Atlanta, Georgia
Episode XVIII
Pyro blasts from the stage before we rest on the announcer's table.
Lily Luna: Welcome to The Alternative! I'm Lily Luna alongside Chris Pierce, and what a show we have in store for tonight, Chris.
Chris Pierce: What a show last week as well, tonight we'll hopefully get some insight from Duncan Aries.
Lily Luna: Well, we have a couple of debuts in store for tonight, and we're getting to start off with one of them.
Deimos emerges from the back as he begins his walk to the ring.
Jen Brunelli: This opening contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, making his AXW Debut, from Portland, Oregon, weighing in at 310 pounds, DEIMOS!
Deimos enters the ring as he waits for his opponent.
The lights all go out and "Miseria Cantare" by AFI starts as a single spotlight shines on the entrance as Damien Steele is standing in the entrance hair in front of his face as at the 45 second mark of the song. Damien flips his hair back and starts to walk down to the ring, as the words of the song start.
Jen Brunelli: And his opponent, representing The Shooters, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 221 pounds, "The Vicious One" DAMIEN STEELE!
LOVE... YOUR HATE...
Damien Steele makes no connection to any fans that might be throwing insults his way, almost as if he is only focused on the ring, and more specifically his opponent.
YOUR... FAITH LOST...
Steele reaches the ring as he walks around to the steps.
YOU... ARE NOW...
Damien waits at the bottom of the steps keeping his eyes on his opponent.
ONE... OF US...
A wicked smile comes across his face as the words of the song repeat again just a little bit faster this time.
LOVE... YOUR HATE... YOUR... FAITH LOST... YOU... ARE NOW... ONE... OF US...
Steele takes one step up the steps, still keeping his eyes locked on his opponent till he reaches the top step and wipes his feet before entering the ring never taking his eyes off his opponent.
vs. 
Damien tries to take out the legs of Deimos by kicking them, until Deimos catches his leg and takes him down with a short arm clothesline. Deimos stays in control by connecting with an exploder suplex, Damien using the corner to help himself up only for Deimos to come in with a Ballistic Punching Combo, followed by a belly-to-belly suplex. Deimos locks in a double underhook, but Damien gets out of it and hits a step-up enzuigiri to Deimos. Deimos is groggy, and Damien comes off the ropes with a springboard stunner, causing Deimos to teeter as if he is about to fall. Damien runs off the ropes and gets rocked with The Halberd (Straight uppercut), Deimos earning his first win in AXW.
Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, DEIMOS!
Lily Luna: A quick win for Deimos in his debut.
Chris Pierce: And over the longest reigning Light Heavyweight Champion, which is no easy feat, unless you're Deimos.
-----
The screen cuts to static, before coming back onto four people, all wearing The Takeover Neoprene Masks.
Leland Alexander: Our mission is not over.
Macolm M. Mitchell: We took over EWS, and we're not stopping there.
Velvet Valentine: We are taking over AXW.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: And it starts right now.
Zoey walks off, while the remaining three stare into the camera as we fade back to ringside.
-----
"If you're listening, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa!"
"Sweetness" hits as Zoey Mathews-Mitchell emerges from behind the curtain. She stands on the stage, back facing the ring, her arms outspread with hands open. She turns around, now facing the ring, and quickly throws her arms into the air, her hands in a fist, except for her pointer fingers which are extended, as pyro blasts on the stage. She lowers her arms and begins walking down the ramp.
Jen Brunelli: This next contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, representing The Takeover, from Riviera Beach, Florida, ZOEY MATHEWS-MITCHELL!
She high fives some of the fans at ringside, before climbing onto the apron. She scans the crowd, and raises one arm into the air, before jumping over the top rope. She climbs onto a turnbuckle and throws her arms out to her sides, before raising them into the air, similar to what she did on the stage.
The lights in the arena go out, one by one, until the entire arena is blanketed in complete darkness. A few seconds pass of this, the crowd cheering loudly, eagerly awaiting whatever is going to come next. The JumboTron comes to life with a neon pink butterfly, slowly flapping its wings against darkness. With every flap of its wings, the arena lights pulse. The flapping gets faster and faster, until finally, the butterfly explodes into glitter. When it does, a stage-wide blast of pink and purple pyro explodes across the stage and as the screen fills with the words "Stutterfly" Starla Gardevoir, "Endless Possibility" by Jaret Reddick begins playing over the sound system!
This is my escape
I'm running through this world
And I'm not looking back
The crowd explodes in a flurry of cheers as Starla Gardevoir struts onto the stage and points to the crowd, grinning. She moves to each side of the stage, posing for the fans, then comes back to the center of the stage before dropping to one knee and posing as a shower of pink pyro begins falling behind her!
Jen Brunelli: And her opponent, making her AXW Debut, from Panama City, Florida, "Stutterfly" STARLA GARDEVOIR!
'Cause I know I can go
Where no one's ever gone
And I'm not looking back
Starla stands up, still grinning from ear to ear, and then quickly bounds down the ramp, slapping fan's hands along the way. Towards the bottom of the ramp, she stops and turns back to the stage, then poses with her back to the ring. Starla turns back and laughs, then makes her way around ringside, high-fiving fans as she goes.
But how will I know when I get there?
And how will I know when to leave?
We've all got to start from somewhere
It's like that for me
The possibilities are never ending
After a quick trip around the ring, Starla runs towards the ring apron facing the stage and leaps up, turning in midair and sliding from one side of the apron to the other on one knee. Starla stands up and steps over the second rope, then leans in slowly, showcasing her butt for the cheering male fans before entering the ring completely.
I see it, I see it
And now it's all within my reach
Endless possibility
I see it, I see it now
It's always been inside of me
And now I feel so free
Endless possibility
Starla then heads up to the top of the nearest turnbuckle and poses once more. With the fans still cheering, Starla does a backflip off the top rope and lands on her feet, then walks over to the corner across the ring and leans against it, rolling her head back and forth as the music fades.
vs. 
The two former Goddess Champions circle the ring, before coming in with a test of strength. The test goes back and forth a few times, until Zoey once again takes control, and locks in a side headlock. Starla pushes her off to the ropes and takes her down with a shoulder tackle. Starla runs the ropes and looks to take Zoey down with a clothesline, but Zoey counters with an arm trap neckbreaker. Zoey rocks Starla with a European uppercut then plants her with a lifting DDT, and hits a standing leg drop in one quick sequence. Zoey whips Starla but Starla reverses, sending Zoey to the ropes instead and hits a spinebuster. Starla hits the same sequence Zoey did, European uppercut, lifting DDT, but one ups her with a standing shooting star press instead of the leg drop. Starla grabs Zoey's head and runs up the turnbuckles for a Sliced Bread #2. Starla climbs to the top rope, but Zoey prevents her from doing anything, as she brings Starla back to the mat with a super belly-to-belly suplex. Zoey drives her knee into the back of Starla with a double underhook backbreaker, then goes to the second rope for a diving back elbow. Zoey connects with a dragon suplex, bridging in a pin which Starla kicks out at two. Zoey looks to set up for the Z4 (C4), but Starla elbows Zoey before countering into a snap suplex. Zoey is quick to get up and runs at Starla who catches Zoey with a spinning sidewalk slam before connecting with a split legged corkscrew moonsault. Starla connects with a corkscrew neckbreaker, and pulls herself up to the top rope, however Zoey again stops her by throwing a punch. Zoey climbs up with her, and looks to bring her down with a top rope frankensteiner, but Starla hangs on, and counters into a super powerbomb! Getting a close two count, Starla brings Zoey to her feet, where Zoey hits her with a jawbreaker. Zoey grabs Starla and connects with a Z4, the crowd chanting along as she covers.
One!
Two!
Three--OOOHHH!
Starla manages to kick out at the last possible fraction of a second, and Zoey is in shock. Zoey grabs Starla's legs, trying for the Vertabender (Haas of Pain), but Starla kicks her away. Zoey tries to quickly go back on the attack, but Starla hits a dropkick that sends Zoey stumbling backwards into the corner. Starla hooks Zoey's head and plants her with the 343 Guilty Spark (Tornado DDT), then climbs up to the top rope, and dives off with the Red Ring of Death (Swanton Bomb), the crowd chanting with referee Brian Sullivan as she covers.
One!
Two!
Three!
Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, STARLA GARDEVOIR!
Lily Luna: What a match. The crowd giving a standing ovation to these two ladies.
Chris Pierce: As they should. The Women's Division is really picking up.
Starla celebrates her win for a few moments, and when she is about to leave the ring, Zoey stops her. Zoey offers her hand and the ladies shake, before pulling in for a hug as we cut to commercial.

"Code Red" by Nonpoint blares as a red light shines down on the ramp, flashing and flickering as Bruiser Lazzou emerges to a chorus of boos in a black singlet with a red hazard symbol on it, cracking his knuckles and then slapping his face, roaring and then pounding his chest before heading to the ring, yelling "OPEN FOR BUSINESS!" to fans, some of the younger ones still so traumatized by this once beloved hero.
Jen Brunelli: This next contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, from Augusta, Maine, weighing in at 325 pounds, BRUISER LAZZOU!
He enters the ring and runs the ropes, stomping his feet like a bull and roaring once again with his arms extended and his head tilted back, roaring once more as his music fades out. He snatches the microphone from Jen.
Bruiser Lazzou: TRENT! Cletus! One or both of you better be the one walking down the ramp as my opponent tonight, because if you aren't, the poor soul who does walk down that ramp will have his last match ever.
Bruiser hands the microphone back to Jen.
Lily Luna: Well, this isn't TRENT's or Cletus' music....
"Hate Me" by Blue October plays of the P.A. system as the camera pans over the arena stopping at the entrance way as Danny Hall, sporting a fur vest, strolls down to the ring stopping sometimes to yell at children.
Jen Brunelli: And his opponent, making his AXW Debut, from Camden, Tennessee, weighing in at 220 pounds, "Mr. Most Hated" DANNY HALL!
When he gets to the ring he rolls under the bottom rope to sit in the corner then he stands up.....in the corner.
vs. 
Danny tries to lock up with the former AXW Champion, but Lazzou just shoves him down to the mat. Danny throws punches at Lazzou, but again Lazzou pushes him away, Danny bouncing off the ropes and gets turned inside out from a clothesline from Lazzou. Lazzou gets Danny in the corner and starts pummeling him, until referee John Hendon gets in between and causes separation. Bruiser backs up and then goes back in, but Danny ducks and gets out of the corner, and catches Lazzou with an enzuigiri. Lazzou stumbles out of the corner, and Danny tries to whip Lazzou into into the ropes, but Lazzou doesn't budge, and whips Danny to the ropes. Lazzou goes for another clothesline but Danny ducks it and keeps going, on the rebound hitting a front dropkick. Lazzou staggers backwards a bit, and gets hit with a Shot Heard Round The World (Superkick). Danny tries to lift Lazzou onto his shoulders but gets crushed as Lazzou's weight falls on him. Lazzou connects with a Deadliest Catch (Double Powerbomb), then brings Danny to the corner, where he sets up Bruised and Battered (Top Rope Samoan Drop), pinning Hall.
Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, BRUISER LAZZOU!
Lily Luna: I'm not sure why BWF's Danny Hall came out instead of TRENT or Cletus, I'm still confused by the whole thing.
Chris Pierce: Well, in traditional Danny Hall fashion, he continues to lose.
Lily Luna: Did you not see BWF Beta Test? Danny won a match!
Chris Pierce: Yes, against an inanimate stuffed purple skunk, also called Danny Hall.
After the match, Bruiser drags Danny near a corner, and looks to hit a Bruiser Bomb (Vader Splash), but gets nailed in the back by Cletus Mathews with his chair. TRENT slides into the ring, wearing a t-shirt of the punk band Misfits, as TRENT, Cletus, and Danny attack Bruiser Lazzou. Bruiser manages to shove all three away, and picks up Cletus' chair, as the three men quickly scurry out of the ring. The three back up the ramp together as we cut backstage.

Gina Furlow: Ladies and gentlemen, AXW Light Heavyweight Champion, Ryan Starr! Ryan...
Gina backs off frame as a not too happy Damien Steele approaches Ryan Starr.
Damien Steele: You have something that doesn't belong to you.
Ryan Starr: You look familiar... oh yeah, you're the guy that got wrecked by Deimos earlier!
Damien Steele: Don't act like he wouldn't have done the same to you, small fry, I'm not in the mood for games, I want my championship back.
Ryan Starr: Your championship? Maybe you should talk to Luke Mathews to see if he can put you in that Hailey Harris vs. Janet Hurricane match tonight then.
Damien Steele: You think you're so funny, huh? Laugh at this:
Damien throws a punch at Starr, Starr blocks it and the two start to brawl, until TO'A comes along and throws Starr into a wall. Damien picks up the AXW Light Heavyweight Championship, looks at it, and then tosses it at the downed Starr.
Damien Steele: Keep it clean for me.
Steele and TO'A walk off as we head back to ringside.

“Playing The Saint” by Digital Summer blares as the lights dim and the crowd boos, even through the ice blue pyros that explode, Aries with his back to the crowd, before spinning around, that smug grin on his face from under a pair of blue tinted Aviator sunglasses. Aries is clad in his new “Aries Of Spades” t-shirt, the AXW Championship over his shoulder as he strides confidently to the ring, the crowd spewing hate for him with every step.
Lily Luna: Obviously this is a new Duncan Aries, and I for one don’t like it.
Aries is in the ring, calling for a mic as he raises the AXW Championship high in the air, the chorus of boos continuing to rain down as his music fades.
Duncan Aries: You know, before we get started I just wanted to take a moment to offer a shout out to my good buddy, my ol’ pal Magnum Wolf. How ya doing, man? Now I know it’s not hijacking an entire show, but I figured if you were allowed to do that, it wouldn’t be a problem to ol’ Luke The Puke or the BWF brass if I hijacked this championship, put some nobody on the shelf, and took this championship as my own. I mean, does anybody even remember the 67 days Wolf held this title? Nah, me neither. I do remember him having a little butt buddy stooge with him and then getting his ass kicked by Just..Just..I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
Aries begins laughing, trying not to fall on the ground, the crowd giving him serious heat. Aries steadies himself, like he’s trying to get ready for a big speech.
Duncan Aries: I’m sorry, it’s just I find that whole thing hilarious. You had to be there. Bottom line in that respect, Magnum Wolf is an ass, while Duncan Aries has class. Thank you, thank you very much!”
Aries does a mocking bow, before patting himself on the back and continuing.
Duncan Aries: But why? Why would I just interject myself into a match, injure the champion and take this championship as my own? Well aside from the obvious point of because I can, just like always in the history of this once pathetic little Luke The Puke pet project, AXW, its mediocre roster, its definitely mediocre bosses, and you, the mediocre people of AXW, need me!
Aries pauses, his arms outstretched, like someone waiting for a hug, as the crowd boos him like mad.
Duncan Aries: Oh come on, admit it, you do! I mean seriously, I came into this company, beat some guy, I forget his name, had this championship, let Luke The Puke borrow it for a cup of coffee, took it back, and then moved onto bigger and better things. And then, then you guys had Just..Just..I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I won’t laugh this time. You had THAT guy as your champion, and then Wolf PMSed behind the scenes because guys like me, Cassidy, and everyone within a 5 mile radius were beginning to take the spotlight so they gave the championship to him, then back to THAT GUY because even Luke knows Wolf can’t draw like he used to, you know how it is. Blah, blah, some fat old guy, and then some bag of douche nobody named Crash. Crash? Think about that for a second, you guys were told to cheer for some musclehead doofus with the same first name as a video game character. By George, that’s marketing brilliance, Luke! No wonder AXW has been, well, pretty shitty without me, but you already knew that.
Duncan Aries: So I took this championship because you all deserve a better champion, and there really hasn’t been any real good ones since I left so I’m sure no one will mind if I borrow this, say, oh I don’t know, forever? It’s for the good of you, the people of AXW, because nobody knows better than I do that if you want this championship or this company to mean anything again, you need me, Duncan Aries. I know some of you might not like this, but..
Aries takes off his shades, giving us a cold, merciless stare.
Duncan Aries: Sorry, not sorry.
Aries drops the mic before “Playing The Saint” hits again, as he turns to make his way out of the ring.
FRIDAYS!
“Like A Prayer” by Madonna plays through the speakers providing a peppy ambiance. The entire arena goes dark momentarily as “Sister Inferior” Olya Latanya Oglovska enters from the ramp with a pair of opera binoculars in her right hand. Three spotlights highlight various audience members who have striking physical attributes. As Olya walks down to the ramp she fans herself with a bidder paddle.
Jen Brunelli: This next contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Saratov, Russia, "Sister Inferior" OLYA OGLOVSKA!
Upon reaching the arena floor and within clear eye line of her opponent, all three spotlights converge. Oglovska raises her bidder paddle to indicate she plans on procuring another priceless artifact for her exhibit.
"Slip It In" hits as Marina comes out holding a bag in one hand and a cat o' nine tails in the other. Gimp follows behind her crawling on the ground.
Jen Brunelli: And her opponent, making her AXW Debut, accompanied to the ring by Gimp, from North Hollywood, California, MARINA BLUE!
She drops the bag at her corner and enters the ring, cracking the whip a few times before the ref can stop her.
vs. 
The ladies lock up and Marina knees Olya in the gut. Marina lifts Olya up for a suplex. Marina takes Olya back down with an inverted DDT. Olya creates some space with a slap, Marina tries for a clothesline which Olya ducks and hits a Russian Leg Sweep to Marina. Olya connects with a Sombo Suplex, Fisherwoman's Suplex, and a Dragon Suplex. Olya gets Marina to her feet and Marina hits a roundhouse kick from out of nowhere. Marina kick Olya in the gut then runs the ropes and kicks Olya in the back of the head with an Axe Kick. Marina continues her onslaught of kicks with a super kick, then heads to the apron before coming back in with a springboard leg drop. Marina slams Olya on the mat then heads to the top rope and dives off with a corkscrew moonsault, except Olya rolls out of the way. Olya takes advantage with a small package which gets a two count, then as both get up a Wheelbarrow Suplex to Marina. At this time, Gimp climbs onto the apron, distracting the referee, which allows Marina to low blow Olya, before connecting with a hurricanrana. Olya is propped against the bottom turnbuckle which allows Marina to head out to the apron and come flying at Olya with the Dirtpipe Milkshake (Van Terminator), but once again Olya moves out of the way. Olya takes Marina down with a Gnostic Orthodox [Crucifix Pin] which gets her a three count.
Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, OLYA OGLOVSKA!
Before anything else can happen, Marina shoves her fingers down Olya's throat with a Gag Factor, before slamming her down with an STO. Marina props Olya back against the bottom rope, this time Gimp holds Olya in place, as Marina connects with the Dirtpipe Milkshake.

We cut backstage to Max Kilburne.
Max Kilburne: Ladies and gentlemen, TRENT, Cletus Mathews, and Danny Hall.
The three step into frame.
Max Kilburne: Gentlemen, you requested this time, so the floor is yours.
TRENT snatches the microphone from Max and pushes him off camera. TRENT, standing in the middle, looks to both men.
TRENT: This is a familiar sight ain't it? TRENT hanging out with two other dudes, except this time is different. We're not here to goof off, we're here to make a statement. Look at Cletus, he's a man who has a legitimate handicap, and what does every company he's been in do? They make him a comedic act because he's different. Look at Danny, he's a man who gets put into matches against stuffed purple skunks. And me, we all know about Chicks and America. But we aren't Chicks and America...
TRENT looks down at his Misfits t-shirt.
TRENT: We're The Misfits. And who's someone that fits right in with the rest of us? Bruiser Lazzou. It wasn't long ago when Lenny ran around dressed as a lobster. He's just like us, except he wants to go in business for himself. And I say, good luck to you sir, because without me, you're like a treadmill. You can run as fast as you want, but you won't be going anywhere. That might be a bad analogy, have you seen the man? I don't think he even knows what a treadmill is.
The Misfits share a laugh as they walk off frame.
-----
‘War Machine’ begins to play, as the crowd rises to their feet. The song plays out with the white spots lights zooming around the arena until the 33 second mark when the drums kick in and Austin Graves steps out from the back, checking the black hockey tape on his wrists.
Jen Brunelli: This next contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 245 pounds, "War Machine" AUSTIN GRAVES!
Graves pays no attention to the crowd whether they boo or cheer him, and he’s focused like a laser beam on the task at hand. Rolling into the ring under the bottom rope, he rolls to his feet and walks over to the hard (tv) camera side of the ropes, placing both hands on the top ropes, pressing down on them slightly, staring coldly into the camera at first, then giving way to a cold, almost sick half smile as if to say, “I’m going to enjoy this…”
"Second Sucks" by A Day to Remember plays and out walks Toa with the towel, drenched in blood, wrapped around his neck. He is staring down on the ground and listening to the boos and cheers coming from the fans.
"FIGHT"
Once he hears the opening line, he starts walking down the ramp, still not showing his face.
Jen Brunelli: And his opponent, representing The Shooters, from the Isle of Samoa, weighing in at 280 pounds, "Samoan Executioner" TO'A!
When he walks up the steel steps and enters the ring, he throws the towel on the ground and does a battle cry.
vs. 
The two slowly approach each other, as they both wait for the other to make a move first. They both end up just throwing fists at the same time. TO'A ducks a punch which allows him to execute the Toa-Plex (German suplex followed into a dragon suplex and finished with an X-Plex). After this TO'A immediately hits a Samoan Elbow (Feint leg drop transitioned into an elbow drop to the opponent's chest). TO'A gets a two count then brings Graves to his feet. Graves hits a Double Knee Facebreaker, and then a Standing somersault legdrop. Graves gets TO'A in the corner and hits Rapid double palm strikes to his chest. Graves backs away, then runs back in but TO'A catches him with the Warrior Slam (One-armed side slam). TO'A now gets Graves in the corner and throws various strikes, topping them off with the Executioner (Jumping twisting enzuigiri while facing away from a cornered opponent). As Graves slumps down in the corner, TO'A comes in with a Samoan Wrecking Ball (Running hip attack to the head of an opponent seated in the corner with theatrics). TO'A gets Graves to his feet and tries to end it with FOR SAMOA! (Samoan Spike), but Graves ducks it and quickly kicks TO'A in the gut, looking to set him up for Cradle 2 Grave (Package Piledriver), but TO'A counters with a back body drop. TO'A runs at Graves but Graves pulls the rope down and TO'A goes out to the floor. Graves runs the ropes before leaping out with a Suicide Senton Atomico. The two continue to fight outside the ring, throwing fists before Graves forces TO'A into the barricade, TO'A responds by forcing Graves into the ring apron. TO'A now throws Graves into the barricade before clotheslining him over. TO'A climbs over after him, but Graves throws a chair at him, then leaves through the crowd, saying screw it to the match. The thrown chair results in a disqualification, as the count got to 16, almost resulting in a double count out.
Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner as a result of a disqualification, TO'A!
Lily Luna: I guess the match didn't go the way Austin Graves wanted it to.
Chris Pierce: He lives to fight another day. He deemed this match not worthy of his time.
We return from commercials to see Caitlin Shay seated at commentary.
Jen Brunelli: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Main Event! The winner of the match will receive and AXW Women's Championship Match first, and the loser will get an AXW Women's Championship Match second.
The tunes of "Unbreakable" by Fireflight pulse over the PA system as pink and purple strobelights flash and pulse. Hailey emerges, bouncing up and down, firing the crowd up before sprinting down the ramp, slapping hands with fans, both of her arms extended.
Jen Brunelli: Introducing first, from Baltimore, Maryland, "The Long Shot" HAILEY HARRIS!
She slides into the ring and scales a turnbuckle, one hand on her hip, the other raised high in the air. She jumps off the turnbuckle with a smile, prepared for her match.
Blue strobe lights roams around the arena like a trance as the opening drum beat of "Generation Lost" by Rise Against blares out of the PA system.Few seconds later out comes Janet Hurricane, her hoodie veil blinding her face. As the tempo gets faster and faster, we see her jumping up and down, still cannot see her face. Once we hear the lyrics, Janet reveals her face to the crowd and starts shadowing punching and kicking, feeling the energy of her theme song and the fans cheering.
Jen Brunelli: And her opponent, from Charlotte, North Carolina, JANET HURRICANE!
Then she starts walking her way to the ring, slapping a few hands from the crowd and bopping her head to the music. Once she enters the ring, she takes off her hoodie and does a couple of shadow boxing, again feeling the energy of the music before it fades.
vs. 
Hard hitting right off the bat as Janet takes Hailey down with a series of clotheslines, finishing them off with a sit-out facebuster. Janet gets Hailey to her feet and Hailey throws punches at Janet, before hitting her with a spinning heel kick. Hailey kicks Janet in the gut and tries to hit The Long Shot (Twist Of Fate), but Janet pushes her off and Hailey now runs the ropes, and hits Janet with a shining enzuigiri. Hailey drives Janet's head to the mat with a Baltimore Bombshell (Double Underhook snap DDT). After a two count, both ladies get to their feet and Janet catches Hailey with a spinning back fist, then connects with a snap suplex. Janet brings Hailey to her feet and plants her back down with Tropical Storm (Forward Russian Legsweep). Janet waits for Hailey to get up then springboards and kicks Hailey with the Beautiful Disaster. Janet gets Hailey in the ropes, setting up for Cry of Terror (Rope-hung DDT), but Hailey frees herself from the ropes and throws Janet over the top rope to the floor. Hailey flies out of the ring with a corkscrew plancha, then rolls Janet back into the ring. Hailey climbs to the top rope, and Janet climbs up with her. They throw punches, but Hailey ends up pushing Janet back down to the mat. Hailey leaps off with the Hailey’s Comet (450 Splash) but Janet gets her knees up, Janet quickly rolling her over with a small package which Hailey kicks out of at a very close two count. Janet gets Hailey back in the ropes and connects with the Cry of Terror, before climbing to the top rope and driving her elbow into Hailey's chest with Last Breath of Air (Diving elbow drop). After another close count, Janet waits for Hailey to get up and looks for Wrath of the Hurricane (Maryse’s Heel Kick), but Hailey ducks it and rolls her up with a schoolboy, getting a two count. Both are quick to their feet and Janet throws a clothesline, Hailey ducks and in one swift motion hits Check This Out! (Mic Check), getting the pinfall victory.
Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, HAILEY HARRIS!
Lily Luna: And Hailey gets the first title shot.
Caitlin Shay: And I'll beat her. Then I'll beat Janet. This whole thing is pointless and a colossal waste of time.
Chris Pierce: But this was your idea.
Caitlin Shay: And it was also my idea to not have these matches due to them being a waste of time, but Luke Mathews decided to go with the rough draft instead of the final copy.
Hailey celebrates and exits the ring, as a frustrated Janet Hurricane pounds the mat as she has to wait that much more longer for her one-on-one title match.
Lily Luna: Thanks for tuning into The Alternative, tune in next week for another episode of AXW!
