Elizabeth Kociański's heart sounded like a drums as it beat within her, trying to maintain a cool facade as she cautiously circled her side of the ring, staring down the black-haired titan in front of her. Roxanna's gold-eyed gaze was cool and unreadable, calmly walking her side of the canvas, her eyes never leaving Beth's.

It wasn't often the blonde found herself fighting someone like Roxanna. This was their first time meeting in the ring, so understandably, she was a nervous wreck. One of her lifelong dreams was to compete against Roxanna, so one could imagine her surprise when Dray called her down to her home-state to fight the ten year veteran she's been longing to face. Beth took a deep breath to calm her nerves, thinking back to her talk with Dray before SmackDown.

"You're gonna be fighting Roxy tonight," Dray said, smirking at a shell-shocked Elizabeth. "That's why I called you here."

"Are you SERIOUS?!" Beth exclaimed, the nerves hitting her like a truck. "YOU WANT ME TO FIGHT ROXY?! I-I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS DRAY!"

"Relax! You'll be just fine! I know you'll do great!" the cornrow-haired man replied, flashing his trademark sharky grin at the anxious blonde.

"I wouldn't put you in this spot if I didn't think you could rise to the occasion. Believe in yourself, Beth. You're good."

* * * *

You've got this Beth. The blonde said to herself, closing her eyes and steeling her nerves. Beth lifted her arms, her blue eyes now open, a flame burning within their depths as a small smile of excitement flashed across her face. You've got this! You can take her!

Roxanna studied the woman silently, her gold eyes narrowing. The cool facade never slipped from her face, but her eyes did glow with excited anticipation as she raised her arms. Both knew this was going to be very physical.

Beth clashed with the dark beauty in the middle of the ring in a fierce tie-up, growling as her Amazon might rammed into the tall woman's supernatural strength.

"And this match starts off with a fierce lock up!" Michael Cole commentated.

"Never did I imagine I'd be calling a match between The Glamazon and Tara Stone!" JBL added with excitement. "I'm pumped Michael!"

Tara's eyes narrowed ominously, her gold eyes flashing, and before Beth even knew what was happening, she was sat on the canvas, with Tara standing over her, the Flower City roaring at the sight. "WHOA! Did ya see that?!" 

"The unnatural strength of Tara coming into play early," Michael commentated.

"She just shoved the Glamazon off her feet! How often do you see that?!" JBL cried out as the blonde stared up at Tara with wide eyes, completely stunned.

"It's rare for Beth Phoenix to have to contend with another woman who is equal in strength, and bigger than her," Michael noted. "This won't be an easy fight for the Glamazon."

Beth scowled angrily, her blue eyes intensifying as she snarled at the domineering glare in Tara's gold eyes, loud chants of "TARA! TARA! TARA!" echoing throughout the Blue Cross Arena. The Glamazon shot to her feet, clashing with Tara again in a feracious lock up. The black-haired women tried to use her larger frame to block the Glamazonian's power, however her brow furrowed as she found herself being pushed back.
