Mauro Ranallo and Reby Sky are ringside as Battle Queens is back on YouTube tonight for the 2015 Queen of the Ring! Tonight 20 women will do battle for the crown, and we also have the much anticipated return of US women's champion Jessicka Havok as she defends against top prospect tournament winner Sasha Banks .... Is Havok's 18 month title reign in jeopardy????
They send it up to ring announcer JoJo as we are ready to get the action kicked off ....
JoJo wants to give a special welcome to the newest member of the Battle Queens roster .... GINA CARANO!
Carano comes out to a huge ovation .... The fans love her .... JoJo puts her over as the first face of women's fighting and a big movie star .... What brings Gina back to Battle Queens .... Gina says that she has never stopped training, and you never lose the itch to get in the ring or the cage and fight .... When she found out Battle Queens was returning, her people reached out to the ownership and the 2 sides came to a deal .... She has been training ever since .... She is going to be keeping a close eye on both matches here tonight, because in the end her main goal is to be a women's champion ....
Carano is interrupted by the arrival of Eve Torres .... Torres is no slouch herself, having trained with Gracie jujitsu for years and now being an instructor at the Gracie Women's Empowerment self-defense academy .... She is even married to Rener Gracie and trains from time to time with women's MMA and WOW star Ronda Rousey .... Torres comes out and cuts a promo on Carano, wondering why there is so much fanfare for her .... Torres says she isn't a fighter anymore, she is an actor that doesn't even do her own stunts .... She disgraced the Gracie name by leaving fighting for Hollywood ....
Of course Eve makes the mistake of getting in Carano's face, and Gina nails her with a right hand .... Eve tries to fight back, but Carano takes her down with an armbar! Eve quickly grabs the ropes and pulls herself outside the ring to escape .... Carano stares down Eve as she quickly makes her exit ....
PROMO - we get a highlight package for the U.S. Women's title match between Jessicka Havok and Sasha Banks .... Havok has dominated women's wrestling for nearly 2 years, while Banks has exploded onto the scene by winning the first ever women's top prospect tournamentHavok - 'For over 2 years now, I've proven that I am exactly what I said I am: the Death Machine .... I am the most dominant women in wrestling .... I destroyed Valkyrie .... I destroyed Madison Rayne .... And I destroyed the unbeatable aura surrounding Awesome Kong .... Yeah, I didn't get the job done at Wrestlemania, so what? That's on me .... And now all these bitches want to talk shit on Twitter and say that Jessicka Havok is done .... Sasha Banks? Who the fuck are you? You win one little tournament and think you can take the most dominant female in wrestling? You'll be lucky to walk out of that ring alive tonight .... Because Jessicka Havok kills bitches .... And it's been awhile ....'Banks - 'The Boss is here in Battle Queens and you already know that I'm kind of a big deal .... You see, Jessicka, I know all about your little injury .... I know why no one has seen or heard from you in a few months .... And I'll be real honest with you, I am gonna go right after it .... I'm not here to play nice, I'm here to take over and it starts at the top .... Jessicka Havok, sister, you might think you're scary with all your makeup and that haircut .... But deep down I know you're the one that's scared .... Scared of being replaced .... And tonight you will be replaced by the meanest, baddest, BEST diva in Battle Queens .... 'Bank' on that!'Banks makes her way out first, and there are surprisingly several pockets of fans that are cheering for her .... Then 'THIRD REICH FROM THE SUN' hits and the people are on their feet as the champion makes her way out .... Mauro and Reby talk about how dominant Havok has been, beating everyone from Lita to Allysin Kaye, to Madison Rayne and Beth Phoenix ....
UNITED STATES WOMENS TITLE: (Champion) Jessicka Havok - vs - Sasha BanksHavok starts the match pissed and she muscles Banks back into the turnbuckles and starts laying in with heavy shoulder blocks .... Havok misses a leg drop, and Sasha fires back with rapid fire forearms but Havok stops all that with a clothesline .... Havok charges but Sasha dodges and Havok goes through the ropes to the floor .... Sasha points to her head indicating that she outsmarted Havok .... Banks with a suicide dive but Havok catches her in mid-air and rams her back-first into the ringpost .... Havok hits a backbreaker, then stretches Banks out across her own knee .... Banks is taking a lot of punishment here .... She tries to escape outside the ring but Havok grabs her by the hair and pulls her up on the apron .... Banks grabs Havok's arm and drops it hard across the top rope, and now we see what Banks was talking about earlier: Havok's shoulder is still injured from her match with Kong at Wrestlemania .... Havok is heavily favoring the shoulder after that one move, and Banks goes right after it .... She ties Havok's arm up in the corner and then hits the running shotgun knees right to the injured shoulder .... Banks is relentless in her attack now .... Banks' work on the arm is brutal, but Havok rebounds with a big boot to the face .... Havok hits the leg drop, but she is basically working with 1 arm .... Havok grabs a bear hug on Banks, but Banks hammers the shoulder to break it up .... Banks hits the backstabber! 1 ... 2 ... No! Havok kicks out! Banks can't believe it! She drags her to the corner and lays her across the middle rope, then drops a double knee drop to the midsection! 1 ... 2 ... Noooo! Havok kicks out again! Havok says 'enough of this shit' and hits a spear on Banks out of nowhere .... Both ladies are down .... Havok throws Banks into the corner and starts hammering away with rapid-fire clotheslines to the chest! Havok scoops her up for the air raid crash but Banks slides off into a sunset flip .... Banks can't get Havok over and Havok reaches down and goozles Banks! She goes for the harlot slayer (chokeslam) but Banks with a roundhouse to the shoulder to break it up! Banks walks right into a full nelson slam from Havok! 1 ... 2 ... Banks kicks out! Havok goes for the rainmaker clothesline, but as she winds up Banks counters into a double-knee divorce court to the injured arm!!!! BANK STATEMENT ON HAVOK!!!! It's locked in deep, but Havok won't tap despite the intense pressure on her shoulder .... She struggles against the hold, but finally gets her feet on the ropes to break it! Banks can't believe it! Banks goes for the Bankrupt (straight jacket neckbreaker), but Havok gets free .... POP UP POWERBOMB!!!! Both ladies are down! The ref puts the count on them, and he reaches 7 ... 8 ... 9 ... Banks is to her feet .... She goes up top .... GOOZLE BY HAVOK! Havok Chokeslams her from the top rope to the mat! Havok grabs her arm and pulls Banks to her feet .... Winds her up .... RAINMAKER!!!! 1 ... 2 ... 3!!!!
Havok looks like she's gone through a war .... She can barely even move her arm .... Banks has to be helped up by the BQ trainers .... Havok retains the BQ title, but Banks looks like a million bucks in this match .... She definitely comes off like a star and has already established her place in the upper card here in Battle Queens ....
