Card #7



The show starts with Gail Kim standing in the ring next to a table.

Gail Kim: Welcome to another exciting episode of Amazons. Recently we crowned our first World Champion. Well next week we will crown our first World Tag Team Champions. We will have a four team tournament. The winners will sport these belts.

She holds up one of the belts on the table. It is similar to the World title except it has silver highlights instead of purple. The face plate is silver instead of gold and has Tag Team under World.

Gail Kim: The four teams that will be Made In Sin, The Pink Ladies, Degeneration XX and...

She is cut off with entrance music playing. Out walks Nicole Matthews and like she promised she is not alone. She has another woman with her. They enter the ring.

Victoria: That's Portia Perez. She teams with Nicole on the indies as The Canadian NINJAs.

Nicole Matthews: You are looking at the fourth team. We are entering the tournament. We are winning the tournament. The Canadian NINJAs are you next, and first, XXWW World Tag Team Champions.

Gail Kim: Well, thank you for interrupting me. I was about to name another tag team but fine. To make my life easier you will be the fourth team. I just hope you ladies are up to the challenge.



Melanie Cruise beat Nicole Savoy via pinfall.

Melanie dominated the action. However, she found putting away Nicole was not easy. She hit her finisher a couple time and got a two count both times. Same thing with a big boot and with a tombstone piledriver. Finally, a third Melanie's Spine Splitter finished Nicole.

Much like after her match with Veda Scott, winning was not enough. Melanie abused Nicole. She hit a tombstone piledriver and her finisher two more times before security came down to stop her. Nicole was badly injured and needed assistance to the back.



We see for the third straight week the SMASH Wrestling ladies sitting in their usual seats. Then the camera pans to the fans behind the ring, where the hard camera faces, and see more female wrestlers sitting.

Victoria: Now what is this? Some look familiar.

Daffney: Well of course you recognize Judy Martin. She's a legend. The rest are young stars working their way up to the top. To Judy's right is second generation star Tessa Blanchard. Sitting behind them are Chelsea Green, Britt Baker and Candice LeRay.

Victoria: Yes, but unlike the SMASH ladies these women are not signed to any company. They work promotions all over the country. Mostly on the East coast but also in the Midwest and South some. Occasionally out West. So, what is their connection? Why are they here?



Shazza McKenzie over KC Spinelli by pinfall.

After a bit of back and forth Shazza got rolling and won the match after a Shaztastic Stunner.



A reminder to join us for Card #8 - Tag Your It as we crown the first XXWW World Tag Team Champions. Now it's time for our main event.



Cheerleader Melissa beat Nevaeh via pinfall in a non-title match.

The champ had the challenger on the ropes almost the whole match. Nevaeh showed her grit aa she kicked out of both of Melissa's finishers. A second Kudoh Driver allowed Melissa to get the three count.

After the bell Melanie Cruise came out to the stage and stared daggers into Cheerleader Melissa.

Card #8 - Tag You're It



Victoria: Welcome to a special Amazons as we crown our first World Tag Team Champions.

Daffney: The Canadian NINJAs pushed their way into the tournament but Gail didn't cut them any slack. They face The Pink Ladies in the first semifinal match and that's next.



The Canadian NINJAa (Nicole Matthews & Portia Perez) over The Pink Ladies (Madison Eagles & Jessie Mckay) via pinfall in a World Tag Team semifinal match to advance.

The NINJAs were on fire in the opening moments. The Pink Ladies fought back as the action really heated up. Portia tagged Nicole and they performed Funky Cold Medina on Jessie. As Nicole made the pin Portia stopped Madison from making the save. We have our first team in the finals.



Word is passed on that due to the post match attack last week, Nicole Savoy is injured and will be out awhile. Based on this attack and the one on Veda Scott, Gail Kim has suspended Melanie Cruise.



Made In Sin (Allysin Kay & Taylor Made) beat Regeneration XX (Allison Danger & Leva Bates) by pinfall in a World Tag Team semifinal match to advance.

Made In Sin came down looking focused. That carried over to the match where they rolled. They hit an Eighth Deadly Sin on Leva. Taylor covered but Leva found a way to get her shoulder up barely. Not wasting time Taylor tagged Allysin and they hit their tag finisher again. Allysin covered and got the three count. Made In Sin will face the NINJAs in the finals.



Victoria: Well, we see the ladies from SMASH are here again as well as Judy Martin and the others. Now Cherry Bomb ignored Todd when he tried to talk to the SMASH women so today, he will try and talk to Judy.

We see Todd walking down to ring side.

Todd: Well here goes nothing. Wish me luck ladies.

He makes it to where the new group sits.

Todd: Judy, can I have a moment of your time?

At that Tessa Blanchard stands up.

Tessa Blanchard: Ms. Judy Martin does not speak to one of the likes of you. If you have questions, you may direct them to me.

Todd: Fine. First the women of SMASH started coming to shows and now this group of yours? Is there any connection? Why are you here?

Tessa Blanchard: We have no connection to them. We do not know why they are here and we don't care. As for us we are liked minded individuals that have come together to learn under the tree of, this spectacular woman to my left, Ms. Judy Martin. She has extensive experience that she has generously decided to share with us. We have been running up and down the same roads. Working together and decided to come together as a group. We are the East Coast Syndicate. There is myself. Second generation and a star born and bred. Behind me we have Britt Baker D.M.D. She will knock your teeth down your throat one day and fit you for dentures the next. Next is Chelsea Green. The girl with killer looks and killer hooks. Last but not least is Candice LeRay. Don't let her size fool you. She is a beast, a force of nature. The reason we are here is simple. The East Coast Syndicate want a seat at the table. We see that XXWW is the future of women's wrestling. We want our piece of the pie. I want a shot at Cheerleader Melissa and the World title. We will just wait for Gail Kim or someone from XXWW to approach us with a contract worthy of our talent.



Saturyne defeated Marti Belle via submission.

A nice debut for Saturyne. She worked over Marti and kept trying to finish her with Rings Of Saturyne. Third time was the charm and Marti submitted.



A promo video from Melanie Cruise.

Melanie Cruise: So XXWW has suspended me? At first I was pissed but then I realized it makes sense. They want to protect their wrestlers. Especially their World Champion, Cheerleader Melissa. Especially her. As not only would I take her dignity and pride by beating her fast and in dominating fashion but also her title belt. So Melissa, I hope you thanked Gail Kim. Heck you should get on your knees and kiss her feet. You want to stay far, far away from me.



The Canadian NINJAs over Made In Sin via pinfall in a World Tag Team finals match to win the titles.

Made In Sin were all over Portia Perez in first few minutes. She was able to make the hot tag to Nicole. The action went back and forth before Portia hit Divorce Court on Allysin Kay and pinned her, with a handful of tights. We have our inaugural World Tag Team Champions. The ref goes to hand the belts to Nicole and Portia who rip them from his hands. Then they go the camera and gloat.

Nicole Matthews: You guys tried to bury me from day one. But cream always rises to the top. Sorry to ruin your plans Gail. But me and Portia have the tag belts and no one is taking them from us. I hope you learned your lesson.

Card #9



Solo Darling w/Marti Belle over Saturyne via pinfall.

A solid match that saw both ladies have spurts of offense. Early on it seemed Saruryne might get the win but when she went to the top rope Marti pushed her off and she crashed onto the mat. Later Saturyne hit a couple suicide dives onto Solo on the floor. A third try missed and she crashed and burned. Solo with some offense that ended with her Tailspin finisher and the pin.



World Champion Cheerleader Melissa walks with purpose into Gail Kim's office.

Cheerleader Melissa: I need you to unsuspend Melanie Cruise and give me a match with her.

Gail Kim: Calm down Melissa. You know Melanie said what she did to get in your head. Don't let her mind games work you.

Cheerleader Melissa: Yea I know and I don't care. I want her so I can show her who the big dog around here is.

Gail Kim: All right. If that is what you want. You will face her next week in the main event. Also, the World title will be on the line.

Cheerleader Melissa: Fine by me.



Taeler Hendrix over Saraya Knight by disqualification.

This was a rematch from their match on card #6 when Hendrix lost her cool and got DQ'd. Early on it looked like Knight was on the way to a victory as she tried both of her finishers. The match went to the floor near the SMASH women. Cherry Bomb was talking smack toward Hendrix and it angered Hendrix. She took it out on Knight before returning to the ring. A bit later the two ladies battled to the floor again. Knight put Hendrix in a full nelson and held her in front of Cherry Bomb. With Knight's encouragement Cherry Bomb slapped Hendrix. The ref saw it and called for the bell.

Saraya Knight released Taeler Hendrix and started arguing with the ref. Hendrix grabbed Cherry Bomb and pulled her over the railing. Hendrix mounted Cherry Bomb and rained blows on her. Courtney Rush and Vanessa Kraven jumped the barricade and attacked Hendrix. The camera catches Tessa Blanchard stand up over where the East Coast Syndicate were sitting. It looked like she was about to get involved when Judy Martin put out a hand to stop her and motion to sit back down. Tessa did as she was instructed, sitting and watching intently. Security came out and separated the women. They escorted Hendix to the back and the women of SMASH out of the arena.



Allison Danger beat Madison Eagles via pinfall.

Allison was all over Madison from right after the opening bell. She made pin attempt after pin attempt but Madison kept kicking out. Then Madison fought back however it did not last long. Allison hit Shimmering Warlock and covered Madison for the three.

Card #10



Standing in front of the camera in her office is Gail Kim.

Gail Kim: We will get to our exciting action in just a moment. I need to make some announcements first. Based on what happened last week the three ladies have been banned from Amazons until further notice. If they get tickets in any way and show up, they will be escorted out. In addition, Taeler Hendrix is suspended this week. No matter what a fan does an XXWW wrestler should not attack them in that matter.

Now on to better news. Tonight, based on her request, Cheerleader Melissa will defend the World Championship against Melanie Cruise whose suspension has been lifted. Now, who will be next in line to challenge for the top prize? Well, we have cooked up something interesting to give all the ladies who want a shot the chance to earn one. We will unveil this concept, which we are calling the Artemis Challenge, next week. Now it is time to go to the action.



Athena defeated Xandra Bale by pinfall.

Athena dominated most of the action. Xandra had short spurts of offense but nothing substantial. Athena hit her finisher, O-Face, a second time and Xandra kicked out again. Athena quickly followed up with a springboard DDT and earned the victory.



Victoria and Daffney point out how the women of SMASH are not here as they are banned but the East Coast Syndicate are also not in the audience.

A video replay of Melanie Cruise beating down Nicole Savoy post-match 3 weeks ago. Nicole was hurt but she's been cleared to wrestle and is in the next match.



Solo Darling and Marti Belle over Saturyne and Nicole Savoy by pinfall.

Nicole had her left shoulder taped up as it was still injured. This was a long, hard-fought match. Solo and Marti had Saturyne in trouble but she avoided getting pinned a couple times then made the hot tag. Nicole started good then she found herself in trouble. Eventually she made a much-needed tag. Saturyne got on a roll. Came close to beating Marti before Marti made a much-needed tag. Solo was soon in trouble. She was able to turn things around after grabbing her sugar drink and getting a rush. A couple minutes later a Candy Crush on Saturyne led to the pin.



The camera goes to the back and we see Gail Kim walking in the back being followed by the women of the East Coast Syndicate. They reach her office; she opens the door and gestures for them to enter. Judy Martin leads her group into the office. Gail Kim then goes in, shutting the door behind her.

Daffney: What was that all about? What going on?

Victoria: I wish I knew.



Cheerleader Melissa beat Melanie Cruise via pinfall in a World Championship match to retain.

When Melissa entered the ring, she walked right up to Melanie and got in her face. She wanted to show she wasn't scared of Melanie. When the bell rang to start the match, she did it again. Melanie placed her hand on Melissa's face and pushed her away. Melissa exploded and was all over Melanie. She didn't let up one iota. Two straight Curb Stomp and she made the cover. The ref counted three. An impressive win for Melissa.

As Melissa was having her arm raised Melanie gave her a clothesline from behind to lay her out. Melanie went to the floor to grab a chair. She slides it into the ring then rolled in herself. Before she could grab it, a voice called her name. The jumbotron comes on and we see Veda Scott, who has been out injured from an attack by Melanie, sitting in a chair. She has a white cat in her lap that she is petting.

Veda Scott: Melanie Cruise. Do you remember me? You were not happy with beating me in a match. You attacked me after. You injured me and I still haven't been cleared to wrestle. So, I have had to find another way to get my revenge.

Suddenly Cat Power enters the ring behind Melanie. She grabs the chair and smashes it against Melanie's back. Melanie falls to her knees. A second swing of the chair has her crash first face down onto the mat. During the attack by Cat Power, Veda Scott just laughed.

Card #11



The show starts with a huge announcement. The members of East Coast Syndicate have signed with XXWW. Chelsea Green and Britt Baker, known collectively as Fire and Nice, will make their debut tonight. Then we go to the ring where we see Gail Kim standing next to a table.

Gail Kim: With so many women wanting a shot at the World title we here at XXWW have come up with a concept to give them all a chance. It is the Artemis Challenge. We will have special matches where the participants will have to earn one of these.

She grabs something off the table and holds it up. It's a medal on a ribbon, much like they hand out at the Olympics.

Gail Kim: There are a total of three of these to be earned. Once three wrestlers have one, they will turn them in and have a Three-Way Dance. Two will lose and one will win. The winner earns this.

She places the medal on the table and picks up an arrow of gold.

Gail Kim: The Golden Arrow. The lady who holds this gets to call her shot. She can show she is a true warrior and let the champion know when she is coming for her. She can face the champion on an even battle field. Or she can be the opportunistic hunter and wait for when her prey is hurt and most vulnerable, like right after a match. It will be up to the holder of the Golden Arrow when and where she calls her shot. It should make for some exciting action.



Nevaeh beat Shazza McKenzie via pinfall.

Nevaeh made short work of Shazza and put her away with her Backpack Stunner finisher.



An announcement that next week's main event will be a non-title rematch as the World Tag Team champions face the team they beat for those titles, Made In Sin.



Fire and Nice (Chelsea Green and Britt Baker) w/Judy Martin over Regeneration XX by pinfall.

Leva Bates came out dressed in a yellow biker body suit like The Bride from Kill Bill. She should have held onto her Katana sword for the match as she was dominated by the ladies from East Coast Syndicate. Fire and Nice looked impressive and they ended the match after a Famouser & Curb Stomp combo. Chelsea Green rolled Leva up and before Allison Danger could do anything the ref counted three.



We see a man in black slacks and button up shirt with a purple silk tie standing in front of the camera. He is straightening his tie and asking the camera man when they will start. When he is told they are rolling he looks flustered.

M.H. Henry: Oh, we are? Um ok. Hi, my name is M.H. Henry. I am the Mayor of Parts Unknown. The G.O.A.T. Harder. And I'm coming to XXWW. I will gather only the best and most talented to join my stable. I will open doors for those lucky ladies. I'm talking shoe deals. TV talk show appearances. And most of all, title belts. So, I will be seeing you in XXWW real soon. Ladies, start lining up now.

The camera pulls back and we see the M.H. Henry is standing at the counter of a fast food joint, an employee standing there looking at him.

Employee: Um, so does that mean you DO want fries with your order?



Melanie Cruise beat Cat Power via disqualification.

Cruise was out for blood because of the beat down Cat Power gave her last week. She was dominating the match. She hit a tombstone piledriver on Cat Power. The ref began the count and at two Cruise lifted Cat Power's head and back off the mat. She tossed Cat Power out of the ring a couple times and waited for her to climb back in.

Cruise hit her finisher and it seemed like that was it. But again, Cruise lifted Cat Power up before the three count. Cruise seemed she wanted to send a message. Not only to Cat Power but to Veda Scott. Again, she tossed Cat Power out to the floor but this time she went out after her. The two ladies unleashed with fury into each other. Cat Power finally got some licks in. Then she reached under the ring and pulled out a kendo stick. The ref told her not to use it but she ignored him and smacked Cruise with it. The ref DQ'd her. Cat Power got in some more whacks before security came down and got her to return to the back. Cruise slowly recovered and when she finally stood up she had a look on her face that could kill.

Card #12



Saraya Knight beat Athena by pinfall.

An even match for a couple minutes then Saraya got hot. She kept taking it to Athena, including both her finishers, but Athena would not go down easily. Saraya tossed Athena out of the ring a few times and waited on her. One time Athena barely made it in before the ten count. Eventually a side suplex took the last of the fight out of Athen and she was pinned.



There is some commotion in the crowd to the right of the ring. The ladies of SMASH are back and they sit in their usual seats.

Victoria: What are they doing back here? Who let them in?



We see an angry Melanie Cruise storm down to the ring.

Melanie Cruise: Last week I got attacked by Cat Power and I'm not happy about it. So, I want her in a match...NOW!!!

There is a pause then the jumbotron turns on and we see Veda Scott.

Veda Scott: Melanie, Melanie, Melanie. You are not happy? I'm not happy. First off, you were not pinned or made to submit. Second off, you are here and not in a hospital bed. So, you want the Cat?

We see Melanie pacing the ring as Veda talked and then nods her head in answer.

Veda Scott: Fine. You get the Cat. But not Cat Power. No, you get...Pizza Cat.

With that a wrestler comes out with green hair and wearing a helmet with horns.

Victoria: Pizza Cat?

Daffney: I know her. Her name is Shotzi Blackheart. She used to go by Pizza Cat for a hot minute but it's been a while.



Pizza Cat over Melanie Cruise by disqualification.

Pizza Cat was in control early and was looking good. Then the powerful Melanie started fighting back. After a couple unsuccessful pin attempts, she took the action to the floor. Melanie lost her cool, grabbed the metal ring stairs and smashed them into Pizza Cat's head. The ref called for the DQ.

It looked like she was about to do more damage when another woman came running out from the back and stopped her. The two started brawling as security came out to break them up.

Victoria: That's Thunderkitty. What is her beef with Melanie Cruise?

Daffney: Actually, I'm starting to see a pattern here.



A promo showing when Gail Kim introduced the Artemis Challenge. Next week we will have them first opportunity for someone to win a medal.



Made In Sin beat The Canadian NINJAs by pinfall in a non title match.

Portia Perez unloaded on Taylor Made with fists early on. Taylor rode out the storm and quickly put Portia in trouble. She tagged Allysin Kay and they hit their finisher Eighth Deadly Sin. As Kay went for the pin Taylor rushed Nicole Matthews to stop her from making the save. The ref counted three, missing Allysin using the ropes for leverage, and Made In Sin won the match. They didn't win the titles but odds are they won a title match sooner rather than later.





PWI News and Notes: Rumor has it Athena wrestled her last match with XXWW. She is leaving to sign with NXT.

[on_the_edge]

Card #13


The show starts with an announcement that an agreement has been made between XXWW, SMASH Wrestling and the women of SMASH that have been in the audience of shows. What exactly the agreement is has not been revealed. We then see the women sitting in their usual seats to the right of the ring.



Victoria: Welcome to another exciting Amazons. Our opening match came out of a post-match attack last week. Thunderkitty came down and brawled with Melanie Cruise. So they are in this match.

Daffney: It should be a hard-hitting affair as Thunderkitty is one of the few ladies that can match strength with Cruise.



Melanie Cruise over Thunderkitty by pinfall.

Thunderkitty was overpowering Cruise early in the match. Then she tossed Cruise into the corner and Cruise bounced out of it and leveled Thunderkitty with a lariat. From there she unleashed a fury of offense for a couple minutes and ended the match with a Melanie's Spine Splitter. After the bell Cruise asked for a mic.

Melanie Cruise: Veda Scott, you have been on the injured list long enough. By now you are just hiding from me. You better have you ass here next week. Otherwise, you will force me to come looking for you and you don't want that. Trust me.



A promo for tonight's main event, the first match in the Artemis Challenge.



Shazza McKenzie is in the ring for the next match when Bon Jovi's Bad Medicine starts playing.

Daffney: That's the entrance music that the "Canadian Assassin" Courtney Rush uses.

The camera swings to the SMASH women. Cherry Bomb points to the ring. Courtney Rush has a big smile cross her face and she hops over the barricade and enters the ring.



Courtney Rush defeats Shazza McKenzie via submission.

Early on Shazza had Rush confused and was out wrestling Rush. Then the Canadian Assassin fought back. She had Shazza in an Indian deathlock. Shazza was able to get a rope break. Rush motioned for her to get up. When Shazza did Rush rocked her with her Spear of Destiny finisher. Shazza got her leg on the rope for a break of the pin. Rush dragged her into the middle of the ring and applied Indian deathlock once more. Shazza could not take it or escape so she was forced to tap. The SMASH women get their first win in XXWW. After the match Rush returned to her seat with the other SMASH ladies.



World Champion Cheerleader Melissa is in back with Todd.

Todd: So, Melissa what are your thoughts on this Artemis Challenge?

Melissa: It's a great concept. It gives a lot of ladies the chance to challenge for this. (she pats her title belt on her shoulder) I look forward to facing whoever wins the Challenge.

Todd: Who do you think you will face before we get a Challenge winner?

Melissa: It really doesn't matter to me. I plan on being a fighting champion.

Just then Judy Martin and Tessa Blanchard walk by and Tessa gives a smirk toward Melissa.



Madison Eagles beat Allison Danger by pinfall in an Artemis Challenge match.

Madison was all over Allison soon as the bell rang. She did not let Allison catch her breath and quickly finished her off with Hell Bound. The ref handed her the first of three medals. She put it over head and wore it proudly. Who will win the other two medals and face Madison for the Golden Arrow?

Card #14


Standing in the ring as the show starts is Melanie Cruise.

Melanie Cruise: I've heard you are here Veda Scott. So, bring you ass out here so I can begin kicking it.

After a short wait Veda Scott comes out to the stage.

Veda Scott: You want a fight? You want a fight? Is that what you want?!!

Melanie Cruise nods her head and motions for Veda to come down the ramp and enter the ring. She doesn't notice someone come out of the crowd and slide into the ring.

Victoria: That's Allie Kat.

Allie Kat levels Melanie with a Lari-Cat from behind. She then yells at the ref to start the match.



Allie Kat w/Veda Scott beats Melanie Cruise by pinfall.

Allie was rocking Melanie early on. But as we've seen often, Melanie fought back. She was using her power advantage to brutalize Allie. Veda Scott encouraged her wrestler to get going. That is what Allie did. She hit a pump kick and covered for a two count. She quickly followed up with her Pussycat Piledriver finisher. She covered and got the win.

Veda Scott was so excited. She got in the ring to celebrate with Allie. Then she waved toward the back. Cat Power and Thunderkitty came running out. They entered the ring and all four women started stomping on Melanie. Then Cat Power and Thunderkitty lift Melanie and hit a double powerbomb on her. As Melanie lays on the mat Veda places a foot on her. All four ladies stand tall and pose.



An announcement that next week there will be another Artemis Challenge match.



Vanessa Kravan over Mrs. X via pinfall.

Back from commercial and Mrs. X is standing in the ring. When Vanessa is announced she hops over the railing from where the SMASH wrestlers are sitting as usual. Towering over Mrs. X it is obvious why Vanessa is called The Mountain. Vanessa dominated the match. Her first couple pin covers were casual and X kicked out. She then hit her finisher, Sitout Powerbomb, and made a proper cover for the three count.



In the back Veda Scott, Cat Power, Thunderkitty and Allie Kat are celebrating while Todd stands by watching.

Veda Scott: Todd, you are looking at the group I put together. Feline Fury. But someone is missing. Where's Pizza Cat?

With that Shotzi Blackheart walks up.

Shotzi Blackheart: Hey Veda I appreciate the offer to join your group but it's not for me. I agreed to wrestle as Pizza Cat again just for that match. I'm Shotzi Blackheart. I'm doing my own thing. However, if you ever need some help, I'm here for you.

Veda Scott: Well, I'm disappointed but I understand. Same for you, we are here if you need us.

The two hug then Shotzi walks off.



The Canadian NINJAs beat Made In Sin by pinfall in a World Tag Team Championship match to retain.

It took a bit but the champs cornered Taylor Made on their side of a ring. They hit their tag finisher, Funky Cold Medina, but Taylor kicked out. Nicole hit her finisher but another kick out. A bit later the champs hit their finisher again. This time Allysin ran in and broke up the cover. The champs would not be denied. Nicole hit Vancouver Maneuver on Taylor. As she went for the cover Portia, who made her way to other side of the ring, pulled Allysin off the apron. The ref counted three.

Card #15



Victoria and Daffney welcome us to the show and tell us we are starting off with an Artemis Challenge match.



Saturyne defeated KC Spinelli by submission in an Artemis Challenge match.

After a couple minutes where both women tried to gain the advantage, it was KC who got it first. She was overpowering Saturyne. She hit her finisher not once, not twice but three times over the next several minutes. Each time Saturyne kicked out. KC couldn't believe it meanwhile the fans started getting behind Saturyne. Saturyne showed her toughness by refusing to go down easily. She fought back and put KC in her Rings of Saturyne finisher. They were in the middle of the ring. KC tried to hold out but she eventually had to submit. What an impressive win for Saturyne. She is handed her medal after the match. We have two winners, as she joins Madison Eagles, and just need one more before they can compete for the Golden Arrow.



An announcement that XXWW officials have been traveling the world looking for the best talent. They have found some amazing international talent who will be making their XXWW debuts over the next several weeks.



Cat Power & Thunderkitty w/Veda Scott and Allie Kat beat Fire and Nice w/Judy Martin by pinfall.

The ladies of Feline Fury made their entrance stopping on the stage and put their left hands up in a claw shape and made a clawing action. Judy Martin led the East Coast Syndicate's tag team. Fire and Nice had control of Cat Power early on. First it was Britt Baker then it was Chelsea Green. Cat Power battled back and tagged out. Thunderkitty lit up Chelsea. She hit a back suplex and rolled up Chelsea for the three. It happened so fast neither Britt or Judy reacted in time to stop it.



Tessa Blanchard and Judy Martin walk into Gail Kim's office.

Judy Martin: Tessa Blanchard is ready for a World title shot. When does she get it?

Gail Kim: And hello to you. Yes, I'm doing fine, and you? Are you serious? A title match? She hasn't even had a match in XXWW yet. But I know she is talented. So I will put her in the Artemis Challenge.

Tessa Blanchard: Fine. Put me in with Madison and Saturyne. I can beat them both.

Gail Kim: Actually, you have to win the last medal first before you can face them. But I love your gumption. Since you say you can beat two women the last qualifying match for this round of the Challenge will be a Triple Threat. You vs two opponents which I will announce next week and that match will be in two weeks. Thanks for the great idea.

Tessa glares at Gail Kim.



Cherry Bomb beat Solo Darling via pinfall.

As has been their style, Cherry Bomb entered from the seating area and got in the ring after her introduction. Solo had the leader of the SMASH women on her heels. Solo was rocking Cherry Bomb and made a pin attempt. This wasn't Cherry Bomb's first rodeo however and she found a way to get on the attack. She put the Woodland Warrior away with Anger As Beauty.

After winning Cherry Bomb started kicking Solo and motioned for Courtney Rush and Vanessa Kraven to join her in the ring. It seems Cherry Bomb was mad about Solo showing her up early in the match. They were really laying into her when Marti Belle, Solo's recent tag partner, came running down with a chair. This caused the SMASH ladies to cautiously back up. Then KC Spinelli ran down with a chair of her own to back Marti up. Kravan slowly advanced on Marti. That drew Marti's attention at which time KC swung her chair into Marit's back. Marti dropped her chair and fell onto her knees. Then the SMASH women were on her like a pack of rabid dogs. KC joined them in the beat down. After a minute or so of that all four ladies stood over the laid-out bodies of Solo and Marti.

Victoria: I can't believe what I just saw. How could KC do that?

Daffney: Actually, it's not that surprising. KC has wrestled in SMASH before and even tagged with Courtney a few times. It's possible she was with them all along. She might have been an inside man giving them info.

Fans rain boos on the four ladies as they smile and pose.

Card #16



The show starts with Gail Kim standing in the ring. Before she starts talking the camera shows KC Spinelli sitting in the front row with the SMASH women.

Gail Kim: Last week Tessa Blanchard came to me and requested to be in the Artemis Challenge. So next week she will be in the third qualifier of this Challenge. That match will be a Triple Threat where the winner is the first to secure a pinfall or submission. Her opponents will be Cat Power...and Allie Kat. Good luck next week ladies.

Victoria: Wow that's huge news. Not only will Tessa have to face two opponents but both are teammates on Feline Fury.

Daffney: The deck seems stacked against her. On the other side of the equation Veda Scott must be very happy. Her team has a 2/3 chance of winning a medal. Add in a 2/5 bonus as both are cat based named wrestlers and they have a 125% chance of winning. Hashtag Steiner math.



We see a promo video for one of the international stars XXWW signed, Tomoka Nakagawa. Her debut match is next.



Tomoka Nakagawa over Hudson Envy by pinfall.

Tomoka was in control from start to finish. Hudson stood strong as she kept kicking out. Finally, a sliding lariat finished her off. Nice debut for Tomoka.



In the East Coast Syndicate locker room, we see Tessa complaining to Judy Martin about her match next week. Judy tells her to calm down. She said they would figure it out but right now she has to accompany Candice for her match. Judy and Candice walk off leaving Tessa looking shocked.



Shotzi Blackheart over Candice LeRae w/Judy Martin via disqualification.

The momentum swayed from one lady to the other for a few minutes. Then the action spilled out to the floor. Shotzi was beating Candice down. Judy distracted the ref when the two ladies were near the announcers table. Candice grabbed a monitor and smashed it into Shotzi's head. She would have been fine if she stopped there. But she wrapped the monitor cables around Shotzi's neck and choked her. The ref turned around and saw it. He called for the bell.

Judy and Candice got in the ring to argue with the ref. As they did Shotzi was able to recover some. She got in the ring and attacked Candice. She mounted Candice and was raining blows on her when Judy kicked her in the head. Then the two ladies gave Shotzi a beat down until refs came out and pulled them off of Shotzi.



A video shows a graveyard late at night. A fog slowly drifts thru the headstones. The camera focuses on one headstone, the info obscured by the fog. A hand slowly comes up from behind the headstone and grabs the top of it.

Daffney: Ok, that was creepy.

Victoria: And how. I wonder what it is all about.



Marti Belle w/Solo Darling over Courtney Rush w/KC Spinelli by pinfall.

Marti came down with Solo who was showing signs of injuries from last week's attack. Then Rush hopped over the railing, followed by KC who seems will be in Rush's corner. Rush was dominating Marti for the first couple minutes. A couple pin attempts with no success. It seemed Rush was getting close to trying her finisher when Marti stunned her with a bulldog and a close two count. Marti quickly hit her finisher, Hell's Bells, and stunned Rush allowing her to get the pin.

Everyone seemed shocked but Marti was celebrating. Then KC leveled her from behind with a lariat. She and Rush were putting the boots to Marti when Solo slid in the ring with a chair to chase them off.



A promo for next week's main event. The final Artemis Challenge medal will be on the line in a Triple Threat match as Tessa Blanchard makes her XXWW in ring debut against Feline Fury members Cat Power and Allie Kat.



Leva Bates beat Taeler Hendrix via pinfall.

Leva came out dressed as a member of GI Joe's enemy Cobra. When Taeler came out she kept shooting dirty looks at the SMASH women. Cherry Bomb smiled and blew kisses at her. Taeler was fuming but since she was recently suspended, she kept her cool.

Shortly after the bell Taeler grabbed Leva's head and gave her a deep kiss that had a lot of the fans hooting and hollering. After they were done Leva stood there shocked. Then she got a big smile on her face. She stuck out a finger and wiggled it to tell Taeler to come to her. The crowd was getting more hyped. Taeler looked around at the crowd. Then she shrugged her shoulders, smiled and walked over. As she leaned in for another kiss Leva grabbed her head with both hands and blasted her with a vicious headbutt. While not what the fans wanted some cheered as others booed. With Taeler extremely stunned Leva started taking her apart. She hit Critical Confirmation and got the pin. Leva stood up and before leaving the ring gave a "Hail Cobra" shout.
