Conversely, this was absolutely f*cking blinding.

Looked after at the Cambridge tapings, heel Jinny shot after young upstart Millie McKenzie in an exceptional advert for the future of the league.

"Primark Princess" was the parochial patter chucked at Jinny by the audience as she laid waste to the 18-year-old with Downward Spiral and a surfboard submission, with the beating feeding the frenzy for McKenzie's electric comeback strikes.

Her german suplexes and spears even had the crowd believing before Jinny polished her off with a kick, but brilliantly, the best still felt yet to come from the two upstarts.
