Melina VS Velvet Sky TV Title Match

As we catch our breath before tonight’s main event let’s have a quick recap on the show so far: Billie Kay and Peyton Royce defeated Exotic Bliss in the opening contest thanks to a Big Boot to the chin of Mandy Leon from Billie Kay. Madison Rayne triumphed over Becky Lynch, countering the Disarmher with a school girl pin. Torrie Wilson pinned Brooke in the fatal four way and newcomer Toni Storm submitted fellow Australian Emma with her vicious Kondo Clutch. Back to the action now and here comes the challenger, Melina.

Out comes the champion now, this will be a real test for her.

There’s the bell, who will walk out as TV Champion? Let’s find out.

Melina looks to tie up with Velvet who goes for a roll up, one, two, kick out by Melina. Both quickly back to their feet, Melina swings wildly but gets caught with an inside cradle, one, two, kick out again. Melina charges Velvet this time but gets dropped by a clothesline for her troubles, then a back elbow as she rises to her feet again. Velvet Sky pulls Melina up off the mat.

Great offence from the TV Champion who hooks the leg, one, two, Melina pops her shoulder up. Velvet stalks Melina now as she lies in wait for her slowly picking herself up. Velvet hits the ropes building up a head of steam, great flexibility shown by Melina as she avoids the clothesline with the Matrix evasion and counters with a dropkick right on the chin of Velvet Sky. Melina lifts Velvet up by the head and connects with a European Uppercut, staggering the champ. Snap suplex delivered by Melina, taking down Velvet. She follows up with a splits legdrop over the throat of Velvet, making the cover, one, two, Velvet gets the shoulder up. The challenger mounts the champion now, unleashing right hands one after another unanswered. Velvet Sky’s looking a little groggy as Melina brings her back up by the hair, neckbreaker executed perfectly by the challenger who taunts the champion while she’s down. Nasty straightjacket hold applied by Melina looking to wear the champion down. Velvet Sky’s in trouble here as she struggles to find a way out of her predicament. The challenger is trash talking her as she increases the pressure, Velvet is working her way back to her feet but Melina cuts her off with a knee to the ribs.

It’s got to be over after that. Velvet is out as Melina covers her, one, two, thre….NO! Velvet Sky lifts her shoulder off the mat in the nick of time. Melina pulls Velvet up once more who is deadweight at this point, another DDT plants the champion hard but she falls out of the ring from the impact much to the chagrin of the challenger. The referee starts the count, Melina exits the ring knowing full well she can’t win the title from a count out. She pulls Velvet Sky up by the hair and sends her straight into the steel steps shoulder first. This is starting to look very one sided with Melina tossing the champion back into the ring, I think we’re just moments away from crowning a new champion. There’s the cover, one, two, Velvet has her foot on the bottom rope. Melina brings the champion back to her feet and assaults her with a barrage of forearms to the face, knocking her loopy. What’s the challenger got in mind now?

Nasty collision in the centre of the ring leaves both women down as the ref starts a ten count. Melina is first to her feet just before the count of ten as Velvet is still on her knees. She pulls Velvet up with the hair, Velvet stops Melina in her tracks with a forearm to the midsection. The challenger tries to grab the champ once more but Velvet cuts her off again with another shot to the ribs. The champion starts to mount a comeback with a kick to the gut, followed by a flurry of roundhouse kicks that have Melina reeling. Velvet uses the ropes for momentum, running bulldog, countered as Melina pushes the champion into the ropes. Running lariat ducked by Velvet as both women come off the ropes on opposite sides, running spinning facebuster by Melina puts the champion down. Melina has managed to cut Velvet Sky off at almost every pass. The champion has nothing left as Melina pulls her up looking to end this. Here it comes…

IN YO’ FACE!!! Amazing counter out of nowhere by Velvet Sky as she hooks the challenger’s leg, one, two, three. It’s all over, the champion retains her title very much against the run of play tonight but still has her prize and a potential future World Title shot.

Christy: Here is your winner and still TV Champion, Velvet Sky!

Here comes the World Champion Candice Michelle, title in hand. Velvet has her championship in hand as they go face to face.

How’s that for an image to end a Pay Per View? Champion vs champion facing off in the ring as the mind games continue between these two. Candice is a proud champion willing to take on all comers but the fact of the matter is the last time these two have faced off, Velvet Sky has won by count out and pinfall. Does the TV Champion have the World Champion’s number? We may find out sooner or later. For now it’s goodnight and see you tomorrow.
