John: The following match is scheduled for one fall to a finish. It is a tag team match and it is the Main Event of the evening.
Dante: It’s been a rollercoaster ride tonight but we’ve taken our final ad break and it’s time for our Main Event. Joining me for this is the current SVW Champion and a woman who we found out is part of this years Hall of Fame class.. Kelly Kincaid!
Kelly: Hi Dante. I always appreciate the opportunity to scout my opponents up close and personal and there’s no better seat in the building than right here at the announce desk.
Cradle of Filth’s “Feotus of a New Day Kicking” thunders out of the sound system, dousing the arena in noise as the lights turn blue and black. From the back first steps Ryan Mackenzie. As the curtain closes behind him, dry ice comes up from the stage. He turns himself towards the curtain and extends his arm, as though waiting for someone. As the music changes to something much less showy, Emma MacNamara steps out from behind the curtain, smirking as the crowd jeer her.
John: Introducing first, from Glasgow, Scotland, at a weight of 140 pounds, she is “The Pretty Little Psycho”, EMMA MACNAMARA!
The pair at the top of the ramp ignore the jeers and start their journey down the ramp, the woman about half a step in front of Ryan. The reach the bottom of the ramp and Emma heads for the stairs while Ryan pulls himself up onto the apron, and sits on the middle rope to allow Emma through.
Danger warning levels hissed out loud, I saw the silver lining hidden in the mushroom cloud Now I’m reeling from the shock at Ground Zero! If yesterday you would have stood up proud, Then why tonight are you in with the stoning crowd? Now I breathe through the feotus of a new day kicking!
Stepping through the ropes, Emma heads for her corner where she stands on the middle rope, looking out to the crowd in silence and a deadpan expression before hopping down to meet Ryan in the corner. The two share words as the music fades out.
Dante: Two weeks ago Emma MacNamara made her presence felt in the main event as she helped Mika shut the down in Leander’s face.
Kelly: She made it pretty clear that she’d like the chance to challenge for the SVW Championship too and it seems like my dance card is getting fuller and fuller… assuming Steph doesn’t walk out here and decide to cash-in of course.
Two sea eagle cries are heard before "Rise" hits the sound system. Accompanied by her manager Kyle Kilmeade, Mika Demidov walks through the entrance gate when the song makes its halt to come back with a stronger beat. Right before the entrance aisle, she raises her right hand in the air with the index, middle and ring fingers fully extended upwards, and white, blue and red pyros shoot behind her back, and her manager presents her to the crowd.
John: And her partner, escorted to the ring by Kyle Kilmeade... From Saint Petersburg, western Russia... "The Red Star"... MIKA DEMIDOV!
She then walks down the entrance aisle, scowling at the crowd and ignoring the outstretched hands who wish for a high-five, before she's offered a hand by Kyle to climb the steel steps leading into the ring. She enters the square passing between the mid and bottom ropes and, once inside, she climbs a random turnbuckle, taunting the crowd by basically screaming smack at them. After soaking in the boos, she shakes her head and leaps back into the ring and prepares for her match.
Dante: The Empress of SVW has been pretty irate of late, over the manner that she lost the title; that she doesn’t get to be in the Main Event at Climax, that she has to wait to get her rematch…
Kelly: That her dressing room is too hot, that her porridge is too cold… Poor little Goldilocks, being so horribly victimised by everyone. It must be so awful to be her.
The arena is thrown into darkness and the crowd begin to buzz as to what is happening until a single lyric cuts through the buzz.
You better work bitch!
An explosion of purple pyrotechnics from the staging brings the arena lights back to life as "Work Bitch" by Britney Spears rips through the arena speakers and Harmony appears at the top of the staging, cocking her hip to the side before throwing a hand in the air and striding down the ramp with a smile, touching hands with fans as she makes her way towards the ring.
The brunette hops up onto the apron then throws herself over the top rope, landing on both feet, Angela Rocca forces Mika and Emma to stay back as Harmony was ascending the turnbuckle and blowing a kiss out to the fans. She throws a hand in the air again then jumps down and swings her arms back and forth, preparing herself for the match.
John: Introducing, from London, England and weighing 137lbs, this is Harmony!
Dante: And here is the number one contender to the SVW Championship; the woman that you’re due to face at the main event of the biggest show of the year - Climax.
Kelly: Yeah, the multi-year veteran against the brash, arrogant cocky kid right? The fairy tale story. Harmony after her years of strife and in front of her loved ones, finally gets a chance to write a happy ending. Give me a break already willya?
Multiple colored lights begin to swirl all over the arena, a violin’s melody playing across the PA system while the Tron begins to show eerie yet beautiful images of space as the song builds, it showcases the night sky on the water’s reflection, as a foot suddenly enters the frame and steps into the water, as it ripples and turns red, the entrance ramp beginning to be covered in smoke...
“RAISE YOUR FLAAAAAAG! KOE NO KAGIRI, KOE NO KAGIRI, KOE NO KAGIRI SAKENDE! IKI NO KAGIRI, TSUZUKU KAGIRI, YUME O MITSUZUKE SAMAYOU...”
As flashes of Leander Apollo hitting moves and applying holds on his opponents is shown, Apollo emerges from the entrance and through the smoke, a focused look on his face as he cracks his knuckles while walking down the ramp and moving towards the ring, soaking in the crowd’s cheers although never letting his focus break away from the ring as he steps up to the apron through the steel steps and enters the squared circle through the middle rope.
John: And her partner…from Columbus, Ohio, weighing in at a two hundred and two pounds…HE IS THE “RED COMET,” LEANDEEEEEEEER…APOLLOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Dante: Two weeks ago, our guest GM gave Leander an opportunity to prove he belonged in the upper echelon against Mika Demidov and he put up a good showing...until Emma intervened.
Kelly: And he gets another chance tonight. As well as a little taste of revenge against Emma, if he wants it.
As the chorus to “Raise Your Flag” by MAN WITH A MISSION begins again, the lights frantically begin to move with the beat of the song as Leander absorbs the roar of the crowd, moving to the center of the ring and taking a knee as he pounds the mat and lifts his arms up in the air, fists clenched while yelling out, hyping himself up for another round of cheers from the SVW fans before making his way over to the ropes, putting his arms across them and leaning back as if to stretch out, only to explode forward and take both Emma and Mika by surprise as he caught them both with a clothesline.
Kelly: And it doesn’t look like he’s wasting any time in getting it here.
Dante: Excellent clothesline from Leo, taking his opponents by surprise and to the mat. You know he’s been thinking about this and plotting for this ever since this was announced.
Rocca ushers Harmony out of the ring as Emma began to rise to her feet only for Leander to grab her around the waist and toss her across the ring with a release belly to belly suplex. Quickly Apollo got back to his feet and lunged towards Mika, catching her with an elbow to the side of her head before he scooped her up off her feet and body slammed her to the canvas. He spun and brought up his boot as Emma was charging towards him, catching her in the jaw and sent her back to the canvas as Apollo once more turned his attention to the Russian half of the team, stepping into her and driving a knee into her gut before following it up with a single facebreaker that saw Demidov bounce backwards and fall into the ring ropes, grabbing hold of them to stay on her feet.
Dante: Leander’s running the table in the early going here, throwing both Emma and Mika around the ring.
Kelly: All that pent up anger that’s festered is fuelling him here and Emma and Mika are bearing the brunt of it.
As she did so, Emma caught Apollo from behind with a low blow from her knees, bringing her arm straight up between his legs. The move stopped him in his tracks and Emma continued to rise to her feet and snapped him backwards to the canvas with a side Russian leg sweep. Rolling away Emma delivered a couple of stomps to his chest and one to his head as Rocca tried to force her away. The official finally got her way as Emma shrugged the referee off of her and walked towards her corner.
Kelly: Though that’s going to slow him down a little bit…
Dante: And Emma’s happy to head back to the corner and let Mika go to work and try to prove that she can shut Leander out once and for all.
Kelly: And Harmony’s been happy to stand on the outside and watch it all unfold. Obviously not prepared to get her hands dirty to help her partner out.
The bell rang as Emma took up her position on the outside while Leander Apollo sat up and Mika came off the ropes to deliver a kick into his rib cage. She followed it up with a second kick to his body before she pulled him up by the hair, jabbing a thumb into his eye that caused him to step backwards and allowed the Russian to crack him across the jaw with a spinning backhand punch that again staggered him backwards. Before he could recover, Mika grabbed hold of his wrist and sent him across the ring into a neutral corner. As he hit, Mika followed him in and delivered a running knee into his middle before she dragged him out of the corner and drove him face first into the mat with a bulldog. Rolling away she made the tag to Emma and the pair came into the ring as Apollo started to rise and the two women delivered stereo dropkicks that once more knocked him onto his back. The referee ordered Mika to leave the ring, starting the count as the Russian and the Scot each grabbed a leg of the Ohio native, snapping them in opposite directions for a wishbone.
Dante: God that’s gotta hurt… moves like that bring a tear to the eye of every guy in the room.
Kelly: In spite of that, you’ve got to hand it to Mika and Emma here, they’re showing they can work well as a team together. They’re both on the same page so far.
The former SVW Champion left the ring as Leo held his groin only for MacNamara to grab hold of his ankles, hold his legs apart and deliver a leg drop into his lower abdomen. Again the American rolled away, holding his gut only for Emma to deliver a couple more stomps to the side of his head with a sneer on her face before she pulled him to his feet by the hair only to whip him across the ring into a neutral corner, walking after him and started to throw kicks into his midsection. Rocca ordering her to let him out of the corner only to be forced to use the count, Emma holding her hands up on four and stepping away only to instantly come back forward, climbing the ropes and hooking the Comet’s head before launching herself forward into a Tornado DDT. As he landed on the mat, Emma made the cover.
Kelly: Pretty impressive tornado DDT from Emma on Leander, really spiked him down onto his skull… but then, this is a woman who likes to hurt people, so we shouldn’t be that surprised by that.
Dante: And she’s thinking that might just be enough to put him away, after all the abuse that her and Mika have given him since the low blow to start the match.
One…
Tw-
Apollo kicked out, pushing the Scottish wrestler away from him only for her to come straight back to him, locking in an armbar as she tried to pull him up to his feet and towards the Red Star on the apron. Leander, though, had other ideas as he began to fire off chops into her gut, stopping her in her tracks as he freed his arm only to grab Emma’s wrist and jerk her towards him three times into three shoulder thrusts that sent her down to the mat as he released her hand. Immediately the Pretty Lil Pyscho tried to rise to her feet only for Apollo to grab hold of her in a Muay Thai clinch and brought his knees crashing upwards into her chest before he transitioned to double underhooking her arms using the hold to lift her upwards and send her flying through the air once more with a suplex.
Dante: Apollo’s showing his resilience, his never say die attitude that could make him a contender for the SVW Championship Kelly and he’s starting to take the fight to Emma here.
Kelly: I’ll give him credit for rallying well, but it’s going to take more than that to put Emma down….and a whole lot more than that one pretty little suplex to keep me down.
Emma hit the mat hard following the double underhook suplex, rolling to the side she got up onto her knee and began to find her feet. Apollo seeing her rise looked to the ropes and dropped back towards, getting a kick to his kidneys from Mika that saw him grimace as he put on the brakes and spun towards her and started to advance on her. As he did so, SVW’s Empress told him that he was a peasant that shouldn’t be in the same ring as her. Apollo made to grab her, looking to pull her over the top rope and into the ring only for Mika to grab his hand and step backwards, dropping off the apron and hanging him out to dry, throat first, over the top rope. He sprung backwards, gasping for breath and turned towards the middle of the ring where Emma charged towards him and delivered a yakuza kick into his chest, sending him back into the Pretty Lil Psycho/Red Star corner. Apollo’s back hit the turnbuckle pads and Emma raised her boot, pressing it against his throat in the corner, Rocca using the five count to get the break and only getting it on 4.9 from the Scottish wrestler before she made the tag to Mika.
Kelly: And look at that, Mika and Emma again show their ability to work together and put themselves right back on top.
Dante: With a shortcut and now Emma’s choking him out. This getting ridiculous.
The Russian blonde stepped through the ropes and Emma raised her boot across the Columbus native’s throat once more, cutting off his airway as her partner drove closed fists into his stomach. Again the official was forced into the using the count, Emma releasing the pressure on his throat a heartbeat before the five and stepped through the ropes to the outside as Demidov this time brought her boot up and pressed it against the Red Comet’s throat, choking him out once more. Again the referee uses the count, Mika milking it for all it’s worth as she toys with disqualification before lowering her foot and began to tell Rocca not to challenge the Empress; that she was SVW’s premiere asset while the referee could be replaced by any high school dropout. As the referee’s attention is diverted by the blonde, Emma climbed onto the middle turnbuckle arm and from her position on the outside began to drive her fist downwards into Apollo’s head, her knuckles driving into his forehead and eyebrows; a thin trickle of blood starting to appear and spread.
Dante: More double teaming from the Red Star and the Pretty Lil Psycho and they’ve got Apollo busted open in their corner and are playing the referee like a violin here.
Kelly: You can’t possibly be surprised by this Dante? It’s much a hallmark of both of these two wrestlers - we see it week in and week out from them. And if Leo and Harmony weren’t expecting this then it’d be sheer naivety on their part.
Seeing this, Harmony entered the ring and attempted to stop the assault only for Rocca to stop her in the middle of the ring, telling her to go back to her corner. Harmony refused, trying to get around the referee only for Rocca to stop her at every turn, forcing the Englishwoman to try to get the referee to turn around and watch what was happening as Mika had now joined in the attack, delivering shoulder thrusts into Apollo’s middle while Emma had peeled away her wrist tape and had it wrapped around Leander’s throat.
Kelly: Harmony there’s just making it easy for Mika and Emma to take all the cheap shots they want. With a ‘friend’ like here, who really needs an enemy?
Dante: She’s letting frustration get the better of her after being forced to watch Apollo get mugged pretty much from the start.
Harmony backed up to her corner, still arguing and pleading with the referee to turn around and finally the number one contender to the SVW Championship stepped out of the ring as Leo was a deep dark red in the face as he choked for breath. Emma released her grip on the end of the wrist tape as Rocca was turning around and Mika jerked Apollo away from the corner and sent him down to the mat with the Hiptoss of Doom!! As he landed, still gasping for breath, the Empress placed a foot on his chest and ordered the official to count the arrogant cover. Rocca glared at Mika as she got into position on the mat, checked the shoulders and began the count.
One…
Two…
Dante: Hiptoss...of doom…. And the sheer arrogance of the Empress with that cover. She didn’t honestly expect to get the three count did she?
Kelly: Delusions of grandeur have gone straight to her head. I’m sorta surprised she’s not demanded he bow down and worship her.
Apollo kicked out with authority, rolling over onto his front and began to rise as he hoovered air into his lungs with big gulping gasps. The Russian moved around behind him, waving him upwards and as he got to his feet, she wrapped her arms around him and attempted to hurl him back down to the canvas with a German suplex that the American blocked. She tried again, once more finding it blocked before Apollo threw an elbow backwards that caught her on the side of the head. A second elbow followed, then a third that saw Mika break the hold and stagger backwards a step before Leander grabbed hold of her head and sent her down to the mat with a snap mare. Mika landed and rolled straight over onto her knees, beginning to rise once more only for Apollo to wrap his arms around her middle and hoike her upwards onto his shoulder. He held her there for a moment before he hefted her further up into the air and then drove her down to the mat with a neckbreaker.
Kelly: I think she might have just gone and pissed him off a little more.
Dante: He’s rolling out the high impact moves and Mika’s finding out that he’s got more than just those abs to show for all the time that’s he spent in the gym.
Mika rolled to the side as she landed, holding her neck in pain while her opponent pressed his hand against his forehead, finding blood there and looked across to Harmony, finding her arm outstretched wanting the tag and Leo nodded in acknowledgement before he turned back to Mika. The Columbus native pulled the blonde Russian up to her feet and caught her with three European uppercuts before he threw a forearm into the side of her head to spin her around and allow him to drop her to the mat with another neckbreaker. Again she held her neck as she rolled to the side and this time, as she did so, Leander jerked up off the canvas and delivered three rolling German suplexes, bridging after he slammed Demidov down for the third time.
Dante: Three rolling German suplexes!! He’s simply bounced Mika up and down off the canvas and is looking to put the former SVW Champion away here!
One…
Two…
…
Kelly: Just a two and a half count. For all her bullshit and managerial ‘advice’ that she gets from Kyle during her matches, Mika can take quite a beating.
Mika kicked out and Apollo rolled to the side and came to his feet, measuring the Russian up as she pushed to her feet before he charged towards her, leaving his feet and drove a superman punch into her jaw. The blow connected with such force that it spun Mika around before she flopped face down onto the canvas. Weakly she tried to push up only to fall back down before she could get her hands and knees underneath her and the Red Comet rolled her over, dropped to his knees and hooked her leg as he made the cover.
Dante: Superman Punch! Leander Apollo with shades of Samara Steele right there!
Kelly: Could that be a glimpse into her future? A little taster of what’s going to happen at Climax when she goes one on one with the Succubus on the undercard… before I Main Event against Princess Cinderella stood on the ring apron up there.
One…
Two…
...THR-
Dante: Almost! Referee’s hand was falling fast as Mika kicked out.
Mika kicked out causing Apollo to roll away and he made the tag to Harmony, exchanging a couple of words with his partner as he moved back towards Mika, pulling her up from her knees to her feet and yanking her into a knee driven into her breadbasket with such force that it causes her legs to buckle and her to fall onto her knees. He again pulls her upwards and this time spikes her head first into the ring mat with a DDT, rolling out to the apron as he delivers the move and allowing Harmony to deliver a leg drop across the back of Mika’s head. The Russian rolled away and started to rise to her feet only for Harmony to measure her up before she charged towards the ropes and used them for a springboard into a hurricanrana that sent Mika back down to the mat momentarily as the Russian used the momentum of the move to roll through to one knee. As she pushed upwards, Harmony grabbed hold of her arms and took her down to the canvas with a swinging neckbreaker.
Kelly: After hanging out on the corner all match, Harmony finally gets involved in this one and is dominating the worn down former Champion.
Dante: As you pointed out though, Kelly, Mika and Emma showed excellent tag team prowess to isolate the Columbus native so he couldn’t tag in the fresh woman.
Mika held her neck once more as she began to rise from the mat and Harmony hooked her head once more, reaching to grab hold of her ring attire as she did so and spiked her headfirst into the ring with an impaler DDT. Quickly Harmony rolled the Russian onto her back and made the cover, hooking the leg as she did so.
One…
Two…
...THR-
Dante: Harmony continuing to work over the neck of the former Champion and she almost had her right there.
Kelly: I suppose these are her veteran instincts kicking in as she works over the already injured neck of her opponent. And she’s sapping her energy by making her kick out I suppose? Not at all trying to make a point of pinning the FORMER Champion.
Mika kicked out and Harmony nodded her head as Rocca confirmed the count to her, the Londoner pulling the Russian to her feet and sending her into the ropes, catching her on the return with a big boot to her face that sent her down to the mat. Again the Russian rolled and tried to get her feet underneath her only to get her head hooked by her opponent and dragged towards a neutral corner, using the turnbuckle pads to deliver a Shiranui that slammed the back of Mika’s head into the canvas. Harmony wasted no time at all in bringing her blonde nemesis to her feet and snapped off a quick suplex and again pulled Demidov upwards and into another snap suplex. Mika rolled onto her hands and knees and began to crawl away; slowly getting to her feet before Harmony took her back down to the mat once more with a corkscrew DDT. Once more the Englishwoman makes the cover on the former SVW Champion.
Dante: If she’s trying to make a point she’s trying to make it again… Personally I’d be more worried about the impressively executed and varied offence Harmony is displaying right about now.
One…
Two…
...THRE-
Kelly: But it’s still not getting a three count Dante and we shouldn’t forget this is her fighting a woman who’s already been worn down some, while she’s still fresh as a daisy.
Mika rolled her shoulder at the final moment and Harmony looked towards Rocca, the referee showing her the two count causing Burroughs to shake her head as she pushed up to her feet, waving Mika upwards. She waited until the blonde got all the way to her feet before she caught her with a lungblower, sending her back down to the mat. Again Harmony returned to her feet and waved Mika upwards, letting her get to one knee before she took off and drove a boot into the side of her head with a shining wizard. Mika collapsed to the canvas and rolled onto her back allowing Harmony to make another cover, hooking the leg once more.
Dante: Knockout shot?!?! Those big long legs of hers really allow Harmony to build up some momentum when she swings them and can pack one Hell of a wallop when they connect!
Kelly: We get it. She has long legs. Just means it’s further for her foot to move and more precious time to block them or counter them when she tries to use them.
One…
Two…
….THRE-
Before the referee could complete the three count, Emma entered the ring and drove an elbow drop into the top of Harmony’s spine. She got back to her feet and was about to go for another when she spotted Leo entering the ring and instead dropped to her back and rolled to the outside, telling the referee to get the man to leave. As Rocca went to cut off Apollo and force him back to the corner, Emma rolled back into the ring and came quickly to her feet as Harmony was trying to bring SVW’s Empress to a vertical base; MacNamara spun the leggy woman around and delivered a throat thrust. Harmony’s hands went to her throat and she tried to catch her breath and Emma drove a kick into her boot, glaring at Leo over the referee’s shoulder as she jerked Harmony backwards and into a piledriver. The Ohio native shoved past the referee and charged towards Emma as she got to her feet, leaving his feet and caught her with a modified flying forearm come Thesz Press, landing on top of her and began to hammer away at her face with his closed fists.
Dante: Once more Rocca gets played like a violin by Mika and Emma and Harmony’s made to pay.
Kelly: Looks like Emma’s being made to pay too, the way Apollo’s smacking her around with those hammer like fists at the moment. Doesn’t look to me like he’s planning to stop nor tire any time soon.
Rocca immediately advanced on him and started the count on the man, threaten to disqualify him; when she got to four and Leander was shown no signs of stopping she caught his arm and used it to pull him backwards. He rolled away and came up to his feet, taking a deep breath as he came face to face with Rocca, held his hands up and moved backwards to his corner, stepping out to the apron and taking hold of the tag rope as Emma also rolled out of the ring and made her way around the ring back to her corner. Meanwhile, Mika and Harmony had started to rise to their feet and Demidov used the preoccupied referee to her advantage, raking her fingers down Harmony’s face temporarily blinding her before she locked in a hammerlock that she turned into the Golden Buster, standing hammerlock DDT. The two legal women lay on the mat; Mika on her back, Harmony on her front. As Emma and Leander left the ring, the two legal wrestlers began to stir, Harmony getting to her feet first and fired off a roundhouse kick that Mika ducked underneath and came up behind Harmony, grabbing hold of her arms before she dropped to her knees and delivered a Russian Suplex, backslide pin.
Kelly: Russian Suplex!!! Harmony’s snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!!
One…
Two…
...THRE-
Dante: NO!!!!!!!! Harmony needs to dig deep and find something though to swing the momentum back towards her team. Especially as Emma’s on her way in!!
Harmony kicked out at the last moment, rolled to her knees and began to rise only for Mika to hook her head and drive her straight down into the mat with a sitout facebuster. Mika rolled away and looked up at Emma in her corner before she started to crawl the short distance towards her and dove to make the pin. Emma stepped through the ropes as Harmony began to rise and the Scottish wrestler pulled Harmony upwards only to lift her off her feet and drop her face first into the top turnbuckle with a snake eyes. Harmony landed on her feet and started to stagger backwards but as she did so, Emma lashed out with a roundhouse kick that caught the Londoner across the shoulders to send her falling to her knees and across the middle rope. Instantly Emma jumped onto her back, pulling the middle rope upwards as she cut off Harmony’s air. Rocca was right there on the scene with the five count that the Scot milked for every moment that she could, releasing but only to jerk on the rope, snapping it into Harmony’s throat causing her to fall backwards to the mat.
Kelly: Emma’s using the ring like it’s another tag team partner here as she looks to hurt Harmony.
Dante: And given their history, this could escalate quickly. Emma’s already starting to flirt with disqualification.
The Londoner held the back of her head and rolled to the side only for Emma to pull her up to her feet, draping her arm over her neck before she lifted her vertically, holding her there for a moment before she dropped her down to the canvas with a brainbuster. Emma rolled to her feet as they hit the mat and looked down at her opponent before she took off across the ring, leaping onto the middle rope and hurling herself backwards into a moonsault...landing straight across Harmony’s knees as the Englishwoman gets her knees up.
Dante: NOOO!!! Harmony got her knees up and Emma crashed right down across them. Had to be sheer instinct from Harmony!
Kelly: Veteran instincts right there, you mean.
Dante: And something you’re going to have to look out for and factor in come Climax. If she’s going to show those sort of instincts against high flying moves, you could be in for a long night.
Harmony rolled across the canvas to the ring ropes, pulling herself up to her feet as Emma got to hers and the Scot instantly tried to reassert her advantage by charging towards her foe...only for Harmony to bring her boot upwards. Emma staggered backwards but didn’t go down as Harmony forced herself to step forward and jump into the air with a standing dropkick sending her back to mat once again. Emma rolled to one side and began to rise to a vertical base as Harmony did likewise and MacNamara attempted to catch her by surprise with a spinning backfist. Again the Englishwoman ducked the blow, catching Emma once more as she snapped her forward and into a cradle pinfall with a Ranhei.
One…
Two…
...THR-
Dante: NO!! Another near fall for Harmony. You can bad mouth her all you want, but surely you’ve gotta recognise that she’s a fighter who simply won’t give up.
Kelly: I’ve never said that she’s a bad wrestler, Dante - after all she beat Luther and Misty to get this chance at Climax. I just don’t think she has what it takes to beat me.
Emma kicked out of the hold and started to come to her feet as Harmony beat her to a vertical base only for MacNamara to hurl herself from her knees towards her legs, tackling her back down to the mat. Emma scrambled to beat Harmony back to her feet, catching her with a leaping knee to the jaw. Emma landed on her feet as Burroughs landed on her back and started to sit up; the Scottish woman coming up behind her and quickly grabbed one of her famous forty inch legs as she locked in a stump puller submission hold. Harmony’s face grimaced in agony as her body was compressed.
Kelly: Those long legs aren’t working out for her too well right now are they Dante? Just providing a forty inch lever for Emma to apply pressure with.
Dante: Emma’s a dangerous veteran wrestler precisely because she can turn an opponent’s strength into a weakness. Harmony needs to find someway to escape this hold and she needs to do it quickly.
The Englishwoman back to look for an escape, finding the ropes out of reach so decided to bring her free leg upwards and into a series of kicks to Emma’s head, four landing before Emma released the hold and backed up a couple of steps, Harmony rolling onto her knees and up to her feet, grabbing hold of Emma’s hand and jerked her towards her, lifting her up off her feet and delivered a spinebuster, falling to her knees as she drove her downwards and rolled away from her towards Leander and made the tag to him.
Dante: Snap spinebuster from Harmony and it’s got her an opening to make a tag and bring a rested Apollo back into the fray.
Kelly: Desperation spinebuster...Harmony’s reaching deep and starting to run out of ideas here.
Apollo stepped through the ring ropes as Emma started to rise only for him to scoop her upwards and deliver a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. The Pretty Lil Psycho’s back arched upwards as she landed on the mat and Apollo began a Garvin stomp on him, driving his boot into each limb causing Emma to roll over onto her front as he continued the circle and he started to drive his boots into her spine. He delivered five blows to her spine before he pulled her upwards and sent her flying through the air and into a rough landing on the canvas with an exploder suplex. Emma rolls through and gets to her knees only to find her head hooked from behind by Leander who dropped down with the reverse DDT and made the cover on her.
Dante: Wonderful reverse DDT and Emma’s been put behind the eight ball here as Apollo makes the cover!
One…
Two…
...THRE-
Kelly: Close, but Emma’s survival instinct kicks in and the match goes on. Can Leander show the killer instinct and put this match to bed?
Emma rolled her shoulder to break up the pin and was quickly pulled upright, Leander not even waiting for Rocca to confirm the two count before he jerked her to her feet and delivered the Leo-Plex - a tiger suplex followed by a dragon suplex and into a bridging X-Plex. Again Rocca dove into position to make the count.
Dante: Leo-Plex!! This could end the match right here!!
One…
Two…
...THRE-
Kelly: No!!! So close, but Emma somehow managed to get the shoulder up off the canvas.
Dante: And I think Apollo might actually be happy that he gets to continue pummelling Emma.
Once more Emma managed to get her shoulder up off the canvas and was again brought up off the mat by her opponent who slammed her back down with a high impact butterfly suplex - the Lunatic High. He didn’t bother going for the pinfall this time, pulling her back up again and into a fireman’s carry, hurling her forward into a European Uppercut as he completed the Meteor Hammer. She collapsed to the canvas and he fell down on top of her to make the cover, hooking the legs as he did so.
One….
Two…
...THREE!!!!!!!!!!
Dante: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought he had it right there!!!
Kelly: Emma’s barely moved since he caught her with the European Uppercut to the jaw - she might be out cold and this could just be delaying the inevitable.
At the very last moment Mika made it into the ring to break up the pinfall with a knee drop to the back of his head, causing him to roll away, holding the back of his skull and Mika immediately started to back up to her corner as Harmony started to come into the ring only for the Londoner to see the Russian retreating and start to step back to the outside. Leo shook his head as he began to rise up to his feet, only for Mika to springboard off the ropes and deliver a springboard spear into his middle, causing him to collapse to the mat while Harmony found herself unable to intervene thanks to Kyle Kilmeade jerking her ankle out from underneath her and causing her to land awkwardly on the middle rope before she fell sideways, tumbling and hitting the side of her head against the apron before landing on her hands and knees. The manager backing away from her quickly as she started to slowly rise and Rocca went straight to Mika, ordering her out of the ring. The blonde Russian nodded in acceptance, smirking at the referee as she returned to her corner and theatrically raised the tag rope towards the official.
Dante: Rocca’s clearing Mika out of the ring but it might already be too late. The damage has been done with that springboard spear into his gut.
Kelly: Mika had the count of five to get out of the ring, Dante and she used that little bit of leeway to buy Emma a few more moments to recover.
In the ring, Emma began to rise, catching Apollo as he got to his feet with a kick into his gut before she double underhooked his arms and jumped backwards, spiking his head into the canvas. She rolled away and came to her feet, as Apollo began to push up, she waited till he was on all fours and then charged towards him, leaving her feet and delivered a curbstomp that drove him face first into the canvas and Emma landed on her feet. She turned towards the corner and staggered purposefully towards it, climbing to the top and looked between her legs, measuring up Leander before she launched herself backwards into the Fall From Grace high angle Senton bomb that caused her to crash down across Apollo’s stomach. She sat up for a couple of moments, holding her spine before she leaned back, grabbing hold of his leg and made the cover.
Dante: FALL FROM GRACE!!!! Emma landed all of it right across Leander’s chest and she’s got the cover here!
Kelly: Stick a fork in him. He’s done.
One…
Two…
...THREE!!!!!!!!NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Dante: Not too quick Kelly. Somehow the Red Comet is still in this one!!
Apollo rolled the shoulder at the very last second and Emma shook her head as looked to Rocca, asking for the three only for the referee to show her two fingers. Again she asked - no demanded - the three count and again Rocca shook her head no. Emma rose to her feet, glaring a hole through the head official, taking deep breaths before she turned her attention back to Apollo, waving him up to his feet. As he got there she took off towards him and leapt onto his shoulders, looking to snap off the Playing With Scissors headscissors DDT only for Leander to catch her and block the move, looking to counter only for the Scottish veteran to swing her body around and onto his shoulders before she threw her weight forward and into a victory roll. Rocca slid quickly into position as Mika darted into the ring to cut off Harmony.
Dante: PLAYING WITH SCIS--NO!!!! VICTORY ROLL!!!!! Apollo’s caught!!
One…
Two…
...THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apollo’s shoulder popped up a second too late; Rocca already calling for the bell as Mika wrapped her arms around Emma and helped her to her feet. The pair started to stomp at Leander before Mika dropped to her knees and looked to re-open the cut above his eye before he rolled out of the ring and off the apron.
John: Here are your winners, by way of pinfall… the team of…. “THE RED STAR” MIKA DEMIDOV AND “THE PRETTY LIL PSYCHO” EMMA MACNAMARA!!!!
Dante: Emma MacNamara squeaks out a hard fought victory for her team tonight and I can’t imagine Leander’s going to be any happier as a result of taking the pinfall tonight.
Kelly: It was definitely a see-saw match up tonight that could have gone either way. Both teams had chances to win it, but it just wasn’t to be for Leander and Harmony tonight. Good warm up for her as it won’t be her night at Climax either, no matter who she brings in her little cheer squad.
Dante: That’s all we’ve got time for tonight but join us at Aggression - two titles on the line as Luci defends the Pride Championship in a triple threat against Mistress Vivi and Sydney Holt. While the main event will see Mr Main Event, David Cyclone defend the Defiance Championship against a man who wants to literally tear him limb from limb - Shane Atwater - in an “I Quit” match!!! You do NOT want to miss it.
Rocca raised both their hands as the crowd booed them loudly; the pair celebrating their victory as the show faded off the air.
