In-Ring
(“Weatherman” by Dead Sara plays as the new Lethal Specialist Champion Sydney St. Clair walks out to a hot crowd cheering her on. The champ tilts her sunglasses downward as she raises her title in the air and make her way down to the ring.)
Monica Vaughan: With everything that has been going on in 2020, it’s nice to have a happy story towards the end of such a turbulent year.
Kat Ricci: I get what you mean, but who knows what December will bring. As for now, Sydney wants the crowd to know that the Original Specialist is back!
(Sydney climbs into the ring and grabs a mic. She hoists her title over her shoulders as she addresses the fans.)
Sydney St. Clair: Man, it feels good to be out here tonight. You know, up until I won this back, the night I lost the Lethal Specialist Championship was the worst day of my life. I hated myself for a really long time, but eventually I got over myself and traveled the world. I met a lot of amazing people along the way and with each fight I learned more about myself. Once I felt more like myself again I came back to LAW to set things right. Honestly I couldn’t do it without you fans out there. With each of you behind me I felt like I could win the Lethal Scramble and become your Specialist Champion for a second time-
(“Death By Dishonor” by Ghostmane, Shakewell, Pouya and Erick The Architect plays as Kyie Monroe walks out with a scowl on her face. The Scottish woman was in her plain clothes but her face suggest that she was ready for a fight. The former stood on the stage with her arms cross, waiting until her song faded to speak with the mic in her hand.)
Kylie Monroe: Please, save us the burden of having to sit here and listen to your little redemption story. Honestly I can care less about your little Cinderella story because as far as I’m concerned you didn’t earn that title over your shoulder which by the way is till MINE.
(Sydney laughs and shakes her head.)
Sydney St. Clair: Come again? You must have suffered some kind of brain damage because last I checked whoever got the final pin in a scramble match is the winner and in this case, the Lethal Specialist Champion. But if you need a reminder on who the real specialist of LAW is, then I’m willing to meet you anytime, anywhere.
Kylie Monroe: I’m so happy you said that because I’m going to get my rematch. And when it’s just you and I, I’m going to embarrass your fat ass before the entire world. Just like I did to everyone else who tried to take that belt from me in one-on-one competition.
Sydney St. Clair: Alright, sweetie. I’ll be waiting, but you better not keep a girl waiting.
Kylue Monroe: Oh I won’t, lass. And when I get that belt back...you’ll never see me coming.
(“Death by Dishonor” plays as Kylie drops the mic and walks to the back. Sydney looks on with a defiant expression on her face.)
Monica Vaughan: Bold words from Kylie Monroe! Madam Vega hasn’t agreed to anything yet, but Monroe seems confident that she’s going to get a chance to get the Lethal Specialist title back.
Kat Ricci: Rematch clauses aren’t guaranteed in LAW but there’s always a good chance that the general manager will look favorbly upon those who with lengthy reigns. We’ll see how this plays out. But for now, let’s get ready for our next match!

(Llorona stops in her tracks and frowns at the interviewer.)
Llorona: Let me guess - you want to know why I did it, huh? Why I threw away a chance at beating Brenda Martin fair and square?
Maria Cuesta: Well I uh- yeah.
Llorona: Listen, this was never about who was better than who. This was about me teaching a bitch a much needed lesson! If you step to me, prepared to get put in your place! That chica thought she was tough with that backwards cap but she’s not talking anymore-
(Before Llorona could finish, Brenda Martin came out of nowhere and tackled Llorona, wailing on her body with her fists.)

Kayla Winters: That’s laughable, there’s no one in LAW that I consider a rival, but I will say this Nina in tonight's main event because of me, because really who actually cares about Nina Sanada.
Maria Cuesta: I think these fans care.
Kayla Winters: That just shows why they're complete idiots. LAW management dragged Nina out of whatever retirement home she was in the try and take my title, I destroyed her, and at every event I have destroyed her, but she’s obviously to stupid to realize that I’m superior to her in every way possible, longest reigning tag team champion, Kayla Winters, longest reigning Law world champion again Kayla Winters, longest reigning IJWF again me, I will say this once last time to you, all these Las Vegas idiots, and LAW management, Nina Sanada can’t beat me, and while I don’t consider myself a malicious person, I fell its necessary to end Nina Sanada’s career here tonight, as a message to anything who thinks they can beat me, and take what I have, Nina tonight your career is over.

In Ring
(“Cherry Bomb” by The Runaways is slowly fading out as Madam Vega is seen already standing in the center of the ring with a mic. )
Madam Vega: Our second Thunderstruck event was quite possibly one of the most thrilling shows we’ve had in this modern interaction of LAW. We’ve had two title changes and a lot of new faces make their PPV debut. Unfortunately, all of this came at a price. At the end of the main event, we all watched in horror as Amber Payne speared Sweet Roxy off the top of the Thunderdome. Fortuntaely, they are not seriously injured, but it will take time for both of them to recover. Upon reviewing the footage multiple times from different angles, I can safely say that Roxy is STILL your Lethal Angel Champion!
(An eruption of cheers and booes are heard from the audience as Vega pauses for a moment.)
Madam Vega: Roxy’s body hit the ground first, but such a bold move by Amber reminded me of the crazy stunts I used to pull back in my day. So, I came to a solution: At our next major show - Sin City - Roxy will be putting her LAW Championship on the line against Ms. Payne in a one-on-one encounter!
(The crowd responds to this news with positivity as Vega looks on with a smile on her face.)
Monica Vaughan: Welp, we have our Sin City main event lined up!
Madam Vega: Roxy won’t be the one one defending her title has the other titles will be on the line-
Female Voice: That’s good to hear, Madame General Manager!
(Madam Vega looks towards the stage with a frown as she watched Celeste Dumont, Io Ishimori, and Kylie Monroe walk out. The voice belonged to Monroe herself, who stood between the team with a mic in her hand.)
Kylie Monroe: Since You’re in the mood to give out match opportunities, maybe you can give us former champs a rematch clause. These girls here and myself have carried this brand on our backs since the start of this season and it’ll go to hell if you let the likes of Sydney St. Clair and The De Vil Sisters have their way!
(Madam Vega rubs her chin a little before responding to Monroe’s request.)
Madam Vega: You know what? Fine, you got it. But, the champions will decide the matches. Good luck women.
(“Cherry Bomb plays as Vega leaves the room. The camera lingers on a satisfied Kylie, Celeste and Io as they walk to the back.)
Kat Ricci: Now we have two more matches announced for Sin City! Sydney St. Clair will be facing Kylie Monroe and The Devil Sisters will be butting heads with Celeste and Io Ishimori one more time! This is already shaping up to be quite the show. With Emmanuelle earning a shot at Jessica Hendrix, all four of our title matches are in order!
Monica Vaughan: After hearing about the brawl backstage, I’m wondering if we’re going to see Llorona vs Brenda Martin.
Kat Ricci: Uh about that...we just got word that something’s going on again right now!
(Kat and Monica look up at the tron which shows Brenda Martin lying on top of a broken table. Around her and underneath her are various Thanksgiving food items. Squatting next to her is a worried Savannah Sunshine calling for help. Brenda’s body looks in disarray as if she was attacked. The scene causes quite a stir as the camera moves from the hotel dining hall to down the corridor where it catches a large figure exiting the premises. As the cameraman heads outside, it catches a black SUV leaving the parking lot.)
Monica Vaughan: What did we just see? Was Brenda Martin attacked by a mysterious assailant!?
Kat Ricci: Something tells me Llorona has something to do with this. We don’t have much information ladies and gentlemen, but when we find out more, we’ll let you know!
Monica Vaughan: I guess Savannah Sunshine won’t be having her Thanksgiving celebration tonight!
Kat Ricci: I guess not. For now, we’ll turn our attention to our main event!
Main Event
Nina Sanada vs Kayla Winters
The match itself started out as a slow, methodical affair with Kayla and Nina feeling each other out. The veteran was careful to make sure she didn’t make any mistakes from their last encounter as they locked up in the center of the ring. Kayla had the upper hand at first, but Nina’s technical prowess has pulled through as she gets Kayla to the mat with a waist-lock takedown. Sanada does what she can to keep Winters down, but when Kayla tries to move, Nina transitions with a deadlift High-Angle Belly-to-Back Suplex! Nina covers, but Kayla kicked out at one. Nina wastes no time sitting Kayla up and applies a grounded sleeper hold. Winters tries fighting her way out of it, but Sanada transitions into a variety of working holds to keep her opponent guessing. Eventually, Nina transitions into an Indian Deathlock which has Nina in a predicament. Referee Jenny Carson checks on Winters who is trying to reach for the ropes. The IJWF World Champion refuses to give up and powers through by pulling herself to the ropes. Nina keeps the hold locked until the ref counts to four and releases the leg.
Monica comments on the technique of the five-time JET World Champion as Nina invites Kayla back to the center of the ring. The two lock-up once more with Winters skillfully catching Nina off her feet with a double leg takedown. She attempts an ankle lock, but Nina rolls through and flips Kayla on her back with her leg. Nina uses the momentum to transition into a Mexican Surfboard! Winters’ body is stretched to its very limits as she starts screaming out in pain. Kayla’s bodyguard/manager looks on with no expression as she’s used to seeing her boss in tough situations. Eventually Nina releases the hold and gets to her feet, and climbs up the nearest turnbuckle. Kayla goes for a moonsault, but Kayla is pulled out of the ring by Grace, causing Nina to land on the mat with a thud! The ref reprimands Grace, who backs away with her arms raised. Kayla slides back into the ring and attempts a pin, but Nina kicks out at two. Winters works the arm with various locks and stretches. Nina has trouble escaping and is at Kayla’s mercy. Winters picks her up and Irish whips her to the ropes, rebounds, and ducks under a clothesline, catching Kayla with a spinning wheel kick on the second rebound.
Nina picks up Kayla and knocks her into the ropes with a headbutt! Kayla bounces off the ropes back into Nina’s arms who catches her with a jumping DDT, spiking Kayla’s head onto the mat! She makes another cover, but Winters kicks out. Slamming her fist on the mat in frustration, Nina pulls Kayla up and whips her to the corner, but Winters reverses and whips Nina instead. She hits a vicious running dropkick to the chest and lifts Sanada to the top turnbuckle. Kayla tries to climb to the middle rope, but Nina kicks her off and perches herself on the top rope. Before Kayla could react, Nina dives off the top for a hurricanrana, but Winters counters into a pinning powerbomb! As the ref counted to two, Nina wrapped her legs around Kayla’s neck and rolled backwards to pin Winters in an unorthodox pinning maneuver. Unfortunately Kayla kicks out past the three count, giving Nina the surprise victory. As the ref declared her the victor, Nina slid out the ring and started walking backwards up the ramp, away from a furious Grace Hollister. As Kayla looked on in disbelief, a grinning Sanada tapped a finger to the side of her head and gave a wink as the camera faded out.
Winner: Nina Sanada via roll-up pin
