Spoiler

Cecilia wasn't completely unfamiliar with her opponent of the evening, she had heard of her and seen one or two of her matches since she came to LAW. This Lilliana seemed like a strong one, all the more reason why Cecilia thought tonight was going to be entertaining. After all she wanted to crush the toughest people she could find, all for that intense competition of throwing might against might in order to crush one another. A light smirk on her face as she fixed up her attire and put on her crop top jacket. Stepping out of her locker room, Cecilia made her way towards the Gorilla Position where she would wait as the stage hands got her music ready.

She would start to stretch out her arms a bit, rolling her shoulders, not wasting a single moment of this wait time. As she would soon enough her her music hit. All or Nothing by Attika 7 would start to play out of the speakers as the Hardcore Queen stepped out onto the ramp. The mixed reaction of the crowd echoing through the arena as the powerfully built blonde made her way down towards the squared circle.

Rolling in under the bottom ropes, she would move up to her feet and walk right towards the far off corner and turn, leaning against it with her arms draped over the ropes. Releasing a soft sigh as she would look up at the top of the ramp. Now all that was to wait...for Lilliana. The sooner she got down the better for Cecilia's plan, to break every powerful woman thrown at her to show Japan just why she was known as the Hardcore Queen.

[winner3]

Standing in at 6'2" with a very capable, very strong, and tight frame, a talented wrestler like Lilliana had proven to be every bit as daunting an opponent in the ring as she appeared. In truth, management was having difficulty finding opponents for her, given the condition she often left them in. When they obtained Cecilia as a recent hire, Antiqua was selected to face "The Hardcore Queen". Lilliana had a good track record in hardcore matches. So using her to put Northman's reputation to the test made sense to the higher-ups. Not that Lilliana cared. She took her place behind the backstage curtain. She stood tall, arms crossed, stoic expression. When Northman finished up, Lilliana's theme song began to play, and the curtains lifted. The stadium lights bounced off her toned, defined frame as she peered down the ramp and got a good look at her competition.l!

Lilliana Anitqua

Just from meeting eyes with Cecilia, Antiqua could tell tonight would be nothing short of a fight- a certified brawl between the two heavy-hitting heavyweights. And Antiqua had been brawling in boxing rings for years before she settled into her career in wrestling. She aimed to cement a legacy in the industry to further her family's great name. And she marched down the ramp with a conviction and purpose in her stride, expression, and body language that conveyed her willingness to further that legacy by any means necessary! The few boos and bad reactions she did get were eclipsed by those in awe of the family Heiress's presence. Lilliana shrugged off any and all reception from the audience as she made her way down the to the ring while her music played. She would scale the steel steps and walked halfway down the apron. She dusted her feet before stepping over the top rope and into the ring. Both ladies seemed to be all business, tonight. And Lilliana's words to Cecilia confirmed that on her end.

"The older Northman sister, I take it? Lilliana Antiqua, in the flesh."

"In truth, I don't prefer these hardcore matches. But I will do what I need to in this match to further my career at the expense of yours."

[Devastated]

Cecilia raised her right eyebrow a bit as she remained leaning against the corner turnbuckle, looking on at the arrival of her opponent. She was a rather tall one, Cecilia could tell all the way down from the ring as she watched her descend the ramp and head towards the squared circle. The blonde powerhouse would shrug her shoulders and bit and then let out a soft sigh. Seeing how Lilliana climbed into the ring via the steps and walked with conviction and purpose...Stepping over the top rope even which was quite different from the gruff and rough Hardcore Queen had entered the ring.

When Lilliana stepped up to the center of the ring and and spoke to her, Cecilia would push herself out from her corner position. Almost looking as if she was reluctant to do so. Walking up towards the center of the ring to meet with Lilliana, the blonde powerhouse would find herself stopping about a foot or so away from the purple haired woman. She would give Lilliana a look over, eyes going up and down along that well trained physique of her opponent.

"Tough luck I guess, cause there is a reason why I am known as the Hardcore Queen. Guess I'll be the one furthering my career at your expense then." Cecilia mocked as she threw a sneer towards Lilliana. The referee was quick to step in between the two of them as she didn't want a brawl to break out from these two titanesses before she could even ring the bell.

[winner3]

Lilliana raised an eyebrow at Cecilia's response. The referee cut in before either Titaness threw themselves at one another. Lilly let out a slightly disappointed sigh before she began to step back towards her corner.

"For your sake, I hope your wrestling is more remarkable than your wordplay." She said, processing the fact that Northman chose to rebut with Lady Antiqua's own words.

Antiqua would take her place in her corner. No stretches or warmups required. The sculpted aristocrat seemed ready to let her fists do the talking. When the announcements and introductions were over when the referee was done making sure both women were set, Lilliana would emerge from her corner with her hands up, assuming a stance that was more suited for a boxer than a wrestler. Antiqua would lean into her background as a professional pugilist as she approached and threw out several quick, sharp, long-range jabs. She aimed to use her large wingspan to keep Cecelia at a distance. The Heiress aimed to command the pace of the match from the onset, and test her opponent to see how she'd respond!

[Devastated]

Rolling her shoulders as she backed away from Lilliana and settled into her corner. She would take click her tongue and throw a glare over at the fit purple haired woman. Already the buxom woman was annoying her and she couldn't wait to rip into her and take her apart piece by piece. As she stepped out of her corner, as the referee called for the bell...

The two of them marched up towards the center of the ring, Cecilia cockily keeping her arms down at her sides until the final moment. Which was a bit of a mistake as she hadn't expected Lilliana to raise her arms up and come in at her in that boxer stance, throwing her right fist into Cecilia's cheek, and snapping her head to the side. The blonde stumbled back a step, righting herself quickly as she would bring her arms up to protect herself from the onslaught of the aristocrats flurry of blows.

The blonde raised her guard up and began to block as many of those jabs that she could, cursing a bit under her breath....before she would try and find a moment to go in, looking to duck low and try and slip in between those strikes to close the distance. The Hardcore Queen would try and wrap her arms around Lilliana's hips and try and lift her up! Looking to heave her up high into the air before trying to throw Lilliana down with a quick spinebuster attempt.

[winner3]

Lilliana had capitalized on Cecilia's choice to keep her arms down close to the beginning of the match. The cocky stance was punished with a hard jab to the side of the face! Lady Antiqua continued her offensive as she looked to keep Cecilia at a distance. She knew dared Northman to challenge her with strikes. To discover just how masterful Lilliana was with hers. But for all her arrogance, Cecilia was smarter than that it seemed. Lilliana circled the ring as she threw those combinations. And Cecilia did what she could to mitigate them. When she finally found an opening, she darted in and went low. Lilliana's eyes widened as her opponent's arms worked their way around her waist. She felt Cecilia's strong grip, her arms flexing as she looked to lift the towering heavyweight.

"Futile!" Antiqua would retort as her feet left the mat. She'd throw her feet back in midair before Northman could get a grip on the backs of her thighs and land on standing straight! Antiqua would look to hook her arm around her foe's blonde head and secure her in a Front Facelock to punish her. She'd attempt to club Cecilia in the back with forearm blows while she had a hold of her.

"No finesse, no style. You charge at me like a mad bull!" Lilly would say as she critiqued Cecilia's fighting style whilst fighting her.

[Devastated]

Cecilia charged in at Lilliana and rammed her shoulder into that midsection of her and grabbed at the back of her thighs. Trying to lift Lilliana up but it looked as if the purple haired woman had other plans. As she wrapped her arm around the blonde's head and then squeezed it in that frontal facelock, as if that wasn't the end of it she was quick to hammer her arm down across the back of the blonde, clubbing her over and over on her back as she continued to mock Cecilia while on that high-horse of hers.

The blonde powerhouse grunted with each clubbing forearm that struck into her back....but she didn't slow down. Instead her arms would grip firmly around those hips and try and power through it, aiming to heave and deadlift Lilliana up off of her feet and into the air, holding her there for a moment or two....

All before she would try and bring Lilliana down with her groin right on the knee of the Hardcore Queen, trying to nail her with a nasty Manhattan drop to hopefully shut her up. Or make her howl in pain, Cecilia would be okay with either.

[winner3]

Lilliana hammered away at Cecilia's back. She sought to punish Northman for her repeated charges. She could feel Cecilia's raw strength with each charge. Even while she tried to dissuade her from advancing by throwing hard strike after hard strike to the self-proclaimed hardcore queen's back, Lilly could feel the need to dig her heels into the canvas as her opponent continued trying to overpower her with limited success. After four of five forearms, however, Cecelia's stubbornness began to bore fruit. She grabbed firmly onto Lilliana's hips, using them for leverage to hoist Antiqua up off the canvas! Lilliana tightened her grip around Northman's neck. But that didn't seem to slow Cecilia down enough!

"Urgh! Rrrrrgh!" Lilliana groaned out first sharply in pain and then in anger as she was dropped onto her crotch, right on top of Cecilia's knee! Antiqua recoiled. She took several steps back and doubled over, holding her hurting groin with both hands. Her face contorted with visible rage. In just a few short moments into the match, she felt she knew exactly the kind of competitor Cecilia was: a woman who sought to win by any means necessary!

Clamors from the crowd grew as the competition heated up. Of course, hardcore rules meant low blows were legal, but that doesn't mean the fans liked it, not that Cecilia cared. If her opponent rushed at her, Lillian's would seek to drop down, tugging the top rope along the way to create a low bridge and escort her foe outside. But if not, Lilly would remain doubled over as she tried to collect herself and get back into the match.

"You....cur...." Antiqua would shout in a gruff tone as she parted her hair from in front of her face with her free hand.

[Devastated]

Having heaved Lilliana up into the air and then brought her down with that Manhattan drop, she watched how the purple haired woman took several steps back and doubled over. Arching her back a bit as she straightened up, Cecilia would watch her try and create some distance between the two of them. She wasn't about to let that happen, like a shark smelling blood in the water the blonde would chase after.

Looking to inch her way closer and closer until she had Lilliana trapped against the ropes. She saw her hand on the top ropes and figured what would happen should she rush in, but the blonde powerhouse wasn't that short sighted when it came to fighting, she wasn't that much of a rash fool. Instead the blonde powerhouse closed in and while Antiqua responded with her gruff tone, the blonde powerhouse would show off some of her own boxing abilities.

Throwing her right arm up, she would try and throw a harsh right hook straight into the the pretty face of the purple haired woman. Only to follow it up with a left uppercut straight into her chest, trying to throw punch after punch into Lilliana and keep her boxed in against the ropes, trapped with little escape against the Hardcore Queen's flurry.

[winner3]

Having hoped to catch Cecilia off guard, Lady Antiqua dropped down to try and use her foe's momentum to carry her out of the ring. But Northman was smarter than that. The blonde approached Lilliana. She stopped short. Rather than rush her, Cecelia composed herself and threw repeated, well-aimed punches! The first was a right hook that connected with Lilliana's face as she rose up! The force of the fist meeting her cheek tilted her head to the side. Lilly would turn her head as Cecilia connected, mitigating just a small portion of the impact. But the follow-up in the form of a hard uppercut with her left, brought Lilliana down to one knee. She shook her head and blinked. Until now, no one had dared challenge Antiqua blow for blow. Cecelia was quite the striker. It Antiqua was not amused.

Right away, Lilliana would rise. And as she did, she'd bring her own right hand up with such speed and precision that it would strike like a crack of lightning if it connected with Cecilia's jaw! The prodigious heavyweight sought to beat her opponent to the punch both literally and figuratively. Lilly was out to counter Cecelia's third punch with one of her own! Lilliana was an accomplished boxer. So much so that she had left the world of boxing to seek to establish her dominance in wrestling in the same way! And she was going to prove that masterful striking background to Northman first-hand! If it worked, Lilliana would rise and approach Cecelia. She'd seek to womanhandle the blonde powerhouse and shover her roughly into the corner so that she could follow up with a huge right hook of her own to the middleweight's bare abdomen!
