IJWF Collision Course III Night 3 Results.

(The camera opens to the exterior of The Forum in Inglewood, CA.)


V.O.: Welcome to Night 3 of Collision Course...III!!

(The switches to the interior where we see JET commentators Mari Fujioka and Asuka Kuramochi sitting at the commentary table.)

Mari Fujioka: Welcome to Night 3 of Collision Course! I’m here with my partner Asuka Kuramochi and we have a show for you! Three LAW title matches, a Four Corners Tag Team Match for the IJWF Tag Team Championship, a battle for the RISE Grand Prix Contract, and of course, the Queen of the World Finals! But first, we will see SAIKO defend her JET National Championship in a TLC Match against Mizuki Nakata!


Asuka Kuramochi: What a way to start off the night! This is going to be nightmare fuel for The Forum and may set the tone for the rest of the night!

(Camera cuts to ringside where Naomi Serizawa is ready to go. The JET National Championship hangs high above the ring.)

Naomi Serizawa: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS YOUR OPENING AND IT IS A TABLES!!! LADDERS!!! AND CHAIRS MATCH!!! FOR THE JET NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!


(“Rage of Dust” by Spyair plays to a loud ovation from the fans. Mizuki makes her way out from the back wearing her trademark black and gold attire. The Ace gets the hyped by telling them to cheer louder.)

Naomi Serizawa: INTRODUCING FIRST! THE CHALLENGER! FROM SERA, HIROSHIMA, JAPAN!! SHE IS THE ACE OF JET!!! NNNAAAAAAAAKKKKKKAAAATTTTAAA MIIIIZZZUUUUKKIIII!!!

Asuka Kuramochi: In modern JET, every rivalry has something it’s trying to be. Momoko vs. IZM was about two young stars looking to break out and prove that they are the future. JUNKO vs. KAGUYA was revenge in its purest form. But this rivalry is pure violence and obsession. Mizuki’s past as a deathmatch wrestler is well documented but she sees that as her past, she has gone from that to becoming JET’s Ace and one of the best in the world regardless of company, gender, and race. But right now there’s still one person who wants to bring our Mizuki’s past.


(Mizuki enters the ring and soon the music changes to “Pa Pa Ya” by BABYMETAL, the reaction of the crowd turning sour instantly with the rival of the JET National Champion makes her way to loud boos. Her title of course not around her waist as she makes her way to the ring wearing all-black attire.)

Maki Fujioka: And if there’s one woman who is obsessed with Mizuki’s past as a deathmatch wrestler, it’s that woman, the JET National Champion. Her willingness and desire to have the most brutal, hardcore bouts against Mizuki has brought us to this. It was SAIKO who picked the stipulation, she wanted to take their hardcore rivalry to the next level and the only way she sees it happening is with this TLC match.

(SAIKO enters the ring as there’s a sinister smile on her compared to Mizuki’s stoic look. Both are being kept away from one another by referee Yuri Watanabe who soon signals for the bell to be rung.)

(DING DING DING!!)

Maki Fujioka: And here we go, the match is starting and the brawl has begun! Last night both were pulled away from one another during the JET World Title match but tonight they can cut loose and just be absolutely dangerous, they’ve been given a wide variety of tables, ladders, and chairs to use on another. Both women throwing forearms at one another and it seems that Mizuki is winning. The brawling has fallen to the outside as both women are going to take their fight there. These two enjoy hardcore matches, both enjoy using weapons on their opponent.

Asuka Kuramochi: We’ll definitely have to keep track of how many weapons are used in this match. Mizuki gets some between her as she Irish-whips SAIKO away from her and into the steel barricade. Mizuki now looks under the ring and finds the first weapon of the match, she pulls out a chair from under the ring but first, it seems she seems interested in bringing out a few more weapons and gets out a **TABLE!** The crowd here just exploded into cheers as a table is being brought in early into the match. Mizuki has some wild ideas as she slides the table into the ring. Her attention seems to return to SAIKO as she gets the chair she had in pulled out early and makes her way over to SAIKO.

Maki Fujioka: Mizuki seems to be interested in swinging but SAIKO blocks it and grabs the chair! She… she just passed the chair back to Mizuki? That’s why as she just kicked the chair right into Mizuki’s face with a dropkick! Mizuki drops the chair and SAIKO is the one who picks the up and immediately hits the downed Mizuki with it! A brutal shot by the Champion and she doesn’t seem to be finished, a second chair shot from SAIKO onto the downed Nakata! SAIKO seems to be relentless as she hits her foe with a few more chair shots.

Asuka Kuramochi: SAIKO seems to be finally finished with the chair as it’s now her turn to look under the ring and find what she wants. Well, the National Champion pulls out a few chairs now to use later in the match as she tosses them into the ring. SAIKO seems more interested in setting up things now rather than maybe getting a quick win, don’t you think so?

Maki Fujioka: Asuka, she might have a few screw loose, SAIKO understands that Mizuki won’t go down easily. There’s a reason why she has been at the top of JET for a long time and it’s been an incredible resiliency. SAIKO setting up a table right next to the barricade as she sees Mizuki getting up and proceeds to stomp down on her rib cage. And now the champion grabbing one of the many ladders set up around the ring and slides it into the ring. Again it seems like SAIKO doesn’t want to go for the win early. She goes and gladly gets her rival back in the ring. Mizuki is up to her feet and she throws a punch at SAIKO who ducks and nails her rival with an elbow right to the ribs. A second elbow to the ribs by SAIKO as she Irish-whips her to the ropes. Mizuki off the ropes with a jumping shoulder block but SAIKO is able to counter with a kick right to the ribs of Mizuki just as The Ace jumped up.

Asuka Kuramochi: You can clearly see the pain Mizuki is in as she holding her ribs. SAIKO grabs a nearby chair and immediately drives right into Mizuki’s ribs. You can see Mizuki holding her ribs in pain, Another shot from SAIKO as she soon **PUSHES THE LEGS OF THE CHAIR DOWN ON THE HURT RIBS!** That looks brutal and must feel so painful for Mizuki meanwhile look at SAIKO, she is enjoying this a bit too much and soon stops. Mizuki is coughing in pain while the National Champion grabs the ladder that she brought in earlier. SAIKO setting it up against one of the corners. Meanwhile, Mizuki has crawled her way over to the opposite corner and gotten herself up to her feet. The Mob Psycho now grabs Mizuki’s arm and goes in for the Irish-whip… **MIZUKI IS ABLE TO STOP HERSELF JUST IN TIME!**

Mizuki turns around and **SAIKO IS RUSHING IN WITH A RUNNING TIJERAS---NO! THE STRENGTH OF MIZUKI AS SHE IS ABLE TO STOP SAIKO AND LIFT HER INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION AND SENDS SAIKO BACK FIRST INTO THE LADDER!**

Maki Fujioka: The ladder didn’t break but SAIKO is holding her back in pain! The champion rolls out to the outside near the entranceway as Mizuki now is taking this time to catch her breath but she isn’t setting up the ladder to climb it. She’s waiting for SAIKO to get back up, I don’t like the idea that Mizuki has right now… it might be a bit too dangerous right now. If she just sets up the ladder, she might be able to capture the title. If I’m thinking what Mizuki wants to go for, this might just be a dangerous idea from The Ace SAIKO is finally getting up to her feet, holding her back in pain as Mizuki rushes the ropes **AND NAILS A SUICIDE DIVE TO THE OUTSIDE! JUST FLYING THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE**

Mizuki isn’t a high-flyer, so to see her pull out a Suicide Dive is quite impressive. Normally she likes to stay grounded unless the match calls for it. Mizuki gets right back up and gets the crowd fired up, she seems to be looking under the ring for a weapon and finds another table. SAIKO introduced a table earlier in the match and now it’s Mizuki’s turn to get one out.

Asuka Kuramochi: She sets it up and gets her rival up, Mizuki now gets herself and SAIKO on the apron. Mizuki is thinking about something dangerous and I don’t like it, this isn’t a good idea. The Ace now has SAIKO up on her shoulder, I think she wants to hit a Laniakea off the apron through a table… this might be dangerous and could backfire. SAIKO seems to have gotten some life as she’s fighting with back elbows to the side of The Ace’s head. The Mob Psycho is able to escape and she’s now on the apron, in front of Mizuki. A forearm from the challenger and the National Champion responds with an elbow of her own. SAIKO with a big boot and that sends Mizuki staggering back. Mizuki charges in….

**OH MY GOD!!! SAIKO WITH A HURRICANRANA COUNTER! MIZUKI IS SENT OFF THE APRON THROUGH THE TABLE ON THE OUTSIDE!!!**

*(Replay of Mizuki going through a table off the apron, all thanks to SAIKO’s hurricanrana counter.)*

Maki Fujioka: Oh my goodness Mizuki went through that table and she isn’t moving at all at the moment. SAIKO has taken a seat on the apron and laughs a bit at the misfortune’s of her rival, this TLC match has just kicked into a new gear as the National reenters the ring and sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring, the National Champion isn’t moving up fast enough. Maybe still dealing with some pain from the moves she took earlier. She is up to the fourth and take a look at Mizuki! She’s showing some life! The Ace slides back into the ring and nails SAIKO with a forearm to the back. Mizuki is able to pull SAIKO down and they begin to trade forearms.

Asuka Kuramochi: I’m surprised that Mizuki is still fighting after going through the table and landing on the floor but The Ace is still fighting, just because she fights to protect JET from every threat, Mizuki goes for a punch but SAIKO ducks and immediately goes to pick up the same chair she used earlier. **SAIKO SWINGS RIGHT INTO THE SKULL OF MIZUKI!!**

**BUT THE ACE IS STILL STANDING! SHE IS STANDING DESPITE BEING HIT WITH A CHAIR!! SAIKO GOES FOR A SECOND SHOT AND NAILS MIZUKI RIGHT IN THE HEAD!**

The Ace is down, Mizuki took two chair shots from SAIKO to go down as the National Champion is looking at the top turnbuckle and leaves the ring to climb up. She still has the chair in her hand, I don’t like where this is going! Mizuki is still down and SAIKO is now up to the top rope…. **SHE LEAPS FOR A LUCIOLA SPLASH!!! THE HIGH ANGLE FROG SPLASH AS SAIKO DRIVES THE CHAIR RIGHT INTO MIZUKI WHILE LANDING ON HER!**

(Replays of the Frog Splash are shown. The chair completely crushing Mizuki’s chest on impact.)

Maki Fujioka: The pain both are right now must be unmatched but the National Champion was willing to hurt herself to hurt her rival. Speaking of which, take a look at Mizuki, she is coughing hard as her chest was crushed by both SAIKO and the chair. She looks absolutely destroyed as SAIKO also in pain but she is able to get herself up. SAIKO is up to her feet and almost what seems to be limping her way towards the ladder. Her steps up the ladder are slow and while Mizuki seems to be crawling for the other side of the louder and using the ladder rungs to help herself up to her feet. The Ace is pushing herself up to her feet, her gaze is now looking up and seeing SAIKO making her way up.

Asuka Kuramochi: Mizuki doesn’t seem to be interested in losing the match as she climbs up the ladder. Nakata reaches the top of the ladder and SAIKO throws a forearm. Both women are fighting on the top of the ladder… I don’t like where this is going. Mizuki a forearm as well, SAIKO is going for another forearm, and the blow almost has Mizuki tumble down but she’s hanging on. She is holding onto the top rung and saves herself from what could be a huge fall. Mizuki with a forearm and now look at The Ace as she grabs that brand new championship belt and smashes it onto SAIKO’s face!!

Maki Fujioka: SAIKO is stunned as Mizuki looking to pull down the title! SAIKO GETS A HOLD OF MIZUKI’S HAND… **THE NATIONAL CHAMPION IS BITING THE HAND OF HER RIVAL!** SAIKO IS NUTS!! SHE JUST TOOK A BITE AT MIZUKI FINGERS AND NOW SHE GRABS HER CHAMPIONSHIP AND SMASHES INTO THE FACE OF THE CHALLENGER! A bit of payback from SAIKO for the shot earlier but SAIKO is insane, she was willing to bite down on the fingers of her rival. And now this insane woman, SAIKO is going for something... **OH MY GOD! SHE MIGHT BE THINKING OF GOING FOR A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER!**

Asuka Kuramochi: The willingness to do something insane especially to her rival, Mizuki. This match was the idea of SAIKO, she wanted to take her rival with Mizuki to the next level and this proves it. SAIKO now gets herself over Mizuki but look at The Ace! Mizuki has a hold of SAIKO’s legs and has a hold of her… **NO MIZUKI!! YOU’RE INSANE! PLEASE DON’T DO IT!!**


**OH MY GOD!!!! MIZUKI WITH AN AIR RAID CRASH FROM THE LADDER!!! YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!**

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

(Replay of the Air Raid Crash from the top of the ladder. Along with that was the ladder tumbling down next to them.)

Maki Fujioka: That might have just been the most dangerous Air Raid Crash EVER! Mizuki has taken out not only rival but herself as well! The video package showed SAIKO desire to take this rivalry to the most dangerous and violent lengths possible, I hope that the National Champion got her wish fulfilled because nothing might top that. Both women are completely out of it, the referee is checking up on both women and it seems like neither is knocked out cold but are still in this match but no movement whatsoever. The JET National Championship is still up for grabs, this incredible opening contest for Night 3 is still going. You have to believe that neither woman has much left in the tank right now.

Asuka Kuramochi: I want to say that but yet they could still look to keep going. Whoever gets up first might be the one who has the better chance of winning, along with both of them, the ladder also tumbled down, so they’ll need to put the ladder back up. Both competitors are getting back, so I guess me saying that the person who gets up first has the better chance of winning won’t be true. SAIKO and Mizuki are both up to their knees and immediately Mizuki fires a forearm shot and SAIKO replies with one of her own. SAIKO with a second elbow and Mizuki with her own elbow. The crowd is booing at every shot thrown by SAIKO and cheering for every elbow thrown by The Ace. With each forearm, both of them are rising up to their feet! The brawl has begun again the crowd is exploding into cheers!!

Maki Fujioka: The booing is getting louder as SAIKO throws a series of unanswered forearms! She goes for one more... Mizuki grabs SAIKO by her wrist! The Ace gets SAIKO up to her feet for a Laniakea but SAIKO is fighting, the National Champion with elbows! She is putting everything she has into these shots but SAIKO can’t seem to escape Mizuki’s grasp! **MIZUKI WITH A LAAAAANNNNIIIIAAAAKEEEEAAAAA!!**

**NO! SAIKO IS ABLE TO FLIP HERSELF AND LAND ON HER FEET!!** Champion and challenger face to face as SAIKO pulls her arm back for a Shotei AND IT CONNECTS! SAIKO GOING FOR A SECOND SHOTEI BUT MIZUKI BLOCKS IT! SHE GRABS BOTH OF SAIKO’S HANDS!

**THUD**

**A HEADBUTT FROM MIZUKI! A LOUD THUD AS THE SKULL OF BOTH WOMEN COLLIDE!**

Asuka Kuramochi: Mizuki is willing to give herself a concussion if it means she gets to beat her opponent tonight! SAIKO has collapsed down to her knees but Mizuki isn’t finished with her! She gets SAIKO up onto her shoulder as Mizuki is able to carry her opponent towards the fallen ladder… **MIZUKI WITH A LAAAAANNNNNIIIIIIAAAAAKWEEEEEAAAAAAA!!!** SAIKO crashes back first onto the ladder and Mizuki has fallen down to one knee, the headbutt must have taken its toll on her as she seems dazed right now. SAIKO on the other hand might be legitimately out cold. She hasn’t moved a muscle since the headbutt and to add on a Laniakea, this has to be it.

Maki Fujioka: You might be right as Mizuki rolls SAIKO off the ladder and sets it back up. There’s still nothing from SAIKO, Mizuki is sluggish as she is taking each and every step slowly. This has been a war, a battle unlike any other from both rivals. This rivalry has reached new heights of danger and violence, I believe this chapter of Mizuki vs. SAIKO will be coming to a close as Mizuki is reaching out for the National Championship…

**Q?! Jessica Rose?! Julia Zhang!? DESPERADOS ARE HERE TO RUIN MIZUKI’S CHANCE OF WINNING THE TITLE! They’re going to cost Mizuki just like how they screwed Ai Moe!**

Asuka Kuramochi: Mizuki just to reach, she just needs to reach….**OH MY GOD!!**

**DESPERADOS JUST PUSHED THE LADDER MIZUKI SENT FLYING OFF THE LADDER TO THE OUTSIDE!!! MIZUKI JUST WENT THE TABLE SET ON THE OUTSIDE!** DESPERADOS HAVE RUINED ANOTHER WIN FOR THE JET ARMY TO TAKE BACK A CHAMPIONSHIP FROM THEM! SAIKO is being helped up now, she is barely conscious right now as Q and Zhang are helping her up the ladder. Mizuki hasn’t moved a muscle since her fall to the outside as SAIKO up on the final rung and grabbing the National Championship… **SHE’S GOT IT! WITH THE HELP OF DESPERADOS, SAIKO RETAINS!!**

**(DING DING DING!!)**

(“Pa Pa Ya” by BABYMETAL plays once again as the crowd boos. SAIKO is helped down by her faction members who keep her standing by being her support.)

Naomi Serizawa: YOUR WINNER AND SSSSSSTTTTTIIIIILLLLLL JET NATIONAL CHAMPION!!! SSSSSSAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIKKKOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Maki Fujioka: The carnage has finally ended and unfortunately the JET National Championship is still possession of SAIKO and DESPERADOS! Everyone in this building saw Mizuki so close to victory, she was nearly there, just fingertips away from winning the title but it was ruined thanks to DESPERADOS intervening!

Asuka Kuramochi: Unfortunately it’s true. The Ace fought through the pain, she was put through tables, had a chair used on her and so much more but right now, the National Championship belongs to DESPERADOS

(A group of medical personnel arrives to check on Mizuki who is being helped up to her feet. SAIKO is looking at her rival while she raises her championship high in the air.)

(Camera cuts back to the ring where London Morris is back and ready to go for another LAW match.)

London Morris: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR THE LETHAL SPECIALIST CHAMPIONSHIP!!


(“The Kill” by Halocene plays as Taylor Samuels is the first to make her way out from the back.)

London Morris: INTRODUCING FIRST, THE CHALLENGERS! FIRST! FROM LONDON, ENGLAND!!! REPRESENTING SPA!!! TAAAAYLOOORRRR SAAAAAMUEEELLLLSSS!!!

Monica: We’ve got one more LAW match for all of you! A triple threat match for the Lethal Specialist Championship. First, of course, is one of the challengers! Smile Protection Agency’s Taylor Samuels. Both members of SPA were given the opportunity, so will there be some bad blood between the tag partners?


(Taylor enters the ring as the music changes to “Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars as the loud ovations continue with the arrival of Jessi Smiles who makes her way to the ring happy like always.)

London Morris: And her opponent! FROM DALLAS, TEXAS!!! REPRESENTING SPA!!! JESSI SMIIIIILLLLLEEEESS!!!!

Kat Ricci: The second half of SPA and the second challenger in this triple threat match, Jessi Smiles is all smiling right now but she needs to focus on the task ahead. The Lethal Specialist Championship is a huge deal and she needs to go into this match seriously. Especially since she has to face her tag partner and the champ herself.


(The music changes for a third time as “King for a Day” by Pierce The Veil and the crowd explode into cheers for the champ who makes her way out wearing a white and black attire. St. Clair arrives and has her championship around her shoulder.)

London Morris: AND THEIR OPPONENT!!! FROM WOLVERHAMPTON, WEST MIDLANDS, ENGLAND!! SHE IS THE LETHAL SPECIALIST CHAMPION AND THE WEAPONS-GRADE PAWG!!! SSYYYYYDDDDNNNNEEEEEEYYYYY ST. CLLLLLAAAAAAAAIIIIIRRRRRRRR!!!

Monica Vaughan: AND HERE WE GO! The Lethal Specialist Champion is here and looking great as always! St. Clair has been on a roll since returning to LAW, won back her championship, and her defense against Kylie had everyone talking about the wildness of their match. Sydney St. Clair now has the task of two opponents but considering she won her title in a match that way more opponents than this match, I like Sydney’s chances.

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Kat Ricci: This triple dance for the Lethal Specialist Championship match begins, and instantly both Jessi and Taylor gang up on Sydney with a series of Forearms. Sydney manages to take the hits and lands Clothesline on Jessi and a Superkick on Taylor! Sydney looks at the stunned Jessi and quickly hits a Snap DDT on her! Sydney turns her attention to Taylor and hits her with the Aerial Ace! The Springboard Cutter connects and Sydney seems to be a one-woman wrecking crew!

Monica Vaughan: Kat, she has to be a one-woman wrecking crew since Taylor and Jessi are tag partners. Sydney is focusing her attention on Taylor now as she locks in an STF. Taylor is trying for the ropes, but Sydney has the move locked in tight...wait! Running Knee Strike! Jessi from nowhere landed a Running Knee Strike across the face of Sydney! Jessi lifts Sydney up and hits a Russian Legsweep and follows that with a Crossface! Taylor locks in a Single Leg Boston Crab! SPA has tagged up on Sydney! This has to be it, Kat. Sydney is in a bad position here and I don't see how she could get out it

Kat Ricci: That is true, Monica, but you never know as she could something out of her head. Sydney is close to the ropes and if she just gets a finger or toe on it they would have to break the hold. Sydney does it...Sydney got her pinky on the ropes! SPA keeps the holds locked in a bit longer until they are forced to break them. Sydney rolls out of the ring as Jessi tries to follow, but Taylor hits a Sliding German Suplex and follows it with a Slingshot Leg Drop into the ring. It seems like now the truce that Jessi and Taylor had is now over. Taylor lifts Jessi up and goes for a powerbomb, but Jessi counters it with a Sitout Facebuster! Smile to the End! Jessi now has the STF locked in on Taylor!

Monica Vaughan: Wait...Sydney hits a Springboard Senton and that is followed by a Standing Moonsault! Sydney was seemingly out of the match, but she came back in from nowhere. Jessi is out, but Taylor is up and gets nailed with a Slingblade from Sydney! Sydney goes to finish Taylor, but Jessi blinds her with a High Knee to the back of the head. Jessi follows it with an STO Backbreaker into a Reverse STO into a Koji Clutch combo!

Kat Ricci: Jessi has the clutch locked in tight as Sydney is struggling to the ropes once again. Leg Drop! Taylor hits a Running Leg Drop on Jessi causing her to break the hold! Taylor lifts Sydney up...Powerbomb! Taylor follows it with the Confidence Breaker! The Over-the-Shoulder Back-to-Belly Piledriver connects!

Monica Vaughan: Diving Splash! Jessi gave Taylor no time to pin. Taylor looks at Jessi and goes for a Clothesline, but Jessi nails the DIWS! The Superkick connects, but Jessi has no time to react Sydney hits a superkick of her own to Jessi. Sydney follows it with a Koppu Kick! Magic Satchel! Magic Satchel! The Ripcord Double Knee backbreaker connects! Sydney lifts Jessi up.

Monica & Kat: Automatic Midnight! The Pumphandle Cut-Throat driver connects!

Jesse Colton: One! Two!

Monica Vaughan: No! Taylor denies the victory to Sydney as she gets a single hand choke on Sydney! Taylor lifts her up and hits a Chokeslam! Taylor looks at her tag partner and goes for the Confidence Breaker, but Jessi transitions it into an Inverted Frankensteiner. It seems like neither woman is willing to stay down at this point, Kat. Wait what is Jessi doing!?
Kat Ricci: Jessi has tied Taylor up in the Paradise Lock. Taylor seems to be struggling as Jessi heads to the top rope...Double Foot Stomp to the back of Taylor! Jessi didn't pay attention as Sydney launches from the top rope as well and nails a Missile Front dropkick on Jessi! Sydney gets back on her feet and sees Taylor is leaning against the corner...Hypernova! The Croner Shining Wizard connected and Taylor is out! Sydney follows it up with the Radiant Star Implosion!

Jesse Colton: One! Two!

Monica & Kat: No! Jessi breaks the pin!

Monica Vaughan: As I said before Kat, it seems like neither woman is willing to give the other an inch. Jessi hits the DIWS and follows it with the Smile File! No time to cover as Taylor hits Release German on Jessi! Taylor turns her attention to Sydney and hits the End It All! the Running Stunner connects and Taylor follows it up again with the Confidence Breaker! Taylor goes to cover, but Jessi hits the DIWS to Taylor!

Kat Ricci: Jessi goes to cover Taylor but...no Sydney nails Jessi with a Low Dropkick before Jessi can get a count! Sydney seems to be wanting to finish this match as she lifts Jessi up and hits the Automatic Midnight! Sydney rolls Jessi out as her focus is on Taylor now. Taylor gets up, but Sydney hits a Koppu Kick sending her into the corner! Sydney follows it with the Hypernova! Taylor is down and Sydney moves her into position...Radiant Star Implosion! It connects and this has to be it!

Jenny Carson: One! Two! Three!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

(“King For A Day” plays one more time as Sydney takes a sigh of relief while getting back to her feet. She is handed her championship by the referee.)

London Morris: YOUR WINNER AND STILL LETHAL SPECIALIST CHAMPION!!! SSSYYYYYDDDDNNNEEEEEEEYYYY SAINT CLAAAAAAAIIIIIIRRR!!!

Monica Vaughan: Well we said that Sydney knows how to overcome the odds and she proved it as she was able to defeat not one but two opponents tonight! The sky is the limit for this title reign and Sydney knows it quite well!

(Sydney mouths off to the camera and looking directly at it and holds up two fingers. She seems to want her third challenger soon.)

(The camera opens to Diantha Rosso preparing for her match backstage. Carlos Rosso, legendary wrestler and brother of Diantha walks up to her wearing a suave white suit with his hands in his pockets.)

Carlos Rosso: If your eyes were a blade, they’d cut steel right now, girl.

Diantha Rosso: Well this is a big night for me, dear brother.

Carlos Rosso: I know, I know. You’ve had a few of those lately. I just wanted to say I’ll be out there, supporting you. I know we haven’t always seen eye-to-eye, but Rossos have to stick together.

Diantha Rosso: Of course. It’s what I always wanted.

(Carlos smiles and nods his head as he walks away.)

Carlos Rosso: See you out there, kiddo.

(a smile appears on Diantha’s face as she continues to prepare for her match.)



(Camera cuts to ringside where London Morris is ready to go for the next match of the evening. “Masterpiece” by Big Thief plays as Liz Karlson makes her way down to the ring to a positive reaction.)


London Morris: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the LETHAL AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP!!! INTRODUCING FIRST, THE CHALLENGER! FROM PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA!!! LIIIIZZZZ KARRRLLLLSSSSOOOOOOONNNNN!!!

Monica Vaughan: The challenger picked out by the champion. A huge opportunity for Liz to walk out with a championship. We saw fellow Graham Baker trainee, HULK did really well for herself in the QOTW as a semi-finalist. Now it’s time to see if Liz can add some gold to her already solid resume.


(Liz enters the ring and the music changes to “Neon” by Jeff Williams as the crowd cheer loudly for the champ who makes her way down to the ring her championship around her waist.)

London Morris: AND HER OPPONENT! FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS! SHE IS THE LETHAL AMERICAN CHAMPION!!! JESSSSIIIIICCCAAAAAAA!!! HENDRIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXX!!!

Kat Ricci: And there she is! One of LAW’s biggest stars, Jessica Hendrix has been a huge success story and now we can see if she can continue her insane momentum with another title defense.

(Jessica enters the ring and poses for the finals before handing the title to referee Jesse Colton who raises it in the air before handing it to London and signaling for the bell to be rung.)

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Kat Ricci: We’re on our way now, and it looks like Liz is starting things off as she charges towards Jessica with a series of Elbow Smashes; she doesn’t look like she is gonna let up, but she is forced to stop the barrage as Jessica is against the ropes and Jesse calls for the break. Jessica soon answers back with her own barrage of Forearm Smashes and forces Liz onto the ropes as Jesse calls for the break. Both women lock up before Jessica applies a Side Headlock and then hits a Running Bulldog. She’s in full control until Liz gets back up and hits a Snapmare on Jessica followed by a Neck Snap and Basement Dropkick. Now, on the ground, Liz gets a running start and nails a Pointed Elbow Drop onto the head of Jessica! Liz gets an Inverted Headlock on Jessica as she lifts her up...Inverted DDT! She goes for the cover!

Jesse Colton: One!

Monica Vaughan: No! Jessica manages to kick out at just one. Both women on back on their feet, but Jessica quickly applies a Wrist-Lock on Liz, and Irish Whips her into the ropes as Jessica hits a Pendulum Backbreaker on Liz. Jessica lifts Liz back up and hits a Neckbreaker onto her. Jessica goes to the top rope and nails a Moonsault onto Liz! Jessica lifts Liz up and goes for a Superkick, but Liz catches the leg and hits a Dragon Whip! Liz lifts Jessica and goes for the Apple Tree, but Jessica catches Liz's leg and replies back with a Dragon Whip of her own! Jessica runs to the ropes and nails the Neon Lights on Liz! The Jumping Leg Drop Bulldog connected and Jessica covers!

Jesse Colton: One!

Kat Ricci: No! Jessica is on her feet first and Liz is quick to get up as well, but not quick enough as Jessica is behind her and applies and Waistlock...she nails a Release German Suplex! She isn't done yet as she quickly heads the corner and climbs up onto the top rope looking to fly now! She turns around and...nails a Moonsault onto Liz! She doesn't go for the cover instead she lifts up the dazed Brina on her feet and...beams her with a Superkick! She covers!

Jesse Colton: One! Two!

Monica Vaughan: No! Somehow Liz manages to kick out before three. Jessica is visibly angry by this as she begins hitting the mat, but Liz takes this opportunity to return Jessica's favor by hitting her with a Running Knee Strike to the side of Jessica's face! Jessica is laid out as Liz lifts her up in a Front Chancery and begins laying into her with a series of knee strikes! Apple Tree! Liz hit one last knee strike and follows it with a Spike Brainbuster!

Kat Ricci: Liz is in the corner, now, and begins taunting Jessica! Jessica is kneeling and Liz runs and goes the 3xF!

Kat Ricci & Monica Vaughan: No! Jessica catches the leg and lifts Liz up in a Electric Chair Position! Sitout Wheelbarrow Electric Chair Facebuster!

Monica Vaughan: How Jessica managed that is anyone's guess?! I know, one thing Kat. Both of these women are giving their all and neither is giving up. Jessica applies a Waistlock...German Suplex! Jessica maintains the hold and lands another German Suplex! Jessica maintains the hold and hits a Release German Suplex sending Liz into the corner and she hits the second turnbuckle! Liz is down, but Jessica lifts her up and leans her against the corner. Jessica hits a Jumping Superkick into the corner! Liz stumbles from the corner and Jessica gets on the top rope and...Inverted Tornado DDT!

Kat Ricci: Jessica is truly showing out tonight in this match as showing not only Liz, but anyone willing to go after her belt they will have to fight for it. Jessica lifts Liz up and hits a Superkick again on her bring her down to one knee! Jessica is on the middle rope now and watching Liz closely...Neon Lights! She hits the move again and covers!

Jesse Colton: One! Two! Three!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

(“Neon” plays again as the crowd cheer for Jessica who gets her arm raised by the official and has a title handed to her.)

London Morris: YOUR WINNER AND STILL LETHAL AMERICAN CHAMPION!!! JEEEESSSSSIIIIICCCCAAAAAA!!! HEEEENNNNDRIIIIIXXXX!!!

Monica Vaughan: Jessica retains in a great fast-paced bout! Liz put up a fight but Jessica has been one of the best in LAW right now and showed off why.

(Jessica Hendrix raises her title in the air as Liz is being helped to the back. The camera cuts to footage elsewhere.)

(A black screen appears with blue and white 90s-style grunge/punk lettering forming words like “Iconic”, “Legend”, and “Immortal” as a voice over from Deftones’ Chino Moreno is heard.)

Chino Moreno: Some stories don’t simply end. Sometimes they move on to inspire new tales. Who will your story inspire? Lethal Hearts. Staples Center. See you soon.



(Camera cuts back to ringside where Naomi Serizawa is ready to go.)

Naomi Serizawa: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!! AND IT IS FOR THE RISE GRAND PRIX TITLE MATCH CONTRACT!!!


(“Lydia” by Highly Suspect plays as the legend herself Nina Sanada makes her way out from the back. Nina receives a loud ovation from the fans as she’s wearing her trademark all blue attire and white entrance jacket.)

Naomi Serizawa: INTRODUCING FIRST! THE CHALLENGER! REPRESENTING LETHAL ANGELS OF WRESTLING! FROM MEXICO CITY, MEXICO!! SHE IS THE MONARCH!!! NNNNIIIIIINNNNNAAAA SANADAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Maki Fujioka: It’s always a pleasure to call a Nina Sanada match and when she was announced as Midori’s last contract defense opponent, part of me was extremely excited for a match that has never been seen before. Nina is in a weird state of her career, a lot of people have pointed out Nina’s declining abilities but I’m still one to believe that Nina is still the greatest female wrestler to have graced a JET ring.

Asuka Kuramochi: She really is! She definitely has a tough challenge on her hands, Midori hasn’t slowed down one bit since winning RISE GP and I don’t know if Nina is the one to halt Midori’s momentum but we will see. We can’t count out a legend like Nina.


(Nina enters the ring as soon “Lydia” dies down, no sound from the PA until the opening guitar for “Ashes” by Lynch plays and the crowd explodes to what might be the biggest pop of the whole three-day event. Midori Miyamoto decked in her classic pink gear and a white leather jacket makes her way out holding her RISE GP Briefcase. The normally stoic Midori stands at the stage and gets the crowd to cheer even louder, getting them pumped up.)

Naomi Serizawa: AND HER OPPONENT! SHE IS THE HOLDER OF THE RISE GRAND PRIX TITLE MATCH CONTRACT!! **FROM SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES!!! SHE IS THE HYBRID DRAGON!!! MIIIIIIYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAMMMMOTTTTTTOOOO!!!! MIIIIIDDDDDOOOOOORRRRRIIIIII!!!**

Maki Fujioka: THIS BUILDING HAS JUST EXPLODED WITH CHEERS! The hometown girl is back! Born just a few hours’ drive from here in Sacremento, Midori Miyamoto is back home and the crowd loves it! They’ve been waiting for Midori to make her appearance, you know that they were just waiting for the opening notes to “Ashes” to hit and they could let loose.

Asuka Kuramochi: Definitely but Midori is here to defend the RISE Grand Prix briefcase. After the events that transpired last night with Ai Moe and JUNKO, you know that Midori’s motivation has double or maybe tripled when it comes to wanting to retain her briefcase.

(Midori enters the ring and poses by kicking the air and raising her briefcase high up in the air which gets another LOUD ovation from the fans.)


(DING DING DING!)

Asuka Kuramochi: AND HERE WE GO WITH THE SECOND JET CONTEST OF THE EVENING! We saw the incredible TLC match open tonight and now we have a one of a kind match. Arguably the great wrestler to have competed for JET facing one of the best we have right now. If Nina Sanada pulls off this upset, she could be main eventing one more Cinderella Story.

Maki Fujioka: It’s amazing to consider that we live in a world where Nina Sanada is the underdog to win this match but in front is Midori Miyamoto who has been on the top of JET’s pecking order for nearly two years. As much as I know Nina would like to win here tonight, Midori Miyamoto’s desire to win might be even greater. Speaking of the two competitors, both have begun circling the ring. Finally a lockup from both Midori and Nina, the advantage is going to neither as they’re both pushing one another back and neither is giving an inch. The crowd seems to be heavily favoring the California native. Finally, it seems like someone has the advantage as Midori is pushing the legend back against the rope. The referee is asking for a clean break from Midori and it seems we’re going to get it.

Asuka Kuramochi: WAIT! MIDORI SWINGS FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK BUT NINA IS ABLE TO DUCK JUST IN TIME! Nina slides out of the ring and just glares at Midori who has shrugs with a grin on her face. The crowd here at The Forum loved that, they’re cheering for their fellow California native. The confidence on the face of Midori, JET rarely tours outside of Japan, so this must be a great feeling for her to have a fanbase that her own. Nina slides back into the ring and immediately Midori charges in with a kick to the gut that bends over the legend, Midori now looking for an Irish whip but Nina counters with wristlock, a well placed chop to the chest by Sanada and Midori is down but immediately right back up. Nina with another chop to the chest of Midori and Midori is right back up again! Nina changes up her gameplan as she nails Midori with a vicious elbow to the jaw!

Midori Miyamoto (w.o. Mic): Is that all you got?!

Maki Fujioka: The passionate cry from Midori as she nails Nina with a stiff leg kick right to Nina Sanada! A second leg kick and a third one as well from Midori but again Nina responds with an elbow strike and back to the jaw. Nina now Irish-whips her younger opponent into the ropes, Midori rebounds off the ropes and Sanada drops down to her chest, right back up as Midori rebounds off the opposite rope. A PERFECT leapfrog from Nina but look at the ring awareness from Midori as she immediately stops, turns around, and nails a **LOUD** shoot kick right to the chest of Nina! You could hear Midori’s kick pads connecting hard with Nina’s chest from anywhere in the building as the legend goes down.

Asuka Kuramochi: That could have taken the wind out of any competitor from any promotion around the world, Midori is arguably one of the best strikers in the world and the case could be made for being the best striker in the world. Midori now gets Nina up to a seated position and NAILS her with another kick to the chest of the legend followed by a kick to the back! A cover now by Midori!

Hana Oikawa: OOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!! TWWWWWOOO

Maki Fujioka: And kick out from Nina who seems to be having some struggles breathing. Nina rolls the outside now as she needs to get away from Midori but the Hybrid Dragon seems to be on the offensive and she’s on the apron. A HUGE PK from Midori on the apron as Nina goes does. Another shot from Midori that sounded incredibly loud, Nina has barely put up any offense since the opening bell and Midori is not in the mood to lose her briefcase on her final defense. Midori now off the apron as she goes towards Nina and ready to Irish-whip her into the steel barricade but Nina reverses and Midori is the one who goes back first right into the steel! Nina is now in control as she charges with a RUNNING YAKUZA KICK TO MIDORI! A powerful shot from the former five-time JET World Champion.

Asuka Kuramochi: Midori seems a bit dazed, referee Hana Oikawa has been a bit lenient when it comes to her count as she finally begins one.

Hana Oikawa: ONE! TWO! THREE!

Asuka Kuramochi: Nina grabs Midori by her hair and immediately Hana Oikawa is telling to let of it. Sanada pulls Midori away from the barricade and lifts her up in the air… I don’t like the look of this! NINA DROPS MIDORI DOWN WITH A VERTICAL SUPLEX ONTO THE FLOOR! Midori’s whole back took that suplex, she looks in pain and Nina knows it. Sanada drags Midori back into the ring and goes for a cover.

Hana Oikawa: OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!! TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Maki Fujioka: Midori kicks out as Nina immediately gets her up and nails her with a chop! I don’t know what might have been worse for Midori, the chop she took or the impact from the chop slamming her back down to the ring mat. Midori holding her back in pain as you know that she doesn’t want to take too much damage if she retains tonight, especially since we know that the winner of this match will be facing JUNKO at Cinderella Story for the JET World Championship. Nina turning Midori around into a single leg Boston crab! The veteran is pulling back and causing Midori’s hurt back to be in even more pain. Nina right now is wrestling way more different than she once was.

Asuka Kuramochi: She’s slowed down her wrestling style quite drastically but it doesn’t mean she’s lost a step. Nina Sanada is and forever will be one of the all-time greats. She is showing that right now with this submission, targeting the back of Midori Miyamoto who is clawing and pushing herself to get to the rope. The fans are behind Midori and cheering her on! And she’s… NO! Nina pulls her back to the center of the ring, the ring awareness of Nina Sanada! The crowd here has gotten even louder for Midori, they want her to reach and grab the rope so badly!

Crowd: MIDORI!! MIDORI!!! MIDORI!!

Maki Fujioka: And look at the fight in Midori Miyamoto, she is crawling her way towards ropes! The fans are cheering for her to make it, she is pushing her way towards the rope. With all the fans wanting her to push and keep going, Midori is crawling towards it! SHE GETS THE ROPES! Nina is being told to break up the submission by Hana Oikawa but it seems Nina doesn’t want to!

Hana Oikawa: NINA! BREAK THE SUBMISSION! ONE!!! TWO!! THREE!! FOUR!!

Asuka Kuramochi: And Nina breaks the hold just before the five-count came to an end. Hana Oikawa is pulling Nina away as she wants to check on Midori if she can still keep going. Midori is pulling herself up with the help of the ropes, she’s going to keep fighting. That GP title match contract is her opportunity at redemption and she won’t let it slip! This match has been all Nina since the match went to the outside and Midori crashed into the barricade. But we’ve seen Midori compete for almost three years and she’s a fighter, all the way through. It’s why she was JET World Champion for nearly a year. She’s going to keep going and fight.

Maki Fujioka: We can see that clearly as Midori is up to her feet, both GP Winner and challenger meet in the middle of the ring. Midori with a forearm but there seems to be no power in them, Nina replies with a chop and a second one. Just like Midori’s kicks earlier in the match, the chops could probably be heard around the building. Midori is nailed with a third chop and a fourth chop is blocked by Midori. MIDORI PULLS NINA IN FOR A RESOLVER II BUT NINA IS FIGHTING WITH BACK ELBOWS TO ESCAPE THE URANAGE ATTEMPT! She is able to break out and Nina jumps up for a **Zanketsuken** but Midori pushes nails Nina away before she can nail that jumping cutter! Nina turns around right into a kick to the chest by Midori, a second kick by The Hybrid Dragon as she now Irish-whips Nina into a corner!

Asuka Kuramochi: Midori charges in but runs into the boot of Nina who goes for a kick to the head with her right leg. Midori dodges the kick and dodges a reverse roundhouse from Nina! Midori seems to have hit a new gear as she dodging every strike that Nina throwing her away! The pace is quickening as this fight has gotten back to the middle of the ring as Midori ducks a wild swing from Sanada and rushes to the same corner where Nina was earlier. Midori quickly gets onto the middle turnbuckle and **LEAPS----RIGHT INTO A ZANKETSUKEN!! NINA WITH THE JUMPING CUTTER FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!**

Hana Oikawa: OOOOONNNNNEEEEE!!! TWWWWWOOOOO!!! THRREEEEEE!!

Maki Fujioka: Midori kicks out and Nina immediately gets her foe up to her feet. She gets Midori up onto her shoulders for a Nippon Driver but Midori is still fighting. Miyamoto has the wherewithal to know what’s going on right now. She is fighting back with back elbows and such. She escapes the fireman’s career and gets behind Nina with a waist lock applied but Sanada escapes it, counter after counter from both women as Nina swings for a lariat but Midori kicks it away with a big boot!

Asuka Kuramochi: Both don’t want the other to the land any offense at the moment and doing everything in their power to stop the other! Midori is starting to come back as she nails a kick to the chest, a second kick, and a third one! Each of those powerful kicks connected and looks like she wants to go for something bigger. The Hybrid Dragon swing for a **SHATTERCRYST--NINA DUCKS JUST IN TIME!**

Maki Fujioka: Sanada could have gotten knocked out if Midori connected with that kick! And look at Nina, she immediately charges in at Midori and jumps… **ZANKETSUKEN---NO MIDORI CATCHES NINA AND PUSHES HER OFF! MIDORI RUSHES WITH A BUUUUSSSSAAAAIIIIKKKKKUUUU!!! COVER BY MIDORI!**


Hana Oikawa: OOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!

Asuka Kuramochi: Nina kicks out! Midori doesn’t seem too worried about it but she heads to a corner, I think she wants to nail another Busaiku Knee. Nina on the other hand is still feeling the effects of the knee strike to the head. The legend might be out of it, Midori’s striking prowess is second to none in this business and someone like Nina who has been wrestling for so long might be feeling the effects of it way more than other wrestlers who are far younger.

Maki Fujioka: You might be right but Nina is getting herself up, slowly but still she is pushing herself up to her feet. She’s still a bit groggy as Midori rushes for another BUSAIKU KNEE!!!

**SUPERKICK!!**

NINA WAS ABLE TO PULL THE TRIGGER QUICKER AND CONNECTS WITH THE SUPERKICK! Midori might be out cold as Nina who still seems dazed gets Midori up!

**SAAAAANNNNNAAAAAADDDDAAAA!!! DRRIVEEEERRR!!! NINA CONNECTS WITH THE SCOOP SLAM PILEDRIVER!! NINA MIGHT HAVE JUST WON THE GP CONTRACT!**

Hana Oikawa:
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Asuka Kuramochi: Midori kicked out!! She’s still in this match, she just kicked out of the same move that has won Nina so many big matches like this one, and so many championships and accolades. And yet, Midori is still in this match! The Hybrid Dragon is still going to keep fighting! Nina seems to be annoyed as she double checking if it was a three count but Hana Oikawa is telling her that Midori just before her hand slammed down for the three. Nina needs to think about what she can do to win. And seems to be waiting for Midori to get up.

Maki Fujioka: Midori looks groggy right now, I don’t know if she has much left in the tank. She’s up to her feet as Nina points to Miss Manami who is in the front row. Midori is up to her feet as Nina rushes the ropes! She’s looking for a Last Surprise! Shades of Manami…

**NO!! MIDORI DODGES THE SLINGBLDE ATTEMPT AND NAILS NINA WITH SLAP! ANOTHER SLAP!**

Midori with a barrage of slaps! She is unloading on Nina with slaps! Midori with Hyper Burning! Look at Nina, she can barely stand, she is wobbling right now. **RESOLVER II!! MIDORI JUST DROPPED NINA SANADA WITH A URANAGE!**

Hana Oikawa: OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!! TTTTHRREEEEEEEEE!!!!

Asuka Kuramochi: NO! NINA KICKED OUT! The legend is still in this, she still wants to keep going but Nina looks out of it. Sanada is forcing herself onto her feet by her own power, it’s amazing to see Nina Sanada want to keep going. Earlier we talked about Midori’s will to fight but Nina after everything is still going despite time being against. She is struggling to stay upright now and Midori rushes in…

**SHAAAATTTTTTEEEEERCRRRRYYYYYYST!!**

**THE JUMPING ROUNDHOUSE CONNECTS BUT MIDORI IS PUSHED AWAY FROM HANA OIKAWA! NINA SANADA HAS BEEN KNOCKED OUT?!**

**HANA IS CALLING FOR THE BELL!!!!**

**(DING DING DING)**

(“Ashes” by Lynch plays as the crowd is both shocked and cheering for Midori. Nina seems to be practically lifeless as Nina Sanada’s close friend, rival, and fellow LAW star Melissa Flash who was Nina’s second enters the ring to check on her. Midori seems more focused on Nina as she checks up on her downed foe.)

Naomi Serizawa: YOUR WINNER BY KNOCKOUT AND STILL HOLDER OF THE RISE GRAND PRIX TITLE MATCH CONTRACT!
**MMMMMIIIIYAAAAAAAMMMMOOOOOOTTTOOOO MIIIIDDDDOOOORRRRRIIIII!!!**

Maki Fujioka: Midori retained by KNOCKOUT! All it took was a big kick to the head and Nina completely dropped! Regardless of that, Midori is the one who is standing tall in victory, and… now the main event of Cinderella Story is set in stone! No more defenses, **Midori Miyamoto will face JUNKO in the main event of Cinderella Story 15!!**

Asuka Kuramochi: You know that Midori is ready for a fight! She wants both her own personal redemption for the loss at last year’s event and revenge for what JUNKO and DESPERADOS did to Ai Moe.

(Nina is being helped out of the ring by Melissa and medical personnel meanwhile JUNKO has made her way out from the back and stands with her faction beside her at the stage holding the JET World Championship high up in the air to a chorus of boos.)

Maki Fujioka: And look has made her way out from the back, that witch and her faction. Meanwhile,, Midori is standing in the ring alone like a one-woman army!

(Midori raises her briefcase high in the air to a huge reception from the fans. The final shot before the commercial is JUNKO smirking while Midori remains stoic.)

(An ad for JET’s Cinderella Story is shown…)

(“A DESPERADO makes her stand to claim her dominance over an entire company! An ace claims the highest mountain for a chance at immortality! Midori Miyamoto will take her RISE Contract for a shot at JUNKO’s JET World Championship!”)


(“A Sky Princess leaves and returns as the undisputed Queen of Fighters! A former companion must answer for her crimes as Cloud Matsuda will be standing face-to-face against Jessica Rose!)


(The camera appears before a set of curtains revealing something unexpected…)


(“Cinderella Story. Where stars shine the brightest! April 11th at Metlife Seibu Dome, only on the Alliance Network!)


(“Plastic Love” by Mariya Takeuchi plays to a standing ovation as Yuki and Rina Sakaraba come out, waving at the cheering audience as they make their way to the ring.)



MUSHI: We are now halfway through the third day of Collision Course 3! For the first time in the title’s history, the IJWF Tag team Championship was defended in a Four Corners Tag Match. Now here’s the fan-favorite Sakaraba Sisters! Yuki herself is a member of JROK, but was chosen to represent LAW in this match!

Asuka Kuramochi: The sisters are former Lethal Tag Team Champions but as of late have gone through a bit of a rough patch. Maybe their fortune will change this time around.

MUSHI: I don’t know Asuka, this isn’t your normal tag match. But I’ve personally witnessed Yuki overcome impossible odds, so we’ll see when the time comes.


(The Sakaraba Sisters climb into the ring, and are greeted with streamers. After they were removed, “Say You Will” by Evanescence plays as Talia Areano walks out with Megan Enders.)

MUSHI: Former JET Tag Team Champions, Talia and Megan have been teaming for a while. I’m sure they’re hungry for some more gold.

Asuka Kuramochi: I can confirm that first-hand, MUSHI. Talia and Megan have the potential to work like a well-oiled machine. Megan is a powerhouse while Talia is quick on her feet - a match made in heaven. Their diversity might be their trump card in this match.


(Talia and Megan climb into the ring. The lights in the arena flicker red as the initial guitar note rings out. The light flickers one last time before going out. For a moment, all is quiet before a loud “I.E.D!” screams out from the speakers. The lights shoot back on in a loud burst as the guitars of “The Only Thing They Fear is You” roars to life. As the lights shine and the crowd roars in a mixed reaction, Marie Bellefontaine makes her way onto the stage, smirking as she looks at the crowd around her. She nods her head to the music before pointing towards the ring as twin beams of red light shine next to her. Eleanor Dhampir and Victoria Marvell make their way into the light, both tense and breathing heavily as they stare towards their opponent/battlefield. Marie nods between the two of them before motioning for them to go.)

MUSHI: SHW’s resident badasses - I.E.D.

Asuka Kuramochi: I hear they’ve been making quite the scene over at Tarah Nova’s promotion.

MUSHI: Let’s see if they can bring some of that extreme energy to this match.

(They both charge the ring diving under the bottom rope and gliding to the middle of the ring. Eleanor staying on all fours as she pounds the mat with her fists, Victoria pacing behind her as she growls to the crowd before they both rear back and let out a roar, the lights dimming black before shooting back to normal with a burst of air, as both women stare straight ahead with a look of determined madness in their eye. “A Darkness In My Soul (Teemba Edit)” by Solid Space plays as Anna Daniels and Lisa Seldon walkout with the IJWF Tag Team Championships around their waists. They both nod to each other and walk down the ramp.)


MUSHI: Here are the tag champs themselves, my company’s representative in this match! JROK’s own Dodo-a-Gogo. They are members of the Hellcat Spangled Death Squad, a group of hellraisers. My kind of people. They’ve held these belts for 169 days, taking them off the inaugural champions, Animus!

Asuka Kuramochi: I’m curious to see what kind of chaos they’ll bring into this match. The competition is quite heavy!

MUSHI: Well these ladies move fast and work very well together. They’re not to be underestimated.

(Dodo-a-Gogo climbs into the ring and stares at the crowd while holding up their tag belts.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Flannery Chastin: The following match is scheduled for one fall and it is a FOUR CORNERS TAG TEAM MATCH FOR IJWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP! Two members from two separate teams will start the match. Anyone can tag themselves into the match, regardless of what team you’re on, as long as it’s not your own tag team partner! The first team to score a pinfall or submission is your winner! First! Victoria Marvell and Eleanor Damphir...I.E.D.!

(I.E.D. their fists in the air, much to their manager’s delight.)

Flannery Chastin: Their opponents! First, Yuki and Rina Sakaraba...The Sakaraba Sisters!

(Yuki and Rina wave to their adoring fans and begin stretching.)

Flannery Chastin: Next! The team of Talia Areano and Megan Enders!

(Talia and Megan give each other a high five and loosens their limbs.)

Flannery Chastin: And lastly...YOUR IJWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD! Anna Daniels! Lisa Seldon! DODO-A-GOGO!

Asuka Kuramochi: Such an odd name.

(The tag champs hand off their titles and everyone prepares themselves before the start of the bell.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

MUSHI: LAW Referee Zelda Perera has called for the bell and we’re underway! A big thanks to SHW Ring Announcer Flannery Chastin for her contribution! Anna Daniels is starting off the match with Rina Sakaraba as both women lock-up! They go through a brief chain wrestling sequence! Anna with a wristlock! Rina counters with a Hammerlock! Anna spins out and catches the leg! Rina kicks away and crawls back to the ropes! Anna laughs at her opponent, who stays near the ropes to create separation between the two! Daniels takes a couple of steps back, beckoning for Rina to come close!

Asuka Kuramochi: From what I’ve heard Anna is more of a striker but has no problem taking things to the mat! Rina makes her way over and the two are engaged in another lock-up! Side headlock takedown by Daniels! She still has the hold locked as Rina struggles to get free! Her sister is calling out to her as Anna transitions to a modified surfboard! Rina’s limbs are being stretched as Anna works to keep Rina away from her partner! Sakaraba’s wriggling about as her sister looks on, frustrated by what’s happening! Yuki wiggles enough and breaks free!

MUSHI: Anna lets go of the hold, frustrated by Rina’s escape! Sakaraba is hanging on to the ropes again, but Anna’s not backing down! She hits Rina with several mean boxing-style jabs! Sakaraba stumbles away from her sister, along the ropes! Talia reaches out for the tag but Anna pulls Rina away and whips her to her team’s corner! Anna charges forward - HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW! What agility from one-half of the tag champs! Rina slumps down, too stunned to move! Anna tags in Lisa! Her Dodo-a-Gogo sister-in-arms immediately starts stomping a mudhole through Rina! She’s barely able to defend herself as both women tag themselves in, taking turns stomping away at Rina!

Talia: (yells) Cut it out, you damn bullies!

Asuka Kuramochi: Anna gives Talia the finger and delivers a running low dropkick to Rina Sakaraba’s face! She drags her out and tags in Lisa! Swift teamwork with a double knee drop arm breaker! Sakaraba is in a daze as Anna wastes no time placing her in the tree of woe! Yuki is yelling for her sister to fight back! Come on Rina!

MUSHI: Anna goes back on the apron as Lisa struts to the opposite corner and winks at Yuki. She charges forward and leaps in the air for the dropkick -

Asuka Kuramochi: Nobody’s home! Ouch! Lisa lands in a not-so-nice position when she makes contact with the steel post as Rina pulls herself up in time! Before Anna can react, she’s kicked off the apron! Rina leaps from the top! DIVING ELBOW DROP TO THE FACE OF LISA SELDON!!!

MUSHI: Rina rolls forward, runs, dives, AND MAKES THE HOT TAG! Yuki Sakaraba IS IN! ANNA SLIDES INTO THE RING! KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO ANNA! ANOTHER ONE! A THIRD ONE! A FOURTH! ANNA’S IN THE CORNER, HOLDING HER CHEST! YUKI PICKS UP LISA AND WHIPS HER TO HER TEAM’S CORNER! SHE CHARGES FORWARD! FLYING ELBOW SMASH TO LISA! SHE PICKS UP SPEED AND HEADS TOWARDS ANNA! SHINING WIZARD! ANNA’S FACE IS ROCKED! YUKI RUNS BACK AT LISA! FLYING HIP ATTACK! SHE’S ON A ROLL! SHE RUNS BACK AT ANNA! CORNER DROPKICK! IT’S YUKIMANIA AS THE KAWAII SUPERSTAR JUMPS TO HER FEET ENERGIZED BY HER DOMINATION IN THIS MATCH!

Asuka Kuramochi: As Anna rolls out of the ring, Lisa finds herself crawling near Talia and Megan’s corner of the ring! Talia Areano tags herself in!

MUSHI: Yuki turns around just in time to see her new opponent! Talia smiles and cracks her knuckles eager to have a go at Yuki!

Asuka Kuramochi: I don’t know if these two ever shared a ring, but I’m expecting a classic! Yuki and Talia tie-up! Talia ducks a surprise roundhouse and whips Yuki her team’s corner! Talia runs at her but Yuki leaps over Talia and rolls along on the mat! Talia hops to the second rope as Yuki turns around - TORNADO DDT! Talia goes for the pin, but Yuki kicks out before the first count! She does a kip-up goes for Trouble in Paradise which Talia dodges with a one-handed handspring! Bulldog counter! Yuki gets back up! Second bulldog! Yuki kip-ups to her feet again! She dodges a kick! Kick to the gut counter! Talia’s on one knee! TROUBLE IN PARADISE KICK!! Talia is rolling away, trying to create some distance between the two! Yuki’s not done as she charges ahead! SLIDING FOREARM SMASH! Talia’s face was rocked! Areano rolls near the corner of the I.E.D. and Victoria Marvell tags herself in!

MUSHI: Yuki takes advantage of Victoria as she’s halfway between the ropes! Marvell dodges in time, forcing Sakaraba to crash into the corner! Victoria runs to the opposite end and charges forward - SPEAR!!! YUKI IS SLAMMED INTO THE CORNER!! Victoria tags in Eleanor Dhampir who wastes no time unleashing a barrage of stomps and elbows upon her opponent!

Asuka Kuramochi: Rina looks worried about her sister! Eleanor laughs at Rina and puts her hand up. She winks at Dodo-a-Gogo, much to Anna’s aggravation, and charges forward as Victoria raises Yuki to her feet! RUNNING KNEE LIFT!! Eleanor flips Yuki on her back and goes for the pin!

Zelda Perera: OOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!

TH-

Asuka Kuramochi: Yuki kicks out! Eleanor uses the opportunity to tie Yuki’s arm with the ropes as she applies a vicious armbar! Rina’s yelling at the ref to pay attention who turns around just as Eleanor puts her hand up just before the five count! Eleanor flips off Rina as she whips Yuki back to her team’s corner! Eleanor starts firing off a series of strong style shoot kicks to the chest of Sakaraba, as if mocking her in her own style of wrestling!

Marie Bellafontaine: (yells) THERE YOU GO! BREAK HER INTO LITTLE PIECES!

MUSHI: Their manager is ringside and she couldn’t be more pleased by her team’s dominance in this match. Eleanor may be a submission specialist, but she is just as dangerous a striker as Yuki! Speaking of which, Yuki looks like she needs to make a tag soon as Eleanor tags on Victoria who pounces on Sakaraba like a wild animal, unleashing a series of forearms to the face! Before the ref could separate her, Eleanor tags herself in and continues the assault with another series of kicks! Eleanor backs up to the opposite side of the ring!

Asuka Kuramochi: SAKARABA LEAPFROGS OVER DAMPHIR WHO CRASHES AND BURNS! Yuki tries to reach her side, but she’s still too stunned! Megan and Talia are encouraging her to tag one of them in! Surprisingly Rina agrees with them! She wants her sister out of there to recover! Yuki may want her team to stay legal but she’s taken too much of a beating! Yuki shrugs and leaps to make a hot tag to Megan Enders!

MUSHI: LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL MEGAN CHARGES FORWARD! Eleanor is on her knees - JUMPING CRESCENT KICK! ELEANOR IS LAID OUT! Victoria jumps over the ropes to attack Megan - FRONT DROPKICK BY TALIA! VICTORIA’S ROLLING OUT OF THE RING! Megan kicks out Eleanor as well! DODO-A-GOGO ARE IN THE RING! RINA SPRINGBOARDS OF THE ROPES! FRONT DROPKICK TO THE FACE of ANNA DANIELS! SHE GOES TUMBLING OUT OF THE RING! LISA STARTS ATTACKING RINA! DOUBLE SUPERKICK BY TALIA AND MEGAN, KNOCKING SELDON OUT OF THE RING!

Asuka Kuramochi: Wow, both teammates are helping Rina to her feet! Yuki points to Dodo-a-Gogo who is by the ramp, while Talia points at I.E.D. who is at the side of the ring! Both teams nod simultaneously! Yuki runs along the apron to the corner nearest turnbuckle! Rina climbs the opposite one! Dodo-a-Gogo is getting to their feet - STEREO MOONSAULTS! BOTH SAKARABA SISTERS LAND ON DODO-A-GOGO SIMULTANEOUSLY!!!

MUSHI: I.E.D. is helping each other up! Talia and Megan hit the ropes! STEREO SUICIDE DIVES TO THE I.E.D.! INGLEWOOD IS ON THEIR FEET! The crowd is losing their minds!

(The camera takes a moment to show the carnage outside the ring and shows an instant replay of the two high flying spots that just occurred.)

MUSHI: We now have ourselves a match! The Sakaraba Sisters and The Western Dream Team of JET have shown their opponents that they came to fight! A brawl is ensuing by the ramp as Dodo-a-Gogo refuses to give in, using what they have left in the tank to attack the Sakaraba Sisters! I.E.D. are back on their feet as well, striking back with a series of forearm strikes! Eleanor slams Megan’s head against the apron and rolls her back into the ring! Victoria grabs Talia and TOSSES HER INTO THE STEEL STEPS!

Asuka Kuramochi: The two legal women are back in the ring! The Sakaraba Sisters and Dodo-a-Gogo are still going at it! Eleanor picks up Megan and kicks her in the thigh! Megan falls to a knee! Eleanor gets behind her! OCTOPUS STRETCH AGAINST THE ROPES! MEGAN’S IN PAIN!!! ELEANOR IS TRYING TO USE THE ROPES TO HER ADVANTAGE!! MEGAN GETS A HOLD OF THE ROPES AND USES THE MOMENTUM TO TAKE HER AND DAMPHIR ONTO THE MAT! SHE HAS ELEANOR’S SHOULDERS PINNED! WAIT! DAMPHIR COUNTERS WITH A BODYSCISSORS PIN!

Zelda Perera: OOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO-

MUSHI: Megan kicks out! Eleanor tags in Victoria who slaps her out of frustration! After several stomps to the face, she’s turning to the Sakaraba Sisters!

Victoria: (yells) You bitches want to see a REAL MOONSAULT!?

MUSHI: The Sakarabas reply, but Victoria’s already walking away with her hand up! She climbs the turnbuckle on her team’s corner and perches up high! She takes a leap!

Asuka Kuramochi: Victoria misses! Megan manages to roll out of the way! She’s starts crawling towards her corner! SHE MAKES THE HOT TAG! TALIA’S BACK IN THE GAME! Victoria’s sitting up, but Areano’s already in front of her! She starts firing off shoot-style kicks like a machine gun! 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! She jumps back - ELEANOR GRABS HER FROM BEHIND! Talia fights out of Damphir’s grasp! Reverse hot shot! Eleanor goes flying off the apron! Talia gets up - she ducks Victoria’s lariat! Talia hits the ropes!

MUSHI: Lisa sneaks a tag!

Asuka Kuramochi: Victoria turns - FLYING CROSSBODY! VICTORIA CATCHES TALIA LIKE SHE WEIGHS NOTHING! OH MY GOD! SHE JUST TOSSED TALIA OVER THE ROPES! YAKUZA KICK FROM OUT OF NOWHERE BY SELDON! MARVELL NEARLY GOT HER HEAD TAKEN OFF! Lisa whips Victoria to her team’s corner, but Victoria reverses the whip, but Lisa hangs on and whips Victoria to a random corner! That’s Sakaraba territory! Rina tags herself in and hops over the ropes! Victoria starts arguing with Rina, who responds with a push! Victoria pushes back! TROUBLE IN PARADISE! VICTORIA IS KNOCKED OUT OF THE RING!

MUSHI: SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE SIDE OF YUKI’S HEAD!! Lisa tosses Sakaraba out of the ring! Wait! Rina starts unleashing a series of blows! One after the other! Punches! Elbows! Kicks! Lisa has her hands up in defense, backing away while trying to avoid The Dark Pulsar’s raging fury! Rina has Lisa backed up in Dodo-a-Gogo territory, too enraged to notice Anna getting the tag! Daniels climbs through the ropes! Roundhouse to the back of Sakaraba’s head by Lisa! Rina stumbles! Both Dodo-a-Gogo members are stomping on Sakaraba relentlessly! Talia slides back into the ring - SPIKE HURRICANRANA BY ANNA! Areano is shut down! Lisa starts unleashing a series of kicks to Rina’s chest! She’s too helpless to fight back! Megan climbs up to the apron - SUPERKICK BY LISA WHO TURNED AROUND JUST IN TIME! PENALTY KICK TO RINA SAKARABA’S HEAD BY ANNA DANIELS! RINA LOOKS LAID OUT! Anna gets climbing to the top rope! CAKE OR DEATH!!!

Asuka Kuramochi: RINA ROLLS AWAY IN TIME! NO DICE FOR ANNA! RINA MAKES THE TAG TO YUKI!! LISA IS IN THE RING! DARK MATTER LARIAT!!! WHAT POWER!! SHE HAS ANNA OVER HER SHOULDERS!! BLACK HOLE DRIVER!!! SHE NAILS THE BURNING HAMMER!!! YUKI COVERS!!!

Zelda Perera: OOOONEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Asuka Kuramochi: Rina knocks Eleanor off the apron!

Zelda Perera: TWWWWOOOOOOOO!

Asuka Kuramochi: Rina catches Victoria with a lariat!

Zelda Perera: THRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Plastic Love” plays as Yuki rolls off, exhausted. Rina tackles her sister with a hug as both Sakarabas lie on the mat in disbelief!)

Flannery Chastin: Your winners by pinfall, and NEW IJWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!! YUKI AND RINA SAKARABA!!!

MUSHI: Well I’ll be damned, they did it.

Asuka Kuramochi: Despite having one of the toughest periods of their career as a tag team, their suffering has finally paid off! The Sakarabas have tag gold once again!

MUSHI: They certainly deserve this victory, congratulations!

(The remaining teams help each other up as Yuki and Rina hold their new championships in the air as they celebrate outside the ring as they go up the ramp. I.E.D. is furious but keep their distance at Marie’s request. The other two teams look on in disappointment, especially former champs Dodo-a-Gogo. The last shot is the Sakarabas celebrating on stage with the tag titles.)

(The camera opens backstage where we see Lethal Angel Champion Roxy walking down the corridor with her title sling over her shoulder, while checking her phone. As she goes about her business, OWA Women’s World Champion Llorona stands nearby with her title in hand.)

Llorona: Hey chica.

(Roxy turns to Llorona, not amused.)

Roxy: Hello.

Llorona: Nice title.

Roxy: Thanks. I traded in the one you have for a better model.

(Roxy raises her title for a moment and continues to make her way to the “Brody position” by the entrance. Llorona simply smiles and shakes her head.)

Llorona: Why have one...when you can have both?

(Llorona chuckles to herself and goes in the opposite direction.)




(The camera cuts to ringside where London Morris is ready to go for the last time.)

London Morris: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL AND IT IS FOR THE LETHAL ANGELS CHAMPIONSHIP!!!


(“Into The Nothing” by Breaking Benjamin plays to a loud negative reaction from the fans as Eris makes her entrance wearing an all-black attire as always.)

London Morris: INTRODUCING FIRST!!! THE CHALLENGER!! FROM PARTS UNKNOWN!!! SHE IS THE CLEANSER!!! EEEEERRRRRIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSS!!!!

Kat Ricci: Two more matches left for this event and out first is the challenger! Eris has been on an absolute mission to get the Lethal Angels Championship off of Roxy but was screwed in their first match. Eris sent her message clear about being the challenger by attacking the champion at the end of Sin City. This is a do or die situation for Eris right now!


(Eris enters the ring as soon the music changes to “Play Destroy” by Poppy as the crowd erupts in a mixed reaction, the champ herself makes her way out from the back. Her championship proudly around her waist.)

London Morris: AND HER OPPONENT!!! FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA!!! SHE IS THE HELL SPAWN AND THE LETHAL ANGELS CHAMPION!!! RRRRROOOOOOOXXXXXXYYYYYYY!!!!

Monica Vaughan: The most successful champion in LAW history, 400+ days as champion! Arguably the biggest success story in LAW’s history, both from the original promotion and this incarnation. Roxy has been THE face of the promotion, and she’s proving why having the genes of two all-time great is a blessing, 20 years old and still yet to hit what could be considered the best years of her career.

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Kat Ricci: The bell sounds, and this championship match is underway as Eris lands a hard-hitting Running Lariat on Roxy as she crashes hard on the ring. Eris doesn't let up as she begins stomping away at Roxy, but Roxy manages to roll out of the ring. Roxy is trying to catch a break, but Eris follows her to the outside and lifts her up into a Powerbomb position. Eris, now in control, begins running and throws Roxy into the corner post, which causes her head into the post! Roxy is down and grabbing her head as Eris has a sinister smile on her face! Eris goes on the apron and hits an Apron Diving Elbow Drop on the back of Roxy!

Monica Vaughan: Eris is back in the ring, now. I know she has done damage to Roxy, but if Roxy can't come back into the ring before the ten count then Eris will win the match, but not the belt. Roxy is up to her feet and gets on the apron as the referee is at seven, but Eris comes to Roxy and hits a Vertical Suplex on Roxy into the ring! Eris is truly showing how dominant she is and showing she should never be taken lightly. Eris scoops up Roxy and lands the Shark Tooth Driver! Roxy seems to be out of it, but Eris isn't finished with Roxy just yet as she heads to the top rope. Eris goes for a Diving Leg Drop, but Roxy moves and Eris lands hard on the mat! Roxy rolled just in time, and Roxy quickly hit a Low Running Dropkick on Eris, buying her some more time. Roxy goes to the ropes and hits a Springboard Moonsault on Eris, but that is followed up by a Standing Moonsault.

Kat Ricci: Roxy is showing Eris that shouldn't be taken lightly now as Roxy hits a Kneeling Snap DDT followed by a Standing Pointed Elbow Drop on the back of Eris' head. Roxy now has a sinister smile on her face as she locks in a Figure-Four Necklock on Eris. Eris is struggling to get to the ropes, but Roxy isn't letting up even as Eris hits Side Hammerfist. Eris is close to the ropes, but Roxy lets go of the hold and grabs a hold of the ropes...Slingshot Double Foot Stomp on the back of Eris' head! Roxy isn't letting up as Eris is getting and she...Felina! The Running Curb Stomp connected and Eris hit the mat hard!

Monica Vaughan: Roxy is showing out tonight and showing why she is the Lethal Angel Champion. Eris is down, but Roxy is watching her like a wounded animal as she taunts her to get up. Roxy runs and goes for the Bitch Lasagna, but Eris ducks causing Roxy to land on the mat...Eris looks in a Reverse Triangle Choke! Eris is going to make Roxy pay for what she did!

Kat Ricci: I think, if Roxy was smart she would just tap out right here, Kat. There is no way Roxy can make it to the ropes. Eris has this match right here. Roxy is struggling to the ropes, and almost gets her foot on it, but Eris lets go of the hold...Running Leg Drop from Eris across the throat of Roxy!

Monica Vaughan: Holy Toledo!

Kat Ricci: Eris is for sure paying Roxy back with everything she has done so far to her. Eris now lifting Roxy up and...locks in the Sandman's Call! She has the Sleeper hold locked in tight! That isn't enough as she begins violently throwing around Roxy and even begins spinning her around! Roxy has to be out now...

Monica Vaughan: I don't think that matters, Kat, as Eris hits a Sitout Sleeper Slam on Roxy! The referee is overlooking at Roxy to see if she is still able to wrestle as Eris taunts her. Roxy is slow to raise up as the referee moves as Eris nails a huge Big Boot to Roxy and she falls motionless to the mat. The referee is checking on Roxy again, but Roxy once again tries to stand on her feet. Roxy is up, though she is wobbly, Eris hits the Razor Wire on Roxy! That Single-Leg Running Dropkick connected and Roxy is against the ropes!

Kat Ricci: This might the end of Roxy right, Monica. Eris goes to Roxy and hits a Belly-to-Belly Suplex on Roxy as Eris is just using Roxy as a ragdoll now. Eris lifts Roxy up one more time and...Shatter! The Buckle Bomb connected and it was followed by...The Cleanser! The Fireman's Cutter connects and Roxy is out! This has to be it!

Jenny Carlson: One! Two!

Monica & Kat: No! Roxy kicked out at two-and-a-half!
Monica Vaughan: How?! How was Roxy able to kick out and Eris not get the victory right there? Eris is shocked by this as Roxy slowly gets up and looks at Eris and flips her off. Eris runs towards Roxy, but Roxy hits a Spinning Legsweep causing Eris to faceplant. Eris is quick to her feet, but Roxy blinds her with a Spinning Heel Kick! Eris is stunned as Roxy hits the ropes and plants a Springboard Back Elbow on Eris! Eris is on one knee as Roxy runs and hits a Forward Somersault Neckbreaker! Roxy isn't done as she hits Springboard Moonsault! Roxy is on the top rope now...Roxy's Dream House! The Diving Moonsault connects! Roxy lifts Eris up and goes to hit The Carousel...Eris counters it with a huge Sitout Over-the-Shoulder Reverse Piledriver!

Kat Ricci: Wow! That was a counter that mattered, but it seems like both women are out. The referee is checking on both women as neither seem to be moving after that piledriver. The referee is about to call the match, but Eris and Roxy begin to show signs of movement. Both women are staggering as they begin trading strikes. Eris with a series of Forearms and Roxy with a series of Elbows. Eris lands a stiff Headbutt on Roxy, but Roxy replies with a headbutt of her own! Both women stagger a bit as it seems like neither is willing to give up just yet. Eris runs and goes for a Running Lariat, but Roxy counters it with a Float-Over DDT! Roxy locks a Figure-Four Necklock like before as grabs her leg, tightening the grip. Roxy is doing everything she can to keep her belt.

Monica Vaughan: At this rate, I don't know who will win as it seems like both have a counter for everything. Eris seems to be passing out, but she manages to get a rope break as Roxy is forced to let go. Roxy goes for the Felina...but Eris pops Roxy up and hits a Stun Gun! Eris dropped Roxy hard on the ropes, but Eris deadlifts Roxy up and nails a Release German Suplex! Eris begins stomping away at Roxy, but the referee comes in and breaks the assault as Eris looks pissed at this. Roxy motions to the referee that she is still able to wrestle as the match resumes. Eris goes to Roxy and gets a one-handed choke on her as she lifts Roxy up and hits a Chokeslam Backbreaker maintaining the chokehold.

Kat Ricci: The referee is demanding Eris let go of the hold or be disqualified. Eris lifts Roxy up and hits a Kneeling Chokeslam. Roxy has no time to recover as Eris yanks her up, slings her into the ropes, and the Heavy Hand of Judgement! That Ridge Hand connects and Roxy seems to be out.

Monica Vaughan: Eris is lifting Roxy back and...

Monica & Kat: Shatter! The Cleanser! This has to be it!

Jenny Carlson: One! Two! Three!

Monica & Kat: Wait! Roxy kicked out at the dead last second she could have! How!? Just how in the hell!?

Kat Ricci: I don't know what is in Roxy, but damn it..or she...or whatever is making her refuse to give up. Eris is pissed by this, and Roxy flips Eris off again. Eris yanks Roxy by hair, but Roxy manages to hit a Back Kick on Eris' knee! Holy hell, that is rough! Roxy hits a Spinning Heel Kick causing Eris to stumble against the ropes. Roxy runs and hits a Running Dropkick on Eris! Roxy having some time, now, goes to the top rope. Eris doesn't see Roxy as she nails a Missile Dropkick to the back of her head! Eris is leaning forward against the ropes and Roxy goes to the outside and hits a Rope Stunner on Eris! Eris is on the mat, but is quick to her feet as Roxy meets her with a Springboard Forward Somersault Neckbreaker!
Monica Vaughan: Damn! It seems like we are seeing a different Roxy than before now as Roxy hits a Running Double Foot Stomp square on Eris' head! With that move Roxy is telling Eris that she isn't going to dethrone her that easy.
Kat Ricci: I am inclined to agree, Monica.

Monica Vaughan: The Tramp Stamp! From out of nowhere, Roxy nailed a Jumping Superkick to the back of Eris, who was getting up. Another one! Roxy is making sure Eris gets her point...

Kat Ricci: Wait

Monica Vaughan: Bitch Lasagna! She nailed it on Eris while kneeling!

Jenny Carlson: One! Two! Three!

Monica & Kat: No! Eris paid Roxy back by kicking out at the last second like Roxy did!

Kat Ricci: I am shocked, Monica. I have no clue what it is going to take out any of these women away, now. Roxy and Eris are both trying to gain some energy back as the two begin trading insults back and forth. Eris and Roxy are head to head as they continue to taunt each other and begin slapping each other, which soons transitions into Elbows and Forearms. Both women, on their feet, are wobbly as they begin throwing power strikes. Eris manges to power through and lands a stiff series of Headbutts stunning Savannah. Eris lifts Savannah and brings her to a Crucifix position...Witch Hunt! The Crucifix Powerbomb lands! Eris lifts Roxy backup...Descent into Madness! The Pumphandle Powerbomb connects!

Monica Vaughan: I think Roxy is out cold, Kat...she ain't moving. Eris lifts Roxy back up and goes for the Shatter but..Roxy counters into a Sitout Facebuster! Roxy knew it was coming and countered it! Eris is down and Roxy hits Roxy's Dream House!

Monica & Kat: No! Eris moved at the last second and Roxy doesn't connect!

Monica Vaughan: I think Eris knew if that move landed then Roxy would instantly follow it up with something else. Both women are down and are trying to regain some of the strength back as both women seem to be running on pure fumes now. Both women are slow to their feet. Eris and Roxy are against the ropes and are glaring at the other across the ring.

Kat Ricci: Eris and Roxy run at each other. Eris goes for a Running Lariat but...Roxy ducks it!

Monica & Kat: The Carousel! Roxy is able to connect and land it!

Jenny Carlson; One! Two! Three!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

(“Play Destroy” plays one more time as Roxy is handed her championship by Jenny Carlson.)

London Morris: YOUR WINNER AND STILL!!! LETHAL ANGELS CHAMPION!!! RRROOOOOOOXXXXYYYYYY!!!

Monica Vaughan: The reign lives on for Roxy! And now she can add Eris to the list of former champions she has beaten in her young career! It very much looked like Eris was going to walk away as the champion but Roxy fought back and made sure to put away the one threat who has been looming over her title reign.

Kat Ricci: The path for Roxy towards Lethal Hearts III has gotten a bit easier. Just one more defense and she’ll be there. We have to see who is going to step up this time.

(a black screen appears showing the logos for the Alliance Network…)


VS


(“Lethal Takeover. Coming soon on The Alliance Network.”)




(The interior of The forum is shown as the arena grows dark. An eclipse appears on that tron as “Eclipse” by Yngwie Malmsteen plays. Diantha Rosso walks out with a look of confidence on her face.)


Maki Fujioka: What a performance last night from “The Heavenly Lioness!” She forced the previous Queen of the World winner to tap before our very eyes! Now while she was doing it to send a message to her future opponent in OWA, Llorona!

Psycho KGB: Well as much as I admire Rosso’s tenacity, she needs to focus on the task at hand and that’s defeating Nausicaa in the finals! She’s not the only one who got a submission victory!

Maki Fujioka: Do you think it’ll be a war of submission, or they’ll try for something else?

Psycho KGB: Remains to be seen. Nausicaa has quite a few different approaches to winning a match. I’m sure Diantha has the same. But Monica and I made a bet so if Nausicaa take this...I’m gonna eat good tonight!

(Diantha climbs into the ring and notices that her brother Carlos is in the audience. After they nod at each other, she runs the ropes several times before going to her corner. As “Eclipse” fades, there’s a moment of silence before "Tsuki to Hanataba" by Sayuri plays as Nausicaa walks out wearing her signature gas mask.)


Maki Fujioka: Nausicaa has certainly impressed me in this tournament. For someone so young, her level of awareness and skill equals to that of someone ten years her senior. I shudder to think of the kind of force she’ll be when she reaches her peak.

Psycho KGB: Nausicaa may have no peak, and that’s probably the scariest thing about her. In other words, she’s my kind of talent.

Maki Fujioka: Will Suzuki shock the world and defeat Diantha, who seems to be the heavy favorite? Or will Rosso add another accolade to her growing list?

(Nausicaa climbs into the ring and poses against the ropes. The camera shifts to the QOTW crown and trophy. Next to it is the new IJWF Chairwoman Akira Uno, formerly known as Lady AKIRA. Next to her is the former chairwoman Miss Manami, LAW President Marilyn Bellamy, JET President Hanako Nakamura, SHW Owner Tarah Nova, and a representative for J-ROK owner Kira Izumi.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Fumio Demura: the following the finals for the Queen of the World Tournament and it is scheduled for one fall with no time limit! The winner of tonight’s main event will be crowned the 2021 Queen of the World! First, from New Orleans, Louisiana! Weighing in at 125 lbs! They call her ”Seibu no Kishu”....DIANTHA! ROSSO!

(Diantha climbs to the top rope to hype up the crowd.)

Fumio Demura: From Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan! Weighing in at 122lbs! “Super Saiyan Rosé” Nausicaa Suzuki!

(Nausicaa raises a fist before an ecstatic crowd and backs to her corner.)

Psycho KGB: Nausicaa vs Diantha - time to make history!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Maki Fujioka: Referee Yuri Watanabe has called for the bell and you can feel the big fight atmosphere that’s going on right now in The Forum! There’s a huge amount of overwhelming support for both competitors!

Crowd: LET’S GO ROS-SO!

Crowd: NAU-SI-CAA!

Crowd: LET’S GO ROS-SO!

Crowd: NAU-SI-CA!

Psycho KGB: Both women are engaged in a staredown, one waiting for the other to make a move! Everyone is anticipating to see who will make the first move!

Maki Fujioka: You can tell from the look in their eyes, both women are assessing the situation, wondering who will act first! Suzuki is circling her opponent, looking for an opening. Diantha responds by engaging in a collar-and-elbow tie-up! Nausicaa attempts a transition, but Diantha has her on the ropes! Suzuki tries to push her away, but the power of Rosso is too overwhelming!

Yuri Watanabe: One! Two! Three! Four!

Maki Fujioka: Diantha breaks the hold and raises a fist! Huh? She’s patting Suzuki on the shoulder and takes a few steps away, much to Nausicaa’s ire!

Psycho KGB: Nausicaa doesn't look pleased! Diantha has immediately started with the mind games, attempting to get into Nausicaa’s head! Rosso has her arms out, baiting Suzuki to come forward! Suzuki takes the bait! Both women are engaged in another tie-up! Diantha has taken control! Suzuki transitions around Rosso with a waistlock! Rosso counters with a hip toss! Suzuki rolls to her feet- NARROWLY DODGES THE BURNING MOON V-TRIGGER! Suzuki’s crawling backwards to the corner to gather her bearings! Diantha looks ready and focused! So far Rosso has her number!

Maki Fujioka: Suzuki stands back up, slowly inching her way out the corner. She has her guard up and is adopting a striking stance. Diantha answers with a catch stance of her own. Diantha attempts to close in, but Nausicaa stops her with a low kick. Rosso tries to catch the leg, but Suzuki draws back to the leg- she ducks the surprise clothesline! Diantha hits the ropes! Armdrag counter by Suzuki!

Psycho KGB: Now it’s Nausicaa’s turn to gloat! Diantha nods a few times, giving her some measure of respect. Both women are back in position- Nausicaa slides and trips Diantha with a single leg takedown! She has Rosso’s leg and goes for the Boston Crab! The former world champ is fighting out of the hold and escapes! Nausicaa rolls to her feet but Diantha’s already unloading a barrage of elbow smashes! She has Nausicaa against the ropes! Irish whip to the opposite end! Suzuki rebounds and slides around Diantha under the spinning heel kick! GERMAN SUPLEX! Diantha flips out of it! Kick to the back of Nausicaa’s knee and she’s down-

Maki Fujioka: HEAVENLY LIONESS CLAW! IT’S LIGHTS OUT FOR NAUSICAA AS SHE’S KNOCKED OUT OF THE RING BY THE HIDDEN BLADE ELBOW! Diantha looks disappointed since she usually follows that with one of her finishing maneuvers!

Psycho KGB: Maybe it’s just me, but it looks like Diantha has figured out how Suzuki fights down to a tee! I’m still rooting for my girl, but I can see why people consider Rosso to be one of the best of this generation!

Yuri Watanabe: One!

Maki Fujioka: The ref has begun the count! Nausicaa is slowly getting back to her senses! Diantha is climbing to the top rope! Diantha perched while watching her prey! Nausicaa is coming! DIVING CROSSBODY TO THE OUTSIDE! IT’S JACKPOT FOR THE LIONESS AS SHE MAKES CONTACT!

Crowd: THAT WAS AWESOME! (clap-clap clap-clap-clap) THAT WAS AWESOME! (clap-clap clap-clap-clap)

(An instant replay shows Diantha getting maximum hangtime as she successfully lands the diving crossbody onto Nausicaa.)

Yuri Watanabe: Two!

Maki Fujioka: Diantha is RELENTLESS! Since the opening bell she’s been on Nausicaa Suzuki like she owes her a loan! Rosso is already on her feet with Nausicaa’s hair in the grasp! Diantha grabs Suzuki’s arm and WHIPS HER INTO THE BARRICADE SHOULDER-FIRST!

Yuri Watanabe: Three!

Psycho KGB: Nausicaa is a mess right now, Fujioka-san! She’s leaning against the barricade, still unsure of what to do next-

Maki Fujioka: BURNING MOON! DIANTHA JUST DELIVERED THE V-TRIGGER TO END ALL V-TRIGGERS, KNOCKING NAUSICAA SUZUKI OVER THE BARRICADE! BOTH WOMEN ARE NEAR LIFELESS ON THE ARENA FLOOR AFTER DIANTHA TUMBLED OVER FROM THE IMPACT!

Crowd: HOLY S--T! HOLY S--T! HOLY S--T!

Psycho KGB: The raw striking power of Diantha Rosso! Nausicaa needs to find a way to get out of this situation and adopt a different strategy! Diantha is forcing her to play her game right now!

Yuri Watanabe: Four!

Maki Fujioka: Diantha is still stunned, but she’s becoming mobile! It doesn’t look like she wants to win this via countout! She wants the honor of pinning or submitting her opponent!

Psycho KGB: Somehow she grabs Nausicaa and is dragging her back to the ring!

Yuri Watanabe: Five!

Maki Fujioka: This is taking a lot out of Diantha! She had an explosive start, doing whatever it takes to keep Suzuki on her toes!

Psycho KGB: Nausicaa has barely been able to mount any kind of offensive against her opponent! This is a much different scenario than when she faced HULK!

Yuri Watanabe: Six!

Maki Fujioka: Diantha is able to roll Nausicaa back into the ring. She slides in after her and immediately goes for the pin!

Yuri Watanabe: OOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!

Maki Fujioka: Suzuki kicks out at two! Diantha slams her fist onto the mat, upset that her gambit didn’t pay off! Even she must realize that it’s going to take more than a Burning Moon over a barricade to defeat Suzuki!

Psycho KGB: Diantha’s frustration is going away as she picks Nausicaa up and hits a snap suplex! She’s gonna have to focus on weakening her opponent if she’s going to overcome her opponent! She sits Suzuki up and starts appling a chinlock!

Maki Fujioka: Diantha is slowing things down for a moment. She doesn't want to get too ahead of herself. Nausicaa excels in chaotic situations, something that is the opposite of Diantha’s focused, hybrid style. Rosso delivers several elbows to the shoulder for good measure! Suzuki is being prevented from countering in this position! Diantha slowly gets her opponent to her feet and stands in front of her opponent...WORLD SHAKING!!! THE PINNING MICHINOKU DRIVER II JUST SHOOK THE ENTIRE RING!!!

Yuri Watanabe: OOOONEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWOOO!!!

Maki Fujioka: Suzuki gets the shoulder up! Diantha doesn’t look the least bit concerned. She may be adapting the Queen’s Road philosophy of exhausting your opponent by making them kick out often.

Psycho KGB: Upon my research of JET, I’ve noticed that it’s a common tactic for you ladies to use this strategy in matches that surpass twenty minutes, right?

Maki Fujioka: Yes, it’s something we pass on to our students. Make your opponent work harder while you work smarter. Diantha whips Suzuki to the corner! Nausicaa dodges the flying clothesline! Diantha catches herself and makes a swift turn- NAUSICAA GETS CAUGHT IN THE FACE BY A SHINING WIZARD!

Psycho KGB: It’s like she knows Suzuki's every move. Nausicaa needs to get her mind in this match!

Maki Fujioka: That’s the thing- I think Nausicaa is focused on this match, she’s just not ready for what Diantha is bringing to the table! Rosso hits the ropes and lands a knee drop to the sternum! Nausicaa curls up into a ball, feeling the effects of this onslaught! Diantha’s been adopting a slow, counter-based style the likes I haven’t seen in years! We’re not just seeing the 2-time OWA Clash Winner Diantha, we’re seeing the 2-time Women’s World Champion, 2-time SSW Tag Team Champion! This is the sister of one of the iconic fighters of our generation, a member of a bloodline that will go down in history as one of the greatest wrestling dynasties! For Nausicaa Suzuki, this is her boss battle, the ultimate test!

Psycho KGB: Diantha’s carefully eyeing Nausicaa, who is using the ropes for support! She moves forward- Diantha DODGES THE PELE! Suzuki stumbles a bit on the land- KIP-UP LARIAT BY ROSSO! SUZUKI IS LEVELED! This isn’t the dominant fighter we’ve seen the past two days!

Maki Fujioka: Diantha mounts Suzuki and starts unleashing elbow after elbow! All Nausicaa can do is put up her hands! She has Nausicaa metaphorically on the ropes! Suzuki is trying to block every attack that’s coming her way!

Psycho KGB: Wait! Nausicaa caught an elbow! She’s trying to counter with a gogoplata! Diantha’s trying to break free! Nausicaa almost has the hold locked in! Diantha’s pulling back...and DEADLIFTS Suzuki IN A POWERBOMB POSITION! Nausicaa COUNTERS WITH A FRANKENSTEINER! The crowd is on their feet, cheering for the underdog! Nausicaa has finally created some separation between her and Rosso!

Maki Fujioka: Suzuki is still out of it, trying to fight through the damage she’s accumulated so far in this match! Diantha is back on her feet! Her brother Carlos is cheering her on, while Nausicaa’s SKY Force remains backstage and hopeful! Diantha swings her leg for a soccer kick- NAUSICAA HAS THE LEG! WITH A BURST OF ENERGY NAUSICAA GETS TO HER FEET! SHE WHIPS DIANTHA TO THE ROPES! WISHMAKER!!! SPINNING SIDEWALK SLAM UPON THE REBOUND!!!

Psycho KGB: That took a lot out of Nausicaa, but she’s crawling over to Diantha! She lays her body over her for the cover!

Yuri Watanabe: OOOOONNNNEEEEEEEEEE-

Psycho KGB: Diantha immediately gets the shoulder up! Nausicaa has barely touched her, despite the Hail Mary she pulled! Nausicaa takes a knee, wondering what to do next. She sits Diantha up and gets to her feet. Soccer kick to the back! Diantha is holding her back! Suzuki hits the ropes! Basement dropkick to the face! Adrenaline is coursing through the veins of the Super Saiyan Rosé as she takes control over this match! Nausicaa struggles as she drags Diantha to the corner and climbs to the top! She actually wants to go high-risk after the beating she just took? FALLING DROP TO THE HEART HITS THE SPOT! Instead of going for a pin, Nausicaa drags Diantha into a seated corner position and unleashes a hellfire blitz of stomps! One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Nausicaa pulls her up by the wrist and transitions into a face lock! DDT! She’s not finished as she pulls Diantha up by the hair! She hoists Rosso into the air!

Maki Fujioka: She’s just holding her up there...how does she have this much strength left-

Psycho KGB: DELAYED VERTICAL SUPLEX! Look how the ring shook from the impact! Wow!

Maki Fujioka: Nausicaa is finding her way out her funk and back into this match! She flips Rosso over with a snapmare! Spin kick to the face! Suzuki turns to Carlos Rosso sisters and flips him the bird! Come on Nausicaa, there was no need for that!

Carlos Rosso: (yells) FOCUS ON THE MATCH!

Nausicaa Suzuki: (yells back in her accent) FUK YOU!

Maki Fujioka: Suzuki grabs Diantha’s legs! Knee breaker! She hits the ropes! Twisting elbow drop! She makes the cover!

Yuri Watanabe: OOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!

Maki Fujioka: Nausicaa breaks the count herself! She looks down at Diantha with a grin on her face! I don’t like the look in her eyes...

Nausicaa Suzuki: (yells) KUSO KURAE!

Maki Fujioka: SHE JUST SMACKED ROSSO ACROSS THE FACE! This is Suzuki returning the favor with the mind games! She wants to get in Diantha’s head! She wants to sow seeds of doubt in the mind of Diantha Rosso!

Psycho KGB: This is the Nausicaa Suzuki I’m used to seeing! she whips Diantha to the corner! The force of that running dropkick has knocked Rosso into a seated position again! Suzuki charges to the other side of the corner! She comes running back! ROSSO AVOIDS THE CANNONBALL! Nausicaa flips out to the apron! SPRINGBOARD FOREARM SMASH! ROSSO GOT CAUGHT SQUARE IN THE FACE! Suzuki is beginning to pick up the momentum! She’s climbing to the outside! She’s on the top turnbuckle! Is this it!? She’s waiting for Diantha to get back to her feet...

Maki Fujioka: LEAP OF FAITH!!! THE MISSILE DROPKICK KNOCKS DIANTHA HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING!!! SUZUKI SCRAMBLES AND FOLDS DIANTHA UP FOR A PIN!

Yuri Watanabe: OOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Maki Fujioka: ROSSO KICKS OUT AT THE LAST SECOND! Suzuki’s putting on the pressure, not even giving Diantha a chance to compose herself! Nausicaa picks up The Lioness and tosses her out of the ring! Nausicaa climbs to the top once more and scouts the opposition! The crowd is stomping their feet in support!

Crowd: (Stomp-stomp stomp stomp-stomp)

Maki Fujioka: A SECOND LEAP OF FAITH!!!! AS SOON AS DIANTHA WAS ON HER FEET AGAIN, NAUSICAA FOUND HER TARGET!!! She took a hard landing herself, but she’s back up and is now running over to the barricade! She jumps on top and hypes up the crowd!!

(An instant replay shows Nausicaa pulling off a successful missile dropkick to the outside on Diantha.)

Crowd: YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Yuri Watanabe: One!

Psycho KGB: The Forum is on FIRE right now! Nausicaa got her groove back! And now has Diantha outside-

Maki Fujioka: MASAMUNE! ROSSO OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A ROLLING ELBOW AS NAUSICAA APPROACHED HER! IT WAS A DESPERATE ATTEMPT THAT PAID OFF! IT’S LIGHTS OUT FOR SUZUKI AT THE MOMENT!

Yuri Watanabe: Two!

Maki Fujioka: Diantha walks over to Nausicaa and picks her up! She turns and whips Nausicaa into the barricade! Shades of what she’s done earlier! You can tell she’s still feeling the effects of Suzuki’s assault! She starts pushing her boot in Nausicaa’s face, squeezing her head against the barricade! She lifts Suzuki by her shoulders...OH MY GOD! POWERBOMB AGAINST THE BARRICADE! NAUSICAA’S BACK NEARLY SNAPPED IN HALF! She’s in absolute pain!

Psycho KGB: Rosso showing just how hardcore she can get! Nausicaa doesn’t look well right now! She’s holding her back, wincing in pain! Diantha doesn’t care as she grabs Nausicaa by the hair, dragging her back to the ring!

Yuri Watanabe: Three!

Psycho KGB: Diantha WHIPS SUZUKI INTO THE STEEL STEPS! Nausicaa tried to brace the impact with her shoulder, but it made things worse as she’s holding it while lying on the floor! Diantha looks so heartless right now- I don’t think there’s an ounce of sympathy in her face right now! She picks up Nausicaa and SLAMS HER ARM INTO THE RING POST! Nausicaa finds herself curled up in a ball again as Diantha waits for no one and throws Suzuki back into the ring! Rosso follows suit, sliding into the ring!

Maki Fujioka: Diantha has that spark in her eye...it looks like she wants to end things here and now! She has Nausicaa’s leg! SASORI-GATAME ! DIANTHA HAS THE SHARPSHOOTER APPLIED! SUZUKIi’S HANDS ARE AWAY FROM THE ROPES! THIS MIGHT BE THE END OF THE ROAD FOR HER! DINATHA IS WRENCHING HER LEGS BACK! SUZUKI MAY TAP OUT IN FRONT OF HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY! RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER FIANCE! NAUSICAA IS DOING WHATEVER SHE CAN TO BREAK OUT OF THE HOLD, BUT THE FLEXIBILITY OF ROSSO AND HER WEAKENED STATE IS WORKING AGAINST HER! ROSSO IS APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BACK SHE JUST DESTROYED WHEN DELIVERING THAT POWERBOMB AGAINST THE BARRICADE! SUZUKI’S SCREAMING OUT IN PAIN! I NEVER HEARD HER SCREAM LIKE THIS BEFORE! SHE JUST MAY TAP, SHE JUST MAY-

Psycho KGB: Nausicaa’s trying to turn herself over! All she needs to do is turn herself on her back for the escape or crawl to the nearest set of ropes! to roll away in escape! Nausicaa’s crawling to the ropes- what’s this!? It’s SKY Force! Rin Kubo, Shizuku Yamamoto, Haley Grimes and Charles!! Suzuki’s faction has come out in support! They’re making their way down the ramp, cheering her on! Hey, hey! Carlos Rosso just jumped the barricade! He’s walking up the ramp while yelling at SKY Force! He’s telling them to keep their distance! Diantha sees what’s going on and breaks the hold, She’s leaning against the ropes to take a good look at-

Maki Fujioka: SURPRISE ROLL-UP BY SUZUKI!

Yuri Watanabe: OOONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!

TH-

Psycho KGB: DIANTHA KICKS OUT IN TIME! After a distraction from her teammates and Diantha’s brother, Nausicaa finds herself with another chance to make it out of this match intact and possibly the next Queen of the World! She crawls over Diantha and starts slamming her head against the mat! One! Two! Three! Four! ANOTHER SLAP ACROSS THE FACE! Rosso rolls to the side, holding her face!

Maki Fujioka: You can see the viciousness in these women's eyes as this match continues on! Meanwhile, Carlos is in a standoff with SKY Force! Referee Yuri Watanabe points at everyone on the ramp and issues them a warning. Nausicaa pays no mind to what’s happening outside and begins to stomp her opponent repeatedly on the head while holding onto the ropes! Suzuki drags Diantha from the ropes and lifts her over her shoulders! Dianthas slides out from the suplex attempt and lands behind Nausicaa! Suzuki turns around- SHE DODGES THE BURNING MOON!

BOTH WOMEN ARE LAID OUT ON THE MAT! BOTH ARE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO STAY IN THIS MATCH!

Yuri Watanabe: One!

Maki Fujioka: Referee Yuri Watanabe has begun the countdown for a double K.O.! Both Nausicaa and Diantha are stirring, but still exhausted from the toll this match has taken on them! You can tell they want to get to their feet, but it’s taking more time than usual! Carlos and SKY Force are now ringside, cheering on who they came to support!

Ref: Two!

Three!

Four!

Psycho KGB: Nausicaa is using the ropes to pull herself up, as is Diantha! They’re both standing up! Nausicaa SLAPS Diantha across the face for a third time! DIANTHA RETURNS THE FAVOR!

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!! (clap-clap clap-clap-clap)

(The instant replay shows Diantha tapping into her inner strength to fly over the ropes, landing on Nausicaa. Carlos is seen jumping up and down with glee in is white suit!)

Maki Fujioka: From the beginning this match has been “whatever you can do I can do better!” What you see before you is the pinnacle in women’s wrestling here in The IJWF! JET vs J-ROK’s female talent! Two women who are familiar with titles, but the one standing on her feet knows what it means to fight like a WORLD Champion!

Yuri Watanabe: One!

Psycho KGB: The ref has begun the count and Suzuki finds herself at the mercy of Rosso as she starts firing off forearm shots! Nausicaa seems like she’s being worn down! How much does she have left in the tank!? Diantha whips Nausicaa towards the barricade once more- SUZUKI REVERSE AND WHIPS ROSSO INSTEAD! Diantha hits the barricade back first- YAKUZA KICK TO THE HEAD AND DIANTHA IS KNOCKED INTO THE AUDIENCE!

Yuri Watanabe: Two!

Maki Fujioka: Nausicaa turns to Carlos and sticks her tongue out while doing the “evil eye”! SKY Force is jumping up and down, while cheering for their leader! Nausicaa smiles at her comrades and rolls into the ring. Diantha is getting to her feet, shaking off the cobwebs. The grueling nature of this match is beginning to eat away at her. Suzuki watches her from inside the ring, her eyes dead focused on her opponent! I don’t know what Suzuki is up to-

Nausicaa Suzuki: (yells) **SKY FORCE!!!**

SKY Force: (yells) **KAKERU!!!**

Maki Fujioka: She’s running to the opposite corner!? Nausicaa’s picking up speed as she charges towards the corner closest to Diantha’s location in the audience! She leaps off the second rope to the top turnbuckle-

Psycho KGB: DIVING FOREARM SMASH!!!! SUZUKI JUST FLEW FROM THE RING INTO THE AUDIENCE AS SHE CRASHES INTO DIANTHA!!!

Crowd: HOLY S--T! HOLY S--T! HOLY S--T! HOLY S--T! HOLY S--T!

Carlos Rosso: (yelling) WHAT!? WHAT!? WHAT!?

Maki Fujioka: SHE SOARED THROUGH THE AIR! HOW IN THE HECK!? HOW IN THE HECK DID SUZUKI JUST DO THAT!? Putting everything on the line and throwing caution to the wind! I haven’t seen anyone fly that high since Cloud and Azumi back in their JET days! Both Diantha and Nausicaa are not moving! The chairs seem to break Nausicaa and Diantha’s fall upon impact! We need to see this again because I still can’t believe what the hell we just witnessed!?

(An instant replay shows Nausicaa jumping off the top turnbuckle to the outside with a diving version of her signature forearm smash.)

Yuri Watanabe: One!

Maki Fujioka: The ref has restarted the count as Nausicaa and Diantha both lie near motionless onto the outside! SKY Force heads over to Nausicaa and tries to wake her up! Carlos climbs the barricade to reach Diantha and do the same! Either woman can’t be touched, or else the ref will call for a disqualification! This is no longer a battle between two athletes, but rather two superheroes! We’re seeing a clash of titans, and at this very moment, this pocket of time, these are two of the strongest women in the world giving it their all! Suzuki seems to be coming too! She slowly gets to her hands and knees! How is this possible!? The average person would be unconscious right now!

Yuri Watanabe: Two!

Maki Fujioka: Nausicaa grabbing Diantha and barely gets her over the barricade! She follows suit, hitting the floor as she climbs over the barricade herself!

Yuri Watanabe: Three!

Psycho KGB: Suzuki has Rosso by the hair and is dragging her back to the ring! SKY Force are cheering on their leader, trying to help her find some sort of strength from within! Suzuki’s straining! You can tell it’s taking everything for her to get Diantha back into the ring! She doesn’t want to win this in any old way! She wants to **beat** Diantha! It was the same attitude with Rosso earlier! Suzuki is almost there! She’s not that far from the apron! Rosso’s body is still limp at this point!

Yuri Watanabe: Four!

Maki Fujioka: You can see the marks on Nausicaa and Diantha’s bodies. There’s nothing fake about what we’re witnessing. These ladies are very much putting their well-being on the line here! Nausicaa rolls Diantha back into the ring and slides in! She makes the pin!

Yuri Watanabe: OOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Maki Fujioka: Yuri has stopped the count! Diantha’s foot is on the ropes! Nausicaa looks just as confused as I am! Carlos’ not too far away from her sister! SKY Force is pointing at him! Did he do something!

Psycho KGB: Carlos is yelling back at SKY Force! It looks like he may have snuck his hands into the ring to put Diantha’s foot on the rope, but nobody knows for certain! Judging from what I know of Diantha, she wouldn’t want to win like that! Nausicaa returns her focus back to the match as she drags Diantha to the center of the ring! She DEADLIFTS DIANTHA WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! WHAT!? DIANTHA MANAGED TO FLIP OVER HER!!

Maki Fujioka: DIANTHA COUNTERS WITH AN O‘CONNOR PIN!!! SHE HAS SUZUKI SECURED!!!

Yuri/Crowd: OOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!

Maki Fujioka: NAUSICAA KICKED OUT!!!! SUZUKI WAS A NANOSECOND FROM LOSING EVERYTHING!!! DIANTHA ROLLED OUT OF THE KICKOUT! SHE’S ON HER FEET! DIANTHA HITS THE ROPES! SHE’S GOING FOR IT! BURNING MOON!!!!

Psycho KGB: DROP TOEHOLD COUNTER BY SUZUKI! DIANTHA HITS THE MAT! Nausicaa HAS AN ARM AND HOOKS HER LEG! DESTINY!!!!! OCTOPUS HOLD!! MANJI-GATAME!!! SHE HAS HER DESTINY LOCKED IN PLACE! SHE’S DEAD CENTER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING WITH DIANTHA ROSSO, ONE OF THE GREATEST TO EVER FIGHT IN THIS RING! A SUBMISSION VICTORY OVER A TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPION WOULD CATAPULT SUZUKI TO THE GREATEST OF HEIGHTS!

Maki Fujioka: THEIR BODIES FALL ONTO THE MAT!! NAUSICAA HAS DIANTHA WHERE SHE WANTS HER, IN THE GROUNDED POSITION TO MAKE THIS TRULY HER MOMENT!! YURI WATANABE IS CHECKING ON DIANTHA, WHO’S DOING EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO STAY IN THIS! CARLOS IS CHANTING FOR HER TO STAY STRONG! NAUSICAA STILL HAS THE HOLD LOCKED IN PLACE!! DIANTHA’S SCREAMING IN ABSOLUTE PAIN!!! SHE’S IN TOTAL MISERY RIGHT NOW!!! ROSSO REFUSES TO TAP! SHE’S TRYING TO DO WHATEVER SHE CAN TO ESCAPE, BUT SHE DOESN’T HAVE THE STRENGTH!!!

Psycho KGB: THIS DOESN’T LOOK GOOD FOR DIANTHA! SHE’S FADING FAST!! WATANABE-SAN RAISES HER ARM AND IT DROPPED BACK DOWN! SUZUKI IS WRENCHING BACK THE ARM AND IS PUTTING AS MUCH PRESSURE AS SHE CAN USING THE FULL WEIGHT OF HER BODY! HOW LONG CAN NAUSICAA KEEP THIS HOLD IN PLACE!? SHE’S TAKEN AS MUCH DAMAGE IN THIS MATCH AS DIANTHA! WATANABE RAISES THE ARM AGAIN AND IT FALLS BACK ON THE MAT! DIANTHA LOOKS OUT OF IT! THE 17,000 FANS HERE IN THE FORUM IS ON THE EDGE OF THEIR SEAT!!! CARLOS IS PRACTICALLY IN TEARS! SKY FORCE IS HITTING THE BARRICADE TO KEEP THE CROWD HYPED AND ENGAGED! NAUSICAA STRETCHES HERSELF BACK ALL THE WAY!!! DIANTHA ISN’T MOVING!! WATANABE CHECKS ON THE LIONESS ONE MORE TIME…

Maki Fujioka: …

Psycho KGB: …

Carlos Rosso: …

SKY Force: …

Crowd: …

Maki Fujioka: DIANTHA’S ARM DROPS! YURI CALLS FOR THE BELL!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Maki Fujioka: DIANTHA HAS PASSED OUT!! THE LIONESS HAS BEEN SLAIN!! NAUSICAA SUZUKI HAS DEFEATED DIANTHA ROSSO AND HAS BECOME QUEEN OF THE WORLD!!

("Tsuki to Hanataba" by Sayuri plays as Nausicaa Suzuki lets go of the hold and collapses onto the mat as the crowd goes nuts!)

Fumio Demura: Your winner by submission...AND YOUR 2021 QUEEN OF THE WORLD...NAUSICAA SUZUKI!!!


Psycho KGB: She did it! Nausicaa did it! She defeated quite possibly the toughest sonovobith she’s ever faced!

Maki Fujioka: I agree! This had to be Nausicaa’s toughest battle yet! One where she couldn’t rely on her usual tactics to get her through the match! She had to risk it all to tear down the wall that is Diantha Rosso!

Psycho KGB: Nausicaa is barely conscious now as SKY Force slides into the ring to check on her! Carlos has come to their sister’s aid as medical officials check on her. It looks like Diantha has passed out from the pain. The owners of our four promotions are on standby as they assess the situation!

Maki Fujioka: As Medical staff is helping Carlos take Diantha out of the ring, Lady AKIRA and Miss Manami have entered the ring with the QOTW trophy and crown! Nausicaa is in tears as she drops to her knees. SKY Force backs away as they let their leader have her moment!

(As the ceremonial music plays, a last shot of Nausicaa donning the crowd and holding the trophy in her hand as The Forum gives her a standing ovation.)


Maki Fujioka: This has been a night to remember! Thank you for joining us! This is Maki Fujioka and with my one-time partner Psycho-

Psycho KGB: Where’s that Monica at!? She owes me dinner! A bet is a bet!

Maki Fujioka: (laughing) We wish you a goodnight and see you again next year!
