“Jager Yoga” by CSS begins to play throughout the arena as pink and purple strobe lights cover the aisleway. From out behind the curtain step Laurel Anne Hardy and Annie Zellor to cheers from the crowd. They both make their way down to the ring in their matching ring attires, slapping hands with the fans on either side of the aisle. For this special occasion they have an addition to their ring attire: matching rainbow tiger face paint! As they reach the cameras, they treat the fans at home to a couple of extra fearsome #grrfaces.
Clement: Some may question how the Sparklebuddies got this championship match. But there's no denying the support that have from this crowd!
Grayson: They can have the crowd on their side all they want. Once that bell sounds, that crowd isn't going to help them win those title.
Then Annie runs up the ring steps and vaults over the top rope as Laurel slides in under the bottom rope. They both hop up on opposite corners where Annie raises a fist while Laurel takes a stage bow, flapping her colourful feather boa around. Then they both jump down and hug before taking their corner.
"Rockit" begins to play over the speakers as the SMWB step through the curtain to cheers from the crowd. After looking around at the crowd and nodding their heads in approval, the SMWB jump up and races down the aisle.
Clement: The SMWB have held those Tag Team Titles, as well as any FGA title, longer than anyone else. They're also tied for most title defenses. Can Max Powers and Landon Knight make it one more night? Can they get through one more month as the champs?
Grayson: Can they? Sure. But will they? I don't know...
After sliding underneath the bottom rope and into the ring, they push themselves up and head into opposite corners.
