October 26th 2019 | Brooklyn, New York | Barclays Center
A SPECIAL WWE signature airs, featuring all of the women, past and present, with a little bit of future mixed in…
THEN

AND FOREVER HERE TO STAY.
“Once… was NEVER enough. And it won’t ever be again. Because THIS… is a REVOLUTION!”
AND NOW…
PRESENTING
WWE REVOLUTION!!
~ PYRO!!! ~
~ PYRO!!! ~

~ PYRO!!! ~
The camera took a trip around the packed house in Brooklyn! Barclays Center went up for the early festivities of the show.
Michael Cole and AJ Lee then welcomed us to the historic show. The duo hyped up a host of big matches that were on the docket tonight. Three championships are on the line. Big attraction matches. And for the first time ever –
WOMEN’S WAR GAMES! Much of the conversation about War Games had been dramatic but things seemed settled last night. Or as settled as humanly possible! But it sure seemed like
Sasha Banks was finally on the same page as
The Four Horsewomen. And earlier today,
the quartet arrived and seemed to display plenty of unity. They were seen arriving in the same ride at the same time and to the same place. That’s as close as they’ve been in weeks!
The Sisters of Doom also showed unity on their way into the building. Though they’ve suffered tough losses, they’ve been on the same page THROUGHOUT this entire ordeal. Which, as shown by how much hostility the other side showed,
had to be an advantage at this point. There was no reported drama or hullaballoo on their end at all. Everyone knew their goal, everyone was on the same time, and everyone wanted to kick The Four Horsewomen’s ass. In their eyes, that’s all that they needed to succeed.
That’s the main event, though. First, it was time to make history.
Plenty of presentation to discuss!
Toni Storm debuted a new theme song on her way to the ring. She got the big guns playing her to the ring –
Motley Crue’s “Looks That Kill” brought her to the ring.
Elsewhere,
Candice LeRae looked like Dark Phoenix and had that whole cosplay going on.
Liv Morgan, meanwhile, rocked gear that was Brooklyn Nets inspired!
Asuka just looked like…
Asuka, which was more than enough for the badass former two-time Smackdown Women’s Champion.
FATAL FOUR-WAY LADDER MATCH to determine the FIRST-EVER WOMEN’S INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION
Asuka vs. Candice LeRae vs. Liv Morgan vs. Toni Storm
There was plenty to like from the energy of this match. And the fearlessness of the competitors as well. Ladders were introduced early on and punishment was dished out early. Candice ate a lot of ladder in the early goings but
hit Liv Morgan hard with an Alabama Slam straight onto the ladder rungs! Candice would later be hit with a
big dropkick by Asuka that sent the ladder into her! So she felt the wrath of the steel too. Candice wasn’t finished with Asuka though. A few moments after that,
she climbed up, hammered The Empress, and hit her with a Russian Leg Sweep off the ladder! Candice would then fight with Toni Storm, her arch nemesis at this point. LeRae would
once again feel the incursion of Storm – she grabbed LeRae and hit her with a Fisherman’s Plex on the Ladder!!
Toni ascended but Liv Morgan curbed her momentum. But Toni grabbed hold of Liv soon after and
delivered an Electric Chair Drop off the ladder on her! Things stayed chaotic here as
Candice and Asuka fouht on the ladder. Asuka would get Candice woozy, climb off, grabbed Candice and
POWERBOMED HER off the ladder and ONTO ANOTHER ONE!!!
After some setups of ladders, things got even wilder. Candice had Asuka outside after a ladder was set up, vaulted up on the ropes.
Liv Morgan took this opportunity to make like Shelton Benjamin, running up the ladder, and she FLEW and crashed down on LeRae! Not to be outdone,
but Toni Storm tried her best to! Storm moments later set up a ladder near the ropes. She climbed up and
then SOARED! A CROSS BODY on Asuka from the top of the ladder!! The two daredevils eventually reconvened on the ladder. They came up to the top here and battled. Liv won the advantage here and went for broke –
SHE HIT OBLIVION ON TONI OFF THE LADDER!! Down the two of them went as they risked life and limb for the new championship!!
Liv’s pursuit of the IC Championship was snuffed out by Candice eventually though. She’d incapacitate Liv after tipping the ladder over after she tried to retrieve the championship. Candice then fought with Asuka again. The two had been punching back and forth. LeRae then won the battle and then went a step further. She propped Asuka up on her shoulders, walked over by a setup ladder across a pair of chairs.
AND DELIVERED THE RAZOR’S EDGE TO ASUKA ON THE LADDER!!
Asuka was incapacitated. Liv Morgan was incapacitated. Nobody seemed to be in Candice’s path. Until Toni Storm reemerged from the rubble of course. LeRae saw her as she was about to grab the title.
LeRae reached up for the title but then saw Toni gaining steam! Storm was up to the third rung from the top and LeRae then punched her down! Storm threw a punch back at her and got her, but LeRae came back with a forearm! Storm held on as LeRae went for the championship again. Storm then got in another good shot! She got up to the next rung and delivered another blow to LeRae! Candice came back with a shot of her own too! LeRae threw ANOTHER hard right at Toni, and Toni answered with another! And the two just started to punch each other one hard shot after the other!! They both connected HARD with shots to the jaw, nearly knocking the other off the ladder! Storm then grabbed Candice but Candice raked her eyes!! LeRae then reached up,
GRABBED THE TITLE! But Storm suffed her with a punch to the chest! Storm then reached up and
GRABBED THE TITLE, but couldn’t quite get it! LeRae then scored with a HUGE forearm! Toni NEARLY fell back and Candice tried to punch her hand off the top rung! But Toni ducked out of the way and then vaulted herself up! And the top of her head
SMOKED Candice in the jaw!!
LeRae was then put on DREAM STREET! Toni then grabbed her by the head and BANG!!
HEADBUTT TO LERAE!! Who—
SUDDENLY FELL BACK AS HER EYES SHUT!!
OH MY GOD!!!
INCOMING!!!
LERAE CRASHED DOWN THROUGH THE LADDER!!!
HO-LY!!!
Toni’s mouth WENT AGAPE! She couldn’t believe what just happened! She couldn’t believe what she’s just did!! She looked down, ASTONISHED, while LeRae lied in the wreckage of the ladder,
SPLIT IN HALF!!
Toni then looked up and her mouth stays agape!
The Women’s Intercontinental Championship was WITHIN GRASP!!
Toni stepped up to the top!!
NO ONE else around!! She reached up AND
UNHOOKED THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
THE RACE TO THE TOP IS OVER!!!!
WINNER: Toni Storm at 21:44.
~ TONI STORM IS THE FIRST-EVER WOMEN’S INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION! ~
UNBELIEVABLE!!! It is Toni Storm who makes history!
She is the FIRST-EVER Women’s Intercontinental Champion!! Toni holds the title up in sheer amazement, celebration, and elation over her head. She looks like a woman who just went through nearly
22 minutes of action. And boy did she ever! But Storm is at the top of the ladder, she won the race, and she is a history-maker!!
Following the replays, we come back to Storm still on top of the ladder. She holds the newly won championship near to her. She then climbs down a little and then leans back as she sits down on the penultimate rung up near the top!
And she holds the title over her head again as a confetti bath pours down! And FIREWORKS start going off on stage! We are in no shortage of celebratory moves here, ladies and gentlemen! Toni Storm met the moment tonight… again! For the second consecutive year, Storm celebrates a huge win at the all-women’s event.

WRESTLEMANIA 36 – A 2-NIGHT SPECTACULAR
April 4 & 5 2020 | Tampa, Florida | Raymond James Stadium
We go to ringside.
Alicia Taylor
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome a special guest of honor tonight at WWE REvolution. She is one of the most influential women’s vocalists in history. She has been inducted into the Hollywood and Songwriters Hall of Fame. An advocate for the LGBT community. As well as one o the most recognizable faces in wrestling history with the Rock and Wrestling Connection! Ladies and gentlemen, one of BROOKLYN’s own, CYNDI LAUPER!!
Hell yeah! We see the one and only Cyndi Lauper at ringside! A tremendous applause bursts out of the Barclays Center. Lauper waves at everyone from her seat and smiles. Then…
“WELCOME TO THE QUEENDOM”
Oh?! Well this is surprising! Here comes Stephanie McMahon! Stephanie is given a round of applause here as she has a microphone in hand.
STEPHANIE MCMAHON
Ladies and gentlemen, pardon the interruption, let’s give another hand to one of your own here in New York City, the one, the only, the LEGENDARY Cyndi Lauper!
Another round of cheers!
Stephanie McMahon
Cyndi, it is an honor and a privilege to have you as a guest of honor here tonight at WWE REvolution. It is arguable that if it was not for you and the Rock and Wrestling Connection, without your presence at WrestleMania 1, that we would not be here today and that WWE would not be the leader in this industry.
More cheers! Cyndi nods her head, taken aback here it seems.
Stephanie McMahon
Cyndi on behalf of myself, my husband, the WWE, and the WWE Universe, there is truly only one thing to say. Thank you.
Well isn’t this nice! There’s then a few photo clips shown of Cyndi at Mania I!
Stephanie McMahon
And Cyndi. Cyndi I am not just out here just to give you the respect and the praise that you’ve earned. I’m here to deliver a special announcement to you.
Oh??
Stephanie McMahon
Cyndi, on behalf of all of us at WWE. All of the WWE Universe, past, present, and future. The talent, past, present, and future. It is my honor to inform you that this April in Tampa, Florida, you will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame!
Wow!!! Talk about an announcement! Long overdue as well!! Cyndi is taken quite aback here as she receives a huge pop and applause from the crowd.
A video package then plays, highlighting the amazing rock and wrestling career of Lauper.
Conveniently, as we return, the ring is starting to fill up! Lauper is now standing next to the
ROCK ‘N WRESTLING CUP, which will be presented to the winner of the battle royal.
We are in the midst of the entrance for
MANDY ROSE and
SONYA DEVILLE who are seen wearing matching outfits tonight. How cute. After they finish up, a new song hits the waves…
“TAKING IT ALL”
As some catchy and hard beats hit the PA system, a confident and exuberant woman walked out from the back through some smoke. The woman was fair-skinned with black hair with brown and blonde streaked in it, wearing white and blue gear, icy-looking at that.
The titantron then introduced us: It was
JAMIE HAYTER!
“LOVEFURYPASSIONENERGY”
HELLO!! I guess we know the first surprise entrant! And out comes
LITA! She earns a magnificent reaction from the Brooklyn crowd.
“EYE OF THE HURRICANE”
And our second! It’s
MIGHTY MOLLY! Molly receives a very nice hand from the crowd as she races down to the ring!
“ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID”
And the third and final surprise?
VICTORIA! Victoria earns a BIG pop from the audience as she’s now returned twice in the New York area in the last two months!
THE FIRST-EVER ROCK ‘N WRESTLING CUP BATTLE ROYAL
In Alphabetical Order:
Aliyah, Carmella, Dakota Kai, Emma, Jamie Hayter, Jinny, Kayden Carter,
Lita, Mandy Rose, Maria Kanellis, Mia Yim, Mighty Molly, Nikki Cross, Niven,
Rhea Ripley, Shotzi Blackheart, Sonya Deville, Victoria, Xia Li, and Zelina Vega
For the betterment of everybody involved, we are going to cycle ahead just a bit!
Aliyah by Niven at 00:23.
Jinny by Niven at 00:45.
Katrina Cortez by Jamie Hayter at 00:58.
Kayden Carter by Jamie Hayter at 1:22.
Maria Kanellis by Lita at 2:07.
Xia Li by Niven at 2:25.
Zelina Vega by Jamie Hayter at 2:42.
Sonya Deville by Mighty Molly and Nikki Cross at 3:15.

Mia Yim by Dakota Kai at 4:15.

Victoria by Jamie Hayter at 6:26.
Nikki Cross by Niven at 6:36.
AND THEN THERE WERE SIX…
DAKOTA KAI… EMMA… JAMIE HAYTER…
LITA… NIVEN… RHEA RIPLEY…
And everybody to this point has already gathered at least one elimination. Jamie Hayter has plowed through the competition with five eliminations to her name. Niven ALSO had five herself! So the two most dominant women in the match so far were in the final six and accounted for FOUR of the last FIVE eliminations.
Emma was looking to latch onto her former New Frontier mate here. She made it clear that she was siding with her. While Rhea and Dakota formed an alliance out of respect, while Niven waited in her corner and while the legendary Lita stood in hers, getting ALL the fan support here, Hayter looked at the scene. She saw her options. So she chose one.
She grabbed Emma from behind
AND THEN TOSSED HER OUT OF THE RING!!!
WOW!!!
ELIMINATED: Emma by Jamie Hayter at 7:10.
Hayter’s SIXTH elimination sees her completely dissolve a bond! Emma looked on with shock in her eyes here but Hayter seemed intent on making this her night! And with everyone seeing what she’d do to a friend, everyone else just stared right at her! Hayter then began to pick a fight with the biggest one on the block! She ran up on Rhea!! Hayter then took on Ripley and Dakota and Niven and Lita meanwhile battled on the other side! While that happened, Rhea shoved Jamie down and then yelled at her. Hayter got up and shoved her! Hayter got in Rhea’s face. Ripley shouted at her to get her head in the right place. She told Dakota the same thing and stared over at the fight that Lita was having with Niven. Niven shoved Lita away and the trio of newcomers stared at the mammoth Niven!
Niven realized what was going on quickly. She relished the thought and called the trio on! Rhea looked over at Lita, who went over to the group. Ripley nodded at Lita and the Hall of Famer nodded right back! And there they went after Niven!! The quartet tried to take Niven out. Niven initially refused to be moved however! She shoved them all away! She then took on each of them but then they got the numbers game going again! Jamie then ran up and CLOBBERED Niven with a huge Spinning Lariat!
It rocked Niven who hit the ropes and came back into a SCORPION KICK by Dakota Kai! That sent her wobbling also and then Rhea grabbed Niven and pushed her up against the ropes. Kai then came around and
BANG! RUNNING BOOT TO THE FACE! Niven then stumbled in as Rhea grabbed her. RIPTIDE TO NIVEN!! Lita then grinned as Rhea picked Niven up and served her to the Hall of Famer. TWIST OF FATE TO NIVEN!!
The quartet then picked Niven up, ran her over… AND OUT OF THE RING!!
ELIMINATED: Niven by Dakota Kai, Jamie Hayter, Lita, and Rhea Ripley at 8:40.
Jamie Hayter then goes and picks Lita off and away we go there! Lita and Jamie fight while Rhea and Dakota start blasting off on each other. Dakota withstood the onslaught from Rhea as she then sent her over top! But Dakota stayed aboard! Rhea then ran forward but Dakota sent her boot up!
SCORPION KICK to Rhea! Kai then quickly sprang up and wrapped her boots around Rhea’s neck and pulled her forward! And over!
AND-NO! Not quite! Rhea’s holding on for dear life!! So Dakota lets go of the top rope and takes a huge risk and pulls her with her weight forward!
OVER Rhea goes there!! And Dakota latches onto the ropes with her boots!! As Rhea FALLS DOWN!!
ELIMINATED: Rhea Ripley by Dakota Kai at 9:30.
WOW!! Dakota didn’t get two feet down but she did get two hands! And with that elimination, Kai gets payback on Rhea for the victory Ripley had on the Kickoff Show! Kai springs up and off from her hands on the floor and gets back on the apron! Meanwhile, the WWE Hall of Famer in the matchup regains her composure. She watches as Hayter comes over to her! NO! Lita dips away and Hayter eats the turnbuckle! She then turns around
and walks into a TWIST OF FATE from Lita!! Dakota then tries to surprise Lita and goes for a Scorpion Kick on her! NO! Kai saw that move work twice and tried a third but it didn’t work! Lita sent her boot down and then kicked Kai!
Kai went up and then back down with a TWIST OF FATE!! Lita then dragged Kai over close to Hayter. Lita then went to work, as she went to the top rope. The crowd roared as Lita got up to the top rope, posed,
AND THEN HIT THE MOONSAULT DOWN ON HAYTER AND KAI!!
Lita then pulled herself up to applause from the crowd. A lot of it! She was gutting this out and looked good doing so! She certainly had the crowd behind her plenty here as they seemed to want her to win the match! Lita pulled Dakota up and tried to take her out of the match! Kai fought desperately to stay alive and then tried to wrestle Lita over the top rope! Lita was starting to slow down and Kai tried ot take advantage of that! But Lita landed on the apron and then wisely caught Kai with a Hangman’s neckbreaker! Kai was stunned and Lita then slipped back inside. She kicked her in the gut and went for another Twist of Fate! No! Kai shoved Lita in the corner and ran in a
nd BOOM! BOOT TO THE FACE!! Kai had Lita woozy and ready. She took a step back and instead of going for the kill, she watched Lita go over to the ropes. She ran in and tried eliminating her!
NO! Lita dipped down and sent Kai packing!! Over the top and TO THE FLOOR!
ELIMINATED: Dakota Kai by Lita at 11:05.
And we’re now down to TWO!! It’s WWE Hall of Famer Lita and 24-year-old upstart Jamie Hayter left in this match! Hayter, who’s had a hand in SEVEN eliminations tonight could have her eighth be an historic one! But Lita isn’t going to let it happen easily. The two converge and start to wail on each other. Lita’s last gasp here has taken a lot of energy out of her. She starts to seemingly get a little more urgent. She tries to finesse her way into getting Hayter eliminated, but the younger Hayter has way more juice in her! She shuts Lita out and keeps slugging her. It’s clear she has fresher legs and that durability might help her out big.
But Lita goes for broke again. She kicks Hayter in the gut out of nowhere moments later-
TWIST OF FATE!! It doesn’t lead to an elimination but it at least takes Jamie down!! Lita gets up seconds later and fends Hayter off as she charges in. She kicks at her and tries to chip away. Hayter comes in again and once again looks for the Twist of Fate! NO! Hayter spins out of it and was sure to grab Lita by the wrist.
She then VIOLENTLY pulled her in- LARIAT!!! OH SHE SMOKED LITA WITH THE LARIAT!!! Hayter then quickly pounced, seizing the moment, as she picked Lita up,
ran over, and TOSSED HER RIGHT OUT OF THE RING AND TO THE FLOOR!!!
ELIMINATED: Lita by Jamie Hayter at 13:32.
WINNER: Jamie Hayter at 13:32.
~ JAMIE HAYTER WINS THE FIRST-EVER ROCK ‘N WRESTLING CUP! ~
The huge
SHOCKING win by Hayter gave everyone around the ring a jolt! The 24-year-old hopeful just eliminated two Hall of Famers, maybe three one day (Carmella), and
EIGHT wrestlers overall to win the first-ever Rock ‘N Wrestling Cup Battle Royal! Hayter got emotional here as she dropped to her knees after she realized she won. She got up and pumped her fist. She would later be rewarded with the Rock ‘N Wrestling Cup Trophy by Lauper, who hugged the victorious Hayter. Jamie was anything but a
hater as she showed plenty of respect to the rock and roll icon AND new WWE Hall of Famer. Lauper and Hayter then stood by each other with the trophy as confetti and streamers poured out from everywhere! Hayter then took center stage with the cup as she hoisted it up high! The celebration continued as
a second emerging young women’s star has been crowned tonight!
A vignette aired. A shooting star
flew across the sky and then we saw
a UFO flying through! The UFO went at hyper speed through the sky. It was picked up again and
the next thing we knew, it appeared to go down!
It was then time to get right into our
first championship match of the night!
NXT UK WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
‘The EST of NXT’ Bianca Belair defends against Kay Lee Ray
The name of the game was
frustration. Kay Lee Ray was
frustrated throughout this match. Bianca Belair was tough for her to deal with. Sure, Ray had showed some aggression and hatred for Belair for the past week or so. Based just on how she’s talked to everyone around her, it seems like she’s been stewing mad for a while now. And now she had the perfect opportunity to make it known. Ray though attacked Belair with ferocity. Bianca matched it and stayed without any brittle.
Belair showed off her strength and tossed Kay Lee around a bit after weathering the early storm. She showcased her awesome athleticism and got the crowd behind her pretty swiftly. Bianca kept the pressure on Ray but Ray stole momentum back eventually. She was woozy in the corner but set up a successful drop toehold that sent Bianca crashing down on the middle turnbuckle!! And she hurt her forearm in the process breaking the fall! Kay Lee got up, realized this, and
started to stomp on Bianca’s forearm!
Ray tried to use this to her advantage and she was able to knock Bianca off her feet a few times. But Belair stood firm and didn’t quit. Ray tried to make her quit, but Belair absolutely refused. But Kay Lee wasn’t through dishing out the punishment. The two fought on the apron until Ray sent The EST off!
And Belair crashed on the barricade right on her forearm! Ray clearly wants to hurt Bianca and she’s made that perfectly clear. She grabs Bianca by the forearm and slams it right down on the barricade with authority!
Bianca basically fights on here for a bit with one arm. Ray puts her in a predicament and into the Tree of Woe in the corner. She beats on Belair and then went to the opposite corner. Kay Lee raced in and
hit a dropkick into Bianca’s chest! Bianca falls down and Kay Lee pounced on her. Near fall! Kay Lee kept on and she
tried to go for the Gory Bomb! However, Bianca wouldn’t let it happen! In fact,
as they locked arms, she POWERED KAY LEE OVER HER AND ON HER FEET! Ray was startled and Bianca clobbered her with a huge clothesline with her good arm!
Belair wiped herself out there but it was needed! She dug deep after that but Ray eventually seized back control. She put Bianca to the mat and then went up to the top rope. Kay Lee Ray looked down and then
soared off – SWANTON BOMB ON BIANCA BELAIR! 1! COULD SHE CLINCH IT!? 2! NEW CHAMPION!? NO!!! KICK OUT BY BELAIR!! Kay Lee thought she clinched it! She freaked out and then tried to take her aggression out on The EST.
But The EST was ready! Kay Lee kicked at her arm but Belair dodged her! And Ray walked in as Bianca
powered her up on her shoulders! Instead of going for the KOD,
Belair kept Kay Lee up and went with a TORTURE RACK!! WOW!! Bianca used her massive arm and bicep to keep Ray up as she kept her in the Rack! And eventually there wasn’t much Kay Lee could do!
Kay Lee tapped out!! BIANCA RETAINED THE TITLE!!
WINNER: Bianca Belair via submission at 11:45.
~ BELAIR RETAINS THE NXT UK WOMEN’S TITLE ~
Bianca celebrated with GREAT jubilation after making Kay Lee Ray tap out to the Torture Rack! She jumped up on the middle rope, ECSTATIC, in the corner and got the crowd fired up! Belair is obviously appreciative that she got out of that with a win and is damn happy to get it! She received her title and hoisted it in the air in celebration. Bianca received a great response from the Brooklyn crowd who took to her every step here. That’s been consistent all year and isn’t the first time she’s received a positive response in this borough this year!
COMING THIS MAY
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN WWE HISTORY
THE WWE UNIVERSE WILL HAVE ITS EYES
ON DUBLIN!
WWE: THE DUEL IN DUBLIN
LIVE! MAY 16 2020 FROM 3ARENA
We see several notables in the crowd, giving their support!
Finn Balor (how timely) is here as is the
WWE Champion Kofi Kingston! And we also see a collection of WWE Hall of Famers!
Jacqueline, Ivory, and Torrie Wilson!
We sent it back to
Kayla Braxton who had the
NEWLY-CROWNED Women’s Intercontinental Champion, Toni Storm! Storm expressed elation for her victory tonight in an incredibly demanding match. She praised everyone in the match, yes,
even including Candice LeRae for putting their bodies on the line. She said a championship is
supposed to mean something, it’s supposed to be something that people fight for and aspire to hold. Toni said that everything was going to hurt tomorrow
but that means that everything tonight was earned. Storm said that she wanted to thank her opponents tonight for putting her through hell
because she doesn’t want anything easy.
Storm said that since she’s the first champion
then her responsibility is to set the standard of excellence. She reflects on past first-ever champions:
Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Pat Patterson, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Bayley. All of them are among the greatest and Storm
wants to follow in those footsteps. Toni revealed that
she wanted to defend this Women’s Intercontinental Championship on EITHER show! Storm said she was eager to do it and said that
she wanted to defend the championship one week from Friday in London, England! Toni dared whoever to come challenge her and said it didn’t matter who. Storm said she’d go to the arena, lace her boots up, get in there, give 110% and leave the Women’s Intercontinental Champion! A passionate promo from the new champ!
AJ Lee then leaves the broadcast booth here and we quickly understood why as
Ruby Riott made her way out to the ring to “Black Sheep.” A high-stakes encounter was on the way here as Ruby sought complete Bella elimination! Not just one of them, both of them!
DOUBLE JEOPARDY MATCH
(If Nikki Bella loses, she and Brie MUST Retire and Leave WWE!)
Nikki Bella (w/ Brie Bella) vs. ‘Ms. MITB’ Ruby Riott (w/ AJ Lee)
Deadset on trying to garner respect, the Money in the Bank holder worked this match with a purpose. As did her opponent, as Nikki tried to preserve her and her sister Brie’s careers. The crowd was pretty split on this one. Ruby had garnered popularity and it didn’t hurt to have the popular AJ Lee in her corner either. But the Bella Army came in legions to Brooklyn. Their fan support was abundant and it certainly kept Nikki in the match as it progressed. Riott intended on silencing the Bellas for good tonight. For the most part early on, she rose to the occasion and was doing that.
Nikki strived to get back in the matchup though and she would! And she would without the help of her sister Brie who watched on from ringside. Nikki sent Ruby into the corner and lit her up with a leaping forearm to the face! Nikki then pulled her up for the Rack Attack 2.0! But Ruby slid off her! Riott then pulled her down and hit an Inverted DDT!! Looking like a
Scorpion Death Drop! Riott couldn’t make the cover though as she landed hard on her shoulder. She pulled herself up and by then, Nikki had moved near the ropes.
She went on the attack and kept it going until Nikki was able to break it. Ruby stayed on the offensive and moments later had Nikki in position.
RIOTT KI—NO! Nikki sidestepped her and then clobbered her with a
fierce forearm to the face! Nikki went down to cover! 1! 2! SHOULDER UP! Ruby was able to dig deep and stay alive in this match. Nikki kept the attack going but Riott eventually threw her into the ringpost! Ruby crawled away t rest a bit as AJ offered encouragement. In the meantime, Brie walked over to Nikki.
Brie offered something to Nikki. Nikki nodded and
then the two tried to switch!
To their credit, they got away with it…but merely for a moment! AJ walked around the ring
and noticed Nikki going to hide! Lee shouted at Ruby, who noticed that it was Brie instead in the ring! Brie went at Ruby who ducked the shot! She then leapt up and hit a dropkick on her!
Nikki then pelted AJ with a big right hand and then ran into the ring! She picked Ruby up and then BOOM!
RACK ATTACK 2.0! 1! 2! NO!!! Ruby kicked out!!
The referee tried to get control of the situation. As it turned out, Brie landed awkwardly on the outside. The official took himself out and checked in on her. Meanwhile, Nikki looked to hit Ruby with another one of her forearms. Nikki then sprinted ahead and
tried to take Ruby’s head off! NO! Nikki MISSED and her momentum then took her into AJ, who was on the apron!
AJ… who kissed her! WHAT!
…
OH, LIKE SURVIVOR SERIES 2014!
A measure of revenge on Nikki!! Nikki looked stunned and froze up. Ruby then raced over and
BANG!! RUNNING BOOT IN THE CORNER!!
Nikki woozily walked in…
to a RIOTT KICK!! AJ demanded the official get in the ring and he did!
1! 2!! 3!!!
WINNER: Ruby Riott via pinfall at 9:47.
~ The Bellas MUST Retire and Leave WWE! ~
An emotional end to the career of The Bella Twins! The Bellas are given a standing ovation by the fans after the match. Their old tricks just weren’t enough to get past an old foe and the holder of the Money in the Bank contract. Brie and Nikki blow kisses to the crowd and go around the ringside area and say bye to mostly everybody. They embrace each other at the top of the stage and send their last goodbyes. It’s the end of an era, ladies and gentlemen.
NXT CHI-TOWN RUMBLE
NOVEMBER 23RD 2019 | CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
Backstage,
Jamie Hayter was found doing an interview on Instagram Live with Kayla Braxton. As the Rock ‘N Wrestling Cup winner celebrated her win, the interview was joined by someone…
Lita! Lita offered encouragement to the young star and said she
earned the win tonight. What a huge endorsement that is! Jamie and Lita embraced each other and then Hayter went on her way here.
An epic video package set to “Finale” by Madeon played to highlight the upcoming Mae Young Classic Final! It focused on our combatants and their roads to get there. And now it’s time to crown a new Mae Young Classic Champion!
Both ladies came out in spectacular fashion. Tegan Nox
walked out dressed in Captain Marvel attire – the actual suit’s colors this time! – while we saw Purrazzo
dressed in pink and black with white boots, perhaps paying homage to Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart!
MAE YOUNG CLASSIC FINAL
Deonna Purrazzo vs. Tegan Nox
Deonna Purrazzo and Tegan Nox had crossed paths multiple times in the last few months. They’ve been at odds with each other ever since Tegan aligned herself with Mia Yim at TakeOver: Toronto during Yim’s Street Fight with Purrazzo that night. This, though, is their first one-on-one meeting. What a meeting it is! The stakes could not be higher for these two women at this stage of the tournament. Michael Cole reminded us that they’ve already accomplished a lot.
Each has already gained entry into next year’s MYC, and each has already earned the opportunity to qualify for the Royal Rumble AND for either next year’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match or the 2021 one. So what’s up for grabs tonight?
Bragging rights, $100,000, AUTOMATIC entry into the Rumble and the MITB Ladder Match of the winner’s choosing, and a very nice trophy!
Deonna goes at the knee of Nox, always vulnerable. Commentary reminds us of what she did to Dakota Kai in the Mae Young Classic Quarterfinals. Purrazzo seems to have a similar attack emphasis here. And to her credit it works early on. But Tegan is able to dance away without much damage done! Nox proves slippery and countered many of Purrazzo’s early attempts to plant her. Almost like she faced her best friend in the Quarters! Speaking of,
Tegan’s offense in the early going with her kicks SURE look a lot like Dakota’s! Nox put Purrazzo on her ass moments later and then eventually sends her out of the ring! Nox’s confidence in herself throughout the tournament has grown exponentially. She is no longer just the lovable underdog. She got here, she’s good enough to get here, and she certainly is good enough to win it all too! An early test of that confidence? Tegan saw Deonna on the outside. Last year, Nox went for broke and it cost her dearly…
this time, Tegan races to the ropes, hits them, sprints ahead… AND DIVES THROUGH WITH A TOPE DOWN ON PURRAZZO! CLEANLY!
Nox cleared a big mental hurdle! She looked to keep going on the attack, but Deonna slammed her side into the ring! Purrazzo then hit Tegan with a knee right into her chest. She did it again and then booted Tegan’s bad knee HARD! The cheapshot by Purrazzo allowed her to run up and knee Tegan in the jaw! Nox was hurt and Deonna simply rolled into the ring to break the count temporarily. Purrazzo then grabbed Nox and threw her into the ring and kept trying to decimate Nox’s knee. Deonna stayed on the offensive over the next few minutes. She wasn’t determined to put Tegan away yet, even though she worked with urgency. She instead tried to methodically pick her opponent away. Nox was in peril and showed it and gained the support of the fans as the match wore on and took a toll on her.
Purrazzo put pressure on Nox’s knee and back as she arched her in a Single-Leg Boston Crab! Nox toiled in the submission for a few moments there and while she eventually broke the hold with the ropes, damage was certainly done. Purrazzo kept on, slamming her body down on Tegan’s knee. She dragged her out and stomped down on her knee! She then came of the ropes and delivered a Harley Race-like knee down on Nox’s knee!! Deonna kept the punishment going as she delivered several feet stamps on her body. Deonna then dropped through the ropes and pulled Tegan’s legs out through the ringpost. Purrazzo then grabbed her bad leg, already dealt a great deal of hurt, and
swung it as Nox’s knee BANGED against the ringpost! Oh no!! Deonna climbed into the ring to break the count as referee Charles Robinson accosted Purrazzo and told her to get back in the ring. Deonna simply said no and went back to the outside. She pulled Tegan out from under the bottom rope. Purrazzo then dragged Nox over to the steel steps. Tegan tried to then fight back as she saw peril straight in her face!
Tegan put her boot down on the steps and elbowed free of Deonna. But Purrazzo came back forcefully with a huge forearm shot to the face! Deonna then dragged Tegan over by her bad leg. She pulled the steel base of the steps off then! She then fit Tegan’s knee on the base of the steps
and then stomped on it! Deonna then put the top of the steps up against the leg! Lil’ Naitch again accosted Purrazzo, but Purrazzo responded by breaking the count and coming back out. She then went in and
drilled a boot into the steps that slammed against Nox’s knee! OH NO!! Purrazzo evilly grinned while Nox grabbed her knee and screamed in pain. Nox kept writhing as Purrazzo watched from the outside. She seemed very delighted. But she wouldn’t be for long. Despite looking down and out,
Nox refused to give up and jumped back in the ring! Deonna took this as an opportunity to deliver more punishment and hit a big Sidewalk Slam on Nox!
But a count of 2 followed!
Nox’s resiliency stayed on display. Deonna ramped up the pressure but Nox wouldn’t go away. Tegan fought Purrazzo off in the corner later in the match. Deonna then slugged her with some strikes
but Tegan became unmoved! Nox got in Purrazzo’s face,
as if to tell her she wasn’t going anywhere, and slammed her in the corner! Tegan then kept on, striking Deonna, and then sent her across the way to the ropes. Nox then exploded off the blocks and hit a clothesline! Nox then ran in again with a second explosive clothesline! Earth’s Shiniest Hero then ran to the ropes, sprinted back
and hit Deonna with a big Bulldog! Tegan kept the resiliency up and ran up on Purrazzo and BOOM!
Heel Kick to Purrazzo who dumped into the corner! Tegan then measured herself up, got the crowd alive, and got to the opposite corner. Tegan then sprinted and ahead and
BOOM! CANNONBALL COMIN’! ONTO PURRAZZO!! Tegan rolled back and fired herself up. She then pulled a crawling Purrazzo in and
butterflied the arms – she looked to hit… STORM ZERO?!
That’s Toni Storm’s finishing move! Good friend of Tegan Nox’s at that! But Purrazzo refused to be hit with it. She kept her arm muscles going and then twisted Nox around. Purrazzo tried to backslide Nox, but Nox refused to budge! The two were at a brief stalemate that concluded with Purrazzo winning and hitting the backslide! NO!
Tegan rolled through! She also pushed Deonna’s head down so she’d be out of position! Tegan rose to her feet, pulled Deonna up by her butterflied arms – STORM ZERO! STORM ZERO TO PURRAZZO!! 1! 2!! NO!! Purrazzo kicked out and Nox SURELY thought she might have had it won there! But while Toni couldn’t hit the move on Deonna, the move did nothing to pin Purrazzo! Perhaps Deonna is Toni-proof? The two resumed hostilities here and Nox eventually took a big swing at Purrazzo! But the crafty Virtuosa dodged the bullet, and then pounced!
Chop block to the bad leg!
The despicable cheapshot from Purrazzo earns her heat from the crowd but this is one woman on a mission right now to do one thing: Win the Mae Young Classic. And clearly, Purrazzo has proved that she will go to any length to make that happen. As evident by her repeated stomps to Tegan’s bad knee and leg in the corner! Deonna hung Nox’s bad knee up on the second rope, stepped over,
and jumped on it! And The Virtuosa wasn’t done. Purrazzo pulled Tegan away and stomped all over the leg again! She then ran off to the ropes
and dropped a big leg on the knee!! Purrazzo then stayed on Tegan as she pummeled her back! After letting those fists fly,
Purrazzo then began to unlatch her knee brace! Nox tried to fight her away but Deonna viciously hit her back!
Then Purrazzo successfully unlatched the knee brace! Deonna kept it in her hands and smiled as boy was this familiar to her.
Purrazzo similarly took the knee brace off against Dakota Kai in the MYC Quarterfinals! She climbed to the outside, grabbed Tegan’s legs, folded them up…
and she sure paid homage to Bret Hart alright! FIGURE-FOUR on the ringpost!! Nox screamed, SCREAMED in pain as Deonna wouldn’t let go of the hold! She did at the count of four though, and rolled off her as grinned like a Cheshire cat.
She looked at how vulnerable Nox was in the ring now. Tegan’s writhed in pain for many moments now as Purrazzo grinned more as she got in the ring. Deonna called her “pathetic” and a “loser.” She claimed once again that this was “her tournament” and Tegan was about to find that out. Purrazzo lifted her by her arm, twisted it, pulled her in-
FLATLINER!! Deonna covered Tegan! To win the Mae Young Classic! NO!! 2 count for Purrazzo, Nox stays alive! Deonna looked annoyed that Tegan stayed in the mix and then started to attack Nox’s arm in retaliation! That arm, of course, could leave Tegan in trouble if Deonna wants to use her Fujiwara Armbar later! Purrazzo kept on the offensive here as Nox still refused to go away quietly. Tegan made an effort later, got Purrazzo on her heels, and then tried to hit her with a German Suplex!
NO! Purrazzo countered out, chopped the arm down, and rolled over and locked in a Kneebar!
The very same kneebar that did Dakota Kai in back in the Quarters! Tegan was trapped in the center and after suffering so much damage, she had to toil in even more now! Purrazzo kept the hold applied and wrenched away at her knee. Nox screamed in more pain here as she tried to crawl for the ropes. Deonna kept the hold applied and squeezed more pressure down on her with her legs. Nox still stood steadfast here in not giving up yet! Nox made a push for the ropes while Purrazzo tried to hold on. She could sense the tide shifting here but Nox made it happen before she could wrestle her away.
NOX GETS TO THE ROPES AND STAYS ALIVE!! There is CERTAINLY no shortage of drama in this one! Deonna let go of the hold because she had to and got angered with Nox. She walked over to Tegan and kept disrespecting her. Nox would pull herself up and
hit Deonna with an uppercut!
Nox kept fighting back, on one leg, and Deonna couldn’t withstand this late onslaught! Nox peppered Purrazzo with blows. Nox then ran off to the ropes and Deonna went to score with what would’ve been a HUGE lariat. But Tegan ducked underneath,
grabbed ahold as she whirled around her and DRILLED HER WITH A NECKBREAKER! That turned the tide because both ladies were wiped out then! Both reached their feet before the 10 count and then started to slug it out. Deonna hit a huge knee lift on Nox but Nox responded with one of her own! Deonna went for another lariat but Nox ducked that too! Tegan comes around and socks her in the abdomen! She then pulls her down and
DROPS HER with a brutal DDT! SPIKING Purrazzo! Tegan goes to cover
but Deonna rolls out of the ring! Savvy move by Purrazzo! Wrestling like a 15-year vet! Tegan got Deonna back in the ring moments after and set her up in the corner. She and Deonna would fight it out, but Tegan got the advantage after a big headbutt! Tegan then set Deonna up in the corner, as she propped her up on the top rope. Nox then got up on top, looked out, looked down at Deonna
AND HIT A HURRICANRANA ON DEONNA!!
Is this Tegan’s moment!? Tegan looked out at Deonna in the center of the ring, woozy to get up…
conjuring up some memories of another plucky babyface who had a big clinching win in Brooklyn! Nox then ran in…
AND DELIVERED! SHINING WIZARD TO DEONNA PURRAZZO!! She gets ALL of it!!
Nox crawls over and makes the cover on Purrazzo! 1! FOR THE MAE YOUNG CLASSIC! 2! THE COMEBACK STORY IS COMPLETE!
THRE-NO!!!
OH! OH DEONNA KICKED OUT AT 2.75!!
Tegan and Brooklyn simply CAN’T believe it! Deonna took her BEST shot and she’s STILL ticking! Tegan wrestled through these thoughts here and knew she had to think of something here. She pulled Deonna up and Irish whipped her HARD into the other corner! Deonna hit the turnbuckles hard and came back, spring off them,
AND SHE CLEARED NOX OFF HER FEET WITH A HUGE SPINNING LARIAT!! She tried it twice before but couldn’t get it. Didn’t miss the third time!! Deonna then made no bones about it. She pulled herself up a few moments later with an angered look on her face. She pulled Nox up and
BAM! FLATLINER ON THE ARM! AND STRAIGHT INTO THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! OH NO!! Tegan is trapped again!! The referee consults the plucky eight-seed as Purrazzo looked to finish the match!!
Nox screamed in pain as she already had been in immense pain! So what does Deonna do?
Deonna shifts the move over and keeps the arm trapped behind her!! AND STARTS PUMMELING NOX IN THE FACE WITH HER ELBOW!! SHE’S TRYING TO KNOCK TEGAN OUT!!
Purrazzo keeps the pummeling up and-
TEGAN GOES…
NIGHT-NIGHT!!
IT’S OVER!!!
WINNER: Deonna Purrazzo via technical knockout at 14:46.
~ Purrazzo WINS the MYC! ~
