LIVE . . . FROM FOXBORO, MASSACHUSETTES. . . IT'S TIME FOR . . . BATTLE QUEENS!!!! We go live to Lauren Brooke at ringside.
Lauren introduces the former UWF women's world champion Lita, who comes out to a deafening reaction .... The fans give her a standing ovation, and even the announcers and the rest of the Battle Queens staff stand and applaud .... It takes a few minutes to die down ....
Lita cuts a promo about being the longest reigning world champion in history, and she is not looking for any excuses as to why she lost the belt .... You face someone enough times and eventually they will find a way to beat you ....
She is interrupted by the Valkyrie led by Unites States champion Madison Rayne .... Rayne says that Lita is yesterday's news. She isn't the champion anymore and now she doesn't matter . . . Only thing that made her relevant was that belt and she doesn't have it anymore . . . Madison is the only one that matters because she has the most prestigious women's title in the world . . . She has the gold and she is the future . . . Madison beat Melissa last week, the so-called No. 1 contender, and now there is no one left in Battle Queens for her to beat . . .
Enter Jessicka Havok to a great reaction . . . Havok is a total anti-hero, and she has developed a Stone Cold-like cult following . . . Havok quickly reminds Madison that she hasn't beaten her yet . . . She hasn't beaten her because Madison is afraid to face her . . . Havok has vowed to take Valkyrie down, and when she takes the US Women's title from Madison that will be the first step . . . They are interrupted as out comes the Knockout Champion Cheerleader Melissa! Melissa tells them not to jump the gun . . . She got screwed over last week when she obviously had Madison beat . . . Plus last week was non-title, so she wants her one on one shot for the United States title . . . Not to be outdone, out comes one of Battle Queen's fastest rising stars, Paige! Paige says that she has been beating her head against the proverbial 'glass ceiling' here in Battle Queens, and now it is time for her to break through!
This segment has gone on way too long, and out comes Battle Queens general manager Karen Angle to put a stop to it. They all have valid claims, and she is in search of a new challenger for Madison Rayne. Therefore, tonight they are going to have a 'Beat the Clock' challenge . . . The winner gets the United States title shot against Madison Rayne next week!!!!
IN THE BACK - Pamela Paulshock is with the Bella Twins, Nikki and Brie . . . They talk about beating the Hotties last week, and Nikki says that they should be the ones getting the tag title shot tonight. They want to make sure that they get a shot at the winners of tonights match . . . The Bellas are interrupted by Allysin Kaye & Taylor Made, collectiely known as Made in Sin . . . Made in Sin want to let the Bellas in on a secret, and that is that Valkyrie are the ones that call the shots around here . . . They are the ones that make the rules . . . If the Bellas want to see how to make a real impact, then they need to keep their eyes on Valkyrie . . . Match 1: Beat the Clock challenge match 1:
Reby Sky

Santanna GarrettThis is a hot opener between 2 up and comers here in BQ. The fans are split on who to cheer for, and the action goes back and forth.

Eve Torres w/ Gina CaranoFor the most part this match is one on one with no interference from Carano. Rousey dominates for the most part, but Torres continues to escape before Rousey can put her away. Carano interferes, which leads to Rousey going aftrer her and allows Torres to get in a cheap shot. Torres can't put Rousey away either, but Rousey fires back and nails Torres with a belly to belly suplex. Rousey locks on the cross-arm breaker and gets the tap out victory in 9:55, becoming the new leader in the Beat the Clock challenge.
Carano enters the ring as Rousey has her hand raised, and then lays her out with a big roundhouse kick as she turns around. By virtue of Rousey's win, Reby Sky is eliminated . . .

LOVE and Michelle are on the defensive for most of the match, but they target Maxine's injured knee and work it over, allowing them to gain control of the match. Melina gets the hot tag and comes in a house of fire, taking out both the tag champs . . . From here the battle goes back and forth and at one point all 4 ladies are going at it . . . There is a ref bump, and with the ref down the Fatales manage to hit the Snapshot on Candice. Melina has the pin but there is no one there to count the fall . . .

'LitaThis is obviously the match of the night. For months, BQ fans have been salivating over this possible matchup, and now they have it with a shot at the US womens title on the line. The two meet in the middle of the ring and start slugging it out, and for a while neither woman cares about the title shot, all they care about is beating the hell out of each other . . . Lita has an obvious chip on her shoulder after just losing the world title, and she takes the fight to Havok. Havok, meanwhile, holds her own as the 2 brawl outside the ring and onto the ramp. We rapidly approach the time to beat and neither woman has gained a clear advantage. Lita catches Havok with a tornado DDT, but can't put her away.

The ref announces the time of the match as 9:49, beating the previous mark by a mere 2 seconds!!!! Paige is eliminated, and Jessicka Havok has won the Beat the Clock Challenge! She will face Madison Rayne for the United States title next week! Lita pulls herself up, and she and Havok are face to face in the middle of the ring. Lita extends her hand to Havok, and the fans are on their feet in approval. Havok stares down at Lita's hand, and then looks around at the people. She starts to reach out, but as she does she is nailed from behind by Madison Rayne! Rayne has the US title belt, and she KO's Lita as well!!!! Havok and Lita are both laid out as Madison stands over them holding the United States title as the show ends.
