----
It was another day for Astrid, who stood backstage, planting one foot on a bench as she fixed her hair before finishing lacing up her boots. Once she was confident that she was ready, the Norwegian woman looked up at the mirror with a smile, flexing her arm. Her smile only grew wider at the sight, brimming with encouragement. This was going to be a good match.
"Coming first to the ring, from Stavanger, Norway! ASTRID OSTBERG!" Spoiler
Music
Astrid stepped out from the curtains as her music hit, with sparks flying around her as she lifted her hands up and flexed her biceps, pushing out her chest to put her statuesque physique on display. After hearing the initial cheer, Astrid began to make her way down to the ring, hi-fiving a few fans at either side of the aisle. Finally, she came to the ring and planted a foot on the ring apron, looking out proudly at the crowd before she rolled in between the ropes to enter the ring.
Kennedy was set for her entrance as she grabbed the vine she would swing down from. “Roar” by Katy Perry went on as Kennedy swung down from her vine and landed safely on the entrance ramp. She beat her chest to the boos of the crowd as she came down the entrance way growling at different people in the crowd. She tried to look as fierce as possible.
“HER OPPONENT, FROM THE AMAZON JUNGLE...KENNEDY LEE!”
Her leaf bikini in tow and her being barefoot. The former XCW Women’s Champion got on the apron and slipped into through the ropes roaring as the crowd booed her more. She set herself in a corner on all fours.
As Kennedy made her entrance, Astrid stood on guard, raising her fists. From the reaction she had garnered so soon after her entrance, it was clear that this woman had no love from the crowd - and it wasn't hard for the Norwegian to see why. She looked fierce, all right, and with her odd, animalistic behavior, Astrid had no idea what to expect from her. She would prove unpredictable indeed, and no doubt would give Astrid a run for her money. She knew she would have to be on guard.
Nevertheless, Astrid saw this as her chance to take charge. Stepping in closer to lessen the distance between herself and her foe, Astrid held up a hand. "Never fear!" she called out to console the crowd. "This wild woman won't scare me! I'm going to give it my all and put her in her place!" She flexed a muscle to punctuate her speech, standing tall and proud as she glared Kennedy down.
Kennedy looked at Astrid coming forward with both fists raises indicating a fight. Kennedy growled at her new prey and tried lunging early, but the ref kept them separated. Kennedy stood up on her two feet as she heard Astrid make her declaration.
“Kennedy! Queen of Amazon!” Kennedy exclaimed as she beat her chest.
Despite Kennedy's display, Astrid wouldn't be moved. She pounded a fist in her open palm, cracking her knuckles. The intent of her gesture was clear - Astrid was strong, and proud of it. She wasn't going to let Kennedy make her feel like she couldn't hold her own against her, and she stared down at her with a proud look of determination on her face.
"If you really are the queen," Astrid said, "then bring it on!"
DING DING DING
Astrid could see how excited Kennedy was to face off against her. Luckily, she wasn't going to deny her the opportunity. As soon as the bell rang, Astrid ran in too, throwing her full weight in as she barreled towards Kennedy with her shoulder down, seeing if she could interrupt the Amazon Queen's forward momentum with a shoulder charge!
Kennedy saw Astrid’s determination as the bell rang and Astrid broke off running as Kennedy readied for her, but Astrid caught her with the shoulder charge as Kennedy went down, but she was right back up and tried grabbing Astrid from behind to hit a German Suplex!
Astrid lunged forward, the momentum carrying her strides. She was the first to land a blow; her full force slamming into Kennedy and knocking her back off her feet as the crowd gasped at witnessing such a thrilling move. Astrid stood tall above her downed opponent with a grin on her face as she put her hands on her hips. She was just about ready to follow it up, when suddenly Kennedy rolled back up to her feet! For a moment, Astrid stood there stunned. The last thing she was expecting was to see her make a recovery so rapidly - it was clear that Kennedy's endurance would prove a valuable asset to her.
In that moment when Astrid stood dazed, she had left herself wide open. Kennedy was quickly able to get up and behind the Norwegian, swinging her backward with a German suplex. Astrid landed hard on her head, a thud going through the ring and shaking the canvas before she fell onto her back, stunned.
Kennedy smirked as she grabbed Astrid and put her in the Adominal Stretch as she wrenched down on Astrid and taunting the Noreweigan by slapping her chest.
Astrid groaned, wincing as she felt the soreness on her sides, back, and stomach alike with Kennedy putting pressure on her through the abdominal stretch. Things only got worse for her when Kennedy delivered a slap against her chest, striking her breast and sending a wave of pain through her body. She let out a yelp, caught by surprise - but Astrid wasn't giving up just yet. Gritting her teeth to steel herself, the Norwegian attempted to smash her forearm against Kennedy's side to slow her down.
Kennedy groaned as she had to let go after Astrid nailed her side with a Forearm, but she was only getting started with this Norwegian. She tried to tackle her to the canvas.
