But the match wasn't over yet. Far from it. And as Rebecca and Brianna continued to battle inside the ring, the question remained, who would walk away with the win whether it's Rebcca for her shot at the FCW Divas Championship? Or would it be Brianna who would block Rebecca's path to Nicole?
Rebecca and Brianna at this time stood across from each other, breathing heavily as the energy in the arena surged. The crowd was fully engaged, rallying behind Rebecca while jeering at Brianna. The two competitors locked eyes, their determination unwavering.
Brianna, looking frustrated at the pace of the match, was the first to move. She lunged forward, throwing a stiff forearm strike to Rebecca's jaw. The impact snapped Rebecca's head back, but she fired right back with a forearm of her own.
The two began trading blows in the center of the ring. Forearm. Forearm. Elbow. Elbow. Each strike landed harder than the last, neither woman willing to back down.
Rebecca gained the upper hand, ducking under one of Brianna's wild swings and countering with a sharp kick to the gut. Brianna doubled over, giving Rebecca the opening to snap her down with a quick DDT!
Rebecca went for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
Brianna kicked out!
Rebecca didn't let up. She grabbed Brianna by the arm and pulled her to her feet before whipping her into the corner. She charged forward, delivering a brutal running knee strike to Brianna's midsection. The impact sent Brianna reeling, and Rebecca took advantage, hitting a snap suplex that planted Brianna in the middle of the ring.
The crowd roared as Rebecca climbed to the top rope. She measured her opponent and took flight, aiming for a diving leg drop!
But Brianna rolled out of the way at the last second!
Rebecca crashed onto the mat, clutching her lower back in pain. Brianna took a moment to recover before pouncing, stomping down viciously on Rebecca's spine.
"Brianna is like a shark smelling blood in the water!" one commentator exclaimed.
Brianna yanked Rebecca up, hooking her head under her arm and dropping her with a swinging neckbreaker!
She covered.
ONE!
TWO!
Rebecca kicked out!
Brianna groaned in frustration before pulling Rebecca up and slamming her back down with a brutal backbreaker across her knee. She kept her grip locked, stretching Rebecca out in a submission style hold, pressing down on her opponent's throat while Rebecca gritted her teeth in pain.
Rebecca struggled, the crowd clapping rhythmically, willing her to fight back. With a burst of energy, she threw her elbow into Brianna's ribs once, twice, three times until Brianna was forced to let go.
Rebecca rolled away, using the ropes to pull herself up, but Brianna was already back on her, grabbing her by the hair and yanking her into position for another move.
Brianna went for a suplex, but Rebecca blocked it!
Another attempt, blocked!
Rebecca shifted her weight and countered, twisting out of Brianna's grip before picking up Brianna and hitting her with a stunning braibuster!
Brianna's head crashed into the mat with force!
Rebecca took a deep breath before crawling over for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
Brianna got the shoulder up!
The frustration was evident on Rebecca's face, but she didn't waste time arguing. She pulled Brianna up again, whipping her into the ropes, but Brianna countered, sending Rebecca instead!
On the rebound, Brianna ducked down, looking for a back body drop, but Rebecca saw it coming and caught her with a sharp kick to the chest!
Brianna stumbled back, gasping for air, and Rebecca charged forward with a clothesline, but Brianna ducked!
Rebecca turned around, right into a hard slap across the face from Brianna! The disrespect echoed throughout the arena, and the crowd erupted in boos.
Rebecca's head turned with the slap, her hand touching her cheek. A slow smirk spread across her face before she snapped her head back toward Brianna, fire in her eyes.
"Oh, Brianna just made a HUGE mistake!"
Brianna barely had time to react before Rebecca exploded with a rapid combination of forearms, elbows, and a stiff chop to the chest that sent Brianna staggering into the ropes.
Rebecca ran the ropes and came back with a leaping single-leg dropkick!
Brianna went down hard, and Rebecca wasted no time. She hoisted Brianna up, signaling for the Bexploder, her signature exploder suplex!
She hooked Brianna, ready to throw her across the ring—
But Brianna fought out of it!
She twisted free and, in a blink, caught Rebecca with the Bella Buster, her sit out facebuster finisher!
The crowd gasped as Rebecca's face crashed into the mat!
Brianna rolled her over and hooked both legs!
ONE!
TWO!
THR—NO!
Rebecca kicked out at the last possible moment!
The crowd erupted!
"No way! How did she kick out of that?!"
Brianna sat up, eyes wide in disbelief, slapping the mat in frustration. She immediately turned to the referee, arguing, demanding that it was three.
Rebecca, meanwhile, was stirring.
As Brianna continued to argue, Rebecca slowly pushed herself up. She took a deep breath, steeling herself.
And then, as Brianna turned back, Rebecca struck!
She kicked Brianna in the gut, doubling her over, then quickly hooked her leg.
With a powerful burst, Rebecca lifted Brianna and drove her into the mat with the Hard Knox, her leg hook sit out suplex slam finisher!
Brianna's body bounced off the mat, and Rebecca immediately covered!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
The bell rang!
The crowd erupted in cheers as Rebecca rolled off Brianna, exhausted but victorious. The referee helped her to her feet, raising her hand in victory.
The ring announcer's voice boomed over the arena:
"Here is your winner, and receiving a shot at the FCW Divas Championship, Rebecca Knox!"
The crowd roared, chanting Rebecca's name as she stood tall, catching her breath.
On commentary, the announcers were buzzing.
"What a match! Rebecca Knox just proved why she deserves a shot at the FCW Divas Championship!"
"But let's talk about something else, where was Nicole?! Why didn't she come out to help her sister?!"
"That's a great point! Two weeks ago, we saw Nicole and Brianna have a heated encounter with April and Davina backstage. Maybe she's afraid they'd stop her?"
"Either way, Rebecca Knox just earned her shot, and you better believe Nicole Bella is watching!"
Rebecca climbed the turnbuckle, raising her fist high in the air as the crowd continued cheering. Her path to the FCW Divas Championship was now clear. And Nicole Bella? She had no choice but to face the challenge head on.
After that, several matches ensued, each one delivering its own thrilling moments, but the anticipation in the arena continued to build. The crowd knew what was coming, the main event, the third match of the first round tournament to crown the inaugural FCW North American Champion.
The energy in the building reached a fever pitch as the ring announcer stepped into the center of the ring, microphone in hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the third match of the first round for the FCW North American Championship Tournament, and it is scheduled for one fall!"
The announcement was met with a wave of excitement, fans eagerly awaiting the competitors.
Suddenly, the arena lights dimmed slightly, and the booming entrance theme of Drew McIntyre filled the air. The reaction was different from usual. Normally, Drew would be showered with loud boos due to his arrogant and aggressive nature, but after his incredible match against Sandro for the FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship, the fans had gained a new level of respect for him.
Now, the crowd was split 50/50, half jeering him for his cocky demeanor, the other half cheering for the raw intensity he brought inside the ring.
Drew emerged from the back, his signature scowl on his face as he walked down the ramp with an air of dominance. He was still acting as the heel, but those who cheered him only grew louder, appreciating his unrelenting aggression. He marched up the steel steps, pausing briefly as he looked around at the divided crowd.
With a smirk, he stepped into the ring and raised his arms in his usual pose before retreating to the upper left corner, rolling his wrists and shaking out his shoulders in preparation for the fight.
Then, Ricky Ortiz's entrance music hit.
A loud cheer erupted as Ricky appeared at the entranceway, his bright smile and infectious energy lighting up the arena. A former football player turned pro wrestler, Ricky had an undeniable charisma that the FCW faithful appreciated. He high fived fans along the ramp, acknowledging the support as he confidently made his way to the ring.
Sliding under the bottom rope, Ricky popped to his feet and immediately hyped up the crowd, throwing his hands in the air and motioning for them to get even louder before making his way to the bottom right corner.
The ring announcer lifted the microphone again.
"Introducing first, from Ayr, Scotland, weighing in at 245 pounds… DREW MCINTYRE!"
Drew took a step forward, throwing his arms wide in his signature pose, nodding at the audience before stepping back into his corner.
"And his opponent, from Paradise Valley, Arizona, weighing in at 246 pounds… RICKY ORTIZ!"
Ricky responded with another energetic pose, flexing his arms and bouncing on the balls of his feet, clearly amped up and ready to go.
With introductions complete, the referee performed final checks, ensuring both men were ready. He stepped into the center of the ring and signaled for the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
The match was officially underway.
Drew and Ricky began circling each other, their eyes locked in a silent challenge. The tension was palpable. The crowd buzzed with anticipation as the two competitors finally lunged forward into a collar and elbow tie up in the center of the ring.
Drew, being the stronger of the two, quickly began forcing Ricky backward, displaying his raw power. But Ricky dug his boots into the canvas, tightening his grip and using his own strength to resist.
The struggle was intense, muscles tensed as each man fought for dominance. Ricky suddenly twisted his body, using Drew's momentum against him to push him back a few steps.
Drew smirked, clearly impressed. He broke the hold and delivered a hard shove to Ricky's chest, causing Ricky to stumble back slightly.
Ricky responded in kind, shoving Drew right back!
The crowd popped as Drew staggered back a step before glaring at Ricky with a smirk, recognizing that Ortiz wasn't going to be easily bullied.
Drew suddenly exploded forward with a punch, but Ricky dodged and countered with a stiff forearm to Drew's jaw!
The impact snapped Drew's head to the side, but he fired back with a forearm of his own!
The two men immediately began trading shots in the middle of the ring, forearm, elbow, punch, back and forth, each strike echoing through the arena!
Drew gained the advantage with a knee to Ricky's gut, doubling him over. Taking advantage, Drew grabbed Ricky and went for a snap suplex, but Ricky blocked it!
Ricky countered, lifting Drew up instead and snapping him down with a suplex of his own!
Drew arched his back, momentarily wincing in pain, but Ricky wasn't slowing down. He ran the ropes and came back with a sharp knee drop to Drew's forehead!
Ricky went for the first cover of the match.
ONE!
Drew powered out before the referee could count two.
Ricky quickly got to his feet, yanking Drew up with him. He whipped Drew into the ropes, looking for a back body drop, but Drew saw it coming, stopping just before reaching Ricky and instead slamming his boot into Ricky's chest with a stiff kick!
Ricky stumbled backward, clutching his ribs, and Drew took advantage, grabbing Ricky and planting him with a brutal belly to belly suplex!
Ortiz landed hard on the mat, and Drew wasted no time, he stomped down on Ricky's gut viciously, showing no mercy as he continued targeting Ricky's midsection.
Drew then dragged Ricky up and hoisted him onto his shoulder, looking for a powerslam, but Ricky slipped out the back, landing behind Drew!
Before Drew could react, Ricky leapt up and hit him with a standing dropkick to the back of the head!
Drew fell forward onto the ropes, dazed for a moment, but quickly rebounded and charged at Ricky with a lariat!
Ricky ducked under it!
Drew spun around, right into a spinning elbow strike from Ricky!
Drew staggered, shaking his head, but Ricky didn't let up. He kicked Drew in the gut and hooked him for a brainbuster!
He lifted Drew up, but Drew resisted, planting his feet!
Drew countered, lifting Ricky instead and dropping him with a devastating brainbuster of his own!
Ricky's body bounced off the mat, and Drew immediately hooked the leg for a pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Ricky kicked out!
The crowd was loving it.
Drew, staying aggressive, pulled Ricky up and hooked him for a neckbreaker. But at the last second, Ricky twisted free and hit a running clothesline! Drew went down, and Ricky quickly capitalized, running the ropes and coming back with a running elbow drop to Drew's chest!
