...With the three points for the takedown, Cejudo held on to his lead, and at the horn he dropped to his knees. The wrestler grabbed his head and looked skyward after winning the title.

Searches for the leggy blonde finalist in the show's second season weren't for her samba, waltz or cha-cha; searchers were primarily interested in finding pictures, specifically "hot pictures," of the female wrestler.
