Phoenix Rising: Grand Ascension VI Finals Night Results

Allison Avery has slipped a little bit as of late, and she'll be looking to bounce back against Queen Anne herself. This match was originally planned to be with Eternamente Verde, but with Evergreen's show on Thursday, it was decided that they should probably take the week off from Phoenix Rising business... and the Heywards eagerly filled the empty spots, prepared to step up. Listalva in particular seems more than ready to get back to her old self, and a win over Allison would do a lot for that.

That said, Kevin Royce is the exception to the rule. He's opted not to take this show off, even after a wild brawl with Kantar on Thursday, and will take on Todd Colton as originally scheduled... but with Todd's stock steadily rising, win or lose, does the owner of Evergreen have what it takes to bring down the loudmouth?

Jessika Boom made her big debut last Proving Ground in a losing effort to Amber Wright, but looked good in the process, showing that she's got a lot of potential in the future. This week, she takes on another rookie in Emma Travers, who's been seemingly changing her gameplan as of late... it'll be interesting to see which rookie stands tall after this one.

Opening the main card, the Limbtakers get a shot at the tag team champions, with Pure Gold coming off of a rare loss... albeit to Showdown's undefeated tag champions, Rilantha and Firehawk. Candace and RNA, meanwhile, have never looked stronger than they did last show, and could finally have a shot at knocking Pure Gold off their pedestal...

Elly Blackwood was a woman on a mission last show, as she absolutely dismantled Todd Colton. Now she's taking on her Team Proving Ground teammate, Kyle Anderson, in what's sure to be a wild fight to the finish... does Kyle have what it takes to bring down the Invincible Elly, or will he find his arms hanging like limp noodles before the night is done?

A surprise on this week's card... another debut, this time for German-Canadian Christina Wagner. She's been described as a powerhouse wrapped up in a surprisingly small package... but she's set to take on Anna Bryant. Anna's been maybe one of the most consistent rookies in Phoenix Rising, but it's likely she'll have a tall order, taking on Christina here.

The Excellent Blades face a tough challenge this week, as Victor and Kellaron return home after a disappointing venture into PWR. The Blades will have to step up in a big way here, after their defeat against the Limbtakers, but with the two young rising stars still getting used to being a team, it could be the opening that the Blades need to pick up a much-needed win.

Anari Lynn Heyward has been a force every time she's stepped into a Proving Ground ring. There can't be any doubt about that. Vivian Forester, meanwhile, has been a surprisingly solid one herself, scoring a few surprising wins over tough competition. It's hard to tell how this one might go... but it'll certainly be a wild one to the finish.

Mascara Avispa continues to try and make his way back to the top of the card, but this week, he'll have to go through the dangerous Hugo Dirksen, who made his debut beyond impressive by wiping out Kevin Royce. Avispa will have to be wary of the Dutch suplex specialist... because this match could easily end in the same high-risk way as the last.

Cassie Rose, still under fire for rumors she insists aren't true, will have to do her best to ignore them this week. Layla Al-Amin seems primed to take her place at the top of the card, and the Egyptian hasn't been idle in recent weeks: absolutely ripping through Allison Avery last time out, she'll look to do the same to Cassie and claim the Inspire Championship for her own.

Silver Hawk makes his first defense of the Top Prospect Championship, and faces maybe the toughest test yet, taking on Rey de la Carne, who's already beaten him once. Silver Hawk, just days after his meeting with Blake Dynamite in ZIP Japan, will need to be at the top of his game... as he's facing maybe the toughest week of his career.

In a surprising move, Natasha Clover's first match back from her suspension will be on the main roster: Phoenix Rising has decided that over the next few episodes of Showdown, stars from Proving Ground will be given opportunities to prove themselves, and management will be watching to see if they're ready to move up. Strangely, Natasha is the first to be given this chance, and she'll be taking on Angel Leblanc, looking to knock off the Frenchwoman... but how long will her teammates sit by and watch Angel struggle on her own?

Kantar was successful in Evergreen last Thursday, though he now returns to Showdown to face perhaps one of the toughest tests of his short time as a member of Phoenix Rising. Lance Marshall is looking to bounce back from a rough patch, and he'll certainly bring everything he's got to bear against the hardcore demon.

Eri and Shiana haven't fared well as of late. It's been a struggle for both women, and to regain some semblance of focus, they'll square off against each other for the first time in months. Last time this occurred, it was only the second show in Phoenix Rising's history... that's right, it's been over a YEAR since mother and daughter faced one another (unless I'm very much forgetting something in that timespan!) and Eri fell short in that challenge, so long ago. A lot has changed since then: can the Little Phoenix finally pull off the win she's looking for this time?

Rachel White stepped up in a big way last week, tearing Angel Leblanc apart in surprisingly vicious fashion. Now she turns her attention to Besos... will we see more of the same mean streak Rachel displayed before, or will it be a return to her previous losing ways?

A familiar matchup, to be sure: Blake Dynamite set to take on the Phantom Thief, who hasn't been seen much as of late. There's a few rumors circulating about where he's been, but he won't confirm any of them... for the time being, all we know is that he's back to take on his old rival, and we'll soon find out how he handles the newly promoted Blake.

Sophia Moretti hasn't had the best stretch, losing in the qualifier for the upcoming Queen of Roses tournament to the eventual winner, Fenix Oscuro. This week, she'll be trying to figure out how to get back on track and take down the wild Mercy Devine, who is riding high after defeating her hated rival on last week's Evergreen show.

Urani Whitemist seems determined to bring down every single threat in her way: and the giant, Binak Tonorian, seems to qualify as that as well. It's the Titan and the Giant this week, a match that's certain to shake the foundations of Phoenix Rising, no matter who comes out on top.

Taking a break from tag action this week, Rilantha De Nav and Firehawk Sentarl each take on a half of the challengers for their tag team championship. Ril, of course, takes on Winifred, in a meeting of the veterans that has already happened in the Queen of Roses qualifier: Winifred won that meeting and eventually made it to the semifinal before losing to Veronika Armstrong. Meanwhile, Firehawk and Kileas meet once again, writing yet another chapter in their seemingly-eternal rivalry.

Three women meet to determine who will be the first challenger for Xiu Mei Li, who won the Women's Championship in impressive fashion last week. Fenix Oscuro has been nothing short of dominant in nearly every match she's been in as of late, with only one blemish on her singles record: Kaelara Sentarl. Kae, for her part, has been on an absolutely magnificent run as well, maybe the single most dangerous woman in the entire division at this point... but she's fallen short of her goal of winning the championship more than once so far. Finally, Anahera continues to be a force no matter where she goes, and she'll look to renew her dominant image here... and set herself up with her tag team partner, to fight over a prize that the Maori Warrior has coveted for some time, now.

Telan Kintelas has slowly undergone a major change these past few weeks... he's gotten bigger, he's gotten louder, and he's definitely gotten stronger. But all of this may not be enough for the challenge he's issued to the Demon... does he really have what it takes to bring down Tasharun? And if so, could Telan Kintelas be the man that challenges the Black Dragon at the final show of 2018?
