For Miranda Alexander and Niki Foxe this match would help to determine whether either would ensure herself of grabbing a spot on the Apartment Championship Wrestling roster. In June 2001 both women were signed to the promotion but a series of events brought into question whether they would ever wrestler with ACW. After a bit of legal wrangling, the two former Nite Fighters were brought into the promotion on a provisional basis. It was determined by the ACW executive staff that one spot would be set aside and that whichever of the two distinguished herself the most would be rewarded with a full-time contract.

Niki began the match on the offensive, combining a Russian sickle and a back-breaker (pulling Miranda’s hair for good measure). Niki (the more aggressive of the two) seemed to want to end the match early rather than endure a prolonged match against her larger, stronger foe.

Foxe continued to work on Alexander’s weakened back, stomping with her foot on Miranda’s outer oblique muscles which maintaining a wristlock hold to control the tempo and restrict Miranda’s movements. She continued her assault by pulling on Miranda’s arm, straining the tendons in her shoulder.

Alternating between the pressure between Alexander’s back and shoulder, Foxe seemed intent on wearing down her opponent, tiring her out and diminishing her ability to resist a submission hold.

Releasing her hold on Alexander, Foxe instead moved behind Miranda, who at this point collapsed to the floor, unable to do anything but gasp for her breath. Foxe quickly maneuvered her opponent into a hold that resembled an upside down surfboard hold. Pulling back on Alexander’s arms, Niki resumed the pressure on Miranda’s arm and back while also painfully bending her knees.

Enduring enormous pain, Alexander refused to quit, but knew that she was not going to be able to escape and would instead have to wait for Foxe to get careless and make a mistake.
