Episode #11
Live from The Grand Ballroom, New York/USA
Tonights Spotlight episode has a jampacked card for you all. The two newcomers Shazza McKenzie and Allysin Kay will be facing each other tonight. We are also going to get a tag team matchup set up by general manager Quinn, as Shotzi Blackhart and Candyfloss will team up to take on the team of Kris Statlander and Priscilla Kelly. And for our main event, as announced on this weeks Jamboree, it will be Sara Del Rey and AJ Lee's first title defence as EAM Womens Tag Team Champions, as they take on Tessa Blanchard and Toni Storm! We cut to the Spotlight vignette...
As the show starts, we find ourselves in the office of general manager Quinn. Charlotte is there and Quinn explains to her that the reason she wanted to talk to her is because people has been complaining about Charlotte's attitute. It affects the whole roster. Quinn says one thing is proclaming herself the queen of everything, another thing is to phone home during live events. Quinn gotta admit Charlotte is one of her top contenders, but whe also gotta understand that a top contender cannot act like that. She gotta be professional. Charlotte gets angry about this, saying she's one of the most professional wrestlers in the business. And that there is a real reason she is called The Queen. Quinn says it's only Charlotte that calls herself that, anyay. She admits Charlotte is on the top of the ladder for a championship, but her attitude has put her a few steps back. Anyway, Quinn has a suggestion. Charlotte will wrestle Jamie Hayter tonight, and the winner will be granted a title shot against Jax. How does that sound? Charlotte gets up on her feet and tells Quinn she should not have to prove anything for anyone. She slams the door and leaves. We cut to the arena and our first match of the evening.
How she would act. Think the scramble match would work better with Jax.
Tag Team Matchup
Shotzi Blackhart & Candyfloss Vs Kris Statlander & Priscilla Kelly
Fun match up from all these new girls. Some comedy throughout this one. Lot of good double teaming as well but at the end of the match the self proclaimed girlfriend of Orange Cassidy gets the pin on Candy. Kelly who’s husband is Darby Allin looks good as well.
After the matchup, Kris and Priscilla leaves the ring and goes to the barricade where they each kiss a guy in the audience. It's Orange Cassidy and Jimmy Havoc! They are in the audience tonight. And seemingly, they are good friends with these women. We cut to commercial break.
Haha it’s funny cause Kelly/Allin are married but she kissed Havoc instead. Unless that was a mistake or done on purpose. Makes more sense if Kelly/Allin together in EAM though. Girls in UVS could work. No problem with more than 5 people.
As we get back from commercial break, we hook up with Renee Young on the interview stand. Both Shazza McKenzie and Allysin Kay get a minute to introduce themselves and hype up the audience before they go to action. They even shake hands before the bell rings. That's a nice sign of respect from these two newcomers on the EAM Womens roster.
Singles Matchup
Shazza McKenzie Vs Allysin Kay
Kay with a lot more experience going back to the SHIMMER days but Shazza still new but looks good. Lot of fast paced action from both involved with signature/high flying and back and forth action. Shazza experience for a 2 count. Kay comes back with back drops and suplexes but at the end of the match Kay looks for a Kay Kross Killer but gets rolled up....1...2...3...SHAZZA GETS A HUGE WINQ.
We cut to the back where Alicia Atout are standing together with The EAM Center of Attention Champion; Nia Jax. Alicia asks Jax, allthough a bit nervous, how it is to be such a dominant womens champion. And what she think about Supersplash, and if she's been thinking aobut who her opponent will be. It might be either Jamie Hayter or Charlotte Flair. Nia says it doesn't matter. She's beaten both before and will do it again. As a matter of fact, it's starting to get rather boring being champion. There is no real competition left in this promotion, but Jax is not the champion to take a dive to get out. Oh no. She will be defending this championship even though she has to retire with it, as someone else did! She leaves, leaving Alicia alone. Alicia then says, let's gp back to the arena.
#1 Contenders Matchup For The Center of Attention Championship
Jamie Hayter Vs Charlotte Flair
I actually don’t think this match is big enough for Jax. Scramble would really work especially since Supersplash. 5 or so girls wrestle for 20 odd minutes and winner at the end is champion. Perfect match for Jax because she could lose and have to regain by the end. Both look awesome in this match. Jamie still young and new but Charlotte well experienced. Charlotte had a great match against Becky at the PPV. Hayter time for a 2 count. Flair comes back...
As the match goes on, Charlotte gets the upper hand, but when she is about to win, putting Jamie in a figure-four, howling like her dad, the lights goes out in the arena. When it comes back on again, there are four individuals in the ring. They are all dressed up like Mickie James?! They also wear Mickie James masks! What is this? The four masked intruders fiercly attack both Jamie and Charlotte, and they manage to leave before security comes to the scene. What did we all witness?! We cut to commercial break.
Hmm strange. The Mickie/Jax connection won’t stop. Also keeps both girls strong and possibly in the scramble match if it happens. Maybe with Alexa and Leah as well. Good storytelling.
As we get back, the commentators are still talking about the events that happened before we went for a break. They agree they never has seen anything like it. As the camera turns, we can see it's Amy and Joanna Rose om commentary tonight. It's been a memorable evening already, but it's now time for our main event, who wil be for the EAM Womens Tag Team Championships, and it will be Sara Del Rey and AJ Lee's first title defence as champions.
EAM Womens Tag Team Championships Matchup
Sara Del Rey & AJ Lee (c) Vs Tesseract: Tessa Blanchard & Toni Storm
Awesome main event could have maybe even been on the PPV but guess other stuff is planned. Lot of back and forth action and big bumps. Signature and finishing moves. Double team action and spots Storm Zero and Tessa Time. The name for the team is apparently now called Tessaract. LeeRey look good as well with an Octopus Stretch and Butterfly Suplex and you have to wonder if Beth and Hall were still champions then they may have lost the titles tonight. At the end of the match Storm looks for a Stormy Days on Lee but she reverses it with the Black Widow for the finish and win!. Could be looking at the next Boss and Hug title reign. I also think a tag turmoil at the PPV would work for the match and get as many people on the show as possible.
