Sadie Gibbs and Bea Priestley had a pre-existing beef before they were booked to work spots at All Out 2019.

Gibbs had drawn the ire of Priestley's partner Will Ospreay, who had accused her of a lack of professionalism by leaving a tour of STARDOM early. In reality, Gibbs was dealing with a family bereavement.

"I don't care who's fackin' dead, you've got a job to do!" Ospreay didn't say, but he might as well have. He was awful in the aftermath of the incident and has admitted this himself, referring to his actions as "super immature". He also claims to have earned Sadie's forgiveness a while later - but all was still not well at All Out on August 31.

During the Buy In Casino Battle Royale, Priestley distributed a receipt after Gibbs took down Mercedes Martinez with a headscissors. Bea cleaned her clock with a kick and belted her across the upper back. Bea repeatedly and very loudly screamed that Gibbs was "Stupid! Stupid!"

Gibbs fired back with a gorilla press slam that Bea no-sold completely. No defiance, no fiery comeback: just instantaneous "f*ck selling that" unprofessionalism.

Gibbs per the dearly missed Casey Michael was so furious that she swung at Priestley backstage before a potential fight was broken up by bystanders.
