The Battle of the Armbars

[Becky Lynch]

It was on the flagship show of the EBWF, Monday Night Warfare last week that the Man, the Lass Kicker, the Queen Slayer, the Cerebral Lassassin better known as Becky Lynch took on a second-generation wrestler in the form of Tessa Blanchard. Many thought that the Lass Kicker would walk away with the easy victory. Even Becky Lynch herself thought that her victory in this match was nothing more than forgone conclusion.

As the old proverb goes, “Pride goeth before a fall,” and Becky did fall. In an upset that was more shocking than Buster Douglas beating Mike Tyson, Tessa Blanchard managed to defeat Becky Lynch. Now, while Tessa has decided to be brash and outspoken, Becky has been quiet and withdrawn. The Lass Kicker has been plotting her next move, being willing to do anything she can in order to net herself the Women’s Championship.

However, that is later and the Queen Slayer has a tall order to fill this week on Monday Night Warfare. This Monday night on Warfare, it will be the Man, the Lass Kicker, the Queen Slayer, the Cerebral Lassassin also known as Becky Lynch taking on the pretender to the throne of Baddest Woman on the Planet, the woman whose ego is as fragile as her jaw, Ronda Rousey.

Now, it should come as no surprise to anyone in the EBWF Universe that the Lass Kicker has made it know that she wanted to get the woman that’s forever known as Holly Holm’s bitch in the middle of the ring for a match. With Ronda Rousey under contract to the EBWF, Becky Lynch is now afforded that chance.

With both women being known for their submission prowess, the question is proposed. Which submission will come out on top? Will it be the armbar that Ronda Rousey is well known for? Or will the Dis-Arm-Her of the Man topple the self-proclaimed “Baddest Woman on the Planet”?

Scene 1: Interview
Starring: Becky Lynch, Winter, and Renee Young
Camera Status: ON

The scene opens up with Renee Young standing in front of the camera crew. The camera is zoomed on her face. She welcomes the audience with a warm smile. After a few moments, she greets the viewing audience. “Ladies and Gentlemen…” Renee begins. “Please welcome my guests at this time, Winter and Becky Lynch!”

The camera zooms out to show the Satanic Diva also known as Winter standing next to Renee. Winter is clad in a pair of black jeans, a pair of black boots, and a Black Sabbath shirt. Standing next to Winter is none other than the Lass Kicker better known as Becky Lynch. Becky is clad in a black pair of shorts, a black pair of boots, a black tanktop with “THE MAN” stylized in big block letters on the front, and is covered up by a black hooded sweatshirt that depicts Becky holding up the severed head of Ronda Rousey.

While Winter comes off as being somewhat more engaging, Becky just looks at Renee with a cold glare as if the Lass Kicker is piercing through Renee. The look from Becky manages to unnerve Renee enough to cause her to momentarily lose her train of thought.

“Uh… Uh…” Renee lets out before shaking her head in order to regain her train of thought. “Last Monday night on Warfare, everyone saw Becky Lynch take on Tessa Blanchard in Tessa’s debut match with EBWF. While Becky Lynch was the solid favorite, Tessa managed to pull out the upset. Your thoughts?”

“Let me be the first to say this…” The Satanic Diva begins. “Last Monday night, Rebecca had Tessa Blanchard in her sights. She had the match in her grasp. However, she made one mistake - ONE MISTAKE - and it cost her dearly. The mistake cost Rebecca the match, and Tessa was smart enough to take advantage. In the end, Rebecca defeated herself. So yeah, the record state may state that Tessa Blanchard defeated Rebecca, but in actuality, it was Rebecca that defeated Rebecca, and that mistake is one that she will not make again. So, the next time that Tessa Blanchard steps into the ring with Rebecca, and it will happen, it will definitely be a different outcome.”

“I see…” Renee says, uncertain of what to make of the explanation made to her. “So, this week, Becky Lynch has a tall order to fill. She goes from facing Tessa Blanchard to facing Ronda Rousey. How does Becky feel heading into this match after her dust-up with Tessa last week? Has her confidence been shaken at all?”

The Satanic Diva shakes her head and a disdainful look adorns her face. “As I said, Rebecca will not be making the same mistake that she made last Monday night on Warfare. What you see is a Rebecca that will make no mistakes. What you see is a Rebecca that is focused. You see a Rebecca that is driven. You see a Rebecca that will not falter, that will not fail, and will not give up.”

“But…” Renee begins. “Ronda is well-known for making people give up. When she was undefeated in Mixed Martial Arts, nine of her twelve victories came from submission.”

This causes an eyebrow to shoot up on the face of the Satanic Diva. “And? Is that supposed to impress us? We are in a professional wrestling company. Why are we supposed to care about whether or not someone did MMA or was trained in it? Why are we supposed to care about whether or not Ronda Rousey was undefeated in a different sport that has nothing to do with ours?” Winter points toward the camera. “You. Cameraman. What do you think?”

Without skipping a beat, the cameraman replies. “If I wanted to watch MMA fighters, I’d watch MMA fights. I don’t want to watch MMA fights. I want to watch an orange-haired woman that calls herself the Lass Kicker, Queen Slayer, the Man, Cerebral Lassassin be the most entertaining and dynamic person to have ever happened to this company.”

Winter nods her head before turning her attention to Renee again. “There you have it. So, what bearing does this have on Rebecca’s match with Ronda Rousey? None. This is professional wrestling, a sport that can actually entertain people and give them their money’s worth. Tonight, people will definitely get more than their money’s worth when Rebecca makes Ronda tap out to the Dis-Arm-Her.”

“But seeing as you foolishly brought up Ronda’s record in MMA, do you know what happened when she faced Holly Holm, Renee?” Winter asks.

Renee nods her head in the affirmative. “Why, yes. Ronda’s undefeated streak came to an end at the hands - and feet - of Holly Holm.”

“So…” Winter begins. “She is officially known as Holly Holm’s bitch, and when she steps into that ring tonight, Ronda will be known in the professional wrestling world as Becky Lynch’s bitch!”

“Oh my…” Renee says, shocked at the brashness of Winter. “Anything else you want to say?”

“Yeah…” The Satanic Diva says. “Ronda Rousey… I know that you are watching this interview and I want you to understand this. You are in a professional wrestling company, and it’s a much different beast than MMA. You don’t get a half-year between fights and you certainly don’t get your success handed to you like you did in MMA. If you think, for one second, that you will be replicating your record here in the EBWF, then you are nothing more than - how Rebecca would put it - a gobshite. If you were fighting anyone else tonight, then you would definitely have a good chance of starting off with a winning record.”

“But…” Winter says as she slowly shakes her head. “You will not be fighting a tin can. You will be fighting someone that would put Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes to shame. If you thought that the beating that those two put on you was bad enough, then you have never faced someone like Rebecca. Tonight, when you enter that ring, it will not only be for the first time, but it will also be for the last time. Once Rebecca beats you, batters you, bludgeons you, and leaves you an even more pitiful husk than you already are, no one will ever see you again. I promise -- No -- I guarantee it!”
