Intro:
In a month this is Kendall Jenner's fourth fight in that time, fittingly then this is the fourth time Kendall and Yvonne Strahovski have fought, with Yvonne wanting to even the score up again in this highly charged contest.
In terms of in the ring, this rivalry begun back in 2018, at that time the seeds for this feud were firmly planted when Yvonne knocked out Kendall in the eighth round to take Kendall's lightweight title, showing who was the boss at that stage in their careers.
Since then though Kendall has firmly took control of the rivalry, paying Yvonne back with a brutal knockout last year in the eighth, then April this year Kendall took out Strahovski in just seven rounds to go two to one up.
Outside the ring has always been interesting, there have been moments where both have seemed able to coexist, like when the Eggnog wrestling was taking place over the Christmas periods in the past few years, the trigger this year though seems to be Kendall's own flesh and blood Kylie joining the Lookout! Stable.
What you would think would be a private matter quickly turned into a public one as Kendall and Kylie came to verbal blows, even threatening to batter each other if they time come that stepped into the ring together, you may ask "how does Yvonne fit into all that?" Kendall made it clear as she spoke to Lucy Liu on the FCBA Network set couch.
Wearing a red dress that showed off her long legs, Kendall looked down right furious as she told Lucy "I am sick of those Lookout bytches, Yvonne I hear now thinks she can be a mentor to my sister Kylie, when I know for a fact she will stab her in the back the first chance she gets!" Clenching her fists as her eyes stare hard ahead.
"I have never liked Yvonne as it is, I tolerated her in the past but her trying to pretend she now cares about my sister, sucking my sister Kylie into their bulls***! I am going to make her suffer and teach her if she hurts Kylie, she knows I will punish her" says Kendall looking down right furious, been in a bad mood all month taking on those who she has a bitter rivalries with.
When Lucy asks if maybe this is to do with Kendall being jealous maybe that Kylie seems to have found a new "family" in the Lookout! Stable, Kendall shakes her head mumbling "what a load of bull..." Ripping the microphone off her bust, storming off the set as clearly that is a touchy subject.
Yvonne meanwhile instead stays where she seems most at home lately, working out in the Lookout! Gym on the heavy bag, looking like she is taking her anger out on it as she bangs in some vicious hooks as new FCBA Network reporter Layla Abby-Lee comes over with a camera crew.
Stopping so she can give Layla a few words, when asked for her opinion on the fight, Yvonne leans on the bag with her left arm, wiping her brow with her right arm before answering "how am I feeling, I am sick of Kendall and her high school crap, I mean Christ Kendall rung up Nicole spitting insults, nobody insults my manger, my stable and certainly not me, especially because you are having a f***ing tantrum" shoving the heavy bag with her left in annoyance seemingly remembering that call, heading to get a drink.
After taking a gulp of energy drink, Yvonne tells Layla "to me this has always been purely about competition, I am a hall of famer, a multiple time lightweight champion, if Kendall wants to make this personal then she has to understand I take no prisoners, she'll be crawling back to her stable wondering what she has unleashed because she isn't going to modelling for a while once I deal with her" Layla nodding as Yvonne heads off to go see her coaches to get some sparring.
Fight night, out first through the curtain comes Kendall with coach Gisele Bundchen and cut woman Eva Carneiro, it'll be interesting to see how she is holding up after all these fights over the holiday period, she is looking in the zone as she marches down the aisle, eyes locked on the ring as her coach follows behind her.
The American model is wearing a silver sports bra, matching trunks and shoes, white gloves, while her hair is also in a ponytail, stepping into the ring, she heads straight to her corner, thudding her gloves together as she stares out up the aisle, wanting Yvonne to get her arse out there now.
She doesn't have to wait long as Yvonne shoves through the curtain and is on her way down the aisle, banging her own gloves together as her coach Nicole Kidman is following her, to think two weeks ago Yvonne was in a respectful bout with Kendall's stablemate Dua Lipa, tonight is as polar opposite to that as it could come.
The Aussie actress is wearing a black sports bra, black trunks with a gold waistband with her surname on the front in silver letters, black shoes with gold trim, gold gloves, her hair is tied into a ponytail as she steps into the ring.
Yvonne stares at Kendall as she jogs to her corner, the tension can be seen as the crowd is yelling for their favourite, Yvonne bouncing on her toes as she looks to keep herself loose, Nicole telling her to teach Kendall not to mess with their stable.
The fighters come together at the center of the ring, bumping bodies as the referee has to step between them, shoving these two heated enemies apart before the punches come early, neither saying a word but the looks they are giving each other tells a story.
Asked to touch gloves when things seem to calm down, they ignore the request as they return back to their corners instead, fists raised as they stand ready to go, referee nods to the timekeeper to ring the bell to start 10 rounds of lightweight action.
Round 1:
Coming off the starting blocks quickly, Kendall looks to have caught Yvonne off guard with her straight forwards aggression, used to seeing Kendall feel her way into fights, it looks like the angry brunette is using her aggression to fuel her.
Yvonne gets hit with a left across her jaw, a straight knocks her head back as she finds herself uncharacteristically trying to find a way in to the fight this early, driven back around the outside of the ring by punches aimed right at her stunning face.
After a frantic opening minute of pure swinging, Kendall gives Yvonne an opening as she misses with a right hook, the Hall of Famer doesn't need a second invite to strike as she counters with a right onto the lips of her opponent, a left follows to the cheek of the brunette.
Getting on the gas pedal now, Yvonne is working back Kendall with her head down, hooks working the body of the lanky fighter, trying to wear her out as Jenner seems a bundle of emotion energy tonight, groans escaping the lips of Kendall as she back tracks.
Late in the round Kendall digs a right into the stomach of Yvonne, her follow up left hook looks close to the back of the blondes head, the referee can't call it as they are on the opposite side, it allows Kendall to come roaring back as Yvonne covers up after being turned around, Strahovski's back touching the ropes in the dying seconds of the round.
At the bell Kendall throws another two punches that luckily don't connect, the referee needing to hold her back as she looks to not care about winning or losing, just hurting Yvonne as Gisele has to pull her back to her corner, referee along with Gisele warning Kendall to keep this a boxing fight, Kendall looks to be seething as she stares at Yvonne.
Round 2:
Kendall just isn't herself right now, again trying to bull rush Yvonne but this time it is too predictable, Yvonne showing her class to sidestep to the left out the way of a right hook, then landing a right of her own to the ear of Jenner.
The rage of Kendall is making her sloppy, Yvonne dodging with easily as she is loading up too much on her punches, the actress then piling the pressure on with a left/right cross combo that knocks Kendall's head side to side.
Maybe knocking a little sense into the younger woman, who covers up as Yvonne comes on the front foot, burying her fists into the toned abs of Jenner, making her groan out as she works her over to her corner, where Nicole taunts Kendall "this is why your sister joined us!" Trying to keep Kendall angry and sloppy.
Pushing Yvonne to get out the corner, Kendall is throwing more jabs now to keep Strahovski back, it looks a little lax though, allowing Yvonne to bat it aside so she can land a left across the cheek, bullying Kendall against the ropes with more body work coming in.
Clinching up with Yvonne, Kendall is hissing at her as she grits her gumshield, Yvonne looking the epitome of focus, not bothered what is up with Kendall, focusing on pinning her to the ropes with her head under her chin to make it uncomfortable.
Once they are apart there isn't long left in the round, Kendall getting in a few good jabs and straights to match Yvonne up, the bell rings with Kendall sitting on her stool with an almost confused look, Gisele gives her a slap across her face to the shock of Eva, yelling "stop acting like a f***ing moron! Yvonne is a world class fighter! Leave the sibling drama at home and box Yvonne's head off!" Kendall stares hard at Gisele but looks refocused as she nods at her in response.
Round 3:
After an all action start to the last two rounds, it is a bit of a shock to see both fighters revert to something looking like a boxing match, touching each other up with stiff jabs and straights, getting their range as Yvonne is having to read Kendall's new movements.
As Kendall tries to step in with a straight, she gets a reminder how good Yvonne really is; slipping the punch, the Aussie fires back with an uppercut that rocks back Jenner, a left hook follows that doesn't land flush, it does force Kendall to retreat back.
Smelling there is blood in the water, Yvonne gets inside the reach of Kendall to bang her back into a neutral corner, slamming several clean punches between her opponent's mitts into her face, causing her fans to stand as they roar her on.
Pulling Strahovski into a tight clinch, Jenner shakes her head as she was definitely rocked there by Yvonne, who tries to break free and ends up nearly headbutting Kendall in the process, referee warning both fighters to keep it clean after they are split apart.
Kendall doesn't seem able to get out her own way, missing a few times that leads to Yvonne counter punching her across her face, the American covering up as she hides behind her gloves, letting Yvonne hunt her down around the ring.
The round ends with Gisele shaking her head in disbelief, across the ring Nicole has a grin that could light up any room she enters, she is loving watching Yvonne strut her stuff so far tonight, Yvonne all business as all she cares about is a win.
Round 4:
Tapping her cheeks before she comes out her corner, almost as a way to wake herself up, Kendall is moving more then before, Yvonne the one coming on the hunt as she feels that if she keeps pressuring Kendall she'll finally wilt.
But she is being met with a jab that looks much better then what she has been taking, Kendall seems to have finally gotten out her emotions, she looks laser focused as she jams more punches firmly into the face of her opponent.
As they enter the second minute, Yvonne just misses with an overhand right, an uppercut lands square on her chin to tilt her head up, A LEFT HOOK TO THE JAW SENDS YVONNE DOWN TO HER LEFT SIDE!
What a stunning knockdown out of nowhere, Kendall jogs to the neutral corner as Kidman looks wide eyed! 1...2...3...4.. Yvonne shakes her head as she turns to all fours, 5...6...7.. Pushing up to her right knee, 8... Yvonne gets to her feet thudding her gloves together to show her annoyance.
The referee checks and let's Yvonne continue, Kendall comes on the attack now but is met with a head on attack by the blonde, both nearly clash heads as they rip into each other with fury, snarls head when neither is groaning from being hit.
Taking a step back to dodge a left cross, Kendall smacks a double jab into her face late on in the round, a right cross cuts the bottom lip of Yvonne, who looks to the heavens when the bell rings as if to ask what just happened?
Round 5:
The fans are gripped by the fight, the fighters letting their hands go in some crunching combos, boxing at midrange as they show their class, punches perfectly put together around or through gaps in guards.
A left hook catches Yvonne on her jaw, with a right landing on her chin to send sweat flying off her, Kendall piling the pressure on herself now as she knocks back her rival, opening up that cut bottom lip again.
The right hook of Kendall is finding a home more as the round goes on, Yvonne leaving herself open too much trying to get back at the model, getting smacked back towards the ropes after eating two crisp uppercuts through her guard.
Now Strahovski has to clinch up, their glistening toned bodies bumping together as the venomous insults are spat into ears, referee struggles to break them apart as they looked gripped in trying to prove whose stronger.
When they are free to work again, Kendall beats Yvonne to the punch with a quick one-two combo through to the bloody lips, Yvonne finding herself needing to cover up as seconds tick away to the bell.
The round ends with Yvonne needing a pep talk from Nicole, who can't believe Yvonne is not being able to close this show by now, across the ring tempers seem to have calmed down, Gisele still makes it a point to tell Kendall to keep doing the best she can, anything less is not good enough tonight.
Round 6:
Fighting more on the inside as they start off the round, Yvonne looks to be trying to force the issue more after a terrible last two rounds, going back to the body work that is making Kendall grimace as she backs off.
That early charge seems to be starting to back fire somewhat on Kendall, Yvonne's matching her work rate again as Kendall is putting together only two to three punches in a combo, sometimes not even that as they box around the ring.
Starting to hold Yvonne more, some are wondering if Kendall is needing to refill the tanks, after all the fighting she has done, all the emotional turmoil she has had, is it biting her now in this fight?
Yvonne certainly isn't giving her room to breath, stalking after the younger fighter, forcing the heated exchanges as Kendall keeps backing off from her, the crowd getting more behind Strahovski as she is the one being aggressive.
But as the round enters it's final thirty seconds, maybe it was a ploy by Jenner as she slips a right to bang in a straight to the body, then a left lands flush across the chin of the Lookout! Fighter, Yvonne finds herself knocked back against a neutral corner as Kendall lands four beautiful straight punches into her face.
The round ends with Yvonne rubbing her bloody lips as Kendall's chest is rising faster, both women glare at each other as the referee stands close in case it kicks off, instead Kendall let's Yvonne past as she returns to her corner first.
Round 7:
Both fighters are certainly not in their best shape right now, Yvonne is getting jabbed square into her face when Kendall can get on her back, Yvonne is hurting Kendall to the body when she can get in closer.
Pressing back Kendall to the ropes near the end of the first minute, Yvonne gets clinched up after she busts open the bottom lip of her opponent, kidneys are hit with short sharp digs by both fighters as the referee is needed again to pry these heated enemies apart.
Working again around the ring, Yvonne misses with a left hook and takes a straight to her chest that makes her hiss out, a left cross smacks her across the jaw as Kendall is boxing nicely off the back foot.
Less then a minute to go now, both are wincing when they get hit cleanly, especially to those busted lips as they seem to have a target firmly painted on them, neither showing the other an ounce of mercy as they really wanna hurt each other badly.
A missed overhand right leaves Yvonne open, Kendall slams a jab square into the side of her face, THEN AN UPPERCUT LANDS TO SEND STRAHOVSKI DOWN TO HER BACK! THE CROWD IS ON ITS FEET!
Resting against the turnbuckles in the neutral corner, Kendall watches keenly as 1...2...3....4.. Yvonne slowly turns to her front, 5...6...7.. Blinking as she crawls to the ropes, 8... Grabbing them, 9... She beats the count barely, referee making sure Yvonne is OK as she walks to them, nodding they want to continue.
Luckily for her the bell rings literally seconds later, Yvonne looks a little unsteady as she turns to her corner, Nicole working hard to try to get Yvonne ready for the next round, they can't believe this is how things are turning out after that strong start.
Across the ring Kendall nearly looks to be running on fumes, Gisele massaging her limbs as Eva works on her lips, all hands on deck to get Kendall ready for the next round, ready they hope to end this before she hasn't the strength to do it.
Round 8:
It's clear as they start trading that Yvonne hasn't gotten her feet back firmly under her yet, Kendall's jabs are landing flush to snap her head back, while she shakes a little with each clean hit, missing with her own punches in reply.
Till Kendall feints with a jab, Yvonne shuts up shop up top, a right smacks into her solar plexus to make the Aussie gasp, AS THE GUARD OPENS UP KENDALL LANDS FLUSH WITH A STRAIGHT THAT SENDS STRAHOVSKI DOWN TO HER BACK!
Laying spread eagle on the canvas with glassy eyes as the count begins, 1...2...3...4.. Yvonne is barely moving as Kendall is resting in the neutral corner, 5...6...7.. Nicole banging on the ring apron, yelling at her fighter to get up, doing anything she can to make sure this isn't the end, 8...9...10 but it is! Yvonne doesn't beat the count!
Winner Kendall Jenner KO Round 8
After:
An emotional month for Kendall ends with her on her knees sobbing, happily for her they are tears of joy as she celebrates knocking out Yvonne, this was far from her best performance with that bad start, the way she roared back though has to give her hope for her future.
Kidman meanwhile rushes into the ring to check on Yvonne, tapping her cheeks lightly to see if anybody is home, Yvonne blinks but can't find the strength to get up, telling her trainer "f***.." Is all she can say right now.
Over comes Kendall as she has a bone to pick with Nicole and Yvonne, slipping her gloves off before she shoves Nicole down, yelling "don't you dare mention my sister to me, I'll f***ing end you!" All that emotion rushing back as Gisele has to rush to pull back Kendall.
Nicole is up to her feet yelling at Gisele "keep your bytch on a leash Gisele!" Which makes the Brazilian start yelling back at her as security has been ordered by the FCBA committee in the ring to hold back these two camps before things turn ugly.
Sitting on her stool, Kendall cries into her hands, admitting "I nearly let Kylie and those fights with the Fate's girls get to me, it's been a long month" as Gisele pulls Kendall up by her right hand into a tight embrace, acting like a motherly figure to the younger model, telling her it will be all OK.
All the while Yvonne is finally on her stool after help from medics, getting checked over by the doctor, they seem thankfully to think she will be OK, though to make sure they want her helped out the ring, Nicole with help from one of the medics is able to get Yvonne safely out the ring.
A sight Kendall will not want to see if she watches this fight back is who comes out to check on Yvonne, Kylie has come out from the back wearing a black robe, Yvonne telling her she'll be OK as Kylie looks concerned for her stablemates safety, even glaring at her own sister in the ring for hurting Yvonne because of some notion of protecting her from herself.
Ushering Kylie to the back as she knows that look, Nicole reminds her she has her first JMDD title defence later, so not to waste energy on Kendall, Kylie nodding as she looks firmly embedded now in the Lookout! Stable.
In the ring Kendall wipes the tears away as she gets her right hand raised by the referee, her fans are yelling as she gives them a wave, even though she won she looks like she needs a weeks holiday to get her head in the right place.
Thanking Gisele and Eva as they all step out the ring together, Kendall ends the year on a positive but what drama will her career have over the next year with seemingly a battle with her own sister looking inevitable.

After an all action start to the last two rounds, it is a bit of a shock to see both fighters revert to something looking like a boxing match, touching each other up with stiff jabs and straights, getting their range as Yvonne is having to read Kendall's new movements.

But she is being met with a jab that looks much better then what she has been taking, Kendall seems to have finally gotten out her emotions, she looks laser focused as she jams more punches firmly into the face of her opponent.
As they enter the second minute, Yvonne just misses with an overhand right, an uppercut lands square on her chin to tilt her head up, A LEFT HOOK TO THE JAW SENDS YVONNE DOWN TO HER LEFT SIDE!
What a stunning knockdown out of nowhere, Kendall jogs to the neutral corner as Kidman looks wide eyed! 1...2...3...4.. Yvonne shakes her head as she turns to all fours, 5...6...7.. Pushing up to her right knee, 8... Yvonne gets to her feet thudding her gloves together to show her annoyance.
The referee checks and let's Yvonne continue, Kendall comes on the attack now but is met with a head on attack by the blonde, both nearly clash heads as they rip into each other with fury, snarls head when neither is groaning from being hit.
Taking a step back to dodge a left cross, Kendall smacks a double jab into her face late on in the round, a right cross cuts the bottom lip of Yvonne, who looks to the heavens when the bell rings as if to ask what just happened?
Round 5:
The fans are gripped by the fight, the fighters letting their hands go in some crunching combos, boxing at midrange as they show their class, punches perfectly put together around or through gaps in guards.
A left hook catches Yvonne on her jaw, with a right landing on her chin to send sweat flying off her, Kendall piling the pressure on herself now as she knocks back her rival, opening up that cut bottom lip again.
The right hook of Kendall is finding a home more as the round goes on, Yvonne leaving herself open too much trying to get back at the model, getting smacked back towards the ropes after eating two crisp uppercuts through her guard.
Now Strahovski has to clinch up, their glistening toned bodies bumping together as the venomous insults are spat into ears, referee struggles to break them apart as they looked gripped in trying to prove whose stronger.
When they are free to work again, Kendall beats Yvonne to the punch with a quick one-two combo through to the bloody lips, Yvonne finding herself needing to cover up as seconds tick away to the bell.
The round ends with Yvonne needing a pep talk from Nicole, who can't believe Yvonne is not being able to close this show by now, across the ring tempers seem to have calmed down, Gisele still makes it a point to tell Kendall to keep doing the best she can, anything less is not good enough tonight.
Round 6:
Fighting more on the inside as they start off the round, Yvonne looks to be trying to force the issue more after a terrible last two rounds, going back to the body work that is making Kendall grimace as she backs off.
That early charge seems to be starting to back fire somewhat on Kendall, Yvonne's matching her work rate again as Kendall is putting together only two to three punches in a combo, sometimes not even that as they box around the ring.
Starting to hold Yvonne more, some are wondering if Kendall is needing to refill the tanks, after all the fighting she has done, all the emotional turmoil she has had, is it biting her now in this fight?
Yvonne certainly isn't giving her room to breath, stalking after the younger fighter, forcing the heated exchanges as Kendall keeps backing off from her, the crowd getting more behind Strahovski as she is the one being aggressive.
But as the round enters it's final thirty seconds, maybe it was a ploy by Jenner as she slips a right to bang in a straight to the body, then a left lands flush across the chin of the Lookout! Fighter, Yvonne finds herself knocked back against a neutral corner as Kendall lands four beautiful straight punches into her face.
The round ends with Yvonne rubbing her bloody lips as Kendall's chest is rising faster, both women glare at each other as the referee stands close in case it kicks off, instead Kendall let's Yvonne past as she returns to her corner first.
Round 7:
Both fighters are certainly not in their best shape right now, Yvonne is getting jabbed square into her face when Kendall can get on her back, Yvonne is hurting Kendall to the body when she can get in closer.
Pressing back Kendall to the ropes near the end of the first minute, Yvonne gets clinched up after she busts open the bottom lip of her opponent, kidneys are hit with short sharp digs by both fighters as the referee is needed again to pry these heated enemies apart.
Working again around the ring, Yvonne misses with a left hook and takes a straight to her chest that makes her hiss out, a left cross smacks her across the jaw as Kendall is boxing nicely off the back foot.
Less then a minute to go now, both are wincing when they get hit cleanly, especially to those busted lips as they seem to have a target firmly painted on them, neither showing the other an ounce of mercy as they really wanna hurt each other badly.
A missed overhand right leaves Yvonne open, Kendall slams a jab square into the side of her face, THEN AN UPPERCUT LANDS TO SEND STRAHOVSKI DOWN TO HER BACK! THE CROWD IS ON ITS FEET!
Resting against the turnbuckles in the neutral corner, Kendall watches keenly as 1...2...3....4.. Yvonne slowly turns to her front, 5...6...7.. Blinking as she crawls to the ropes, 8... Grabbing them, 9... She beats the count barely, referee making sure Yvonne is OK as she walks to them, nodding they want to continue.
Luckily for her the bell rings literally seconds later, Yvonne looks a little unsteady as she turns to her corner, Nicole working hard to try to get Yvonne ready for the next round, they can't believe this is how things are turning out after that strong start.
Across the ring Kendall nearly looks to be running on fumes, Gisele massaging her limbs as Eva works on her lips, all hands on deck to get Kendall ready for the next round, ready they hope to end this before she hasn't the strength to do it.
Round 8:
It's clear as they start trading that Yvonne hasn't gotten her feet back firmly under her yet, Kendall's jabs are landing flush to snap her head back, while she shakes a little with each clean hit, missing with her own punches in reply.
Till Kendall feints with a jab, Yvonne shuts up shop up top, a right smacks into her solar plexus to make the Aussie gasp, AS THE GUARD OPENS UP KENDALL LANDS FLUSH WITH A STRAIGHT THAT SENDS STRAHOVSKI DOWN TO HER BACK!
Laying spread eagle on the canvas with glassy eyes as the count begins, 1...2...3...4.. Yvonne is barely moving as Kendall is resting in the neutral corner, 5...6...7.. Nicole banging on the ring apron, yelling at her fighter to get up, doing anything she can to make sure this isn't the end, 8...9...10 but it is! Yvonne doesn't beat the count!
Winner Kendall Jenner KO Round 8
After:
An emotional month for Kendall ends with her on her knees sobbing, happily for her they are tears of joy as she celebrates knocking out Yvonne, this was far from her best performance with that bad start, the way she roared back though has to give her hope for her future.
Kidman meanwhile rushes into the ring to check on Yvonne, tapping her cheeks lightly to see if anybody is home, Yvonne blinks but can't find the strength to get up, telling her trainer "f***.." Is all she can say right now.
Over comes Kendall as she has a bone to pick with Nicole and Yvonne, slipping her gloves off before she shoves Nicole down, yelling "don't you dare mention my sister to me, I'll f***ing end you!" All that emotion rushing back as Gisele has to rush to pull back Kendall.
Nicole is up to her feet yelling at Gisele "keep your bytch on a leash Gisele!" Which makes the Brazilian start yelling back at her as security has been ordered by the FCBA committee in the ring to hold back these two camps before things turn ugly.
Sitting on her stool, Kendall cries into her hands, admitting "I nearly let Kylie and those fights with the Fate's girls get to me, it's been a long month" as Gisele pulls Kendall up by her right hand into a tight embrace, acting like a motherly figure to the younger model, telling her it will be all OK.
All the while Yvonne is finally on her stool after help from medics, getting checked over by the doctor, they seem thankfully to think she will be OK, though to make sure they want her helped out the ring, Nicole with help from one of the medics is able to get Yvonne safely out the ring.
A sight Kendall will not want to see if she watches this fight back is who comes out to check on Yvonne, Kylie has come out from the back wearing a black robe, Yvonne telling her she'll be OK as Kylie looks concerned for her stablemates safety, even glaring at her own sister in the ring for hurting Yvonne because of some notion of protecting her from herself.
Ushering Kylie to the back as she knows that look, Nicole reminds her she has her first JMDD title defence later, so not to waste energy on Kendall, Kylie nodding as she looks firmly embedded now in the Lookout! Stable.
In the ring Kendall wipes the tears away as she gets her right hand raised by the referee, her fans are yelling as she gives them a wave, even though she won she looks like she needs a weeks holiday to get her head in the right place.
Thanking Gisele and Eva as they all step out the ring together, Kendall ends the year on a positive but what drama will her career have over the next year with seemingly a battle with her own sister looking inevitable.
