Main Event - Astrid Ostberg (c) vs "Amazon" Alaina Sanders vs "Super Kitty"Kat Hart for the LAW Heavyweight Championship

[winner3]

"Ngh..." A tired, pained groan left Kat's lips as she recovered.

Astrid's finisher had rocked her. The Super Kitty was laid out for some time. But now she finally had enough of her word about her to make out what was happening! Alaina Sanders was about to win the gold!

"ONE...!"

Kat was only able to barely make out the exchange between Astrid and Alaina following the Stavanger Buster she took earlier. The luchadora was still down on the mat and on her front. She was able to lift her head just before the referee started counting. Alaina and Astrid had remarkable toughness and strength. Kat knew that she was never going to win by using their same approach. Outgunning and outlasting the two biggest workhorses/two of the biggest women in LAW's heavyweight division was a fool's errand, even for the likes of Kat Hart! But even so, not once did Kat count herself out!

"TWO....!" The referee slapped the canvas a second time! The cheers in the sold-out sports arena crescendoed!

The famed luchadora pulled herself up to all fours quickly! Alaina was a heartbeat away from winning this main event and becoming champion!

"Hey....!" Kat smiled as she grabbed hold of Alaina's boot. Just as Astrid covered Kat for the pin mere moments ago, Alaina had gone for a basic cover on the champion. Kat looked to capitalize on this!

In the brief, fleeting moment between the second and third counts, Kat quickly pressed her palms to the canvas and got her feet underneath her. She relied on her speed and her experience, on her merits as a dynamic and capable wrestler. She didn't try to beat Astrid or Alaina at their own game! The Super Kitty was going to win this her way!

Kat was already on both feet. There wasn't much distance between her and both of her opponents! The moment she laid hands on Alaina's boot, Kat pulled The Amazon backward, physically dragging her away from Astrid!

While Hart didn't sport the same upper body strength as these two ladies! She was plenty explosive and plenty strong in her own right! There was a reason that they called Kat Hart the face of this company! Even now, with the noise coming from the crowd and the yelling and hype from those rooting for her in commentary, it was clear that even while she was reeling and hurting from the toll this match was taking, Kat was still very much in the running! She could still become Heavyweight Champion!

"I told you before, right, Allie? It's you and me..." Kat would utter breathlessly with fatigue as she quickly scrambled for some sort of follow-up to turn the tides here!

After tugging Alaina off of Astrid, Kat expected immediate resistance! And she planned to act before Alaina could brush her off! The luchadora would step forward and grab hold of Alaina's wrist! She'd step over the isolated arm of The Amazon! Kat would look to curl Sander's arm over her calf to set up for a pinning combination! If she managed to catch Alaina by surprise, Kat would turn towards Alaina and flip over her, slipping her arm between the Amazon's thighs and flipping Alaina's upper back and shoulders onto the canvas in the process to set up La Magistral! A pinning maneuver that could turn the tides and see fortunes reversed such that Alaina would go from nearly pinning Astrid for the gold to being pinned herself!

La Magistral

[Highfly]

The dazed, aching amazon was unaware of Kat until she was yanked off Astrid! "Wha?" Alaina groaned not sure what happened until she registered that Kat was back on her feet! Alaina was trying to move but Kat was far too quick for the amazon! Alaina was rolled and the next thing she knew she was folded up and looking at the lights with her shoulders down!

"ONE!"

Alaina bucked and thrust a couple times but it was too little to escape leaving her pinned on the mat!"

"TWO!"

Alaina howled and thrust again, thrashing and bucking as she tried to power her way out in pure desperation!

"THRE-"

"NO!" Alaina shouted as she thrust up and to the side breaking the pin at the last second! She was on fumes now and Kat was back. She knew the amabuster would keep Astrid down for a moment but she had to hit fast and hit hard. She got up and raised an arm up knowing Kat was going to come in fast. Alaina sent a hard punch to her jaw then a couple hard knee strikes to Kats abdomen to double her over hoping to stun Kat long enough to act......

Alaina would grab and lift Kat up, and now she was upside down in muscle buster position! Alaina came down but kept hold of Kat completing the muscle buster part other finisher before jumping up and aiming Kats head to the skull completing a second amabuster this time on Kat! Alaina immediately positioned herself on top of Kat hooking a leg and pulling it as tight as she could! Was the old challenger going to win another title or was her comeback destined to be a disappointment?

The official slid in to place to begin the count as Alaina was on top of Kat!

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

[winner3]

By this point, each woman in the match had felt the full impact of each other's finishers! Kat had been moving dynamically, but even now, one good look at her told the whole story. She was sweating up and down, her breathing was ragged, it was clear that she was forcing her body to move - that she was still feeling the effects of Astrid's Modified Muscle Buster! And yet, even now, The Super Kitty powered through to try and snatch victory front the jaws of defeat!

Kat rolled up Alaina! Once again, Hart came within mere fractions of a second of capturing the gold, and once again, the indomitable wills of both Alaina and Astrid saw them somehow some way, find a way to kick out just a hair before three!

"Pant....pant..." The kick out saw Kat catch herself on all fours. Her eyes were wide open in an incredulous gaze. Her mouth hung agape. It was probably the closest near fall of either woman's career. The fans, the commentators- everyone could hardly believe that The Amazon wasn't down for the third count!

Everyone had expected Kat to quickly redouble her efforts! There was still time to pounce on Alaina while she was recovering. But even Kat had her limits.

"Uuuf!" The luchadora tried to push herself up from all fours. But her arms buckled! She collapsed onto her face for a couple seconds. Alaina may have been running on fumes. But Astrid had already done a heck of a number on The Super Kitty!

Still, Kat grit her teeth, even with the side of her face on the canvas! She balled her fist and rose up! First to one knee! Then to one foot! And for her visible effort and determination, she ate a hard right hook to the jaw from Alaina!

"Gah!" Kat staggered to the side. Her legs crossed as she tried to stay upright! Alaina moved in and continued to wail on her, grabbing hold of the blonde's statuesque frame and ramming her knee into Hart's chiseled abs over and over again!

Each knee hit its mark! Each one left Kat more and more breathless! Her arms hung limply in front of her! The Amazon hauled her up off the canvas, into an upsidedown position for the Amabuster!

It all happened so fast! Kat was spiked into the canvas like a stake into the ground! The massive pop from the crowd echoed out! The fact that Astrid still wasn't moving! All of these things were circumstances of the match that Kat would normally be keenly aware of! But while she lay there on the mat, sprawled out with her eyes closed, her buxom chest heaving with each breath, she couldn't process anything at all!

Alaina covered her and hooked the leg! She folded Kat up tight like this leg of her career was riding on it! Because to Alaina, it was!

"ONE....!" The official had slapped the mat and began counting! Kat's eyes remained closed! She offered no resistance!

"TWO....!" Kat had been defeated by Sander's Amabuster once before! Would it happen a second time?! Would it happen with the LAW Heavyweight Championship on the line?!

"THREEEEE!!!!!" It would!

The official called for the bell! Alaina's theme song would hit! Streamers and confetti reigned down right on cue! The cheers from the crowd and the announcement that followed immortalized this moment in LAW history!

"Your winner!!!!!! AND NEWWWWWWW LAW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIOOONNNNNN! THE AMAZON! ALAINA! SAAAAAANDERS!!!"

[Highfly]

The bell rang and Alaina laid atop Kat. She was still in shock and unable to move even if she wanted to. She did it. Alaina had a major championship around her waist again at 47 years old. She gasped for breath and slowly pushed herself up, stumbling forward and falling into the ropes, clinging to them as she struggled to stay up. Her torso was on fire now, and she knew she was going to be hurting for a while after this but as the official held one hand up as her other held the ropes while her bulk still leaned on them it was all worth it.

She was still gasping and barely able to stand even with the help of the ropes as the referee came over and gave her the LAW Heavyweight Championship title. She stood up and was hunched over but standing on her own holding it up as tears of joy ran down her face. She managed to come out on top against two of the toughest women she ever wrestled against at any point in her career. She still couldn't believe it, but it felt like a weight off her shoulders. Her comeback was now validated entirely. She had faced anyone and everyone leading up to this and compiled a full record wrestling as often as she could even at her age to prove herself, previous career record be damned. Age seemed like nothing but a number to the amazon now, although each passing second led to her whole body feeling the effects of the match as she collapsed to her knees cradling the title in her arms.

Covered in sweat the dazed amazon bobbed and swayed, her torso needed to be wrapped up and taken care of the sooner the better. She stood tall holding the title high, soaking up the loud booming cheers of the crowd and hoping that she could see each of the other women involved in this punishing, agonizing matchup....

[CaptainL]

It had happened.

At first, when the bell rang, no one could believe it. Could it have really been true? Could Alaina Sanders - after so long, and after striving so hard to attain the Heavyweight Championship, really have done it, after so many times before in which she'd tried and failed? But whether they believed it or not, the reaction was the same. The third count had landed. Alaina had been proclaimed victorious. And with that, her greatest dream had finally been achieved. The stands rang out with a chorus of cheers and claps and the drumming of feet against the bleachers. Alaina had triumphed - and everyone was there to bear witness to a historic event. Not only were they experiencing one of LAW's first international PPVs, it was an event that had seen a title change!

The action had been so heated and fast-paced that the fortunes of the three competitors had reversed multiple times in the finish alone. First, it looked as though Astrid was about to take out Kat and retain her belt. Then, Alaina had taken down Astrid. Then, it seemed as though Kat might well be walking away from this match with the Heavyweight Championship - but Alaina took control at the very last minute, and pinned Kat for the title!

Astrid was still coming around from the landing she had taken. Her head was throbbing from the Amabuster, and it took her some time before she found the strength she needed to push herself back to an upright position. Even then, she teetered back and forth uneasily, and her whole body sagged under the weight of her fatigue. She panted for breath; her chest was heaving and her skin was slick with sweat. But with the arena still erupting with cheers, it didn't take Astrid long to reason out what had happened. Alaina had got the pin - and the title she now hoisted triumphantly over her head belonged to her.

For a moment, the Norsewoman bowed her head low to the ground, breathing out a short sigh of disappointment. But she just as quickly shook that thought out of her head. When she looked back up at Alaina, she was beaming with pride; a bright grin had taken across her face, and she began to clap along with all the fans as she nodded in approval. She couldn't stay upset for long. Astrid had always maintained that when it came to the title, the best woman should win. She knew that everyone in this match had given it their best effort, and that all had truly pushed themselves to the limit in the pursuit of victory, drawing on the utmost limits of their strength, skill, and potential. If, when it came down to it, it would prove that Alaina's efforts could surpass her own, Astrid had no choice but to concede that the Amazon deserved her victory.

"Congratulations...champion," Astrid said, bowing her head toward Alaina as she clapped. But all the same, at the back of her mind, Astrid couldn't help but feel a bit of a sting in saying that word about someone else. She winced and bit her lip. Was this supposed to happen? Was this a sign that Alaina had gotten better - or that she had gotten worse?

But Astrid was willing to look past it. Alaina was her friend. And Alaina had just achieved a victory of a lifetime. Astrid could at least be happy for that...right?

[winner3]

The bell rang. The celebrations began. Reality set in for the fans, for the commentators, for the staff....for the now former Heavyweight Champion. One of the last people to process what had happened just seconds ago, was The Super Kitty, herself.

"Mmmngh..." The pop from the crowd was deafening. Kat's groans as she came to would go unnoticed. That Amabuster kept her down for a minute.

When Kat finally did come to, the celebrations and the fallout were both still very much underway. The replays on the big screen, the commentary at the announce desk, Alaina's music, things were in full swing. Alaina had done what so many people thought she couldn't.

Kat slowly sat up and then worked her way up to her feet. She was met with the sight of Astrid bowing her head to Alaina, seemingly accepting this turn of events. There was no denying that Alaina had shown grit and spirit, both in this matchup and in her entire LAW career up until this very point. Astrid being gracious in defeat here signaled that it was the end of an era. The now former champion congratulated The Amazon. And Kat would soon join her in doing so.

"Alaina...I..." Hart staggered as she walked toward both women.

Kat was certainly the chattiest of the bunch. These women were pillars of their division - pillars of LAW as a whole. It was clear that emotion was welling up within Kat. The Super Kitty wiped a tear from her eye as she hobbled closer to Alaina. There was so much she wanted to say and yet she breathed not a word. Instead, Kat stepped forward and simply hugged her longtime friend and career rival, drawing more cheers from the crowd.

Kat smiled with genuine happiness. The three of them made history here tonight! On perhaps the biggest stage possible, too!

Still speechless, Kat would extend a hand to Astrid, seemingly offering her the chance to make this emotional display a full-on group hug.

[Highfly]

Alaina was still in shock at what happened, barely able to stand. She knew her ribs were busted and medical would be eager to check out all three women in the back.

She saw Astrid and Kat both coming over and the semi-delerious champion smiled and nodded. She shook both their hands and gave them hugs but the squeeze was light. She just didn't have anything left in the tank for more than that.

"Thank you.... you two are amazing one-in-a-lifetime type of wrestler. Both of you. I know you will both have gold around your waist again many times in the future for sure. You are the best." Alaina said trying to take their hands and rise them up as the crowd kept cheering the trio. She was proud of them and k ew any of the three would be a deserving, amazing champion.

It was Alaina who won though and while it would be celebrated at home, in the arena and on the internet the celebration would shift to a burden as it was up to the new champion to uphold the title itself.

[CaptainL]

For all three of these women, the Heavyweight Championship meant everything. All of them were determined to prove themselves worthy of the honors, willing to do whatever they needed to overcome the obstacles in their way and to place themselves atop the mountain that was the Heavyweight Division. All of them saw this as a pivotal moment in their careers, and all of them were fully prepared to defend the championship with the honor it deserved - and to give a fight worthy of it. Yet, when the dust cleared, and Alaina was proclaimed the new champion, there were no hard feelings - not from Kat, and not from Astrid. The Norsewoman was as sore, weary, and bruised as either of her two opponents, but she too stepped to Alaina's side to honor her friend and her inspiration for a victory years in the making, pulling her into an embrace - though hers was perhaps a little too rough; she didn't know her own strength some times. Either way, Kat and Astrid each took one of Alaina's arms and held it high - but of course, the Norwegian would let Alaina take center stage, holding the belt aloft.

As Alaina gave her speech, Astrid turned to her with a smile and nodded her head. "And you? You've got enough stories in you to last three lifetimes, at least," she chuckled. "Now, you've proven there's room for one more. I never thought I would be the one saying this to you one day, but...I'm proud of you."

Astrid blinked a tear out of her eye. A tear of joy, she told herself, for how happy she was for Alaina and how much this moment meant to her. She didn't feel any bitterness about losing her title. Even if she might question if her skills were holding up, that was a worry for another time. For now...it was Alaina's time to shine. And when the feed to the PPV cut, it would be on all three women, all of them champions at one time or another, standing arm in arm - and facing what was sure to be a bright future for the Amazon.

Winner by Pinfall: Alaina Sanders
