Xplosion – November 2nd, 2011
From the iMPACT Wrestling Zone in Orlando, Florida
Announced by Jeremy Borash and Taz
Madison Rayne vs. Brook Tessmacher.
Rayne starts off with a gentle flirting with official, Earl Hebner, which Hebner shrugs off. The two Knockouts tie up and Tessmacher throws Rayne down sharp. Rayne complains to Hebner but nothing doing, and Tessmacher rolls Rayne up in a schoolgirl pin for a two. Rayne kicks out and again protests to Hebner. Rayne with a clothesline, ducked, crucifix pin again gets a two for Tessmacher, and once again, Rayne speaks to Hebner about it. Hebner again shrugs her off and Rayne turns into a dropkick from Tessmacher. Rayne rolls outside to catch her breath… and grabs a mic. “Timeout! Back up princess, this isn’t a bikini competition”, Tessmacher says as she enters the ring again. “Earl. What are you doing?” Rayne then strokes Hebner’s chest, stating that he liked it a few weeks ago, to which Hebner grabs the mic and ejects it from the ring, again diverting Rayne’s attention and Tessmacher attempts to takefull advantage, but Rayne gets an eye-rake in. Rayne then drills Tessmacher’s head into the corner buckle, and raises her foot into the larynx of Tessmacher in the corner as we head to a break.
We come back with Tessmacher in a headlock, coming up and elbowing her way out out it. She bounces off the ropes, but is caught and Madison gets a vertical suplex off, keeping hold of the head of Tessmacher to rise up and deliver a neck breaker after. Madison covers and barely gets a two count.
Rayne grabs the hair of Tessmacher and drills her face into the mat, then wrapping her legs around Tessmacher’s head, turning over and drilling her head into the mat several times with the use of her thighs. Once again Earl Hebner gets the flirt-treatment from Rayne, who covers Tessmacher for another just-about-two count.
Rayne attempts to pick Tessmacher up, but Tessmacher gets the reversal on with a jaw breaker to give her the advantage. Both bounce off the ropes, and Tessmacher uses the hair to bulldog Rayne to the canvas. Rayne is first up after a few seconds, but Tessmacher gets a gut shot in. Rayne feels some forearms, and Tessmacher whips her off. It’s reversed, baseball slide from Tessmacher and a clothesline follows. Doubled up. Then a pair of forarms to Rayne’s face as Tessmacher continues the momentum. Belly to back, forward face plant and a cover by Tessmacher results in two.
Tessmacher backs Rayne into the corner, then whipping her off, but Hebner is in the way. The two exchange words as Tessmacher lines up a right hand on Rayne, who then falls romantically into Hebner’s arms. Earl can’t believe his luck and lets out an almighty “whooooo” and goes in for the kiss, successfully planting one right on Madison Rayne’s lips! Hebner is invigorated, prancing around like a schoolboy as Tessmacher goes to high-five him, but Rayne, well, gets a schoolboy (or schoolgirl, as it probably should be called here) pin on her, and gets the three count! A smitten Earl Hebner rings the bell, giving Rayne the win, sending an airborne kiss to Madison as she exits up the ramp. Madison dry-heaves up the ramp as Tessmacher looks on disheartened by this loss.
Winner: Madison Rayne via Pinfall.
