Following the 1st break of Glitter, a new theme cues over the PA, Paramore's "Decode". The name that fades into view on the Jumbotron video causes the arena to explode into cheer, as the fans come to their feet.
Travis: Here comes THE FIRST LADY of XWA!!!
Ashley Diamond makes her first appearance of 2009, and she is visibly a completely different woman.
Lucy: Ashley looks in absolutely incredible shape, Travis. That can't bode well for the rest of the Diamonds of XWA.
Travis: This is the woman who raised the bar of female wrestling in North America, of course she would raise it even more for 2009.
As she walks down the ramp, she greets her loyal fans with high fives along the way. Ashley snatches up the mic left on the ring steps, and enters the ring. About 20 seconds of airtime go by as the crowd breaks out into the world famous "Ash-Lee-Di-Mon, *Clap-clap-cla-cla-clap*" chant. As it starts to finally die down, Ashley address the fans.
I've gotta tell you guys, I never get tired of that. Never ever.
The fans explode into yet another boisterous cheer. Ashley motions for everyone to simmer down, and continues.
I can hardly believe that it's been four months since the last time I stood in an XWA ring. Seems like XGames just past last week. But this...this is a whole new season. A new year, and just like like what the Obama administration plans for America, change is in the air in XWA. I look around backstage and I see something I haven't seen since this company's humble beginnings. Focus. And that's good. Because there isn't a female in this company, hell...in this business more focused then I am this year. I won't beat around the bush, people. The goal for this year is real simple...
I want my belt back.
The fans respond with a booming cheer.
Lucy: She was the 1st...and the longest reigning XWA Diamond Champion. She could have very well won it again in 2008, but we all know of the little detour things took for her late last year...
But that's the long term goal. Right now, I have some unfinished business. And that unfinished business lies with a group of females we all affectionately know as "The Black Diamonds"...most notably Michelle Marx & my big sister...Helena Troy.
The cheers quickly turn to boos.
Girls, you know just as well as I do that things aren't done between us. Not by a long shot. It won't be done until one side of this backs down. And you damn well know that I won't quit until one of you beat me to the point where I can't even walk, let alone continue to fight. We're not done girls, but we will be...soon. Which is why I'm out here tonight. You see people, I spent the last four months out in Japan. But not in Tokyo or anything. I've been out in the sticks, training my ass off. Preparing for this season, and for war. Because that's what we have on our hands here, war. And there's a woman who I owe so much to. When no one else wanted to get involved, she threw herself into harms way because of her respect for me...and her hatred of my sister. That woman...is Alundra.
This give segue to the entrance theme of Alundra hitting the PA.
