Earlier today.

Flashbulbs go off.

There are no fans in Korakuen Hall yet.

All sixteen women are inside the ring being photographed. Standing in the rear, we see Jinny, Becky Lynch, Deonna Purrazzo, Nia Jax, Charlotte Flair, Shotzi Blackheart, Velvet Sky, and Ariel. Kneeling in front of them, we see Hyper Misao, AZM, Ember Moon, Sasha Banks, Gionna Daddio, Rhea Ripley, Tam Nakano, and Tessa Blanchard. Sasha Banks clutches a piece of white board with Japanese text painted on it, along with "Ring of Dreams!" written in English across the bottom. As we watch this customary photo shoot take place, we hear the hushed voices of Tony Schiavone and Trish Stratus greet us.

[ Trish Stratus ] Everyone, welcome to the historic first-ever SHE-1 tournament. I'm Trish Stratus. Sitting here next to me is the voice of Solid Gold Wrestling himself, Tony Schiavone.

[ Tony Schiavone ] Hiya', fans.

[ Trish Stratus ] We're so proud to have the opportunity to present this show to you. It's something that never would have happened in any previous iteration of Solid Gold Wrestling. Jeff Jarrett and I have worked diligently to make this event possible but we couldn't have done it without the support of our world class talent or our wonderful fans.

The women shuffle about, changing positions. More flashbulbs go off.

[ Tony Schiavone ] This tournament features sixteen of the best female competitors in the world today. They've gathered here this evening to compete head to head in a single elimination tournament with a huge prize on the line in the finals.

[ Trish Stratus ] That's right, Tony. The winner of the tournament will not only receive a shot at the SGW Women's Championship but a coveted Golden Ticket and a trophy.

[ Tony Schiavone ] The Golden Ticket alone is worth enduring what one may go through in this tournament. It can be used to grant its holder anything she can imagine within the bounds of the Championship Committee's power.

Silence. Shuffling. More flashbulbs.

[ Trish Stratus ] With that being established, we have a long and exciting night ahead of us, Tony. Let's go to the ring for our first match.

With the photo shoot finished, the women file out of the ring and we fade to black.

Referee - Jessika Carr | Time Limit - 15:00

Jinny and Becky meet in the center of the ring as Jessika Carr calls for the bell. Becky immediately lets loose with a series of forearms, backing Jinny into the corner. Becky continues letting loose until Jinny falls into a seated position. Becky begins stomping away at Jinny before turning and running across the ring. Becky returns with double knees to the chest of the longest reigning champion in SGW history!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Becky Lynch is dealing out straight fire! Debuting on the main roster several months ago, Becky Lynch is now one of the top female talents on SGW's SHOCK brand!

[ Trish Stratus ] If she's able to put Jinny away in the first round, that will be quite the feather in her cap. Not only is Jinny the longest reigning SGW Women's World Champion, she's the longest reigning CHAMPION in SGW history.

Becky pulls Jinny out of the corner and Jinny swings with a big haymaker. Becky ducks it and catches her, BEXSPLODER! Becky goes for the cover! ONE! TWO! Jinny kicks out! Jinny quickly rolls under the bottom rope, favoring her back. Becky follows her out and gives chase! Jinny makes a lap around the ring before sliding under the bottom rope. Becky follows her in but Jinny is waiting on her with a stomp to the back! Jinny takes over with a series of quick stomps before pulls Becky to her feet and whipping her into the ropes. She goes for a clothesline but Becky ducks it. Jinny turns around into a SHOTGUN DROPKICK from Becky!

[ Trish Stratus ] Becky Lynch is making the best of this opportunity, giving Jinny everything she's got!

Becky goes for a cover! One! Two! Jinny throws her shoulder up but Becky immediately snatches it and uses Jinny's momentum to roll her right over into the DIS-ARM-HER! Jinny reaches for the ropes but she's too far away! The fans gasp as Shayna Baszler emerges from the back and climbs onto the apron, yelling at Jessika Carr and getting her attention. Jinny begins tapping out but Jessika Carr doesn't see it happen!

[ Tony Schiavone ] You've gotta be kidding me! Becky Lynch has just made Jinny tap out! Get Shayna Baszler out of there!

Becky releases the hold and approaches Shayna, but before she can make contact, Sonya Deville slides into the ring and nails Becky out of nowhere with the SQUARE UP KICK! Becky goes down and Sonya leaves the ring, walking backward up the ramp with a satisfied look on her face. Jinny gets up, eyeballing the fallen Becky as Shayna hops off the apron! Jessika Carr turns around just in time to see Jinny snatch Becky up by her wrist and nails her with the ACID RAINMAKER! Jinny covers and hooks both legs! ONE! TWO! THREE!

WINNER
JINNY via PINFALL in 06:11

As soon as the bell rings, Shayna Baszler pulls Jinny out of the ring by her ankle and begins rushing her to the back. Jinny turns to face the ring as they leave, smiling with her arm raised.

[ Tony Schiavone ] Ridiculous! Jinny has sullied this good tournament in the very FIRST match with her shenanigans!

[ Trish Stratus ] It's unfortunate but it's the reality of the tournament going forward. Jinny has advanced to the second round and she's certainly put the rest of the women in her bracket on notice.

[ Tony Schiavone ] What was Sonya Deville even doing here in Japan!?

[ Trish Stratus ] I think it's obvious, Tony. She came here tonight to screw over Becky Lynch and that's exactly what she did.

Inside the ring, Becky gets up to one knee, favoring her head and neck. Scowling, Beckly rolls out of the ring and heads toward the back with purpose in her step, looking for Sonya Deville!

We head backstage where we see Shotzi Blackheart standing by with Cathy Kelley in front of the SHE-1 interview backdrop. Shotzi is already in her gear, ready for her match later tonight. Smiling, Cathy gets us started.

[ Cathy Kelley ] Shotzi Blackheart, you've had quite the rocky start here in Solid Gold Wrestling... picking up a huge win in your debut match but then losing later on to Rhea Ripley and Ember Moon. Tonight, in the first round of the tournament, you're going to be standing across the ring from a world class athlete in Charlotte Flair. Where's your head at as you head into this match?

[ Shotzi Blackheart ] Where's my head at?! Where's my HEAD?! Where IS my head, Cathy?! OW OW AWOOOOO! I'll tell you where it is, girlie! It's inside my tank, peering over the wheel as I get the competition in my sights... AND BLOW 'EM ALL AWAY!

Shotzi turns and looks right into the camera.

[ Shotzi Blackheart ] You're right, I've had a rocky start here in SGW and I've probably got a rocky road ahead of me! But that ain't gonna get me down! NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER! TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS! That's my motto and Charotte Flair, that's the mindset I'm takin' into our match tonight--

Velvet Sky walks into the shot with a vacant smile on her face. Shotzi and Cathy both look confused by her presence.

[ Cathy Kelley ] Um... Velvet Sky? What are you doing here?

Velvet looks Shotzi up and down.

[ Velvet Sky ] Isn't it obvious? I'm making my debut in Tokyo, Japan tonight so that I can give SGW something it's never had before... and will never have again... a true beauty, a one in a million talent, and an ass that doesn't stop.

Shotzi and Cathy both look disgusted.

[ Velvet Sky ] I'm here to let the pigeons loose in Tokyo.

[ Shotzi Blackheart ] God damn, is this really happening?

[ Cathy Kelley ] I... I think it is.

Before this can go any further, Ariel walks into the shot while shuffling a deck of Tarot cards. Shotzi, Cathy, and Velvet all turn their eyes to her. Ariel pulls a card from the center of the deck, looks at it, and smirks. She hands the card to Velvet. Velvet looks down at the card, confused.

[ Velvet Sky ] What the hell is this?

[ Ariel ] Your future.

[ Velvet Sky ] What's with the ugly skeleton on it?

[ Ariel ] The cards are not in your favor tonight.

Ariel turns and walks away. Velvet Sky huffs and flicks the card onto the floor before turning and walking away as well. Cathy and Shotzi just look at each other with disappointment as we fade out.

Referee - Ryan Tran | Time Limit - 15:00

Nia Jax and Deonna Purrazzo shake hands to begin the match, drawing respectful applause from the fans. However, before the grip is broken, Deonna boots Nia Jax in the stomach and takes her over in a headlock! Deonna keeps Nia in the hold for a long moment, a confident look on her face before Nia suddenly lifts Deonna up and drops her on her head and neck with a back suplex!

[ Tony Schiavone ] You're not going to get one over on the craft cool cousin of The Rock, Nia Jax!

[ Trish Stratus ] I don't know what Deonna was thinking with that one. She has to know that Nia Jax is a favorite to win this tournament!

Nia Jax rolls back to her feet and pulls Deonna up behind her with a handful of hair. She lifts Deonna up and slings her over her head with a fallaway slam! Deonna scrambles for the bottom rope, trying to escape but Nia Jax catches her ankle and pulls her up quickly into a wheelbarrow position! With no hesitation, Nia Jax plants Deonna with a wheelbarrow German suplex! With Deonna flat on her back, Nia Jax hits the ropes and goes for a BIG LEG DROP but Deonna rolls out of the way, scrambles back to her feet, and kicks Nia Jax in the face with a basement dropkick!

[ Tony Schiavone ] The tide has turned!

[ Trish Stratus ] For a talent like Deonna Purrazzo, it only takes one mistake!

Deonna pulls Nia Jax up by her hair and boots her in the stomach. Deonna hooks her for a suplex but Nia Jax is JUST TOO BIG! Nia Jax hoists Deonna up for a suplex of her own! Deonna manages to knee Nia Jax in the top of the head and escapes, landing behind her! Deonna grabs Nia around the waist and tries to German suplex her but Nia won't go with it! Nia grabs both of Deonna's hands and throws her ass backwards, sending Deonna flying backward like a bullet fired from a gun!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Come on! Deonna has to know better!

[ Trish Stratus ] I'm really questioning her strategy here.

Deonna scrambles back to her feet and immediately charges, clipping Nia Jax's knee! Nia goes down and Deonna hits the ropes... RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE! Nia Jax goes down, flat on her back. Deonna falls on top of her! One! Two! Nia Jax powers out! Nia Jax slowly returns to her feet! Deonna runs up to her and nails her with a forearm! She nails her with another series of forearms but Nia no-sells them and immediately hoists Deonna over her head in a gorilla press slam position... but as she holds Deonna over her head, Hikaru Shida and Shoko Nakajima appear on the ramp, flanked by the Brainwashed Abyss! They've got Eve Torres and Tamina Snuka with black bags over their heads!

[ Tony Schiavone ] No! This is despicable! Not the Cube Army!

[ Trish Stratus ] They're here to antagonize Nia Jax but she can't give them the satisfaction! She must focus on the match!

Nia Jax's bottom lip trembles. She's worried about her friends! Deonna manages to slip out of the gorilla press and grabs Nia around the waist. She pushes her forward into the ropes and pulls her back into a pinning predicament! ONE! TWO! THREE!

WINNER
DEONNA PURRAZZO via PINFALL in 05:29

Deonna Purrazzo immediately rolls out of the ring and escapes up the ramp, smiling with her arms raised in the air. She walks right past the Cube Army without incident and disappears behind the curtain!

[ Trish Stratus ] What a disappointing end to the match. That's two matches tonight marred by interference. My heart goes out to Nia Jax tonight.

In the ring, Nia Jax returns to her feet. She rolls out of the ring and charges up the ramp, going after the Big Kaijus but they escape with Abyss, Tamina, and Eve Torres before Nia Jax can reach them. Nia Jax disappears behind the curtain in hot pursuit as we fade out.

We go backstage where we see Charlotte Flair and Tessa Blanchard watching the match that just took place on a monitor. Tessa switches the monitor off, looking satisfied with the outcome.

[ Charlotte Flair ] She's resourceful. I'll give her that.

[ Tessa Blanchard ] Taking down Nia Jax is no small feat. I think we've got a good one on our hands with Miss Purrazzo.

Almost as if on cue, Deonna Purrazzo walks into the room, fresh off her match. She picks up a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and takes a drink. Charlotte and Tessa both eye her. Charlotte smirks.

[ Charlotte Flair ] Congratulations on the big win.

Purrazzo nods.

[ Deonna Purrazzo ] Thanks. It was nothing.

[ Tessa Blanchard ] Nothing? Right. Well, I hope you saved your energy. You've got the longest reigning champion in SGW history next.

[ Charlotte Flair ] Jinny doesn't play... but I think you've got it in you. Take her down and maybe we'll see each other in the finals, kid.

Tessa looks at Charlotte, annoyed.

[ Tessa Blanchard ] I'm standing right here.

[ Charlotte Flair ] I know.

They glare at each other. Charlotte begins to walk away.

[ Charlotte Flair ] Anyway, I'm up next. Watch and see how it's done, girls.

Charlotte walks out of the room, toward the gorilla position. Deonna and Tessa exchange a look before Tessa shakes her head and flicks the monitor back on. We fade as Tessa and Deonna prepare to watch the next match.

Referee - Aubrey Edwards | Time Limit - 15:00

As soon as the bell rings, both women charge at each other! Charlotte goes for an aggressive lock-up but Shotzi drops quickly, catching Charlotte around her hip and pulling her down into an aggressive schoolgirl roll-up! ONE! TWO! THREE!

WINNER
SHOTZI BLACKHEART via PINFALL in 00:19

The fans gasp in awe as Shotzi rolls out of the ring with a huge smile on her face!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Wait, what just happened?!

[ Trish Stratus ] One of the fastest matches in SGW history just happened!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Shotzi Blackheart has just pulled off the upset of the century! In record time!

Charlotte sits in the middle of the ring, looking furious. The camera focuses on Shotzi Blackheart as she stands on the stage with her first raised in the air, before cupping her mouth and beginning to howl in victory!

We head backstage where we see Gionna Daddio preparing for her return match. She's already in her gear, doing some light stretches. The door to the dressing room opens up and she's greeted by Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan. Gionna smiles and greets each of them with a hug.

[ Gionna Daddio ] I'm glad you two could make it.

[ Ruby Riott ] Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Logan snorts.

[ Sarah Logan ] Well, I mostly just showed up hopin' I could get my hands on that Hyper Mee-sow but figgered I might as well stop in and say hey.

[ Gionna Daddio ] Yeah, sure.

[ Ruby Riott ] How are you feeling?

[ Gionna Daddio ] Ready... ready to prove everybody wrong.

She clenches a fist and looks down at it.

[ Gionna Daddio ] Ready to prove that the match with Nia Jax was a fluke... and that I really am a threat in Solid Gold Wrestling. After tonight, everyone's gonna realize they made a huge mistake in doubting me.

Ruby nods confidently.

[ Ruby Riott ] Right on.

[ Sarah Logan ] Hell yeah, I guess.

Ruby puts her arm around Sarah's shoulders.

[ Ruby Riott ] Let's get outta here.

She flicks her eyes toward Gionna.

[ Ruby Riott ] We'll see ya' out there. Good luck.

Gionna huffs.

[ Gionna Daddio ] Luck is for losers.

Ruby smirks.

[ Ruby Riott ] Touché.

Ruby and Sarah leave the room, allowing Gionna to continue preparing for her match.

Referee - Paul Turner | Time Limit - 15:00

As soon as the bell rings, Velvet Sky charges across the ring and corners Ariel, throwing sloppy looking punches and knee lifts that look like shit. Ariel grabs two handfuls of hair and slings Velvet to the mat before falling on top of her and writhing around as both women shriek.

[ Trish Stratus ] This... this is not good.

[ Tony Schiavone ] Oh my.

They roll around aimlessly as Paul Turner looks on in awe. Ariel ends up on top and mounts Velvet, raining down awkward forearms before standing up and stomping Velvet in the stomach. Velvet cries out in pain as Ariel pulls her up to her feet with a handful of badly frosted hair. Ariel whips Velvet into the ropes-- NO! Velvet reverses it! Both women awkwardly fumble toward the ropes and Ariel collides with Velvet, head to head, before dropping her to the mat with a sloppy headlock that vaguely looks like a DDT. Ariel ends up on top of Velvet and Paul Turner counts to three, even though Velvet's shoulder was awkwardly off the mat at one and a half!

WINNER
ARIEL via PINFALL in 03:52

Paul Turner raises Ariel's arm as Velvet rolls out of the ring, looking disappointed.

[ Tony Schiavone ] Ariel has done it! She's moving on to the second round!

[ Trish Stratus ] I don't know what to say about this match, if I'm being honest.

We fade out as Ariel celebrates her victory in the ring.

We fade up backstage where we see Rhea Ripley standing in front of the interview set with Cathy Kelley next to her. Ripley is pounding her fist into her open palm while staring off into space. She's in the zone. Cathy gets us started.

[ Cathy Kelley ] Rhea Ripley... tonight, you're facing Gionna Daddio in the first round of--

Ripley snatches the microphone out of Cathy's hand. She glares at Cathy until she shrinks away and quickly leaves the scene. Ripley shakes her head in disgust. She turns and looks into the camera, fueled by intensity.

[ Rhea Ripley ] Gionna... Liv... little mafia princess... whateva' the fuck ya' wanna call ya'self... I don't care. The fact o' the matter is this... I'm going to destroy you... I'm going to RIP... YOU... APART!

Her eyes narrow.

[ Rhea Ripley ] I don't care about you... beating you means NOTHING to me! You're just the first step on a long road t' winnin' this whole bloody tournament... 'n I aim t' do just that... and then... it's gonna be me 'n Io Shirai... one on one... and I will become the champion that I was destined to be... count on it.

Ripley drops the microphone and walks off-camera.

Referee - Jessika Carr | Time Limit - 15:00

Hyper Misao offers a handshake to start but AZM swats the hand away, drawing a gasp from the fans. Starlight Kid looks disappointed at ringside. Undeterred, Misao responds by thumbing AZM in the eye and taking over with a headlock before delivering a devastating noogie! AZM struggles to get away and then rolls under the bottom rope where Starlight Kid tries to console her, only to get shoved away by AZM!

[ Trish Stratus ] This match is not going how I imagined so far.

[ Tony Schiavone ] You must not actually watch the show that often, then.

Hyper Misao follows AZM to the floor and grabs two handfuls of hair. She whips AZM around and knees her in the stomach before whipping her toward the guardrail-- NO! AZM reverses it and sends Misao into the rail! AZM follows her in and nails her with a running knee strike to the chest that knocks her over the rail and into the front row! Misao stands up and AZM nails her with a forearm! She hooks her... and suplexes her back into the ringside area!

[ Trish Stratus ] Fast paced, hard hitting offense from AZM!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Hyper Misao made the mistake of making AZM angry!

[ Trish Stratus ] You wouldn't expect such anger issues from someone so small!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Truly, she is hate shaped like a little girl!

[ Trish Stratus ] She's so cute, though.

AZM pulls Misao up and throws her under the bottom rope. AZM follows her in and pulls Misao to her feet. She goes for a snap suplex but Misao blocks it and nails AZM with a suplex of her own! Misao gets up and pumps her fist. She goes to the top rope and perches, waiting for AZM to get up. AZM slowly stands and Misao flies! I AM A HERO CROSSBODY! Misao gets all of it but AZM rolls through! ONE! TWO! THR-- MISAO ROLLS THROUGH, CRADLING AZM TIGHTLY! ONE! TWO! THREE!

WINNER
HYPER MISAO via PINFALL in 07:43

Hyper Misao rolls out of the ring and escapes up the ramp on her combat cycle, wearing the Goddess of SHOCK crown on her head. AZM pouts in the middle of the ring as Starlight Kid rolls in to check on her. We fade out on a shot of Lightning Star looking disappointed.

We head backstage where we see Sonya Deville making her way out of the arena in a hurry. She has her bags in hand as she heads for the door.

[ Tony Schiavone ] There's Sonya Deville, having done her damage for the evening by costing Becky Lynch her opening round match against Jinny earlier tonight.

[ Trish Stratus ] With Shock having been dissolved, I imagine it will be sooner rather than later that we'll witness these two get their hands on one another on the main roster.

[ Tony Schiavone ] What a fight that will be, surely.

As Sonya Deville pushes the door open, she's suddenly blasted from behind by Becky Lynch! Sonya goes face first into the door but Becky grabs a handful of Sonya's hair and pulls her back upright, swinging on her violently! Sonya turns and begins throwing hands as well. They tie up and fight through the door, out into the parking lot! Becky suddenly whips Sonya around and slings her into a row of trash cans!

[ Trish Stratus ] Someone's got to get out there and stop these two before someone gets hurt.

[ Tony Schiavone ] This has gotten out of control in a hurry!

Before Sonya can even stand, Becky descends on her, mounting her and raining down punches but security floods out of the arena and pulls her off. The women are still doing everything in their power to fight as they're separated and we fade to black.

Referee - Ryan Tran | Time Limit - 15:00

Bayley is ringside with both SGW Twinstar Championship belts. Ember Moon and Sasha Banks meet in the middle of the ring. Ember offers a handshake. Sasha Banks acts like she's going to accept it but then slaps Ember across the face! Ember immediately rages out and nails Sasha with a big forearm! Ember takes the fight to Sasha, blistering her with forearms until she's got her backed into the corner! Ember continues nailing Sasha with forearms before charging out of the corner. She runs back toward the corner but Sasha meets her coming in with a clothesline that turns Ember inside out! Ember ends up in a seated position just as Sasha Banks comes off the ropes with a RUNNING METEORA! Bayley celebrates at ringside as Sasha pulls Ember up by her hair and breaks out... THE THREE AMIGOS! However, Ember sandbags the final Amigo and delivers a suplex of her own!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Incredible fast paced action!

[ Trish Stratus ] This is what the SHE-1 tournament is all about!

Ember stands up, pumping her fists, and shouting "COME ONNNNN!" as Sasha Banks quickly rolls under the bottom rope. Bayley checks on Sasha, but as she helps Sasha regain her bearings, Ember Moon flies through the ropes and wipes both women out with a suicide dive! Ember wastes no time in pulling Sasha back to her feet and throwing her right back into the ring! Ember goes to the top rope and perches, waiting for Sasha to stand! Sasha gets up to one knee and grabs Ryan Tran by his shirt, pulling him close to her! Tran turns his back to Ember, allowing Bayley to climb onto the apron and nail Ember Moon with one of the Twinstar titles! Ember tumbles to the mat and Sasha pushes Ryan Tran out of the way! She scrambles to cover Ember and Tran counts! ONE! TWO! THREE!

WINNER
SASHA BANKS via PINFALL in 05:14

Sasha quickly rolls out of the ring and grabs both Twinstar titles from Bayley, holding them over her head as she and Bayley escape up the ramp!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Ember Moon was robbed!

[ Trish Stratus ] It did seem that she had the match well in hand, prepared to put Sasha Banks away with the Eclipse... but she turned her back on Bayley and it cost her. She must be devastated.

Ember Moon sits up on her knees, favoring the back of her head. She slowly gets to her feet and exits the ring as we fade to black.

We cut backstage where we see Brandi Lauren standing in catering, watching the match that just took place on a monitor. On her plate, we see a collection of fruit and vegetables. She prepares to take a bite of carrot when she's interrupted by Kat Marino.

[ Kat Marino ] Brandi Lauren, hi! Welcome to SGW!

Brandi looks at Marino, disgusted.

[ Brandi Lauren ] What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?

She gestures toward the monitor.

[ Brandi Lauren ] I'm scouting my competition.

[ Kat Marino ] Of course. Very smart thing to do. However, myself and the SGW fans were wondering what your thoughts were on the competition here. Is there anyone in particular you're looking forward to facing?

Brandi rolls her eyes.

[ Brandi Lauren ] Yeah. The champion. Got anymore smart questions?

Without warning, Brandi shoves her plate into Kat's chest where the heaping helping of ranch dressing causes it to stick, ruining her jacket. Kat looks down at the slowly sliding plate with disappointment as Brandi walks away.

Referee - Paul Turner | Time Limit - 15:00

Rhea Ripley attacks Gionna Daddio as she's entering the ring, destroying her with clubbing blows to the back, causing her to fall to all fours. Ripley continues the beatdown, putting the boots to Gionna before yanking her up by her hair and hoisting her up into a fallaway slam position. Rhea walks around with Gionna and then delivers the fallaway slam, throwing her all the way across the ring!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Goodness gracious alive! What strength!

[ Trish Stratus ] If Rhea Ripley isn't on your shortlist to win the tournament, then I don't know what you're thinking.

Rhea slowly returns to her feet and eyeballs Gionna as she writhes on the mat. Gionna gets up to one knee and Ripley descends on her, taking her by the hair and pulling her up to her feet. She lifts Gionna up in a vertical suplex and then walks around with her as if she weighs nothing! Everyone gasps in awe as Rhea suddenly slams her down with a JACKHAMMER! Rhea sits up on her knees, a satisfied smile on her face. Suddenly, the fans gasp in surprise as Io Shirai walks out onto the stage with the SGW Women's World Championship on her shoulder. Io watches Ripley, scowling. Ripley smiles right back at Io and then pulls Gionna to her feet. Gionna tries to fight back but Ripley staggers her with a brutal forearm and then plants her with RIPTIDE!

[ Tony Schiavone ] RIPTIDE! THAT'S HER MOVE!

[ Trish Stratus ] Gionna's fairytale return just got snuffed out in one blow. I'm so sad for her.

Ripley covers Gionna... ONE! TWO! THR-- RIPLEY PULLS GIONNA UP! Ripley points at Io Shirai and then picks Gionna back up. She whips her into the ropes... and crushes her with a BIG BOOT!

[ Trish Stratus ] I don't know how smart it was to pass up the victory like that. I understand that Rhea and Io have heat... but finish the match!

[ Tony Schiavone ] As members of the same Body Count team, Io Shirai and Rhea Ripley have had issues for several weeks now, each woman taking a physical toll on the other. This is simply yet another example of that rivalry!

Ripley stands over Gionna and then picks her up again. She throws Gionna into the corner and follows her in with a clothesline but Gionna ducks and rolls out of the corner! Ripley turns around and Gionna nails her with a FLYING HEADSCISSORS OUT OF THE CORNER! Ripley rolls right back to her feet and Gionna takes her with a clothesline! Ripley is right back up and Gionna is waiting with ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE! Ripley gets back to her feet on spaghetti legs and Gionna charges at her... BICYCLE KICK! Ripley staggers into the ropes and Gionna clotheslines her over the top rope to the floor!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Gionna Daddio is a house of fire!

Rhea lands on her feet and Gionna flies through the ropes... SUICIDE DIVE! NO! RHEA CATCHES HER! Rhea immediately turns and RAGDOLLS Gionna into the guardrail! The fans gasp. Ripley snatches Gionna up in a wheelbarrow hold and smashes her into the railing repeatedly before dropping her flapjack style on the apron! The hardest part of the ring! Ripley brushes the hair out of her eyes and throws Gionna under the bottom rope! Ripley follows her in and descends on her, mounting her and drilling her with forearm blows to the head and chest. Ripley pulls Gionna back up and hoists Gionna up for the RIPTIDE but Gionna's boot catches Paul Turner in the chin on the upswing! Ripley plants Gionna with her finish and goes for a cover but Paul Turner is favoring his chin, looking away from the action... but before Rhea can get up... IO SHIRAI FLIES FROM THE TOP ROPE AND NAILS RHEA ACROSS THE BACK WITH A MOONSAULT! Shirai pulls Rhea off of Gionna and pulls Gionna on top of her! Shirai leaves the ring and escapes up the ramp with the title! Paul Turner slowly turns around and counts! ONE! TWO! THREE!

WINNER
GIONNA DADDIO via PINFALL in 08:09

Gionna Daddio rolls off of Rhea Ripley and slides out of the ring with a surprised look on her face, not fully comprehending what just happened! We get a quick shot of Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan celebrating in the front row!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Gionna Daddio just took the first step in making history!

[ Trish Stratus ] What a huge return victory!

As Daddio celebrates up the ramp, we close on a shot of Rhea Ripley up on one knee in the center of the ring, looking furious.

We head backstage where we see Jamie Hayter standing in front of the SGW interview set in street clothes and a leather jacket. Hayter stands there in silence for a moment, looking smug. She finally turns her attention to the camera and begins speaking.

[ Jamie Hayter ] Ya' know... when the subject of women in this company typically comes up, who is it that gets mentioned? Christina Von Eerie? Jinny? Rhea fuckin' Ripley? What a joke.

She shakes her head in disgust.

[ Jamie Hayter ] Maybe Rhea Ripley won the first women's match in modern SGW history... but do you know who really made an impact in that very same match?

She gestures toward herself.

[ Jamie Hayter ] ME!

She points at the camera aggressively.

[ Jamie Hayter ] Rhea Ripley might have pinned Naomi... but I'm the one who took Naomi out! I've been 'ere since day one, takin' names 'n kickin' ass... and I'm not even invited t' be in this bloody fuckin' tournament. It's fuckin' bullshit, what it is!

She scoffs.

[ Jamie Hayter ] Anyway, I'm back, mates... 'n 'ere t' stove bloody cunts' heads in.

She throws up two middle fingers.

[ Jamie Hayter ] Ya' lord and savior is 'ere. Now fuck off, will ya'?

Hayter walks off camera as we fade out.

Referee - Bryce Remsburg | Time Limit - 15:00

Tessa Blanchard attacks Tam Nakano during her entrance, waffling her with the Elevation Championship. Tessa looms over Tam and tosses the title aside. She takes Tam by a handful of hair and drags her toward the ring on all fours before tossing her face first onto the floor at ringside. Tessa smirks as Tam tries to get up to all fours, prompting Tessa to boot her in the ribs.

[ Trish Stratus ] Tessa Blanchard is being overly aggressive with Tam Nakano. I don't understand!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Well, you saw what Shotzi Blackheart did to Charlotte Flair... Tessa Blanchard is taking no chances in being humiliated like her partner. If that means allowing her old mean streak to shine through... so be it, I suppose!

Tessa picks Tam up and hooks her for a vertical suplex... before drilling her with a brainbuster on the floor! Tessa pulls Tam up to her feet and throws her under the bottom rope. Tessa climbs onto the apron and then ascends the ropes. She perches on the top rope. Tam slowly gets to her feet and Tessa flies... MAGNUM! Tessa rolls right over on top of Tam and hooks both legs! ONE! TWO! THREE!

WINNER
TESSA BLANCHARD via PINFALL in 1:05

Tessa rolls off of Tam and rolls out of the ring confidently.

[ Tony Schiavone ] What an emphatic victory by Tessa Blanchard!

[ Trish Stratus ] Poor Tam Nakano. She never stood a chance.

We fade out on a shot of Tessa Blanchard standing on the stage, satisfied.

We cut backstage where we see Io Shirai pacing back and forth in front of the SHE-1 interview set. Her knee is visibly taped up. AZM and Starlight Kid are on either side of her looking concerned. Shirai has the SGW Women's World Championship in her grasp, staring down into the center plate and jabbering in Japanese. Cathy Kelley walks into the shot with a microphone in her hand.

[ Cathy Kelley ] Io... Io Shirai!

Io stops and slowly turns to look at Cathy with wide eyes.

[ Starlight Kid ] < Cathy-san, now is not the time! >

[ AZM ] < This doesn't concern you, Cathy-san! Leave! >

Cathy frowns but disregards the warning.

[ Cathy Kelley ] Io... you cost Rhea Ripley her first round match against Gionna Daddio. It's no secret that there's no love lost between you two... but an unprovoked attack seems out of character for you--

Io snatches the microphone out of Cathy's hand.

[ Io Shirai ] < UNPROVOKED ATTACK?! RHEA RIPLEY ATTACKS IO SHIRAI REPEATEDLY, NO MORE! >

Shirai tilts her head back.

[ Io Shirai ] RHEA! RHEAAAAAAAAA!

She looks down, directly into the camera.

[ Io Shirai ] RIP-UH-REE! I WEER DEFEAT YOU... AH-RONG WIT' ALL OTHERS... AT BODY COUNT! BUT I NO CARE... ABOUT OTHERS! I COME... STRAIGHT... FOR YOU!

As if she were summoned by her name being called, Rhea Ripley charges onto the scene and tackles Io Shirai through the interview set! The set collapses around them and Ripley quickly stands up, immediately booting Starlight Kid in the head before turning and forearming AZM right in the face. Ripley grabs a steel pole from the crashed set and wedges into the bend of Io's already injured knee and flips her over into a metal pole assisted HALF CRAB! Io Shirai cries out in pain as security floods the area to break up the fight! As they pry Rhea Ripley away, the camera focuses on Io Shirai clutching her taped up knee. We fade out.

Referee - Aubrey Edwards | Time Limit - 30:00

Jinny and Deonna meet in the middle of the ring before locking up. They jockey for position to start and Deonna immediately executes a go behind and takes Jinny down to the mat. Deonna wrestles circles around Jinny before catching her in a front facelock. Deonna cinches it in and Jinny slowly begins to fight back to her feet. Both women stand and Jinny begins elbowing her way out before backing into the ropes and shooting Deonna off. Jinny goes for a clothesline but Deonna ducks it and rebounds off the ropes, nailing Jinny with a running forearm! Jinny immediately poweders to the floor where Shayna Baszler is waiting to console her.

[ Tony Schiavone ] Lots of fire from Deonna Purrazzo to start!

[ Trish Stratus ] Deonna is one of the most promising new competitors in SGW! This match with the former SGW Women's World Champion will be quite the proving ground for her!

Deonna slides out of the ring, grabs Jinny by two handfuls of hair and slams her face first into the ring apron before turning and pushing Shayna Baszler away! Shayna approaches like she's going to attack, only to have Aubrey Edwards climbs out of the ring and get between them! Deonna goes to slide back under the bottom rope but Jinny is waiting on her with a boot to the back of the head! Jinny pulls Deonna up to her feet and whips her into the ropes, taking her down with a flying headscissors! Deonna rolls right back to her feet and Jinny collides with her, nailing her with a running TOUCH OF COUTURE that sends her tumbling through the ropes to the floor! Jinny turns and throws her hands out to the side arrogantly. Shayna Baszler pulls Deonna up to her feet and throws her under the bottom rope! Jinny goes for a cover... ONE! TWO! THR-- DEONNA GETS A FOOT ON THE ROPE!

[ Trish Stratus ] She almost had her but not quite!

[ Tony Schiavone ] It'll take more than that to put down Deonna Purrazzo!

Without hestitation, Jinny pulls Deonna to her feet and nails her with the ACID RAINMAKER! Jinny covers! ONE! TWO! THREE!

WINNER
JINNY via PINFALL in 6:18

Jinny rolls out of the ring and leaves up the ramp with Shayna Baszler. They stand on the stage, looking back down at the ring. Jinny raises her arm and then Shayna raises her other. We close on a shot of Aubrey Edwards trying to help Deonna back up to her feet.

We head backstage where we see Kat Marino standing by with Christina Von Eerie. The live crowd gasps and applauds, seeing Christina Von Eerie for the first time in several long months. Von Eerie is in street clothes, torn up jeans and a leather jacket over a SHE-1 t-shirt.

[ Kat Marino ] Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing here with the first-ever SGW Women's World Champion, Christina Von Eerie... Christina, you've been gone for several months following WrestleBrawl 3. In that time, the women's division here has undergone quite the evolution.

[ Christina Von Eerie ] You're absolutely right. You could almost say it's passed me by in a way... it's amazing to see where the division has gone in such a short period of time. I've been watching... I've always been watching... and I'm honored that SGW management saw fit to fly me here to witness this history making event in person.

[ Kat Marino ] I'm sure everyone's wondering... when are you coming back?

[ Christina Von Eerie ] Truth be told, I've really enjoyed my time away. I've been recharging and I'm always training, keeping my body and my mind sharp. I still have some receipts to hand out here in SGW... but it's not time yet.

Von Eerie looks down at the floor for a moment.

[ Christina Von Eerie ] Will it ever be time? One day, who knows.

She shrugs.

[ Christina Von Eerie ] But the girls who have it coming know who they are... and when that day comes, they'll know. And so will all of the SGW fans.

Marino nods.

[ Kat Marino ] Well, who is your pick to go all the way tonight?

Von Eerie scratches her chin.

[ Christina Von Eerie ] Honestly... coming in, I would've said Nia Jax but with her already out of the picture, I'm gonna say Tessa Blanchard. She's got a real chip on her shoulder after what Rhea Ripley did to her... she's got something to prove... and I think she's gonna ride that feeling all the way to the finals.

Before Von Eerie can go any further, Jinny walks into the shot with Shayna Baszler and the Highers at her back. Jinny walks right up to Von Eerie and they stand nose to nose. Jinny raises an eyebrow.

[ Jinny ] I thought I smelled bitch somewhere.

[ Aliyah ] Sick burn.

[ Vanessa Borne ] Slay, queen.

Von Eerie smirks, looking the whole group up and down before letting her eyes settle on Jinny.

[ Christina Von Eerie ] Long time, no see... where's your belt, champ? Oh wait... someone finally came along and knocked you off your high horse, didn't they?

Jinny places her hands on her hips and stares down her nose at Von Eerie.

[ Jinny ] It wasn't you, though.

Jinny smirks.

[ Jinny ] Cunt.

Their noses almost touch.

[ Jinny ] Now... fuck off back to the rock you crawled out from under while I go win this tournament... because that's what winners do, see? We move on and keep winning. We don't tuck our tails and run.

Pause.

[ Jinny ] Bitch.

Jinny turns her back to Von Eerie and walks away with Shayna and the Highers trailing behind her. The camera focuses on Von Eerie, looking frustrated by how that conversation went as we fade out.

Referee - Rick Knox | Time Limit - 30:00

Ariel attacks Shotzi Blackheart during the introductions! Shotzi fights back, throwing lefts and rights with reckless abandon! Ariel sloppily throws punches and knee lifts with no coordination before Shotzi headbutts her and delivers a suplex that causes Ariel to land hard and propel forward, crotching her on the bottom rope. "MY VAG!" she shrieks before Shotzi snatches her up and piledrives her straight on top of her head!

[ Tony Schiavone ] OH MY!

[ Trish Stratus ] Shotzi Blackheart has to end this quickly.

Shotzi goes or a cover! ONE! TWO! THR-- ARIEL FLAILS AWKWARDLY, KIND OF KICKING OUT! Shotzi looks frustrated and stands up, pointing toward the top turnbuckle. She whips the hair out of her eyes and climbs to the top... SENTON SPLASH! Shotzi covers Ariel and hooks both legs! ONE! TWO! THREE!

WINNER
SHOTZI BLACKHEART via PINFALL in 02:57

Shotzi rolls out of the ring, looking furious. She points up at the ring and mutters "fucking bullSHIT" as she walks to the back angrily. Unwilling to look back at the ring, we fade out on a shot of Shotzi Blackheart standing on the stage, looking annoyed.

Backstage in Jinny's private dressing room, we see the Highers catering to Jinny's every need. Aliyah brings her a bottled water while Vanessa touches up her make-up. Shayna Baszler is kicked back in a chair with her feet up on Jinny's vanity table.

[ Shayna Baszler ] Boy, you sure did tell that Christina Von Eerie geek, boss. You told her good!

Jinny rolls her eyes.

[ Jinny ] I'm so glad you approve.

[ Shayna Baszler ] I approve of everything you do, boss. That's why I got your back.

Jinny stands up, looking annoyed.

[ Jinny ] Bitches, pay attention.

The Highers and Shayna look at her, full attention.

[ Jinny ] Tonight, I will become the winner of the first-ever SHE-1 tournament... and I will be in possession of all of the riches that come with it. When I am victorious, I expect a suitable celebration will be waiting for me.

[ Aliyah ] Obviously.

[ Vanessa Borne ] Yasss, queen.

[ Jinny ] Tonight, I shall make history one more time. No one will stand in my way.

She curls her upper lip in disgust.

[ Jinny ] No one.

Fade.

Sasha stands up, performs the Eddie Guerrero shimmy, and then ascends the ropes! Sasha flies! FROG SPLASH! NO! HYPER MISAO MOVES!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Critical miss by Sasha Banks!

[ Trish Stratus ] If Misao can capitalize on that mistake, she could win the match! Just imagine if Hyper Misao upset one half of the Twinstar Champions!

Misao gets back to her feet and ascends the ropes herself! She perches on the top rope and then stands, pumping her fist with a huge smile on her face! I AM A HERO! SHE GETS ALL OF IT! NO! SASHA ROLLS THROUGH! ONE! TWO! THR-- MISAO BRIDGES OUT! Sasha slaps Misao across the stomach with both hands and then pulls her back up to her feet. She whips Misao into the ropes and goes for a clothesline but Misao ducks it! Misao rebounds off the ropes and nails Sasha with a SPEAR! Sasha quickly powders outside where Bayley is waiting. Sasha is sobbing as Bayley strokes her hair and tells her everything is going to be okay... until they look up and see Hyper Misao coming down from the top rope on them with a FLYING CROSS BODY TO THE FLOOR!

[ Trish Stratus ] Big risk, big reward! The Goddess of SHOCK is making an impact!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Heavy is the head which wears the crown! And so is the cross body, heavy as it descends from the top rope to the floor!

[ Trish Stratus ] Okay!

Misao gets up, pumping her fists, and grabs Sasha by her gear. She slings Sasha under the bottom rope and starts to follow her inside but Bayley grabs Misao's leg, holding her down! Sasha struggles back to her feet and stomps away at Misao, robbing her of her advantage! Bayley shoves Misao under the bottom rope, allowing Sasha to take over.

Sasha takes over with a knee lift and goes for a suplex but Misao slips out of it, landing behind Sasha, and planting her with a release German suplex! Hyper Misao points at the turnbuckles and then climbs! She perches on the top rope and screams "I AM A HERO! I WILL PROTECT PEACE AND LOVE IN SGW" in Japanese! The fans gasp and applaud politely! But then Bayley leaps onto the apron, wearing the Goddess of SHOCK crown and clucking like a chicken while screaming "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME, SHEEP!" Hyper Misao is confused, allowing Sasha to leap onto the ropes and bring Misao down with a TOP ROPE HURRICANRANA! The impact sends Misao staggering straight back up into a standing position! Sasha charges up behind her... LUNGBLOWER! SHE FLOATS OVER INTO THE BANK STATEMENT!

[ Tony Schiavone ] Reach for the ropes! You can do it!

[ Trish Stratus ] She's got it locked right in the center!

Hyper Misao struggles, dragging Sasha several inches across the ring before contorting her body and getting her feet on the bottom rope! Before the hold can be broken, Misao pushes off the ropes and rolls over on top of Sasha, trapping her arms! ONE! TWO! THREE!

Bayley immediately chucks the crown into the ring and slides inside, putting the boots to Misao! Bayley and Sasha stomp and kick away at Misao before Bayley pulls her to her feet and drills her with the Belly to Bayley! The Boss 'n Hug Connection stands tall over Misao, furious.

[ Tony Schiavone ] Those fiends! Leave Hyper Misao alone!

[ Trish Stratus ] The reigning Goddess of SHOCK champion is moving on to the next round but at what cost?

We fade out on a shot of Hyper Misao in the middle of the ring, clutching her crown with pain in her eyes.

We head backstage where we see Nia Jax standing by with Kat Marino. Nia Jax is visibly angry, pounding her fist into her open palm. Kat Marino gets the interview off the ground.

[ Kat Marino ] Nia Jax, I understand you're disappointed with how your first round match ended. Deonna Purrazzo pinned you after interference from the Big Kaijus. As everyone watching knows, you recently attempted to insert yourself into the Big Kaijus' upcoming Twinstar title match at No Remorse... unfortunately, I have some bad news--

Before Kat Marino can reveal the bad news, Hikaru Shida and Shoko Nakajima walk into the shot. Shida has a knowing smile on her face. Nia Jax scowls at both of them.

[ Hikaru Shida ] Bad news... I will... reveal!

Shoko steps up, pointing at Nia Jax.

[ Shoko Nakajima ] YOU NO HAVE PARTNER! YOU NO GET TITLE SHOT!

[ Hikaru Shida ] You have... no friends!

[ Nia Jax ] That's not true! You're a liar! I have lots of friends!

[ Shoko Nakajima ] YOU WEER DIE AH-RONE!

[ Hikaru Shida ] Big Kaiju... weer beat... Sasha and Bayree!

Kat Marino looks from the Kaijus to Jax.

[ Kat Marino ] Nia, only part of what they're saying is true. According to Trish Stratus, you won't be allowed to compete in the title match at No Remorse. If you can find a partner--

Before Kat can continue, Hyper Misao charges onto the set, fresh off her match with Sasha Banks. Misao snatches the microphone from Kat's hand and pie faces her out of the way, almost knocking her down.

[ Hyper Misao ] < NIA JAX! THE NEFARIOUS BOSS 'N HUG CONNECTION HAS TRIED TO STOP ME FROM PROTECTING PEACE AND LOVE IN TOKYO! >

Nia looks at Hyper Misao, nodding as she realizes what's happening.

[ Hyper Misao ] < I WILL JOIN YOU AT NO REMORSE TO VANQUISH THEM AS WELL AS THE EVIL, SMELLY KAIJUS! >

Jax grabs Misao by the wrist and brings the microphone up to her mouth.

[ Nia Jax ] I'm in.

Dramatic pause.

[ Nia Jax ] But only if you let me wear that cool crown.

Hyper Misao looks up at the crown resting on her head.

[ Hyper Misao ] < SURE! >

Nia Jax removes the crown from Misao's head and puts it on her own head.

[ Nia Jax ] I like it.

[ Hyper Misao ] < YES! SHE LIKES IT! WE ARE HEROES! AND WE WILL DO HEROIC THINGS! TOGETHER! AS FRIENDS! >

[ Hikaru Shida ] Fine! We will beat all of you... to become champion!

There's a click and a flash from off-camera. The camera pans over to reveal Sasha Banks taking a selfie with Bayley looking over her shoulder, throwing up peace signs with her eyes squinted... because the flash was so bright. That's the ticket.

[ Sasha Banks ] KONICHIWA, LOSERS!

[ Bayley ] Selfie time, sheep!

[ Sasha Banks ] Hashtag Boss Time, hashtag legit boss, hashtag rolemodels, hashtag rich and famous, hashtag fat and broke, hashtag daddy Chavo, hashtag totally retaining the titles at No Remorse because all these other teams are jokes, hashtag jajajaja, hashtag amayayayayazing. And posted.

Sasha looks over her shoulder at them.

[ Sasha Banks ] Time to go. I might be out of the tournament... but I'm still getting PAID!

[ Bayley ] THE CHECKS STILL CLEAR, SHEEPLE!

Sasha and Bayley walk off-camera, leaving the Big Kaijus, Misao, and Nia Jax alone with Kat Marino. Marino watches the champions leave and then raises her microphone again.

[ Kat Marino ] Ladies and gentlemen, there you have it... the Twinstar titles will be on the line at No Remorse when the Boss 'n Hug Connection defend against the Big Kaijus and the... um... unconventional team of Nia Jax and... Hyper Misao? Back to you, Trish and Tony!

Fade.

Referee - Mike Chioda | Time Limit - 30:00

Tessa slugs Gionna down and grabs the Elevation Championship. Gionna staggers out and rolls under the bottom rope. Tessa slides the Elevation title under the bottom rope and follows it in. Chioda grabs the Elevation title and throws it under the bottom rope on the opposite side, allowing Tessa to boot Gionna right in the crotch and plant her with a DDT! Tessa covers! Chioda turns around and counts! ONE! TWO! THR-- GIONNA KICKS OUT!

[ Trish Stratus ] I can't believe it! She won't quit!

We go backstage where we see that Hyper Misao is on her way to the ring, riding through the corridors backstage on the combat cycle. Kat Marino stops her suddenly. Misao brings the bicycle to a screeching halt, almost flinging the crown off her head in the process.

[ Kat Marino ] Hyper Misao! I know you must be totally focused on your upcoming match with Jinny, but please tell the viewers at home how it feels to be heading into the semi-finals of this tournament?

Misao gives it some thought.

[ Hyper Misao ] < Very excited! Becoming Goddess of SHOCK... VERY BIG DEAL! But stepping in the ring with longest reigning champion in SGW history for the first time ever? EVEN BIGGER DEAL! Tonight, Hyper Misao protects LOVE AND PEACE by vanquishing Jinny for all time! >

[ Kat Marino ] I for one cannot wait to see this.

[ Hyper Misao ] < And then... TWINSTAR GLORY WITH NIA JAX! >

Hyper Misao points in front of her, toward nothing in particular.

[ Hyper Misao ] < ONWARD TO VICTORY! >

She rides off on the combat cycle, leaving Kat in the dust.

Referee - Paul Turner | Time Limit - 45:00

Jinny and Misao lock-up with Jinny immediately taking over with a knee lift.

[ Tony Schiavone ] Shotzi Blackheart versus Gionna Daddio is NEXT!

We head to the ring.

Referee - Bryce Remsburg | Time Limit - 45:00

Respect is shown right away as both competitors shake hands before the bell.

[ Tony Schiavone ] That's what this tournament should be about!

[ Trish Stratus ] I totally agree.

The match starts out with a clean and quick wrestling exhibition which sees Shotzi Blackheart take the advantage. She outwrestles Gionna for a long moment before Gionna finally takes over with a series of headlocks, leading to putting Shotzi on the defensive with a hip toss, arm drag, and body slam combination. Shotzi and Gionna stare each other down, nodding at one another with respect.

[ Tony Schiavone ] Leave it to Jinny to besmirch this tournament her with underhanded tactics all the way into the finals!

[ Trish Stratus ] Truly, there couldn't have been a more fitting winner. What a story! What a comeback!

Streamers fly into the ring and confetti rains down from the ceiling. Christina Von Eerie applauds from ringside before turning and leaving up the ramp. Aubrey Edwards helps Gionna to her feet and raises her hand in victory.

[ Tony Schiavone ] Well, folks. There you have it! The winner of the SHE-1 tournament is Gionna Daddio!

[ Trish Stratus ] Thanks to everyone for watching! Thank you all for making this possible!

[ Tony Schiavone ] We'll see you tomorrow in Saudi Arabia!
