PCW Phase Thirty-Four: The Goblet of Fire
UIC Pavilion
Priscilla Kelly vs Rachael Ellering
After the murder attempt on Jenny Blake from last week, Priscilla came into the ring confident and ready, licking her lips in anticipation for what she had in store for Ellering.
Rachael came out fearless, running down the ramp to take on Kelly head on, but once again, before her opponent could reach the ring, Priscilla jumped at Ellering with a risky tope suicida, bringing Ellering towards the ring post and slamming her head against it a few times until blood started coming out of Rachael's forehead.
After licking the blood, Priscilla shoved Ellering inside the ring, jumping in after her and landing with a powerful elbow, pinning her shortly after, laying on her for a while and slowly stroking her hair and looking at the camera while taking another lick off her face.
Ashley Voxx vs Penelope Ford
After her tag match loss, Ashley Vox came into the ring decided to gather three points or die trying, and her first opponent on her ladder to championship contention was Penelope Ford.
The bad girl was already waiting for Vox inside the ring, leaning against her corner and blowing bubblegum, which she popped right on Ashley's face before the match started. The sea star tried grounding Ford from the start, but the former cheerleader surprised her with high kicks and cartwheeling into a leaping hip attack on her cornered opponent.
Unfortunately for Vox, this wasn't the same Penelope she'd faced as part of the Blonde Ambition duo previously. Her fighting style resembled more a brawl than it did an acrobatic display, and it showed as she knocked Vox unconscious for the three-count.
Ricochet vs Sami Callihan
Ricochet and Callihan came out to the ring, but just before the bell rung, Sami slapped Ricochet so audibly that it seemed the whole audience had gone silent. They started fighting, rolling off the ring and throwing each other against the barricade, the announcers' table and the apron.
The strong moves and dangerous looking bumps came one right after the other, barely giving the crowd time to recover from gasping when they were already going into the next move. Derranged, more than usual, Callihan put Ricochet through an apron piledriver, dragging his body towards the center of the ring and forcing the referee to count instead of checking on the other wrestler.
Sami Callihan got his first point, but not without taking down 'Chet in the process, yelling "This is just the beginning!" when he received his first point.
Kelly vs Braun Strowman
Absolutely undeterred, Kelly waited for her opponent, stretching and jumping, ready for the fight of a lifetime. Braun walked towards the ring, walking over the third rope just to show off his imposing size, but Killer Kelly continued just as if her match was with someone her size.
Surprisingly, the match started pretty even, Kelly's positioning for suplexes was absolutely perfect, picking up the weight by setting up the right height on her waist holds, and the way she conducted herself around the ring against the monster among men had the audience behind her the whole match.
However, strength came out victorious over technique, and with a few swift throws, powerbombs and a suplex for good measure, Braun Strowman's hand was raised at the end of the match, but that didn't mean he didn't look surprised even as he left the ring, when Kelly started to stand up after the rough punishment she went through.
She got on hands and knees, ready for more, but had to be informed that the match had ended.
Jay Lethal (With Taeler Hendrix) vs Austin Theory
Jay and Taeler came down the ramp slowly and without flashy displays, with Hendrix staying at ringside for most of the match while Theory and Lethal went at it, both performers putting on a hell of a show and laying it all on the line. This could be the end of Lethal's three points and the start of Theory's rise towards championship contention.
The match became more and more even as the minutes went by, and Taeler grew more and more impatient as well, even if the match was tilting slightly on Jay's advantage.
She stepped into the ring, almost violently pushing Jay out of the way to pull Theory to her, kissing him long and passionate until he was just standing there, body swaying from side to side trying to find his footing.
Lethal was as confused as he was upset for that moment, but following Hendrix's instructions, it was enough with a little push for Austin to fall to the mat, allowing Jay for an easy pin. He received his fourth point, and Taeler looked smug and confident, even despite the booing of the audience.
Allysin Kay vs Chad Lail (PCW Championship Match)
Allysin and her taped limbs made their entrance first, she stretched and readied herself for her match, but took to the opposite corner to lean over the rope, watching the announcers' table from her position, having a little staredown with Mike Quackenbush while Chad Lail made his way to the ring, something that Mike had to point out for her to look back into the ring, almost getting into a full-on screaming fight with the champion to get back to the match.
With all the injuries and with how much she'd defended her championship, facing Lail again when he already knew her weaknesses, the match almost seemed like it was going to go in Chad's favour, but Allysin's resilience and partially her resentment for how many times she'd had tricks thrown her way, helped her retain her championship, which she flaunted again by leaning on the ropes, showing it directly at the company's owner, who just stood up and moved closer to the ring, climbing on the apron in one swift jump to stand face to face with her.
