Location: Dallas, Texas
The show opens up and the cameras pan around the sold out American Airlines Center......
Where we even see "Hangman"Adam Page sitting at ringside.....
Jim Ross: "Hello once again wrestling fans and welcome to this weeks Summer Sizzler tour as we are back home in Dallas, Texas. We have our friends over at Windy City Wrestling joining us tonight and we plan on bringing you one Hell of a show, headlined by the huge return match...... as the challenger, Hulk Hogan will try to regain the IWA World title from Ric Flair! But right now, we are going to start things off with this great contest!" Match One: Britt Baker vs Carmella They start with some nice back and forth as Carmella and Britt seemed to be mirroring each other, before Carmella backed off from a superkick attempt. Carmella edges ahead when she ran Baker into the ring post, as the match spilled outside with Carmella not exactly getting in the crowd’s good graces. A lungblower out of the corner gets Carmela near-fall as she continued to club away on Baker’s back, only to get rocked with a superkick. Forearms continue to rock Carmella who fought back in kind as this turned into a slugfest. Carmella lands a cutter to put Baker down ahead of a crushing back senton that Baker really struggled to kick out. Referee checks on Baker as Carmella took her time… and it nearly backfired as Baker managed to haul her up for a Falcon arrow for a near-fall.
A modified double chicken wing slam from Carmella has Baker rocked, before a lungblower off the top, 1.....2..... with Britt getting a hand to the ropes just in time. That pissed off Carmella who went in with a clothesline, before a rolling elbow and a Destroyer left Britt down. From there, Carmella goes to the top rope.....she dives off and Baker moves out of the way as Carmella crashes into the mat. Baker pulls Carmella into The LockJaw!! Carmella tries fighting out but has no choice to tap out, giving Britt the submission victory.
As the replay is being shown, Gene Okerlund joins Baker in the ring......
Gene Okerlund: "OHHHHH MY!! Impressive victory for Britt Baker here tonight over the number four ranked contender, Carmella. But I want to touch on a couple of other things right now Britt Baker..... we've all heard the news..... as Chris Jericho has stated that he and he alone has signed the match for his Wrestle Rager cruise..... it will be you against Asuka inside Hell in a Cell for the IWA Womens world title! Britt Baker: "The fact of the matter is that Eric Bischoff, the WCW, NWA, AEW.....all of them.....dropped the ball in making this match happen! So if Jericho can make it happen, why wouldnt I take the match? Everyone knows I had Asuka beat in our I Quit match. It's not my fault that Asuka no speak da English and the ref couldnt translate her quitting. So go ahead.... put us inside the cell..... put us in a subway for all I care. But my destiny awaits..... and after Hell in a Cell... i will be the IWA Womens world champion!" Gene Okerlund: "What about the comment Jericho made to you..... that if you needed The Inner Circle, you knew how to find them? Are you joining the Inner Circle?" Britt Baker: "Ohhhh George.... your so cute!" Baker then leaves the ring leaving Okerlund without an answer to his question.
