e e here's a woman ready to bring some order a rule follower if there ever was one [Applause] do it the following contest is a special guest referee match please welcome the special guest referee for this match Sears CA me I'm told she was reviewing the rule book backstage right up until the last minute what's there to know if you know how to compete you know the rules ah refereeing is a whole new angle though no harm in brushing up on the rules besides studying is fun maybe you can quiz her after the match Byron o that's a great idea and the participants first from London England Maria this Superstar doesn't get paid by the minute they just get in there beat somebody up and leave that's kind of a miserable existence if you ask me I don't see what's so miserable about that Byron but then again I see this Superstar for who they are not your projections [Applause] she certainly knows how to get a reaction and she'll get an even bigger one when she wins this match [Applause] and from Auckland New Zealand Tony this is a superstar who eats sleeps and breathes WWE when they're not training they're competing when they're not competing they're training look I hate to admit it but that's paid dividends for this Superstar maybe not in the friend Department but definitely in the ring she has been counting the weeks the days the minutes until this match and she is now ready to compete [Applause] this Iron Man match is underway a true test to the amount of determination and perseverance in a superstar this is a match that could literally come down to one point every single second of an Iron Man match is in cover shoulders are down no shoulders up at two an unbiased count from our guest referee and got to give our referee credit she wasn't trying to influence the result there she thinks she has it and she kicks out of two and that was the kind of count you want to see official was in the right position at the right time with a perfect view of their shoulders pow what a shot oh lighting up the [Applause] chest shot right to the ribs oh this this Superstar using the Rope as a weapon this is uncalled for come on cover cover she overcomes the pinfall attempt you can't argue with the job AR ref did there no funny business with that count she just got right down to business [Applause] oh Nails digging right into the skin all fair in love and W gentlemen I saw nothing but effective offense front face lock applied the Final Cut play andum play and posum kick out at one such a timely kick out a great Cadence with that count moved at the right time snap suplex she saw that one coming into the corner this can't be good sliding German quick return to the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] ring strong overhead chops and another you can see that each strike drained their opponent's energy what are we going to see [Applause] here hamstring crushing knee strikes repeated [Applause] strikes and she goes for the [Applause] pin and she's not done yet and our guest referee counting the pin Right Down the Line our officials showing she's a professional of the highest order oh no the wood with a BB wire wrapping someone needs to take that away from her this is really bad things taking a turn for her now she's into the ring again ler set up in the corner oh man we are witnessing a malicious string of it shoulders down solid look by our special referee we saw a proper Cadence and position on that pinfall attempt kick to the gut double under hook tiger bom is it enough there's two and the referee just doing exactly what she's supposed to do give the ref credit oh now she's looking to apply the pressure with this submission maneuver locking it in ankle lock oh I don't think there is any way out of this submission and she releases the hold as she feels that enough damage has been done should have kept on wrenching why show Mercy not we got a cover and she gets an early [Music] fall and an elbow and now she's Haymaker after Haymaker looks like a hockey fight's just broken out back and forth neither one giving up any ground exus setting in and neither one of them is letting up this is a war of attrition with neither Superstar wanting to be the one who surrenders boom Toe to Toe treating each other like heavy bags you can feel the contact and so does the WWE univers what a oh man the shots ring down one after another that will leave you [Music] stunned Deni with an elbow displaying their power and down with the Sone driver a Game ending move Checkmate a kick out kick out of two somehow someway escapes defeat still alive one of the more fair counts I've seen can't complain about the officiating there and it looks like she has Swift Justice in mind going for the Kendo stick like that oh cracking the kendle stick across the head but into the corner now what a tornado she's got the shoulders down late in the match she scores a fall oh this could be something a driver find the nearest exit it's over the cover and now she comes up with a score late in the match Big forearm oh strong impact saw that one coming this couldn't do it no she kicks out standard pin count from her there consistency with the Cadence you can't say she wasn't [Applause] impartial hoist it up what are we going to see here someone driver see you definitely wouldn't want to be you she gets one firm control big boot she's staying AER Telegraph that one and delivers a blow to the gut a stale made of counters oh countered it she do it here and she got [Music] one this is truly awesome going Coast to Coast face we're undoubtedly nearing the end yeah this is a dire situation right now and proving a bit slippery for them there and she's stunned in the corner nowhere to go being victimized but the M Tha training really showing off here what's she looking for under the ring leaving nothing to chance here with a baseball bat in hand measuring their opponent highp speeed hip attack [Applause] look at this attacking the foot oh that hurts no telling what's underneath the ring tonight look at this we're going to hit him with the old six string oh my goodness kick to the gut double under hook T cover going for it again B up the skull what a great move cover late in the match and she is scored grabbing a hold of the arm drop I've been waiting to see that and that will leave her with a cause for concern hold on a second could be a matter of time submission being locked in uhoh she needs the head tap tap and that puts a point on the board and our guest official really needs to exess what's happening right now what the heck's going on we saw him submit where's the Bell this is deplorable there should be a fine in suspension for this German suplex spiked is in up the cover with that she picks up a fall late in the match Larry these Superstars still keeping their stamina in check as the midm marker has been crossed I don't know how anyone can begin to formulate a plan to get back in this match when they're down so big already their opponent's leg will this be enough she get the score late in the match oh my gosh and wrong side of things for her to be she covers for the pin and she gets the fall late in the match boom right across the small of the back oh God and she's still finding the energy to remain on the attack there's obvious wear and tear on her but she's doing all she can to block it up from the top Miss drop kick moment here's a cover could be it she gets the late score what are they doing here she did her homework there and that definitely made Solid impact and a bad time for her to be oh could this be it set out wild R unbelievable she's got it got her shoulders down pin two she somehow gets the [Music] [Applause] fall listen to this place it's unreal the decimal level in here right now is breaking glass these fans are on fire oh a nasty stop to finish it off will it be a kick out two and okay that count shows he's not bad at this ref thing our official didn't show any favorites with that count she had it scouted now looking for something to away lay her opponent with I don't think she's going to serenate her with that great counter Judo throw oh cutter cover two L of the match she scores a fall grabbing a hold of the [Music] arm devastating kick did she do it here she gets the score late in the match double explosive offense the Superstar building momentum wow flying close line how impressive and she's Landing some urgently needed offense there at this stage you know she is thinking about bringing will it be think so and she gets the fall late in the match grabbing a hold of the arm drop oh what a kick no just shredding into their opponent with that barb wire toss je got it got her shoulders down she gets the shoulder up good job by the ref seeing the kick out right away that was a very even count can't find any flaws with it measuring it up one more time oh driver I think that finally closes the book and now she delivers her back into the ring absolutely no telling what's underneath the ring tonight now we're talking this Sledgehammer might be what decides this match late of the match and she has scored she's queing it up again I don't care who you are you can't survive any more of those makes the cover and now she comes up with a score late in the match oh God what force the hammer dropped literally something might be be broken and just under a quarter of total time remains for this Iron Man War and there is a very steep deficit on the scoreboard this thing is all but one I think she's trying to bait her in but I would not get near her now Landing a big hit with that hammer a well tied Dodge she avoids the contact she is not abused in the slightest [Applause] uhoh hazardous part of town here on the apron on the apron the hardest part of the Ring look at this uhoh an agile Escape Sling Blade toss back into the [Applause] ring she's getting back to her feet but is there fight left this Trin the power with the Samoan driver a much needed big move she has scored a fall late in the match Big forearm and she is feeling the electricity from the crowd now no telling what she'll find under the ring here feel she has bad intentions for that chair and she gets herself out of a precarious position guys they are getting way too close for comfort here yeah I've seen this before and it doesn't end well oh God right in the training looking to put an end to this snap driver you can tell she wants to put an end to this trying to go for it again super power driver how much more can they endure she's sent back in under the ropes cover and she gets a fall move right across the small of the back we can certainly say we are headed into the home oh boy here it comes will she get it fully locked in the pressure is up and There She Goes she's saying I quick and what in the world is his official doing look for the submission call for the damn B this this ridiculous the power has to be taken out of the referee's hands at this point oh no driving down with the sledgehammer Dodges swinging the elbow to Halt the offense start counting Saxton one two three we could be here all day power I think you're right down with one arm cover is it enough she's still in this and scores the late [Applause] fall oh no trapping the arm vicious Stomps to the hand and the effects of this match able to be shaken off by her she is displaying how far her stamina can be tested she adjusts it and reverses it placed in the corner oh my goodness somehow someway they weathered the storm hard to imagine but that match was even better than advertised here's another look at that history making encounter here is your winner Tony stor that was one of the most physical matches we've ever seen an Iron Man match takes a huge toll but you're seeing the result of pushing through that to win these Superstars took each other to the absolute limit well past the limit I'd say [Applause]
