[12] Crusade E3 P2
Haley: Welcome back to Crusade..and what we just saw was very interesting to say the least.
Brynn: Looks to me like James Sharp and Shawn Rey are in cahoots.
Haley: Congratulations! You've stated the obvious!
Brynn: gOoD oNe hAlEy!
Haley: Yeah, yeah. Anyways, our next match is the final match in the first round of the Women's tournament, Ivy Steel versus Francesca May.
Alexander: The following contest is a first round contest in the tournament to crown the inaugural NAO Women's Champion! Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California...IVYYY STEEEEEL!
Brynn: Thoughts on Steel?
Haley: Honestly, for this match I'm torn. Francesca is an amazing high flyer, and Ivy can kick ass when she wants to.
Brynn: I'm going with Francesca on this one.
Haley: Well, then I'll have to disagree and go with Ivy.
Alexander: And her opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada...FRAAAAANCESSCA MAYYYY!!
Brynn: My pick!
Haley: Nobody cares Brynn.
The match began with a springboard forearm smash from Francesca before the bell had even rang.
She hooked the leg of Ivy, but it was only a 2 count before a kick out occurred on Steel's part. Francesca nodded and pulled her to a specific spot, climbing up to the top rope and going for a 450, but Ivy got her knees up just in time. She got up and performed a Butterfly DDT on May.
Francesca was grounded, giving Steel the upper hand in this situation. She looked as thought she was about to go for an Alarm, but she took too long bragging to the fans that she didn't have time to prepare for the Cutter delivered by May.
Francesca went for the pin, only for Ivy to kick out at 2. Francesca ignored the growing frustration and retreated back to the top rope, where she this time delivered a successful 450 to Ivy.
Francesca pinned her again, but Ivy once again.
Haley: Damn, what is it going to take to put Ivy away?
Brynn: You can see the frustration growing on the face of May.
Haley: She has to be careful, it's not good to get frustrated in this kind of match.
Francesca stood up and climbed to the top rope again, this time going to try for a diving crossbody. As she jumped, Ivy caught her with an improvised Codebreaker.
Haley: IVY GOT HER!
Steel lifted Francesca by the hair, getting a running start into Twisting Faith.
As May was moments away from tapping out, she made her way to the ropes, leaning down with much difficulty, grabbing the bottom one.
Haley: May got the bottom rope!
Ivy released her hold, quickly slapping Francesca across the face after she let go. May slapped her back, then pushing her into the corner, where Steel hit her head on the turnbuckle. She fell to the ground, soon being dragged to a good position by May. Francesca climbed to the top rope and finally hit a 450, pinning Steel and gaining the win.
Alexander: Here is your winner, FRAANCESCAAA MAYYYY!!
Haley: That match was awesome.
Brynn: A great display from both of these women.
Haley: Truly. And the ending of this match ends the first round of both tournaments. Next week we will be moving on to the semi-finals.
Brynn: Hell yeah. But, as of right now, it's time for the Main Event!
Alexander: Introduction first, from Austin, Texas...AUUUSTIN CAAAAGE!!
Haley: This is who I thought would become the first Champion.
Brynn: Well, that won't happen, but right now she's facing Annika Aspen!
Alexander: And her opponent, from Quebec City, Quebec, Canada...ANNNNIKAA AAASPEN!!
Haley: No doubt about the fact that Annika Aspen is going to be a champion one day.
Brynn: But, that day is not today. She needs to focus on Austin, because Cage can be dangerous when she wants to win.
The match began with a lockup from both sides. After a few seconds, Austin had Aspen in a grounded side headlock. Cage tightened her grip, trying to manipulate one of Annika's arms to be in a position to lock in a crossface, which she successfully delivered.
As Cage began to pull backwards, causing the torque to become unbearable, Annika reached out and just barely grasped the bottom rope, causing the break. Austin reluctantly let go, backing up a bit whilst staying on her knees. She sat in a criss-crossed position as she watched Annika begin to stir, still recovering from the wicked crossface from moments earlier.
Austin sat calmly, watching as Annika finally got to her feet. Cage stood up and slapped the taste out of the mouth of Aspen, grabbing her by the hair. Annika pushed her off and hit Cafe with a Riot Starter.
She pinned Austin, only for a two count before the kick out by Cage. Annika sighed and stood up, pulling Austin along with her by the hair. She lifted her chub with her thumb and smirked before slapping her across the face.
Annika hit Cage with another Riot Starter, pinning her once again, which Austin also kicked out of.
Annika was visibly pissed off at this point, and distracted enough for Cage to get the upper hand with a Backstabber.
Austin lifted Annika and got a running start into a Torture Chamber.
Austin tightened her grip on Aspen, screaming in her face to Tap Out, which she eventually did, giving Austin the win.
Alexander: Here is you winner, AUUUUUSTIN CAAAAGE!!
Austin smirked and stood up with a smile on her face as she looked down upon her fallen opponent.
Haley: Great match, props to both of those gals.
Brynn: Yes, it was great, but now..it's time for the Bosses' announcement.
Alexander: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the General Manager of NAO..MOOOORGAN REEEYNOOOOLDS!
Morgan strutted out with a smirk on his face and a microphone in his hand, his music soon cutting off and being replaced.
Alexander: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the Owner of NAO, CEEECILIAAA KEEEENAN!!
Cecilia grinned and walked to the ring alongside Morgan.
Haley: You can tell that they mean business. Hopefully this announcement is good..
Brynn: I don't think we should be worried.
Morgan opened the ropes for Cecilia as they both entered the ring. Soon, the music cut off.
Cecilia: Hiya Frankfurt.
That caused a small but decent pop for her.
Cecilia: Now, let's get down to business. There's a reason we're out here right now.
Morgan: We have an announcement to make. With the popularity of NAO growing everyday, it has been decided that on February 28th, Our first ever Pay-Per-View will be aired!
The announcement caused a loud ringing of cheers sound throughout the arena.
Cecilia: During that Pay-per-view we will crown both our inaugural World and Women's Champions! We will also have two Warfare matches, one for the men and one for the women.
(A Warfare Match is just the NAO name for the Royal Rumble match)
Morgan: There's your announcement. I just have one more question.
He paused for dramatic effect.
Morgan: Are you ready?!
The pop after that was insane and was probably heard throughout the whole state of Kentucky.
Cecilia covered her ears and said one last sentence.
Cecilia: We'll take that as a yes.
The show ended with the crowd repeatedly cheering 'NAO! NAO! NAO!'.
