Furious (Jamie)

[Tiffany Masterson]

Korn's "Make Me bad" begins to play inside of the Dean Smith Center, and a face who hadn't been seen in a while returns as Tiffany Masterson made haste towards the ring.

Rose: Welcome back to the TakeDown Supershow, and ladies and gentlemen Tiffany Masterson is making her way to the ring. It's been nearly a month since we've seen her in action.

Lucy: That last match saw her on the losing end against Jamie Fury, and now it looks as if Tiffany can change her fortune come Ring Rage...

Rose: Masterson, joining Sonya Robbins, Anjelyka and the Diamond Champion Bianca DiAnaco in the Diamond Crucibal match for the title. I'm quite sure she's going to have some kind of reaction to that.

Tiffany stepped into the ring where a mic waited for her.

So earlier tonight, I was selected to be a part of the women's Crucibal match upcoming at Ring Rage. In that match I will have Sonya Robbins, Anjelyka and fellow countrywoman Bianca Dianaco to contend with and the Diamond Title at stake. This will be the second time I have chance to win that belt and once again it's in a field of multiple competitors instead of a one-on-one encounter like I righteously deserve.

That is all well and good for now, because tonight I intend to each of those women just what it is that they're dealing with. Tonight, my goal is to defeat the woman I failed to defeat the last time I was in this ring, and that is you Jamie Fury.

The fans cheer once Tiffany mentions her name. She rolls her eyes.

Ms. Diamond Dominator, you will not fool me twice. The first time around I was simply not ready for nor expecting to see you perform so well. Tonight I demand another match against you, and this time I will succeed. This time I will be the dominator and then my fellow opponents in the Crucible will know just who the favorite is to win it all.

I know that you're backstage Fury. Come out here and accept this challenge!

[Jamie Fury]

Fury, who also had been out of action what with the schedule changes and all, soon stepped out from backstage as her theme played. The fans were in a frenzy as she stoo don the stage, looking down the ramp to the ring with a mic already in her hands.

So, you think that you're the favorite to win this Crucible, Tiffany? I think most people will agree you have a legitimate shot to win, but the favorite? I think that's a debatable statement right there.

I've seen enough of Anjelyka and Bianca's matches to know that they're every bit as capable as you...and Sonya? What more can I say, she is still the only woman in over a year to have beaten me one on one...so I know that she could just as easily kick your head off and become the new Diamond Champion.

Speaking of the Diamond Title, before I even start with tonight...I want to look to the future. Most of you all know that I have a clause in my contract from last season that states that I have a rematch for the Diamond Championship anytime this year because I lost the belt at the Devil's Playground and couldn't get a shot again for XGAMES. Well...I'm officially cashing it in at ONLY THE STRONG. That means that to whoever wins this Diamond Crucible match...I've got next!

The fans cheer on.

Rose: Wow, Fury's just officially set her rematch date. Huge news!

Now as for tonight Tiffany, you say that you're the one who's going to be the dominator? I'd like to see that, I really would. I know all too well of your reputation and that if you wanted to you could really turn it on. After the last match between us, I hope you've realized that it's not a matter of just wanting to. You're going to need to turn it on if you stand a chance again me. I only know one way to work and that's "forward, forward, forward", giving everything I've got until I've got no more.

There isn't the bit of preparation in the world that's going to get you ready to step in the ring with me. I know you've probably been training really hard the last month, the problem with that though is that I have been too.

So tonight, we are going to see exactly where you stand in the big picture...in the title picture. Just remember that if you do manage to win the big one, the same woman you fought a month ago...the same one you're fighting tonight...will be the one you'll be fighting for the Diamond Title in one month's time. At least you'll be able to say that you know what you're dealing with.

[Tiffany Masterson]

Hmph...that will be the woman that I defeat tonight then, Jamie.

Tiffany snickers at her opponent, bursting with overconfidence.

And after I've won the Diamond Title at Ring Rage, you'll be the woman who I defend the title against. Then...there will be no doubt in anyone's mind who is the "cream of the crop" here, because I will not just have beaten one of the best, but several of them.

I am truly looking forward to this next few weeks. Good luck in your quest to regain the Diamond Championship, Fury. You'll need it.

Lowering her mic, Tiffany's theme begins to play again as the scene comes to a close. Before the show goes to a break, the announcers...

Matt: Is it me, or does Tiffany sound as if she's overlooking Fury here and has her focus solely on Ring Rage? That's not a very smart move.

Rose: This Crucible is going to be a tall order for everyone involved...but Tiff's got a tall order of it's own in trying to defeat the Diamond Dominator tonight.
