Sophia Wolfe Vs Brynhild Ederne
Match: Standard - Apex Qualifier
Victory Conditions: Pinfall, Submission, Knockout, Count out or DQ

The crowd rose to their feet for another electrifying match that was about to start. The signal came when Sophia Wolfe's music hit the PA system at near deafening volume, as celebrations began for the experienced wrestler who continued to have a thunderous impact on LAW since being acquired from the now defunct Full Metal Wrestling Federation. The crowd were on their feet knowing it was another Apex Qualifier match, having already been treated to so many classics and with the finals coming so close. So far into Sophia's entrance music, smoke began to billow and pour upwards from the entrance ramp, concealing any view of anything, whilst the crowd continued to chant for the fan favourite. Soon enough however, it began to clear away.

Once it cleared, Sophia Wolfe was present in the centre of the top of the entrance ramp, kneeling down in a near meditation like manner. She remained on her knees for a moment as the crowd began to roar out their support and stamp their feet for the superstar. For now her eyes closed, finding calm despite the riot of approval beyond her. Sophia was clad in her black unique Gi outfit with the top loose and draped behind her from around her waist. She was clad in her newer attire, wearing a purple and black designed sports bra like top with that left her entire midriff bare, revealing her well-tuned body and alluring figure. She was barefoot, with wrist straps around her forearms, an appearance that no doubt marked she was here to stay in LAW and had new colours to represent it.

Slowly she stood up, making a disciplined motion from her training before making a few air strikes with her fists and with vicious looking kicks. Fireworks began to pop as she did so in unison to her movements, making for quite the display which only got the crowd pumped up all the more. Soon enough the German beauty began to walk towards the ring, adjusting her wrist straps on the way. Despite being a fan favourite, Sophia did not give the crowd all that much attention. She was not good at it, but the fans were aware of that by now, knowing very well that she let her skill and prowess do the talking for her. The fans loved how she wrestled and she was now a very serious presence in the LAW.

Sophia entered the ring, climbing through the ropes as the crowd continued to chant her name, keeping an eye towards the ramp where she knew her opponent for tonight would soon be entering from. Sophia had made short work of most of her opposition, but had come to be tested various times by fellow established wrestlers. She knew this one however would be a true test... Brynhild was the real deal. Sophia began to pace around the ring a little, looking towards where she hoped Thereisa would be ringside. She had asked her idol to come and watch the match tonight, knowing it would be an important one for helping Sophia qualify. However, she noticed the seat Thereisa was supposed to be in was empty. Sophia's expression remained stoic, perhaps it was merely a case that she was running late.

Such thoughts were cast aside quickly when the entrance music of her opponent began to hit the PA system at high volume... All attention turned back towards the ramp... as it was time for Brynhild Ederne to make her appearance!

Sophia frowned at Brynhild, seeing the longing look the taller and more broadly built woman had within her eyes. The German beauty could feel the taller blonde drinking in her appearance, before she declared her intentions loud enough for Sophia to hear. Sophia rolled her shoulders to loosen herself up, before she took a fighting stance, ready for her opponent. She would not be intimidated by her, and remained focused, wearing a stoic expression as always.
"You will not find me so tranquil as other opposition you may have faced. Nor will you easily be able to keep up with me." Sophia declared with confidence. She knew very well however that she was up against the real deal this time. Brynhild was one of the most dangerous wrestlers in all of LAW, having took on and taken down the best the federation had to offer.

Sophia Wolfe herself after picking up a massive win streak was considered to be amongst the top brass of the federation herself in terms of wrestling ability, and thus this match was expected to be a close fought battle. The difference was clear between the wrestler’s styles from first look. Brynhild was an impressive woman in shape and build, possessing great power. Despite pushing 50, she showed no signs of slowing down, and looked younger than her age, still gifted with an impressive athletic and strong build. Her form was considerably exposed, revealing strong muscle from a fine tuned training regime. No doubt Brynhild was indeed capable of crushing Sophia if she so desired as she had declared... but she would have to get her hands upon Sophia first.

Sophia herself was more slender, well defined and a marvel to behold. Given her smaller frame she would be relying on her agility and speed, as well as her deceptively powerful strikes. A jack of all trades, Sophia had it all, capable of grappling with the best of them, and she was already known to be a giant killer after her impressive matchup against Alcina. This was sure to be a good match, and since the qualifier was announced, it had been hotly anticipated, with many wondering why such a match was not reserved for a PPV Main Card. Still, the fight was here now, and the fans were chanting to near deafening volumes, eager to see the two superstars clash.

Soon enough, the bell began to echo out, signalling the beginning. Despite the unnerving looks Brynhild gave over Sophia's alluring form, the former Full Metal Wrestling Champion was not deterred, remaining focused. It was than she began to move in once the referee signalled for the match to begin. Sophia remained cautious upon approach, testing Brynhild and her reach a little, before she looked to try and test her with a stiff body kick towards her exposed midriff... testing to see how fast Brynhild could move and what she was up against.

[The Riders]

Licking her lips at the tasty-looking meal in front of her... Brynhild can't help but think that she is getting a reward by taking on the smaller woman in front of her, and she has kept a close eye on the smaller woman in front of her.

Oh yes, she knows all about the former wild Wolfe and her battles in the company and in her former company as well, as she made sure to pay attention to whatever the younger woman did and who she faced so that she could be prepared for when she made the offer to take her on in a match... and that waiting has paid off for her in a big way.

Hearing the smaller woman challenge brings a chuckle to her as if she is dealing with some wanna-be wrestler, but eager to put Sophia back down to earth 'Oh You think beating the vampire mommy was some big deal don't you?. Well let me bust your little bubble... You're not a giant killer your just a scared little pup who decided to get some cyber defense on you to make yourself look good, but in front of me your nothing more then a scared little girl who is about to be broken in front of everyone.' she taunts as she hears the bell rings and comes out wanting to see if Sophia is going to make the first move or try to fight her at a distance.

As Brynhild would watch and wait for the perfect time to strike the younger woman, but for now she waits as her opponent slams a kick right to her mid-section that doesn't even make her move or take a step back at all.

Sophia's kick clashed deep into the side of Brynhild, who alarmingly made no effort to try and defend or even evade the oncoming attack. Sophia's strike connected well, her shin clashing against Brynhild's core with meticulousness. The crowd gasped out as the impact could be heard, yet Brynhild managed to tank the strike. Sophia's brow frowned a little more... for certain she did not throw full power, but even a held back strike from the Wolfe was dangerous. She felt her strike clash against rock hard abs, but Brynhild did not so much as grunt. Sophia knew now she would not be able to hold back against this one... and given her clear toughness she would also have to fight smart.

"I take each match as it comes. What you speak of are merely words and fabrications of your own... I have no reason to fear you." Sophia would declare, her expression as stoic as ever, giving her a look of confidence. Sophia was no fool, she was aware of Brynhild's power, but she would be damned before she let her get into her head. Brynhild had fought defeated many amongst the best that LAW had to offer, a wrestler of Championship material without a shadow of a doubt... but Sophia was considered to be in the same ilk, and she intended to show Brynhild just as much. Pulling her leg back from the strike Brynhild allowed her to land, Sophia would strike next with careful precision.

With a deft spin, she would attempt to throw a second kick, but positioned herself in such a way that her strike would aim towards the back of Brynhilds knee and with more power. It would force the heavyweight to drop to one knee if she did not react in time, and it was Sophia's intent to try and follow up with a customised Enziguri towards the temple of Brynhild, showing off her deftness and athleticism... in the back of Sophia's mind though, she had longed to see Thereisa in the crowd supporting her...

[The Riders]

Brynhild could tank moves from most of the roster in the company; she was one of the strongest women and the toughest one that even some heavyweights tried to avoid due to her strength and brute skill when it came to crushing an opponent or slamming them around with ease. Even her bloody battle with Alaina showed off how much it took out of the woman to just keep her down for good, but someone like Sophia who is just as strong when it comes to grabbing and striking is something the big woman is not a fan of.

Seeing the smaller woman come forward and appear to be about to do another kick strike to the same part of her body, but this time Sophia's kick lands on the back of her knee, causing her to stumble forward and glare at her opponent, who was able to bring her to a knee with a simple kick.

But before she could get back to her feet, Sophia's other foot would come flying in and slam right into the side of her head with an Enziguril, knocking the big woman onto her back and stunning Brynhild, who had. a look of anger at being taken down by the smaller woman in front of her,

[thesteedman]

The crowd naturally cheered when Sophia began to display her skill and flash in the ring, especially against someone as formidable as Brynhild Ederne. There was a concern that the weight difference would put Sophia at a significant disadvantage, and whilst that still probably rang true in a sense of raw power, Sophia was fighting intelligently. The moment she went toe to toe in a grapple with Brynhild would be when problems started, so the solution was to keep her out of reach, stick and move, hit and run and wear her down.

Despite how well her strike connected, Sophia was aware of Brynhilds extreme toughness. This was a woman who was at the top of her game and took on the giants of LAW and won... A mere kick was not going to keep her down. Still, there was certainly a sense of relief to witness Brynhild getting dropped first by the alluring German. It was an indication that Brynhild could be felled, and thus could be beaten. After her flip kick, Sophia was quick to kick up to her feet, once again showing her deftness when she was allowed to move at her own preferred pace. For all her straight forward attitude and stern looks, Sophia actually liked to impress the fans. What she lacked in skills on the mic, she made up for with flare and ability.

Sophia had been a fan favourite in Full Metal Wrestling, she was now an established superstar in the ranks of LAW now, but this was a real test of her ability. This was a match worthy of a Main Event in a PPV, and it showed as the arena was ram packed tonight to witness to top talents. The absence of Thereisa still lingered in Sophia's mind, but she could not focus on that right now or Brynhild would find an opening. With the woman clearly agitated, Sophia looked to take advantage as Brynhild began to climb up to her feet. Using her speed to her own advantage, Sophia looked to rebound off the ropes as Brynhild made a move upwards, before dashing at full sprint and leaping towards her, looking to clash her knee into her jaw with a hard shinning wizard strike to try and keep her grounded.

[The Riders]

"That kick hurt... I felt that one this time... Brynhild would think to herself as she would start to raise herself up to her hands and knees. A lot of the women in the company don't have the power needed to take her down, but most of them try to defeat her using skill and speed to wear her massive frame down before finally using their strength to keep her down for the three count.

As Sophia slammed her knee right into her jaw, that knocked the big woman down for a loop again, stunning her and leaving her laying on her back holding her chin and jaw with her hand, as she could feel it starting to swell from the blunt force of the impact. Now she is starting to get pissed, as she is going to have a nice knot on her jaw after this match is over.

[thesteedman]

The crowd were getting behind Sophia as she slowly began to take apart Brynhild! It was certainly a display to witness, everyone knowing of Brynhild's reputation and what she was capable of! Sophia was using her size against her, exposing a potential weakness to be exploited as Sophia began a hit and run style of wrestling against her. The German was always certain to never be standing directly in front of her, purposely making her opponent guess where she would be striking from next. What was more important was that Sophia was keeping her attacks unpredictable. She attacked her legs the first time, but made sure to change things up, keep Brynhild guessing, landing a vicious knee strike that sent Brynhild back down much to the delight of the watching LAW fans in the arena in this sold out crowd for this Apex Qualifier.

Sophia looked to step up her attacks, waiting for Brynhild to rise, sensing an anger within the woman and knowing a direct attack could spell a counter. She wanted her off her guard as much as she could manage, and the moment Brynhild was up to one knee, she dashed upon her once more, looking to deftly leap up and wrap her legs around her neck. If all went to plan, Sophia looked to throw her body and have Brynhild follow her strong momentum for a hurricarana attempt upon her. If Brynhild went down, the scarred but beautiful German looked to keep her legs around her neck and lock on a headscissor hold in the direct aftermath of her hurricarana attempt! So far... the crowd was loving it, wondering if Sophia could keep up this pace and momentum against such a dangerous and legendary foe!

[The Riders]

"This little brat is going to pay for trying to show me up right now." Brynhild would think to herself. She always hated dealing with smaller wrestlers who were built more for speed than pure power like she was, even recalling the times where she had to expand her range as a wrestler due to her time in Japan dealing with the smaller joshi wrestlers at the time. Hence why she was not worried or stressed much about Sophia's hit-and-run moves, as she knows how to deal with wrestlers like that, as they will always make a mistake, and then she would crush them with brutal precision before breaking them.

As she had risen to her knees and was about to get up before her opponent was about to make her own move, as Sophia would land on her shoulders and try for a hurricarana move to take her down to the mat again... but Brynhild was ready and showing off her massive strength, she was able to place her hands on the other woman's back to stop her from free falling backwards. "I got you this time, little wolf," the older woman would smirk as she got to her feet. Before slamming her opponent down to the canvas with a powerbomb, but keeping the hands together, she lifted Sophia up and went for another powerbomb move on her younger opponent.
