Although Black Mask had won his brutal match against Otto Randle, he still had to fight another gauntlet match before King Kamehameha would concede and give him a shot at his title. Before that however, would be a match for Night Queen, Black Maria, and Dark Mistress to decide who would be given a spot in the Women's Summit Clash. Although they were shocked to find out that their opponents would be each other.
"So they're pitting the three of you against each other to decide the final spot in the Summit Clash in the women's competition. This isn't ideal. Only one of you can win." Black Mask said assessing the situation.
"So, what are we going to do? You know the rules we have in the Dark Dynasty. Anyone who loses is out. Are two of us really going to be kicked out so soon?" Black Maria asked.
"Hey I can't get kicked out, I'm technically not even back in!" Dark Mistress protested.
"Of course I'm aware of the rules. I'm the one that made them." Black Mask said slightly annoyed.
"Oh, I didn't mean…" Black Maria tried to say but she was ignored.
"You're right though. Usually if someone loses they'd be out, but obviously these are extenuating circumstances." Black Mask explained. "But still, this is a pivotal match for our group, there should be a grand prize for the winner, and a hefty punishment for the losers. I'll make the punishment on my own. Now I'll ask you three, what should the prize be?"
The three looked back and forth at each other. They didn't have to say anything for the three to come to an agreement for their prize for winning.
"We want a date with you! The three said in unison.
"Tch, what a ridiculous request I really don't understand what you three are thinking sometimes." Black Mask scoffed. Though most anyone else could easily see what the three women were thinking. "Fine, but I'd better see an incredible performance out of the three of you."
"Yes sir." The three said in unison again. The three seemed to be in perfect sync today for some reason.
"Suppose you two should go ahead and prepare for your punishment, because obviously there's no way either of you could ever beat me." Night Queen declared confidently. "I wonder where I should go on my date with Black Mask. Oh, I should go ahead and pick out an outfit."
"What makes you feel so confident?" Black Maria asked. "You shouldn't underestimate me, you might not like the results."
"Well I am the top ranking female member of the Dark Dynasty. So it's only natural to assume that you two are inferior to me." Night Queen said condescendingly. "Though, I suppose that such things would just go over your head. Perhaps I should explain in a way a barbaric woman like you would understand. Me, better. You worse. Does that answer your question?" She asked with feigned politeness.
The two went back and forth for some time, exchanging catty comments, and backhanded compliments at each other for sometime before they noticed that Dark Mistress had been uncharacteristically quiet, so they asked why she hadn't taken part in their exchange of insults.
"Well, guess it just doesn't matter that much to me." Dark Mistress responded nonchalantly. "I mean if I win I get to go on a date with the boss, but if I lose I get punished by the boss. It sounds like a win-win to me." She said as she shrugged her shoulders.
Given her bizarre answer, which was par for the course from her, the other two looked at each and agreed that they wished they hadn't bothered asking her.
A week had passed and it was time for their triple threat match to decide the final entry to the Women's Summit Clash. The three each made their entrances into the ring and Black Mask stood with Twilight Killer and Black Knight around the side of the ring.
"Wow, I think we were all surprised when this match was announced. To think that all the female members of the Dark Dynasty are facing each other at once. You have to wonder why they made the decision to pit these three against each other." Ted said.
"Well, this is just something that I heard, but I hear it's because they didn't want too many members of the Dark Dynasty entered in the same event." Bill told him.
"I see, well that's a bit harsh but I can understand where they're coming from. I mean the Summit Clash Match is a 8 man, or in this case woman, event. Having potentially three women who could work together in an wvu like that would have been borderline unfair advantage." Ted replied.
"I couldn't agree more Ted, I mean it's already bad enough that they have two guys working together in the men's event. I think this was a good call."
"Now, these are three women that we have actually not seen that much in the ring. Dark Mistress and Black Maria have only had one match each, and both of Night Queen's matches have been ended quickly. So it'll be nice to see some more from these talented women." Ted said as the match got started.
The match started with Maria coming out quickly with two clotheslines for both of her opponents. Dark Mistress got hit but quickly jumped back up to her feet. Night Queen jumped over the forearm strike and countered with a kick to Maria's back before landing back in the ring.
"Wow! This match is getting off to an incredibly quick start. I wasn't sure how this match was going to go with all three women being teammates, but it doesn't seem like they're hesitating at all!" Ted said.
Maria rushed towards Night Queen and threw a ferocious barrage of strikes at her, but most were dodged by her. While Maria was focusing on Night Queen, Dark Mistress jumped on Maria's back and put her in a rear naked choke. While she was focused on her submission hold, Night Queen came in with a drop kick to Dark Mistress and knocked her down. She then went for a hurricanrana on Black Maria, but she was countered and ended up taking a powerful kick from Maria.
"Who do you think has the advantage in this match? Maria is an expert striker, Dark Mistress is a submission specialist, they both have distinct advantages in different areas. Night Queen is the most well rounded." Twilight Killer said to Black Mask as they watched from the side of the ring.
As Twilight Killer was speaking, the match continued as a back and forth brawl with each of the competitors getting countered before they could gain the upper hand.
"When one of them gets within striking distance they get pummeled by Maria's strikes. If one of them lets their guard down Missy locks in a submission hold. Without a doubt they both have a sure fire way to win this match." Black Mask said. "If this was a kickboxing match Maria would easily win, likewise Missy would win a submission grappling match." Black Mask continued.
"But what about Night Queen?" Twilight Killer asked.
"A ridiculous question. She's already in her most dominant style. Her specialty, is winning!" Black Mask replied.
As soon as Black Mask finished speaking, Night Queen rolled Black Maria up onto her back. As Dark Mistress moved in to attack with another submission, Night Queen let Maria go and did a jumping backflip over Dark Mistress. She then landed a kick to her face that knocked her out onto the mat.
As Dark Mistress went down, Maria got up. Night Queen went for a hurricanrana again and this time she successfully landed it on Maria. While she was down, Night Queen landed a standing shooting star press on Maria. This left her stunned and Night Queen covered.
"1!"
"2!"
"3!"
