The show starts off showcasing how Tessa Blanchard won the WOW World Championship, as well as what happened between The Beast and Jungle Grrrl in last week's main event. After the match, The Beast goes looking for Blanchard and makes her sign a contract stating that she gets a chance at the WOW Championship. But we did not get to see if Blanchard signed it or not.
David McLane is sitting in his office and Blanchard storms into his office saying that she does not want to fight The Beast. He says that Blanchard can't keep choosing her opponents. Reyna Reyes makes her way into the office and asks why she was asked to be there. Now, the beginning credits roll in.
McLane welcomes us to another edition to WOW! Jungle Grrrl stands in the ring and grabs a microphone. She says that it seems to her that no one can beat her one-on-one. She tells The Beast if she wants to bring Blanchard with her down to the ring, then do so, and vice versa. She then begs for some competition tonight.
