This was part of the CHICKFIGHT tournament.
Not a great match exactly, but a ton of fun.
Savoy is still pretty new and isn’t as great as she’ll get around 2017 or so, but there’s undeniably a lot of potential. Her movement is already great, her offense is smooth, but she’s just young still. Some awkward attempts at filling space in control, but then also this is only seven minutes as part of a one night tournament and it’s all a little rushed as a result. Candice is similarly great here. No longer the best babyface in the world (as Bayley has hit her stride and Mike Bailey as well), Candice is still on a short list and a match like this shows why. Her offense is all cool, relatively crisp, and it’s this super likeable performance putting over the local newcomer. Nothing complex or all that enticing, but a steady and consistent performance, which is always real impressive.
Savoy hits a really good looking Tiger Suplex on Candice for the moderate upset.
This match has happened a few more times, most notable as a six minute Mae Young Classic match in 2017. Unfortunately, it’s never quite been the match that it feels like it should have been. Savoy is still pretty inexperienced here, they didn’t get the time right later on, whatever else. One hopes the window isn’t entirely closed, because it really seemed like there was something here.
