Brandi Rhodes w/ Awesome Kong vs. Allie

A hype video aired for Brandi Rhodes vs. Allie.

This was something to see, as Brandi was in legitimate tears, saying that she wasn’t sure for so long if she could do this and tonight she was going to put those demons to rest. This was so great.

Brandi Rhodes offered her hand to Allie, and as they shook hands, Awesome Kong’s music hit. Allie immediately knew that Brandi wasn’t in for a fair match. Kong just smiled and the crowd immediately understood that she was there to help Brandi win. It seems like Brandi wants to win at all costs and is quite disingenuous in her kind outward personality.

Allie wasn’t distracted by the music, and ducked a clothesline attempt from Brandi before taking advantage in the early portions of this match. Allie dropped Brandi with a kick and then rolled to the outside and looked at Kong. Allie wasn’t distracted by the music, but she was distracted by Kong at ringside and Brandi hit a dropkick taking her out.Brandi trashed talked and poured water over Allie’s head.

Brandi hit a knee to the face back in the ring, but Allie kicked out at 1. Brandi kept the advantage and continued to trash talk Allie. Kong tripped Allie as she hit the ropes and Brandi took advantage, but Allie kicked out again.Allie and Brandi both went down after a neck breaker, and fought to get up before the 10. The women then exchanged forearms, with Allie getting the better of the exchange. Allie hit a series of running forearms and a sliding elbow strike into the corner. Kong looked very concerned for Brandi as Allie made the cover.Brandi escaped a Dragon sleeper with a snapmare and then she hit a tornado snap suplex!

Allie kicked out. Brandi ran right at Allie but Allie hit a superkick and then a running Death Valley Driver, but Kong pulled Brandi to the ropes. Allie got very upset and started arguing with Kong. Brandi cradled Allie, but Allie kicked out.Allie got up and locked on the Dragon Sleeper, and Brandi tapped out! The ref wasn’t looking though as Kong was on the apron.

Allie let the submission go and tried to get the refs attention. Brandi raked Allie’s eyes, hit the ropes, and hit a spear before pinning Allie!

Result: Brandi Rhodes

Rating: ** (2 stars out of 5)

After the match, Kong picked up Allie for a powerbomb, but Aja Kong’s music hit and she made her way down to ringside! Awesome Kong looked shocked and a little fearful. The Kongs stood face to face and the referees immediately got out and tried to keep them apart.

The crowd went insane wanting to see the two women fight. I want them to fight! Aja Kong didn’t budge at all as Awesome Kong was in her face. This was so great.
