Mercedes Martinez vs. Rhea Ripley – Steel Cage Match – NXT Super Tuesday II 9/9/20 - 5
Pre-match Martinez is digging under the ring pulling out a
table like she’s Snoopy rummaging in the garage to retrieve chairs for Charlie
Brown’s makeshift Thanksgiving meal and Rhea attacks from behind to get us underway.
Ripley is a favorite among Hot Topic shoppers everywhere. Rhea ducked a chairshot
but didn’t take much effort as Mercedes swung it 3 ft. above opponent’s head
like she was swatting a fly. Rhea’s gear has more studs and chains on it than
Kenneth Anger’s Scorpio Rising. Sad to say Mercedes’ opportunity in WWE came
about six years too late – she could have been a major player. Anyone else get
distracted by Drake Younger as a referee? Like I can’t help but think his
internal monologue is going something like, “Hell, I’d have taken a Death
Valley Driver off the top of this damn cage onto a table on a gymnasium floor
if this was Indianapolis”. Both women were perched on the top turnbuckle to see
Mercedes hit a Shane Helms-like flying neckbreaker for a highlight. They set up
a table and Ripley hits her patented Riptide finisher (sort of a pump-handle
powerbomb) off the 2nd buckle (why not the top?) for the finish.
