Tag Team Name:
Illuminaughty
Members:
Bella Downing & Katrina Lopez
Alignment:
Tweener, leaning toward face
Gimmick:
Two take no shit, have all the fun type of chicks who came together at random after one of them won a tag shot at Civil War that turned out to have a hell of a connection inside of the ring to the point they decided to keep the party rolling after their contractually owed tag title shot happened.
Entrance Music:
“Tonight” by Fozzy
Entrance Description:
The main lights drop and the arena sits in darkness for a second before “Tonight” by Fozzy hits the speakers and rainbow coloured lights begin to flash on the stage in time with the music. The big screen lights on cue with the lighting and letters appear on it in rainbow coloured lettering.
I-L-L-U-M-I-N-A-U-G-H-T-Y
As the vocals kick in, there’s one big flash of blinding white light on the stage and as that dies, Katrina Lopez and Bella Downing are standing on the stage. The two women both stand in identical poses, hands on hips and angled almost back to back, before they turn and fist bump and punch the air. With broad grins on their faces they start to jog down the ramp.
Robert E. Lee: “At a combined weight of two hundred sixty two pounds, fighting out of Orlando, Florida… the team of Katrina Lopez and Bella Downing; ILLUMINAUGHTY!”
The fans pop as the girls hit the ring. Bella hopes right up onto the apron on one knee as Katrina jogs up the steps and both women stand with their backs to the ropes to pose again before wiping their feet on the apron and climbing in the ring. They walk to the ropes on the camera side of the ring and stand on the bottom rope, leaning into the ropes as they use their hands to form a triangle and hold it out to the camera. They then bring their hands towards their faces, so the triangle frames one of their eyes before they laugh and drop down to wait for the start of the match.
Primary Finishers:
1: The Big Sleep
2: Into The Light
Primary Finishers Description:
1: Katrina and Bella whip the opponent into the ropes. As they come back, the two women use their opponent's momentum to toss them vertically up into the air and as they come back down, they hit a stereo knee to the head. Can also be done as an opponent jumps from the top as more of a desperation move to turn the tables in a match.
2: As the opponent turns around, Katrina and Bella hit a stereo superkick on them, sending them to the canvas. As they start to stir, Katrina and Bella break for the ropes on opposite sides of the ring and bounce back, hitting stereo high impact knees to the face and back of the head/left and side of their head.

Biography:
Some teams come together under shared ideals or a great pre-existing friendship or bond formed over many months or years. Not this one. Illuminaughty didn’t come together because of a bond, they didn’t have shared ideals that drew them together, it was a snap decision made when Bella Downing won ring three of Civil War 2020 and ultimately came third in the final. Bella won a future tag title match, but she wasn’t part of a tag team!
AJ Helms had offered to team with her, but he wasn’t part of the company at that point, so Bella wouldn’t even consider the idea. Instead she approached Katrina Lopez, impressed with both her physical ability and her take no shit attitude, and the rest as they say, is history. The two women quickly formed the type of bond that all good tag teams should have, travelling together, hanging out away from the ring and even moving into a shared apartment together after the two thousand twenty Draft Super Show.
They want to have fun, but they also want to be a success. And whether or not the rest of the division agree, they are coming for those belts and they will make the World Tag Division theirs… because they’re the Illuminaughty… and they run this show!
