“Six women will walk into this Extreme Elimination Chamber. Five women believe that they can take this.
And, you’re all wrong.
The one? That’s who is going to walk away with the biggest prize in this company —the Universal Women’s Championship. That’s me. For 166 days, I have been your defending, fighting, conquering and greatest Universal Women’s Champion of all time. I have been the woman who has stepped up against your so-called heroes and exposed them for being the frauds that they are. I conquered Bea Valentine at Pain for Pride and did so once again at Midsummer Massacre. I knocked Daniella Atlas a couple of pegs to the point that she needed to go crying to Minerva to save her pathetic career. I destroyed KASAI (like I always do) and this dumb bitch wants to go for another round? She shouldn’t even be in this Chamber. She is the one sneak in this match that we should all gang up on and eliminate her first.
Who’s with me?
Well, think about it, ladies.
I’ve taken part in two of these Chambers in the course of my career. The last time I walked into an Extreme Elimination Chamber as the Universal Women’s Champion, I walked out with my reign still intact. Last year? I had to watch someone else retain their championship. I had to swallow the bitter pill of submission, knowing that I could not find myself going deeper into the dark abyss I experienced. It led me to an even darker path. It left me more dejected than I had anticipated. I did not want to be here at all. I was disassociated to the point where I could not care about anything —not even championship gold. There was no point in staying somewhere that wasn’t working out for me. I did the one thing that not many people have the balls to do and that was leave. It’s advice that I’d recommend to anyone who has ever went through what I have went through. I can’t say that you’d have the same success rate as me. At the end of the day, none of you are Ms. Extreme. Some of you are individuals, others of you are reheating my nachos and a special collection of you, I wish you weren’t you and that you’d just go away. The five of you can figure out which list you belong in and be offended all you want, but when it comes to my Universal Women’s Championship, I am not planning on playing nice. I have a lot of history with the women in this match. I’ve stood toe-to-toe with some of the women here. I’ve stood across the ring with them. I have defeated them, time after time again. Now, I have to do the same thing again, so that I can be in the right path to reinserting myself back in the history books once again.
From the last time that I walked into the Chamber as Universal Women’s Champion, I’ve changed, I am no longer the same woman that I was. I have taken approaches that are not popular in the locker room. I have said things that’s offended a lot of people. I have carried myself like the woman that I was meant to be other than who everyone else wanted me to be. A lot of people have turned on me. A lot of people have made it vocal that they don’t like how I carry out my business and honestly, I don’t care. For the first time in years, I feel more like myself than I ever have before. If you can’t handle what I have to say, well, there’s four other competitors that you can be talking to. I want to retain my championship. I want to secure my Female Elitist of the Year Award, Female Promoer of the Year, Female Match of the Year Award, Return of the Year, Comeback of the Year, and ALL the awards that I can get my hands on! I want it all and walking out of this Extreme Elimination Chamber will give me the path to do that. And since this Chamber is designed to eliminate, I am going to show you all my process. I know all about the structure. I know all about you guys and what you’re capable of. I have analyzed your strengths and weaknesses, I know what I am going to need to do to knock you off one-by-one.
ARIA, I’m so glad that you can participate, so you can see me name-drop you up close and personally.
You should be fortunate that you are able to defend yourself this time around rather than staying at home and being upset that I compared you and KASAI. I mean, I don’t blame you on being upset. I mean, have you talked to KASAI? Have you been in the room with her for more than five minutes? You’d be ready to bash your head against a wall after hearing her trying to cut a promo.
Yikes.
How has “staying alive” been for you since the last time we faced off? You got your first big break of the entire season by defeating Saori Aizen last week on Voltage. And, now, you are planning to capitalize on that momentum by doing the one thing that was expected from you the moment that you lost the Specialists Championship, right? You think that it’s all going to fall into place, finally? The fact that you took a season off, returned and while things haven’t been so hot for you, it’s all going to be worth it in the end? It’s not. While the match against Saori Aizen showed that you can be a dangerous opponent, you are not consistent. You had one moment in the sun. You managed to get yourself a meaningful victory and qualify for this match, but you’re not going to be stepping into the ring with some of the best in this company. You are going to be stepping into the ring with one of the most dangerous women that this company has to offer. A woman who had to suffer time after time after time to achieve the success that she’s currently holding at the moment. A woman who needed to break herself down and make herself new. A woman that would find more peace in being hated than for being loved. I thought that you were on the money when you turned on these fickle fans. I thought that you were starting to figure things out the moment that you were going to get somewhere, but not even a new change in personality was able to save you, ARIA. What makes you think that the Universal Women’s Championship is going to save you from completely going down under? That’s the thing with trying to bet on yourself, it doesn’t work out for people like you. It’s like betting on the New Orleans Saints on making it to another Super Bowl. What would make you into making a dumb decision like that? Especially, when your best shot of becoming World Champion was the year that you lost the Specialists Championship? In 2025, that’s not going to happen. You can bet on yourself on getting the job done, but don’t bet Voltage’s entire entrance budget when you do that. volatility may be seen as something great in an Extreme Elimination Chamber, just like it was seen as something good in your match with your Deathmatch against Saori, but none of that matters when you aren’t consistent. If you can figure that shit out, maybe, you could do something great.
It’s a shame, Holly.
There is always going to be a part of me that roots for you. Not because of pity, but because I know there’s something special within you. Imagine how I felt when you got eliminated first in the Extreme Elimination Chamber? Imagine how I felt when I was able to knock you unconscious at Fighting Spirit? I felt frustrated because I know that you have that fire in you, sweetheart. While there’s going to be a ton of other bitches that want to tear you down even more, I want you to ignite that fire and be the woman that you were always meant to be. You and I could not be any more different, sweetheart. We have had our share of mental battles. We have fought within ourselves to trudge forward when everything around us is telling us to quit. The difference between you and I is that: I’ve quit and you haven’t. You are still in that particular stage where you keep pushing yourself forward, going through the motions and wondering when all of this is going to be worth it. When will Holly Arrow be happy once again? When will Holly Arrow feel satisfied with herself? When will Holly Arrow do the one thing that has been expected of her and win that single’s championship? It should have been back at Grand Rampage with the Interwire Championship. It should have been back at Territorial Invasion with the Specialists Championship. You have no sense of direction going for yourself. You, just like KASAI, will cling to any title that shines directly at your face. You need titles for validation. I know better than that. The Universal Women’s Championship is proof that I survived. While there’s no fault in being an opportunist, there is fault in thinking that you can minimize your worth just for the sake of championship gold. It makes you look cheap, darling. I’d be caught dead going after something like the Specialists Championship making an ass out of myself and thinking that I can be a World Champion the FPV after. Just couldn’t be me. You need to work on yourself. You need to work out this fear of being a champion because if you want to be World Champion, you are going to have all of that pressure on you. You have been continuing forward with the same, rocky foundation that has broken down with every step you take, every move you make and I need to wonder? Where’s the desire to change that? When are you going to put the genuine effort to fix yourself from within? That’s the only way that you are going to accomplish something. You were never going to be the next Minerva. You were never going to be the next Kassidy Heart. I mean, who’d want to be those bitches, anyway? You aren’t even going to be the next Ms. Extreme. But, you have the chance to be the first and only Holly Arrow and create the story of your career brick-by-brick. You make claims like you can’t let this industry break you, but it already has. You may think that you can’t be an industry titan, but you have the power to redefine that term, so that you can be that. That could start at Road to Redemption and while, you won’t become Universal Women’s Champion, I hope this leads you down the path that you need the most.
Well, Raven, it’s been a while, old friend.
At Pain for Pride, you did it. You and Rex won the Unified Tag Team Champions for the second time ever. I assume that feels good. The two of you taking a couple of years off the road, setting into the married life, enjoying each other’s company and this place hadn’t crossed your minds. You were living MY dream, of course. Something that I look to do on the day I no longer have to carry this championship around. I look forward to the day where I don’t need to wake up and travel to the next show. I look forward to do where I can just leave this place behind and find some solace in my life. But, alas, I got champion duties to cover from. You know that, right? The life of being a champion doesn’t stop. I haven’t stopped since I returned back at Fighting Spirit. I don’t look to stop at Road to Redemption or beyond that. I have been putting on my best performances since returning. I have been a woman that no one has been able to stop and defeat. I have been the woman who has been heads and shoulders above the other wrestlers in this company. You haven’t done much talking about that. You prefer to let your actions do the talking inside the ring. You talked about efficiency, but you can’t rely on that the moment that you step into the Extreme Elimination Chamber. This is one of these matches where efficiency and organization is not going to help you with getting the job done. I know that you’re a tremendous wrestler. You aren’t the loudest talker. It’s what has made you dangerous in the ring. People won’t know when you strike. In the blink of an eye, you could eliminate me from this match. You could snatch this championship from me. Nothing more than a silent alarm that I need to disable before everyone else gets involved. You have been in the middle of Milli and Holly’s little beef on Dynasty, but you have done the best you can to make yourself not forgotten. This match can lead you to being a double champion. If that doesn’t solidify your claim as a future Hall of Famer, I don’t know what will. You are a tremendous talent. Someone I wanted to face during my reign. It’s rather unfortunate that it has to be underneath all of these circumstances, but if I need to get through you in order to keep this reign going, it’s what I am going to do. I expect for you to do the same thing at the expense of me. You and Rex have carried the Tag Team Division on your back all season. That takes a lot of credit. But, Rex is someone else you can rely on when it comes to carrying the division. I only have myself to rely on when it comes to carrying women’s wrestling on my back. I have been carrying this championship and division for the better portion of Season 19 and I am not looking to change that any time soon. This is one of the first times in a while where you’re in a high-stakes match and you won’t look to your side and see Rex.
Are you truly ready for that, Raven?
Oh, Milli, are you really ready to tackle on the Extreme Elimination Chamber once more?
I genuinely hope that you are. But, you need to remember your own words: “you don’t rush peace.”
For that reason, this Universal Women’s Championship is not going back to you. You rushed the process of peace by returning here in the first place. You got knocked the fuck out by Veena Adams at Pain for Pride and you didn’t stay down long enough. You got up prematurely because why? Do you miss wrestling that much? Did you miss stepping into this ring? Did you want to believe that deep down, you can still be that bitch? You refused to spend the days bed rotting and watching Netflix while someone like me continues to thrive and get everything that she’s fucking deserved for about three years now? Is that it, here? You are the biggest threat in this match here, Milli. Last year, we were in the final two. We beat the hell out of each other and then, you made me submit to retain the Universal Women’s Championship. This year? I’m looking to return the favor. To be able to secure a victory against you, that would make me extremely happy. It would make me happy to burst the bubble on this idea that you found your footing around here. You think that you’ve found your footing, but the fact is that you never lost it. You want to make yourself think that you did, but losing at Pain for Pride, does not equal being “washed” or whatever self-deprecating term you want to call yourself. You lost at Pain for Pride because you were a dumbass and got yourself hurt in the beginning stages of the match. But hey, that happened to me once upon a time. I was once a young, reckless, idiot, who managed to fumble some of the biggest opportunities of my career because I had a great idea in the back of my head. That’s what happened to you. The same woman who didn’t let the loss of the Specialists Championship get to her was the same woman who began to have doubts placed inside her mind because of one loss at a big stage. If that was enough to break you then, the Extreme Elimination Chamber is going to fucking destroy you this year. I know what you’re capable of. I know what you can bring to a match like this. You have a reason to be in this match. You want to prove that you’re not just a memory? You want to prove that you can still achieve supremacy? That you can still be the woman that you used to be? I’d like for you to prove that as well. But, I’m not here to allow everyone a free gateway to a World Championship. I am not here to play charity for any of you women in the match. I have a chip on my shoulder from last year, something that I look to rectify this year. You may have had nothing hold you back last year, but it’s a whole different ball game this year and you’re going to strike out when it comes to thinking that you’re road to getting this championship back is going to be anything, but simple.
And for you, KASAI.
Not even fucking worth my time. The fact that you managed to sneak yourself into another World Championship picture is beyond fucking ridiculous. I have nothing to prove to you. I defeated you at The Last Stand. You are nothing more than a disappointment in this match up. When it comes to you, you are nothing more than a pressure plate. The cheapest warning system that I’ll step out over and on my way to the door to the Universal Women’s Championship. You will be easy to overcome. When it comes to the other women in the match, you are the weakest link. But, you’ll manage to be annoying to me and everyone else, but what else can I expect from you? You let your emotions get the best of you and do you know how I respond to emotional women like you? I destroy them. I say “fuck your feelings” and destroy every single bit of emotion that you hold near and dear to your heart. At The Last Stand, everyone saw you fumble another championship opportunity. At Road to Redemption, people are looking to see who will take you out from the match. If I have to eliminate you and destroy any sweet thoughts that you have of being a champion again, I will do that. The fact that you are still alive and kicking is my mistake. I thought maybe with your fourth or fifth lease on life, you’d not take it for granted. I thought that you’d be smarter about what you do next. I thought that you would go after something…attainable, but I guess, I shouldn’t have given you the benefit of the doubt again. I guess, I should have realized that once an idiot, always an idiot.
To me, you are all high security locks; the Extreme Elimination Chamber is the vault and Ms. Extreme is nothing more than the master thief. One-by-one, you women will be exploited, dismantled and dejected. You will be leaving New Orleans empty-handed while I will walk out with the biggest prize of them all.
#AndStill.”
