Episode #9
Live from The Grand Ballroom, New York/USA
Show starts with a promotional video for the upcoming all women PPV, No Boys Allowed, which are only a couple of weeks away. And we only have one offical booked match for the card yet! We will probably get more announcements tonight as the show goes on. Will Nia Jax be defending her Center of Attention Championship on the PPV? If so, against who? What is Melina's beef with EAM? What did Sara Del Rey mean when she said Beth Phoenix and Jillian Hall had to come prepared for tonight? And who are those three mysterious girls wearing gas masks and wreaking havoc upon first presence? Hopefully we will get answers to all this and much more in the ninth episode of Spotlight! We cut to the spotlight vignette...
Would be bad if Jax didn’t defend the belt on the first Ppv
We go to the Gorilla position where Melissa Santos are about to enter the arena to announce our first match when Maria walks up to her, demanding to get her title back. Melissa says it's being detained at the moment, until the time it will be given to it's rightful owner. Maria gets cranky, saying she's the rightful owner. Melissa smiles, then she tells Maria a short story, about a girl, who week after week stood in the spotlight, but never hogged it. Week after week she stood there, watching all the others. Some lost. Some won. Every week she was there, watching them. And if Maria can excuse Melissa, she will have to tell the rest of the story later, as she has to do her job. Melissa walks out, leaving Maria alone backstage, pulling her hair.
Tonights first match is a fatal 4-way match with some of the new faces in the EAM womens division. Beth tries to tell the audience about everyone of the girls, but are constantly interrupted by Sara. This are starting to get annoying. Sara has been rambling for weeks already. Beth tell her to shut up and do her job. They will settle their differences later. And after that, Sara should start looking for a new job.
Fatal 4-Way Matchup
Kris Statlander Vs Shotzi Blackhart Vs Candyfloss Vs Priscilla Kelly
Awesome back and forth match from everyone involved. High flying, big bumps, signature and finishing but at the end of the match Kris gets the win after the Alien Nation but all girls look good going into the PPV.
We get a promo from Becky Lynch, who talks about FACTS. The facts are; Charlotte never beat Becky when Becky was champion. Charlotte has never been champion. Becky cannot be champion again. And.....she will make sure Charlotte never holds gold in EAM Promotions! There is nothing so satisfying, completing a goal you set for yourself. You walk out every week hogging everyone's limelight, telling you are the greatest women's wrestler ever. Still, you have never hold gold in EAM Promotions. You see how I bring it back? Because it's the biggest FACT of them all. And here I got a last fact for you Charlotte. At No Boys Allowed, you will lose to me, again!
Becky/Charlotte will never end.
Before our next match we go backstage where we hook up with The Harem. Alexa talks to the girls about Leah, and how they need to be on the alert. As Alexa does not know what she's up to. She then asks them to keep an eye out for her as she has a itchy feeling that Leah will be trying to do something during tonights match. The other girls tell Alexa they will look out for her.
Singles Matchup
Alexa Bliss Vs Jamie Hayter
Both girls look great. Big show case of spots...
During the matchup, the lights goes out in the arena. What is going on? Nothing happens. Not a flicker on the titantron. No music. But then, suddenly the lights gets back on. In the ring, surrounding Alexa and Jamie are the three women wearing gas masks! Alexa and Jamie look at each other before they go for the attack. But the three mysterious women man-handles them! Who are these women? Then someone jumps the barricades! Sasha Banks and Bayley enters the ring and attack the mysterious women! A brawl in the ring right now! But after a while, Sasha and Bayley cleans the ring! Alexa makes her way up the ramp. She's mad. But she was wrong about Leah interrupting. She makes her way up on the stage. Sasha and Bayley stands alone in the ring as the mysterious women escapes the actions trough the audience before further damage is done. Jamie has just made it back on her feet at ringside. As Alexa turns around to walk backstage, she bumps into Leah Von Dutch. Leah has made her way out on the stage. She's just standing there. Alexa makes a gesture with her fingers (I'm watching you) she then leaves for backstage as we cut to commercial break.
Hmm strange no idea. Maybe Harem.
As we get back from commercial break, we go straight to the commentators, and Beth has finally had enough of Sara's constant nagging and complaining. Beth pulls of her headset, demands Sara to do the same and enters the ring. She then demand Sara to get into the ring, so she can hog the limelight, as that's what she wants to do! Sara gets into the ring. She tells Beth she better shut her pretty mouth, if not, she will do it for her. Sara then says she hopes Beth has enjoyed the short time as champion, because at No Boys Allowed, she will lose it. She then makes a gesture for the titantron, but It's Jillian Hall's music that cranks the speakers. This was obviously not what Sara expected and she gets pretty angry about it. Jillian makes her way down the rampway, looking better than ever, carrying the tag title over her shoulder. She makes her way into the ring and places herself besides her tag team partner. Beth then tell Sara to get on with it. If she has anything planned, get on with it now. Because this is ground zero. Either Beth leaves, or Sara leaves. Sara then makes another gesture towards the titantron, saying they will both be sorry in the end. As everyone gets what they deserves. Nothing happens still. What is this? An upset? Was Sara expecting anyone to come out and help her? Beth then tell Sara to let it all go. She can still walk out of this with her head high and some dignety. But then, music cranks the arena speaker, and the audience explodes!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEYfYkYjfpg . Oh My GOD! It's former one time EAM Womens Champion; AJ LEE! She gets the biggst pop of the night as she skips down the rampway and enters the ring, placing herself besides Sara. As Beth and Jillian can see, Sara brought a friend. They attack and it's a brawl where both parties gets in some punches, throws and kicks. In the end, Sara and AJ cowards out and leaves the ring. Beth and Jillian stands in the ring, mocking them, pointing at their titles as Sara and AJ backs up the ramp. We cut to backstage.
Wow AJ unexpected. Not sure if he left or retire but cool. Kind of funny how everyone in the title match is a older girl/retired.
We hook up with a couple of girls we have seen once before. It's Chikara's Campeonatos de Parejas; The Bird And The Bee
(Solo Darling & Willow Nightingale). They walk by Tessa and Toni who makes themselves ready for the upcoming matchup. Tessa wonder what kind of toy title they are wearing, then saying that she understand why they come to EAM, where the real titles are. Willow Nightingale then mocks Tessa, asking where her title is. It's a stare down between the four as Tessa and Toni's music cranks the speakers and they have to leave. It might not be the last time we have seen these four together somehow.
Tag Team Matchup
Dakota Kai & Tegan Nox Vs Tessa Blanchard & Toni Storm
Good fun hard hitting spot filled match. Signature/finishing moves from everyone involved. At the end of the match Storm Zero and Tessa Time for the 3 count.
We get another promo from Ronda Rousey. We see some clips of her training, then some clips from her time as a MMA fighter. Then her quick success in EAM Promotions. Ronda then talks about what defines a champion. That's a person who stands up and fight. A person that doesn't give up. Even tough he loses the very cause he or she is fighting for. Ronda is a true example of just that! And now, she feels stronger than ever. And she once again want to have gold between her fingers. She also wants to add another token to her already stacked list of accomplishments, records and medals. And that is, The EAM Center of Attention Championship!
Another Jax/Ronda down the line could be fun.
We cut to the ring for our main event of the night, who was announced last week, will be Melina Perez taking on Asuka. Melina makes her way to the ring first, getting massive booo's from the audience. She then tell everyone to shut up and listen when a living legend are going to talk. She then goes on about how she really didn't have time to be here tonight, but...she is a woman of her words, and she always back up her claims. " So Asuka, get your filthy yellow ass down to the ring so I can mop the canvas with it. And bring Jade with you! "
Wow racism lol. Don’t want Melina in too big a spot since she’s much older now.
Singles Matchup
Melina Perez Vs Asuka w/Jade Chung
Asuka dominates most of the match, but after a while, Melina gets tired of it and chokes Asuka on the ropes, DQing herself, not releasing the hold before the referee's five count. Jade makes her way into the ring to help Asuka, only to find herself in the grip of Melina. Wheelbarrow Facebuster from Melina to Chung! Melina sends a message!
Keeps both strong.
As the show is about to end, the scene cuts and suddenly we find ourselves as a fly on the wall. As we get aware of the surroundings, we can now see that we are in the house of none other than Emil A. and Mickie James. We are in their living room! The fireplace is lit, and Mickie are cuddled in a blanket on the sofa drinking some hot beverage and reading a book. Not far away, Emil A. are sitting in his study. Currently writing on something. A novel? We can see the name of the chapter that he's currently on. " Broken Bonds " Is it a fiction, or a biography? A book about EAM? Mickie asks him something, but he does not respond right away. He's in his own world right now. Mickie gets up and walks up to him. And Now he pops out of his bubble. As Mickie always has that affect on him. He always gives her 100% attention. At every awake hour. Mickie asks him if there is something bothering him. He shakes his head and gives her a kiss. He says it's only a passage on this book. It's not easy to remember it all. Besides, it's not a part of the book he's really comfortable talking about to Mickie either. Mickie asks why, and Emil tells her that it's the part of the story where nothing worked. Rating went down. Business went down. The accidents. Travis....and....Jillian. Mickie place herself in Emil's lap, kissing him, telling him that he should not worry so much about the past. He should look forward. Didn't he always say he looked forward to retire? Only he and Mickie, on a carribean beach somewhere? Emil smiles and says, that sounds wonderful honey. When? .....
Wiooah huge. Awesome promo could see it. Interesting book wonder if it is connected to what will happen and retirement surely not?. Who would take over?. Huge for sure. Wonder if anything will happen at the PPV
