Usually Sun has Xtina’s number but Canadian Dynamite was too much for Sun this night and she goes on to be the #1 contender for the winner of the Sabrina/Kat match for the TV title.
While Kat has held and lost the TV title, Sabrina is looking for her first taste of gold. Will she get it in her long-awaited rematch with Kat?
TV Title Recap
You might remember that Kat was the first TV Title winner beating Sabrina in France. Then, Kat lost the belt to Xtina, and Xtina in turn, lost it to Krystin. Jen Needles broke Krystin’s hand in a post-match ambush causing a need for an interim TV title. (yes, Gabrielle suspended and fined Jen).

Wasn’t there a special stipulation to this match? Vote to see what’s coming up on Wednesday!
It’s on like Donkey Kong, bitches!
What’s the point of being in Damage Inc if they aren’t going to help Sun win her matches? It’s less a heel stable then it is a collection of gym buddies, one of whom has a tendency to quote Il Principe.
quote who? Oh I get it. It’s your trying to be posh and all private school. That’s a Brit thing, isn’t it…
Ugh. Machiavelli, you ginger slag. Bloody Yanks think a “classical education” involves music lessons.
Phhht! I’ll have you know I’m an alum of the school of hard knocks.
And don’t go knocking classical music. I love the Doors, Elton John, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys. And Blood, Sweat and Tears is the story of my life. They had a line on the future. Must have been the shrooms. No, not the ones growing in your locker. Jeeze!
The story of your life is “Tears of a Clown”
Yah, I was surprised to not see them ringside looking after her. Sun may have something to bitch about when she comes back to the lockers.
Having to win a match by herself isn’t something she should be complaining about, winning matches by herself (unless its a team match of course) is what she’s supposed to be doing!!
I don’t expect the my Upstart Nation girls to cheat for me XP
Maybe Sun didn’t want their help in the match unless she was ambushed.
Well that’s just silly.
Will Sabrina win? Probably.
Will it be clean? Not if the special guest ref has anything to say about it.
…REVENGE!!!
So you don’t think Albone will give us a big surprise with a Sabrina upset?
‘Revenge’ is a big theme in the next match.
Nicely done Xtina. It’s good to keep the rug rats in their places.
But this rematch is going to steal your thunder I’m afraid. So make the best of it and take notes. You can beat either of them of you set your mind to it. Now could be your time!
Xtina could go all the way if she doesn’t lose!
I do of course recall the special stipulation, of course: A special guest referee. Tyrannus believes it’s De Sade. All I can say is that the drawing makes the ref appear tall and slender. That does seem a fair description of her, I must admit.
No, I think its Brooke.
I think it’s Batman.
I know a really big surprise one of the FAWN girls!
I like your thinking. Many are willing and able to perform that task.
What, count to three? 😀
Yeah, something for you to aspire to hehee

*removes Brenda from present list*
*points and laughs at Brenda*
…
*adds Brenda to present list…draws additional lines through Callie*
Of course Sun lost. Cause she’s been playing “good girl” lately. Go back to bending the rules, Sun.
No Sun lost so she would have to face Sabrina,
Are you suggesting that Sun lost so she wouldn’t have to face Sabrina? Or she DOES want to fight her?
*Gives you a sharp glance* hmmm
All I can think is “Is Kat juicing still?” Cuz honestly, Kat Smith didn’t beat Sabrina. Steroids did.
Juicy Kat now that sounds like a great title.
Kat didn’t beat Sabrina… ALL THREE BELLES did.
I’m thrilled you guys remember. 🙂
I approve of this match. I did say more people should get Sharpshooter’d, and this match had the maximum possible number of people getting Sharpshooter’d.
.. Unless you count the ref, but apparently people don’t like it when you put them in Sharpshooters.
The Refs tend to protest about that sort of thing yes.
They protest a lot really.
They are a protesting sort!
I must say I thought Sun would be more flexible than that. I figured we’d see her feet nearly touching her head before she quit. Maybe the Stretch Muffler and the Canadian Backbreaker earlier in the match wore her down!
Wow, she used this move then lost to it. You’d think she would have remember how her opponent got out of it.
Well it looks like Xtina was probably closer to the ropes. Sun’s not really a submissions chicky so she probably forgot you’re supposed to do moves like that near the middle of the ring.
The dif is that Xtina had the strength to power up off the canvas. She could then make it to the ropes. Sun was planted on her belly deep enough to grow roots. Want me to show ya? 😀
More than just strength is the size of the person they have to power off of them. Xtina looks to run around 130-140. Sun’s a buck-ten soaking wet.
I can almost remember back to when I was 110. Was just passing through. But for a while I’d drop in for a visit when I’d cut weight for a match.
I’d have taught Sun a thing or two. But she’d have been in diapers. Dang!
I didn’t know you started wrestling when you were six.
Hmmph Yer no lightweight either, except when it comes to your technique 😉
Indeed! My technique IS light, graceful and agile, especially in comparison to your Lumbering-Hippo-Fu.
I’d take that lesson Brenda! I’m always keen to learn technique even if I have to be the victim of the technique to learn it!
‘Course as my coach is fond of saying, “you can’t teach size.”
But in Brenda’s case, you can sure pad it with a few extra trips to the freezer…
(Bleep)er.
(Bleep)ed.
At this rate Baby ‘Brina’s first word will be Bleep!!
…
Which is probably better than the alternative XP
What the French Toast is going on with all these Bleeps?
And what exactly do pinecones taste like?
Hold on, I’ll get Lizzie to find out…
Hey Rival Angels is a family-type TV show. Now, you go see it live, all BLEEPS are off
Why do I get a bad feeling about this match and the next one coming up… 🙁
I mean what if it leads to a fight between Sun and Sabrina ?
Can their friendship last an actual wrestling title fight between the two of them ? 🙁
I think is Sun lost to Sabrina she would respect her more.
I think Sun and Sabrina can survive a title fight. Can they survive the fight in Japan, where Sun and Sabrina were screaming at each other? THAT’S the question.
I know folks are worried about Chloe being the special ref, and by the VI I’d say it’s likely. Kat doesn’t look happy at all about it. And Brina is stunned. De Sade may not like Ultra Girl but she certainly can’t be overjoyed at Powergirl replacing her or how she’s run the Belles.
You make good points there. But what about the bat-like shadows in panel 3?
I’m not worried..
I’m happy…
CHLOE DE SADE!!
THE RETURN OF THE REINE BLANCHE!!!
She’s still suspended for 3 more months right? She’s probably off doing something with her free time. This whole special guest ref thing was last minute, she could be out of the country for all we know.
if Chloe De Sade return..
WOOOWW!!
Chloe help Sabrina…
White Queen and Ultragirl..
combine…
YEY!!!
Sabrina vs. Xtina would be a good solid match. I could see Sun helping Sabrina in the Interm TV championship because Xtina turned the tables on Sun, and Sun’s all about getting back at people that Wong her. heh
This is excellent analysis.
good to see that Xtina got her what i feel is her needed win. and classic heel tech by Sun trying the “Beat you with your own move” bit. was surpsied no Damage Inc folk were around to help, Krya tends to lurk wherever Sun is after all.
as for the interm tv title- i must say having Angel Soprano and Jen Needles flanking you doesn;t do too much to send shivvers of fear down my spine.
as for the masked ref it appears no one is happy with the choice as Kat thinks Brina’s behind it and Brina looks to be stunned speechless. so that clearly means it must be none other than
(yeah i got nothin- ah i’ll say Cocoa just to have a name in the mix)
Sun losing like that is a cautionary tale of trying to beat someone at their own game. Fighting your game is what GSP and Ronda Rousey do.
Jen and Angel resent your comments!
That’s good analysis with the VI…of course I can’t say if you’re on the right track or not. 😉
hmm it ate part of my reply again. either that or the display doesn’t like the bracket symbols much, after the than i had (internet connection lost) typed but with brackets, as a joke to cut off my “revelation” of the special guest ref….
Hmmm, Sun’s move seems to have backfired on her. And hey, looks like Sabby is still the fan favorite. I bet Rival Angels makes a ton of money off the merchandise.
Making yourself marketable is half the battle.
The fans eat her up!
Not pleased with the outcome. Sun should’ve stuck to her strategy instead of getting flashy and trying to use Xtina’s move. Sun’s not as good at it as Xtina is, and she’s smaller and less muscular to boot. Use that time to try to pound Xtina’s head into the mat, and it may have turned out differently.
It will be really… interesting to find out who the special ref is.
Yep, Sun tried to get cute and beat Xtina at her own game, something that (should) rarely work and in this case, backfired. Sun’s smart, she’ll learn from this (plus, she’s still up in their series, which we know is the important thing) XD
Besides, Sun is a proper heel. Should she get asked about her loss, she’d just lie about losing. XD
Small technical quibble… the move Xtina uses to beat Sun looks more like a cloverleaf than a sharpshooter. The later involves lacing your opponent’s legs around one of your own (and indeed is the move Sun uses in the first panel), but neither of Xtina’s legs are positioned between Sun’s. Which is basically a cloverleaf, which is a great move itself, but not what you had in mind I think?
No comment. XD
(but thanks! Good catch, and if I had them, you’d get a No-Prize) 😉
The reason Xtina got the tap is because she cranked down a lot lower and deeper in that hold. Sun didn’t have Xtina bent far enough.
Sun got over confident and tried to step out of her comfort zone and into Xitina’s. Maybe she’ll learn to stick to the old wrestling saying “Dance with what brung ya”
Sun’s smart. She’ll learn the lesson from this. 😉
I believe Sabrina’s going to pull it out. If she can beat Black Widow, I’m sure Katherine will no longer prove to be such a challenge. Then again, we hadn’t really seen Katherine in action since before Sabrina went to Japan, so there’s no telling what new tricks, if any, she has up her sleeve. That said, if Sabrina wins here, I believe she’ll beat Krystin, if it comes to that, to become the true TV Champion, setting up Sabrina vs. Xtina for the title, which I remain sure will be a good match.
Oh. I must be tired. I read Dawn say Xtina will face the winner of Katherine vs. Sabrina for the TV Championship, and it did not register at all. I think I need to get some sleep.
Great that Xtina won, she´s a good girl :).
I will be surprised if Sabrina loses the coming fight. The guest ref can certainly play an important role during the match.
Guys, take a look at the illustration on the left side up top. That’s our guest ref. And Mo Chen no think it’s Chloe any more. A really dark thought has entered my head and I pray I’m not right.
Dave Hebner?
