After a convincing and impressive victory over top contender Barbie Mayfield, Daniella Cartier emerged as the top contender for the ACW title belt - a title recently held up when ACW Champion Heaven was suspended by the promotion. In anticipation of being awarded the vacated title, Daniella looked to put on another impressive showing in her next match. The match, however, was noteworthy in that her opponent was Barbie's cousin, Amber Mayfield.
For Amber Mayfield, it would be a big challenge in her first match and she had a lot riding on it. In addition to it being her first match as an ACW competitor, Mayfield sought revenge for the Cartier's victory over her cousin.
Mayfield started out on the offensive, hoping to surprise Daniella. After knocking Cartier to the ground, Amber attempted to show her toughness, circling around her opponent and viciously smacking her on her legs and rear end.
As Daniella reached back to block the blows she was receiving, Mayfield stepped forward, pulling Cartier's arms painfully against her feet, bending the taller girl's knees and forcing her to remain prone. As Cartier screamed in pain, Mayfield was unsure whether to maintain her hold or to maneuver strategically for a better finishing hold.
Expecting Mayfield to sit back in the hold, Cartier began to panic, realizing she had quickly fallen into a hold that she might not be able to reverse. Mayfield, however, failed to realize how fortunate she had been and close she was to history. Doubting herself, she attempted to switch holds and momentarily released one of Cartier's arms.
She would regret the mistake.
