The HAW Lockup theme played to start the show off
Eve Solace: Welcome to Lockup! I’m Eve Solace, with Kitty Kayleen and Georgios Stanellis and we’re in Detroit, Michigan! It’s one week away from Downtown Diaster, and we have FOUR matches tonight! Alicia McCarthy battles Ashley Cannonball, Penny Downs will face Smiling Sally, a tag title main event with Dixie Clarke and Ivy Boyle vs The Dystopians…and we’re starting the show off with “No Nonsense” Bethany Watts’ National Championship Open Challenge!
Kitty Kayleen: I’ll give it to Delilah, she’s got her hands full but she put together a marvelous show tonight.
The first notes of Bethan Watts’ music started, and the crowd cheered as the National Champ made her entrance. Shortly after, her opponent, Lela LaCruse followed her out to the ring.
Georgios Stanellis: Probably Bethany Watts’ toughest challenge yet, Lela LaCruse is a former Women’s Co-Champion and Tag Team Champion, she’ll have her hands full.
The match was indeed a fifty-fifty split where anyone could have won. Lela had multiple chances using her technical and aerial skills to pin Bethany. Watts tried to put LaCruse away after powerful drops and slams but failed. In the end, Bethany Watts was able to hit a Backbreaker, and pin Lela LaCruse in 12:14.
Eve Solace: What an impressive win, her biggest yet!
Kitty Kayleen: I’m starting to slowly come around to her, she’s got some skills.
Eve Solace: She’ll look to go 4-0 next week at Downtown Disaster! Now let’s check in with backstage interviewer, Juliet Sims!
Juliet stood with Kherti Bhakta in the back.
Juliet Sims: Thank you, I’m with Kherti Bhakta. Kherti, we saw a vicious attack on Sabrina Nova last week by The Solo Girls, just a few weeks after an attack by Moonlight and Smiling Sally. Both times you manager to drive off the attackers, but unfortunately last week, Sabrina suffered a broken hand, and will be out for a few months. How do you feel?
Kherti Bhakta: I feel like…a word I can’t say that will get past the censors. It’s tough getting into wrestling, and it’s even tougher getting into HAW. I get it, we’re wrestlers, we fight each other, and there’s not many contracts given out. People want to stand out…but being a coward, and doing it from behind? There’s no place for that here. This is the best wrestling company in the world, we have standards, and I try to be the one to set the standards and live them! So when people try to take shortcut, yeah, I hate it. Which is why I got a match made for next week at Downtown Disasters. The Solo Girls will take on me and my partner….”The Marauder” Sophie Lester!
At that point stepping into view was the war painted Sophie Lester.
Sophie Lester: Rachel…Crystal…you two went looking for a fight? You just started a war. And in war, I don’t stop until my enemy is annihilated. I don’t think you’ve realized what you’ve done. We’ll see you next week.
Sophie and Kherti shook hands and walked off.
Back at ringside, Alicia McCarthy made her entrance.
Eve Solace: And here comes a former two time VCW Women’s Champion! She is tough!
Georgios Stanellis: Meh, I can take her.
Eve Solace: Well that’s just…not…
Kitty Kayleen: What?
Eve Solace: …..It’s a great observation, thank you Georgios.
Her opponent, Ashley Cannonball followed, trying to rile up the crowd. The match started off with Ashley trying for a handshake, but Alicia simply slapping it away. Ashley tried to use an aerial offense, but Alicia’s strength managed to ground her, and McCarthy put Cannonball away with a Double Underhook Powerbomb in 3:25.
After the match, Alicia grabbed a microphone, then walked up to the top of the ramp.
Alicia McCarthy: I want it to be known…regardless of who wins this tag title match tonight….I reached out…and I found a partner for the future. So champs…consider yourselves on notice.
With that, McCarthy walked to the back.
Kitty Kayleen: I’m a bit offended she didn’t reach out to me, I think the two of us could have easily defeated whichever team wins tonight. Oh well, her loss.
At that point, Penny “The Hammer” Downs music went on, and the HAW Women’s World Champion made her way down to the ring to cheers from the crowd. The arena then turned red as Smiling Sally’s music started, and she slowly walked down, accompanied by Moonlight with a laptop.
Penny looked ready for the match and as it began, she seemed to have a game plan of using attacks that would launch herself into the legs of Sally, trying to ground her. It was going successfully until Sally dodged and picked up Penny for a slam. Smiling Sally seemed indestructible and unphased by any punches or reversals Penny attempted, until Sally tried to hit the Tornado Bomb. Penny managed to flip out of it and land on her feet, then punched Sally right in the neck. Her collar briefly turned from green to off, and she seemed stunned.
Moonlight pulled out a laptop and managed to get the collar light to turn green again, but not before Penny managed to grab Smiling Sally and hit the Single Underhook Facebuster. Penny went for the pin, but before referee Mira Levenberg could get the 3, Moonlight jumped in and hit Penny with her laptop.
Levenberg immediately called for the bell on a DQ finish, giving Penny the victory in 5:23, but Moonlight continued the attack, giving Smiling Sally enough time to get to her feet. Sally finally hit the Tornado Bomb on Penny Downs. Moonlight then picked her up, and hit her Gourdbuster onto Downs. She climbed the ropes and raised her hands high as the crowd booed, before heading to the back with Sally.
Eve Solace: Well a win technically by Penny Downs, but she doesn’t look too well off.
Kitty Kayleen: It’s honestly so blasé at this point, all this interference…
Eve Solace: Isn’t that what you always did with Georgios?
Kitty Kayleen: What?! How dare you…
Eve Solace: Like when you low blowed Mitchell Row in their match last year?
Georgios Stanellis: Ok, enough is enough! Every week, you have some snide remark to say about us!
Kitty Kayleen: The nerve of you, I should slap that headset off right now.
Georgios Stanellis: You’re better than that Kitty. Let’s leave this simple minded fool behind. Eve, we quit. Goodluck finding someone who has an ounce of our talent on commentary!
With that, Georgios and Kitty got up and left, clearly frustrated. Eve watched them go, then seemed to smile and relax.
Eve Solace: Well it looks like our show must go on without them! Let’s get to our main event title match!
Dixie Boyle and Ivy Clarke made their entrance, serious and ready for the match.
Eve Solace: Pastor James was at ringside last week, but I’m told that due to trying to jump the barricade and interfere, he’s been banned from the arena for the week, so Boyle and Clarke need to rely solely on each other!
As the lights dimmed and the laser show started for the Dystopians, the tag team champions of Dark Raven and Void-N walked down to the ring with a slow pace. As they reached it, they were surprised for Dixie and Ivy to jump over the ropes and knocking them down.
The surprise attack by the challengers helped, as once the match started, Dixie and Ivy were able to make frequent tags. However, Ivy missed with a springboard clothesline, and it gave Void-N and Dark Raven the opening they needed.
The Dystopians then started to isolate Ivy, as Dixie desperately wanted a tag, but failed to get it. Dark Raven then grabbed Ivy and got her in position for a double team move with Void-N, but Dixie climbed to the top rope on her corner and jumped, knocking down The Dystopians, Ivy, and also referee Brenda Moses.
Dixie started going to town on the Dystopians, hitting a Gut Wrench Suplex on Dark Raven, then one on Void-N. She pulled Ivy’s body by the arm and placed it on top of Dark Raven, then tried to get Brenda Moses to stir.
Eve Solace: If Brenda can get up, we might have new champions!
At that point running from the crowd and jumping over security came Cole Arcane. He ran into the ring, behind Dixie Boyle, and hit the Running Bulldog, before rolling out and running up the ramp.
Dark Raven slowly crawled over to Dixie, covering her as Brenda Moses finally started to get up, counting a slow one…two……and finally three.
Eve Solace: She wasn’t even the legal competitor. I’m sorry, but I’m disappointed. That was a great match that just got ruined by the ending.
The Dystopians finally started to recover, getting to their feet and holding the titles up, but definitely exhausted.
Eve Solace: I will say this though, The Dystopians are a well balanced team, and they’re still the champions. Viewers, this is last Lockup until next fall, but I’ll see you next week at Downtown Disaster! Good night!
