Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: Mixed Tag Champions

Black Mask and Night Queen had begun their impromptu mixed tag team match against Keith Koa and Nova Knox.

A mixed tag team match occurs when there are two teams with an equal number of both male and female members, in this case the teams includes one male and one female. In these matches, unlike regular tag match when one member tags in the other team has to make a tag as well. In other words, only the male can fight the male and the female can only fight the other female member.

The match started with Black Mask in the ring facing Keith Koa. He started out with a running spear that put Keith flat on his back and he even covered for the count. Though Keith was able to kick out at two.

"Whoa! Black Mask looking to finish this fight quickly." Ted announced.

Keith tried to land a combination of strikes but none of them had any effect on Black Mask. Black Mask then pressed Keith over his head before dropping him onto the mat then dropping an elbow onto his head.

Black Mask continued his beat down for a while before Keith attempted to crawl to the corner to tag out. Black Mask tried to stop the tag but Keith was able to make the tag.

Black Mask returned to his corner and made the tag. However, instead of simply exiting the ring he picked her up and threw her towards her opponent and she hit Nova Knox with a drop kick to the face.

While Night Queen fought with Nova on the ring, Black Mask ran around the ring and speared Keith off the apron. Night Queen had the upper hand in her fight, but Nova was unable to tag out due to her partner being incapacitated by Black Mask.

Black Mask then hopped into the ring and grabbed Night Queen's hand. He then swung her like a club and knocked over Nova Knox. While she was down he pressed Night Queen over his head and threw her down onto her opponent.

Night Queen then went for the pin and the referee started the count.

"1!"

"2!

"3!"

"And there it is! A dominant win by the team of Black Mask and Night Queen. You can tell that they've been working together for years, they steamrolled their opponents tonight." Ted announced.

"I agree, and I think that the fans would love to see these two in more mixed tag matches from here on out." Bill responded.

The two would in fact, go on to take part in more mixed tag matches. Eventually, Black Mask would pressure the SWF executives until they agreed to add a Mixed Tag Team Championship to the organization's roster of belts.

While at first many fans and people within the organization were intrigued by this mixed tag team run of two current champions, eventually the public opinion seemed to change. As time went on it seemed that people started to feel like Black Mask was strong arming the organization too much and that this new championship belt was just an excuse to add yet another belt to the Dark Dynasty's collection.

Nonetheless, the two would eventually have a match scheduled to decide the inaugural SWF Mixed Tag Team Champions. At this point, Black Mask had gained enough influence that he made the SWF executives design the new belt to the specifications that Night Queen had requested.

Their opponents in this title match would be Ryder "Friggin" Savage and his wife Lyndsey Becks. They were both former champions in their own right and would be difficult opponents.

"Darling, don't you think the belts I designed will look good on us?" Night Queen asked as she showed Black Mask the belts.

The belts were black with a silver heart shaped plate embellished with many purple gemstones and inscribed with the title of the belt.

"They're… fine." Black Mask said indifferently. He wasn't much of a fan of the design of the belts but he also didn't care enough to make a comment about it.

The match started with Night Queen and Lindsey in the ring first. Night Queen made the first move, she ran towards Becks and went for a hurricanrana but she was blocked by Becks and fell to the ground. While she was on the ground Becks went for a stomp, but Night Queen was able to roll out of the way and counterattacked with a leg kick as she stood back up.

Becks threw some heavy strikes of her own and she actually started to get Night Queen on the defensive. Just when Night Queen was about to land a drop kick, Ryder pulled his wife out of the way. This caused Night Queen to fall to the ground and while she was down, Ryder picked up Becks and she jumped out into an elbow drop onto Night Queen and went for the cover.

In response, Black Mask dropped to the ground and placed his hands underneath the ring. Meanwhile, the referee had started the three count.

"1!"

"2!"

Black Mask then lifted the side of the ring up and the women slid out the side of the ring, thus ending the referee's count.

"Whoa! What an incredible feat of strength!" Ted announced. "I definitely didn't see that one coming."

While the two women had fallen out of the ring, Ryder Savage had moved around the ring to try to help his wife. However, Black Mask had ran around to hit Ryder with a spear that momentarily incapacitated him. He then picked Lyndsey up and put her back in the ring before lifting Night Queen over his head.

He then climbed to the top of turnbuckle and threw Night Queen into a spinning splash onto Becks. As Night Queen was making the cover, Black Mask put his foot on her back to make sure that Becks couldn't kick out.

"1!"

"2!"

"3!"

"And there it is! Black Mask and Night Queen have won the first ever SWF Mixed Tag Team Championship! What a dominant performance that was and there's another belt in the collection of the Dark Dynasty!" Ted announced. "How many more titles can they walk away with?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't seem like they're going to be stopping anytime soon." Bill replied.

Indeed, the Dark Dynasty did continue to dominate the SWF and collected title after title. However, the more they won, the more and more they started to use underhanded or dirty tactics to ensure that they remained unbeaten. This started to significantly reduce their popularity with the fans.
