(fantasy) UWA Superbrawl, 4/23

[hobb...@yahoo.com]

From Buffalo:

The Founders (Triple H, Jack Hunter, & Stephanie McMahon) opened. They don't believe Sonya Deville should be challenging Bianca Belair for the Raw women's championship after she abused her position to gain the title match.

Deville came out with Mandy Rose, having mended their past issues. Rose is refusing to defend the NXT women's title vs. Dakota Kai, but is reminded she was DQ'd for interference on 4/12, forcing the rematch. If she refuses to compete, she will be stripped of the title, and join Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne on the suspended list. Deville stepped toward Stephanie, but Triple H defended his wife. Kai & Belair came down to make the save, and chased off Fire & Desire.

Stephanie then announced Deville will face Raquel Rodriguez, the Rose-Kai rematch is on, and Belair will face Tiffany Stratton.

1. Wendy Choo def. Marti Belle in 11:04 with a top rope corkscrew Vader Bomb.

2. Tomohiro Ishii def. Adam Cole in a return from Rampage in 17:40. Cole was, of course, DQ'd off-air for a low-blow on Friday, and ref Aubrey Edwards warned him that this time, a video review would net him another DQ if he did it again. Ishii hit two sliding lariats to secure the win.

3. Raquel Rodriguez def. Sonya Deville in 4:55 with the Chingona Bomb. Punishment for Deville's sins.

4. UWA World tag titles: The Street Profits def. Pretty Deadly in 18:40, handing the Brits their first loss since coming in. Montez Ford pinned Kit Wilson after the frog splash.

5. Bianca Belair def. Tiffany Stratton in 8:30 with the KOD.

Backstage, Stephanie wasn't happy with her husband defending her vs. Deville earlier, but, as HHH points out, it illustrated Deville's agenda.

6. AEW title: Adam Page def. Jake Hager in 11:10 with Deadeye.
7. NXT women's title: Dakota Kai def. Mandy Rose via DQ in 11:00 when Rose used the belt right in front of ref Jessica Carr.

After the match, the lights went out, and when they came back on, Dark Angel appeared, and Rose ran away. It was Kacy Catanzaro (Katana Chance) under the mask this time, but just as aggressive as Stephanie last week.

Sami Zayn is trying to weasel his way into the UWA title match, but Jack is having none of it. Zayn isn't a strategist, but a cowardly little weasel who is deathly afraid of Drew McIntyre. Jack puts him in a qualifying match for the Scott Hall memorial next week. Against Bobby Lashley. Sami is cringing.

8. #1 contender's match for the National title, winner faces Keith Lee in 2 weeks: Xyon Quinn def. Calvin Tankman in 17:40 with the jackhammer.

9. UWA World title: Drew McIntyre def. Keith Lee in 23:41 with Future Shock to retain. Zayn tried to interfere, and got tossed. Ricky Starks & Will Hobbs tried to attack Lee, but ref Aubrey Edwards caught them, and threw them out. Lee kicked out of the Claymore Kick, but McIntyre went to Future Shock, the double-arm DDT, to pick up the win. The two shook hands afterward.

Announced for Champions Challenge on 4/30:

Lee & Swerve Strickland vs. Hobbs & Starks.
Zayn vs. Lashley.
Alex Hammerstone defends the MLW title vs. Mads Kruegger.
Dark Angel returns to action vs. Mandy Rose in a non-title match.
The Mae Young Classic begins.
