For both women, this was their most important match. Diane Hunter, a former Intercondiminium champion was struggling back along the comeback trail after suffering a broken leg months before. Her opponent, Donna Dixxon, had become the tough-luck girl of the promotion. Despite great effort and strategic planning, Dixxon had suffered a consecutive loss streak that brought her to the brink of being reassigned to the provisional training ranks. With the influx of new talent within the promotion, a number of roster cuts are taking place. With their recent problems, both girls were targeted as candidates for the chopping block. As such, this match was designated a "loser leaves ACW match."

Dixxon started out with a sense of immediate desperation, launching herself at Hunter and maneuvering in back of her to obtain a one-armed guillotine choke-hold.
