Camila Cabello versus Normani Kordei

 (Words: Empire / Results: Lookout!

A marquee matchup between chart topping songstresses. Rumors have been swirling about Camila's future as many have been openly questioning her heart in and out of the ring, likening her to Carrie Prejean and her hated rival Ariana Grande. Normani is looking for her second win, largely inactive in the last year as she’s been focusing on her singing career. Both girls decline to conduct pre-fight interviews, perhaps out of mutual respect or potentially disdain after the dissolution of fifth harmony.

Camila comes out first escorted by Jaime Pressly, she disrobes to reveal a scarlet red bikini, matching gloves and boots, long brown locks tied back in a pair of pigtails. Normani out next escorted by Cabello rival Ariana Grande, Camila's eyes bulge out of her face as she stares on, mouth dropping wide open as Normani disrobes. Kordei is in tremendous shape as the crowd oohs, ahhs, barely contained by a baby blue bikini. The songstress opts for gloves and boots of the same colour, hair tied back into a long braid.

R1: Camila feints the jab as Normani covers up stooping forward as she turns to her left, Cabello capitalises on her rookie error, double tapping a pair of hooks to Kordei's breasts and winning a grimace from her foe, Camila smirking, leaning back, hands stacked at her chin as Normani suddenly Lacey leaps out of the crouch and swivels Camila's head with a brutal right! Cabello hurt, staggering backwards as she seeks to shake off the cobwebs, Kordei in pursuit, slamming a right into Camila's belly and sending her into the ropes as she desperately tries to keep her foe on the end of her jab, Normani easily ducks beneath her offerings and slams a flurry off her raised mitts, Camila gritting her teeth, firming along the apron as they exchange shoveling hooks to opposing bellies and breasts, bumping and twisting along the ropes, in the final ten seconds Normani takes over, superior power a real factor here as Cabello is frozen against the cables after a brutal one two turns her abs into jelly. Camila in agony, turning to her left and taking a knee just after the bell. Normani raises her right mitt as the crowd cheers for the brawny young rookie. Cabello crestfallen, holding back tears as she returns to the Empire corner.

R2: Normani confidently working her way forward, willing to box with her foe, feeding her jabs followed by ripping hooks to the ribs as she herds her Latina to the ropes, slamming a right uppercut off her mitts followed by another that slaps her head upright, going back to the belly with a trio of sharp jabs, Camila snarling behind her mitts, fighting back tears as she fights back desperately with her back on the ropes. Suddenly Normani cries out, covering her face with her mitts and turning to her left, Cabello managed to somehow open a gash just above her right eye. Camila refuses to give her foe even a moment of rest, slapping hooks off toned flanks before pelting Normani's breasts. Kordei open-mouthed, stunned as she cowers behind her mitts, in trouble for the first time in her career, miraculously snaring her foes incoming right and pulling her in for a clinch, holding on desperately until the bell.

R3: Both fighters show signs of being hurt but showing tremendous heart as they begin the third. Normani's eyes showing wear, right eye nearly swollen shut, Camila's abs covered in red and pink tiger stripes of pain. Still, the two drag themselves mid-ring and exchange with a sense of urgency, each trying to take the other out before they fall victim to exhaustion. Normani strikes first with a brutal hook that slips behind Cabello's guard and drops her to the canvas! Camila shaking her head, rising at eight as Normani wades in. Cabello covering up, absorbing a brutal shelling, somehow evading Normani's finishing flurry and countering with a left jab into her battered eye, Normani cries out and pulls her guard close to her eyes leaving her body exposed, Cabello eagerly helping herself to Normani's chiselled body, ripping into her belly and heaving breasts with vigour, Kordei attempts to clinch, but Camila keeps feigning the high jab to force her back and herds her into the neutral corner, this is a complete reversal of the second as Cabello flails away at her foe, slapping a right hook off Normani's belly button to fold her forward, another right to her breasts, and a follow up left to her other eye. Kordei exhausted, taking a knee at the two minute mark, forcing a snarling Camila back, Latina hollering at the ref hits the count of nine, raising her mitts as Normani slowly rises. Cabello swearing as the ref calls her back in, both girls punch drunk but eager to end it as they meet mid-ring, dropping their mitts cheek high as they furiously slug away, Normani takes control after a brutal left uppercut, herding her girl to the ropes, barely missing with an overhand right, as Camila lands a picture perfect left on the chin that freezes Kordei in place, Normani spaghetti-legged, eyes fluttering as Cabello wades in, pouring on the hurt as she bodies up to her girl, struggling a bit as she gets her arms beneath her foes and stacks her against the ropes, stuffing hateful hooks into her body as Normani cries out, shoving her arms away as she seeks to clinch, staying on her body as Kordei staggers to her right, Cabello seething, chest heaving as she pursues her girl, blasting her head back with a pair of hooks, Normani's mitts drop to her breasts, head buried in her chest as Camila slams a right uppercut into her her foes chin sending a sheet of sweat flying across the ring! The ref doesn't bother to count KO 3 Camila Cabello!

Camila badly scuffed up but upbeat in post fight interviews, offering Normani another go in a few months and praising her power, and calling out Ariana Grande just as Ava Max stands up in the third row and enters the ring. Officials storm the ring just as Ava slaps Camila across the face, Cabello snatched by the officials just before she can return the favour as her new GM looks on. Both girls are ready to go and it seems that they'll be tangling in the near future as well
