“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for kindly welcoming me! It is an honor to be announcing this match and standing by to watch as these Young Lionesses put on their first show for America. As a trainer of the program, it means so much that they are given this chance and there is a special reward awaiting the winner at the end of the match. A personal match with me to see how much of their training is sinking in. It can be anytime, anywhere, any promotion, I just want to see the best that these students put each other through and a fair contest to see that they are worthy to uphold the legacy of professional wrestling. Without further ado, allow me to introduce the Young Lionesses competing in this battle royal!” Astrid explained as she turned to the entrance ramp.

(Astrid smiled at her students coming down the ramp either connecting with the fans and high-fiving the kids or they focused on the ring coming up the steel steps as Cecelia puts her headlines on the metal post while Sheila took her jacket off and Meiyun puts her fans outside as well tugging at her hair. Astrid would get out of the ring wishing everyone luck as Oscar Johnson and Victoria Ashlen would be the present officials.)
The bell rang as all the Lionesses converged in the middle with Nico going after Kaguya, Teuila hammering Rylie on the back, Sheila and Meiyun going after Eden, Cecelia stayed low, but kicked Star Power in the gut hitting axe handles to her back, and Jessie calculated the match from the lower right corner before Cecelia sent Star Power over the south top rope as the jobber’s feet hit the floor (Star Power eliminated). Jessie came behind Cecelia hitting her with a Snap German Suplex as Sheila hit a Jumping Roundhouse Kick on Eden getting the flirty wrestler on the west ropes. Meiyun ran hitting a Clothesline to Eden sending her over the top making both feet hit the floor quickly (Eden Oakley eliminated). Sheila then turned on Meiyun trying to get her over the top rope as Nico tried doing the same to Kaguya as the Japanese idol goes onto the north side apron ramming Nico in her gut through the ropes. Rylie used her bat to hit Teuila in the gut making the Samoan drop to her knees and she started using it to choke out Cecelia as the streamer rose to her feet. Rylie then used it to hit a Backstabber to Cecelia as the rookie streamer slipped under the bottom rope to the east side.
“Two eliminations so far as they were quick and precise. Nico is targeting the pop idol from Japan, Kaguya, and Sheila and Meiyun’s brief partnership ends with the Australian trying to get one over on her friend. Cecelia going under the bottom rope and she’s safe for now as she never went over the top rope,” Russ observed.
Kaguya hopped in and hit Nico with a Snap DDT getting the futbol star on her back before getting up to meet a Big Boot from Teuila. Sheila got Meiyun on the apron as Sheila tried kicking her off, but Rylie would hit a bat shot to back of Sheila. Sheila cried out in pain as Rylie bunted her bat on Sheila’s head. Sheila fell off to the side as Meiyun snuck in under Rylie’s
feet over the bottom rope before hitting chops to Rylie’s chest. Rylie sold them as Jessie ran for Rylie hitting a Dropkick rebounding Rylie off the ropes as Meiyun hit a Scoop Slam on the raccoon girl. However, Teuila hits Meiyun with a Samoan Drop making Meiyun roll away in pain as Astrid clapped for the students. Jessie punched Teuila in the head and tried eliminating her south, but Kaguya came by and helped the clockwork wrestler. Teuila hung on for dear life as Nico gets up running to hit Kaguya with a Dropkick surprising the idol getting her out of the match (Kaguya Hojo eliminated).
“Kaguya eliminated by Nico and that’s a little retribution for that DDT earlier!” Greg added.
Jessie tried eliminating Teuila, but Nico hit a Roundhouse Kick on the shy girl nearly sending her packing as she hung on for dear life. Sheila hit a Tiger Feint Kick to Jessie’s head as the blonde goes flying on her back outside (Jessie Alexander eliminated)! However, Sheila gets a Springboard Lariat by Nico making her fall on Teuila. Cecelia sneaks back in and sees Rylie as she glared at the raccoon girl wanting some revenge from earlier. She stomped down on the raccoon girl getting her up and lifting her up in a sitting position on her shoulders. However, Cecelia wants a little hunkered down by Rylie’s weight and staggered back as Rylie was placed on the top south rope. Nico took advantage grabbing Rylie’s bat and she hit Rylie in the stomach making the raccoon girl fall back over the top rope to the floor (“Rascal” Rylie Marshall eliminated). Cecelia tried coming at Nico, but suffered a Roundhouse Kick from a recovered Meiyun that sent the streamer onto the apron in a sitting position. Nico took a walk forward and turned around pushing Cecelia to the floor with her backside as the crowd laughed (Cecelia Hernandez eliminated).
“Meiyun and Nico with that teamwork getting out two serious threats in Rylie and Cecelia. Nico even did some ironic justice getting Rylie out with her own bat,” Russ remarked.
Sheila got on top of the lower left corner hitting a Diving Crossbody to both Nico and Meiyun as she held her stomach getting to her feet. Sheila gets Nico up climbing the middle rope of the upper right corner before diving onto Nico’s shoulders hitting her Bear Drop (Poisonrana) to the futbol star! Nico gets on her knees with her eyes crossed as Sheila sized her up hitting a Bicycle Knee Strike getting her on the north ropes. Sheila turned around into a gut-wrenching Spear from Teuila as the crowd cheered on the Samoan. Meiyun gets up hitting an Overhead Kick to Teuila knocking her on the east ropes. She then picked up Sheila whipping her into Teuila and then she grabbed Nico setting her on Shiela before running the west ropes to hit a Running Dropkick to all three girls on the ropes. They all screamed in pain as Nico stumbles out and Meiyun grabs her by the hair sending her over the south top rope with both feet hitting the floor (Nico Cardona eliminated).
“Meiyun doing some incredible crafty work there getting all three of her rivals up against the ropes and now Nico lost an opportunity with a match against Astrid,” Greg stated.
It was down to Meiyun, Teuila, and Sheila as the Australian got up and Teuila shot out to hit Meiyun with a Spear to the mat! Teuila wiped the hair out of her face getting the Japanese rookie up getting her into the lower left corner, but Sheila gets up hitting a Dropkick to Teuila making her collide with Meiyun in the corner. Sheila climbed the upper left corner and hyped the crowd up before hitting Teuila with her Death Adder (Diving Neckbreaker)! Sheila looked to have this one wrapped up as she grabbed Teuila trying to send her over the west top rope, but Teuila kept ahold of the middle rope keeping her in the game, but Sheila tried running the east ropes to finish Teuila off, but Teuila got up launching herself through the middle rope to hit Sheila with a Slingshot Spear! The crowd cheered loudly chanting “THAT WAS AWESOME! THAT WAS AWESOME! THAT WAS AWESOME!” Teuila and Sheila were out of it as Meiyun quickly came over grabbing Sheila before sending her friend over to the top rope to the outside (Sheila Chihara eliminated)!
“It’s down to Meiyun and Teuila as these two ladies have fought long and hard not just in this match, but during their training to consistently prove themselves as they push closer to graduation,” Greg stated.
Meiyun had the upper hand being fresher and less hurt as she got Teuila up whipping her in the upper left corner as Teuila grabbed the top ropes groaning. She rested against the pads as Meiyun ran hitting a Corner Clothesline to the Samoan girl. Teuila sat down in the corner trying to catch her breath, but Meiyun backed up jumping in place as she pointed towards Astrid saying, “I’m ready to face you, sensei!” before running to try for her Cannonball finisher and Meiyun connects it! Teuila crawls out of the corner slumping on her stomach before Meiyun got her up laying her on the south ropes. She runs the north ropes hoping to land a Clothesline, but just as she connected, Teuila dragged Meiyun over the top rope with her leaving both rookies to hit the floor at the same time! Teuila laid out with her hair a mess and Meiyun groaned landing on her side as the bell rang! Astrid ran around from ringside and checked on her trainees as she wasn’t sure who hit the floor first. She beckoned for a microphone and Victoria fetched her one as she took a deep breath.
“Ladies and gentlemen….it seems we have a tie! I’m not sure who hit the floor first, but what I do know is…both these women fought their hardest in this battle royal….and really, that’s all I want for my students to show. Their tenacity and their strength….that’s why….your winners are Teuila Masina and Meiyun Lai!” Astrid announced as she clapped for the two remaining ladies.
(Both Young Lionesses were tended to by the referees and helped up to their feet as both leaned on the barricade for support. Oscar raised both of their hands as it seemed both would get a shot at Astrid as they stared at each other.)
“You two really showed your creativity out there and proved that the squared circle is your domain for the many years to come for your careers. I can’t really ask you both to get back in there to see who deserves a match with me the most. I’ll take you both on either that is one on one or if we book it as a triple threat match,” Astrid explained as she heard the crowd cheer loudly at the possibilities.
“It seems Meiyun was able to secure herself a spot against her mentor and it will be interesting to see what she can display to Astrid with her own power moves. Teuila is also a student of Dana Ashford’s Shadow Fortress so Astrid will be seeing that training come full force in the near future when she meets the Samoan student in the ring,” Russ explained.
