Introducing first, from Neo, Japan, Batti!
As her music plays, Batti hops around the stage. She seems to be showing a more serious side tonight, as she seems focused more on the ring than the ten thousand cheering fans who are playing the the beach balls that are falling into the crowd.
Cohen: I have never been able to stand this girl. It is all fun and games twenty four seven and it clearly distracts her. If she focused half her energy on winning, she would be a Hall of Famer three times over by now.
Connor: She is a fan favorite with some big wins in her career. She just had a World Title match at Lethal Lottery. She is doing just fine.

And her opponent, from Milan, Italy, she is the WZCW World Heavyweight Champion, EVE TAYLOR!
The champ has a certain swagger in her step as she makes her way down the entrance ramp, her model background on full display as she walks with purpose. She climbs into the ring and strikes a pose on the turnbuckle with her title belt.
Connor: Eve, never short of confidence, will be coming into tonight knowing she holds a good record over opponent.
Cohen: She also holds something much more important in her right hand, the WZCW World Championship.
Referee Jun Akiyama waits for Eve to hand her title off to the ringside tech before he calls for the bell, getting the match started.
*DING! DING!*
Eve and Batti are both in a low stance, looking for an opening. They each try to secure a dominant position in a tie up, before they break. This happens a second and third time, with neither able to get the upper hand. Batti gets a little frustrated and charges in, but Eve steps aside and uses Batti's momentum to send her into the ropes. She connects with a dropkick to the back that sends Batti tumbling over the top rope. She manages to hang on and catch herself on the apron. As Eve tries to run and connect with a running boot, Batti pulls down the rope and sends Eve tumbling over. As Eve manages to get back to her feet, Batti runs along the apron and launches into Eve with a spear, THE GLOMP! Batti jumps to her feet with her Neko cat paws taunt and the crowd erupts.
Connor: See Jack, the crowd adores Batti and she feeds off them.
Cohen: Yeah, and in the time it took her to play kitty cat, Eve has rolled back into the ring.
Sure enough, the champ has managed to roll into the ring and is catching a breath against the ropes. Batti climbs onto the apron but Eve catches her with a punch. She hits a couple of more right hands to daze Batti and tries to lift her for a suplex into the ring, but Batti uses the ropes to hang on and block. She hits a knee through the ropes to get a little space and then connects with a sunset flip, the ref is in position...1!...2!...Kick out by Eve. Batti tries to keep some pressure on the champ with an arm bar, but Eve reaches the ropes to stand and forces the break. It isn't more than a second or two later that Batti is back on the attack with a series of quick punches. Quantity over quality seems to be the goal here, as Eve is able to block most of the punches but is forced to back into the corner. Batti climbs onto the second turnbuckle and begins to hammer down right hands onto the champ. The crowd chants along in their native language.
"Un! Deux! Trois! Quatre! Cinq..."
The crowd stops as Eve blocks the incoming sixth punch and Eve positions Batti for a powerbomb and slams her down. She stumbles back a bit from the impact of the move, meaning she can't secure a cover.
Cohen: High impact move by the champ there, leaving both combatants down.
Eve gets to her feet after resting against the turnbuckle. She starts to stomp on the midsection of Batti before she stops for a moment to adjust her hair. The two seconds it takes are enough to allow Batti to get to wits about her and roll to safety. Eve looks almost upset with herself for allowing her vanity to impede her assault of her foe.
Connor: Rookie mistake by the champ there, and she knows it.
Batti is on her feet, Eve allowing her time to recover and the two are back to square one. They go to tie up, but Eve isn't playing this time and simply muscles the smaller Batti into the corner. A slaps Batti across the face, before she follows it up with an open hand slap across the chest. She uses her long legs to get a foot up and choke Batti, drawing a few boos for the barely legal tactic, but she relents at a count of three from the referee. As she relents the choke, Batti tries to catch her breath, but Eve us quick to keep the pressure up after her mistake only minutes earlier. Eve then performs a handstand and wraps her legs around the head of Batti, before flipping over and slamming Batti to the mat. SHe points to the top rope, then at Batti and stomps her foot down. The crowd approves and she climbs for the Stiletto Stomp. She perches on the top rope, steadies herself, then leaps, only for Batti to roll away at the last second and leave Eve to crash and burn. She immediately grabs her ankle, and the look on her face seems to tell the story.
Connor: This isn't good, Eve has a history of ankle issues, and she may have just injured one of them on that landing.
Cohen: Extremely tough break for the champ, and so close to Kingdom Come, but Batti needs to capitalize.
Batti crawls toward Eve on her hands and knees, trying to get to the champ before she can get to the ropes. She grabs hold of the uninjured ankle and pulls the champ toward her. Eve tries to kick out at Batti with her free leg, but the impact on her ankle proves to be too much and she recoils in pain. Batti kicks at the uninjured leg a few times, showing a slim amount of sportsmanship. She snaps the leg back with a leg DDT, hoping to cause equal pain to both legs. She gets back into position and snaps the leg back with a second DDT. She then grabs a leg lock and grapvines herself around the leg, causing some pain to Eve, who struggles a bit before she is able to roll over enough to get to the ropes. Batti takes the ref's warning and backs off, allowing Eve to stand. She urges Eve to rush her, but Eve doesn't bite. Batti approaches Eve instead, who struggles to put weight on her bad ankle. Eve tries to keep her at arms length due to her being unable to get power behind her shots, and Batti is able to work around to a rear waist lock. She lifts Eve and connects with a belly to back suplex. The crowd is coming alive for Batti as she points to her boot and starts to remove it.
Connor: Batti calling for the Sooo Kawaii Kick. If she hits this, we are going to have an upset on our hands.
Cohen: Can someone explain to me how taking your boot off makes a kick more impactful?
The crowd chants Batti's name as she tosses her boot aside and shakes out her arms and readies for the move. Eve is struggling to her feet, the crowd eager with anticipation.

Batti turns around as the music hits, and is ready to intercept Flex, but the music keeps playing.
Connor: Where is the coward?
Cohen: Are you implying you want someone in interfere in the match Cat?
Frustrated, Batti turns her attention back to Eve, who is on her feet and connects with the Fashion Statement! The same Inverted Stomp Facebreaker she used to defeat Batti and win the World Title at Lethal Lottery. She rolls over into the cover while holding her bad ankle. Akiyama throws his hands in the air frustrated as he slides into position...1!...2!...3! Eve pumps her fist and screams in victory.
Anderson: Here is your winner, the WZCW World Heavyweight Champion, Eve Taylor!
Connor: Well it looks like Flex is a no show, but Eve took advantage nonetheless.
Cohen: You speak too soon Cat. Check the front row.
On cue, Flex jumps the barricade and starts to taunt Batti. He pulls her under the rope and slaps her across the face before he flexes his impressive physique and the crowd boos. He grabs a mic.
Flex: Shut Up! While all you French fat asses stuff your faces full of crepes and baguettes and escargot, I'm crafting the world's best physique. So go ahead and boo, but you know this is what a man looks like, and by the end of the night, Batti is going to know her place.

The crowd erupts as Blades' music hits. He comes sprinting down the ramp, and Flex quickly retreats behind the security who have come out to try to prevent things from getting out of hand. Eve hobbles out of the ring and over to Batti to check on her, helping her to her feet, before she tries to calm Tyrone down. Batti shoots daggers at Eve, who smirks back at her. The entire time Tyrone is staring down Flex, who trash talks Tyrone and Batti. Off camera, Eve says something to Batti, which sets Batti off and she attacks Eve!
Connor: What the hell?
All hell breaks loose as Tyrone and Flex start to brawl when security tries to break up Eve and Batti. Tyrone manages to get a bat shot into the midsection of Flex, who stumbles into the crowd. Before Tyrone can follow, more security rush down and restrain him. He throws his bat to the ground and goes to try to help with Batti and Eve, who are still going at it. He tries to pull Batti away, but she fights him the entire way. Once order is restored, Batti starts to yell at Tyrone.
Cohen: What is this all about?
Eve, who has retreated to the timekeeper's area, grabs a mic.
Eve: What's wrong? Lover's quarrel? Maybe I can help clear this up for everyone. I had the guy in the truck help me out with this tape from a few days ago.
A video comes on the tron, it is security footage of Tyrone and Eve at a local hotel. It shows Eve checking into a room and cuts to a shot of Tyrone showing up in the lobby some time later. It cuts to feed from Tyrone and Eve in the hotel bar, both sharing drinks and laughing. Eve is rather handsy with Tyrone, who doesn't seem to mind. It cuts again to a shot of Eve leading Tyrone by the arm into her room. The next shot's time code is dated from a few hours later and shows Tyrone sneaking out of the room, quickly throwing a shirt on as he walks out.
The crowd is stunned. Eve smiles a wicked smile to Batti.
Eve: Seems that Tryone isn't such a changed man after all. He used you Batti. Just liked he has used everyone before him. Just look at his past, his path to the top has been paved with the bodies he threw down to walk on. You my dear, are no different, and girl to girl, I just couldn't stand to let a man treat you that way.
Batti turns to Tyrone, who is pleading his case. She slaps him and instead of going after Eve, she evades the security and leaps over the barricade and tackles Flex. She hammers away, taking her frustration out on the muscle bound hulk. He tries to crawl away, but they brawl in the crowd, sending fans scrambling, security in hot pursuit of the pair.

Myles: That is enough! I have had it with Flex coming in and assaulting Batti and brawling all the place. I've talked to Becky Serra and the board of directors and we have come to a decision. At Kingdom Come, Flex, you will compete against Batti one on one, in a falls count anywhere match! Since you seem to love brawling all over the arena, you should just love this. As for you two, Eve, I expect better from the leading lady of WZCW. You should be setting an example for all the young women in the audience. Shame on you. And Tyrone, you may be the number one contender, you may be a Hall of Fame talent, but from the tape it is clear you are a low level son of a bitch. As much as I would like to make an example of you for your behavior, I have no real grounds to strip you of your title shot. All I can do is say your behavior is that of a pig and I hope you pay dearly for it.
The final shot as the copyright information flashes on screen is Tyrone, on his knees, head down, as the WZCW fans shower him with boos and debris.
