Something is definitely not right in Blake's head right now... he'd better figure it out soon, as his title defense against Silver Hawk is just one week away! Victor had full control of this one, and he may need the momentum as he faces Kellaron Sentarl next week for the right to stay in Pure Gold...


Controlled chaos as most 8-person battle royals tend to be. In a stunning twist of fate, Vivian Forester made it all the way to the final two, and wasn't idle throughout, looking like an absolute wrecking ball late... at least until she was alone in the ring with Cassie Rose, who quickly snapped up the masked star and planted her with her own variation of her brother's Demonkiller. Cassie Rose will face Rin Ryusaki next week for the Inspire Championship... her new look and new attitude already paying off big for her.


A remarkable upset, or simply the superior team reclaiming their place? Les Beautes Blondes announced their return in a big way, taking down Kileas and Winifred in a hard-fought battle, and now they'll get another shot at tag gold in Phoenix Rising... but the team of Firehawk and Ril, and their undefeated record, looms large in the distance.


Rachel came out of the gate hot, but couldn't keep that momentum up, as Mercy's dirty tactics slowly wore her down. Raking and poking the eyes, going for the groin, there was nothing Mercy wouldn't do... including grabbing a fork and stabbing Rachel until she was bloodied, followed shortly thereafter with a vicious Dragon Sleeper that appeared to render Rachel unconscious. Rachel remains winless on Showdown, and will have some time to recuperate after this brutal matchup.


Xiu Mei seemed confident coming into this one, and seemed to control much of the matchup... but Sophia simply wouldn't give in, getting her licks in where she could. Just as Xiu seemed to have it all wrapped up, though, Sophia sprang to life one final time, rolling the Chinese fighter up for a surprise upset victory, a much-needed win for Sophia.


A stunning show of resilience by Angel, who fought through everything Haruka threw her way. The former partners showed no mercy towards each other, Haruka trying to choke Angel out with the King Cobra Hold, but Angel refused to die... and after fighting her way through it all, locked Haruka in a single Figure Eight, and came away with a big victory. But her night wasn't over yet.

Angel would then grab a microphone as Haruka limped to the back, once again insulting Shiana Sentarl live on-camera, almost DARING her to come to the ring and silence her. And after needling the Queen by calling her a coward... there she was.


Shiana made her way to the ring, and the brawl was on... the two trading blows, Shiana more than willing to close in on the Frenchwoman and land strikes. But the moment she managed to get Angel on the mat for any length of time...


The Romero came out, and on a weakened Angel, it seemed like Shiana had the upper hand. Shiana seemed poised to take full control of the brawl... and then, Angel reminded everyone just how she operates.


As officials ran down to try and break up the fight, Angel turned the tables on Shiana, and began to choke the returning Queen, a struggle that wasn't broken up until multiple officials pulled Angel away, leaving Shiana gasping for breath... but as Angel was pulled up the ramp, shouting French curses, Shiana rose to her feet with a steely glare. This isn't over... and with Angel demanding a match, it'll happen at Showdown #20.


A rough night for Rilantha here, unable to get out of the gates as Telan ran roughshod, overpowering the veteran and perhaps reminding her why she's stuck to tag matches as of late. A Judgment to the outside seemed to leave Ril badly rattled, as she slammed into the turnbuckle shortly after returning to the ring, allowing Telan to set up the winning dive. For fear Ril may be injured, she's being looked at by medics, though so far it seems as though she's suffered nothing serious.


An absolute war from start to finish, showcasing everyone's raw power... but Lance won the day this time, once again bringing down the Demon, this time with the Cloverleaf. Time will tell if he can repeat this feat at Showdown #20, however... he'll have no backup, just himself against Tasharun.


Kaelara Sentarl seems absolutely determined to recapture the spark she held months ago, when she became AAW Heavyweight Champion and was making waves in Phoenix Rising. She'll have a chance, now, to climb back to the top... albeit, she'll be challenging for the Phoenix Rising Women's Championship instead. She handled a very cocky Laenara here, who took a few cheap shots at her rival, and rather than finish Kae off, continued the punishment... only to eat a Rainbow Bridge, using Hana Brightly's famous move to send her to the match against Alex!


Anahera's dream of becoming the World Champion may have faltered here. Dragon absolutely refused to die, no matter what Anahera threw at her. She even endured the devastating Katahajime that so many others had submitted to... and Dragon, not one for subtlety, wrenched Anahera back in her own facelock submission, forcing Anahera to admit defeat. Dragon now goes on to face Urani one more time... this time with the World Championship on the line.


In the first official meeting of Eri and Oscuro, Eri scored first blood... well, with a lot of help from Besos. It was Besos that seemed to manage much of the late-match damage, sending Hypnosia for a loop not once, but TWICE with nothing but pure Besos. And just when everything looked its worst, Besos fought back and grabbed OSCURO for a kiss as well! Oscuro, perhaps out of pure shock, tapped out without thinking... clearly, Oscuro's never faced anyone like Besos, and it cost her the match, suffering a humiliating defeat to Eri, and only adding fuel to the fire for their upcoming singles match at Showdown #20...

"You've made the worst mistake of your career, Shiana! You could have retired and saved yourself all the trouble, all the pain, and only go down in history as a coward... now you'll end your career in disgrace when I destroy you, when I ruin you, when I FORCE you to retire once and for all! I'll END this, Shiana, for everything you've done to me, all the humiliation, all the frustration... you'll pay for every slight against me."

"It's been a while since I've felt this way. Eager to get into the ring again, eager to challenge for a major prize. Two weeks from now, I'm stepping in against Alexandria Kirison... one of the toughest women ever to step into Phoenix Rising. The Women's Champion. The woman that ended my mother's reign and nearly made her quit altogether. She'll be watching, Alex, she'll be watching me take you on, and I'm going to make her proud, the same night she knocks Angel senseless. I'm going to leave Showdown #20 as Women's Champion. I'll stand at the top of the world. I'm not gonna back down for anything."

"Don't matter whether I got backup in two weeks or not. You ain't got any either. Just you and me, nothin' between us. No one to stand in the way. If it were anyone else standin' on the other side of that ring, I'd say we'd tear the damn house down, put on the best damn match of the night. But all I want is t' kick yer ass, Tasharun. And remind ya' why I throw the Demonkiller. Remind ya' who's always had yer number. I'll be waitin', Demon. This time, let's see if it sticks."

Gary Gear: We go again! We go again! Time to get a win! We go again! Yeah!

Adonis Avery Alexander: You nincompoop, would you keep it down over there? You don't need to shout some inane babble every single time you complete a clean.

Gear: You don't get it! We got a big time chance to step up here! I got a badass hardcore opponent in Royce, he's a perfect challenge, I win this, we move up! And you...wait, man, you're wrestling Elly again, you're gonna lose, ain't you?

AAA: Absurd. I will not lose this match. That's bullshit. I will not. Oh, hey, Gary. Didn't you lose about your last five singles matches?

Gear: Just wait, I'm gettin' bigger and stronger and more ripped and more juiced! It'll be a new Gary out there, Gary Gear 3.0!

AAA: And what exactly was 2.0? I see absolutely zero improvement in you from when you showed up in the Office.

Gear: Aw, come on, you don't think we racked up some wins with the Machines? Anyway, new Gary, big upgrade, get locked and loaded, yeah!

Ruthless Nicole Alger: So we're back at this again, Candace. Last time we did this, I got you with the Ruthless Armripper, and we got a team. Far as I'm concerned, that was a win/win. At least for me, it was. I know you want to try to get a win back. But you know me. You know I'm not gonna make that easy. The thing people don't understand about us, unless they know is, is that we're friends, and we're rivals. Both, not one or the other. And we're friends because we're rivals. Because we're on the same wavelength. I want to be the best, you want to be the best. We both take pride in our style. We both take pride in our mentors, our lineage. I got my dad, you got Alex. We're able to shoot, we're able to wrestle, we like ripping limbs off. And I want to be better than you, you want to be better than me. We're cool with that.

RNA: Iron sharpens iron and all that, and only way that works is if the iron strikes the other iron. So we might look like we hate each other when we face off. But you know, and they should know, that we're taking each other to the brink and taking limbs, not out of hate, but out of that next level respect. So Candace, wanna get better? Come get some.

A solid showcase for the Korean rookie, picking up her first win in Phoenix Rising against a tough foe in Donna Nobel. This one was tough and easily could've swung either way.


Good old-fashioned hoss-off. Kevin Royce came out of the gate strong, intent on putting Gear away quickly, but the roided-up monster wouldn't stay down, and steadily fought his way back into the match, planting Royce with back-to-back bombs and taking the match... albeit, not without HEAVY interference from AAA.


A solid debut for the young rookie, but Katherine White couldn't keep pace with Anna Bryant, despite landing many of her signature spots. It's going to take more than fancy moves for Katherine to find a foothold on Proving Ground... but she certainly seems eager to keep at it.


A wild match, back-and-forth that seemed to have everything riding on it. Victor was the more determined of the two tonight, however, and broke out Patricide for the first time in a while... and finally put Kellaron away with it. Still... does it really end here?


A match COMPLETELY shit on by the in-game ratings and basically telling me that they are utterly worthless in every way. This one was intense, the partners trying to outdo each other with their signature offense, but it was Candace that'd finally walk away with the win after a sharp flying kick, evening the score between the friendly rivals.


Kyle Anderson is back to his winning ways, taking out Todd Colton in a hard-fought match that was one of the highlights of the show. He'll be looking to keep that momentum going, for once... with a guest appearance in PEWA coming soon, he'll need it.


A remarkably impressive showing from Nicole Blade, who brought Veronika down to earth after a huge debut. Nicole wasn't about to back down, and put Veronika through her paces, finally laying the Oakland native out with the Blade's Edge, and reminding her that her claim as the strongest woman on Proving Ground wasn't just bluffing.


AAA gave this one his all, looking to avenge the defeat to Elly all those months ago... but even with Gary Gear trying to help (in his own, often misguided way), Elly finally came out ahead... a Pinnacle Dropkick led to AAA trying to cover, only for Elly to easily get a foot on the ropes, before coming right back with a Brainbuster to finish the job, and giving Elly another impressive victory.


The tag match was the shortest of the night, but had quite the interesting story behind it regardless. Kanjirin absolutely obliterated the Phantom Thief with a Jackhammer (leading to only a minor concussion, luckily...), but in the meantime, Mallory Spaulding couldn't find her gear to match her partner! Forced to use some backup gear, it's not entirely clear yet what exactly happened there... but the champions retained, in dominant (albeit lucky) fashion.


Nothing short of pure dominance from the new and improved Cassie Rose. It's tough to call her Lance's little sister anymore... she's come into her own, and claims the Inspire Championship in a wildly impressive showing that leaves Rin back on the outside looking in.


The longest championship reign in Phoenix Rising finally comes to an end. Silver Hawk repeated his incredible performance from a few weeks ago, and claimed the Top Prospect Championship, finally dethroning Blake Dynamite, and thus becoming only the second person ever to hold the title. What's next for Blake? Likely a spot on the main roster full-time...

"Told you I'd even the score sooner or later, Nicole. Gotta admit that feels pretty good... but now we've got that out of our systems again, it's time to get back to what we do best, as the Limbtakers. I'm lookin' forward to teamin' back up again soon."

Kellaron's leaning on an empty locker, looking down at the floor. "So, that's it, huh? The group I brought together, seized by a power-hungry bitch who thinks she knows better than everyone around her. Thinks she can call the shots. Thinks she can push us around. Yeah, that's right, US." Kellaron pushes off from the locker... the camera zooms out to reveal Victor Kintelas nearby. "The hell did you think this was going to accomplish, Mallory... that we'd be so desperate to keep following you around like Kanjirin does? Tagging along behind the great Madame Spaulding like lovesick puppies? You've been trying to screw us over from day one, and this is an opportunity... not for you, but for us."

Victor steps forward, Kellaron backing off. "You tried to play us against each other. Tried to galvanize yourselves as a trio, and instead, you've left yourself with only your boy-toy at your side. You never try to play a Kintelas, Mallory... my family WROTE THE DAMN BOOK on manipulation around here! My father is a MASTER of playing every angle of a situation, and you think I couldn't see right through you? The only thing that's going to happen from this is you losing both of us... thanks to your greed, to your lust for power, to your absolute devotion to getting as many people following you as possible. I don't follow, Mallory..."

"Fact is, you tried to make us look like idiots." Kellaron has a smirk on his face. "The only one looking like an idiot tonight is you... what did happen to your gear, anyway? Hell if I know, really. I sure as hell don't know anything about it, but you sure stood out tonight, huh?"

"Couldn't tell you what might've happened there." Victor shrugged. "But the fact is... you don't get what you want out of this. You don't get to keep one of us for yourself. All you've done is made two enemies you DON'T want against you. You've been warned."
