It had been quite a spectacle, with the redhead enjoying the best seat: Bengal was knocked unconscious right in front of her eyes, a shame it wasn't her hand that did it, but even so, the whole scene brought a wide smile to Ashley's face. However, The Brit still had a job to do...
The referee lifted Bengal's hand twice, with no reaction from the indian girl, before she could grab her hand a third time. Ashley slapped Bengal's face, effectively tagging herself in as the valid member of her team to continue the match. And for the first time since the starting bell, Ashley set foot inside the ring. Standing tall between Naomi and her downed tag partner, who lay slumped unconscious next to the ring post.
The redhead took a moment to stare at the yellow-clad girl before turning her attention toward The Tiger, and then Ashley reached down, grabbing Bengal by the throat with a tight clinch. The redhead proceeded to lift the unconscious girl high in the air, the muscles in her arm tensing, evidencing the effort of keeping Bengal's whole figure suspended with her arms and legs dangling almost a whole foot above the canvas. A villainous smile appeared on Ashley's face as she walked next to the ropes at ringside. The crowd had already seen the redhead do this move before; it looked like "The Crimson Fall." Ashley's finisher. Yet the one on the receiving end was her own tag partner.
Ashley adjusted her position and, with a swift motion, launched the unconscious girl outside the ring with force. Bengal's back hit the floor hard at ringside.
Ashley grabbed the ropes with both hands and took a moment to contemplate Bengal's battered figure lying on the outside.
"Now we are even!" Ashley shouted at her supposed partner, reminiscing about their past encounter at Aman Spa.
After a few seconds, The Red Menace finally turned, shifting her attention back to the remaining wrestler standing in front of her.
"So, Naomi- wasn't it?" Ashley rolled her shoulders, warming up for the match she was just about to enter.
"Listen... It's been amusing to watch you work...
...And, I don't hate you... I really don't..." she chuckled.
"Which is more than I can say about most people in this sorry promotion."
Ashley leaned forward, adopting her wrestling stance with both arms at her sides, her hands open like claws, almost like a panther preparing to pounce on her prey.
"But you're still my opponent! And there's nothing I want more than to grind you little, puny head on the ground beneath the heel of my boot!"
A malicious look by The Red Menace:
"The true question is: How much of a fight will you put?"
