2020.08.29: PWN - LONE - LONE 38
Contents
Intro
Rage Against The Machine's "Testify" starts up as a video package advertising the event displays. It starts with Hannah Kix kicking Ashley Lopez in the side of the head from last month, along with more of her in action before it cuts to a screen with the August Assault graphic on it, Kix in her entrance robe throwing punches and kicks while her translator stands off to her right and it reads HANNAH KIX IN ACTION under them.
Then, footage of Violent Violet attacking Rook from behind at Queen of the Castle, more of her in action and then Rook locking in the Heel Hook on Alison Crowne as well as Violent Violet. Then, a graphic of the two with Violent Violet on the left, punching into her palm and Rook on the right, putting on her INDESTRUCTABLE Orange Glasses.
VIOLENT VIOLET VS. ROOK
Then, "Gutter Trash" Terri Thompson giving Alison Crowne her Bulldog she calls Mind in the Gutter, and a shot of her bleeding from the forehead with a sadistic grin on her face, and then, her former tag team partner "Pretty" Fay Qent giving others her Tomahawk Chop and more shots of the two in action before cutting to a graphic of Terri wearing her BURIAL ARTISTS FUCK OFF t-shirt and her war leather vest adorned with various pins and buttons. She lights up a cigarette while holding the LONE title over her right shoulder while Qent folds her arms over her chest.
GUTTER TRASH TERRI THOMPSON VS PRETTY FAY QENT FOR THE LONE CHAMPIONSHIP
The August Assault logo comes flying into the center as the music dies down and purple/pink pyro starts to shoot off at the entrance ramp.
BRRRRAAAT! BRATTATATATTATTA! TAT!.... BOOM!
The PWN feed now cuts to the Commentary Table.
Kevin North: WELCOME EVERYONE to the Prospect Wrestling Network and Supremacy: LONE 38 - August Assault! I'm Kevin North alongside legendary wrestler Frank Washington.
Frank Washington: You're too kind, North! I can't wait for tonight! I've been wondering for the past month now why the way our 4 Year Anniversary ended the way it did.
Kevin North: Me as well, and we're going to hear from them at the start of the program! We've also got Rook vs. Violent Violet in a rematch from the Semi-Finals of the Queen of the Castle Tournament.
Frank Washington: I talked to Rook before the show and she told me her mind has never been more clear than it is right now. She is LASER focused, North!
Kevin North: We've also got Hannah Kix in action tonight.
Frank Washington: I'd say I don't care much for her recent attitude, but her attitude wasn't great before she did what she did to Ashley Lopez anyway.
Kevin North: Let's go to ringside!
Lexi Pryce & Fay Qent promo
A theme unheard to LONE audiences starts up. "The Bomb" by L7 starts up and "The Powderkeg" Lexi Pryce emerges from the curtain along with "Pretty" Fay Qent. They're dressed in the same ring gear from last month, except over it, Lexi Pryce wears a home jersey of The Superbowl LV Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes. She glances over at commentary and can be heard shouting over her music towards Frank Washington.
Lexi: What? What?! Am I wearing something that bothers you?!
She asks as she pops the collar of the jersey towards an annoyed Frank Washington before the two start walking down the aisle. They seem to be all business, staring into the ring and paying the fans no mind. When they get to ringside, Lexi rolls under the bottom rope and Qent enters from the stairs. Lexi marches over to the other side of the ring and demands a microphone from the stagehand. She snatches it when it's given and stomps towards the center of the ring.
Lexi: CUT MY MUSIC! CUT MY DAMN MUSIC!
Qent stands behind Lexi, off to Lexi's right. She folds her arms across her chest and just stares off into the hard camera while the music dies down and Lexi continues.
Lexi: I came to LONE over a year ago to help out a friend! I came to LONE to help her stop a menace. She fed me words with a honeyed tongue that she and I were going to be on top of the world! That we'll RULE LONE, she'll be the LONE Champion and her and I will be tag champs! But where did that get me? Huh?! Involved in all of her bullshit only to end up in CON COLLEGE! What do I have to show for that? Huh? I didn't get a SINGLE phone call or letter from her! Neither did Qent from her loser friend Terri Thompson!
Qent shakes her head slowly.
Lexi: But I'll address Smurfette later! Right now I'm going to address Alison!
Lexi looks over her shoulder at Qent.
Lexi: Or should I call her Albert? She looks like more of a man than Frank Washington!
Qent manages a smile as Lexi turns back around.
Lexi: Albert! Smurfette! You want to know why we did what we did? Because we're tired! We're tired of seeing the two of you at the top of this place! Over and over, while Qent and I were in the joint, we had to watch the two of you be spoonfed to us and we got sick of it!
Lexi starts to pace back and forth.
Lexi: We got sick of seeing you two on top of the mountain and not seeing the two of you show us a DAMN bit of attention! Albert! When I was here, you wouldn't even let me goddamn SPEAK and that changes TONIGHT! You try to make me the Jannetty of the Rockers, but you're gonna be the body that disappears.
Crowd: OOOOOOOOH!
Lexi has a sadistic grin form on her face.
Lexi: You wouldn't let me speak when I was here because you were SCARED! You were scared I was going to OUTSHINE you! But don't worry... You don't have to be scared anymore, Alison Crowne. Or should I say Alison Washington?
The crowd is stunned into silence now. Lexi looks over towards Frank Washington at the announcer's table.
Lexi: Isn't that right, Cousin Frank?
Frank starts to stand up.
Lexi: Whatchu gonna do? Huh?! Whatchu gonna do?! Sit down! Sit down and choke on it, just like your 9ers did!
Crowd: OOOOOOOOH!
Lexi faces the hard camera again.
Lexi: Yeah that's right! You tried to pull a Nicholas Cage on us all and change your name! I used to think it was so you could try to stand out on your own but the truth of the matter is... your family HATES you! It's known! Frankie boy over there can't stand you! And your own SISTER gave you a shiner a few months back! Hi Emily!
Lexi waves at the camera.
Lexi: I used to think, Albert, that you could stand on your own two feet, but you couldn't! Last year when you SCREWED Qent, you couldn't stand on your own two feet... literally and figuratively!
Lexi points behind her.
Lexi: That woman should already be LONE Champion, and she's gonna be the TWO TIME LONE Champion tonight! I don't care what the records say! She beat you flat! And it eats you up inside, Albert! It eats you up inside because there's one thing we both know! One thing we ALL know!..... You can't beat Qent! You've NEVER beat Qent!
Qent nods her head slowly in agreement.
Lexi: You had to get your weasel of a lawyer, who isn't even as good as Eugene B. Varano! You couldn't hire the BEST, could you! You cheapskate! Yeah, it must've been real nice for you! It must've been REAL nice for you to be in Frank's penthouse, bitching about Terri, and your title, and Vampires! Speaking of those two, I want to address them, too! After Qent is done taking the LONE title from that bluehaired wannabe! We're taking the Tag Titles too! And vampires SUCK! Literally and figuratively! Werewolves are better anyway!
Lexi: Think about it! Werewolves become these big badass killing machine BEASTS just like we are! All Vampires do is drink blood, sit around and mope all depressed about how dead they are! Who the hell wants to be one of those? Oh but they can live forever! If I had to live forever as a vampire, I'd throw myself into the sun! But I digress! Alison, you can't hide behind your weasel of a lawyer anymore! Because what's he gonna do?! SUE?! Get us put back in the joint again?! I've got Eugene B. Varano in my back pocket and we BOTH know you don't want that smoke! I hope you enjoyed it while it lasted, Alison! I hope you enjoyed it in Frank's penthouse while we were in the pen eating slop! Eating slop in the big house! It ends tonight! It ends tonight just like Terri's title reign! Speaking of Terri, you know what? "Gutter Trash?!" You're just a watered down version of ME! That's all you are! Albert thought she was rekindling a flame thinking you were as good as me but even SHE saw you suck too! Albert teamed with you thinking you were me! But even she saw that you suck and Qent is gonna prove it tonight! And the color blue SUCKS too! You couldn't dye your hair red? Or at least PURPLE?!
Qent steps forward, patting Lexi on the shoulder who turns around and gives Qent the microphone.
Qent: All you were were a means to an end, Terri! A means for me to get closer to Alison! And over and over I had to hear you whine about Wendy! What about Wendy? What about my Wendy?! Well you know what?! What about AURORE?! HUH?! You don't give a shit! None of you people did! Ever since she got laid out YEARS ago! And tonight I lay YOU out and you can join your wife in the hospital!
Lexi takes the microphone back.
Lexi: You're looking at your future LONE Champion! And the next TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
Lexi spikes the mic down as the two start to head out.
The camera changes back to the announcer's table.
North: Wow... I can't believe what I've just heard. Frank, I gotta say, I'm really sorry that just happened.
Washington: You know what? I should've seen it coming. I honestly should've seen it coming.
North: Well, with that, folks, we bring you to our first match in the evening. Hannah Kix is set to go one on one right now with Hip O. Potamus.
Hannah Kix vs. Hip O. Potamus
Baxter: The Following Contest is scheduled for one fall! Already in the ring, from the Animal Kingdom..... HIP! O! POTAMUUUUUUUUUUUS!
Hip O throws up her hands as some of the crowd cheers!
Suddenly “La Rage” by Keny Arkana blares to life and Hannah steps out onto the stage with her head covered underneath a hoodie with her translator behind her.
La rage du peuple
La rage du peuple
La rage du peuple
La rage du peuple
Standing there for a moment, as to gather her emotions and focus. She then starts shadowboxing and afterwards walks to the ring while mouthing some of the french rap in her ring music 'Parce qu'on a la rage!'
Ok, on a la rage mais c'est pas celle qui fait baver
Demande à Fabe, la vie claque comme une semelle sur les pavés
La rage de voir nos buts entravés, de vivre en travers
La rage gravée depuis bien loin en arrière
La rage d'avoir grandi trop vite quand des adultes volent ton enfance
Pah, imagine un mur et un bolide, la rage
Car impossible est cette paix tant voulue
La rage de voir autant de CRS armés dans nos rues
Baxter: Coming to the ring, from Paris, France, she is... HANNAAAAH KIIIIIIIX!
La rage de voir ce putain de monde s'autodétruire
Et que ce soit toujours des innocents au centre des tirs
La rage car c'est l'homme qui a créé chaque mur
Se barricader de béton, aurait-il peur de la nature?
La rage car il a oublié qu'il en faisait partie
Désharmonie profonde, mais dans quel monde la Colombe est partie
La rage d'être autant balafré par les putains de normes
Et puis la rage, ouais la rage d'avoir la rage depuis qu'on est môme
When she gets to the ring area, she hurries up the ring steps, steps through the ropes and starts to shadowbox some more before going to the center and pulling down her hood. She spreads her arms out and dips her head back.
Parce qu'on a la rage, on restera debout quoi qu'il arrive
La rage d'aller jusqu'au bout et là où veut bien nous mener la vie
Parce qu'on a la rage, on pourra plus se taire ni s'asseoir
Dorénavant on se tiendra prêt parce qu'on a la rage, le cœur et la foi
Parce qu'on a la rage, on restera debout quoi qu'il arrive
La rage d'aller jusqu'au bout au-delà où veut bien nous mener la vie
Parce qu'on a la rage, rien ne pourra plus nous arrêter
Insoumis, sage, marginal, humaniste ou révolté
DING DING
Hip O. Potamus immediately goes after Hannah Kix and tries to charge her and manages to back her into a corner in quick fashion, seemingly catching the kickboxer off-guard. Hip O. manages to throw in a few stiff looking punches to the mid-section before backing off and looking to hit a running splash into the corner but Hannah Kix expertly moves out of the way, causing Hip O. to collide int the turnbuckle at full speed! Hip O. clutches her chest in pain as Kix throws a stiff low kick to the knees, cutting the legs out from under the Queen of the Animal Kingdom before hitting a nasty looking side kick to the head.
North: Kix is coming at Hip O. with frightening aggression right out of the gate!
Washington: She’s got that kickboxing background, an accomplished martial artist in her own right, Kevin.
Kix immediately drops down to the mat and mounts Hip O. and starts bludgeoning her repeatedly in the head with one elbow strike after another. 9-to-3, 12-to-6, and any other angle possible Kix strikes repeatedly and without mercy as she takes out her frustration on her opponent. Hip O. does her best to cover up her face but Kix just knows all the right angles to strike at and leaves her defense mostly ineffective. The referee keeps a close eye on Hip O. to see if she’s coherent enough to intelligently defend herself and decides that for the moment she can.
North: The referee might have to call this one to protect Hip O.’s health!
Washington: It might be in her interest to verbally submit! Hannah Kix is in a very foul mood tonight and she’s going to hurt her if this doesn’t stop soon!
Kix gets up and shoves her boot hard into her face.
Kix: Allez debout! Allez debout!
Kix shouts at Hip O. to get up and almost as if she’s taunting her she waits for her to get up to a wobbly base, motioning with her hands to stand completely upright before she begins kicking her repeatedly in the legs! Hannah Kix makes Hip O. eat every single kick and then some as Hip O.’s legs fall out from under her she hits her hard with a kick to the temple! Kix immediately goes for the pin… 1…...2…..3 !
Baxter: Here is your winner… Hannah Kix!
Kix’s interviewer immediately enters the ring and with a microphone in hand holds it in front of Kix to speak.
Kix: J'espère que vous regardez, Ashley! J'espère que vous regardez parce que c'est un avertissement, c'est un signe avant-coureur de choses à venir la prochaine fois que nous nous croiserons! J'ai eu la chance de devenir reine du château et qu'avez-vous fait? Qu'as-tu fait, tu as gâté petit morveux? Vous avez fait tout votre possible, vous éliminant dans le processus, juste pour me refuser encore une fois! Refusé par un tir à l'opportunité du championnat LONE pour lequel je me suis attendu depuis longtemps! Tout cela parce que si vous ne pouvez pas l’avoir, alors moi non plus; typiquement américain gâté! Vous pensez que vous avez droit à tout et quand vous le faites, vous lancez une crise de colère comme un petit enfant! Le temps des jeux est terminé Ashley et bientôt je te ferai manger ton Kix!
Sur mon temps; pas le vôtre.
Translator: I hope you’re watching, Ashley! I hope you’re watching because this is a warning, this is a harbinger of things to come next time we cross paths! I had a chance to become Queen of the Castle and what did you do? What did you do, you spoiled little brat? You went out of your way, eliminating yourself in the process, just to deny me yet again! Denied from a shot at the LONE Championship opportunity that I’ve been long overdue for! All because if you can’t have it, then I won’t either; typical spoiled American! You think you’re entitled to everything and when you do you throw a tantrum like a little child! The time for games are over Ashley and soon I will make you Eat Your Kix!
On my time; not yours.
With that Hannah Kix and her translator exit the ring as EMTs begin to attend to Hip O. on the outside.
Madison Anderson segment
Linda Edwards: Hello everybody, I’m Linda Edwards here with Madison Anderson joining me here via satellite at the local hospital. First of all Madison, last month you managed to get another surprise win over Olga but it came at a hefty price.
The screen on the tron shows a split image with Linda Edwards on one side standing in front of a LONE banner while the other half of the screen shows Madison Anderson sitting in a hospital bed with her neck in a brace.
Linda Edwards: Frank Debauchee cut off your escape route and the aftermath was… ugly, to say the least. So first of all I got to ask you; how are you feeling?
Madison: Honestly, Linda? I’ve felt better but I’m getting better, too. I appreciate the outpouring of support I’ve received from the girls in the locker room and the wonderful LONE fans over the past month. I’ll be honest; I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so good! You always hear about how awful hospital food tastes but I’ve only made had three hospital meals the entire time here. Fans, well-wishers, and family have been dropping off food at the reception desk so I’ve had the opportunity to kind of make the best of this situation. All in all, I’m lucky.
Linda Edwards: That’s good to hear, I’m glad you’re keeping yourself up in good spirits. Now the next question on everyone’s minds is where does your career go from here? Are you going to be able to wrestle again; do you want to? You’ve been trending upward throughout the year but Olga and Debauchee seem to have no intentions of just letting you be.
Madison: Honestly, at first I wasn’t sure. I suffered a few broken ribs and I just narrowly avoided a serious injury to my spine but my doctors have given me an optimistic prognosis and I could be cleared in a month or two to resume physical activity if everything goes smoothly. That being said I have every intention of getting through this and coming back stronger than ever because I owe it to my fans and to myself to get back out there and become the best version of myself. To see how close I came to losing all of this has just motivated me to come back stronger than ever and to make the most of this second chance I’ve been given.
Linda Edwards: I think you’ll go far if you put your mind to it and the fans as well as myself look forward to seeing the best version of Madison Anderson possible when you’re cleared and get back on your own two feet. Do you have anything else you’d like to say to the fans or in general before we wrap this up?
Madison: Yeah, actually I’d like to…
KNOCK KNOCK
“Miss Anderson, can we have a moment?”
The split screen focuses on Madison now as a doctor walks into the frame of the camera. He’s wearing a facemask and a lab coat buttoned up as a hint of a pink shirt can be seen underneath. Wearing a pair of blue gloves he holds a clipboard in his hand.
Madison: Can it wait a moment?
‘Doctor’: No, I’m afraid it can’t. I’m afraid your condition has… taken a turn for the worse.
Madison has a confused look on her face as her eyes shift over.
Madison: What do you mean? I did some physical therapy earlier today and I was told I was making progress.
‘Doctor’: Well, that was earlier. But I regret to inform you that we’ve… discovered a roadblock in your recovery that didn’t show up previously. But everything’s going to be okay; you won’t be in pain much longer.
Madison gives the doctor an uneasy glance, not liking the tone of his voice as it seemed to shift downward as he spoke.
‘Doctor’: Nurse, please, if you’ll help me with the patient here; she could use some... anesthesia.
The ‘nurse’ walks into view as it’s none other than Olga! Madison turns pale immediately as she’s practically a sitting duck as Olga dashes over and starts hammering her repeatedly in the face with her fist. Madison tries to cover herself up but it was no use as Olga reached under the bed and smacked her in the face repeatedly with a metal bedpan! Meanwhile the ‘Doctor’ quickly walks out of the room before returning with a series of metal straps and begins to strap Madison down to the bed by her feet and wrists all while Olga has her hands wrapped around Madison’s throat! It becomes clear quickly who this ‘Doctor’ really is as he pulls down the mask and throws off his glasses to reveal none other than Frank Debauchee! Debauchee unbuttons his lab coat as he begins to direct traffic with Olga.
Debauchee: Alright, Olga, she’s strapped in. Now lets take this little brat and show her to her new ‘room’!
Madison begins to panic but before she can open her mouth to scream Olga smacks her head hard with the bedpan as a loud CLUNK is heard. Debauchee opens the door as Olga disconnects the wires plugged into Madison’s body and begins to wheel her out and down the hallway. Debauchee clears the way ahead as hospital staff see him begin to take off his lab coat and roll up his sleeves, giving away a hint of his muscular physique and seeing Olga behind him quickly seems to strike even more fear into their hearts. They wheel her out to the lobby and past the elevator as Debauchee opens another door to the stairs. Olga wheels Madison through the door as stairs can be seen going up and down.
Debauchee: Enjoy the ICU, sweetcheeks!
No sooner than he says this does Olga shove the bed with Madison in it down the flight of steps! Madison lets out a blood curdling scream as the bed noisily descends, flipping on its side and crashing all the way to the bottom. Debauchee wears a very wide and satisfied grin as he gazes upon the aftermath with Olga standing at his side before he offers his arm, Olga taking it as they strut out as the camera focuses on the grisly aftermath.
Violent Violet vs Rook
Violent Violet's voice is heard over the PA:
I.
AM.
VIOLENCE!
"I am Violence" by Drag the Lake kicks on over the PA. Violent Violet stands on stage, surveying the audience before just casually walking to the ring. Cinnamon is off to Violent Violet's left, putting her arms out as if to showcase Violent just before the two head to the ring.
DING DING DING!
Baxter: The Following Contest is scheduled for one fall! First, on her way to the ring, accompanied by Queen Cinnamon, From Minneapolis, Minnesota, she is VIOLEEEENT VIOLEEEEEEEEEEEEET!
Violent Violet steps through the ropes after hurrying up the steel steps, and when she gets into the ring she just stands in the center and gives the camera a hard stare. Cinnamon stands at ringside, clapping for Violent Violet and cheering for her as the camera takes a moment to focus on her. She turns to it and smiles, pointing at her tiara.
Cinnamon: Address me as your Queen!
Kernkraft 400's "Zombie Nation (Original Version)" starts up. Rook steps out from behind the curtain, standing on stage and lowering her glasses some as she looks out over the crowd. She takes a few steps before taking her glasses off and tossing them out towards whichever lucky fan will catch them, before retrieving another pair and sliding them on.
Baxter: And her opponent! From Deer Lodge County, Montana! ROOOOOOOOOOK!
She hops up onto the apron, taking a few steps and then putting one leg through the middle and top rope, but pauses to lower her glasses and look out at the crowd before fully stepping through.
DING DING
Violent Violet wastes no time going after Rook and tries to go for the head but Rook having faced her before was prepared and immediately drops to the mat before Violet can connect and sweeps the leg, cutting her down to the mat. Rook immediately tries to lock Violet into the heel hook early but Violet doesn’t let her get a firm grip as she kicks her away. Rook stays on her back as Violet seems to sense a trap and backs off as she gets to her feet, allowing Rook to get back up as well. Violet appears to dart for Rook again but Rook acts like she’s going to go low for an amateur wrestling style takedown which causes Violet to slam on the brakes. Rook catches herself in a three point stance to stop her momentum from taking her down to the mat as she watches Violet intently.
North: Rook is quickly getting familiar with Violent Violet’s path of attack and she seems to think keeping her grounded is a way to minimize her brawling ability.
Washington: It’s a very smart plan of attack, Kevin. Violet may seem crazy at times but there’s always a method to her madness. She thrives in organized chaos of her own creation and she aware of what to look out for. Plus you can’t forget Queen of the Castle Cinnamon in her corner either; she’s the X-Factor that could tilt the match in Violet’s favor. Rook’s used to being against the odds though and I think that’s shaped her into a very sharp competitor early on in her career.
Cinnamon at this point hops up on the apron to catch Rooks attention and distracts her for half a second, which was all Violet needed to blindside her with a running knee to the head. Cinnamon claps as she hops back down as Violet wastes no time wrapping her hands around Rook’s throat and squeezing vigorously! Before the referee could even try to call for a clean break Violet started to headbutt Rook aggressively before the count starts coming.
1!
2!
3!
Before the referee can reach the count of four Cinnamon grabs the referee’s leg, which breaks his focus and gets him to turn his attention away as Violet gets in a few more blows that would’ve taken her past the count of five before she lets go. The referee threatens to eject Cinnamon but Cinnamon feigns ignorance about how she almost lost her balance with the ‘heavy’ tiara on her head.
North: Speaking of X-Factors, Cinnamon just bought Violet several more seconds! What a despicable act!
Washington: A few seconds may not sound like much to those watching at home but trust me as I’m speaking from experience, a few seconds might as well be an eternity in the squared circle. A few extra seconds could ultimately decide victory or defeat, a lot of damage can be inflicted with just a few extra precious seconds or it could allow someone to recover just enough to keep themselves in the thick of things.
Violet reaches down and takes Rook’s sunglasses and takes them off her head and puts them on her face making goofy faces as she stands over her. Violet then takes them off and throws them at the ramp causing the fans to boo loudly. Rook doesn’t appear to be too happy but isn’t in much of a position to do anything about it presently a Violet yanks her up by her hair and shoves her to the ropes before driving a hard elbow into her face. Violet then grabs the ropes and pulls the middle over the top with Rook’s arms trapped in between! The referee immediately tells Violet to back off but Violet wails on her with right after right to the face as Rook tries to kick her away. The referee calls for another clean break.
1!
2!
3!
4!
Violet stops only to back the referee into a corner and shouting in his face. Cinnamon hops back up on the apron and starts to choke Rook!
North: Come on referee, eject her! Enough is enough!
Washington: And yet again Spice and Ice are milking every second they can. Violet knows how far she can push without getting an outright disqualification and Cinnamon has an approximation of how many seconds she has to work with the outside offense. Sure, it’s illegal as all hell but the team chemistry is on point all the same.
North: That doesn’t excuse it, though! This is pretty much a handicap match!
Rook kicks her feet on the mat to try to catch the referee’s attention and the referee turns around just in time to catch Cinnamon’s feet hitting the ground! The referee shouts at Cinnamon who throws up her hands defensively as he works to free Rook from the ropes. As Rook is freed she drops to her knees as Violet blows past the referee and kicks her hard in the jaw before going for the quick pin. The referee goes to count 1….2….KICKOUT! Rook kicks out as Violet drives her forearm into her face as she rubs it back and forth over it before dropping and elbow shot on it. Rook fights back as she throws several hard punches and manages to force Violet off her just enough to scoot back out of reach. Violet shakes her head looking to get the cobwebs out before getting up to charge after Rook but Rook manages to catch her back down to the mat as she pops up long enough to hit her with an amateur wrestling takedown! Rook goes for the leg and begins to transition into the heel hook and she gets it locked in tight!
North: Heel Hook! Rook has her trapped!
Washington: If Violet doesn’t get out of that in a hurry that’ll be all she wrote; ask The Glorious One! Decades of experience couldn’t save her from that hold!
Violet screams in pain as she tries to fight free and claw her way towards the ropes while Rook keeps her locked in tight like a vice grip. Violet reaches out towards Cinnamon as the referee checks to see if Rook’s shoulders are on the mat and pulls her towards the ropes! Cinnamon quickly walks away as the referee turns around to catch Violet putting her hand on the bottom rope several seconds later! The referee immediately calls for Rook to let go!
1!
2!
Rook lets go and gets up and tries to pull Violet back towards the center of the ring but Violet tries to grab her into an inside cradle pin and manages to do so! 1…..2….KICKOUT!
North: Violet almost stole it with that cradle after a little outside help!
Washington: You got to always look out for the inside cradle! It doesn’t matter how in control of the match you think you are, I’ve seen many veterans and rookies alike get ahead of themselves and succumb to that! It’s an insidious little pin that pops out of nowhere!
Rook kicks out and tries to hook her arm around Violet’s neck as she tries to transition into a rear naked choke. Violet struggles and tries to fight out of it and while Rook has the clutch around the neck Violet won’t let her transition to the body scissors as she forces herself and Rook back up to their feet. Violet reaches back and jams both thumbs into Rook’s eyes, forcing her to let go which gets a stern warning from the referee. Violet grabs Rook by the hair and rams her knee hard into her face several times and beats her back into the ropes as she begins to headbutt her repeatedly once again. Rook slowly begins to slump against the ropes as Violet grabs her by the hair like a trophy as one could assume Violent Tendencies was in the near future.
North: Violent Violet perhaps looking for Violent Tendencies here; that vicious package piledriver!
Washington: If Violet hits that, that’s it! Any variation of the piledriver is incredibly difficult to kick out of and if you’re fortunate to survive with your neck intact you just might forget the next week after!
Violet true to form, almost as if fulfilling a prophecy on commentary places Rook’s head between her legs and begins to lift her up for her Violent Tendencies package piledriver but Rook manages to somehow slip out in a way that’d make the illusionist and magician Houdini proud and lands on her feet after tumbling in the air, dropping down and snaring Violet’s leg! With Violet stuck in the center of the ring Rook takes her opponent completely by surprise and locks in the heelhook for the second time! Cinnamon darts around ringside, unsure of what to do as Violet desperately reaches out to her but she’s too far away. Violet bites the inside of her thumb in pain as she tries desperately not to tap but the pain becomes too much and her hand slaps furiously on the mat!
North: She did it! Rook’s Heel Hook claims another victim!
Baxter: Here is your winner… ROOK!
Rook lets go as Cinnamon goes to slide into the ring, rolling out under the bottom rope just before the reigning Queen of the Castle can get her hands on her. Rook raises her hands in victory as several fans pat on her on the back as she retreats to the back in triumph!
Washington: I tell you what, Kevin, for someone who came frighteningly close to becoming Queen of the Castle in her first year and a heartbeat away from being LONE Champion on several occasions she has every intangible you look for in a future world champion. This is far from over though; I’m sure Cinnamon realizes that too and she doesn’t want any competition. This ongoing rivalry is one to watch.
Alison Crowne segment
Linda Edwards: Hello, I’m Linda Edwards here again; twice in one night not bad, eh? And I’m standing outside the private locker room of Alison Crowne waiting to hear her thoughts and her response to Lexi Pryce and Fay Qent earlier in the night.
The door opens as Alison stands there in her ring gear wearing a Highlight of the Night shirt looking a bit perplexed and irritated at the same time as her gaze shifts to Linda.
Alison: What do you want?
She glared at her and if looks could kill, Linda would be six feet under right now. Alison was in a very sour mood and it seemed to immediately saturate the atmosphere around her.
Linda Edwards: Well; I’m sure you, like everyone else, saw how LONE opened this evening and I wanted to get your thoughts and see how you feel knowing that…
Alison: Stop… just stop.
Alison placed her hand on top of the microphone and snatched it out of her hand.
Alison: You want to know how I feel; YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW I FEEL?! I feel like I’ve been betrayed all over again! You know… dealing with one traitor for as long as I have with Terri was bad enough. She hurt me, Linda, she stabbed me in the back but now I have to deal with Lexi not only stabbing me in the back but spitting on my face while I’m bleeding out on the floor? It’s unforgivable! Lexi took something I told her in confidence, in private and she put it out into the world to try to HURT me! Qent doesn’t surprise me, we never got along and she broke my nose once upon a time and I gave her a nice little receipt for her trouble but Lexi; I trusted you!
I fought for you to every single promoter that would listen to me to give you a second chance after you suffered a broken leg in a horrible accident. I tried to reassure them that you weren’t a liability or an insurance risk and that it wouldn’t affect your ability to go out there and compete at a high level. I brought you on board and gave Jack E. Bux no choice but to give you a deal because I had the power of the LONE Championship behind me, I had the stroke to get my way and I used it to bring someone who I THOUGHT was my best friend up with me! I remember all the long car rides we’d take through the southeast, driving from Florida through Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina as a team. I remember spending my last five dollars to share dinner with you so neither of us would go hungry because they paid us fucking peanuts back then! We didn’t have the name value or experience to command what we could today; we struggled together! I didn’t want to use my family name, I didn’t want to be known as Alison Washington to get a free cut to the front of the line and a deal that I frankly didn’t earn because of who my cousin is! I came in as Alison Crowne to create my OWN name, and my own legacy; something that’s MINE! And you come out tonight and you try to take that away from me, for what; FOR WHAT!? I FOUGHT FOR YOUR UNSTABLE ASS AND YOU STABBED ME IN THE BACK AND LEFT ME FOR DEAD!
Linda takes a few steps back, frightened by Alison’s anger and knowing her history of making an example out of LONE officials when she felt she’s been crossed.
Alison: Because you’re the Powder Keg, right? You’re going to explode, right?! The only thing that’s going to explode is the meniscus in your kneecap when I get my hands on you!
You know what Lexi… I don’t need you, I don’t need Terri, I don’t need Emily or Frank; the only person I can count on is ME! Because despite the fact that you’ve tried to put a little asterisk next to my career doesn’t change the fact that everything I’ve accomplished was off my own blood and sweat and that’s not going to start to change now because the world knows my real last name.
But don’t think for a second that means Sister Catherine and Stitches are off the hook; not for a second! I’m still here and I’m still the number one contender to the LONE Tag Team Championship. I haven’t forgotten the thorns the two of you have been in my side in my pursuit to reclaim the LONE Championship and I’m going to take all this anger and hatred; I’m going to take ALL of this pain and I’m going to use it to take those belts for myself; and I’ll do it by myself!
A slow clapping can be heard as Isaac Cornelius The Third, IC3, the President of the Prospect Wrestling Network himself walks into view.
IC3: First of all, Alison, it’s a pleasure to finally be meeting you face to face once again. I’m impressed by your passion and your ironclad determination but of course I’m not surprised; you hold the record for the single longest LONE Championship reign at 456 days! You’ve become every bit the franchise player I thought you could eventually become from when I saw you in Missouri four years ago; you made me look like a genius by hiring you back then. Seeing all of your success warms my heart and you were a very classy champion; you won with class. I was just on my way to speak to you actually about your LONE Tag Team Championship opportunity but… no time like the present, right? Might as well kill two birds with one stone and save me the hassle of issuing a press release after this show.
Alison keeps her eyes locked on IC3 as he grins. Linda meanwhile quietly excuses herself; better the boss than her.
IC3: It is true that Jack E. Bux has already agreed to the match since all parties involved have already agreed to the match in principle. I can’t stop that from happening; on the contrary, I wouldn’t even dream of doing so. The Damned have taken on and beaten all challengers to date and they’re on a historic tear but there’s one team they haven’t beaten. See, Alison, I don’t think it’s in your best interest to go solo and it’s not in LONE or PWN’s best interest to send you out there in a handicap situation with the championship on the line. So, I’ve taken it upon myself to make an executive decision and add to the match. Alison, you will have a tag team partner and I think you’ll come to see my point of view in due time that this is for the best outcome for everyone. I’ve taken notice to your deep personal issues with Fay Qent and Lexi Pryce but you’re not the only woman who has deep personal issues with these two; your tag team partner also shares this. I know the two of you haven’t been exactly on… speaking terms outside of LONE the past two years but I think now more than ever a little bit of ‘team bonding’ could go a long way. Therefore I’m announcing next month Royal Plunder will be reuniting, as Alison Crowne and Terri Thompson team up to take on Sister Catherine and Stitches of The Damned!
Alison’s eyes flare with rage as she nearly turns red with her blood boiling inside her veins.
Alison: WHAT?! You got to be fucking kidding me, Isaac!
IC3: Calm down, Alison, show some class; I have my reasons. At one point in time Royal Plunder was one of the hottest tag teams on the independent scene and in the early days of LONE and yet I think it’s an injustice that the two of you never once had the opportunity to challenge for the LONE Tag Team Championship together. The two of you, like it or not, are stuck with a common enemy for the foreseeable future and if you want to survive you’re going to have to close ranks and come back together. So I’m throwing you two into the fire, I’m giving the two of you an individual reason with that championship bonus to learn to work together once again.
The other reason is business related; Alison. Because you’re both some of the biggest names in LONE and you’ve both been here since day one and quite frankly seeing Royal Plunder back together is going to drive the gates and push buyrates up through the roof. To see a pair of singles competitors grow and thrive on their own after being popular as a unit reunite I think will show the world that Royal Plunder is even better than they used to be once they learn to work together again. That’s more money in my pocket, more money in Jack E. Bux’s pocket, and more money in the pockets of you and Terri. So if I was you Alison, I’d recommend reopening those lines of communication with Terri and have a little detente in advance of your shared opportunity. Win with class, Alison.
With a smug grin IC3 walks off as Alison slams her fist into the door, leaving a sizable dent before swinging the door open and slamming it behind her.
"Pretty" Fay Qent vs "Gutter Trash" Terri Thompson
"Pretty Vacant" by The Sex Pistols kicks in as "Pretty" Fay Qent with "The Powderkeg" Lexi Pryce(minus the Mahomes jersey) step through the curtain. They enter the ring the same way they did earlier. Lexi Pryce paces around while Qent stands in a corner with her arms folded over her chest.
Overkill's "Hello from the Gutter" starts up as Terri Thompson emerges from the curtain. She stands on stage, gazing out at everyone with the LONE Championship over her right shoulder. She's wearing her usual ring gear with BURIAL ARTISTS FUCK OFF on her shirt, and her war vest. She starts to slap hands with fans on the way to the ring and when she makes it to ringside, she moves for the barricade and rests her back against it, gazing into the camera while fans pat the belt and her shoulders. She turns to face them now, standing up on the bottom of the barricade and leaning over as she calls for a fan to pour beer into her mouth. When they do, she sprays it into a fine mist into the air and then rolls into the ring. She props up and unhooks the belt from her shoulder, holding it up as she gets in Qent's face and the ref has to get between them. Terri hands the ref the belt and gets to the opposite corner of Qent.
DING DING
The crowd boos as Qent looks forward with the cold gaze of a killer. Lexi whispers her advice before rolling out of the ring and standing at ringside.
Baxter: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the LONE Championship! Introducing first the challenger, accompanied by Lexi Pryce she is the 2019 Rumble Winner “Pretty” Fay Qent!
North: Qent is finally getting her long awaited championship match after having her parole revoked after attacking then-champion Alison Crowne and her attorney Gordon Barrows last year. Still, as she remained under contract she’s still owed that championship match from winning last year’s Rumble and now that she’s out and with backup she’s getting the opportunity owed to her.
Washington: You know, I do my best to remain impartial; to bring to light insight into the minds of the competitors having a lot of matches under my belt myself. But I’ll be honest; the last few months have been hard in certain situations. I didn’t quite care what these two had to say at the start of this show and I don’t like that they went into business for themselves in revealing confidential information. It was Alison’s choice to forge her own name; not mine. If anyone it should’ve been up to her whether or not to eventually reveal her connection as my cousin. It’s no secret the two of us have disagreed over a lot over the course of her career and sometimes you’ve seen it spill out in front of these cameras. But to drag Emily’s name out into the open too, when she wants nothing to do with the Washington name? That’s despicable and that’s a shoot. But at the same time; I get it. It’s a psychological move, it’s an X-Factor that they’re hoping will come into their favor during this match. Lexi betrayed Alison but Qent betrayed Terri too; if Alison does get involved at some point you have to assume they have a plan to take advantage of the ensuing chaos to try to steal the championship. Lexi and Qent have been locked up together for almost a year; that’s a lot of time to plan.
Baxter: And her opponent, from Portland, Maine, she is the reigning and defending 3-time LONE Champion, “Gutter Trash” Terri Thompson!
The referee holds up the LONE Championship for the crowd to see while Qent darts past him. Terri, quick on her feet, sees this and meets Qent in the center a the two immediately begin brawling in the center of the ring. The referee moves out of the way and immediately calls for the opening bell.
DING DING
The two former friends and tag team partners continue to fight inside the ring as Terri and Qent are throwing heavy fists at one another without appearing to hold anything back right out the gate. Terri manages to catch four solid, nasty shots right near Qent’s right eye in quick succession as she begins to try to beat her down into the corner. All this does is just enrage Qent however as she firmly grabs Terri around the throat and slams her into the corner herself! With her forearm pressed against her throat she begins driving her knees repeatedly into her ribs causing the referee to immediately call for a clean break.
1!
2!
3!
4!
Qent backs off and throws her hands up just long enough to break the count before she throws a haymaker at Terri’s face, connecting and causing her to slump into the corner.
North: Qent is showing zero signs of holding back in the early going but she’s already flirting with a potential disqualification.
Washington: It’s all about the LONE Championship. Every single woman in LONE wants to hold that belt and whoever the champion is at the time is a target. Gold will drive men and women to do terrible things and turn on one another.
Qent gets in the official’s face and tries to challenge him over his count with an aggressive posture which immediately gets the referee in a defensive position as he throws up his hands. This was all Lexi Pryce needed to slip over and around the ring to where Terri was slumped over before she began punching the reigning champion repeatedly before trying to choke her! Terri tries to fight back but Lexi had the leverage advantage and mostly has her way with her as Terri kicks her feet on the mat as she struggles. The referee hears this but Qent immediately steals the focus back for herself as she shoves the referee a few times. The referee appears to warn her of a disqualification but Qent doesn’t think he has the courage to do it and continues to browbeat him for a few more moments before Lexi lets go and with a twisted grin walks around the ring only for the referee to be none the wiser as Terri begins to gasp for air.
North: Lexi running interference and adding more insult to injury there! Come on, ref, just eject her already!
Washington: In a way Terri is very familiar with this. Several times Lexi Pryce has either cost Terri the championship or thwarted her attempts to regain it; the only difference here is she’s helping Qent instead of Alison. Terri doesn’t have anybody in her corner to level the playing field; the only advantage she has is the Championship Advantage and she’s too proud of a champion to take it. She’ll still retain in a count out or a disqualification but Terri’s always made a point of doing things the right way.
Qent grabs Terri by the hair and yanks her up to her feet roughly but Terri catches Qent with a swift uppercut to the chin, stunning her momentarily. Terri immediately slams her foot hard into Qent’s knee as she tries to chop the monster’s legs out from under her and the challenger falls to a knee. Terri begins kicking at Qent’s head aggressively and repeatedly and in doing so Qent begins to fall back over against the ropes but Terri keeps on kicking! The referee yells at Terri to stop.
1!
2!
3!
4!
Finally the referee pulls Terri off Qent by force as the crowd erupts into cheers. Terri tries to shove past the referee immediately as Lexi Pryce seems to take advantage of the situation to slip something to Qent.
North: Terri is definitely fighting back, she’s still got a lot of fire left in her!
Washington: That’s all good and well but I think Lexi just slipped Qent a foreign object there. Terri better not let her zeal get the better of her here; it’s the same mistake she made against Alison long ago.
Terri doesn’t seem to care about disqualification at this point, perhaps tired of being betrayed by people she thought were her friends but nonetheless the referee was going to do his best to maintain order. Terri is quick to brush past the referee and to head back to Qent, looking to drag her to her feet but Qent manages to connect with a rather effective sucker punch to the gut, knocking all of the wind and perhaps a little bit more out of Terri! Terri’s eyes nearly pop out of her head as she doubles over before she falls like a redwood in a forest as Qent follows up with a nasty rabbit punch to the back of the head! Qent flashes a sick grin as she takes a moment or two to catch her breath as Terri appears to be laying motionless on the mat. Qent keeps her right fist tightly closed as Terri slowly begins to stir as she appears to be extremely disoriented.
North: What a sick rabbit punch! Terri could be seriously hurt!
Washington: I’m sure she is; nobody takes a rabbit punch and feels quite themselves after, even less so when added weight is behind it.
Qent gets up and kicks Terri in the face with her boot several times as she tries to find her way back to her feet. Terri, after a bit of a struggle, finally makes it back to her feet as she wobbles and tries to find her center of gravity. As soon as she does however, Qent catches her with another right punch straight to the jaw that sends Terri crashing back to the mat again. The referee immediately kneels to check on Terri and with her back to the referee Qent tosses what appears to be a roll of quarters to Lexi Pryce on the outside.
North: The referee might not have a choice but to call for a medical stoppage if this goes much further.
Washington: While I don’t think that’s how Qent is trying to win she’d take it all the same. I think right now she’s just trying to hurt her as much as possible before taking the W she feels she deserves.
Qent wastes no time as she stomps hard on Terri’s back several times causing her to scream in pain. Qent towers over Terri and grabs Terri around the top of her neck by her chin and begins to contort her body backwards as she crouches into a near seated position. Qent holds her by the hair briefly with one hand as she grabs Terri’s arms and yanks them backwards before completing the chinlock as she’s locked in Camel Clutch, made famous by the former bodyguard to the Shah of Iran! Terri screams in pain as Qent leans backward with the hold locked in tightly with Terri near the center of the ring.
North: Qent with a camel clutch that would make the bodyguard to the former shah of Iran proud!
Washington: I don’t know how much Terri has left in her. If she’s got just a spark left inside of her she’s going to use that to fight with everything she has but after taking those loaded punches the way she has; I don’t know, Kevin, I just don’t know.
The referee asks Terri if she wishes to quit but she screams out a defiant “NO”! Lexi can be seen at ringside slapping her hand on the apron several times goading Terri to quit before pressing the bottom rope closer to Terri even though she might as well be a mile and a half away at this point. Terri tries to crawl towards the bottom rope but she struggles to barely make any ground as Qent just has superior leverage over her. Qent cranks back for all she’s worth as Terri begins to struggle less and less as her body begins to become more and more limp. Terri reaches out for the bottom rope and tries to crawl just a little closer but her hand falls limp to the mat.
North: I think we’re about to see a new Champion! Terri always fights her heart out but one has to wonder how much she’s got left to fight with after having another friend turn on her.
The referee goes to check on Terri who doesn’t appear to be responding. He goes to grab Terri’s hand and lifts it up high in the air as it falls limp to the mat. The referee holds up a finger before he goes to check again as he raises her hand high and lets it drop limp a second time. After holding up two fingers he looks over towards the timekeeper as he does it for a third time. Terri’s hand appears to be crashing towards the mat at a breakneck pace and the referee appears to be ready to call for the bell but right before it collides to the mat Terri clenches her hand into a fist and stops its descent!
Washington: Hold on just a minute! Terri Thompson is still in this! She won’t quit!
Terri begins to scratch and claw for the ropes again, gritting her teeth as she does. Her progress is slow but steady as she begins to drag Qent with her by force. Terri reaches out for the ropes as she’s half a fingertip’s length away now. Terri reaches out once more and is about to reach it… Lexi grabs a hold of the bottom rope and pulls it away! The crowd boos loudly and the referee immediately tells Lexi to let go but she taunts him by saying she isn’t actually physically involved with the match itself! The arguing, while futile keeps Terri in peril several seconds longer than usual before the referee kicks Lexi’s hand and forces her to let go; Terri grabs the bottom rope!
North: Terri reached the ropes!
Qent refuses to break the hold and keeps it locked in tight! The referee immediately begins the five count.
1!
2!
3!
4!
FIV-
Qent lets go at the last second as the damage appears to have already been done! Terri tries to use the ropes to lift herself up but Qent immediately yanks her away by the hair and drags her to the middle of the ring. Qent throws her over her shoulder as she looks to hit a tombstone piledriver but Terri wiggles free and lands on her feet behind her, albeit barely! Terri manages to somehow find her center of gravity long enough for Qent to turn around and straight into a desperation superkick by the champion! Qent falls like a stone plunged into a lake but Terri collapses to the mat as well!
North: Superkick!
Washington: That’s a game changer there, that could change the entire complexion of this match!
The referee sees both women on the mat and begins the ten count.
1!
2!
3!
4!
The Champion, Terri Thompson, is the first to begin moving as she slowly rolls over towards the ropes as Qent can be heard groaning as Lexi yells at her to get up from the outside.
5!
6!
Terri begins to pull herself up with the ropes as Qent pulls herself up to a knee.
7!
Terri is back to her feet.
8!
Qent is back to her feet and immediately charges at Terri. Terri ducks an incoming Tomahawk Chop clothesline and immediately fires several swift right jabs to the challenger’s face before irish whipping her over to the ropes. As Qent comes back on the rebound Terri hits her with a swift enziguri sending her down to the mat!
North: Terri with the enziguri! I think the adrenaline is starting to flow!
Terri quickly gets back to her feet and drives her knee right into Qent’s face as she attempts to get back to a vertical base herself. Terri measures Qent up as Lexi jumps up on the apron to try to distract her; Terri runs over to punch her but Lexi hops off! Qent gets up and grabs Terri by the throat and tries to lift her up for a chokeslam but Terri escapes and lands behind her, countering by throwing her Down The Drain with the blue thunder bomb!
Washington: Have mercy! She just drew Qent Down the Drain!
Terri goes for the quick pin; 1…..2…..KICKOUT! Terri waves her hands up and down to get the crowd to make some noise as she gets up and backs off as Qent very slowly tries to make her way back to her feet and Terri firmly plants her Mind in the Gutter when she finally does with her signature bulldog! Terri goes for the pin once again as the crowd counts along…. 1……2…..3! Or at least it would’ve been three if Lexi didn’t pull the referee out of the ring before his hand could come down!
North: Enough is enough! Toss her out! Terri just beat Qent in the middle of the ring fair and square!
Washington: If the referee doesn’t see it it doesn't count!
For probably the first time in years, the crowd begins to cheer as Alison Crowne makes her way out from the back, sprinting out to attack Lexi Pryce from behind as she argued with the referee!
North: I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think Alison Crowne is here to help Terri Thompson!
Washington: Well IC3 did order Royal Plunder to reunite next month as a matter of business but he was right about one thing; they do have a common enemy! While I don’t think the phrase ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ will apply to Alison and Terri anytime soon but at least for the moment they’re too busy fighting Qent and Lexi to fight one another!
North: You’re right, Frank. Alison feels like she should be the LONE Champion, Terri feels like she should’ve beaten Alison. Neither one wants to be watching the back of the other but right now, at least in this moment they are. Plus I have another theory; I think it’d make Alison even angrier if someone other than Terri ended up as the champion before she could regain it for herself. Think about it; Alison wants to take everything away from Terri, she’s said so herself. Not to mention; Lexi spilled the family secret.
Washington: I think you might be onto something there! And I know Alison is prideful to a fault, Kevin. I don’t think she’d take it well if the very people who also ambushed her managed to add that title to their camp the very next month; it’d be at her expense as well! I don’t expect this truce to last, but at least for tonight, give em hell, Alison!
Alison grabs Lexi, her other former best friend, by her hair and slams it right into the turnbuckle post! Alison kicks at Lexi repeatedly before closing in with a series of punches. Lexi, with a sick grin on her face, appears to welcome this exchange and she fires back with a wild flurry of her own as she fights with Alison on the outside. The fighting quickly spills into the crowd as Lexi clotheslines Alison over the railing and hops over to join her. Alison gets up and throws an open chair at Lexi’s head to stun her, causing a fan’s popcorn and nachos to go flying everywhere as they just barely avoided being hit in the collision themselves. Lexi and Alison continue to exchange blows as they begin to fight to the back.
North: For probably the first time in a long time I think Terri’s actually happy to see Alison!
Washington: Make no mistake; this doesn’t suddenly make them friends again but perhaps, just maybe Terri is catching a glimpse of the woman that used to be her friend, the one that had her back! I know neither of them will admit it but no matter what circumstances caused this one to pass to actually not be at each other’s throats and working together again, even if indirectly, is a significant milestone. And Isaac had nothing to do with this one!
Meanwhile as this is going on the referee turns his attention back to the ring and slides back in as Terri looks a little surprised at Alison of all people coming to her aid. Terri however doesn’t allow herself to be distracted for longer than a few moments as she grabs Qent by the hair and begins to lift her up as she looks to hit the fisherman buster, famously known as Frank Washington’s G.O.A.T. to successfully defend the title and she connects! Terri goes for the pin….1……..2…...Qent puts her foot on the bottom rope…...3!
DING DING!
Baxter: Here is your winner and STILL LONE Champion…. “Gutter Trash” Terri Thompson!
North: Terri found a way to survive! Qent and Lexi were a very formidable challenge but perhaps with some inadvertent help from Alison Crowne of all people she’s soundly defeated the 2019 Rumble winner! The three-time LONE Champion has found a way to do it once again!
Washington: Hold on a second, Kevin! Look, I think Qent managed to get her foot on the bottom rope… and she has! This isn’t over!
By this time Terri has already began to celebrate as the timekeeper has already handed her the LONE Championship. Terri holds it up high in the air in celebration as the official sees Qent’s foot on the bottom rope and immediately waves off the decision! Terri turns around to face the referee who immediately yanks the belt out of her hands! Terri looks confused and tries to reach for the championship as the referee then explains that Qent’s foot was on the bottom rope! Terri pleads her case but the referee emphatically kicks the bottom rope with his foot several times to drive his point home! Terri appears to be upset as she heard the bell ring and herself announced as the winner but she doesn’t have much time to dwell on this as soon as she turns around Qent nearly takes her head off with the Tomahawk Chop clothesline! The referee hears this impact and pauses before he can hand the belt back off to the timekeeper and immediately drops it as he sees Qent go for the pin! 1…….2…...3!
Baxter: Here is your winner AND NEW LONE Champion… “Pretty” Fay Qent!
Qent yanks the title out of the referee’s hands as he tries to hand it off to her and the referee immediately backs off. Qent raises it high into the air as she towers over a motionless Terri Thompson with her foot planted firmly on top of her face!
Washington: As rotten as the ending may be, Terri’s got nothing to be ashamed of here. She showed some real heart and determination out here tonight and in the hearts and minds of many out there she’ll still be their champ. She should still be the champion, even though every reign eventually comes to an end she had Qent beat and Qent and Lexi know it!
North: But one has to wonder what state of mind she’s going to be in next month when Royal Plunder, by order of IC3, reunite to take on The Damned for the LONE Tag Team Championship? Will this fleeting teamwork between former friends and partners continue to re-emerge or will their hatred for one another tear them apart for a second time? How is LONE going to look with the insurgent Qent and Lexi now controlling the LONE Championship in their camp? Tune in next month to find out! For my broadcast partner Frank Washington we thank you once again for welcoming us into your homes tonight. Goodnight, everyone!
