This match wasn't supposed to happen, to say the least. What was originally a SHIMMER Title defense pitting Madison Eagles against Tessa Blanchard - a match that only happened after a beaten down Kellie Skater's title shot was stolen - ended in record time, prompting the champion to issue an open challenge. A returning Mercedes Martinez answered the call, aligning herself with Shayna Baszler and Nicole Savoy and setting up this, the main event of Volume 85.
