But Brianna, ever the opportunist, jumped onto the ring apron, waving her arms wildly to grab the referee's attention. The distraction worked. The official turned to admonish Brianna, completely missing Nicole's frantic tapping on the mat. Natalya, realizing the referee wasn't paying attention, broke the hold and shouted at Brianna. Maryse joined in, the two women gesturing angrily toward the interfering twin.
The brief distraction was all Rebecca needed. Stirring on the outside, she spotted her opportunity. Rolling under the ropes, she snatched up a steel chair that had been discarded earlier.
With Natalya and Maryse still focused on Brianna, Rebecca struck, delivering a sickening chair shot to Natalya's back. Natalya crumpled to the mat as Maryse turned around, only to meet the same fate. The crowd's cheers turned to thunderous boos as Rebecca tossed the chair out of the ring with a sly grin.
The referee, oblivious to what had just transpired, turned back to the action as Rebecca sprang into motion. She grabbed the dazed Natalya, lifting her with ease and delivering her devastating finisher, the Hard Knox, a Leg Hook Sitout Suplex Slam.
Natalya hit the mat hard, barely moving. Without hesitation, Rebecca turned her attention to Maryse, who was struggling to her feet. In one fluid motion, Rebecca executed her signature Bexploder, an Exploder Suplex that sent Maryse crashing into the corner, leaving her incapacitated.
Rebecca, now in full control, helped Nicole to her feet. Nicole, clutching her ribs, nodded in appreciation before stepping over Natalya's motionless body. The crowd unleashed a chorus of boos as Nicole delivered her finishing move, the Bella Buster, planting Natalya's face into the mat with authority. Hooking the leg, Nicole made the cover.
1… 2… 3!
The referee's hand hit the mat for the final count, and the bell rang. The Amway Center erupted in boos as Nicole's music blared through the speakers. Nicole sat up, a smug smile on her face as the referee handed her the FCW Divas Championship.
Rebecca helped her to her feet, raising her hand high. Brianna slid into the ring, laughing and clapping as she joined the celebration. The trio stood tall in the center of the ring, soaking in the crowd's hostility.
Nicole hoisted the title above her head, unfazed by the jeers. Rebecca flexed her arms menacingly, while Brianna mockingly waved at the crowd, taunting them. The camera panned to Natalya and Maryse, both still motionless on the mat, before cutting to a close-up of Nicole's triumphant smirk.
As the show progressed, several matches and promos entertained the crowd, but the animosity from the Divas tag team match lingered in the air. The audience knew tensions were far from settled. The next scheduled match promised more drama, April, accompanied by her energetic and hug loving Davina, was set to face Brianna, who had Nicole and Rebecca in her corner.
The arena lights dimmed as April's music hit, and the crowd erupted in cheers. April walked out with Davina by her side, her determined expression matched by Davina's confident smirk. The two women high-fived fans on their way to the ring, their energy infectious. Once inside, April climbed the ropes, raising her arms as the crowd chanted her name.
The mood shifted as Brianna's music played. The boos were deafening as Brianna strutted onto the stage, flanked by Nicole who was holding her FCW Divas Championship and Rebecca.
The trio exuded arrogance, their matching black-and-gold gear glistening under the arena lights. Nicole held her championship aloft, smirking at the crowd, while Rebecca cracked her knuckles, her imposing presence impossible to ignore.
The tension in the air was palpable as the bell rang, signaling the start of the highly anticipated match between April and Brianna. The crowd's energy was electric, firmly behind April, whose underdog spirit had captured their hearts.
Across the ring, Brianna smirked confidently, reveling in the heat of the crowd's boos. Flanked by Nicole and Rebecca at ringside, Brianna exuded arrogance, her every move laced with mockery.
April, undeterred, immediately rushed forward, looking to take control early. She caught Brianna off guard with a series of rapid forearms to the chest, driving her into the ropes.
Brianna, stunned by April's aggression, attempted to counter with a wild swing, but April ducked and sprinted to the opposite ropes, rebounding with a flying crossbody that sent Brianna crashing to the mat. April hooked the leg for a quick cover, but Brianna kicked out at one.
The two women scrambled to their feet, and Brianna's frustration was evident as she lashed out with a stiff knee to April's midsection, doubling her over. Brianna took control, whipping April into the ropes and catching her on the rebound with a powerful clothesline that flipped April inside out.
The crowd groaned as April hit the mat hard, and Brianna wasted no time in stomping on her opponent, each blow delivered with malicious intent.
Brianna dragged April to her feet, taunting her before lifting her for a vertical suplex. Holding April in the air for several moments, Brianna showcased her strength before slamming her down with authority. She floated over into a cover, but April kicked out at two. Undeterred, Brianna transitioned into a chin lock, wrenching April's neck as she leaned back to apply more pressure.
The crowd began to clap rhythmically, rallying behind April. Drawing from the fans' support, April fought to her feet, elbowing Brianna's midsection repeatedly until the hold was broken. Freeing herself, April hit the ropes and came back with a dropkick that sent Brianna stumbling backward. Seizing the moment, April charged, leaping onto Brianna for a hurricanrana that sent her opponent sprawling across the ring.
Nicole and Rebecca shouted instructions from ringside, urging Brianna to recover. Sensing the urgency, Rebecca climbed onto the apron, attempting to distract the referee.
The crowd erupted in boos, but Davina was quick to act, pulling Rebecca down and engaging her in a heated brawl outside the ring. Nicole moved to intervene, but Davina whipped Rebecca into the barricade and turned her attention to Nicole, cutting her off before she could interfere further.
Back in the ring, April maintained her momentum, landing a series of quick kicks to Brianna's legs and midsection. She followed up with a running knee strike that sent Brianna into the corner. Wasting no time, April charged, delivering a high-impact dropkick to Brianna's chest. Brianna slumped against the turnbuckles, winded, as April climbed to the second rope, raining down punches to the delight of the crowd.
Brianna, however, managed to slip out, grabbing April's legs and yanking her off the ropes. April landed awkwardly, and Brianna capitalized, pulling her into the center of the ring for a spine-shattering backbreaker. The impact echoed through the arena, and Brianna smirked as she went for a cover. The referee counted:
One… Two… April kicked out, and the crowd erupted in cheers.
Frustrated, Brianna pulled April up and whipped her into the ropes. This time, April ducked under a clothesline attempt and countered with a tilt-a-whirl DDT that planted Brianna headfirst into the mat. Both women lay motionless for a moment, the crowd roaring in anticipation of who would rise first.
April crawled to the ropes, using them to pull herself up as Brianna struggled to her knees. April's fiery determination ignited once more as she launched herself at Brianna, landing a devastating shining wizard that flattened her opponent. Instead of going for a cover, April climbed to the top rope, looking to end the match decisively. The crowd stood on their feet, buzzing with excitement.
Before April could leap, Nicole jumped onto the apron, grabbing her foot to prevent the high-risk maneuver. The referee rushed over to admonish Nicole, but the distraction allowed Rebecca to slide into the ring. She charged at April, looking to knock her off the turnbuckle, but Davina slid in just in time, spearing Rebecca to the mat. The crowd went wild as Davina unloaded a flurry of punches on Rebecca, finally tossing her out of the ring.
Nicole attempted to intervene again, but Davina met her with a spinning kick, sending the Divas Champion tumbling off the apron. With Nicole and Rebecca neutralized, Davina turned to April, shouting words of encouragement as the crowd's energy reached a fever pitch.
April refocused on Brianna, who was still dazed in the center of the ring. Leaping from the top rope, April delivered a picture-perfect diving crossbody, flattening Brianna once more. Instead of going for the pin, April wasted no time in transitioning into her submission finisher, the Black Widow. Wrapping her limbs around Brianna's body, April wrenched back with all her strength, locking in the painful submission hold.
Brianna's screams echoed through the arena as she flailed desperately, trying to break free. The crowd chanted April's name, their voices deafening as they urged her to hold on. Brianna clawed at April's arms, and then attempted to walk toward the ropes, but April adjusted her grip, applying even more pressure. Brianna's movements grew weaker as the pain overwhelmed her.
With Nicole and Rebecca still incapacitated at ringside and Davina standing guard, there was no one left to save Brianna. The referee dropped to his knees, asking Brianna if she wanted to quit. Unable to withstand the agony any longer, Brianna tapped out, her hand slapping the air repeatedly.
The bell rang, and the crowd exploded in cheers as April released the hold, collapsing to the mat in exhaustion. The referee raised her hand in victory as Davina slid into the ring, wrapping April in a tight hug. The two women celebrated together, their bond and teamwork overcoming the odds stacked against them.
Nicole and Rebecca regrouped on the outside, glaring at April and Davina with a mixture of anger and disbelief. Clutching her title, Nicole pointed threateningly at April, mouthing words of warning as the victors continued to celebrate in the ring.
The crowd's cheers grew louder, fully behind April and Davina as they stood tall, defying the dominant trio's attempts to control the division.
The stage was set for future battles, but tonight belonged to April and Davina. As the camera focused on April's determined expression, it was clear that her victory was not just a moment of triumph but also brought her confidence back.
After the intense conclusion of the match between April and Brianna, the energy in the Amway Center was electric. The crowd was still buzzing from April's hard-fought victory, chanting her name as she and Davina exited up the ramp.
The show seamlessly transitioned into a commercial break for television viewers, but inside the arena, the focus shifted to an entirely different spectacle.
As the break commenced, the lights dimmed, and the arena crew sprang into action. Fans in attendance were treated to an exciting behind-the-scenes transformation as the double ring setup for War Games began.
The steel cage, towering and menacing, was carefully lowered from the ceiling, its chain-link walls glinting under the arena lights. On the ramp, two smaller holding cages were wheeled into place, positioned strategically for each team to enter and await their turns to join the fray.
The anticipation was palpable. Fans erupted into cheers, understanding that the iconic War Games match was the night's main event. With adrenaline still coursing through them from the evening's matches, they eagerly speculated on the chaos and drama that lay ahead.
Backstage in the Gorilla position, Stu, Drew, Creed, Joe, and Nick were huddled together, going over their strategy one final time. Each man wore an expression of steely determination, their focus laser-sharp.
The Empire's team had gained the advantage for the match, which meant they would have the upper hand early on. Adjustments to the game plan had been made, but the team's cohesion was unshaken.
Meanwhile, Sandro and his team, Kofi, Taylor, Sheamus, and Moxley, were stationed near the entrance area, ready for action. They would be the first team to send a member into the cage, a fact that had thrown a minor wrench into their plans. But the group's adaptability and camaraderie ensured the adjustment was seamless.
