Episode 41: Amazonian Revenge
[COLD OPEN]
(Money by Pink Floyd blares inside the Globe Theater, Kayla steps on the stage flanked by her sister Christy, and Manager/Bodyguard Grace. They smugly make their way to the ring, as boos rain down. Christy grabs a mic and the three-step inside the ring.)
Christy: Shhhh, calm it down dummies, your better is about to speak.
(Christy hands the mic to Kayla.)
Kayla: Thanks sis, now before I get to the real reason I came here tonight, I’ll first address my opponent here tonight, Brenda Martin. Brenda, I know you are nervous about facing me, If I were facing me I’d be nervous too, but you don’t have to worry Brenda, our match won’t last long enough for you to get nervous. Brenda, I have ruled this ring since I walked through the doors of LAW. Tonight Brenda I’ll be issuing another wrestling lesson, a lesson that you will learn the hard way, because I never do anything the easy way, Brenda tonight consider the loss you take tonight as a life lesson, one you can hopefully learn from.
(Kayla pauses for a moment.)
Kayla: Now let’s get down to the real business, and how I stuck it to everyone at Amazon Warfare. I bet you all thought that when I entered at number two, I wouldn’t have the stamina to go all the way, but I did, I outlasted thirty other women, using my intelligence, you know Intelligence, something you people lack.
(The crowd boos.)
Kayla: Yeah, yeah, whatever, the simple facts are I won Amazon Warfare because I’m the *Censored* best and smartest professional wrestler LAW has ever had, period, even that attempted distraction by playing Nina Sanada’s music wasn’t enough to break me away from my goal, I won Amazon Warfare, and all of you can suck it.
(Kayla walks around the ring.)
Kayla: Nina, I’ve enough of your crap, I know you were instrumental in me no longer being IJWF world champion, well now it's time for me to reveal that surprise opponent I have chosen for you, she is someone you know very well, she is someone the all the fans and wrestler’s of LAW know very well.
(Kayla’s face turns to an evil smile.)
Kayla: She is also someone the folks over a JET know very, very well. Nina, it's time you learn that when a Winters wants something we get it, and when I chose the surprise opponent for you, I made sure it was a memorable opponent. Nina Sanada, your surprise opponent is none other than the co-owner of Joshi Extreme Takeover, Stephanie Matsuda.
Monica: What!?
Kat: Matsuda!? What does she have to do with this!?
(The crowd goes silent with shock as Kayla smirks)
Kayla: Nina, your welcome.
(“Money” plays as Kayla, Christy, and Grace then leave the ring and exit the arena.)
Kat: Stephanie Matsuda will be taking Nina Sanada on in a career-threatening match at Lethals Hearts! Monica, you didn’t know anything about this!?
Monica: N-no I didn’t.
(The camera lingers on Monica as she looks at her phone to try and message her wife.)
Amazon Warfare Revenge
Bianca Page vs Valerie Hendrix
Page nods, unbothered that Valerie refuses to stay down, and backs away. She charges right at Valerie, who counters with a drop toehold, forcing Bianca to trip right into the turnbuckle! Bianca shakily tries to get some space away from Hendrix, but she's not making it easy for her. Valerie lifts Page up, and violently brings her down with a spinebuster! As Bianca holds her back, Hendrix smirks, thinking she has it in the bag. Valerie climbs to the top and goes for a moonsault, but Bianca jumps to her feet and nails Valerie with a Big Apple (Knockout Punch) when she was halfway in rotation! Bianca then covers for the successful pinfall!
Winner: Bianca Page via pinfall
Scene opens with Amber Payne sitting in the Xfinity Green Room at WMMR studio located just outside Philadelphia. She is dress in a nice button-down blouse with pair of dark navy-blue jeans and her favorite pair of black/white high-top converse shoes. It is about 9am as she is about to appear on the Preston and Steve Morning Show. She feels nervous and anxious, as this is her favorite morning radio show she listens to every weekday. To be on this show is honor and something she always wanted to do. Sitting in the green room, she can see through the glass as Preston, Steve Casey and Kathy sitting in the studio talking. She can hear over the speaker as the go to commercial break. One of the producers Marisa comes in and asks her to walk with her to come sit in the studio to get ready for the interview. Amber stands up, puts the WrestleWorld Hybrid Tag Team Title over her shoulder as she walks into the room. She turns slightly red as she greets the crew in the studio and sits down at her designated seat. As she puts on the headset she can hear “Preston and Steve Morning Show! On 93.3 WWMR. The Rock Station!” She takes a deep breathe…
Preston: “We are back. Our guest currently is one of the most beautiful professional wrestlers in the industry. She is the current and reigning WrestleWorld Hybrid Tag Team champion, multiple time champion and Philadelphia native. Please welcome Amber Payne!”
Everyone in the studio starts clapping as she takes a small bow. She knows no one can look.
Amber Payne: “Thank you for having. I am so excited to on the show here. I have been a fan of the show.”
Steve: “Well finding about you, we are becoming fans of you here at the show. So, we have the million-dollar question here. Why a beautiful woman like yourself is a professional wrestler?”
Amber blushes a bit and smiles hearing Steve given her a complement…
Amber Payne: “Thank you for those words. The reason why I became a pro wrestler is because like so many, we are fans of it. I have been a fan since I was in high school. So, I in my senior year, I was able to train in a school right down in South Philly. Year and half later, I had my first match. Since then I have pushing myself to become one of the best women wrestlers in the world.”
Kathy: “It’s so cool to hear you say that. As a woman, its great to see other women like you do some many great things. I know pro wrestling is a industry that is more men than woman. Some say you’re a role model for younger girls to be able to follow their dreams to be a wrestler. How are you able to handle yourself and be this strong woman in this industry?”
Amber Payne: “I never consider myself a role model. I am proud that I feel I am strong person to be able handle the difficulties in this industry. At first, a lot of men and even women were thinking I was nothing more than a weak girl in a big world. I learn to grow and get stronger, to the point I said to myself I need to step my game up and prove more than I am stronger. So, at one I decided to take on the men in any company I worked in. At some point, I earn their respect and I won few men’s titles. Its woman like me who are changing this industry every year. There is other woman like my mentor who has been showing the boys anything they can do; we can do better.”
Everyone in the room smiles and shakes their head in agreement. They see the fire in her eyes as they seem to be happy to have her on the show…
Preston: “Well, we are glad you’re on the show and I am sure the fans of Philadelphia are proud of you. We were able to see some of your most matches. So, the first match we saw was from Lethal Angels of Wrestling Amazon Warfare. What was your mindset going into match like that and how you feel after that?”
Amber: “Amazon Warfare match was impressive. I have been in many battle royals and rumble, that by far was one of the best matches I have ever been in. I was number in the match. Even though was the second person to last the longest in that match, it was really meant to show LAW that I belong there. That I am not some woman on their roster. That I can be more… Congrats to Kayla Winters for winning the whole thing.”
Steve: “I have the say that was crazy match. Now we saw another match you had. Your match in WrestleWorld Grand Tour, you retain your title with your partner TJ Thompson against some big guys. We see the that same title here in the studio you are holding. So how is it to partner up with that goofy guy?”
Amber smiles…
Amber: “I know a lot of people have been asking me that same question. We were just paired and at first, I thought the same thing. But we have grown together as a tag team. Outside of the ring, he can be silly. But when he enters that ring, he becomes serious and goes all out to win. That is why his is my tag partner and fellow champion.”
Everyone in the room shakes their head in agreement…
Casey: “Now I have been checking out your twitter. I seen you have some war of the words with another wrestler name Zane. Can you tell us about that?”
Amber: “Her name is pronounced Zane’. Couple months back me and her had a match. I was injured, part of it was her doing. She walked away the winner but there has been a part of me that wants a rematch with her. Someone tag us and she was trying to come at me. We both went back and worth and I told her if she wants to step in the ring with me again, she better put up that title for hers.”
Steve: “wow that is amazing. Now before we go, we notice you have a few matches coming up. Anything to say about them.”
Amber Payne: “At the next LAW show, I have a match against both Daisy Thrash and Bodhi. Bodhi didn’t much have a showing in the Amazon Warfare, so I am not worried much about her. As for Daisy Thrash, she was a force with a chair. But after that was taking away from here, everyone was able to take her down. So, for me, I wont underestimate them, but I will come out victorious. Finally, there is Lillie Saint in WrestleWorld. She is good wrestler and upcoming one, but she needs to get her head out of her ass. So, for her, she needs to be prepared that I am going to kick her ass and win.”
Preston: “Amber, you seem confident. Good luck on your matches. We want to say thank you for coming on the show Amber Payne and we will be right back with weather and traffic.”
The show goes to commercial as Amber takes off the headset. She goes over and shakes everyone’s hands and thanks them for having her on the show. They ask to get a photo with her, and she agrees…
Scene ends…
(RX Queen plays as a clip of the late wrestler Brody Sparks is shown, followed by narration from her sister, LAW Commentator Monica Vaughan.)
Monica Vaughan: Brody Sparks, born Meagan Christine Vaughan, was a shining star. She was born in Brockton She - as her wrestling name implies - was a spark of life. One of the greatest and most loyal people would’ve known.
April Song: Brody was one of the best I’ve seen. She was the EAW Specialist Champion, a title she would hold for six months. It’s not about how long she held the title, but what she’s done with it as champion.
Revy: Brody knew a lot of us, as far back as the indies. She used to travel with Stephanie Matsuda, Aria Jaxon, and Tarah Nova. Monica would come along and Brody would tag with Aria from time to time. She was with Pride Pro Wrestling before being called up to the pros in Elite Answers Wrestling.
Stephanie Matsuda: Brody and I were in The Coven, a dark stable where we would be dealing with our own inner demons. But somehow we forged a bond’ a sisterhood that made us leave and forge our own path. We knew of each other for a while, but that was when we really connected. Hell, she introduced me to the woman who would become my wife.
Monica Vaughan: Brody...would leave us on October 23rd 2017 at the age of...23. I-I rather not go into the details of it right now. But it left a big gaping hole in my heart and the wrestling community as a whole.
Stephanie Matsuda: Brody would be inducted into EAW’s Hall of Fame in 2018 and was honored through their Iconic Cup Supershow. Her memory lives through everyone whose lives she touched.
Monica Vaughan: When Madam Vega approached me about her plans for Lethal Hearts 3, I was shocked. We met Vega a few times and Brody was close with Tarah Nova, but I...I’m flattered that they want to honor the legacy she’s left behind. The Sparks Cup is a battle royal between those who want to make a name for themselves in LAW and it’ll be an over-the-top battle royal, where the winner will be the first annual Sparks Cup winner and will receive a special opportunity as well. So I wish everyone good luck.
(The camera opens up to Daisy Thrash sitting on a chair backward in the center of the ring. As her theme fades, she lifts her mic to speak. )
Daisy Thrash: I bet you’re all shocked that I’m here. Why the once-heralded “Sheriff of LAW” is back with a new attitude and a bone to pick with just about everyone. Well, imagine that you’re me and you’re about to have this career that’s about to take off. You’re Lethal Angel Champion in one place and a future star in another. Then all of a sudden, you injure your neck in the worst possible way. Doctors tell you that your career is over, that you can’t do the one thing you loved doing more than anything else.
(Daisy gets up from the chair and starts pacing around the ring.)
Daisy Thrash: And then those get well messages and phone calls from the company start dwindling as weeks turn into months which turns into several years. Before you know it, both companies have forgotten about you. Hell, you can’t even get a spot as a backstage correspondent. There’s not even an offer to become a road agent! Everyone you thought of as a friend has turned their back on you and you’re sitting there wondering what’s next!?
(Daisy leans against the rope and shakes her head.)
Daisy Thrash: Luckily fortune smiled upon me and after months, years of physical therapy, and being swamped with hospital bills, I’m able to wrestle again. And just because LAW has taken me back doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten about how they abandoned me too! Madam Vega has signed this place’s death warrant by bringing me back, and the first step was by attacking one of this place’s “beloved” wrestlers. Melissa Flash thinks she can just go as she pleases from retirement back to active duty like it’s a hop and a skip away!? Heh, No...no...NO! I think this place doesn’t need a sheriff anymore. It needs a goddamn outlaw to put everyone one of you in check. Starting tonight.
(Daisy drops the mic and waits for the other two challengers in her match.)
Amazon Warfare Revenge
Amber Payne vs Daisy Thrash vs Bodhi
All three start off eyeing one another before both Bodhi and Thrash team up on Payne, who’s shocked by Bodhi’s decision. Bodhi hits a knee strike to Amber’s chest and Thrash kicks her in the midsection to double her over. They hit a double suplex, and Thrash goes to high five Bodhi only to get a knee strike of her own for her troubles. Bodhi smirks just before she knocks Daisy over the ropes with a jumping roundhouse kick. looking across the ring before she races off, but gets nailed with a spear by Payne before she could dive to the outside! Amber pulls Bodhi up by a fistful of hair and pulls her into a belly-to-belly suplex and makes the cover. Bodhi kicks out at two, but Thrash comes in from out of nowhere to drive Payne back into the corner with a dropkick. Thrash continues the onslaught on Payne with a flurry of forearm strikes till she stumbles out, looking dizzy. As Amber drops to a knee, Daisy hits the ropes and nails her with a Six Shooter (Shining Wizard)!
Daisy Thrash hooks the leg but Bodhi breaks up the pinfall with a jumping knee onto both competitors. While Amber rolls out of the ring in pain, Daisy and Bodhi circle one another. Bodhi quickly grapples Thrash and nails several knees to the face, forcing Thrash to stumble back. Bodhi bounces off the ropes and swings Daisy down with a running DDT. Bodhi looks to the ropes, but Daisy was already getting to her feet. Seeing Thrash charge at her, Bodhi backs up and pulls down the ropes, causing Daisy to fall out onto the apron. Bodhi spikes Daisy’s head on the apron with a bulldog driver, causing Thrash’s body to slump out to the ringside floor. Amber slides into the ring and throws Bodhi back into the ring. Meanwhile, a furious Melissa Flash runs down the ramp and starts beating the hell out of Daisy with stomps and throwing her into the barricade and steel steps.
Meanwhile, Payne and Bodhi are exchanging strikes in the ring. Bodhi nails a spinning back kick and hits the ropes. Amber chases her down and lands a running superkick that knocks Bodhi out of the ring. Amber turns around and sees Melissa roll Daisy back into the ring. Wasting no time, Amber hits the Painkiller (Kudo Driver) for the victory! Melissa looks on with satisfaction and makes her way backstage. Bodhi looks on in disappointment while shaking her head.
Winner: Amber Payne via pinfall
(The sound of laughter could be heard even before the picture comes to life. But it wasn’t the typical joyous kind. It was mildly uncontrollable and a tiny bit manicial. Misha LeCavalier is shown sitting in a plush leather chair as the scene finally fades in. Her eyes are fixated on a massive book that is resting in her lap. The title of the book is unclear, however, it’s turquoise colored binding stands out in the dimmed light.)
Misha LeCavalier: I find it most humorous that this upcoming encounter has been labeled as an “Amazon Warfare Revenge” match. It is a cute little tagline doctored for the express purpose of drawing in more eyes. But I for one loathe manufactured attention, especially when the reality is far more intriguing.
(Her eyes remain stuck on the book’s pages.)
Misha LeCavalier: Eris? Perhaps you assumed that I was furious with you. My shining moment at Amazon Warfare was cut painfully short because of your actions. But truthfully? I am not angry with you. You did what you had to do, yeah? You used me and presence as a way to boost yourself up. How ingenious.
(A moment passes as she flips to the next page.)
Misha LeCavalier: Well, then that simply means I must do what I have to throughout the course of this second encounter. Tis’ only fair, afterall.
(A tiny chuckle escapes her lips.)
Misha LeCavalier: Eris? Jasmine? I sincerely hope you two were not expecting a nice, sweet walk in the park. If so, you shall be sorely disappointed. This bout shall be a painful one; that is something I can guarantee. It has to be in order to convey the message that I wish to send out to the Lethal Angels of Wrestling roster.
(She flips to the next page.)
Misha LeCavalier: I am going to beat the shit out of you two. The brutality shall be agonizing, that I can assure you of. But please be aware that it is not out of hatred or malice―
(A second passes.)
Misha LeCavalier: It all goes back to that fateful tagline. Revenge. Well, the truth of the matter is that LAW would not survive if I chose to take vengeance. People have lost their careers and livelihoods for crossing me incorrectly. Misha LeCavalier’s fury would scorch the earth and leave this company in a pile of ash.
(The corner of her lips arches upward as a small smirk creeps across her face.)
Misha LeCavalier: That is why I classify this match as a statement if you will. And what is that statement? It is simple—I am no one’s stepping stone. Eris? You used me to try and excel. But now? I shall send you spiraling back down to reality. Jasmine? You will not use me as a come-up.
(There’s a moment’s pause before Misha closes the book.)
Misha LeCavalier: LAW has yet to see what it has on its hands. But it shall learn. Everyone here shall learn. Indeed.
(With that, the picture began to fade.)
(An irate Melissa Flash marches up to Madam Vega, who’s talking to a producer in the corridor.)
Melissa Flash: Me. Versus. Daisy. NOW.
(Manam Vega dismisses the producer and turns to face Melissa with a raised eyebrow.)
Madam Vega: I’ll dismiss the disrespectful tone because you’re a colleague and rightfully upset. And since I understand your frustration, I’ll let you in on a match I just booked for Lethal Hearts 3: The Second Chance Ladder Match. Based on their performances in Amazon Warfare, the following women will be competing for a guaranteed contract to compete for the Lethal Angel Championship: Eris, April Song, Amber Payne, Jasmine Peyton, Emmanuelle, Valerie Hendrix, and...the winner of you versus Daisy Thrash in a Chairs Match. That match will be on the first night, and whoever wins will be walking into Night 2 with the opportunity of a lifetime.
(Melissa Flash crossed her arms and smiled.)
Melissa Flash: A match where only chairs are legal? Sounds like poetic justice to me.
Madam Vega: (nods) I knew you would like it.
(Madam Vega smiles to herself as she watches Melissa leave her office.)
(The camera opens to Maria Cuesta standing with Hollywood Fight Club Owner, Jackie Cruz.)
Maria Cuesta: Hi, I’m here with Co-Head Trainer of the Hollywood Fight Club, Jackie Cruz. Now throughout the season, you’ve had several graduates compete in matches. Word is you have another team who will be making their post-graduate debut in Lethal Hearts?
Jackie Cruz: Why yes. Come out girls.
(Two Japanese girls who look to be in their late teens walk into view. One is wearing all pink with a ribbon in her hair and the other is wearing a blue tank top with red and turquoise highlights in her hair.)
Jackie Cruz: This is Arisa Jojima & Sayuri “Thunder” Masuda aka The Princesses of Wrestling!
Maria Cuesta: Sounds familiar…
Arisa Jojima: We are big fans of the Queens of Wrestling! Aria Jaxon…
Sayuri Masuda: And Cloud Matsuda!
(Both girls smile and wave at the camera.)
Arisa Jojima: We’ve followed their careers for many years. Actually, Sayuri and I met here in LA and found out we both came here for one reason - to learn American-style wrestling!
Sayuri Masuda: And once I realized she was a fan of Aria, I told her about being a Cloud fan since her JET era and we decided to work as a team!
Jackie Cruz: They are the winners of our yearly tag tournament and as a reward, I made a deal with a certain pair of sisters…
(Yuri and Rina Sakaraba walk into view from the opposite side. Both Rina and Yuki nod to Jackie and the Princesses of Wrestling.)
Yuri Sakaraba: We’ll gladly put our titles on the line against these two.
Rina Sakaraba: Vega said we can choose our opponents for Lethal Hearts, so I suggest you two prepare yourselves.
Arisa Jojima: We will. Right Sayuri?
Sayuri Masuda: You bet!
(The IJWF Tag Team Champions nod and make their leave as Maria and Jackie look on.)
Amazon Warfare Revenge - #1 Contender’s for the Lethal Specialist Championship
“Big Sexy” Santana vs Savannah Sunshine
Big Sexy takes a look at Savannah and dismisses her with a wave of her hand. Feeling disrespected, Savannah rushes forward and avoids Santana’s by slipping behind her, hitting the ropes, and nails her in the back with a jumping high knee. Santana falls to her knees but gets up to her feet stumbling. A closer look shows she’s having some trouble with her left knee. Savannah goes to the ropes again and spears Santana as she gets up. Sunshine attempts a pin, but Santana throws her off and crawls to the ropes to help her stand. Savannah notices her knee and slams into it with a low dropkick. Santana stumbles again, and Savannah pulls her up but is shoved backward into referee Jenny Carson. Santana takes advantage and sneaks a double thumb poke to the eyes! Santana takes pulls a temporarily blind Savannah into her arms for a high-angle German suplex, dumping Savannah on the back of her neck. Santana grabs her knee from the strain.
Savannah slowly gets to her feet, but Santana lays her down with a clothesline. She picks Savannah into a side headlock and jumps into a bulldog, followed by a cover. Savannah easily kicks out at two. Santana pulls Savannah up and grabs another side headlock. Santana goes for a second bulldog but Savannah uses momentum to shoves her away. Santana turns around and is met with a STARBURST (Bicycle Kick). Santana twists her ankle as she falls to a knee, and Savannah wastes no time hitting the ropes and connecting with SHINIEST RAINBOW (Shining Wizard) for the victory.
Winner: Savannah Sunshine via pinfall.
[Revy is pacing around in the backstage area before going into the locker room area. Her tag partner April is hard at work on something that not too many would expect from an Air Force veteran/professional wrestler: she’s assembling a large LEGO model motorcycle, a red Harley-Davidson built to scale. April is in a state of total concentration, trying to finish assembling the bike when Revy enters the room and stands behind her.]
Revy: YO, TAG PARTNER AND BEST FRIEND!
[April shrieks and whirls around, accidentally tipping the table over that she was working on, dropping the bike to the locker room floor and wrecking it totally, all the lego blocks scattering on the floor.]
Revy: Uh….my bad? What are you doing? Aren’t you a little old for Legos, April? Not that I’m calling you OLD or anything but….
[April looks down at the mess on the floor then back up at Revy, a blank stare on her face, which is getting more and more red the more Revy talks.]
Revy: Look, I know that guy called you “Miss Miyagi” last week but we have to let stuff like that go, okay? I was just thinking about something we could do to make Lethal Hearts awesome and you’re just...sitting here making Lego models? Do you have some kids I don’t know about?
April: (trying her absolute best to stay calm) No, Revy. I just like to build models from time to time. It’s a hobby that I find relaxing.
Revy: Uh...okay? But what has that got to do with wrestling? Why would you bring that to a wrestling show? People could come around and break it, yanno?
April: Okay, I think I’ve had enough of this conversation, so I’m going to strangle you now….
Revy: SHIT! APRIL, CHILL OUT!
[Revy instantly takes off and makes a break for the locker room door. April tries to follow and slips on some of the legos, landing flat on her back in a pile of them.]
April: DAMN IT TO FUCKING HELL! OWWWWWWW….DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH THIS HURTS!? OW! HEY….HELP ME UP!
Revy: HAHAHA! You slipped on some legos, I bet that shit hurts like CRAZY….That’s it! APRIL, THAT’S IT! I’ll be right back!
April: WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING!? HELP ME UP, YOU LITTLE BASKET CASE! REVY! GET THE HELL BACK HERE!
[Revy bolts for the door again and darts out and the target of her sudden inspiration is passing by, Lethal Specialists Champion Sydney St. Clair. Revy excitedly flags her down as Sydney stops, completely baffled.]
Revy: SYDNEY, SYDNEY! I’ve got a fucking amazing idea for your title defense against Savannah!
Sydney: And...why do you care?
Revy: Look, I’m a former Specialists Champion, so I care a little bit about how cool the title looks and that we keep building the title’s reputation for awesome, unpredictable matches. I was just talking to April and she showed me her Lego building hobby and-
Sydney: Wait, April builds Lego sets? At her age?
Revy: Yeah, weird as hell, right? Anyway, She had an accident and fell in a BIIIIGGG pile of Legos and she apparently didn’t enjoy it much, so the idea just came to me! Think about it: LEGO STORE DEATHMATCH! You and Savannah Sunshine in a match born out of April Song’s pain and ridiculous hobby and my genius, hosted by me. What do you think?
Sydney: Hmmm….I mean it is a unique stipulation, I guess. Alright, let’s do it. Lego Store Deathmatch.
Revy: OH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Now I’ve got to get a shitload of legos, corporate sponsors, a broadcasting partner, a streaming partner, a-
April: REVY!
[An enraged April Song, still picking Legos off of her shoulders and out of her hair makes a sprint for Revy, who looks absolutely terrified.]
Revy: Uh, I gotta go now! See ya!
[Sydney watches as Revy dashes out of the frame with April not too far behind in hot pursuit.]
(The scene opens to Brenda Martin backstage getting ready for her match.)
*clapping*
Brenda: Congratulations Miss Kayla Winters, you're heading to Lethal Hearts 3 to challenge to Sweet Roxy for the Lethal Angels Championship. And don't worry I haven't forgotten about you tapping me out at Amazon Warfare, luv. Matter the less, I got long ways to go before I reached the Lethal Angels Championship or any other championships in LAW. But you got lucky because of a little distraction almost work because we all know that April Song suck at battle royals, she'll never win any! But at Amazon Warfare Revenge match, no distraction will not help you win the match.
(camera fades)
(The camera opens to Nina Sanada walking backstage with a scowl on her face. As she opens the door to the conference room, she sees Madam Vega, LAW president Marilyn Bellamy, Stephanie “Cloud” Matsuda, and several gentlemen in suits talking amongst themselves.)
Marilyn Bellamy: Nina...is everything alright?
(Nina shakes her head. Glaring towards Matsuda’s direction.)
Nina Sanada: Cloud and I need to talk...now.
Madam Vega: You’ll have to wait. We’re in a meeting and-
Stephanie Matsuda: Actually this won’t take long. Infact, I don’t even have to leave this seat. You’re wondering why I’m siding with Kayla Winters after everything she’s done right? Well let’s just say after seeing that knockout Midori gave you firsthand it made me think about that conversation we had when you retired the first time. You claimed that you did everything you needed to do and you had no regrets, but yet the moment you realized you couldn't hack it in JET you run to LAW where you lose every major opportunity given to you. Not only that, but you started throwing your weight around to book matches when you had no authorization. As much as I’m happy that Natsu won the IJWF World Championship, it wasn’t your call to make.
Nina Sanada: First off Hanako-
Stephanie Matsuda: Hanako was only doing you a favor. And now I’m going to do you one. You and I will be fighting at Lethal Hearts...with our careers on the line.
(The room grew quiet as Nina clenched her fists, glaring daggers at Stephanie.)
Nina Sanada: You really want to risk everything in a match you may not win?
(Stephanie shook her head.)
Stephanie Matsuda: Trust and believe I know I’m winning. You should've stayed retired on top instead of regressing to a shell of your former self. I’m going to salvage what’s left of your career, even if I have to do it by force. You may not see it now Nina, but this is an act of love.
Nina Sanada: Bullshit, Stephanie. Ever since you started winning those titles, you changed. But no matter. I’m going to humble you, even if I have to take everything away from you.
(Nina storms off, leaving Stephanie looking on with a cold expression on her face.)
Stephanie Matsuda: We’ll see.
Amazon Warfare Revenge
Kayla Winters vs Brenda Martin
As soon as the bell rings Brenda immediately begins laying into Kayla with a series of European Uppercuts and Shoot kicks as Kayla is doing her best to defend herself. Brenda quickly grabs Kayla's head and hits a Snapmare and quickly follows it up with a Sliding Forearm Smash. Brenda goes for a Standing Moonsault and covers.
Kayla manages to kick out at one and is lifted up by Brenda, who wants to end this quick. Brenda goes for a European Uppercut, but is denied with Kayla's Standing Dropkick. Kayla stuns Brenda and quickly hits a Snap Inverted DDT and covers
Brenda is able to kick out at one. Both Brenda and Kayla are on their feet staring at one another. They both realize neither could get a quick victory over the other and soon lock up in a collar-and-elbow tie up. Kayla manages to break the tie-up and quickly hits a Running Bulldog. Kayla follows it up by dragging Brenda to the middle of the ring and applies a Sharpshooter. Kayla keeps at it until Brenda manages to get to the ropes forcing the break. Kayla waits for Brenda to get up before nailing her with the Special K and covers.
No. Brenda is able to kick out at the last moment and Kayla was sure that would have sealed the win. Both women are staring at each other trying to think of what to do next. Brenda and Kayla begin to circle one another feinting the other to see if the other takes the bait. Brenda begins to get closer and begins striking Kayla with a series of Shoot kicks, and Kayla replies with a series of her own Shoot kicks. The two begin trading kicks, and soon begin trading Forearms and Chops. Kick. Kick. Chop. Forearm. Back and forth until both women are visibly exhausted and begin to lean on one another. Their eyes are dead set on another not wanting to let up and their strikes begin, but not in rapid succession instead they are powerful strikes. Brenda soon has enough and nails The Home-Run Swing onto Kayla and follows it up with a Discus Punch. Kayla is visibly dazed and Brenda quickly lifts Kayla onto her shoulders and applies a Chickenwing. She nails the Babe Ruth Special and covers.
No. Kayla is able to kick out at the last moment just like Brenda was able to. That was Brenda's Grand Slam, but apparently, it was enough to put away Kayla. Brenda was sure that would finish Kayla and she is visibly angered by this. Brenda grabs Kayla by the nip of her hair and begins laying a series of Shoot kicks onto Kayla's face, but Kayla manages to break it and nails a quick European Uppercut onto Brenda dazing her for a moment as Kayla nails a Leaping Shoulder Tackle. Kayla whips Brenda into the ropes and hits a big Sitout Spinebuster. Kayla lifts Brenda up and hits a Fireman's Carry Gutbuster. Brenda is down, but Kayla has her set in her eyes. Brenda gets up, but is blinded by Kayla, who hits the Special K onto the back of Brenda. Kayla wasting no time locks in the Malibu Neck Crank, and Brenda taps out.
Winner: Kayla Winters via Submission
(Roni and Tori de Vil are spending time backstage when they see Miles Lauren, the manager for Season of Slaughter on the phone. Roni turns to Tori and they surround the older gentleman with crafty smiles on their faces.)
(Miles Larsen lowers the phone with a raised eyebrow.)
Miles Larsen: May I help you ladies?
Roni de Vil: Who ya talking to?
Miles Larsen: I don’t see how that’s any business of yours-
(Tori takes the phone and looks at it.)
Tori de Vil: KATLA? Perfect!
(Tori places the phone to her ear.)
Tori de Vil: Hey...KATLA? Whoa! Don’t have to get all aggressive! It’s me Tori...one half of the former tag champs, the same former champs you didn’t pin in that triple threat? Well, We want to make a deal with Miles here. Madam Vega says if you guys agree we can challenge for the tag belts in a two-on-two match. No Io & Celeste, just us ladies. Everyone else is so busy with this “Amazon Warfare Revenge” nonsense that you guys don’t have partners for the big dance. So...what do you say one more match for old times’ sake?
(Tori nods a few timers and hands Miles back his phone.)
Tori de Vil: She wants to talk to you.
(Miles takes the phone and listens for a few moments.)
Miles Larsen: Mmmhmm. Yeah. I got it. Will do.
(Miles hangs up and turns to Roni and Tori.)
Miles Larsen: KATLA and Wither agree to another match, on the condition that if you lose, then you can no longer challenge for the tag titles while they are champions.
(Roni casually shrugs.)
Roni de Vil: Works for us. We don’t plan on losing.
Miles Larsen: You should be careful about what you wish for.
Tori de Vil: Our wishes will be just fine. We just want one more shot at getting those belts back.
(Miles nods several times and walks away. The De Vil Sisters look at each other and back in the direction Miles left.)
(Maria Cuesta is seen backstage with Lethal Angel Champion Roxy, who has her title over her shoulder.)
Maria Cuesta: I’m here with the Lethal Angel Champion herself, Roxy! Now for the second season in a row, you’re main eventing Lethal Hearts. This time you’ll be going up against the previous LAW Champion and former Sweet Winters teammate, Kayla Winters. As someone who’s held the title for over 450 days, how are you feeling about your chances?
Roxy: Here’s the thing, Maria. When I first came to LAW, it was to make a name for myself without help from my esteemed mother, Claudia Michaels. I didn’t want to rely on my family’s name, but I was hungry for success. Kayla and I did what we had to do to get things done as the Lethal Tag-team Champions, and then I made the move I did to take the title off of her and keep it away from Roni de Vil. But as we entered the new season and I found myself facing off against some of the toughest women you’ll ever meet like Eris and Amber Payne. The fact that I won against them made me believe in myself in a way I never had before. Back in OWA, I had the advantage of the Dollhouse on my side. But since being on my own, I managed to hold a world title longer than even my mother had. So the goal now is to beat Kayla and whoever else stands between me and Lethal Hearts 4. I’m the longest reigning Lethal Angel Champion of the modern era and second-longest champ of all time. You know what the longest reign is? Robin Roberts at 502 days. I will be on my 497th day as LAW Champion when I face Kayla. I’m just one step from being the longest-reigning Lethal Angel Champion of ANY era. All that’s left is to beat the most decorated wrestler on our roster. Former Lethal Angel Champion, IJWF World Champion, and Lethal Tag Team Champion, all titles held for hundreds of days. Not to mention the first Amazon Warfare winner. I need to beat Kayla, Maria. If I can’t then all of this was for nothing. To go for so long and not beat the record? It would be a travesty. So I suggest that Kayla trains every day from tonight to our match because I’ll be studying every trick in the book. I’ll do everything to make sure I walk out as the most dominant champ of any era.
(Roxy smiles and walks away as Maria looks on.)

Misha gets back to her feet and Jasmine uses her momentum against her utilizing a feint arm drag, followed by a knee strike to the opponent's midsection. Jasmine attempts to lock in an armbar, but Misha rolls out of the ring. Eris grabs Jasmine for another chokeslam! Misha slides back in and starts going blow for blow with Eris. Misha throws Eris down with a snapmare followed by a soccer kick to the spine. She turns around and catches Jasmine with a Half Hatch Suplex! Before she can follow up with anything else, Eris grabs her from behind, locking in The Sandman's Call (Sleeper Hold). Eris falls to the mat with Jasmine held tightly in her arms. Peyton struggles greatly, clawing at Eris's arms and flailing her legs, but Eris tightens the hold further until Jasmine is forced to tap!
Eliminated: Jasmine Peyton
Misha is quick to attack the moment that Jasmine taps and starts throwing down elbows to the head of Eris who rolls out of the way, but Misha grabs her and delivers a nasty Snap Half-Nelson Suplex! Misha waits for Eris to get to her feet and locks in a hammerlock. She tries to hit Mirror’s Edge (into a Single-Arm DDT) but Eris is able to slip out and lift Misha into a fireman’s carry position! Misha slips down and hits Kill Me Baby (High-impact short-range forearm)! She motions for Eris to get to her feet, then she hits the ropes and brings the big woman down with Crisis Trigger (King Kong Lariat)! Misha falls upon Eris for the pinfall victory! Misha LeCavalier will be facing Jessica Hendrix for the Lethal American Championship at Lethal Hearts 3.
Winner: Misha LeCavalier via pinfall
