The Match:
'For Those About to Rock' starts to play! The fans rise up to greet Roxanne! As the curtains open for her to come down, you can see her motioning for someone to stay there. She seems to be re-assuring this person of something. She then turns and comes down the aisle to a nice ovation! She slaps hands and comes to the ringside area. She comes up to the Legion of Doom with a big smile.

Roxanne gives each light 'head-butts' and then high-fives them both. They nod to her and wish her luck. She climbs into the ring, holding her hand up to the fans.

Next, Wild Chylde DiBiase is introduced! The fans cheer wildly as she comes through, holding the World Title! The Doctor of Style is with her and he comes dancing through the curtains. He urges her to dance and she tries. Wild Chylde then slaps the fans hands as she comes down the aisle and she climbs into the ring.

The referee moves to take the belt from Wild Chylde and she clutches it up to herself, smiling. She then hands the belt over. The referee holds it up and everyone applauds! Roxanne shakes Wild Chylde's hand... and the bell sounds.

Roxanne opens with a Drop Toe hold, taking the champ down. Wild Chylde finds her way to her feet and bounces off the ropes. Roxanne sets.... ANOTHER drop toe hold!

DiBiase again begins to get up. Roxanne brings up a kneelift... then another... and another!!! DiBiase is getting rocked! Roxanne hooks her in a front face lock... SNAP SUPLEX!!! Roxanne rolls over on top of Wild Chylde, who slips out the back door.

JR: Roxanne perhaps looking for an early pin.

The two wrestlers get up to their feet. Wild Chylde moves in... Roxanne leaps up and puts both boots in the champs mid-section... MONKEY FLIP!!! Roxanne kips up to her feet and finds that Wild Chylde flipped over on HER feet!!!

JR: What great athleticism! But Roxanne has Wild Chylde on the defensive, and that takes just as much out of the gas tank!

Roxanne rushes at Wild Chylde... RUNNING KNEELIFT!!! DiBiase goes down! Roxanne stands over her... holds out and up a leg... LEG DROP!!!

Roxanne pulls up the champion and slams a European Uppercut to her jaw. Wild Chylde is stunned from the shot and she backs up. Roxanne kicks her with the flat off her boot, pushing her back to the ropes...

Wild Chylde comes running off with added momentum.... CLOTHESLINE... INTO A STANDING SIDE HEADLOCK!!!

JR: GREAT prescense of mind by the champion... to HOLD ON... and now catch her breath with a wear down move!

Wild Chylde cranks on the head vise and Roxanne looks caught. She tries to push Wild Chylde off and to the ropes... but cannot! She switches tactics. Roxanne reaches down and FLIPS Wild Chylde off by lifting her leg!!! The champ goes down! Roxanne pushes a knee into her mid-section, knocking the breath from her...

She then stands her up and whips her to the corner.... WILD CHYLDE REVERSES!!! Roxanne is thrown hard to the corner! Wild Chylde comes running in.... Roxanne tucks and rolls out of the way... but Wild Chylde blocks herself from crashing in the corner!!! She turns... Roxanne leaps up and hooks her in a crucifix PIN Maneuver!!! Roxanne can't pull her down!!! Roxanne tries...

Wild Chylde breaks her arms free, causing Roxanne to drop to the mat!!! The champion pulls her up in a head vise, twisting her head around.

JR: The champion getting agressive! But you NEED to! That's what it's all about!

Roxanne tries to spin free, but Wild Chylde holds her tight. Roxanne clutches up her hand and pushes her ELBOW back into Wild Chylde's ribs!! The hold is BROKEN!!! Roxanne rolls back and up to her feet! Wild Chylde is stunned....

Roxanne leaps up... CRUCIFIX PIN MANEUVER.... SHE DROPS HER BACK... HER SHOULDERS ARE ON THE MAT.... THE REF COUNTS...

1.... 2.... Wild Chylde sits up out of the crucifix!!! Roxanne let's go of Wild Chylde's shoulder with her legs... and hooks them on Wild Chylde's head!!! She pulls Wild Chylde back down to the canvas.... 1... 2...
