Grudge Match is an episode of season 3 of Justice League Unlimited. It premiered on March 11, 2006.
Synopsis for "Grudge Match"
Meta-Brawl entrepreneur Roulette finds herself disappointed that her latest staged matches aren't earning enough money to even pay the rent in where she's now staging them, so she turns to Lex Luthor for some financial help. Luthor, himself strapped for cash, gives Roulette an idea in the form of staging all-female Meta-Brawl matches that she named the Glamor Slam, but it wouldn't feature any of Luthor's female members from his Secret Society, as he hints.
Huntress, who notices that Black Canary gets easily taken down by a pickpocket, follows her into the city of Blüdhaven, where she enters a secret arena to fight against her fellow Justice League member Fire. Huntress watches the whole thing in her civilian identity as Helena Bertinelli, then tries to confront Black Canary alone to ask why she's fighting Fire. Black Canary only answers Huntress with her fists until her Justice League communicator falls out of her ear and gets crushed. Black Canary acts as if she just snapped out of a trance, but only long enough for Huntress to knock her out. Soon both heroines are captured and placed in a cell together, where they both discover that Roulette is using the Justice League communicators to brainwash the female members into fighting each other.
Huntress and Black Canary are soon brought into the fighting arena, where they must fight together against Hawkgirl and Vixen. As the battle is engaged, both heroines are successful in removing the Justice League communicators from both Vixen's and Hawkgirl's ears. But the fun isn't over yet: Roulette announces a new star attraction to the mix -- Wonder Woman. As Vixen and Hawkgirl try to survive against wrestling with the Amazon Princess, Huntress and Black Canary break out of the arena and make their way into Roulette's control room, where they force her and Sonar to break the brainwashing signal. Soon, just as Wonder Woman is about to smash her fellow Justice League member's faces in, she stops and calmly tells them both they have some explaining to do.
As the female Justice League members help each other outside, Huntress is re-offered team membership, but she turns it down, saying she prefers working independently. She does, however, offer Black Canary a two-out-of-three-falls match to work out their anger issues with each other, which she accepts.
