Escalation: Hell In the Ring

The Queen’s Arena, Queens Complex, Los Angeles, California. It’s been used for fan events but not once for an actual FCBA event hosted by the Queens. Some could say it’s just simple set dressing to give fans an experience while others are hoping that one day it will be used for a fight night. In either case, tonight, the arena was full of Queens and FCBA fans all to hear Saraya and some very special guests.

As the lights shine on in the ring and the fog moves away, several women are revealed from the Queens of Absolution: Saraya standing center in a leather purple sports bra with black accents and underwear with black gloves and purple boots. Jess Bush at the upper left turnbuckle similarly in white. Amy Acker at the upper right similarly in black. Krysten Ritter in dark navy blue at the lower left. Finally, Bridget Satterlee similarly in dark green at the bottom right. All with microphones.

“We like to push boundaries here at the Queens,” Amy Acker began; “not something most stables do.” “We also like to punish our rivals” the blonde Acker stated more viciously.

“Oh, we like to punish our rivals, we like to crush them morally,” Saraya said. Saraya put one finger up, “In fact, we came up with an entire new match type for any rival brave enough to take us on.”

“It’s called Hell In the Ring,” Krysten stated. “And because we know you like to see us beat our rivals to a pulp, the challenge is against them to beat us because if they can do that in Hell In the Ring, then they’ve earned our respect.”

Bridget Satterlee began, “but for us, it’s retribution because girls like Eden Cohen cannot escape their fate.” Satterlee places her hand on her abs, “she’s still got a lot more of my abs to spend time with.”

Jess Bush continued, “the rules are simple: it’s a two on one handicap match - two Queens versus one rival with there being only two stipulations: the Queens can knock the rival out for a victory or the rival can knock the rival Queen out for a victory. Knockouts only with no referee interference.”

“That’s right, probably THE most brutal rules and while we talk about two Queens versus one rival, other stables can use this too!” Saraya pointed out.

“Oh, and we would not be here unless we had a few matches for our rivals in mind,” Saraya said confidently. “Whether they accept or hide is another thing entirely.”

Amy spoke first. “Elisha, your time is up! You got more than you bargained with when you touched me - Jess Bush and I are waiting for you”

The arena roared as it the collective audience chanted Amy’s name. When the crowd finally settled down, Saraya took over again.

“Stana Katic, you’re not a champion by any realm of the imagination and Krysten as well as Jess will prove that point. If you dare. No belt.”

“Finally, Eden Cohen, it’s time for retribution and hell to rain upon you. Bridget and I will take care of you if you so dare.”

Saraya finally finished by stating, “Elisha, Stana, Eden, if even one of you can beat this gauntlet you will have earned something greater than a belt: our respect.”
