Winner and going into the Championship Gauntlet Match: Leia Makoa
Leia thanks the crowd, says that she thought about throwing in the towel but she is doing this for everyone who has cheered her on since day one.
Leia looked fantastic in the match, and even though it was a squash, she was crisp with her work and made everything look good. She looks good enough in the ring that she could work with any of the major companies right out of the gate. I am really impressed with her work.
We get a video recap of the feud between Kandi Krush and Siren, the Voodoo Doll’s crew.
Kandi Krush vs Chainsaw
Holidead and Siren are banned from ringside, but they come to the ring with Chainsaw anyway. David McLane says that they have to leave.
Kandi attacks with kicks and punches before the bell and then locks on a sleeper. Chainsaw gets up with Kandi on her back and backs into the corner. Chainsaw misses a charge into the corner and gets the sleeper again. Chainsaw makes it to the ropes and Kandi breaks at four. She does it again and breaks at four. She dodges another charge from Chainsaw and nails Chainsaw with a series of right hooks and then leaps onto Chainsaw’s back for the sleeper again.
Chainsaw lays on her back until Kandy breaks the hold and Kandi leaps back on her back as soon as Chainsaw is up. Chainsaw pulls her over into a pin, but doesn’t even get a one count. Chainsaw drags Kandi across the ring by her hair, but Kandi is able to get a double leg takedown and a jackknife pin for one. Kandi goes back to the sleeper.
Chainsaw drops to a knee, and Kandi legs go when she thinks Chainsaw is out, but Chainsaw is able to recover. Kandi leaps off the top for a leaping punch, but Chainsaw falls on Kandi, covering for the pin and the win.
Winner: Chainsaw
They must think this is the money feud, and have been spotlighting it a lot over the show’s run. Kandi is good at the emotional stuff, but her promo skills are still in need of some work. Her opponents are cartoonish, and the ending fo this match seemed incredibly silly.
Siren and Holidead take Chainsaw to the back. Kandi grabs a mic and says nothing has been settled. She is sick of them messing with her head, and she wants to forget the rules and the ring to settle it once and for all. Siren is on the big screen and says that stitch by stitch, Kandi will fail.
