GRPL+ Presents QCW Ruckus [s3e38 • September 13, 2024]


Quality Arena ๐Ÿคผ Parts Unknown, FL 

Aired live on GRPL+ ๐Ÿ“บ September 13th, 2024


A video recapping AnnIVersary started Ruckus off with “Short Change Hero” by the Heavy as the background music.  Stills of Bobby Bash losing and “Explosive” Emily Bennett winning the Ace in the Hole tournament that marked his exit from QCW and her winning a cash in title shot attempt were followed by one of “the Paragon” Drake Tremble celebrating his victory over “Tiki God” Al Buffett alongside Goody Gardner and the End Times.  


The video then showed longer video highlights from the main card:


๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ Commissioner Holmes kicking off the show by announcing new World titles and Ruckus moving to Fox Sports Southeast starting in 2025 ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ Super Aviรณn collecting another mask, this time El Vengador de Gente Jr.’s but causing the end of Asesinos Aereos in the process with the Villalobos brothers reuniting to unmask rudo Aviรณn ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ


๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ In the eight woman tag Luz Cruz revealed herself to be the leader of Hysteria, stabbing Women's World champion Lolo Vuitton in the back along with Crush champion “Night Sky” Diana Spare and Ashley “THEE Influencer” Szabo leading to a five deep Hysteria winning the match๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ


๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ The main event saw Razorblade hit a Soul Crusher into thumbtacks to become the first person to pin Omar Littlefield and end his reign of terror to regain the QCW World championship. 


Afterwards, Commissioner Holmes gave him a new title and babyfaces streamed from the back to put Savage on their shoulders and celebrate his historic win…but Naz came back out to sarcastically clap in front of the Tron.  Razorblade ended up getting in his face and the longtime rivals had a staredown to end the show


๐ŸŽถ This ain't no place for no hero

This ain't no place for no better man

This ain't no place for no hero to call home ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ


Instead of the usual open, things started off inside Quality Arena where it hadn't been that raucous in...days.


We could see another sold out crowd already making noise even before Duck Eko said "Please welcome...the NEW QCW World Champion, MASON "RAZORBLADE" SAVAGE!"


The roof came off the joint so big you could barely hear "Unscripted Violence" as Razorblade came down the stairs with the neo-retro QCW World title over his shoulder, a shoulder that was getting plenty of pats as he shuffled down the stairs.  The crowd chanted "Razorblade" as he hopped over the barrier and leapt into the ring, thrusting the title sky high and setting off a barrage of gold and white pyro on the stage.  Razorblade took the mic and a two handed handshake from Duck.  


Mason looked out over the Arena chanting his name and nodded, before bringing the mic up and saying that he heard them loud and clear, and he had a message for them: thank you.  The crowd cheered before breaking out in "YOU DE SERVE IT!" chants.   Savage smiled briefly before starting to speak again but he couldn't even get a sentence out before "Ready Or Not" by the Fugees hit the PA to cut him off and piss off pretty much everybody in Quality Arena.


Everybody wasn't who was parting the Qualitron to bask in the jeers raining down on him.  Nazir el-Fadal looked on from the top of the ramp with a microphone of his own.  He said that after what went down at AnnIVersary, congratulations were certainly in order...for him.   After all, he was the one who rid QCW of Autumn Powers once and for all.


The boos hit a fever pitch as Naz smiled even wider and said since she wanted to see Japan so badly, he wrote her a one way ticket.  So it was sayanora Autumn and konnichiwa Razorblade.  Naz was about to say something else when Razorblade sarcastically asked him if he was going to play Rosetta Stone or if he wanted to renew their rivalry right now!


The Quality Controllers popped, but Naz...laughed.  And laughed a little more.  He composed himself and said that they were rivals the way Serena and Sharapova were rivals, or the Globetrotters and the Generals were.   It was cute, really: they pop a little pyro, drop some confetti, these mouth breathers got to yell something besides Florida Georgia Line lyrics, but truth be told he knew what the truth was.  So did Razorblade.  


Because the last time they stood in this Arena and the QCW World title was on the line was two Anniversary shows ago, and Naz owned him so hard QCW TV *still* wouldn't show the footage.  The last time they had a ONE ON ONE World Title match?  Well, Naz debased his technical expertise and his religion, but it was all worth it when he walked out still champion.  Razorblade had his cute little saying - everybody bleeds.  Well, Naz didn't have anything to say to get slathered on a shirt for the rabble to lap up.  But he was going to make a promise: as #1 contender, he was going to end Razorblade's title reign just like he ended Autumn's QCW career.  It'd be all in a day's work for Nazir el-Fadal...


"The Greatest Asshole Alive!"


Naz scowled as the crowd cheered the newly minted World champion interrupting his longtime rival.  Razorblade said he was bringing up two years ago because he'd spent the whole year trying AND FAILING to become World champion, because when he wasn't cheating to screw over Autumn he was getting dog walked by Ashok.  Meanwhile, Razorblade had one shot at the World championship and not only had he won it, he'd beaten the unbeatable.  So if Naz wanted to live in the here and now, he wasn't going to be doing it from the ramp.  Razorblade got in his face Sunday night and he was inviting Naz to do the same.  Come on down to the ring and Razorblade would prove everybody bleeds - but not everybody has a set big enough to hold the Fifteen Pounds of Gold.


Naz sneered while Razorblade waved him on, then brought the mic up before tossing it aside.  el-Fadal got halfway down the ramp before Razorblade went down in the ring, thanks to a sneak attack from Omar Littlefield.  Omar and Savage brawled for a bit before Razorblade started getting the upper hand.  Shortly after that, Naz hit Razorblade with a Flair uppercut that doubled The (new) Champ over and Omar took advantage by hitting him with the Face Eraser.  Naz applauded Savage being sent to the canvas right before Omar doubled him over with a kitchen sink right in the ribs.  Littlefield set up another Face Eraser on Naz and maybe onto Razorblade, but el-Fadal kicked furiously in his loafers until he'd slipped out onto the apron and wasted little time fleeing to the back.  Omar stalked him up the ramp while Razorblade slowly got to his feet and grabbed the belt, yelling for both Omar and Naz to come fight him so that he could bleed them slow. 


Announce hyped up the fact that Razorblade had just won back the QCW World Championship and challengers were coming out of the woodwork.  But while Naz used his usual shady tactics to secure the #1 contendership at AnnIVersary, the Women's World championship didn't have a #1 contender - at least not yet. 


Starting tonight with the opening match up next, there would be four qualifying matches in the next couple of weeks to find a new #1 contender for Lolo Vuitton and the Women’s World championship - all four qualifying match winners would face off in a fatal four way shortly after that and whichever woman wins that gets the shot at Lolo.


Fiona Fogg came out to a decent pop from the Quality Controllers; as she stood on the steps and fired up the faithful.  The Gadabout looks to get a step closer to a Women's World championship shot next!


✨ ✨ ✨


1. Sohla Patel (w/International Lotus) d. Fiona Fogg at 9:10 in a Women's World championship #1 contendership qualifying match Former Catch Hell women’s champion Fogg came out of the gates strong, staying one step ahead of Patel in the early going and landing some hard strikes to match her high impact offense when she leveled the former Crush and Women’s World champion with a delayed gourdbuster.  Fogg looked to continue pushing the pace but a swipe from Scott Warren-Tisch behind the ref’s back was enough to distract her long enough for Sohla to recover and drop Fiona with an admittedly impressive spin heel kick when she turned around.  Patel aggressively followed up with a flurry of stomps on a downed Fogg before catching her with a basement dropkick to the temple, and that gave Sohla a leg up in the match that she wouldn’t step down from.  Patel finished off Fogg with a sunset flip buckle bomb she’s calling the Sohla Flare and followed it up with the Ninth Incarnation, pinning Fogg after she landed her signature Falcon Arrow.


After replays International Lotus stood as a unit in the middle of the ring, Sohla wasting little time promising that she would take back the Women's World championship that Lolo had stolen from her.  Karyn Tisch-Warren congratulated Sohla on her win and said that it was Sohla's duty to bring that gold back to International Lotus, and that brought her to her announcement.


Sohla took Karyn's place in the qualifying match because for the first time Karyn had found something more important than International Lotus.  Karyn said that it would be months before she would be able to wrestle again…because she was pregnant.  The crowd, usually loud and proud in their disdain of Karyn cheered the announcement while Karyn smiled and patted her stomach.  She said that while she was off to have a little Tisch-Warren or Warren-Tisch, it was going to fall on Sohla to keep the International Lotus brand alive and well in QCW.  Since she wasn't going to sleep well anytime soon, she’d be watching.  Karyn and Scott left the ring while Sohla said ciao for now.


2. The Chosen (w/”the Purifier” Caleb Grey and Goody Gardner) d. Ashok Banjerjee and the Game Changers at 11:15 Big night for Team Jesus at AnnIVersary: the End Times joined the flock alongside “the Paragon” Drake Tremble and Goody Gardner; Caleb is the former Witchfinder General using his Christian name after eradicating the former World TV championship by beating Ashok, then revealed he was behind the fire at the Arena last year but would turn this place into Quality Christian Wrestling with the help of the rest of the Chosen.  Banjerjee was looking for revenge, and the Chosen have had beef with the Game Changers all year so after some sniping on Quality Social, Commissioner Holmes made this trios match earlier in the week.  


Tremble and the Times rushed the white hats at the bell to put a beating on them while Goody and Caleb polished the Duquesne Cup (not a euphemism).  It became apparent after a couple minutes that their game plan was to isolate Banjerjee and put him firmly in the rearview.  Tremble did the bulk of the damage and every time it looked like Ashok was going to get out from under either Tremble was there with a shortcut or the End Times ran interference to cheap shot Banjerjee or even the Game Changers on a couple of occasions.  Ashok battled back and went up top but when he flew off, Tremble dropped Ashok with a spinning back elbow.


It looked like the counter was going to put a win in effect for the Chosen but before the ref could get to 3 Ashley and Al hit the ring to break up the count, which drew the End Times between the ropes.  A Pier 6 broke out that saw the Game Changers finally get the upper hand and clear the ring before both THEE Influencer and the Tiki God wiped out the Times with stereo dives.  Tremble went to put Ashok away with Repentance but Banjerjee got loose long enough to fire back with a Destroyer DDT that had both men laid out on the canvas.  Both went for tags but the Paragon picked Ashok's leg only to eat a Boundless enzuigiri that dropped him.  


Ashok managed to make a tag to Al and Buffett ran wild putting meesters on keesters.  Danny Castle ran in illegally in an attempt to destroy Al's momentum; Al duffed him up with some strikes and planted him with an uranagi.  Dr. Martin Williams tried a blindside attack and got to eat a Codebreaker for his trouble, and Al managed to backdrop a charging Tremble into the Times which sent all 3 heels over the top rope and out to the floor.  Caleb and Goody went over to coach them up but then quickly dodged out of the way as all three of the white hats came flying in to wipe out their opponents - Al’s suicide dive wiped out Castle, Ashley's wrecking ball dropkick dropped Dr. Williams, and Ashok's triangle moonsault cut down Tremble.  Familiar Queue Cee Dub! chants rocked the Arena as we got replays of the stereo dives and Al got Tremble back into the ring.  


Al tossed the bigger Tremble into the ropes and hit him with a pop up Codebreaker, but he missed Castle blind tagging in and then tagging Dr. Williams immediately after.   Buffett turned around and found himself on the wrong end of an enzuigiri/Flatliner combo from the Times, and then Dr. Williams tagged Castle in so they could hit Al with the Reckoning.  Castle rushed into the cover, Danny and Drake both kept Ashley and Ashok from making the save, and the Chosen had managed to eke out a win; everyone posed behind Caleb, who had his arms outstretched with the Duquesne Cup in one hand and the QCW National Championship in the other.


✨ ✨ ✨


Back from the break and TOTHEBACK~! where Enya Face was standing by and ready to bring on Super Aviรณn ahead of his match.  The chain with the Crusazdo del Oro mask had added El Vengador de Gente Junior’s mask to it after what happened at AnnIVersary.  


But as the camera panned up we saw Super Aviรณn without his mask, revealing long black hair and a sneer wide enough to be a freeway lane.  Aviรณn said that after his win at the biggest show in QCW history he wasn't just the biggest name in lucha libre; he’d earned his birthright.  He was no longer Super Aviรณn - he was Aviรณn III.  He didn't need a weak Villalobos weighing him down and he sent Vengador running back across the border.  So now QCW was going to learn what 21st century lucha was because pendejo partners and the mask were vestiges of the old world - he was going to take lucha to heights it’d never seen before in QCW and remake the league in his beautiful (ehhhhhhh) visage starting tonight.  And no title was safe.


Aviรณn III stalked off the set and Enya threw things over to Duck Eko, who made the introductions for tonight's title match…


3. “Night Sky” Diana Spare [c] d. Veronica Vespa at 8:11 to retain the Crush championship 1️⃣ Before the match, QCW Rewind showed highlights from last week's Ruckus where Diana bested Bonnie Agrippa to win the Crush championship and stop the Hysteria member from hitting her cash in 10 Count.  Former and newly minted champion Spare got to establish her new title reign with a showcase win over Vespa; QCW’s Bee Plus Player was a tougher out than you might’ve guessed and put together a couple of decent rallies but Night Sky cut off the last one with an overhead powerbomb then hit Nightfall on Vespa to secure the W.


As Diana got her hand raised, the lights went out in the Arena - when they came back on Hysteria was in the ring, now rolling five deep after Luz Cruz turned heel to join them at AnnIVersary.


But Diana wasn't - she was in front of the Qualitron with a small smirk on her face holding the belt up high before she headed to the back.  Hysteria scowled to a woman then laid in some stomps on Vespa before Justine and Bella pounced on the Queen of the Colony and eventually dropped her with their signature double team Twelve Feet Under.  Lights off again and when they came back on Hysteria had vanished in the darkness.


Steve and Carl talked about Luz Cruz joining Hysteria on Sunday night and how the group seemed to have her as their leader before Nonpoint's “Bullet With A Name” started playing throughout the Arena to bring out the All Starr Stable.  Jacques Krieger scowled his way out first, followed by the World Tag Team champions A Cut Above and the mastermind in back but in front of it all, S. Mark Starr.  Once they all hit the ring, you can understand why they (well, not Krieger) were in a gloating mood.  


The crowd booed the whole way but couldn't keep Evan O'Neill from being in full smarm.  QCW went from firing him to buying him a new house in 90 days thanks to Starr, and after AnnIVersary they still were the best tag team in QCW.  No, you know what, forget QCW - they were the best tag team in the world.   They had the brains with Starr, the muscle with Jacques, and the QCW World Tag Team championships.  Broderick added that anyone who didn't like AnnIVersary’s turn of events could kiss their well moisturized derrieres before Starr took the promo home, saying that these men were smart enough to join him and give him 15%, and the results spoke for themselves.   So you could either do the smart thing like the collection of all Starr talent in the ring, or you could end up like those losers Beauty and the Beast Mode.  They could lose for the culture all they wanted, because he would be counting money and championships.  O’Neill hit a “Are you not entertained?” which drew boos from the crowd, as did his response of “Who cares?  I'm RICH, you bunch of (that's a swear) off duty Dollar General cashiers!” Nonpoint played after that and the Stable smugly headed to the back while the announce debated what was up next for the World Tag champs.  


4. Aviรณn III d. “the Proper King” Richard Windsor at 10:11 After a brief feeling out process, Windsor used his technical proficiency to keep Aviรณn grounded and almost entirely on the mat.  But Aviรณn fought out from under then turned the fight his way when he backdropped Windsor over the top rope; the Brit’s ribs slammed into the apron on his way to the floor and Aviรณn followed up with a running handless plancha to wipe him out.  The luchador rolled back in the ring and exhorted the ref to count Windsor out, but when Richard started making moves to get back in the ring at 7 Aviรณn caught him with another handless plancha.  The Latest Model Aircraft dominated the rest of the way and dusted the King with Air Superiority, getting the 3 via his signature avalanche Spanish Fly.


Aviรณn being Aviรณn, he continued going after a fallen Windsor post match…right until the Kaiser Chiefs hit the PA.  


“The Fury” Jim Jaspers made his return to QCW after Omar Littlefield put him on the shelf a few months ago, and he ran down the ramp to a pop to help his Proper Villains tag partner.  He hit the ring and went after Aviรณn, both men throwing hands before Aviรณn got desperate and raked Old Jim’s eyes.  Aviรณn ran for the ropes to launch another attack but Jim flew at him and hit a beautiful pump knee strike that sent Aviรณn flying over the top rope to the floor.   Aviรณn swore at Jaspers from the floor before stomping backstage; back in the ring, Jim pulled Richard up and checked on him.  “I Predict A Riot” came back on and Richard hugged Jim, who seemed a little surprised that he was getting hugged.  The Proper Villains are back and they took to the turnbuckles to celebrate as we went to commercial.


✨ ✨ ✨


5. w @ s t e l a n d e r s d. The Wonderful Ward Brothers at 5:04 A bit of a shocker here as the former tag team champion Wards looked to make something of a triumphant return here but found themselves on the wrong end of an asskicking from the newcomers.  The Canadians didn't go down without a fight but the fight didn't last too long and ended with a trip to the Thunderdome with a lariat and leg sweep combo.  As Carl put it during replays, “The w @ s t e l a n d e r s have arrived.”


Steve and Carl called back to the top of the show and the Razorblade/Naz promo battle as a launchpad for Omar Littlefield to attack The Champ and run off the #1 contender before Carl hit upon the fact that Naz was here because he cheated to beat Autumn Powers at AnnIVersary and win the #1 contendership.  That shady win made Autumn leave town and Steve said that while the ref’s decision was final, QCW put together something to show Autumn how much she meant to the modern era.


A three or four minutes long video package played from there, reeling through highlights of Autumn's QCW career: the steel cage collapse, winning the Women's World championship, beating Summer Rose in another Loser Leaves Town match, the Best of 5 series against Dark Mirror over the old World TV title and her winning the Unified World championship and earning the Triple Crown at last year's Devil's Night.  A really nice piece and you should swing by Quality Social or QTube to check it out.


Before the main event, Steve and Carl hyped up Justine and Bella from Hysteria facing off against Mean Season as well as “Night Sky” Diana Spare defending the Crush championship on Unleashed before they ran down the card for next week's Ruckus, which is more loaded than me on my birthday:


⚡We’ll get a location announcement for next month’s PPV ⚡


⚡#1 World title contender Nazir el-Fadal faces off against Justice Davis in a match that no doubt World Champion Razorblade (Davis's tag partner) will be watching closely  ⚡


⚡And we’ll get two more qualifiers to get us closer to a #1 contender for the Women's World championship as in a non-title match Crush champion “Night Sky” Diana Spare goes up against Goody Gardner of the Chosen and turncoat Luz Cruz faces off with one of the women she stabbed in the back at AnnIVersary, Ashley “THEE Influencer” Szabo ⚡


Replays played of the show opener where Sohla Patel won her way into the fatal four way that’ll decide the #1c; whoever won between former Crush champions here would join the field as ex partners shed a little more bad blood.


6. Shelley LaVey (w/the Culture) d. Bonnie Agrippa (w/Hysteria) at 10:32 in a Women's World championship #1 contendership qualifying match No feeling out process here - Bonnie slapped Shelley right after the bell rang but couldn't even get out a full sentence of smacktalk before Shelley cut her off with a double leg takedown and a flurry of punches.  Bonnie ate a few shots before reversing and dishing it right back out in kind.   Both women rolled around and fought on the mat until it spilled to the floor and Bonnie got the advantage by jamming her thumbs into Shelley’s eyes for multiple seconds.  Agrippa bieled Shelley across the announce table (that didn't give) and LaVey bounced off of it before sliding down to the floor.  Bonnie was yelling at Steve and Carl to get out of her way before she stood up on the announce table to the Quality Controllers’ jeers.  As LaVey tried to get to her feet Agrippa ran across the table before leaping off with a shotgun dropkick that sent Shelley flying into the barricade.


As Bonnie pulled herself up and got Shelley in the ring to continue the beatdown, announce put over the sadistic glee Bonnie got out of whaling away on her ex friend - something she was doing with hammer blows across the back.  Bonnie beat Shelley down to the mat and made sure to get in the recovering LaVey’s face after she did.  Agrippa was swarming Shelley at this point: when she wasn't stomping she was choking out LaVey with her boot and the referee’s count got to 4 two or three times.  Steve pointed out the possibility that Hysteria could have two of its members in the fatal four way for the #1 contendership the way things were going, and they only got worse for Shelley as she ate a series of flash elbow drops from her former friend.


Bonnie went for a cover and Shelley wriggled loose at 2 ½.  Agrippa continued putting the bad mouth on LaVey, saying that Shelley had been holding her back and that she would never let Shelley be World champion as long as she was back in QCW.  Bonnie brought more darkness than light and added injury to the insults with a series of mocking kicks while saying she was going to make it a clean sweep.  But Shelley started firing up, getting to a knee and then standing up as the crowd got louder - and Bonnie hit her with a running boot that sent her back down to the mat.


To the shock of the Arena, Shelley nipped up before backhanding Bonnie so hard she spun around, then drilled Agrippa with a rewind rana that left both women down.  We got replays of Shelley’s 1-2 combo while both women pulled themselves off the mat and barely beat the 10 count before going back and forth with punches; it was a battle that Bonnie was winning, then Shelley, then Agrippa cut her off with a knee to the breadbasket that sent Shelley crashing to the canvas.  Bonnie was back to talking smack as she pulled Shelley up by the hair - but Shelley shut her up with a sudden Fresh To Death that cut through the chatter and popped the Quality Controllers big.  


It took Shelley a couple beats before she could cover Bonnie and hook a leg, allowing Agrippa to kick out at 2 ½.  While Bonnie avoided getting pinned by the cutter, the momentum went all Shelley’s way after that.  Shelley went on a tear, duffing up her ex partner with hard forearms before kicking her leg out from under her and landing a short range knee.  Bonnie staggered towards a corner and Shelley charged at her - but Agrippa matadored out of the way.  Bonnie was thinking fast but Shelley was even faster, as she ran up the turnbuckles and flattened Agrippa with a moonsault press.  A fired up Shelley got to her feet first and pulled up the Hysteria member by the hair.  Whatever Shelley said got bleeped, but the subsequent brainbuster she drilled Bonnie with got the message across loud and clear.  LaVey went up top before flying off and connecting with her Fallen Angel splash.


That should have put a bow on things, but between 2 and 3 Luz Cruz reached in and put Bonnie's foot on the bottom rope to get the zebra to break up the count.  Everybody in the building who wasn't Hysteria was good and pissed about that, most notably Steve at the desk and Beauty and the Beast Mode on the floor (in retrospect it’s entirely possible Shelley missed the cheating).   Beauty and the Beast Mode turned the corner to have words with Hysteria while Carl pointed out that while Mode had the size advantage they were outnumbered 4 to 2.  


Hysteria and Mode started woofing at each other when the noise in the crowd went from mostly negative to a positive buzz.  Everyone on the outside turned towards the ramp, where Ashley “THEE Influencer” Szabo was marching down it with vengeance in her eyes, causing Carl to hype her qualifying match with Cruz next week.  Steve noted things looked a little better for the white hats but they still were at a disadvantage while in the ring Bonnie surprised a distracted Shelley and rolled her up with LaVey kicking out late.  As Bonnie and Shelley continued to throw shots in the ring, the crowd’s noise jumped up a level as Crush champion “Night Sky” Diana Spare started heading towards the ring to stand with the Culture and Szabo against Hysteria, who were still talking their shit but lowered a couple of decibels with the odds getting evened up.  


Bonnie walloped Shelley from behind, then drove her sternum first into the corner.  Agrippa hooked Shelley up and suplexed her, then rolled through and hit another, but when she went for a third or a brainbuster LaVey rocked her with two knees to the jaw that caused Agrippa to lose her grip.  LaVey pulled herself off the mat and hit a Pele kick as Roy Fade and then Pierce Moore started pulling chairs and tables out from under the ring to give the white hats some backup.  Spare joined the party and pulled out a couple of kendo sticks and threw one to Ashley, then immediately charged Hysteria and more specifically Luz with Judgeian swings.  This reminded Cruz that she left the oven unlocked and the door on, as she and the rest of Hysteria started backing away from the now armed babyfaces and started backing up the ramp – only for Cardi B to hit the PA and Lolo Vuitton strut out pushing a garbage can full of weapons (trash cans, stop signs, more kendo sticks, and some baking sheets and who knows what else).


Hysteria made the executive decision to get out of the Arena before they could eat any shots and leapt the barrier before fleeing the concourse, speeding past the End Times on the way out of the building.  Bonnie was caught up in watching her coven getting run off and Shelley recovered and snuck up on Agrippa before throwing her shoulder first into the ringpost.  Bonnie staggered backwards and right into another throw into the ringpost, and LaVey went out to the apron as Agrippa fell into the ring.  Shelley measured Bonnie before slingshotting into the ring and dropping her with another Fresh To Death.  Shelley let out a whoop as she stepped over Bonnie, went up to the top rope and launched another Fallen Angel splash.


This time when she pinned Bonnie’s shoulders to the canvas, they stayed down for 3.


Shelley got in her face after the bell and the ref had to back her off Bonnie, but the Quality Controllers gave her some well deserved flowers after the victory.  We got replays of the big moments in the fight before we went back live to the ring.  You could see Shelley celebrating on the turnbuckles and making A Very Familiar Gesture around her waist.  The crowd, the rest of the Culture and Ashley Szabo were applauding.  


But Crush champion Spare and Women's World champion Vuitton weren't.  


As Ruckus went off the air a chyron showed Sohla Patel and Shelley now making half the field of the #1 contendership fatal four way to get the next shot at Lolo, then the credits box came up to close out the Ruckus after AnnIVersary.
