Episode Code Number: 1x08
Available Where: AxxessNet
Start Time: 8pm EST/ 5pm PDT
Date: 01.26.17
Location: Center Stage Arena - Los Angeles, CA

Instead of opening to a shot of the crowd in Center Stage Arena, we open to the backstage area, where interviewer Amanda Johnson is standing by.

Amanda Johnson: Ladies and gentlemen, with me right now is the Mayor of Hollywood, Jordan Cain.

The Mayor of Hollywood, who had been missing in action for several weeks, walks up to Amanda. He’s immediately met with a barrage of boos from the viewing audience.

Amanda Johnson: Welcome back!

Jordan narrows his eyes as he slowly turns and looks at Amanda disapprovingly.

Jordan Cain: Welcome back. Really? Really? Really? Do you reeeeeeeally mean that?

Amanda Johnson: Of course, boss!

Jordan Cain: Riiiiiiight, riiiiiiight. You miss me so much. Then where was my hospital visit!? Where were my “Get Well Soon” cards!? You couldn’t even get me one of those cute stuffed animals and neither did any of those mutants in the crowd! Ms. Harrington did! Becker Gaines did! Jaelynn Ramsey did! But not you and certainly not that “Terrible” Terrence Tillman! Let me be frank. Ms. Johnson, you disappoint me! You’re about as insincere as Tillman, if not moreso. But I’m not gonna take my anger out on you. You were not the reason that I was laid up in a hospital for weeks. WEEKS! There were times when I didn’t even think I was gonna make it out of that hospital. There were times when I thought I’d never be 100% again. It. Was. Horrible. Horrible, I tell you!

Jordan begins to get teary eyed as he holds his hand over his heart.

Amanda Johnson: So what happened?

Jordan Cain: Da God visited me.

Amanda Johnson: Cyncity…?

Jordan Cain: That’s the only God I know of. She came to me in a vision. She said, “Don’t worry. I’ll heal you, my child.” The next thing I know, I’ve got a clean bill of health the next day. It was a CynMas Miracle, Ms. Johnson. I swear to Cindy Parker that this happened.

Amanda Johnson: Oh...kay…

Jordan Cain: Da God answered my prayers! That’s why I feel it’s only right that I return the favor and do something about this silly 6 Pack Challenge. Who thought that was a good idea, anyway?

Amanda Johnson: Um, Lindsay Harrington. The women you left in char-

Jordan Cain: IT WAS A RHETORICAL QUESTION, MS. JOHNSON!

Amanda Johnson: Sorry, sorry.

Jordan Cain: Can you imagine......Shinsookay walking out with the Paramount Championship? Or even worse, Tillman walking out of Showdown in the Sun with two of my belts? I can’t have that. I won’t have that!! But part of that problem will be taken care of tonight when Jaelynn Ramsey becomes our neeeeeeeeeew 15 Champeeen. You all might think she’s a long shot. But Jaelynn’s gonna shock the world twice tonight: when she reveals her Mystery Partner and when she wins the 15 Championship.

Amanda Johnson: You know who the mystery partner is?

Jordan Cain: Do I know who the mystery partner is? HA! Of course I know who it is!! But I’m not gonna ruin Jaelynn’s surprise for her. You’ll found out the exact same time that Pigpen does.

Amanda Johnson: You mean Peaches.

Jordan Cain: Whatever!

Amanda Johnson: Just to backtrack for a bit, you said you’re going to help out Cyncity. How do you plan on doing that?

Jordan Cain: Cyncity has already taken care of one of her challengers for her Paramount Championship. But in two weeks, I’m gonna give our lord and savior another opportunity to pick off another one of her challengers.

Amanda Johnson: How exactly do you plan on doing that?

Jordan Cain: Don’t you worry about that, Ms. Johnson. You’ll find out soon enough.

Amanda Johnson: One more thing, Jordan.

Jordan Cain: Y’know, you sure are asking a lot of questions, Ms. Johnson!!

Amanda Johnson: But… that’s… kind of… my job. You… pay me… to ask questions.

Jordan Cain: …

Amanda Johnson: Word going around is that four 3GW stars are going to be given a special opportunity? What is that all about.

Jordan Cain: Ah yes! As I’m sure you’re aware, our next Double Feature Weekend, Showdown in the Sun, is coming up in about a month or so. After surveying the field, I’ve decided to give four lucky 3GW stars a chance at history. On Night 2 of the Double Feature Weekend, four of our stars will compete in a Fatal 4-Way. The winner of that match will then go on to compete for The Hollywood Cup. The concept of The Hollywood Cup is simply: We take one of our stars and put them in a match against an outside wrestler. The winner of the match keeps the Cup. It’s a territorial title, Ms. Johnson. Think of it like this: What the Carolina Cup was to LDFC, The Hollywood Cup will be to 3GW.

Amanda Johnson: Interesting. Now I know you don’t want me asking more questions. But you can’t leave us hanging right there, right? Who are these four 3GW wrestlers?

Jordan Cain: They will be “The Bulldover” Macy Dover. Gabi Beltran. The last two? Well, you’re about to see them compete right about…………….. now.

★★★ Opening Contest - Singles ★★★
Ashley Maldano vs. Susan Kent

Susan Kent appears on the stage and uses her hand to fan the crowd. She walks to the ring shaking hands with the fans.

Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Wichita, Kansas! Weighing in at 132 pounds… SUSAN KENT!

She climbs the ropes from the outside and waves to the fans, then climbs down into her corner and waits for her opponent.

Geoff Penzer: Good evening wrestling fans and welcome to another installment of Thursday Night Challenge! I am your host, Geoff Penzer! As I’m sure you’ve just heard, Jordan Cain has announced that Susan Kent and Ashley Maldano, along with Gabi Beltran and Macy Dover, will be competing in a Hollywood Cup Qualifier at Showdown in the Sun. Luckily for us, we’ll get to see a preview of what these two can do in the ring against each other here tonight. Now Susan Kent was feared to have suffered a concussion after slipping on the ring ropes during a Lionsault attempt a few weeks back, but she looks to be in great condition tonight, ready to take on her debuting opponent-- this woman!

The creeping opening of “Other Side” By New Years Day hits the P.A system and the fans in attendance turn to jeering boos. An array of purple and blue lights flash as Ashley comes skipping out, smirking as she shrugs her shoulders looking out.

Melanie Sierra: And her opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 115 pounds… this is ASHLEEEY MALDAAAANOOO!

Not really caring if people cheer or boo, Ashley nods her head to the music soaking in the lyrics as her eyes are peeled to the ring. Twirling her baseball bat around she slides into the ring, grinning as she tosses her bat up in the air, smirking out into the audience. She hands the bat off to the timekeeper and turns to face Susan Kent.

The bell sounds and Susan quickly makes her way to the center of the ring, arms raising to lock up, but she’s struck with a right hand. The audience groans in sympathy as Maldano connects! Susan Kent reels, a hand on her cheek, and Maldano takes her to the ground with a double-leg takedown! She unloads with a series of closed fists toward Kent to a chorus of boos from the crowd until the referee begins a five-count! Maldano breaks at three, rising off of Kent with hands in the air, proclaiming innocence. She turns, picking Kent up with a fistful of hair without hesitation, but Kent rocks her with a Spinning Heel Kick out of nowhere, sending Maldano to the mat!

Geoff Penzer: Ashley Maldano’s looking to make a huge impact in her first match here in 3GW but Susan Kent is quick, focused, and might have the newcomer scouted already! Maldano’s outside the ring, trying to catch a breath and buy herself a little bit of time.

Ashley paces on the outside for a second, a thoughtful, amused expression on her face while the ref counts.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Ashley slides into the ring and rises to her feet, beckoning Kent forward. Susan charges forward for a European Uppercut but Maldano nails a knee to the gut and a roundhouse kick! Susan hits a knee but bounces back up-- only to be struck with a second roundhouse! Kent hits the mat and Maldano smirks down at her, then toward the jeering audience, before stomping away mercilessly! She relents after a few seconds to step out to the apron and ascend to the top turnbuckle.

Geoff Penzer: Susan Kent’s in a bad way and now Ashley Maldano is up top-- wait!

Susan rushes to the corner, steps up onto the second rope and hits a European Uppercut to Maldano! Maldano reels on the top rope and Susan steps up onto the turnbuckles again, hooking her for a Superplex but Maldano blocks and sends Susan to the mat with a closed fist! Susan lands on her feet and Ashley tries to regain her footing-- but the hesitation allows Susan to scale the corner once more and hit a Super Hurricanrana to a roar from the crowd! She groans, still sore from the earlier onslaught, but hurriedly rolls into a cover, slowly trying to hook the legs!

THR--!

Geoff Penzer: Beautiful Hurricanrana by Kent out of nowhere, taking advantage of Ashley Maldano’s mistake but it didn’t put her away! Both women are fighting to their feet after that one!

Susan reaches her feet first. Ashley rises up and strides forward, but Susan nails a solid left hook that echoes throughout the building to a roar from the crowd!

Geoff Penzer: Holy-- what a shot! That might’ve knocked Maldano out cold!

Susan debates making the cover, but instead hits the ropes and nails a Lionsault! She connects flush and Maldano immediately rolls over. Susan pushes her forward again, flat onto her back but Maldano throws her shoulder off of the canvas and immediately clutches the ropes. Kent pushes herself up and tries to drag Ashley Maldano away but the referee begins to separate them, noting the rope break. As he pushes Kent off, Maldano pulls herself up using the ropes. Kent manages to duck past the referee and run at Maldano-- but she runs right into a Big Boot between the eyes! Kent reels and Maldano follows up with a second one, this time a Running Big Boot! Kent is thrown into the corner where Ashley follows up with a Body Avalanche, taking Kent to a seated position in the corner. Ash grins in her direction and the audience grows loud as many that are familiar with Maldano know what to anticipate next.

Geoff Penzer: Susan Kent is completely vulnerable right now.

Maldano hits the far corner and sprints back, going for a Bronco Buster, but Susan Kent is able to swiftly pull herself out to the apron beneath the bottom rope! Maldano cries out, making a unique noise as she crotches herself!

Geoff Penzer: ...I’m sure that went much better in Ashley’s head.

The audience has reached a fever pitch as Susan pushes herself up again, simultaneously trying to rally the audience behind her. She screams for Maldano to “come on!” and the newcomer staggers to her feet, into one… two… three hard European Uppercuts from Susan Kent! This time Maldano is the one knocked into the corner! Susan hits the ropes and rebounds, nailing a running Dropkick to the jaw! Maldano staggers out of the corner, turning around-- right into a Tornado DDT from the oncoming Kent!

Geoff Penzer: She planted her! It’s lights out for Ashley Maldano! Susan with the cover… ref’s checking the shoulders-- and the count!

ONE

TWO

THRRRRE-!

Geoff Penzer: No, once again, Ashley kicks out! Susan Kent can’t believe it but she can’t be upset here. She has to stay on the Southside Slugger and put her away now.

Susan wastes no time crawling out to the apron, though visibly distressed by the count. Kent ascends to the top rope and the audience comes alive.

Geoff Penzer: Kent may be looking for the Photo-Op.

Susan Kent leaps from the top for a Frog Splash… and Ashley rolls out of harm’s way! Susan Kent cries out in pain, shakily rising to her feet, holding her ribs. Rolling to her feet in front of Kent, Ashley nails a Standing Shiranui! She winks toward a booing section of the audience, shrugging a little as she rolls to the ropes, using them to pull herself back to her feet. Ashley stalks Susan Kent back to her feet and hoists her up, hitting the Sitout Inverted Front Powerslam!

Geoff Penzer: She calls that AshFall! Susan Kent missed with the Frog Splash and Maldano just capitalized in a big way. And here’s the cover!

The ref makes the count.

ONE

THREE!

Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match… Ashley Maldano!

“Other Side” hits the PA system and Maldano rises to her feet, grinning toward the jeering audience as the ref raises her hand in victory. After a few seconds she roughly snatches her arm away and skips past Susan Kent, exiting the ring as Kent finally begins to stir, being assisted by the ref.

Geoff Penzer: And that’s a wrap. Great 3GW debut for Ashley Maldano but if you’re Susan Kent, you have to feel how close that was. Glad to see she was cleared to compete here tonight but all the same, her opponent proved to be the tougher competitor this Thursday.

[FGA Office]

The backstage camera has managed to track down the elusive as hell Pedroertis dragonis attempting to get to his dressing room without being interviewed. Many times has this totally awesome creature pulled this off, often frustrating 3GW's leading reporter (or maybe only reporter? I dunno, I keep forgetting) Amanda Johnson. This time, however, she's managed to come up with a better idea other than "walk around and hope to get an interview."

Amanda Johnson: Pedro! I knew I'd find you eventually!

This new tactic, called "lurking near his door until he appears", is working much better. Still, the New Pride of Mexico tries incredibly hard to avoid this interview altogether by walking passed her and rapidly mumbling bullshit excuses.

Pedro Gonzales: Dowereallyhavetodothisnowtonightsabigmatchafterallheythatsaniceshirtimabusymanandmyhorseisdying--

This obviously gets stopped as she gains the speed advantage blocking the door.

Amanda Johnson: Yes, we do have to do this now. Yes, this is a big match and you're a busy man. But can't you at least try? I haven't been able to get you here in months and you haven't answered my phone calls.

Taken to task over the seriousness of the request, Pedro sighs.

Pedro Gonzales: Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I understand you're doing your job. So now I must do mine.

With this, he stands side by side with Amanda. There's a nod to the camera, but it's clear he's just looking for an opening...

Amanda Johnson: Tonight really is an opportunity with you going against Cyncity. But the comments the Paramount champion made earlier in the week is making a lot of people doubt you're even a contender. And all of this is on top of the Gold Star Connection's inquiries on the last show--

Pedro raises a hand to cut her off.

Pedro Gonzales: Let me clear the air on some this, okay?

A deep breath.

Pedro Gonzales: First and foremost, on behalf of myself, I accept the Gold Star Connection's challenge. The bigger question is will it be Bueno Club that stands across the ring from them? I would love to win the Tag Team titles with my amigo, El Grandé Malo. But I don't know what's going on in his head lately. If he wants in, that's great. If not, I'll find another. If I can't find another, there's this magical thing they call a handicap match. I'll take both of you on alone if I must. I may be focused on other things at the moment.

He points a finger gun at the lens almost in mockery.

Pedro Gonzales: But I haven't forgotten that kick to my skull, Señor Gold. I still see that pinfall in the darkness, Señorita Star. As long as you two end up being the ones wallowing in defeat without those titles...

The finger gun comes down with a smirk.

Pedro Gonzales: The circumstances doesn't mean that much to me. As for this whole thing with Maritza...Despite our relationship and my hunger for victory and shiny things, I wasn't going to get involved with her thing with Cindy. There's still a good chunk of honor left in me, enough to let them sort it out.

A beat.

Pedro Gonzales: Unfortunately, that wasn't the case with Cindy who clearly lost hers soon after her six second retirement. It's a shame that out Paramount champion is such a fraud. She belittles everybody else knowing full well that she just can't live up to her own hype. It doesn't matter how many mortgages Jordan Cain had to take out on his house to pay her or who she managed to win against. Cindy will always be known as the Girl Who Ran. She ran because once she did her five second retirement, she wasn't heralded as one of the best. She ran because fans desired to cheer Zero McHannon who was and remains a bastard, but at least he's honest about being a bastard. She ran because she couldn't handle the heat.

A shrug.

Pedro Gonzales: But it's okay. It's like I said before. Human beings always want to be more than they are. She wishes to be DA GOD and hopes that if it's said loud enough and often enough, it would be so. Maybe if the non-believers are crushed, everybody on earth would admit defeat. Yet that's the thing about being a god. There's always going to be somebody that rises against you. With the Power Princess being battered and everybody else running towards their hidey holes, somebody's got to carry the torch for a spell. Circumstances decided it was going to be me.

A nod.

Pedro Gonzales: And rest assured, I'm going to use it. I just hope Vinnie and Stitch have their resumes on point. They'll be needing them in the unemployment line. Now if you'll excuse me...

With the momentary distraction given as a result of his mountain of words, Pedro manages to lift Amanda up and away from the door. He opens it, slips through, and manages to close it leaving the cameraman to try to prevent the onslaught of fowl language that will inevitably spill out of his earnest reporter's mouth.

★★★ Showcase Match - Singles ★★★
Jenny Knite vs. Becker Gaines

“Replay” hits the PA system as a soft, pink lighting illuminates the top of the stage. Within seconds, Jenny Knite emerges from through the curtains, grinning as soon as her eyes hit the crowd. She rushes to the barrier on either-side of the ramp, leaping up onto it to group-hug a few members of the crowd nearest to the front.

Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is set for one fall! Introducing first, from Baltimore, Maryland! Weighing in at 132 pounds… JENNY KNITE!

With a smile she drops back down to the entranceway and turns, running to the side of the ring and leaping up onto the apron, landing on a knee. With a playful wink and kiss to the crowd, Jenny pulls herself up and propels herself over the top rope, into the ring, playing to the crowd on the turnbuckles as she awaits competition.

Geoff Penzer: Jenny Knite continues to be embroiled in this rivalry with Avaset Kaiser. This situation between the two has moved from verbal arguments to physical altercations. At some point, these two will be looking to finish things once and for all inside the squared circle.

“Hard to Handle” by the Black Crowes starts up on the PA, the opening drums kicking into the familiar beat of the old rock station hit. As it does Becker Gaines burst out from the curtain, a contemptuous smirk on his face as he takes in the crowd.

After a moment he nods his head before making his way down the ramp to the ring, his stride a full, exaggerated swagger in time with the song. He takes the stairs up onto the outside apron, shrugging off his ring jacket and dropping it to the mats for someone else to pick up before he scales the turnbuckles from the outside.

Melanie Sierra: And her opponent, from Hollywood, California! Weighing in at 233 pounds… BECKER GAINES!

He doesn’t take the time to showboat and instead just steps off the ropes and into the ring, walking over to his corner to await the start of the match.

Geoff Penzer: It hasn’t been a great couple of weeks for Becker Gaines. He was given the last spot in the Red Carpet Rumble. But he ended up being eliminated by his long time rival, Terrence Tillman. Then, he was pinned by Tillman, losing his 15 Championship in the process. Gaines has his chance to win another title at Showdown in the Sun. But at this point, the former child actor is i desperate need of momentum.

The match starts with Knite gaining the upperhand after placing Gaines in a side headlock. But Gaines doesn’t stay trapped for long as he shoves Knite off of him and into the ropes. When Knite returns, she slides through Gaines’ legs. When Gaines turns around, Knite gets back to her feet and throws out a roundhouse kick. Gaines ducks the roundhouse, but he isn’t fast enough to duck the step-up enzuigiri that quickly follows. Knite turns him over and makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
Gaines kicks out.

Knite picks up Gaines and goes for an irish whip. But Gaines reverses, sending Knite into the ropes. When Knite returns, Gaines throws her down with a hip toss. He drops down and makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
Knite kicks out.

Gaines brings Knite back to her feet and places her in a side headlock of his own. But after delivering three forearm strikes to the side, Knite is able to push Gaines off of her and into the ropes. When Gaines returns, Knite knocks him down with a dropkick. After Gaines returns to his feet, the crowd cheers when Knite brings him down with another dropkick. After Gaines gets back to his feet, Knite goes for another dropkick. But she goes to the well one too many times. Gaines is able to sidestep and swat her down. As Knite tries to return to her feet, Gaines clocks her with the Hollywood Headshot. He makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Knite kicks out.

Geoff Penzer: Gaines just socked her with the Hollywood Headshot. But to Knite’s credit, she got her shoulder up in time!

Gaines picks up Knite, moves her into the corner and delivers a set of shoulder thrusts before following up with hard chops. He then takes Knite by the wrist before sending her crashing into the opposite corner. Gaines charges across the ring and into the corner to attack. But Knite’s able to duck the attack and dump him over the top rope…

…Gaines lands on his feet! But Knite is able to quickly follow up with a Pelé Kick. While Gaines is dazed, Knite steps back before running into the corner and connecting with a triangle enzuigiri. The crowd cheers as Gaines is sent to the floor.

Geoff Penzer: Nice display of athleticism there from Knite. You have to imagine that Avaset Kaiser is somewhere in the back hoping for Knite’s downfall. But right now, Knite’s on top.

While Gaines tries to shake out the cobwebs, Knite steps out onto the apron. After Gaines returns to his feet and faces the ring, Knite runs along the apron, hops off and brings him down with a diving hurricanrana. The crowd cheers!

Geoff Penzer: Another nice move there by Knite! Look at her go!

Knite picks up Gaines and rolls him back inside. After sliding herself back in, she drags Gaines away from the ropes and makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Gaines kicks out.

Geoff Penzer: Gaines gets his shoulder up. But that was a heads up decision there from Knite to drag Gaines away from the ropes.

As Knite is bringing Gaines back to his feet, Gaines rakes her across the eyes. The crowd boos as takes Knite by her golden locks and launches her across the ring with a hair whip biel toss. Gaines heads over and puts the boots to Knite before bringing her back to her feet. After hitting a snap suplex, Gaines climbs up onto the middle ropes and follows up with an elbow drop. But Knite rolls out of the way.

Geoff Penzer: Nobody was home on that one!

After bringing Gaines back to his feet, Knite latches onto his arm and begins to wrench it several times. The attack is then cut off by Gaines, who rakes her across the eyes again. After taking Knite by the arm, Gaines whips her into the ropes. When Knite returns, he throws out a clothesline. But Knite ducks and runs into the ropes. When Knite returns, Gaines throws out a knife edge chop. But again, Knite ducks and runs into the ropes. When Knite comes back, Gaines sets up for a back body drop. But Knite is able to counter by hopping onto his back and delivering a sunset flip powerbomb.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
T-NO!

The crowd boos when Gaines gets his shoulder up.

Geoff Penzer: What a move by Knite to counter the back body. But it only gets two.

Knite picks up Gaines, brings him down with a snapmare and follows up with a running calf kick to the back of the neck. After another running calf kick to the back of the neck, Knite stands in front of Gaines and flattens him with a buzzsaw kick. She makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
TH-NO!

The crowd boos when Gaines gets his shoulder up.

Knite picks up Gaines and goes for an irish whip. But Gaines reverses and sends her into the corner. He charges into the corner, but Knite knocks him back with a boot to the face. She then runs out of the corner and executes an STO backbreaker before following up with a stepover leg lariat. She makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THR-NO!

The crowd sighs, then boos when Gaines gets his shoulder up.

Knite picks up Gaines and goes for an irish whip. But again, Gaines reverses and whips her into the ropes. When Knite returns, the crowd cheers as she brings him down with a Slingblade. Knite heads into the corner and waves up Gaines. When Gaines finally returns to his feet and turns around, Knite runs out of the corner and plants him with the Daybreak (satellite ddt). She then brings Gaines back to his feet and nails him with four forearm shots to the face before turning and running into the ropes. When Knite returns, she flips over and brings him down with the Knitefall to a large pop. She makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THREE!

The crowd cheers when “Replay” plays over the PA.

Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match, JENNY KNITE!

The crowd continue to cheer while Knite gets her arm raised.

Geoff Penzer: A solid victory there from Jenny Knite! On paper, you would think that Gaines would pick up the W. But unfortunately for him, his slide continues. We’ll be right back after this. Still to come, we’ve got our Paramount Champion, Cyncity, taking on the New Pride of Mexico, Pedro Gonzales, in the main event. But cooooooming up next, it’s the Gang Green General, Dooder3G, taking on Gabi Beltran!

[FGA Office]

We return from commercial where interviewer Amanda Johnson joins Jenny Knite in the ring, with a microphone in hand. Still catching her breath, Jenny waves at a small group of fans that’ve started a ”JENNY!” chant several rows back, blowing the off-camera group a kiss with a lighthearted laugh.

Amanda Johnson: Jenny, congratulations on what many would agree is an important victory tonight here over former Fifteen Champion Becker Gaines.

This earns applause from the audience and Jenny can be heard giving Amanda thanks over the mic before Amanda goes on.

Amanda Johnson: But I have to address the elephant in the room; two weeks you were viciously assaulted by Avaset Kaiser who locked you in The Bridge while you were seated on commentary. With things between the two of you reaching this level, what must you be thinking? What steps do you plan on taking to…?

Jenny calmly pulls Amanda’s hand, and thus the microphone, toward herself.

Jenny Knite: I don’t mean to interrupt, and normally I would love to sit out here and give you an interview, but there’s been one thing on my mind for the past two weeks-- and that’s ending this the only way I know how.

Jenny exhales and looks up toward the hard camera.

Jenny Knite: I want a fight. No cheap shots. No tricks; just me against Avaset Kaiser until one of us has to give up or tap out. I tried to be nice to her, but--

“Primadonna [Panda Eyes Remix]” hits across the arena as the crowd begins booing. Avaset walks out toward the ring with a microphone already in hand.

Avaset Kaiser: But, what?

The camera follows Avaset Kaiser as she makes her way toward the ring. As she does, Ava waits for Jenny to even dare finishing that sentence. She enters the ring and continues talking as she steps toward Jenny.

Avaset Kaiser: This whole time you have been trying nacht after nacht to get me back because you felt insulted by my words. Show-after-show, you would come to my matches because you, for whatever reason, felt it was necessary. Well, it wasn’t und that is precisely why I attacked you. Now, here you are trying to play tough girl by challenging me to what I do best? Am I hearing you correctly, Jenny? You want me in a Submission Match?

There’s a mixed reaction as Avaset lowers her mic, many cheering for the idea of the match-- many simply booing the presence of the Killer Queen.

Jenny Knite: I’m challenging you to what you ‘do best’ because that’s what you wanted in the first place. That’s what you threatened to do before you even met me. You wanted to make me tap out or… by now even worse than that. And that’s fine. You can have that opportunity, but I get the opportunity to physically defend myself. There won’t be referees between us and one of us won’t be thirty seconds removed from another match. It’s just you and me and it doesn’t end until one of us gives up. And if that person is you...

Jenny smiles innocently and shrugs a little as she looks at Kaiser, who stands mere inches away now.

Jenny Knite: Then I’d probably never let you live it down.

Avaset, having heard enough, attempts to strike Jenny, going for a direct shot to the jaw, but Jenny sidesteps at the last moment, pivoting and delivering a sharp kick to the small of Kaiser’s back, sending her stumbling forward! Amanda Johnson wisely exits the ring through the middle and bottom rope as Kaiser slowly turns back toward Knite with a glare. She charges forward, microphone gripped in her right hand as a weapon, but Knite is able to slide between the feet of the oncoming Kaiser, wrapping up her left leg and bringing the Killer Queen face-first to the mat with the modified single-leg takedown! The microphone bounces away toward the ropes!

Geoff Penzer: Well, we should’ve seen this coming! Things got out of hand in a hurry, and look!

Jenny, despite the writhing of Kaiser, is able to lock in the Calf Slicer to a roar from the audience! Kaiser screams out in pain, eyes growing wide, but she begins crawling toward the ropes in the same direction she’d entered the ring, but Jenny maintains a deathgrip on the submission!

Geoff Penzer: We might not have to wait any longer than tonight!

Avaset reaches out, seemingly for the ropes, but grabs the microphone instead, gasping as she brings it to her lips. Avaset gasps in pain into the microphone as she painstakingly speaks into the microphone.

Avaset Kaiser: Y-you’re going to pa-pay for this!

The microphone slides out of her grasp as she can’t ignore the pain from the Calf Slicer. Avaset begins slamming the mat frantically as officials rush into the ring to get Jenny off of Avaset, but Knite releases the submission move without any issue with the officials. She rises to her knees and smiles down at her pained rival before rolling out of the ring, leaving Avaset in pain on the canvas while officials tend to her and “Replay” hits the PA system. Jenny pauses at the top of the ramp near Amanda Johnson, who’d watched the whole thing. Amanda, a look of surprise at what transpired, offers the mic to Jenny, who leans into it for just a moment while looking back at the ring.

Jenny Knite: Sounds like she accepts.

Jenny winks at the audience and nods politely to Amanda before walking through the curtains to the back.

Geoff Penzer: Tonight, Jenny gets a small measure of revenge against Avaset Kaiser but it sounds like we haven’t settled things quite yet. Both of these competitors want to settle this one-on-one. Both wants to make the other one tap out in front of the world. Both want the other to hurt! We’ll keep you updated!

We fade to black as Avaset is helped up, glaring around at the audience and at the curtain where Knite had disappeared.

Dooder3G vs. Gabi Beltran

Melanie Sierra: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

Smoke rises from the entrance area as "Death Rides A Horse" starts to play over the speakers.

Melanie Sierra: Introducing first, from New York, New York, weighing in at one hundred and forty-four pounds… GABIII BELTRAAAN!

Soon after, Gabi Beltran emerges looking all business as she keeps her gaze focused straight ahead. Making a straight line for the ring, she slides under the bottom rope and rolls to her feet. Quickly removing her leather jacket, she tosses it aside and heads to her corner to prepare for the match ahead.

As the laughing intro to "Idiot" starts, the lights start to flash green. Moments later when the rift finally drops, Dooder3G emerges from the curtain full of energy. He starts screaming and hyping himself before pointing his trusty neon green vapepen in the air. Dooder3G takes a long drag and blows a cloud down the ramp in front of him before making his way to the ring.

Melanie Sierra: And her opponent, from Greenland, California, DOODER3G!

Dooder3G leaps onto the apron before climbing the turnbuckle. He takes another drag of the vape before obnoxiously blowing it into the crowd. Dooder3G jumps down to the ring and begins stretching out his legs as the song fades out.

Geoff Penzer: And this one’s official with the start of the bell! Dooder3G versus Gabi Beltran, here we go!

The bell sounds and the two competitors meet in the middle of the ring, each reaching out toward the other to see if they can pick a limp-- but Beltran rushes forward, swinging around to a rear waistlock, but Dooder3G pivots and smashes her in the face with a palm strike! The crowd comes alive as the shot echoes and Beltran reels. Doodger3G shoots the ropes and comes back for a Clothesline but Beltran counters with an over-the-shoulder hip throw! He scrambles to his feet, but gets caught with a Japanese Arm Drag! Beltran rolls through, holding onto the hold, lifting the Dood to his knees and nailing an Arm Wringer Takedown, smashing him into the canvas!

Geoff Penzer: Gabi Beltran isn’t wasting any time-- and you have to wonder if Dooder3G might have his mind on Cyncity. He can’t afford to be distracted in a match against a dangerous opponent like the wicked-observant Gabi Beltran.

Beltran watches as Dooder3G pulls himself up in the corner. She performs a handspring as she rushes toward him and goes for an Enzuigiri-- but he ducks it and rolls through! As both wrestlers spring to their feet, Dooder delivers a Savate Kick to the gut before twisting and nailing an Enzuigiri of his own to a mixed reaction from the audience! Beltran hits the mat and the Dood slides into the cover, hooking both legs!

Geoff Penzer: I spoke too soon! Cover!

ONE
.
.
TWO
.
.
Kickout!

Dood rises to his knees and forces his palm against the face and nose of Beltran, forcing her head againt the canvas to a chorus of boos from the crowd. The ref warns him, counting, ”ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!” before Dooder3G releases. He shakes his arm a bit to alleviate the pain and rises to his feet, bringing Beltran with him. He Irish Whips her into the ropes, but nailing a leaping Hurricanrana as soon as she rebounds, spiking Beltran into the canvas due to the height and weight difference! There is a groan from the audience and Dooder3G rises to his feet, pulling Gabi up from behind-- and applying a standing Dragon Sleeper!

Geoff Penzer: There’s the Dragon Sleeper and… you have to wonder how much he wishes that it was the Paramount Champion in this situation! Beltran took a nasty, nasty blow with that low Hurricanrana.

Suddenly, Beltran drops down to the mat and is able to grab the Dood’s left arm, nailing a low Arm Drag, rolling him across the canvas! He rises to his feet first as Beltran reaches a seated position-- and rushes forward for the Penalty Kick!

Geoff Penzer: Ode to Scandalous! Wait, no!

Beltran throws herself to the mat again, avoiding Dood’s foot by inches! She sits upright and captures him with an Oklahoma Roll, pinning his shoulders to the canvas to a pop from the crowd!

ONE
.
.
TWO
.
.
THRE-!

Geoff Penzer: At the last possible second, Dooder3G gets his shoulders off the mat!

Beltran looks the referee up-and-down, but says nothing. She pushes herself up and attempts to pull the Dood up in a front facelock, but he grabs her by the tights, sending her through the ropes and out to the apron while he catches a breath in the corner. The ref counts Gabi out while she stirs on the floor.

Ref: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!

Gabi climbs back up onto the apron and Dooder3G approaches the ropes-- only to be caught with a shoot kick through the ropes to the bad arm! She yanks him through the ropes and straight down to the floor!

Geoff Penzer: Good lord!

Dooder3G gasps for his breath and Gabi Beltran rushes across the apron to go for a shoot kick to the jaw, but Dood sidesteps! Gabi leaps down from the apron, turning to catch the oncoming Dood with a jumping toe kick to the bad arm, followed by two more to the gut in rapid-succession with alternating legs! This is immediately followed by a Spinning Back Elbow that takes him to the ground outside! Gabi pivots and hits a Standing Moonsault to a pop from the audience! Both competitors are stunned on the outside! The referee leans through the ropes to check on them before beginning another count!

Ref: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN!

Beltran is up first,rolling Dooder3G into the ring beneath the bottom rope.

Geoff Penzer: This might be it!

Gabi goes to make the cover, but Dooder catches her with a second stiff palm strike to the nose from the ground! Gabi’s eyes roll into the back of her head and she falls to her back. Dooder3G clutches his arm, pulling himself up. He shakes his head down at Gabi and forces her upright, roughly, hooking her for the Tiger Bomb-- and nailing it! He cries out in pain, clutching his arm again, rolling away afterward!

Geoff Penzer: Dooder3G with the PA Special but he can’t capitalize! Hey, what’s…?!

Many in the audience rise to their feet and turn to the entrance as “Gangsta’s Paradise” hits the PA! There are a chorus of boos and Dooder turns his attention to the ramp… where the music fades and the Mascot Stitch appears! Dooder3G, seemingly unsurprised, shakes his head, pointing for Mascot Stitch to stay where he was. He turns toward the stirring Gabi Beltran, rushing forward, perhaps for the Penalty Kick…

...but Beltran pushes herself to her feet and nails the Wheel Kick out of nowhere! The audience roars, though some boo at the interference of Mascot Stitch!

Geoff Penzer: This all happened so fast! The Dood might be out cold! Gabi with the cover!

ONE
.
.
.
TWO
.
.
.
THREE!

The bell sounds and “Death Rides a Horse” hits the PA to a pop.

Melanie Sierra: Here is your winner, GABIIII BELTRAN!

Geoff Penzer: I don’t know if Beltran wanted the assist from Stitch, but she got it whether Cyncity intended to help or not! Dooder3G looks absolutely livid-- but where’d the Mascot Stitch go?

Dooder3G exits the ring, marching backstage with an indistinguishable look in his eye, though there’s no sign of the Mascot Stitch. In the ring, Gabi’s arm is raised in victory as we cut away.

Having made his return at the previous edition of Thursday Night Challenge, watching on as Terrence Tillman - the man who committed such a heinous assault upon him at the red Carpet Rumble - pinned Becker Gaines to become the new 15 Champion, Jordan Cain stomps around his office as he plots his next move

Jordan Cain: ...and I tell you, I'll tell everybody, Terrence Tillman's life will be far from "terrific" when I show him what happens to someone who dares put their hands on Jordan Cain! Handicap matches? Pah! Two-on-one matches are for amateurs, I'll put him in a match with everyone I can find backstage and offer them a bonus if they put him on the shelf. And maybe I won't stop there, maybe I'll send you to a biker bar...

Lindsay Harrington: Send me to a biker bar?

Jordan Cain: Damn right I will, because I want you to find the toughest, meanest, dirtiest gang you can find and have them leave a Tillman-shaped stain on the sidewalk outside of my arena, and when he's deemed unable to compete for the rest of his life I'll take back my 15 Championship and I'll hand it back to Beck and tell him he's the two-time champion because he's the man who knows how to be a champion in my company.

Finally pausing to take a breath, Cain throws open the door to the mini fridge set into his desk to grab an energy drink - only to find the fridge is empty

Jordan Cain: What the hell is this??? You know full well the only way I can summon the energy to keep this rabble in line is if I top up my energy levels all day long, yet when I try and keep ahead of everyone in the locker room who thinks they know better I find that somebody can't even do their job properly! What happened to the case I had in here?

Lindsay Harrington: Shintaro Majima hurled it at you, remember?

Affronted by his lack of taurine, Cain stomps towards Lindsay, his footsteps momentarily slowed by walking on a sticky substance on his office floor which further serves to aggrieve him

Jordan Cain: I thought I told you to clean that up!

Lindsay Harrington: I did, but the amount of who-knows-what in those things...

Throwing his hands up in an indignant rage, Cain marches towards his office door

Jordan Cain: If you have to do something right in this company, you...

Cain throws open the door to his office, but rather than marching into the corridor as he continues his rant he stops mid-sentence as he sees Shintaro Majima has been waiting patiently for him outside his door

Shintaro Majima: You appear to be distressed, Jordan Cain.

Jordan Cain: I am in no mood for your games, Majima, and I am warning you...

Shintaro Majima: Warning me?

To say Cain's threat fell on deaf ears is an understatement, as Majima's response is to take half a step closer towards Cain as his eyes appear to darken with malicious intent, reminding Cain just how imposing a figure Majima can be - but rather than try and back out of the confrontation, Cain keeps going

Jordan Cain: If you lay a finger on me I'll have you out of here so fast your head'll spin.

Shintaro Majima: A finger?

Momentarily taking his eyes off of Cain, Majima looks at the back of his hand - serving to remind Cain that Majima has caused plenty of damage to numerous members of the 3GW roster without so much as grazing them with a finger, so he can very easily hurt Cain yet literally won't lay a finger on him

Shintaro Majima: I hope your ribs are not feeling as sore this week, Jordan Cain. It would be a shame to hear that you are still experiencing some discomfort, especially if this discomfort was inflicted upon you by a member of your own roster.

As he lets Cain sweat for a moment, Majima looks straight past him into Cain's office to see Lindsay Harrington watching the scene unfold before her, giving Lindsay an acknowledging nod before he turns his attention back towards Cain

Shintaro Majima: I am sure you were doing something of great importance. Don't let me get in your way.

Breaking off his eye contact with Cain a second time, Majima turns and walks away knowing he's made his point, and as he walks away Lindsay peeks her head out of the office door to make sure Majima has left before she talks to Cain

Lindsay Harrington: Sir, are you...?

Coming back to his senses, Cain turns on his heels and marches back inside his office, acting as if the encounter did not happen

Jordan Cain: ...as I was saying, once that miserable creep Tillman is taken out of the picture for good and the 15 Championship is back where it belongs, when that's taken care of we can deal with the other problem I have to deal with every working day, that big lump of wagyu beef who thinks this is some mid-90s John Woo movie...

While Cain continues to rant his way into his office and back towards his desk once more, Lindsay can't help but continue looking down the hallway to see Majima disappear into the depths of the Centre Stage Arena.

[ EARLIER TODAY ]

Backstage, Macy Dover is sitting in the lounge area backstage. She has her feet up on the coffee table and a bag of trail mix in her hand. She picks out the M&Ms and tosses them up into the air, catching them in her mouth. She looks over and sees Amanda Johnson walking her way. She sighs, knowing what was coming. She picks up the remote next to her muting the TV showing Challenge as it progresses.

Macy Dover: What Amanda? What?

Amanda cocks her head back, confused at the reaction she’s received from Macy. She tells the cameraman to get set up.

Amanda Johnson: I figured you wanted a chance to tell everyone how you feel after the hellish time you had last week.

Macy tongues her cheek looking at Amanda.

Macy Dover: You just want some sound bites to feed yours and the fan’s appetite. You want me to go off about it and the camera is here to catch every second of it.

Macy leans back in the chair. She turns the sound to the TV back on causing the speakers to echo as she realizes they are live in the arena right now. She blows her breath out in an exasperated manner before muting the TV again.

Macy Dover: Guess I get no choice then.

Amanda Johnson: You have fans, whether you believe it or not, and they want to know what’s next.

Macy looks disgusted at her comment.

Macy Dover: You serious? You think I don’t know that? There’s plenty of bitches out there jealous of me because they wish they could do half the things I’ve already done in my short career. And the fans? They can boo all they want, but when Macy walks through that curtain they know what they’re getting. And they love it. Sit on the edge of their seats to see when and who will get hit with the “Dover Drop” next. I don’t need you trying to remind me I have fans as if I am unaware.

Amanda Johnson: So what’s next then?

Macy tosses another M&M. After chewing it and swallowing, she puts her feet down turning to Amanda.

Macy Dover: I have a pretty good idea. And more of them forming as this show goes on. But it’s getting a little hard to think around here with the interruptions.

Amanda Johnson: Then I’ll leave you to your thoughts then. But one last question.... You and Ashley who debuts today… seem to have had some issues come across on twitter. You warned her not to come to 3GW, but she did anyways. You plan on sending her back where she came from?

This caught Macy’s ear. She put everything down and turned to Amanda. She wiped her chin free of M&M dust before speaking.

Macy Dover: You all think I have something against her? I was warning her saying that if she wants to be the best, she needs to stay focused. And leaving to join another company while the champion of the one she’s already in… doesn’t keep you focused. I don’t have a problem, and if all you think I do… then she probably does too.

Macy stands to her feet and shuffles all the crumbs from her trail mix off her body.

Macy Dover: I’m going to go clear this up now actually.

Macy walks past Amanda Johnson and out of the camera shot.

★★★ Showcase Match - Singles ★★★
Emily Carter vs. Avaset Kaiser

As the beginning of "Primadonna(Panda Eyes Remix)" by Marina & The Diamonds kicks up over the sound system as those around the ring area begin booing. Meanwhile, at the top of the entrance ramp, spotlights point toward the entrance tunnel where "The Crown Jewel of Germany" Avaset Kaiser emerges. She raises her arms into the air, taking in the atmosphere with her eyes closed, standing as a beautiful statue before the jeering crowd.

Primadonna girl.
Primadonna girl.
Primadonna girl, yeah.

After a long moment, she glances around at the fans in the crowd as they yell various things at her. It seems as though she has an answer for whatever they're shouting, but she blows them off before making her way to the ring. While most of the fans boo her, there are people in the crowd who clearly find her so attractive that they don't care about her antics and thus cheer or whistle at her, but she blows them off as well.

All I ever wanted was the world.
I can't help that I need it all.

Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Dresden, Saxony, Germany! Weighing in at 147 pounds! She is “The Crown Jewel”, AVASET KAISER!

Avaset jogs up the ring stairs and across the apron where she hooks her arms over the top ropes and looks out at the audience.

The primadonna life, the rise and fall.
You say that I'm kinda difficult...

She leans backwards and flips herself over the ropes, landing perfectly on her feet in the ring.

But it's always someone else's fault.

Avaset immediately pulls herself onto the ropes before her and raises her arms into the air, taking in the atmosphere once more while transforming herself into a beautiful statue.

Got you wrapped around my finger, babe.

With that, she takes her corner, lounging on the ropes in the corner while she awaits the beginning of the match.

All I ever wanted was the world.

As if on queue her music fades out.

Geoff Penzer: Avaset kaiser came out to confront Jenny Knite earlier tonight. But she quickly found herself on the wrong end of that altercation. Will Kaiser still be focused on Knite? Or will she be focused on her opponent that’s coming out right now.

As the drums start at the beginning of "Don't Die Digging", the audience turns their attention to the entrance way. When the guitar kick in, Emily Carter steps through the curtain to a positive reaction from the crowd. Carter smiles before pointing to various fans in the crowd. She then makes her way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans along the way.

Melanie Sierra: And her opponent, from Westwood, Massachusetts! Weighing in at 129 pounds… EMILY CARTER!

She then hops onto the apron before entering the ring. When the chorus hits, Carter climbs up onto the ropes and holds her index finger in the air. She hops down, marches across the ring, climbs up onto the ropes and thrusts her index finger in the air. Carter smiles, nodding her head in approval as the crowd continues to cheer her on.

Geoff Penzer: After the events that have transpired over the past several months, I think it’s safe to say that any respect between Emily Carter and Mercy Williams is now out the window. Carter has stated that she isn’t going to be dragged into a back and forth with Williams. Instead, she issued a challenged to Williams. A challenge that has yet to be accepted.

The match starts with Carter and Kaiser locking up. After jockeying for position, Kaiser places Carter in a side headlock. Carter tries to push Kaiser off of her. But Kaiser doesn’t budge. Carter then wraps her arms around Kaiser, moves a few steps back, then tries to push Kaiser off of her. But again, Kaiser doesn’t budge. She then tosses Carter down to the mat with a side headlock takeover. The ref gets down and asks Carter if she wants to give up. But Carter refuses. She then reverses into a headscissors. But Kaiser is able to escape with a kip up.

After Carter scrambles back to a vertical base, Kaiser catches her in another side headlock. This time, Carter gives her a few forearm shots to the side before shoving her off and into the ropes. When Kaiser returns, she runs over Carter with a running shoulder block. She then runs into another set of ropes as Carter gets back to her feet. When Kaiser returns, the crowd boos when she knocks Carter down with another running shoulder block. Kaiser then heads into another set of ropes as Carter gets back to her feet. When Kaiser returns, Carter leapfrogs over her. Kaiser continues to run into the ropes. When Kaiser returns, Carter leapfrogs over her again. Kaiser continues to run into the ropes. When Kaiser comes back, Carter knocks her down with a jumping calf kick. Kaiser gets back to her feet. But Carter is quick to knock her down with another jumping calf kick. As Kaiser gets back to a vertical, Carter runs over and delivers a running hurricanrana, which sends Kaiser through the ropes and to the floor.

While Kaiser stirs on the canvas, Carter waves her arms up and down to get the crowd hyped. As Kaiser starts to pick herself up off the floor, Carter takes off into the far ropes. When Carter returns, the crowd cheers when she hurls herself over the top rope and knocks Kaiser down with a somersault plancha.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Geoff Penzer: She’s got the submission locked in! If she transitions into the bridging Fujiwara, this one could be over quick!

Carter can be heard groaning in pain while Kaiser cranks away on the arm. The ref then asks her if she wants to give up. But Carter refuses. Before Kaiser can transition into a bridging fujiwara armbar. But Carter’s able to scoot herself over towards the side of the ring and grab the bottom rope.

After both wrestlers return to their feet, Kaiser runs over to attack. But Carter stuns her with a roundhouse kick before following up with a single arm DDT to the left arm.

Geoff Penzer: Carter giving Kaiser a taste of her own medicine now!

The crowd continues to cheer when Carter picks up Kaiser, leave sher feet and delivers a jumping double knee armbreaker to the left arm.

Geoff Penzer: Carter goes after the arm again! An eye for an eye is what it’s looking like right now!

Carter picks up Kaiser and whips her into the corner. She then runs across the ring, leaps into the air and connects with a hesitation corner dropkick. As Kaiser slumps down in the corner, Carter heads back towards the center of the ring. She then turns, runs into the corner and hurls herself at kaiser with Breeballin (cannonball senton).

“Don’t Hurt Me” by DJ Mustard interrupts the in-ring celebration from Emily after defeating Avaset Kaiser. Mercy steps out on the stage holding a microphone in hand with a pretentious smile on her face as she eyed Emily up and down. Mercy’s music dyed down, with the sounds of the crowd booing Mercy. Mercy dusted off her shoulders, not interested in the response she was getting.

Mercy Williams: [/b]Even though I wasn’t scheduled here tonight, 3GW gotta have Mercy. So here I am!

Mercy proclaimed, raising up her arm up in the air, tilting her head to the side. Mercy continued, seeing Emily shaking her head at her direction.

Mercy Williams: Oh hey there, Emes, how you doing? You weren't expecting to see me here? You probably thought I hightailed after that challenge you offered me two weeks ago. You should’ve known better hun. You see Emily, you claimed a whole lotta things, like being a better wrestler than me.

Mercy let out a hard laugh at the thought of Emily being a better wrestler than her.

Mercy Williams: I always knew you had the biggest ego around here and yet these idiot fans buy into like you’re some humble person. But whatever, Emelia. I’m out here for myself rather than giving you the satisfaction. You see, since the last show I thought long and hard about your alleged challenge against me at the next Supercard.

Mercy paced on the stage, tapping her finger to her chin to add suspension to her answer.

Mercy Williams: I could’ve dangled the whole challenge over your head like a carrot on a stick but I must admit, you put me in a heavy predicament. Of course I’ve been wanting to get inside that ring with you believe it or not Emma. But, the thing is that I’m not seeking your god damn credit for it so don’t think SO highly of yourself.

Mercy snapped with a little anger coming out as she stared a hole through Emily who was patiently waiting for Mercy’s answer.

Mercy Williams: I’ll give myself what I want by facing you at Showdown at the Sun. And by the way, this match will go on MY terms, not yours. I don’t need your fake  approval or anything because I will expose you for the fraud you truly are.

Mercy lowered the microphone watching Emily’s reaction as Mercy’s music played up again before Mercy walked to the back as the show cut to a commercial.

Peaches vs. Mystery Opponent

"Shit Shots Count" by The Drive By Truckers begins playing as Peaches bursts through the curtain with her arms outstretched to each side. She spins around as she slowly moves down the aisle, soaking in the crowd's cheers before picking up the pace.

Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, this match is set for ONE FALL! Introducing first, from Fayetteville, Georgia! Weighing in at 132 pounds... PEEEAAAAACHES!

As Peaches climbs up the ring steps she removes her plaid shirt, tossing it to a fan in the audience, before finally vaulting over the top rope as she waits for the match to start.

Geoff Penzer: Peaches has issued a challenge to Jaelynn Ramsey for Showdown in the Sun, but Peaches has made it a tag team match. She has a partner in former FGA World Tag Team Champion, Dan Herrera, but Jaelynn made this match for tonight. Peaches will be up against Jaelynn’s tag team partner … now we just need to find out who the mystery man is.

The opening chords begin to play throughout the Center Stage Arena as the crowd burst into a loud chorus of cheers.

I think you got a low self opinion man
I see you standing all by yourself

Geoff Penzer: Oh. My. God.

Unable to express the pain of your distress
You withdraw deeper inside

Peaches stands there dumbfounded as she looks out at the top of the aisle. Dom Harter steps out from behind the curtain. He throws his arms out to either side, the ever familiar crooked grin plastered on his face as he begins to stride down the aisle, soaking in the reaction that are coming from the fans.

Melanie Sierra: And her opponent, from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada! Weighing in at 225 pounds... DOOOOOOOMMMMMM HAAAAARRRRTER !

Harter slaps hands with all the willing fans along the way before he climbs up the ring steps and enters the ring through the middle rope; once inside the squared circle, Harter climbs up to the middle rope, posing for the fans as he waits for the match to start.

Geoff Penzer: Dom Harter! Dom Harter is here in 3GW – he’s Jaelynn Ramsey’s mystery partner! I can’t believe this, what a coup by Jaelynn Ramsey!

Harter and Peaches stand toe to toe in the center of the ring; he’s smirking while she appears to be flabbergasted. But Peaches picks her jaw up off the mat in time to hear the bell ring as Harter removes his t-shirt, tossing it out into the crowd afterwards.

Geoff Penzer: This is highly unexpected; these two are friends, they’re bro and broette, they’re both members of the Langley Falls Pornstar Convention. Why would Dom Harter agree to face Peaches? Why would he team with Jaelynn Ramsey?!

Harter appears to be trying to explain himself, but Peaches doesn’t want to hear it! She fires off a couple of forearm shots to the face, backing Dom against the ropes, before she goes for an Irish whip. Harter manages to reverse it, though, sending Peaches across the ring. She rebounds with a flying forearm smash, knocking her opponent off his feet! Both competitors scramble to get back to their feet as Peaches leaps up with a dropkick, sending Harter tumbling out through the ropes and all the way to the outside.

Peaches pops right back to her feet as she sees The Tenacious Little Bastard rising on the outside; she hits the nearest ropes for momentum, rebounding off the far ropes before charging back across the ring and over the top rope with a tope con hilo! The crowd cheer for the Peach State native as she stands back up, arms in the air to soak in the applause.

Geoff Penzer: Peaches starting off hot here tonight. She must not’ve taken too kindly to Harter’s appearance.

Peaches rolls her opponent back into the ring and climbs up onto the apron afterwards, but Dom is already on his feet before Peaches can get in the ring. She catches him with a guillotine down across the top rope; he falls to the mat and rolls through, allowing Peaches the opening she needs to springboard in with a hurricanrana into the pin!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
KICKOUT!

Harter gets the shoulder up in time, and again both competitors scramble to their feet. Harter lunges forward with a clothesline, but it’s countered by a crucifix pin!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
KICKOUT!

Another kickout by Dom Harter, and both competitors scramble to get up. Harter’s staggering as Peaches sneaks up behind him and takes him down with a reverse hurricanrana! The crowd erupt into cheers again as Peaches stands back up; she poses for her adoring public as she points to the top turnbuckle.

Geoff Penzer: Are we about to see the Booty Drop already? Peaches is looking to finish this one early as she heads up top here.

Peaches heads out onto the apron before she climbs, scaling the turnbuckle with ease before she leaps off with a Booty Drop–-NO! Harter gets a boot up, driving it into up into Peaches’ face as she lands! The 3GW falls back to the mat as Dom takes the opportunity to roll towards the ropes. He gets back to his feet first, bringing Peaches up with him before he throws her face first into the turnbuckle. And again. Peaches falls back into the corner as Harter rears back for a series of knife edge chops to the chest. The crowd “whoo” along with each one, before Dom finally whips Peaches from pillar to post. He follows her in with a running clothesline, and suddenly the tables have turned.

Harter waits for his opponent to stagger out of the corner; he spins Peaches around as she does exactly that and takes her down with a belly to back suplex. A lateral press.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
KICKOUT!

Geoff Penzer: One mistake by Peaches and Dom Harter has found a way right back into this match. We know he’s fresh off a surprise defeat in the Young Guns Cup, but I doubt his tenacity will come into question tonight.

Harter picks his opponent back up and doubles Peaches over with a knee lift to the midsection. He follows up with an arm wringer, dropping an elbow down across the shoulder before he transitions into a Russian legsweep. A couple of driving elbows down across the sternum and Harter seems content to retreat to the corner to try and catch his breath.

Peaches is slow back to her feet, pushing herself up from all fours to a doubled over position; Harter charges out of the corner with a running knee lift! Peaches spins around in a daze as Dom grabs her up again, dropping her with a thrusting spinebuster! But he keeps hold of her leg, turning Peaches over into a single leg Boston crab!

Geoff Penzer: Dom Harter with a submission hold locked in here, and Peaches needs to find a way out before its too late.

Peaches begins crawling, dragging herself closer to the ropes as the crowd continue to cheer her on. With fingers outstretched, Peaches reaches out … before Dom drags her towards the center of the ring. But he allows her to roll over, using her free leg to kick Harter away. The Tenacious Little Bastard rolls through and gets back to his feet a step before Peaches does; he lunges forward with a clothesline, but Peaches ducks underneath and runs against the ropes. She comes back with a headscissors takedown, sending Dom tumbling across the ring.

He gets right back up again and charges in, only to get caught by a leg lariat! Harter gets up again, and Peaches leaps up behind him for the inverted facelock backbreaker! And the cover!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THR-NO!

Harter gets the shoulder up in time, and Peaches brings him right back to his feet. An Irish whip sends Dom towards the corner as Peaches follows him in with a running European uppercut. And another! And a third! Harter staggers out of the corner as Peaches leaps up with a hurricanrana–NO! Dom catches her, keeping her up high as the Georgia native fires off some punches to the face. Harter stumbles backwards as Peaches counters with a sitout facebuster!

Peaches stands back up slowly; the toll of this match beginning to show on her face as she beckons Dom to get back to his feet as well. As he does so Peaches tries to lift him into a fireman’s carry – but Dom slips down the back and drills Peaches with a reverse DDT! He hooks a leg.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
KICKOUT!

Harter sits there for a second, chuckling as he runs a hand through his hair.

Geoff Penzer: Back and forth, both of these competitors are giving this everything they have. Dom Harter seems eager to impress Jaelynn Ramsey, while Peaches wants nothing more than to get one over on her friend.

Peaches rolls towards the ropes, using them to regain her vertical base as Dom approaches. He lashes out with several shots to the back, before an Irish whip sends Peaches towards the corner. He follows her in with a running clothesline, before another Irish whip sends Peaches from pillar to post. Harter follows her in again, this time with a running double knee lift to the chest! The crowd cheer as Peaches stumbles out of the corner; Dom’s already running against the ropes, though, as he comes roaring back with a Yakuza kick to the face!

But before he can go for the cover, Peaches rolls out under the bottom rope. She stumbles towards the guard rail, using them to stay on her feet as Dom steps out onto the apron. He leaps off with an axhandle smash – but Peaches counters with a shot to the gut! Harter is doubled over, and Peaches pounces, laying her opponent out with the overdrive! Dom immediately clutches the back of his head in pain as Peaches drags him back to his feet. She bounces him head first off the steel steps before rolling Dom back into the ring. Dom is slow to get back to his feet, but when he does, Peaches catches him with a springboard crossbody block from the apron! She makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THR-NOOO!

Peaches sits up in shock as the referee holds up two fingers; she can’t quite believe it, but Peaches gets back to her feet as she stands in the corner. The fans here in the Center Stage Arena begin cheering in anticipation; they know what’s coming as everybody waits for Dom to get back to his feet – SPEAR!

Geoff Penzer: Spear by Peaches! She put everything she had into that one, this could be it!

But she’s not done yet! Peaches drags herself over to the corner, and she climbs the turnbuckle once more. The anticipation building as Peaches stands on the top rope facing out across the crowd before she leaps with a moonsault!

Geoff Penzer: What a moonsault – NO!

He cries out as Harter gets his knees up! Peaches lands across them and rolls away in pain! Both competitors are down for a moment, but it’s Dom who gets back up moments before Peaches does as he scoops her up for the Samoan driver! Peaches gets driven head and shoulders first into the mat, but Dom quickly pounces wrapping Peaches up with the Empty Shell as he grapevines his legs around her body! Peaches quickly taps out to the dragon sleeper, and Dom releases the hold as the bell sounds.

Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match … DOM HARTER!

The Tenacious Little Bastard can just about manage to get to one knee, staying there for a moment before the referee helps him up to raise Dom’s hand in victory. The crowd continue cheering as Harter pulled that one out the bag.

Geoff Penzer: Just when everything was going against him, Dom Harter stealing the victory out from under Peaches here. If she had connected with that moonsault I dare say we’d have seen a different winner, but Dom Harter walks away with the victory … and more importantly, Jaelynn Ramsey has the momentum going into Showdown in the Sun.

Peaches rolls out of the ring after coming to, making a quick exit up the aisle as Harter remains in the ring to celebrate his victory.

Challenge opens up backstage with newly signed Ashley Maldano standing backstage with Amanda Johnson. Fresh off her debut match, she turns to look at Amanda who is standing there smiling, looking at Ashley.

Amanda Johnson: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome my guest at this time, the woman who made her debut here tonight on Challenge against Susan Kent, Ashley Maldano. Ashley, welcome to 3GW!

Ashley smiles and nods her head.

Ashley Maldano: Thank you thank you, I’ve had my eye on this place for a while now so to be here, finally, feels fantastic.

Amanda Johnson: Well we are happy to have you here. Ashley, you’ve been around in the wrestling loop for quite some time now. What has brought you to 3GW? I know you want respect from your fellow wrestlers, but are you here for any specific reason?

Amanda asks, turning to Ashley who smirks.

Ashley Maldano: Respect is one of the reasons I’m here, sure. Honestly I’ve been wrestling for a little over two years now but I never really branched out and dipped my toes in other ponds. With a sport like this if you want to be great, you need to experience everything. I want to be great. I want to be a legend. I don’t want to be people’s idea of great or legendary because I’ve never been one who is what people assume. I want to be great and a legend, my own way. I want to shake up this industry and show you don’t have to come from a family legacy or money, or get friendly with certain people to make a name for yourself or rise to the top.

Ashley says, before running her hand through her dark hair.

Ashley Maldano: Which brings me to the next reason why I’m here….the 3GW tag team championships.

Amanda looks at Ashley a little confused, before interrupting her.

Amanda Johnson: I’m sorry...the Tag Team Championships? Do you even have a partner…?

She asks in confusion as Ashley smirks once more.

Ashley Maldano: No. I do not. But that isn’t stopping me from my goal. Tag team wrestling has always interested me. Ever since my sister and I teamed together long ago. I learned a lot from that team..which is why I feel like I have an advantage going into this. I learned what qualities you should have in a partner. I learned what you should look for and what the team should have. Which brings me to the hunt.

Amanda Johnson: Hunt?

Ashley Maldano: Uh-huh. The official hunt for a tag team partner. You see Amanda...when I see something I want...I have this problem about doing what I have to do to get it...I don’t stop till I get it...I’m possessive like that.

She smiles, before glaring up at her.

Ashley Maldano: I know what I want...and what I want is the 3GW tag team championships.

Before Amanda could say anything else, a cryptic Ashley left the scene...

★★★ Showcase Match - Singles ★★★
3GW 15 CHAMPIONSHIP
[c] Terrence Tillman vs. Jaelynn Ramsey

"No Regrets" by the Sohodolls begins to play throughout the venue. A small cloud of smoke appears on stage, outlining the silhouette of a petite woman. The woman, revealed to be Jaelynn Ramsey walks through the cloud and onto the ramp.

Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the 3GW 15 Championship! Introducing first, from Oakland, California! Weighing in at 122 pounds… JAELYNN RAMSEY!

She walks down the ramp completely ignoring the fans. She then walks up the steel steps, entering through the ring ropes. As the music fades out, she backs into a turnbuckle, doing a last second stretch before go-time.

Geoff Penzer: Jaelynn Ramsey pulled off one hell of a coup earlier tonight when Dom Harter revealed himself as both peaches mystery opponent, as well as Jaelynn’s partner for Showdown in the Sun. With her partner defeating Peaches earlier tonight, Jaelynn’s got all the momentum. But if she pulls off the upset tonight, then Jaelynn will hold nearly all the cards.

As the beginning horn sound that starts “Forever” blasts through the arena, Terrence Tillman runs out to the stage. Running back and forth shouting and waving his arms in the air motioning for the fans to get on their feet. He stops in the center and stretches his arms out to either side shouting “It’s Time” at the top of his lungs. Tillman starts his march to the ring with a smile on his face, slapping hands of the kids in the audience letting out an occasional “Wooo!” or “Yeah baby!”

Melanie Sierra: And her opponent, from Orlando, Florida! Weighing in at 230 pounds! He is the reigning 3GW 15 Champion… “Terrific” TERRENCE TILLMAN!

Tillman rolls into the ring under the bottom rope and runs to each corner pointing to the fans, clapping his hands, and feeding off the crowd reaction.

Geoff Penzer: Terrence Tillman’s worst nightmare was confirmed when Jordan Cain made his return two weeks ago.Triple T thought he had finally gotten the Mayor of Hollywood out of his hair. But not only is Cain back, but he’s still got his target set on Triple T. We know who Cain is pulling for in this match. Will the Mayor of Hollywood make his presence felt and influence the outcome of this match in Jaelynn’s favor?

The match starts with a lock up from Tillman and Ramsey. After jockeying for position, Tillman takes Ramsey and easily moves her into the crowd. While Triple T’s got Ramsey pressed up against the turnbuckles, the ref gives them until the count of five to break it up.

As soon as Tillman lets go, Ramsey rakes him across the eyes. The crowd continue to boo when she takes Tillman, moves him into the corner and nails him with a series of chops.

She then mounts herself on top of Tillman begins firing off a series of right hands.

Geoff Penzer: Look at Ramsey go! She’s laying into Tillman with those punches!

Geoff Penzer: Thus far, Ramsey’s gotten the better of Tillman. Her confidence has to be sky high after securing the Tenacious Little Bastard as her partner.

While Tillman gets up on the outside, Ramsey runs into the ropes. When she returns, the crowd cheers as Tillman slides back in and brings her down with a leaping reverse STO.

Geoff Penzer: Pride Before The Fall!

Peaches: Dom Freakin’ Harter!

The cry can be heard throughout the hallways as Peaches walks through them with her head in her hands. Still fresh off her defeat, Peaches looks tired and sweaty as she stops in front of Amanda Johnson.

Peaches: She got Dom Harter!

Amanda Johnson: I certainly wasn’t expecting him to be the mystery partner.

Amanda states the obvious as Peaches is still coming to terms with what just happened.

Amanda Johnson: And that has to be a disappointing loss tonight, but are you now looking forward to the tag match at Showdown in the Sun?

Peaches: I can’t look forward to nothing right now, Amanda. I’m still wondering what he was thinking…he’s my friend! He’s Dan’s friend! I’m the bassist in his band for God’s sake! And he went and sided with Jaelynn Freakin’ Ramsey!

The name is said with venom as Peaches clenches her fists; she’s that close to punching the nearest wall, but she manages to resist. Amanda Johnson begins to worry, as evident by the expression on her face, as Peaches continues to freak out before her.

Amanda Johnson: He might’ve had his reasons…

Peaches: Bullshit! And he said he turned over a new leaf? The knife in my back says different…

But both women fall silent as they turn and stare at the approaching Dom Harter. He stops in front of them, looking towards Peaches as he simply says.

Dom Harter: Bygones…

Before he walks away, leaving a bewildered Peaches behind with Amanda Johnson as the show cuts back to ringside.
