Scarlett Johansson (CPF Champion): 31 Years Old, Height: 5'3, Weight: 125 Pounds
vs
Paige: 24 Years Old, Height: 5'8, Weight: 120 Pounds
I'm rooting for The Black Widow in this one. Why you may ask?
This is war.
I was suspicious by Vince McMahon's sudden gesture of kindness by lending me Paige. My assistant looked at me like I was crazy and I was making a mountain out of an anthill and suggested that I book the British brawler against an easy opponent. I wanted to do the exact opposite and book Paige against the toughest opponent I could find in order to get rid of her quickly. Vince then called me and dropped the ultimatum upon my head like a five hundred pound anvil. Vince said the only way I could have Paige is under the condition that her first fight would be against our champion. I know that Paige has a bed reserved in McMahon's doghouse and if she beats Scarlett and takes the belt back to Vince, all would be forgiven. Vince would put my title belt on display in his office and if I wanted to get it back, he'd drown me in enough red tape and paperwork. Vince would give her a major push to the top of the division, she could do all the cocaine she wanted and Alberto Del Rio would get another large contract. That is reason enough for my inherent bias towards Scarlett.
Scarlett however, still scares me. When she found out about Ariel X being the special referee, she told me it was stupid and that I was stupid for coming up with that idea. I was told to drop the idea or face the consequences, so I dropped the idea immediately. However, I had decided to enact a rule that would cancel the punishment round in case of a knockout. I'll be honest, I was doing it more to cover my tail in-case of lawsuit and I felt guilty about what happened with Jennifer Lawrence. I should have stopped the fight when it was obvious she couldn't defend herself and decided to take an active role in stopping fights. Our champion however was enthused about the prospect of facing a pro wrestler in a ring and was delighted at the thought of breaking a pro wrestler in a ring. That woman is scary and so confident that she'll run through Paige she pitched her next title defense! She suggested defending her title against two starlets in a handicap match but I countered that I already had an opponent lined up for her. She smiled but I knew she didn't like that I had shot down her idea. I'm lucky that I am still breathing.
The fight was taking place in the same building that I had booked for the season one finale, a small but cozy building that wouldn't draw suspicion. I sat at ringside with my assistant and I had the title belt on display in a glass case as Paige entered the ring first. Despite being on suspension, the raven haired wrestler looked to be in great shape in her black ring gear and gloves. Paige was starting to warm up with some stretches and shadowboxing and I was impressed. Paige seemed comfortable in the room and the change from the penthouse to the room wasn't an attempt at legitimization, it had more to do with Mr. Del Rio threatening me. I guess he thought we would pull some shady business if the fight took place in the penthouse. I also heard that Vince was in town despite the WWE not having a show on the west coast elevating my fears of him trying to get one over on me. Paige went to her corner as we waited for the arrival of Scarlett Johansson.
Scarlett Johansson came walking into the room wearing the exact same gear from the last fight. The brutal and malicious beating of Jennifer Lawrence to take the CPF Championship. Leather halter top? Check. Leather pants? Check. Red hair? Check. Leather gloves? Check. Those boots? CHECK! There was no stretching, just an ice cold stare into Paige's soul as she paced the room. Paige resumed warming up, doing her best to ignore Scarlett, but it was a failure. Instead the brunette decided to fight fire (Or at least icy stares) with fire as she went over her fight strategy silently. Scarlett got a kick out Paige's attempt at intimidation and smiled like the cat that ate the canary as she sat in the corner.
The bell rang as Paige came out of her corner and stood in the center of the ring, waiting for Scarlett. Scarlett laughed as Paige was visibly frustrated by the champion's tactics as she slowly stood up and sauntered to the center of the ring. Scarlett looked comfortable standing up while the challenger was pensive about trading leather. Paige threw out a quick kick and the redhead stepped back, surprised that the British brawler threw the first strike. The strike didn't have much mustard on it and Scarlett threw a heavy leg kick that Paige caught! There was a look of bewilderment on Scarlett's face as Paige tried to work a takedown but Scarlett was blocking it. Paige was finally able to trip Scarlett's leg and get the champion to the ground. A mad scramble occurred as Scarlett turned onto her stomach as Paige tried to lock in an armbar, taking a page from Del Rio's book. Paige failed to lock her legs around the arm of Scarlett and the champion quickly escaped the hold as Paige tried to take her down from behind. The champion retreated to the center of the ring as Paige pursued her. Paige went to clinch with the champion and was ROCKED WITH A SHORT RIGHT HOOK! Paige was wobbly as she clinched with Scarlett but the redhead tossed her aside. Paige tried throwing a punch of her own but Scarlett connected with a rocket launcher of an uppercut. Paige was nearing unconsciousness when a brutal knee sealed the deal. The wrestler crumpled to the ground as Scarlett jumped on-top of her and launched some vicious ground and pound sending Paige on a one way ticket to dream land. The bell rang, signifying a rousing and DOMINANT victory for the champion.
I entered the ring right away as Scarlett stood up and brushed herself off from the beating she had just unleashed. Paige was out cold as I checked on her. "I want my punishment round, dammnit," as she pushed me aside. I reasoned that we couldn't go ahead of the punishment round because of the new rules and she was seething. The redhead screamed at me to get her belt and I did just so, avoiding any type of physical confrontation. Paige was finally waking up and my assistant did the right thing by helping to the back to see our highly paid medic. The medic is highly paid so they won't open their fat mouths to TMZ or any of those gossip sites. McMahon has Meltzer to deal with, I have TMZ. Personally, I wish I was dealing with Metlzer so we could talk about roller derby or 1980's Mid-South but I digress. I went to put the belt around her waist but she stared in my soul so I just handed the belt to her and nearly killed myself getting out of the ring. Scarlett held the belt high and boos
ted that nobody and didn't notice a tall redhead sliding into the ring. Scarlett turned around and was face-to-face with....
The Destroyer is BACK!
That's right, the original face of fear in CPF was now face-to-face with our dominant champion as they engaged in a long stare down. Gillan was unfazed by Scarlett staring into her soul as the champion raised the belt high in the air. When she brought it back down, Gillan smiled and patted the belt as Scarlett jerked it away from her with a concerned look on her face The tall redhead left the ring, leaving a confused and possibly intimidated Scarlett standing by herself.
Told you I had something better planned.
