August 27th, 2014 | Episode 005 | "Start: Phase Two"
1) RUBY RIOTT DEF. KAIRI SANE via the Riott Kick. The most competitive match thus far in the Queen of the Ring tournament as both Ruby and Kairi believed that they had sealed the victory at different points. With a split Full Sail crowd watching, Kairi took the sky for the Insane Elbow Drop, only for Ruby to get her knees up. Kairi held her elbow in agony as Ruby set her up for the Riott Kick, catching her on the top of her head to finally score the pinfall. Ruby and Kairi showed respect for one another post-match, but this match marks the end of the road for 'The Pirate Princess.' Ruby becomes the first of four women to solidify her spot in the semi-finals in two weeks during the Queen of the Ring finale live on the WWE Network.
NEXT WEEK: The final two spots in the semi-finals will be decided when Santana Garrett meets the captain of Team Kick, Dakota Kai. And in the main event, Candice LeRae looks to repeat the success that her husband Johnny Gargano found in the Cruiserweight Classic as she battles Charlotte Flair.
2) ASUKA DEF. NIA JAX with a Roundhouse Kick. Nia managed to use her strength to overpower Asuka for much of the match, but 'The Empress of Tomorrow' kept her grounded with deadly strikes and kicks. When Nia lifted Asuka with on overhead press, Asuka was able to counter it into the Asuka Lock! Asuka used the hold to bring Nia down to her knees before kicking her in the back of the head! Asuka followed up with a second kick to Nia's face, which still wasn't enough to put her away. Finally, Asuka finished the sequence with one final Roundhouse Kick, this time pinning Nia. Asuka celebrated her victory as the updated bracket revealed one of the semi-final matches taking place in two weeks at the CFE Arena.

"Shepherd of Fire" by Avenged Sevenfold
Let's take a moment and break the ice
So my intentions are known
See I have pity in watching you suffer
I know the feeling of being damned alone
I've got a storybook of my own
Don't you see I am your pride
Agent of wealth
Bearer of needs?
(And you know it's right)
I am your war
Arming the strong
Aiding the weak
Know me by name
Shepherd of fire
Well I can promise you paradise
No need to serve on your knees
And when you're lost in the darkest of hours
Take a moment and tell me who you see
Won't tell you who not to be
Now you know I am your pride
Agent of wealth
Bearer of needs
(And you know it's right)
I am your war
Arming the strong
Aiding the weak
Know me by name
Shepherd of fire
Disciple of the cross and champion in suffering
Immerse yourself into the kingdom of redemption
Harden your mind through the chains of the divine
Make way the shepherd of fire
Through the ages of time
I've been known for my hate
But I'm a dealer of simple choices
For me it's never too late
I am your pride
Agent of wealth
Bearer of needs
(And you know it's right)
I am your war
Arming the strong
Aiding the weak
I am your wrath
I am your guilt
I am your lust
(And you know it's right)
I am your law
I am your star
I am your trust
Thursday August 28th, 2014
New York City, New York/Ontario, California
Almost two weeks into her stay at the hospital following an attack, Paige was nearing the end of her time bound to a bed. The WWE Champion was informed that by Saturday, she'd be discharged, but not yet medically cleared for action. This frustrated Paige greatly since all she wanted to do was get back into a WWE ring. Prior to SummerSlam, she didn't know where her career - or life for that matter- was heading. She had the most private details of her past life invaded by AJ Lee, who revealed to the world that Paige was raped as a teenager and had the resulting pregnancy aborted. For the most part, it didn't affect how people viewed her, but she could see on Twitter and Instagram some comments from the Pro-Life audience about how she should be ashamed to be, "encouraging young females to commit the same actions" or some craplike that.
Being away form the ring made her realize that right now, it's the place she needs to be the most. Wrestling is Paige's escape from reality. It's the only environment she's ever felt comfortable in. She wants nothing more than to get back to SmackDown Live... and find out who attacked her so she can extract revenge against the assailants herself.
While Paige was bedridden, The Iconic Duo were constantly at her side. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce made sure to check on her constantly, both in person and via text and FaceTime. This gesture made Paige believe that Peyton didn't know about her and Billie's kiss prior to SummerSlam, which in turn made her think Kevin Condron was even more insane for thinking that The Iconic Duo could have attacked her.
In the afternoon of Thursday, August 28th, Billie and Peyton opted to visit Paige at the hospital in New York instead of going to SmackDown Live in Ontario, California. The two had already done a pre-tape to give their thoughts on the Triangle Ladder match for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships at Unforgiven. With that video making airwaves tonight, they were cleared by management to be at Paige's side.
At the same time that Billie and Peyton arrived at the hospital, Paige noticed WWE's official Twitter account promoting yet another press conference from Catch Point. None of the three bothered watching the last one, but out of curiosity regarding what the group would have to say about their attack at the end of SmackDown last week against Billie, Peyton, Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn, they decided to tune in this time.
Paige pulled up the WWE Network live feed on her phone, the screen showing TJ Perkins and Taynara Conti sitting at a table without any of the other Catch Point members.
TJP: "Thank you all for joining us today. As you can see, Catch Point is not in full effect for this press conference. Chad Gable and Jason Jordan are preparing to face Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn in a non-title match tonight. Allie is... I don't know. Same story with CM Punk, but don't get any of that twisted. Catch Point is still very much on the same page. We are a cohesive unit. We are the most dominant faction in all of WWE. We all just have our own endeavors. That's all. I'll go ahead and open up the floor for some questions."
Reporter 1: "It was never explained what this press conference is actually for. Can you shed any light on that?"
TJP: "This press conference is to allow all of Catch Point's naysayers to see for themselves that no matter what, we haven't lost focus of our mission statement to make SmackDown Live ours."
Reporter 2: "Can you comment on the upcoming Triangle Ladder match at Unforgiven? Have you and CM Punk taken the time to discuss any strategy?"
TJP: "As far as my thoughts on the match are, there's a pre-tape that will air tonight on SmackDown Live where I answer that question. And no, CM Punk and I have not discussed any strategy. We don't need to because as soon as we step into the ring, the team that opposes us is in great danger."
Billie and Peyton both glared at each other in confusion since the last time TJP and Punk teamed up, they beat them.
Reporter 3: "Have there been any discussions about adding any additional members to Catch Point?"
TJP: "... When I was asked that question a few months ago, I said that there was no need for any new members. But... I'd be lying if I said it wasn't something the group and I have discussed recently. We have our eyes on a few superstars, and I think sooner than later, there will be some sort of announc-"
Becky: "Hey, I have a question."
TJP and Taynara both turned to the side of the stage as SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch was standing there, holding a microphone that she took from the press conference table.
TJP: "What do you want?"
Becky: "Where's Allie?"
TJP: "You know, if you had just watched the start of this press conference, you would've heard me say that I don't know where Allie is."
Becky: " So, it's like that? Allie tries to set me on fire last week, and now, she won't even show herself?"
TJP: "She was never going to set you on fire. She was just trying to get into your head, so get over it."
Becky: "Get over it? Just like how you've gotten over Paige kicking your ass four months ago? Just like how you've gotten over Billie Kay and Peyton Royce beating you at SummerSlam?"
TJP: "The difference is that against Paige and The Iconic Duo, I'm the victim in all of this. Allie dedicated a match to her dead father, and you humiliated her. If she keeps coming after you, that's your fault. You had it coming."
Becky: "Victim? You want to talk about a victim? Because the law says that I see one right next to you."
Paige, Billie and Peyton couldn't believe what they were seeing. It's like a fire was lit underneath Becky as a result of her feud with Allie, and the world was witnessing her let out months of pent up frustrations at once against TJP.
TJP stood up from his seat to get in Becky's face about bringing up the same allegations that The Iconic Duo did.
TJP: "... You know, I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to paint me as some monster or a predator! I've done nothing wrong!"
Becky: "So that's why you're sweating bullets right now? Because you've done nothing wrong? Fine. Let's say you haven't done anything wrong in the eyes of a courtroom. You've still instigated every single woman in WWE and on the planet for that matter by attacking us for our gender. And look what happened. Paige beat you. The Iconic Duo beat you. Keeping playing the victim card and I'll beat you, too."
Taynara moved TJP to the side, trying to go in for a punch on Becky. However, the SmackDown Women's Champion blocked the shot and shoved Taynara into TJP! Becky grabbed Taynara's arm and applied the Disarmer, all while TJP ran off from his own press conference! Taynara cried out for TJP to help her, but he was already out of the picture by that point. The reporters moved in closer to get pictures of the scene while security guards had to try their damnedest to pry Becky off of Taynara.
Billie and Peyton watched the chaos unfold with shocked expressions. They spent over a year working with Becky on both NXT and SmackDown Live, and they didn't know she was capable of this kind of aggression. Paige, on the other hand, was smiling because she was all too familiar with this process.
When Paige had her fuse set off last year, it was because AJ and The Committee made things personal with her.
Allie and Catch Point have pushed Becky in the exact same manner, and 'The Irish Lass Kicker' is snapping the same way Paige did.

August 28th, 2014 | Episode 020 | "Fight Fire with Fire"
1) JOHNNY GARGANO DEF. CEDRIC ALEXANDER TO RETAIN THE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP via Gargano Escape. 'Johnny Wrestling' was able to fend off another challenger in Alexander to keep his grip on the Cruiserweight Championship. Alexander's tag team partner, Roderick Strong, aided him to his feet while Gargano headed up the entrance ramp.
REY MYSTERIO AND ANDRADE 'CIEN' ALMAS MAKE THEIR UNFORGIVEN ENCOUNTER OFFICIAL: At this time, Rey Mysterio and Andrade 'Cien' Almas met face-to-face in the ring to sign the contract for their match at Unforgiven. Zelina Vega spoke on behalf of 'El Idolo,' telling Mysterio that he's going to be allowed one shot at glory in three weeks before Almas makes him regret coming out of retirement. After Mysterio signed the contract, Almas looked off to the side, noticing some of Mysterio's family members in the front row since Ontario was only about a two hour-long drive from San Diego. Almas spoke to them and said that they're not going to have to worry about missing Mysterio because he'll be right back with them after Unforgiven when he proves that he's the new face of Lucha Libre. Almas finally signed the contract before flicking the pen at Mysterio.
TJ PERKINS AND CM PUNK LOOK TO CONTROL SMACKDOWN LIVE: In a pre-traped video, TJ Perkins and CM Punk were shown in a darkened room, Punk stating that he made it clear before SummerSlam, he had no personal issue with The Iconic Duo. However, he does now after they tried humiliating him in Madison Square Garden by putting him through a table. "The embarrassment you two tried to bring upon me at SummerSlam is only a fraction of the embarrassment you'll both feel at Unforgiven," Punk said. TJP patted Punk on the shoulder, telling 'The Best in the World' that he was happy they can finally be on the same page. "'Same page' is a funny phrase to me since Paige will be anything but the same after she was attacked. How's her recovery going, Billie? Any good news, Peyton? Maybe you both can join her after Unforgiven because Catch Point is going to make sure that neither of you ever come close to the SmackDown Tag Team Championships." TJP and Punk were about to leave the room before they remembered the address the third team in the match. "I almost forgot about Cody and Sami, you know, just like everyone else has at this point," TJP said. He added that Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn have been nothing but afterthoughts ever since Catch Point arrived. "When I won the Intercontinental Title at Judgment Day, Cody was the champion. I know it's easy to forget about that. That tournament at Backlash that everyone wanted Paige to win? Yeah, nobody cared that Sami was the WWE Champion for a hot minute. And when Paige cashed-in..." TJP said, Punk noticeably fuming. "... When she cashed-in at The Bash, everyone forgot that they were rooting for Cody and Sami just a few seconds prior. You two are just going to have put up with being afterthoughts a little while longer because nobody is going to remember who walked into Unforgiven as the SmackDown Tag Team Champions when Catch Point walks out of the Triangle Ladder match with the titles."
2) ELIAS DEF. MOJO RAWLEY via Drift Away. Elias managed to score his first victory since having his undefeated streak snapped by Jeff Hardy two weeks ago. ‘The Drifter’ took his guitar and headed up the entrance ramp, preparing to perform a concert that nobody asked for until he was cut off by Matt Riddle’s entrance theme. ‘The King of Bros’ walked past Elias, set for his own upcoming contest.
3) MATT RIDDLE DEF. FANDANGO via the Bromission. Riddle picked up his first victory on SmackDown Live, setting himself on the right path until Elias ambushed him on the stage with a guitar shot to his back! ‘The Drifter’ had enough of Riddle seemingly taking his spotlight from him, unleashing his frustrations on ‘The King of Bros’.
JOHN CENA SPEAKS ON BOTH UNISON AND TONIGHT'S TRIPLE THREAT: Backstage, Renee Young was standing by with the Intercontinental Champion, John Cena, asking for his thoughts on the news that Kazuchika Okada has pulled out of his appearance at Unison next month. Cena stated that it's disappointing that Okada's ego is massive enough to the point where he believes that an appearance at a WWE event to compete against him isn't up to his standards. "I get it. Okada is as big of a talent as they come over in New Japan, but at the very least, I thought he'd want the opportunity to prove his worth on a global scale." Cena said that when one door closes, another one opens. Okada won't be at Unison, but Tetsuya Naito will. "Naito can bring his brand of tranquilo to Unison because I'm going all out for this one like it's WrestleMania because this is a WrestleMania-caliber match against him." Cena then said that while he has to focus on Unison, there's an upcoming title defense that also needs his attention. "I had a classic match with Jeff Hardy at SummerSlam, so I look forward to seeing what he improves on tonight. Solomon Crowe is the wild card in all of this, but I've dealt with much more dangerous entities in my time here. I've defended the Intercontinental Championship with pride and honor every step of the way up to this point, and I'll be dammed if tonight is any different."
4) JOHN CENA DEF. JEFF HARDY AND SOLOMON CROWE TO RETAIN THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP via the Headlock Driver to Hardy. When Hardy attempted to deliver Whisper in the Win during the match’s closing moments, Crowe actually swing his baseball bat at Hardy’s back! Crowe tried swinging the bat at Cena, only to be placed into position for an Attitude Adjustment. Cena covered Crowe to retain the Intercontinental Championship yet again, celebrating his victory until Samoa Joe slid into the ring, applying the Coquina Clutch to Cena! Joe kept his grip on Cena until officials and SmackDown Live General Manager Kurt Angle tried restraining him. Joe warned Angle last week that whatever happens from here on out is on him, and it seems that ‘The Samoan Submission Machine’ intends on haunting SmackDown Live by seizing the Intercontinental Championship.
5) ANTONIO CESARO & SHEAMUS DEF. THE SHINING STARS via the Brogue Kick. After betraying Kassius Ohno last week, Antonio Cesaro teamed up with Sheamus in a winning effort against Primo and Epico. As Cesaro and Sheamus stood tall, Ohno’s entrance music sounded. ‘The Knockout Artist’ stepped into the ring, Cesaro and Sheamus initially appearing to welcome the challenge from him. Instead, the two exited the ring to get away from Ohno, who demanded to know why Cessaro threw away their friendship.
BILLIE KAY AND PEYTON ROYCE ARE READY TO BECOME SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: Much like Catch Point’s pre-tape earlier in the evening, a similar video aired for The Iconic Duo. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce stood in front of the hospital in New York City where WWE Champion Paige was still recovering. Billie said that for almost two weeks now, the hospital has felt like home to them. “Obviously, we wish that wasn’t the case, but we’ve had to learn the hard way since being drafted to SmackDown Live that crap happens,” Billie said. Peyton added that Paige’s guidance has helped them tremendously, but the fact of the matter is that she’s not going to be at Unforgiven. “So we’d appreciate it if Catch Point tried to stop making this about Paige because she’s not the one who’s going to beat their asses in the Triangle Ladder match. We are. As far as Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn are concerned, they’re not afterthoughts. They’re our real targets. We had them beat last week had it not been for Catch Point. At Unforgiven, we finish what we started with both teams. We will be the next SmackDown Tag Team Champions because we are the future... and the future is… iconic.”
6) SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS CODY RHODES & SAMI ZAYN DEF. CHAD GABLE & JASON JORDAN via the Helluva Kick. At one point, Taynara Conto placed Chad Gable’s foot on the bottom rope after a Cross Rhodes. As Taynara backed away from the ring, she was suddenly attacked from behind by Cody’s wife, Brandi Rhodes. Brandi threw Taynara into the barricade as Cody and Zayn took Gable out with a Disaster Kick into a Helluva Kick. After the match, Cody took a microphone and said that Catch Point can say that Unforgiven will see a fair fight in the Triangle Ladder match, but everyone knows that TJ Perkins is the last person on SmackDown Live who should be trusted. He wouldn’t even put it past The Iconic Duo to pull a fast one. “You two said that Paige isn’t going to be at Unforgiven, but who’s to say that’s even true?” Cody and Zayn needed an equalizer, and that’s where Brandi comes in. She’ll have their backs at Unforgiven because if Catch Point and The Iconic Duo intend on playing dirty, then they do as well.
RODERICK STRONG LOOKS TO PROVE HIMSELF AGAINST THE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION: Backstage, Johnny Gargano was shown leaving the arena, still with the Cruiserweight Championship on his shoulder after defeating Cedric Alexander earlier in the night. Renee Young asked Gargano if he believes that there is still a competitive scene in the Cruiserweight division, and ‘Johnny Wrestling’ stated that the worst thing he could do is get comfortable. “Beating Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas and Cedric Alexander doesn’t mean that I’m suddenly in the clear as Cruiserweight Champion. In fact, I never want to have that feeling because that’s when I let my guard down. I never took my eyes off the prize on the independent scene or the Cruiserweight Classic. SmackDown Live isn’t any different.” Before Gargano could leave, he was confronted by Roderick Strong. Strong told Gargano that he hasn’t forgotten that his journey in the Cruiserweight Classic came to an end because of him. “If I deserved a Cruiserweight Championship match, then I would already have one, so I’m not asking you for that. What I am asking for is the chance to prove to you that I belong in the same discussion as ‘Johnny Wrestling.’” Strong extended his hand, Gargano accepting the gesture to confirm their non-title match at a later date.
ALLIE ISSUES AN UNFATHOMABLE CHALLENGE TO BECKY LYNCH: For what was advertised as the debut episode of Allie’s World, the ring was noticeably bare of any decorations that are normally present during talk show segments. Allie's entrance music sounded as she walked out onto the stage in a bunny mask decorated with splattered blood. 'The Queen of Catch' headed into the ring, saying that this is the scenery she's been forced by the universe to get comfortable with. "Alone... all I've ever been is alone. No one and nothing around me to help lift me in the giant troubling course that is my life. People can say that I've had friends, fans, a locker room to share with other dreamers in wrestling, and more recently Catch Point... but what does all of that do? How is all of that supposed to fill the void in my heart that's existed ever since my first bout of depression when I was a teenager?" Allie went on to say that playing the role of a happy-go-lucky, cheerful girl had the opposite effect on her that she had hoped. "Putting on a fake smile and pretending to be something I'm not made me even more miserable. If I walk around and tell people to be cheer up and happy, then all that does is make me a hypocrite because every day, I wake up and wish I was anything but the monster that I've turned myself into by holding onto painful memories. There was one day... just one day where I didn't hopelessness when I woke up. The morning of SummerSlam, I felt hope. Hope that I had finally seen the day where I change my life for the better. I made a promise to myself and those who this world took away from me that I would walk into Madison Square Garden, defeat Becky Lynch for the SmackDown Women's Championship, and finally smile... none of that happened. Becky took my last shot at peace away from me. Whether she intended to or not, she did and now, all I want to do is hurt Becky the way she hurt me. This isn't even about the Women's Title anymore. This is about me making Becky feel pain like she never has before." That led to Allie calling Becky out to the ring, the SmackDown Women's Champion answering the call. When Becky confronted Allie, a single spotlight was shined onto the two, putting their surroundings in pitch darkness. Becky told Allie that every single person who signs a WWE contract had some sort of struggle before achieving as much. "I'm not saying that your struggle was worth less than mine or anyone else's, but understand that I have my reasons to fight just like you do. I'm sorry if you feel that I hurt you, but a big favor you can do for yourself is stop blaming everyone but you for your own shortcomings. And when you talk about SummerSlam, you paint the picture that you have nothing to be proud of. On a show that had Paige, AJ Lee, AJ Styles, John Cena, people were talking about our match. Two girls from outside of the United States captured the hearts of an entire universe, and all you can think about is how you lost. You put up the fight of your life, but you can't even take pleasure in knowing that because you're so fixated on hating everything. If you're going to take it all out on me, then I'm going to fight back because I'm not taking any crap from anyone."
Becky's words got to Allie heavily, making her snap in her response.
"... Fixated? I'm fixated on hating everything? You think I chose to be this way? You think I want to be so spiteful? That's real damn easy for you say because you overcame your struggles. Your early retirement had the fairytale ending that you were dreaming of. You got over your fears of wrestling and ended up getting signed to NXT. You know what my fairytale ending is? You tell me because my father's not coming back from the dead. Neither is my best friend who committed suicide. So what I am I fighting for? Why am I fighting? I have no idea at this point. I'm still in wrestling because I've got nothing else to do. I don't know where my happy ending comes from because for whatever reason, it's been decided that my struggles don't matter to an audience that has accepted everyone else. Paige had miscarriages. AJ has bipolar disorder. Alexa Bliss had an eating disorder. Billie and Peyton are outcasted for their sexualities. You made it out of retirement. This company embraced every woman's struggles and helped them become stars, so why am I the exception?! Why do you all get to become main eventers while I'm left behind like a piece of garbage?! Why is my life worth less than everyone else's?! I'm surrounded by people who don't care about me! No one ever stops to ask if I'm okay or if I want to sit down and talk! Not the locker room! Not the higher-ups! Not even Catch Point give enough of a f*** about me to see how I'm doing! It's not fair... it's not fair... why can't I be... why can't I be loved?"
Allie began crying as the WWE Universe had no idea how to react to her. She then said that the only people who ever loved her are dead, and more often than not, she feels she should be as well. But if there's any chance of her being able to live a happy life for once, then she'll fight for it. "You took away my shot at happiness. I'll make sure that you pay for these tears I'm shedding at Unforgiven. Everything that I've had to suffer over... it's going to cost you the SmackDown Women's Championship..."
"... And beyond just hurting you... I'm going to set fire to every single one of my demons."
After Allie's last line, flames shot up at ringside. Fire was now surrounding the ring, explaining why the area was darkened by Allie during the segment. Allie's challenge for Unforgiven is a match that no women have ever competed in before. Becky was in the position where even if she wanted to deny the challenge, she was literally trapped in a ring of fire with SmackDown Live's most vengeful superstar. Becky, however, had no intention of backing down. If this was what Allie wanted, then it's what she was going to get.
At Unforgiven, Becky and Allie will face-off in a match where the only way to win is to set your opponent on fire.

Friday August 29th, 2014
New York City, New York
Almost two weeks after Paige's attack and Kevin Condron, the private investigator hired by WWE, already hit a roadblock in his work. Some of it couldn't be blamed on Condron since he was ordered to get depositions from several NXT superstars who weren't likely to have had any involvement. He wasted away his week at the Performance Center, crossing off names one-by-one from a list that he was given. All Condron wanted to do was place the blame for the attack on The Iconic Duo, but couldn't figure out how to do that. Even if they weren't guilty, that's the picture he wanted to paint.
After a deposition from Zack Sabre Jr. that turned into a discourse on politics instead of an interview, Condron took Friday, August 29th, off from the investigation in order to head back to New York City and visit AJ Lee at the hospital she was still bound to following SummerSlam. Condron knew that it was physically impossible for AJ to have committed the attack, and even less likely for her to have ordered it because she's always faced Paige head-on, but he still wanted to have a moment to let her know that he's not only intending on hurting Paige by convicting Billie Kay and Peyton Royce. He's going to hurt her as well.
Condron checked in as a visitor at the hospital and was directed to AJ's room, 'The Black Widow' staring at the blank wall in front of her. Condron slowly approached AJ's bed as she didn't give him any of her attention. She had to have remembered him as the fake psychiatrist who tried to take advantage of her mental health for a profit.
Condron: "... You look a lot less volatile when you're bedridden."
AJ: "... .... ..."
Condron: "Have you even had any other visitors? Am I the only one who's given enough of a damn to give you the time of day?"
AJ: "... ... ..."
The lack of any responses from AJ greatly annoyed Condron. If he couldn't even find enjoyment in tormenting her, then what was the point of even being there?
Condron: "You heard that Paige was attacked, didn't you?"
AJ: "... ... ..."
Condron: "Yeah. WWE asked me to look into the matter. I know you didn't do it, so I'm not here to interrogate you."
AJ: "... ... ..."
Condron: "What I came here for was to let you know what my intentions are. I don't give a damn about Paige. As far as I'm concerned, she had it coming. And frankly, you had your SummerSlam beating coming to you."
AJ: "... ... ..."
Condron: "Both you and Paige tried to ruin my life. You almost did, but it looks like I'm going to get the last laugh because I have both of your well-beings in my hands. I control this story from here on out because being the private investigator looking into Paige's attack gives me that power. And you know what I'm going to do with it?"
AJ: "... ... ..."
Condron: "I don't care who attacked Paige. I might end up letting the real assailants go free, but all that matters to me is that I use this opportunity to hurt her. On top of that, I get to hurt you at the same time. You want to know how?"
AJ: "... ... ..."
Condron: "What do you and Paige have in common? Admiration for Billie Kay. The same Billie Kay who you were on the verge of marrying had it not been for Paige. She cares about Billie. Hell, she might care about Billie more than you do, which is why I'm going to take her down. One way or another, I will pin this crime on The Iconic Duo. I know you'll find enjoyment out of Peyton Royce's downfall, but how's it going to feel when you get out of this hospital and know that you'll never see your precious Billie Kay again because of me?! Maybe she did attack Paige, maybe she didn't. I've spent the last week running around this f***ing circus of a company looking for the answers I want! TJ Perkins, CM Punk, Allie, Becky Lynch, all of them have done nothing to help me. I'm a one man army in all of this, and this is going to end with me pointing a finger at Billie and Peyton and telling the whole world that they attacked Paige! I'm going to destroy them the way you and Paige tried destroying me."
AJ's expression didn't change for a single second of Condron's outburst. He couldn't antagonize AJ the way he wanted to, but he was at least satisfied that he got his message across. He turned around and headed for the exit, believing that his work there was finished.
AJ: "... Allie knows more than she's letting on."
Condron: "... ... ... What?"
AJ: "She knows."
Condron: "Allie knows what?"
AJ: "Allie knows who attacked Paige."
After all this time, Condron was finally presented with some sliver of hope in the investigation. He was suddenly no longer hostile toward AJ, but instead turned this confrontation into a deposition.
Condron: "How does Allie know?!"
AJ: "Because she accidentally ordered it."
Condron: ... What? How do... how do you accidentally order a hit?!"
AJ: "You're the investigator. You figure it out."
Condron wasn't going to let this chance at an answer slip away.
Condron: "How do you know all of this?!"
AJ: "She told me."
Now, Condron didn't know if AJ was serious or just f***ing with him. How would AJ have had any contact with Allie?
Condron: "... Does Allie know she 'accidentally' got Paige attacked?"
AJ: "Yes, and she doesn't care. She would've done it herself if she thought of it."
Condron: "... Who did it? Who attacked Paige?"
AJ: "I didn't say I knew. I said Allie does."
Condron: "Bulls***, AJ! Did The Iconic Duo do it?!"
AJ: "... ... ..."
Condron: "... ... ..."
AJ: "... ... ... I don't know."
Condron angrily stormed out of the hospital once he understood that he wasn't going to get any more answers out of AJ, who laughed harder and harder as he got progressively angrier. Condron used to believe that Emma, who still hasn't responded to any of his attempts at reaching out, was the key to pinning the blame on Billie and Peyton. Suddenly, if he's to take AJ's words as gospel, then Allie is the one who has the answer because somehow, she "accidentally" ordered the hit, and is the only person who knows the identity of the attackers.

New York City, New York
It felt like all of the focus was still placed on Paige, and that's something that AJ Lee couldn't get over. In victory at SummerSlam, Paige was the center of attention, and in turmoil because of her attack, she was still the only person the WWE Universe was talking about. All while AJ was also bedridden at a hospital in New York City. The lacerations on her body were healing, but the mental trauma that spawned when AJ was put through a glass panel by The Iconic Duo would remain with her forever. 'The Black Widow' convinced herself that Billie Kay was in love with her, and that 'The Femme Fatale' was actually just Peyton Royce's hostage. The final moments of the Last Diva Standing match should have made AJ realize that Billie doesn't want anything to do with her, but her admiration and love for Billie is so strong that she's telling herself Billie was manipulated by Paige and Peyton.
AJ sat in her room at the hospital, keeping her phone shut off to isolate herself from the world of social media that was surely to be hostile toward her, while praising Paige like every instance before.
AJ closed her eyes to try falling asleep, but heard the door open. She assumed it was just another doctor to check on her since she had yet to have a single visitor, but to her shock, Allie was standing a few feet away from her.
AJ: "... Why are you here?"
Allie: "I... I don't know. It doesn't feel like I have anywhere else to be. Ever since SummerSlam, I've felt lost all over again."
AJ: "Allie... you lost a match to Becky Lynch. You're standing on your own two feet. I'm in a f***ing hospital bed and have stitches practically covering my body. If you're going to tell me how much your life sucks, I can't take that seriously."
Allie: "You took me seriously enough to put me in Catch Point."
Allie was referring to a secret that had yet to be revealed to the WWE Universe. Catch Point was AJ's brainchild, not TJ Perkins'. He was just the first recruit. AJ intended the group to be an entity that could prevent Paige from succeeding in her quest to become WWE Champion since AJ was initially on RAW. All members were recruited by AJ, including Allie.
AJ: "Putting you in Catch Point was more of a joke than anything else. I just wanted to see how TJP would react to having a woman in the group."
Allie: "Is that still all you see me as? A joke?"
AJ: "To my surprise, no. You've proven that you're capable of holding your own. You're not a joke, Allie. You're also not the star you think you are."
Allie: "I don't care about being a star. I just wanted to be happy."
AJ: "... That's how they all start out."
Allie: "... What does that mean?"
AJ: "The women's division is just one giant, twisted cycle. When I signed with WWE, I was just happy to be there. I told myself that I didn't care about money, or my spot on the card, or championships. I just wanted to live my dream. You know what happened? I got a taste of success, so I wanted more. And more. And more. I became greedy and thus, my dream turned into a nightmare that I'm still living in. It happened to Paige. It happened to Kaitlyn. It happened to Alexa Bliss. It's happening to you. It'll keep happening to all of the poor girls who get into this industry and think that they're going to be the ones to break the cycle."
Allie: "... ... ..."
AJ: "You might think that I don't understand what you're going through, Allie, but the truth is that I'm the only one who can feel for you. I thought WrestleMania 29 was going to be my big break. I walked into MetLife Stadium expecting to become Divas Champion, but instead, Paige shattered my dream. Did you walk into Madison Square Garden expecting to become SmackDown Women's Champion? Did Becky Lynch shatter your dream? Because right now, you have the same look on your face that I did before I finally snapped and forced things to go my way."
Allie: "We're not the same."
AJ: "Stop lying to yourself. You and I have more in common than you want to admit, and you know that's true."
Allie: "... ... ..."
AJ: "What's so hard about accepting that?"
Allie: "Because I've never raped anyone."
AJ knew that Allie was only going off of what Billie said the time she told the world on SmackDown Live that AJ raped her. She didn't know the truth... but AJ was going to give it to her anyway.
AJ: "You and everyone else can call it whatever you want. I didn't rape Billie. We had sex and she didn't know how she felt about me yet."
Allie: "You mean she didn't know that she hated your f***ing guts yet?"
AJ: "Shut up. Billie doesn't hate me. She loves me. The only reason she ever even said the word 'rape' was because Paige and Peyton manipulated her."
Allie: "... I think Paige is doing more than manipulating her."
AJ: "What does that mean?"
Allie: "... I... I overheard something after the main event of SummerSlam that set me off."
AJ: "... Okay... that doesn't really answer my question."
Allie: "I think Paige raped Billie."
AJ's eyes and mouth widened the instant she heard Allie's bit of news, jumping straight into believing it.
Allie: "I was sitting against the wall in one of the restrooms in the locker room. Billie and Peyton didn't know I was there. They sounded like they were getting ready to take Paige to a hospital to get stitched up, and that's when Peyton started asking Billie some questions because she seemed off. Peyton asked if they can trust Paige, and Billie didn't give her an answer. She said that they couldn't keep Paige waiting any longer since she needed help. Just the way Billie was evading the question... and I don't even know if you saw this, but during Last Diva Standing, she and Paige were really touchy-feely. It might be a long shot and I know can be wrong... but something did happen between Paige and Billie that nobody is going to question because Paige was un-f***ing-touchable for some reason."
AJ didn't know how to react to the possible news - or at least a conspiracy that Allie drew up - that Paige could've raped Billie. Even if AJ actually did the same act a couple of months ago, she legitimately cared for Billie and wanted to harm anyone who would do something like that to her. Of course, without realizing the irony in her mindset.
Allie: "If it's any consolation, Paige is back in the hospital for a while. She got attacked at her hotel on Monday."
AJ: "By who? You?"
Allie: "No... but I do think it's my fault it happened."
AJ: "... How?"
Allie: "When I started thinking about the possibility of Paige raping somebody and getting away with it so that she can continue to be treated like the greatest of all-time... it really f***ed with me. I couldn't stand the thought of some monster being praised while I'm put down for being unstable because of trauma from my past. It's not fair... it's not f***ing fair at all. I started crying and two people in the locker room heard me. I didn't think they of all people would give a s*** about me, but they listened to me. Not just about my own issues with Paige, but why they should feel victimized by her as well. When I heard that Paige had two attackers, they were the first ones I thought of."
AJ: "... You said Billie and Peyton were in the locker room with you. Was it them? Did they attack Paige?"
Allie was about to give AJ her answer, but stopped once she saw the despair on AJ's face. Allie decided in that moment to toy with AJ's emotions and get the upper-hand on the woman who was a master at mind games.
Allie: "... It's being investigated by WWE. I've already given my deposition, so I'm clear. But the last I heard was that Billie and Peyton don't have alibis. If it's discovered that they did it, who knows what'll happen to them. I'm sure you'd be happy to see Peyton suffer, but what about Billie? Where does her life go when all she's known as is the person who tried to kill Paige? I mean... if you choose to believe everything I said about Billie and Paige, who could blame her for wanting to take matters into her own hands? She was too scared for months to do anything about you raping her. So the second time it happens... of course she's not going to stand by and watch yet another abuser of hers get off free."
Allie couldn't believe what she was seeing. She, the girl who wasn't taken seriously by anyone just a few months ago, had AJ on the brink of tears by instilling in her the belief that Billie might be convicted for Paige's attack. She felt empowered by the act. The hopelessness that she had after losing to Becky at SummerSlam was very much still prevalent inside of her, but this encounter made her realize the opportunity she has.
Allie: "By the way, the private investigator WWE hired is Kevin Condron. Your old psychologist who you beat in the middle of the ring on RAW a few months ago. The tone in his voice when he talked about you... he seems like the kind of guy who's going to do anything he can for revenge... even if that means getting a guilty verdict for Billie any way he can."
With AJ out of the picture, Allie saw her opening to become SmackDown Live's new antagonist. |

"Take Me Away" by The Plot in You
The day you passed away
Something about this place changed
We're waiting for signals of love
But you were cold and I guess you'd had enough
Spoke my name, I felt your pain
As your eyes cloud up and then close shut
I saw your soul leave this room like it was sick of you
You had this look on your face like you were thinking
Just take me away
I'll never change
Take me away
I will never change
My father was broken and low
And I saw a side he'd never shown
So many secrets he'd kept
Some things he was forced to accept
Spoke my name, I felt your pain
As your eyes cloud up and then close shut
I saw your soul leave this room like it was sick of you
You had this look on your face like you were thinking
Just take me away
I'll never change
Take me away
I will never change
Take me away
Crossed his heart and hoped to die
I know you fought so hard
And held your pride
I wish you knew my thoughts and heard my voice
Cause I was tied and knots
But stood with poise
And when you spoke my name
I felt pain as your eyes cloud up then closed shut
I saw your soul leave this room like it was sick of you
You had this look on your face like you were thinking
Just take me away
I'll never change
Take me away
I will never change
Saturday August 30th, 2014
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Wednesday, September 3rd, will be Allie's 27th birthday. 'The Queen of Catch' would spend that day ever year at her old house in Toronto. The same home where she lived for the deaths of both her father and best friend when she was a teenager. Despite its dark nature that Allie would never be able to vanish, she hoped that continuously returning, even if just once a year, would help her see the progress she's made emotionally, mentally and spiritually since the two traumatic events. This time, however, she felt the worst that she had in years. Unveiling her true character to the WWE Universe didn't bring her the joy and self-confidence that she thought it would. She needed a win over Becky Lynch at SummerSlam to solidify her happiness, an opportunity that she said Becky stole from her.
Because of her busy schedule for the coming week, August 30th was the only available date that Allie could use to return to Toronto and celebrate her birthday, alone per usual. She set a vegan cake that she made herself down on a table in the living room, lighting the "2" and "7" candles.
Allie: "Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday dear Allie... Happy... Birthday... to... to... to..."
It was as if Allie was consumed by a trance-like state the more she stared at the two small flames on the candles. She had to convince herself that she wasn't afraid of fire, even if she was the one who issued the challenge to Becky for an Inferno match at Unforgiven. Allie kept the worst case scenario out of her mind, but seeing fire for herself at that moment in time made the thought of her entire body being engulfed in flames for the entire world to see burn in her mind.
Allie slowly extended her hand out toward one of the candles, gently placing her index finger on the flame. As soon as she touched it, she pulled her hand away and winced. She glanced at her finger to see no burn mark, just a red spot. Still, she knew that if she is to lose at Unforgiven, the scene will be much, much worse. Even fatal if she's not careful.
After blowing out the candles, Allie cut a slice of the cake for herself, trying to eat it in peace without thinking about Becky, or Unforgiven, or fire because those only made her feel worse when contained in the walls that watched her endure years of depression and feelings of hopelessness. Suddenly, Allie heard a knock on the door, which startled her. There was no reason why a house that was abandoned for 364 days of the year should have any visitors. She listened for another knock and heard several more. She took the knife used to cut her cake in case she would have to defend herself.
Allie opened the door and held up the knife, only to be met by Kevin Condron.
Condron: "Jesus f***ing Christ! Don't kill me!"
Allie: "... Are you f***ing kidding me?"
Allie put the knife away, leaving the door open for Condron to walk in. Condron, whose heart was still pounding after believing that he was about to be stabbed to death, looked around the living room, noticing the birthday cake.
Condron: "It's your birthday?"
Allie: "Next Wednesday."
Condron: "Oh. Happy Birthday."
Allie: "... Thanks. You're probably the only person who's going to wish that for me. Unlike Paige, who had a whole ass party thrown for her before SummerSlam."
Condron: "... Right... Paige... I'm actually here to ask you about her."
Allie: "How did you even know about this house? Did you follow me all the way to Toronto?"
Condron: "I have access to a lot of WWE superstars' personal information. This address was listed on your file from TNA, and you posted on Instagram that you were going home. I figured this was what you meant."
Allie: "... ... ... I told you everything I needed to about Paige."
Condron: "Then why did AJ Lee tell me that you know who attacked Paige?"
Allie: "... ... ..."
Condron: "... ... ..."
Allie: "... ... ... That's what AJ said?"
Condron: "She told me yesterday when I went to the hospital to question her."
Allie: "Do you believe her? Are you going to take the word of an insane, deranged lunatic as gospel?"
Condron: "Maybe. I don't know, but I have nowhere else to look. So I'll take whatever I can get at this point."
Allie: "... Is that all she said?"
Condron: "No. She said that you 'accidentally' ordered the hit on Paige. That's the part I don't buy."
Allie: "Why not?"
Condron: "How can you ask for someone to be attacked and call it an accident?"
Allie: "... Sit down and I'll tell you."
Condron was speechless. Allie's last comment was more or less a confession that AJ was telling the truth. Allie took the knife that she was ready to kill Condron with, and cut a slice of vegan birthday cake for him.
Allie: "... I hate Paige."
Condron, chewing on cake: "Me too."
Allie: "No, like I f***ing hate her. To the point where I almost wish she were dead. There's no reason for her to be as celebrated as she is when I've gone through worse. She gets to go back home and see her family, while all I can do is come back to this hellhole and hope that things will get better, and no one in my family is around to see it. Paige has depression? Guess what? So do I, but WWE isn't handing me everything on silver, blood-stained platter for it. Instead, I was relegated to being Stephanie McMahon's assistant when I got here. I had to sell out and join Catch Point just to make my voice be heard in the women's division. The very first time I stepped into the ring with Paige, you know what she did? She forfeited the match because she didn't want to hurt me. It was like she thought she was doing me some favor. All she did was tell me to my face that I'm not in her league. She said before The Bash that she had the chance to beat me to a pulp and missed out on it... and I feel the same toward her. I was her last match before she cashed-in Money in the Bank and became WWE Champion. I could've stopped all of this, but because I was nervous and anxious about being in a main event-level match on Pay-Per-View, I choked."
Condron: "... So... who attacked her?"
Allie: "Did AJ tell you that I know who did it?"
Condron: "Yeah."
Allie: "She's lying. I don't know for sure who did it... but I have a better idea than anyone else."
Condron: "How come you didn't tell me during Catch Point's deposition?"
Allie: "Because it didn't register in my brain right away that I might be linked to her attack. Here's what happened: After I lost to Becky Lynch at SummerSlam, I was devastated. I wanted to be left alone and isolated from everyone else. I sat in a restroom in the women's locker room and started bawling my eyes out. Last Diva Standing must have just finished because Billie and Peyton went into the room to get Paige's stuff. And that's when I heard..."
Condron: "... You heard what?"
Allie: "... Some s*** that I don't know whether it's true or not, but if it is, then Paige is even more of a monster than I already saw her as. I'm not the one who attacked her, but I'll gladly take moral responsibility if the attackers turn out to be who I think they are."
Condron: "... Just answer this question for me. Whatever it was that you heard... do you think it's a valid enough reason for Billie and Peyton to have attacked Paige?
Allie: "... ... ..."
Condron, finishing his cake: "... ... ..."
Allie: "... ... .... Maybe, b-"
Even if not entirely confident, Allie's sliver of assurance that Billie and Peyton might have been the assailants was all that Condron needed to hear. For the first time, no one was telling him that The Iconic Duo's involvement in all of this didn't make sense, and that was good enough for him to head back to the United States and question Billie and Peyton on the matter.
Condron thanked Allie for the vegan cake and left the house, though Allie wasn't able to finish her last sentence to Condron before he exited.
Allie: "... But I don't think it was them."
Allie didn't get the chance to tell Condron that there were two other women who she believes are the real attackers. |

"Best Friends" by grandson
I never learned from my mistakes
Until I'm too late to do anything
A screen glows in a dark room
Laptop talk of a change that never came
Oh no, no, no
So console me
Just what to do and how to fix it
I'm lonely
Sitting in this crowded room
All of my best friends like to go and get f***ed up
Then they talk about all the lives they never got to live
Oh they're still waiting for some sort of invitation
It's never coming along
Oh no, you'll get just what you give
Getting high with your best friends
I'm just reading about flaws that I didn't know I had
Watching ads for things I didn't know I need
Oh no, no, no
Pour a drink just to stop the shakes
Blowing smoke until my eyes bleed
Mmm...
Oh console me
Just what to do and how to fix it
I'm lonely
Sitting in this crowded room
All of my best friends like to go and get f***ed up
Then they talk about all the lives they never got to live
Oh, they're still waiting for some sort of invitation
It's never coming along
Oh no, you'll get just what you give
Getting high with your best friends
Sometimes you gotta leave that city to love that city and start all over again
But it doesn't look so pretty to get your hands dirty and start all over again
You gotta leave that city to love that city or else you might get trapped
Oh, you might get trapped
Just like all of my
Just like all of my
Oh, just like all of my best friends like to go and get f***ed up
Then they talk about all the lives they never got to live
Oh they're still waiting for some sort of invitation
It's never coming along
Oh no, you'll get just what you give
Getting high with your best friends
Saturday August 30th, 2014
New York City, New York
The day that Paige had been anticipating finally arrived. After spending almost two weeks in the hospital following an attack by two unknown assailants, the WWE Champion was being discharged. She'd finally be able to go home, and while she wasn't cleared yet to return to in-ring action, she'll be able to spend time alone and clear her mind.
Earlier that day, Paige - along with the rest of the world - learned that the 2015 Royal Rumble match will be first in history to be evenly split between genders. 15 men and 15 women will be competing for a title opportunity in the main event of WrestleMania, one of said eligible titles being the one she currently holds. She won't get the chance to compete in her second Royal Rumble match if she's still the WWE Champion come January 25th, but she'll be able to watch her fellow women's wrestlers make history, two of them likely being the women who have been by her side almost every day in the hospital.
Billie Kay and Peyton Royce were with Paige when they all heard the news about the Royal Rumble match, which made The Iconic Duo all the more emotional. The two are already set to compete for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships in the main event of Unforgiven, so to learn that they'll more than likely have the chance to vie for a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania, it just made the two reflect on their progress and realize how far they've not only come, but the entire women's wrestling landscape.
Not wanting to ruin their excitement, Paige didn't want to bring up the fact that if she's still the WWE Champion at the Royal Rumble, then Billie and Peyton will be fighting for a shot at her.
Later on in the night, Paige was just about ready to leave the hospital and drive back home to Orlando with Billie and Peyton. The three had all of their things gathered, but there was one final visitor for Paige before she left: Kevin Condron.
Condron: "We need to talk."
Paige: "Who's 'we'? I already gave you my deposition."
Condron: "You did, but they didn't."
Billie: "... Right. There's really a chance that we're the ones who attacked Paige. You understand what you're implying, right?"
While Billie defended herself against Condron's insinuation, Peyton looked off to the side, as if she didn't think it was wild to assume their involvement.
Condron: "If there's no chance you guys did it, then just tell me this: Where were you the morning she was attacked? Why don't either of you have alibis?"
Billie: "We were shopping."
Peyton: "We were at the gym."
The two Iconic Duo members made the mistake of answering simultaneously. They contradicted each other, which alarmed Paige. If they really didn't have anything to hide, their alibis would've been the same. They were both lying to Condron.
Condron: "I'll ask one more time. Where were you guys the morning Paige was attacked?"
Billie: "... ... ..."
Peyton: "... ... ..."
Paige: "... Guys... answer him."
Billie: "... We were planning a wedding."
Condron raised his left eyebrow in confusion, as did Paige as The Iconic Duo turned to her.
Paige: "What do you mean a wedding? You already had one."
Peyton: "We intended for our wedding to be a grandiose thing. Not some makeshift bulls*** that AJ Lee had to be a part of. We want to get married on our own terms, which is why we're still planning the wedding that we wanted to have in the first place."
Paige: "... Okay... but, why keep that a secret from me?"
Billie: "We were going to surprise you because we wanted to ask you later on if you'll be our Maid of Honor."
Paige: "... You want me to be the Maid of Honor?"
Billie: "Yes. You're the reason we were able to get married in the first place. We want you to be a part of our real wedding ceremony. It's the least we can do."
Peyton: "The only thing is that we were planning for the wedding to be on Christmas since SmackDown Live falls on it this year. Instead of going home to Australia for the holidays, we're going to bring our friends and family here. You can do the same if you want."
Paige was caught off-guard by Billie and Peyton's declaration that they wanted to have another wedding ceremony, but she was just relieved to know that they indeed had alibis and couldn't have been the ones to attack her after Condron planted the thought in her mind.
Condron: "That still doesn't tell me exactly where you guys were on that morning."
Billie: "Okay, seriously? You're still going on about that? Let me ask you this, then. What reason would we have to attack Paige? She's the entire reason that I'm not married to AJ Lee right now! Paige saved me! She saved us! We're forever in debt to her and it f***ing sickens me that you think we'd be capable of being so f***ing cold-hearted that we could just turn our backs on Paige! Why?! Why do you believe that we did it?!"
Peyton: "I don't know if he even believes that we actually did it."
Billie: "... What do you mean?
Peyton: "I think he just wants to pin all of this on us. The investigation's been going on for, what, two weeks now? Have you heard of any breakthroughs? No. Paige told us that before you became a private investigator, you were a fake psychiatrist who tried pushing AJ to the point of suicide so you could get more money every time she visited you. Paige was the one who outed you. You have a grudge against her, and you saw her attack as a way of getting back at her by finding a way to blame us. Am I right or no?"
Condron: "You're wrong. AJ and Allie told me everything I need to know."
Peyton: "... What does Allie have to do with any of this?"
Condron: "She's the reason Paige was attacked."
Paige: "What?"
Initially, Condron didn't realize what he said. It was only after the fact that it hit him that he just gave away Allie's involvement in all of this.
Condron: "... F***."
Paige: "What do you mean Allie was the reason I was attacked?"
Condron: "Just drop it. I don't know what I was saying."
Not wanting to let it go, Paige grabbed Condron by the collar of his shirt and pinned him against the wall, the back of his head slamming against it.
Paige: "What the f*** did Allie do?!?"
Condron: "Jesus f***! She said that she overheard Billie and Peyton talking after SummerSlam! In the locker room! She thinks you two had motives!"
Billie: "Allie heard us?"
Just like Condron earlier, Billie didn't realize her slip-up until it was too late to take back what she said. Paige turned her head toward Billie after she confirmed that there was indeed a conversation between Peyton and herself that could've given Allie the idea that they were behind the attack.
Condron: "Allie said you guys went back to the locker room afterwards to talk to her once you heard her crying."
Peyton: "What?"
Billie: "Okay, that wasn't us. We took our stuff and went to the trainer's room to be with Paige. We didn't see Allie that night. She's lying about that."
Condron was misconstruing what Allie really said to him. She said that two people did try comforting her in the locker room, but she never outright said it was Billie and Peyton. He was only making Allie look worse in all of this.
Paige: "... What were you guys talking about?"
Paige began to panic. She looked into Billie's eyes, hoping they didn't reflect worrisome reflects. To her dismay, they did. If Billie told Peyton about their kiss before SummerSlam, that would be the end of her.
Peyton: "... I was asking Billie if we can trust you."
Paige: "... What?"
Peyton: "I'll be completely honest. I know that Billie trusts you, but that doesn't mean I do."
Paige: "... I saved you from having to watch Billie marry AJ Lee..."
Peyton: "Did you save me from that? Or did you save yourself?"
Paige: "What are you getting at?"
Peyton: "If you actually cared about me, then why did you get yourself involved with AJ after The Bash? I mean, I know the answer. I'm just waiting to hear your response."
Paige: "If you know the answer, then what is it?"
Peyton: "You didn't try helping me at The Bash because all you cared about that night was becoming the WWE Champion. You knew from the start that you were going to cash-in Money in the Bank on whoever won the Triple Threat. When you had the WWE Title in your sights, I didn't matter. People think you're some kind of a hero who stands up for the 'little guy,' but maybe, just maybe what AJ said about you during the wedding was right. Maybe you're just a selfish bitch."
Paige: "I'm a selfish bitch?"
Billie: "Okay, that's enough."
Peyton: "And you know what? I think I might one, too, because the second that the Royal Rumble was announced as an intergender match, the only thing I could think about was how badly I want you to still be WWE Champion by then because that means that when I win the Royal Rumble, I can beat you in the main event of WrestleMania and strip away your title along with your massive ego."
Paige: "Peyton, back the f*** up. Now. I'm warning you."
Peyton: "Or else what? What are you really going to do with Billie standing right here?"
Paige: "What does she matter?"
Peyton: "She matters to you more than you're willing to admit."
At that moment, Condron looked at his phone, hoping that Emma would miraculously respond to his most recent e-mail. He still maintained that Emma was the person who would know better than anyone else if The Iconic Duo were capable of attacking Paige. As long as she was in hiding, he would have to go the long route to find - or fabricate - the answers he was looking for. Looking over Paige's shoulder, Peyton noticed Condron glaring at his phone.
Peyton: "Hey, you. Call Allie right now and tell her that I'll deal with her for trying to frame Billie and me."
Paige: "No. Allie's mine."
Peyton: "Oh, like how the feud with AJ was my business until you decided to make it all about yourself? For once, Paige, for just f***ing once, can you stop making every facet of SmackDown Live about you? Because everyone is sick and f***ing tired of you being shoved down our throats!"
Billie: "Guys, please stop."
Paige: "I'll stop when Peyton apologizes to me."
Peyton: "Apologize for what?! For having the balls to say what everyone else is feeling about you?!"
Paige: "I'm the reason you're even married in the first place."
Peyton: "And Billie and I are the reasons you're still the WWE Champion! We're the ones who beat AJ at SummerSlam! Not you! You want us to just forget about that?! If it wasn't for us, that f***ing monster would be the WWE Champion and our nightmare would have never ended!"
Paige: "A nightmare that only went on for as long as it did because YOU couldn't get the job done! When Billie's hand in marriage was on the line at The Bash, you're the one who lost! I had to clean up the mess that you made, Peyton!"
Peyton: "Because you're in love with my wife! You're the same as AJ!"
When having her character be compared to that of AJ Lee, that's when Paige finally snapped. She swung her right hand at Peyton, who dodged the strike. Peyton then struck Paige with her closed-fist in the same temple that one of her mysterious attackers slammed a door against. Paige immediately fell to the floor, Peyton kicking her once in the head before continuing to attack her. Condron, who ended up staying to watch the rest of the verbal argument, took out his phone and began recording the incident.
Condron: "Look! Look, everyone! Peyton Royce is beating the s*** out of your precious Paige!"
Billie: "F*** you! F*** off! Get out! Now!"
Billie screamed at Condron to leave the room before she tried to stop her wife from assaulting her best friend. Billie grabbed Peyton and forced her against a wall, Paige barely showing signs of consciousness while lying on the floor.
As soon as Condron left, he shared the video of Peyton beating Paige to Twitter and Instagram. The footage was retweeted by WWE, superstars and fans alike. It became the most shared and interacted-with media of the night, and both Paige and Peyton trended on Twitter for hours. The entire world of professional wrestling watched the video, and the animosity between Paige and Peyton couldn't be concealed any longer.

September 1st, 2014 | Episode 021 | "The Dream Team"
WWE CHAMPION PAIGE KICKS OFF RAW: In an untraditional move that all staff members of RAW and SmackDown Live agreed to, WWE Champion Paige made her first public appearance since retaining the gold over AJ Lee in a Last Diva Standing match at SummerSlam. Paige headed into the ring, waiting for the thunderous response from the Des Moines to quiet down before speaking. Paige said that after SummerSlam, she was blindsided in an attack that she still doesn't have any answers for. "A private investigator is supposed to be looking into all of this, but instead of doing his job, he decided to record one of my most vulnerable moments and plaster it on social media for the entire world to see." Of course, Paige was referring to the footage of Peyton Royce punching her in a hospital over the weekend. The WWE Champion said that she and Peyton had an argument that wasn't meant to broadcasted, but it was and now, she doesn't know where she stands with The Iconic Duo as of now. "But what I do know is that now that I'm back, nobody is safe. I beat AJ Lee, but I still have so much left to prove as the WWE Champion, and SmackDown Live is in for pure hell at my hands. Especially Catch P-" Paige couldn't finish as she was interrupted by Sasha Banks' theme song, 'The Boss' arriving along with the woman who made her RAW debut last week, Bayley. Sasha told Paige that her being in the ring was such a typical move by the WWE in this day and age of the women's division. "That's because in the eyes of everyone, there is no such thing as a 'women's division.' There is only Paige's division and the rest of us are just supporting characters." Bayley took the microphone and said that she's been bombarded with questions over the last week, and there is no better time to explain herself than in the presence of the woman who is almost single-handedly responsible for the deterioration of women's wrestling. "While you, AJ, Kaitlyn and all of you guys were changing the game here on the main roster last year, there was another revolution happening in NXT because of women like Sasha Banks and myself. Every time we stepped into the ring, we brought fans to their feet. We showed them the capabilities of women's wrestling... but that wasn't good enough because we weren't bashing each other with barbed wire bats, or puncturing ourselves with thumbtacks. We wanted to change women's wrestling by being wrestlers, but you're the reason that couldn't happen. So while we were putting on instant classics in NXT, someone like Alexa Bliss was able to pass us by because she managed to hide her own shortcomings as an athlete by becoming just another garbage wrestler like you," said the angered Bayley. Sasha then stated that she and Bayley are going to take control of the women's division by ushering in a true Women's Revolution, and it starts with Paige. Sasha and Bayley set down their microphones and attacked Paige, the WWE Champion trying valiantly to defend herself. That led to RAW Women's Champion and Ms. Money in the Bank Alexa Bliss hitting the ring to make the save. Paige and Alexa were able to clear the ring of Sasha and Bayley, who retreated.
ROMAN REIGNS AND BRAUN STROWMAN ARE AMBUSHED: Backstage, RAW Tag Team Champions Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman were shown walking down a corridor as the former was set to take on Drew McIntyre in one-on-one competition next. However, the two were attacked by The Undisputed ERA. Adam Cole shoved Reigns into the wall while Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish targeted Strowman, specifically his right knee. Cole glanced at a nearby table with tools on it, taking a hammer. O'Reilly and Fish held down Strowman, allowing Cole to take the hammer to his kneecap! Cole repeatedly struck Strowman with the hammer before officials showed up to restrain the trio. When Strowman tried getting to his feet, his right knee gave out.
DREAM TEAM MATCH-UP IS SET: Returning from the commercial break, Mauro Ranallo informed the viewers that RAW General Manager Dario Cueto spoke with SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon to organize a special main event tag team match. For the first time in six months, Paige will compete here on RAW when she teams up with Alexa Bliss to take on Sasha Banks and Bayley.
1) DREW MCINTYRE DEF. ROMAN REIGNS with a Claymore Kick. All throughout the match,Reigns looked over his shoulder, keeping an eye out for The Undisputed ERA after the trio successfully took out Braun Strowman moments ago. When Reigns was in motion for the Spear, McIntyre drilled him with a Claymore Kick to secure the victory. Post-match, McIntyre grabbed a microphone and said that while Derrick Bateman isn't here tonight, it's his understanding that 'The God of The New Era' wants a rematch with him at Payback. "If you didn't get the message last week, Derrick, then maybe one, or two, or three, or four, or five more Claymores to your skull will finally teach you that Monday Night RAW is now MY show!" McIntyre vs. Bateman is set for Payback in 13 days.
2) KILLIAN DAIN DEF. DASH WILDER with a Sit-out Chokebomb. With Sen Regieren catching the attention of The Revival, Dain got to make his in-ring debut on RAW with a win over Wilder. Scott Dawson took his tag team partner out of the ring following the match while Dain and Alexander Wolfe stood tall.
THE WYATT TRIBE MEMBERS ARE SET FOR A COLLISION: At this time, all members of The Wyatt Tribe - Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton and Pentagon - were called into Dario Cueto's office. The RAW General Manager informed the trio that because all of them were allowed to compete in Aztec Warfare at SummerSlam, he doesn't believe it would be fair to give them the same treatment for Manifest Destiny, which begins four weeks from tonight. He does want The Wyatt Tribe to have representation in the tournament, but it can only be through one of them. That's why at Payback, it's going to be a Triple Threat match. Wyatt vs. Orton vs. Pentagon. The winner will qualify for Manifest Destiny.
SMACKDOWN LIVE PREVIEW: The three teams set for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship Triangle Ladder match at Unforgiven will be put to the test in separate competition. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce vs. Chad Gable and Jason Jordan, CM Punk and TJ Perkins vs. Adrian Neville and Tyson Kidd, and SmackDown Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn vs. The Usos. Plus, Roderick Strong looks to prove himself in a non-title match against Cruiserweight Champion Johnny Gargano.
AJ STYLES ATTEMPTS TO BAPTIZE ALEISTER BLACK: In the ring, a bowl of holy water was shown sitting on a podium as AJ Styles' entrance music sounded. The Universal Champion made his way down to the ring, dressed up as a priest for what he promised to be the baptism of his opponent at Payback, Aleister Black. Styles thanked the WWE Universe for being witnesses to the moment that Black's life changes forever. "I ask that you, Aleister, join me in this ring now so that we can help save you and hand your life over to Christ." A few seconds passed before Black's entrance music sounded, 'The Dutch Destroyer' making his usual entrance rising from the ground. Black slowly walked into the ring, Styles offering to shake his hand before beginning the sacred ritual. Black took a microphone and asked Styles if he's been this way all his life. "Have you always been a religious zealot who tries forcing his beliefs onto others? Or was this something that just clicked in you recently because for as long as I can remember, the name 'AJ Styles' has been synonymous with talent, passion, a good work ethic, and the best professional wrestler in the world. You were someone who I could honestly say I respected... but after what you said about me last week, every ounce of admiration I had for you as in-ring performer died after you showed your true character. Depression isn't something that you play with, Styles. You don't get to say that God gave it to me as punishment just because that fits your narrative. How do your friends and family feel knowing that you're using religion as an excuse to be a vile human being?" Styles sounded off on Black, telling him that he doesn't get to speak on behalf of anyone in his life. "You want to know how my family feels?! They're proud of me! They're proud that I'm no longer afraid to wear my heart on my sleeve and preach the gospel to the world! I am the happiest I've ever been, and it's all because I've let God take control of my life. And I guarantee that you'll feel the same way if you give your own life to him! You want to stop suffering from depression?! Then let God lead the way!" Styles' comments caused Black to kick the bowl of holy water off the podium before going after the Universal Champion with forearm strikes! Black ran the ropes for a running knee strike, only for Styles to level him with the title. "You want to defy God?! You want to speak blasphemously?!" Styles shouted at the staggering Black. Styles stepped out onto the ring apron, going for the Phenomenal Forearm. However, Black caught him in mid-air with Black Mass! Styles was laid out as Black took the Universal Championship, holding it high above his head in a sight that very well could be repeated at Payback.
BUDDY MURPHY TRIES TO INTIMIDATE ALEXA BLISS: In the locker room area, RAW Women's Champion and Ms. Money in the Bank Alexa Bliss was shown on her phone when she heard someone walking into the room while slapping a championship's plate, assuming it was Paige with the WWE Championship. Instead, Alexa turned around to be met by the new Hardcore Champion, Buddy Murphy. 'The Juggernaut' told Alexa that she can find all the back-up she wants and put on the 'tough girl' act, but the fact of the matter is that Payback isn't going to be the celebratory night she's expecting. She isn't going to be able to beat both himself and Sasha Banks just to hold three championships. "You'll have to accept the fact that you know down deep in your heart, but aren't willing to admit: Emma. Is. Better. Than. You." Alexa had to keep her cool and not lash out at Murphy, which was helped by Paige, who stepped in between the two of them. Paige stared down Murphy, her eyes essentially telling him that his problem with Alexa can easily turn into her problem with him if he isn't careful.
THE MIZ'S BERATING OF MATANZA HAS ITS CONSEQUENCES: The Miz walked into the office of RAW General Manager Dario Cueto, asking what 'El Jefe' wanted to speak to him about. "Wait, don't answer that. I know what it is. You want to give me a raise. Sir, I am very, very humbled to know that you value me so much here on Monday Night RAW. But I mean, why wouldn't you? Wait... no, that's not it! You want to revert Monday Night RAW back to a three-hour show and dedicate one full hour to Miz TV!" The excited Miz quickly had his elevated mood dispersed when Dario told him the real reason why he called him into his office: At Payback, he'll be going one-on-one with the man he's spent the last two weeks making an enemy out of, 'The Monster' Matanza Cueto.
3) UNITED STATES CHAMPION SETH ROLLINS & DANIEL BRYAN DEF. KEVIN OWENS & HARDCORE CHAMPION BUDDY MURPHY via Curb Stomp to Murphy. A homecoming for Rollins in the state of Iowa as the United States Champion managed to put away Murphy and secure the victory for his team. While Owens headed up the entrance ramp post-match, Bryan stared down 'The Prizefighter' before he turned around and walked right into a Superkick from Rollins! 'The Architect' was able to get back at Bryan for last week's Busaiku Knee while the Iowa audience went wild for one of their own.
4) FINN BALOR DEF. KYLE O'REILLY via Coup de Grace. When Adam Cole and Bobby Fish attempted to get involved on behalf of their Undisputed ERA stablemate, RAW Tag Team Champion Roman Reigns ran out to ringside, Spearing Fish! Cole managed to get away unscathed through the audience, all while Balor finished off O'Reilly in the ring to get a measure of revenge for his NXT Championship loss back in April.
5) RANDY ORTON & PENTAGON DEF. MUSTAFA ALI & SOFIA CORTEZ via Pentagon Driver. to Ali. With the news that all three Wyatt Tribe members will battle in a Triple Threat match at Payback for a spot in Manifest Destiny, tension could be sensed in the air for them. Despite that, Orton was able to Dropkick Ali out of the air during a Crossbody attempt. When 'The Viper' began coiling for the RKO, Pentagon tagged himself in, taking advantage of the opening to defeat Ali. Pentagon gave the 'Cero Miedo' hand gesture to the camera before being turned around by Orton. The two met face-to-face while Bray Wyatt watched from ringside, knowing that he couldn't intervene this time because in 13 days, both Orton and Pentagon will be his opponents.
ROMAN REIGNS MUST INSTILL HIS TRUST IN FINN BALOR FOR A PAYBACK CHALLENGE: Backstage, RAW Tag Team Champion Roman Reigns was shown walking down a corridor when he was approached by RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon, who delivered the news to him that Braun Strowman has a patellar fracture, or a broken kneecap in simpler terms. "This directly conflicts with a match I was going to set for Payback, which was a RAW Tag Team Championship defense against The Undisputed ERA. However, instead of just stripping Braun and yourself of the Tag Team Titles, I couldn't help but notice that you seemed to work very well out there tonight with Finn Balor. That's why I have decided that at Payback, Balor will be your partner in the RAW Tag Team Title match against Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish."
6) WWE CHAMPION PAIGE & RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPION AND MS. MONEY IN THE BANK ALEXA BLISS DEF. SASHA BANKS & BAYLEY via Twisted Bliss to Bayley. A special attraction match as SmackDown Live's WWE Champion Paige competed in RAW for the first time in six months, and the first time altogether since her SummerSlam match with AJ Lee. When Bayley tried for an Avalanche Vertical Suplex, Alexa was able to shove her onto the canvas. Sasha ran into the ring, but was immediately drilled with the Antithesis from Paige! Alexa delivered Twisted Bliss to Bayley, the RAW Women's Champion and Ms. Money in the Bank picking up the win for the dream team of herself and Paige. While the two stood tall with their respective championships to close the show, Paige fell forward, landing in Alexa's arms. Alexa gently set Paige down onto the mat, realizing that the WWE Champion was unconscious. The ringside doctor tended to Paige while officials showed up to do the same, the realization setting in that the blow Paige took to the head from Peyton Royce over the weekend set her health back more than anyone had anticipated. |

"New Romantics" by Hands Like Houses
A hopeless romantic, self-medicated on reality;
A misunderstanding is all that anyone can see in me
Pulling up the floor to go deeper down
Tearing at the soil to find the ground
I’m trying to find myself
Coming back to the same words to try to tell a different story
I’m farther from myself
Coming back to the same words, in hope they come alive without me
A moment’s reflection has given me a second chance to heal;
A loss of connection in matching up my words to how I feel
I’ve taken on too much, empty pages on the floor
Tearing volumes from the shelf to find what I’ve been looking for...
Then it hit me
Well, I haven’t changed. I’m still the same man I was before
Well, I haven’t changed, I’m still the same man I was, just trying to find myself…
I’m trying to find myself, coming back to the same words
I’m farther from myself, coming back to the same words
Tuesday September 2nd, 2014
Allie: "I did it. I'm the main event. I have Paige's spot after all this time."
Condron: "First off, Becky's in the main event as well. Second, you only have that spot at Unforgiven because I recorded Paige's fight with Peyton. When you think about it, you owe all of this to me, so it's only fair that in return, you confirm for me that it was indeed The Iconic Duo who you vented to after SummerSlam about Paige.
Allie: "If I could, I would, but the truth is that it wasn't The Iconic Duo."
Receiving word that her Inferno match with Becky Lynch will be the main event of Unforgiven, Allie was elated. For the first time in what felt like ages, she was genuinely happy over something. She took Billie Kay, Peyton Royce, Sami Zayn, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and TJ Perkins out of their main event spot. Perhaps more satisfying was the knowledge that she was in the spot that Paige undoubtedly would have taken had she been medically cleared to compete next Saturday in Nashville. She acknowledged that without Condron providing video evidence of Peyton punching Paige at the hospital, then SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon never would have been able to reach this conclusion. However, Condron was still persistent on pinning the crime for the attack after SummerSlam on Billie and Peyton, but Allie had to break the truth to him.
Condron: "You said that you overheard Billie and Peyton talking about Paige in the locker room after SummerSlam."
Allie: "They were, but then they left and didn't come back. Instead, there were two other girls who heard me crying and decided to check on me. I was so shocked that they somehow gave a s*** about me enough to try and cheer me up."
Condron: "... And you think those women attacked Paige?"
Allie: "It's the only answer that makes any sense to me. I could tell by the looks on their faces that everything I was saying about Paige resonated with them. They felt as much anger and resentment for her in that moment as I did."
Condron: "... If I got into contact with them and said that I heard from an anonymous source - that being you, of course - that there's incriminating evidence against them, do you think they'd be willing to testify against Billie and Peyton for me in exchange for a cover-up?"
Allie: "Honestly, they'd probably take it. They're in no position right now to have their public image be defaced. It would ruin their lives."
Condron: "Perfect. F***ing excellent. Alright, now who were the women?"
Allie: "What?"
Condron: "The women who you think really attacked Paige, who are they?"
Allie: "... Condron, I'm extremely thankful for you exposing Peyton Royce so that I could get into the main event of Unforgiven, but this doesn't mean that I'm going to help you in this investigation. You're the investigator, after all. I think you're smart enough to figure it out."
Condron: "... Allie, I am this close to getting the guilty verdict for The Iconic Duo that I need. If you want me to beg for the answer, then I'll do it. But please, help me."
Allie: "... ... ..."
Allie had to think it over about whether or not she wanted to assist Condron any further. She wasn't willing to outright tell him the identities of the women she believed attacked Paige... but she also felt that a hint would be more than enough to pay back Condron and set him on the right path.
Condron: "... ... ..."
Allie: "I can't just give you their names because I'm not part of the investigation. I can't be hands-on with this. I'm just a spectator looking on."
Condron: "Okay..."
Allie: "I guess... I guess what I'm saying is that I can look, but I can't touch." |

Friday Night SmackDown October 26th, 2012
PAIGE VS. NIKKI BELLA W/ BRIE BELLA NEVER BEGAN: It was clear that the "Anti Diva" wasn't looking for a wrestling match upon entering the ring. Before the bell could sound, Paige took Nikki down and delivered relentless shots. Brie tried to intervene on her sister's behalf, but Paige also delivered a beating as she sent her flying out of the ring. Paige grabbed Brie by her hair and repeatedly bashed her face against the announce table. Nikki tried to come to her twin's aid, but Paige got a hold of her as well and tossed her into Brie, both Bella twins sliding over the announce table. The official had to restrain Paige, who screamed at him before resuming her attack on the Bella Twins.
Monday Night RAW
October 29th, 2012
PAIGE DEF. NIKKI BELLA W/ BRIE BELLA: After failing to capture the Divas Championship last night, Paige was given the opportunity to release all of her frustrations out on one half of the Bella Twins, the duo that she brutally assault last Friday night on SmackDown. When the two attempted to pull off Twin Magic, Paige caught them in the act. She threw Brie into the barricade before searching under the ring and pulling Nikki out by her hair. She tossed Nikki back into the ring, where she delivered a Paige Turner to grab the victory.
Monday Night RAW
November 5th, 2012
HANDICAP MATCH - PAIGE DEF. THE BELLA TWINS: The crowd here in Birmingham came unglued for England’s own Paige once her entrance music hit. As the “Anti Diva” prepares to put her career on the line against Eve’s Divas Championship at Survivor Series, Summer Rae was able to stack the odds against her in her “home coming” match. After Paige Suplexed Brie Bella onto Nikki, she locked Brie in the Texas Cloverleaf for the submission victory.
Monday Night RAW
December 31st, 2012
Cutting back to the arena, the Bella Twins were shown in the ring. Brie mentioned that last week, she was unable to attend RAW due to being in a very special meeting. "Later in the week, I had a meeting of my own for this matter," added Nikki before the two of them revealed their surprise to the WWE Universe. "We're getting a reality show!" they said simultaneously to boos. "'Total Divas' will be coming to you this Summer. Yes, there will be other Divas involved, but obviously, Brie and I are the stars and the ones who everyone will be tuning in to see," said Nikki. The announcement from the twins was then interrupted by Divas Champion, Paige. The crowd roared for the "Anti Diva" as she stormed down to the ring. "Get out," said a very angered Paige. Nikki attempted to confront her, saying that this Brie and her's time. "I understand that you're jealous of the fact that we have a reality show on the way, but you need to show us some resp-" at that moment, Paige grabbed Nikki by her hair and delivered a headbutt! "I said the get the hell out!!" screamed Paige as Brie quickly exited the ring out of fear. |

September 3rd, 2014 | Episode 021 | "Pain"
1) PETE DUNNE DEF. MARK HASKINS IN A UK SHOWCASE MATCH via the Bitter End. Over the next few weeks, the six participants in the Ladder Match at Unison for the WWE United Kingdom Championship will be pitted against each other in singles competition. Tonight, it was Dunne and Haskins squaring off with 'The Bruiserweight' coming out on top. Next week, Marty Scurll and Will Ospreay bring their rivalry from PROGRESS Wrestling over to Full Sail University.
2) MANDY ROSE DEF. VEDA SCOTT via Double Underhook Facebuster. With the NXT women's division certain to heat up soon once participants in the Queen of the Ring tournament make their way over to the brand, Mandy was able to get a head start on her momentum as NXT's 'Golden Goddess' picked up a win.
NEXT WEEK: A 15-man Battle Royal takes place for an opportunity at Bobby Roode's NXT Championship at Unison, and Tom Phillips was able to confirm for the viewers at home every superstar who will be in action. Lars Sullivan, The Velveteen Dream, Ricochet, Uhaa Nation, Fenix, Kalisto, Angelico, CJ Parker, Magnus, Tino Sabbatelli, Riddick Moss, Eric Young, Jimmy Havoc, Darby Allin and Tommaso Ciampa.
KOTA IBUSHI SPEAKS OUT ON KENNY OMEGA'S BETRAYAL: At this time, Charly Caruso conducted an in-ring interview with Kota Ibushi, translated by Funaki. Charly's first question was if Ibushi believed there were any signs of the possibility that Omega would feel betrayed by losing the Five Pack Challenge at TakeOver: MSG. When Ibushi gave his answer to Funaki, the latter said that for as long as Ibushi has known Omega, he's been aware of his "dark" side that tends to be brought out when faced with adversity. What hurts Ibushi more is that he didn't even win the NXT Championship, yet Omega decided that losing one match was enough to break their partnership. Charly then asked if Ibushi feels mentally prepared to take on Omega at Unison in just a few weeks. Ibushi's answer was that by the time he steps into Dario Cueto's Temple, he'll be as ready as he possibly can. He's faced - and defeated - Omega before, but this time, it's different. They're not fighting to see who is the best among them. They're fighting because Omega's jealousy and bitterness brought them to this point. As much as it broke Ibushi's heart that Omega betrayed him in Madison Square Garden, having no choice but to put him down at Unison will hurt even more.
3) RICOCHET & UHAA NATION DEF. THE VELVETEEN DREAM & LIV MORGAN TO RETAIN THE NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS via 630 Senton to Liv. Dream and Liv represented 423-GET-FAME in this NXT Tag Team Title opportunity, Fenix and Kalisto choosing to stay in the back and not offer support for their stablemates. After Uhaa planted Dream with a Running Powerslam, Famous B pulled on the official's leg to break the count. Ricochet responded with a Shooting Star Press to the outside onto Famous B, all while Dream made the tag to Liv. In came 'The Girl' with a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors to Uhaa, who tagged in Ricochet. Liv attempted a Stinger Splash to Uhaa, only for him to move out of the way and cause her to crash into a forearm from Ricochet. 'The One and Only' climbed to the top rope for a 630 Senton, delivering it to Liv to retain the championships. During Ricochet and Uhaa's post-match celebration, the entrance music of Jinder Mahal sounded. 'The Modern Day Maharaja' walked out onto the stage in an arm sling, showing the injury suffered in Madison Square Garden that he blames the NXT Tag Team Champions for. Ricochet and Uhaa challenged Mahal to get into the ring, but suddenly, the two were ambushed from behind by two much larger men in SWAT-inspired attires. The two mysterious men threw Ricochet and Uhaa around the ring before hoisting them up for Powerbombs, crashing Ricochet and Uhaa's backs against each other before pummeling them to the canvas. Mahal finally entered the ring, standing tall with the unknown debuting team while keeping his promise to show Ricochet and Uhaa what real pain feels like.

September 3rd, 2014 | Episode 006 | "Queen Slayer"
1) DAKOTA KAI DEF. SANTANA GARRETT via running Yakuza Kick against a corner. Two favorites among the Full Sail audience provided one of the most back-and-forth matches of the tournament thus far, but ultimately, Dakota was able to put Santana away to solidify her spot in the semi-finals live next week on the WWE Network.
NEXT WEEK: In the live finale of the Queen of the Ring tournament, Asuka takes on Ruby Riott in one of the two semi-final matches. We know that the other match will feature Dakota Kai, and her opponent will be decided momentarily. Who will take the last spot in the final four of the Queen of the Ring?
2) CHARLOTTE FLAIR DEF. CANDICE LERAE with the Figure Eight. After taking Charlotte down to the canvas with a Tornado DDT, Candice transitioned into the Gargano Escape, the submission maneuver of her husband. Charlotte managed to get her left foot on the bottom rope, Candice breaking the hold to bring her closer to the center of the ring. Candice soared through the air with a Lionsault, though Charlotte evaded it. When Candice landed, she tweaked her ankle, giving Charlotte the perfect opening to connect with a Big Boot. Charlotte applied what was initially the Figure Four Leg Lock before bridging into the Figure Eight! Candice submitted, giving Charlotte the final spot in the semi-finals for next week's live finale.
What started off as a field of 16 has been cut down to just four. Charlotte Flair, Dakota Kai, Ruby Riott and Asuka. Who will be named WWE's first-ever Queen of the Ring?
