"The Adorkable Angel" Azurine Vebbins
Notioned Nidia’s favorite color was lavender. She always comments how sexy I am in every shade of purple. Why she’d pick out dis fearsome fabric? Maybe I’m not viewin’ it in da right light. Should head into da adjacent area and slip it on for size. Give it a spin. Still have plenty of time before I salsa wid Skrabal...plus, bein’ an honest housewife I should respect whatever wardrobe choices my supportive spouse picks out for me…
As soon as Vebbins disappears into the en suite bathroom of her dressing room, the lights begin to flicker. After a few moments, they return back to normal. However, standing nearby where the dress was hanging is the same creepy looking doll that graced “The Adorkable Angel” with her presence on the last episode of ThrowDown.
The lights dim as the opening to “Indestructible” by Disturbed begins to play through the PA system, a thin layer of fog begins to cover the entrance stage and ramp when a dark blue spotlight shines down on a kneeling hooded figure looking down to the floor. As the song kicks into full swing, the figure slowly rises to her feet and even though the bottom half of her face is covered with a face mask, we can see that it's Becca “Bruiser” Maguire who makes an “M” shape with her hands to signify the Shieldmaidens.

The following Hardcore Match is for one fall!!! Making her way to the ring first... weighing in at 150 pounds..... from New Orleans, Louisiana....... representing the Shieldmaidens... Becca "Bruiser" Maguire!!!
Maguire begins to slowly and methodically make her way down the ramp, focusing on nothing but the ring in front of her. Once she reaches the bottom of the ramp, she slides into the ring and while staying on her hands and knees, she scoots over to the center before making the “M” shape with her hands again and then slowly stands to her feet while pulling back her hood and removing the face mask, revealing a snarl across her face as “Indestructible” fades out.

You gotta give it to Bruiser. She is fearless. Always ready to go to war.
Wavy Crockett
She's stupid if you ask me. It's okay to not be scared of anyone. But it's 'smart' to avoid getting murdered.
Ray Hudson
Until she beats Reaper, and then what will you have to say?
Wavy Crockett
She won't though.
The foreboding guitars and drums of Kamelot's "Necropolis" starts up as the arena goes dark. A spotlight shines down upon and follows the motion of the masked Reaper as he seemingly 'appears' within the fog billowing out of the stage.
Ray Hudson
Well here comes your guy right here.
Wavy Crockett
So what don't you like about him then?
Ray Hudson
Never said I didn't like him. His lawyer can be annoying sometimes. But Reaper definitely has a bright future here in MHW.
Following closely behind Reaper is his lawyer and manager, Aloysius Marcus Vance IV, boosting the big man as they approach the ring.
Meozha Zhanae
And her opponent... weighing in at 272 pounds..... from Hell....... accompanied to ring by Aloysius Marcus Vance IV... he is Reaper!!!
There's little pomp and circumstance where Reaper is concerned; he ignores the fans and their reactions, pays no attention to anyone else in the ring... he doesn't even look around.
Wavy Crockett
I just dont think anyone can stop this man. Look at him!
Reaper pulls himself to the apron, steps over the ropes and goes to face the camera, glowering behind his imposing metal mask. After a few moments, he moves into one of the neutral corners of the ring, doffing his long jacket and standing with his hands upon the ropes, head lowered, waiting for the battle to commence as Aloysius moves to the outside, continuing to talk him up.
Ray Hudson
It's about to get brutal...

Reaper
vs
Becca "Bruiser" Maguire
As soon as the bell rings, Bruiser charges Reaper, spearing him to the mat. She immediately starts laying elbow strikes into the top of his head.
Reaper throws Bruiser off of him and gets to his feet. Bruiser hits him with a European uppercut, followed by a big boot. Both strikes only make him take steps backwards.
Bruiser goes for a suplex, but can't get Reaper off the ground. Reaper pulls her up and hits her with a brainbuster.
Reaper gets to his feet and easily pulls Bruiser up with him lifting her up over his head and dropping her with military press drop.
Reaper puts his boot down over the back of Bruiser's head as the fans have mixed reactions for the mysterious monster of a man.
Bruiser fights out from under Reaper's boot, able to roll out of the ring. She wastes no time digging under the ring, as Reaper slowly makes his way over the top rope to the outside.
Bruiser pulls out a sledgehammer and Reaper charges her with a leaping shoulderblock, causing her to drop the sledgehammer. Reaper looks down at the sledgehammer as the fans start getting louder.
Reaper walks past the sledgehammer though and pulls Bruiser to her feet. Bruiser quickly starts unloading with knife-edge chops.
Reaper reaches for Bruiser's neck and lifts her in the air, chokeslamming her onto the ring apron, making a cracking noise, followed by the sound of the fans going "ooooo".
Bruiser holds her back in pain while Reaper pulls her up off the concrete floor again and rolls her into the ring, causing some boos.
Reaper begins climbing up the apron and Bruiser comes out of nowhere with her Freedom Punch, knocking him back down on his feet to the concrete floor!!!
Reaper rests his head on the barricade for a moment. Bruiser is on the ring apron and jumps with all her might coming down onto Reapers head with her Kickstarter, sandwiching Reaper between her boot and the barricade, as she falls to her ass on the concrete floor!!!
Reaper has collapsed to the floor and the fans are chanting "Holy Shit!"
Bruiser continued to fight her heart out, and Reaper kept proving to be arguably the strongest man in MHW. Bruiser would even get a hold of the sledgehammer and slam it sideways into Reaper's face/mask.
Maybe the mask protected Reaper's face well enough, as even the sledgehammer wasn't enough to keep Reaper out of the fight.
Finally, while getting to his feet on the outside, Bruiser came flying from the top rope at him, only to get caught in a choke hold. Reaper would lift Bruiser off her feet by the neck, turn around, and set her on her feet before giving her a nasty Throwing Spinebuster through the announcer's table!!!
Reaper covered her for the win.

The fans went nuts!!!
The camera showed AMV4 shaking his head in disappointment at Bruiser's desire to not
