Kendra said nothing, preferring not to entertain a conversation that might drift into the lane of thought that Fiona had “ruined” everyone having ringside support for the rest of the tournament. Fiona was already feeling self-conscious enough after being scolded by Diana Deguara. 

[i]Come to think of it, Uberto Cafrune was not ringside for Elina Zamora earlier.[/i]

After the referee completed the standard checks, the bell rang and the match that would determine Fiona’s opponent for next weekend began. The fight started slowly. Abby tried her typical mind games with Tanya but she quickly realized that tactic was not the best idea. After striking an unflattering pose in Tanya’s direction, Abby found herself chased around the ring by her thoroughly steamed opponent. The two slid under the ropes outside the ring and seconds later were exchanging wild punches and stinging chops near the south-side barricade. Caught up in a furious exchange, women barely made it back inside the ring before the ten count.

Abby had not even come up to a full stand before Tanya grabbed her and drove her into the mat with a high rising sidewalk slam that drew the crowd’s approval. Tanya followed up with a sharp snap suplex, then capped the sequence with a German suplex for good measure. As the German suplex landed, Tanya arched into a bridge for a quick pin. Abby managed to kick free just before the two count. Brent, of course, was eating it up, laying on the praise as Tanya hauled Abby back up and sent her back hard with a second German suplex.
