Chapter 25: Where The Big Girls Play

• The crowd is very amped as each participant is and are at a fever pitch as the bell rings to start to match. The four meet in the center of the ring and a four way chop off begins with each wrestler giving the next a chop. After several times around the chopfest ends when Hanako nails Talia with a forearm.
• Sloane and Chance brawl along ringside with each other. Neither woman trying to use weapons, or cheat in any way, just using the environment to test their might with each other, as Hanako and Talia exchange strikes, in the ring, controlling the action for quite a while.
  
• The match finally breaks down.
• Weber and Kennedy fight to the outside while Hanako takes over on Areano. The two fight back and forth until Takeuchi gets Talia in a pinning position and Weber comes in and makes the save, then dispatches Hanako outside where she is met by Kennedy.
• The battle rages between the four, swapping in and out of the ring. There was a nice tower spot where Chance took the brunt of the tower, and Hanako took the least after bringing them down from the corner turnbuckle.
• After dispatching Sloane and Talia, Takeuchi puts away Kennedy with the Wheelbarrow Magistral Cradle.
  

Winner: Hanako Takeuchi (Wheelbarrow Magistral Cradle) at 12:21
NEW CHAMPION

• Kem has an infectious smile on her face early on in the match, a stark contrast to Stacy’s serious glare. Early on in the match, both women’s mindsets were starkly different, Kem seemed focused on having fun, while Stacy wanted one thing: Revenge. Stacy’s strikes were stiff and they found their targets, every time.
• Stacy became visibly frustrated, when she felt Kem was holding back slightly, so Stacy slapped her across the face, and the smack echoed throughout the arena. Kem’s happy go lucky attitude, immediately turned into an intense stare, as she began raining down stiff forearms. Stacy smiled and returned with right hands of her own, as the two lovers, exchanged right hands in the ring, Stacy ducked one from Kem, hooked the waist and lifted Kem overhead and connects with the DeVille Driver! Everyone in the Moda Center was convinced, that the end of the match was incoming, but Kem kicked out right before the refs hand hit the mat for the third time! Stacy sat up out of the hold, and pleaded with the referee, but his call stood as a two count!
• Stacy nearly went into a frenzy, as she threw Kem off the ropes, but Kem immediately responded with a big shoulder tackle that floored Mama Bear, and she followed up with a vicious Ground attack! Reigning down elbows to her Girlfriend’s head, and busting Stacy open!
• Kem looked primed to finish DeVille, once and for all and signaled for the end, hooked both of Stacy’s arms, and landed her Cradle DDT! But instead of going for the pin, she signaled that she was heading for the top rope! As Kem ascended to top rope, she assumed a moonsault position, but as she flipped over, Stacy rolled out of the way, and sprung back up to her feet! Stacy grabbed the groggy Dynamo, and connected with another DeVille Driver, but instead of bridging into a pinning position, she flipped over and planted her feet, without letting go of Kem, and with a scream, she deadlifted Kem up and over her head one more time, with another DeVille Driver, and this time, she picked up the win!
  

Winner: Stacy DeVille (Deadlift Double DeVille Driver) via pinfall at 13:44

• Before the match started, Tiami Erickson, came out and addressed the crowd, and discussed the seriousness of her injury, and would, unfortunately, be relinquishing the Macaria Championship. The crowd cheered her own as she leaves the arena, showing their appreciation for Tiami.
• Hannah Hartman and Christina Zdunich come out first and for a couple of minutes, exchange holds, in a back and forth contest, but in the end, Christina sends Hannah to the floor, and signals for a suicide dive, but as she’s running, to gain momentum, Lena Skye’s music begins to play, and she charges to the ring. Christina runs and Lena, and leaps up for a Rana, but Lena catches Christina in mid air and throws Christina over her head with a beautiful Overhead suplex!
• Cat Callahan runs out to the ring and stares down Lena in the ring for a bit before Hellraven, from the Rose City Academy, comes to the ring, and clears out the ring out of all other competitors with a series of strikes and throws. The crowd is fully behind her, when out of nowhere Jansen Myrrh cracks a chair over, stiff over Hellraven’s head, folding her over, and Jansen quickly pins Hellraven, and before anyone else can break the pin, the ref counts three!
  

Winner: Jansen Myrrh (chairshot) at 09:48

• Lisa and Blaise stand across from each other when the opening bell rings. Lisa squares up with Blaise, but as Blaise lands a chop square to Lisa’s chest, Lisa immediately tags out to Ana Hayden, and the crowd roars in anticipation as Ana and Blaise square up for the first time. Ana and Blaise exchange holds with each other for a couple minutes, but neither woman is able to maintain an advantage for long enough to take full control.
  
• Blaise tags in Lexi and the Pink haired wolf comes in with a smile on her face and a head full of steam as she charges at Ana and is able to land a headscissors takedown that sends Ana to the floor and sees Mathews tag in.

• Lowri and Blaise land a double Russian Leg Sweep on Anna Mathews, Ana throws Blaise out of the ring, and lands a Yakuza Kick on Lowri in the corner, sending her tumbling to the floor. Lexi rushes into the ring and ambushes Ana with a flurry of elbows to the head.

• The pre-match ceremony, including championship presentation, pre match introductions, and photos, all go off without incident. Blaise Fader accompanies Hana to the ring.
• As the opening bell rings, dueling chants of “Lets go Angie” and “Let’s go STRiFE” are shouted by the 14,000 plus. The two women take a second to take in the atmosphere, before both women charge in towards each other and begin exchange an intense flurry of strikes that emits loud cheers from the crowd. Neither woman gives an inch, before the ref splits the two women up. Blaise is loudly coaching, Hana, telling Her to slow down and close distance.
  
• Hana listens to Blaise’s advice and shoots the leg and takes the Queen down and begins working the arm, looking to set up for the wicked sister. After a couple of minutes of grappling, and working holds, Hana sees an opportunity to lock in her signature hold, but before she can get it locked in fully, Angie wiggles her way to the ropes, and breaks the hold. The crowd applaud at the technical showcase, being displayed by Hana.
  
• Hana immediately tries to take Angie down again, but the Queen keeps her distance and begins working her superior striking, and reach to keep Hana at bay. Angie lands a mean front kick to Hana’s jaw, that sends her stumbling to the canvas, and to the floor, but Angie instead of capitalizing, decides to take a quick breather, showing signs that she’s anticipating a long match up.
  
• The next few minutes continue with Angie in firm control. Continuing to utilize her gameplan to near perfection. She nearly lands a FG Kick, but Hana, is playing possum, and grabs the leg and locks in a perfect heel hook! Blaise cheers on anticipation as the crowd begins to anticipate a new Queen! Angie struggles to kick her way out of the hold, but Hana dodged the kicks heading her way, but instinctively, she puts a hand up to block a kick, allowing enough of a release to let Angie slip out of the hold, but before Hana can capture her, Angie rolls out of the ring.
  
• Angie has a visible limp as she heads back into the ring. Hana shows a much more confident side in her gameplan, slowing the match down and targeting Angie’s right ankle. Angie tries to fight back, but as soon as she begins to build any sort of momentum, Hana sweeps out Angie’s leg, putting her down again, and again.
  
• Hana signals for the end, calling for the Wicked Sister again, but this time, she’s able to lock it in! A struggle ensues in the middle of the ring, as Hana cranks back on Angie’s neck,the fans in the arena rise to their feet. Angie is able to power up to her feet, and knocks Hana off with a stiff elbow to the temple, steps back and connects with a beautiful Field Goal Kick! She covers! 1… 2… but Hana gets her shoulder up! Angie looks back, stunned, and immediately springs to her feet and Kawada kicks Hana in the head, over and over again. She steps back… a second Field Goal Kick! Using Hana’s head as practice for the upcoming season!
• Hana gets back to her knees though. Dazed but demanding Angie hits her again. Vaughn takes three steps back, charges, and one more time, boots Hana right in the jaw. Angie goes for the pin.
