Tenille Dashwood

Uprising Alternative Championship

Rebecca J. Scott (c) vs. Xia Brookside

RJS learned from her near-miss in Chapter 1 with Alisha Edwards and was determined not to repeat that error. This time, Xia Brookside stepped up to the challenge on social media, giving the champion ample time to gear up. Even with the additional preparation, Brookside dominated much of the match and nearly secured victory multiple times. However, RJS consistently thwarted her attempts at the Brooksie Bomb, preventing Brookside from delivering the decisive strike. Ultimately, it was RJS who struck last, executing her signature Curbstomp after a backdrop to Brookside.

Result: Rebecca J. Scott retains via pinfall.

After a gruelling title defence, RJS shows signs of wear but is more than willing to share a handshake with her rival. Both competitors understand how closely matched they were, yet today, RJS emerged victorious. Her remarks after the match indicate that she is fully aware of just how narrow the victory margin was.

Rebecca J. Scott: “These certainly aren’t getting any easier, but at least this time I was able to prepare. Otherwise... Who knows if I’d be standing here right now. But Xia, thank you for accepting my challenge. You made me raise my game and for that, I’m thankful. As for… what’s… next…”

RJS begins to speak but suddenly stops mid-sentence. Before long, the cause of her hesitation becomes clear as Harley Cameron makes her entrance.

Harley Cameron: “No, you don’t need to say it. I already know. Chapter 3, you want to defend that title against me, right? I knew it. Well, I accept your challenge. You better make sure you know what you’ve gotten yourself into because now, you will feel the wrath of Harley Cameron!”

The Vendetta (Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie) vs. Fire N’ Flava (Tasha Steelz & Kiera Hogan)

Even though Fire N’ Flava hadn’t joined forces in over three years, they quickly found their rhythm again, largely due to their undeniable speed advantage. Steelz and Hogan maintained a fast-paced tempo that clearly frustrated their opponents. Whenever the Vendetta had the opportunity, they deliberately slowed the match down, opting for a more strategic approach. This tactic soon led to Steelz’s shoulder becoming the focal point of their attacks, likely in preparation for the Venus de Milo. Hogan found herself fighting solo for extended stretches, but it was only a matter of time before she faced the same fate as Steelz. Although Purrazzo couldn’t execute the Venus de Milo as planned, she did manage to land the Queen’s Gambit on Hogan, securing the three-count and the win.

Result: The Vendetta (Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie) via pinfall.

After the match, Purrazzo and Valkyrie shared their thoughts backstage, and it's clear they are quite proud of their performance.

Deonna Purrazzo: “Yet again, another duo falls to the Vendetta. At this rate, I’m sure people are questioning if anybody can beat us. A question I’m eager to find an answer to. This goes out to every tag team, in every company across the wrestling landscape. If you think you have someone that can beat us? Send your best. Just don’t send anybody you want back in one piece.”

NWA World Women’s Championship

Kenzie Paige (c) vs. Tenille Dashwood

After Dashwood's attempt to re-injure Kylie Paige in Chapter 1, Kenzie Paige wasted no time in challenging her to a championship match as part of her quest for revenge. It’s a rare occasion when a champion extends such an offer, so Dashwood eagerly seized the chance to pursue a title she had been after for over a year. Once the bell rang, Kenzie Paige launched an aggressive assault, making Dashwood regret her earlier decisions. A flurry of suplexes and powerful strikes forced the Australian to retreat. Dashwood only managed to turn the tide by delivering a sneaky eye poke as Paige attempted to corner her. Despite Dashwood's repeated attempts at the Spotlight Kick, Paige was always one step ahead. As the match neared its climax, Dashwood found a fleeting opportunity when a drop toe hold sent the champion crashing throat-first into the ropes. Taking a moment to regain her breath, Dashwood prepared to deliver the final blow, but fate had other plans. Instead of Kylie Paige, it was Nixon Newell who struck from behind. As Dashwood stumbled forward, Paige seized the moment to execute the Kenzie Cutter, clinching the victory without realizing Newell's involvement.

Result: Kenzie Paige retains via pinfall.

After the announcement of her victory, it dawns on Paige what has likely transpired. Meanwhile, Newell strides into the ring, immediately confronting Dashwood with shouts and taunts, brandishing the NWA title belt mockingly. With a nonchalant flick, Newell tosses the belt aside, pushing Paige to her limit. The moment Newell rises, Paige retaliates with a second Kenzie Cutter, swiftly retrieving the belt that Newell had so thoughtlessly discarded.

In her backstage interview following the match, Kenzie Paige's annoyance is evident, even though she successfully defended her title.

Kenzie Paige: “Really? You’re sticking your nose into my business over this little vendetta you two have with each other. Nixon, I didn’t want your help, and I didn’t need your help. I wanted to shut Tenille up by myself. Now, she’s going to be mouthing off that I only beat her because of you. That puts me in a rather awkward position. I want to shut up Tenille. But now I also want to beat up Nixon. Kylie also wants to shut up Tenille. So, I can only see one solution to this. Chapter 3. Pretty Empowered taking on Tenille Dashwood and Nixon Newell in a tag team match. I know what you’re thinking, why? Right? If either of you two can get the victory, that person gets a shot at my NWA World Women’s Championship. Surely you can work together for that.”

Nixon Newell wasted no time in replying to the offer after her debut, which had not been met with a warm reception.

Nixon Newell: “Kenzie, trust me, I didn’t come to step on your toes or try to steal your spotlight. I came here to retire Tenille. But now, now you have my attention. You have my interest. The NWA World Women’s Championship. A title that idiot has been chasing for well over a year now. I could not only win it, but I could also win it before her, and right in front of her. That would be even better than retiring her. All I’d have to do is put up with her for one match. You know what? It wasn’t my plan, but I’ll do it. Kenzie, you got yourself a deal.”

The only individual who needs to consent before the match can be officially announced is ironically the one person most unlikely to want anything to do with Nixon Newell. Especially not teaming with her.

Chapter 1

Uprising Alternative Championship

Rebecca J. Scott (c) vs. Alisha Edwards

The opening match of Revolution Chapter 1, featured one of the most experienced members of the roster in Alisha Edwards taking on relative newcomer Rebecca J. Scott with Scott’s Uprising Alternative Championship on the line. The match wasn’t originally scheduled to be a championship match, but Edwards was able to goad RJS into putting her title on the line by claiming she was scared to do so. Foolishly, RJS fell for it. The pre match antics of Edwards set the tone for the match with the Boston native using every shortcut she could think of to try and pry the championship away. At one stage, Edwards tried pinning RJS while having a handful of tights and her feet on the ropes but still couldn’t get the victory. Soon after, she would fall victim to a running curbstomp as RJS picked up a hard fought and unexpected championship defense.

Result: Rebecca J. Scott retains via pinfall.

Backstage, RJS was afforded the opportunity to say a few words following her successful defense.

Rebecca J. Scott: “Okay, maybe that wasn’t the best idea I’ve ever had. But… I got the job done. That’s all that matters. Alisha is one of the most resourceful women I’ve ever faced and she made sure it wasn’t easy. That’s exactly how I want it. So, Revolution Chapter 2. Assuming I’m still champion whenever that is, I’m issuing an open challenge. You want a shot at the Uprising Alternative Championship? All you have to do is ask. At least this way I can be prepared.”

The Influence (Tenille Dashwood & Madison Rayne) vs. Kenzie Paige & Ella Envy w/ Kylie Paige

The second match on the card also seen a change to the originally advertised line up, but this one due to injury. With Kylie Paige not cleared to compete, she was replaced by Ella Envy, much to the annoyance of Kenzie Paige. Despite the change, Paige and Envy were able to quickly get on the same page, largely with Paige giving instructions and Envy simply following her lead. Their opponents had no such issue as the former TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions quickly got back into the swing of things like no time had passed. Towards the end of the match, Kylie Paige swiped at the ankle of Dashwood to try and trip her but paid for it. Managing to keep her footing, Dashwood promptly stomped on the injured arm of Kylie. Seeing her sister in agony, Kenzie abandoned her partner to check on her, leaving Envy in a two on one situation. A Rayne drop followed by the Spotlight Kick was enough to ensure the three count before Paige could break the count.

Result: The Influence (Tenille Dashwood & Madison Rayne) via pinfall.

Almost as soon as the bell sounds, both Dashwood and Rayne quickly retreat from the ring as Kenzie Paige tries in vain to get a hold of either woman. Having come up short, Kenzie isn’t shy about speaking her mind backstage.

Kenzie Paige: “You got the win, congratulations, but Dashwood, you just made the biggest mistake of your life. If something happens bell to bell? That’s fine. That’s a risk we all take. A risk we don’t take? Someone intentionally trying to reinjure you. That’s exactly what you just did with Kylie. Everybody knows that Kylie here is the absolute last person who needs someone to fight her battles for her. Luckily for you, she’s injured. As you already know. Unluckily for you, I’m not. Next time out, you and I. I’m taking your head off. But don’t worry, I’ll leave just enough for Kylie to finish the job as soon as she is cleared.”

With Kenzie Paige clearly irate and looking for a fight, Tenille Dashwood is the exact opposite when asked for a response. The Australian is instead full of confidence as she and Madison Rayne look ready to go and celebrate.

Tenille Dashwood: “Wow, Kenzie sure is pissed, huh? But Kenzie, you’re mad at the wrong person. Kylie is the one who initiated contact when she tried to trip me up. I was simply defending myself. It’s her you should be mad at. But you want to fight me? Fine. Put that NWA Women’s World Championship on the line and we have a deal. Let’s see how badly you want revenge for little baby Kylie, or are you simply all talk?”

The Vendetta (Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie) vs. Elegance (Ash & Heather By Elegance)

The second tag team match of the show couldn’t feature two more drastically different pairings. On the one side was the showmanship of Ash by Elegance as she even demanded the fans bow to her. Her partner, Heather by Elegance, wasn’t quite as extravagant but was happy to play the cheerleader. Their opponents, Deonna Purrazzo and Taya Valkyrie were not amused and quickly took the fight to Heather. On multiple occasions Heather tried to tag out, but Ash had an excuse each time ranging from needing to warm up some more, to not wearing the right boots. Ash would eventually get involved but not for long. A missed attempt at Rarified Air saw Ash tag out and refuse to even return to the apron. Before long, Heather fell to the Queen’s Gambit from Purrazzo for the three count.

Result: The Vendetta (Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie) via pinfall.

Backstage, the losing duo of Elegance kept it short and sweet with their post match comments.

Ash By Elegance: “No, no, no. That match didn’t count. I clearly stated that I was not adequately prepared to start the match but those two… thugs jumped us. Like cowards! They even broke my nail! Do you have any idea how much that is going to cost to get fixed? Of course you don’t. Either way, that didn’t count. I refuse to accept it.”

TNA Knockouts Championship

Masha Slamovich (c) vs. Brooke Havok

The main event of Chapter 1 was also the hardest hitting match of the night and it wasn’t at all unexpected. Defending champion Masha Slamovich has taken on all comers and on multiple occasions has been the one to propose her title be on the line. Brooke Havok was looking to make Slamovich regret her confidence and quickly took the fight to the Russian. Neither woman held back and at one point a double count out was a possibility following a dive from Havok to the floor that took out both women. Slamovich and Havok both returned to the ring to continue to fight and almost instantly resumed trading blows with no recovery time needed. Havok thought she had pulled out an upset when she connected with a stunner, but Slamovich was able to avoid the Cross Rhodes attempt that followed by dropping down and sending Havok rolling forward. Quickly getting back to her feet, Havok ran into a spinning kick from Slamovich who wasted little time in securing the victory with the White Knight Driver to make another successful title defense.

Result: Masha Slamovich retains via pinfall.

Early this year I actually got to face Billie.

But, it was in the middle of a one night tournament. Tournaments are tricky. One person will have had more time to recover, one person will have had an easier match, a lot of variables.

I wanted to remove those variables and wanted a rematch.

This despite the fact that I won the match and eliminated the pre tournament favourite on route to being crowned the very first ever Moonstone Champion.

It doesn’t matter now if Nora Adams holds that championship for a decade, my name will always come first.

But back to Billie.

I wanted a rematch and even went to multiple NWA shows to challenge the NWA title holder.

Only to be told that Billie doesn’t actually work these shows.

She’s too busy.

Too busy?

At the time, I was Moonstone Champion along with the TNA Digital Media Championship but I was able to find the time to represent the promotions I held titles in.

Despite what she claims now, that’s how committed Billie was to being a professional wrestler.

She was too busy to wrestle for the promotion she was champion of.

Foolishly, I believed that maybe Billie was too busy. It happens. As such, I offered to let her choose the time and place.

Then she signed with NXT.

I’m not going to criticize her for taking the best offer on the table, but I was starting to feel like she was avoiding me.

Like she knew it wasn’t a fluke that I beat her once, and knew I was going to beat her again.

If she’s signed to NXT, I can’t touch her.

Then we get the partnership between Billie’s home promotion of NXT and my home promotion of TNA.

But still radio silence from Billie. In fact, she doesn’t even mention TNA until after I leave the company.

Awfully convenient timing if you ask me.

It took a while, but finally Billie is once again taking outside bookings…

…and she has completely gone off the deep end.

This isn’t the same woman that dominated the indie scene and made me want to face her about this time last year.

This isn’t the same woman who stepped into the octagon and came out with her hand raised in victory.

This is a bitter and delusional shell of her former self.

It’s disappointing.

I finally get the match that I’ve been wanting for, and it’s not the same Billie Morgan.

It’s something considerably less.

Something broken.

So Billie, before our match, I want you to do me a favour.

I don’t care if you have to go looking through your childhood toys or whatever in search of a Godzilla action figure.

Whatever you need to do, do it.

I don’t want this delusional, sad, hating everyone, broken, wannabe tough girl act you’ve got going on these days.

I don’t want that.

I want a real challenge.

I want one of the best.

November 24th 2024

Nixon Newell vs. Tenille Dashwood

Prior to the opening bell, both Dashwood and Newell were asked to shake hands. Neither woman even stepped forward, let alone offered a hand. This isn’t an environment between two people who respect each other and are competing just to prove who is better. These two can’t stand each other. At Bloodsport XI, the duo got into a shoving match backstage and both women were asked to leave the venue before the conclusion of the show. Obviously, they both blamed each other.

With a handshake out of the question, the duo instead come toe to toe as the official tries once again to convince them to play within the rules. Setting the tone for the match, Newell responds with a headbutt to start the match. Showing no desire to trade holds, Newell instead targets the head of Dashwood, trying to knock the Australian out quickly. At one stage, Newell gets Dashwood down and is able to mount her. Newell rains down the hammer blows, but Dashwood manages to cover up and avoid most of the impact. Before long, she manages to slip free and quickly get back to her feet.

Newell looks to continue the beating, but in her eagerness to do so gives Dashwood the opening to stomp on the surgically repaired knee. Suddenly, the tide turns as Newell struggles to stay on her feet. Dashwood tries a take down but her inexperience in the style is obvious and Newell is able to pull free. But not for long. Switching tactic, Dashwood connects with essentially her Spotlight Kick, but aimed directly at the knee of her opponent instead of the head. Newell’s knee bends awkwardly as she finally falls to the mat.

Instantly, Dashwood attacks and attempts a knee bar but once again her inexperience in the style shows as Newell uses her free leg to kick her way free. Only a few minutes in, and both women have made their tactics crystal clear. Dashwood wants the submission. Newell wants the knockout. A stray kick from Newell is enough to allow her to break free of the attempted knee bar and send Dashwood into retreat. Having gotten kicked in the face, the Australian retreats to the floor to regroup. In the ring, Newell takes the chance to tighten and adjust her knee brace, knowing it will be targeted again soon.

With Dashwood pacing on the floor, Newell moves in and yells at the Australian to return and fight her. Seeing an opening, Dashwood quickly grabs the ankles of Newell and trips her, but doesn’t return to the ring. Instead, Dashwood drags Newell to the ring post and quickly drives the knee into the ring post multiple times. Understandably, Newell cries out in agony but Dashwood doesn’t let up. Instead, she pulls Newell into the post again and this time applies a hanging figure four, putting as much pressure as she can on the knees. The hold is obviously illegal and Dashwood gets a warning before she eventually releases it.

Irate at herself for falling for it, Newell punches the mat as she drags herself away from the post. Suddenly, Dashwood is happy to return to the ring and is now full of confidence. This time Dashwood continues the assault with kicks to the knee while telling Newell to give it up. Newell tries to connect with a right hand but comes up short, no longer having a base to push off of. Despite having her opponent in a very vulnerable position, Dashwood doesn’t go for the kill and instead continues to verbally lay into Newell, letting out some of the pent up hatred she has for her. Dashwood paintbrushes Newell across the head before delivering another kick to the side of the knee.

Newell glares up at her opponent before spitting in Dashwood’s direction. The Australian manages to avoid the unwelcome gesture and tries to pie face Newell. But in doing so, she allows Newell the chance to grab her wrist and bring the Australian to the mat. Not taking any chances, Dashwood rolls through but Newell wasn’t attempting a submission. Instead, as soon as Dashwood turns, Newell connects with a right hand to the face to stun her opponent and send her falling to a knee while checking to make sure she isn’t missing any teeth. Obviously, Dashwood complains to the official, and Newell gets a warning for the use of a closed fist but after how Dashwood used the ring post, she doesn’t care. Getting to one knee herself, Newell once again tightens and adjusts her knee brace to try and continue the match.

Tenille Dashwood vs. Aurora Teves vs. Taylor Rising vs. Kylie Rae

To open the four way match, Kylie Rae had gifts for her opponents as she gave each woman a bow for their hair. Teves and Rising were unsure but accepted the gifts. Dashwood wasn’t quite so receptive. While she took the bow, she wasted little time in dropping it to the mat and stomping on it. An irate Rae quickly took the fight to Dashwood, allowing Teves and Rising to simply stand by and watch for the opening minutes.

Eventually, Rising and Teves would get involved and make the match an actual four way resulting in multiple near falls that had to be broken up by other participants. Following her hot start, Rae kept the aggression for much of the match and looked to have the victory secured when she hit the Kylie Special on Teves. Before the smiley one could make the cover however, Dashwood sent Rae through the ropes and on top of Rising, allowing the Australian to pick up the scraps and pin Teves after Rae did the work.

Once she realizes what happened, Kylie Rae is irate and tries to get her hands on Dashwood having ended up on the wrong end of her tactics twice now. Luckily for Rae, she won’t have to wait long as the duo will be opponents again on Night Two.

Tenille Dashwood & Harley Cameron vs. Kylie Rae & Miyu Yamashita

When Dashwood was told she would be teaming with a member of the AEW roster, the Australian was understandably hoping it would be her partner in crime, Deonna Purrazzo. Unfortunately for Dashwood, that wasn’t the case. As such, she refused to even cooperate with Cameron and instead simply stood on the apron despite numerous opportunities to tag in.

When Dashwood did finally become the legal participant, it was only when Kylie Rae was down and struggling. Sensing a chance to get yet another one over the Chicago native, Dashwood quickly attempted the Spotlight Kick but was unsuccessful. Instead, Dashwood found herself on the receiving end of a Skull Kick from the illegal Yamashita. Clearly, Yamashita couldn’t resist getting revenge of her own for Dashwood’s suspect victory over her a few months ago in Shine.

Dream Star Grand Prix 2024

September 28th 2024

Tenille Dashwood (6) vs. Natsumi Showzuki (8)

With six participants still in with a chance of securing the top spot in the Dream League and advancing to the final, only one match didn’t play into the final winner. In the opener, Nagisa Nozaki was able to overcome Kouki Amarei to ensure both women finished on 4 points a piece.

The second match of the night had current joint leader Natsumi Showzuki taking on Tenille Dashwood. A win for Showzuki would have ensured she would only need to worry about Utami Hayashishita but things didn’t go as planned. Showzuki held the advantage for much of the match due to her considerable speed advantage, but a missed meteoria proved to be disastrous. With Showzuki clutching her knees in agony, Dashwood connected with a Spotlight Kick to secure the three count and move into the joint first place position.

With two matches to go, Dashwood needs both results to go her way simply to force a playoff. With MIRAI needing the same outcome, she was more determined than ever and took the fight to current favourite Utami Hayashishita. A win for Hayashishita will see her ensure the top spot in the Dream League. MIRAI had other plans and instead secured the victory with three consecutive lariats. Just like Dashwood before her, MIRAI has now joined the joint first place position that currently sits in a four way tie.

NORI and Victoria Yuzuki main event the show and the result will determine the fate of the entire league. A win for either woman will see them win outright by only one point. A draw will see an unprecedented six way tie and force a series of play off matches. What resulted was the longest 15 minutes ever for four women, but it passed in the blink of an eye for both participants. Both women came close on several occasions but a time limit draw was looking likely. With less than 60 seconds remaining though, Yuzuki was able to catch NORI by surprise with the Broken Arrow and score the three count, along with the top spot in the Dream League and a place in the final against Mai Sakurai.

With no further dates scheduled for Marigold, Tenille Dashwood finishes her first Dream Star Grand Prix in joint second place, only one point behind the league winner, Victoria Yuzuki. Had she not lost focus against Kouki Amarei earlier in the tournament, things could have been very different for the Australian. Dashwood now returns stateside having competed her first tour of Japan in her twenty year career.

Nozaki, likewise, has her back up against the wall and returns the aggression with her kicks. Unfortunately for Nozaki, her tournament comes to an early end when the Australian is able to connect with a Spotlight Kick followed by the stump piledriver for the three count. Due to the other participants ahead of her in the standings still having to face each other, Nozaki can no longer even force a play off and is eliminated.

Dashwood started the day sharing the top spot in the Dream League, but things would change drastically over the course of the four matches. With her opponent, Kouki Amarei, already eliminated from contention, Dashwood was accused of overlooking her and it ended up coming back to bite the Australian. With Amarei in position for the stump piledriver, Dashwood took the time to call out her opponent on the final day, Natsumi Showzuki. While doing so, Amarei was able to take away Dashwood’s legs and jackknife into a pin to secure the shock three count. Amarei is already eliminated, but now she has succeeded in making sure that Dashwood’s fate is no longer in her own hands. She now needs other results to go her way on the last day.

Unfortunately for Dashwood, this Victoria Yuzuki is a very different person than the one the Australian refused a handshake from after the match during the summer. Eager to make Dashwood regret her past actions, Yuzuki made it her mission to end the match quickly. She succeeded with her fourth broken arrow attempt to stun Dashwood in only a matter of minutes. After the bell, Yuzuki is quickly in the face of Dashwood, taunting the Australian over the manner of defeat after the lack of respect previously shown.

Dream League Match One

Tenille Dashwood vs. MIRAI

In the opening rounds of the Dream Star Grand Prix, Tenille Dashwood had quite possibly the toughest start she could have asked for. Her first match was against the ever resilient MIRAI who isn’t known for going easy on her opponents. With a second match to follow later in the day, Dashwood tried multiple times to finish the match early, but MIRAI was happy to go the distance. In the end, Dashwood’s eagerness to end the match cost her as she left herself exposed. Not missing the opening, MIRAI connected with a brutal lariat to secure the victory and the first two points of the Dream Star Grand Prix.

While Dashwood tried to end her first match as quickly as possible to a negative result, her tactic for Hayashishita was the exact opposite. Only a few hours earlier Hayashishita went to a time limit draw with NORI. Eager to exploit the potential fatigue from such a long match, Dashwood took it slowly and to the Australian’s credit, it worked. The longer the match went, the more in control Dashwood looked. Eventually, a well placed kick to the knee of Hayashishita provided the opening needed. Dashwood connected with a quick Spotlight Kick but followed it up with a piledriver to make sure of the victory and her first points on the board.

I have to be honest, this is not the match that I was expecting this month.

Coming off of a monumental victory in an unsanctioned match against an absolute psychopath in Giulia, a victory that even the social media team called an upset. A victory that absolutely nobody expected me to pull off. Even my own girlfriend said that she would visit me in the hospital after the match. That’s how unlikely it was for me to come out with my arm raised in victory. Nobody thought I could do it.

Except for one person.

Me.

It’s always been me.

It’s always been all about me.

Hence, why I’m so perplexed about this match up. It doesn’t feel like a number one contenders match. Surely, that would be the next step for the first ever Moonstone Champion, right? Defeated Giulia. Holds multiple victories over the current Moonstone Champion. Has been pinned a grand total of zero times this year. You’d think I’m a lock for the next shot at the Moonstone Championship. But, alas, that’s not the case.

Instead, I’m in a three way match. A match that I don’t even have to be involved in the decision in. If I’m unlucky, I could lose without being beaten. Does that seem fair to anybody? I didn’t think so. But, don’t worry. I won’t be throwing an Allysin sized temper tantrum or anything like that. I’ll take the match.

Mia Rivera, we’ve never met before but that doesn’t mean I’m going to take you lightly. It may not be a number one contenders match like I expected, but I won’t be holding back. I still want to win and show the world why it’s all about me.

As for Dani, once upon a time we started a revolution together. It’s been quite a while since we shared a ring, so I’m kinda looking forward to going another round with you. But don’t get it twisted. We may be friends, but I won’t hesitate to drop you if the chance presents itself. I expect nothing less from you in return.

As I said, I’m not entirely sure why I’m in a three way match instead of a number one contenders match, but it is what is it. I’m going to assume that Lucia has a plan. I don’t know what that plan is, but I assume it’s there.

I do however, have something to say to you, Lucia.

You once told me that I have a special talent for making enemies in the locker room. That’s me being nice.

Lucia, I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt but I do have to ask. Do I need to become a problem? Because if so, I won’t just become a problem.

Giulia’s Farewell Gauntlet

With each match of Giulia’s farewell gauntlet being only one minute long, Dashwood had multiple opportunities to get involved. Including several times when Giulia invited the Australian to come in and fight her one more time. Each time, Dashwood declined. Eventually, she climbed onto the apron but upon seeing Giulia back on her feet, Dashwood hesitated. Giulia backed up only to be ambushed from behind by CHIAKI who clearly isn’t willing to wait for Dashwood to make up her mind.

With a smirk, Dashwood drops back down and lets CHIAKI take advantage of her sneak attack. Despite the strong start, Giulia continued to fight and survived the minute long affair but is clearly worn down from the consistent beating. Finally, Dashwood enters the ring and quickly goes on the attack, knowing she only has a minute to try and beat Giulia for a second time. Dashwood manages to come close on several occasions, but is unable to keep Giulia down before the time limit expires.

Marigold United National Championship

Miku Aono (c) vs. Tenille Dashwood

With this being Giulia’s farewell show, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that Dashwood was looking to steal the headlines for herself by ending Aono’s title reign at the very first defense. At one stage, Dashwood even attempted the Glorious Driver but was unable to connect. Partially due to having never even attempted the move before, partially due to Aono’s resilience as she slipped free and turned the tide of the match.

Following the attempted insult, Aono fired off a series of hard kicks that had the Australian in retreat and reconsidering her choices. Dashwood briefly regained control while cowering in the ropes until Aono got close enough to be pulled into the ropes and hung up. Quickly, Dashwood went for the submission with the Venus de Milo, but Aono rolled free and kept her title reign in tact.

Dashwood did eventually connect with the Spotlight Kick, but Aono ended up too close to the ropes and by the time Dashwood got her to the middle of the ring, Aono had recovered enough to kick out at two. Dashwood tried to connect a second time, but this time Aono avoided it and followed up with a hard kick to the chest. Dashwood gets back to her knees in pain but quickly regrets it.

JCW World Championship

Masha Slamovich (c) vs. Tenille Dashwood

The last time Dashwood and Slamovich shared a ring, they were uneasy allies but you’d never know that based on how the match started. Dashwood foolishly offered a handshake, believing they were still friends but Slamovich responded with a kopo kick to start the match in an aggressive manner. Despite the poor start, Dashwood was able to take control as she focused on the head and neck of Russian Dynamite.

Luckily for Dashwood, the match was JCW rules instead of GCW rules, meaning the Russian had to play within traditional rules. This served Dashwood well as she was able to exploit rope breaks and the officials count to cut Slamovich off and even do a little extra damage on several occasions.

Tenille Dashwood & Bozilla vs. Nanae Takahashi & Nao Ishikawa

Much like their previous outings as a duo, Dashwood opted to start the match on the apron. Largely due to the fact that Bozilla refused to even consider it herself and instead insisted on starting. Bozilla dominated early on as seems to always be the case, but the experienced Takahashi was able to fight back. Before long, Dashwood blind tagged herself in and took control with a cheap shot to the back of Takahashi.

Ishikawa would soon get involved but was unable to decisively turn the tide. For much of the match the upper hand would be traded back and forth. Until Bozilla became legal again. Ishikawa and Takahashi were fully aware that they needed to keep the German out of the match, but Dashwood persisted and got the tag she needed. Soon after, Bozilla was able to connect with a stiff powerbomb to Ishikawa to secure the victory for the team.

With Miku Aono and Giulia in the midst of a highly competitive back and forth contest, the last thing either woman wanted was to see Tenille Dashwood make her way to ringside. Dashwood claimed to be here to provide commentary, despite the fact there is no commentary on the show. Understandably suspicious of her given both women have had their issues with the Australian as of late, Giulia and Aono return their focus to each other while keeping an eye on Dashwood.

Dream Star Grand Prix Qualifying Match

Tenille Dashwood vs. Chika Goto

Having to earn a place in the Dream Star Grand Prix was understandably not something that Dashwood was expecting, but considering the Australian isn’t full time with the promotion, it’s only fair. Dashwood did initially complain about the omission, but soon accepted the reality of the situation and wasted little time in targeting the neck of Chika. Early on it became obvious that Dashwood was going to have a difficult time connecting with the piledriver, so switched her attention to the arms and shoulders of her opponent. The switch worked as the longer the match went, the less effective Chika’s strikes became. It also made the Giant Swing incredibly unlikely, much to the delight of Dashwood. Eventually, Dashwood was able to take Chika down and apply the Venus de Milo to force the verbal submission. The Australian was unhappy with having to qualify, but with a championship match coming up on the 19th of the month, Dashwood is happy to build some momentum and build upon the hard fought victory over Giulia at Eternia’s recent Set Sail for Salineas event.

Myla Grace & Rea Seto vs. Tenille Dashwood & Bozilla

July 28th 2024

Reports are circulating that Tenille Dashwood and long time foe Tegan Nox ended up meeting each other backstage at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport.

Nox was in attendance to support Shayna Baszler, while Dashwood was in attendance to have a closer look at another long time rival in Billie Morgan.

Dashwood and Nox have a well established dislike of each other but it never previously went past cheap shots at each other on social media. That changed at Bloodsport when the duo got physical and had to be pulled apart. Both women were asked to leave the venue shortly after.
