After years of working to get to this point, Donna Dixxon wondered whether she was truly prepared for the moment. She spent months focusing, dedicating and disciplining herself and now the moment she had waited for had finally come – a title shot against ACW Champion 00Heaven.

Dixxon had longed suffered through an up and down career, labeled with the unflattering tag of being a “non-finisher.” In several matches in which she was dominating, Dixxon failed to secure the win and her title hopes seemed to be fleeting. She was able, however, to begin turning things around, putting together a string of six victories, including one over Dixie Monroe. As the title match approached, self-doubt crept into her mind. This would certainly be the defining moment in her career.

Dixxon went on the offensive. She first applied an anklelock, hoping to gain an early submission. When none came, she kept applying the hold, causing the champion to yell in pain. The more she yelled, the more pressure Dixxon applied. Finally, she released the hold, leaving the champion in a fallen heap.

Before Heaven could catch her breath, Dixxon was on her. Sensing that she might not get another chance, she attempted to keep the champion off-balance, working on one body part and then another. Each time Heaven would attempt to gain a moments rest, Donna would hammer her with a shot to the ribs or an elbow to the back. The champion seemed unable to gain her bearings, leaving herself exposed for more punishment.

As her strategy appeared to be paying off, Dixxon saw the championship within her grasp. Thoughts and emotions began flooding her mind and she began smiling, enjoying herself.
