Episode #41
Live from Oslo/Norway


A short recap is shown to remind everyone about what's going on in EAM Promotion's womens division right now. Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks became NEW Womens Tag Team Champions at Grandslam, defeating Jade Cargill and Red Velvet, alltough Bianca lost her Primetime Bitch Championship in the process, as Alexa Bliss cashed in her money in the bank briefcase on her after the match. Bayley prevailed and defeated Norwegian wrestler Miss Mina, retaining the Center Of Attention Championship. The tension between Mickie James' protege Aleah James and Melina Perez can be cut with a knife. There is also some tension between Scarlett Bordeaux and Taya Valkyrie, not to mention Piper Niven and Session Moth Martina, who's been on a roll as of late, and looking to get another title match, so they can be the only team to ever hold the EAM Womens Tag straps more than once! There is so much going on, and season 16 has just starteed! We cut to the Spotlight vignette...

Show opens in the arena with the audience as music cranks the arena speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbJg5q6a78U . The noise in the arena is overwhelming as EAM's first lady enters the stage. You can see on her face that this whole scene makes her emotional. She's not dressed to wrestle tonight, as she's wearing boots and jeans, and a flannel shirt. (almost like in her Hardcore Country video) Her hair is put up in pigtails (Everyone knows Emil A. is weak for pig tails. And NO!, no Piggy James jokes, please!) As the audience calms down, she greets everyone in the audience, telling them how awesome this trip to Norway has been. Being able to host Grandslam in Emil A's home country is something he wanted to do for such a long time. And, offcours it's a bit special for Mickie as well, because she explains how she and Emil has talked about moving here when their days come. But, business before pleasure as they say. We have a wrestling promotion to run, and we have a show for you tonight, wich will be the last show from Norway. At least for now. But again Mickie wants to thank everyone who made this possibly, and everyone who has taken part of it. Everyone from the guys in the ring-crew, to security, to the guys backstage selling merch and wieners, to the wrestlers, to the valets, to the managers, to the bookers, to the MTS's, to the guys in the production truck, to The Norwegian Wrestling Federation. And, offcourse... Our fans!

She gets a big pop from the audience after that little speech, but offcourse it's true. Without fans, wrestling is nothing. She then gets brutally interrupted, as music cranks the arena speakers and the titantron starts to flicker. Who is this rude? Interrupting the CEO's wife as she's thanking the people of Norway?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yAzUEJfAjs . Offcourse...Who else has the nerves?

Bayley walks out on the stage from massive booo's of the audience, but she's just smiling. She is all dressed in black, and is quite the opposite of Mickie, as appearences go. Black boots, black jeans with holes on the knees, and a black shirt with her own name on it (offcourse) The EAM Center of Attention Championship belt is nonchalantly draped over her right shoulder. " Bla, Bla, Bla. Your husband owns this company, and he is from Norway. We get it! And nobody cares! " Bayley walks around Mickie who's standing in the middle of the ring. She asks Mickie then how long she's gonna float on that fact? Or how long she's gonna keep around? After all, didn't see retire a couple of years ago? Or what is all just a bad dream? Mickie starts to get annoyed, and asks Bayley what she wants. After all, they have a show on their hands, and Bayey are keeping everyone waiting by this point. If she's got anything important to say, get on with it! Bayley keep on walking around Mickie, mumbling something about Emil, and how he could have done so much better, before she walks straight up to Mickie and looks her straight into the eyes. Bayley then explains that she wants to adress the fact that she's not booked for a match at the upcoming Fight For Glory PPV. Mickie then explains that she should not worry, Quinn probably has a plan. Bayley interrupts her then, laughing, telling that she does not care about Kamille or Tessa or Nia or Ronda or...or...well, mostly the entire locker room! No, Bayley has a very special opponent in mind for Fight For Glory. You see, Bayley figured, since she probably holds the most prestigious womens title in professional wrestling, it probably means many wants it right? Mickie starts to lose her temper, asking Bayley to get to the point. Bayley laughs again then, mocking Mickie, putting the title in front of Mickie's face, asking Mickie what about her? Wouldn't it be nice to be a 7 time world champion? Mickie gets flabbergasted by this last notion. Didn't Bayley just minutes ago ask Mickie when she was retireing? And now she's offering Mickie a title shot? Bayley adjusts the title strap on her shoulder " Ding, Dong Mickie! Anyone home? I did ask you, but that was before I figured I could fix it myself. Mickie asks then " Fix what? " Bayley once again laughs " Ding, Dong Mickie! I could easily end your career. Because I am the greatest woman to ever step inside this ring. And I got the only thing in the world that could persuade you to actually step inside the ring with me. The EAM Center of Attention Championship! "

Bayley's music cranks the arena speakers then as she leaves the ring and walks backwards up the ramp, not loosing eyecontact with Mickie on her way up. When she reaches the stage, she lifts the EAM Center of Attention Championship above her head, posing to major booo's from the audience as we cut to a promotional video for the upcoming Fight For Glory PPV.

Singles Matchup
Kamille Vs Tessa Blanchard

After the match, whoever wins it, as Kamille makes her way up the rampway and reaches the stage, music cranks the arena speakers and the titantron starts to flicker. Not familiar music to anyone in the EAM universe at this point. Then someone walks out on the stage, blocking Kamille's way. She's huge! And Beth and Jillian explains to the TV audience that the woman standing toe to toe with Kamille on the stage is known as Freya The Slaya! Neither women moves, but their eyes are locked on each other as we cut to commercial break. We are certainly going to see these two women face off at some point in the future after that staredown...

We go backstage where Alicia Atout is about to interview Alicia and Caylee Fox, as they get interrupted by the two girls they are scheduled to wrestle tonight, as Anna Jay and Tay Conti walks up to the scene, making jokes about Alicia and Caylee, but Alicia and Caylee just throws shit back. The four girls go at each other verbally as they all approaches the gorilla position. As Alicia is about to announce the end of this segment, Piper Niven and Session Moth Martina walks up to her. They are in a good mood, joking about how it seems as The Foxes and Jay/Conti has their own problems. They then makes their place on each side of Alicia, making her a bit uncomfortable actually. Alicia asks if there was something they wanted to say, and Martina wastes no time, gulping down beer while explaining that she and Piper also has a problem, but fortunately for them, they know how to solve it. Their problem is named Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks, and the solution you ask? Defeating them, to become two times EAM Womens Tag Team Champions! We cut to the arena, where Alicia and Caylee, Anna Jay and Tay Conti makes their way out, already brawling before the bell has even rung.

Tag Team Matchup
Alicia & Caylee Fox Vs Anna Jay & Tay Conti

After the match, whoever wins it, the brawl between the four women continues on outside the ring, using the barricade, ring-apron and everything they can get their hands on or use to their advantage until the point that they get seperated by security and we cut to commercials...

The tension between our two next contestants has been brewing for a while, even before their tag team match at Grandslam for The EAM Intergender Tag Team Championships. There is no doubt that both women are amongst the hottest names in the EAM womens division right now, and a win tonight would truly mean much for either of them. Or for their boyfriends for that matter..

Singles Matchup
Scarlett Bordeaux Vs Taya Valkyrie

As we get back from commercial break we take a quick peak backstage where we hook up with Alexa Bliss, who walks down the hall, passing Leah Von Dutch's locker room. She stops for a second and smiles, before leaving for the gorilla position as her music cranks the arena speakers.

Primetime Bitch Championship Matchup (Read below first)
Alexa Bliss (c) Vs Leah Von Dutch

After a short while Alexa starts to get restless, and she demands that the referee starts a ten count. If Leah cannot respond, being in this ring by the referee has reached 10, she demands that he raises her hand and declares her winner of this match by forfeit! The referee starts to count then and Alexa places herself on top of one of the turnbuckles, with the Primetime Bitch Championship draped over her shoulder. She starts to laugh, telling the referee that she's not coming. The referee reaches seven. Still no Leah. Alexa laughs hysterically by this point. Nothing happens up on the stage. No music cranks the arena speaker, no flickering titantron. 8!...9!...10! The bell rings three times, indicating that the match is officially over. Alexa jumps down from the top turnbuckle and walks up to the referee. She gives him her arm to raise and this episode of Spotlight ends with Alexa's music cranking the arena speakers, with Alexa posing in the middle of the ring, while still laughing, like a movie villain. Why didn¨t Leah show up? Does Alexa has something to do with it? Scene cuts....
