TBS Championship
Mercedes Moné (c) vs. Alex Windsor vs. Persephone vs. Bozilla
After the pre-match video package airs to tell the story leading up to our next match of the evening, which is a multi-promotion four-way showdown for the TBS Championship. The package wraps up and we return inside the O2 Arena, where Tony Schiavone joins Excalibur and Riccaboni on commentary.
The theme for Alex Windsor hits and out comes the first of three challengers that will be vying for the TBS Championship currently held by "Nine Belts Moné", "The CEO" herself, Mercedes Moné. Out next is Bozilla. The commentators have been singing her praises all show long.
Persephone is the third and final challenger to make her ring entrance, before we get to the fourth and final ring walk, which is a very, very elaborate one for the reigning and defending champion. Mercedes Moné gets a big stage show.
We see several Buckingham Palace guards lining the aisle, with each holding one of her nine belts as she "CEO" dances her way to the ring. The crowd was strongly behind the three challengers as they came out, but by the time Moné's theme hit, it was clear who the crowd favorite was going to be in this one.
The final formal pre-match ring introductions are handled by the ring announcer, and then the bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running. Windsor, Bozilla and Persephone seem to want to get Moné out of the picture straight out of the gate, as they throw her out of the ring, before turning their attention to each other.
As they begin duking it out, Moné re-enters the picture and starts to shift the momentum in her favor. Bozilla begins to shine, all-the-while the crowd is getting more-and-more behind her. As things continue, we see Bozilla being a force to be reckoned with, as the rest struggle to deal with her size and strength.
If those attributes weren't enough, Bozilla added some aerial tactics to her arsenal, as she soars off the ropes with an enormous moonsault. Persephone ends up cutting her off the next time she tries going to the top, hoisting her up in the Razor's Edge position and launching her massive body across the ring.
As she was celebrating this and letting out primal war screams to the crowd, the reigning champ hits the ropes and blasts her with a Codebreaker. Windsor takes over from there, but seconds later, Mercedes hits her finisher and picks up the win out of nowhere to retain.
Winner and STILL TBS Champion: Mercedes Moné
