Episode #43 - Live from The Grand Ballroom/New York

We get a short recap of what's been going on the past weeks in EAM's womens division, with offcourse the title match between Bayley and Mickie being the hot topic, and the controversy following after the match. Bayley is still pissed, as she feels she's been cheated, as she cleanly pinned Mickie 1...2...3, and the stipulation was that if Mickie lost, she would have to retire, but in a allmost geniously twist, the chairman of EAM himself changed the contract, so the clause of having to retire was removed. This certainly saved Mickie's career (for now) BUT, what will the aftermath look like? As this is just the sort of things that Travis Gerweck was accusing Emil A. and Mickie of doing. Only time will tell I guess, in the meantime, we have a show to run. We then go to the Spotlight vignette...

We start the show off with a couple of girls who's not been getting much in-ring time as of late. Asuka gets a good cheer from the audience, but offcourse rumors about her returning to Japan has been circling around. Will she be a part of Grandslam if Grandslam is going to Tokyo next season? Only time will tell. Maria gets booo's from the audience offcourse, as she's not been doing much to get their love the last couple of years. She even have the nerve to grab a microphone and cut a small promo before the match where she talks about how overrated Asuka is and that she never really blossomed in america. She does not understand why Asuka has been sticking to EAM all this time, because it seems that Asuka is a pretty competitive woman. Maria, she's just happy to pick up her paycheck every month. She doesn't care if she wrestles or not really. Why should she? She doesn't owe any of these scumbags anything! (she points around in the arena) getting major booos. She then lays down on the canvas and demands Asuka to pin her, as the " Big Star " she is...

Smart promo.

Singles Matchup
Maria Kanellis Vs Asuka

Right as the bell rings Maria slaps Asuka…ARMBAR…WHAT A SUBMISSION!…SHE TAPS. Asuka beats Maria. After the match Asuka celebrates and wonders what’s next for her.

As we get back from commercial break we get a promo from Kamille, and that's not something we get every day, as Kamille is known as a women of few words but big actions. She focus her attention on Freya The Slaya, and congratulate her on her debut win. Kamille sees so much of herself in Freya. So much ambition. So much courage. But make no mistake about it. The similarities ends there! Kamille then challenge Freya to a rematch at the next Spotlight episode. Because everyone can have beginner's luck. But do Freya feel lucky?

Makes sense.

We go to a video which features a dentist chair. We hear people scream in the chair and see a woman reaching over smiling and typing D.M.D with her finger and a sign saying: coming soon. An assistant is also standing next to her. On the door it reads the dentist will see you now as we cut away.

We see in the crowd that new Hollywood super celebrity couple Tom Holland and Zendaya are in the crowd tonight!. Spider-Man and his girlfriend.

Tag Team Matchup
Alexa Bliss & Nia Jax Vs Thunder Rosa & Jennacide

Pretty interesting match for sure. Alexa lets Jax do everything while she jumps around. Rosa and Jenna look good but at the end Jax nails a top rope splash on Jenna for the 3 count and win.

We get a videopackage next, where we see Aleah Jame's debuting in EAM under Mickie James' protection. We see the evolution of Aleah as weeks go, we get the highlights from her feud with Melina, and then we are brought up to current date, and the backstabbing of Mickie at Fight For Glory. Aleah might have thought that Mickie was gonna have to retire. One thing is for sure, she did not expect it to go down as it did. Aleah walks out first, getting major booo's from the audience. She walks down the ramp and around the ring where she grabs a microphone before she enters the ring. She cut's a promo, and manage to keep calm despite the booo's from the fans in attentance. She talks about Fight For Glory, and she wants everyone to know, THAT SHE'S NOT SORRY! And why should she be? Mickie did the exact same thing to rocket her own career, she should be proud! She gets interrupted then, as music cranks the arena speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbJg5q6a78U . Mickie walks out on the stage, getting a big pop from the audience. But before she manage to reply to Aleah she gets attacke from behind! Chairshot by The EAM Center of Attention Champion! Bayley is screaming " I retired you Bitch! " Another chairshot! And another! Mickie crawls up in pain like a porcupine on the stage. Bayley towers over her with the chair high above her head, ready for another shot. BAAAM! Bayley goes down as Ronda tackles her! It's total bedlam right now! Where the funk is security?! They do arrive, but a bit late, as the damage is already done. Ronda is forced to break up a armbar on Bayley as security surrounds her. Mickie is still down on the stage as EMT's check on her. The only one standing at the moment are Aleah in the ring, who comments on the whole situtation, and in a mocking tone says that she guess this means that she just beat Mickie by forfeit...

Singles Matchup
Mickie James Vs Aleah James

Chaos ensues once more as Mickie comes down to the ring spearing Aleah down. This match is bigger than Spotlight!. The match is ruled a no contest as now on the stage Ronda and Bayley are fighting it out. This leads to Mickie laying out Aleah on the announcers table with a Mickie DT!. It would be a big tag match for sure.

We get a strange Alexa Bliss promo next. She's at something that lookes like an abandoned playground. We find her all by herself on a swing. She's dressed in " Little Girl's " clothes, and her hair is put up in pigtails (we all know how much Emil A. love pigtails) her face is dead pale, almost white, white black shadings around her eyes, making her face look thin and hollow. Her lips is stained with black lipstick. Her eyes is pitc-black, allmost lifeless, like doll-eyes. She's wearing The EAM Primetime Bitch Championship (The Womens TV Title) arond her waist. She caresses, stroking over the gold with her fingers. She talks in a whispering voice, almost like she's afraid of talking to loud, as if someone would be disturbed by it. But what she says is rather cryptic;

She talks about how past winds have been blowing out the candles of life. She talks about reanimation of promotions and the aftermath of desolation and devastation. She talks about ghosts of the ring and spirits of the arena. She talks about personal demons, and other demons alike, and how everyone is being fooled. She talks about choosing paths, and about how the only right path is the one with no end. Because in the end, we are all just pawns, in life's big chess game....

We then see a serious of rapid pictures of Alexa burying Leah Von Dutch in a ditch, then having some sort of ceremony on her grave afterwards....

The camera then zooms in on Alexa's face, who then smiles, showing a row of sharp fanged teeth..

" LET ME IN "

We cut to the arena for our main event....

Hmm oook very strange. No idea what’s next for her. Maybe changing the actual title to something different. Demon’s Belt or something. Speaking of graves. Haven’t had a buried alive, stretcher or casket match in a while not including Havoc/Allin soon.
