The match begins with the two competitors glowering defiantly at one another as they wait for the bell. It is immediately clear that neither woman is willing to give a single inch in this battle for UKWF’s ultimate prize, and the electric tension between them soon spreads to the crowd in attendance at the Forum; by the time the referee calls for the bell, noise levels are at fever pitch.
This tension carries through to the initial lock-up, as the two women immediately lunge forward and begin jockeying for position in the centre of the mat. Their similar sizes and builds make this an extremely even contest, and the initial impasse lasts for a long few moments, with neither woman being able to fully assert herself over the other.
Eventually – and with both competitors already visibly strained and sweating – it is Juliet Black who manages to gain the upper hand, slipping behind Skylynn and throwing her overhead with a German suplex. The inaugural UKWF Champion quickly rolls through to her feet and rushes at her opponent…only to be met with a huge kick to the midsection, soon followed by a DDT which drops her face-first onto the mat.
This sets the tone for a period of initial dominance from Juliet Black. The perpetual runner-up seems committed to her goal of no longer being second best, and launches into a typically intense and unforgiving working-over of Skylynn. For several minutes thereafter, the redhead is unable to really find a way into the match, as Dublin Trouble puts her rough, hard-hitting style to good use in wearing her opponent down and retaining the upper hand in the match. Stiff chops, knee strikes and forearms all come into play in these early stages of the match, as Juliet puts her opponent through the paces and stakes a claim for herself as a potential United Kingdom Champion. Highlights from this period include a big bodyslam, which leaves Skylynn squirming on the mat, as well as a showcase demonstration of Juliet's many suplex variants – which include T-Bone, snap and the traditional German.
The turning point for Skylynn eventually comes when Juliet goes for a vertical suplex. In spite of her worn-down condition, the redhead is able to somehow slip out of the set-up predicament and squirm her way back to an upright base, landing on her feet behind Juliet. In the split-second it takes Dublin Trouble to realise what has just occurred, the former UKWF Champion is able to connect with a suplex of her own, throwing Juliet across and finally managing to bring herself into the match!
Unsurprisingly, once she has found a way to counter Juliet’s all-out offence, Reed quickly seeks to build up her own offensive momentum, so as to reverse the flow of the match and give herself the all-important upper hand. To achieve this, she makes use of her superior speed and agility when compared to her opponent, adopting a frantic stick-and-move style which Juliet struggles to keep up with.
Unsurprisingly, this approach does not sit well with Juliet. Dublin Trouble visibly loses a little more of her cool every time Skylynn is able to evade another one of her attempts at getting back into the match, instead squirming away and using her long reach and lanky frame to connect with a leg or calf kick.
In this manner, Skylynn is able to, little by little, wear down her opponent's defences, particularly around the leg area. The redhead's kicks audibly make an impact each time, and while Skylynn is perhaps not able to get in close as often as she would like, there is no doubt her strategy is at least partially succeeding.
Eventually, after a few minutes of dodging, weaving, kicking and repeating, Skylynn becomes a little more bold in her offence. The returning wrestler seems aware that simply evading her opponent's attacks will not get her a belt, and therefore takes it upon herself to take her offensive momentum to the next level. As such, and after evading yet another attempt by Juliet to pull her into a suplex, she switches up her counter-manouevre, surprising Dublin Trouble with a single-leg dropkick to the chest! Juliet goes tumbling back into the corner, and Skylynn promptly seizes her chance, rushing forward and pinning her opponent against the corner with a flurry of forearm shots. Caught by surprise, Juliet is unable to react quickly enough to prevent this, and Skylynn inflicts yet more wear and tear on her opponent. Her repeated, quick-fire forearm strikes also have the added effect of making Juliet just hazy enough to provide Skylynn with an opening, which the redhead promptly takes advantage of, lifting her opponent up before dropping her back-first into the turnbuckle with a corner powerbomb!
As Juliet falls to the mat, grimacing in pain, Skylynn – who is now firmly in control – drops down beside her, wrapping herself around the Irishwoman's leg with a kneebar. Given their proximity to the ropes, Juliet is predictably quick to grab onto the cables and break the hold, but Skylynn still makes the most of her allotted five-count, waiting until the referee has counted to 'four' before releasing the hold. Then, as she rolls away from Juliet, she remains in a crouched position, giving Dublin Trouble just enough time to push herself to a vertical position before connecting with a chop block, sending her face-first into the mat!
Juliet cries out as she falls, once again taken by surprise by her opponent, but Skylynn surprisingly chooses not to capitalise. Instead, she backs up a few steps, giving her opponent time and space to push herself back to one knee. As Juliet kneels on the mat, however, the redhead's plan becomes clear, as Skylynn shoots forward and connects with a hard boot to her opponent's head! Juliet crumples once again, and Skylynn covers!
ONE!
TWO!
TH---NO!!!
The Forum crowd roars as Dublin Trouble keeps herself in the match at the last second. Despite Skylynn's best efforts, the Irishwoman is managing to show precisely what she is made of, and no one is more surprised than the Aussie when she kicks out of the knock-out attempt!
Even still, Skylynn knows she must retain the upper hand, and promptly brings her opponent to her feet before connecting with a traditional German suplex, which she bridges for a second pin attempt!
ONE!
TWO!
---Shoulder up by Juliet!
This time, it takes an immense effort for Skylynn to get over her frustration and continue her wear-down of Juliet. Even still, the Aussie eventually manages, and once again brings her opponent to her feet, looking to connect with yet another suplex.
This time, however, Juliet has other ideas. The first forearm rocks Skylynn, the second pushes her away, and a spinning heel kick sends her flying into the corner. This is exactly the chance Juliet has been waiting for, and the Irishwoman promptly lunges forward, rushing towards the corner and unleashing her Violence Party on Skylynn! Chops, forearms and headbutts rain down on the hapless Australian, as her Irish counterpart regains the upper hand in the contest and exacts revenge for the similar situation she found herself in earlier in the match!
Unsurprisingly, having caught Skylynn completely by surprise, the attack is exceedingly effective. By the time her opponent completes the sequence, the young Aussie is dazed, semi-conscious, and slumped down in a seated position in the corner, completely at Juliet's mercy. Dublin Trouble is well aware of this, and promptly seeks to make things even worse for her opponent by sneakily removing the corner turnbuckle pad, as she connects with kicks to Skylynn's chest. Her body blocks her actions from view, preventing the referee from noticing, and Dublin Trouble is therefore able to easily dispose of the padding – an action which brings a mixed response from the Forum crowd. Juliet, however, pays no attention to the noise of the fans, focused as she is on bringing Skylynn to her feet once more and ramming her head into the corner, forcefully and repeatedly! By the time the Irishwoman is finished, her opponent is both woozy and bleeding, her legs like jelly as she stumbles backwards, in a haze.
Seeing Skylynn in perfect position for one of their preferred moves, the crowd forgets all their previous mixed feelings towards Juliet, and unites in a single, raucous chorus:
'CLIT-PLEX! CLIT-PLEX! CLIT-PLEX! CLIT-PLEX!'
This time, the Irishwoman does not ignore the reaction; instead, she clearly acknowledges, raising an arm in the air before stepping in and slipping a hand between her opponent's legs. A moment later, she is throwing Skylynn overhead, as she executes her hugely popular trademark move. The Clitplex connects!
As Skylynn crash lands, Juliet rolls to her feet, clearly intending to put an end to the match. She steps in towards her opponent, seeking to apply some sort of finishing move, but Skylynn appears to have other ideas; in an unexpected and sudden burst of vitality, the Australian slides between her opponent's legs and pulls her into a rollup! The referee counts!
ONE!
TWO!
---NO!! Juliet throws her shoulder up!!
Though ineffectual, however, the predicament has had the effect of rattling the irishwoman enough that she does not immediately react as she and the Aussie roll through to her feet. Instead, she hesitates just enough to allow Skylynn to connect with a desperation Shining Wizard, which knocks her back down onto the mat and buys her opponent some much-needed time!
Skylynn uses this time to head to the corner and regain her bearings. All the while, however, she keeps as much of an eye as possible on Juliet, and the minute she sees the Irishwoman start to stir, she quickly scales the turnbuckle. As such, when Black returns to a fully vertical position, she finds herself at the receiving end of a missile dropkick! She goes flying across the mat, and Skylynn quickly rolls back through to her feet. She waits for Juliet to return to a vertical position, then promptly takes off running, connecting with a devastating Bankshot superkick! Juliet falls back down to the mat, and Skylynn covers!
ONE!
TWO!
THR---NO!!!
The crowd roars as Juliet survives yet again, much to Skylynn's shock. This time, however, the Aussie shakes off her surprise, immediately leaping into action again – literally. She scales the turnbuckle, takes no more than a moment to measure her opponent, then drops back down with her trademark double foot stomp, the Koopa Kick! She covers Juliet again!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE???
NO!!!!
The crowd gasps in shock – as does Skylynn – as the referee frantically points towards the ropes, indicating Juliet has just about managed to place a foot on the bottom cable, breaking the pin.
Once again, Skylynn's face takes on an expression of shock and surprise – if not also a little admiration. However, the Aussie is once again just as quick to shake it off and return to action, seeking to explore her upper hand. With Juliet still out cold and lying perpendicular to the turnbuckle, very much at Skylynn's mercy, the redhead sees her chance, and once again scurries up the turnbuckle. This time, upon reaching the top, she turns around, positioning herself for her delayed rotation moonsault, the Sky High! A moment later, she launches...
...and finds nobody home, as Juliet is just about able to roll out of the way!!!!
The crowd reach boiling point as both women lie on the mat for a long moment, exhausted, barely conscious, and having to re-start their game plans from scratch. Neither competitor seems up to the task at that exact moment in time, however, and both seem more than content to simply lie on the mat and recover. Seeing no reaction from either party, the referee starts his standard ten-count...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Both women begin to slowly stir, each painstakingly rolling over onto their belly.
FIVE!
SIX!
Skylynn pushes herself onto one knee, Juliet beginning to do so as well.
SEVEN!
Skylynn pushes herself to her feet, just as Juliet reaches a knee herself, breaking the count!
As both women stand back up, however, it is clear that one of them is far more aware of her surroundings than the other. Pushing herself upright to find her opponent catching her breath on the ropes, with her back turned, Juliet shakes off the aches and pains and springs into action, stepping forward and leaning in to cup Skylynn's private parts. By the time the horrified Australian realises what has happened, she is being pulled back and thrown overhead with yet another Clitplex! This time, however, Juliet holds on for the bridge, and the pinning predicament!! The crowd roars as the referee slides in to count...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE?
...The Irishwoman's damaged knee gives in just as the referee brings his hand down a third time...
...time slows down...
….the crowd hold their collective breath...
...then explode as the referee indicates the result stands!!! Juliet is the first United Kingdom Champion of the new era!
WINNER in 20:34 and NEW UKWF United Kingdom Champion: Juliet Black
The exhausted Irishwoman treats her ecstatic fans to the rarest of sights – a smile – as she pushes herself to her feet and hobbles over to the referee to be handed her new belt. She takes a moment to look down at it, then holds it up to a roar of approval from the Forum crowd...
...and falls to the mat, as Skylynn's foot connects with the side of her head!
The crowd gasp, then begin to deafeningly boo as Skylynn stands above her fallen opponent, and in front of the shocked referee. The redhead, however, does not let this deter her, and promptly demands a microphone from a ringside technician. Then, as the baffled stage hand offers her one, she brings it to her lips to say four simple, yet forceful words:
Skylynn Reed: I want. A REMATCH.
It is on a shot of the jilted challenger throwing her microphone down, and of EMTs rushing the ring to attend to the fallen Champion, that the broadcast ends.
