BEFORE:
Hayley Williams has had mixed success in the ring thus far, first losing her debut to Maisie Williams but then redeeming herself with a dominant win over AnnaSophia Robb. Now, she’s looking to surge ahead with a win over famed superstar Ariana Grande. Williams looking relaxed and more casual at the press conference, wearing a green top, camo pants, and big round shades that hide a big part of her face as she responds to questions from the audience.

"I guess Ariana sees this fight as kind of a hurdle on the way to a rematch with Avril.... I know Avril has been giving her the run around about this whole rematch thing and we all knew Ariana was pretty angry about it...but what happened earlier tonight was crossing the line. Honestly, I don't care why she’s here or that she’s angry. I saw this as another opportunity to learn, improve, and have some fun fighting a pretty decent opponent. But after what she did earlier, it’s way more personal now. Hopefully I can get some payback for my stable mate tonight.”

“Outside of the drama, Ariana and me are pretty evenly matched physically…” she continues, addressing Ariana in third-person across the table. “She's very quick and athletic, so I definitely have to watch out, don’t wanna be too eager or reckless. She's got the experience advantage, she’s been in a ton of fights. Hopefully I can keep up with her and show her what I've been working on. Avril already beat her once, and I plan to do the same. It might take me more time than it took Av to do it, but Ariana is going down!"

Ariana all dolled up and ready to fight at the other end of the room. Her hair tied up high in ponytail, black brassiere and panties showing off her toned figure as she smirks and scoffs at Hayley’s own assessment of her.

"Whatever Hayley. I've only got one thing to say - I'm done losing. My win streak starts tonight, and Hayley, unfortunately for her, will be the first victim. Or…second victim, if you count my little “performance” earlier tonight.” Ariana says with a smirk. “Nothing personal about this one, Williams is just in my way. Once I'm done with her, I'm coming for her blonde friend, again. You saw what I’m capable of earlier tonight. I’m not playing games. That fluke of a win for Avril was an embarrassment I need to fix ASAP. And I will. Now, out of my way,” she concludes, scraping her chair back and not bothering to wait for Hayley’s reply at learning she’s playing second fiddle in this fight.

Its fight time, and Ariana makes her way to the ring first to a staggering amount of boos. 

Her little stunt earlier clearly didn’t sit well with the audience in attendance tonight, but it seems like that is exactly the response she was looking for as she struts towards the ring, one hand on her hip, a smug smirk on her face. She’s wearing her black bra from earlier, black panties and matching black gloves. Grande enters the ring and bows to the booing crowd, blowing kisses at all her new haters.

Next up it Hayley, and she comes out to the sound of a Paramore songs, all smiles, waving to the ecstatic fans as she quickly jogs her way to the ring, giving some high fives to the fans on her way. Williams is wearing her baby blue sports bra, blue\white muay thai trunks and blue\white gloves, her blonde hair braided. She quickly slides into the ring under the ropes and thanks the crowd once again by lifting her arms above her head and giving them the thumbs up!

The girls ready themselves at opposing corners of the ring for a minute or two, doing last minute breathing and stretching, and listening to advice from corners. Bell finally rings and here they go, with ten rounds of Flyweight action!

ROUND 1:
As expected from seeing how Ariana and Hayley fought before, the first round sees a clash of two different styles: Ariana swarming forward like a pack of crazed bees, whilst Hayley hanging back and trying to fend them off using defensive counter-measures. Hard to tell who comes out on top, but usually (and unfortunately) the judges go with Ariana’s quantity over quality, with the constant pressure every second of the round exerted on Hayley’s defenses, jab after jab after jab just slamming into her forearms. Hayley’s corner anticipated this, of course, and she’s trained for it - fighting back mid-way with counter blows that land on Ariana’s face and body, but as we said, this here’s a numbers game, and when the bell rings, Ariana is the one coming away with a slight lead. The singer proudly shaking her booty, directly taunting Williams as they cross paths back to corners. Hayley shooting a look of pure defiance back at this upstart’s behaviour, nice girl image for the singer shedding itself fast.

ROUND 2:
Lo and behold, Hayley knows what she’s doing here in this fight. Ariana not showing signs of slowing down and still coming at it with flurry of activity. In comes Hayley, more used to it now, using her feet to create distance between herself and the angry bee, and then firing off more precise jabs that land hard on Ariana’s face, chest and stomach. Now, the bee is thinking twice about attacking this potentially dangerous opponent. Last minute sees Grande hanging back from what seems like frustration at not knowing how to proceed forward. In true Williams fashion, the rock singer doesn’t give chase, measured stance, knows she’s taken the round wide and wants to keep it that way. The bell rings and Ariana no longer the one doing the taunting - Hayley surprising everyone by smirking at her from corner, making the diva’s blood boil.

ROUND 3:
Round 3 and let’s see which girl can break this stalemate… girls meet in the middle, with them both eager to take the lead this round. Ariana attacking first as expected, harassing Hayley’s guard but then taking a counter-hook straight to the face!! UGGH! Hayley’s patented defensive-counter-fighting style now on full display as she works with whatever’s given to her and dishes out twice-fold. Ariana doesn’t look prepared for it one bit, with all her punches either getting blocked or parried off to the side, and leaving her open for more punches into her face in response. Pretty soon, Ariana’s looking primed for a knockout punch - she’s reeling backwards trying to cover her head from the abuse. And Hayley rushes in to finish, cocks a right hand back ready to spring forward, but MISSES as the pop singer ducks at last minute, RETURNS WITH AN UPPERCUT THAT CRASHES UP into Hayley’s chin!! OUCHH! Williams having a taste of her own medicine from that counter blow - now it’s her turn to get hounded back to her own corner with Ariana back to Zerg-mood. Williams hurt by that blow but thankfully Ariana also lacking the power to put her away with just one punch like that. Still, the Dollhouse starlet is struggling to keep her wits about her AND at the same time fend off those relentless incoming jabs. Ariana gleefully running away with points, stuffing gloves into stomach when the bell rings, but fails to put Hayley away. A nice, back-and-forth match between two girls eager to win by backing up their words.

ROUND 4:
Disaster for Hayley as it’s now her strategy getting picked apart by Ariana’s corner. Well, two can play at that game, is what Ariana must be thinking to herself as she again comes charging in to play. Hayley not doing so well with this constant bombardment - she’s trying her best to stick with defense and counter-punching, but when her own counter-punches get bobbed and weaved and ducked under by an even more agile Ariana, trouble is brewing for her indeed. Ariana scoring late in the round with a couple of stiff jabs to the chest. Rather than paralyse Williams, however, the stinging blows seem to revitalize her, her face puffing red in rage, as here she comes, charging right back, looking to punt this annoying b*tch in the mammaries herself. What follows is a wild brawl as both girls CRASH in the middle, bodies slammed into each other and taking turns slamming fists in and out. Mutual YELPs and URGGGHs from lips until the bell rings and they finally clutch at their own chests and tummies returning back to corners.

ROUND 5:
Ariana knows she has Hayley on the ropes, wants to literally put her there and then put her down this round. Surprisingly, she still has the stamina to surge forward! Probably due to all her long performances on stage as a pop princess. Here she comes, making a beeline for Williams like a ball of energy. Left-right hit the gloves and then she pulls back for a BIG right cross - MISSES though, as Hayley sidesteps that one in the nick of time. Look of horror on Grande’s face as Hayley primes herself well, WHIPS her face from one side to the other, Hayley paying her back now in close quarters. She’s DONE with the retreating and fighting from afar, choosing to punish the singer up close by sticking one glove into her face, obscuring her vision, then the other glove buried deftly into her belly repeatedly. Wild slugging continues as Ariana clinches up at the last minute, gurgling all the way from the abuse - both girls struggle with CLOSER combat, pushing at shoulder, pulling on lingerie, and panting into shoulders, before the ref decides to separate them. Bell rings and it’s clearly Williams’ round, but can she maintain the momentum, or will she succumb to her old routine of observe and get served?

ROUND 6:
Grande still showing no signs of fatigue, although her belly is painted red from the abuse as she stands from stool. Hayley looking pretty fresh and determined as well. Hey, she’s a rock star too! Williams’ corner whispering into her ear in between rounds that this is the round to go all in and attack. So she does exactly that - doesn’t wait for Grande to come to her, instead taking the fight to the pop starlet and giving her a taste of that early treatment she suffered before. Flurry of jabs irritate her face, blocking her vision, just forcing her to make mistakes anew. Not much left in Ariana’s tiny body to withstand the punishment as she’s walked across the extent of the ring, her legs soon failing her when Hayley scores more nasty shots into the tummy and chest, doublin her over on the spot in pain. Hayley goes for gold again, winds back a left hand hook and LETS LOOSE - THIS TIME IT CONNECTS straight into the face! Ariana letting out a dull groan as her body rotates along with her head, spinning off her feet and sending her CRASHING to the ground on her side. KNOCKDOWN HAYLEY!

3...4… Ariana moaning to herself on canvas, tears welling up as she spies the ropes a few feet from her but they must look like an eternity away. 

5… 6… Hayley raising a hand to acknowledge her fans in attendance, the Paramore star confident that this match is hers in the bag, and smiling to herself knowing that she’s beaten this brat of a counterpart. 

7...8… Ariana determined, to say the least, but disoriented, having finally reached the ropes and now desperately trying to haul herself up to her feet, but it’s no use… 

9… 10!! She’s still barely off her knees! It’s over!!

Official Decision: Hayley Williams defeats Ariana Grande via KO6!

AFTER:
A challenging and good fight for the resident Doll, and Hayley is back to all-smiles as she takes in the weight of her victory here tonight.

“She put up a fight, but she can’t take too much heat herself, so I was confident that I can win,” Hayley telling reporters ring side. “She has it in her to be at the top one day, especially if she adds some power to her game, but tonight….all the power was right here!” Hayley giggles as she flexes her bicep. “I’m just glad for the opportunity to fight tonight, and glad I could get some payback for my stable mate. We gotta stick up for each other. I think we both learned a lot from today. Ariana gave me a great fight, but shame on her for the sh*t she pulled earlier. Anyway, all I can say is - revenge is sweeeeet!”

Williams of course putting her words into action, after speaking to the reporter actually heading over to Ariana’s corner to give her a little piece of her mind. The diva of the Flyweight division is still looking butt-hurt however, both literally and figuratively, streaks of tears rolling down both cheeks as losing to Hayley may have distanced her from a rematch with Avril in her mind. 

“Good fight….don’t pull that sh*t on my friends again though, it’s NOT cool.” 

As Hayley is busy giving Ariana a lecture, Paige slides under the ropes and enters the ring, joining Hayley in confronting the tiny diva, the wrestler now standing in front of the much smaller Ariana, towering over her. 

“We done here? Get the f*ck outta here.” Paige instructs the disgraced diva in a threatening tone, pointing towards ring side. 

Ariana dismisses both girls’ words with a loud scoff and a shake of her head, then turns her back to them defiantly. Paige and Hayley stand there, amused, watching as Ariana storms out of the ring immediately, ignoring the reporters’ questions on the way out. Hayley is happy to be left alone to celebrate in the ring as some more of her Dollhouse friends join her to bask in her well-deserved win here tonight.

Looks like the Dolls are on a roll tonight, with 3 out of 4 matches so far going their way. We’re patiently awaiting the main event of the evening to begin, with Bella Thorne going up against Anya Taylor Joy. No matter the outcome of this last match, of course, Dollhouse management must be swelling with pride at this unbeaten win-streak. Knowing them though, they’re crossing their fingers and looking to do a clean sweep donut of tonight’s events. 

Let’s get it started, shall we?
