It’s a bad, bad landing for the champion

CRASH!!!!!!!!!

That’s the sound that Io’s body landing makes, because Toni had either just gained consciousness in time to move out of the way, or she had sucked Io in. And by the way Toni quickly sat up and began laughing, it was likely the latter, especially as she saw Io lying motionless.

“So, so stupid! The match didn’t even begin yet, Io! And you didn’t even try to strip me!” Toni shouts, wincing from the prior **** as she slowly gets back to her feet, a big smile on her face. “Now, you’re finished! That title, and your dignity, are as good as gone for you!” She boasts, striking a pose for the silent crowd, they were concerned about Io after that horrible landing on the steel ramp, before walking towards her fallen foe and going to grab her by the hair. However, as she does, refs and trainers suddenly get between them, checking on the Joshi Judas.

“What are you doing? She has a match to get to!” Toni shouts, trying to push past them. However, as she gets to Io again, Regal himself comes out as a ref pulls Toni back, the GM demanding Toni get away. The Rockstar looks upset, before shrugging and holding her hands up innocently, walking towards the ring and sliding in, striking her signature Rock and Roll pose, the crowd booing her for her arrogance.

“You may as well crown me right now! Because of how utterly STUPID Io is!” Toni shouts, cackling like a mad woman, gesturing for the belt while the boos get louder, the crowd now more focused on the blonde than the scene of Shirai getting checked in by medics. Just how Toni wanted it, to be in the spotlight always.

“I bet this match goes what: two minutes? Enough for me to strip her, and then make her tap out to a chin lock!” While the Aussie was riling up the crowd with her bragging, the trainers were talking with Regal, who sighed and whispered something to a ref. The ref nods and walks over to the timekeeper’s area, starting a conversation with the ring announcer.

“What’s the big idea? The match is when I want, and I want it tonight! It can’t be postponed!” Toni shouts, sounding utterly shocked and maddened by even the very idea of her match being postponed, when, probably two and a half minutes ago, she would have begged for it with Io assaulting her.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I have just been informed that Io Shirai is unfit to compete tonight!” The ring announcer shouts, in a somber and sad tone while the crowd boos, although they weren’t as upset as Toni was.

“What? The match is tonight!” Toni screams, ducking her head through the ropes to yell at the ring announcer, before turning to the ref, having something to say to him too. She felt that this was so unfair to her, however the next words out of the announcer’s mouth were sure to turn her whole mood around.

“So…your winner, via forfeit…and NEW NXT Women’s Champion…Toni Storm!” While the announcer had said the words with the required amount of verve and volume, everyone could notice just how hesitant he was, with how cocky Toni had been growing. However, that was soon tuned out by two different sources: the crowd, and the new champion herself.

“Bulllll-Shit! Bulllll-Shit!”

“This Is Bull-Shit! This Is Bull-Shit!”

“You Don’t Deserve It!”

“Give me my title!” Toni screams in the ring at the ref, ignoring the outrage from the crowd, while the ref sighs and gets handed the belt by one of the trainers not helping Io to her feet, handing it to a happily shocked Storm. Who gave a damn about the match? She just wanted to be champion, she could humiliate Io anytime she wanted! Especially now that she was the champion!

“Raise my hand!” Toni shouts, holding the belt in one hand and looking at it like she was transfixed. The ref sighs and raises the new Champion’s arm, while the crowd’s boos get louder, nobody could believe this, even the commentators were in various states of shock and disbelief, had Toni really just won the title…by doing nothing?

“No! No! No!”

“Oh shut up! And get used to this sight, because I’m going to be champion for a very. Long. Time.” Toni proclaims, laughing at the crowd and making mock crying motions, before holding up her title, and awaiting the cameras to cut to black with the last scene being her dominant.
