This week was a special episode dedicated to the Europa Division. Nigel McGuinness and Katarina Waters hyped the program and then Cathy Kelley was given the broadcast to run down the matches before the hour got underway.
Match One ~ “Fatal Four-Way” match ~ Winner Receives a European Championship Opportunity at Her Choosing ~ Bea Priestley vs. Aoife Valkyrie vs. “The Nightmare” Rhea Ripley vs. Indi Hartwell
This was a high-octane match with four strong competitors in the mix. Any of the women would be deserving of a title opportunity and they fought with intention. Near the end, the action got chaotic. Valkyrie hit a “Running Crossbody Press” on Bea that took them both out of the ring. This allowed Rhea to step in and hit “Riptide” on Indi to get the win before Aoife could break it up.
Winner = Rhea Ripley by pinfall in 12:43
Match Two ~ “Six-Woman Tag Team” match ~ “House of Couture” (“Fashionista” Jinny Couture, Heidi Katrina, & Nina Samuels) vs. “Megaton Barbies” (“Vixen of Violence” Piper Niven, “Beautiful Bruiser” Molly Spartan, & Gia Adams)
There has been plenty of tension in the “Barbies” camp, and it played out in this match. “House of Couture” did not have to work hard to expose any weaknesses, mainly because the squabbling of Niven and Spartan were on display. Gia eventually walked out on her two partners, yelling, “I’ve had it with you two!” This left them a woman down and easy prey for the loss. Spartan was dropped with a “Triple Powerbomb” after Piper got taken out.
Winners = “House of Couture” by pinfall in 11:23
After the match, Niven and Spartan began to fight into the crowd. They eventually were broken up by Security and escorted away.
Match Three ~ NWA: Femme Fatales European Championship ~ “30-Minute Ironwoman” match ~ Dakota Kai vs. Toni Storm
These two have been in several wars on the Europa live event tour since Kai won the title from Storm by forfeit. Toni has blamed Dakota for the backstage attack that cost her the title, though Kai has denied it unequivocally. Storm overwhelmed the champion early on and took fall one in decisive fashion after “Strong Zero.” The next fall was more competitive but took the bulk of the match. Kai got the sneaky pin after an “O’Connor Roll” and a fistful of trunks. After this, Storm went on the warpath. She took the fight to Dakota and showed her dominance. After Kai reached out and slapped Storm, Toni absolutely lost her mind and continued to stomp away at Kai in the corner. The referee tried to stop her, but Toni would not be unbowed. The referee finally disqualified Storm with ten seconds left on the clock. This gave Kai a 2-1 advantage. Toni snapped into reality and hit her “Storm One” finish on Kai but could not get the cover made before the time ran out.
Winner and STILL NWA: Femme Fatales European Champion = Dakota Kai by a 2-1 advantage in a total match time of 30:00
After the match, Rhea Ripley came out and declared she would challenge Kai at Halloween Havoc. Kai looked exhausted and worried.
Nigel closed the episode out as “The Nightmare” smiled from the entrance.
