REVO1 PRESENTS TUESDAY NIGHT LEGACY 12/07/21
Michael Diamond and Cassandra Starr-Diamond are already in the ring as they welcome everyone to the Go-Home Show of Legacy before Christmas Chaos.
Michael Diamond: It’s so good to be here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada!
Cheap pop ensues.
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: We have an amazing show for you all as it’s our FINAL show before we complete our “Northern Invasion” of Canada, culminating in the biggest show of the year… Christmas Chaos!
Michael Diamond: And that’s exactly why we’re out here tonight; to talk about Christmas Chaos!
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: Though we all know that Legacy is the superior brand, we both feel like having Jin Min-jun and Maggie Lockheart headlining Christmas Chaos just isn’t enough!
Michael Diamond: Which is why at Christmas Chaos… we are challenging Kylie Moore and Cecilia Ortiz!
The fans cheer for this announcement, there being a bit of interest to see the Revo1 Owner and Sin GM throw down with the two GMs of Legacy.
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: Sounds like you all want to see that, am I right!?
Again, more cheers from the fans.
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: Well I’m sorry, but that just won’t be happening!
The fans boo as Cassandra laughs.
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: See, you Canucks certainly must be crazy if you think that Michael and I would step into the ring again – especially against the likes of Cecilia and Kylie. I mean, come on, that wouldn’t even be a challenge!
Chants of “We Want Kylie” start up from the masses as Cassandra simply rolls her eyes.
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: No, what my dear husband was alluding to is that at Christmas Chaos – four members of Legacy will face off against four members of Sin in a battle for brand supremacy!
Michael Diamond: That’s right Cass and though we don’t typically promote our competition, we implore you all to tune in to next week’s edition of Sin to find out just who all will be representing each show in a winner-take-all showdown at Christmas Chaos!
Diamond waits for the crowd to settle down a bit before he continues.
Michael Diamond: Now then, in regards to tonight… in order for us to preserve the integrity of our main event at Christmas Chaos, we’ve decided to give our main eventers, Jin Min-jun and Maggie Lockheart, the night off!
The fans boo this as Michael looks around, shocked.
Michael Diamond: Now, now – no reason for all that! We still have a great show tonight!
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: That’s right; we’ve got Jessie Lee defending her Rising Star Championship against Amber Payne in tonight’s Main Event!
Michael Diamond: Not just that; but the match will take place inside a Cage of Death match!
The fans cheer for the brutality of the main event as Michael and Cassandra smile at each other.
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: So… without further ado… que le spectacle commence (let the show begin)!

Match #1 Danielle Griffin vs. Serena Storm
Danielle Griffin and Serena Storm share a brief friendly conversation before the match before shaking hands as the bell rings. Serena moves in first as they lock up in a standard collar-and-elbow tie up, before Danielle rotates behind her opponent. Griffin goes for a quick Release German Suplex but Storm rotates through and lands on her feet! As Danielle gets up, she turns right into Serena, who dives into her with a Running Shoulder Tackle that knocks her to the mat. Both women bounce back up as Griffin takes a swing at Storm, only for Serena to duck it, twist behind her opponent, and slam her down to the canvas with a Sit-Out Mat Slam! Storm reaches forward and traps Danielle’s leg against her body as she keeps her shoulders pinned to the mat…
One…
Kick-out!
Serena is the first to get up as she charges at Griffin. Danielle catches her and tosses her up into the air, only Storm flips through and catches Griffin with a Pop-Up Hurricanrana! Danielle stumbles into the corner as Serena follows it up with a Cartwheeling Handspring Back Elbow! Griffin staggers away from the ropes as Storm’s relentless assault continues, this time she twists Danielle down to the mat with a Swinging Neckbreaker/Back-Roll Splash Combo! Serena remains on top as the referee makes the count…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
It’s been all Storm thus far as Serena pulls her opponent up and doubles her over with a kick to the midsection, Storm bounces off the nearby set of ropes as she looks for the Corkscrew Axe Kick but Griffin manages to catch her on the way back with the "Blackwood" (Superkick)! The move caught Serena right under the jaw and dropped her to the mat like a bag of bricks but Danielle was unable to capitalize, the move made purely out of desperation. Regaining her bearings, she finally crawled over and made the cover…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Griffin had, apparently, waited too long to capitalize as she knew the fight was far from over. She pulled Storm up and tossed her into the corner, where she pummeled her with a series of Punches in the Corner. Satisfied with the amount of damage the strikes had done, Danielle then locked her arms around Serena’s head and ran towards the center of the ring, driving her face-first into the mat with a Running Bulldog! Once more, Griffin went for the cover…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Danielle forced Storm up as she wrapped her arms around her waist and began to set her up for a Belly-to-Back Suplex! As Griffin lifted her up, Serena rotated up and over her shoulders, landing behind her opponent. Before Danielle knew what was happening, Storm was locking her arms behind her back and lifting her into the air, slamming her down onto the canvas with the “Storm Rising” (Sit-Out Chickenwing Facebuster)! Serena wasn’t finished yet, however, as she dragged Griffin over to the corner before she hopped up onto the turnbuckle, staring out at the fans. Storm then leapt into the air, spreading her legs and letting them bounce off the top ropes, resulting in her body to twist backwards and spiral down onto her opponent with the “Silver Bullet” (Starship Pain)! Serena hooked the near leg and made the cover as the referee made the count…
One…
Two…
Danielle managed to get her far leg up onto the bottom rope but the referee was in no position to see it…
Three…!
Winner via Pinfall: Serena Storm!
Serena Storm hopped up and down with excitement at her first victory in Revo as Danielle Griffin’s manager, Kade Mullins, got into the ring and began to argue the referee’s decision, pointing at his clients foot on the bottom rope. Hearing the commotion, Serena interjected herself as she forced Kade away from the official. Realizing what had happened, Storm went over to Danielle and helped her up. Griffin, visibly distraught, didn’t seem to want to hear anything Serena was telling her but, none-the-less, shook her hand out of respect. Storm’s first victory seemed a bit bittersweet as Kade and Danielle rolled out of the ring to give Serena her moment in the spotlight, regardless if she had truly deserved it or not.

The RevoTron comes to life as it shows the final minutes of the Glory tournament...
Silver went to the top rope, perched in waiting as Min-Jun tried to pull himself up. Sierra got him in the position she wanted as she cartwheeled off, looking for the Supervillain DDT (Rainbow DDT). Jin managed to quickly step to the side, avoiding the contact as Silver rotated through, landing on her feet. Before she could react, Min-Jun spun and caught her right on the chin with a Shot of Jin (Black Mass/Reverse Spin Kick)! Sierra seemed to be frozen in place for a few seconds before she finally fell backwards onto the mat as Jin rolled around in pain, clutching at his knee. The finishing move appeared to have done just as much damage to himself as his opponent as he screamed in pain; the announcers speculating that he may’ve well dislocated his knee or torn cartilage from the impact. Fighting through the pain, Min-Jun crawled over to Sierra, doing his best to make this pin attempt stick…
One…
Two…
Three…!
Winner via Pinfall: Jin Min-Jun
Fireworks and pyros went off throughout the arena as the fans gave Jin Min-Jun a standing ovation. Jin hobbled to his feet as Sierra Silver rolled out of the ring, Robert B. Goode assisting her up the ramp way. Min-Jun fought back the emotions as he pulled himself up onto a nearby turnbuckle and looked out at the fans, raising his arms up in victory.

Match #2 Eli Griffin vs. The Huffs (Arthur/Guinevere)
Eli Griffin stares down the Huffs as Guinevere moves to start the match but Arthur intervenes, instructing her into their corner. The bell rings as the more emotional Eli charges in but Arthus was ready, rolling him up in a School-Boy like move. Griffin rolls out of it but right into Arthur as the elder Huff twists around on the mat and connects with a Listo Kick that has Eli dazed. Griffin falls back into the ropes as Arthur kip upped to his feet and caught Eli on the way back with a Spinning Spinebuster, immediately going for the pin…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Griffin forces his shoulder up and tries to create separation from his opponent but Arthur stays on the attack, forcing Eli into the corner with stiff kicks to his midsection and thighs. Arthur backs up a bit, gets a running start, and looks for an early Helluva Kick but Griffin is able to dive out of the way. Arthur gets his foot stuck up on the top rope as Eli grabs him from behind and drops him on the back of his head with a German Suplex, bridging his back up into a pin…
One…
Two…
Guinevere is in the ring, stomping on Griffin and breaking up the count. Eli shoots a glare at her as she slinks back to her corner, slipping through the ropes and onto the apron. Griffin pulls Arthur up and slams him into the turnbuckle, rocking him with shot after shot of Knife Edge Chops, leaving his chest red as a result. Eli lifts him up onto the top and goes up with him, slamming him down with a Superplex! Griffin floats over into the cover, hooking the leg…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Eli pulls Arthur up, doubling him over with a stiff kick to the midsection. Griffin goes to bounce off the ropes, looking to follow-through with the “Flight of the Griffin” (Corkscrew Axe Kick) but Guinevere pulls the top rope down, causing Eli to lose his balance and topple to the outside. Griffin crashes hard and appears to hurt his shoulder as Guinevere looks on, concerned. Arthur laughs at his opponent as he rolls out of the ring and looks to capitalize on the injury, slamming Eli shoulder-first into the ring post. Per the referee’s instructions, Arthur rolls Griffin back into the ring as he follows him in, lifting Eli up onto his shoulders, looking for the “Solar-Plex” (Darren Young’s “Gut Check”)! Griffin manages to squirm his way out of the hold as he shoves Arthur into the corner, where Guinevere tags herself in. Arthur is irate with his sister as the two argue, allowing Eli the opportunity to rush in and catch him under the chin with the Corkscrew Elbow Smash! Arthur falls to the mat and rolls to the outside as Guinevere bounces off the second rope, catching Griffin with a Springboard/Moonsault DDT! The younger Huff sibling goes for the cover…
One…
Two…
Th-Kick-out!
Eli barely manages to get the shoulder up as Guinevere can’t believe he kicked out. She pulls Griffin up, driving him nose-first into the mat with a Sit-Out Facebuster! Guinevere quickly scampers over to the corner, pulling herself up and measuring the distance from the top rope to her opponent. Guinevere leaps off, looking for the “Ciseaux” (Candy Lee’s “Split Ends” Leg Drop) but Eli is able to roll out of the way at the last second. Guinevere lands precariously and is slow to her feet as Griffin catches her on the rise with the “Gangsta Lovin'” (Corkscrew Calf Kick)! Eli crawls into the cover…
One…
Two…
Arthur breaks up the pin, pulling Eli off of his sister and slamming him shoulder-first into the turnbuckle. Griffin screams out in pain as Arthur pulls him back and lifts him up, dropping him rib-first into his knees with the “Solar-Plex” (Darren Young’s “Gut Check”)! Eli has the wind knocked out of him as he tries to get himself up but Guinevere is quick to capitalize, rushing in and driving his skull into the canvas with a sickening “Plié of Pain” (Seth Rollins’ “Curb Stomp”)! Guinevere goes for the cover but the referee is too distracted with trying to get Arthur back into his corner to see it. By the time the eldest sibling has finally acquiesced to the official’s demands, a count of “five” has already been made by the fans in attendance. The referee slides down, finally making the count…
One…
Two…
Thr-Kick-out!
At the very last possible second, Eli kicks out of the finishing move as Guinevere is beside herself. She and her brother begin to argue again as Griffin rolls over to the ropes, using the time to recover. As she finally refocuses on her opponent, Eli sneaks in a boot to her midsection. Out of desperation, he goes for the “Flight of the Griffin” (Corkscrew Axe Kick) once more but Guinevere is able to intercept, catching Griffin on the way back with a Snap Powerslam! Guinevere goes to the top rope, looking for the “Soubresaut” (Finn Balor’s “Coup de Grâce”) but before she can fly off, Arthur tags himself in. Guinevere stares at her brother in frustration as Arthur demands she get down from off the top rope. The two siblings continue to bicker, allowing Eli to strike, pushing Arthur into the ropes and tripping Guinevere up. The younger Huff sibling crashes onto the turnbuckle, crotching herself up, as Griffin pulls Arthur into him and slams him down with the Falcon Arrow, pinning Arthur’s shoulders to the mat and hooking the leg…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Eli stays on the attack, pulling Arthur up and dropping him down onto his knee with an Atomic Drop! Arthur staggers around the ring holding his tailbone as Griffin moves in for the kill, connecting on the “Pimp Mobile” (Swinging Neckbreaker)! Eli slips into the cover once more…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Griffin moves in to continue the assault but Arthur latches himself onto the referee, preventing Eli from doing any real damage. With the official distracted, Arthur swung his leg back, catching Griffin right between the legs, sneaking in a Low Blow. Eli doubled over as Arthur ran off the ropes, driving his boot right into Griffin’s face with the “Jeté” (Drew McIntyre’s “Claymore”)! Arthur pounced on him for the cover as the official made the count…
One…
Two…
Suddenly, Guinevere came flying off the top rope, crashing down onto her brother with the “Soubresaut” (Finn Balor’s “Coup de Grâce”), breaking up the pin fall. Everyone looked on in shock as Guinevere briefly stared down at her brother before rolling him onto his back and dragging Eli over him. The referee cast the younger Huff sibling a sideways glance as she instructed the official to “make the count”…
One…
Two…
Three…!
Winner via Pinfall: Eli Griffin!
Guinevere Huff rolled out of the ring and walked backwards up the ramp way, admiring her handiwork with a smirk on her face. Eli Griffin came to, questioning the official on just how he had won, as Arthur Huff began to recover in the ring. Recalling the final moments of the match, Arthur glared up at his sister as he pushed himself to his knees. Before he could rise up and retaliate against his sibling, Eli caught him with the “Flight of the Griffin” (Corkscrew Axe Kick), enacting a measure of revenge for his injured brother as Guinevere turned and strutted to the back, leaving her brother lying in the middle of the ring.

The RevoTron lights up once more, this time showing the final moments of the Sin World Title match at Remembrance II...
Xander stumbles to his feet as Jin spins on his heel, looking for that “Shot of Jin” (Black Mass/Reverse Spin Kick) once more but XYZ ducks and sets Min-Jun up for the “X-stasy” (Pumphandle X-Factor)!
Trey Graham: “Shot of-” no! Xander dodged it!
Case Mitchell: And now he’s got Jin set up for the “X-stasy”!
Xander began to twist Jin up into the air but Min-Jun managed to rotate out of the hold, flipping backwards and landing behind his opponent. For a second, XYZ was confused as to what had happened as he turned to locate Jin, only to get caught with a “Shot of Jin” (Black Mass/Reverse Spin Kick)!
Trey Graham” Shot of Jin”! “Shot of Jin”! Jin connects!
Jin falls to his knees and covers Xander as the referee makes the count.
One…
Two…
Three…!!!
Winner and NEW Sin World Champion: Jin Min-Jun
Trey Graham: Jin did it! Jin did it! Jin is the new World Champion!
Madison Square Garden erupted into cheers as Jessie Lee went over to the timekeeper’s table and grabbed the World TItle belt. Sliding into the ring, Jessie went over to her partner and presented him with his trophy. Jin Min-Jun, weary and exhausted, simply smiled back up at her as he clutched the title belt closely to his chest.

Match #3 #1 Contendership for Rising Star Championship Xavier Coldwater vs. Darius Alexander
Xavier Coldwater crouches in his corner as he and Leigh Haught discuss strategy for the upcoming match while Darius Alexander paces back-and-forth like a caged animal. As the bell rings, Darius charges in, taking Xavier off his feet with a Double-Leg Takedown w/ Mounted Punches! Coldwater does his best to cover up as Alexander goes to town on him. Xavier finally manages to shove him off as both men reset, Darius catching Coldwater with a stiff kick to the gut that doubles him over. Alexander hooks him into his grasp and pulls him into his body, lifting him vertically up into the air and slamming him back-first onto his knees with a Vertical Suplex into Backbreaker ! Xavier grabs at his lower back as Darius goes for the quick cover…
One…
Kick-out!
Alexander irritably pulls his opponent up as he throws him into the ropes. Coldwater uses his agility to his advantage as he leaps up onto the second rope, flying back at Darius and finding his jaw with a Springboard European Uppercut! Alexander hits the mat and bounces up as Xavier meets him with a Running Dropkick that sends him stumbling into the corner. Coldwater kip upped and put the boots to his opponent, hitting a quick succession of Rapid Corner Kicks that had the fans counting along with him. After about the “seventh” one, Xavier forced Darius up as he flipped him overhead down to the mat with a Butterfly Suplex! Coldwater rolled in the cover as the referee made the count…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Xavier kept his “cool” as he pulled Alexander up, doubling him over with a stiff kick to the gut. Coldwater then bounced off the ropes, looking for the “Chill Axe” (Scissors Kick) but Darius was able to intercept, turning the high flyer inside out with a Roll-Thru Clothesline! Xavier’s head had hit hard off the canvas as he tried to shake off the near-concussion while Alexander took a few moments for himself, trying to regain his composure. As the official checked on the well-being of Xavier, Darius forced his way into the picture, pulling him up and spiking him skull-first into the canvas with the Cactus Driver! Alexander rolled Coldwater onto his back and made the cover, yelling for the official to make the count…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
The fans began to rally behind Xavier as he continued to grab at his head and neck area. Darius stays on the offensive, wrapping his arms around Coldwater’s waist and deadlifting him off the mat. Alexander twists him up into the air, looking for a Gutwrench Powerbomb but Xavier is able to rotate his body enough that he wraps his legs around Darius’ head and flips him down with a Hurricanrana! Alexander is quick to his feet again as Coldwater rushes and leaps off the second rope, flying back at his opponent with a Springboard Back Elbow but Darius catches him in mid-air, locking Xavier’s arms above his head. Alexander lifts him up, looking for a Full Nelson Slam, but Coldwater is able to break free, rotate in mid-air, and catch Darius in the side of the head with an Enziguri! Alexander drops to a knee as Xavier bounces off the ropes, driving his leg into the back of Darius' neck with a decapitating-like “Chill Axe” (Scissors Kick)! Coldwater quickly goes for the cover, counting along with the official…
One…
Two…
Thr-Kick-out!
Xavier stares over at Leigh, unable to believe this match is continuing, as the two quickly try to get back on the same page. Coldwater pulls his opponent up, lifting Alexander up onto his shoulders, setting him up for the “Send off the Clown” (Half-Nelson Electric Chair Driver) but Darius has the wherewithal to rake the eyes of Xavier, temporarily blinding him. Alexander easily slips off of Coldwater’s shoulders as he wraps his arms around his throat and arm, trying to force his opponent to the mat and lock in the “Plead the Fifth” (Coquina Clutch)! Realizing the danger he was in, Xavier maintains his vertical base as he stumbles toward the corner, running up the ropes and kicking off the top turnbuckle, countering the move into a Shiranui! Coldwater leaps up and hits the nearest set of ropes again, jumping up onto the second rope and flipping back towards his opponent, driving his feet directly into his chest with a sternum-cracking Springboard Moonstomp! Darius' eyes bulge from his head as he gasps out in breath while Xavier slides into the cover…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Despite being able to kick out, it’s obvious Alexander is in a bad way as he clutches at his chest. Coldwater pulled himself up onto the corner turnbuckle and began walking along the top rope, balancing with ease while he waited for his opponent to get up. Having Darius in the position he wanted him, Xavier turned, gave a slight wave to the crowd, and flipped backwards, looking for a Highwire Moonsault DDT but Alexander managed to catch Coldwater up on his shoulders. Darius lunged forward, launching Xavier towards the nearest corner as Coldwater fell down onto the top turnbuckle via the “Eye-for-an-Eye” (Snake Eyes)! Xavier stumbled out as Alexander went for the killing blow, grabbing his head and setting him up for the “Blind Justice” (Headlock Driver)! At the last second, Coldwater managed to wrap his arms around Darius' waist and fall backwards, hitting a Belly-to-Back Suplex! Due to their positioning, Alexander's neck snapped precariously off the turnbuckle post as he collapsed to the mat, falling onto his back. Xavier wasted little time as he moved from this position to the corner, pulling himself up to the top rope. Before the referee could thoroughly check on Darius' condition, Coldwater was flipping through the air, crashing down onto Alexander’s prone body with the “Absolute Zero” (Diving Double Rotation Moonsault)! Against his better judgement, the official got down and made the count…
One…
Two…
Three…!
Winner via Pinfall and NEW #1 Contender for the Rising Star Championship: Xavier Coldwater!
Leigh Haught slid into the ring and celebrated the big victory with Xavier Coldwater as the official finally checked on the health status of Darius Alexander, throwing up the dreaded “X” symbol, indicating that he appeared to be severely wounded. Xavier’s hard-fought victory was slightly overshadowed by the injury to his fellow competitor as he and his manager looked on helplessly while the medical personnel tended to Darius, paying special attention to his neck and chest regions. As the staff brought the stretcher down to the ring, the show went to commercial.

Main Event Rising Star Championship Cage of Death Match Amber Payne vs. Jessie Lee (c)
The Cage of Death is locked into place as the diamond-like structure differs from the standard four-sided cage. On opposite ends, the lower iron-grated panels have been replaced with barbed wire while the perpendicular sides are infused with glass plating; the top panels, however, maintain their standard steel cage bars. At the top of the structure is a scaffold that runs across the middle of the ring, the ends fused securely in place. The fans marvel at this “death trap” while both challenger and champion make their way to the ring, each drawing resounding ovations from the Canadian crowd thirsting for blood.
Jessie Lee shows no fear in the structure, making note of the various weapons that are strewn about the ring as Amber Payne bounces up and down, anxious for the match to begin. The referee raises the Rising Star Championship high above their head and then signals the match underway as both women circle each other before finally locking up in the center of the ring. Despite Jessie having a slight height advantage, both women are within the same weight class as neither is able to overpower the other from the onset. Amber sneaks in a few shots to the gut as she sets Lee up for a DDT-type move, only for the Rising Star Champion to shove her into nearby turnbuckle. Jessie follows up with a series of European Uppercuts that have Payne dazed as she looks to send her across the ring. Amber reverses the momentum, turning around and pulling Lee into her as she drops Jessie onto the back of her head with a Swinging Neckbreaker!
Amber bounces up off the mat and goes over to a nearby pile of florescent light tubes, picking one up. She turns back to face the Rising Star Champion only to see that Jessie has one of her own. The weapons collide together like a sword fight as the glass shatters in a massive explosion, sending shards everywhere. The dust dazes Payne just enough that Jessie is able to drive her broken shard into her exposed leg. Amber screams out in pain as she clutches at the gash across her right thigh, dropping down to a knee. Lee grabs another tube, this time crashing it off the back of Payne’s head as, once more, a plum of glass and smokes goes up upon impact. Amber falls to the canvas, a few trickles of blood flowing down her neck, as Jessie rolls her onto her back and makes the cover…
One…
Kick-out!
Payne has fought too hard and too long to let this opportunity pass her by as she forces the Rising Star Champion off of her and crawls her way towards the ropes. Lee goes for the next weapon, a metal baking sheet. She grips the aluminum-object tightly in both of her hands as she repeatedly sends it clashing off the spine of Amber, each time dropping the challenger back down to the mat. By the time Jessie is done, the metal is twisted and unusable as she tosses it aside and drags Payne over to the ropes, placing her head in-between the bottom and second rope and grating her face across the barbed-wire of the cage. By the end of all of this, Amber is bleeding from multiple cuts on her face, in addition to the previously opened areas on the back of her skull and her right thigh. Lee looks for her next object, finding a bed of nails and setting it up. She pulls Payne up and sets her up for a Suplex-type move but as Jessie lifts her up, Amber is able to shift and twist her weight down, spinning Lee around and dropping her face-first into the nails with a Tornado DDT!
A replay shows just how close Jessie came to having one of her eyes impaled as multiple puncture marks emerge across her face, droplets of blood floating to the surface. Lee tries to fight her way up to a standing base but Payne is quickly on her, knocking her back down to the mat with a Shining Wizard! Jessie collapses onto the mat as Amber goes for the cover…
One…
Kick-out!
Much like Payne, Lee isn’t willing to go down without a fight as she crawls her way towards the ropes. Amber wipes the blood from her eyes as she picks up an iron chain. Payne uses it like a whip, lashing Jessie across the back as the Rising Star Champion cries out in agony. Amber then wraps each end around her hands as she applies a variation of a Sleeper Hold, using the chain as added leverage. Lee fights against the weapon as the iron grinds against her throat, the flesh flaking away. Jessie somehow manages to get her hands in-between the chain and her neck, forcing it away and using it to take Payne off her feet by flipping her over her own body. Amber hits the mat hard but quickly rolled back to her feet as Lee charged in, leaping into the air and going for the BOOM! (Super(wo)man punch). Payne telegraphed it, however, as she struck out first, wrapping the chain around her knuckles and delivering a shot to the exposed side of Jessie, cracking a few ribs in the process. Lee hit the mat and rolled to the apron as Amber discarded the weapon and ran off the ropes. Payne launched herself through the middle and top ropes as she crashed into Jessie with a Spear, driving both competitors through the lower-panel of glass that made up the cage!
“Holy Shit” chants erupted from the crowd as referees and medical personnel attended to the competitors, various shards sticking out of Lee’s back while the top of Amber’s head was like a crimson crown. Nikki Payne rushed to her sister’s side, worried for her well-being as the fans could do nothing but watch the catastrophe that was unfolding. The challenger was the first to her feet to a resounding chorus from the fans as she staggered her way over to the champion. Warily, Payne began to pull Jessie up and force her into the ring but Lee was barely able to keep her feet. After practically dragging the Champion back to the apron, she managed to roll Jessie in as she followed after, making the cover…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Somehow Lee kicked out as Amber looked on, discouraged. Payne went over and grabbed a steel chair. Setting the chair up, she slammed Jessie’s face off the seat of it before rushing off the ropes. Amber leapt up into the air, looking for the Curb Stomp. At the last second, Lee pulled her face away as Payne slammed down, the chair folding around her ankle like a vice. Amber cried out as she tried to free herself but was unable to do so as Jessie spun around and nearly took her head off with a Discus Clothesline! Lee fell to the mat and made the cover…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Jessie freed her opponent from the chair as she pulled her up and forced her into the ropes. Both women awkwardly tangled up with each other and fell through and out onto the apron, a clear result of how battle-worn both competitors already were. Lee was the first up, forcing Payne up as she wrapped her arms around her waist. Jessie went for a German Suplex onto the barbed-wire panel but Amber desperately held on for dear life, grabbing the ropes and refusing to let Lee get the upper hand. Jessie pounded away on the back of Payne’s head, targeting the bloodied skull as Amber’s grip began to slip. Seeing her moment, Jessie applied the hold again as she fell backwards, ensnaring Payne’s entire body into the barbed wire with a German Suplex!
More “Holy Shit” chants as Amber was entwined within the twisted metal as she desperately tried to free herself, each move she made causing further damage. Lee used this opportunity to recover in the ring as the referee did their best to help Payne navigate her way out of the barbed wire. Finally freeing herself, Amber rolled back into the ring, barely able to make it to her feet before Jessie was driving her foot down her throat with a Big Boot! The Rising Star Champion slid into the cover as the official made the count…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Lee slammed her hand on the mat in frustration as she went over to the corner and pulled out a table. Deciding that this wasn’t enough, she found some lighter fluid and a match and lit the wood ablaze as Payne instinctively retreated from the heat. Jessie closed in on her, pulling her up by the bloodied strands of her hair and hoisting her up onto her shoulders. Lee began to stalk her way towards the burning table as Amber frantically thrashed about, trying to avoid the inevitable. As Jessie began to rotate Payne through with the BishBreaker (Argentine Backbreaker), Payne was – somehow – able to reach up and grab a hold of one of the top cage panels. In a fit of freakish strength, she hoisted herself up onto the panel like a scene out of “Spiderman” as she, now, clung onto it, staring upside-down at Jessie. Lee spun around perplexed, before she realized that Amber was above her. Placing her feet on the cage, Payne pushed off of it, flipping her body directly down onto Jessie with a high-impact variation of a Canonball Senton! Both women crashed back down to the canvas as, for the third time tonight, a “Holy Shit” chant broke out.
Both women were bloodied, beaten, and broken – but still they pressed on. Amber was the first to show signs of movement as she crawled her way over to the gap in the cell, where the glass had first broken. Nikki rushed to her side, sliding her the Rising Star Championship belt. Payne picked it up and held it firmly in her hands, staring down at the coveted title. Waiting for Lee to get up, Amber charged in, looking to use it as a weapon but Jessie caught her in-stride, laying Payne out with the “BOOM!” (Super(wo)man punch)! The title slipped from Amber’s grip as Lee went for the cover…
One…
Two…
Thr-Kick-out!
“Fight Forever” chants started up amongst the crowd as Jessie couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Lee tried to shake off the shock as she went over to the title belt, holding it up. Turning, Jessie stalked after Amber, intent on using the belt now. Nikki slid into the ring and grabbed at it, trying to prevent Lee from doing any further damage. The two had a tug-of-war with it until it, suddenly, flew out of their grip and up into the air, landing a top the scaffolding. Jessie seemed incensed at Nikki’s interference but was unable to do anything about it as Payne leapt up onto her from behind, locking in the “Soul Eater” (Asuka Lock)! Amber fell to the mat, forcing Lee off of her feet as she applied the submission hold, trying to choke the Rising Star Champion out.
Jessie fought against the urge to tap out as she looked up at her title belt hanging unsteadily off the scaffolding, each shift in the ring potentially forcing it free. But like her, it relented – remained steadfast. She felt her eyes roll back into her head, the oxygen to her brain getting thinner. Out of instinct more than anything else, Lee rolled onto her stomach; using every ounce of strength she had left to push herself up to her knees. Payne refused to let go, wrenching harder on her victim’s throat and arm, content to get Jessie to submit to her here and now. Lee pushed herself up, carrying the full weight of Amber on her back, as she staggered forward. They inched closer and closer to the burning table, Jessie’s feet beginning to falter as she felt the heat on her skin. As she pushed forward, Lee found herself staggering off to the side, missing the mark of the table and stumbling towards the ropes. Realizing that there was no turning back, Jessie embraced the inevitable as she launched herself through the ropes and through the other glass panel, shifting her body just enough that Payne absorbed the brunt of the blow!
More “Holy Shit” chants as Lee had, miraculously, broken the submission hold, but at the cost of her own body. Both women lay amongst the dust of glass as their blood pooled freely around them, each suffering additional cuts and scratches across the sides of their body, arms, and legs. Once more, Nikki rushed to her sister’s aid as the referee’s discussed stopping the match.
After what seemed like an eternity, the Rising Star Champion began to make her way up, her sole focus on the title belt that hung on the scaffold. Uncharacteristically, Jessie began to climb the cage, each move she made seemingly sending slivers of pain through her entire body. As Lee made her way up the side of the cage and onto the scaffold she fell to her knees, her vision blurry – her balance unsteady. Jessie started to crawl her way towards her title belt as Amber began to stir on the outside. Payne saw her opponent and reacted out of instinct, following her up onto the unstable precipice. As Jessie’s fingers clutched over the gold of her title belt, Amber descended upon her, grabbing her from behind and locking her arms in position for the “Pain Killer” (Kudo Driver). The belt slipped from her fingers and fell down to the mat below as Lee could sense the beginning of the end.
Payne arched her back and tried to lift Jessie up off the scaffold but the Rising Star Champion refused, kicking her feet wildly and managing to power out. As Lee touched down, she spun her body, catching Amber completely off guard, as the two twisted, turned, and crashed down through the burning table, Jessie sending them both to hell via the “LEEthality” (Spinning Double Underhook Facebuster)!
Not a single person was in their seats at this moment as raucous expressions of “This is Awesome!” mingled with “Holy Shit” chants. In addition, there were many in attendance that fell silent as they witnessed the aftermath of the carnage, the wooden table completed shattered and splintered into pieces, the typically white canvas now resembling more of a scorched and blood-stained earth. In the midst of it all, Payne lay unmoving on the mat, face-down while Lee lay off to the side of her, staring up at the lights. Aside from the shallow breaths each woman took, neither made any outward appearance that they were alive, so still were they on the canvas. Finally, Jessie rolled over, forcing her body into Amber as she tried to nudge her onto her back. Payne eventually flopped over as Lee collapsed on top of her for the pin fall…
One…
Two…
Three…!
Winner via Pinfall and STILL Your Rising Star Champion: Jessie Lee!!!
The fans gave both women a standing ovation as the referee checked on both competitors. Irritated at the final outcome, Nikki Payne slid into the ring and stalked after the Champion, once more wielding the Rising Star Championship belt as a weapon. Jessie Lee could barely stand as she had to crawl over to the ropes and lean against them, unaware of the threat that awaited her. At that moment, Serena Storm emerged from the back and ran down the ramp way. She slid into the ring, drawing Nikki’s attention onto her. Nikki swung and missed as Serena ducked the blow, spinning Amber’s sister around and planting her down onto the mat with the “Lone Star” (Spanish Fly)! The fans cheered for the timely assist from Storm as Serena picked up the Rising Star belt just as Jessie turned to see what had transpired. Storm respectfully nodded her head to Lee and handed her the belt, casting one last glance over her shoulder at the Payne sisters, before rolling out of the ring, a measure of revenge had by the young upstart on this night. Jessie forced herself up onto the corner turnbuckle and raised the title high above her head as Amber Payne crawled over to her sister, both embracing each other as the show came to an end.
