A highlight video plays showing highlights from Sensitivity Training beating the Dogs of War to earn the tag title shot and ejecting Tyler from the group as they announce who is going to challenge for the SVW Tag Team Titles. It’s followed by highlights of the BSX’s rise to prominence and regaining the titles from Cade & Apollo. The video fades out to the match graphic before it cuts to John Youle standing in the middle of the ring.
Dante: We’ve taken our last break of the evening and I have the pleasu...the hon… the privile… I’m joined by Shaughnessy O’Neill to offer her insight on this tag team match.
Shaw: You’re right it is your honor, pleasure and privilege to have the greatest tag team talent of a generation join you on commentary.
Dante: Greatest?? Okay, we’ll send it on up to John to get us started.
John: The following match is scheduled for one fall to a finish. It is the Main Event of the evening and is for the SVW Tag Team Championships
Sensitivity Training are already in the ring, prowling around behind the ring announcer as they wait impatiently for the BSX to appear.
John: Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing first the challenges, the team of Hunter Peterson and Sophia Pike… SENSITIVITY TRAINING!!!
Dante: Sensitivity Training are already in the ring, ready and waiting for this match to begin and they’re chomping at the bit.
Shaw: Can you blame them? Think about everything they’ve gone through to earn this shot - a year long feud with the Dogs of War. And we can’t forget that BSX has never been able to beat them. Tonight is pretty much their night.
[Cue the chiptunes and 8-bit sprites! Coming dashing out from the back is Andi Takata, hopping about excitedly, while her partner Kaoru Asaka follows behind at a more reasonable pace....]
John: INTRODUCING AT THIS TIME, AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 280 POUNDS... HAILING FROM AKASAKA, TOKYO, JAPAN...
[As Kaoru crouches at the top of the ramp, Andi takes off towards the crowd to get them dancing along with her, side to side!]
John: SHE IS THE RAGING INFERNO OF FEMME FATALE.... KAORU. BLLLLAZING RAAAAGE ASAAAAKAAA!!
[Asaka springs up with her fist high in the air, and walks down to the ring, past...]
John: AND HER PARTNER, HAILING FROM THE GREAT COSMOS...
[Asaka tries to get past Andi to get to the ring, as she's hopping around and excited to be here!]
John: SHE IS THE MAGICAL PRINCESS FROM OUTER SPACE...
[Andi positions herself! Step out, arm up.]
John: THE "LUCKY STAR" ANDIIIIIIIII TAAAAKATAAAAA!!!!!!
[POSE! Crowd loves it! Then both girls slide in under the bottom rope, and make their way to opposite turnbuckles.]
John: TOGETHER... THEY ARE.....
[Wyld Stallyns? NO! The girls ascend the turnbuckles!]
John: THE BUUUURNING STAAAAAAR EXPREEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
[And they climb down from the turnbuckles and get ready for their match as the music fades down.]
Dante: I can barely hear myself think over the deafening roar of this sold out arena!! Multiple time SVW Tag Team Champions. Arguably one of the best and most popular tag teams in all of wrestling.
Shaw: You wanna kiss their ass and overhype them any more Dante? Are you running for President of their fan club or something? I’ll admit they have some talent, just not as much as you want everyone to believe.
Angela Rocca took the title belts from the BSX and presented them to the members of Sensitivity Training who snatched them from the officials grasp and raised them in the air to the boos from the crowd as the two members of the Express exchange a look between them. The official reclaims the titles only for Andi and Kaoru to step forward, scooping them out of the referee’s grasp again and lifting them into the air, getting a loud cheer from the crowd… that suddenly turns to boos as Hunter drives a double axe handle to the top of Kaoru’s spine as Sophia spun Andi around and delivered an open hand slap to the side of her opponent’s face that caused the Space Princess to stumble backwards. Before Takata could regain her balance, Pike sent her flying across the ring with an armdrag takedown. Before Kaoru could turn around Hunter wrapped his arm around her waist and sent her flying across the ring with a release belly to back suplex.
Shaw: Sensitivity Training playing mind games early on with the title belts and it’s got them the advantage before the bell has even rung.
Dante: It doesn’t surprise me in the least that you’d be an advocate and apologist for someone taking a cheap shot.
The two members of BSX started to rise to their feet only for Peterson to catch Kaoru in the chest with a dropkick that sent her falling backwards through the ropes and out of the ring as Pike took Andi to the mat with a low dropkick to her knee. Andi tried to push up to her feet only for both of the Sensitivity Training members to hook her head and deliver a double DDT. The two challengers quickly get back to their feet and deliver a stereo elbow drop into the Space Princesses back before pulling Andi to her feet and both whip her across the ring into the corner as Rocca orders one of them to leave the ring. Takata hit the turnbuckles hard and began to step forward away from them, hand going to her lower back only to get taken down to the canvas thanks to a running clothesline from Hunter before he steps through the ropes and takes up his position in the corner at which point Rocca called for the bell.
Dante: Finally this match is underway, though Andi’s starting it on the back foot after what we’ve just seen.
Shaw: You mean after the excellent teamwork of Sensitivity Training? You know, Dante, I don’t remember any of this outrage when Kaoru illegally involved herself in a match and callously attacked me at Extreme Prejudice.
Andi began to rise once more, Pike measuring her up before she took off towards her and caught her square in the chest with a running double footed front dropkick that sent Andi back into the corner. The Queen of King County rolled up to her feet and started to fire off European uppercuts to her opponent, driving her arm into her jaw three times before she pulled her out of the corner and took her to the mat with an armdrag. Holding onto the Tag Team Champions arm, the challenger transitioned through into an arm wringer. Andi fought against the hold, slowly pushing her way up to her feet only for Pike to yank on her hair and take her back down to the canvas. As Takata hit the mat back first, Sophia released the arm wringer and delivered a leg drop right across her foe’s bicep, rolled to the side and locked in the arm wringer once more. This time as Andi rose, Pike drove an elbow into her shoulder and this time transitioned the hold into a hammerlock that saw her twist Andi’s arm as far up her back as she possibly could before she dragged her backwards and allowed Hunter to make the tag.
Shaw: A good, quick tag between the members of Sensitivity Training there. They’re working like a well oiled machine don’t you think Dante?
Dante: They are working well together, Shaw, yes. And yes, they’re doing a good job of cutting the ring in half, isolating Andi from her partner. For now at least.
The male half of Sensitivity Training stepped through the ropes and measured the Space Princess up - seemingly for a shot to the jaw only to drive his fist into her stomach, following it up with a quick combination of rights and lefts to her rib cage before he finished it off with a European uppercut of his own that snapped Andi’s head backwards. Quickly he moved around to the side of Andi and both members of Sensitivity Training snapped Takata backwards with a double side Russian legsweep. Sophia rolled out of the ring as Hunter rolled on top of the girl with the brightly coloured hair to make the pinfall.
One…
Tw-
Dante: Barely a two count for the challengers as they make the first pinfall of the match.
Shaw: Coming off a beautifully executed side Russian leg sweep though and they’ve still got Andi stranded on their side of the ring. They’re almost giving us a masterclass in how to dismantle one of the best tag teams in the world, don’t you think?
Andi kicked out and Hunter wasted no time at all in rubbing his forearm back and forth over her face roughly before he finally pulled her up to her feet only to scoop slam her back to the mat. Andi instantly rolled to the side, trying to get away from Hunter only for him to walk her down and deliver a fist drop to her forehead that caused the SVW Tag Team Champion to sit upright, holding her head. Once more Peterson helped his opponent up to her feet and this time he sent her in for the ride, before he launched himself into a spinning heel kick as she returned only for Andi to duck underneath it and continue onto the opposite ropes where she leaped onto the middle rope and launched herself backwards into a handspring onto his shoulders where she ripped off a headscissors takedown that sent Hunter towards a neutral corner. Peterson rolled to his feet with the momentum of the move only to find Takata already bearing down on him and leaving her feet for the Flying Andi, catching him square on the jaw with a flying hip check that sent him stumbling back into the neutral corner.
Dante: Andi got an opening with the missed spinning heel kick and she’s making the most of it. This is what makes them one of the most dangerous teams in the world-
Shaw: That they get lucky?!?! Two moves of offence and you’re already giving the victory. Lil premature of you.
Dante: It’s that they get an opening and they make it count. As we’re seeing right now.
Andi landed on her feet and almost skipped the two steps of distance between them and delivered a knee lift into his middle, following it up with a second knee lift before she took a step backwards and unloaded with a venomous volley of kicks to his legs and body as Rocca ordered her to let the man out of the corner and began to apply a five count. Andi’s feet stopped flying on four as she took a step back to give the man a momentary opportunity to leave the corner and when he didn’t do so, Andi stepped forward, pressing her shoulder against his arm as she grabbed hold of his wrist and fired him across the ring into the neutral corner. She followed hot on his heels and left her feet, catching him in the chest with a dropkick as soon as he hit the turnbuckles. He stumbled forward a step and immediately found himself dragged downwards into a small package pinning combination by the high flying alien.
One…
Two…
...TH-
Dante: Oooohhhhhh near fall...
Shaw: But no dice. How arrogant does she have to be to think she’s going win like that. Admittedly it’s only Hunter Peterson, but he’s still an SVW wrestler not one of the chumps they’ve wrestled in some of their other places of employment.
Hunter kicked out and rolled away into a sitting position as he looked up at his opponent who was already back on her feet and gave him and the crowd a couple of seconds of Carameldancing that got a loud roar from the sold out arena. Andi smiled at the response and waved the rising Hunter forward. He took her invitation as he charged at her only to be taken down to the mat with a drop toe hold from Andi who immediately went for the spinning toe hold only for Hunter to kick her off with his free foot. The Challenger quickly got back to his feet only for Andi to fire off an elbow that caught him across the chest. A second and a third elbow followed it before she grabbed hold of his arm once more and went for the Irish whip only for the man to put on the brakes and reverse the move, sending Takata in for the ride and as she hit the ring ropes Sophia caught her with a stiff kick in the back. Andi staggered forward straight into an advancing Hunter who caught her flush with a throat thrust that sent her to the canvas coughing for air.
Shaw: Would you like at that? She’s paid for her arrogance and once more Sensitivity Training take control of this match.
Dante: Suppose it was more good teamwork with Sophia giving the assist from the ring apron??
Andi tried to rise only for Hunter to cut her off once more, pulling her upwards with a handful of her brightly coloured locks and began to pepper her body with right and left hands before he sent her back down to one knee with an overhand right that seemed to leave her momentarily stunned as he stepped away from her only to catch the Space Princess in the side of the face with a thrust kick that sent her all the way down to the mat. Hunter quickly dropped back to the ropes and came back towards Andi, leaving his feet as he did so and caught her with a double knee drop to her body. He forced her shoulders back against the mat and made another cover.
Dante: Excellent knee drop from Hunter. Andi really needs to make the tag here and get Kaoru into this match.
One…
Two…
...T-
Shaw: Two count for Hunter Peterson and he’s staying right on Andi here. Doing exactly what I’d do - control the pace and wrestle the match you wanna wrestle not the one that Lone Ranger and Tonto there wanna wrestle.
Andi kicked out on the two count and found herself once more pulled upright and into a front facelock as Hunter walked her back into the Sensitivity Training corner and held a hand to Sophia. She made the tag and entered the ring, measuring the trapped Andi up before she drove three quick knees into her rib cage. Hunter released the hold and stepped back through the ropes as Pike grabbed hold of Andi’s head and jerked her backwards and downwards, slamming Andi’s back into her bent knee for a backbreaker, causing Andi to drop to her knees, holding her lower spine in pain. Pike delivered three quick kicks to the spine before she bent down and wrapped her arms around Andi’s waist, wrestling back up to her feet before she snapped off a German suplex. As they landed the Space Princess rolled away, holding her back once more and Sophia leapt on top of her, kneeling on her shoulders facing down her body as she started to rain forearms down onto Takata’s lower back. Rocca asked for the release before she was forced to use the count and Sophia obliged on four, slithering backwards off Andi and applying another front facelock as she hauled her up to her feet once more and this time executed a Northern Lights suplex that she held for a pin this time. There’s the sound of applause from the announce desk.
Shaw: Thing of beauty Dante. Thing of beauty. Look at the bridge Sophia’s got there - that’s pretty much a perfect Northern Lights Suplex, almost as good as I when I do it.
One…
Two…
...TH-
Dante: And it still didn’t get her a three count. Andi’s taking a lot of punishment and not staying down. I think it’s starting to frustrate Sophia.
Once more the SVW Tag Team Champion kicked out of the pinfall attempt, Rocca confirming the two count to Sophia who looked at the official disdainfully before she pulled Andi up to her feet in another front facelock. As both legal combatants got a vertical base, Pike set Andi up and appeared to go for a snap suplex only for Andi to leap and twist her body as she was lifted upwards, landing on her feet behind her opponent. Before Pike could turn around Andi reached forward, hooking her hands around her chin and jumped backwards delivering a reverse facebuster as she slammed the back of Sophia’s head into the mat, catching her legs as they came upwards to make the cover.
One…
Two…
Dante: Solid two count for Andi and it looks like she’s swung the pendulum back towards the Tag Team Champions!
Shaw: Do I really have to continue to listen to you kiss ass? It was barely a two. Pike was never in danger of getting pinned.
Pike kicked out as soon as the referee’s hand hit the canvas for the two count. She quickly came to her feet and measured up Andi as the Space Princess was a little slower to hers; waiting for the bright haired wrestler to get her feet underneath before she lunged towards her with a forearm strike that Andi ducked underneath. Immediately Takata took off across the ring, hitting the ropes and coming back with a flying forearm smash that caught Pike right on the point of the jaw. Pike hit the mat and quickly rolled back up to her feet only to once more get caught and knocked off balance thanks to a roundhouse kick from the alien. Andi quickly charged past her and once more jumped onto the middle ropes, springing off them and drove Sophia face first into the canvas with a one handed bulldog. The Queen of King County bounced on landing, catching herself on her hands and knees and immediately tried to rise only for Andi to grab hold of her wrist and send her into the BSX corner. Sophia hit the turnbuckles in the corner and Andi came flying in after her to catch her with a Yakuza kick before she made the tag to Kaoru and rolled out under the bottom rope.
Dante: A quick burst of offence from Andi and she’s made the tag she needed to make to Kaoru.
Shaw: Kaoru’s been a spectator, lazing out on the apron for the whole match. Bout time that she made some contribution.
The Atomic One entered the ring as Sophia was slumped slightly against the turnbuckles and began to land a series of stereotypical joshi style kicks into the challenger’s body. Rocca ordered Asaka to let the American out of the corner only to watch Asaka fire off one more boot into the gut before she relented with the kicks. Pike staggered forward, holding her middle as she did so, making it two steps before she dropped to one knee and Asaka restarted her assault, this time with kicks that connected squarely with Sophia’s spine. She only managed to connect with two kicks to the back before Pike - crying out in agony as both landed - forced herself to her feet and tried to get away barely making it to the middle of the ring before Kaoru wrapped her arms around her from behind and slammed her down to the mat with a belly to back throw.
Dante: Sophia’s going to have Kaoru’s boot prints all over her by the time the bell rings.
Shaw: C’mon Rocca, you just watched her disobey you!! Get a grip already!
Pike rolled and tried to get to her feet only for Kaoru to underhook her arms and began to bring her knees upwards, slamming them into the chest of the Queen of King County. Kaoru landed six knees before she used the double underhook to lift the challenger upwards and deliver a Tiger suplex that sent her to the canvas. Pike landed and rolled onto her side, only for Asaka to pull her upwards and slam her down with a backbreaker. Once more Sophia rolled away, holding her back only to be brought to her feet by Asaka who scooped her up and dropped her once more onto the canvas with a sidewalk slam. Kaoru rose once more to find Pike had rolled onto her front, holding her lower back with one hand and the Japanese wrestler began to stomp away on her opponent, driving her boot down onto the hand Pike was holding against her spine causing her to pull it away before Kaoru began to rapidly stomp away at her back. The American tried to roll away, pushing up onto her hands and knees only for Kaoru to follow her, apply a front facelock and lift her upwards into the air, holding her vertically for a moment before she slammed her down with a vertical suplex. Pike sat up holding her back as she landed only for Kaoru to jerk her body back down to the mat and make the cover, hooking the leg as she did so.
One…
Two…
...THR-
Dante: Huge impact on that vertical suplex and Pike’s back has to be on fire!
Shaw: Still only scored her a two count. Still you’re writing off Sensitivity Training way too soon.
Pike’s shoulder came up from the mat and the woman rolled away to the ring ropes, trying to pull herself upright as Asaka accepted the officials count and went after her opponent. As she reached her the Japanese grappler reached down and started to pull her back to her feet with a rear waistlock and was about to snap off a German suplex only for Pike to go nowhere as she tightly gripped the top rope with one hand. Asaka tried to jerk her free only to find the grip tight and began to club away across Pike’s shoulders with her forearm, landing three blows before she tried again. Once more the challenger grabbed hold of the top rope to stop herself from going anywhere and Kaoru again looked to smash forearms across her shoulders. She landed the first and reared back for the second before she was stopped in her tracks by a mule kick right between the legs by Pike. Asaka took a step backwards, holding herself gingerly and Sophia grabbed hold of her head and took her down with a jawbreaker.
Shaw: This is what you’ve got to like about Sophia - her resourcefulness; her innovative nature. She’s like a lesser version of me in that respect.
Dante: Yet there she is, challenging for the SVW Tag Team titles and here you are commentating on it.
The Queen of King County crawled to the ring ropes and pulled herself upwards, turned and darted towards Kaoru as the Japanese superstar was rising to her feet and took her down once more with a swinging neckbreaker. Again the American forced herself to scramble to her feet and sprinted towards the ropes, coming back and caught Kaoru with a high knee to her jaw as the Tag Team Champion got to her feet. Asaka fell backwards to the mat as Pike landed on her feet and staggered towards Hunter. Sophia made the tag to him, waving him into the ring and onto the attack as she leaned against the ring ropes, holding her back in pain. Hunter wasted no time at all in taking advantage, charging the Japanese wrestler and delivering a lariat that flipped her over as he sent her to the canvas. Hunter spun, holding his arms out to the side, getting booed by the crowd as he watched Kaoru start to rise, keeping his eyes on her before he suddenly lunged backwards and drove a back elbow into Andi’s jaw, almost knocking her from the apron; the alien only staying there by virtue of holding the top rope and Hunter charged forwards once more catching Kaoru again with another lariat clothesline.
Shaw: And we’re back to Sensitivity Training dominating. For a team as good as you claim BSX are, Mr Cheerleader, they’re doing a great job of keeping the upperhand here.
Dante: Hunter and Sophia are a good team in their own right. Plus they’ve never met a shortcut they weren’t prepared to take - as we’ve seen.
Peterson stopped and spun back around to face the BSX corner as Andi tried to step between the ring ropes, Rocca cutting her off and trying to keep her on the outside as Hunter started to trash talk her, causing Andi to get more determined to enter the ring. Hunter continued to taunt her, the referee doing everything she could to keep Andi on the outside as Sophia came forward quickly out of the corner and caught Kaoru as she got to her knees with a perfect low superkick to her jaw. Kaoru fell backwards and onto her side, holding her jaw as Hunter, looking pleased with himself, took full advantage of the referee being distracted to pull Asaka to her feet and flipped her up onto his shoulders before he took off towards the Sensitivity Training corner and delivered a buckle bomb - hurling her into the corner causing her lower back to smack into the top turnbuckle. Asaka stumbled forward out of the corner and as she did so Pike left her feet to connect with an enzugiri to the side of Kaoru’s head before Sophia rolled out of the ring under the bottom rope. Andi finally left the ring and Rocca spun around just in time to see Hunter drop to his knees and make the cover on the Atomic one.
Shaw: Excellent, excellent teamwork and that, right there, was a knockout shot. Get ready John… New Tag Team Champions coming up. Then I’ll orchestrate us beating the BSX and get ourselves a shot.
One…
Two…
...THR-
Dante: What were you saying, Shaw??
Shaw: It’s coming Dante. It’s coming.
Kaoru’s shoulder rolled on two and a half and Hunter pulled her upright only to scoop her up off her feet and drop her across the top rope. She staggered backwards and Hunter followed up with a back suplex that drove her shoulders and head first into the mat. Asaka rolled onto her side and into a ball, her arms coming up over her head as a foot tapped against the mat in pain, only for Hunter to stoop over her and pull her upright once again and straight into a pumphandle slam. Again Kaoru rolled in pain as she driven into the canvas by the male half of Sensitivity Training who moved quickly towards the corner and climbed to the top rope before he came flying off with a senton bomb that landed perfectly across chest. Hunter reached for her leg as he leaned back into the cover.
One…
Two…
...THRE-
Dante: Another near fall!! You could actually be right Shaw, we might see new Tag Team Champions crowned tonight!
Shaw: Never doubt a genius like myself, Dante. It’ll only make you look stupid.
Asaka’s shoulder popped up from the mat before the three count could be completed and dropped straight back down to the canvas. Peterson glared at Angela Rocca as the senior official told him it was a two count, the man slapping his hands together three times in complaint; shaking his head at the official before he once more pulled Kaoru upwards, getting her to her feet and driving a knee into his gut to double her over before he grabbed her by the wrists and spiked her head first into the canvas with the DDX - his signature cross armed lifted DDT. He rolled the Atomic One onto her back and once more hooked the leg as he made the cover on her.
Dante: DDX!!! Hunters got the pin!!! This could be all they wrote!!!
One…
Two…
...THREE!!!!!!!!!!!NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shaw: WHAT THE F-!!!! What are you playing at Rocca?!?! Do your damned job already!
At the very last moment, Andi Takata entered the ring and flew towards the cover, catching Hunter with a double axe handle blow to the back of his head to break up the pinfall. The Space Princess rose to her feet as Sophia Pike made it into the ring and charged towards - Andi using her momentum against her as she caught her and threw her towards the BSX corner with a snapped belly to belly suplex. Hunter got to his feet and was waiting for Andi as she rose once more and he made to grab her only for the alien to catch his head and drop down with the Space Crusher.
Dante: SPACE CRUSHER!!!! HUNTER GOT ALL OF IT!!!
Shaw: There’s an illegal alien in the ring!!! Rocca’s just letting it go!!! Complete bullshit!! If this was Charlotte and I you’d be screaming blue murder!! Instead you’re breaking out the pom poms and the RaRa skirt.
Quickly Andi kipped up to her feet and charged towards Sophia in the corner, leaving her feet as she looked to deliver a double knee strike. Pike sidestepped the move at the last moment, spinning out of the corner as she did so. Andi landed on the turnbuckle and didn’t hesitate in leaping upwards and backwards into a moonsault that caught Sophia and sent them both to the canvas. Andi began to rise once more and as she did so Rocca started to order her out of the ring, while Kaoru began to move, rolling over and throwing an arm over Hunter’s body.
Dante: Kaoru’s got the pin!! We could count to thirty!!!
Shaw: The referee’s finally doing her job though - she’s FINALLY throwing that commercial sell out out of the ring.
As Andi backed up and stepped out of the ring at Rocca’s insistence, Sophia got back to her feet and quickly moved towards the two legal competitors, delivering a couple of quick stomps to Kaoru that caused her to kneel upwards and as she did, Pike grabbed her head and snapped off a low angle DDT. Kaoru rolled away holding her head as Rocca turned back to the middle of the ring and made a beeline towards Sophia, ordering her out of the ring. Pike held her hands up as she moved back over to the corner and stepped straight out onto the apron. Happy that she’d regained control of the match, Rocca went to check on Kaoru and Hunter, the pair starting to stir as both Pike and Takata tried to rally the crowd; the BSX getting a deafening cheer. Asaka began to crawl towards her corner, slowly getting closer and closer to making the tag as Hunter pushed all the way up to his feet, falling back against the ropes for support before he unsteadily and slowly made his way towards his corner only for Sophia Pike to step back through the ropes once more, Rocca immediately moving to cut her off.
Dante: Hunter and Asaka are definitely the worse for wear and both desperately need to make the tag! But here comes Sophia!! She’s not waiting!!!
The cheers got even louder as Kaoru dove and made the tag to Andi who came into the ring and instantly started to tee off with kicks to Hunter’s body as she cut him off from making the tag. She forced him to step backwards with every blow landed before she took him down to the canvas with a roaring palm strike to his jaw. As soon as he hit the canvas Andi left her feet and came crashing down on top of him with a shooting star press. She hooked the leg for the pinfall attempt.
Dante: ANDI’S GOT THE COVER!!! We’re three seconds away from a successful retention!!!
Shaw: Just means we’re three seconds away from the BSX losing the titles to the One Woman Show instead of Sensitivity Training.
And no count was coming, Rocca waving it off and refusing to count the fall as she told Andi to leave the ring. The BSX member looked up at her confused, Rocca telling her that Kaoru was still the legal woman. Andi tried to explain there was a tag but Rocca informed her that she never saw one and therefore Kaoru was still the legal woman. As this discussion took place the show went to a split screen replay from a different angle showing Rocca tied up trying to get Sophia Pike out of the ring as Kaoru made the tag to Andi. Despite Takata protestations, Rocca remained firm as she ordered the Space Princess out of the ring, threatening to disqualify her and giving the Queen of King County the perfect opening to enter the ring illegally and make a beeline for Asaka, catching her in the corner with a baseball slide before she pulled her up and into a snapmare. Asaka sat on the mat and Sophia bounced off the nearest ropes to deliver a kick into her rib cage. Kaoru rolled away and Pike pulled her upwards only to use a Saito suplex to send her back into the Sensitivity Training side of the ring as she roused Hunter back to his feet once more and pointed towards Kaoru.
Shaw: Andi’s just costing her team here. Letting Sophia and Hunter pick her partner apart with free shots. She’s thrown her to the wolves. Not much of a partner if you ask me.
Dante: If anyone would know anything about throwing their partner to their wolves… Sophia’s played this referee like a fiddle right from the start of this match.
He nodded his head and the pair measured Kaoru as she pushed up to her knees, the two members of Sensitivity Training skipping forward and catching her with stereo superkicks to her jaw. Asaka fell back to the canvas as Hunter folded up and collapsed on top of her. Andi, however, was still making her case to Rocca and hadn’t yet left the ring causing Sophia to jerk the referee around and point towards Hunter on top of the prone Kaoru; the senior official scurrying quickly to get into position and make the count as Sophia shoved Andi the rest of the way through the ropes to the outside and turned to watch the referee make the count.
Shaw: How on earth did Rocca ever get to be a senior official in this company?!? Sophia’s having to tell her how to do her damned job! This is ridiculous!
One…
Two…
...THRE-
Dante: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Atomic One just got her shoulder up in time!!!
Kaoru’s shoulder came off the mat as Andi, having landed on her feet on the outside, jerked Sophia’s feet out from under her causing her to faceplant on the mat before she pulled her the rest of the way out of the ring. Pike landed on the outside on her knees and Andi shouted out ‘SHINING STAR’ to the crowd before she left her feet and connected with a devastating shining wizard to Pike’s head causing her to slump down onto the floor. In the ring, Hunter and Kaoru were both slow to get back to their feet; the pair exchanging right and left hands as they rose. Hunter got to his feet first and blocked one of Kaoru’s shots, taking the opportunity to line her as he swung with a big haymaker right hand. Asaka ducked underneath it and as the momentum spun Hunter around Kaoru lifted him off his feet and into an Atomic Drop. He held the base of his spine and turned back to face his opponent who instantly caught him with a headbutt across the bridge of his nose. Peterson staggered backwards only for Kaoru to jerk him back towards her and into position for a suplex, only to lift him up and drop him belly first over the top rope and spin away as Andi jumped onto the top rope from the apron, using it as a springboard to come down across the back of his neck with a guillotine leg drop that sees him spin as he falls from the top rope and land in a sitting position.
Dante: Guillotine Leg Drop from the outside!
Shaw: And Rocca’s letting this Cosmic Clod do anything she wants to do! Tabernac!
Dante: She’s got a five count, Shaw - exercising that right just like Sophia and Hunter have done right from the opening bell.
Immediately the Space Princess rolled through to her feet and darted towards the ropes, coming off them and taking off once more, clearing the top rope as she flew like a lawn dart into the rising Sophia Pike on the outside. Meanwhile in the ring Kaoru delivered a real hard, precise spinning back kick to the jaw of the sitting Hunter Peterson, rocking him backwards against the rope, his eyes glazed over as she dropped to her knees next to him. Grabbing hold of his head, she used the ring ropes to pull them back to a vertical base and lifted him once again and slammed him down towards the middle of the ring with the Atoms Glow inverted facelock brainbuster, that saw her roll into the cover as she landed it.
Dante: ATOMS GLOW!!!! HUNTER PETERSON’S BEEN DROPPED ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD!!!! STICK A FORK IN HIM!!!!
One…
Two…
...THREE!!!
Shaw: You’ve got to be freaking kidding me?!?! Seriously?!? Andi Takata gets to run riot and...
As the count was being made, Sophia tried to get back into the ring on the two count to stop Rocca from reaching three only for Andi to grab hold of her ankle and pull her backwards. As she completed the count Rocca called for the bell and Kaoru rolled off her opponent onto her back as it sounded.
John: Here are your winners, and still SVW Tag Team Champions...THE BURNING STAR EXPRESS!!!
Dante: The BSX snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and retain the SVW Tag Team Championships against a very, very game and very impressive Sensitivity Training tonight!
Shaw: Yeah, yeah, they’re real heroes. Against a better team - against say, the One Woman Show, they wouldn’t get all those ‘opportunities’ they did tonight and you’d be looking at NEW Tag Team Champions in that ring.
Dante: We’re out of time tonight. Thank you to Shaw for her ‘insight’, tonight. SVW returns with Uprising on Sunday, live from the PNC Arena with a huge tag team main event - Emma and Mika on one side; Harmony and Leander Apollo on the other. We’ll see you then!!!
As John made the announcement, Andi slid back into the ring and dove on top of her partner, hugging her before she helped her up from the canvas. Rocca retrieved the titles and presented them to the BSX before she raised their hands as Sophia glared at them from the outside, Hunter holding his head and trying to recuperate next to her. The two victorious wrestlers held the titles aloft, Andi heading for the turnbuckles first, climbing up to the middle rope and thrusting the title into the air before she pointedly looked down at Shaw at the commentary desk, brandishing the title towards her before she raised it high again to the cheering of the crowd. As the BSX celebration continued the show faded out.
