SHINE is back with another episode!  The cameras come up to the small, intimate setting of the venue at the Hard Rock Hotel &amp; Casino in New Jersey chanting ‘SHINE!  SHINE!  SHINE!’  The audience is right up close to the ring, creating the vibe of an old ECW show ….


We start in the ring as always with Charly Arnolt and Shine GM Sonya Deville already in the ring …. Charly brings the crowd up to speed ….

Deville starts off the show by saying she has a major announcement concerning the Shine tag team titles,  but before she can make it the music of Toxic Attraction hits to steal her thunder …. Mandy says all these internet incels know by now that Bayley is no longer part of the Shine roster …. So they are out here so Sonya can do the right thing and hand over the tag team titles to Toxic Attraction!

Deville says Mandy is right, Bayley is gone from SHINE …. But no one just gets handed anything while she is in charge l  Sonya says there will be a tournament for the titles, BUT THEN SASHA BANKS MUSIC HITS!  Sasha says NO!  She isn’t giving up the titles and she wants to fight!  Deville says “What are you going to do, fight them by yourself?” And Sasha says YES!  Deville says she can’t let her do that and Sasha says it’s happening whether she wants it or not; it’s either gonna happen in the ring or it’s gonna happen in the locker room!  It’s Deville’s choice …. Sasha leaves the ring and heads to the back, with Toxic Attraction yelling at Deville how could she let this happen!  





Match 1: ⅔ Falls Match:
Serena Deeb w/ SoCal Val vs. Molly Holly….

This is a rematch from SHINE #5 where Molly beat Deeb by DQ when (VAL)Kyrie got involved …. The UWF world tag champions Anna Jay &amp; Tay Conti are at ringside, and it doesn’t take them long to get involved but the ref sends them to the back …. This allows Molly to gain the first fall after hitting a Molly Go Round ….

Serena uses a distraction by SoCal Val to get a chop block on Molly, then she absolutely destroys her knee in the 2nd fall …. Molly battles back, but gets trapped in the Serenity Lock …. She fights it for a long time, maybe too long, but she is forced to tap out ….

The falls are even 1-1 as Molly battles back on basically one leg …. Molly hits a Molly Go Round but does more damage to her knee in the process and can’t make the cover …. SoCal Val tries to get involved again, but Molly grabs her …. This allows Deeb to capitalize with a rollup and then has a handful of tights to get the 3 count …. Deeb wins 2-1 ….





Match 2:  Killer Kelly &amp; Dakota Kai vs. The Bella Brand (Nikki &amp; Brie) ….

The Bella’s come out and talk about how they should be in line for a tag title shot because they keep winning …. Dakota Kai comes out and they laugh at her, saying they beat her last show …. Dakota has a new partner, making her SHINE debut …. KILLER KELLY!  




Kai and Kelly work very well together, but in the end they fall victim to ‘Twin Magic’, as Brie switches out with Nikki following Kai hitting the ‘GTK’ on Nikki …. When Kai picks Brie up, she rolls her into a small package for the 3 count to pick up the win for the Bella Brand ….


* * * * LOCKER ROOM SEGMENT * * * *

We get a promo via satellite from UWF world champion Rhea Ripley …. Ripley says (VAL)kyrie wanted to jump on her on the last SHINE show, so she challenges any member to face her on the next SHINE episode ….





Match 3: Lyra Valkyria vs. Meiko Satomura ….

This is the match of the night …. Satomura is brought in as a special attraction and treated like a big deal here, and Valkyria is someone SHINE is pushing as an emerging star ….

They battle for a long time with each woman throwing stiff shots …. Valkyria scores with a Pele kick seemingly taking the advantage, but as she goes up top for the Perepetia (top rope scissor kick), Meiko catches her and tries for a super-plex but Valkyria turns it into a sunset flip powerbomb!  Satomura comes back with a saito suplex, then lays in with stiff kicks …. Cartwheel double knees by Meiko gets a 2, but Scorpio Rising is avoided by Valkyria …. German suplex and Meiko bounces to her feet from the force of the move!  Valkyria with the spin kick ROCKS Meiko, then she goes to the top and hits the Perepetia to get the impressive win!

Both women bow to each other post match, and shake hands to a ‘THAT WAS AWESOME!’ chant ….


* * * * LOCKER ROOM SEGMENT * * * *

We get a backstage promo from Deonna Purazzo where she talks about how AJ Lee didn’t beat her at Zero Hour …. Deonna isn’t going to accept the challenge Rhea Ripley laid out earlier tonight, because what she wants is a one on one match with Lee for the MLW women’s title …. Instead, it’s gonna be Serena Deeb that faces Ripley, and Deonna calls out AJ for an in-ring showdown  ….





Match 4:  Roxanne Perez,  Mia Yim &amp; Willow Nightengale vs. Tennille Dashwood, Julia Hart &amp; Indi Hartwell….

Fun little 6 woman tag match here that sees teammates turn on each other as Julia accidentally sprays the mist in the eyes of Tennille …. After the miscommunication, Indi Hartwell walks out on her teammates leaving Julia to get double teamed by Perez and Willow, and she eats the POUNCE from Willow followed by the Pop Rox (Code Red) from Perez for the pin ….


Main Event: For the Shine tag team titles:
Sasha Banks vs. Toxic Attraction (Jacy Jayne &amp; Gigi Dolin) w/ Mandy Rose ….

With her best friend no longer in SHINE, Banks comes out alone, determined to face Toxic Attraction and defend the titles on her own … Dolin &amp; Jayne attack at the bell, beating down Sasha …. Banks fights back, getting brief glimpses of offense, but it’s a numbers game …. Sasha dispatches Jayne and hits a Meteora on Dolin, but can’t get the pin … Sasha locks in the Banks Statement and has Dolin ready to tap but Jayne is back in and breaks up the pin …. Banks goes for the Meteora on Jayne but misses, allowing her to score with a superkick …. Dolin &amp; Jayne hit Toxic Shock, and that’s enough to win the titles ….


Toxic Attraction celebrates to end the show ….
