In the weeks leading up to the Final Destination PPV, both Ashley Rains and Jennifer James continued to be a thorn in each other’s side. They would interfere in each other’s matches, causing each other to win and lose by disqualifications and distractions.
Jennifer even went as far as recruiting two other rulebreakers to her cause, for Ashley mostly got the upper hand over her arch rival. Jennifer aligned herself with 5 ft 8 inches tall, built like an Amazon Aundrea Matthews and the 5 ft 5 inches tall, tough as nails Dangerous Dani Gauge. The three women dubbed their stable Deadly Beautiful.
Two weeks before the PPV on Tuesday night, Takedown, the group of rulebreakering women, violently assaulted another woman on the RCW roster Piper Winters backstage. Piper Winters laid helplessly as all three members of Deadly Beautiful brutalized her, when Ashley Rains ran in wielding a steel chair to save the day.
Ashley swung and just missed Dani Gauge with the chair with Aundrea pulling Dani out of the way in the nick of time. Security were now trying to keep all 4 women apart. They all tried to break free from the clutches of the security team, trying to still fight each other as their emotions ran high.
“I’ll see you next week….. BITCH!!! Dani Gauge shouted at Ashley Rains with pure hatred.
“I’m gonna rip your damn HEAD OFF!!! Ashley replied in a fit of rage. For Ashley and Dani were already scheduled to face each other in a singles match, the Tuesday before the PPV.
The following weeks episode of Takedown had come, and Deadly Beautiful blistered Ashley in a backstage promo earlier in the night, for not being at last Thursday’s episode of Allstars. Ashley’s absence was due in part to her making rounds with different talk shows and podcasts to promote her upcoming match with Jennifer James at Final Destination. Finally, it was time for Ashley’s match with Dani Gauge.
Ashley Rains made her way to the ring, while Dani Gauge, accompanied by the rest of Deadly Beautiful, already made their entrance. The house lights faded causing the arena to go pitch black, As Ashley’s music came across the arenas speakers while the stage lights began to flicker, as Ashley Rains hit the stage to a large enthusiastic pop from the crowd. Ashley paused on stage for a moment before running down the ramp sliding into the ring and attacked Dani Gauge with a double leg takedown jump starting their match.
Ashley landed several haymakers then went to work on Dani’s leg with some heel hooks, as the referee called for the bell officially starting the match. Ashley was on the offensive early on, taking out all her frustrations that had been building up to this point on her opponent.

The chants of Ashley!!!, Ashley!!!, Ashley!!! filled the air, as the RCW Fandom tried to will their hero back to her feet. Ashley drove her elbow back into Dani’s face as Dani relented her grip. Ashley staggered to her feet, attempting to shake the pain out of her right leg as she fought back.

At this point, Dani refocused on Ashley’s leg with repeating elbow blows to her knee. Dani Gauge dragged Ashley over to one of the ring corners, then slid out underneath the ring and rung Ashley’s ravaged leg into the ring post, issuing her more pain.
The referee chastised Dani Gauge for her actions and warned Dani to keep the action clean. The ref commenced a countdown commanding Dani Gauge to re-enter the ring, in that moment Jennifer James took the opportunity to ram Ashley’s leg back into the ring post inflicting more excruciating pain on her rival she despised most. Jennifer’s heinous measures drove the RCW fan base insane with fury as they berated Jennifer for her transgressions.
“Boo hoo…. cry me a river, you worthless disgusting PIGS!!! Jennifer said in displeasure, as she antagonized the people at ringside.
Dani Gauge rolled into the ring when the referee reached the count of 5, stopping his count. Ashley Rains using the ring ropes pulled herself up into the corner of the ring, when she was met with a charging European uppercut courtesy of Dani Gauge, that sent Ashley crumbling back to the wrestling mat face first. Dani took hold of Ashley’s leg and drove it into the ring mat, triggering more intense pain to her opponent’s already compromised leg. Ashley laid there defenseless as the show went into commercial.
During the commercial break, Dani continued her relentless assault on Ashley. When the show came back from its scheduled break, Dani stood over her opponent while Ashley Rains managed to get to one knee. Dani Gauge helped the RCW women’s champion to her feet by torquing on Ashley’s hair, when Ashley Rains drilled her fist into her tormentor’s midsection as she landed a series of chops’ to Dani’s chest.

The arena rose to a fever pitch as the urged Ashley to get up, as J James a long with Aundrea Matthews both pleaded desperately for Dani Gauge to do the same. Both Competitors slowly got back to their feet as the ref reached the count, the count of 9. Ashley proceeded to land a slew of arm drags, and back body drops as Dani rushed towards her.
Dani Gauge was now on the defensive as Ashley Rains retook control of the match. with her injured limb, Ashley miraculously leaped into the air and hit a standing dropkick.

Ashley kicked up off the wrestling surface and hovered over her opponent.
As Dani staggered to her feet, Ashley picked her up and violently drove Dani back down onto the mat with one of her finishing maneuvers, which she named Thunder Driver 99. Ashley covered her opponent as the referee brought his hand down for 1…2…3, giving Ashley Rains a decisive win over Dani Gauge.
After the match was over, Ashley celebrated her win to a massive reaction from the fans. Jennifer drew Ashley’s focus while she continued to celebrate her victory, when Aundrea Matthews snuck into the ring and walloped Ashley from behind with a steel chair. Jennifer James entered the ring, sporting a pair of electric clippers in hand, as the rest of her cohorts kicked & stomped her arch nemesis.

Deadly Beautiful bailed out of the ring before the Barber could relieve Ashley Rains of her hair. Gi Jade and Erica Draven help Ashley up, as she hobbled on one leg. All six women stared each other down with hateful intent.
“I’ll break that leg off and take it with me, when I take your title and your hair! Jennifer James threatened menacingly, while Ashley Rains stared her nemesis down with a stone cold grimace on her face, as the show faded to commercial.
