Athena vs Mercedes Martinez

Poor Athena earns Mercedes' derision right off the bat in this one-sided slaughter. She kicks things off by introducing herself and thanking management for giving her a chance to face Mercedes again, for the first time since their SHIMMER contest. None of these civilities go down too well with the eye-rolling Mercedes who takes her irritation out on Athena in purely violent terms and doesn’t stop till the battered Athena is helpless and writhing on the mat. She’s wall to wall viciousness, starting off with clubbing blows to the back and hairpulling on the ropes along with endless stomps to the back and chokes in the corner. She continues to focus on the back throughout, squashing Athena against the turnbuckles, executing an explosive over the knee Backbreaker and digging her knees and feet repeatedly into the smaller woman’s spine. One last submission threatens to tear Athena’s arms out of her sockets before she finally yields, not an ounce of resistance left remaining.
