve a steel chair but was intercepted by both Alina and Juana. Hellcat rolled into the ring and tagged in Toni, who rushed Emma as she entered. However, Emma easily gained the upper hand and locked Toni into a tight triangle hold, cinching it in with precision. The crowd erupted as Toni struggled desperately to escape the submission hold. But in the end, the pain became too much to bear, and Toni had no choice but to tap out, once again. Alina, Juana, and Emma celebrated their hard-fought triumph in the ring, while Hellcat and Ashley stormed away, leaving a battered Toni behind. Winners: Emma, Alina & Juana via submission 18:28 [52] Good wrestling & decent reaction Show Rating: 48

Hannah Potter sat poised across from Little Miss Perfect (LMP), ready to delve into another sit down interview... Potter: Welcome, QAW faithful. My name is Hannah Potter, and it's my pleasure to be here tonight with one of the amazing Queens of American Wrestling—Little Miss Perfect! LMP: Hi Hannah, thanks for having me. Potter: Not many people know this, but before becoming Little Miss Perfect, you were Sarah Taylor. Who was she? LMP: Well, before Sarah Taylor, there was Andromache Sparkell—yes, that’s my name. My parents are the nicest people you’ll ever meet and, for lack of a better description, "free spirits." We lived in a couple of communes around the Bay Area, and there wasn’t much structure. But life was good for the most part; I was the president of my school's drama club, and I was a pretty good softball player. But I had a dark secret... Potter: And what was that secret? LMP: I wanted to be a professional wrestler. I loved everything about it, but my parents weren't keen on anything related to violence and conflict. I don't think they would have banned me from doing it, but I just knew to keep it to myself, y'know? Potter: So, you knew you wanted to be a professional wrestler all along? LMP: Pretty much! I didn't have the money to train for a few years, so I concentrated on working. Besides, there wasn't really anywhere around me to work. So AAA became my goal, and getting into their training school; I sold everything I had and took a gamble by moving to Seattle. Potter: The training school you're referring to is the "Cat's Lair," named after Catherine Quine, a legendary wrestler who trained the likes of Jaime Quine, Sara Marie York, and Tiffany Jade. LMP: Correct. I was trained by Cherry Bomb as well. It was a fantastic school, and they obviously helped me become the talent I am today! Potter: And that's when you took on the Sarah Taylor name? Why? LMP: After growing up with a name like Andromache, I just wanted something…simple. No nonsense. And that was reflected in my wrestling style. Potter: So, you graduated in 2014 straight to the AAA roster, where many labeled you as a rising star; in just three years, you captured both the Top Contenders and World Tag Team championships. Many pegged you as a future Femme Fatale champion, but unfortunately, AAA closed its doors. LMP: That's right. In fact, I was the last Top Contenders champion. It was a massive shock when AAA closed because I thought we were doing well! I felt ready to prove myself as a singles champion and take it to the next level. It was a really bittersweet moment to be the last champion. Potter: What was life like after AAA? LMP: It was uncertain. Many of us hit the independent circuit and kept in touch, but there was definitely a sense of great loss. I don't want to call it a downgrade, but it was. But one day, I heard that The Uprising signed with 5SSW and were headed out, and it inspired me to take a risk and move again. I had heard of QAW and liked what they were about, so I contacted Farrah and took everything down south for a try-out. Obviously, it was a success, and here I am. Potter: What I want to know is how you went from plain Sarah Taylor to Little Miss Perfect? LMP: I just wanted to fit in when I got to QAW and took a great interest in everyone. Then one day, I overheard people referring to me as "Little Miss Perfect" in a derogatory way. I was really hurt by that, but instead of dwelling on it, I decided to piss them off even more. So I owned it. Potter: You really have owned it. It's safe to say you made a big impact and you sit here before us as the longest-reigning QAW Shockwave champion. Tell us more about that. LMP: Well, Hellcat Hernandez and Pamela Rojo were having major issues and feuding over the belt. I was doing my thing and getting major "go away" heel heat, and I think I just became undeniable in terms of the title picture, despite this blood feud going on around it. So, I stuck my nose in their business and snatched the title right from under their noses. Potter: Are you proud of the reign? LMP: It started off well, but I got humbled real quick after my loss to Megumi Nakajiima at Battlebowl. She beat my ass around the ring, and everyone knew it, and I think my popularity took a big nosedive. Yes, I think things picked up when Christy came onto the scene, but as we all know now that was disingenuous, and she stole the championship right from me. Just like I did to Hellcat Hernandez. Potter: Surely this is much worse? LMP: Yes, you're right. I can really relate to what Pamela is saying about Suzanne these days. They have been playing the long game and manipulating people in a really sinister way. Christy is telling me that every interaction we've had for over a year has been fake, and that includes what I thought were private moments on the road and in our personal lives. If you can actively deceive someone on that level, then there really is something wrong with you. Potter: So, where does that leave you with Christy now? LMP: I have tried to make amends. Christy is right that considering we were best friends in AAA, I was not the best friend in the aftermath of its closure. I didn't tell her about QAW until I was already there, and I was wrapped up in salvaging my own career. I can only say sorry so many times, and she's certainly reminded me plenty of times that she doesn't want to hear it. I can kinda see where the Fallen Angels are coming from, but they are going about it poorly. They want to "erase" legacies and, eventually, QAW itself from the herstory books because they are mad at Farrah Hesketh? They should be mad at Catherine Quine and Commissioner Bomb for not looking after the books properly. When it comes to the Shockwave Championship, I am the longest-reigning champion—Christy Higgins is not going to surpass me!

Road to World Summit 3 Date: Sat W3 May 2021 Location: Oxford Arena, Texas [Mid South] Attendance: 945 people Broadcast on Wrestleworld: 20,649 viewers Dark matches: Calamity Jane, SUPREME Yoshida & Modesty Pador def. Raquel Alvarado, Danger Mushashibo & Felicia Luck [42] Eclipse [Darkness Cat & Estrella Blanca] def. 2 San Diego Girls [46] Tag Team Match Sinda Sarai & Mariah Magic Vs. Lilly & Rose [Fallen Angels] Right from the opening moments, Kate showcased her impressive aerial skills, dazzling the crowd with a picture-perfect springboard moonsault that landed squarely on Mariah, leaving her gasping for air. Meanwhile, Debbie proved to be equally adept in the air, as she soared off the top rope with a diving crossbody, driving Sinda into the canvas. Throughout the contest, Kate and Debbie reveled in their superiority, taunting and tormenting their opponents at every turn. Their seamless teamwork and athleticism were on full display, as they effortlessly countered any attempts of resistance from Mariah and Sinda. With precision and malice, Kate and Debbie executed “The Thorn” [Double-Impaler DDT] that left Sinda incapacitated. Winners: Lilly & Rose via pin 08:30 [40] A poor match Mariah was off her game Lilly & Rose salvaged it and made it a strong start to the show Got the crowd hotter After the match it looks like the champions are going to carry on the assault on the newbies but they are interrupted by Tex-Mex’s music hitting; Teresa, Houston, and Ash, make their way to the ring with some urgency with mics in hand... Ash: Y'all have some nerve, struttin' around with them shiny titles like you own the damn place. But let's not forget, at Capital Clash, you and Suzanne Brazzle had to resort to your underhanded tactics to beat us. It was a disgrace, plain and simple. Houston: We had our chance at Capital Clash to prove ourselves, and y'all cheated us out of it. But we ain't gonna sit here and mope about it. No, we're here to set things right. We demand a shot at them titles, fair and square. Teresa: That's right. We're not asking nicely for a handout anymore. Your crew may have us relegated to dark matches but we have won. Every. Single. Match. And you're next. [Debbie and Kate ask for mics from ringside, smirking in response] Debbie: (mocking tone) Oh, look at you, all fired up and ready to whine! You think you can just demand a shot at us? Well, guess what? We don't give a damn. If Commissioner Bomb is booking you that way... then maybe you should be grateful you're even getting booked at all? Kate: (smirking) I couldn't agree more. You had your chance, and you blew it. Just like The Furies, the era of The Line is over. It's time to accept it with some grace and dignity, don't you think? [Lilly & Rose laugh arrogantly in the faces of The Line, fueling Teresa's anger] Teresa: To hell with this! I know my worth, and I'm willing to put my career on the line to prove it! [Lilly & Rose's laughter fades, and they exchange whispers] Ash: Hold on, Teresa. I understand your frustration, but puttin' your career on the line is one hell of a risk. We've worked too damn hard to throw it all away. Teresa: (angrily) Ash, don't you see? This isn't just about a shot at the titles. It's about the way we've been treated, the injustice we've faced. I don't want to keep working in QAW under this regime if it means being held back and overlooked! Houston: (calmly) Teresa, I get where you're comin' from but think this through... Debbie: (mockingly) You know deep down you don't stand a chance against us. Might as well walk away now before you embarrass yourselves even more. Kate: (mockingly) Yeah, don't be foolish. We've beaten you before, and we'll do it again. But if you're so desperate to risk it all, who are we to stop you? Ash: (pleading) Don't listen to 'em, Teresa. We can find another way to make things right. Teresa: (pauses, conflicted) Taking risks is the only way to make real change. I want to prove that we're not just warm-up acts, that we're worthy of the spotlight again. If Houston is with me, then we're doing this. Houston: (determined) I've got your back. If this is what it takes, then I’m in. Debbie: (laughs) You two are even dumber than we thought! Consider the match set. But just remember, when we're done with you, your careers will be dust! [Lilly & Rose and Tex-Mex square up as Ash looks on in horror, realising the gravity of the situation as the match is officially set] [34] A flustered looking Christy Higgins is walking backstage, her expression darkens as she spots Little Miss Perfect sheepishly attempting to block her path… LMP: Christy, can we talk, please? [Christy scoffs and crosses her arms, clearly displaying her contempt towards LMP] Higgins: I really don’t have time for this. You had your chance to join us, to be part of something bigger, but you failed. Pamela Rojo won, and you let us down. LMP: I did my best. You lost to her as well… Higgins: Wow! I had a bad ankle that weekend AND you didn’t soften her up for me. I would of won for sure otherwise. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to speak to Foxxy. LMP: Why? Higgins: Well, thanks to you, I have to make it up to Suzanne for your screw up. So, I’ve volunteered to round out Foxxy’s team at World Summit… I just need to, err, let Fox know first... LMP: I'm sorry you're in trouble with Suzanne because of me but sometimes things don't go as planned. But I'm still here, trying to make amends with my best friend... [Christy rolls her eyes and takes a step closer, lowering her voice] Higgins: You mean your only friend. I think it’s time for a reality check; You were on top as the Shockwave champion for a long time, and pissed everyone off along the way. But now, things have changed. The Fallen Angels have taken over, and I hold the championship. I have to look out for myself and you're a threat to me. [LMP looks hurt by Christy's words] LMP: I’m not a threat to you…? We’re friends. [Christy takes a moment to consider LMP's words, her expression hardens] Higgins: Friends? We didn’t bump into each other in 5SSW by mistake. I used you to get here. And if you’re being honest with yourself, you used me as well, to keep your reign going. I hadn’t heard from you in years and then all of a sudden you remembered we were best friends, huh? That we were AAA tag champions together? Bullshit. LMP: I never meant to make you feel that way. I admit I might not have been as present as I should have, but things were taking off for me and I got caught up in it... But I want to make it up to you-- [Christy interrupts LMP] Higgins: Exactly. You forgot about me. When AAA closed I never heard from you! I was in a dark place for a long time and not even a text from you. And you have the nerve to pretend we have this amazing friendship! Newsflash, we don’t! And that’s exactly why I’m with the Fallen Angels; they were there for me. And just so it’s crystal clear, I have my own path now, and you have yours. It's time to move on. [LMP's eyes well up with tears, but she nods, accepting Christy's decision] LMP: If that's what you want, Christy. [Christy looks conflicted for a moment, then turns away, her voice filled with bitterness] Higgins: If you keep your head down then maybe you’ll get through what we have planned unscathed. [LMP exits the scene and Christy proceeds to knock on the Ronin3 locker room door] [42] Singles Match Fuyuko Higa Vs. Simony Sentinel Fuyuko Higa, wasted no time unleashing a barrage of lightning-fast kicks and devastating strikes. She connected with a thunderous roundhouse kick, followed by a series of rapid-fire strikes that left Simony reeling. Fuyuko showcased her technical prowess with a beautiful snap suplex, seamlessly transitioning into a front face lock and then rolling into a Muta-Lock, applying relentless pressure on her opponent. Simony absorbed the punishment and reached the ropes. And to the surprise of everyone fought back with a vengeance. She utilised her agility to counter Fuyuko's strikes, delivering an enzuigiri that sent Fuyuko crashing to the canvas. Simony unleashed her breakneck high-flying offense, executing a springboard crossbody that popped the crowd. As the match intensified, Fuyuko displayed her versatility, seamlessly transitioning between strikes and submissions. She locked in an ankle lock, torquing Simony's leg with precision. But Simony refused to tap out, reaching the ropes again to break the hold. Undeterred, Fuyuko stalked Simony as she got back to her feet, limping slightly, and cracked Simony with a devastating spinning back fist. In a final display, Fuyuko drove Simony into the canvas with the “Higa Green Driver” [Destino] for the victory, marking Higa’s sixth consecutive win in QAW, and remaining undefeated in singles competition. Winner: Fuyuko via pin 15:45 [59] A match with good wrestling but not much heat Got the crowd hotter We cut to backstage where Alina America is signing autographs for some young fans. She is approached by Juana Hurricane and Emma May… [Alina raises an eyebrow conveying her displeasure at the sight of Emma May] Alina: Oh, Juana, darling, you appear to have lost your senses bringing her over here... Juana: Alina, let's just try to have a civil conversation... Alina: Civil? I’ve exceeded the limits of civility when it comes to Emma May. [Emma rolls her eyes, growing impatient] Emma: Spare me the melodrama, Alina. We're here for business, not your theatrics. [Alina dramatically clutches her chest] Alina: Business? Oh, how dull! Emma: (icily) Well, I don’t know if you heard but Hellcat and Ashley Keith joined Foxxy’s team at World Summit? Y’know, the two women you swore revenge on? Speaking of, how is Danielle doing? [Juana interrupts] Juana: Danielle is a good friend of mine and honourary member of Storm Front. Don’t ask if you don’t mean it, Emma. [Emma bites her tongue as Alina eyes them both warily] Alina: She is at home recovering. I won’t tell her you asked. I can see where this is going and the prospect of helping you is very unpleasant, Emma. But, I swore revenge on Hellcat and Ashley, and you would be the lesser of two evils right now... [Emma scoffs] Juana: I think what Emma means to say is 'thank you'… Listen, we’ve all been doing this long enough to know the enemy of my enemy is my friend sometimes. If we work together we all get to settle some scores, and make some money doing it. [Alina lets out a hearty laugh] Alina: Now you’re talking my language, Juana! What about the rest of the team? Unfortunately Danielle isn’t going to be cleared for World Summit, otherwise we could of asked her… What about the rest of Storm Front? Juana: Sonnaz isn’t ready for this and Alexis needs to be careful with her neck after what Hellcat did to her… Alina: I’ll put in a call to Yuma! [Emma snorts in disbelief] Emma: You’d get Yuma Maruya here? Alina: Yes, why not? [Emma gives Alina a thoughtful look] Juana: That still leaves us one short. Alina: I have just the person in mind. Let me make a call! But Emma, once this is done, you and I still have a score to settle as well. Emma: I'll be waiting. [40] We cut to a pre-recorded segment; Hannah Potter is sat across from Helene Svennson, both sat comfortably in arm-chairs… Potter: QAW faithful thank you for joining me, Hannah Potter, for another intimate sit down with one of QAW’s stars. Although, strictly speaking, my guest today isn’t necessarily apart of QAW; that’s because she’ll be making her QAW debut in the main event of World Summit later this month when she challenges for the world championship! Welcome Helene Svennson! Helene: Thank you for having me Hannah. Potter: This month at World Summit you have what is arguably the biggest match of your wrestling career when you challenge Suzanne Brazzle for the QAW World championship. A little known fact is that Suzanne was one of the people who trained you to be a professional wrestler. How do you feel going into this match? Helene: I’m feeling a range of emotions Hannah. First and foremost I am excited to get in the ring and entertain the fans. And I’m eager to prove myself in the ring against Suzanne, my mentor. I know she has a whole bag of tricks she never shared with me, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t learnt my own! And I’m nervous. This is my first match in a few years and I have the added pressure of my reality show “Heel Turn on the Catwalk: Helene Svennson's Reality Wrestling” coming back for it’s second season filming the match. Potter: That's right, your hit reality TV show. For those who don’t know your first season documented your pivot from modelling into wrestling. Ultimately seeing you succeed with a contract in AAA. Can you tell us what made you want to do that? Helene: Professional wrestling isn’t as popular in Sweden as it is here, so I didn’t grow up with a passion for it. It’s pretty well known now that towards the end of my modelling career I was hacked and some pictures of me were shared online without my permission. That experience was so violating. It went beyond humilation. I know that some people think I cashed in on using the attention to get into acting but I had no choice but to make the best of a shitty situation. Then as I was working a reality show was pitched to me and AAA, and we both liked the concept. So, why not? Admittedly, I didn't quite know what I was getting myself in for. But I have no regrets. Potter: So, how do you feel about professional wrestling now? Helene: I love professional wrestling. I took some time off to rehab an injury and I’m ready to climb to the top of this industry, where I belong. If I want to make it to USPW I need to be noticed, and I know conquering QAW will do just that. I don’t get the luxury of saying “Better luck next time” if I don’t win. So at World Summit, I need to win the QAW World championship and make sure my name is getting noticed again. I’m sorry it has to come at the expense of my mentor, but she has her own mission to, so I know she’ll understand how it feels to be this determined to win. Bring it on, Suzanne! [48] Helene bombed the segment but it was the highest rated one... Hannah looked good but struggled without a script... Eh? Singles Match /with Toni "New York" Parisi w/ Vinny Cruz [Ronin3] Vs. Juana Hurricane [Storm Front] An interesting preview for the Team Emma v Team Foxxy match at World Summit that sees the former members of the legendary Crackdown tag team face off. The first ever QAW World Tag Team champions. The record holders for longest reign and most defences of said belts as well. Obviously, there has been bad blood since their split three years ago when Juana was run out of Ronin3 by Toni and, then leader, Jillian Jarvis. Juana entered to a rousing ovation, her focus entirely on the ring. She ignores Toni’s taunts and steps into the ring, ready to settle their score. The two women circle each other cautiously, eyes locked. Toni lunges forward, attempting to catch Juana off-guard, but Juana expertly evades, slipping behind Toni and shoving her into a turnbuckle. Toni charges again, and Juana manages the same tactic causing the crowd to laugh at Toni. This aggravates Toni and she squares up to Juana in the centre of the ring exchanging words. Suddently Toni swings a wild haymaker, but Juana ducks and responds with a swift kick to the midsection, doubling her over. Juana whips Toni into the ropes and on the rebound catches her in the face with a dropkick. Toni rolls out the ring to catch her breath, but Juana isn’t letting up. She runs the ropes and smashes into Toni’s back with a baseball slide, crashing Toni into the barricade. The referee pleads with them to get into the ring and reluctantly begins to count as Juana batters Toni around the ringside area smashing her into the ring apron and barricades. At the eight count Juana grabs Toni by the hair and rolls her back into the ring. As she follows, Vinny Cruz also gets onto the ring apron shouting at Juana, who is only momentarily distracted, but it’s enough of an opening for Toni to blindside her with a sucker punch and rake to the eyes. Toni seizes control and returns the beating targeting Juana’s limbs and back with ruthless stomps and knee drops before locking in an armbar, wrenching Juana’s shoulder. However, taking it to the mat was a sign of Toni’s arrogance as she was never the technical wrestler in their tag team and she is unable to to truly lock in the submission. Juana, showing her resilience, manages to counter the armbar into a small package roll-up, but Toni kicks out. The match continues with both women exchanging momentum, but Juana starts to gain the upper hand with her technical prowess countering Toni’s brawling with precise counters and taking to the fight to the ground. Finally, after a grueling back-and-forth exchange, Juana catches Toni off-guard with a sudden german suplex, leaving Toni stunned on the mat. Juana quickly locks in the Time-square Lock [Arm-trap Texas Cloverleaf], bridging back and applying pressure on Toni’s lower back. Toni claws at the mat for the ropes, but the pain becomes too much to bear. She taps out! Winner: Juana via submission 14:52 [57] Good wrestling with decent reaction Show Rating: 54

You’re obligated at this point to push Daffney ❤️

Road to World Summit 2 Date: Sat W2 May 2021 Location: Oxford Arena, Texas [Mid South] Attendance: 838 people Broadcast on Wrestleworld: 20,259 viewers Dark matches: Storm Front [Alexis & Sonnaz] def. Raquel Alvarado & Unstoppable Tai [45] The Line def. Millie the Minx, Felicia Luck & Black Diamond [47] Tag Team Match Queens of the Damned [Queen Amazon & El Hija Del Diablo] Vs. Overpowered [Electric Dreamer & Ursula Saez] The bell rings, and the crowd politely applauds the luchadoras. Electric Dreamer, known for her lightning-fast agility, locks up with Queen Amazon, a powerhouse known for her raw strength. Dreamer uses her speed to her advantage, swiftly dodging Amazon's attempts at overpowering her. After one such wild swing, Dreamer seizes the opportunity and executes a lightning-fast dropkick, sending Amazon staggering backward. With the momentum in their favour, Dreamer makes the tag, bringing in Ursula Saez, the powerhouse of the team. Ursula wastes no time and confronts Amazon, overwhelming her with clubbing blows. Eventually, Amazon is able to fight her way back into the match and creates enough separation to tag out. As the match progresses, the Queens of the Damned attempt to isolate Electric Dreamer, utilising their teamwork and quick tags to keep her grounded. However, Dreamer displays her resilience, mounting a comeback against her opponents. With a burst of energy, she fights back, unleashing a series of lightning-quick strikes that create an opening to escape the clutches of the Queens of the Damned. Dreamer finally makes the crucial tag to Ursula. Ursula and Amazon clash head-on this time, exchanging nasty sounding shots. The crowd pops as Ursula snatches Amazon into the air and throws her to the mat. In the climax of the match, Dreamer wipes out Diablo with a tope suicida as Ursula deadlifts Amazon into a jumping side suplex for the pin. Winners: Overpowered via pin 11:32 [53] Decent match with little heat Got the show off to a strong start Got the crowd hotter We go backstage to find Alina America standing by with Dharma Gregg for an interview... Dharma: QAW faithful, I'm here with Alina America, the "Face of QAW." Alina, after your recent tag team match alongside Danielle Sweetheart, things took a dark turn when Danielle seemingly took a chair shot from Ashley Keith meant for you. Could you share your reflections on the events that unfolded? Alina: Oh, mi dulce Dharma, it was a whirlwind of emotions! As I graced the squared circle, my presence shimmering like a radiant star, fate had a surprise in store for me... [Alina delicately places her hand on her heart, her eyes glistening with the drama of the moment] Alina: As Ashley Keith and Hellcat Hernandez sought to cast shadows upon our path, Danielle, mi amiga, shielded me from danger with an act of selflessness that echoes the grand gestures of heroines across history. [Alina's voice quivers slightly] Alina: In the wake of the chaos, I realised the depth of our bond, and alas, my regret. I failed to see the richness of our connection. But fear not, for I am ready to make amends and avenge Danielle. [Alina takes a deep breath, her eyes focused and determined] Alina: Ashley Keith, Hellcat Hernandez, heed my words! From this day forward, I shall be watching your every move. [36] Emma May leans against a wall backstage, her face filled with frustration and disappointment. She mutters sarcastic remarks under her breath. Juana Hurricane approaches Emma, her eyes reflecting empathy amidst her determined expression… Juana: Emma, I know you're not the crowd favourite here, but right now, we have a chance to find common ground. I've been down a similar road, made mistakes, and found redemption. I see a bit of myself in you, and I want to help. [Emma scoffs and rolls her eyes] Emma: Oh, look who it is! The Ronin3 reject, how kind of you to grace me with your presence. You think you can relate to me? Spare me the lecture. [Juana maintains her calm demeanor, unaffected by Emma's hostility] Juana: I know we’ve had our differences too, but right now, we can put all that aside. I understand the sting of betrayal and I want to help you make a statement against Foxxy, Hellcat, and the rest of Ronin3. I have scores to settle with all of them. But if you think going it solo looks tough, it doesn't. You’re just risking your career for nothing. [Emma’s defensive facade begins to crack] Emma: Fine, Hurricane, I’ll entertain your idea. But don’t think this makes us friends or anything. [Juana nods, acknowledging Emma's resistance] Juana: (firmly) Fair enough, we don’t have to be friends. But we can be allies. Together, we’ll find the right team and take the fight to Foxxy's flunkies. [Emma hesitates for a moment before reluctantly nodding] Emma: Alright, let’s see what we can do. But don’t expect any gratitude from me. [50] 1v2 Handicap Match /with Tameka Sky [Ronin3] w/ Vinny Cruz Vs. Elita Galvez & Perri Kent Tameka Sky, with her imposing size and strength advantage, enters the ring for a handicap match against Perri Kent and Elita Galvez. The crowd anticipates a dominant display from Tameka, but unfortunately, the match fails to deliver. Right from the start, Tameka showcases her power with a series of thunderous slams, overwhelming her opponents; she executes a bone-jarring spinebuster on Perri, followed by a crushing sidewalk slam on Elita. Tameka's dominance is evident, but the lack of variety in her offense starts to take its toll and diminishes the excitement. Sadly, the crowd grows increasingly disinterested, craving a more dynamic and engaging contest. In the end, Tameka finishes off her opponents with a dominating display of strength. She hoists Perri into a “Sky High Choke Slam” and transitions into an Iron Claw for the surprising submission finish Winner: Tameka via submission 08:05 [31] Terrible match! Tameka carried the match Mariana Torres leaves the dressing room and almost immediately bumps into the imposing figure of Unstoppable Tai. Maribel Mercado makes her presence known, from behind Tai, using her as a shield… Mercado: Hola chica, going somewhere? Torres: Si. But I have something (gestures at Tai) in my way. What do you want? Mercado: I just wanted to check in. I’m really looking forward to our herstory making World Summit match; the very best luchardoras all in the ring at the same time… Well, almost all of them. You see, when I was assembling my team I wanted the most ruthless women, who embrace being bad. I think I did an excellent job but one woman didn’t return my call… [Maribel smirks as Mariana shifts uncomfortably] Mercado: Poison Ivy! She didn’t return any of my calls. It’s strange, she just disappeared apparently. Such a shame too! She was a big deal... I’m surprised that she would just give up that legacy to fade into obscurity… Torres: I don't care about any of this. Mercado: (mockingly) Oh, come on, Mariana. We all know the truth. You can't hide from your past. Poison Ivy was your identity, your dark side. And now, you expect us to believe you've left it all behind? Torres: (firmly) I have no connection to Poison Ivy. I am Mariana Torres, a completely different person. You can try and distract me but my only focus right now is defeating you at World Summit. Mercado: (raising an eyebrow) Well, Mariana Torres... If you say so, but, I have a feeling there's more to your story than you're letting on. Don't think you can escape your past so easily. Torres: (defiantly) My past does not define me so don't waste your time digging into it. [Mariana walks away, leaving Maribel standing there, intrigued yet determined to uncover the truth] [35] We cut to a pre-recorded segment; Hannah Potter is sat across from Suzanne Brazzle, both sat comfortably in arm-chairs… Potter: QAW faithful, it is my pleasure to welcome you to another of my in-depth interviews with the amazing roster of QAW. Tonight, we have the privilege of basking in the presence of none other than your reigning QAW World Champion, the "Miraculous" Suzanne Brazzle! Welcome, Suzanne. [Suzanne smiles disarmingly, her eyes shining with an eerie intensity] Brazzle: Hannah, my dear, I must say I am absolutely thrilled to be here. It's refreshing to see QAW finally hiring someone competent to conduct these interviews. [Hannah chuckles nervously, sensing the underlying unease] Potter: Well, Dharma does her best... Suzanne, your rise in QAW has been quite extraordinary. You've claimed victory after victory and now hold the top prize in the company. You've been very open that after the closure of AAA you faced some setbacks; you must be feeling quite triumphant? [Brazzle's smile widens and tilts her head slightly, her eyes fixated on Hannah] Brazzle: I have spent years honing my craft, accumulating wisdom and inner power. And now, my ascension is simply a testament to the divine forces at work in my life. I radiate confidence and clarity, spreading my gifts of enlightenment to my loyal Fallen Angels. Potter: Speaking of your Fallen Angels, they are all former members of AAA. You've proclaimed that you're here to dismantle QAW and rebuild it in your own image? [Brazzle's smile turns chillingly serene, her voice maintaining its sickly sweetness] Brazzle: Oh, my dear Hannah, it's not about destruction but rather purification. You see, Farrah, who betrayed the promotion that nurtured her, has left us no choice but to restore balance and justice. The anger I once felt has transformed into a guiding force of unwavering positivity. It whispers to me, urging me to rid QAW of its weaknesses and usher in a harmonious new beginning... Potter: And how do you plan to accomplish that? [Brazzle's eyes narrow slightly] Brazzle: Thankfully Farrah's own shortcomings have played into our hands. The mistreatment of Foxxy Larue and Ronin3 led to her personal downfall. But as for QAW, the Fallen Angels hold every championship here, making us the most dominant faction in its herstory. Our goal is to surpass the reigns that came before us, so when the world reflects upon QAW's legacy, they shall see our names shining above all. Let's examine the statistics, shall we? [The feed shifts to graphics] Longest QAW World Championship Reigns: 1st. Danielle Sweetheart – 11 months 2nd/3rd/4th. Miss Mexico/Jillian Jarvis/Foxxy Larue – 10 months 5th. Alina America – 9 months 6th. Juana Hurricane – 7 months 7th. Emma May – 6 months 8th. Suzanne Brazzle – 5 months Most defenses of the QAW World Championship: 1st. Danielle Sweetheart – 9 2nd. Alina America – 8 3rd/4th/5th. Miss Mexico/Jillian Jarvis/Juana Hurricane – 7 6th. Foxxy Larue – 5 7th. Emma May – 4 8th. Suzanne Brazzle – 3 Brazzle: As you can see, Hannah, I am at the beginning of my climb. But, with a victory over Helene Svensson at World Summit, I will soon surpass Emma May's reign entirely. And I will keep going until I reach Danielle. And the rest of the Fallen Angels will do the same with their respective titles. Potter: Okay, what lies beyond surpassing Danielle? What happens then? Brazzle: Once I have erased the champions before me, the new AAA will emerge, reclaiming its rightful place as the vanguard of women's wrestling worldwide. We may not be called AAA, that remains to be seen, but the promotion will be ours. Potter: Let's turn our attention to World Summit. You are scheduled to face Helene Svensson, who gained popularity in AAA with her reality show "Fighting In A Man's World." She's now returned with a show chronicling her journey to sign with USPW. This match is bound to attract significant attention. How do you feel about it? [Brazzle's smile takes on a disturbingly sinister edge, her voice still dripping with false sweetness] Brazzle: Ah, Helene. A worthy opponent with roots in AAA, and a student of mine and Joanne's. Her presence may unsettle some, and I appreciate their discomfort when someone who hasn't paid their dues jumps the queue. However, she has proven herself to be a worthy adversary. The main event at World Summit will serve as a testament to QAW's future, a prophecy painted with my vision. And mark my words, Hannah, it's going to be a masterpiece. [45] This segment got the crowd hotter Hannah was fantastic but struggled w/o a script-- huh? Trios Match /with "The Mexican Ace" Pinky Perez, Mariana Torres & Estrella Blanca Vs. Maribel Mercado, Purple Viper & Celeste Moon w/ Unstoppable Tai From the opening bell, Pinky and Maribel locked eyes, fueling the fire of their heated rivalry. They exchanged lightning-quick strikes, with Pinky landing a stiff forearm smash followed by a crisp snap suplex. Maribel retaliated with a series of kicks and a devastating DDT that left Pinky reeling. Purple Viper lived up to her reputation as a sneaky and dirty fighter. She took advantage of the referee's distraction and raked Pinky's eyes before delivering a cheap shot to the throat. The crowd voiced their disapproval as Purple Viper unleashed a flurry of underhanded tactics, including choking Pinky on the ropes and gouging at the eyes. Celeste Moon brought her aggressive style to the match, targeting Mariana with relentless strikes and at times seemed unstoppable. Mariana showcased her technical prowess though, countering Celeste's onslaught with grappling and impactful throws. She locked in an armbar, but Celeste managed to reach the ropes, forcing the break. Estrella Blanca added a touch of flair to the match, executing impressive aerial maneuvers. She leaped off the top rope, connecting with a beautiful crossbody that sent Purple Viper crashing to the canvas. Estrella followed up with a stunning springboard moonsault, but Celeste stomped Blanca in the back to break up the count. Throughout the match, Maribel strategically targeted Mariana's psyche. She taunted her with mocking gestures and derogatory comments, attempting to throw her off her game. Mariana, however, remained focused, and ignored Maribel for the most part. As the match reached its climax, chaos erupted in the ring. Bodies flew through the air as all six competitors unleashed their signature moves. Pinky looked to come out on top, hitting her “Pink Butterfly Bomb” [Double under-hook powerbomb] on Purple Viper, driving her into the mat with authority and floated over into a side cover. The referee refused to count as Viper wasn't legal, in the split seconds of confusion, Maribel crashed her High Altitude Leg Drop into the back of Pinky's head and scored the upset. Winners: Maribel, Viper & Celeste via pin 13:55 [53] Decent wrestling but little heat Pinky was head and shoulders above everyone else in terms of performance Maribel & Tai are a good pairing Show Rating: 50 Got hit with the lack of big names penalty... Womp womp After the show Emma May slated Felicia Luck and recommended she be let go Commissioner Bomb praised the work of Pinky Perez

This idea is so cool-- I need to put this in the game asap. 🤩 Awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome

Road to World Summit 1 Date: Sat W1 May 2021 Location: Oxford Arena, Texas [Mid South] Attendance: 840 people Broadcast on Wrestleworld: 19,635 viewers Dark matches: Juana Hurricane def. Coco Malloy [39] Alexis Lee Littlefeather def. Black Diamond [35] Singles Match "Miss Perfection" Fuyuko Higa vs. Simony Sentinel As the bell rings, Fuyuko wastes no time, immediately taking control of the match. She feints the less experienced Modesty into a tight clinch with lightning speed. From there, Fuyuko launches a barrage of knees before sweeping Modesty to the ground and taking a full mount. Her punches and forearms find their mark, crashing into Modesty’s head and arms as she attempts to cover. Eventually, the referee intervenes and warns Modesty to protect herself; Modesty, sensing the urgency, tries to mount a counter-attack. She retaliates with a series of well-executed kicks, displaying her agility and flexibility. However, Fuyuko's superior technique and adaptibility shine through as she expertly evades and blocks Modesty's strikes, nullifying her offence. With each passing moment, Fuyuko's dominance becomes more evident. She seamlessly transitions from strikes to grappling manoeuvres, taking Modesty to the mat and wrenching her limbs with relentless precision. As the match reaches its climax, Fuyuko unleashes a devastating combination of strikes, leaving Modesty reeling. Finally, taking pity on her opponent, Fuyuko runs the ropes and delivers a fluid "Green Higa Driver" [Destino]. With Modesty lying motionless, Fuyuko makes a cover. The referee slides into position, counting the pinfall. One! Two! Three! After the match, Fuyuko rises to her feet, her expression a mix of satisfaction and boredom. The crowd's reaction is somewhat muted, in awe of the dominance but also disappointed by the one-sided nature of the match. Winner: Fuyuko via pin 07:51 [50] Decent wrestling but not much heat Strong start to the show, and got the crowd hot We go backstage where Ronin3, with Vinny, are ready to cut a promo. Foxxy is flanked by Tameka and Toni, her arm in a sling, and looking very disgruntled... Foxxy: Listen up, world. Take a good look at this sling on my arm. Emma May, you can go ahead and take credit for it if you want 'cause I'm feeling mighty generous today. Lord knows you need something to distract you from the embarrassment of being abandoned by your sorry excuse of a team right in front of the whole damn world at Capital Clash. [She shakes her head, feigning sympathy] Foxxy: Sure, you fractured my elbow, but let me tell you something, sweetheart. I still pinned your sorry ass, and that's double the humiliation for you, which means double the pleasure for me. But don't think for a second that we're done here. Oh no, not by a long shot. [Foxxy momentarily pauses as Tameka loudly cracks her knuckles] Foxxy: You've been pissing me off for a long time, girl. I can't wrestle, which means you're messing with my money too and I don't like that either. But you see, Commissioner Bomb has given me an opportunity to exterminate The Furies once and for all. At World Summit, everyone knows you ain't got no friends left in this promotion. Nobody's gonna stand shoulder to shoulder with you. And let me assure you, the name Ronin3 still carries weight around here, so I'm very confident Team Foxxy is going to fill up quick. [She leans in, her voice dripping with anticipation] Foxxy: In fact, Team Foxxy is gonna tear apart what's left of your sorry excuse for a career. We're gonna pummel you into the ground so hard, you'll be begging never to be seen again. Facts are facts, bitch. [47] Foxxy improvised well, and came across strong Her hot catchphrase helped too Toni struggled, but her chemistry with Vinny helped Vinny helped the overall segment We find Emma sitting outside in the parking lot, leaning against her car... Emma: Well, look at this mess I'm in. You're looking at The Furies, or should I say, what's left of them. Can't say I didn't see it coming, but that doesn't mean it hurts any less. But, Foxxy, I may have come up short in our last bout, but I left my mark on you. [She raises her hand and forms a fist, mimicking the act of shattering an object] Emma: So, while my team may have crumbled, like your elbow, I find solace in the fact that I left a lasting impression on the leader of Ronin3. But let's look towards the future. I'm moving forward, and I'm moving forward with a vengeance. [She spreads her arms wide, as if embracing the chaos] Emma: At World Summit, you think the odds are against me? That it will be a 5-on-1 beatdown? Well, guess what? That just fires me up even more! Because backing me into a corner means I'm going to come out swinging harder than ever before. [She points a finger towards herself, her voice firm and resolute] Emma: I have a fire burning inside me, a determination that can't be extinguished. So, Foxxy, assemble your team, hand-pick your 'best'. But know this, they will be stepping into the ring with a woman who is ready to conquer any obstacle in her path. I will show everyone that I am "World Class" Emma May. [49] Emma improvised well Tag Team Match Flash Force [Carlotta & Suki] vs. The Uprising [Talia & Selina] Talia starts off by showcasing her power as she effortlessly rag-dolls Carlotta around the ring in a number of lock-ups, eventually executing a series of crisp and impactful back breakers that leave Carlotta struggling to stand. Selina eagerly awaits her turn to enter the fray. As Talia tags her in, Selina wastes no time in working Carlotta's back with various stretching holds. At one point, Selina manoeuvres herself onto Carlotta's back, grabbing both of her arms and pulling them backward. Simultaneously, Selina hooks her legs around Carlotta's midsection, arching her back and hyperextending the spine, applying excruciating pressure on the targeted area. On the other side of the ring, Suki Flash tries to rally the crowd. But The Uprising works seamlessly and keeps the pressure up on Carlotta, strategically isolating her from Suki. As the match nears its climax, Talia pulls Carlotta into an Argentine Backbreaker. Simultaneously, Selina intercepts a rescue attempt from Suki and drags her down into the "Svelte Scissorlock" [Rings of Saturn]. Talia then flips Carlotta from her shoulder into a sit-out facebuster, completing the "Spinal Trauma" [KoD]. Suki is seen tapping as Talia completes the cover. Winners: The Uprising via pin 09:35 [51] Decent wrestling but little heat Talia and Selina have great chemistry Got the crowd hotter After The Uprising make their exit, the music of Maribel Mercado hits. The COTT champion makes her way to the ring with her bodyguard Unstoppable Tai, ready to cut a promo in the ring... Maribel: QAW faithful, I graced you all with my presence tonight to give you a rare opportunity—the opportunity to bask in the brilliance of a true winner! Something you're probably not familiar with in this God-forsaken place. [Maribel struts around the ring, flaunting the COTT Championship as the crowd boos loudly] Maribel: Since my triumphant return to QAW, I've been untouchable. I swiftly captured this title, proving my dominance in a matter of weeks. Meanwhile, it took Pinky an entire year to achieve what I accomplished in mere moments, and let's not forget she had her lackey, Mariana Torres, propping her up! Can you believe the outrageous hype surrounding Pinky Perez? They call her the "Mexican Ace"? Ha! But let me tell you, I was here in QAW long before she even set foot in this ring. Yet, my talents went unappreciated, overshadowed by those far beneath me. [Maribel rolls her eyes dramatically, showing her disdain for Pinky] Maribel: So, I sought refuge in CILL, where they recognised my limitless talent. But no matter where I turned, people were blinded by Pinky Perez. I can't comprehend it. She's nowhere near as stunning as I am. She lacks the charisma that flows through my veins. And don't even get me started on her wrestling skills. She's a mere shadow compared to the performer I am. [Maribel smirks, exuding arrogance and superiority] Maribel: When I discovered Pinky was trying to break into QAW, it simply didn't sit right with me. I couldn't let her tarnish this place with her presence. That's why I made the decision to return, to remind each and every one of you that I am the future of women's wrestling. It's Maribel Mercado who possesses the true beauty, talent, and skills that should be celebrated, not Pinky Perez! [Pinky's music hits, interrupting Maribel's speech. Pinky walks out to a warm reception from the crowd] Pinky: Maribel, congratulations on cheating and scheming your way to victory! But when you take shortcuts, it just doesn't feel as good as when you earn it the right way. And that bitter feeling eating you up every step of the way? That's your conscience trying to catch up with you. Unfortunately, for all your beauty and talent, you don't have any soul. [Maribel interrupts with a scoff, rolling her eyes] Maribel: (mockingly) I don't have a soul? Pinky: (firmly) Soul. Conscience. Morals. Call it what you want. From day one in CILL, you've shown your true colours, and that's why you're only half as successful as you think you should be. [Maribel crosses her arms, fuming with annoyance] Maribel: I'm not successful? I defeated you twice for the CILL Championship. I'm the COTT Women's World Champion! I have the belt you want so badly. Pinky: I'm not talking about that. That's your problem, Maribel. You think winning by any means will make you beloved, but it doesn't work that way. Every night, I step into that ring and give my all. Win or lose, I do it with honour. And that's why people respond to me because they see themselves in someone who puts in the hard work, fights with integrity, and respects this sport. [The crowd cheers loudly for Pinky, frustrating Maribel] Maribel: Respect? Respect doesn't put championships around your waist, Pinky. Respect doesn't bring success. And if you're too naïve to realise that, then you're just setting yourself up for failure. [Pinky smirks confidently, looking directly at Maribel] Pinky: Maybe in your twisted world, success is measured by titles and shortcuts. But for me, success is measured by the impact I make on people's lives, the inspiration I provide to those who look up to me. At World Summit, I am going to lead a team of fellow luchadoras who share that vision. And that's why we've already won, even before stepping into the ring. [Maribel scoffs, showing her disbelief] Maribel: Okay, sure. So, in that token, I must be leading a horde of evildoers! And even if I am, my hand-selected team represents everything I value in lucha libre: power, ruthlessness, beauty, and, most of all, violence! At World Summit, the story won't change. Maribel Mercado will come out on top, just where I like it. And I'll relish the opportunity to remind everyone here that you just ain't worth the hype. [Pinky smirks back at Maribel, unfazed] Pinky: Didn't you hear me before? I've already won. [48] Pinky has a stale gimmick [Mexican Ace] Unstoppable Tai has a stale gimmick [Monster] Maribel improved her gimmick [Devious] We cut to outside the lockerroom of Ronin3, where Tameka Sky is standing guard. Hellcat and Ashley approach and ask to speak with Foxxy. At first Tameka turns them away but Foxxy hears the commotion and opens the door… Foxxy: (slyly) What do we have here? You two think you're worthy enough to join Team Foxxy? You must have heard the word on the street that I'm assembling the baddest women in this promotion. [Hellcat and Ashley share a mocking chuckle before responding] Ashley: Consider my application submitted when I smashed a steel chair into Danielle Sweetheart’s skull. Or when I took out Alina and helped you score that ‘big win’ a couple of months ago... Hellcat: I don’t need to explain myself to you. [Foxxy eyes Hellcat] Foxxy: Very compelling. I will have to take it into consideration with the other interested parties. Hellcat: Spare us the crap, Fox. We all know you couldn't convince a soul to join Ronin3 until Tameka came into the picture. No one's exactly lining up to be on your team. [Hellcat looks around the empty hallway] Ashley: (petulantly) Consider this a one-time offer. Last year, at Triosmania, Emma treated me like dirt when we teamed up. Hellcat: (sadistically) And I owe her a receipt from Night of Champions. She almost broke my neck! Ashley: What we’re saying is you want the best at World Summit, you’ve got it. And in return, we get to take chunks out of Emma May. [Foxxy takes a moment to contemplate the offer] Foxxy: (leaning in, with a sly grin) Well, girls, it seems we've got ourselves a deal. But let's not forget who's calling the shots here. [Hellcat and Ashley nod, acknowledging Foxxy's authority] Hellcat: Whatever you say, Foxxy. At World Summit, we're all gonna survive the match and get the sweet revenge we're owed. Foxxy: (confidently) You know it, baby. Facts are facts, and the fact is, we're gonna show 'em how it's done. [50] Fox worked the crowd well Ashley worked the crowd well Hellcat did a masterful job Trios Match /with Unstoppable Tai, "100% Rudo" Raquel Alvarado & Little Miss Perfect vs. "Red Alert" Pamela Rojo, Darkness Cat & Estrella Blanca w/ Miss Mexico The bell rings, and the match starts with Darkness and LMP locked in a fierce grappling exchange. It's evident from the outset that LMP is off her game, seemingly preoccupied by recent events with Christy Higgins. Sensing the opportunity, Darkness unleashes her lightning-fast agility, effortlessly bewildering LMP. With a deft leap, Darkness propels herself off the top rope, delivering a devastating dropkick that lands squarely on LMP's jaw. The impact makes the entire arena wince, but it only serves to further frustrate LMP, who finds herself outclassed in every aspect. Growing increasingly desperate, she resorts to underhanded tactics, tugging at Darkness' mask and grabbing at her tights in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage. Yet, Darkness rises above these cheap shots, evading the majority of LMP's desperate attempts, leaving LMP seething. Just when Darkness seems to have the upper hand, Raquel's interference distracts her, providing LMP with the opportunity to tag out to Unstoppable Tai. As Darkness and Tai lock eyes, Darkness appears poised to take on the formidable giant. However, before she can make her move, Pamela's voice reverberates throughout the arena, demanding the tag. The crowd joins in, urging Darkness to let Rojo in. Pamela rushes Tai and unleashes a barrage of thunderous forearms, seeking to assert her dominance. Tai, resilient and unyielding, absorbs the punishing blows, showcasing her durability. With an earth-shattering elbow strike, Tai retaliates and roars in defiance. The two powerhouses trade blows, each strike resonating with force. Tai looks to gain the advantage and throws a wild haymaker that Pamela ducks. She counters with a well-executed German suplex, hoisting Tai off her feet and dumping her unceremoniously on the back of her head. However, Tai is not one to be overpowered. Rising with determination, she charges Rojo with a shoulder tackle and showcases her own strength, executing a delayed vertical suplex. The back-and-forth continues, with both women engaging in power moves. Throughout, Miss Mexico provides encouragement to keep Pamela focused. Eventually, though, it becomes clear that Tai is the stronger woman and begins to assert her dominance, prompting Rojo to tag out. Darkness re-enters the fray with a well-devised plan, maintaining regular tags with Blanca to keep Tai on her toes and regain the advantage. Blanca springs off the ropes, executing a double rotation hurricanrana. As Tai struggles to regain her composure, Blanca tags in Darkness, who springs onto the top rope and lands a flawless "Black Cat Moonsault." The referee swoops down to count, but Raquel charges into the ring, forcefully breaking up the pinfall. The match descends into chaos as all six women engage in an all-out brawl, pushing the referee's ability to restore order to the limits. Amidst the bedlam, Raquel, seizing an opportunity, executes a blind tag and rolls up Blanca for a pin, only to be reminded by the referee that Darkness is the legal woman. A heated argument ensues between Raquel and the referee, while Darkness and Pamela successfully execute a legal tag. With a burst of energy, Estrella and Darkness take out Tai and LMP. As Raquel finds herself spinning around, Pamela delivers a powerful forearm to her face, stunning her. Rojo swiftly lifts Raquel onto her shoulder, parading around the ring before slamming her down with authority in a thunderous "Big Red" power slam. The referee's hand slaps the mat for the count: "One, two, three!". Winners: Rojo, Darkness & Blanca via pin 14:40 [52] Decent wrestling, little heat LMP was off her game Show Rating: 51

Now the June/July have fired up, did this one finish...?

Awesome renders. You've breathed life into Karen Bilous-- It's a shame she is mostly retired but what a cool monster render. Also I typically put Thea and Zofia in a tag team and they look well suited together. Really cool!

Thank you @willr0ck, they all look amazing!! For some context, I write a QAW diary and I'm gearing up for a re-brand as the Americana vibe, to me, did not suit the promotion. So the narrative is that they are evolving and gearing up to tackle the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Technically that's N America but QNAW didn't sound right... So Queens of American Wrestlings covers the Americas, including S America if it existed in the game...! In terms of the belts, I'm a big STARDOM fan so borrowed heavily from their belts in terms of colours and meanings. World title -- The Gold belt. For the best wrestlers in the promotion. Supernova title -- The Silver/White belt. All about the fighting spirit. An Upper/Main event level belt, but not necessarily about being the best wrestler. Much more story line driven. Tag and Trios are explanatory but the shades of Blue and Purple are just nice and regal. Nova title -- The Green belt for the green wrestlers. The most obvious nod to STARDOM's future belt. Wrestlers must be under 26 years old, or have less than four years of wrestling experience regardless of age. And last but not least, still using a previous version of Will's Shockwave design as the red belt which is now more about luchadoras/high speed wrestling.

Hannah Potter sits across from Darkness Cat, ready to conduct the sit-down interview. Darkness Cat is dressed in her wrestling attire... Potter: Welcome, QAW faithful. My name is Hannah Potter, but, I’m sure you knew that already! It is my pleasure to be here tonight to conduct the first of a series of sit-down interviews with some of the amazing Queens of American Wrestling! My first guest is known for risking every one of her nine lives with every performance, the sensational Darkness Cat! Cat: Gracias, Hannah. It's my pleasure to be here. Potter: Let's dive right into your incredible journey, Darkness Cat. I discovered you have a background in gymnastics and modelling, which is quite intriguing. Can you share with us how those experiences influenced your path to becoming a luchadora? Cat: Well, at a young age, I discovered a passion for gymnastics in school. The grace and athleticism captured my heart, and I was really good at it! I'm not going to sugar coat it but I was in the foster system until I aged out. I don't know anything about my father, but I know my mother gave me up at a very young age. I think she was too young to look after me. Maybe she had me in secret? Who knows but I like to think she thought she was making the best decision for me. Anyway, I moved around a lot growing up with various foster families and my education suffered, and I had no friends. But, I was always able to find gymnastics and that kept me grounded. I had to grow up fast though, and I wanted to look after myself financially so during my high school years I ventured into the world of modelling. Potter: I think everyone at home would commend you for your courage growing up in that situation. It's impressive you preserved with your pursuits, but how did you balance it with your schooling? [Darkness giggles] Cat: Honestly? I was never a good student. Once I started earning my own money and supporting myself, I made the decision to drop out of school, and it was the best decision I ever made. I loved the glamour and artistry of modelling, and it was during a commercial shoot that I met a stunt woman. She blew my mind. Everything fell into place when I saw her perform. That's what I wanted to do, so I started training! Potter: How old were you at that point? Cat: Sixteen... I may have stretched the truth about my age back then! (Darkness laughs guiltily) Anyway, I lived a cheap lifestyle and poured my modelling money into training in martial arts, wire work, driving, horseback riding, water stunts—anything and everything. I did it, and I loved every second of it. Potter: You achieved so much at such a young age! It's really remarkable! So, how did you discover lucha libre amidst all of this training? Cat: Well, lucha libre is a big deal in Mexico, so I watched it growing up. But during high school, I was preoccupied with other things! So it was not long after I started training for stunt work, I was out with some of the other students, and we happened to catch a big SOTBPW show, and Jennifer Heat took a bump. It was like a light bulb moment. The gymnastics, the modelling, the stunt work—it all came together right before my eyes. But I didn't want to be a valet, I wanted to be in the ring. So, I signed up for a wrestling school the very next day. Potter: It sounds like everything aligned perfectly for you. So, after enrolling in the wrestling school, what was your experience like? And when did you come up with the moniker "Darkness Cat"? Cat: Well, Hannah, I wholeheartedly embraced the world of lucha libre. I continued modelling and training to be a stunt woman. Lets just say I didn't get much time to myself back then. These two pursuits certainly accelerated my progress and I made my professional debut at the age of 19, and I never looked back. As for "Darkness Cat," I adopted that persona early on. You see, cats have always held a special place in Mexican heritage, the more I delved into the mystical stories and legends surrounding cats in Mexican folklore, the more captivated I became. Potter: So, it was more than just adopting a persona. It was a way to honour your Mexican heritage as well? Cat: Absolutely. A black cat is prone to superstition. You could say that I had an unlucky start in life, so I thought why not embrace that? I overcame it after all. The grace and independence that cats embody resonated with me on a personal level. When I wear this mask I become fearless. Potter: Amazing insight. So, even though we are at the very start of your career we know that you got your big break very quickly with QAW, at the age of 19 as well. How did that come to be? Cat: Well, it was through Madame Bat, a legend and the first QAW Shockwave champion. I'll never forget the day she approached me after one of my matches, wrestling in front of just 10 people. She saw something in me, something she believed would shine bright in QAW. And here I am, almost eleven years later. Time flies! Potter: That must have been an incredible feeling. How were those early years in QAW? Cat: I packed up everything I had and moved closer to the border. QAW quickly became my second home. The experience was invaluable—the competition, the caliber of talent, and the guidance from people like Madame Bat, Miss Mexico, and Farrah. I still have a lot to learn, though. I never want to leave. Potter: Well, in 2016, you had another big break? Cat: Yes! I was signed by CILL, which fortunately is QAW's sister promotion. So, I was encouraged to split my time between the two. While I am proud of everything I've done in QAW—and continue to be—something wasn't quite clicking. I think my style was just more suited to the CILL audience. Potter: And just two years later, you won your first-ever world title from Lady Liberty! Cat: It was the greatest accomplishment of my career. To be recognised as the leader of that division of very talented luchadoras was awe-inspiring. It gave me that same thrill I got from my stunt work, but even more exhilarating. It was intoxicating, and I pray that I get to have that experience again. Potter: With that said, what do you hope to achieve in the future, Darkness Cat? Cat: I'm going to continue my stunt work, of course! And I want to keep pushing boundaries, defying expectations, and captivating fans. I aspire to become a luchadora who leaves a lasting impact, I want this mask to mean something! I also want to inspire the next generation of wrestlers to fearlessly chase their dreams, just like I did. And most of all... I want to be a QAW champion. I'm ready. Potter: Darkness Cat, you are an incredible force, and I have no doubt that your journey will continue to amaze us all. Thank you for sharing your inspiring story with us today. Cat: Thank you, Hannah. It's been a pleasure. Remember, embrace the darkness and let your spirit soar!

QAW Bombshell Airing on QAW.Com We join Commissioner Bomb sat behind her desk... Bomb: Welcome to my office, QAW Faithful! As we gear up for our next event, World Summit, it is my pleasure to announce the huge main event, as well as the two World Summit elimination matches that will take place. As with every World Summit match, there are great spoils to the survivors, so without further ado... The rivalry between Pinky Perez and Maribel Mercado has spilled out of CILL and into QAW, and we couldn't be happier to see it! Maribel has caused Pinky a shoulder injury, her COTT Women's World Championship, the QAW World Tag Team Championships, and at Capital Clash, she and Fuyuko came away victorious in Pinky's return match from injury! But, as Fuyuko scored the pin, I still think there is mileage between the two luchadoras. So, at QAW World Summit, it is my pleasure to announce that Pinky and Maribel have already assembled teams comprising some of the greatest luchadoras south of the border in a first-time-ever match of this magnitude! Let's take a look: TEAM PINKY PEREZ "The Mexican Ace" Pinky Perez Age: 30 Experience: 11 years Nationality: Mexican Style: Luchadora Signature Moves: Pink Butterfly Bomb [Double under-hook power bomb] Career Highlights: 5 x CILL Women's World Champion 1 x COTT Women's World Champion (first-ever) 1 x QAW World Tag Team Champion [w/ Mariana Torres] "The Mexican Ace" Pinky Perez is one of the best luchadoras in the world. An all-rounder who fights with admirable fire in her heart, she was signed to be part of CILL's debut women's roster after impressing on independent shows around Mexico. The fans soon got behind her, loving her never-say-die attitude, and it was no surprise that she was soon in possession of the CILL World Women's Championship. Having become one of CILL's breakout stars, in 2019 Perez also started working for QAW in Texas. Debuting in March alongside the mysterious Mariana Torres, they have gone on to great success. Pinky has also enjoyed solo success, becoming the first-ever COTT Women's World Champion. Mariana Torres Age: 33 Experience: 13 years Nationality: Mexican Style: Technician Signature Moves: The Venus Fly Trap [Rolling arm-bar] Career Highlights: 1 x QAW World Tag Team Champion [w/ Pinky Perez] Electric Dreamer Mariana Torres arrived at QAW in 2019 alongside Pinky Perez as "Las Amazonas" and quickly became one of the top tag teams in the promotion. There are heavy rumors that Mariana is the luchadora known as Poison Ivy, but this has been dismissed by Mariana and Pinky. Electric Dreamer Age: 30 Experience: 11 years Nationality: Mexican Style: Luchadora Signature Moves: Electric Blue Bomb [Sunset flip bomb] Career Highlights: 3 x OLLIE Women's World Champion 1 x Reigning OLLIE Women's Trios Champion [w/ Mystery Pink & Purple Viper] 1 x Inaugural and reigning COTT Women's World Tag Team Champion [w/ Ursula Saez] The masked luchadora Electric Dreamer is a high flyer who made a strong name for herself on the independent circuit with two years' worth of great matches before being signed by OLLIE at the start of 2012. A bright and energetic personality, the fans naturally get behind her, and she's extremely marketable. She has become one of OLLIE's primary tecnicas of any gender. Electric Dreamer has recently struck up a great tag team with Ursula Saez as "Overpowered" and is simultaneously working for OLLIE and CILL, where it looks like it's only a matter of time until she conquers that promotion as well. "The Mayan Mauler" Ursula Saez Age: 30 Experience: 9 years Nationality: Mexican Style: Powerhouse Signature Moves: Leaping Side Suplex Career Highlights: 1 x Inaugural and reigning COTT Women's World Tag Team Champion [w/ Electric Dreamer] 1 x Inaugural and reigning GDR Women's Champion 1 x Inaugural and reigning GDR Women's Tag Team Champion [w/ Diamante Acroisis] 1 x GDR Trios Champion [w/ Diamante Acroisis & Antonia Andres] "The Mayan Mauler" Ursula Saez is a Mexican luchadora of Mayan descent who has been wrestling since late 2011. She is very powerful, known for her thick torso and legs that allow her to generate a lot of power and toss her opponents around with ease. Since late 2016, she has been working as part of the OLLIE women's division. Originally a rudo, the fans took to her so much that they effectively forced a tecnico turn. Ursula has an ongoing "brawn vs. sneakiness" feud with Bizarro, which has gotten both women over. In the last year, Ursula has struck up an excellent tag team with Electric Dreamer as "Overpowered." She is also dominating the new luchadora promotion GDR. Estrella Blanca Age: 32 Experience: 12 years Nationality: Mexican Style: Luchadora Signature Moves: Northern Lights Suplex Career Highlights: 3 x CILL Women's World Champion (first-ever) 1 x Reigning CILL Women's World Tag Team Champion [w/ La Hija De Phoenix] 1 x Inaugural and reigning TRPW TV Champion Estrella Blanca (Anna Cruz) is a high-flying luchadora who made history when she became the first-ever holder of the CILL World Women's Championship in January 2011. Charismatic and a fine performer in the ring, Estrella Blanca is at the forefront of the rise of the luchadora and is one of the most vocal advocates for women's wrestling in Mexico. Blanca has recently been appearing for QAW, as well as the fledgling luchadora promotion TRPW. TEAM MARIBEL MERCADO Maribel Mercado Age: 30 Experience: 12 years Nationality: Mexican Style: Entertainer Signature Moves: High Altitude Leg Drop Career Highlights: 1 x Reigning COTT Women's World Champion 2 x CILL Women's World Champion 1 x QAW Shockwave Champion 1 x Reigning TRPW Women's Champion Maribel Mercado is a Mexican luchadora noted for her flame-red hair and attire, which is a deliberate nod to Miss Mexico, one of her favorite wrestlers when she was growing up. After two years working on the independent circuit in her home country, Mercado built up enough of a reputation to be hired by QAW in Texas. She spent four years with the company, often teaming up with her idol Miss Mexico, before leaving in 2014 to work full-time for CILL, her hometown company. Mercado has improved significantly in the six years since she left QAW and has turned into a fabulous rudo. She has become a significant draw for CILL. After feuding for several years with Pinky Perez over the World Championship, she has decided to return to QAW and disrupt Pinky's momentum by any means necessary. Purple Viper Age: 36 Experience: 15 years Nationality: Mexican Style: Luchadora Signature Moves: Viper Bite [Spiked meteora] Career Highlights: 1 x OLLIE Women's World Champion 1 x Inaugural and reigning OLLIE Women's Trios Champion [w/ Electric Dreamer & Mystery Pink] 1 x QAW Shockwave Champion Purple Viper is an experienced luchadora known for her great look, pairing a bright pink mask with a veritable expanse of wild blonde hair. She first came to fame in America with a five-year run in QAW before heading back to Mexico to sign with OLLIE, her favorite company growing up, in 2015. Her experience and in-ring savvy have been key in turning the women's division into a big commercial success. She has recently entered an entertaining odd-trio storyline with long-standing rivals Electric Dreamer and Mystery Pink, where they became the first-ever Women's Trios Champions. Queen Amazon Age: 34 Experience: 14 years Nationality: Mexican Style: Powerhouse Signature Moves: Amazonian Powerbomb [Sit-out powerbomb] Career Highlights: 4 x OLLIE Women's World Champion 1 x Inaugural and reigning OLLIE Women's World Tag Team Champion [w/ La Hija Del Diablo] 1 x CILL Women's World Tag Team Champion (first-ever) [w/ Jaguar Queen] Queen Amazon is a powerhouse luchadora who loves to bulldoze her opponents with running tackles, slams, clubbing forearms, and her finisher, the deadly Amazonian Powerbomb. She came to people's attention on the independent circuit and was signed in 2011 to be one of the founding four members of the new OLLIE luchadora's division. Although she failed to win the tournament to crown the first-ever Campeón de las Mujeres, she later unseated Luchadora Original to become the second champion. She is now firmly established as one of the big guns of the division and teams up with La Hija Del Diablo as "The Queens of the Damned." She also shocked the world by showing up in CILL and aligning with Jaguar Queen to become the first-ever Women's Tag Champions. Celeste Moon Age: 32 Experience: 12 years Nationality: Mexican Style: Luchadora Signature Moves: Moon Lander [Top rope double stomp] Career Highlights: 4 x Reigning OLLIE Women's World Champion Celeste Moon is the luchadora formerly known as Águila Azul Celeste, best known as one of the founding members of OLLIE's women's division. She is a good all-rounder with admirable technical skills. In 2017, she turned on her "Electric Blue Moon" tag partner Electric Dreamer, giving her a vicious edge that helped take her to the next level. Changing her ring name to Celeste Moon, she quickly became the top rudo in OLLIE. She has also made a handful of well-received appearances for QAW in the past. Recently, she has shown up in CILL and has been tagging with Maribel Mercado. La Hija Del Diablo Age: 30 Experience: 11 years Nationality: Mexican Style: Luchadora Signature Move: Diablo Driver [Michinoku Driver] Career Highlights: 1 x OLLIE Women's World Champion 1 x Inaugural and reigning OLLIE Women's World Tag Team Champion [w/ Queen Amazon] La Hija Del Diablo is a speedy luchadora who was relatively unknown prior to joining OLLIE's women's division in 2012. Quick as a cat, she attacks with lots of fast armdrags, ranas, and dropkicks to keep her opponents off balance. Over the course of her OLLIE career, she has developed into a very solid worker. She is well known for her tag team with Queen Amazon as "The Queens of the Damned". Bomb: Moving on to wider news, our sister promotion in Japan 5SSW, recently held their biggest show of the year: Joshimania 26! The main event saw the 5SSW World Champion, HEART Saitoh, retain against Toku Kijmuta. The Uprising were also in action, successfully defending their 5SSW Tag Championships against The Storm Dragons. "Prominent absences were observed during the most significant event of the year, as Fuyuko Higa, Shiori Jippensha, Gemmei Oonishi, and Unstoppable Tai, all members of the Japanese Clenched Fist faction, were noticeably missing. Additionally, it has been noted that these individuals received limited opportunities during the Joshimania tour. It is widely recognised that these four women are among the biggest stars of 5SSW, and their absence from the marquee show has sparked outrage among fans worldwide. While the 5SSW camp has chosen to remain silent on the matter, Fuyuko Higa has taken to social media to express her frustration, stating that she is prepared to explore new opportunities if 5SSW fails to recognise her talents. We will continue to closely monitor this story and provide updates as it unfolds." Bomb: Significant news has emerged from CWA this week as "The Franchise" Brooke Tyler departed from the company after opting not to renew her contract. Critics have theorised that the inaugural CWA Women's World Champion grew increasingly displeased with the title remaining vacant for nearly four months during Lauren Easter's maternity leave. Numerous individuals have criticized CWA for seemingly withholding the championship from the division in Lauren's absence. Reports from insider publications indicate that Brooke was vocal about her readiness, as well as that of Nadia Snow and Laura Flame, to step up and fill the void. "This development follows the devastating loss of Amber Allen last year, who tragically lost her life in a car accident. It was widely known that Amber and Brooke shared a close friendship, leading many to speculate that this might have played a role in Brooke's decision to seek new opportunities outside of CWA. Perhaps she was inspired by the recent actions of Tiffany Jade, who departed from USPW to pursue work in Mexico. The entire QAW community wishes Brooke all the best in finding happiness and, hopefully, we eagerly anticipate her potential arrival at QAW in the near future." Bomb: Lastly, let's take a look at the happenings in the Confederation of the Territories Alliance! Our comrades at CILL recently hosted their "Maniaco" event, attracting an audience of 25k viewers! Our very own Pinky Perez emerged victorious over the women's champion, Catalina Vasquez, via disqualification, as Catalina chose to deliberately get counted out. Consequently, Pinky won the match but not the coveted title. Determined, she has pledged to claim the championship next time by any means necessary. On the undercard, Maribel Mercado secured a victory in her match, while the tag team of Estrella Blanca and La Hija Del Phoenix successfully retained their CILL Women's Tag Team Championships. "Meanwhile, OLLIE staged their renowned event, Luchamania XXVI, in front of a capacity crowd of 22k fans! Celeste Moon successfully defended the women's title against Tiffany Jade, Villana Dos, and Mystery Pink. The Queens of the Damned managed to retain the tag team titles against the unorthodox duo of Purple Viper and Electric Dreamer. Additionally, on the undercard, both La Hija Del Phoenix and La Mariposa emerged triumphant in their respective matches. In earlier events this week at IPW Mayhem, Overpowered retained the COTT Women's Tag Championships, and Yuki Moore caused a massive upset by capturing the Women's Championship from Chris Amerson in a triple threat match where Chris was not even pinned! Speculation has arisen that Chris sustained an injury during the match and had to be stretchered out afterward." Bomb: It is with deep regret that we report following Capital Clash Danielle Sweetheart suffered a concussion at the hands of Ashley Keith and will be unable to compete at World Summit. Additionally, Foxxy Larue endured an elbow fracture during her match with Emma May, which means she will be out of the ring for at least two months. "Undoubtedly, this is a devastating blow to Foxxy, who has been steadily building momentum in recent times. However, her inability to compete does not diminish her capacity to lead her own team at World Summit! Yes, it will be Team Foxxy Larue versus Team Emma May at the grand event! They now have a mere four weeks to assemble their respective teams. And now, to culminate today's show, I promised you an extraordinary main event, and I assure you, it's a spectacle to behold! The contract was officially signed this morning, and at World Summit, your esteemed QAW World Champion, Suzanne Brazzle, will go head-to-head with AAA alumna and global sensation... Helene Svensson! That's right, your beloved reality TV wrestling star will be shooting a brand new season of her sensational show right here with us at QAW World Summit! This match holds the promise of being the most illustrious and high-stakes encounter QAW has ever witnessed!"

This game, and writing diaries, is 100% something that comes in waves! Go at your own pace and if you're not having fun, move onto something else and come back to it

Justice for Misery Loves Company! I assume that's the name... 😛

I'll find you on Discord-- just so you know, it says you can't receive messages so maybe it's a setting somewhere?

I’ve just caught up with it all— I really like this diary! I have a soft spot for this era of TNA and the challenges it had— I think you’ve booked around it really well! Also, the women’s division is golden age level! Gail, Melina, Mickie, Tara, Sarita, Brooke, Taryn, Madison, ODB, Eve… Velvet I guess… that’s pretty stacked! Would be great to see Jazz return, maybe in a tag team with Jackie Moore. Also, would be great to see Daffney, Kong, Alyssa Flash, and OG Trinity, have their shine properly! I’m predicting a Beautiful People return as well to take on the Perfect Tens…

Can I swing in on a slot But can I DM my requests instead, please?

Capital Clash is in the books! The last round of prediction prizes involved some booking choices such as @Theheel wanting to see Skye Hermosa/Kira Lee make their way over to QAW in the Shockwave picture, which was covered in the road to shows! Expect to see more of them, particularly Kira Lee in the future. @KyTeran wanted to see a feud between Lilly & Rose and Tex-Mex which I think is safe to say is in full swing! More to come between those two teams. And lastly, @christmas_ape, thought Lady San Juan should be part of the Miracle Challenge, which was also completed on one of the road to shows. We'll see a bit more of them too... In terms, of Capital Clash @smw88 took the clean sweep with 6/6. Interestingly, I kept everyone else at 4/6, seems like opinions were split regarding the three tag team matches. But the majority had total faith in Ronin3, Pamela, and Fallen Angels taking their wins. I'll message everyone with their booking decisions, with SMW getting to book at the top of the card. Also, the top rudo in QAW is: Foxxy Larue! Kudos @Theheel Top tecnico is: Alina America! Kudos @KyTeran& @christmas_ape For every vote a wrestler received I awarded +1 in popin USA, Mex & Can, and +2 if it was a correct guess. The next prediction round will be for World Summit, after the four "Road to" shows. Bit of a cardinal sin to book a show with no title matches, though... But I'd booked myself into a corner as usual. I only just turned Emma, have I been giving her tecnico vibes this whole time?!

Capital Clash Date: Sat W4 April 2021 Location: Austin, Texas [Mid South] Attendance: 966 people Broadcast on Wrestleworld: 20,418 viewers Dark matches: Darkness Cat, Estrella Blanca & Modesty Pador def. Black Diamond, Felicia Luck & Danger Mushashibo [43] Storm Front [Juana, Sonnaz & Alexis] def. Little Miss Perfect, Raquel Alvarado & Millie the Minx [48] On commentary: Alfonso Garcia & Joanne 'JRO' Rodriguez Garcia: Welcome QAW faithful to Capital Clash! My name is Alfonso Garcia, and by my side, the err... Legend! Joanna Rodriguez! JRO: Cat caught your tongue tonight, Alfonso? Garcia: Oh, you know me, Joanna. Just saving my words for the explosive matches we have lined up. The return of Las Amazonas, the finals of the Tag Tournament, and The Furies taking on Ronin3! Can you believe it? JRO: Don't forget, we've also got the Fallen Angels making their presence felt tonight. Garcia: Ah, yes, the Fallen Angels, always stirring up trouble. How could I forget? And let's not overlook the intense main event, where grudges collide. Alina America and Danielle Sweetheart facing off against Hellcat Hernandez and Ashley Keith. JRO: Finally, something you didn't forget, Alfonso. Garcia: Well, you know, I'm just trying to keep you on your toes, Joanna. But enough talk. It's time to head to the ring for the long-awaited return of Las Amazonas, as they take on the formidable team of Fuyuko Higa and the CILL Women's World Champion Maribel Mercado! JRO: Now that's a matchup worth watching. Let's not keep the fans waiting any longer. It's time for the action to unfold at Capital Clash! Tag Team Match Las Amazonas [Mariana & Pinky] vs. "Miss Perfection" Fuyuko Higa & Maribel Mercado The match started with a tense standoff between Pinky and Maribel. Pinky, fueled by her pent-up aggression, charged at Maribel with a flurry of powerful strikes, overwhelming her with her superior strength and athleticism. Pinky's relentless assault left Maribel reeling, struggling to find an answer to her opponent's ferocity. She resorted to cowardly tactics, seizing a momentary opening to deliver a well-placed rake to Pinky's eyes, temporarily blinding her and shifting the momentum in her favour. With a devious grin on her face, Maribel continued the assault by swiftly sidestepping Pinky's clumsy oncoming attack, causing Pinky to crash shoulder-first into the turnbuckle. The impact elicited a pained cry from Pinky as she clutched her injured shoulder, clearly in discomfort. Maribel followed up with a precise kick to Pinky's shoulder, causing a sharp jolt of pain to surge through her arm. Maribel charged Pinky down with a swift shoulder tackle directly aimed at Pinky's weakened joint. The impact reverberated through Pinky's body, causing her to grit her teeth in agony. But Pinky showed fighting spirit and quickly got to her feet, only for Maribel to execute a skillful arm drag, yanking Pinky's weakened arm and shoulder, causing her to crash onto the mat with a resounding thud. Undeterred, Maribel hooked Pinky's injured arm into a vicious hammerlock and began wrenching. Sensing an opportunity, Maribel started dragging Pinky closer to Fuyuko, who had her hand outstretched. But just as the tag was about to be made, Pinky launched a desperate counterattack and scored an enzuigiri. The crowd erupted as Pinky rolled towards Mariana and scored a hot tag. Mariana charged into the ring towards Maribel and unleashed a flurry of quick strikes, showcasing her luchadora agility as she evaded Maribel's attempts to counter. Mariana rallied the crowd and treated them to a springboard crossbody, followed by a pop-up hurricanrana that sent Maribel sprawling into her corner and tagged out. Fuyuko exuded a fierce aura as she wasted no time in closing in on Mariana. After a feeling-out process, Fuyuko had the measure of Mariana and peppered her with stiff kicks. Transitioning seamlessly between strikes and submissions, Fuyuko showcased her technical prowess. She trapped Mariana in painful joint locks, torquing her limbs and applying excruciating pressure. Just as it seemed Mariana was on the brink of defeat, Pinky rallied for the hot tag, which spurred Mariana's comeback. Fighting through the pain, she managed to deliver a series of forearm strikes and kicks of her own. She then ducked Fuyuko's clothesline attempt, rebounded off the ropes, and flattened Fuyuko with a crossbody block. With the crowd behind her, Mariana reached out, desperate to make the tag. However, just as she was about to, Maribel slyly pulled Pinky off the apron and into a brawl on the outside. Mariana's attention was diverted as she watched the heated exchange on the arena floor. In that moment, Fuyuko rolled Mariana up from behind in a swift pinning combination. The referee slid into position, counting the pinfall as the crowd gasped in disbelief. One! Two! Three! Fuyuko rose to her feet, her expression a mix of satisfaction and determination. She glanced at the ongoing chaos between Maribel and Pinky on the outside and exited the ring, happy with her work. Meanwhile, Mariana slowly got back to her feet, full of disappointment as Pinky rolled into the ring to console her while Maribel celebrated her triumphant hold of the COTT Women's Championship high above her head. Winners: Fuyuko & Maribel via pin 12:30 [59] Good wrestling and decent reaction Pinky was head and shoulders above everyone else [even Fuyuko!!!] Mariana struggled to keep up wtih everyone else This got the show off to a strong start Garcia: What a hard-fought match we just witnessed! The underhanded tactics from Maribel certainly played a significant role in the outcome. JRO: Mariana had a fantastic rally. She almost had the victory within reach, but Maribel's distraction with Pinky on the outside allowed Fuyuko to catch her off guard with a surprise roll-up pin. Garcia: It was a heartbreaking moment for Las Amazonas. They left everything in the ring tonight, and despite the loss, they proved why they are a force to be reckoned with. I'm sure they will come back stronger than ever. JRO: Well said, Alfonso. The night is far from over, and there's still more action to come. Let's see what Capital Clash has in store for us next! The backstage area is adorned with dim lighting, reflecting the unsettling atmosphere surrounding the Fallen Angel group. Dharma Gregg stands ready with a microphone as Suzanne Brazzle, Debbie Rose, and Kate Lilly gather for the interview... Dharma: QAW faithful, I’m here with members of the Fallen Angels: Suzanne Brazzle, Debbie Rose, and Kate Lilly. Tonight, you'll be facing off against The Line, a group that has been fighting for recognition recently. Last week, you ambushed them after a match. Care to shed some light on that? [Suzanne Brazzle's saccharine smile widens, her eyes gleaming with a mix of superiority and disdain] Brazzle: Ah, dear Dharma, it’s such a pity that The Line has managed to garner any attention at all. They represent everything that is wrong with QAW. They are the embodiment of mediocrity, clinging desperately to false hopes of justice. It is our duty, as the enlightened ones, to show them the error of their ways. Rose: What have they truly accomplished? Nothing but a series of lackluster performances that barely register on the radar. QAW and women's wrestling deserve better, and that's precisely what we, the Fallen Angels, are ushering in – a new era of excellence. Dharma: With all due respect, Tex-Mex are two-time QAW World Tag Team champions. Those are the belts you currently hold, only once. The Line have proven themselves time and time again in front of the fans and are arguably QAW standard-bearers. [The Fallen Angels scoff in disbelief] Lilly: We are the standard-bearers now. Our championship reigns are going to erase everything that came before. Sometimes burning something to the ground is the kindest thing to do to allow new growth. We are those torchbearers. Brazzle: By facing The Line tonight, we are offering them the kindness of a swift defeat. They will learn their limitations and come to understand that they belong where Commissioner Bomb puts them. If they don't like that? Well, they know what to do. [Suzanne Brazzle and her disciples share a knowing look, their confidence radiating] Dharma: Well, there you have it, folks, the unsettling perspective of the Fallen Angel. Before we conclude, I have one more question for you, Debbie and Kate. The Uprising, a well-established team from your past, and The Experience, your long-standing rivals, are both vying for the number one contender spot. How do you view the competition from these teams? Rose: Ah, The Uprising. Those were the days, Dharma. Kate and I have a long history with The Uprising, and we've certainly had our fair share of battles in the past. They were worthy opponents then, and if they earn the right to challenge us once again, we'll gladly step into the ring with them. Lilly: But when it comes to facing The Experience, we have no fear. We relish the opportunity to expose their weaknesses and show the world that they're simply relics of a bygone era. [Dharma Gregg nods, acknowledging the confidence and dismissive attitude that Debbie Rose and Kate Lilly hold towards The Experience] Dharma: We'll be eagerly watching to see how the number one contender match unfolds! Thank you both for your candid thoughts. Back to you-- [Suzanne Brazzle, who has been silently observing the interview, interrupts with a smile] Brazzle: Oh, Dharma, dear, before we wrap this up, while we appreciate the opportunity to share our perspective, I must say, I didn't quite appreciate your line of questioning and your tone when speaking to us. [Dharma's expression turns slightly uneasy as Suzanne's sweet demeanor takes a subtly menacing turn] Dharma: I-I apologise if my questions were not to your liking, Suzanne. It was never my intention to offend. Brazzle: (smirking) Oh, my dear, apologies won't be enough. But perhaps you'll learn from this experience and remember your place when addressing the Fallen Angels. [With a final, icy stare, Suzanne turns and leads Debbie Rose and Kate Lilly away, leaving Dharma Gregg stunned and unsettled] [27] Trios Match /with Fallen Angels [Suzanne, Debbie & Kate] w/ Steph Blake vs. The Line [Ash, Teresa & Houston] The trios match between the confident Fallen Angels and the determined underdogs, The Line, ignited the arena with anticipation. The Line showcased their tenacity and resilience from the start. Ash executed lightning-quick dropkicks and precision-based aerial assaults, keeping the Fallen Angels off balance. Teresa wowed the crowd with innovative counters, utilising her technical prowess to gain the upper hand. Meanwhile, Houston's aggressive brawling style came to the forefront as she pummelled her opponents with punishing strikes and impactful power moves. The Fallen Angels met The Line's intensity with calculated aggression and deceit. Debbie would seize opportunities to use the ropes for chokes or deliver sly eye rakes. At the same time, she demonstrated excellent high-speed offence that sent her opponents reeling. Kate, equally skilled in her aerial arsenal, would strike with lightning-fast missile dropkicks and double stomps, with pinpoint accuracy. And finally, Brazzle showcased technical and ring intelligence, using suplexes and body slams to wear down her faster foes. The frantic pace of the match created an atmosphere of desperation, leading to occasional mistakes from The Line. The pressure to prove themselves and the relentless assault from the Fallen Angels caused moments of miscommunication and slight hesitations. These errors allowed the Fallen Angels to exploit openings, taking advantage of the slightest misstep from their opponents. One such moment occurred when Steph Blake distracted the official, and Lilly & Rose scored "The Thorn" [Double impaler DDT] on Ash Grover, allowing Suzanne to gracefully pin Ash to the mat. Winners: Fallen Angels via pin 10:15 [44] Decent reaction, sub-par wrestling [surprising!] Houston was head and shoulders above everyone else [booked as a 'wild brawl' though, so maybe that's why] Garcia: I can't believe what we just witnessed, Joanna! JRO: That's right, Alfonso! The Fallen Angels proved once again why they are a dominant force in the ring. Garcia: Oh, please! Let's call it what it really is—cheating! The Line fought with heart and determination, but the Fallen Angels resorted to distractions and dirty tricks to secure the win. JRO: Well, Alfonso, that's just smart wrestling. The Fallen Angels understand that victory is what matters most, and they did what they had to do to get the job done. Garcia: Smart wrestling? No, Joanna, it's unsportswomanlike conduct! The Line deserved a fair chance, and the Fallen Angels took that away from them. JRO: Well, Alfonso, that's just how the cookie crumbles sometimes. The Fallen Angels outsmarted their opponents and came out on top. That's the mark of true champions. We move to the dimly lit lounge of The Clenched Fist. Inside, Hellcat Hernandez enjoys a drink, while Felicia, her timid associate, lingers nervously beside her. The Experience approach Hellcat, their faces showing a mix of concern and determination... Ava: Hellcat, we need to talk. We've been hearing some troubling rumours. Hellcat: (takes a swig from her glass) What's the word on the street? Ava: The Uprising supposedly hired you to betray us in the tag tournament finals. Is there any truth to this? [Hellcat finishes her drink with a sharp tone] Hellcat: You want answers? Yes, The Uprising did come knocking, waving their money around. But don't you worry, I haven't forgotten where I came from or who I've fought alongside. Lily: What would make them even think it was a possibility! Those ex-AAA girls are full of it! Hellcat: Loyalty is a rare commodity in this business. You either have it or you don't. The Clenched Fist means something to me, and so do you two. We've built a reputation, and no amount of money can buy that. [Ava and Lily exchange glances, a flicker of doubt still lingering] Ava: Hellcat, forgive us for questioning your motives. It's just that this rumour has shaken us. We've got a lot riding on this. If we lose tonight, not only do we go to the back of the line to regain the QAW World Tag Team championships, but we also lose Brayfield as our manager. He's done a lot for us. Hellcat: He also takes a cut of your winnings. Maybe after you win tonight, it's time we revise our relationship with old Brayfield... [Hellcat pauses when she notices The Experience's bemused expressions and quickly adjusts her demeanour] Hellcat: (nodding sternly) But, I understand your concerns. The Uprising may have their plans, but we have our own tricks up our sleeves. You'll come out on top. Felicia: (nervously) Hellcat has always been there for us. She's got our backs. Hellcat: (casting a hardened gaze at Felicia) And don't you forget it. Now, get your heads in the game and focus on the finals. We've got a reputation to uphold. [Ava and Lily exchange determined looks, the doubt fading as Hellcat's words resonate] Ava: We won't let anyone take us down! But, Hellcat, we want to do this on our own tonight. We'll show The Uprising and The Fallen Angels what we're made of. [Hellcat smirks, her eyes reflecting a mixture of cunning and satisfaction] Hellcat: That's the spirit. [34] This segment got the crowd hotter We cut to the backstage interview area, Dharma Gregg is dutifully standing by with Christy Higgins... Dharma: I'm here with the QAW Shockwave Champion, Christy Higgins, a member of the Fallen Angels. Christy, you have a big match coming up against Pamela Rojo. What are your thoughts going into this matchup? Higgins: Well, Dharma, let me set the record straight. Pamela Rojo may be riding a wave of momentum right now, but I'm here to crash that party. I didn't just volunteer for this opportunity; I demanded it. You see, Pamela's success threatens everything the Fallen Angels stand for, and I won't let that happen. Dharma: It sounds like you're very focused on derailing Pamela's momentum. How do you plan on doing that? Higgins: Oh, Dharma, I can't help but feel you're painting me as the underdog here. But let me make one thing clear—I am the QAW Shockwave Champion for a reason. I am a force to be reckoned with. [Dharma becomes flustered, realising her misstep] Higgins: Now, to answer your question, I have studied Pamela's every move, every weakness. I know her game inside out, and I plan on exploiting every opportunity that presents itself. This match is not just about me and Pamela; it's about sending a message to the entire QAW roster that the Fallen Angels will not be overlooked or underestimated. [Dharma notices Little Miss Perfect approaching the scene, hoping to speak with Christy] Dharma: Christy, it looks like Little Miss Perfect wants to have a word with you. Do you have time? Higgins: (irritated) Can't you see I'm in the middle of an interview, Sarah? Don't you dare try to ruin my concentration before such an important match. I suggest you scurry along and find someone else to pester. [Little Miss Perfect recoils, taken aback by Christy's outburst, and quickly retreats from the scene] Dharma: Well, there you have it. Christy Higgins is not to be disturbed. Thank you for your time, Christy, and best of luck in your match against Pamela Rojo. [30] Singles Match /with Christy Higgins vs. "Red Alert" Pamela Rojo w/ Miss Mexico The match kicked off with Pamela showcasing her size advantage by cutting through Christy’s attempts to create distance. And muscled her to the mat targeting Christy’s limbs with kicks and joint locks. Christy, relying on her speed, would not stay down for long and used quick reversals to frustrate her opponent. As the match progressed, Christy resorted to underhanded tactics. She used the ropes to her advantage, choking Pamela and using the referee's distraction to land cheap shots. The crowd jeered at Christy's antics, while Miss Mexico shouted words of encouragement to Pamela from ringside. Despite Christy's attempts to rile her up, Pamela remained focused and composed. Pamela executed a textbook German suplex, hoisting Christy overhead and slamming her to the canvas, showcasing her raw power. The match reached its climax as Christy, growing increasingly desperate, attempted to use her QAW Shockwave Championship belt as a weapon. However, before she could strike, Miss Mexico swiftly intervened, snatching the belt away and preventing Christy from executing her underhanded plan. Seizing the moment, Pamela delivered her signature "Big Red" Powerslam. The impact reverberated throughout the arena as the crowd erupted in cheers. Pamela quickly capitalised, hooking Christy's leg for the pinfall. Post-match, Pamela and Miss Mexico celebrated their hard-earned victory in the center of the ring. Meanwhile, Christy Higgins slinked away, seething with frustration. Winner: Pamela via pin 13:16 [53] Decent match The match got the crowd hotter JRO: Ugh, I can't believe it, Alfonso! Christy had this match in the bag, but that meddling Miss Mexico ruined everything! Garcia: Oh, come on, Joanna! Christy resorted to underhanded tactics throughout the match. She got exactly what she deserved. JRO: Deserved? Alfonso, you're just blind to the brilliance of Christy's cunning. She had the QAW Shockwave Championship belt ready to deliver a decisive blow! Well, I hope Pamela and Miss Mexico enjoy their momentary triumph. Because they will be buried soon! The Fallen Angels will make sure of it. As Pamela Rojo celebrated her hard-fought victory in the ring, the arena buzzed with anticipation. Suddenly, the eerie music of Suzanne Brazzle pierced the air. Pamela Rojo stood defiantly in the ring, her eyes fixed on Suzanne Brazzle, who entered with an air of self-righteousness... Brazzle: My dear, have you not learned from our past? I did what was necessary to guide you, to shape you into the wrestler you are today. Your pain was merely a means to a bigger purpose than you, a noble sacrifice, if you ask me... [Pamela's expression hardened, her voice filled with a mix of anger and betrayal] Rojo: You conveniently forget the lies and manipulation. You made me believe we were friends, that you genuinely cared about my success. I invited you into my home. We rode to shows together. I poured my heart out to you, and that's because you asked! The entire time, you were just using me as a pawn in your sick game. Did you go home afterward and laugh about me with Christy and the others? [Suzanne's eyes narrowed, a smug smirk on her face] Brazzle: Friendship is a trivial concept in this industry. I saw potential in you, and I used that to my advantage. It’s not as though you didn’t benefit either. I have not forgotten those long conversations we had; your contempt for the fans not loving you as much as they did Alina or Danielle. Your contempt for your fellow competitors. And most of all, your contempt for QAW itself, not appreciating your potential; you agreed with me that QAW needed a change. And let’s not forget you were set for a pretty miserable year, and with my help, you didn’t! You got a rub from this! Why can’t you just accept your place? [As Pamela listened to Suzanne's twisted justification, her anger burned even hotter] Rojo: Accept my place? You’re insane. Yes, I was angry at the world, and maybe I still am. I have made my fair share of mistakes because I’m not perfect. And neither are you. So, who the hell are you to decide my value? [Suzanne smiles sweetly] Brazzle: Who am I? I am the miracle that QAW needed, of course. Most importantly, I am your QAW World Champion. Rojo: You may hold that title, but it doesn't make you a miracle. It just means you're the biggest, most manipulative bitch in the business. I've played your games with Paige, Perfect, and Higgins. I want my shot. [Suzanne's smile wavered, replaced by a flicker of anger] Brazzle: No. Not yet. And that's precisely why I'm here; Commissioner Bomb has agreed that you have one more opponent to face at World Summit. A mystery opponent. If you can beat her, then there will be no denying you, Pamela... [Brazzle tosses a match contract at Pamela] Rojo: I may not have the title right now, but I have something far more valuable: the respect and support of the QAW faithful. They see through your facade, Suzanne, and they're ready for a real champion. So, what's one more match? I'll face anyone you put in front of me because I'm not just fighting for the title. I'm fighting to expose your true nature and take back what you've stolen from me. [Pamela exits the ring with Miss Mexico, leaving Suzanne behind with a disturbed expression] [55] Brazzle was superb and had the crowd in her hand Rojo did a masterful job interacting with the crowd A unusually strong promo score...! As Little Miss Perfect wandered through the backstage area, a sense of loneliness weighed heavily on her. She watched as others mingled and enjoyed the company of friends, longing for that sense of camaraderie... Blanca: Look at Little Miss Perfect over there. She seems really down and lonely. I know she has caused some trouble in the past, but maybe it's time to put that aside and check in on her. What do you say? [Modesty and Cat exchanged uncertain glances, their past encounters with Little Miss Perfect still fresh in their minds] Modesty: I don’t know... Darkness: She really sucks... Blanca: Come on! We are better than this. Let’s go. [Blanca grabs Darkness and Modesty by the arms. As they reached out to her, Little Miss Perfect looked up, surprised by their presence. Her face lit up with a mixture of hope and confusion but couldn't help but react in her typical manner] Perfect: Well, well, well, if it isn't Modesty Pador and Darkness Cat. What brings you two over here? Did you come to bask in the glory of my presence? [Modesty and Cat exchanged amused glances, expecting nothing less from Little Miss Perfect. They decided to play along, maintaining a light-hearted tone] Modesty: Oh, Little Miss Perfect, how could we resist the chance to revel in your glorious company? Perfect: It's about time! But really, why are you here? Don't you have more important things to do? Darkness: You know, we've had our differences, but right now, we're genuinely concerned about you. We can see that something is bothering you, and we want to help. [LMP’s guard started to come down as she sensed the sincerity in Darkness's voice] Perfect: Well, I suppose I have been feeling a bit lonely lately. What did I do to Christy? She used to be my best friend, and now she's acting so distant. Did she truly steal the championship from me? [Blanca, Modesty, and Darkness respond with a “YES!” in unison] Darkness: We can't speak for Christy, but what we can tell you is that you deserve to be treated with respect and fairness. If someone you considered a friend is mistreating you, it's important to stand up for yourself. Modesty: That's right. Don't let anyone undermine your worth or make you feel insignificant. You deserve friendships that are built on trust, support, and genuine care. [LMP looked at Modesty and Cat, with a newfound realisation] Perfect: I just want my best friend back... Everyone else here is no fun and kinda weird... Darkness: Listen to me, Little Miss Perfect. Christy Higgins is not your friend. The Fallen Angels are not your friends. Did you not just watch Pamela and Suzanne in the ring? You got used and tossed aside. They took your championship from you, and you didn't do a thing about it... But it's not too late to make a change. It's time to get a grip, Little Miss Perfect. It's time to grow up. [Perfect flinches at the tough love and goes to speak as the trio turns away, but instead thinks twice and is left with her thoughts] [35] Trios Match /with The Furies [Emma, Honey & Marie] vs. Ronin3 [Foxxy, Tameka & Toni] w/ Vinny Cruz In a high-stakes trios match between Ronin3 and The Furies, the audience witnessed a clash of aggressive styles in what was quickly turning into a heated rivalry between Foxxy and Emma. The match kicked off with a showdown between Tameka and Honey, two powerhouses ready to assert their dominance. Tameka's imposing stature allowed her to effortlessly overpower Honey, driving her into the corner. Unleashing a series of savage slaps, Tameka left Honey gasping for air. Emma seized the opportunity and tagged herself in, eager to take on the imposing Sky. She swiftly evaded Tameka's clothesline attempt and sprang into a dazzling flying armbar, popping the crowd. But Tameka, utilising her strength, powered out of the hold, slamming Emma down with authority. Sensing weakness, Foxxy tagged in, wasting no time in unleashing on Emma. Every inch of Emma's body became a target for Foxxy's stomping onslaught. However, Emma, determined to fight back, regained her composure and retaliated with a stiff right hand that elicited an 'Oooh!' from the crowd. Unfazed, Foxxy answered with a graceful spinning heel kick that sent Emma crashing to the canvas. As the match unfolded, each competitor had their moment to shine. Commentary noted Emma's newfound leadership skills as she coached and encouraged her teammates. The intensity grew, and Foxxy and May grappled aggressively with each other, with Emma determined to lock in a submission. It was during this sequence that Foxxy grimaced in pain, clutching her elbow. The referee quickly intervened, recognising the seriousness of the situation. Under the protection of the referee, Foxxy made the decision to tag out, seeking assistance outside the ring. With Foxxy out of action, Tameka Sky stepped up her game, unleashing an unstoppable display of power and dominance. She executed a thunderous spinebuster on Marie, followed by a bone-crushing sidewalk slam on Honey. The Furies struggled to regain control as Tameka asserted her dominance. As the match neared its climax, Emma desperately reached out for a hot tag to her partner, Honey. To the shock of the audience, Honey and Marie betrayed their own teammate, leaving Emma alone in the ring, abandoned and vulnerable. Seizing the opportunity amidst the chaos, Tameka scooped up Emma and delivered a devastating "Sky High" chokeslam, shaking the ring on impact. Emma lay motionless on the canvas as Tameka stood triumphant. With Emma's fate sealed, Foxxy Larue reentered the ring and covered Emma, hooking the leg tightly as the referee dropped for the count. One... two... three! The bell rang, signaling the end of the match. Ronin3 briefly stood over the fallen Emma May, asserting their dominance, but Foxxy's grimace of agony hinted at the toll the match had taken. As she exited the ring, medical staff attended to her. Winners: Ronin3 via pin 11:49 [47] Decent match Emma's performance stood out Foxxy came out the match looking good Foxxy suffered a fractured elbow [Not good at all...!] Emma's tecnico turn failed hard Garcia: The aggression between Foxxy and Emma was palpable, and it ended with a devastating injury. JRO: This isn't ballet, as they say. It's a reminder of the physical toll these athletes endure. Garcia: It was a ruthless move by Honey and Marie to betray Emma like that. They left her defenceless...! JRO: Emma showed great leadership skills and fought her heart out. It's a shame that her efforts were ultimately in vain. The fallout from this match will surely have repercussions for the team dynamics within The Furies. Trust has been shattered, and it'll be interesting to see how they move forward. We cut to the backstage interview area where Dharma is standing by with The Uprising... Dharma: QAW faithful, I'm here with one of the most decorated tag teams in the industry today, Talia Quinzel and Selina Svelte, better known as The Uprising. They have made it to the finals of the tag team number one contenders tournament, where they'll be facing The Experience for the first time ever, in what many would call a dream match too! How are you feeling about this match? Talia: Dharma, we're not here to play nice or follow QAW's script. We march to the beat of our own drum, and we're about to make The Experience face the music. Selina: The Experience may have their accolades and their polished image, but we've been breaking barriers and smashing through glass ceilings, long before they came along. We're two-time AAA World Tag Team champions, we've won the 5SSW Tag Grand Prix, and we're the reigning 5SSW World Tag Team champions. Talia: For the second time, baby! [Talia and Selina fist bump] Selina: That should tell you everything you need to know about us. We're a big deal. And if The Experience think they're close to that status, they're in for a rude awakening when they step into the ring with The Uprising because we always have an ace up our sleeves. Dharma: An ace up your sleeves? Can you give us a hint about what that might be? Selina: We're not going to give that away before our match, are we? [Dharma nods in agreement but decides to change tact] Dharma: Well, you have some interesting alliances backstage. You have an obvious connection to The Fallen Angels stable due to your history in AAA, and Commissioner Bomb seemed to set the tournament up in your favour. I mean, you were originally given a bye into the semis, and when that was challenged, your first-round opponents missed the match... [Selina and Talia look at each other and back at Dharma, nonplussed] Selina: I'm not seeing the connection... Dharma: Also, you employed the services of Clenched Fist in your semi-final match... The Experience are members of that faction, but Hellcat doesn't exactly live by a code of honor... There could be a number of aces! Talia: Or maybe the ace up our sleeves is that we're that damn good. [Dharma is interrupted before she can respond] Selina: Okay, Nancy Drew, we've heard enough from you tonight. [35] Bossman Brayfield Garcia: We're joined at the booth now by Bossman Brayfield, which can mean only one thing! The Experience are in action next! Brayfield: That's right, boy. Mah clients have fought their way to the finals of this circus tournament Commissioner Bomb put on, and they will win their QAW World Tag Team championships back from Lilly & Rose. JRO: Let's not forget, if The Experience lose this match then you will no longer be able to manage them. How did you prepare your clients for your last match together? Brayfield: Very funny, ma'am. Ah prepared 'em like Ah do for every match. We study. We train. And then we go win. These Uprising ladies may be the 5SSW champions but that don't mean diddly 'cause they are on QAW turf... And nobody heard of 'em in these parts. This is The Experience land. JRO: Well, sounds like you haven't done your preparation Brayfield, because if you were "studying" you would know that the Uprising are no joke. Brayfield: You're tellin' me the women who have stapled half their face together ain't a joke? Ya coulda fooled me. Garcia: Let's focus on the action-a-go-go! Tag Team Number One Contenders Tournament -- Finals /with The Uprising [Talia & Selina] vs. The Experience [Ava & Lily] w/ Bossman Brayfield The atmosphere is tense as The Uprising make their way to the ring. They exude confidence and a rebellious attitude, ready to dominate their opponents. Across the ring, The Experience is poised and calculating, knowing they face a formidable challenge. The referee signals for the bell, and the match is underway. Talia starts for The Uprising, while Ava steps into the ring for The Experience. Talia and Ava circle each other, sizing up their opponent. They engage in a grappling exchange, showcasing their technical skills. Talia's power becomes evident as she overpowers Ava with a series of impactful suplexes and slams, asserting her dominance. Ava manages to create separation, quickly tagging in Lily, who enters the ring with determination, countering Talia's power with her agility and speed. Selina eagerly calls for a tag, which Talia obliges. The match intensifies as Selina and Lily engage in a slick display of technical wrestling and counter holds. Selina's submissions are executed flawlessly, applying excruciating pressure on Lily's limbs. The Experience, known for their tag team chemistry, regains control as Ava re-enters the ring. They demonstrate seamless teamwork; at one point, Ava holds Selina in a full nelson, leaving her vulnerable to Lily's soaring knee strike to the face. Despite being on wobbly feet, Selina fights back and manages to create an opening to tag Talia, who is ready to overpower The Experience again. Talia comes in like a wrecking ball with hard shoulder tackles and snaps Ava into a thunderous scoop powerslam. Talia unleashes a barrage of hard-hitting blows on Ava's back and hits a few of her trademark backbreakers before Ava counters with a neck-crunching DDT. Both women tag out, and the match becomes a back-and-forth battle, with both teams showcasing their experience and chemistry. Just as it seems The Experience is gaining the upper hand, a mysterious woman interferes, tripping up Lily as she attempts to run the ropes. The referee is momentarily distracted, allowing Talia to capitalise; she pulls Lily by the hair into an Argentine Backbreaker and after a few excruciating moments dumps Lily over into a Facebuster. The crowd erupts in shock and confusion as the referee finally turns her attention back to the action, witnessing the cover. In that same moment, Selina pulls Ava from the apron as Talia hooks the leg and seals the victory. The Uprising celebrates their victory, albeit with an air of controversy surrounding their win. Bossman Brayfield is crestfallen on commentary and assists a frustrated-looking Lily and Ava to the backstage area. Winners: The Uprising via pin 11:49 [49] Good wrestling, decent reaction Tag Team Match "The Face of QAW" Alina America & "The Queen of Hearts" Danielle Sweetheart vs. "The Queen of Professional Wrestling" Ashley Keith & Hellcat Hernandez In a highly anticipated tag team match fueled by intense grudges, Alina America and Danielle Sweetheart found themselves standing across the ring from Hellcat Hernandez and Ashley Keith. With the mix of personal vendettas at play, the atmosphere was buzzing as the bell rang to kick off the match. Hellcat called attention to her recently surgically repaired jaw and traded insults with Alina, bringing them almost nose to nose in the center of the ring. Things broke down quickly, and the two exchanged stinging chops much to the crowd's delight. On one such attempt, Alina sidestepped the strike and showcased her agility, launching herself off the ropes with a picture-perfect dropkick that knocked Hellcat on her ass. The crowd popped as Alina delivered precise kicks to Hellcat's chest. But Hellcat, the brawler, responded by grabbing an incoming kick, which knocked Alina off balance. Hellcat roared back to her feet and charged at Alina with a clothesline, nearly taking her head off. With a menacing grin, Hellcat pulled Alina up by the hair and delivered a series of forearms to the side of her head, finished with a stiff headbutt that sent Alina reeling. Seizing the moment, Hellcat powered Alina into the corner and kept the brawling going, but Alina fought back and found an opening for a second-rope hurricanrana, flipping Hellcat across the ring. Alina wasted no time and tagged in Danielle, who entered the ring with a burst of energy and took Hellcat down with a crisp snap suplex, followed by a swift elbow drop. Hellcat fought back with sheer aggression, countering Danielle's offense with hard-hitting punches and kicks. As the action unfolded, the tension between Danielle and Ashley, who had their own bitter rivalry, simmered beneath the surface. Ashley, itching to get her hands on Danielle, taunted her from the apron, provoking a reaction in the form of Danielle tossing Hellcat towards her corner to tag out. The crowd erupted as Danielle and Ashley locked eyes. The animosity between them was evident as they traded fierce strikes and aggressive grappling. Danielle applied a textbook hammerlock, torquing Ashley's arm and forcing her to the mat. Ashley relied on her athleticism, using a slick bridging escape to break free from Danielle's clutches. Undeterred, Danielle maintained her focus. With a seamless transition, Danielle executed a lightning-fast arm drag, using Ashley's momentum against her and sending her crashing to the mat. The crowd cheered on as Danielle targeted Ashley's midsection, landing powerful kicks and knee strikes that winded her. Ashley tried to fight back with brute force, attempting to overpower Danielle with clubbing blows and slams, but Danielle appeared wise to Ashley's game now, allowing her to evade Ashley's attacks. She utilized her ring awareness to dodge, duck, and weave, frustrating her opponent. The match wore on in this fashion, with Alina and Danielle working very well together and understanding their opponents' game plans before they did. As the match reached its climax, Alina and Ashley faced off. Alina's agility and Ashley's power created an engaging back-and-forth dynamic that captivated the audience. Ashley, desperate to assert her dominance, seized a steel chair from ringside, intending to hit Alina. Sensing the danger, Danielle selflessly stepped in the way of the shot, sacrificing herself to protect her partner. The dull thud of steel meeting bone reverberated through the arena, causing an immediate flow of blood. The referee swiftly called for the disqualification, abruptly ending the match. Medical personnel rushed to attend to Danielle's injury, while Alina and the crowd looked on in shock and dismay. Meanwhile, Ashley and Hellcat looked quite pleased with themselves, laughing with each other as they exited the stage. Winners: Alina & Danielle via DQ 18:07 [62] Good wrestling, decent reaction Garcia: QAW faithful, we have just witnessed a shocking turn of events! Medical personnel are attending to Danielle as we speak. JRO: A questionable move by Ashley Keith! She cost her team the match, but I suppose she scored some points in terms of this feud. Garcia: This rivalry has reached new heights of animosity, and it seems like there's no end in sight. Well, folks, that's all the time we have for tonight. Thank you for joining us on this thrilling evening of QAW action, despite the unfortunate turn of events. We'll continue to update you on Danielle's condition, as well as Foxxy Larue! Goodnight, everyone. Show Rating: 58
