CECILIA RYAN vs. ANNA DANIELS
Nick Stuart: Fans are ready for this match tonight, that’s for certain. Our next match of the evening will be Cecilia Ryan squaring off against Anna Daniels.
Richard Parker: I’m not sure who I’m more worried for tonight. Cecilia Ryan, having to square off against a real-life Time Lord, or Anna Daniels, having to square off against a real-life ‘punch-you-in-the-face-until-you-can’t-breathe’ Lord.
Nick Stuart: I don’t think Anna Daniels is an actual Time-Lord, Richard.
Richard Parker: Do you know that for a fact?
Nick Stuart: What? No!
Richard Parker: Exactly, so you can’t prove that she is or isn’t. I choose to believe she is.
Nick Stuart: Well, regardless, this match is going to be a highlight on this show and will be on that fans are talking about for months to come.
Richard Parker: The talent between these two men are off the charts and will be a sight to behold.
Nick Stuart: Man, Cecilia Ryan scares you that much?
Richard Parker: You have no idea. Just don’t let her near me.
Nick Stuart: Alright, let’s send it back to Vince Howard so we can get this match started.
Vince Howard: Introducing first, standing at six feet tall and hailing from Tampa, Florida… CECILIA! RYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
“Legacy” by Daphne Willis plays over the speakers, and Cecilia Ryan steps out onto the stage, her eyes fixed on the ring. She doesn’t pay any attention to the fans as she walks down the ramp to ringside. She rolls into the ring under the bottom rope, then climbs a turnbuckle and looks out into the crowd, arms down and a slight smirk on her face.
Nick Stuart: This will be Ryan’s first match since competing for the Five-Star Championship at Culture Shock where she came up short in the multi-person match to be crowned the new Five- Star Champion.
Richard Parker: That honor currently belongs to Hayes Hanlon, though there’s no telling if that will be the case at the end of the night.
Nick Stuart: Hanlon will certainly have his work cut out for him, but Ryan should feel go at how far she’s come in such a short time here in PRIME.
Richard Parker: I see her competing for the Universal Title before too long. Maybe even at Great American Nightmare!
Vince Howard: And her opponent, standing at five feet and seven inches tall, and hails from… Gallifrey… she is THE TIME LORD! ANNA! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANIELS!
The entire area fades to black, causing the PRIMEates in attendance to steadily come to a hush. After a moment, the beginning guitar notes of Solid Space’s “A Darkness In My Soul” begin. Nothing comes on the PRIME*view to note exactly who is coming out. Suddenly, a spotlight pierces through the dark pointed to the top on the entrance ramp. Anna Daniels stands there, her profile positioned towards the light. She lets it wash over her while letting the fans get a good look at the merchandise. Finally, she glances at the ring with a small smirk on her face.
As The Muse takes her time heading to the ring, she wistfully observes the goings on around her as if getting into a certain type of groove that only she can hear. Her strolling sways almost like she’s dancing from time to time. Her robe and headpiece–once more regal and dazzling artifacts from her home planet–are in various stages of disrepair and utter damage. Anna slaps a hand or two, nods a little to those in attendance. Once ringside, she motions for somebody to take the robe and headpiece which when taken nearly make the poor sap fall over.
She makes her way to the stairs and slinks along the apron, wiping her feet before entering the ring. Immediately after, she nearly chases off the ref in a suddenly blur of action before smiling yet again. Casually, she strolls to a corner with her head bopping before perching herself onto the top rope laid out like a French girl people like to paint.
After a few moments, Anna hops off the rope and prepares for battle. Cecilia is already ready. The two competitors eye once another, Daniels giving up nearly half-a-foot to her opponent. Yet, the two look rather calm in the moments before the match begins as Ashley Barlow, the referee for this evening’s match, gives her final set of instructions to both competitors before signaling to the timekeeper to begin the match.
DING DING
Coming out of their corners, Daniels and Ryan make their way to the middle of the ring with Ryan jawing off at her foe. Daniels shakes her head and Ryan fires off a solid forearm to the face of The Time Lord and Daniels follows up with a stiff knee to the midsection. Anna drives the point of her elbow into the spine of Ryan and then connects with a stiff knee to the face that sends Cecilia to the ground. Ryan quickly rolls back to her knees, grabbing her face in the process, and makes her way back up to her feet, motioning for Daniels to come for her. Anna obliges and Ryan manages a standing switch before pushing Daniels on her lower back into the nearby corner. Daniels collides with the corner and stumbles backwards into a stiff forearm to the back of the head from Ryan. Ryan then spins Daniels around and catches her with a leaping knee to the jaw. Anna stumbles backwards and Cecilia takes the opening to connect with a spinning heel kick that sends Daniels crashing to the mat.
Nick Stuart: Stiff action from these two to open the match up.
Richard Parker: No one is going to mistake either of these two for being soft or more for show. Far from it. They’re going to knock your block off every chance they get and they’re showing it already.
Nick Stuart: Both have made their mark on PRIME in the last few months and are now looking to carve their spot out more definitively. It would not surprise me to see either of these two women to be squaring off against the winner of Hanlon and Redding for the Five-Star Championship at Great American Nightmare.
Richard Parker: That is for sure. Probably Ryan more so than Daniels.
Nick Stuart: She is not going to hurt you, for the last time!
Richard Parker: Look, she might not be able to hear me, but her father sure can!
Ryan begins to pull Daniels back up to her feet and whips Anna into the ropes before connecting with a dropkick to the knee. Anna drops down to one knee while Ryan bounces off the rope and goes for a boot across her jaw, but Daniels spins away from it, wraps her arms around the waist of her opponent and lifts her up and slams her to the ground with a German Suplex. Ryan clutches the back of her skull as Daniels makes her way back up to her feet and snaps her boot across the bridge of Ryan’s nose. Cecilia rolls onto her knees, in pain, while Daniels bounces off the ropes, springboards off the opposite set, and slams both knees into the lower back of her opponent.
Richard Parker: That was some innovative offense there from the Time Lord. I guess that’s appropriate if you’re called The Time Lord to be innovative.
Nick Stuart: It surely is and that’s what we’ve come to expect out of Anna Daniels. She is unconventional to say the least and it’s what helped her make it as far as she did in the Almasy Tournament.
Richard Parker: She is peculiar though, wouldn’t you say?
Nick Stuart: You mean, her being from a planet that doesn’t exist? Yeah, I would say that’s pretty peculiar.
Richard Parker: I wonder if her face will ever change.
Nick Stuart: No, we’re not doing that.
Daniels begins to grab Ryan by the back of the head and pulls her up only for Cecilia to connect with a stiff elbow to the midsection. Ryan follows this up with a stiff kick to the right knee that sends Daniels down to one knee. Cecilia then bounces off the ropes and connects with a boot to the side of the face. She mounts Daniels and begins pelting her with fist after fist until Ashley Barlow counts to four and forces Ryan to break the mount. Cecilia stands up, glaring at Ashley, before she bounces off the ropes and drops both knees across the midsection of her opponent. Ryan rolls through it, bounces back up to her feet, and then springboards off the middle rope into a moonsault, hooking the leg in the process.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Nick Stuart: And Ryan almost managed to get the quick victory there!
Richard Parker: Ryan is not someone to be messed with. Outside of her father, Dan Ryan, if I’m alone in a dark alley, I want her backing me up.
Nick Stuart: When are you ever in a dark alley?
Richard Parker: We don’t talk about those times, Nick. We don’t talk about those times.
Nick Stuart: Because…. they didn’t happen.
Ryan peels Daniels off of the mat and pushes her into the ropes before connecting with a knee to the midsection. Daniels doubles over from the shot while Cecilia bounces off the ropes and goes for a clothesline, but Daniels stops her, grabbing onto her, and then drops her throat first against the top rope. She then bounces off the ropes as Ryan stumbles around, grabbing at her throat, before Anna connects with a Shining Wizard! Cecilia collapses to the ground as Daniels goes for her own cover.

TWO
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Richard Parker: Back and forth between these two standouts thus far.
Nick Stuart: No kidding, these two are putting it out there what they’re all about and the fans in attendance are eating it up.
Richard Parker: You can’t blame them either, these two are not holding back in the least bit.
Nick Stuart: Whichever one makes the first mistake will probably be the one who walks out of here with the victory in all honesty.
Daniels grabs the right leg of Ryan and drags her to the nearest set of ropes before placing the leg on the bottom rope. Daniels then uses the second rope to springboard into the air and comes crashing down on the the leg of her opponent. Cecilia groans in pain as she rolls away from Daniels. Daniels walks over to her, pulling her up to her feet and connects with a knife-edge chop across the chest. Ryan grimaces in pain before firing one off on her own. Ryan then whips Daniels into the opposite corner before running at her only for Daniels to dip her shoulder and send Cecilia over the top rope. Ryan manages to land on her feet on the apron though and as Daniels turns towards her, she connects with a high kick to the head of The Time Lord.
Nick Stuart: Well, that’s going to leave a mark.
Richard Parker: This is why you don’t fight fire with fire when you square up against Ryan. She’s forged in pure fire with Dan Ryan as her dad and Lindsay Troy as her aunt. Those two are the hardest hitters I’ve ever seen. I think one of them smacked me once too.
Nick Stuart: Which one?
Richard Parker: I’d rather not say.
Ryan re-enters the ring and catches a rising Daniels with a back elbow, but Anna fires back with a stiff kick to the midsection. Ryan doubles over and Daniels moves into position for the Oncoming Storm! She goes to lift Ryan up, but Cecilia blocks it. Anna connects with a stiff forearm in the back and then whips Ryan into the ropes before connecting with a flying headscissors! With Ryan on the ground, Daniels climbs to the nearest turnbuckle, measures her opponent, and connects with a corkscrew Shooting Star Press into a legdrop across the throat of Cecilia!
Richard Parker: Not usually a fan of the flippy-do, but that’s exactly what Daniels needs to be doing in this match. High-risk moves for high-impact payoff.
Nick Stuart: Wow, look at you talking about strategy. I’m almost impressed.
Richard Parker: Why, thank you!
Nick Stuart: I said almost.
Richard Parker: I just am ignoring you said it.
Daniels then yanks Ryan back up to her feet and slams her knee into the midsection. She then grabs both arms of Cecilia and underhooks them, looking for the Oncoming Storm again. Cecilila manages to block it once again though as slams her shoulder into Anna’s midsection. The Time Lord is doubled over, but stands up at the wrong moment as Ryan comes flying off the ropes and connects with a double flying knee strike that sends both women to the mat. Ryan wastes no time getting back to her feet and as Daniels does the same, dazed from the knees to the face, she turns into a roaring elbow from Ryan.
Nick Stuart: Family Affair from Cecilia Ryan! That should put this match to bed.
Richard Parker: Ryan showed her head is in the game right then and there.
Ryan then goes for the cover.

THREE!
DING DING DING!
Vince Howard: Your winner, at the fourteen minute and seventeen second mark… CECILIA! RYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Nick Stuart: And there is no look of caring on her face as the fans here boo her as she picks up her second victory in PRIME.
Richard Parker: Seriously, just like her father and aunt, confident and resolute.
Nick Stuart: Great effort from both stars tonight, both of them have very bright futures ahead of them, but only one could walk out the winner.
On that note, we cut to commercial…
