We come in to sold out PPG Paints Arena! A huge pyro set goes off over the stage as we cut to the announce table!
Eddie Red Apples: We are just 8 short days away from our next exclusive pay-per-view event! But the blue brand still has one more step to go before we truly invade the Steel City! Welcome to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Eddie Red Apples joined as always by the multi-talented Amber Westgate!
Amber Westgate: Multi-talented? Aww you shouldn’t have!
Eddie Red Apples: I saw you on those roller blades, you got skills!
Amber Westgate: Well you know who else has skills? The people we’ve got in our matches tonight! Three Victory Series Qualifying Matches and a huge Trios Match to start things off!
The camera pans in on a woman standing on a black ship crossing an ocean of red. The woman keeps her eyes focused on the front, while the taller woman comes and joins her from the side, Legion flipped her hood down, looking then turns around having Ms. J follow her, along the walkway between her rowers. She sees the camera there watching, as she smiled softly her purple eyes lit up, as she passed motioning. Ms. J motions for them to follow the Queen as she heads up to her throne, looking down, looking at the vast areas which covered the area.
”the Queen” Legion: Last week should have not ended as such, it makes it look like the Queen does not take her challengers seriously. See Chelsea Skye, you were worthy of the chance, but your personal issues seemed to be the thing that got in our way. You may have beaten us and been given passage to pass us, but there is still blood on your hands.
Legion then turns sitting down on her throne, motioning as two of the crewmen bring up a chair, Legion motions for the cameraman to sit down across from her. Legion then flicks her cape open, with her ring gear already on. She looked over at him, having Ms. J bring her some water, Ms. J also offered the cameraman one who took it from her, then Legion opened the bottle taking a drink before continuing.
”the Queen” Legion: Tonight it’s not about us, or this.
She taps her mid section where the YouTube Title rested. She then looks at him, smirking a abit.
”the Queen” Legion: Tonight is about an opportunity, to take people out. Those who have dared step to us, understand that our patience is tested regularly. Hebi No Rengo, to make this simple and sweet for you. We don’t have our usual protectors and watchers on our side, but we will be damn sure, that there can be no chance. See this team may even implode, but that’s ok, because there is three people and one common enemy among us, and that my dears is you!
Legion stands up, looking at Ms. J who is coming back up the stairs holding the chest, she places it down next to Legion, Legion, then motions to the cameraman who knows about the gold, taking them out of his pocket. Legion lifts the chest lid, and the cameraman brings the two coins, over to the chest filled with coins and jewels. As the cameraman reached for the green colored gem, Legion slams the lid shut, the cameraman pulled his hand away.
”the Queen” Legion: There is no touching the Queen’s gems. Ladies, Thora, Chelsea, Hebi, We will see you all shortly.
Legion then snaps her fingers and the chest disappears. The cameraman sees the door. He moves towards it, as Legion turns to him, getting her jacket from Ms. J.
”the Queen” Legion: Memento Mori!
She cackles, the cameraman closing the door behind him. Legion appears next to him, holding the Youtube Championship on her shoulder, walking along with Ms. J.
Match #1: Legion, Chelsea Skye, & THORA vs Hebi No Rengo (Tornado Trios Match)
Alex Lawson: The following contest…is a Tornado Trios Match…scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: Introducing first…from Chicago, Illinois…weighing in at 123 lbs…”The Nightmare Angel”...Chelsea! Skye!
Up next…from Fairbanks, Alaska…weighing in at 137 lbs…”The Mighty”! THORA!
And their partner…representing The Hive…from Aokigahara, Japan….weighing in at 138 lbs…she is the Zion Wrestling YouTube Champion…”The Queen”...Legion!
And their opponents…at a combined weight of 383 lbs…the team of Hayumi Yamamoto, Lien Kamiya, and Akira Fujimoto…Hebi! No Rengo!
Eddie Red Apples: And there we go, we’ve just been given the names of the pair who have been giving Chelsea Skye and THORA grief over the past few weeks! Lien Kamiya and Akira Fujimoto have come to Zion to be Hayumi Yamamoto’s new running mates! Let’s see how they fare here tonight!
Amber Westgate: Hebi No Rengo has the edge in regards to teamwork! These two have functioned like a well oiled machine since coming together! Meanwhile, despite The Lightning Thief and Nightmare Angel being good friends, Legion would rather be anywhere else than in this match teaming with them!
Eddie Red Apples: Fair point, Amber! But let’s not forget that Legion is the YouTube Champion for a reason! These three encroached on her territory last week when they disrupted the Queen’s Gambit! Right now she might be looking to put these three in their place and show them why Fusion is her Queendom!
At the bell all six women clash with each other immediately. Legion and Lien trade punches near the middle of the ring. THORA and Hayumi fight their way to the ropes and THORA clotheslines her over the top and follows her out of the ring. Chelsea tries to whip Akira to the apron, but Akira reverses and tosses her on the apron. Akira steps between the ropes and drops Chelsea on her back on the apron. Legion gets the upper hand and swings around behind for the belly-to-back suplex!
Lien rolls out of the ring as Chelsea and Akira take each other off the apron. Legion looks at the five out of the ring and then right into the hard cam and gives a shrug as she sprints to the ropes and dives through. She slams into Lien and causes a domino effect that takes everyone down. Legion grabs Lien by the hair and swings her into the ring and slides in behind to go for the pin!
ONE…
TWO…
Lien kicks out and Legion rolls her over on her back and locks in a rear chinlock. THORA stands on the outside and gets driven into the barricade by Hayumi. Chelsea hits a forearm into Hayumi’s back right before Akira hits a chop block. Akira grabs Chelsea and pulls her to her feet as Skye grabs at her leg. Akira turns them and then suplexes Chelsea back first on to the barricade! Akira pulls Hayumi to her feet and THORA takes them both down with a running crossbody!
Legion still has Lien locked in a hold on the inside and plays her hand at some joint manipulation as she transitions from chin to wrist. Legion stands and then stomps on Lien’s wrist. Legion grabs the arm and locks it behind an arm trapped STF! THORA looks to hold off Hayumi and Akira, but they rush her together and Hayumi gets into the ring. Hayumi dives on top of Legion to break the hold. Akira swings THORA into the ring and slides in behind her.
Akira runs at Legion as she stands and hits a hurricanrana! Akira then runs at THORA and hits a corner assisted tornado DDT! Legion works to stand as Hayumi hits her with a shining wizard! Lien gets to her feet and grabs Legion to pull her up. She hits a bridging northern lights suplex and holds it for a pin!
ONE…
TWO…
THORA breaks it up! Akira and Hayumi attack her like wild dogs and take her down to the mat. They stomp on her in the corner as Chelsea gets back on the apron. Skye pulls back on the ropes and springboards into the ring to hit the ANGEL’S RECKONING on Akira! The springboard x-factor! Hayumi grabs Chelsea, but Skye shoves her away and then sprints at her FOR JUSTIN! Slingblade! Chelsea stomps in a circle as she’s feeling it now.
Lien with the dropkick! Chelsea stumbles into the corner! Lien puts her hand to her mouth. POINT BREAK! THORA with the superkick and Lien blows blue mist up into the air as she collapses to the mat and rolls out of the ring! Akira with the running pump kick! THORA eats all of it and collapses to the mat. Chelsea throws a forearm at Akira but she ducks it and hits the KAMIKAZE DRIVER! The Michinoku driver plants Chelsea. Akira goes for the pin!
Legion punts her in the head. Legion leans on the ropes as she looks at the mayhem in and around the ring. She pulls Hayumi to her feet and hits her with an uranage! Akira hits a kick to Legion’s gut. Then the KAMIKAZE DRIVER! She flattens Legion! Akira pulls Legion in and wraps her up in a dragon sleeper!. She has the dragon sleeper locked in! Legion fights it as Hayumi looks to wrap the body scissors around her.
Legion avoids the body scissors and works her way to her feet. She forces Akira to release the hold and spins around into STARLIGHT BOOSTER! Akira stumbles in place and then falls to her hands and knees. Legion bounces off the ropes and then hits SHATTERED REALMS! Stomp flattens Akira! Legion rolls away and THORA scrambles over for the pin!
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Alex Lawson: The winners of this match…Chelsea Skye, THORA, and The YouTube Champion…Legion!
Hayumi hits her a moment too late to break up the pin! And now Lien hits THORA and they’re stomping on her! Legion steps away and leans against the corner as Hebi No Rengo assaults THORA! Chelsea hits the ring and looks at Legion in confusion and then runs at the trio. Lien stops her in place and hits the BLACK LOTUS DRIVER! The tiger driver puts Chelsea down and they continue the assault!
Legion exits the ring, grabs her title and slowly walks up the ramp as Akira and Hayumo pull Thora to her feet and hit SNAKE BITE! Shatter machine on Thora! Security officials run down the ramp as Hebi No Rengo looks down at their fallen victims and Legion disappears behind the curtain.
WINNERS: LEGION, CHELSEA SKYE, & THORA
RESULT: PINFALL
Last week
Christina watches the loop, each time, the anger building on her face before she can't take it anymore. She charges right at Morgana who drops to the floor just before Christina can get her hands on her. Morgana looks up at Christina, pulling something out and tossing it into the ring at Christina's feet before she winks and just skips back up the ramp, hands behind her back.
Christina looks down and picks up the item at her feet and stares at it as the camera zooms in on it, showing that it's a half heart necklace and on Christina's face, you can tell it means something to her. She notices a piece of paper attached to it and pulls it off, reading what was on it. The scowl on her face grows as she crumples the paper and tosses it down before she hops out of the ring and walks up the ramp with a clear purpose.
Now - Asheville, NC
Christina Olson’s eyes are still as purposeful as last week, perhaps even more so. The paper she’d crumpled up and threw. She uncrumples it, barely legible beneath how crinkled the paper is. It reads ”Come alone, our favorite tree spot.“
Christina takes a moment to reread silently. She looks up, there’s a rustle of her feet walking along in the forest. She knows where exactly she needed to go, she’s been here plenty of times. “And…”
The pink-haired young woman approaches a clearing. Lily used to run all around this little spot. She tried to climb every tree at least once. There was one giant stump that Lily liked to share and sit on and it “Should be right around…”
Christina turned her head, tilting it at what she saw. Another piece of paper with her name on it, and one single, light blue ticket. She picked up the ticket. On it were two words.
ADMIT ONE.
Christina's confused by this, studying it.
Suddenly from behind her, a soft voice speaks up.
“You surprised us, Chrissy, we didn’t think you’d actually come alone…” The voice giggles. Christina turns around to see none other than Morgana Summers. She blows a blue mist in her face. Christina falls to the ground, the camera lingering on the ticket she just drops.
We open with Marina Flores interviewing Serena Riot. Serena has a happy-go-lucky smile on her face and her brown and orange facepaint on with the Cleveland Browns logo painted on as well, previewing what’s to come ahead of Invasion: Steel City. The fans in Pittsburgh audibly boo her as she just laughs it off.
Marina Flores:
Serena, thanks for joining me right now, and as you can hear, it’s a pretty hostile crowd!
Serena Riot:
Of course it is chica! But let’s be real, I love the fans, but…This ain’t Cleveland. Come on Pittsburgh, I gotta’ have some fun with y’all!
Marina Flores:
I’m glad to see you having so much fun! We saw last week on ZION in a Tag match featuring yourself and The Crown going up against The Privileged Elite. What are your thoughts on the match, and where does this put you against Angel Kash?
Serena’s demeanor suddenly changes. She rolls her eyes and puts her head down for a brief, minor second.
Serena Riot:
I’m gonna’ be real. It’s always a treat teaming with those two bomb-ass girls. I mean, Eden just never backs down. Period. And Ash is someone who I know has my back whenever we’re out there together. So to have them in my corner and to have them right by my side meant the world to me. Now when you pit us against Summer Page, Cassie Lopez and Angel Kash? Yeah. There’s going to be some tension.
Serena Riot:
But the reality is…The GOAT’ed Crown came out as winners. And the thing about Angel is now I have her figured out. Now I get it. And trust me, when I smashed her face into that disgusting weiner-mobile, I’ll admit I chuckled. But most importantly she saw the side of me that many others have seen. And regardless if it was The One Off Queen side. Or The GOAT side…Or…The Fallen Prophet…It doesn’t matter. Come Steel City she’s getting a harsh dose of all three sides.
Serena Riot
There’s only one thing—
WHAPPP!!!! Suddenly Angel Kash hits Serena’s head from behind!!! The fans boo loudly as Angel stomps away looking on with sick glee, as Marina heads off, as Angel yells loudly at her in a loud shrieking tone.
Angel Kash
You think that was funny huh? You think you won this? You think this is over you stupid bitch?!
Angel picks up her head and slams it into the floor, as she lets out a maniacal laugh, feeling herself in this moment. As she lifts her up by her hair once again taking the time to yell at her in a loud disgusted tone.
Angel Kash
They just signed the end of the GOAT, you know that? They signed you back to the farm and when they put you against me one on one you will find out who is truly Elite here. Eden may have gotten the pin by the skin of her teeth but let me remind you of something. I am the true leader of Fusion! You understand me?!!
Angel then takes a cloth of some sort and begins whipping it off, with a sick smile plastered on her face. Laughing loudly, as security tries to get off the Princess who screams loudly at them in a shrieking tone.
Angel Kash
Don’t you dare touch me!
Angel drops her down, with her face paint whipped off as security gets near Riot before any more damage can be done. As Angel says in a loud tone, cackling along the way.
Angel Kash
See you at Steel City Invasion “Goat”.
Angel then blows a kiss as she exits the scene.

RESULT: PINFALL
Fusion cuts backstage to Chelsea LeClair. Chelsea does not appear to mind the fact that this is the rare locker room appearance for her, but nonetheless, she’s as confident as she can be. The pressure of the moment doesn’t appear to be getting to her much, if at all, as she begins to speak.
Chelsea LeClair: How long ago was the draft? Like a month ago? Maybe a little more or a little less than that? Well in any event, it wasn’t long ago that I was drafted over to the Fusion brand. I welcomed the move. But unfortunately, I’ve had only ONE match since the draft prior to tonight and it wasn’t even on THIS show…
Chelsea takes a bit of a pause, even taking a moment to show a rare facial expression that isn’t exactly the happiest.
Chelsea LeClair: I’m not going to go into this long spiel about it as most wrestlers in my situation would, but it can be discouraging for the most part to be waiting on the sidelines to even have a match at all. I mean, I won my BRK THRU match and everything and that’s all fine and good but at the same time, I do know that I’m worth more than just… hanging around, ya know? But, it is what it is and all I can do and I will do is make the most out of the opportunity in front of me. I’m finally making my proper Fusion debut and needless to say, when you see who is across the ring from me this week, it’s almost as if you can say that I’ve been thrown into a fire of sorts. Cherry Adams is no easy victory… so… what’s confusing is seeing her on social media talk about ‘luck’ and indicate that she hasn’t had much, if any.
Chelsea takes another pause, expressing the confusion on her face and more or less trying to wonder where in the world Cherry even gets this idea from.
Chelsea LeClair: How do you define luck, Cherry? Really. I get that you’ve had opportunities in ZION before and that you haven’t been able to get over the hump, but would you really call that ‘bad luck’? Sure, you can be frustrated that you’ve fallen short in these opportunities and everything but then again, if you REALLY look at it from the opposite perspective, you can even say that you’ve been VERY lucky… or at least much luckier than I have been. I mean, for fuck’s sake, this is only my second booking since Destiny and my first on Fusion. You’ve had opportunities like you did at Destiny when it came to that title from ShW. You were in an elimination chamber match for the world title quite recently. Sure, you didn’t win either opportunity, but the “luck” factor is the fact that you’ve even HAD those chances. Compared to someone like ME? You’ve had it VERY lucky because I’ve been in Zion for a few months now and I haven’t even come CLOSE to having an opportunity like that. I’d say this qualifying match for the Victory Series might be the closest opportunity I’ve had to the chances you’ve had so far.
I’m not saying that I haven’t had ANY luck at all. I mean, I’ve done ‘pretty decent’ in Zion.
BUT…
At the same time, I know what I am capable of. I recently won my third world title elsewhere. I know what I can bring to Fusion. I know that I am capable of doing BETTER than what I’ve done so far and beating you and qualifying for the Victory Series would definitely serve as one of my biggest wins in this company yet. I’ve been saying that I’m done living a Cinderella story around here and I know that naturally, I’d be seen as an underdog of sorts. But, to be completely honest, fuck that noise. I’m no Cinderella, I’m no underdog. This is my chance to prove that I shouldn’t be considered one of the most underrated wrestlers on either roster. I’m getting a little tired of being ‘underrated’ at this point and if anything, this HAS to be and it WILL be a ‘breakthrough moment’ for me in one sense or another.
I don’t give a shit about what the pundits think, Cherry. So, if you want to come into this with a perspective of ‘bad luck’, I pity you but at the same time, that’s your own prerogative. You want to play that ‘bad luck’ narrative coming into this thing? Fine. But unfortunately, this means that when I defeat you tonight and qualify for this Victory Series, your so called ‘luck’ is about to get worse. One way or another, I wish you the best and hopefully there’s some perspective gained. But I’m here to win and be the best I can be on Fusion, damn it!
Chelsea walks out of the room with a determined expression on her face as the scene fades out
We come back as “The Gun Show” by In This Moment is playing over the PA system and we find the ring surrounded by a steel cage. Inside the cage in the middle of the ring sitting on a steel chair with a microphone in hand is Kara “Killer” Carbajal.
Eddie Red Apples: It appears we’re going to hear from Kara Carbajal who has a steel cage match at the upcoming Invasion Pay-Per-View against former World Heavyweight Champion, Daria Dorsey.
Amber Westgate: Let’s see what “Killer” has to say.
“The Gun Show” fades out and Carbajal waits for the mixed crowd to settle down a little before she lifts the microphone to her lips.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: I’ve been here in Zion little under a year… nine months to be exact. My first night here? I destroyed THREE World Championship caliber athletes… one of those being the World Heavyweight Champion at the time! I have DESTROYED every single person that I have stepped into the ring with since then! Only losing a handful of matches in the process! And what do I have to show for it?! FUCKING NOTHING!!!
She strokes her free hand through her short newly dyed black hair.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: I have more than proved myself worthy of becoming a champion here! I am the FUTURE of Zion! And yet… despite the fact that I have well and truly EARNED the right to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship in a one on one match?! I’m repeatedly overlooked and I have to sit back and watch as “veterans” and “legends” get those opportunities instead!
The Shieldmaiden points to the camera and then to the stage.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: And before any of you keyboard warriors at home or any of you fuckers in the back try and bring up the fact that I’ve had two chances at the World title?! I know I have! I’m not fucking stupid! But BOTH of those matches had multiple opponents and both times I was seconds away from winning but then it was stolen away from me!
She leans forward on the chair, glaring into the camera.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: And this is where you come in, Dorsey! See… the reason why I decided things weren’t over between us is because despite what I have done here in between these ropes since I first arrived here in October of last year?! You still refuse to acknowledge me for just how good I am! You still refuse to acknowledge that I have dominated this brand from the very beginning! Instead?! You just harp on about the sneak attacks like they’re the only thing I’m known for! Or that they’re the only way I can get one over on my opponents! Despite the fact that the last time we met, I kicked your ass and almost took that World Championship away from you!
Carbajal maintains that death glare, like she’s trying to burn a hole through the camera lens with it.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: So when you and I meet inside this very steel cage in the Steel City on June 25th at Invasion?! I am going to make your life a living Hell! I am going to completely and utterly obliterate you inside this structure! I am going to make you bleed! Make you suffer! Make you plead for forgiveness for ever doubting me! But most importantly?! I am going to make you acknowledge me as one of THE best wrestlers to have EVER stepped foot inside this ring!
The behemoth now stands to her feet.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Welcome to the Gun Show, bitch!
Carbajal then drops the microphone and “The Gun Show” once again blasts out of the PA system as we cut elsewhere.
Match #3: Cherry Addams vs Chelsea LeClair (Victory Series Qualifying Match)
Alex Lawson: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: And it is a qualifying match for the Victory Series Tournament!
Introducing first…from Ocean City, New Jersey…weighing in at 128 lbs…Chelsea LeClair!
And her opponent…from Beyond The Grid…weighing in at 165 lbs…Cherry! “Glitch”! Addams!
Eddie Red Apples: Here we go with the second of our Victory Series Qualifiers! We already know ARIA will be joining one of these two women, as well as either Penelope or Elijah Copeland in the Round Robin Tournament!
Amber Westgate: Either one of these two could throw a wrench in whatever plans the other combatants in the tournament have! It’ll be interesting to see which one of them can make it to the dance tonight!
LeClair and Addams meet in the center of the ring going for a Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up! Addams gets the upper hand initially, wrapping LeClair up in position before taking her to the mat with a Hip Toss! LeClair quickly gets to her feet, being weary not to be found on her back for too long in front of an adversary like Addams! She immediately rushes after The Walking Contradiction, only to be caught in a Side Headlock! This doesn’t stop her momentum however, with the two running into the ropes! Addams is sent across the ring from this, hitting the ropes before returning to LeClair, who takes advantage of this with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Addams! She rolls to her feet, looking to catch LeClair with a Big Boot to send her to the mat in earnest!

Eddie Red Apples: It appears we’re going to hear from Kara Carbajal who has a steel cage match at the upcoming Invasion Pay-Per-View against former World Heavyweight Champion, Daria Dorsey.
Amber Westgate: Let’s see what “Killer” has to say.
“The Gun Show” fades out and Carbajal waits for the mixed crowd to settle down a little before she lifts the microphone to her lips.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: I’ve been here in Zion little under a year… nine months to be exact. My first night here? I destroyed THREE World Championship caliber athletes… one of those being the World Heavyweight Champion at the time! I have DESTROYED every single person that I have stepped into the ring with since then! Only losing a handful of matches in the process! And what do I have to show for it?! FUCKING NOTHING!!!
She strokes her free hand through her short newly dyed black hair.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: I have more than proved myself worthy of becoming a champion here! I am the FUTURE of Zion! And yet… despite the fact that I have well and truly EARNED the right to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship in a one on one match?! I’m repeatedly overlooked and I have to sit back and watch as “veterans” and “legends” get those opportunities instead!
The Shieldmaiden points to the camera and then to the stage.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: And before any of you keyboard warriors at home or any of you fuckers in the back try and bring up the fact that I’ve had two chances at the World title?! I know I have! I’m not fucking stupid! But BOTH of those matches had multiple opponents and both times I was seconds away from winning but then it was stolen away from me!
She leans forward on the chair, glaring into the camera.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: And this is where you come in, Dorsey! See… the reason why I decided things weren’t over between us is because despite what I have done here in between these ropes since I first arrived here in October of last year?! You still refuse to acknowledge me for just how good I am! You still refuse to acknowledge that I have dominated this brand from the very beginning! Instead?! You just harp on about the sneak attacks like they’re the only thing I’m known for! Or that they’re the only way I can get one over on my opponents! Despite the fact that the last time we met, I kicked your ass and almost took that World Championship away from you!
Carbajal maintains that death glare, like she’s trying to burn a hole through the camera lens with it.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: So when you and I meet inside this very steel cage in the Steel City on June 25th at Invasion?! I am going to make your life a living Hell! I am going to completely and utterly obliterate you inside this structure! I am going to make you bleed! Make you suffer! Make you plead for forgiveness for ever doubting me! But most importantly?! I am going to make you acknowledge me as one of THE best wrestlers to have EVER stepped foot inside this ring!
The behemoth now stands to her feet.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Welcome to the Gun Show, bitch!
Carbajal then drops the microphone and “The Gun Show” once again blasts out of the PA system as we cut elsewhere.
Match #3: Cherry Addams vs Chelsea LeClair (Victory Series Qualifying Match)
Alex Lawson: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: And it is a qualifying match for the Victory Series Tournament!
Introducing first…from Ocean City, New Jersey…weighing in at 128 lbs…Chelsea LeClair!
And her opponent…from Beyond The Grid…weighing in at 165 lbs…Cherry! “Glitch”! Addams!
Eddie Red Apples: Here we go with the second of our Victory Series Qualifiers! We already know ARIA will be joining one of these two women, as well as either Penelope or Elijah Copeland in the Round Robin Tournament!
Amber Westgate: Either one of these two could throw a wrench in whatever plans the other combatants in the tournament have! It’ll be interesting to see which one of them can make it to the dance tonight!
LeClair and Addams meet in the center of the ring going for a Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up! Addams gets the upper hand initially, wrapping LeClair up in position before taking her to the mat with a Hip Toss! LeClair quickly gets to her feet, being weary not to be found on her back for too long in front of an adversary like Addams! She immediately rushes after The Walking Contradiction, only to be caught in a Side Headlock! This doesn’t stop her momentum however, with the two running into the ropes! Addams is sent across the ring from this, hitting the ropes before returning to LeClair, who takes advantage of this with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb! She goes for the pin!
