Battle for Pride: Jess Mcleary vs CyberWidow

[The Riders]

"TEN.."

The ref after calling for the bell quickly slides out of the ring to check on both women. Seeing the damage both have done to each other, she makes the sign to get help from the back. Going over to check on Jess first since she is closest asking if she is alright, before going to check on Widow who is still out of it.

Seeing the state of their mother/Step-mother. Both Serilda and Ana run from the backstage area to the ring at a full sprint, shoving the ref aside to check on the woman who means a lot to them. "Mom it alright wake up..." "Don't touch her... You back off and let us handle this." both women yell at the ref's and medics that try to get close to the knocked out woman.

"...Girls... Let's... Let's go..." letting out a groan Widow slowly comes to with a blank and dazed look in her eyes. Concussed again as the her daughters help her to her feet, helping her walk to to leave the ring. Both girls giving Jess and who ever comes out to help her out the death glare.

And surprisingly enough, Aesira had been watching the fight. Having finished with a fight with a rather strong competitor, one she didn’t manage to win.. but was satiated anyways, she’d see Jess all banged up.

Now her relationship with the cowgirl was.. rocky and painful, at least for her, but she did consider Jess a friend. So, as soon as TEN rang out and the other women came into the ring..

So did she. Out of her wrestling outfit mostly and without her horns, Aesira slid into the ring. Walking over to Jess, she’d crouch down and pat her cheek, not giving Widows daughters much notice. Leaning down..

“You alright, Jess?”

She’d look at the rather injured frame of her, but it was a fight and she thought it was no reason to get mad for. Cyber Widow was pretty strong after all, and she was sure Jess knew what she had been getting into.

Aesira wasn't the only person who came to Jess's aid. Someone else happened to be at this show - someone with a long history of being involved with both of the combatants. Astrid Ostberg hadn't been scheduled for a match on the card, but that didn't matter to her - she had still elected to be present in the stands when she learned that Cyber Widow would be wrestling, wanting to keep an eye on her should she attempt anything funny. Up until this point, her presence had gone undetected. But now, as Astrid rushed down the stairs to ringside, she got a few cheers from the fans as she passed by. She was, after all, the Heavyweight Champion, and a star in her own right.

But this time, Astrid wasn't here to sign any autographs or pose for any photos. She came to the side of the fallen cowgirl, bending down to help her to her feet. Although she and Jess had been rivals since Astrid was new to LAW, and their feud had stoked the tensions in Astrid's title defense, they had still come to mutually respect one another through the effort they had seen each other put forth in pursuit of the title. After that match, Astrid had vowed that she and Jess would be on each others' sides. And now, it was time to make good on that promise.

"You took quite a fall there," Astrid said. "You're lucky it wasn't worse..." As she helped guide Jess back up, she looked across at where Liger and Ana were accompanying Widow. She knew, too, that these two weren't afraid to carry out their mother's dirty work, and the glare on her face made it clear that she was watching them carefully for anything funny.

*Struggling to return to her uncooperative feet was a herculean task in and of itself, but as she glanced out of the corner of her eye Jess instantaneously recognized the gargantuan amazon she had roughed up a few weeks ago. Anticipating an opportunistic thrashing, she was astonished that not only was Aesira checked on her wellbeing, but even went the extra mile to lend a hand by propping her up and attempting to escort her out of the arena.*

*Not even minutes later, another familiar face offered her aid, as The Heavyweight Champion herself Astrid offered to lighten the load Aesira was carrying. This realization almost brought a tear to the Texan's eye, having cemented at least a handful of meaningful relationships throughout her extensive time on the LAW circuit. As Widow and her posse made their exit, The Crimson Crusher staggered back to her feet with the help of her compatriots, gesturing towards the ramp with a flick of her head.*

"C..come on gals, let's not dawdle anymore than we hafta~" *With both women securely navigating Jess out of the stadium, they received a rousing applause for their efforts, gradually encouraging every spectator to express their fondness of the moment by chanting* "Friends forever! Friends forever!" *To solidify their relationship. However, as much as Jess cherished this sentimental moment, she still had unfinished business with Widow which she had no intentions of letting fall to the wayside. For now though, she would convalesce at home and devise a plan of attack on her terms, striking when she was good and ready.*

Match conclusion: Tie.
