The SWAT Cats (c) vs The Ashford Family - LAW World Tag Team Championship Match

[winner3]

Tracy was on fire! By taking out Mara and Toni and knocking them off the apron, she set up a chance for herself to try and steal this match! The crowd roared as she strung her moves together and darted around the ring! No matter how experienced and capable Dana Ashford was, no matter how potent and dangerous the heel dynasty was as a tagteam, if Canon could just pin Dana's shoulders to the mat for 3 seconds, this plan to publicly dismantle the reigning tag champs all goes up in smoke! The Circus Cat, the heart and passion of the tag team champions was going to do all she could to make that happen! The grit, determination, and anger on her face as she bounced off the mats and popped up to her feet were visible even through her pink and white mask! With the support of the fans fueling her, Tracy Canon darted towards Dana Ashford and leaped up off the canvas!

The flashy aerialist jumped high enough off the canvas to compensate for the height difference between herself and The Matriarch! The Circus Cat hooked her legs over Dana's shoulders and threw herself back to try and floor the heavyweight with a Hurricanrana! But when Tracy straightened out her frame, Dana found her footing and stood firm! Ashford showed off her own resolve and technical ability by blocking the move! She did not go down!

"Crap!" The middleweight luchadora would complain aloud! Tracy realized what was happening right away! If anyone had to carry this team for this match right now, it was her! She couldn't let Dana get the better of her now! It would set the SWAT Cats back too far! Tracy would begin to pull herself back up! She'd try and throw a punch towards the blonde head of her legal opponent, but the moment she pulled herself up, Dana brought her back down with a quick but impactful Release Powerbomb!

"Guh....!" Tracy let out a deep groan as she was thrown down harshly! Dana's quick thinking beat out The Circus Cat's speed this time around! Tracy would roll onto her front! She kept a hand on the small of her back! The luchadora would grunt and groan as she tried to retreat towards the ropes and use them to find her back up to her feet!

[Arjuna]

Countering Tracy's hurricanrana attempt, Dana threw her down into the mat with a release powerbomb. Right after that, Dana straightened herself, huffing out as she shook her head, still affected by the attacks that Tracy had thrown at her. But now, she managed to gain an upper hand over the pink-clad luchadora, and she would use this opportunity to the fullest.

First, Dana decided to stun her by delivering a vicious kick right at her side. Then, she would bend down to grab Tracy by her head, pulling her back up. From there, she would get one arm between her legs and other right over her shoulder so that she could scoop her up, hoisting her up into the air before throwing her down viciously with a body slam.

A body slam might be a basic wrestling move, but it was still quite devastating if done properly. Dana was certain that Tracy would take quite a significant damage from the body slam, and if the move was successful, Dana would then do some showboating, strutting around Tracy's downed form, relishing in the displeasure of the crowd. It sure felt good to be a villain.

[winner3]

Tracy was going to be feeling the effects of that Powerbomb for a while. She was on quite a roll, but a decisive slam from Dana has slowed The Circus Cat's momentum to a crawl! Dana was fatigued and Tracy sought to try and use that brief time window to crawl towards the ropes, but The Malicious Matriarch scouted it and cut Tracy off with a vicious kick to her side!

"AUGH!" Canon would grunt loudly as the kick hit its mark, knocking her over and forcing her to roll onto her side! Tracy would lie there in pain holding her side! The middleweight luchadora was easy pickings for Dana's follow-up! The redhead would pant and moan in pain as Dana seized her by her masked head. The audience would boo loudly as Dana laid hands on Tracy, scooping her up off the canvas and spinning her into a harsh and thunderous Scoop Slam! The move was indeed basic, but that didn't Dana from putting some extra oomph into it! Tracy's mouth would be agape when her back was drilled into the mats with authority! She'd lay there splayed out at Dana's feet, gasping for air!

Tracy would lay there as Dana showboated and strutted around the fallen, discombobulated Tracy Canon! As much as she hated Dana right now, Tracy could only lay there as The Matriarch relished in her role as the villain and thoroughly angered the crowd! When Dana came for her again, Tracy would lift her hand, raising it towards Dana slowly before extending her middle finger to flip the conceited heavyweight off!

"Screw...you... Tracy would say to Dana, even as she was hurting! The Ashford Family continued this public dismantling of The World Tag Champs, much to the dismay of everyone in the arena!

[Arjuna]

Dana did the showboating, angering the crowd, drawing a massive heat from them. Then, when she decided to get back to Tracy, the masked wrestler decided to flip her off. "Oh my, is that how you speak to your elder? You ought to be punished, little kitty~" Dana tut-tutted as she would grab Tracy up, getting her back on her feet. Just like what she did to Aurora earlier, she would get her hand on Tracy's throat, as if choking her before she hoisted her up, displaying her prodigious strength by lifting Tracy with only one hand.

"And here comes the punishment!"

And with that, Dana would try to send Tracy down onto the mat with a powerful chokeslam! It was the move that she used on Aurora earlier, and she wanted to make sure to make her opponent feel what her partner had gone through before. Dana was planning to continue with her dominance, and with Katherine out of commission, she knew that winning this would be quite easy.

[winner3]

Tracy was winded and hurting. The luchadora tried to find some semblance of footing. She had sat up slightly. But after being slammed repeatedly by Dana and kicked in the side, she couldn't make it up to her feet in time to interrupt the veteran's showboating! Dana grabbed The Circus Cat and pulled her up. She chastised Tracy for disrespecting her elders before seizing her by the throat and hoisting her up off the canvas!

Dana showed off that oppressive, almost monstrous strength of hers once by! Just as she had done to Aurora several moments ago, The Matriarch of the Ashford Family kept Tracy airborne with only one hand, letting the hopelessness and bleakness of the situation set in for a moment as she showed off! Tracy kicked a bit as she tried to find some footing. But the boos, jeers, and curses from the crowd would only ramp up as Dana hoisted her up further, only to bring her back down to Earth with a thunderous Chokeslam!

"GAH!" Tracy gasped out breathlessly as she fell to the canvas like a sack of bricks! She laid there with her eyes closed and her mouth agape! Dana spearheaded this public execution of a match with masterful expertise! With little more than a hope and a prayer for The SWAT Cats standing between The Ashford Family and the glory of immortalizing themselves as the second set of LAW World Tag Team Champions!

"Not....yet..." Tracy murmured as she turned onto her back and slowly began to drag herself across the canvas. She pulled herself with her forearms, as she forced herself to try and make it towards the rope of the ring! Such movement couldn't even be described as a crawl! The luchadora dragged herself slowly and sluggishly! It seemed she couldn't move any faster! Somehow, someway, there was a sliver of fight left in her. But she could only do so much. The fans in attendance and even the commentators grew antsy as they tried to will The SWAT Cats back into this contest by chanting for them over and over again!

"SWAT....Cats Rule!"
"SWAT....Cats Rule!"
"SWAT....Cats Rule!"

The audience chanted over and over, hoping that the champs could find a way despite being utterly steamrolled by the challengers the whole night!

[Arjuna]

Dana once again displayed her monstrous strength by chokeslamming Tracy down onto the mat, repeating what she did to Aurora earlier. She stood tall and proud even as the crowd threw their boos and jeers at her. But then, she looked at Tracy, who refused to stay down as she dragged herself towards the ropes. Looking at the masked wrestler curiously, Dana watched and followed her, but she didn't move to grab her immediately.

She could hear the crowd cheering for the SWAT Cat, and she smiled, knowing that the other team was the undisputed group of babyfaces here in this match. "Listen to them..." Dana spoke to Tracy. "They love you. They want you to win. That's how things go here. They cheer the heroes and boo the villains. But sometimes, things don't go their way..." Dana loomed over Tracy before she reached down.

"Sometimes, heroes don't get happy endings..." Dana's smile was no longer motherly. It was predatory, dark and vile. She had embraced her role as the villain here, and if Tracy wanted to blame her for acting like a villain, she should blame those who were watching them. "Your titles will be ours, and there will be nothing you can do about it." Pulling Tracy up, Dana would then drive a hook into her belly, looking to leave her breathless.

[winner3]

Dana Ashford was a force to be reckoned with. With the help of her daughters having softened up two-thirds of the tag team champions, sinister smiling shrew dominated! Tracy had a little bit more constitution than Aurora. After being leveled by Dana with that Chokeslam, the redhead rolled onto her back and crawled slowly.

Dana followed her. The Malicious Matriarch knew that she had Tracy and those titles in the palm of her hand. Seeing the crowd practically gushing and pouring our support in favor of their heroes, the champions, The SWAT Cats- seeing this only spurred Dana further down the path of villainy! The more The Ashfords dismantled the Cats, the more the fans in attendance and around the world wanted to see The SWAT Cats make a comeback! And the more they wanted to see this, the more eager Dana became to deny it from them! Tracy could hear Dana's words, but she could only grimace in pain as she crawled away towards the ropes! The pink and white luchadora grit her teeth as Dana loomed over her. When Dana's tone of voice changed, when she dropped her motherly demeanor, as soon as the smile faded, Aurora and the fans and commentators at ringside feared the worst! No doubt the change in attitude would alarm even Dana's daughters! Dana Ashford had strongly implied that she was about to close the book on this story before even a glimmer of a happy ending could show itself!

"wheeze....wheeze..." Tracy huffed and puffed with her eyes closed and her mouth agape as the heavyweight challenger yanked her up off the canvas! She was forced up and talked down to as Dana clamped a hold onto her! Dana had announced that The SWAT Cats were losing their titles and that there was nothing that Tracy Canon could or the fans could do about it!

"AAAHHHHHH!!!" And The Matriarch's talons dug into Tracy's midsection, as Tracy cried out in pain just a couple feet away from the ropes for several seconds, it was beginning to dawn on everyone that Dana Ashford...was right.

The referee approached to ask for Tracy's submission! Dana's hooks sunk deeper and deeper into Tracy's frame! Holes began to form on the fabric of the luchadora's leotard where Dana's index and middle fingers were sinking into her! Canon's arms fell limp and she leaned forward into Dana's grasp! The striped shirt female official moved in to check Tracy's arm to confirm whether or not Tracy had been KO'd! The referee lifted Tracy's arm up high! The crowd made noise in the hopes of spurring The Circus Cat on! And as Tracy's arm began to fall, the entire arena exploded as a purple-gloved arm reached through the ropes to catch Tracy by the hand!

"If you wanted the heroes to lose, you should have ended my career when you had the chance!" A familiar voice echoed! The camera panned to show that it was none other than Katherine Hart who had somehow willed herself back into action!

Spoiler

With athletic tape covering her injured shoulder and her own confident, signature smile beaming across her face, Kat took Tracy's hand in her own and pulled her into the ropes and away from Dana! With Tracy leaning on the ropes, she provided safe haven for her tag partner- a place that Dana couldn't keep her Claw hold applied!

Kat would hop onto the apron and firmly grasp the top rope! The Super Kitty would gesture to Dana to come at her, and if Dana took the bait, Kat would jump up and lean to the side so that she could swing her purple boot over the top rope to try and nail the villainous vixen in the side of her head with an Enziguiri Kick!

[Arjuna]

Dana's fingers dug deeper into Tracy's stomach like a raptor's talons, and she smiled as she listened to the luchadora's screams of pain. The pain should be unbearable for the luchadora, and she wanted to let it sink that the match would end with the victory of the Ashfords. It felt like as if Tracy's screams were sustaining Dana. It was clear how devastating the move was to the point that many believed that Tracy was rendered unconscious from the sheer pain from the move.

When the referee checked on Tracy whether she was still conscious, Dana relaxed the claw a little, thinking that the match might already be over. But what she didn't expect was Katherine suddenly showing up, as if returning from dead, stopping Tracy's hand from flopping down. Before Dana could do anything, Katherine pulled Tracy away from her, getting her to the ropes. It took a few moments for Dana to recollect herself, and the moment she regained her bearing, she saw Katherine signaling to her to come closer.

Clicking her tongue, Dana would charge towards Katherine, looking to catch her and neutralize her before she could become a problem, but the heavyweight masked wrestler managed to move to the side, avoiding the swipe from Dana before she went over the top rope and delivered an enzuigiri kick right at the side of Dana's head. "URGHH!!!" The kick rattled the veteran greatly, and she fell down onto one knee. She shook her head, trying to recover, but this left her exposed to whatever Katherine would do next.

[winner3]

The entire stadium popped off with cheers abound when The Super Kitty stepped in and made her presence known despite her injuries! The raw energy of the crowd shook the cameras filming the live PPV match as Katherine saved her team from certain defeat by pulling The Circus Cat free from Dana's clutches! The shock of her entering the match so late in the game stunned the referee for the moment. Really it shocked everyone, including Dana! As everyone took in the fact that Hart was somehow still willing to fight and defend the tag team championships and her teammates, she roused Tracy and safeguard her. Once she was sure her partner was still willing to continue, Katherine locked eyes with Dana. She taunted The Malicious Matriarch! And Dana took the bait!

After connecting with a dynamic Enziguiri kick and swinging her foot into the side of Dana's head, Katherine grabbed her partner Tracy by the shoulders and nodded to her. A tear or two rolled down Tracy's eyes and onto her mask. She was overcome with emotion! Her best friend, her idol was not ready to let the tale of the SWAT Cat's championship reign end here! And neither was Tracy! And neither were the fans!

While Dana was reeling and stuck in the kneeling position not far from the ropes, The Circus Cat followed Kat's lead and stepped onto the middle rope before jumping up onto the top rope, and then finally onto Hart's good shoulder! Tracy got some impressive elevation before jumping up even higher by springboarding off The Super Kitty! The redheaded luchadora would get some impressive hangtime as she looked to turn around in midair and leap towards Dana to try and hook her head and take her down with a huge Diving DDT off her now-active tag partner! If Tracy connected with the move, she would roll onto her back. Despite how majestic Canon made her aerials look, she was still very much dazed, downed, and damaged! She'd look up at the lights, her massive chest heaved as she took heavy breaths, her abs visible through the holes Dana had torn into her leotard with that Abdominal Claw hold that nearly did her in!

While Tracy had found a means to dig deep and attempt a big move in the ring, Kat had also found her own burst of adrenaline and energy! She'd turn to the side to find Mara and Toni, both of whom Tracy had knocked off the ring apron several moments ago with a dropkick! Kat would take flight just like her partner and run down the apron before jumping up to try and floor The Ashford Sisters by spreading her arms and attempting a Double Clothesline from the apron to take both blondes down! If both Katherine and Tracy managed to connect to turn the tides in favor of the SWAT Cats, the roars of approval from the crowd would continue as The Super Kitty jogged around the perimeter of the squared circle to find her way to her team's corner. She'd hold her bad shoulder and hobble a bit as she moved, but the energy and the will to fight were there! The fans at ringside could see it and feel it. It resonated with them! Kat would check on Aurora before leaning over the top rope in her corner and hanging onto the tag rope in the hopes of getting the hot tag from Tracy and get herself into this match-up proper as the legal woman for her team!

It would be up to Tracy to slowly come to and crawl her way to the Cat's corner to get Katherine into this contest so that she could put Dana in check and give the champs the fighting chance they needed if they hoped to survive against The Ashford Family, tonight!

[Arjuna]

The enzuigiri had left Dana rattled and on one knee, and she shook her head and rubbed the spot that was struck, leaving her unable to stop both Katherine and Tracy to continue with her momentum. It seemed that both of them were planning to do something while Dana was still reeling from the kick, and when Dana looked up, she saw Tracy getting herself on top of Katherine's shoulder before she leaped into the air, performing an aerial maneuver from the masked heavyweight, using her as a springboard for more elevation.

Still in the midst of recovery, Dana was unable to stop Tracy as she caught her head in midair. Dana was about to straighten herself up when her head was grabbed before she was taken head first into the mat with a diving DDT! "GAHHH!!!" Dana let out a cry of pain as her head impacted against the canvas, rattling her even further and leaving her slumping on the mat, clutching her aching head. The crowd was currently rallying behind the masked wrestlers, and things didn't look too good for the Ashford family.

Speaking of the Ashford family, both Mara and Toni were currently outside the ring, staying out of conflict to recuperate after being knocked off the apron earlier. But as they watched their mother being taken down by Tracy, they didn't prepare themselves for what would come next as Katherine put her focus on them. After assisting Tracy, Katherine decided to jump off the apron, leaping into the air towards them, hitting them with a double clothesline, knocking them down onto the floor.

"AUUGHHH!!"

"WAAHHH!!"

Both sisters were taken down, and they groaned in pain, disoriented by the double clothesline. With Katherine's return, the table had been returned to her team's favor, and things didn't look great for the Ashford family. As Dana remained on the mat, Tracy went to crawl towards the corner, looking to tag Katherine in so that the heavyweight would become the legal woman in the scuffle. And she would certainly make Dana pay for everything she had done to her earlier, with interests!
