Jade Cargil vs Trish Stratus

In the audience the crowd were abuzz, excited to see if Trish could back up her words and move on to the tournament finals.

"Trish looking very confident there King!" Madden said as they waited for the match to begin.

"You bet she is Mark, but after watching Jade's match last week, I don't know if even her ring acumen can overcome that strength" Jerry Lawler replied.

If Mark was going to reply he was quickly cut off as Jade Cargil's music blared through the arena. The crowd were on their feet, anxious to get the first glimpse of the amazonian figure and Jade was not one to make them wait. Strutting out onto the stage, Jade stood at the top of the ramp and stood, flexing her muscles and showing herself off in all of her glory. Her wrestling shorts and top were small and revealing, a deep blue in colour that shimmered and reflected the lights in the arena, contrasting against her dark skin while hardly covering any of it. Her ripped abs were on full display and as she flexed her arms the muscle definition was clear for anyone to see.

Once she felt like she had given everyone enough time to take her in, Jade smiled around at the crowd and strutted down the ramp towards the ring. The crowd around her cheered and reached out to touch her and Jade, grateful for their adoration, clapped hands and showed her appreciation for all of them as she approached the ring. Climbing into the ring Jade jumped up to the middle rope and posed again, flexing her muscles again and allowing the crowd another opportunity to see her in all of her glory. Her silver white hair glistened in the flashing of the cameras around her and her expression made it clear that she was here for business and had her sights set on victory.

Jades music faded away and after a few short seconds the always familiar giggle of Lil' Kim sounded and the audience's attention turned from the ring to the entrance ramp. Trish Stratus strutted out onto stage, a huge smile plastered to her face and her golden hair billowing behind her. The glossy material of her black outfit shined in the lights in a very different way to Jade's and the reflection only served to accentuate her curves. Trish struck her own pose for the crowd, one finger raised high but it was noticeable that, unlike Jade who was showered with adoration, There was a spattering of boos mixed in with the reaction to Trish's entrance. It was a minor thing but clearly some of the fans were not fast to forgive Trish's perceived cheating in her previous match and Trish clearly noticed as her smile faltered.

Trish dropped her pose and strutted down to the ring, trying to maintain her aura of confidence though she was clearly annoyed and when she slid into the ring she didn't pose again, instead going to her corner and turning to stare at Cargil who had sat herself on the top turnbuckle of her own corner and was watching Trish with a knowing smile. When Trish's music died Jade hopped down from her corner and the two women advanced on each other, not wasting time as the bell was hastily rung to sound the start of the match.
