2 Hours before the Show
Backstage
Don was already dressed up for tonight as he and Cedric have their first chance at the Raw Tag Team Championships. For Don, this is important this for him is the litmus test if he is championship caliber or if this is a one time thing.
As Don was zoning into focus for his upcoming match, he did not notice the quick footsteps and bouncing about until....
Liv: Donny!
Don was caught off guard and stepped back in surprise due to the Problem Child's way of getting his attention. He saw Liv and breathed to catch his breath
Don: I asked for Liv, not Chucky! You scared me!
Liv: I wasn't cosplaying as Chucky - pouts - but you gave me an idea for some future gear - giggles -
Don: Oh great. But - breathes - please, don't do that again.
Liv: So why so focused earlier Donny?
Don: Well I am going for my first title opportunity on the main roster tonight.
Liv: Oh yeah, - smiles - you will do great Donny.
Don: I know you will in your match against Nattie and CJ
Liv then breathes and opens her arms wide.
Liv: One before we start the show?
Don knew what had to be done, so he wraps her in a friendly hug. Liv hugged back as tight and the two friends felt like nothing else was around to stop them.
That is until Cedric and Ruby saw their tag partners in a warm embrace and gave them a few minutes until Ruby smacked Liv's butt.
Liv's eyes suddenly opened and pouted at Don.
Liv: Donny you killed the moment.
Don: What do you mean?
Liv: You spanked my tushy...
Don: First of all, Liv, use your big girl words. Second, I didn't do that. My hands have always been on your back.
Liv: If it wasn't you, then...
Ruby: Sorry to break the hug you two but we both need our tag partners to talk about last minute prep for the matches
Cedric: Uhhh... what she said!
Don: Lost your words Ced?
Cedric: Hey man, come on! Go be Donny Romantico later. For now, we got a match to prepare for.
Don: Guess it's see you later G?
Liv: Alright P - smiles -
Ruby and Cedric: P? - looks at Don -
Don: What?
Riott Squad v. Lana and Natalya
Mike Rome: The following contest is scheduled for onefall
Mike Rome: First, Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan, the Riott Squad!
Joe: Well here comes a team I kinda like now and showing their edge.
Byron: Well, I do admire their tenacity but at times, it is coming off as offensive and hurtful
Joe: Boo hoo Saxton. They tried playing nice but it got them nowhere. Now they got this attitude, they seem to be finally hitting it off
Byron: That's just for Liv, Ruby seems to not want a part of that
The Riott Squad remove their entrance coats as....
Mike Rome: And their opponents, first from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Natalya!
Joe: I'd say easy pickings for her but the Riotts just had to play dirty. So we may see a different result
Byron: Well, I would say that payback is coming for their dirty ways but both teams are coming in with unclean hands
Joe: Oh put a sock on it!
Mike Rome: And her tag team partner, the Ravishing One, Lana!
Byron: Well she is certainly not satisfied
Joe: Of course but this time, both teams must step up to the plate
Match Start
Liv and Lana start the match as both were unapologetic over what had happened over the past few weeks. Both hurled insults at one another. One insult from Lana triggered Liv
Lana: This will end the same way, you two were lucky up until now. We will send you back and join Sarah you washed up, misfit bitches!
Liv nods then charges at Lana for a Thesz press and begins to ground and pound on the Ravishing One. Lana was unable to mount any offense as Liv was slamming Lana's head to the mat. As the referee was counting close to 5 for Liv to break away, Liv screamed away from the referee
Ruby looked worried while Natalya was agitated but this led Lana to attempt a sneaky schoolgirl pin on Liv but Liv breaks the attempt to hit Lana with the basement dropkick
Match Highlights
- Lana does a double leg takedown as payback for Liv's Thesz press attack earlier. Also hits a Sliding Roundhouse Kick on Liv for a 2 count.
- Natalya is tagged in and hits Liv with a Snap Suplex to weaken her back.
- Natalya hits a Butterfly Suplex but midway through the lift, Liv counters into a Hurricanrana to cause separation to tag Ruby
- Ruby enters the ring to hit Superkicks to both Natalya and an intruding Lana
- Natalya tries to surprise Ruby with a Butterfly Suplex, but Ruby counters it into an Arm Drag
- Lana comes in to hit a Roundhouse Kick to Ruby but Ruby slides out of the ring
Middle of the Match
Ruby is now outside trying to recover as Lana tries to pick up Ruby to cause more damage outside the ring. Lana rolls out to see Natalya hold Ruby in place with her back against the ring post. The Ravising One was readying herself to hit the Leader of the Riott Squad with a Corner Heel Kick. However, Liv was able to do a running front dropkick to Natalya to release Ruby.
Ruby then fell on her knees as Lana's heel came into contact with the ring post as she shrieked in pain. Ruby then was able to regain her bearings as she threw Lana back into the ring.
Meanwhile, Natalya was winding up for a Discus Clothesline to the Problem Child, but Liv was able to counter it into a Float-Over-DDT on the outside, crashing both her back and Natalya's head on the outside mat.
