Match Notes:
As soon as the bell rings, Anastasia Hayden walks over to Isabella Strickland and the two look ready for a lock up, but they stand down and smirk at one another before Isabella drops back onto the mat. The fans start to boo as they immediately realize what's happening as Ana drops down and makes the cover on Isabella

ONE!

TWO!

…

THRE-NO!

Isabella got her shoulder up! Ana looks at her friend in disbelief, trying for another pin, but Isabella overpowers her and sends her flying. As Isy stands up, she wags her finger at Ana, telling her it isn't going to be that easy. Ana puts her hands on her hips and looks back at her friend, nodding, and the two start to circle the ring. This time around there's proper action as Ana sends out a kick that Isabella checks. Isy backs Ana into the corner, sending a kick of her own that Ana can't absorb as well.

Ana gets out of the corner, throwing another leg kick, and Isabella responds with one of her own again. Ana tries to go high with a kick, but Isabella backs up from it, delivering a kick to Ana's midsection before hitting the drops and decking Ana with a shoulder check. With Ana on the mat, Isabella hits the ropes looking for something, but Ana rolls and forces Isy to hop over her, rebounding off the ropes, and Ana tries to leapfrog over her, but Strickland catches Hayden's leg and pulls her down into a heel hook!

She's putting a lot of torque onto the leg, but Ana manages to crawl her way toward the bottom rope for a break. Rolling over into the corner, Ana tries to take a breather, but Isabella is charging in, only to get tripped face first into the middle turnbuckle rung. Strickland stands up in the corner and gets sent flying with a monkey flip from Hayden. She's seated on the canvas and Ana drives her boot right across Isabella's back. Ana runs, grabbing Isy's legs, and floating over for a bridging pin attempt

ONE!

TWO!

NO!

Strickland kicks out well before a three and Hayden gets up, grabbing her own leg, and pulling it back for a switchblade kick right to the back of Isy's head. She tries for another pin, but just gets a one count. Isabella gets up in the corner, watching Ana charge at her, and puts up a big boot that Hayden runs face first into. Strickland steps up behind Hayden and lifts her up for a bridging back suplex! And she holds on for a pin

ONE!

TWO!

…

TH-NO!

After the break, Ana gets to the corner and Isabella tracks her there, delivering some stomps to her friend before picking her up, and chopping her right across the chest. Strickland throws a forearm to Hayden before putting her boot up and trying to choke Ana out! The referee forces a break and Ana drops to the corner, allowing Isabella to back up, and charge in with a basement dropkick to Hayden. Strickland tries for another pin, but Hayden kicks out before the two.

She starts to lift Ana up, but Isy's met with resistance as Hayden starts throwing some forearms at Strickland. Strickland tries for a kick, but Hayden grabs her leg, looking for a clothesline next, but Isabella counters it into a flying armbar! Isabella has it locked in tight, but Ana is able to lift her own body up to pin Strickland's shoulders down for a pin. Strickland gets out of Hayden's pin, rolling the two over, and she transitions from the armbar into a crossface! Ana is fighting to get out of it, but Isabella is wrenching back!

Ana starts to find a bit of a standing base, just enough for her to slip and roll out of the submission, driving her boot right across Isabella's chest after escaping. She lifts Isabella back up in the seated position, hitting the ropes, and going for another soccer kick, but Ana's leg is caught and Strickland pulls her into another heel hook! She gets it locked in, but Hayden remains focused as she starts to rain fists down onto the knee brace of Strickland, targeting that surgically repaired knee until she forces Isabella to release the hold.

Strickland is up first, grabbing Hayden, and throwing her into the corner. She charges in, but is met with a back elbow from Ana. Isabella tries running in again, but runs right into Ana's knees this time as she brings herself up to the top rope, coming off with a missile dropkick once Strickland turns around! Hayden lands hard on her back, taking a moment to recover, and the two start to stand as the same time. Ana throws the first forearm and Isabella throws one back even harder, stunning Hayden, and she follows through with a few more.

She hits the ropes, but Ana catches her on the rebound with a side slam backbreaker! Ana rolls onto Isy to make the pin

ONE!

TWO!

…

TH-NO!

Ana slaps the mat in anger, watching Isabella recover in the corner, and she wastes no time charging in with a yakuza kick in the corner! But she isn't satisfied with just one, backing up, and running in again, but Strickland catches Hayden! Strickland sends Hayden flying into the corner with a capture suplex! She pulls Ana away from the corner, going for a pin, and gets a nearfall from it. Ana gets to her feet first after the break, but she's obviously out of it as Isabella sees an opportunity.

Strickland throws a forearm to the back of Hayden's head for good measure before pulling Ana in for The End Is Extremely F'ing Nigh (Bridging German Suplex)! The referee counts the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

…

THRE-NO!

Ana just barely kicks out at the last split second and Isabella can't believe it. She stands up, throwing Ana into the corner, and Isabella lifts her up onto the top rope. Climbing up after her, Isy starts to hook Ana for a superplex, but Hayden fights back, throwing punches to Strickland's ribs. Strickland backs down, nearly sitting on the rope, and Hayden throws a hard forearm at her. But Isabella responds with a headbutt! Ana fights through it, throwing another forearm, and eating another headbutt in return.

Hayden rears back as far as she can before delivering a crushing forearm to Strickland! This one knocks her back and she gets caught up in the ropes! Isabella is hanging off from the top turnbuckle, trying to pull herself back up, but Ana won't let her as she stands up for a Romanov Grave (Diving Double Foot Stomp) onto Strickland! Ana rolls through and Isabella gets up on her knee, trying to shake off the pain, but there's no time to recover as Hayden practically runs right through her with She Was Only Seventeen (Running Single Leg Dropkick)!

She just about knocks her friend out and Ana makes a cover on Isabella

ONE!

TWO!

…

THREE!

Winner: Anastasia Hayden
Finishing Move: She Was Only Seventeen
Near Falls: Anastasia Hayden (3), Isabella Strickland (3)
Match Length: 16: 53

Post Match:
After the match and the booing from the crowd, Anastasia grabs the microphone from the announcer and looks at her fallen friend for a moment, trying to catch her breath after being through two hellacious matches in back-to-back days. Ana tells the crowd that what they just witnessed? That was the real main event. Just like how last night's match against Cosmo Cooper was the main event of this entire weekend. Ana says that she's more than capable of beating anyone on this roster and she proved it by beating one of the best last night and the second best in Liberty tonight.

She looks into the camera, saying that it doesn't matter who is fighting in these matches, what special guests they bring in; if it doesn't involve Anastasia Hayden? Then it isn't worth talking about. Nothing in Liberty matters unless Ana is involved in it and that's going to stay that way for a long time in Liberty. #TheSociety, Reeves, Taylor, and everyone else? They don't matter. Only Anastasia Hayden. And she says the sooner everyone realizes that? The better. She then drops the mic, turning to her friend, and helping Isabella out of the ring as the two head to the back.


BACKSTAGE

Isla was walking backstage trying to get focused for her match but she looked nervous. She tried to pump herself up, jumping up and down. She then nodded confidently before looking at the camera. She told everyone that Carina didn’t stand a chance against her and that she would be the new number one contender for the Anarchy Championship. Isla then nodded and walked off before the scene faded out.

BACKSTAGE
Backstage the cameras find the office of Nathan Callaghan, known to the two beauties seen entering his office as Big Daddy Nathan of course. Coral holds open the door as Nami struggles a little with a food service style cart, huffing about how things are always harder for her and it’s not fair. Behind the desk of course is Nathan himself, he looks a little weary but at the sight of the twin Liberty Tag Team Champions that falls away and a wide smile showing his white teeth appears.

Nathan Callaghan: Well here’s a sight for sore eyes. How are my lovely girls tonight?

Nami lights up and pushes the cart to the side of the desk as Coral moves to the other side to kiss Nathan gently before perching herself in his lap, her street clothes of a Summery sundress clinging in just the right places as she wiggles just a little when his arm goes around her waist. Nami starts taking things off the cart and it turns out that each of the little covered dishes has slices of cake inside them. Nathan grins at her and reaches to run fingertips over her jaw.

Nathan Callaghan: Like any of those would taste better than…

Both of the Azul twins giggle, as Nami perches herself on his other leg and picks up a fork, bringing a bite of double chocolate cake up for Nathan to try. Apparently it’s actually super delicious as his expression shows some bit of surprise.

Nathan Callaghan:: Goddamn that’s tasty though. What’s all this, you ladies can’t decide on which cake you want?

They look at each other and Coral laughs softly, making her assets wiggle.

Coral Azul: Big Daddy, it’s your big day too. That’s some bullshit that says a man doesn’t get to help choose his own wedding cake! This is just as much yours, and you deserve…

There’s a loud GASP outside the still opened door and the three look up curiously, Nathan setting the girls down and eyeing his baseball bat just in case it’s a violent interruption but as he goes to the door and looks out, there’s no one in the hallway. He shrugs and turns back, putting his hands on his hips in a way that showcases that he’s got a fine ass of his own in those pants he’s wearing before he shakes his head and comes back over to his desk.

Nathan Callaghan: Must have imagined it. Now ladies, my loves, this is a large goddamn amount of cake and I have myself some ideas on what to do with it.

He goes and slams his office door shut as the cameras cut elsewhere.

MATCH TWO: TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Carina Eventide vs Isla Carter vs Rylee McKenzi
wrote:

Match Notes:
Before the match can start, Rylee McKenzi walks out onto the stage, she says she’s sick and tired of being ducked around and that neither of the women deserve to be in the ring, she claims they need a real opponent and that the fans deserve better than what these two are going to do. Both women challenge her to join them in the ring as she makes her way down the ramp still mocking them.

Once she gets in the ring both Carina and Isla charge her and the bell rings, Rylee fights the pair off and throws Isla from the ring, with a kick to the head and a toss over her shoulder, she turns to face Carina with a slap across her cheek and a smirk. She yells at Carina to come for it, checking her shoulder to her ribs and spinning her around against the turnbuckle and holds her in the corner with a forearm across her throat, the official cautions her and eventually she backs off, but as Carina comes out she nails her with a hard kick to the face and then a sitout powerbomb to the mat, hooking the leg she gets a two count and Rylee slaps the mat, demanding the official count again, this time she barely gets a two count and Rylee gets to her feet, shaking her head.

Isla looks to come back in but Rylee hangs her up on the ropes and sends her back to the outside, she turns to a kick from Carina but grabs her foot and pulls up, sending her to her back she wraps her leg up and the other into a figure four, Carina, locked in the middle of the ring is forced to tap.

Winner: Rylee McKenzi
Finishing Move: Figure Four Leg Lock
Near Falls: N/A
Match Length: 5:58

Post Match:
After the taps, Rylee refuses to break the hold and the official has to intervene, eventually forcing the break, Rylee shoves him off with a sneer and rolls out of the ring, marching up the ramp to the back not even pausing to celebrate her win.

BACKSTAGE
The show cuts to backstage where Lizzy Taylor is standing by with an almost “cheeky” grin on her face. Obviously she is proud of her victory on night one and is already dressed for action for night two. Her attire is accessorised by the confidence beaming from her face.

Lizzy Taylor: Well well, last night I set out to do exactly what I said I would and I defeated Rylee thus going further in this whole March Madness extravaganza. I’ve been given a huge push ‘ere and I’m not going to take it lightly. Obviously the boss man sees huge potential in me so ‘e gave me this opportunity. I owe it to him and my fans who have followed me throughout my career to go all the way. Next on the list, is Trey Peterson in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Well no offense to ya love, but I just put Rylee through a table last night so I have no problem knocking you out backstage all the while grabbing some of that popcorn from the vendors!

Lizzy smirks.

Lizzy Taylor: I do love me some popcorn. Then once this match is over and done with and I walk away victorious while you struggle away with a slightly bruised ego I’m going to grab me a nice hot cup of tea and wait to find out who my next opponent will be in the finals. See you in the ring, Trey. You might want to strap on a bulletproof vest cause this Pistol ‘as you in her line in sight!

As always, Lizzy finger shoots the camera as the scene fades.

RINGSIDE
The arena lights cut out, plunging the fans into darkness for a brief moment until every screen in the arena, including all smartphones and electronic devices, display a set of animated cat eyes that scan back and forth before closing, once again plunging the arena into darkness before the house lights come back up.

BACKSTAGE

Tim Anderson can be seen walking down the hallway and looking for something or someone. As he reaches an isolated area where a few large equipment boxes are stored during the show, he stops to check his cell phone before looking around.

Tim Anderson: Well… This is the place. But I don’t see Brendan, do you?

The camera pans just as the lid of one of the equipment boxes opens slightly before a balled-up piece of paper is thrown out through the gap. It hits Tim on his back and drops to the floor. Tim turns around, spots the paper and with a cautious glance at the rest of the crew, he picks it up. It says “Read Me”. He unfurls it and discovers a short message scrawled across it.

Tim Anderson: Hi Tim, it’s me. I’m hiding inside the equipment box in front of you. BUT DON’T OPEN IT! Just keep reading the notes I’ve prepared. Thank you. Signed, Brendan.

Tim raises an eyebrow before looking up at the equipment box—where the eldest Callaghan son is peeking through the gap of the lid. Like a scared mouse, Brendan quickly shuts the lid close.

Tim Anderson: Brendan? Brendan, why are you hiding?

The lid opens, only for Brendan to lob another note, before it closes again. It hits Tim right in the face and he scoops it off the floor with a sigh. He opens it up and reads.

Tim Anderson: I’m sorry that it has to be like this but it has come to the point where I am deeply fearing for my life. Last week, I passed out asleep in the middle of my match. It happened again when I tried to watch it back on my computer. Luckily, I was sitting down on my bed and the fall didn’t hurt me. I tried to see my doctor to find out if there’s something wrong with me. Maybe I’m sick or something. But my doctor is away on holiday right now. I got a physical anyway and it all turns out good. Which is weird, right? I don’t know. I’ll wait for my doctor to come back. I trust only him.

The lid opens again and the next note shoots out through the gap. This time, Tim catches it though a little frantically. He unfolds it and begins to dictate.

Tim Anderson: So since I’m cleared to compete, I’ll be there in the ring tonight to defend the Trials Championship. It’s not like I have a choice. If I don’t show, my dad will fire me. I can’t let that happen. Let’s face it, I’m not like my brothers who are way more successful than I am so I won’t be able to find another job as quickly as they can. Plus, Liberty Pro is so close to home and I’m too lazy to move.

At this point, Tim chuckles as he shakes his head. He continues reading.

Tim Anderson: Anyway, wish me luck out there! Whatever happens, with or without the title, I promise to come back. I won’t disappear like Scarlett or Daniela. I hope.

Tim then raises the note towards the camera to show Brendan’s simplistic drawing of the distressed emoticon at the end: :/

With a solemn expression on his face, Tim turns to address Brendan who’s still hiding inside the box.

Tim Anderson: Of course, Brendan. We hope you won’t disappear like them and I wish you all the best. But before I leave, I do have one more question. Do you have any response to Voidstar’s statement last night about beating you “senseless”?

It takes a long moment before the lid opens and Brendan slowly pokes his head out just a bit. The fear in his eyes says it all as he gulps.

Brendan Callaghan: Senseless?

But before he can say anything else, someone pushes the lid down and Brendan along with it. It’s none other than Camila Abrines, one half of VPW’s Wildcard Tag Team champion, 2MF1. Her partner Kiana Masters joins at her side as the two interrupt the scene with mischievous smiles.

Brendan Callaghan: Hey!

Both girls hop up onto the equipment box and sit on it, trapping Brendan inside. Knocking repeatedly on the inside of the lid, it’s clear he’s starting to panic.

Brendan Callaghan: HEY WHAT’S GOING ON??!! TIM???!! IS IT VOIDSTAR??!!! OH GOD, IS HE HERE?!?!

Kiana bangs the side of the box with a fist.

KiKi Masters: SHHH! Shut up, loser!

Tim Anderson: It’s okay, Brendan. It’s just 2MF1.

Camila shoots Tim a dirty look.

Camila Abrines: Just?!

Tim Anderson: I don’t mean any offense. Just trying to calm him down—

KiKi Masters: What is he, 5? Hiding inside there like a pathetic idiot!


KiKi laughs as Camila rolls her eyes.

Camila Abrines: Listen here, Timmy, ignore the child in the box and focus on the two stars in front of you; the VPW WildCard Tag Team Championships and soon-to-be CWC World Tag Team Champions.

KiKi Masters: Yeah, that’s right! We’re gonna kick Warren and Seth’s asses so bad, they’re gonna join Trent in hospital! After beating Pride Pro, VPW is here to stay so 2MF1 are moving on up and we’re gonna show everyone that we’re the best tag team in all of CWC!

Camila nods in agreement.

Camila Abrines: Yeah! And this is what KiKi and I do! Seth and Warren!? They’re practically singles wrestlers! Kiana and I do that and we’re the greatest tag team of all time! They don’t have the chemistry we have, nor do they have the wrestling pedigree that Kiana and I possess. We were trained by Blyss Lockhart and Flex Johnson and recently we’ve been working with Ally Gregory. We are literally perfect.

Brendan starts to knock on the equipment box again, causing Camila to slam the back of her foot into it as she makes a disgusted look.

Camila Abrines: Ugh! Will you shut up!?

Brendan tries to protest.

Brendan Callaghan: But—

Kiana kicks the box with glee before he can even finish what he wanted to say.

KiKi Masters: Don’t interrupt us, you loser! Aaaaanyway, Cami’s right. We’ve been working with the best so we are indeed perfect. No one in VPW has been able to take our titles from us and tonight in Liberty Pro, it’s not going to be any different. I mean, look at their roster. People like Seth, Warren and Brendan here…

Both girls kick the box again, just out of spite. And Brendan can be heard yelling for them to cut it out.

KiKi Masters: They’re just no match for us. We’ll crush ‘em.

With a wicked grin, she drives her fist into her other palm for emphasis.

Camila Abrines: And we’ll do it together.

Camila reaches across KiKi’s shoulder and places her arm there with a grin.

Camila Abrines: Just like we always do, because we’re not just a team, we’re sisters and most of all? We’re 2’s My Favorite 1 and that’s why we’re going over #TheSociety tonight because us two?

Camila points at KiKi and then herself.

Camila Abrines: Together? We’re number one! It’s all in the name!

Kiana nods, a look of arrogance on her face.

KiKi Masters: That’s right. We make it simple for simple minds to get it and accept it! Simple minds like this one!

Laughing, Kiana kicks the box again to annoy Brendan.

Brendan Callaghan: Hey, who you calling simple minds??

KiKi Masters: 2MF1, and don’t you forget it!

She hops off the equipment box and starts kicking the shit out of it. Brendan yells for them to stop it.

Brendan Callaghan: HEY STOP!!!

KiKi Masters: What are you gonna do about it, pussy? Nothing, that’s what!

Slinging her title belt over her shoulder, Kiana laughs mockingly.

KiKi Masters: Let’s go, Cami! We’ve got work to do!

Camila hops off to follow KiKi before she pauses as she sees a lock for the crate to the side and she grabs it.

Camila Abrines: One second!

Camila giggles before taking the lock and she locks the equipment crate that Brendan was hiding in.

Camila Abrines: Hope you don’t suffocate… Not!

The two of them laugh evilly as they leave and Brendan cries out in a panic.

Brendan Callaghan: WAIT, IS THAT A LOCK I HEAR?? DID YOU JUST LOCK ME IN HERE?! HEY!! HEY COME BACK!!! TIM, HEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!

Tim Anderson: Don’t worry, Brendan! I’ll get you out! Just stay there!

Tim rushes off to find something to break open the lock while Brendan continues to be frantic inside.

Brendan Callaghan: STAY HERE?? OF COURSE I’M GONNA STAY HERE, WHERE THE HELL CAN I GO?? I’M STUCK!!! TIM, BREAK IT OPEN!!! I CAN’T BREATHE, OH MY GOD, I CAN’T BREATHE!!! TIM, QUICK!!! TIM!!!

Hearing no response, Brendan starts knocking repeatedly from inside.

Brendan Callaghan: TIM??? ARE YOU THERE??? TIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brendan panics even more and the camera tilts as its operator proceeds to help him. The scene cuts off abruptly here.

MATCH THREE: MARCH MADNESS SEMI-FINAL FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE
Lizzy Taylor vs Trey Peterson
wrote:

Match Notes:
A collar-and-elbow tie up starts off the match, but the two immediately take advantage of the falls count anywhere rule as they tumble out of the ring. As they stand up, Trey Peterson grabs Lizzy Taylor’ head and bounces it off the apron. But Lizzy recovers quickly as she pushes Trey back before kicking him right across his chest. With Peterson backed up against the apron, Taylor unleashes a series of stiff kicks that redden Peterson’s chest. She steps back, building momentum for a stronger kick, but as Lizzy throws her leg up, Trey catches it and lifts her up, slamming her right onto the apron! Trey begins to take control as he drags Lizzy up by her hair and throws her into the ringside barrier. The crowd boos Peterson and he eggs them on as he lifts Taylor up, throwing her into the ring post. With Lizzy on the ground trying to recover, Peterson uses the time to start digging underneath the ring for some kind of weapon, but he’s cut off as Taylor brings him down with a chop block. Kneeling, Trey’s in a bad spot as Lizzy nearly knocks him out with a facebreaker knee smash.Taylor drops to make the cover but Trey kicks out after two.

The sudden impact of the move nearly sealed Trey’s fate, but he was just able to get a shoulder up much to Lizzy’s dismay. Taylor lifts Peterson up, but he gets a burst of energy as he charges and rams Lizzy into the barricade yet again. It’s enough to give him some breathing room as he takes a second to recover before charging in yet again with a running knee to Lizzy’s midsection. Trey puts her down and starts stomping Lizzy, egging on more crowd members as he does so. Picking her up, Peterson throws Taylor onto the entrance ramp with a vertical suplex. A knee to the stomach keeps Lizzy in Trey’s control as he keeps bringing her up the stage. Though Taylor begins fighting back with some stiff punches, allowing her to get some fight in as the two end up brawling into backstage area. Trey tries throwing Lizzy into a production crate, but with her agility, she manages to leap up and turn around quick enough to leap off with a hurricanrana. She hits a back senton on the downed Peterson and makes a cover, but only gets a two out of it. A well aimed knee drop to Peterson’s face wears him down before Taylor picks him back up and slams his head onto a crate.

She tries pulling the dazed Trey back to the entrance, but he fights back and throws Lizzy right into the wall. A hard European uppercut stuns Lizzy long enough for Trey to pull her in for the cutter from out of nowhere that drops Taylor to the floor. Trey pins Taylor but he only gets a two count as the British native gets her shoulder up. Not wasting a moment, Trey gets right back up, and tries applying a cross face, but Lizzy is able to wake up and scramble free. A kick to Peterson’s face allows Taylor to get to her feet and the two wind up back out on the entrance stage. Another kick is followed by a snap suplex from Taylor onto the stage. She tries for a quick cover to just get a two count. As she goes to lift him up, Peterson throws a forearm shot at Taylor before Trey throws her down the ramp. Waiting for his moment, he charges in with a double leg takedown, and slams Lizzy onto the ramp with force. He tries turning it into a pin, but gets a two out of it. Having used the environment all throughout the match, Trey doesn’t stop once they get back ringside and he whips Lizzy into the steel steps. As they break apart, Peterson lifts Taylor up into a powerbomb position, but she’s able to float over and turn it into a DDT onto the steps! Lizzy makes the pin Somehow, Trey kicks out almost immediately after the two count and is back on his feet! Lizzy can’t react as Trey hits her with a suplex onto the steel steps.

But instead of going for the pin, Peterson rolls Taylor back into the ring and puts the steel steps in next. Climbing in, Trey plants a boot to Lizzy’s midsection to keep her down as he positions the steps as he wants. Dragging Taylor up by her hair, Peterson pulls her over to the corner where he perches himself on the top. He starts lifting her up, looking for an avalanche powerbomb this time, but Lizzy counters it with a frankensteiner! Landing right onto the steel again, Trey gets up in pain, but he’s not ready as Lizzy swoops in and hits Trey with a Direct Hit (Dudebuster DDT). Taylor pins Peterson and gets the three count and the win.

Winner: Lizzy Taylor
Finishing Move: Direct Hit
Near Falls: Trey Peterson (3), Lizzy Taylor (3)
Match Length: 14: 52

Post Match:
Lizzy is announced the victor and she gingerly gets up to raise her hand in the air in victory. It’s announced that she would be fighting Cass Baumer or Avery Smith in the final match in a Hell In A Cell.

BACKSTAGE
Without a knock, Cass Baumer swings the door to Nathan Callaghan’s office wide open with a nonchalant expression on her face. She remains oblivious to her new boss’ look of anger as she proudly pulls back the chair on her side of the desk and sits down with one leg bent close to her body while the other foot touched the floor.

Cass Baumer: Tell it to me straight, bossman. Why’d ya hire me back? I was an interviewer for this place back in the day but now you went out of your way to give me a competitor’s contract. Last I checked, you and I weren’t exactly good ol’ friends so either this is punishment or you wanna let bygones be bygones ‘cause you’ve seen what I can do in the ring and you just couldn’t resist the chance to have me on your roster. Which one is it?

Her kiwi accent dripped from the words as she informally asked the question like she would as a Liberty Pro interviewer. Nathan tilted his head as he started to scowl Baumer.

Nathan Callaghan: Are you that retarded? I give you an opportunity right out of the gate, and you think that I’m trying to punish you? Really? You should be on your knees thanking me for making you relevant again because we all know that nobody gave a flying fuck about you when you were sent off to purgatory in the now defunct CWL.

Cass rolls her eyes.

Cass Baumer: Yeah, yeah. Thanks. The spotlight’s pretty nice and all but I can’t be the only one to realize you’ve been putting me in the most dangerous matches in this March Madness Tournament by far.

Her bent leg touched the floor and her arms crossed over her chest.

Cass Baumer: I mean, you’ve put Lizzy in a Falls Count Anywhere match tonight but I gotta be in the match with thumbtacks and light tubes? And the inferno match yesterday? That’s pretty damn fishy, right? Like you just want me headed to the hospital. What the fuck did I do to you to deserve that shit?

Nathan laughed and shrugged his shoulders.

Nathan Callaghan: What do you want me to say? That I intentionally put you in the more dangerous matches? Is that what you want to hear?

Nathan leaned forward over his desk with a smirk on his face.

Nathan Callaghan: Good, because that’s exactly what I did. Why? Because people want to see you get hurt. They want to watch you bleed and suffer for all the shit you’ve put them through with your Baumer Reports. But me?

Nathan leaned back in his chair and shook his head.

Nathan Callaghan: I want you to prove them wrong and laugh in their faces. So stop being a pussy and do that.

Cass’ eyes widened and she nodded.

Cass Baumer: Once I beat Avery Smith and the winner of the Lizzy Taylor versus Trey Peterson match… I’ll do just that when I walk out of the Hell In A Cell with the March Madness Tournament prize.

Her confidence through the roof, she leaned forward as well and started to whisper.

Cass Baumer: Between you, me and everyone watching this right now… What’s the prize? Can you give me the exclusive details right here, right now? Inquiring minds want to know.

Nathan Callaghan: Between you and me?

He leaned forward with a smirk.

Nathan Callaghan: Your job is to wrestle, not ask questions. That’s what I hired Tessa Sweet for when replacing you.

Nathan then raised his voice as he pointed at the door.

Nathan Callaghan: So get the fuck out of here and wrestle!

Cass Baumer: It was worth a shot.

She sighed and walked out of the office as instructed, preparing for her upcoming match with Avery Smith.

BACKSTAGE
Katie Anderson is sitting in her dressing room, she's wearing a grey hoodie that is pulled over her head and grey sweatpants. She sits in a chair with her eyes closed and her earbuds in she's listening to music and preparing for her match tonight against the reigning CanAm Champion.

She hears a muffled voice but continues to listen to her music and drown the world out, she is interrupted when her earbuds and pulled from her ears, she opens her eyes to see her wife Sam Tolson kneeling in front of her with a smile on her face.

“Hey you….” Sam gently caresses her wife’s cheek. “...you’re lost in the music.”

Katie snaps out of her trance and smiles at Sam.

“I'm sorry I was just preparing for Helena tonight, this is a big chance for me. I want that title, I'm tired of being taken lightly.”

Sam looks into Katie’s eyes and sees the fire behind them. “Believe me, love, no one who knows anything about this sport takes you lightly. I doubt Helena has, but I also know that you’re prepared for that. I can tell you from experience that she’ll fight like hell to retain, but I also know how bad you want that around your waist. And you’re as prepared as we can possibly get you. You can do this, baby. I have every faith that when we leave this arena tonight, you’re going to have that belt in tow.”

Katie smiles slightly, as she listens to her wife's words of encouragement, she stands as she reaches out to pull Sam up with her. She looks directly in Sam's eyes with a competitive desire.

“When I was in Empire I held two titles for a short period of time, now I have a chance at a new start, a chance to prove I belong with the best. I can not I will not let this slip through my hands, that belt is gonna look so good around my waist.”

She begins pacing back and forth as she gets hyped up. Sam watches her wife stalking across the locker room floor. Eventually she stops her, sitting on the bench and patting the open spot next to her. “Baby, sit down. If you keep pacing like that, you’re going to burn up energy and stamina you’ll need to win this match. Come here and relax.”

Katie sits next to Sam “I'm sorry I can't help it” She tries to relax but her right leg keeps bouncing as she sits. “This is one of the biggest nights of my career, I know I'm acting silly but you know exactly how I feel right now.”

Sam smiles, turning to straddle the bench, and directing Katie to do so as well as she puts her hands along her wife’s neck, rubbing gently. “I do. I very much do. And I know your stomach is in knots, and I know you’re nervous...but those are good things. If you weren’t nervous, and you didn’t feel those butterflies, something would be very, very wrong. Those are things that tell you this means a lot to you, and they’re there for you to use inside that ring to get the job done.”

Katie begins to relax slightly as Sam rubs her neck, her muscles begin to loosen up. “I don't know what I'd do without you baby, you keep me calm when the storm is raging inside” Katie lightly caresses Sam's face. “It won't be long now, Helena Noir is walking in with the belt, but I'm gonna do my damnedest to make she she doesn't walk out with it.”

“That’s my girl. Now...just sit here and let me take care of you. We’ll get you loosened up and stretched out...then you go out there and shock the world. Just know that regardless of what happens out there, I will always be proud of you, and proud to be at your side.”

Katie smiles fully as she looks in Sam's eyes. “After I win we can go out and paint the town red, this town won't know what hit it when we are through” She chuckles as she leans forward and kisses her wife gently.

Sam chuckles and kisses Katie softly on the cheek. “We will, and by the time we’re done, this place will never be the same again.”

“Damn right!” Katie laughs, they are interrupted by a knock on the door. A stagehand pokes his head in “Ten Minutes Mrs. Anderson” Katie politely nods, she looks in Sam's eyes, the competitive fire back in her eyes “Alright...the time for talking is over wish me luck” Katie stands and says a quick prayer before walking towards the door.

Sam gives Katie a playful pat on the butt and a kiss on the lips for good luck. “Good luck my love. I’ll be waiting here for you after you win that title.”

Katie returns the kiss and caresses Sam's face, no more words are said between them just an affirming nod. Katie removes her hoodie and sweatpants revealing her ring attire, she takes a deep breath and walks out the door as the camera fades to black.

Cass Baumer vs Avery Smith
wrote:

Match Notes:
There is a bag that is tied up in each corner of the ring and on each side of the ring outside are shopping carts filled with light tubes. When the bell rings, Avery immediately rolls out of the ring and walks towards the light tubes. She grabs one and twirls it around outside as Cass’ eyes widen. Cass walks over to one of the bags and she opens it up and looks down into it. Her eyes widen even more before she drops the bag and the thumbtacks inside of it spread all over the ring. Cass adamantly shakes her her before rolling out of the ring and heading towards the ramp. Avery gives chase and she swings the light tube at Cass from behind but Cass ducks it. Cass is on her knees and she tries to crawl towards the ring but Avery slams the light tube over Cass’ back and glass goes shattering everywhere as Cass drops to her stomach.

Avery cackles before running to a shopping cart and pulling it over to Cass. Avery grabs another light tube and kicks Cass over before slamming it over her chest and that one breaks. Avery grabs a third and slams it over Cass’ ribs and that one breaks over her as well. Cass is bleeding from the glass fragments cutting her up as Avery pulls her up and throws her into the ring. Avery gets in and pins Cass but Baumer kicks out after the two count. Avery grabs another light tube and she smacks Cass with another one and screams at her to stay down. Smith pins Baumer and once again gets a two count. Avery gets up and threatens the referee with a light tube, telling him he’s counting too slow and that he’s fucking her over. Avery then drags Cass by the hair towards the thumbtacks on the ground.

Avery holds Cass’ head down towards the thumbtacks but in a panic, Cass whips her head back and it hits Avery right in the nose. Avery’s nose starts to bleed before Cass dropkicks her back into the corner. Cass drops Avery with a reverse DDT and pins her but Avery kicks out after two. Cass then grabs a light tube from the outside and she shatters it over Avery, cutting Avery up in the process. Cass grabs a second light tube and does the process all over again. Cass then pins Avery but only gets a two count as Avery kicks out. An annoyed Baumer grabs another bag of thumbtacks and empties it out over the ring, spreading them out everywhere so that they are unavoidable and the fans are going nuts over it. Cass grabs another bag of thumbtacks and does the same once again and the ring is just a pool of thumbtacks now. Avery begins to stir and Cass charges her and goes for a spear but Avery dodges it before hitting Cass with a sidewalk slam. Cass’s back is filled with thumbtacks and she rolls around in pain, getting more thumbtacks on her body. Avery tries to ignore the pain from the thumbtacks in her body as well as she pins Cass.

Right before the count, Baumer manages to somehow kick out. Avery can’t believe it as she walks towards the ropes to reach into one of the carts for a light tube. Cass crawled to the other side of the ring and got a light tube of her own and as Avery charged towards Cass, Cass turns and whacks Avery in the face with the light tube. Avery drops to a knee and is out of it. Cass gets on the apron and waits for Smith to stir. When Smith does, Cass dives through the ropes and nails Avery with The Headline (a spear through the second and top ropes to an opponent standing on the apron to the outside) straight onto a ton of thumbtacks. Avery screams in pain as Cass makes the pin and gets the three count.

Winner: Cass Baumer
Finishing Move: The Headline (Suicide Spear)
Near Falls: Cass Baumer (2), Avery Smith (3)
Match Length: 11:42

Post Match:
Baumer is announced the winner and that she has advanced to fight Lizzy Taylor in a Hell in a Cell for the March Madness Final. She quickly rolls out of the ring and sprints towards the back in pain, obviously she wants to get all of the thumbtacks out of her body before her big match.

BACKSTAGE
Backstage the cameras catch up with Rylee McKenzi who is walking down the hallways, at the sight of the camera she turns with a smirk and cocks her head.

Rylee McKenzi: What you saw out there tonight? That was the real Rylee, I’m sick and fucking tired of watching the same crybaby bitches whine and moan about their standings, their place in this company… you know, they used to call me the plague, my role was to humiliate and eradicate the unworthy and somewhere along the line, I forgot who the fuck I am.

Rylee starts to laugh as she shakes her head.

Rylee McKenzi: But guess what? I’m here now and I’m not slowing the fuck down, forget your villains and your heroes, forget the people who call themselves fan favorites or what the fuck ever, wrestling? It’s about the fight, it’s about going out there and beating the fuck out if whoever stands in your way…

She steps closer to the camera with a casual smirk, shaking her head slowly.

Rylee McKenzi: So here’s a piece of advice to every last one of you, do NOT get in my way. Do not fucking come for me, because I promise you. You’ll be sorry if you do.

Rylee palms the camera aggressively shoving the camera man back as she marched away down the hall.

BACKSTAGE
Honey is in the cafeteria getting her food and a tray for Coda as she gets them the same and pays for both with her little purple purse.

Honey: You can keep the change. Thank you for the yummy food.

And Honey then sort of leans into carrying both of the trays and carefully carries them over to a table, eyes popping wide open and tongue poking out as she concentrates and gets to the table safely without a spill.

Honey: Co-da. I am here at the ta-ble and rea-dy to talk a-bout stra-te-gy and stuff.

She says as she texts her friend and sits down with both meals. However, the seat gets taken almost immediately, not by Coda, but Trent Grundy.

Trent Grundy: Ah, yes, food. Thanks, honey, you're the best. It's like you know me.

He rubs his hands together quickly with a glint in his eye. Honey becomes conflicted and sort of pulls the trays towards her.

Honey: Umm, this is Coda’s food. Like, we’re eating as a team before our BIG title match later. But you can have some of mine and I can by s’more.

Honey’s mouth goes dry towards the end and causes her slip of the tongue as she rehydrates with some water.

Trent: But…

He looks offended at Honey.

Trent: This is an injustice, I don't want to take your food.

Honey: I can’t give you Coda’s, or she will be very hungry for our match and my daddy always says that if you don’t eat well, you get all cranky.

Trent: Smart man… but, think about it… cranky Trent or cranky Coda, which one is worse?

He slyly tries to feign innocence and persuasion in his expression to get his way.

Honey: Ummmm….

She narrows her eyes and brings her hand to her mouth to sort of chew on her finger trying to figure it out. Honey had experienced and seen Coda in a cranky way, but she hadn’t seen Trent so much.

Honey: I know!

Honey gets her plate and takes a third of her salad, then a third of Coda’s salad, cutting a sweet potato in a third and then a third of Coda’s along to make Trent a plate of food up.

Honey: Even Stevens all around!

Trent sighs.

Trent: But, Honey… why do you hate me so much? Haven't I always been so nice to you?

Honey: What did I do?

She looks at him very confused and worried she was bad.

Trent: This won't be enough to fill me up. I'm not small. I'm the OG Big Daddy.

Honey clicks her fingers on both hands and pulls up her backpack. Her CWC Tag team title pokes out but she pulls out the lunch her dad packed for her with couscous, a peanut butter and double jelly sandwich on seeded whole wheat. A jar of fruit salad and plenty of pudding cups.

Honey: You can have some of these?

Trent wrinkles his forehead.

Trent: Do you have anything not healthy?

Honey nods and pulls out her secret pouch after she unzips it to find a dozen or two strawberry kitkat bars kept cool with her flask.

Honey: I have some yummy chocolate bars.

Trent’s face lights up.

Trent: I'll take those then, and we can forget about the salads.

Honey: How many would you like?

Honey says getting out three in her hand.

Trent: How about… all of them?

He taps his finger to his mouth, as if in thought.

Honey: All? But I brought some for everyone. One for Coda, one for Melissa, one for Katie, one for Nathan, I MEAN! Mr. Callaghan, um, one for Katie-

Trent waves his hand quickly.

Trent: I don't care about them, they'll be fine. They don't deserve these delicious treats anyway.

Honey: Ummmm, I don’t know.

Trent: Okay then…

Trent stands up, taking Honey’s backpack and attempting to walk away. Honey looks on with puppy dog eyes.

Honey: That’s my backpack!

Trent shrugs, holding it high in the air.

Trent: You don't wanna share, sweetie, it's not my fault. So, just gonna take it. Life isn't even or fair.

Honey frowns and gets off her chair, Trent turning away from her and walking off. She then charges towards him in such a manner.

MATCH FIVE: CanAm CHAMPIONSHIP
Helena Noir vs Katie Anderson
wrote:

Match Notes:
This match starts off with the two women meeting in the center of the ring, staring one another down before Helena Noir looks to start this contest off with a test of strength. Katie Anderson brings her hand up, going to meet Helena's, but she rears back and slaps Noir across the face! The slap turns Noir around and Anderson gets a waist lock on her, but Helena recovers quickly enough to start throwing some elbows back into Katie's face to break free.

Helena turns around, throwing forearms now, and she gets Katie into a headlock. Anderson backs Noir into the ropes, getting free as she sends Helena across the ring, but it's countered and Katie goes across the ring instead, catching Noir with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors takedown. But Noir kips up to her feet! Helena goes for a kick at Katie on the mat, but Anderson ducks it and rolls Noir up from behind, pulling her tights for some leverage!

ONE!

TWO!

…

THRE-NO!

Despite the extra help, Katie can't secure the three on Helena, and Noir is able to roll back onto Anderson for a two count. As they get up, Helena goes for a clothesline, but Katie goes underneath it, getting Noir in another waist lock, and meeting the same result as last time as Anderson is drilled with elbows to the side of the head. Noir throws Anderson into the ropes, but Katie catches herself, springboarding backwards with a back elbow to take Helena down! As Anderson gets up, she starts to stomp onto the back of Noir's head, showing her opponent the utmost disrespect before lifting her up, and slamming Helena face first into the top turnbuckle rung.

Katie sends Helena into the opposite corner and charges in with a running forearm strike. She backs up, looking for another one, but Helena is right on Katie's tail and Noir throws her own forearm that stuns Anderson. Noir rolls to the outside, pulling Anderson down from the corner, and slamming her left leg right into the ring post! As Anderson falls outside, Noir lifts her up for a vertical suplex right onto the outside floor! Helena gets back up, targeting that left leg of Katie's by stomping right onto it in an attempt to limit her high flying arsenal.

As the referee's count gets near a ten, Helena rolls her opponent into the ring, and starts to twist Katie's ankle before placing it down and driving both of her knees into that leg. She lifts Katie up, hitting a snapmare before hitting the ropes, and connecting with a big front dropkick. Noir pushes Anderson down for a pin

ONE!

TWO!

…

TH-NO!

Helena goes to lift Katie up, but gets raked in the eyes instead! Using the ropes to assist her, Katie grabs hold of Helena for a tornado DDT! Noir rolls over and Anderson hits a baseball slide to send Helena rolling to the outside. Katie steps out onto the apron, waiting for Helena to get to her feet, and when Noir does, Anderson goes flying with a springboard moonsault right onto her opponent! As Anderson gets up, she slaps the back of Noir's head, egging her to get up, and yelling right at her.

Noir explodes to her feet, going for a clothesline, but Anderson ducks it and pulls Helena in for a powerslam right onto the floor! Katie rolls into the ring and yells at the referee to start the count as Helena is on the outside trying to recover. The fans are trying to encourage Noir up to her feet, but she's having some difficulty getting there. Inside the ring, Anderson is just smirking, knowing she's got this bout won as the referee's count draws closer

WILL HELENA BE COUNTED OUT?

…

…

NO!

At the absolute last second, Helena rolls right into the ring to break the count! Katie looks furious with this as she charges over and wastes no time landing a standing moonsault onto Helena! Anderson hooks the legs!

ONE!

TWO!

…

THRE-NO!

Noir kicks out! Anderson is still pissed off as she picks Noir up, drilling her with a series of forearms that knocks her into the ropes. Katie runs, looking to clothesline Helena out of the ring, but Noir recovers in time for a dropkick right to Anderson's bad leg! Katie rolls into the corner and Helena charges in with another dropkick! She rolls back, taking a few seconds to catch her breath, and Helena watches as Katie starts to pull herself up to her feet.

They meet in the center of the ring where Katie tries for another blatant rake of the eyes, but Helena avoids it! She delivers a kick to Katie's leg, bringing it up in pain, and Helena grabs onto it for a dragon screw. Noir lifts her Anderson up, throwing a forearm to stun her before pulling Katie in for an Ink Yo Face (Double Underhook Sitout Facebuster)! Helena rolls onto Katie for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

…

THRE-NO!

Anderson kicks out and Noir hits the mat in frustration. She picks Katie's bad leg up, putting it around her neck, and wrenching it with a stretch muffler! It's locked in, but only for a moment as Katie manages to reach out just far enough to grab the bottom rope for a break. Helena gets up, trying to pick Katie up, but Anderson pulls her into the ropes and Noir goes throat first into the middle rope. Anderson grabs the back of Noir's head and pushes her against the rope, trying to choke her out!

The referee starts a DQ count and Katie holds on until the count of four before letting go. Katie signals for the end of the match as she lifts Helena up, slapping her across the face, and drilling her with a brainbuster! But she's not done there as she heads up to the top rope, steadying herself, and she flies off with the Falling Peach Blossom (Moonsault)! Anderson gets a ton of hangtime and crashes down right onto Noir! She hooks the legs and then Katie puts her own feet up onto the rope, getting extra leverage again!

ONE!

TWO!

…

THREE!

NO!

The referee spots Katie's legs on the ropes and waves off the pin! Anderson yells at him, trying to defend her cheating ways, but he's not listening to it. Anderson turns back to Noir and shakes her head before heading up top again. She hits another Falling Peach Blossom! But Helena gets her knees up this time! Katie crashes down right onto Helena's knees and is kneeling in pain to allow Noir to come in with a big shining wizard!

Noir is feeling the momentum on her side as she picks Anderson up, planting a boot in her midsection to double her over, and Helena hits her cradle DDT! And she holds on for a guillotine choke to complete the Fondu Au Noir! They're right in the center of the ring and Katie has nowhere to go!

WILL KATIE TAP?

…

…

YES!

Katie tries to fight the pain off for as long as she can, but she has to tap out to give Helena the win!

Winner: Helena Noir
Finishing Move: Fondu Au Noir
Near Falls: Katie Anderson (3), Helena Noir (2)
Match Length: 17:20

Post Match:
After the bell sounds, Helena Noir gets up to her feet, celebrating her title defense over Katie Anderson. The fans cheer for her as she overcame Katie's cheating ways, the the cheers soon turn to boos and Helena isn't sure why. Though, she figures out very quickly as she turns around right into the CanAm Championship as Avery Smith drills her with it! The fans keep booing as Avery stomps on Helena before lifting the CanAm Championship back up and posing with it over the fallen Noir.

BACKSTAGE
The Liberty Pro Tag Team Champions, the Girls of Summer are standing by near the gorilla position as people are rushing back and forth, working on keeping the show running smoothly. They are dressed in their matching ring gear, cherry red and white tonight, the gold of the tag belts gleaming brightly around their waists. Their hair seems oddly damp though, as if they might have just come from the showers, and Coral is gently French braiding Nami’s hair as the cameras are on them.

Coral Azul: The disrespect is real, ladies and gentlemen… and you know, we aren’t out here every week crying about it like Becky with the flat ass and bad hair Lawless either. She’s such a wad of used tissue, really… she demands respect but if you give it to her she pees all over it and it’s just hecking rude.

Nami Azul: It’s hella hecking rude!

Coral Azul: She’s the most disrespectful person we work with anywhere, and considering some of the hooligans we work with? That’s a major accomplishment. But we’re not here tonight to slam Becky Becky Bo Becky, no…

Nami Azul: Even though it’s fun.

Coral Azul: Yes, even though it’s fun. The fact is, we’re sick and tired of Coda. We’re not going to make fun of her name, or her lack of lots of things because unlike some people we pay attention and we understand that it’s not really her fault that she’s the way she is. That is something that even we won’t poke at because that’s weak.

Nami stays still as Coral finishes up her braid and then pats it, smiling as of course it’s perfect.

Nami Azul: And we aren’t weak. What’s weak? Is the idiots who spew the exact same trash at us ever time. They want the attention we have, and they aren’t good enough to get it for any skills in the ring or out of it so they attack our personal lives. HONEY… is the only person who hasn’t done that.

Coral Azul: For those keeping track that makes her one hundred and fifty percent a better human being than ninety-nine percent of you garbage try hards.

Nami Azul: So Honey, we are really looking forward to this match with you! I guess Coda can come along, but if she attacks you again? Well we are going to step in and help you! I know that you forgave her because YOU are a GOOD person! But you know what? Abusing assholes are always abusing assholes… and while Honey may forgive you Coda? We’re not going to let you stomp her!

Coral nods, firmly.

Coral Azul: Do this right Coda or stay the hecking heck in the back for your own good.

They wave the cameras off and then wait for their music to start.

BACKSTAGE
Caught by the camera inside the doctor’s examination room, direct consequence of Avery’s relentless attack after her successful title defense against Katie Anderson., the CanAm champion seems to be in a good shape, all things considered. Bruised, of course, and hurt both phisically and in her pride, but still in a better condition than she seemed to be when the paramedics helped her out of the ring.

Helena Noir: “Is it too much to ask, for once, to allow me to wrestle a match without someone interfering before, during or after it?”

She chuckles, immediately bending forward and holding her ribcage in pain.

Helena Noir: “For real, this is getting ridiculous. I knew, since the moment I won this title, that I was going to have a huge target on my back. It’s not my first run as a champion and I know what comes with it. I have no problems in taking on any challenger, both here and in Canada. And I made it clear in more than one occasion. You want a shot at my title? All you have to do is ask. Ask me, ask the General Manager… You already know I’d be in. I never backed down from a fight and i never will.”

With slow movements, she climbs down from the examination bed she was sitting in and moves to a chair not too far away, where her CanAm Championship was laying. Helena grabs the title and puts it over her shoulder, staring at it for a moment with a proud smile on her face.

Helena Noir: “Everyone is welcome to challenge me for my title. Hell, as you saw earlier tonight, I’m also willing to give second chances to less than deserving opponents. But when you choose to deliberately attack me just to make some sort of statement… Well that’s a whole different kettle of fish.
I tried to play it fair with you, Avery. I was willing to let last week attack slide, if anything for the respect I have for your sister. But twice? You won’t like what’s coming next. And there’s no way you can stop it now.”

And here it is, that twinkle in her eyes, that indomitable spirit resurfacing on her battered and worn out face.

Helena Noir: “You wanted my attention, Avery? Well, now you got it. You fooled me twice, I dare you to try again.”

And on those words, she walks out of the doctor’s office.

MATCH SIX: LIBERTY PRO TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Girls of Summer vs Coda and Honey
wrote:

Match Notes:
Coda tells Honey she’ll start the match and the two oblige. Nami and Coral play rock, paper, scissors to decide and Nami wins as he gets to start the match for her side. The two circle each other tentatively before Nami goes for the first shot, a speedy shoot for Coda’s legs. Coda sidesteps it, kicking her away. She immediately goes on the attack, driving hard elbows into Nami before sending her to the ropes. Nami leaps to the top rope and springboards backwards with a flying forearm. Coda catches her with a shotgun dropkick. She pins her but Nami kicks out. Coda goes right back on the attack, grabbing Nami by the hair and pulling her to her feet. Nami pulls herself free, diving towards the corner and tagging in Coral. Coral hops over the rope, ready to get started. Coda and Coral lock up. Coral looks to try and wrestle Coda to the corner, but Coda manages to hold her own. Coral hooks Coda by the neck, looking for a stiff suplex. But Coda tangles her leg between Coral’s, blocking the lift, and counters with a snap suplex of her own. She immediately rolls over for a cover.

Coral kicks out out right before two. Coda gets to her feet. Honey shouts directions at her from the sidelines and Coda glances over at her partner before glaring and then putting her attention back on Coral. Coral has gotten back to her feet and throws a stiff clothesline. At the last moment, Coda ducks it, and Coral stumbles to the corner. Honey drives her elbow to her temple, rocking her. Coral takes a few steps back, shaking the pain out of her head. Coda charges up behind her, taking her down with a hard Russian legsweep. Rather than go for another pin, she slaps Honey’s hand. Honey casually steps between the ropes, looking down at Coral. Honey soon grabs her legs and puts her in a sharpshooter. Coral is in obvious pain as he struggles to reach the ropes. She finally pulls herself to the ropes and grabs a hold of them and Honey has to break up the hold.

Coda yells at her tag partner, telling her to stay on the offensive and Honey nods and goes back after Coral but it’s too late and Coral tags Nami in. Nami leaps to the top rope and dives off, taking Honey down with a crossbody but the move takes the referee down as well. The ring then fills with all four competitors and there is a huge battle. Coda starts to fight with Nami as Honey is still battling it out with Coral. Coda goes to superkick Nami but Nami ducks and it levels Honey, taking her out. Coda doesn’t seem phased as she goes back to fighting Nami but Coral comes in and the two sisters double team Coda before taking her out with a double DDT. Coral then rolls out of the ring and she grabs a chair and rolls back into the ring with it. Coral wraps the chair around Coda’s leg as Nami climbs the top ropes. Nami then leaps off of the ropes and drops feet first onto the chair, breaking it in half as it crushes Coda’s ankle. Coda rolls around in pain as Nami grabs the chair and throws it out of the ring. Coral and Nami throw Coda out of the ring before picking up Honey and hitting her with a double powerbomb. Nami pins Honey as the referee comes to and Nami gets the three count and the win.

Winner: Girls of Summer
Finishing Move: Double Powerbomb
Near Falls: Coda (3), Honey (2), Coral (2), Nami (2)
Match Length:13:43

Post Match:
Honey stirs and rolls out of the ring to check on Coda, who is grabbing at her ankle. Coda looks at Honey and yells at her before shoving her away. Honey is confused as Coda gets to her feet and limps away on one leg up the ramp. Coral and nami meanwhile celebrate with their tag team championships in the ring as Honey stands there in shock and disappointment as Coda leaves under her own power.

BACKSTAGE
The cameras cut backstage to the catering section where Lizzy Taylor is sitting by at one of the small tables set up for people the competitors to enjoy some refreshments during the show. True to her word from earlier, Lizzy is sipping on a cup of hot tea trying to relax from her gruelling match against Trey Peterson earlier in the night. She pats herself down with a towel before catching the camera in her sights.

Lizzy Taylor: Well ello again, seems you lot just can’t get enough of me innit. It also seems like I got me wish and I’ll be kicking the snot out of Cass Baumer tonight. Oi Cass, ‘ave you never heard the expression don’t shit where you eat? Seems to me like you’ve pissed someone off big time giving the stipulations of your matches compared to everyone else’s. But like a good little cockroach, you just refuse to be squash, don’t you? Fear not everyone, sometimes you just need to bring in heavier artillery to take care of pests like her and I’m the one that is PERFECT for the job. Cass and I ‘ave never seen eye to eye on the Twitters, she did herself no favors when she confused me for Lizzie Jones, all the while trying to pop ‘er head up Melissa Reeves arse. Trying to compare me to Mel is like trying to compare apples and potatoes, two completely different things. I get why Cass does it though, she’s always ‘oping for that shock reaction.

Lizzy scoffs and rolls her eyes before taking another sip of her tea.

Lizzy Taylor: My match was much earlier tonight than yours Cass, I’m going into the finals a lot fresher than you are and no one is going to be shocked when you use that as your excuse when you lose. Truth is, the table could be flipped, or broken completely in Rylees case. I could ‘ave had the match later in the night and I’d still be walking into the finals ready to beat the shite out of you because you deserve it. Bad things happen to bad people all the time, it’s this wonderful little thing called Karma. You really are about to learn the meaning of Hell in a Cell, cause there is no way on earth you’re walking away from it unscatched. No shoo, lemme finish me tea in peace!

Lizzy flicks her hand at the camera in a shooing manner before the scene fades.

MATCH SEVEN: TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS FOR THE TRIALS CHAMPIONSHIPS
Brendan Callaghan vs Voidstar
wrote:

Match Notes:
The match between Voidstar and Brendan started with Brendan rolling out of the ring. Voidstar laughs as Brendan stands outside while the referee counts him out. The fans boo as Brendan shrugs while the referee nearly counts to ten. Brendan acts like he’s getting into the ring but he stops and laughs and the referee counts to ten, giving Voidstar the first fall.

Falls: Voidstar (1), Brendan (0)

The bell rang and the referee started the match again. Brendan stays outside of the ring, ready to give up the Trials Championship in a countout, since there is no championship advantage in this match. Voidstar soon grows impatient and he exits the ring and chases Brendan around it. Brendan runs as fast as he can before he realizes Voidstar is catching up. Callaghan quickly pulls a chair from under the ring and he takes a swing at Voidstar but Voidstar catches the chair. He pulls it away from Brendan and he swings it at him, nailing Brendan in the head with it. Brendan crashes to the ground outside and the referee calls for the bell, giving Brendan the second fall.

Falls: Voidstar (1), Brendan (1)

Voidstar hits the chair over and over again on Brendan before the third match can even begin. Brendan is soon lifeless as Voidstar throws him into the ring. Void enters the ring and the referee tells Voidstar to back off. Void demands the referee start the match and he scares him into doing so. The bell rings and Voidstar hits Brendan with Black Abyss (packaged piledriver). Voidstar doesn’t go for the pin as he lifts Brendan up and he hits him with a second Black Abyss. Voidstar still doesn’t pin Brendan as the referee tells Voidstar it’s enough and it should be over. Voidstar looks ready to pick Brendan up again when Jade Night, Brendan’s girlfriend, slides into the ring and she has Nathan Callaghan’s barbed wire bat in hand. Void doesn’t see her and she whacks him in the back with it. Voidstar crumbles to his knees and the referee calls for the bell.

Winner: Voidstar
Finishing Move: N/A
Near Falls: N/A
Match Length: 7:35

Post Match:
Jade slams the back over Voidstar’s back again and he drops to his hands and knees. Jade lifts the bat up one more time and she goes to swing it down onto Voidstar’s head this time, it’s clear she’s looking to end the monster who has been haunting her boyfriend but soon the lights turn off. They stay off for thirty seconds and there’s a ton of commotion going on in the ring and when the lights turn back on, Jade and Brendan are both lying in the middle of the ring, lifeless with Voidstar standing over them with the Trials Championship. Voidstar looks at the championship and laughs before he grabs Jade and drags her lifeless body with him out of the ring before he throws her up onto his shoulder. He then walks away, stealing away Brendan’s championship and his girl without him even knowing.

BACKSTAGE
With her palm gripping her left wrist, “The Sensational One” Cass Baumer looks into the camera from the backstage area with a satisfied smirk on her face. Breathing heavily after the light tubes and thumbtacks match against Avery Smith, she coughs into her closed hand before beginning to speak.

Cass Baumer: Is this what you all wanted? You wanted to see me in pain?

Her words were quiet yet filled with a quiet vitriol.

Cass Baumer: You wanted to see me compete in a light tubes and thumbtacks match? You wanted me to lose against Avery Smith and fall back into obscurity where you think I belong?! No! No, I ain’t going gently into the goodnight! I’m not letting go of my fifteen minutes of fame but I am headed to the finals of the March Madness Tourna—!

Her words devolved into another coughing fit into her palm. She struggled to bounce back from it. She rubbed her face with her palm after wiping her hand on a nearby wad of tissues.

Cass Baumer: None of you think I deserve to stand here, do you? None of you think I deserve to be on the cusp of superstardom after the dejection I suffered through in front of the world to see when I was usurped from of the spotlight before I was ready to move on but now that I’m back at the forefront, I will do absolutely ANYTHING it takes not to fall into the depths of despair called obscurity that I called home for far too long!

She groaned and held her side, coughing yet again but she tried to keep her composure.

Cass Baumer: I swear to the God above that I will walk out of the Hell In A Cell match with the prize given to me by Nathan Callaghan himself and I’ll take my rightful place as the most recognizable person in not just Liberty Pro and not just CWC as a whole but the entirety of modern wrestling!

Her screams were wild and unruly but filled with passion and fury.

Cass Baumer: Lizzy Taylor will never compare to the heights I’ll reach and I’ll be happy to remind her as she’s sent crashing off the Hell In A Cell by my hand. She’ll be sent to the hospital just like what happened to Trent Grundy but the difference is Trent Grundy had The Society to keep him company. Lizzy? Nah. The one person she’ll have is herself, the constant thoughts of what she did wrong swirling in her head on a 24/7 loop but when someone does decide to visit, you know I’ll be the name on their lips and you know the crushing reality that a former journalist, a former interviewer, a former reporter managed to do this to her is finally gonna send her over the deep end and me? I’ll just be laughing all the way to the bank!

She smirked to the camera while she kept a hold of her left wrist that’s been hurt in the prior match.

Cass Baumer: It’s gonna be damn fitting when all the hard work she’s managed to get to where she is now just stands to make my win that much more impressive when I use the money earned from the win to keep my lights on next month.

With that, Cass hunched forward and fell into another coughing fit as the screen faded to black.

BACKSTAGE
The camera cuts backstage to the new signee, Kendrick Kross, sitting in the locker room his hands clasped with each elbow resting on the respective knees. He’s hunched over his head dipped down looking at the floor. Kendrick takes a deep breath and slowly exhales.

Kendrick Kross: “I already know, I’m going to be asked who I am. What I am doing here. Why did I come to Liberty. The answer is simple, competition.”

Kendrick brings his head up and eyes the camera running his right hand through his hair.

Kendrick Kross: “I wanted to come to a place where I knew I’d be tested, where I knew that I would get taken to my limits and with some of the names here I know that’ll happen. I know that I have to be on top of my game in Liberty, so why wouldn’t I come here?”

A small smirk crosses his face.

Kendrick Kross: “I am here and ready to make my mark on Liberty. I am ready to take on some of the biggest names here in Liberty. Everywhere I’ve been so far I’ve impressed. Whether it’s GWD or any other company I step foot in I impress. Liberty will be no different.”

Kendrick slides his sunglasses off, revealing his cold stare.

Kendrick Kross: “I will guarantee you that my debut, it’ll be one to remember. It’ll show exactly why I am here. My debut will show all of Liberty that there is someone new to watch out for. I’ll show Liberty and the world that Kendrick Kross will be here to stay. So pay attention, if you don’t you might just a show of pure talent. This goes out to everyone in Liberty. Watch out for Kendrick Kross. I’ll be taking this company by storm.”

The camera cuts away as Kendrick replaces his sunglasses and bows his head.

MATCH EIGHT: MARCH MADNESS FINALS HELL IN A CELL
Lizzy Taylor vs Cass Baumer
wrote:


Match Notes:
It was now time for the March Nadness finale between Lizzy Taylor and Cass Baumer. The match starts off with Cass Baumer as the surprise aggressor, her adrenaline still pumping from the beating her body took earlier. Cass charges Lizzy Taylor and takes her down with a spear. Cass mounts Lizzy and delivered a few hard shots to her face before Cass starts to trash talk, telling Lizzy she’s going to win because she’s the Headliner. Cass stands up and picks Lizzy up with her before she whips Taylor hard into the corner. Lizzy hit the corner with a thud before Cass charges and the taller Baumer nails Lizzy with a big boot to the face. Taylor collapses to the canvas and Cass pinns her but Taylor kicked out after two. Cass exited the ring and grabs a chair from under the ring before sliding back in with it. She swings it at Taylor, who just managed to get to her feet, but Lizzy ducked under the chair shot. When Cass turns around, Lizzy superkicks the chair straight into Baumer’s face. Baumer falls lifelessly to the mat and Lizzy covers her. The referee counts to two but Baumer kicks out. Taylor doesn’t believe Cass was able to kick out but she wastes little time as she picks Cass up and throws her out of the ring. Lizzy then grabs Cass’ legs and slingshots her face first into the unforgiving steel of the hell in a cell.

Baumer rolls around in pain as her hands grab at her face but Taylor doesn’t relent, showing her mean streak and hatred for Baumer as she slingshots her a second time and then a third time. Baumer starts to bleed from her forehead after the third time. Lizzy walks away and she starts to gather some chairs and kendo sticks before tossing them into the ring. Taylor then takes a table and sets it up on the outside of the ring but she doesn’t notice that Baumer is starting to stir. When Lizzy turns to look for Cass, Baumer was already up and she had grabbed a kendo stick of her own. Lizzy then turns the other direction to look for Cass and Cass nails the kendo stick straight into Lizzy’s midsection.. Lizzy stumbled back holding onto her stomach before Cass slams the kendo stick over her back. Cass then swings the kendo stick straight across Lizzy’s chest, causing her to fall. Cass then grabs Lizzy and throws her onto the table.

Baumer quickly climbs the turnbuckle looking to go for something big but Lizzy found a burst of energy as she got up to her feet and charges the turnbuckle before climbing up it. The two began to fight back and forth, throwing punches at each other before they both lost their balance and they crash right through the table that Lizzy set up on the outside. Fans started to cheer “THIS IS AWESOME!”, as Cass and Lizzy are out of it on the outside of the ring. It took some time before the two stumbled up onto their feet and they began to slowly trade blows. Cass eventually gain the lead when she kicks Taylor in the gut and then slammed her head into the cage wall. Cass slammed Lizzy’s head into it for good measure one more time and Taylor drops to her knees in pain.

Cass steps back and lines Lizzy up, waiting for her to fully get to her feet. Lizzy stumbles up, using the cage for leverage to stand when Cass charges Lizzy and Cass nails her with The Headline (spear) and the two women go through the Hell In A Cell wall and the fans are going wild for it. The two laid out for a moment before Cass began to stir. She looks up at the Hell In A Cell and in a daze, decides to climb it. Baumer gets halfway up when Lizzy gets up and starts to climb up after her. Lizzy catches up and they both get to the top at the same time.

The two battle back and forth on the cage near the edge and with each blow, each one almost falls off of the edge. Cass shoves her elbow into Lizzy’s face before grabbing her and trying to throw her off the cage but Lizzy rakes Cass in the eyes in desperation. Cass holds onto her face in pain as Lizzy steps back and lines Baumer up. Without hesitation, Taylor charges Baumer and hits her with a single front leg drop kick to the face that sends Cass flying off of the Hell In A Cell and straight through the announcer table under them. The fans start to chant, “HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT!’ As a grin runs over Lizzy’s face. Lizzy then climbs down the cage and she grabs Baumer and drags her to the ring before sliding her in. Lizzy then pins Cass and the referee counts to three.

Winner: Lizzy Taylor
Finishing Move: Single Front Leg Drop Kick
Near Falls: Cass (3), Lizzy (2)
Match Length:19:21

Post Match:
“Bad Company” blares over the PA system as Nathan Callaghan makes his way down to the ring as the cell is raised. Nathan has a suitcase in hand as he makes his way down to the ring before he slides in. He then grabs a mic and starts to speak.

Nathan Callaghan: First off, congratulations to Lizzy Taylor on winning the March Madness Tournament. While yes, you get a secret prize, I’d like to offer one to Cass Baumer as well. Cass, can you come over here?

Nathan looks around before looking at Cass being treated by EMT’s over by the crushed table.

Nathan Callaghan: Oh that’s right, you might be dead.

Nathan laughs and shakes his head.

Nathan Callaghan: Anyway, Cass Baumer gets 100,000 dollars and she gets to challenge for the Gotham or Trials Championship whenever, wherever she wants. That is, if she isn’t dead.

Nathan laughs again before looking over at Lizzy Taylor.

Nathan Callaghan: As for you, beautiful.

Nathan ducks the microphone between his arm as he grabs Lizzy’s hand and kisses it.

Nathan Callaghan: You are the recipient of our new championship. You see, there has been a bit of controversy here in the CWC with the United States Championship. It has been highjacked by an orange haired troll and taken to REBELLION Pro and you know what? I don’t like my country being treated unfairly like that. You wouldn’t like that, would you, Lizzy?

Lizzy smiles and shakes her head.

Nathan Callaghan: Good. Well in that case, I’d like to reward you with the Liberty Pro US Championship.

Nathan opens up the suitcase and pulls of the Liberty Pro United States Championship. He places it on Lizzy’s shoulder and points at it.

Nathan Callaghan: I dare anyone in a stateside CWC territory to come to Liberty to try and take the REAL United States Championship, the one that stays in America.

Nathan smirks before he looks at Lizzy and gives her a nod and a wink. Lizzy willingly accepts the gift and she raises her championship in the air as Nathan makes his exit.

BACKSTAGE
Seth Lawless: Dominance.

Seth Lawless smiles after saying that word. He is in his wrestling gear as he put his hands on the top of his head. One half of the CWC Tag Team titles was around his waist.

Seth Lawless: Ever since we won these tag titles no one has been able to stop us. Yes, there might have been some hiccups along the way but when these titles are on the line we step the game up and we win. We have made history with these titles and we want to keep doing that. We’ve been to Mexico and we won, we have been to Canada and we have won. Now are in the great city of Boston and we are going to win.

He smiles again as he starts to walk around the Society locker room. There were some followers in the room as well. They kept their eyes on Seth Lawless, hanging on every word that he was saying.

Seth Lawless: Tonight Warren and I get to face the darlings in 2MF1 we go on before the Main Event of the night where our contracts are on the line. Now I know that it is crazy that I am in such a good mood before this match and the history of the Main Event that is about to go down. But honestly, I have the utmost confidence in what is going to happen tonight. We are the greatest damn group that has ever graced this ring. We have won matches we have all of the eyes on Liberty, and hell Empire. Wherever that we go we get the eyes on that show. Everyone wants to see us knocked down, everyone wants to see us lose because they hate us so damn much.

He smiles again as he pats the title.

Seth Lawless: We weren’t supposed to be here because remember when we won the Trios Titles they took it away from us. In turn they made it a tournament so we would have to fight for another title and maybe it or maybe not. But Becks and I won these titles we came out on top and well I guess the rest of it is history. No one can stop us and Camilia and KiKi can try and beat us they can be the next team that can step up against us but they will be another team that is cast aside.

He sits down in the middle of some followers. One of them brings him a water and hands it to him.

Seth Lawless: Warren had a rough night last night he lost his title, hell the Society had a rough night last night. Trent was set on fire, and well we spent the whole day in the hospital. Tonight though it changes tonight we keep the CWC Tag Titles and Becky brings the Liberty Title home, tonight we get back to what we have been doing. And that is dominate.

He laughs once more.

Seth Lawless: Like I said dominance is our word and our creed. No one will stop us, set them up and we will knock them down. We are making history and if you are going to get in the way we are going to run you over.

Seth winks as he gets up and the followers watch him leave the room.

BACKSTAGE
The scene opens on a dark and unidentifiable room somewhere, presumably, backstage. Voidstar stands close to the camera having presumably been the one to begin the shot. He takes a step back.

Voidstar: Do you see this?

He raises the Trials Championship into view.

Voidstar: I did exactly what I said I would tonight and this trinket is proof.

He laughs and steps aside, revealing Jade Night behind him. She’s slumped against the wall, unconscious.

Voidstar: Or perhaps this is the proof needed to show everyone my DOMINANCE here. She was so loud, so very proud. She stood by her man even though he is nothing but a failure and look at her reward for that loyalty.

He tuts and shakes his head, disappointed.

Voidstar: Brendan let her down. He failed to protect her. He couldn’t keep his title and he couldn’t keep his girl.

He throws the title over toward her, then grabs the camera. The growls a little, tilting his head.

Voidstar: She should have chosen better than him. He should have been better for her. Now she must pay the price of his failures.

He moves the camera way closer toward Jade and kneels beside her.

Voidstar: Say goodbye, Jade. Say goodbye to all those idiots sat at home, stuffing their fat faces and too afraid to stand up for you. Say goodbye to this company that doesn’t care about you. Say goodbye to your boyfriend who can’t even protect you.

He grabs her arm and mockingly waves it around.

Voidstar: That’s right, say goodbye.

Dropping the arm, he stands and scowls into the camera.

Voidstar: Callaghan is vanquished, exactly as promised. The question now is who will be next? I dare anyone to step up. But remember the price you will pay for challenging me.

He turns the camera back to Jade and then cuts the feed.

HEADLINE: CWC TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Warren Corbett & Seth Lawless vs 2MF1 (Camila Abrines & KiKi Masters)
wrote:

Match Notes:
As soon as the bell rings, Camila Abrines is doing her best to wear down the larger Seth Lawless with some well placed strikes. Lawless shoots in for a collar-and-elbow tie up, putting Abrines back into the ropes, and sending her across the ring only to be dropped with a shoulder block from Camila in a counter. Targeting Seth’s knees, Camila goes wild until Lawless manages to pull himself into the ropes and the referee has to get Abrines away. As Lawless gets back up, Camila tries going right back for the legs, but Seth catches her with a side headlock and wrestles her down to the mat. Using some impressive chain-wrestling, Seth keeps Abrines on the mat and uses a variety of quick holds to try and tire Camila out. Seth picks Camila up and whips her to the ropes but she comes back and nails him with a flying hurricanrana. Abrines tries to make her way to Kiana but Seth grabs her leg and stops her before nailing her with a chop to the chest. Now it's Seth's turn to drag Camila over and tag in the fresher Warren Corbett. The two utilize their positioning to keep Abrines in the corner and make a series of tags to keep her pinned underneath their boots. Finally, Warren pulls Camila out of the corner and goes for a pin, barely getting a two. Corbett hits a standing body splash and gets another two count from it. On the apron, KiKi is calling for the tag, and the crowd is rallying behind the 2’s My Favorite 1.

Warren starts to stalk Camila, looking for his Battle Ax, grabbing Abrines, but she's able to spin out of it and she dropkicks Warren in his knees. Warren falls down to his knees and Camila takes him out with a superkick to a kneeling opponent. That's just the window Camila needed to make a leaping tag to KiKi who springboards in with a hurricanrana that sends Warren into a corner. KiKi rushes in with a high knee before pulling Warren out of the corner with a running bulldog. Corbett stumbles back up to his feet, dazed, and KiKi hits multiple shoot kicks to his chest. The referee is just about to make the count when the outside factors of Trent Grundy, who spent the night in the hospital but is still here for his teammates, comes into play. Noticing this, KiKi stops her kicks and she tries to knock Trent off of the apron but they were just a bit faster leaving the scene. And as soon as KiKi turns around, Warren's recovered to plant a boot in KiKi's midsection, and spike her on the canvas with a snap DDT! Corbett makes the pin for a nearfall as KiKi just gets her shoulder up before the three! Warren makes the tag out to Seth, who waits for his moment, and strikes with a brutal Superman punch. Keeping the momentum flowing, Lawless lifts her up, and throws her into the ropes, looking for his "Detroit Is Burning" powerbomb, but as KiKi goes up, she's able to turn over for a sunset flip pin that nets her a two. The two get up at about the same time and KiKi drops Seth with an enziguri.

Now it's KiKi's turn to make the crawling tag to Camila, but just as she leaps, Warren is there to pull Camila off the apron! The referee rushes over to yell at Warren and as he does so, Trent slides in, attempting to attack KiKi, but she's able to kick him away. On the outside, Camila drops Warren with a clothesline. Back in the ring, KiKi gets to her feet fast for a superkick that sends Trent out of the ring. Unfortunately with the referee still distracted, Warren is able to come in to help Seth and they combine for a double suplex on KiKi. Warren hits another standing body splash before rolling out of the ring and letting Seth take back over. He tries for a pin, but amazingly, KiKi just kicks out before the three. Seth picks her up again, throwing her right into the ropes, and hits "Detroit Is Burning" (Pop-up Powerbomb)! But unknown to Seth, Camila made the tag, and Lawless is dropped with a satellite DDT, but Abrines isn't done as she backs up and waits for Lawless to stir. When Seth gets to his hands and knees, Camila charges and hits him with a Penalty Kick (Punt Kick). Abrines quickly makes the pin! ONE! TWO! THRE-NO! Corbett jumps onto Abrines's back just in time to break the pin. Corbett gets in a quick stomp to the back of Camila's head and gets chewed out by the referee for doing so. As Camila stands back up, she hits the ropes, but again, Trent’'s there to trip her up and the referee sees it! This causes the referee to banish Trent Grundy from ringside, sending him to the back. Abrines smirks as the match has finally entered even ground, but as the referee's busy with them, Lawless is right there with a with a thumb to the eye to Camila before he drops her with a DDT. Camila goes down near the ropes and Seth slides out of the ring and charges Camila before hitting her with The Boom Run (Drive-by Kick)! The referee turns around just in time to see Lawless make the pin but Abrines kicks out just before the three count.

Lawless can't believe it as he's screaming in the referee's face, but he just blows the official off and turns back toward the slowly recovering Camila. Lawless gets ready and charges in for a second "Boom Run", but Abrines pops up to her feet, catching Seth with a headlock driver. Camila uses this momentum to roll back and tag in KiKi. Camila grabs Lawless and hits him with a hurricarana driver. Kiana hits the top ropes and leaps off, hitting KikStart Press (Shooting star double stomp). Before Kiana can make the pin, Warren comes in and he takes Camila out, clotheslining her over the ropes. KiKi hits Warren with a shotgun dropkick, sending him out of the ring as well. Quickly turning back to Seth, KiKi makes the pin! She gets a two count but Seth manages to just kick out before the three. A second earlier and it would've been a three, but Warren's distraction gave Seth just enough energy to recover. KiKi goes to lift Seth up, but gets raked right across the eyes. Throwing KiKi into their corner, Lawless tags out to Corbett and the two team up for a quick DDT. A pin attempt is made by Warren, but KiKi easily kicks out into the two. Corbett drags KiKi back up to her feet, giving her the middle finger, and that snaps KiKi out of her daze as she decks Warren with a stiff forearm. KiKi grabs Warren's head and hits another running bulldog in the center of the ring.

Momentum is seemingly on KiKi's side as she gets ready to run in with Krushkrushkrush (Cartwheel jumping high knee) but Warren side steps it! He quickly grabs KiKi and lifts her in the air for the Battle Ax. Camila hops in the ring and charges but Seth comes from out of nowhere and pops Camila up, taking her out with the Detroit Is Burning (pop up powerbomb). Warren covers KiKi and he gets the three count, giving #TheSociety the victory.

Winner: #TheSociety
Finishing Move: The Battle Ax
Near Falls: Camila (3), KiKi (3), Warren (3), Seth (4)
Match Length: 22:43

Post Match:
Trent and Becky come out to celebrate with Warren and Seth, who had retained their CWC World Tag Team Championships. The four celebrated in the ring as “Bad Company” by Five Finger Death Punch suddenly blared over the PA system and out walked Nathan Callaghan. He paced around as his music finally cut out and he began to speak.

Nathan Callaghan: Great celebration here but Seth, Trent and Warren? It’s time for all of you to go home. Like I said, nobody will interfere with MY main event and you’re all being escorted off of the premises.

Security comes from the backstage area and #TheSociety look livid. Becky tries to calm her family down, ensuring them it will all be alright. Seth, Warren and Trent tag the CWC World Tag Team Championships and exit the ring before exiting through the crowd, avoiding security and leaving the arena in their own way as an act of rebellion. Nathan simply laughed and clapped his hands before pointing at Becky.

Nathan Callaghan: Good luck, Balfour. Your family’s lives are in your hands. I guess you can say you’ve got the whole world in your hands, don’t you?

Nathan cackles before dropping the mic and exiting to the backstage area.


BACKSTAGE
In the backstage, we find Melissa Reeves sat alone in a corridor. She’s wearing her ring gear and is sat with the Liberty Championship draped over her lap. She is looking down at the gold as the camera moves closer to her.

Melissa: One more time.

She looks up to the camera and sighs.

Melissa: Just one more time that I have to face Becky. Our ninth time since Liberty began. Our fifth in singles competition. Our third in this past month.

Holding her hand up, Melissa counts the three out.

Melissa: Tonight is Becky’s last chance - a situation which she herself created. I have no interest in seeing her fired, but that is how things are. It won’t mean I give any less than 100%. It won’t mean that I take any mercy on her.

She shakes her head.

Melissa: Tonight, for me, is about one thing and one thing only. This championship.

She raises the title into view.

Melissa: Ever since October 28th, I have defended this title. 148 days. Ten successful defences - three of those against Becky herself. The same Becky who whined I had too many chances against her, when I defeated her at the second time of asking.

Melissa: But of course none of that will matter because Becky is willfully ignorant to facts. She will pretend like she hasn’t had to use her Society goons to try and get one over on me. She will ignore that I defeated her in her own stipulation, the Society street fight. She will claim she “defeated” me in a hell in a cell match where I put us through the cell and she was knocked out, her arm just happened to land over me and the match was a DAMN DRAW.

She seems torn between anger and laughter and gives a short scoff insead.

Melissa: But that’s Becky for you. She’s just another wrestler who can’t face the truth and has to hide her weaknesses, her shortcomings, behind excuses and mitigation.

Melissa: It’s a shame. She has skill in the ring and she could be great, but she wastes it. She has to weigh things in her favour because she has no faith in herself. Even her own “family” feel the need to help her because they don’t even have the belief that she can get the job done by herself.

She stands and moves a little way aside, stopping at a poster for tonight’s event.

Melissa: And so we arrive at tonight’s contest. Melissa Reeves vs Becky Balfour.

She holds her hand up and strokes across the poster, then turns back toward the camera.

Melissa: ...again.

There’s a small silence as she looks up at the poster again.

Melissa: And there’s nothing more I can say that I haven’t said - and PROVEN - before. I’ve shown I can defeat Becky. I’ve shown I can defend this title. Tonight I will show it again and then, after that, I will move on to my next challenge. Win or lose, I am done with Becky.

Sighing, she heads away from the camera. She stops and looks back for one final glance.

Melissa: One more time.

And with that the scene fades.

EARLIER IN THE WEEK
Detroit, Michigan
Abandoned Detention Center
4:03 PM

Becky Balfour-Lawless is walking through an abandoned building with her head down as the camera follows her. Her voice is low, unusually rugged, as if she has been battling a sickness of some sort.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: They say a desperate woman makes desperate decisions. Her mind overcome with a single goal in sight. Tunnel vision.

The walls are a dreary, deep grey. Becky runs her hands along the stone-chiseled walls as she wanders mindlessly, aimlessly down the halls.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: This was once a place where criminals were housed. Where people with all of the potential in the world were placed after a mistake. A mistake that was the equivalent of throwing your life away. Some people are saying that I'm throwing my life away at March Madness in Boston.

The camera does it's famous cut to static for #TheSociety and Becky's scream is blood-curdling as it rings out throughout the halls. The camera cuts back and Becky is on her knees, looking up at the ceiling.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: I told Nathan Callaghan that I would put my career on the line for one more shot at Melissa's Liberty championship. Was it stupid? Am I stupid? That depends on how you look at the situation. She mentioned it herself, I'm the only person to defeat her in Liberty. I've done it before, why can't I do it again? The Society won't be ringside...nobody will be ringside. She has beaten me far more than I've beat her. It's like playing Russian roulette with my career.

Becky puts her fingers to her head as if she's holding a gun.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: BANG!

Her body slinks to the dusty, concrete floor. She lays there for a moment before sitting back up and laughing.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: But nothing can kill me. Nothing can kill #TheSociety and at March Madness, Melissa will see that her run as champion, her time at the top? It ends because I say so. Nathan backed me into a wall when he put the fate of my entire family in my hands...and now I have to get my hands dirty.

She places her hands on the concrete floor and scrapes her nails along the floor, breaking a few of the fake nails in the process. Her laughs turn to sobs as she stands up and marches with purpose.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: THIS IS WHAT YOU MADE OF ME, MELISSA.

She stops as she reaches an old holding cell. Inside the small cell are twenty Followers, all staring straight ahead at Becky.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: March Madness is about more than the Liberty championship, it's about our livelihood. You see, all of this started back in August, with the launch of Liberty. It was the Liberty championship that put me on the map and in a position to be a leader for people like them.

She points towards the cell.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: That same championship could be the final nail in the coffin, a true gift and a curse. But it won't be. There's nothing Melissa can do to me that will keep me down long enough to end my career, my family's careers...and the lives of these people. NOTHING.

Becky walks up to the cell and puts her hands on the bars.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: You want to know what's different this time around, Melissa? I have more to fight for than ever before. This time, there will be no Society members, no Followers, no distractions, no excuses. You. Me. The Liberty championship. Our lives.

Becky pulls at the bars and slides the cell doors open. The Followers all surround Becky as an overhead camera looks down on her as she looks up.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: #TheSociety lives on.

The static flashes over the screen once again as #TheSociety appears before it fades to black with Becky's scream being the last thing we hear.

The Followers pour down the entrance way from the back to celebrate with Becky but #TheSociety isn’t there as Nathan sent them home from the arena, banning them. The Followers surround the ring, jumping up and down as Becky is handed the Liberty Championship from the referee. Tears fill Becky’s eyes as she won the championship and saved the careers of her family. One of The Followers, a larger one who was wearing a hat, slid into the ring and he hugs Becky. Becky hugs him back but he doesn’t let go. Becky looks up at the man’s face and he soon takes his hat off and throws it off and it’s clear to see that it’s none other than… TYSON GREGORY!!! Becky tries to pull away but she can’t and Tyson hits her with The End Of Your Sorrow (Lifting single underhook DDT). The Followers then enter the ring, trying to grab Tyson but he shoves them off before exiting the ring. The Followers all give chase, living Becky lying in the ring herself.
