Hania vs Indigo Kelly
Dog Collar Match
Both women were locked into the collars. Taya’s variation of the match had a key hanging high above that’ll help them escape. First to do so would win.

The she-wolf drops to her knees and Indigo follows up with a knee to the face. She uses the collar to drag Hania towards the corner and force her up.

Blanchard ducks in time and connects with a kick to the gut. She drops Kelly on the mat with a hammerlock DDT. Both women are down. Tessa is the first to recuperate and slowly stands.

Blanchard slowly stands and Priscilla goes for the slingblade into the pin. Tessa still gets her shoulder up despite the interference. Rhea continues to look on as Kelly tries for a knee drop. Blanchard rolls out of the way to the ropes. She slowly stands and races forward with the cutter. She hooks the leg, but Kelly kicks out. Tessa locks eyes with Rhea, making sure the blonde was watching as she makes the climb again. Rhea looks like she’s going to attack again, forcing Tessa to pause and stand her ground halfway up. She mouths off to Ripley and it costs her as Kelly is up and mists Tessa. Blanchard is taken down from the top and Priscilla locks in Trapped in Sin.

Scarlett stumbles back and Breeze springboards off the ropes with a dropkick to the chest. Scarlett is down and he hooks the leg, but she kicks out before the count of one.
Tyler sits her up and kicks the back before stomping on the hand. Scarlett tries to create some space, kicking at his hands as he tries to grab her legs. He has her by one leg and drops the knee down onto it before trying to bend the ankle. Bordeaux doesn't tape out and kicks her free leg into the back of his head. Breeze is stunned and Scarlett gets behind him with a backstabber.
Scarlett hooks the leg, but he kicks out at one. She quickly ties up the arms and legs within each other, so that Breeze is stuck, and slams his ass with a smirk. Tyler is still trapped as Bordeaux connects with a double footstomp to the back for another cover. He kicks out at two. At this point, a buzzer sounds and Bordeaux looks up as the ceiling opens.
The first weapon was coming down.
The fans all stare in awe as Bordeaux climbs the turnbuckle to retrieve the first item: a paddle. Scarlett looks it over with a malicious grin as Tyler tries to stand to his feet with the ropes. She quickly swings the wooden against his ass multiple times, practically spanking the champion until he rolls out of the ring and onto the floor. Bordeaux starts to laugh as she makes a mockery of Tyler Breeze.
"That wasn't too sexy for ya, was it!?"
She shouts from the ring before slowly swaying her hips and dipping down to the floor. Breeze shakes his head, a deep frown on his face before stepping onto the apron.
Scarlett allows him to step back in, but she still had bad intentions with the paddle. She aims for his head this time, but Tyler ducks under it and trips her up by the legs. He puts his feet in the back of the knees and grabs the arms before dropping back into a submission hold. Scarlett refuses to tap out, but her screams of agony were all too convincing that she just might. Breeze snickers with glee, stretching out the arms of the blonde.
He finally lets her go, but only to take the paddle and start swinging down on the back. He then forces her up by the hair and uses the paddle around the neck to choke her.
The buzzer sounds again and another weapon was coming down.
Tyler shoves Scarlett down to the mat and races up the turnbuckle for the next weapon: an extension cord.
Breeze looks on in confusion at first but finally smiles as he wraps the blonde's hands within the cord. He drags her over to the corner and ties her into the second turnbuckle before kicking the back of the head into the corner. Scarlett is dazed as Tyler races forward with a dropkick to the backside, shoving Bordeaux headfirst into the steel.
She slinks out of the ring, but her hands remained tied and she could barely stand on the floor. Tyler slides out and begins kicking the woman in her torso as she remains trapped against the ring post. He slams her face into it before finally unravelling the cord. Instead, he puts it around her neck to choke her. Scarlett gasps for air, trying to reach for something--anything--to help her.
She eventually uses the ring post to step up and push back against him. They crash into the barricade and Scarlett is set free. They both stand at the same time and Scarlett chops him in the chest. Breeze retaliates with a chop of his own. They go back and forth with Bordeaux getting the upper hand as she ducks, sending Tyler's chop into the ring post. Scarlett turns him around and hooks him for a snap suplex to the floor. Scarlett forces him up and sends him back into the ring for the pin. She only gets a two count.
The buzzer sounds off again and she races to the top for it.
The third item: a mirror.
Bordeaux jumps down from the corner and grabs Tyler by the hair. She forces him to look at his reflection with a grin. "You see that!? This is the reflection of a five, a half-assed champion, and a loser!" She slaps him across the face with the mirror, the glass cracking against his face. Tyler rolls around in agony, small cuts being made to his right cheek as Scarlett admires herself in the broken mirror.
She catches his reflection and Breeze has crawled into the corner. Bordeaux puts the mirror away for now and races forward with a hip attack, following up with a stinkface to the champion. She forces him out of the ring for yet another pin, but he kicks out. Bordeaux slams her fist on the mat before slamming his face down multiple times. She gets him up by the arm and whips him into the corner.
The blonde races forward with a splash, but he sidesteps her and races in with an elbow attack. Breeze then climbs to the top as she stumbles from the corner, but she has it scouted and knocks his leg from under him. Tyler drops back down on the top turnbuckle and Scarlett follows up with an Iconoclasm. Tyler is brought down hard to the mat and she hooks both legs, putting all her weight on his chest. One...two...--Tyler still kicks out. She mounts him and rains down fist after fist in fury.
She rolls out of the ring for the extension cord and slides back in. She folds the cord before slinging it down upon him multiple times like a whip.
We seen this before with Tessa, but Scarlett was also using the plug-in portion of the cord, leaving behind huge, red marks to the torso and back. She tosses it aside before yanking Tyler up to his feet. She knees him in the gut before setting him up for the Canadian Destroyer. Tyler battles back and flips her up and over onto the mat. He stumbles into the corner to recuperate. As she stands, he races forward and catches her with a float over DDT to the mat. He hooks the leg, but she kicks out at two.
Tyler grabs the mirror she had earlier and positions it on the mat before forcing her up. He then drop her for yet another DDT to the glass, shattering it completely now. Cuts lined her forehead as the champion hooks the leg. One...two...thr--the challenger is still alive as she gets the shoulder up.
The buzzer went off again.
Tyler awaits the next weapon: his very own selfie stick.
The champion couldn't help, but laugh as she grabs the stick and makes his way to Scarlett. He lifts her head and takes a selfie of her barely conscious face with him grinning beside her. He then slams her face down before using the stick as a weapon. He swung it down again and again on the back before tossing it aside. Breeze brings her to her feet and whips her into the ropes.
Scarlett rebounds and catches him with a kick to the chest. She quickly follows up with codebreaker. Tyler stumbles back into the ropes and Scarlett chops his chest before rebounding off the ropes again for a big boot. He spills over onto the floor. Bordeaux doesn't stop there, climbing up high in the corner. She leaps off with a crossbody as she stands and they both plummet to the floor. The blonde gets to her feet first and forces him up by the arm.
She tries to push him back into the ring, but he elbows her back before trying to evade her. Scarlett catches up to him and grabs his hair, but Breeze brings his boot up from behind, kicking her in the crotch. While it is smoother in that area, the shit still hurts and Scarlett let it be known as she drops to her knees. Breeze quickly wraps his arms around the waist and lifts her up for a powerbomb against the apron. Tyler shoves her into the ring for the cover, but it's only a two count. He drags her to the corner and sets her up in the tree of woe. He races forward for the dropkick and she lifts herself up in time.
Tyler connects with the turnbuckle and Scarlett jumps off with a double sitout hip drop to the chest. She drags Tyler out for the pin, but he refuses to stay down. Bordeaux is starting to lose it as she the championship continues to evade her. Breeze rolls out onto the apron as Scarlett is struggling to keep her composure. She follows him to the apron and forces him up to his feet. She sets him up and plants him with the Canadian Destroyer onto the apron, but no! He rolls out onto the floor. Scarlett desperately tries to get him up and eventually rolls him back in for the pin. One...two...thr--Breeze is still in this with the shoulder up.
That was it. She had enough.
The buzzer sounds again and Scarlett accepts it almost too eagerly.
The final weapon: the sledgehammer.
She takes it and drags the heavy tool towards the champion before bringing it down against the ribs. Tyler wails in pain. She does it again as he turns over, striking his back. She drops to the hammer and forces him up, looking for the Scarlett Letter, but he doesn't let her get it. Tyler fights his way out and desperately crawls into the corner. Scarlett races forward and gets another hip attack in the corner. She forces him up to his feet and lifts him up high. She looks to get another Iconoclasm, but Tyler kicks the back of her head.
He gets her with an elevated stunner and hooks the leg. One...two...t--Scarlett kicks out. Tyler is clutching his ribs in pain, but he forces himself to stand to his feet. She gets to her feet, as well, and they start to trade blows back and forth until Bordeaux kicks him in his crotch now. He drops to his knees and Scarlett gets the meteora to the back of the head. She doesn't go for the pin just yet. She gets the sledgehammer again. She looks to use it against him and raises it up high. Tyler sees it coming and manages to narrowly roll out of the way. He trips her up and uses the ropes to stand. Scarlett gets to her feet and Tyler finally executes the Beauty Shot, crawling into the cover. One...two...three! Tyler retains his championship!
He is handed the title and celebrates as Scarlett is still coming to. She slowly stands with the help of the referee and stares Tyler down as she leans against the ropes. Breeze stares back and the two do nothing for a moment. Tyler finally holds his hand out to her and she reluctantly shakes his before raising his hand up high. Bordeaux exits the ring and makes her leave, but Breeze wasn't alone for long.
Phil Jackal makes his way down with a grin and a mic. "Sorry, sorry! I don't mean to ruin the celebration. I just had to come let you know the news. You see... Taya thought she could screw me, but I talked to Mike. We had a really long conversation with her and we decided that my prize? Would be a championship match of my choosing and Tyler? You're on my radar. Now don't worry. I won't cash that in tonight because I want you at your best, but you need to be looking over your shoulders."
Jackal paused for a moment and looked past Tyler. "Literally..." Jackal drops the mic and Tyler turns around in confusion, only to be booted down by Killer Kross. He drags Tyler to his feet and drops him with the Doomsday Saito. Breeze lies unconscious on the mat as Kross stands over his body. He kicks the championship aside, focused only on the man who killed him just a month ago.
