A New Storm Women’s Champion?
In the penultimate match of IWRA Reckoning, the highly anticipated showdown between Lori Jordan and TNT for the Storm Women’s Championship finally took place. This was more than just a rematch — it was the culmination of a bitter feud that began after their last controversial encounter, where both women were counted out, but Lori Jordan managed to pin TNT after the official match ended.
Despite Lori’s pin, IWRA officials, led by Ted Richards (before he was put into a coma after a brutal attack), ruled that the pin didn’t count, allowing TNT to retain her title. However, to pacify Lori’s demands, Ted offered her a rematch at Reckoning, and TNT, the longest-reigning Storm Women’s Champion, accepted the challenge.
The Intensity Begins
As the bell rang, the atmosphere in the arena was electric. Both Lori Jordan and TNT stepped into the ring with undeniable intensity, knowing the stakes couldn’t be higher. From the outset, TNT took the early advantage, landing the first few powerful hits on Lori. As one of the most dominant champions in IWRA history, TNT was determined to prove why she held the Storm Women’s title for so long.
Equal Strengths, Relentless Action
However, Lori Jordan quickly showed that she was not to be underestimated. Known for her explosive speed and agility, she began to counter TNT’s strikes with a flurry of her own, using her quick reflexes to dodge and retaliate. The two women traded control of the match back and forth, both proving to be of nearly equal skill. Neither was willing to back down, exchanging a relentless barrage of attacks, with TNT utilizing her raw power while Lori relied on her speed and technical prowess.
Lori Takes Control
As the match wore on, it became clear that Lori Jordan’s tenacity was starting to give her the edge. She began to wear TNT down with a series of high-flying maneuvers, including a stunning leap from the top rope that brought the crowd to its feet. Each time TNT tried to gain momentum, Lori cut her off, refusing to let the champion recover.
It was Lori’s sheer force of will and athleticism that began to turn the tide. Her relentless offense kept TNT on the defensive, and for the first time in the match, the champion seemed to be struggling to keep up with Lori’s speed.
Final Moments
In the final, heart-stopping moments of the match, Lori Jordan seized control and set up her finishing move — Lights Out. In an impressive display of strength and precision, Lori lifted TNT over her head and brought her crashing down, immediately locking in a devastating chokehold from behind. TNT, despite her resilience, couldn’t escape Lori’s grip. The audience watched in awe as the Storm Women’s Champion struggled to break free, but Lori’s hold was too tight.
TNT, gasping for breath, had no choice but to tap out, marking the end of her reign as Storm Women’s Champion.
