Primetime returns from commercial break with a table set up in the middle of the ring. On it, lays the contract laying out the terms for the Queen of Queens Championship Match set for GZWA’s upcoming Riot Control PPV, along with two pens for the reigning champion and challenger - aka the winner of Reina de Reinas Tres - to sign in agreement.
Mary stood in front of this table with two chairs at opposite ends of the table for the two women that she was going to invite to join her in the ring.
Sensational Mary: “On February 17, 2018, we saw the women of professional wrestling set the industry on fire once again as GZWA hosted the third inaugural Reina de Reinas tournament. As winner of Reina de Reinas Dos and holder of the Queen of Queens Championship, Vi Malkov challenged GZWA Women’s Champion Susie Price in a winner takes all match. Susie Price fell to the White Hawk and Vi Malkov currently stands as both the reigning Queen of Queens and Women’s Champions. As winner of the Reina de Reinas Tres tournament, Fujiko Mine is guaranteed an one-on-one shot at the Queen of Queens Championship. If she wins the title and manages to retain until the next Reinas tournament, then she will be granted the same opportunity that Vi Malkov was offered at the last event.
I would have topped off Reinas Tres with this clash of powers, but I wanted to give both women the opportunity to rest and be at the top of their game with the championship on the line. As far as I’m concerned, there won’t be any excuses why the ladies won’t be able to perform at the best of their ability.
At this time, I would like to invite both the challenger, Fujiko Mine, and the champion, Vi Malkov, to join me in the ring and read over this document and agree to the terms specified.”
Two quick guitar riffs ring out through the arena, and the crowd cheers loudly. warm pink and gold lights swirl around the arena.
I’m calling you...from the future…to let you know we made a mistake...
And there’s a fog from the past that’s giving me such a headache…
And I'm back with a madness
I'm a champion of the people who don't believe in champions
I got nothing but dreams inside, I got nothing but dreams
I'm just young enough to still believe, still believe
But young enough not to know what to believe in
Young enough not to know what to believe in, yeah
…
I'm a champion of the people who don't believe in champions
I got nothing but dreams inside, I got nothing but dreams
I'm just young enough to still believe, still believe
But young enough not to know what to believe in
Young enough not to know what to believe in, yeah
…
At the top of one of the crowd entrances, one Fujiko Mine appears.
The camera focuses on her as she looks out at the fans surrounding her. The imposing Xena stands behind her, looking stern. The nearest fans wave to catch her attention; Fujiko slaps some hands as she makes her way through the crowd and down to the ring.
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this…
If I can live through this
If I can live through this…
Fujiko stops where she is, and throws her hands straight up in the air. All the lights in the arena go bright, and she yells out along with the song and the crowd…
”I CAN DO ANYTHING!!”
She continues moving towards the ring, and as the lyric comes back around, she repeats the previous motion. Fujiko reaches the ringside area, and follows it up with a graceful handspring onto and over the guardrail. She quickly runs up the steps, then hops onto the top turnbuckle. Xena clears the guardrail behind her, and a single spotlight converges on the woman known as the Apex Goddess.
Fujiko poses on the top turnbuckle, her hands outstretched over her head and her eyes closed. The lights return to normal. She removes herself from the top turnbuckle, and Xena climbs into the ring to stand behind Fujiko as she awaits the White Hawk.
Silence falls onto the arena. A loud pop sparks in the crowd as the lights dull down. “Never Enough” by Epica starts out, leading to an elegant array of soft blues and whites. As the symphonic sounds traverse the arena, Vi Malkov makes her appearance out. She wears a leather jacket, along with some black pants and her combat boots. The major point of interest is the two championships, the Reina de Reina belt - or rather the Queen of Queens Championship and the GZWA Women’s Championship. She wears them in a X over her chest as she makes her way down to the ring.
She eyes Fujiko and Xena from afar, letting an intrigued smirk cross her normally stoic lips. She walks up the steps, “zooming her view in” with her hand. Following the gesture, she enters and moves her way around to her preferred section. She looks around the arena, seeing the support from the GZWA faithful. She nods accordingly.
Fujiko Mine: It’s an honor to be out here. It’s even more of an honor to get to face off against the woman who has managed to be undefeated for so long. She’s an amazing wrestler, no doubt. It’s my aim to put on a show that these fans will not soon forget.
She nods towards Vi.
Fujiko Mine: I saw first hand how you dismantled Susie Price. I am not out here to repeat her mistakes. I know the kind of a threat you are, Vi. I know that in a match with you? I could very be considered the underdog.
She paces a little bit before she continues.
Fujiko Mine: That’s fine with me. I’m here for the fight with you; to test myself against a woman who has put together one of the most impressive streaks in recent memory. I’m here to try and make a greater name for myself by facing you. I’m here to show this GZWA audience that my victory in the Reinas Tres tournament was no fluke.
Finally, a smile.
Fujiko Mine: And I’m here to try and beat you.
She puts down her microphone, and signs her name on the open contract. Vi is busy humming to the rhythm of Fujiko’s theme song. When she stops, she looks down at the contract with an arched eyebrow. Before speaking, she signs the dotted line herself and flings the pen behind her without any fanfare.
Vi Malkov: That’s out the way.
Vi places both of her championship belts down on the table over the contract and stretches her shoulders.
Vi Malkov: 643 days. 494 days. Four people. These are some numbers for you to process. The first is how long I’ve been wrestling and thus undefeated. 494 days I’ve spent as champion. Four people have come to try to take my championship from me and have fallen. Fujiko Mine, the FGA Pride Champion, I know who you are. I know exactly what you do. I knew that you were going to win the tournament that I’ve created my legacy on. Now, I know why you’re here. You believe that it’s time for these statistics to go up in flames.
Vi lolls her tongue in her mouth.
Vi Malkov: You failing at defeating me won’t make your tournament win a fluke. You will still make a greater name for yourself. Just understand that it’ll be because you’ll be the best challenge I’ve overcome. You’ll live to make me stronger and to make more people quake in their wrestling boots. Because what happens if Fujiko Mine, the Apex Goddess, falls to the White Hawk?
The double champion giggles.
Vi Malkov: People will start questioning who will be able to beat me. The same courage that you have and the bravado that others have will fall to pieces and I’ll truly be able to say that I’m the World’s Greatest.
Mary concludes, “Vi, you will not defend the Women’s Championship on this event, BUT… I will have a hand in determining a #1 Contender to challenge you since Susie Price hasn’t been seen since Reinas Tres. She is still guaranteed a rematch opportunity whenever she decides to come back after nursing her injuries, but the show must go on and I will find you a new challenger in the meantime. GZWA’s women’s locker room is full of far too many hungry competitors for you to go unchallenged… Plus we don’t want feed that foolish assumption that you have a stranglehold on the division by not welcoming any and all challengers to that title.
Mary watches Vi sign the contract and hand the clipboard over.
“With that said and done, we’ll be seeing you two ladies at Riot Control on May 28th. May best woman be the victor.”
