LOCATION: Los Angeles, California ARENA: Globe Theater ANNOUNCER: Tom Phillips & Cindy Rogers TV: YouTube

* * * This is a much smaller venue, and has a studio wrestling setup similar to NWA Powerrr * * *

Show starts with a heavy recap of Heavy recap on the ‘Battle of Los Angeles’ .... Toni Storm won the first BOLA tournament and is the new RISE Phoenix champion .... Toni will be here later .... they move on to discuss the BIG angle of the show, which was Charlotte returning and attacking Ronda Rousey during her world title match with Asuka ....

Charlotte comes out to a monster reaction .... She says of course she comes out first because she is the most important part of this show .... Charlotte says she sat home in a neck collar for 6 months after what Rousey did to her in PROGRESS, waiting to do to Rousey what she did at BOLA .... That is Ronda’s receipt but, make no mistake, ‘we’ve only just begun’ .... Charlotte tells Eric Bischoff that he needs to get out his check book and write Rousey a bigger check to get her back to RISE so they can finish what they started .... she says it will be worth every penny because they will give him the biggest draw in women’s wrestling ....

Charlotte leaves the podium as Sasha Banks & Bayley come out, and they lock eyes as Banks & Bayley walk her headed toward the ring .... they stop for a moment as they lock eyes ....



Becky Lynch comes out with a chair and attacks Banks & Bayley for the finish as the ref throws the match out ....

POST MATCH: Becky takes the mic as Sasha & Bayley retreat .... Becky says Banks & Bayley are the reason that Tessa beat her at BOLA, so Tessa can thank them for this ass whoopin she’s about to hand out .... She cost Tessa the title but that don’t make them even .... they ain’t even and they ain’t gonna be even .... Becky says she stands alone and always has, and she’s out here by herself right now .... And she will take out Valkyrie BY HERSELF .... Tessa comes out on the ramp and Becky dares her to come in the ring but she won’t ....


AT THE PODIUM -

Mia Yim comes out to the podium .... tonight it’s her and a partner vs. Valifornia .... She has a special partner, but she isn’t ready to reveal it yet .... they will have to wait until later ...



POST MATCH: Jessicka Havok’s music hits!  Havok comes out to the ring and backs Jinny into the corner, getting real close to her face to face as Jinny closes her eyes and braces for the hit .... Havok backs up and let’s her go!  Jinny runs for it as Havok turns her attention to AJ and lays her out with a choke slam ....


Cindy Rogers brings out brand new RISE Phoenix champion Toni Storm .... Toni gets a great reaction .... She talks about how she is going to be a fighting champion and won’t turn down any challenges .... Standard ‘fighting champion’ promo here ....

Deonna Purazzo is out now.  The only reason Toni is the champion is because of Becky Lynch, and because Deonna was not in BOLA .... Toni reminds her she is the reason Purazzo wasn’t in the tournament ....  Purazzo says she’s happy because she knows she’s better than Toni and it’s only a matter of time before she takes the belt .... Toni says if Deonna wants to try, then how about tonight? .... We’ve got a match!



This match stems from recent issues between the A-List and Candice & Johnny and the Stampede Bulldogs .... Bayond tag team champions Miz and Morrison are at ringside and get involved, leading to Candice hitting a suicide dive to the floor on both of them .... they catch her and toss her into the front row, taking Candice out of the match .... Nattie is distracted, allowing Taya to grab her from behind and hit the Road to Valhalla for the pin ....

POST MATCH: The heels leave as Jessicka Havoks music hits AGAIN!  Havok comes out and passes by the A-List, and Miz & Morrison sell it by looking like they are scared of Havok .... the group go out of their way to avoid Havok as she stares at them, then she goes to the ring .... Goozle to Nattie, then she plants her with the choke slam!  Candice is back in and stands toe to toe with Havok, unleashing rapid fire forearm strikes .... Havok no sells them and takes Candice out with a big boot .... Candice avoids the corner splash and comes off the top with a cross body but Havok catches her in mid-air .... TOMBSTONE! .... Havok goes to the podium and says it’s real simple: Havok kills bitches and from now on everybody dies ....


Asuka’s music hits and she comes out .... Havok walks by her and stops, and they lock eyes .... Havok looks at the world title and smiles, and says ‘soon’ .... she walks off as Asuka continues to the podium ....

Asuka cuts a promo and she talks about the match with Ronda Rousey at BOLA .... At the end of the night, Asuka is still champion .... she also has unfinished business with Tessa for the chair shot that left her with 10 staples in her head ....  So she will be watching next week when Becky fights Tessa because Tessa isn’t ready for Asuka ....



Yim brings out the debuting Thunder Rosa as her surprise partner.  However, it’s a setup as Thunder Rosa turns on Yim and refuses to tag in, revealing that she has signed with SoCal Val as part of Valifornia .... Rose & Deville hit the ‘Valifornication’ (dual V-trigger knees) on Yim and take her out for the pin ....

Thunder Rosa, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville all leave together ...



Tessa Blanchard comes out and interferes in the match, attacking Toni Storm ....


POST MATCH: Toni battles back against Tessa and they brawl .... Purazzo comes in and nails Toni from behind, then Purazzo & Tessa stare each other down .... then Purazzo smiles and Tessa tosses her a Valkyrie T shirt and Deonna puts it on!  Purazzo then turns and attacks Storm, ramming her shoulder into the ringpost and then slapping on the crowbar .... as Purazzo cranks away, Tessa holds the Phoenix title up in Toni’s face and says ‘This belongs to me!’

Here comes Becky Lynch with a chair!!!!  Becky hits the ring, and Tessa and Purazzo immediately high-tail it to the back .... Next week it’s Becky vs. Tessa!
