★★★ BEAT THE CLOCK CHALLENGE ★★★
Salem 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: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is apart of the Beat The Clock Challenge! Introducing first, from Oakland, California! Weighing in at 130 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 got her biggest victory today since coming over to Flashpoint by defeating both Zola Star and Cassius Reed in a Triple Threat Match at A New Odyssey! Many, myself including, will note that it was Ramsey that stole that match from Zola Star. Will Ramsey be able to steal the time to beat out from underneath Lowri Moss in this Beat The Clock challenge? I know that Ramsey would love for nothing more than to put the screws to Moss just one more time.
"I'll get you my pretty... and your little dog too!"
The funky drum beat and riff of 'Phenomena' by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs fills the arena and the quirky yet energetic Salem appears at the entrance wearing a hooded dark purple cloak with silver trim, the hood pulled over her eyes. She carries a silver cane, the top a silver claw gripping a dark purple crystal that has a plasma globe effect. She's tapping her foot and bopping her head to the beat...
She raises both hands and motions for the fans to get hyped, swinging the cane, then bops her way toward the ring in time with the song, popping her shoulders up and down, swaying her arms around with a coy smile and wink to the audience.
She steps up the ring steps, throws her hood back, clutches the top rope and puts her feet on the bottom rope, gazing around and rocking up and down on the ropes...
She slides through the ropes, twirls off her cloak with a flourish and drops to a knee in the center of the ring, extending her arms out holding up the cane and playing to the crowd as the music fades. She takes the cloak and cane to the corner, ready for the match.
Melanie Sierra: Her opponent, from Laval, Quebec, Canada! She is “Something Like a Phenomena”... SALEM!
Geoff Penzer: The former United States Champion had some choice words for James Edwards. I can’t exactly fault Salem, and even Savannah Taylor, for feeling they way they do towards James Edwards with the way that he’s carried that US Title since winning it. Salem has vowed that this issues between the two of them aren't over. But right now, The Phenomena has got a huge opportunity at hand.
Ramsey tries to get the jump on Salem to start off the match. But Salem is able to catch her with a high-velocity spinning backfist! After throwing Ramsey down with an Ipponzeoi (one-armed shoulder throw), Salem follows up with a standing moonsault senton! The cheers continue as she turns over into a lateral press for the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Ramsey kicks out.
Geoff Penzer: Ramsey tried to get an early advantage on Salem. But The Witch saw it coming a mile away and made her pay big time.
Salem takes Ramsey, moves her into the corner and delivers multiple knife edge chops. After sending Ramsey into the far corner with an irish whip, Salem charges across the ring, bashes her with a corner space rolling elbow and goes to follow up with a one-handed bulldog. But Ramsey is there to shove Salem off of her and into the ropes. When Salem returns, the crowd boos when Ramsey tackles her down with a Lou Thesz Press and follows up with punches to the face! After grabbing two handfuls of Salem’s hair, Ramsey pulls the former US Champ up off the mat, runs and tosses her across the ring! Ramsey heads over, pulls Salem up by the hair, runs and throws her across the ring with another toss! Once Salem picks herself up off the mat, Ramsey runs over and motions for a lariat… only for Salem to duck and dump her over the top rope and to the floor! As Ramsey picks herself up on the floor, Salem slingshots herself out onto the apron before knocking Ramsey down with a running Penalty Kick! She then steps back inside before playing up to the crowd.
Geoff Penzer: Salem just clocked Ramsey with that hard kick to the face! But she has to be aware of the clock! She doesn’t have time to play to the crowd in this one!
Salem turns and sees Ramsey trying to get back to her feet. So she turns and heads into the far ropes. When Salem comes back, the crowd explodes with cheers when she hurls herself over the top rope and knocks Ramsey down with a somersault plancha!
Geoff Penzer: The Witch just took flight without her broom before wiping out Ramsey on the outside!
Salem picks up Ramsey and rolls her back inside. After rolling herself back in, she makes the cover.

Ramsey gets her foot on the bottom rope.
Salem takes Ramsey, heads into the corner and slams her face-first into the top turnbuckle. After turning Ramsey around, Salem lights up her chest with knife edge chops. She then sends Ramsey into the far corner with an irish whip. The Witch then runs across the ring, connects with a second corner space rolling elbow and follows up with a one-handed bulldog! But Salem isn’t done. Instead of going for the cover, Salem steps out onto the apron and begins to climb the turnbuckles. Once Ramsey gets back to her feet and turns around, Salem leaps off for a diving overhead chop. But the crowd ends up booing after Ramsey nailing her with a punch to the midsection on the way down! Ramsey then grabs a hold of the doubled over Salem, runs and chucks her through the ropes and to the floor. While Salem starts to pick herself up on the floor, Ramsey turns and runs into the far ropes. When she returns, the crowd boos when she leaps through the ropes and knocks Salem down with the suicide dive!
Geoff Penzer: Ramsey leaps through the ropes before taking Salem down with a Jaegerbomb!
Ramsey quickly mounts herself on top of Salem before raining down rights and lefts to the face. She then gets off of Salem, rolls back into the ring and yells at the ref to keep counting.

Geoff Penzer: Salem’s trying to get back to her feet! But the ref is nearly halfway to counting her out! She must pick up the pace!

Salem pulls herself up using the edge of the apron. After Salem pulls herself up using the ropes, Ramsey runs over and goes for a dropkick. But Salem grabs the top rope with both hands and leans back to avoid the kick. Once Ramsey gets back up, Salem doubles her over with a shoulder thrust. She then launches herself back in with a sunset flip. The capacity crowd is on their feet as Salem tries to pull Ramsey down. Ramsey can be seen swinging her arms wildly as she tries to regain her balance. Once she does, she drops down to her knees to pin Salem.

The ref stops his count as soon as he sees Ramsey hanging onto the ropes. He then gets to his feet and reprimands Ramsey. While Ramsey argues with the official, the ref kicks her arm off the ropes.

Geoff Penzer: I’m surprised Salem isn’t out of it after that hard DDT on the apron.
Ramsey takes Salem, marches into the corner and slams her face-first into the top turnbuckle. She then slams Salem again face-first into the turnbuckle. After turning Salem around, Ramsey nails her with multiple throat thrusts. She then proceeds to stomp away at Salem, sending her slumping down in the corner. From there, Ramsey applies a foot choke. The crowd boos Ramsey while the ref gives her until the count of five to break the choke.
Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…
Ramsey gladly breaks the choke and walks away… only to rush back over and apply another foot choke!
Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… FI-
Ramsey reluctantly breaks the choke. After a kick to the face, Ramsey reaches down, pulls up Salem and sends her into the far corner. Ramsey then charges full steam ahead across the ring before nearly knocking the air out of Salem with a lariat! She then takes Salem and sends her back over into the previous corner with another irish whip. Ramsey charges across the ring and motions for another lariat when Salem knocks her back with a back elbow to the face. After shaking off the blow, Ramsey runs back into the corner. This time, Salem nails her with a boot to the face. While Ramsey is dazed, Salem steps out onto the apron, scales to the top turnbuckle, leaps off and knocks Ramsey down with a missile dropkick! The cheers continue as she crawls over to make the cover.

But before Salem can deliver the move, Ramsey counters with elbows to the side of the head. After slipping down from behind, Ramsey connects with a superkick to the back of the head, sending Salem staggering forward before collapsing across the middle rope. The boos continue as Ramsey turns and hits the ropes. When she comes back, she runs forward, swings through the middle & top ropes and nails Salem with a Tiger Feint Kick!
Geoff Penzer: Ramsey with an ode to her fellow New Murder henchman, Annie Zellor!
Ramsey heads over, picks up Salem and then brings her back down with a facebuster! After pushing Salem over onto her back, Ramsey heads over towards the corner. She then scales to the top turnbuckle. The capacity crowd is on their feet as Ramsey taunts then. She then flips off for Down By The Jae (moonsault), only for Salem to roll out of the way. The crowd explodes with cheers when Ramsey crashes onto the apron!
Geoff Penzer: Ramsey missed! Maybe she shouldn’t have talked so much trash while she was up top!
Salem slowly gets up onto a knee before getting back to a vertical base. She looks over her shoulder and sees Ramsey getting up on all fours, then up onto her knees. So The Witch pushes forward into the ropes. When she returns, the crowd cheers when she brings Ramsey down with a somersault cutter! She makes the cover.
