Ring Names: Katrina Cage and Sammi Belmont
Alignment: Face
Gimmick: A couple of video game and anime fanatics who love wrestling almost as much as they love having a controller in their hands. They commonly use video game and anime references in their segments as well as their finishers and signatures. In addition, they also tend to perform harmlessly troll the rest of the roster, using video games and anime as a theme for their antics.

Entrance Description: Will & Tim's "Song of Storms" fills the arena. At first, it's just the sound of the nostalgic music until the dubstep beat drops. At that point, the lighting of the arena takes on a deep blue hue with other colors flashing around the stage and ramp. Katrina Cage comes running out onto the stage, stopping to take in the view of the fans with one hand above her eyes as she leans forward. Finally, she starts to approach the ring, then as Roger Arden announces.
"Making her way to the ring! From San Antonio, Texas! She is the 8-bit Princess; KATRINA...CAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!"
Katrina climbs up onto the apron, performing a split as she slides into the ring and performs a handstand flip, landing on her feet and pops up in the center of the ring. She runs to one corner, climbing up to acknowledge the crowd before hopping down to the mat, removing her glasses and t-shirt as she waits in her corner.

Independent Circuit Debut: June 6th, 2013
Professional Wrestling Debut: October 7th, 2016
Finishers:
- 7th Heaven
Signature Moves:
- Crotch Punch
(As a reference to Mortal Kombat's Johnny Cage, Katrina drops into a split. Rather than strike her opponent in the crotch, thus disqualifying herself, she does the vintage MKII taunt used for Johnny Cage against female opponents. She then hits them with a stiff chop to the face.)
- Rage Quit
(Often used as a setup for the 7th Heaven)
Common Moves:
Hurricanrana
Baseball Slide
Some DDT variations (Normal, running, snap, swinging)
Bronco Buster
Running Face Wash
Slingblade
Moonsault
In-ring Strengths: Flexible and versatile in the ring. It can be difficult to inflict pain on her with certain submission moves unless extra torque is applied.
In-ring Flaws: Katrina is a stickler for following rules which can lead to her arguing with the referee if she thinks they are being too lenient or not attentive enough.
Wrestling Style: Well rounded wrestling with technical holds and strikes. She's not a powerhouse in any means but can pull off bursts of strength to a certain extent such as being able to perform 7th Heaven even when she's seemingly on empty.
Wrestling Attire: Matching sports bra and tight shorts with transparent nylons over her legs. The shorts and bra are both black on one side while the other side is designed to look like a colored cyber grid with digital coding inside. The coloring of the grid changes and rarely is the same color ever done back to back on broadcasts. The grid pattern and solid black are separated by a jagged white line with a white controller design appearing on the black part of the shorts in the front with the cord running into the grid pattern. On her bra garment, the black has a white circle with the color grid pattern and her initials K.C in white. With this, she wears black boots with kickpads that stop beneath the knee. The kickpads are decorated with large lightning bolts going down the center, colored in with the same grid pattern on the rest of her outfit. Black fingerless gloves are worn over her hands.
For her entrance gear, Katrina wears various video game shirts and thick, black framed "nerd" glasses with the lenses popped out.
Sammi Belmont

Nickname(s): N/A
Birthdate: June 1st, 1998Height: 5'3"
Weight: 115lbs
Hometown: Blackpool, Lancashire, England
Current Residence: Los Angeles, California
Entrance Theme: "Pokemon" by Jonathon Young
Entrance Description: The arena goes dark. During the opening of the song, the video wall comes to life with the final moments of a Super Smash Bros round that coincides with the opening voice. As the voice congratulates the player, the camera quickly pans out to show a back view of Sammi at the controller, taking up the left side of the screen. She quickly sets the controller down, turns to face the camera and raises up the deuces. The shot freezes as the dubstep beat starts to kick in and a pink filter covers the screen with her name in large, white letters popping up next to her on the screen: SAMMI BELMONT
Colored lights began to flash and pulse with the bass beat of the song. At the 0:37 mark, pyro goes off with a single burst on the stage and Sammi Belmont is launched from beneath the stage, landing in a stylish crouch. Roger Arden announces:
"About to make her way to the ring: from Blackpool, Lancashire, England! SAMMIIIIIIIIII BELMOOOOOOOOOOONT!!!"
Looking up at the crowd with her flight goggles over her eyes, she smiles, rocking her head with her music as she stands and starts making her way down the ramp, happily greeting the audience with high fives and fist bumps. Sammi runs up onto the apron and climbs the turnbuckle. She dabs and moonsaults off of the turnbuckle, landing with a nod of self approval as she moves to her corner and starts removing her gear.

In-ring Strengths: Fast and slippery. Can essentially run circles around slower opponents.
In-ring Flaws: Sammi is the less experienced of the two and can get a little cocky once she gets on a roll. This can lead to her making mistakes or being caught off guard by more experienced opponents.
Wrestling Style: Fast paced, high flyer. Known to make "hail mary" jumps out of the ring or off the stage onto opponents.
Wrestling Attire: Her attire always matches that of Katrina's with the exception of the colorful cyber grid pattern is on the opposite side on her outfit that Katrina's is and she has her own initials, SB, inside the circle on her bra top. The grid's color is also notable a shade or two darker than Katrina's. As her entrance attire, she wears various, off the shoulder, video game t-shirts along with backwards cap with varying video game logos and custom made flight goggles. There's also her jacket with built in lights to increase the cyber-gaming vibe of her entrance.

Entrance Theme: "Pretty Handsome Awkward" by The Used

GAME START!
"KICKIN' IT OUT!!"
As the opening lyrics rip throughout the arena, a shot of DragonBall Z's Goku throws a Kamehameha at the viwers and the entryway lights up with multicolored lights and the video wall switches to a highlight reel that goes back and forth between clips of various video gameplay and anime footage. Everything from Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Skyrim, Mario, Golden Axe, Grand Theft Auto, Battletoads gameplay to action clips of DBZ, Elfen Lied, Ninja Scroll, Hellsing etc -- and then footage of Kat Cage and Sammi Belmont in previous matches hitting their big spots from their arsenals.
As this goes on, The Skillz Vendorz come running and jumping out from the curtain. More specifically, Katrina Cage runs out first, followed by Sammi Belmont. Katrina does a silly, playful bow to the audience and as she does, Sammi Belmont runs and leapfrogs over her. She lands and spins, full of energy, yelling to the crowd. Her and Kat come to stand side by side. They nod to each other with big smiles and mimic the DragonBall Fusion Dance pose. Multicolored pyro goes off on the stage and the two start down the ramp.
Your dream vacation
Small hostage refuge
A work in progress
You bleed just like you puke while running a mile
I beg to differ
Make me an offer
Warm summer rain
You bleed just like you puke while running a mile
Kat Cage and Sammi Belmont come down the aisle, each taking a side where they happily high five and slap hands of fans in the front row. At the end of the ramp, they come together where Kat climbs up to the apron and gets into the ring. She climbs the turnbuckle as Sammi gets a running start along the side of the ring and athletically jumps up onto the apron to the parallel turnbuckle. Sammi grabs the ropes and hops over, skillfully landing on the middle turnbuckle where her and Kat repeat the Fusion Dance pose. As they do, spotlights shine down on them both.
Hey, are you okay?
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward
Do you feel okay?
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward
Both girls then climb down from the turnbuckles and meet in their corner, high fiving, fist bumping, dapping one another before removing their entrance gear and waiting for the match to start.

This was how she met Sammi, another independent wrestler over in the United Kingdom who had just gotten started. Still living with her parents, Sammi was using her income to help support her family. Chatting it up over a session of Gears of War, the two girls sparked one of those instant online friendships that turned into the formation of their own clan: Skillz Vendorz. The name was a play off of guild that Katrina was an officer of in an MMO where the members used to troll other players. Consequently, Katrina and Sammi tended to enjoy mercilessly trolling the opposing team members.
Time went on and Sammi Roberts received, what she saw as, a possible big break in her wrestling career: a promotion owner from the United States had come across some YouTube videos that captured her work in the ring and wanted to sign her to his company; distance be damned. As it turned out, this promotion happened to be the San Antonio Wrestling Alliance (SAWA), a Texas based developmental territory for New Frontier Wrestling. As an even bigger coincidence: this same promotion had recently extended an offer to Katrina Tavarez. When the two online friends realized that they had the chance to actually work together, Katrina devised a plan and pitched the idea of she and Sammi Roberts working as a tag team. Sammi had potential but was still relatively green. As a tag unit, Katrina could help polish her younger friend's rough edges.
On October 7th, 2016, Katrina Tavarez and Samantha Roberts broke into SAWA as Katrina Cage and Sammi Belmont - the Skillz Vendorz, playing up their obsession with video games into their gimmick. Mixing Kat's well rounded technique with Sammi's high flying, they became an instant hit, known as fun loving pranksters who could more than hold their own in the ring. After two years of working the grind and earning their place among developmental, and with NFW looking to expand their Women's Tag Team Division, Kat and Sammi have received their call up, courtesy of Women's Division General Manager, Savannah Hayes. They made their debut together and soon became a trio, adding Mary Kennedy as a third member. There, they feuded with teams such as SBS and Bloody Fairytale (f.k.a Fire & Ice). They have since fallen to the back burner so to speak but are always looking to show their capability as they seek to expand their horizons.
