Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler are on commentary for this match. JR mentions that the match was recently added, translating to “well, we're running 5 minutes short, who's here?” Molly Holly enters before her challenger, Ivory
MOLLY HOLLY © VS. IVORY (WWE Women's Championship)
WWE Armageddon 2003 (14th December 2003)
The bell rings and they lock up, Ivory gets Molly in a full nelson, she escapes but the challenger snapmares her down and covers for a 1 count. She trips Molly for another one count then knocks her down with a dropkick. Molly Holly uses the ropes to get to her feet but Ivory rolls her up for a nearfall, Molly Holly gets some offense with a knee to the gut and she sends Ivory into the corner, Ivory tries to float over, has Molly in a headscissors but Ivory sends her over to the apron. Ivory knocks her back with a forearm and climbs to the top rope, hitting a crossbody for a nearfall. JR and King have been talking about sexual frustration this whole match, Ivory sends Molly Holly over the top rope to the floor with a catapult and goes out to the apron, a somersault senton puts Molly down and she sends Molly back into the ring, Ivory shoulder barges Molly through the ropes but Molly hits a basement dropkick sending Ivory to the floor. Molly Holly brings it back into the ring and covers for a 2 count. A Northern lights suplex gets another nearfall and Molly keeps Ivory on the mat with a top wristlock. Ivory tries to fight to her feet, but a knee to the back stops her. She does fight out of it but is sent into the ropes, Molly Holly covers and gets 2, a vertical suplex gets the champion another nearfall so she pulls at Ivory's face. Molly Holly sends Ivory into the corner and hits the backspring elbow for a nearfall, she attacks Ivory on the mat before taking the turnbuckle pad off, Ivory blocks it and sends Molly Holly's head into the exposed turnbuckle, she rolls the champion up but Molly counters at 2 and grabs the tights (although the camera misses it) for the win.
WINNER: MOLLY HOLLY (STILL WWE Women's Champion)
I think I want to watch the David Flair match again. Everything Molly Holly did in this match looked awkward, Ivory was working pretty well around her but either Molly was doing a Norman Smiley character or just wasn't there yet. She seemed to get lucky too much and I didn't buy her as champion. The match felt like 15 minutes, not 5 DUD 0/10.
After the match, the topic of conversation is still sexual frustration before JR and King rattle off some countries watching the show tonight.
