"This is our last show before Final Showdown," John said during the pre-show meeting. "Which means it's our second-to-last show of the year."
Titanium Wrestling was one of the few promotions that took an offseason, usually from a few days before Christmas until early March.
"We're going to kick off tonight’s show with the confrontation between Allison and Shelly, which will lead to their cage match at Final Showdown. I want plenty of emotion in that segment. Aside from that, does anyone have anything to bring up?"
Nobody said a word.
"Alright then," John said. "Let’s put on a great show."
The lights dimmed. Music blasted. Pyros went off. The commentators welcomed viewers, and the show began with Allison storming into the ring, microphone in hand.
“Shelly!” she shouted. “I wanted to win the Women’s Tag-Team Championships, but not like this! You’ve got some explaining to do!”
Shelly’s theme song hit, and she walked down to the ring, grabbing a mic of her own.
“First off, I had nothing to do with what happened,” Shelly said. “As most of you may know, the referee for that match—Steve Moody—is my husband. He told me why he did what he did. I don’t condone it, but I understand.”
The crowd listened, silent and curious.
“We have two sons at home,” she continued. “It’s hard enough being a parent in this economy. Winning the championships means more money. More money means we can provide better for our kids.”
The promo continued for over 20 minutes. The segment ended with a rematch announcement: Shelly and Allison would defend the titles right then and there.
But just as the match began, something unexpected happened. Allison walked away from the ring.
Shelly stood stunned as the referee counted them out. The Women's Tag-Team Championships were stripped from them as a result.
Backstage, a camera caught Allison explaining her decision.
“We cheated to win the Women's Tag-Team Championships,” she said. “So I gave up the titles because it was the right thing to do.”
Shelly stormed in and attacked Allison. The two brawled furiously until security broke them up.
“I’ll see you at Final Showdown!” Shelly shouted.
“Let’s make it a cage match while we’re at it!” Allison yelled back.
Both of these segments were written by Shelly’s twin brother, Michael.
After the show, Shelly FaceTimed Michael.
“Michael, you are a fing genius!” she exclaimed. “Allison and I stole the fing show!”
“We did so well, our match is now the main event at Final Showdown!” Allison chimed in.
“That’s fantastic!” Michael said. “I just watched the show on YouTube. You two were brilliant. You’re meant for this.”
“We need to hit the showers,” Allison said. “Talk soon!” She blew Michael a kiss and hung up.
“What was that?” Shelly asked
