Jazz is no stranger to high-profile contests, and brought her wealth of experience from ECW and WWE to the table on Sunday night. The reigning World Women’s Champion still looked to be in great shape and was as intimidating as ever, even at 45 years of age.
However, Penelope Ford proved a tough challenge as she attempted to capture her first World Championship. Ford unleashed an impressive arsenal of suplexes, slams, and multiple handspring maneuvers as she tried to topple the veteran champion. However, Jazz was able to overcome Ford’s admirable efforts with a Michinoku Driver and STF submission in order to keep her coveted belt.
The World Women’s title holder then made waves following her victory when she threw her hat into the ring for a chance at the NWA’s top prize. That’s right, Jazz stated that she wants a shot at the proverbial "Ten Pounds of Gold." It’s unclear if that match will actually take place, but if it does, whoever is champion should be fearful as Jazz has proven time and again that she’s a formidable contender for anyone - even the holder of the Worlds Championship.
