– Sophia Lopez pays off Tessa Blanchard to get Serpentine a title shot tonight.

– Lana Star announces that she will be in the tag team tournament, and will team with her new protégé, Faith The Lioness in a swerve. O’Neal is pissed and says that Star promised that it would be them teaming. Star tells her tough shit and says if O’Neal beats Faith, she can be her partner, if not, she’s out.

The Beverly Hills Babe Amber O’Neal vs. Faith The Lioness: Amber attacks and dominates right away. Faith quickly fires back but O’Neal starts attacking the knee, slamming it off of the apron and then the post. O’Neal continues to focus on the knee as they roll back in and O’Neal takes some time to dance. The figure four follows, but Faith rolls it and escapes. Faith fires back, lays in clotheslines but her knee gives out and O’Neal hits the x-factor. Lana distracts her and Faith then crucifixes O’Neal for the win.

This was a very good and competitive match with two women who can deliver and did. Tessa, with all due respect to the rest of the roster, comes off as the biggest star in the promotion with ease, and always delivers. Serpentine more than held up her part of the bargain and delivered well in the babyface role here, despite traditionally being a heel. Very good stuff here.
