Episode 23: Declaration of War
(COLD OPEN - The camera opens to the interior of the UCCU Center in Orem, UT. It’s a sold-out crowd whose eyes are on LAW ring announcer London Morris who’s standing in the center of the ring.)
London Morris: Everyone please welcome your new Lethal Angel Champion, Kayla Winters!
(Money by Pink Floyd blasts in the arena as the new LAW World Champion steps on the stage, her arrogance flowing from her as she takes in the boos from the Orem crowd. She makes her way to the ring and climbs the ropes from the outside and smirks as she raises the title before stepping down and motioning for a mic.)
Kayla Winters: When I put my name on my LAW contract I told everyone I was going to take over and it looks like I did just that. I had a dominant title reign with the Lethal Tag Titles as part of Sweet Winters and parlayed that to the world title that rests on my shoulder.
Kayla walks back and forth around the ring.
Kayla Winters: Now, normally your world champion would tell you that someday you could be just like them.
(Kayla smirks)
Kayla Winters: But not me. Let's face it - none of you could ever be like me! Some goals are just unobtainable because I am better than you! I’m richer, more educated, and the best wrestler in this company! I think you get the picture I‘m trying to paint here.
(Kayla leans against the ropes.)
Kayla Winters: Roxy, it was nothing personal at Homecoming, and if you have a grievance we can settle it at our little family meeting later. But for now, I stand here your not so humble LAW champion. Takeover complete.
(Kayla tosses the mic and takes in the hatred on the crowd as she exits.)
Kat Ricci: Our new Lethal Angel Champion ladies and gentlemen...Kayla Winters.
Melissa Flash: She was straight to the point. After an intense Fatal 4-Way match, Kayla Winters took advantage of her own teammate to dethrone former champ Roni de Vil.
Kat Ricci: I wonder how Roni is feeling right now. I heard she declined to be interviewed backstage.
Melissa Flash: We’ll get to see how she’s holding up tonight when she’s standing in Jessica Rose’s corner in tonight’s main event with Sweet Roxy!
Kat Ricci: I wonder if Kayla’s going to be in Roxy’s corner.
Melissa Flash: We’ll find out soon enough. But first, a message from Carla Luna!
(The camera opens to a previously recorded video of fiery redhead Carla Luna standing in the backstage hallway)
Carla Luna: As I said, I'd beat Olga Petrov at LAW: Homecoming and I just did that! Marking my debut with a victory is a great thing. I mean, that's what everyone wants right? I'm grateful that I got what I wanted.
(Carla smiles and loosens her shoulders)
Carla Luna: But moving on, as the old saying goes "every day is a new opportunity." I have my chance to beat Ruby Ariel just like she has her chance to beat me. It's 50/50. A tricky situation for both of us. After all, this what makes wrestling interesting isn't it? No beef no blood between the two of us, just a match between two athletes that want to prove who's the better one. Ruby isn't the most likable pro wrestler but she isn't the most hated one either. Ruby isn't an asshole like Olga is but to some extent a few people still hate her. I don't know why. But what makes her has some fans in her hands are because 1. she has charisma and 2. she is a great wrestler. She can get sassy but she backs it up with her wrestling skills. Some people are able to forget her personality because of what she does in the ring. Ruby is truthfully a natural athlete and that's why I know I won't beat her easily. She'll bring the fight to me but I know I'm able to fight back and hit her with a punch to the face and ruins her make-up in the process. Hey, she'll do that to me too don't get me wrong, but I'll make sure she won't get the upper hand on me at any cost. I can't take her lightly. If I do that she'll beat me in seconds, that's why I'm taking this match seriously. She should do it as well, otherwise, The Hit Girl will hit her not only in her face but also her head as well to make her think straight and bring her best shot to me.
(Carla cracks her knuckles)
Carla Luna: Do what you want to do though, Ruby, whatever tricks you have under your sleeves, I'm game. I have to be ready for everything and so should you.
(The camera fades as Carla walks away)
The bell rings and right out the gate, Carl starts firing off knife-edge chops when Ruby attempts to close in. She follows-up with a Pumphandle Suplex and tries for an armbar but Ruby fights her off. Ruby crawls backward to the ropes, but Luna pulls her away, slamming her back onto the mat. Before Auriel could react, she whips her to the corner and starts unleashing a series of mudhole stomps. She pulls Ruby up by the hair and walks over to another corner and tries to slam her head against the turnbuckle but Ruby blocks the attempt and fights Carla off. Luna delivers a gut kick and hits a Fisherman's Neckbreaker. She waits for Ruby to get to her feet before delivering a springboard push kick. Ruby bounces off the turnbuckle and gets caught in a bridging German Suplex. She kicks out two, much to Carla’s frustration. As Carla plays for the crowd, Ruby rolls out of the ring to gather her bearings.
Melissa Flash: Luna’s been on fire since this match started! Ruby can’t even lay a finger on her!
Kat Ricci: Luna hits the ropes and lands the baseball slide! Ruby goes tumbling down as Carla pursues her!
Carla slides out ringside and rolls her opponent back into the ring. She attempts a signature Exploder Suplex, but Ruby blocks it and counters with a Reverse STO! She applies a Lotus Lock submission, locking down Carla’s legs while applying pressure onto the neck. The ref asks Luna several times if she wants to escape and on the third time, Carla manages to escape the hold. Weakened from the strain to her body, Carla rolls over by the ropes. Ruby hits the ropes and charges with a running big boot, but Carla pulls back on the ropes, causing her to the outside of the ring. Carla slides out and starts brawling back and forth with Ruby on the outside. The First Lady of Florida gets the upper hand and throws Carla back into the ring. She follows suit and goes for a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors! Carla reverses it into a Leg Hook sit-out suplex slam! With her opponent stunned on the mat, Carla applies the seated Fujiwara armbar for the submission victory!
Melissa Flash: Impressive victory by Carla Luna! She’s currently 2-0 here on Thursday Night LAW and - what’s this?
(Olga Petrov walks out from backstage with her arms folded and with a menacing glare. She claps her hands slowly in a mocking way as Carla looks on with a look of defiance.)
Kat Ricci: Looks like Olga wants Luna to know that she still has her attention.
Melissa Flash: I’m sure after losing to her at Homecoming, there’s unfinished business between these two.
(Carla watches Olga walks to the back before she continues her celebration)
(The camera opens to Rina and Yuki Sakaraba spending time together backstage when Serenity Scorpio and Jocelyn Sky - Dynamic Duo walk up to them with their arms folded. The Sisters look a little apprehensive, but soon relax their guard)
Rina Sakaraba: May we help you?
Serenity Scorpio: Don’t worry we’re not up to anything sneaky. We just wanted to ask you guys if you’re satisfied with the way you retained those tag titles back at Homecoming?
(Rina and Yuki look at each other for a moment. Yuki decides to answer for the duo.)
Yuki Sakaraba: Not really, but a victory is a victory.
Jocelyn Sky: Even if that “victory” means you continue on without finding out who’s the better team?
(Rina and Yuki look at each other once more.)
Rina Sakaraba: What are you proposing, a rematch?
Serenity Scorpio: No count outs - or any sort of disqualification. There has to be a winner.
Yuki Sakaraba: You want a rematch? Fine. We’ll grant you your wish. But after we beat you - again - no more chances!
“Ahem”
(Both teams turn around to see Jessica Hendrix and “Big Sexy” Santana standing several feet away with their arms crossed.)
Jessica Hendrix: Aren’t you forgetting something? Santana and I are the winners of the Sadie Hawkins Battle Royal. So, therefore, we have a right to challenge the current champs at a future event.
Santana: Something we plan on doing at the next show.
(The Sakaraba Sisters and The Dynamic Duo look at each other for a moment.)
Rina Sakaraba: My sister and I won these belts in a multi-team match. We’ll be more than happy to successfully defend them in one as well.
Yuki Sakaraba: Triple Threat Match, no DQ.
Serenity Scorpio: Three teams enter, one team leaves? Aight, bet. Laters!
(Dynamic Duo take their exit and several moments later, Hendrix and Santana leave in the opposite direction leaving the Sakaraba Sisters by themselves.)
Rina Sakaraba: Yuki...are we making the right decision?
Yuki Sakaraba: We’re champions, Rina. This is the life we chose.
(Rina slowly nods as the sisters walk off-screen with their belts.)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK: The Battle of the Summer! Matsuda vs Jaxon 2 for the OWA World Championship! OWA presents Boiling Point! Sunday, July 28th, ONLY on the OWA Network!)
(The camera opens to Madam Vega sitting in her office as she addresses the crowd. Her desk is filled with various forms and paperwork stacked over a Macbook.)
Madam Vega: As much as I would like to be out there with you, the loyal audience, I’m kind of busy backstage as you can see. But, this won’t stop me from making an official announcement. On August 24th LAW, JET, and OWA’s Odyssey brand will be coming together for the Supershow of the Summer, organized by the IJWF - “Trifecta”. More details will be revealed as we draw closer to the date of the show, but from here on out we are on The Road to Trifecta!
(The camera changes to the arena where the fans are on their feet, cheering at the LAWtron which displayed Vega’s message.)
Melissa Flash: Here we go again, Kat! The IJWF’s newest member - Odyssey will be joining JET and LAW in putting on the hottest event of the summer both literally and figuratively!
Kat Ricci: I knew something had to be up when we saw Odyssey General Manager Viola DeMarco and JET co-owner Stephanie Matsuda backstage at Homecoming! Now we know what’s going on! Let me tell you something Melissa, that’s an event I can’t wait for!
Melissa Flash: Same! Let’s move on to our next match of the evening!
(Whatever the announcer was about to say next is abruptly forgotten as the boos suddenly explodes into cheers as both Kiki and Cassidy bounce off of the far ropes and then hit a double team flying move that drives both halves of Rave INC into their opponents on the outside as both Cassidy and Kiki then roll into standing positions while the ref has a "holy shit" look on his face)
Melissa: DOUBLE SOMERSAULT SENTON PLANCHA SUICIDIA!! The Ravers have taken out both Lieta and Jasmine before they even had a chance to *ENTER*!!
Kat: Guess what happened at Homecoming was more of a wake up call than we thought!
(Cassidy takes the time to haul Jasmine into the ring while Kiki works to get Lieta up but the former combat sports by quickly hitting a Gamengiri on the outside that drives Kiki backwards a little bit before quickly locking in the rear naked choke from behind, hoping to do a little bit of damage to Kiki before anything more can happen.)
(Meanwhile on the inside of the ring, Cassidy tosses Jasmine to the far ropes while she rebounds off of the far ropes to quickly catch Jasmine on the rebound with a springboard bulldog before she quickly tries for a pin but Jasmine kicks out at one)
Melissa: While Cassidy is a ball of fire tonight, her partner on the other hand seems to be having an issue with Lieta as the former professional fighter seems to be using Kiki kind of like a ragdoll with that choke of hers.
Kat: True...
(Whatever Kat is about to say is suddenly lost as the crowds suddenly explode with a huge face pop as Lieta's eyes go wide as suddenly she has a face full of Cassidy as the daughter of Madame Vega suddenly comes flying out of the ring as Lieta suddenly eats a forearm smash to the face, this causes Lieta to release the hold and gives Kiki a repreve while Cassidy moves to check on her partner)
Kat: ...now that was a pretty awesome move!
Melissa: It looks like Cassidy was paying a touch of homage to one of her trainers in Tarah Nova with that picture perfect usage of Nova's own Detroit Smash.
(Kiki slowly gets back into the ring while Jasmine meets Cassidy at the halfway point by grabbing a very good couple of handfuls of blonde locks and *YANKING* Cassidy into the ring before following it up with a stiff shoot kick to the back of Cassidy's back before she quickly eats a "Mafia Kick" attempt from Kiki but Jasmine quickly rolls it up and over into a "Vanity Killer" at which point Jasmine quickly goes for the pin and yells for the ref)
Jasmine (w/o mic): COUNT *NOW*!!
Ref (w/o mic): NO!!
(The ref makes a negative motion with his arms)
Melissa: Wait...who is legal between Kiki and Cassidy right now?
(Cassidy's face slowly takes on a predatory grin as the realization dawns on Jasmine who then quickly gets up only to be met with a "V for Vega" kick to her face at which point Cassidy goes for the pin but Lieta quickly comes in and breaks up the pin attempt before the ref can even get into position but as Lieta attempts to start laying the boots into Cassidy, Cassidy gets a stiff shot into Lieta's mid-section which doubles her over before Lieta eats a Scissors Kick from Kiki who then quickly doesn't waste any time as she moves in and follows it up with a Gory Special Facebuster!)
Kat: Kiki Boots to a Slam Dance, Kiki may have had a stiff incoming to this match but right now she's showing Lieta that she's not to be laughed at!!
(Kiki quickly rolls Lieta out of the ring as Cassidy quickly pulls up Jasmine before looking at the other woman for a moment but then shakes her head and hits another "V for Vega" before quickly going for the pinfall)
Ref: ONE..TTWWOO...TTTHHHRRREEEEEE!!!
*DING* *DING*!!
Announcer: The winners of your match via pinfall, the team of Cassidy Vega and Kiki Kumiko...RAVE *INCORPORATED*!!!
Melissa: Rave Inc. has shown great teamwork in this match!
Kat: Cassidy took advantage of the chaos and used it to her advantage! I can definitely see these two in the running for the tag belts soon enough.
(The camera opens to Maria Cuesta standing with April Song, mic in hand.)
Maria Cuesta: April, two weeks ago at Homecoming you was attacked by a woman who revealed herself to be Celes Dumont. Do you know why this happened? What does she have against you?
April Song: Well Maria when you have a title reign as long as mine-
(Suddenly the screen with Maria and April suddenly bursts into static that soon clears up and we see none other than Celes Dumont sitting somewhere and looking into a camera)
Celes: Riveting stuff there, April. Now if you would be so kind and please be quiet...your ego won't let me hear what that lovely dish Maria is saying. Oh and speaking of Maria, hellllooo nurse!!!
(Celes winks into the camera before her face grows somewhat serious as she refocuses her attention on the matter at hand)
Celes: Seriously though April, if you want to know why I attacked you then you're not as clever as I assumed you to be...I mean *HE* thinks the world of you, *HE* worships the very ground that you float above...me, I didn't attack you because you're a champion or because of how famous you supposedly are.
(Celes' face twitches ever so slightly, almost like the mask of civility is about to come off of her face)
Celes: I..."introduced"...myself to you because I wanted to. And you should feel honored because for the first time in your entire career, you have someone gunning for you not because you're April the Champion or you're April the Clout...but because you are simply there, you wanted someone to fight, to take you to that next level...maybe you should not have left it to Chaos? Now I wouldn't mind facing you in a match, April, to introduce new facts of life to you first hand by beating them into your skull...but I want you to think on this whole situation, first. I know from your own past history that you don't do anything without thinking it through first and that's what I want you to do, April. Before you jump up and give me your solid answer about facing me in a match I want you to think it over...but you don't have to worry about me , I'm always looking for a fight and I won't be hard to find at all. So think it over, ponder the kinds of mysteries that I can bring to you while I treat lovely Maria there like the goddess that she is.
(The screen returned back to a confused Maria and April. Before Maria could get a word out of The Lethal Specialist, she stormed off with a mix of concern and annoyance on her face.)
The camera cuts to Kayla Winters backstage, who is carrying her new LAW Championship over her shoulder and walking around enthusiastically as she looks for someone. She checks on some areas, opens some doors and didn’t seem to find anyone. Finally, she checks in the refreshment station and finally spots Sweet Roxy taking a drink of no-sugar iced tea out of a white paper cup.
Kayla Winters: Where the hell did you disappear to? I’ve been trying to reach you since after Homecoming and you wouldn’t answer your phone or respond to my messages! Come on girl, I wanted to celebrate! I’m starting to think that you’re avoiding me, hm?
Sweet Roxy: (laughing) Are you kidding? I’m very happy for you! I’ve just had some recent obligations with back-to-back shows with Boiling Point and Doll In coming up! I’m very in-demand, you know? I barely have any time to breathe! The people at iDoll Entertainment already has my week scheduled for me and my travel plans booked, and mother won’t be happy if I stuck around for some unauthorized title celebration… Cause, you know, I didn’t really win the title.
Kayla Winters: Your momma needs to take a chill pill, it looks like. You’re just as much of a winner as I am because other than de-throning that tasteless horseface Roni De Vil, I also have realized over these past many months that we’re more like sisters than a tag team at this point! I am so freakin’ happy and I want my family to celebrate with me!
Kayla Winters leans for a hug, which Sweet Roxy reluctantly accepts.
Sweet Roxy: Trust me, you have no idea how proud you made me, I am so glad that --- DO YOU MIND?
Sweet Roxy looks at the camera crew and backstage staff Maria Cuesta behind them, filming them the entire time, eavesdropping on their conversation while two guys are working the cameras beside her.
Maria Cuesta: Oh, this will be perfect for this wrestling news article I’m workin’ on! Mind if I ask you guys some questions?
Sweet Roxy: Yeah, no, can’t you see we’re having a moment here?
Kayla Winters: No, it’s quite alright. Ever since being LAW Champion, I’ve gotten used to these types of demands. But make it quick, I haven’t got all day.
Maria Cuesta: Awesome! So, Kayla Winters, it’s been two weeks since you were crowned LAW Champion. How do you feel about the competition that’s about to come your way with the intent on taking what’s yours?
Kayla Winters: How do I feel? I feel nothing! Sure, at first it was overwhelming how I managed to pull off that victory and my name was announced the winner, but at the end of it, Sweet Roxy and I did the more important task of eliminating Roni De Vil and Jessica Rose before anything else. Goodluck to them pushing their way back in the main event scene that they never belonged in. Goodluck to them as they struggle to not disappear. There is no better taste of satisfaction than to silence these wannabes. Lethal Angels of Wrestling is and will always be about Sweet Winters. Anyone who wants to try with me could do so, but they shouldn’t keep their hopes too high.
Maria Cuesta: And what about you, Sweet Roxy? You had a VERY CLOSE opportunity to take the title for yourself before your own partner swooped in and took your victory for you. Is there even an ounce of animosity or betrayal that you felt that moment?
Sweet Roxy took a moment to answer as Maria and Kayla look on. Roxy suddenly giggles.
Sweet Roxy: You’re joking, right? Any victory for one of us is a victory for both. That’s really all there is to it.
Kayla Winters: 100% Agreed!
Maria Cuesta listens on as she writes on her notepad. Kayla Winters then checks her watch.
Kayla Winters: Well this has been fun! But duty calls. Meet you later, Roxy?
Sweet Roxy smiles and nods as Kayla Winters leaves with her LAW Championship. As soon as Kayla is out of sight, Sweet Roxy rolls her eyes before turning around with her empty paper cup she drank out of.
Sweet Roxy: Excuse me, looks like I’ll need to put this trash in the garbage can. Where it belongs.
Sweet Roxy makes her exit, leaving Maria Cuesta all by herself with an intrigued look on her face. The camera cuts to commercial.
The match starts off with Sweet Roxy taunting Jessica with Kayla grinning at an annoyed Roni de Vil from the outside. As Roxy walks up to Jessica, she finds herself pushed across the ring. There’s a look of fury in Jessica’s eyes for what was done to her by Sweet Winters at Homecoming. Roxy scrambles to her feet Martix evades a running clothesline. As Jessica turns around, Roxy starts unleashing a flurry of strikes. Jessica pushes her against the ropes and goes for another roundhouse that Roxy avoids and counters with a Pele Kick! As Jessica is on all fours, Roxy hits the ropes and catches her with a running swinging neckbreaker. As Jessica retreats to the corner, Roxy lies on her stomach, grinning at her opponent. Jessica uses the ropes for support as she gets to her feet, observing her opponent’s movements. Roxy slowly gets up with her eyes on her prey. Ringside Roni is yelling advice while Kayla looks on, saying nothing. Enraged, Jessica charges at Roxy who counters with a waist lock. Jessica elbows her way out of the hold and starts raining down forearms and faces washes against Roxy’s face once she hits the mat.
Melissa Flash: Jessica Rose is unleashed!
Kat Ricci: She has a lot of pent up anger for what was done to her at Homecoming! That’s why Madam Vega has set up this match!
Jessica ties Roxy against the ropes and applies a chin lock. She breaks the hold before the five count and backs away as Roxy tries to recover. Rose picks her back up and hits a knife edge chop across the chest. She hits several more and follows with a back suplex that Roxy flips out of. Just as she turns around, Roxy counters with The Tramp Stamp (Jumping Superkick out of Nowhere)! A wounded Jessica crawls to the corner where Roxy follows up with a Bronco Buster! The crowd goes nuts over the move as Roxy winks and sticks her tongue out at the audience. Roxy pulls Jessica to the center of the ring for the pin, but Jessica kicks out at two. Frustrated, Roxy hits the ropes to go for the Felina (Running Curb Stomp) but Jessica catches her foot and counters with the HM01 (Jumping Cutter)! Instead of pinning Roxy she follows up with the Rose Lancer (Hoverboard Kimura Lock)! Roxy struggles and is about to tap when…
Melissa Flash: What the hell!? The lights went out! What the hell is going on!
Kat Ricci: I don’t know, but I hear a lot of commotion coming from the ring. Wait, there’s some ringside as well! What the hell is going on!?
(The lights come on and standing in the center of the ring is a familiar face...OWA Women’s World Champion NATALIE CAGE!)
Melissa Flash: What!? It’s OWA Women’s Champion Natalie Cage! She just attacked everyone in the ring!
Kat Ricci: She’s standing on the LAW Championship. She’s sending a message to the entire locker room!
(As Madam Vega come out with security from backstage, Natalie runs out of the ring and escapes through the audience. As medical officials and other staff check on everyone, the camera closes in on Madam Vega staring in the audience Natalie escaped into with a look of fury on her face.)
(LAW and IJWF logos buzz)
Kayla walks back and forth around the ring.
Kayla Winters: Now, normally your world champion would tell you that someday you could be just like them.
(Kayla smirks)
Kayla Winters: But not me. Let's face it - none of you could ever be like me! Some goals are just unobtainable because I am better than you! I’m richer, more educated, and the best wrestler in this company! I think you get the picture I‘m trying to paint here.

Kayla Winters: Roxy, it was nothing personal at Homecoming, and if you have a grievance we can settle it at our little family meeting later. But for now, I stand here your not so humble LAW champion. Takeover complete.

Melissa Flash: We’ll get to see how she’s holding up tonight when she’s standing in Jessica Rose’s corner in tonight’s main event with Sweet Roxy!
Kat Ricci: I wonder if Kayla’s going to be in Roxy’s corner.
Melissa Flash: We’ll find out soon enough. But first, a message from Carla Luna!
(The camera opens to a previously recorded video of fiery redhead Carla Luna standing in the backstage hallway)
Carla Luna: As I said, I'd beat Olga Petrov at LAW: Homecoming and I just did that! Marking my debut with a victory is a great thing. I mean, that's what everyone wants right? I'm grateful that I got what I wanted.

Carla Luna: Do what you want to do though, Ruby, whatever tricks you have under your sleeves, I'm game. I have to be ready for everything and so should you.
(The camera fades as Carla walks away)
Singles Match: Carla Luna vs Ruby Auriel
Melissa Flash: Luna’s been on fire since this match started! Ruby can’t even lay a finger on her!
Kat Ricci: Luna hits the ropes and lands the baseball slide! Ruby goes tumbling down as Carla pursues her!
Carla slides out ringside and rolls her opponent back into the ring. She attempts a signature Exploder Suplex, but Ruby blocks it and counters with a Reverse STO!

Kat: Guess what happened at Homecoming was more of a wake up call than we thought!
(Cassidy takes the time to haul Jasmine into the ring while Kiki works to get Lieta up but the former combat sports by quickly hitting a Gamengiri on the outside that drives Kiki backwards a little bit before quickly locking in the rear naked choke from behind, hoping to do a little bit of damage to Kiki before anything more can happen.)
(Meanwhile on the inside of the ring, Cassidy tosses Jasmine to the far ropes while she rebounds off of the far ropes to quickly catch Jasmine on the rebound with a springboard bulldog before she quickly tries for a pin but Jasmine kicks out at one)
Melissa: While Cassidy is a ball of fire tonight, her partner on the other hand seems to be having an issue with Lieta as the former professional fighter seems to be using Kiki kind of like a ragdoll with that choke of hers.
Kat: True...
(Whatever Kat is about to say is suddenly lost as the crowds suddenly explode with a huge face pop as Lieta's eyes go wide as suddenly she has a face full of Cassidy as the daughter of Madame Vega suddenly comes flying out of the ring as Lieta suddenly eats a forearm smash to the face, this causes Lieta to release the hold and gives Kiki a repreve while Cassidy moves to check on her partner)
Kat: ...now that was a pretty awesome move!
Melissa: It looks like Cassidy was paying a touch of homage to one of her trainers in Tarah Nova with that picture perfect usage of Nova's own Detroit Smash.
(Kiki slowly gets back into the ring while Jasmine meets Cassidy at the halfway point by grabbing a very good couple of handfuls of blonde locks and *YANKING* Cassidy into the ring before following it up with a stiff shoot kick to the back of Cassidy's back before she quickly eats a "Mafia Kick" attempt from Kiki but Jasmine quickly rolls it up and over into a "Vanity Killer" at which point Jasmine quickly goes for the pin and yells for the ref)
Jasmine (w/o mic): COUNT *NOW*!!
Ref (w/o mic): NO!!
(The ref makes a negative motion with his arms)
Melissa: Wait...who is legal between Kiki and Cassidy right now?
(Cassidy's face slowly takes on a predatory grin as the realization dawns on Jasmine who then quickly gets up only to be met with a "V for Vega" kick to her face at which point Cassidy goes for the pin but Lieta quickly comes in and breaks up the pin attempt before the ref can even get into position but as Lieta attempts to start laying the boots into Cassidy, Cassidy gets a stiff shot into Lieta's mid-section which doubles her over before Lieta eats a Scissors Kick from Kiki who then quickly doesn't waste any time as she moves in and follows it up with a Gory Special Facebuster!)
Kat: Kiki Boots to a Slam Dance, Kiki may have had a stiff incoming to this match but right now she's showing Lieta that she's not to be laughed at!!
(Kiki quickly rolls Lieta out of the ring as Cassidy quickly pulls up Jasmine before looking at the other woman for a moment but then shakes her head and hits another "V for Vega" before quickly going for the pinfall)
Ref: ONE..TTWWOO...TTTHHHRRREEEEEE!!!
*DING* *DING*!!
Announcer: The winners of your match via pinfall, the team of Cassidy Vega and Kiki Kumiko...RAVE *INCORPORATED*!!!
Melissa: Rave Inc. has shown great teamwork in this match!
Kat: Cassidy took advantage of the chaos and used it to her advantage! I can definitely see these two in the running for the tag belts soon enough.
(The camera opens to Maria Cuesta standing with April Song, mic in hand.)
Maria Cuesta: April, two weeks ago at Homecoming you was attacked by a woman who revealed herself to be Celes Dumont. Do you know why this happened? What does she have against you?
April Song: Well Maria when you have a title reign as long as mine-
(Suddenly the screen with Maria and April suddenly bursts into static that soon clears up and we see none other than Celes Dumont sitting somewhere and looking into a camera)
Celes: Riveting stuff there, April. Now if you would be so kind and please be quiet...your ego won't let me hear what that lovely dish Maria is saying. Oh and speaking of Maria, hellllooo nurse!!!
(Celes winks into the camera before her face grows somewhat serious as she refocuses her attention on the matter at hand)
Celes: Seriously though April, if you want to know why I attacked you then you're not as clever as I assumed you to be...I mean *HE* thinks the world of you, *HE* worships the very ground that you float above...me, I didn't attack you because you're a champion or because of how famous you supposedly are.
(Celes' face twitches ever so slightly, almost like the mask of civility is about to come off of her face)
Celes: I..."introduced"...myself to you because I wanted to. And you should feel honored because for the first time in your entire career, you have someone gunning for you not because you're April the Champion or you're April the Clout...but because you are simply there, you wanted someone to fight, to take you to that next level...maybe you should not have left it to Chaos? Now I wouldn't mind facing you in a match, April, to introduce new facts of life to you first hand by beating them into your skull...but I want you to think on this whole situation, first. I know from your own past history that you don't do anything without thinking it through first and that's what I want you to do, April. Before you jump up and give me your solid answer about facing me in a match I want you to think it over...but you don't have to worry about me , I'm always looking for a fight and I won't be hard to find at all. So think it over, ponder the kinds of mysteries that I can bring to you while I treat lovely Maria there like the goddess that she is.
(The screen returned back to a confused Maria and April. Before Maria could get a word out of The Lethal Specialist, she stormed off with a mix of concern and annoyance on her face.)
The camera cuts to Kayla Winters backstage, who is carrying her new LAW Championship over her shoulder and walking around enthusiastically as she looks for someone. She checks on some areas, opens some doors and didn’t seem to find anyone. Finally, she checks in the refreshment station and finally spots Sweet Roxy taking a drink of no-sugar iced tea out of a white paper cup.
Kayla Winters: Where the hell did you disappear to? I’ve been trying to reach you since after Homecoming and you wouldn’t answer your phone or respond to my messages! Come on girl, I wanted to celebrate! I’m starting to think that you’re avoiding me, hm?
Sweet Roxy: (laughing) Are you kidding? I’m very happy for you! I’ve just had some recent obligations with back-to-back shows with Boiling Point and Doll In coming up! I’m very in-demand, you know? I barely have any time to breathe! The people at iDoll Entertainment already has my week scheduled for me and my travel plans booked, and mother won’t be happy if I stuck around for some unauthorized title celebration… Cause, you know, I didn’t really win the title.
Kayla Winters: Your momma needs to take a chill pill, it looks like. You’re just as much of a winner as I am because other than de-throning that tasteless horseface Roni De Vil, I also have realized over these past many months that we’re more like sisters than a tag team at this point! I am so freakin’ happy and I want my family to celebrate with me!
Kayla Winters leans for a hug, which Sweet Roxy reluctantly accepts.
Sweet Roxy: Trust me, you have no idea how proud you made me, I am so glad that --- DO YOU MIND?
Sweet Roxy looks at the camera crew and backstage staff Maria Cuesta behind them, filming them the entire time, eavesdropping on their conversation while two guys are working the cameras beside her.
Maria Cuesta: Oh, this will be perfect for this wrestling news article I’m workin’ on! Mind if I ask you guys some questions?
Sweet Roxy: Yeah, no, can’t you see we’re having a moment here?
Kayla Winters: No, it’s quite alright. Ever since being LAW Champion, I’ve gotten used to these types of demands. But make it quick, I haven’t got all day.
Maria Cuesta: Awesome! So, Kayla Winters, it’s been two weeks since you were crowned LAW Champion. How do you feel about the competition that’s about to come your way with the intent on taking what’s yours?
Kayla Winters: How do I feel? I feel nothing! Sure, at first it was overwhelming how I managed to pull off that victory and my name was announced the winner, but at the end of it, Sweet Roxy and I did the more important task of eliminating Roni De Vil and Jessica Rose before anything else. Goodluck to them pushing their way back in the main event scene that they never belonged in. Goodluck to them as they struggle to not disappear. There is no better taste of satisfaction than to silence these wannabes. Lethal Angels of Wrestling is and will always be about Sweet Winters. Anyone who wants to try with me could do so, but they shouldn’t keep their hopes too high.
Maria Cuesta: And what about you, Sweet Roxy? You had a VERY CLOSE opportunity to take the title for yourself before your own partner swooped in and took your victory for you. Is there even an ounce of animosity or betrayal that you felt that moment?
Sweet Roxy took a moment to answer as Maria and Kayla look on. Roxy suddenly giggles.
Sweet Roxy: You’re joking, right? Any victory for one of us is a victory for both. That’s really all there is to it.
Kayla Winters: 100% Agreed!
Maria Cuesta listens on as she writes on her notepad. Kayla Winters then checks her watch.
Kayla Winters: Well this has been fun! But duty calls. Meet you later, Roxy?
Sweet Roxy smiles and nods as Kayla Winters leaves with her LAW Championship. As soon as Kayla is out of sight, Sweet Roxy rolls her eyes before turning around with her empty paper cup she drank out of.
Sweet Roxy: Excuse me, looks like I’ll need to put this trash in the garbage can. Where it belongs.
Sweet Roxy makes her exit, leaving Maria Cuesta all by herself with an intrigued look on her face. The camera cuts to commercial.
Singles Match: Sweet Roxy w/ Kayla Winters vs Jessica Rose w/ Roni de Vil
The match starts off with Sweet Roxy taunting Jessica with Kayla grinning at an annoyed Roni de Vil from the outside. As Roxy walks up to Jessica, she finds herself pushed across the ring. There’s a look of fury in Jessica’s eyes for what was done to her by Sweet Winters at Homecoming. Roxy scrambles to her feet Martix evades a running clothesline. As Jessica turns around, Roxy starts unleashing a flurry of strikes. Jessica pushes her against the ropes and goes for another roundhouse that Roxy avoids and counters with a Pele Kick! As Jessica is on all fours, Roxy hits the ropes and catches her with a running swinging neckbreaker. As Jessica retreats to the corner, Roxy lies on her stomach, grinning at her opponent. Jessica uses the ropes for support as she gets to her feet, observing her opponent’s movements. Roxy slowly gets up with her eyes on her prey. Ringside Roni is yelling advice while Kayla looks on, saying nothing. Enraged, Jessica charges at Roxy who counters with a waist lock. Jessica elbows her way out of the hold and starts raining down forearms and faces washes against Roxy’s face once she hits the mat.
Melissa Flash: Jessica Rose is unleashed!
Kat Ricci: She has a lot of pent up anger for what was done to her at Homecoming! That’s why Madam Vega has set up this match!
Jessica ties Roxy against the ropes and applies a chin lock. She breaks the hold before the five count and backs away as Roxy tries to recover. Rose picks her back up and hits a knife edge chop across the chest. She hits several more and follows with a back suplex that Roxy flips out of. Just as she turns around, Roxy counters with The Tramp Stamp (Jumping Superkick out of Nowhere)! A wounded Jessica crawls to the corner where Roxy follows up with a Bronco Buster! The crowd goes nuts over the move as Roxy winks and sticks her tongue out at the audience. Roxy pulls Jessica to the center of the ring for the pin, but Jessica kicks out at two. Frustrated, Roxy hits the ropes to go for the Felina (Running Curb Stomp) but Jessica catches her foot and counters with the HM01 (Jumping Cutter)! Instead of pinning Roxy she follows up with the Rose Lancer (Hoverboard Kimura Lock)! Roxy struggles and is about to tap when…
Melissa Flash: What the hell!? The lights went out! What the hell is going on!
Kat Ricci: I don’t know, but I hear a lot of commotion coming from the ring. Wait, there’s some ringside as well! What the hell is going on!?
(The lights come on and standing in the center of the ring is a familiar face...OWA Women’s World Champion NATALIE CAGE!)
Melissa Flash: What!? It’s OWA Women’s Champion Natalie Cage! She just attacked everyone in the ring!
Kat Ricci: She’s standing on the LAW Championship. She’s sending a message to the entire locker room!
(As Madam Vega come out with security from backstage, Natalie runs out of the ring and escapes through the audience. As medical officials and other staff check on everyone, the camera closes in on Madam Vega staring in the audience Natalie escaped into with a look of fury on her face.)
