Following their huge win at <em><strong>Shine 52<\/strong><\/em>, <strong>Thunder Rosa<\/strong> and <strong>Holidead<\/strong> will have their first title defense. They will take on one of the teams that they bested, the <strong>Cutie Pie Club.<\/strong> <strong>Kiera Hogan<\/strong> and <strong>Dementia D\u2019Rose<\/strong> want another chance to bring more Shine gold to the Cutie Pie Club. Candy Cartwright will probably not be far from her stablemates, even though she\u2019ll be busy herself.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Shine Championship Tournament \u2013 First Round Matches<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Candy Cartwright (Shine Nova Champion) vs. Ivelisse<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Will Candy Cartwright Become A Double Champion On Sept 8th!?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OP9a42tLP2o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the Shine Nova Champion, she is set to face off against Ivelisse. Ivelisse is a 2x former Shine Champion and a former Shine Tag Team Champion. The impertinent Ms. Cartwright claims to not be intimidated or afraid of her veteran opponent. Whether or not that is the case remains to be seen. Ivelisse is determined to become a three-time Shine Champion; while Candy would like to become a double champion. If either woman is successful in winning the tournament, each would be the first in Shine history.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mercedes Martinez vs. Stormie Lee<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ivelisse\u2019s tag team partner, Mercedes Martinez also enters the mix. A two-time SHIMMER Champion and a former Shine Tag Team Champion, she looks to add yet another title to her long resume. Stormie Lee, on the other hand, is still on the hunt for the first championship of her career. Both ladies are coming off losses at <em>Shine 52<\/em>, so they are hungry to taste victory again.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Santana Garrett vs. Priscilla Kelly<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SHINE Nova Champion Priscilla Kelly Has A Unique Perspective On Her #SHINE46 Challenger Santana...\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s_Gxuy0Hu1g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The rivalry between Santana and Priscilla goes back to <em>Shine 46<\/em>. There they warred over the Shine Nova Championship. At <em>Shine 51<\/em>, Santana challenged again for the Shine Nova Championship. Kiera Hogan and Dementia D\u2019Rose came out near the end of this match to help their leader, Candy, only to have that blow up in their face. The referee was distracted, and Kiera cleaned Candy\u2019s clock with the belt.<\/p>\n<p>Priscilla Kelly emerged from the back to even the odds against the Cutie Pie Club. However, she was caught by the referee, holding the belt over a fallen Candy. This caused Santana to be disqualified and Candy Cartwright to retain her title. Santana and Priscilla brawled over this misunderstanding. The Shine locker room and officials attempted to keep the warring women apart. It was to no avail, as they continued to try and get to one another. This gave officials no choice but to suspend both Santana and Priscilla for <em>Shine 52<\/em>. Now the renewed rivals must go through each other en route to the Shine Championship.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Brandi Lauren vs. Allysin Kay<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Will Brandi Lauren Become The Classiest SHINE Champion at SHINE 53!?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ABfUqos2LyU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is Allysin Kay (aka Sienna)\u2019s return to Shine following a lengthy absence due to health problems. Brandi Lauren is an up and comer in Shine, who has lost to Allysin in the past. At <em>Shine 43<\/em> Allysin, under the pseudonym of Maria Maria, beat Brandi, Daisy, Natalia Markova and Dementia D\u2019Rose. This match was to determine the number one contender to the Shine Championship. Brandi has never forgotten this, and now Allysin Kay stands in her way once again. She vows to not let AK derail her title hopes and to become the classiest champion in Shine history.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AK Don&#039;t Play Brandi Lauren And Anyone Else In Her Path Towards The SHINE Championship!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B5NdEraCwis?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>AK, as she will tell you, don\u2019t play.
