The revolution is now (Invite)

The Crystal Method's "Acetone" cues over the PA. The Bryce Jordan Center comes alive as Cyn Nister steps out from behind the set.

Travis: Here comes one of the hottest, physically and literally...females in the XWA. The 2009 Hot Body, and the woman who came just one elimination from being #1 contender for the Pearl Title, Cyn Nister!

Tony: One of the most dynamic female competitors I've personally ever seen. There's no doubt in my mind that she's a future champion here in XWA, if not a future legend in the sport. She does things in that ring that make even some of the male superstars look like amateurs.

Cyn makes her way down to ringside met with cheer and fan fair. It was a completely different feel then when she made her XWA debut in late 2009. You got the sense that the at one point cold and calculating femme fatale had warmed up a bit. She enters the ring and after strutting her stuff for the viewing pleasure of the fans, calls for a mic.

Women's wrestling has come a long way since it's birth back in the 50's. It evolved into something akin to the competitiveness of men's pro wrestling, but over time de-evolved into scantily clan former models clawing and scratching each others eyes out. Of course, in the early part of the decade, it all began to change again. Women in this sport started taking it more seriously. They started to hone their craft. And then suddenly, you had females who were starting to outshine their male counterparts in all aspects of the sport. The trend has continued, and Women's wrestling has come full circle. In that regard, I can say I'm happy to be an XWA Diamond. Because we represent the very pinnacle of women's wrestling. And there is but one female in this company who represents us all.

That woman is you, Ashley Diamond.

The mere mention of her name ignites an Earth rumbling crowd from Ashley's fellow Pennsylvanians.

Since the humble beginnings of the Diamond Division back in 2007, there has been no female more influential to it's success then you. There has been no superstar, male or female...more consistent then you. You've appeared on every show. You've competed in every PPV. We all accept the designation of "Diamond" when we sign on the dotted line to compete here. But as far as I'm concerned, there's only one true Diamond in XWA, and that's the one who's last name happens to be the same word. You were never the biggest female. You're not a vivacious vixen, a treacherous fox, or a bruising butch. You're the same fierce willed, determined and focused woman who became the 1st ever Diamond champion back four years ago. And to you Ashley, I bequeath my most heart felt and genuine respect.

Cheers ring out from the fans as they show their appreciation of Cyn's kind words towards Ashley.

And it's the respect I have for you, that's the reason I'm out here now. I'm every bit the fierce competitor that you are. I pride myself on being one of the best. But it's as a famous man once said "to be the best, you have to beat the best". And the best female wrestler in XWA is and always has been you. Titles, TV appearances and magazine spreads don't make you the best. Ability, skill and fortitude does. And seeing as you haven't missed a match in four years, that pretty much puts you in very, very distant company from everyone else. That's the reason why tonight, I want a chance to face you in this ring. I want to test my abilities against the greates female wrestler in the world. You and me, one on one...tonight.

Tony: Now that's what I call match making! Cyn Nister Vs. Ashley Diamond, 1st time ever. That's huge!

Travis: That's got the makings of a five star classic if ever I've heard. When you put two fearsome competitors like that against each other, you know you're going to witness history. That's like...having Babe Ruth at the plate and Cy Young on the mound.

Cyn lowers her mic. Just then, the crowd explodes in cheers as Ms. XWA's theme cues up.

To the stage comes the "1st lady" of XWA. The roar of the crowd was deafening as the fans from her home state give her a warm welcome. Despite having lost the Onyx/Pearl Unification match a week earlier, Ashley felt confident about what the new season would bring her. And this unexpected challenge from Cyn Nister was certainly an interesting start.

Travis: Cyn's comments where spot on, Tony. There have been a lot of successful females here in XWA. But none of them have garnered the world wide recognition that Ashley Diamond has. Without a doubt the hardest working, most respected woman in the sport. A modern day Moolah.

Tony: Which leads me to be a little suspicious as to why Cyn Nister would of all people come out here and pay her the wealth of compliments she did. Let's not forget, this is the same woman who in her 1st appearance in XWA verbally berated Kim Hunter.

Travis: What? You don't think she can have turned over a new leaf?

Tony: I guess anything is possible. But if I were Ashley, I'd be very cautious.

Ashley joins Cyn center ring. A mic is provide for her, and she answers the challenge in kind.

While I have to thank you for your kind words, Cyn, I have to warn you. I've never been the kind of woman who gives her respect easily. It takes someone of a different caliber to earn it. Someone who is a cut about the norm. Someone who takes what they do in this ring as their craft and not their job. Because for the last four years, that's what wrestling has been for me. When I started here in XWA, I had barely eight months experience under my belt. There were other females who were around in XWA back then who were prettier, bigger and stronger then me. There were females who were well known from other companies. There were females who were even willing to do unspeakably explicit things to get ahead of the curve. But in the end, I'm the one who ended up at the top of the heap as the face of the division. Not because I had sex appeal. Not because I slung a few dirty words around. Not because I I had my business hanging out for all to see. It happened because I dedicated myself to being the best overall female wrestler in the business. And it's a title no one's taken from me to this day.

The fans cheer on and Ashley clears her throat to continue.

When you came on the scene, you came with the whole attitude that you were somehow better then the rest of the girls. Which is the same thing I've seen from so many other females who have come and gone. But the difference between you and them, is that you backed up your big talk. It takes one hell of a competitor to dominate Kim Hunter as you did your first few matches. Granted, Kim's been slumping a little recently, but a slumping Kim Hunter is still better the 70% of the other girls on roster, and that's with no disrespect to any of the other ladies. That's just a testament to how fierce a competitor Kim truly is. And you came out and bested her on numerous occasions. And incredible feat that not few can say they've done. But still, not enough to earn my respect.

What will earn you my respect is you coming down to this ring tonight and putting your little mind games aside. I know that over in Japan you were a top tier competitor. One of the best, if not the best Australian born female wrestler in recent memory. Tonight, I want the best Cyn Nister that's ever stepped in the ring. Because you can rest assured that you're getting the best Ashley Diamond, because I always give my best. There's no such thing as half assing it when I step between those ropes and the bell rings. That's the dedication I take into every single match. If you can give me that tonight, then I'll give you the best match you've ever had. And win or lose, I'll have no regrets on the fact that if you do beat me, you'll have done it with no compromise.

Lowering her mic, Ashley looks into the eyes of Cyn Nister and waits for her response.

After intently listening to the response of Ashley, Cyn speaks her own.

I'd think nothing less of facing you with everything I can muster. I've been watching you closely for a good, long time. Studying how you move. What your tendencies are when you have control of a match, and when you're backed against the wall. Is it enough to say I'm confident that I can beat you? I would say it is. If I weren't sure I could do so, I wouldn't be out here. Win or lose, I will have your respect by the end of this night.

She then waits for Ashley's retort.
