Alicia Armand (c) vs. Zarya Damone

[Mister Mirage]

"The following contest is a Hell in a Cell match! Introducing first..."

 

[Zarel Damone]

It's not hard living inside of a drum
It's not bad bad bad bad
Let's live our lives on the inside of a drum eh
Eh eh eh eh

Drumlife by Brandy hits the PA as Zarya steps out on the stage, and with a large silver cannon in her hand, clearly only for the pyro.

It was your eyes that gave you up through that stupid disguise
You tryna hide behind that drink and you almost slipped by
I see you there sophisticated ignoring the beat
Your mouth might be closed
But baby listen to your heart and its screaming

"Making her way to the ring, from St. Louis Missouri, Zarya, Damone!"

Zarya points off to the left of the stage and fires off several shots of multicolored pyro. She then turns to the right and does the same, the crowd now booing her loudly

You're one of us
One of those beautiful fools you are
You're one of us
You were born in it so you should live in it

Zarya leaves the cannon on the stage and heads to the ring.

Live in a drum whoa
You'll never be in it alone
If you lived in a drum whoa
Right now you'll already be home
Live on live on
The drum life never gets old
Live on live on
The drum life keeps going on

Halfway down the ramp, she stops to look over the hell in a cell structure. Tonight is her night, she can feel it. Ready to get things going, she steps into the cell and slides into the ring standing in the center with outstretched arms as the crowd continues to boo her. It doesn't matter, she's here to end Alicia's championship reign, not play to the fickle fans. As her music dies out, she turns to look at the entrance, awaiting the arrival of the champion  

[Ken Armand]

Black Widow hits the PA as the fans cheer for the arrival of the champion. Alicia Armand steps out and the cheers erupt even louder.

"Making her way to the ring, from Kansas City, Missouri, the GWA Women's champion, Alicia Armand!"

Alicia stands on the stage for several moments, the championship in hnad, before raising it to the crowd and holding it high as she heads for the ring.

Walter Stevenson: The Women's champion looks focused as she heads to the ring here tonight for her first ever foray into hell in a cell.

Jeff Jeffersion: She's heading in there against a Damone. That match is home to her family. I hope she doesn't think this is just another night.

Alicia reaches the cell and stops, looking over the structure itself. She'd had a taste of it on Crusade, but that was an unsanctioned fight. Tonight was the real deal, with her title on the line. Willing herself to keep going, she hands the belt off and walks inside, officials closing the door behind her and locking it. The champion slides into the ring and stands up, her eyes on the challenger. The music dies out and she merely awaits the bell  

[Zarel Damone]

Zarya watched as Alicia entered the arena and even as she handed the title belt off and stepped into the cell. The time for talk is over, the door is locked and at last the bell rings. Zarya keeps her eyes on the champion as she moves forward. She intends to take her time in beating the champion this time  

[Ken Armand]

Alicia isn't going to just let Zarya dictate the pace of the match. She charges right at her, looking to clock her with some rights and lefts  

[Zarel Damone]

Zarya didn't expect this strategy again from Alicia. It never fares well for the champion, but Zarya finds herself eating punches right off the jump. Zarya is at home in a fight, and she reaches up and attempts to simply shove Alicia to the mat  

[Ken Armand]

Alicia knew she'd be in for a rough night, and she'd already encountered the difference in power before. She hits the mat but rolls through and springs up again, leaping at Zarya and attempting to take her down with a Thesz Press and some more rights and lefts once she gets her down  

[Zarel Damone]

As aggressive as ever, the champion takes Zarya by surprise with the Thesz Press, raining down more blows again. Still, Zarya is bigger and stronger, and reaching up, she attempts to once again fling Alicia off her to get up again  

[Ken Armand]

again the challenger overpowers her, but again Alicia rolls through. As Zarya gets to her feet, Alicia attempts to meet her with a dropkick to the chest  

[Zarel Damone]

Zarya is making her way up only to be caught with a dropkick that sends her stumbling backwards into the turnbuckle  

[Ken Armand]

Getting to her feet again, Alicia goes right after Zarya, attempting to pummel her with rights to the head  

[Zarel Damone]

Zarya takes several rights to the head, rocking her head back each time before she again reaches up and attempts to give Alicia a hard shove to the mat  

[Ken Armand]

again Zarya just tosses Alicia away, but she rolls through again and charges back at Zarya attempting to clothesline her against the buckle  

[Zarel Damone]

Enough of this. Zarya springs forward and attempts to catch Alicia by the throat with both hands, then toss her into the corner and light into her with some rights and lefts of her own  

[Ken Armand]

looks like the champ's luck has run out, as Zarya catches and launches her into the corner. Alicia gets rocked by the shots from the challenger, slowly forcing her to sink down in the corner with no form of relief in sight
