Referee Atoye Bonds rushes down to the ring, sending Chen, Moore and Cobra to the back.
A.B.: Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to the Madhouse. If you missed it, Sarah Esposito just challenged the self-proclaimed Untouchable Shay Maharaj to a match.
Shamoon: Esposito is looking for payback after being knocked out with a lead pipe by Maharaj last week.
A.B.: Just received word from Producer Mike Miller that Nalah Shabani has sanctioned this match for right now.
Briar Lane: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: One fall!
Briar Lane: Introducing first, from Nueva Italia de Ruiz, Michoacán, Mexico, standing 6 foot 1 and weighing in at 230 pounds, The Rose of Ferocity, Sarah Esposito!
Esposito grabs the ropes pulls against them, almost like she's holding herself back.
Shamoon: If I ever find myself on this woman’s bad side, shoot me. It’ll probably be quicker and less painful.
Dominga: I don’t know, maybe Maharaj had a point. Maybe Esposito isn’t as advertised.
Briar Lane: And the opponent, from Kolkata, West Bengal, India, standing 5 foot 8 and weighing 160 pounds, The Untouchable Shay Maharaj!
A.B.: I hope she hasn’t written yet another cheque she can’t cash here tonight.
Dominga: They don’t call her untouchable for nothing.
A.B.: No one calls her that but her. What does that even mean, anyway? It can't be because of her wrestling.
Maharaj lies on top of the ropes, with her legs crossed.
The bell rings and she gets down from the ropes and they approach each other. They engage in a collar-and-elbow tie-up, with Esposito easily forcing Maharaj back into her corner and holding her there.
A.B.: Esposito with the clear power advantage.
Bonds orders Esposito to let go. She does and gets slapped in the face by her opponent.
Shamoon: A show of disrespect by Maharaj, both for the ref and her opponent.
Dominga: It’s called mind games, Shamoon.
Maharaj chuckles as the referee reprimands her. Esposito picks her up by the waist and drives her into the turnbuckle. She thrusts her shoulder into Maharaj’s stomach repeatedly. Once again the referee has to order her off.
A.B.: Esposito needs to be careful not to get disqualified here.
Bonds checks on Maharaj, allowing her to catch her breath. Esposito resumes her assault, forcing Maharaj to a standing position and laying into her with fierce punches, with the ref warning her to stop.
Dominga: Come on, rer! Get that maniac under control!
Esposito places a hand on Maharaj’s head and another under her arm, then proceeds to Biel Toss the "Untouchable" one halfway across the ring. Maharaj quickly attempts to crawl out of the ring, Esposito grabs her by the leg just as she gets a hand on the bottom rope. She lets go at the ref’s instruction and Maharaj drags herself out of the ring and falls to the floor.
A.B.: Do you still think she’s not as advertised?
Dominga: Okay, I might have jumped the gun a little.
A.B.: Just be glad that you're not the one getting tossed around like a sack of potatoes.
Maharaj crawls around on the floor, breathing heavily, while the ref starts the 10-count. She slowly gets to her feet as Esposito exits the ring on the left side and quickly comes around.
A.B.: Esposito with a wicked clothesline on the outside!
Shamoon: She almost took Maharaj’s head off, and she’s not done yet.
A.B.: Powerbomb on the apron!
Dominga: What the hell?! She could seriously injure Maharaj.
A.B.: I’d personally never wish that on anybody, but it might teach her to be wiser with her statements in future.
Dominga: She was just exercising her right to freedom of speech!
Shamoon: Well, Esposito is exercising her right to freedom of ass-kicking.
Esposito sends Maharaj into the ring and pins her for a 2-count. Esposito unloads with a series of vicious punches, then forearm strikes to the face. She gets off Maharaj at the ref’s orders. She then flips Maharaj onto her stomach, grabs her by the back of her shirt and trunks and picks her up like a heavy bag.
The crowd watches in anticipation and some chuckling is heard. Maharaj kicks, screams and waves her arms around like a child, while Esposito parades her around the ring. Esposito then proceeds to spin around with the smaller woman firmly in her grasp. The crowd bursts into laughter.
A.B. (Stifles chuckle): Now there’s something you don’t see every day.
Shamoon (Laughs out loud): This is great!
Dominga: Yeah, it's really funny. You guys and these fans disgust me! This is grade school bullying!
A.B. (still chuckling): And locking someone in a broom closet isn’t?
Dominga: That was Moore and she did it to Chen. There’s no justification for this.
Shamoon: Other than being hit in the head with a lead pipe.
Dominga: Then just beat her already! Prove you’re the superior fighter and move on!
A.B.: She’s been doing that the entire match. I think she wants to beat a little humility into the “Untouchable” Shay Maharaj.
Shamoon: I’m all for it.
Dominga: You guys are pigs.
Esposito tosses Maharaj shoulder-first into the ring post. She shakes her head to get rid of some slight dizziness from the spinning. The ref checks on Maharaj, who slumps to a sitting position while holding her shoulder. Her face is bruised, her left cheek is swollen and she has a black right eye.
Esposito walks over and grabs her by the hair, forcing her to her feet and then kneeing her in the stomach. With Maharaj hunched over in pain, Esposito locks her arms around her waist, flips her over in a gutwrench position.
A.B.: Esposito setting up the GutwrenchPowerbomb that has been her signature in PSW. She calls it the Zona M- What is Jesse Moore doing back here?
Moore climbs the apron and taunts Esposito. Bonds orders her off.
Shamoon: What are you doing, Sarah? Just end it already.
Queen Cobra crawls into the ring while Esposito and the ref are distracted. Chen crawls out from under the ring and pulls Moore’s feet out from under her to the delight of the crowd. Esposito sees Cobra, drops Maharaj and chases the snake out of the ring.
A.B.: Thank goodness.
Maharaj recovers quickly and gets to her feet, preparing to superkick Esposito when she turns around, but the kick is caught, so she goes for an enziguri, also caught and now she is on her stomach again.
A.B.: Ankle lock applied!
Maharaj screams in pain, that pain is amplified when Esposito’s legs wrap around her knee in a grapevine, making crawling away difficult or trying to stand impossible. Maharaj endures a full minute of her ankle being twisted while her knee is pressured, but refuses to tap out.
A.B.: How has she not tapped out yet?
Dominga: She’s more than just a pretty face, you know.
Maharaj grits her teeth, her pupils expanding as she begins to drag herself and Esposito to the bottom rope on the opposite side of the ring, where Moore and Chen are still brawling on the outside.
A.B.: What the- Where is she finding that much strength?!
Dominga: Told you!
Esposito applies even more pressure on Maharaj’s ankle, but she keeps going, using only her elbows. Maharaj grabs the bottom rope, forcing a break. Esposito lets go and backs away.
A.B.: Maharaj miraculously escapes the hold in a shocking display of strength.
Shamoon: But it took everything out of her.
Maharaj clutches her knee and her ankle, panting heavily. The ref comes to check on her and see if she wants to continue, but gets startled by Moore driving Chen back-first into the apron.
A.B.: Can someone please get security to clear ringside? Wait, now what is she doing?
Moore slides into the ring and continues taunting Esposito.
A.B.: Come on, Ref! Get her out or end the match.
Dominga: She hasn’t touched Sarah, so the match won’t end.
Esposito shoves Moore onto her butt, earning an earful from the Bonds.
Shamoon: Esposito is not having any of this.
Bonds (to Moore): Get out! Get out, right now!
Dominga: But Cobra’s back in the ring while the ref’s distracted.
A.B.: Sarah, watch out!
Cobra bites Esposito in the back of the leg, then quickly exits the ring before the referee sees her. Moore smiles and smirks before also leaving. Esposito stumbles back into the rope, rubbing her leg. Maharaj sees this and smiles while slowly rising to her feet.
A.B.: Not again, dammit!
Dominga: Hey, she knew Queen Cobra was still out there. She could’ve just beaten Maharaj and called it a night, but NO she had to full around and showboat. She’s got no one to blame but herself and now she’s easy pickings.
Esposito groggily approaches Maharaj, who sidesteps and goes behind her. Maharaj grabs Esposito's cherry red bouffant hair and pulls her into an inverted facelock then spins under the Mexican-Italian while holding the facelock, twisting her with Rolling Cutter.
A.B.: Maharaj with the Fairytale! There's the cover. There's the 3.
Brian Lane: Here is your winner, Shay Maharaj!
A.B.: I can’t believe that pulled that two weeks in a row.
Dominga: You can’t?
A.B.: Alright, I can. I’m just disappointed.
Dominga: Blame Esposito for being an idiot! She had Maharaj dead to rights and she f***ed up, after issuing the challenge in the first place. She wanted this match and now she’s on her back getting stomped on.
As Dominga says, the three heels are beating down on Esposito, who can barely grasp the situation she’s in.
A.B.: Come on, now. Esposito can’t even defend herself in this state.
Shamoon: And it’s three on one.
Dominga: No sympathy here.
With Sarah on her stomach, Queen Cobra places a foot under her chin and uses it to guide her to her feet. Cobra spins and kicks Esposito in the jaw, sending her into a discus forearm from Moore, which sends her into a hard slapp from Maharaj, which sends her into Queen Cobra's signature Spinning Reverse STO, the Hamadryad. The crowd voices their disapproval during this sequence.
A.B.: Enough already! She doesn’t even know where she is at this point.
Cobra, Moore and Maharaj stand tall over the fallen fighter. Maharaj bends over and blows Sarah a kiss.
Dominga: Maybe so, but she’ll definitely never forget this humiliating experience. I guarantee it.
