What started with Candice LeRae's pettiness has led to an all out war, and with it some sort of brand new tank Shotzi Blackheart's been secretly crafting.

This is far from the only exciting prospect about this match, but the new tank should make for a red (green?) hot start to a contest that has to avoid getting wonky early on. Blackheart's victory on the WarGames go-home show upset much of what we've typically come to accept about a minor contrivance with the stipulation - the heels need the advantage.

There's a way around this on the night (more on that later), but the match itself will look to try and outperform the men's equivalent likely to go on later in the night. Expect something insane from Blackheart, a possible cage-roof Eclipse from Ember Moon and another breakout night for Raquel Gonzalez Several of the women here shone in last year's maiden offering, with LeRae as well as Dakota Kai, Io Shirai and Rhea Ripley all having star-making evenings before the babyface win.

The opposite will be true this year - partly due to the actions of one of those key players...

Winners - Team Candice
