Title Ceremony featuring the current AFW World Champion - Kelly Conway

Preceded By: Summer Splash 15 Tag Title Four Corners Match!
Followed By: Summer Splash 15 Closing Ceremony


"Ladies and Gentlemen! Please Welcome your NEW Friction World Champion, Kelly Conway!"

The crowd's applause and cheering was loud. Loud enough to bring someone out from behind the mysterious backstage door.

But the person who came out was not a tall, blonde, possibly evil champion, but rather, a very short pink-haired girl wearing a red conductor's costume, holding a microphone, who took a small curtsey amongst the sea of slightly confused murmurings.

"Ladies and gentlemen... introducing..." She squeaked coughed and tried again. Damned nerves. "INTRODUCING, THE ONE AND ONLY AFW FRICTION CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!" As cued, a full orchestra came out from hiding, and Rosie stepped onto the podium that had just been raised. It wasn't even her ceremony, but just looking at the masses of crowd made her feel important and successful. Which she totally was. Definitely.

And so she started to conduct. Yeezy of all things, not her type of music, but the audience didn't seem to care. They were getting hyped up all over.

Beside the arena ramp was a band, a full orchestra that sat in front of Ms. Rosie Xu as a live version of "Flashing Lights" by Kanye West began to play through out the arena. The strings, the drums dropped as the lights dimmed in the arena as a platform began to slowly inch from the entrance stage, designed to look like the corner of a wrestling ring, having ropes and even a steel post corner.

Atop it stood a blonde young woman with her hair hanging down, having the proudest smile upon her face as she held the AFW Friction World Title High Above her head.


"SHE DON'T BELIEVE IN SHOOTING STAAARS" The Woman yelled from her traveling platform as she showed off her title while red, white and blue balloons rained from the ceiling.

"BUT I BELIEVE IN SHOES AND CAAARRRS!" She screeched so proudly, singing her own theme like she wrote it and could mock it her leasuire.

Finally her platform reached the ring and Kelly climbed the steel post before hopping off it to drop herself in the ring where she bounced around in place with the title above her head.

"DREAMS COME TRUE! DREAMS COME TRUE! DREAMS COME TRUE! DREAMS COME TRUE! DREAMS COME TRUE! DREAMS COME TRUE! DREAMS COME TRUE! DREAMS COME TRUE! DREAMS COME TRUE! DREAMS COME TRUE! DREAMS COME TRUE! " She yelled aloud to the crowd, to the camera as she soaked up her moment. Eventually standing in the center of the ring with the title still raised above her head before fireworks went off from the four corners of the ring as an American flag would drop and hang from the ceiling above.

Kelly then waddled over to the edge of the ring to grab a mic before returning to the center of the ring, looking to Rosie to stop the music while the precious title was slung over her shoulder.

"F-First off..." She sniffled and wiped a crocodile tear from her eye. "I'd like to thank Ms. Rosie Xu for being cool and organizing my hype theme song. And second... *sniff*... I'm so... Happy... My gawd.... So..." She began to tear up more.

"I-I'm sorry... It's just so nice... To be surrounded by so many familiar faces... Considering the person I won this title from... Didn't have much of a face anymore!""[/color]

And a shower, a curtain, a sea of deafening boos soon followed as Kelly lowered her title and mic, tilted her head up and gave a throaty laugh.

She then lowered her head and took a deep breath.

"LAAAAADIES AND GENTLEMAN WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DELAY! YOUR NEW! AFW FRICTION CHAMPION! KELLY! CONYWAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!" And the crowd

It was pretty cringey watching Kelly's little performance. Even more than the whole ordeal of conducting a Kanye song. But Rosie had to put up with the performance, and she put her a (fake) polite smile, bowing professionally as cued.

She even heard a few cheers in the sea of boos. She'd liked to think that they were cheers for her. Onto part two. Rosie walked into the ring, taking the title off of Kelly's shoulders and buckled it in its "proper" place around Kelly's waist. More boos. What a surprise.

Kelly lifted her head high and proud as Rosie came over and situated the title around her waist, basking in the displeasure of the crowd that was forced to watch the ceremony unfold as the precious Friction Championship was now locked around the waist of its true official holder.

And Kelly stood there in the center of the ring with her arms held high as her head tilted back before she brought the mic back to her lips.

"Now I understand that some of you were displeased with the way I won the Title... Understandable! But for those of you who arent aware... I hail from... America! The Land of opprunity! And Opprtunity is what I want to give to someone here at Summer Splash '15!" Kelly shouted into her mic as she raised her fist high as she expected a cheer of approval that never came.

"Im not here to give a chance to someone like Akashi, Taylor, Angel... Or even someone from my crew! I want a fresh face! Someone who truly NEEDS to be noticed for once!  For that reason alone! I chose someone I felt management has long forgotten..." Kelly let her words hang before she pointed at the entrance stage.

"Aiko Takeda! Former Competitor in the Little Princess of the Ring, Kawaii Tournament! I offer you a shot at the Friction Championship!"

Aiko was backstage sipping some orange crush and watching the TV screen showing the images of the cerimony, wearing her skintight leotard gymnastics-like as he had just finished a light workout, when she heard Kelly make his name as chosen for a titled match !!! Looking at the wide screen, the cute girl would blink a couple of times with a puzzled face but no other immediate reactions.



Then.... "SPLUTTTT ..... !!! Nonono must be a joke ...! A stupid joke!", she would spray orange crush everywhere, yelling in disbelief.
Aiko knew well that she was not even close to being a serious candidate for a position as challenger, given her young and so far lackluster career. To be perfectly honest, she had just recently returned from a training period in a dojo of her hometown, and was now watching TV just to catch up on who the new champion.... And, now she was the designated challenger of this Kelly Conway???
Oh well, it was not nice of her...? Pffft, what the hell was going on really?! Also, judging by BOOOOs of the crowd there was not much to trust that girl.

"Oh you're here miss Takeda. Very good. You heard the big news right? So, congratulations, and out on the ramp in one minute!" A staff member would appear into the room, letting her know that she was not dreaming in such flat, matter of facts way. Aiko was dumbfounded to say the least, everything was happening just too fast!

The tunes of Aiko's song "God is a girl" started echoeing in the arena, not allowing her much more time to stay there and ponder: flush-faced, Aiko would wear appear on the ramp wearing a hint of a smile and feeling like Cinderella at the ball.
The crowd welcomed her with a mix of booing and roaring, which made the cute girl even more confused before, soon, she would realize that the actual target of the disappointed audience was the blonde girl waiting on the ring with a not very reassuring smile, and her controversial choice of give her a chance. Both the champion and the crowd were probably considering her weak and not worthy, thought Aiko, and she wanted to prove all of them wrong.

Well, since a good number of her old fans had not forgotten the petite wrestling gymnast, whisteling and cheering at her, Aiko would decide to reward her with a nice entrance, getting on a vertical onto the opposite turnbuckle from where Kelly was standing, and then flipping herself into the ring with a nice split!
The fans roared even wilder, which could maybe annoy the new champion a little bit... but hey, she had called out for Aiko in first place!

"Thank you thank you thank you domo arigato! Pleased to meet you miss Conway, new champion. And, if you come from America, the land of opportunity, I come from Japan, the land of honor. So I will not ask why when and what, but I honor your kind offer by acceptiing this match!", the kawaii girl would say once facing the blonde vixen, concluding with a slight courtesy bowing that made her look even cuter, if possible.
Aiko had not been given other choices but to improvise her little speech there. She still had managed to come out with something decent in spite of inevitable nervousness though... judging from the loud reaction from her fans.

Kelly grinned happily when she saw Aiko appear. She clasped her hands together proudly while the crowd mostly reveled in the appearance of the young Japanese  girl. Overall, Kelly was just happy to see that her guest had accepted the invite. She stood there proudly as the young gymnast made her way over as the cutesy song played for her one true opponent!

When Aiko got in the ring, Kelly politely bowed with her before straighten up and reaching out for the smaller girl's hands, towering over the barely five foot girl who had now accepted the match.

"That's right! You hail from the land of honor! And it's only right that I, Kelly Conway, honor you with a chance to Win the Friction Title in your home country! I noticed you so long ago during the little princess of the ring tournament! And I thought... 'Hey, she deserves a chance since she hasn't had much since then'." Kelly said with a wide grin.

"IT JUST WOULDN'T BE SUMMER SPLASH WITHOUT THE FRICTION TITLE ON THE LINE!" Kelly declared as she removed her title and raised it high. "AND NOW LADIES AND GENTLEMAN! FOR THE FRICTION WORLD TITLE! KELLY 'THE AMERICAN HERO' CONWAY VS. AIKO TAKEDA!!!" she roared into the mic before passing the mic and title to Rosie, then backing away from Aiko to go to her corner.

After a brief pause the bell would finally ring and Kelly with her hands up would march to the center of the ring before offering her hand to Aiko.

"May the best girl win!" She said with a toothy grin.

Aiko would rise an eybrow at Kelly's suspiciously warm welcome and her even more suspicius offer of a starting handshake.
The crowd was a chorus of "nooo nooo", which made the Japanese girl even more nervous about the whole thing.
But on the other hand, it was her first titled match and she didn't want to look like the bad guy, refusing to shake hands with the one who had offered her a chance after all.
So, Aiko would stretch out her small hand and accept the handshake.
"mff..alright then, good luck for the match".

Kelly stood there proudly, looking back and forth at the crowd before going back to Aiko who would stretch herself out and accept the handshake.

Kelly took the girl's hand, shook it with a smile and then raised her other hand before trying to suddenly jam her right thumb into one of Aiko's pretty little eyes.

Aiko's wide lovely eyes were perfect when it came to look extremely cute and bring the audience to her side, but in this case they just made an easier target for Kelly's nasty move.

"NYAAHHH...!!! C-CHEATER...!!!", the Japanese girl would yell her useless protest in surprise and pain: at the same time, her right leg would spring forward into a kick to Kelly's crotch, more an instinctive and shocked reaction than an actual attempt at a counter move, but still quite painful if it would hit the low target.

With that, Aiko would then get down to her knees regardless of the effectiveness of her kick, groaning and whining while rubbing her sore eye in temporary blindless.
She could not believe it:  "What kind of "honorable champion" would call out an opponent only to then stick a thumb into their eye???", the poor girl would silently curse in pain and contempt.
