Before the Bell: Royals at War Post-PPV (EP. 02)

Kelsey Ollander: Can you believe it? We are here tonight at the Sydney fairgrounds live here in Sydney Australia, for what has turned out to be a historic night for the Queens of Absolution and the VIXENS as the Queens make their FCBA debut in the ring tonight. We have the entire Queens here for the roundtable after the matches they've had with the vixens tonight. It was close. It was amazing; you had to be here to see all the action. it came down to wire at 3 to 4 in favor of the VIXENS, but even so the Queens put up one hell of a fight as an opening ring debut. This was what the FCBA is about. This was an amazing day. With the great openings this was just a wonderful showcase of what boxing can be for the celebrity world, and we are here to talk with Amy Acker, Jennifer Morrison, Zooey Deschanel, Madelaine Petsch, Saraya, Janet Montgomery, Halston Sage, Krysten Ritter and Elyse Levesque, as well as Kelli Berglund. Everybody is here tonight and we are here exclusively with them post fight first.

Zooey Deschanel: I'm going to say it so Jen and Amy don't have to, but the other girls are probably aching from there matches in the ring, so I guess we'll start off.

Jennifer Morrison: (knods) Seems fair.

Kelsey Ollander: So Amy, let's take a moment and go back to when the Queens of Absolution was being formed and you and Zooey Deschanel were meeting with now, or at least at the time, all the tabloid magazines, and what not would call her the woman with the raven hair and pale skin, how far along did you all think you would get from going from these clandestine meetings with this mysterious woman, that we now know as Snow?

Amy Acker: Clandestine meetings - god, the press has a way of making it sound so secretive. Well, I guess in the way it was a secret, but the formation of the Queens and getting to here; that was something that I - I would think would happen, but I didn't think it would be the very first thing we would've done, however, that is what happened. It was the very first thing we did and from here there's only one way to go, and that is to bigger and better and I know just from looking around at all of you, you well, look excited to see what’s next. Even through those bruises.

Jennifer Morrison: (laughing) I've been there. Amy actually gave me those bruises.

Amy Acker: (nervously laughing) I did didn't I. Thankfully I was wearing gloves because my god Jen, you got some abs.

Jennifer Morrison: (sarcastically) That's what happens when you work out six days a week Amy.

Amy Acker: Jen, didn't you make it a condition when I asked you to join us that you could still box if you wanted to?

Jennifer Morrison: Yes I did but who am I putting down?

Zooey Deschanel: How about the Celebrity Wrestling Federation; I mean they just seem like such an easy target.

Amy Acker: I do you want to see Kelli or at least one of our new signees that I can't talk about quite yet until we announce them go up against Victoria Justice. I feel like knocking Victoria Justice down might be a little bit fun for our flyweights.

Kelsey Ollander: And with that, it brings up the fact that you all have made enemies and frienimies before even stepping into the ring. I will leave that one on the table for all of you.

Krysten Ritter: Oh, you mean like Jenny McCarthy? She just some bimbo blonde whose spewing sh*t. If she's lucky, I i will knock her out in the first round. If she's not lucky because I'm not in a good mood, I will drag it out and beat her to the canvas.

Elyse Levesque: OK Krysten, you really don't like Jenny at all. Get it out on the mat; don't let it spill over and turn into something like what's going on with Lily and Nessa or Lily and Emma. Jenny is not worth that, she does seem like some washed up has been.

Kelsey Ollander: It’s true what they say about the Queens, you don’t hold your punches.

Saraya: No, we don’t. Who the hell cares, if we have something to tell you we're going to tell you, and no matter what the girls at Lookout think, this is our house so it’s our rules.

Kelsey Ollander: Before we talk about tonight, let’s get a brief of what your plans are for 2023?

Amy Acker: Well going into 2023 I do you want to get those two new girls signed. As for the overall outlook for the stable, I know I think I want to have a tradition where we do this with the VIXENS every year as it seems like a fun way to end the year. In terms of what's going to happen in 2023, I’m sure others stables are looking at us and how we performed tonight and are thinking “OK how do we face off against the Queens” and we're ready to meet that challenge; and we will rise that challenge, so that is sort of where we stand at the moment, and make no mistake. We have challenges of our own that we are going to throw down and yes Michelle, I'm looking at you.

Zooey Deschanel: (laughing) I am forever personally tied to Amy. Those of you that have been in the FCBA for a while, know exactly what that means but I'm just joking; I love Amy these days and I'm not tied to her like that in any way anymore, but yeah, echoing Amy’s statements we have a lot planned for the stable and I think you all are going to like what we have in store.

Jennifer Morrison: And on top of that, I might hop into the ring!

Elyse Levesque: Well, I would personally want to take on Karen Gillan; I think she is almost like a perfect match and i mean, she’s built just right for someone like me to take on and also I'd probably take Jenny McCarthy on if she beats Krysten in their match and put Jenny into the ground. Not the way that sounded. Then also, I know this will never happen and it would be totally unfair, but it just occurred to me that I kind of want to take on the Pretty Little Punchers, and I don't think they have a single welterweight but they might, but like I want to take on the mainstay, like Troian, Belisario, and that would be an unfair fight for her in every fashion possible so it would never happen.

Kelli Berglund: I already asked Amy to make this happen: my good friend, or should I say my good long time friend Olivia Holt. Yeah, I heard she was a AMD title holder and flaunted it at one point but I think I need to show her a lesson in humility, even though she no longer has the title and I'm still trying to figure out how she got the title of abs of mass destruction. I mean look these are abs; what she has is not.

Saraya: I heard the girls at Lookout Boxing aren't a fan of me. Well I just want to make sure they aren't, so yeah, I think I'm gonna just pound it into them a little.

Krysten Ritter: Elyse and I have moves planned for the welterweight division next year. I will leave it at that.

Madelaine Petsch: Two words, Lili Reinhart you know my soon to be ex-costar from Riverdale. I always wanted to box her properly. And tonight’s not over between Alyssa Lynch and I (glares into the camera).

Halston Sage: I think I said this the last time we were together but Ashley Benson. Hopefully she's woman enough to be a challenge.

Janet Montgomery: I have a lot to make up for. I lost in four and everyone else went half way at least during this stable war so now I think people are gonna look at me as the weak link and try to target me so I'm definitely going to have to put up 110% in the coming months.

Kelsey Ollander: Which finally brings us to how do you all feel about tonight? How was the performance; I know you blew everybody away with the spectacular entrances. I don't know whose idea that was but that was amazing. Jennifer, you pulled off something spectacular that we have not seen in the FCBA. Just how do we all feel about our matches and where we stand? I know some of you have pay-per-view matches for December but just in general tell me how you all feel tonight; how you all did tonight; and anything like that.

Amy Acker: And girls feel free to be as straight as possible with people! We can clean it up in the press whenever if we want to. You have proven that Tess Valmore wrong so you have already made my day.

Zooey Deschanel: Please tell me that was not the bar you had going in, Ames?

Amy Acker: No, but I did want to shut her up to which we did!

Kelli Berglund: Well, I guess Nell was right about one thing, she wasn't going to go down to a complete rookie tonight, she was going down to a queen. I may have been nervous being the first one up for a match in the stable war, but after beating Nell, I wasn't nervous anymore. I mean I watched her being consoled in her corner after the fight was over, I watched the struggle to get to her feet as the ref counted, and it was just it was just so jubilant, I mean, I just remember running into the arms of Zooey and Amy before turning to everyone else in enthusiasm it was just a great opening performance.

Madelaine Petsch: Unfortunately, I wasn't as lucky as Kelli. I lost my match against Alyssa Lynch of all people. I mean, she's spent goods; I don't even know why the VIXENS still have her and then at the end, she was yelling triumphantly, like we are the ones that are going to bow down. No, no this isn't over between me and Alyssa it's just beginning; when it is over, she will be bending the knee.

That b*tch was down, and then she got up and somehow managed to give me this bruise and what will be a painfull jaw and mouth for the next few days.

Saraya: Everything that happened tonight Kyra had coming. I won't mix words about that, she asked for it at the presser she should've known that's what was going to happen. She was facing me after all. Like I have experience in professional wrestling, which some of that experience translates into boxing, not all of it, but it's not like I was some newcomer that she was going to be able the steam roll right over because I only had like one or two matches in the FCBA because I've only flirted with that. I mean, she really deserved what she got that humiliation she god, she deserved it in every way possible. And Pumpkin, if you’re watching, we can do it again sometime!

Janet Montgomery: Well, I had Luisana the first few rounds, but she fair and square got me and I was over eager. I need to spend more time in the gym practicing and have a rematch with her.

Halston Sage: Remember that whole thing about underestimating the naked pin-up model at my own peril? it looks like I didn't underestimate her at all. Well, I guess that has to come from having this great new stable; this multi million dollar enterprise behind you that supports you and is able to get you what you need to succeed in the FCBA.

Krysten Ritter: You know, I said the VIXENS have more talk than bite, but I think the only exception has to be Alexis. She has too, especially after what I to her at the presser and she still came out to face me and she actually won; she has my respect for that - just for that, but make no mistake, I intend to put Alexis down. That was a brutal match but no where near as cruel as Elyse’s.

Elyse Levesque: Well, thanks for that introduction Krysten!

Krysten Ritter: (laughing) Anytime.

Elyse Levesque: Well, as Krysten said, it was a brutal fight, but there was no true animosity between Hannah and I. I mean she was really technical, she was directly skilled and I can't fault her for that. She just got the better of me; she knew you had to take my agility, my flexibility and make me depend on my raw power and that's something we have to watch out for. It’s something that has gone through all of us is that we're all the same like that we are agile, flexible and raw power and if someone is really skilled enough like you Hannah, was, we could lose and that's no secret because that's on the table. It was broadcasted live and I was the one that got defeated, but they did get scared at the end when Krysten jumped into the ring. I think they seriously thought something was going to go down.

Krysten Ritter: (laughing) Who knows, it might have?

Kelsey Ollander: For Amy, any final words for tonight?

Amy Acker: Tonight doesn't feel like a loss. It feels like a new beginning and with that said who is next because there are plenty of stables and plenty of boxers that I think we’d like to get her hands on.

Kelsey Ollander: And with that said, we'd like to thank you for tuning into the special edition “Before the Bell: Royals at War” the post stable war edition. We also want to give a thank Lookout Boxing for assisting with the quick organization of the event and of course the VIXENS for being absolutely wonderful when it comes to the participation. To make it official, we want to say the vixens did win the stable war 4 to 3. From Sydney, Australia, I’m Kelsey Ollander, thank you to everyone and have a good night.
