LIVE . . . FROM HARTFORD, CONNETICUT . . . IT'S TIME FOR . . .  
　



　


BATTLE QUEENS!!!!



Show begins with a BIG highlight package from the UWF Women's All Star show live from the deck of the USS Intrepid . . . We see highlights of the Battle Queens representatives at the show, including The Hotties winning the Battle Queens tag team titles from the Femme Fatales after interference from Made in Sin . . . . In the women's US title match, Madison Rayne used interference by fellow Valkyrie teammate Ivelisse Velez to retain the US title against WLW's Nikki Nitro . . . . In the inter-promotional Battle Royal, two titans clashed as Awesome Kong and Jessicka Havok found themselves the final two entries left in the ring . . . . and in the main event, UWF world champion Lita turned back her toughest challenge to date as she pinned Beth Phoenix . . .



As the highlight package concludes, we go live to Lauren Brooke at ringside.  
　


Lauren recaps the highlights we just saw, talking about how Battle Queens made history by hosting the first all-womens UWF show, and now they will make history again on July 25th when they present the first ever International All-Women's show from London, England . . . Lauren brings out her guest for the opening segment, 1/2 of the former BQ tag team champions and former United States womens champion, Melina!  Melina comes out and gives an update on her injured partner Maxine, who was injured at the hands of the Hotties during the match.  She says that when her partner gets healthy, the Fatales will get their rematch against the Hotties for the BQ tag belts and, when they do, the Fatales will be the only 2-time BQ tag champs!!!!  But she really doesn't even blame the Hotties for what happened, because the Fatales would have done the same thing.  Who she really blames for what happened in Made in Sin for interfering in the match in the first place!    


On queue, the Valkyrie's music hits and out they come in force, led by United States Womens Champion Madison Rayne!  Madison tells Melina to leave the ring, because the most dominant force in women's wrestling runs this show.  She tells Melina to leave or the Valkyrie wil make her leave.  Of course, Melina stands her ground and won't leave, so the Valkyrie jump her and beat her down!  Melina gets laid out, and Made in Sin finish her off with the '8th Deadly Sin' (3D)!!!!



The Valkyrie toss Melina out of the ring, where she is tended to by ringside personnel.  Allysin Kaye takes the mic and says that on the last show she told Melina that the Fatales were the tag champions only because the Valkyrie allowed it.  At the Women's All Star show Made in Sin decided to STOP allowing it.  Madison Rayne takes the mic from Allysin, and she starts to cut a promo but she is interrupted by . . . .

. . . . JESSICKA HAVOK!!!!


Havok comes out on the ramp and calls out Allysin Kaye.  She says that Kaye can't hide behind the Valkyrie anymore and she wants her at the Battle Queens world tour in London.  Allysin refuses to accept the challenge . . . She says after what she did to her, she just expected Havok to go away.  Kaye cuts a promo on Havok, saying that Havok talks about the impact that she made on womens wrestling but she acts like she did it all alone . . . . who was right there with her the whole time?  Havok got all the credit for her meteoric rise, while it was Kaye that carried her the whole time.  She doesnt accept her challenge because she is done with her, both professionally and personally!!!!  Havok says that when Kaye turned on her at Queen of the Ring, their friendship was over with and Kaye became just another bitch . . . and you know Jessicka Havok will kill a bitch!!!!


Havok starts for the ring, and the Valkyrie are waiting.  Havok doesn't care, and she is going to take them all on, but Lita's music hits and the UWF world champion comes out to stand next to Havok to face the Valkyrie.  Havok DOES NOT like this one bit and she and Lita have words.  The discussion becomes heated . . . . THEN TURNS INTO A BRAWL BETWEEN LITA AND HAVOK!!!!  The Valkyrie watch on, laughing the whole time as backstage personnel come out and try to separate Havok and Lita.  It is chaos in our opening segment!!!!    



IN THE BACK - A limo pulls up the arena and Pamela Paulshock is there to meet it.  The door opens and out steps the new Battle Queens tag team champions The Hotties!  There are there tonight to defend their titles for the first time.  The limo is surrounded by a swarm of papparazzi that snap pictures of the new champs, and they pause for photographs . . . a few fans ask for photos and autographs, but LOVE and Candice blow them off and head into the arena . . . .



'Croatian Panther' Wesna Busic w/ Vickie Guerrero - vs - Audrey Marie


Vickie comes out with a TON of heat and says that she is back in Battle Queens.  She introdices her newest client, the 'Croatian Panther' Wesna Busic!  Vickie puts her over as a future United States Womens champion.  Likewise, Hannah and Ivory hype up Busic's debut, saying that she has worked in the past as a bodyguard for LOVE over in HLW.  Busic attacks Marie at the bell, and she is never really in the match.  Busic punishes Audrey and even toys with her for a few moments, then he finishes her off with the C4 for the 1-2-3.


IN THE BACK - Melina busts into Karen Angle's office in the back.  She is holding her neck from the earlier attack, but she demands a match against Allysin Kaye TONIGHT!  Karen doesnt want to do it because Melina isn't 100%, but Melina doesn't care.  She says that one way or another she will get her hands on Kaye tonight.  Karen reluctantly gives her the match.



Mickie James - vs - Cherry Bomb


This is a very competitive match and a star-making performance of sorts for Cherry Bomb against the more established James.  At several points during the match Cherry Bomb actually has James on the ropes and it looks like she might pull the upset, but Mickie survives every time.  After Mickie kicks out of the 'Cherry Popper' (X-Factor), she starts to tune up the band for the 'Best Super Kick Ever' . . . Mickie dodges and nails Cherry Bomb out of the nowhere with the 'Mick Kick'!  1 . . . 2 . . . Noooooo!  Cherry Bomb kicks out!!!!  Mickie looks frustrated, but she picks Cherry Bomb up and finishes her off this time with the Mickie DDT and gets the 3 count!



IN THE BACK - Paige is interviewed by Pamela Paulshock about tonight's match against Cheerleader Melissa for the Knockout title . . .  Paige says it is about time . . . She says that she has been trained to be a champion since she was 13 years old . . . That means she is not here to be a diva, she is here to be a fighter . . . She has beaten everyone that Battle Queens has put in front of her, and Melissa is one of the best technical wrestlers in all of womens wrestling . . . But none of that matters because last time they were in the ring Melissa barely escaped with her belt, and tonight her luck will run out . . .[/color



Allysin Kaye - vs - Melina


This match stems from the earlier altercation between Melina and Kaye . . . Melina jumps Kaye at the beginning and is a house of fire, beating Kaye down.  Kaye's tag team partner, Taylor Made, interferes in the match allowing Kaye to regain the advantage, but the referee expels Taylor from the ring so the match can be one on one.  Melina takes some punishment, but fights back as the fans rally behind her.  Kaye goes for the 'AK-47' (Hell's Gate), but Melina gets out of it and manages to hit the 'Last Call' (Leg trap sunset flip bomb)!  1 . . . 2 . . . Noooo!  Kaye kicks out!  Melina up top and hits a flying bodypress for another close 2, and she tries to finish her off with the 'Sunset Split'.  Kaye escapes and nails Melina with a stiff spinning back-fist!!!!  Melina is dazed, and she is easy prey for Kaye's cutthroat saito suplex that drops her right on her head!  Kaye covers and gets the 3 count!!!!



After the match, Kaye celebrates when suddenly the lights go out!  When they come back on, standing behind Kaye is JESSICKA HAVOK!!!!  Kaye turns around, and Havok knocks her on her ass with a hard slap!  Kaye is out there by herself and none of the Valkyrie are there to help her this time!  Havok locks on the Rings of Saturn and demands that Kaye accept her challenge or she will break her arm!  Kaye screams in pain . . . then accepts the challenge!!!!  We will now have Jessicka Havok vs Allysin Kaye at the World Tour show!!!!  The rest of the Vakyrie run out to the ring to make the save for Kaye, but Havok bails out before they can get to her.  



IN THE BACK - Lauren is with the BQ Knockout champion Cheerleader Melissa and she asks her about her title defense tonight against Paige.  Melissa says that Paige has been breathing down her neck for a while now, and tonight she gets her shot.  There is no doubt that Paige is a star in the making, and may very well be the future of Battle Queens.  But tonight she is not going to break through the glass ceiling, tonight she is going to run into a brick wall . . . and that wall is the Knockouts Champion Cheerleader Melissa!



Twisted Sisters (Jessie Belle & Izza Belle Smothers) - vs - Santana Garrett & Taeler Hendrix


The makeshift team of Hendrix and Garrett actually works very well together against the Smothers sisters.  The Sisters isolate hendrix for a good portion of the match, and she plays the 'face in peril', coming close to tagging only to be stopped just short.  Garrett finally gets the hot tag and hits the ring a house of fire.  She takes out both Smothers sisters, then sets up Jessie Belle for the 'Shining Star Press' but Izza Belle nails her from the apron when she comes off the ropes.  Hendrix wipes out Izza Belle with a dive outside the ring, but Jessie picks up Santana in the ring and nails a Gory Bomb for the 3 count to give the Smothers sisters the win.



IN THE BACK - Pamela Paulshock goes inside the Valkyrie locker room to get a word with Madison Rayne and Allysin Kaye after what happened earlier.  Kaye is nursing an injured shoulder, but it is Rain that steps up and tells Madison and Allysin that she will handle this.  Rain says that Jessicka Havok crossed the line earlier, and says that she may not make it to the World Tour show because she is going to take her out tonight!



Back in the arena, Erin Andrews is in the ring for a live segment of 'INSIDE BATTLE QUEENS' . . . Erin introduces her special guest, BQ General Manager Karen Angle . . .


Karen comes out and wants to introduce a special guest . . . . MMA star and UFC champion Ronda Rousey!!!!  Rousey comes out to a solid reaction from the crowd and she shakes hands with Karen.  Karen says that she has brought Rousey out here for a special annoucement, but before she can even make it she is interrupted by the 2nd appearance tonight of the Valkyrie!  Particularly United States Champion Madison Rayne!  Rayne comes out alone, and she cuts a promo and says that she had her own announcement to make earlier on, but she was rudely interrupted.  Now her spotlight is being hogged up by someone who doesn't even beong here!  She dogs out Rousey, saying that Rousey is standing in HER ring right now, and she is in HER world!  If Rousey was a wrestler, Rayne would destroy her in the ring because she is the most dominant womens wrestler in the UWF right now.  Not Lita, not Jessicka Havok . . . HER!  She has been ducked and looked over far too long.  She is the number one contender to the UWF world title, and she wants a title shot against Lita at the Battle Queens World Tour show in London!  


Karen says that before Madison rudely interrupted her she had an announcement of her own to make . . .  She announces that Ronda Rousey has signed an exclusive contract with Battle Queens!!!!  Rousey takes the mic and says that this is the 2nd time Rayne has gotten in her face.  The first time, she let it slide because she was just a guest here, but now she is a member of the Battle Queens roster . . .  If Rayne thinks she doesn't belong, and that she can 'destroy' her in the ring, then why don't they find out . . . TONIGHT!!!!  Madison goes white with fear, and she starts shaking her head 'no' violently.  Karen says that is a great idea.  Madison can have her title shot against Lita at the World Tour show, but tonight we will see the BQ debut of MMA sensation Ronda Rousey . . . AGAINST MADISON RAYNE!!!!



PROMO - A promo airs for the Battle Queens World Tour show . . . July 25th from the o2 Arena in London, England . . .


Battle Queens Tag Team Titles: (Champions) The Hotties (LOVE & Candice Michelle) - vs - The Pink Ladies (Madison Eagles & Jessie McKay)


The Hotties cut a promo at the start of the match about how they are back to dominate Battle Queens like they did before.  The Ladies are hearing none of it as they attack the champs and take the early advantage.  However, in typical Hottie fashion they take short-cuts to regain the advantage in the match and isolate Jessie McKay on their side of the ring.  Eagels is chomping at the bit to get in the ring and she finally gets the hot tag and cleans house.  The Ladies look like they are on the verge of winning the BQ tag belts, but Candice shoves McKay off the top rope all the way to the concrete floor!  This leaves Eagles to go at it alone, but even still she has Candice set up for the Hell Bound (Death Valley Driver onto knee).  LOVE is back in the ring and grabs Eagles from behind, rolling her up in a school girl and pulling the tights to get the 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!  The Hotties retain!  



IN THE BACK - Victoria is interviewed by Lauren Brooke in the backstage area.  Lauren asks her why she refused to make her debut in the interpromotional battle royal at the All Star show like she was scheduled to . . . Victoria says that she is one of the biggest stars in the history of women's wrestling.  She is one of the pioneers of the womens division in the UWF.  Why would she throw away her Battle Queens debut on some meaningless Battle Royal.  She deserves better than that and she wants to make her debut on the big stage at the World Tour show in London.  Karen Angle steps into the picture and she says that she has something that will make Victoria happy.  She can make her debut at the World Tour Show, and she will be facing someone else that will be making their Battle Queens debut.  At the World Tour show she will be facing . . . SARA DEL REY!



Jessicka Havok - vs - Rain


The ref is quick to send the Valkyrie to the back so it is one on one in this match.  Both ladies are very good, and they work very stiff with one another.  Rain is no slouch, and she actually controls Havok for a good part of the match.  Havok is too much of a beast though, and she reverses a huricanrana attempt by Rain into a sit out power bomb for a near fall.  Havok goes for the Demon Drop, but Rain slips off the back and nails a backstabber on Havok!  Rain goes up top, but Havok is back up and catches her . . .  SUPER PLEX!  Havok is in control . . . she scoops her up . . . DEMON DROP (Air Raid Crash)!!!!  1 . . . 2 . . . 3!!!!  Havok wins!!!!  


Allysin Kaye comes out on the ramp to stare down Havok, and she is still holding her shoulder from being trapped in the Rings of Saturn by Havok earlier.  Havok looks at her and gives her the throat slash



IN THE BACK - Lauren Brooke is with the UWF World Champion Lita.  Lauren recaps the World Tour so far, and how Lita has turned back the challenges of women like Beth Phoenix and Mercedes Martinez.  Lita stops her right there . . . She used to respect Mercedes, but not after she tried to take a shortcut by attacking her after their match on the HLW World Tour show.  Well, Mercedes has not seen the last of Lita because she made it personal.  As far as what happened earlier tonight, she could care less whether Jessicka Havok likes it or not, but they have a common enemy in the Valkyrie.  She is going to be watching Havok's back no matter what she says, and it is not because she likes Havok, it is because she hates the Valkyrie.  And as far as Madison Rayne goes, she accepts her challenge for a match at the Battle Queens World Tour show!



For the Knockout Title: (Champion) Cheerleader Melissa - vs - Paige


This match steals the show, and it is just as good if not better as their previous match.  Paige is SUPER over with the crowd at this point, even though she is going up against someone that the fans love as well in Melissa.  These two go all out from the opening bell, and neither lady can gain a clear cut advantage.  Melissa manages to catch Paige in an STF, ripping at the knee of Paige.  Where Paige worked on the knee of Melissa in their first match, this time Melissa targets the knee and wrestles the majority of the match on the ground.  Paige fights her way out of the hold, then goes on the offensive and takes Melissa down with a series of clotheslines.  Paige with a Lou Thesz press and then hammers Melissa with right hands, but Melissa shoves her off.  Paige pops up to her feet, but walks right into a spinning heel kick from Melissa.  Melissa up top, but Paige stops her and then climbs up and hits a top rope huricanrana!!!!  Paige hits the 'Knight Lite' (fisherwoman buster)!!!!  1 . . . 2 . . . Nooooo!  Melissa kicks out!  Paige hooks her for the Paige Turner, but Melissa reverses into a small package for a close 2!  Paige with a big roundhouse and she climbs up top . . . MISSES A MOONSAULT!!!! Melissa immediately goes for the Kudo Driver, but this time Paige blocks it and hits the Paige Turner!!!!  1 . . . 2 . . . Nooooooo!!!!  Melissa kicks out!!!!  Paige can't believe it!  Paige goes for the Paige Turner again, but Melissa reverses out of it . . . RIGHT INTO THE KUDO DRIVER!!!!  Both women are down and Melissa can't make the cover!!!!  She finally starts to strir, and she crawls over and lays an arm across Paige for the 1 . . . 2 . . . Noooooo!!!!  MY GOD PAIGE KICKED OUT OF THE KUDO DRIVER!!!!  Melissa drags Paige to her feet by the hair and gives the throat slash gesture . . .  She scoops her up for the Air Raid Crash, but Paige slips off the back and grabs Melissa in a German Suplex!!!!  Paige is exhausted and she is unable to fully bridge up, and her shoulders are down as well as Melissa's . . .  1 . . . 2 . . . 3!!!!  


Both ladies pop up and raise their arms thinking they have won the match.  But who won????  The ref tells the ring announcer that BOTH ladies shoulders were down for the 3 count, and as a result the match is ruled a draw and Melissa retains the Knockout title.  Paige takes the mic and says that this match can't end this way, and Melissa agrees.  She puts Paige over, and says that unless she can beat Paige she doesn't deserve to be the Knockout Champion.  Paige wants the match restarted, but Melissa has a better idea.  She challenges Paige to face her  at the Battle Queens World Tour show, and the winner will be the Knockout champion once and for all.  The 2 women shake hands and hug, and we have a match for the World Tour show.



Main Event: (United States Women's Champion) Madison Rayne - vs - Ronda Rousey


Rousey gets an enormous pop from the crowd as she makes her Battle Queens debut.  Madison is scared to death, and she should be.  Rousey goes after Rayne at the bell but Rayne runs from her every time she gets close.  When Rousey is able to get her hands on Rayen she takes her down like this is an MMA fight.  Rayne has to grab the ropes to break the hold every time.  Rousey finally gets her hands on Rayne and lights her up with body shots, but Rayne tries to escape to the outside again.  Rousey chases her around the ring and Rayne jumps her as she slides back in the ring.  Rousey fights back and nails a standing drop kick on Rayne!!!!  Rayne rakes the eyes and goes for the 'Off With Her Head', but Rousey blocks it and locks on a cross-arm breaker!!!!  The Valkyrie immediately hit the ring and jump on Rousey, giving the ref no choice but to call for the disqualification.


The attack continues after the bell rings, and it is a 5 on 1 assault on the UFC champion.  However, the crowd pops as out of the back runs the UWF champion Lita!!!!  Lita hits the ring and tries to make the save, but the numbers ganme is still too much and the Valkyrie beat her down too!!!!  Ivelisse and Rain hold Lita while Madison slaps her in the face . . . THE LIGHTS GO OUT!!!!  They come back on and Jessicka Havok is standing in the ring with a baseball bat!  Havok clears the ring and the Valkyrie head for higher ground!  Havok and Lita are in the ring, and Lita pulls herself to her feet and turns to face Havok . . . BUT HAVOK SCOOPS HER UP AND DRILLS HER WITH THE DEMON DROP!!!!  Jessicka Havok has laid out the UWF world champion!!!!  Havok and Rousey have an intense staredown, and Havok backs away and leaves the ring as Rousey is left standing . . .
