Nixon Newell vs. LuFisto at Shimmer Volume 89

Nixon Newell needed a big win after her losses to Mercedes Martinez and Cat Power. Quebec native LuFisto is one of the top wrestlers in the world. LuFisto had become know over the years for her violent, hardcore style of wrestling. In more recent years she had proven she was just as capable being an all-rounder. Nixon had a chance at Shimmer Volume 89 to score the biggest win of her Shimmer tenure so far -- if she could defeat LuFisto. Nixon was offered a handshake by LuFisto after the opening bell. Nixon accepted but it was a ruse as Lufisto pulled her into a waistlock.

Newell fired back striking blows to LuFisto's stomach followed by two armdrags and a single leg dropkick. Newell went for the Shiniest Wizard but LuFisto evaded it, sweeping her opponent to the canvas with a kick. She relentlessly assaulted Nixon's leg with a variety of offense. The Quebecer continued to deliver pain cracking a chop across Nixon's chest that had her hanging onto the rope to avoid crashing to the canvas. Nixon tried to mount a comeback only to get the wind knocked out of her by a lariat.

LuFisto crushed Nixon with a hip attack in the corner before applying a half crab. Nixon forced the break by grabbing the rope, however LuFisto struck the leg she had been working on with a PK igniting a stinging pain in it far worse than the crab. LuFisto hung Nixon in the ropes and delivered another PK to her injured leg. She dragged Nixon to the center of the ring applying a full crab this time. Nixon managed to the ropes but LuFisto took her time getting off her back.

Nixon fought out of a chinlock only to get slapped across the face. She fired back at LuFisto with an even more aggressive slap, igniting a back and forth. Nixon followed up with a basement superkick and cover for two. She tried to charge LuFisto in the corner but her leg gave out. LuFisto took over, taking Nixon to the canvas with a bridging cradle suplex for a two. Nixon fired back waffling her opponent with a roundhouse kick to the head. Nixon slapped some life into her leg before slumping in the corner after missing a running elbow.

LuFisto charged at Nixon and smashed her with Les Cannonball. She immediately hit the ropes again, this time delivering a running double boot scrape to the face. LuFisto looked to finish things with a burning hammer, however Nixon countered with a crucifix pin for the three count and victory. Nixon wisely hurried to the back braving a bit of a limp before the stunned LuFisto could potentially react to the loss violently.
