*Sorry for a not consistent writing style. The matches in this one are a bit longer, compared to
the first show. I hope to get more consistent with the length of segments and matches with
future shows.

New Year's Revolution 2022
@ the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas
DAY TWO

YOUTUBE PRE-SHOW
Just like yesterday Renee Young leads the viewers through this half hour long Pre-Show,
but this time she has new guests with the hardcore legend Mick Foley and Dolph Ziggler,
who is still pretty sour about losing his tournament match 24 hours ago.

The three of them talk about what happened yesterday and then move on to run down
today's card. Mick is especially happy to talk about the Texas Death Match between
Hangman Page and James Storm, while Ziggler predicts Seth Rollins to become the
new World Heavyweight Champion tonight.

Then we go to the Ring with today's pre-show Match between HollyWOO's Hunks
and The Acclaimed, who do their usual entrance and Max Caster can't refrain from
hitting some verbal jabs about HollyWOO, Ryan Nemeth, Tyler Breeze and even the
World's Greatest Tag Team.

Pretty standard Tag Team match here, with HollyWOO trying to insert herself into
the match by distracting the Referee and her Hunks' opponents. Caster got trapped
in the corner of the Hunks for some time, before the hot tag to Bowens happened.
Anthony cleaned house and it looked like The Acclaimed were on the winning path,
but thanks to the chaos HollyWOO was able to distract Caster and the Referee
long enough, so Breeze could dish out a Low Blow, followed by Nemeth dropping
Bowens with the Hot N Bothered to get the win.

MAIN SHOW
Commentary: Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone and Pat McAfee

Today's video package we get to see is a bit different than yesterdays. A big part of it
is about the Texas Death Match we are going to see later and this time it ends with the
four remaining guys in the World Heavyweight Title Tournament saying the line
"this is my Revolution" in at the same time. In the Arena we again are welcomed by
a slew of fireworks.

Our three Commentators run down what we will see tonight, after they quickly went
over last night's results. The second day of New Year's Revolution starts off with the
first Semi Final of the World Heavyweight Title Tournament.

PAC was able to dominate Rollins for the first couple of minutes, with Seth not getting
anything going in the Match. That lead to PAC getting a chance for the Black Arrow
pretty early on, but Rollins rolled out of the ring, which made PAC perform a Moonsault.
He didn't get all of Rollins though and hurt his leg in the process. That finally put Seth in
the driver's seat, who dished out a lot of damage around and in the Ring for the next
couple of minutes, but PAC didn't stay down. The home stretch saw one last flare up
from the Bastard, who surprised Rollins by countering an attempted Pedigree. PAC then
took a very long time to get to the top turnbuckle, which led to the Black Arrow missing
its target. Seth immediately finished PAC with the Curb Stomp afterwards.

Spoiler: Winner

...by Pinfall:
Seth Rollins
(13:42)

A laughing Seth Rollins celebrates his victory, before we see a Hangman Page promo. He
stands backstage and gets ready for his match later on, while he talks about how he would
have never thought that this rivalry with James Storm over the last year would be the
longest, hardest and toughest war he'd have in his career, when they faced off for the
first time last January. Then he directly addresses Storm and tells him to once again
bring everything he got, because "Tonight... this is going to end. Once and for all."

In a different locker room we see HollyWOO, only covered by a towel draped around
her body. We can hear showers running in the background, while she talks into the
camera about the victory Nemeth and Breeze pulled off during the Pre-Show. She
then states that once again she is fully satisfied by the performance of her Hunks
and it's only a matter of time until their already perfect bodies get the very last thing
that is missing, the BTB Tag Team Titles. HollyWOO then turns towards the showers
and asks loudly "are my boys ready for their celebratory treat?". She then smirks towards
the camera and states that she is definitely ready for hers. In that moment two other
Women, only covered by towels as well, enter the frame from the side and all three
enter the showers. We then only see the towels getting thrown to the floor and hear
some loud "WOO"s, before we go back to the ring.

This Match started with a surprise, because as soon as the bell rang, Edge stormed
towards Gargano for a Spear and almost caught him with it. Johnny stepped out of
the way in the very last second and Edge hit the corner. Gargano immediately rolled
Edge up, but the former World Champ kicked out at 2.5. After that fiery start, the
Match became a true nailbiter, which could've swung either way. The last act started
with a Referee bump, when Gargano, once again, was able to avoid getting speared.
Gargano put Edge in his Garga-No-Escape, but when he realized that the Ref is out,
he let go of the hold and tried to wake the official up. That's when Christian hit the
Ring, coming from the audience. He immediately drops Gargano with the Unprettier
and helps Edge to pin Johnny, before leaving the Ring again. Christian then paces
up and down on the outside, yelling towards the Referee to get up, before he finally
decides to take some water from the Commentary corner to resuscitate the Ref.

It takes a second for the Ref to start the count, but much to Christian's dismay,
Gargano was able to kick out. Afterwards Johnny and Edge exchange blows, while
getting back onto their feet. The pace picks up one last time and we see a couple
of more nearfalls, while Christian goes crazy at ringside. Johnny then is able
to counter another Spear attempt and slaps on the Garga-No-Escape, which
leads Christian to jump up on the apron to distract the Referee. Edge, while
still in the hold, shockingly turns Gargano up and has him basically pinned, but
the Ref is not there. Christian notices the situation and jumps back down, turns
around and puts his arms in the air while stepping away from the Ring. Right
when the Ref turned back around and was about to count the pin, Gargano
was able to shift his weight back and Edge can only hold on for a couple more
seconds before tapping out.

Spoiler: Winner

...by Submission:
Johnny Gargano
(17:26)

Christian can't believe it, when he realizes that Gargano just won and he slides
back into the Ring, but Johnny immediately rolls out to escape a possible attack.
Next up is an Interview with Renee Young who welcomes James Storm to her
side. Storm, just like Hangman earlier, talks about their bloody rivalry over 2021
and he also looks forward to not only ending this feud, but Page as well. He
continues with reminding the viewers about how the two bled over each other
in a cage and how they bled over each other while being bound together by a
bull rope and then states that there is no better place and no better way than
finishing it all in a Texas Death Match right there in Dallas.
Then his focus went to something on the side and Bobby Roode steps into
the frame. Roode immediately raises his hand and only says that even though
the two had their differences and drifted apart over the last four, five years,
he just wanted to wish Storm good luck. James doesn't know what to make
of it and just nods, before Roode turns around and walks away again.

We have Seth Rollins standing by Renee Young, who immediately asks what
Seth thinks about fighting Johnny Gargano in tonight's Tournament final.
Rollins congratulates Gargano for beating the last World Champion, but
he also reminds him that it doesn't matter who Gargano beat and it makes
no difference whatsoever how many people chant and call him "Johnny
Wrestling". At the end of it all, Gargano is not on the same level and he
never has beaten, nor will he ever defeat Seth... Freakin'... Rollins.

There's a long staredown at the start of the Match, which slowly turned into
a back and forth shoving and then into a wild brawl. Neither even tries to
attempt an early victory, since both know it will need a lot today to win this
and so we see some chair shots, a return of the bull rope, the breaking of
a commentary desk and both of them going through a couple of tables at
the same time. At one point James Storm got some beer bottles from
under the Ring and put them in a corner. He tried to spew some of it, after
taking a sip, into Hangman's face, but Page was able to counter and tasted
some of the beer himself, before simply emptying a bottle over Storm.

When they returned to just exchanging some hard hits, while being on
wobbly legs and wearing crimson masks, everyone knew this is about to
go not much further. That's when Hangman emptied a sack of thumbtacks
in the middle of the Ring. He attempted the DeadEye, but James countered
the move and almost put Page into the tacks with a DDT, but that also
failed. After a couple of very close encounters with the tacks, Page again
was almost DDTed into them, before countering and finally getting the
DeadEye into the thumbtacks in. James Storm didn't stay down though,
much to the surprise of Hangman, who now wanted to end this with
the Buckshot Lariat. So he slowly leaves the Ring, while Storm crawls
into a corner. Page then eagerly awaits for Storm to get back on his feet
and when James finally does, Hangman jumps into the Ring and Storm
has a surprise for him. A full bottle of beer explodes over the bloodied
head of Hangman Page, who falls right into the thumbtacks and is
out cold. James only sinks to the ground afterwards and lays one arm
over his opponent for the victory.

Spoiler: Winner

...by Pinfall:
James Storm
(20:36)

Backstage we see Edge pacing back and forth, when Christian joins him and
starts talking trash about "that little punk" Gargano and how they should
hunt him down and give him the beating he deserves right now. Edge just
shakes his head, takes his bag and exits the room, leaving behind a perplexed
Christian.

Next up we hear from Johnny Gargano, who stands besides Renee Young.
She has basically the same question for him, as she had for Rollins earlier,
about them facing each other in the World Title Tournament final and
Gargano says that nothing had changed since yesterday, where he already
said it wouldn't matter who he has to face to achieve his dream to finally
become the World Heavyweight Champion. He adds that Seth Rollins
is one of the most difficult hurdles anyone can have in their way, but come
hell or high water, there's nothing that will keep him from jumping over it.

Then we get to see a pre-recorded video for the upcoming, second Fatal
4-Way Match for an opportunity to become the new BTB Women's World
Champion next Wednesday on the debut episode of BTB Glory, where
every single participant drops a couple of lines.

Candice LeRae starts and says that she wants to make the best out of
this opportunity, while Mercedes Martinez states that she is the thoughest
bitch in the division and the other would need to put her six feet under,
if they want to win. Becky, wearing one of her ridiculous outfits, including
sunglasses, says that even after all the changes, this is still her division
and that after two and a half long years it's finally time for the Women's
World Title to be "around the waist of the one and only Big Time Becks
once again". Shayna just smirks and says that she doesn't care if she has
to break arms, legs or necks, because she had to wait way to long for her
turn and neither of "those bitches" will stop her.

Immediately after the bell rings, Lynch rolls out of the Ring and while trash
talking the other three, she joins the commentary team for some time.
The other three eventually start the Match, with Candice taking over for
the first moments, until she gets thrown out by Baszler, who then stands
before Mercedes. The two exchange some words before starting to brawl.
Becky on the outside sees a chance and delivers the Bexploder Suplex against
Candice, before taking a seat at the commentary desk again. Shayna and
Mercedes go all out in the meantime, with Becky trying to sneak in a pin,
when she sees an opportunity. At one point it's Candice, who suddenly stands
before Becky and hinders her to leave again.

With that all four women are finally completely involved in the Match. Becky's
frustration grows and grows with each time she isn't able to get in the sneaky
win, even when she again kills Candice with a Bexploder Suplex, right after
LeRae was able to Tornado DDT Mercedes. Then comes Shayna's moment, when
she throws Candice out and goes for Becky. Alternating between Forearm
Smashes and Uppercuts, Baszler is able to pretty much pummel Becky to a bloody
pulp and then Shayna starts grinning as if she has already won. Lynch though gets
pissed by the sight of her blood dripping onto the canvas and a surprised Shayna
can't defend against the enraged Becky, who puts Baszler into the Dis-arm-her.
Before she taps though, Mercedes is there to make the save, just to be put in the
hold herself. Candice comes in and breaks it up, but again the pissed off Becky
has no problem with putting LeRae down, who then taps out, since no one is
left to make the save.

Spoiler: Winner

...by Submission:
Becky Lynch
(15:50)

Right after the Match Becky doesn't let the Ref raise her hand, instead she tends
to her bloody nose, when Jordynne Grace shows up. With a smirk on her face and
her sight set on her opponent on Wednesday, she poses her muscles, while Becky
just looks towards the entrance with an angry glance.

We go to an office backstage, where we see CEO Shane McMahon talking to some
workers, when the currently injured Sheamus walks up. Shane asks him about
his injured arm and Sheamus answers that he is finally going to be at one hundred
percent again right in time for this year's Royal Rumble and that he wants to be
a part of the Rumble Match. Shane just pats him on the shoulder and announces
that Sheamus is officially in, before leaving. When Sheamus turns around with a
big smile on his face, W. Morrissey stands right in front of him, who lets us and
Sheamus know that he will also be a part of this year's Rumble Match and that
he can't wait to throw Sheamus and all the other losers over the top rope. The
two engage in an intense staredown before we go back to the Ring for the final
of the World Heavyweight Title Tournament.

We are then back at the Ring, where "Here Comes the Money" plays. Shane McMahon
comes out with the World Heavyweight Championship belt in his hands, which he puts
up on a pedestal besides the Commentary team, before joining them for this Final.

Even with the break both had, you can see each of them already had a grueling match
today and with that, this Match starts out slow. Neither of them wants to make even
the tiniest mistake and possibly give this Match and the World Title out of their hands.
The first, who picked up the pace and took over was Gargano, but Seth didn't stay down
and fought back after a while. Thanks to a reversal, he sent Gargano into the steel steps
outside the Ring, to take over. Rollins handed out a lot of damage over the second act of
the Match, but Gargano kicked out or broke free every single time, which made Seth
get increasingly frustrated. Each time you could see it got harder and harder for him to
regain his composure. That ultimately lead to the very first time Seth tried to win with
an underhanded tactic, but the Referee noticed him using the ropes as leverage during
a pin attempt.

Seth immediately started to argue with the Referee, what Gargano used to get back into
the driver's seat for a while. The final stretch was filled with near falls and Gargano already
had Rollins in his Garga-No-Escape, but after a very long fight, Seth ultimately reached the
ropes with a single finger. Then we got another short period of back and forth action,
before Seth caught Johnny during a Slingshot Spear attempt and he drilled Gargano into
the canvas with a Pedigree. Certain of success and completely spent, Seth only laughed for
three, four seconds, before hooking Gargano's leg. The Referee started to count the Pin,
but Johnny kicks out, much to Seth's disbelief. Seth immediately tried another Pinfall, but
the same result. After a third attempt, while shouting at the Referee, Seth completely loses
it. He grabs the Official by his collar and has a small shouting match with him. Rollins then
leaves the Referee be, when he sees that Gargano is in the right position for the Curb Stomp.
He starts running, but Johnny jumps up and evades a collision with Rollins, who ends up
getting put to the floor with the Hurts Donut. Gargano transitions it directly into the Garga-
No-Escape again and Seth's eyes widen in panic. He tries to scramble for the ropes, but
this time it's just too much and he has no other choice than to slowly tap out, just before
he is about to pass out.

NEW BTB WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION:
Johnny Gargano
(18:29)

After the Match Shane McMahon enters the Ring to present the title belt to the new Champion.
Gargano can't really believe that he just won, while Shane is more than happy to put the belt
around Johnny's waist and raise his arm.​

New Year's Revolution 2022 - REVIEW

NIGHT ONE
- Ali/Kaz seems like a great match to set the tone and I think it is a good unique match that whets the
appetite
- Christian/Gargano being the longest match of the night makes a lot of sense to me and it does come across as a great contest. Well done with this one Looch!
- World Great Tag Team with Charlie Haas - always feels wrong to me. Fuck this Jordan Kid! Not by WGTT! The pairing winning though does feel like the correct choice though.
- Also loved Pac/Ziggler - this event just reads as being really fucking cool already.
- Not the biggest Rollins mark - but no way you could have him lose a first-round match.
- JG with the win - and does seem like 'THE CHOICE' women in the indies (not AEW/WWE) as of late
- Not going to lie - I feel that you missed on a big opportunity of making Roode looking LEGIT as fuck by claiming a win over Edge here - as I am guessing neither of these two are going to win the whole thing.


NIGHT TWO
- wasn't expecting the Hollywoo Hunk to win this contest, but I have got no complaints about it.
- Rollins beating PAC - BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
- Johnny winning though in an epic encounter against Edge though - so you can half forget what I said earlier about Roode vs. Edge
- Storm vs. Page seems like one of those very obvious Cowboy vs. Cowboy matches that I've never thought about before.
- Lynch winning makes a lot of sense to me and leading to a match with JG I think would be pretty damn great.
- I loved Gargano as the first champion!

REALLY GREAT SHOW!
​

 

[Order]

Loooooooch! Time for me to take a look at your BTB which certainly has a unique feel with the roster you have assembled. Anyway, here goes some thoughts on your latest show, New Year's Revolution, my man.

Things I liked

-Gargano does it - Gargano vs. Rollins would have been a banger for sure and this felt like the right night to put the belt on him. He is very like a Daniel Bryan and having to win two matches and overcome odds would have been great to see. I thought the ending of the match was good as well and something about having Seth tap out would have made it even better.

-Becky as number one contender - This was the right call for sure and I hope you get the belt on her asap. Interesting, you have it on Grace, I have to say I haven't seen anything of her so don't know how good she is. Lynch should be the dominant force in the division with challengers coming at her for me.

-Nemeth and Breeze - I love this team! Inspired and maybe Ziggler gets involved at some point as well. Poor Acclaimed losing and the shower segment was very 2003 WWE vibes. PS who is the HollyWOO?

Things to improve on

-James Storm beating Hangman - Never been a fan of James Storm so I am dead against him beating Page here. I just don't see it in Storm at all, but you're obviously a fan. He's never connected with me but maybe you'll book him in a way I care about.

-Match detail - I would have preferred longer form matches for such a big event to build excitement but that is obviously my personal choice. The format as it was worked fine and flowed nicely to read.

Overall, a fun show Looch and I'm intrigued to see who continues to get pushed and who moves down the card. Certainly, some interesting ideas!

 

[Death By Looch]

Spoiler

Thank you for the detailed feedback for the first two shows @Order & @The Lich King (as well as @DamageCTRL once again).

Order, since you asked about who HollyWOO is. Right now, I based her only on a "random woman" png I found, in case I wanted to put her in a graphic. Her appearance/character base might change though, so that's why I haven't described her in detail yet. ... and about Storm/Hangman. Maybe, just maybe it's not about how I'll use Storm's victory, but more about how I'll use Hangman's loss.

Monday, January 3rd, 2022
@ the Fertitta Center in Houston, Texas
Commentary: Tony Schiavone & Pat McAfee

Even before our commentary duo can welcome the viewers at home, we hear Mustafa Ali's theme,
who appears in the arena and angrily stomps towards the Ring. Right before he enters it, he wants
his music cut and after he rolled in, he immediately goes into ranting mode. He states that he has
never been that pissed off in his live, when he came in earlier today and was told that he wasn't
booked tonight, nor is he planned to be a part of the upcoming United States Title Tournament.

Ali:
"First they put me in a damn pre-show match at New Year's Revolution against Kazarian, which I
won, of course and now this? Hey, management, you wanted to start a new era. You wanted to
have a "Revolution", right? I am one of those guys, who were held back for years. I'm the guy, who
should be the face of this supposed Revolution and yet here I am, once again, at the back of the
line, even though I clawed my way into the title picture last year. I am sick and tired of this bull..."

That's when Kazarian's music hits and the veteran promptly shows up at the entrance stage. While
he's making his way to the Ring, he addresses their Match at NYR and the way Ali just brushed it
away like he wasn't worth to fight against. When Kaz finally hits the Ring and stands right in front
of Ali, he adds that if Mustafa wants to be the face of a Revolution, he shouldn't take shortcuts like
grabbing tights or ropes to get a win.

Kazarian:
"...but I still get it, Mustafa. I really do. I know how you feel. I went through the exact same situation
as you. Not once, not twice. Multiple times in pretty much every god damn promotion I worked. My
whole career is filled with brick walls which were put up right in front of me and I got angrier and
angrier every time another on popped up in front of me. Hell, I still get mad about a lot of them
from time to time, but you know what? Every single time that anger turns into motivation. Every
single time I think of all those brick walls, it fuels me to step into this very Ring and show the fans,
the guys in the back, the higher-ups... the whole effing World, what kind of performer they are
watching in that very moment... and that is one of the absolute best Wrestlers, they have ever seen."

Kazarian adds that the audience and the guys in the back, that everyone knows what Mustafa is
capable of and that Ali can and will blow the roof off of Arenas around the world time and time
again, but he also says that Ali has to check his attitude and that he should take a hard, long look
into the mirror and think about if he wants to become the All-Time great he could be, or if he just
wants to be another one of those gifted Talents, who'll take every single shortcut on their way
to the top of the ladder. After that, Kaz drops his mic and is about to leave, when Ali stops him.
They exchange some words and Ali seems to be apologetic, before he extends his hands. Kaz
nods and shakes Ali's hand, but then Mustafa kicks Kazarian in the crown jewels. Ali continues
to attack Kaz, while he yells at him, until some officials finally show up to get Mustafa away from
Kazarian.

After that situation is mostly cleared up, Tony Schiavone and Pat McAfee are finally able to welcome
the audience and run down what happened at NYR and tonight's card, after they quickly talked
about what just happened in the Arena. Then we come to our first match of the night. During their
entrance we see a short promo from the Gunn Club, in which they talk about their loss against
WGTT at NYR just being a fluke and that they promise to kick The Acclaimed's asses tonight.
Bowens and Caster go through their usual spiel and make fun of the Gunns and especially Billy,
who gets pretty agitated about what Caster put together.

The Acclaimed vs. The Gunn Club (w/ Billy Gunn)
The Gunns tried to cheat their way to victory, of course, but it did not work. After a couple of
earlier attempts to getting involved, Billy finally got sent to the back by the Referee, when he
caught him shoving Bowens foot from the rope during a Pin attempt by Colten. The Gunns then
argued with the Referee for some moments, which costed them the Match, when Caster was
able to roll up Colten and Bowens caught Austin, before he could break it up.

Spoiler: Winners

...by Pinfall:
The Acclaimed
(9:11)

Next up is an Interview with Christian, who stands besides Renee Young. Of course Renee asks
him about Edge and what happened the day before at New Year's Revolution. Christian answers
that he's pretty distraught over it and that Edge hasn't answered any of his calls or messages.
He then turns to to the camera and addresses Edge directly. Christian says that he knows he
messed up and that it is a shame that a nobody like Johnny Gargano now calls himself a World
Champion. He apologizes to Edge and talks about how they went through hell and back before
and that he'll do whatever he can to make it up to his brother. Christian then closes by saying that
even though he doesn't know who he has to face, there's no chance in hell he's going to lose tonight
and he's going to dedicate his victory to his best friend and the man who should be the World
Heavyweight Champion right now, Edge.

Before we go back to the in-ring action, we see a video about the upcoming debut episode of
BTB GLORY on Wednesday, where Candice LeRae will face Nicole Savoy, Mickie James will
go one on one with a debuting competitor and of course, Jordynne Grace and Becky Lynch
will fight for the BTB Women's World Championship.

Back at the Ring, W. Morrissey's music starts playing and the big man promptly comes out. On
his way to the Ring he keeps his eyes locked at the two young guys in it. The camera cuts to them
and we learn their names, Dante Leon and Mitch Onyx, who have a chance to make a name for
themselves right now.

W. Morrissey vs. Dante Leon & Mitch Onyx
The seven footer has almost no problems with the lightweights. After the first flurry of pretty
quick offense, Morrissey comes into complete control and he decimates his two opponents
in a decisive fashion. After Chokeslamming both at the same time, Morrissey first kills Onyx
with The BQE, before showing the same move with Leon onto Onyx. He then pins both by
just putting one foot on them.

Spoiler: Winner

...by Pinfall:
W. Morrissey
(4:19)

Right after he got his arms raised by the Referee, Morrissey dishes out more punishment for
Leon and Onyx, while ignoring the protests from the official. He then gets himself a microphone
and says that coming January 30th, it won't matter who will show up in the Rumble, because no
one is able to stop him from doing exactly what he is about to do to these two nobodies. With
that he throws the microphone away, gives Leon and Onyx each another BQE and then throws
them both over the top rope at the same time.

Backstage we see Sheamus watching on a monitor what Morrissey just did in the Ring, when
Renee shows up to ask him about the upcoming Royal Rumble event. Sheamus talks about how
he can't wait to get back into the Ring after his injury and he can't think of a better way to return,
than once again being a dominant force in another Rumble match, just like four years ago, when
he threw nine guys over the top rope to set the record for most eliminations, with the only change
being that he's going to win it this year. That is the moment Dolph Ziggler shows up. Ziggler says
he just heard what Sheamus said and even though that record of his being pretty impressive, at
the end of the day it isn't as impressive as going the distance... going from bell to bell, like he did
in 2015 and he only needed to eliminate one person to win it. Dolph then smiles, pats Sheamus
on the shoulder and says he's glad to see the Irishman getting back into the action, even though
his comeback won't be a ending with accomplishing the final elimination of this year's Rumble.

We then see PAC in a locker room getting ready for his Match, when his opponent Chad Gable
approaches him. They look at each other, when Chad extends a hand and explains, that he's
looking forward to go toe to toe with a prime athlete like PAC and he just wanted to wish him
good luck. PAC looks at Chad's hand, then back into his eyes. With an evil grin on his face, PAC
just says that he's not the one who is going to need luck out there tonight, before turning
around and leaving. Chad just shakes his head, while looking disappointed.

A short video from last night is getting shown. We see a bloodied Hangman Page getting
stitched up by the doctor, while another removes thumbtacks from his back. Page looks pretty
pissed and when he see the camera being pointed at him, he just shoves it away and tells
the camera man to piss off.

Chad Gable vs. PAC
After the bell rings Chad Gable once again offers PAC a handshake and this time, PAC seems
to go for it, just to slap Gable in the very last moment. PAC immediately goes into the offense
and dominates Gable for a couple of minutes. It takes a pretty long time for Gable to really get
himself into the Match, because PAC is always right on point to destroy Chad's comeback tries.
The second half of the Match starts with Chad countering an Irish Whip into the stairs on the
outside and in the aftermath of that the Match is for the first time on the edge. Chad is even
able to lock in the Ankle Lock, but PAC reaches the ropes. Shortly after that Gable goes for
the Chaos Theory, but this time it's PAC who turns the Match around one more time and with
the Black Arrow being successful a moment later he pins Chad for the victory.

Spoiler: Winner

...by Pinfall:
PAC
(12:41)

After the Match PAC stands over Chad, again with an evil smirk on his face. He bends down
and has some words for Gable, before slapping him hard. PAC then leaves with an angry
expression on his face.

We are backstage again and this time we see Mustafa Ali arguing with a couple of officials.
Shane McMahon shows up and asks what the whole fuss is about. Ali then means Shane
should know exactly what this is about and he demands a spot in the United States Title
Tournament, since he was supposed to have his shot already last year. Before Shane can
answer anything, Kazarian comes into the frame and he goes for Ali. The officials and
McMahon himself have trouble to keep the two apart, but when they finally get them
separated, Shane announces that on Friday at BTB Amped, Mustafa will face Kazarian
and the winner will be added to the United States Title Tournament.

Our commentary team quickly goes over what has been confirmed for BTB Amped so
far, including the Main Event of HollyWOO's Hunks facing the World's Greatest Tag
Team. We then see a short promo from Shelton Benjamin and Jason Jordan. Shelton says
that this Tag Team Division doesn't need talentless show-offs like those "Hunks", or
guys like The Acclaimed, who can talk the talk, but lack the technical prowess to walk
the walk and they don't even going to lose a word over the Gunns. Jordan then adds that
they are the top tier Tag Team of BTB Wrestling and after they going to beat the Hunks
on Friday, they deserve to get some real competition.

Back at the Ring we see Christian making his entrance. After he has settled in the Ring,
the suspense about who he's going to face rises, when the fans get to hear a familiar
entrance theme starting. A couple of seconds later MVP comes out in a suit, his stylish
sunglasses on and a cane in his hand. He has a microphone in his hand and when the
audience settles down and the music stops playing, he starts talking.

MVP:
"Christian Cage... I saw what you had to say earlier tonight and I just couldn't shake the
feeling that I heard true fear in your voice. Now I don't know if you simply fear to have
lost your friendship to your much more successful best friend, or if you just already
suspected, that you gonna get your ass handed to you tonight, but I definitely know
that I heard the fear in your voice. Now, I know my fair share of fear. Fifteen months
ago, when the most dominant faction around in the recent past, The Hurt Business,
disbanded. The faction that I build up. The faction that I lead to success.

I experienced fear. I feared that was it. Lashley, who I made into a World Champion
left the company. Shelton went head first into a midlife crisis, thinking he could relive
his oh so glorious past at the side of that charisma vacuum that is Jason Jordan and
let's not even talk about Cedric... I don't even remember that wannabe's last name.
With those three going their ways, I feared the foot print that I left on the history of
this company, was set in stone, even though I always knew it could've been so much
bigger. ...and then, after I sat home for a year, with that fear, that nagging feeling of
"It could've been even bigger", I got the call from Shane.

I got the call to come down to the BTB Wrestling Headquarters and talk about a
contract extension and that was the moment. That was the moment, when my fear
turned into hope, because I knew The Hurt Business isn't done yet, oh no. The Hurt
Business is far from done. In fact, The Hurt Business is back on track and this time
The Hurt Business is going to be more dominant and bigger than it ever was and
I knew exactly, what kind of client I wanted to recruit first. Someone, who does
not know any fear."

MVP turns to the entrance and it gets dark in the Arena. The audience starts to
make some noise, when all of a sudden the Titantron shows a dark hallway of a
broken down building. A dark figure steps out of the shadows into the hallway,
but we can't see its face. Then we hear a voice slowly uttering the words "El
Zero Miedo", which makes the crowd pop hard and the lights go back up and
there he stands, right besides a grinning MVP. Penta El Zero M is here!

Christian Cage vs. Penta El Zero M (/w MVP)
Christian argues with the Referee, while Penta is on his way to the Ring to make
his BTB debut and he doesn't stop with it even when the bell rings. While Penta
immediately wants to go at Cage, his opponent on the other hand seems to not
wanting to fight him and tries to keep the pace as low as possible. After the first
couple of minutes of that spiel, Christian finally gets caught by Penta, who pulls of
a flurry of offense. Christian soon starts to cheat, to get some offense in himself,
but nothing more than a couple of nearfalls come from it.

After a while the two are on the outside where Christian is still in control. He
slams Penta's face onto the commentary desks a couple of times, before he
gets distracted with trash talking MVP. That gives Penta the chance to surprise
Christian and he sends him through the commentary desk. The Referee starts
to count them out and Penta is back in the Ring right away, but then he stops
the Referee from counting Christian out. Instead Penta gets Cage and rolls
him into the Ring to finish him off. Christian though surprises Penta and pulls
off the Unprettier. It takes a while for Christian to go for the pin though and
that was enough time for Penta to kick out, what Christian can't believe.

The Main Event then kicks into the final act, with Christian wanting to put
Penta away with another Unprettier, but Penta counters it and a couple of
moments later we see the two exchanging some blows. Penta goes for a move,
but Christian pulls off a DDT and then wants to go for a Spear. He's in the
corner and waits for Penta to get back up, while doing the usual theatrics
we know from him and Edge. He starts running, but the Spear goes awry and
he hits the ring post instead. Penta sees his chance and he delivers the
Fear Factor. He immediately goes for the pin and wins his debut match.

Spoiler: Winner

...by Pinfall:
Penta El Zero M
(19:14)

After the Match MVP immediately enters the Ring and shoves the Referee
away, when he tries to raise Penta's arm, so he can do it himself. Schiavone
and McAfee then gush over the Match they just saw and they still can't
believe that Penta El Zero M is now part of the BTB Roster.

We then go backstage for the final time tonight, where we see Seth Rollins,
who says that he knows that people think Seth "Freakin" Rollins is a delusional,
self-centered jerk who wouldn't be able to give credits where it is due, but
according to Seth nothing could be further from the truth. He then, seemingly
sincerely, congratulates Johnny Gargano for winning the World Heavyweight
Championship last night, but also adds that "Seth "Freakin" Rollins isn't done
with "Johnny Wrestling" yet." Seth then says that he won't stop until that
Title Belt is back on his shoulders and his next chance to get it back will be
on the table very soon, after all the Rumble is right in front of them and if
there is one former Winner, who has the right mindset and is in the right
form to do it once more, then it is the one and only Seth... Freakin... Rollins...

Back at the Ring Johnny Gargano's music starts playing and the crowd goes
wild. Johnny soon enough shows up, with a big smile on his face and the big
gold title belt draped over his shoulder. He's celebrating with the fans along
the ramp as well as those in the front rows around the Ring, before he enters
it. Johnny has a microphone in his hand, but the crowd doesn't let him speak
for some minutes, first with "Johnny Wrestling" chants, then changing into
"You deserve it" chants. When the fans finally quiet down, Johnny starts
with a waterfall of thanks towards a lot of guys in the back, his wife Candice
and of course the fans. He then holds up the World Heavyweight Championship
belt and explains that this, besides his wife of course, means the world to him.
Gargano continues to say that he feels like he still hasn't fully realized that he
finally reached that goal he was aiming for, for so many years, but he does know
one thing for sure. "Every single minute I spent in this Ring. Every single tear
I shed, every single drop of sweat or blood I lost... every single injury I had to
overcome. It all was worth it and there is nothing in this world that can be done
to erase the fact that Johnny Wrestling is a World Heavyweight Champion."

The audience again starts to rain chants onto Johnny Gargano, who is visibly
moved by all of that. After a while, he continues to talk and says that even with
him not completely having realizing it yet, he does have to look at the future and
he always said to himself that if he's holding a title, he's going to defend that
title as often as he possibly can and with the Royal Rumble coming up, he
couldn't think of a better event to do exactly that. With that Johnny lays down
a challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble.
"I don't care if it's a rookie, a former World Champion or a Hall of Famer,
the first who accepts, will get the shot at this." With that Gargano holds
up the Belt and after a couple of seconds a loud "I hear voices in my head"
starts playing. The crowd goes wild and Schiavone and McAfee can't believe,
what they are seeing, when Randy Orton walks into the Arena for the first
time in two years. Gargano also looks absolutely shocked. Orton scans the
crowd with his eyes from the entrance stage, before he poses and pyros
go off. He then slowly walks towards the Ring, without taking the eyes off
Gargano. When he finally gets in the Ring, he and Gargano engage in an
intense staredown and Orton just raises a microphone to his mouth to
say "I accept". Johnny nods and starts smiling, while holding up the Title
Belt. With the two staring at each other Turmoil goes off the air.​

@ the Hertz Arena in Estero, Florida
Commentary: Jim Ross & Beth Phoenix

The very first episode of BTB GLORY opens with our commentary team of Jim Ross and Beth Phoenix going over
tonight's card and them talking about the importance of BTB Wrestling being the first of the main stream promotions
to present a weekly show featuring only female competitors. They spend a bit more time hyping the Main Event, the
BTB Women's World Title match between Becky Lynch and Jordynne Grace, while we get to see how both of them
arrive at the Arena. We see Grace getting a bag out of a car, while Lynch walks down a corridor in one of her usual
extra flamboyant outfits. Beth and JR then predict who will win and while JR puts his money on Becky, Beth thinks
Jordynne will have the upper hand, adding that if there are two women in the business today, she'd consider to make
a return to the ring for to face them, then it's Grace and Lynch.

After that the first Match in BTB GLORY history is about to go down. Mickie James makes her entrance, accompanied
by a lot of positive noise from the crowd. While she high fives fans on her way to the ring, a short promo video plays, in
which Mickie talks about how she is excited to open BTB GLORY and that she's looking forward to face and beat
another opponent, who tries to make a name for herself by debuting against a legend of the business. In the Ring Mickie
poses and eagerly awaits who she'll face in a moment. It takes a while and the crowd is starting to getting restless when
a song starts playing and after a couple of seconds the words "The Professor of Pro Wrestling" appear on the Titantron.
The crowd in Estero knows what that means and they give a good pop, which gets even louder, when Serena Deeb
finally appears on the entrance stage.

Mickie James vs. Serena Deeb
Right after the bell rings, Mickie and Serena step up and start talking smack to each other, before they lock up for the
first time. Mickie brings her opponent to the corner, where they release the hold slowly, but fairly. A second lock up
ends with Serena bringing Mickie to the corner and we see another fair break, before Serena immediately kicks Mickie's
knee, when they go into a third lock up. The pace picks up and both getting some offense in, with Mickie getting the first
big point due to a snug DDT. She goes for the Pin, but Deeb kicks out after two. Afterwards James is in the driver's seat
and alternates between moves and pin attempts, but it isn't enough to win the Match. Mickie goes for the finish at one
point, but the Mick Kick gets blocked by Serena, who Chop Blocks James' right away and with that the tables turn.

Deeb starts working over Mickie's legs in a very meticulously fashion. She not only uses the apron and guard rail to
slam Mickie's knee onto them, but also puts on a Figure Four around the ring post to further damage her opponents
legs. Right before she gets disqualified, she let's go of the hold and returns to the Ring, where Mickie holds her knee
in pain. The Referee checks if Mickie wants to continue, but Serena goes for the Serenity Lock. James can escape the
situation and she starts a fiery comeback, even though she has problems to put weight on her damaged leg. Serena
goes for an attack in the corner, but Mickie gets her leg up just in time and then tries another Mick Kick. Once again it
does not connect though. Instead Serena caught Mickie's leg and forces her to the ground, where she pounds that
knee into the canvas a couple of times and puts the Serenity Lock on. Mickie can't fight against it for very long and
has to tap out. Deeb keeps the hold on for while, even after the bell rang, but then decides to let go to celebrate.

Spoiler: Winner

...by Submission:
Serena Deeb
(12:14)

At the commentary desk Jim Ross and Beth Phoenix both seem very impressed with what Wrestling veteran Serena
Deeb put on the table tonight and they talk about what a great addition she is for the BTB GLORY roster, while
they hope that the Mickie's damaged knee won't put her on the injury list. Ring Announcer JoJo Offerman then
enters the Ring, while Mickie is getting help on the outside. JoJo talks about what an impressive debut Serena just had
and then asks her what the BTB GLORY roster and the fans should expect from her in the future. Deeb immediately
takes the microphone out of JoJo's hand and turns to the hard cam.

Serena Deeb:
"I hope every single one of you back there paid close attention to what just happened out here, because this is exactly
what your future holds. The Professor of Professional Wrestling has arrived. Muscles will be torn. Ligaments will be
ripped apart. Bones will be broken. If you stand between me and my goals, I will stretch the ever-living sh*t out of
each and every single part of your body. Look into my eyes. These are the eyes of a woman, who knows what true and
honest excruciating pain feels like and this woman also knows exactly how to inflict this kind of pain to her enemies.
Believe me... you don't want to experience what this woman can do to you."

With that Serena drops the mic and we go backstage , where Nicole Savoy laces up her boots. Her opponent tonight,
Candice LeRae, shows up which makes her stand up. Candice smiles though and says that she just came to wish Nicole
good luck. With that she extends her hand, but Nicole just looks at the hand and then shoves it away. Savoy states that
she "sure as shit" does not need any luck to beat Candice tonight. She then leaves and bumps into Candice's shoulder.
LeRae just looks after Nicole and says to herself "We'll see about that".

A video plays next and we see a dimly lit gym. We can see a woman wearing a hoodie working out. The camera alternates
between close-ups of her taped fists and legs, while she's punching and kicking a sandbag or the back of her head while
she jumps rope and shots from further away. While this is going on, we only hear the sounds of her working out and a
slight echo, due to it being filmed in an otherwise empty gym. The camera cuts get faster and faster and the same goes
for the way the woman moves during her training. A flurry of punches and kicks rain onto the training equipment and
she finishes it with one last big punch. We see a close-up of her eyes for a split second and the screen goes black. Five
constantly changing white, slim letters appear on screen. Without them stopping, the word "soon" fades in below them
and with that the video ends.

Candice LeRae vs. Nicole Savoy
After the bell rings, Candice once again offers Nicole a handshake, but Savoy just like earlier shoves the extended hand
away. They start arguing until Nicole flat out slaps Candice and before LeRae even realizes what just happened, Savoy
floors her with a German Suplex. Nicole continues the rapid assault with a multitude of different Suplexes and JR on
commentary says that she isn't called the "Queen of Suplexes" for nothing. Between the throws Savoy goes for Pinfalls,
but Candice keeps kicking out and Nicole decides to send LeRae into the ropes. That turned out to be a bad idea though,
because after ducking under a Lariat, LeRae puts Savoy into an Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissor Armbar out of nowhere. Savoy's
eyes immediately widen and Candice shows that she has still a lot left in her tank, but Nicole shows a great amount of
ring awareness as she just has to take two steps back to get a rope break. After the hold is released, Candice puts Savoy
to the mat with a Neckbreaker and Savoy rolls to the outside. LeRae sees a chance and speeds up for a Suicide Dive,
which hits Nicole perfectly.

Candice punishes Nicole on the outside with the help of the Ring and guard rails, before delivering a Suplex. She shortly
breaks up the Referees count, but when she returns to the outside, Savoy evades an attack and floors LeRae with another
German Suplex. When Candice sits up against the steel steps, Savoy rushes towards her and hits LeRae right on with her
boot. Now it's Nicole, who breaks the count from the Ref, just to return to the outside, where she takes Candice towards
the commentary desk. She smacks LeRae's face into the desk a couple of times and sends her down with a Belly-to-Belly
afterwards. Savoy then pulls Candice up and she wants to throw her into the Ring, but LeRae pushes her into the Ringpost
instead. They trade a couple of punches then, before Savoy goes for a Lariat, but LeRae ducks under it and delivers a hard
Discus Elbow Smash, which hits Savoy right on the nose and she only doesn't go down, because of the guard rails. Candice
takes two step back and sends Savoy right over the rails with a Running Big Boot. LeRae herself has to take a break now,
due to all the damage she received so far and when she realizes, that the Referee just counted the eight, she uses all the
energy she has left to make it into the Ring in time. Savoy though, only makes it just back over the guard rails, when the
Referee signals for the bell to ring.

Spoiler: Winner

...by Count-Out:
Candice LeRae
(11:01)

Nicole Savoy sits against the guard rail, with her hands above her head and which she shakes in disbelief, while Candice
gets her arms raised in the Ring. We then go backstage to JoJo for an interview and she talks about the Main Event
we will witness tonight, before she welcomes Jordynne Grace. Obviously JoJo asks her about the upcoming Title Match
and Jordynne confidently predicts that she will win. She adds that this Title is the one that she couldn't get a hold on
yet, but this will change tonight. Grace continues to talk about her and Lynch's social media back and forth, that had
been going on since NYR.

Jordynne Grace:
"Becky, you said you have a big surprise for me tonight? Quite frankly the biggest surprise to me would be if you'd actually
beat me, after basically winning NOTHING for the last two years. I do respect what you can do in that ring, Becky, but let's
be honest. You've been prancing around in ridiculous outfits for over 24 months now, calling yourself "Big Time Becks"
and the biggest accomplishment you've achieved since 2019 is winning that Fatal 4-Way match at New Year's Revolution
to face me for the Title. There is simply no chance in hell, that tonight's outcome is going to be anything different from me
standing tall with the BTB Women's World Title draped over my biggest asset."

Grace then smirks and shows her impressive biceps, before she leaves. JoJo then wants to end the segment, but from
the other side a pissed off Nicole Savoy shows up and snatches the microphone out of JoJo's hand. Nicole angrily leers
at JoJo until she leaves. Then she turns to the camera to let her anger out.

Nicole Savoy:
"You got lucky, Candice. I had your damn number from the very moment the bell rang and you know it. As far as I'm
concerned, you didn't win shit tonight. You merely escaped, you little pixie bitch. Next time... and you better believe
there will be a next time... I'll make sure something like this won't happen again and if it is the last thing I will do."

Savoy throws the microphone to the ground and tells the camera man to get the camera out of her face, which he does.
We then see a hype package for the upcoming Amped show on Friday, while JR and Beth go over all the matches that
have been confirmed for that show. Before the Main Event we go backstage one more time and see Mercedes Martinez
being on her phone, when Nikki Cross approaches her from the side. Nikki just has a big, wide smile on her face and
she stares at Mercedes, who gets visibly irritated by it. Martinez asks Cross what she wants, but doesn't get an answer.
Annoyed by that, Mercedes just shakes her head and walks away, continuing her phone call, while Cross just watches
her leave and quietly utters the words "See you next week".

It's time for the Main Event and first on her way to the Ring is Jordynne Grace, who walks down the aisle with focus
and confidence. She poses in two of the Ring corners, when Becky Lynch's music hits. Lynch appears on the entrance
stage in one of her flamboyant outfits and pulls a microphone out. She tells the production crew to cut her music
and while on her way to the Ring, she starts talking towards Jordynne.

Becky Lynch:
"I heard what you said earlier and you weren't wrong, Jordynne. For over two long years, I walked around in these
outfits, called myself Big Time Becks and what good did it for me? Nothing. No big wins. No gold around this
waist. Over twenty four months of wasted time, when these shoulders of mine should've been the ones to carry this
division through those hard times and it hit me last Sunday. When I tasted my very own blood and with the debut
of this show... our show... in my very sight, it suddenly was as clear as the day for me. I'm the one, who's going to
carry this show, but BTB Glory doesn't need Big Time Becks, oh no... It is time for me to do right by everyone back
there and to do right by every single fan and there's only one way this can happen."

Standing right in front of the Ring, Becky throws her sunglasses to the side and she gets rid of her coat, revealing
a "The Man" shirt under it. The fans go nuts for that sight, while Becky slides into the Ring and without any kind
of big Title Match introduction, the bell gets rung, because Lynch and Grace immediately start to exchange blows.

BTB Women's World Championship
Jordynne Grace vs. Becky Lynch
This wild brawl continues for a couple of minutes, before it turns into a hard-hitting chopping competition. Both
alternate between Chops and Forearms after a while, before Grace looks like she gets the better of Lynch, but
Becky can duck under a wound up finishing blow from Jordynne and she goes for the Manhandle Slam. Grace
can block that one though and instead tries to end the Match early herself with her Grace Driver, but this time
Becky can escape the move and both get a second to breathe. The fans in the Arena let them know how much
they appreciated this wild and fast beginning. Lynch and Grace start to circle around each other in the Ring and
it looks like we are going to see the first Lock Up of this Main Event, but instead their trash talking intensifies
and they get in each other's face. The two again start to chop each other, but after only a few exchanges Grace
flat out slaps Becky, who immediately charges Jordynne afterwards and both tumble out of the Ring.

They need a moment to get back on their feet and Becky sends Jordynne soon into the Steel Steps. After a couple
more of attacks Lynch climbs onto the Apron and jumps towards Grace, who surprises Becky by catching her
right into a Bear Hug. Jordynne squeezes the hell out of Becky and sends her into the Apron and Ringpost
a couple of times, without letting go. She ends this barrage of offense with a Belly-to-Belly onto the lower part
of the Steel Steps, which had been exposed earlier when Grace herself went into them. Back in the Ring Grace
sees her chance and she systematically works over Becky's back. She throws her full weight on it and uses the
Ring Corner to drive her shoulder into Becky's back multiple times. Jordynne, who is in complete control for
a while goes for Pinfalls here and there, but Lynch doesn't stay down. After the fourth pin attempt, Becky can
avoid another running attack in the Corner and she gets some offense in, but this hope spot ends when Lynch
jumps on Jordynne for a Huracánrana and doesn't get the full rotation, due to Grace using her strength. Instead,
Jordynne turns the situation into a Boston Crab in the middle of the Ring and Becky has to fight through the
immense pain, to stay in the Match. She claws and fights her way towards the ropes, inch by inch and after
what felt like an eternity, she almost made it, just for Jordynne to pull her back into the middle of the Ring.

Becky, against all odds, fights through another excruciating 90 seconds in the hold, until she finally reaches
the Ropes, mostly because Grace couldn't keep the pressure up anymore. Jordynne still has the Match in her
hand though and she signals to end it. She picks Lynch up for the Fall From Grace and is about to hit it, but
Becky is able to clinch to the ropes. Jordynne tries once more, but it's no use and she decides to throw Lynch
over the Top Rope instead. Becky lands on the Apron and counters a running attack from Grace with her
shoulder into Jordynne's stomach. She then immediately jumps through the ropes into the Ring and pulls
off the Bexploder Suplex. It takes her a couple of seconds to capitalize though and Grace therefore is able
to kick out last second. Now Becky drives the Match and with the assist of some European Uppercuts she
nails Grace with a Hammerlock DDT, which doesn't keep her down either. Back on their feet, Lynch goes
for the end stretch and she prepares the Manhandle Slam, but when she tries to lift Grace, her back gives
out. Becky tries once more, but Jordynne counters, sends Becky into the Ropes and when she comes back,
she's again in the Bear Hug. Becky reacts in an instant with two Headbutts, which rock Grace, but she does
not let go. Instead she charges into the Corner, without breaking the hold and that seemed to do the trick.

In the middle of the Ring Becky tries to stay alive, but her power is slowly fading away. A couple of moments
later it looks like she passed out, but right before the Referee is about to call it, Lynch wakes up and again
Headbutts Jordynne. A second one follows and a third one breaks the hold. When Becky gets back to the
ground, she puts Jordynne in an Inside Cradle. One, two and Grace shifts her weight for a pin attempt of
her own. Again it's a one, two and Becky shifts her weight for another pin attempt, but it's not successful.
Suddenly both are back on their feet and Grace avoids an attack by Becky, who finds herself in another
attempted Fall From Grace, but Jordynne can't quite keep the grasp on one of Becky's feet. Lynch can
escape and instead rolls Grace up. Another two-count is the result of this and we enter the final stretch
with one last exchange of Uppercuts and Forearm Smashes from the two exhausted competitors. One
Uppercut from Grace doesn't hit its target and Becky gets a hold of Jordynne's Arm. She tries to get in
position for the Dis-Arm-Her, but Grace powers out and gets herself ready for a Grace Driver, which gets
countered once more and Becky connects with the Manhandle Slam. It takes her a second to put her arm
over Jordynne and it's a one, two and three. Grace gets her shoulder up, but it's a millisecond too late.

BTB Women's World Champion:
Becky Lynch
(19:42)

It takes a while for Becky to get up and realize that she just became the new Women's World Champion.
After the Referee raises her arm, while she holds the Belt in her hands, Lynch sinks down to her knees and
she just looks at the Title. After a moment she slowly gets up and climbs the Ring Corners to thank the fans,
before she and Jordynne, who sits in one of the corners, lock eyes again. Becky says some words to her and
extends her hand. Grace takes a second, before she accepts Becky's offer, who helps her get back up. The
two shake hands and Grace raises Becky's arm once more. In that moment, three people enter the Ring
behind the two. Two of them go for Jordynne, while the third one attacks Becky with a chair. The ambush
takes a couple of seconds and when Grace and Lynch both lie motionless on the canvas, the three attackers
stand over them and we see Sonya Deville on the left, Marina Shafir on the right and Shayna Baszler in the
middle, who picks up the Women's World Title and holds it up in the air with an evil grin on her face.​
