Upon completion of this match, a panel of judges will decide if the match will count towards each participant's required Apex Qualifier matches

Location:A LAW Arena in San Jose, California


A simple Twitter exchange is how this all popped off. Oftentimes, interactions between wrestlers on the social media platform seemed harmless enough. But LAW stars took themselves a bit more seriously than others. Some wrestlers were quite strong-willed. And when strong personalities collided, when a path towards the biggest prize in the business, the LAW Openweight Title was on the line, emotions ran high and rivalries sprang forth! And tonight was the beginning of a heated rivalry between LAW's own Sienna Smith, and the hotshot newcomer Nerissa Labong!

LAW Twitter Beef

After a back and forth that saw Smith seek out a stepping stone and Nerissa seek out a fight, the two agreed to petition management for a hardcore Apex Qualifier match in Nerissa's hometown! The crowd was hot to see both women, but it would be undeniable that Nerissa would have the home-field advantage, hailing from this town!

Sienna Smith

Sienna's theme song started up as she appeared at the top of the entrance ramp and made her appearance! Despite not being the hometown hero, she flexed and posed and amassed swaths of cheers all over the arena! With her confidence and sex appeal alone, Sienna had always commanded a following! Some pyro went off as her theme song played and she strut her way down the ramp confidently, blowing kisses to the fans along the way! Sienna confidently his a stride up the steel steps. And as she did, the announcer's introduced her!

"The following contest is a Hardcore Apex Qualifier match! Making her way to the ring, standing in at 5 foot 7, weighing in at 155 pounds! One of LAW's brightest rising stars! Sieeeeeeeeennnnaaaaaa Smith!"

Smith would climb her way up the apron and duck through the ropes before taking her place in the center of the ring! The bronze-skinned beauty looked as toned and as for as ever, clad in nothing but her usual green and black bikini! She'd beckon the officials at ringside for a live microphone ahead of the match and when she got it, Sienna wasted little time!

"San Joooseeeeeee!" She called out! The audience roared in response!

"I've only been here a day or two but I gotta say I love it here! Great food! Great people! Clean city!"

"And it's about to get a whole lot cleaner after I send that trash Nerissa packing and work my way up the ladder at LAW Apex, baby!" Sienna's insult here drew both cheers and boos!

Sienna paid little attention to the judges at ringside. She'd look towards the entrance ramp expectantly as everyone in the arena and everyone watching at home awaiting the arrival of her opponent in this Qualifier match!

“By the way, I wanted to ask you,” Nerissa said, finishing the warm-up, “do you really have nothing else to do except to come with me to the other side of the world?”

Sarcasm could be easily heard in the words of the native American woman. However, despite the mocking tone, this question was really interesting to her. Nerissa knew that her manager took her work as seriously as possible, but still she was very surprised when she found out that Victoria would accompany her during this trip. The manager put the documents aside and adjusted her glasses before answering her ward.

“It seems to me that you don't see the big picture,” Victoria said, “every girl and woman that I have taken into my team is truly unique, and I try to do everything in my power to provide each of you with the best matches that will help the audience see you as I see.”

Nerissa, sitting in full split, looked over her shoulder and slightly raised her left eyebrow. She gave a slight shrug and then got to her feet. She had never met a woman like Victoria in her life. Perhaps the biggest barrier for her was the fact that the Englishwoman was almost her complete opposite. Victoria followed strict rules in almost everything, while Nerissa herself refused to even accept such a concept as rules.

“That doesn't explain why you're here." She said, heading to the locker. “Our team stayed in Tokyo and, therefore, it would be more logical if you were next to them and not here with me.”
“Let me finish.” Victoria said, intending to give her ward an exhaustive answer. “Despite the fact that I care about all of you equally, I, as a manager, am obliged to prioritize.” The Englishwoman took off her glasses. “You, Astrid and Charlotte are the faces of our team, you have received incredible support from the audience.” Victoria became much more serious, it was evident from her look. “The three of you are similar to the same extent as you are different, but you all have the same goals, you all want to reach the top.” Contrary to Nerissa's expectations, the manager smiled slightly. “Now Astrid and Charlotte have a short break before their next matches, so I can more than afford to accompany you, one of the main and promising faces of my team.”

The Native American woman was ready to admit that she did not expect such an answer. She's not used to this attitude. She spent most of her life right here, in San Jose. And she always took care of herself only by her own efforts. In underground wrestling, you don't need a manager who will follow you like shadows. And the only person who can support you is yourself. Nerissa took a large Pride flag and tied it around her neck. When she turned to Victoria, there was a smile on her face. It was just a momentary weakness, because in an instant this smile turned into a smirk. The Native American woman punched her left palm with her right fist.

“It sounds like I have no choice but to meet your expectations,” she said, “it's time to kick someone's ass!”
“I don't expect anything else from you,” Victoria said.

Nerissa left the locker room and headed down a long corridor. She never intended to leave San Jose forever, but she didn't think she would have to come back here so quickly. Of course, she wasn't some real local celebrity. But still, thanks to long years of bloody matches in underground wrestling, she had a certain reputation. First of all, she met with her family and old friends, who were obviously inspired by the fact that one of Nerissa's matches would be held in her hometown.

She went into the waiting room and stopped in front of the curtains. Right now, her opponent was approaching the ring. Nerissa grinned. This was the second time she had found a rival using Twitter. Her debut was loud, bloody and perverted. Today she would have to forget about the third point, but she didn't see that as a problem. Today. Here. She was about to enter the third qualifying match. And she was going to make sure that no one in her hometown forget it. Nerissa's long tongue ran over her thin lips.

“I'm going to take everything I want!” she said to herself.

Attire

Absolutely all the lights in the arena went out. The audience began to whisper, many even began to worry, suspecting that some kind of technical failure had occurred. But then three deafening chords rang out, causing the walls of the arena to shake. Three consecutive, but extremely short flashes of light allowed for a few short moments to see the silhouette of a woman wrapped in the large Pride flag and standing with her back to the audience. Literally one moment of silence and darkness, and then three flashes of light accompanied by deafening chords made it possible to see that Nerissa turned over her shoulder and that there was a wide and truly malicious smile on her face. Three loud chords and three flashes of light made it possible to see that she turned to face the ring. Three loud chords and three flashes of light made it possible to see how she majestically spread her arms to the sides and raised them up.

The spotlight fell on the Echidna, who began to descend the ramp with a confident step. Her whole appearance expressed the steadfastness of her spirit. The arena was filled with shouts and applause. It's not every day you can see something like this. But do not forget that this is just the beginning. Nerissa was unique in every sense and she was never shy about showing it. She enjoyed every look that was now riveted on her. When the Native American woman almost came close to the ring, the light in the arena completely disappeared again.

And when the spotlight was turned on again, Nerissa was already squatting on top of the turnbuckle. The audience was making noise like a swarm of wasps, but the Echidna's gaze was focused exclusively on her rival. The woman's eyes were slightly narrowed, and there was an unnaturally wide smile on her face. A hawk that has found its prey. There was no other way to describe it. There was no fear in her eyes, only anticipation.

Nerissa took a leap forward. The pride flag began to rustle due to gusts of air, and the light fully returned to the arena only at the moment when the Echidna landed on her feet. She straightened up to her full height and again spread her arms to the sides, accepting the applause of the audience. Nerissa untied the Pride flag and raised it high above her head at the moment when the ring announcer took the floor.

“Straight from our city, from the great San Jose! She burst into the LAW federation like a hurricane! An ardent defender and representative of the LGBT+ community! Five feet five inches tall! Weighing one hundred and nineteen pounds! The one and only! Nerissa! Echidna!! Labong!!!”

If not the whole city, then several nearby blocks could hear the roar of the audience cheering Nerissa. After making a short lap of honor, showing everyone the Pride flag that best reflected Nerissa's life principles, she stopped in the corner to leave the flag there. Her music was coming to an end and she had one more thing to do.

The Echidna came to the center of the ring and, looking her opponent straight in the eyes. She raised her right hand to show the horns gesture. Nerissa's thin lips were stretched into a smile from ear to ear. She had been waiting for this moment. She wanted this match. She wanted to let everyone know what she was worth. And now she had the opportunity to look at her rival in all its glory.

It was easy to see that Sienna was superior to Nerissa in height and weight, because she was from the next weight category. But it didn't matter to the Echidna. She believed that the bigger the closet, the louder it falls. Besides, she was much more interested in something else. Her rival had a very unusual and very attractive appearance. Nerissa felt something stirring inside her. Now she was a little sorry that there was no official permission for hentai in this match. However, despite everything, her intentions remained the same.

“Ready to be with my foot on your chest at the end of the match?" she asked, licking her lips with her long tongue.

[winner3]

Sienna wasn't privy to the relationship between Nerissa and her manager. At this point, Smith didn't know about her opponent belonging to the same team as Astrid and Charlotte, all being managed by Victoria. To the beautiful black babe in the ring, the feisty Native American woman was exactly what she referred to Labong as when they first addressed one another on LAW Twitter: a chump and a hotshot rookie that was in over her head! One that Sienna could use as a stepping stone in the qualifiers! Another wrestler that Sienna would enjoy dominating during her quest to become Inaugural LAW World Openweight Champion!

As the lights went out and Nerissa's distinct, imposing theme song blared on the stadium speakers, Sienna put her hands up near her own shoulders and pantomimed as she pretended to be scared of this girl. The harsh chords of the tune didn't seem to bother Smith in the slightest, nor did the shaking caused by the base in the music.

When The Echidna finally appeared in full view, she flashed her wicked smile for all to see! Her body language communicated her own brand of confidence, not unlike her opponent! Sienna eyed Nerissa as she made her way down the ramp. The flag in particular stood out to her. It was just another thing that made the vibes and energy Nerissa brought with her to the ring, unique. As the girl made her way to the ring, Sienna leaned forward and placed her hands on her knees. Smith winked at Nerissa from beyond the ropes. And just after blowing her kiss, the lights went out yet again!

When the lights came back and vision was restored once more, Sienna would be standing fully upright with her hand on her side and her hip cocked to the side. She rolled her eyes in annoyance as The Echidna descended from the top turnbuckle!

Once the music finally faded out and the two had taken their place in their corners per the female referee's instruction, Sienna would notice Nerissa's gesturing and giggle.

"Hehehe! You're funny, little girl! You know that? All this posturing! All this fanfare! For a little lady that's wrestled a very small fraction of the number of matches I've wrestled in this company!" Sienna snickered.

"After I beat you in your hometown in front of the most supportive crowd you'll ever have, you won't have to worry! I won't let you feel like a total chump. I'll take you out after and you can show me around the town! Maybe you'll be better at being my tour guide than you are at being a wrestler, yeah?"

Sienna's taunting garnered boos from the Nerissa fans in attendance, but she didn't seem to care. Sienna would blow a kiss to the fans before looking across the ring and blowing a big one towards, Nerissa!

When the bell finally rang out, Sienna would shift her demeanors right away and make a beeline for the smaller woman! She didn't waste any time starting off the match in a slow or traditional fashion! Sienna looked to make good on her promise to lay this "chump" out by abruptly charging in at her foe in an effort to corner Nerissa by thrusting her shoulder into the lightweight's toned midsection and forcing the Native American's back into her corner with a mighty Spear!

[skip-stop]

Nerissa has never changed her principles, finding the study of rivals before the match something superfluous. Pro-wrestling was her passion, only a really tough match could wake up the fire in her. And she believed that such an effect can be achieved only when you don't know anything about your opponent. Nerissa knew that some people spend a huge amount of time preparing, reviewing matches and memorizing the style of a potential opponent. Being in all weapons is far from a bad idea. But for the native American woman, it was much more interesting to find out what her opponent was capable of, not in advance, but right during the match.

Therefore, everything she knew about Sienna was limited to the number of the matches that the dark-skinned woman had behind her shoulders. In addition, Nerissa had an idea of her rival's temperament, especially after their skirmish on Twitter. However, now that they were face to face in the ring, the Echidna understood exactly where the wind was blowing from.

Sienna showed confidence in her abilities with all her behavior and every word. And, of course, the words about the number of matches did not escape the attention of the Echidna. Again. Again and again and again. Nerissa wasn't the only one in their team who didn't understand why the argument about the number of matches is used so often? Each of the rivals that Nerissa had to meet in the LAW ring had a much more impressive number of matches than she did. But who said that number of matches is enough?

"Remember every word you said, please," Nerissa said, licking her thin lips after Sienna's words, "I want you to try to repeat them at the end of the match."

Of course, Nerissa always entered the ring with the intention of winning. But at the same time, she was not devoid of rationalism, the Echidna understood that not every match can be won. But there was one thing she knew for sure. Hardcore and hentai are as natural to her as air. And even if she doesn't win today, she will do everything necessary to knock enough shit out of the head of this brazen bitch, who decided that she had the right to throw such words in the direction of Nerissa in front of the audience of her hometown, who came to support her.

Everything was exactly as Nerissa wrote on Twitter. She really loved such brazen bitches who thought they were on top of the world. There has never been any authority for the Native American woman. And one of the greatest pleasures she could get in those moments when she got the opportunity to put someone in their place. She could see that Sienna treated her with the utmost disdain, considering her nothing more than a loud newcomer. Well, the Echidna was going to check if this would change towards the end of the match. It really promised to be interesting.

The Echidna shifted her right leg a step back, and then raised her half-bent palms. The spectators around began to buzz, anticipating the imminent start of the match. Well, there was a show waiting for them today, there's no doubt about that. Nerissa nodded to the referee, making it clear that she was ready. The third qualifying match. One more step. A step towards the goal. Nerissa took a deep breath.

Ding-Ding-Ding.

The smile on Nerissa's face instantly widened. Not because the arena was filled with deafening screams from the audience, but because Sienna took off from her ground, rushing towards the Echidna like a locomotive. It seems this dark-skinned woman liked to take risks. Such explosive movements at the very beginning of the match always had a chance to make the opponent numb. Nerissa was really able to appreciate the enthusiasm of her rival. But if Sienna was hoping to catch the Echidna off guard, then she should have come up with something more serious.

Instead of standing still, Nerissa rushed towards the dark-skinned woman. A counterattack wasn't the best solution right now, but Nerissa needed some speed anyway. For what? In order to push off from the mat, soaring into the air. The Echidna intended to spread her legs to the sides in order to completely jump over her opponent, thus leaving her line of attack.

Inertia is a great thing, especially when you know how it works. The speed that Sienna took wouldn't have allowed her to stop right after Nerissa evaded her attack. And even if she could avoid a collision with the corner, she would have to spend some time trying to stop completely. It was this time that Nerissa was going to use.

As soon as the Native American woman landed on her feet, she would turn towards her rival. Pushing off from the mat, she would start running towards Sienna again. But this time, not in order to evade her attack, but in order to show the dark-skinned woman what a truly explosive attack is, because Nerissa was going to make a jump, intending to first bend her legs at the knees, and then straighten those legs right into Sienna's head with an sudden corner dropkick!

[winner3]

Moments before the bell sounded and the action got underway, the commentators at ringside sized up both women and their resumes! LAW was one of, if not the single biggest and most prestigious wrestling promotion in the world. Many men and women from many walks of life from street fighters to hardcore wrestlers in major promotions, from complete newbies to established stars in major promotions, LAW was the world stage in wrestling today. Having had such a vast array of wrestlers from all over the globe and having had arenas and events all over the world, having even a few matches at LAW was wrestling experience that outweighed most men and women's entire fighting careers elsewhere! How many women were champions here and there, but signed with LAW and went on to do absolutely nothing and fade into irrelevance? The reality was that each new woman who signed with LAW had a strong possibility of being yet another pretender wanting a paycheck! And for Sienna and a lot of skeptics, this match was a chance to find out if Nerissa, who hadn't yet proven herself at LAW, was one of them!

"Hrgh!" Sienna grunted as she ran in, only for her opponent to show off some impressive agility and flexibility by leaping up and spreading her legs, completely evading the bikini-clad babe and her charge!

A less experienced wrestler would have paid for being too overeager! Fans and commentators alike expected that Sienna would crash face-first onto the middle turnbuckle and start this match off on the back foot! But Sienna had nearly 15 matches under her belt in this company; most of which were wins, too! She had risen to prominence with strong showings on PPVs on the main card! She had the wherewithal to grab hold of the middle ropes and stop herself! Smith heard the fans cheer Labong's athleticism! She quickly turned around.

"Heh, guess you're not a total bag of wind!" Sienna said as she acknowledged internally that The Echidna was more than just as another loud newcomer. But the moment Sienna stood upright and found her foe in this Qualifier, Nerissa's pair of boots found the dominant diva!

"Ugh!" Smith grunted as she turned around and was met with a Dropkick!

Nerissa was the smaller and shorter athlete in the match. And yet still she was able to quickly run and jump high enough to aim a Dropkick at Sienna's head! Sienna barely reacted quickly enough to bring her arms up in front of her! But she still ate the brunt of The Native American's strike! The force of the Dropkick saw Sienna get pushed back hard into the corner! The sound of the middleweight toned back and ample curves meeting the turnbuckles in the corner reverberated off the mics at ringside! The fans in San Jose let out another loud cheer as their hometown hero connected with the first strike of the match! But Sienna was nothing if not stubborn!

"HRAH!" Smith used the momentum from being launched into the corner to quickly burst out of it with a dash! Inertia was indeed a great thing. Something that Sienna could make use of as well while she was still fresh in this matchup! The bell had rung just seconds ago, and yet the action in the ring was as kinetic and competitive as you would expect from these two promising stats!

Sienna would burst out of the corner and use the momentum from being pushed by Nerissa's Dropkick to quickly run at the cute Native American wrestler and attempt to catch her as she was rising up off the canvas with a Running Knee to the head!

Regardless of whether or not Sienna's strike landed, she'd stop a few steps past her foe and shake her forearm to get some feeling back into it after enduring that Dropkick! Clearly, the two of them were bent on having a stiff, hard-hitting hardcore match!

[skip-stop]

Should the Native American woman have felt extra responsibility because of the fact that she was in her hometown right now? Of course, this played a very important role. Nerissa had no right to fall into the dirt in front of those who supported her. Her family was here. Her friends were here. This was the place where it all started. Not only Nerissa was born in this city. The Echidna was born in this city.

But even all this was not the reason why Nerissa was in the ring right now. No matter what anyone thought, but Nerissa did not defend the honor of her city. She wasn't here for some noble purpose. She never considered herself a hero or a villain. She was in the ring right now because she fucking loved it. Many people live in a cage, limiting both themselves and their desires. Nerissa has never held back her passion, which has always been her engine. The native American woman promised herself a long time ago that she would live the way she wanted. She was never going to do something she didn't like. And pro-wrestling was what she liked the most, with all her heart.

Although Nerissa wasn't going to deny it, today she received a real gift. Women like her current rival are very rare fruits. She could see that Sienna underestimated her. And it was difficult for her to descibe it, but it caused the native American woman to have two feelings. On the one hand, it irritated her insanely, because Nerissa sincerely hated it when someone looked down on her. But on the other hand, it filled her mouth with saliva. Why? Because she knew that no matter how this match ended, she would do everything necessary so that Sienna would not forget this meeting.

And the way this match started was a clear hint that this night would be very long. Having decided to start the match in a more than explosive way, the dark-skinned woman was faced with Nerissa's obvious unwillingness to be pierced with a spear immediately after the bell rang. Using both speed and flexibility, the Echidna literally soared into the air under the excited shouts of the audience, dodging the first attack of her opponent.

In many cases, Nerissa adhered to very simple principles. One of these principles was that if she had the opportunity to attack, she always used that opportunity. Therefore, as soon as she landed on her feet, the first thing she did was turn around, and then used her speed again in order to get to her opponent as fast as possible.

Contrary to her expectations, Sienna turned out to be very agile and despite not the most successful spear, she was able to avoid a direct collision with the turnbuckle. In the place of the Echidna, many would have thought several times about whether it was worth taking the risk and continuing to act according to her plan. But now Nerissa wasn't going to stop. Even if it was a mistake, she was willing to pay for the opportunity to hit the dark-skinned woman for her frivolity. Use a spear at the very beginning of the match? Even if Nerissa wasn't such a proud woman, she would have taken it as an insult.

Therefore, without any doubt, she pushed off from the mat again, and then sent both feet straight into her opponent's head. Because of the high speed, it was difficult for her to see everything in detail, but she still managed to notice that Sienna managed to raise her hands in order to cover her head. Because of this, Nerissa's feet crashed into the forearms of the dark-skinned woman. However, the Echidna was ready to swear that even this would be enough. Given the speed she took, even a blocked dropkick will give her opponent a lot of unpleasant sensations. At least Nerissa was sure that Sienna should hit herself in the face with her forearms before crashing her back into the corner behind her.

It was with such thoughts that Nerissa fell to the mat. At the same moment, she heard her opponent crash into the corner, which made her smile briefly. She believed that this was a new opportunity to continue the attack. Therefore, she put her palms near her head, and then pushed off from the mat in order to jump into an upright position. However, as soon as the Echidna's feet touched the mat again and she was in a low start position, her pupils dilated for a moment.

Contrary to her expectations, Sienna wasn't in the corner recovering from the effects of the dropkick. Not at all. Instead, the dark-skinned woman was moving straight towards her, or rather she was already less than a meter away from the Echidna, and her right knee began to rise up. Even without her instincts, Nerissa was able to put two and two together. The Native American woman abruptly exhaled all the air that was in her lungs while throwing her hands up.

"Gh..." a strangled groan escaped from her mouth.

If it wasn't for her forearms, she would probably have gotten profuse nosebleeds. Sienna's knee slammed into Nerissa's ulnas. The impulse was powerful enough that the forearms of the Native American woman crashed into her face, causing the first painful sensations. Her upper body leaned back and due to the speed the Echidna rolled back over her head. It seemed that in this way she could roll to the ropes, but after the first roll, she straightened her legs, throwing them back and forcing herself to stop.

Once again in a low start position, the Echidna dropped to one knee. Without taking her eyes off her opponent, she raised her right hand and touched the place just to the right of her lips. The skin in that place was barely noticeably abraded, which caused a small, but still a drop of blood to appear. The Echidna removed this drop of blood with her middle finger and looked at it. Oh, this is really going to be interesting match. Her gaze returned to Sienna, who was flexing her arms after the dropkick. Nerissa's unnaturally long tongue got out of her mouth and she licked a drop of blood from her finger, after which her lips stretched into a wide smile.

Words were not needed here. Instead, Nerissa rushed forward, clenching her fists. First blood was for her rival. And if someone thought that this was an excuse for Nerissa to slow down, then this person should think again. The audience clearly liked such a dynamic start to the match and the Echidna liked it too. Therefore, the only thing she was going to do was to rush into a new attack.

Shifting first to the right and then to the left, she wanted to spread her opponent's attention at least a little. It was a classic of boxing, which helped a little to prevent the opponent from predicting exactly where the first punch would come from. For the same purpose, Nerissa constantly shifted the position of her fists, she did not want Sienna to be able to react in time. Especially considering that Nerissa wasn't going to use her fists. What?

Yes, exactly. At the moment when the distance would have been suitable for sending the first punch, Nerissa would have pushed off the mat with force in order to make a dash forward, raising her right knee. She was going to throw both hands forward in order to try to grab the back of the dark-skinned woman's head and thereby lowering her upper body. Nerissa was determined to hit Sienna's chest with what in wrestling is usually called a high knee strike! However, usually this strike does not require the back of the opponent's head to be grabbed. In this case, it was only necessary so that, if successful, Nerissa would have the opportunity to send a few more furious knee strikes to Sienna's chest area, holding her down!

[winner3]

The match had barely just begun, the two women in the ring had hardly interacted before the bell. They barely knew each other. And yet, with just a few moves, with just a few blows traded, one aspect of the dynamic between the two women was quickly becoming clear: they both loved a good fight!

Sienna had overcome the feelings of being stunned in the corner with her foe's Dropkick! She had abandoned defense for more offense, exploding out of the corner in the hopes of catching the lightweight with a Running Knee!

The sound made by the impact of Sienna's blow echoed out! Smith could tell that her knee didn't hit Nerissa flush against her face. The Echidna had the reflexes to block. But being a weight size down from her opponent meant that she certainly felt the brunt of it whether she blocked or not. The crowd looked on with concern as the blow saw Nerissa roll backward before coming to a stop! Sienna shook out her forearms and then rolled her shoulders. Just like Nerissa, it didn't take long for her to get her eyes back on her foe, back on the challenge that was right in front of her, and back on her stepping stone in her journey to make it to Apex!

"Huh?" Smith would react with surprise as she witnessed Nerissa collect a single drop of blood from her forearm with her middle finger. It took Sienna a second to figure out exactly what her opponent was up to. And all too soon, it became quite clear! Any other audience would have reacted with concern, but this was no ordinary audience! This was San Jose, California, Labong's hometown! Fans all over the arena cheered as Nerissa licked a drop of her own blood!

"You're a bit of a freak, huh? Remind me to sit on your face after I beat you, yeah?" Sienna would say as she observed Nerissa's absurdly long/large tongue.

Sienna didn't get a chance to relish in the crowd's reaction to her words, as much as she would have liked to. No, Nerissa was every bit as primal and as wild as this display would lead viewers to believe! Not even a second was spared following Sienna's reaction! The Echidna was back on the attack right away!

"Hm?!" Sienna brought her fists up and guarded as Nerissa suddenly bolted towards her! Smith had seen lots of action wrestling for LAW over the course of her career here, but a woman with such odd moments as Nerissa wasn't one of them! Smith's eyes darted to her left, then her right as Nerissa came at her in an odd pattern! She tried to close the gap and get her hands on the lightweight! But Nerissa was moving with even more purpose and confidence than before!

"What?! Urgh!" The buxom, bikini-clad bombshell grunted as Nerissa grabbed hold of her and drove her knee up high into her chest! Sienna's breasts bounced comically as Nerissa caught her off-guard!

"Gah!" Smith grunted in pain as yet another of Labong's knee strikes found its way into her sternum, and then another! When Nerissa's knee came down a third time, Sienna would embrace the girl around her waist and look to answer Labong's offense by trying to throw her overhead with a Belly to Belly Suplex to try and put an end to these incessant strikes!

[skip-stop]

Ah, it seems Sienna has begun to understand something. Of course, she smugly used far from the most pleasant word, but the essence was absolutely correct. Nerissa really considered herself a unique woman and she was absolutely not shy about showing it. She believed that there was something in every person that set them apart from the crowd. The only problem is that most people are afraid to show what they have inside. Fear of being misunderstood. Fear of being rejected.

The Native American woman did not feel this fear. Self-expression is the most important thing in her life. Therefore, she never suppressed her desires. Therefore, she never hid what was inside her. Therefore, she never gave up on what she wanted.

And it seems that Sienna had thoughts about what she wants to get at the end of the match. Nerissa's face under her ass. Perhaps it was difficult to imagine something more humiliating even if it was just a common match. But considering that they are now in Nerissa's hometown... oh, such a finale would surely be a real celebration for the dark-skinned woman, symbolizing in all its glory the superiority of a veteran over another newcomer.

Was Nerissa ready for such a finale? You have to be ready to pay for the right to be the best. In an attempt to reach the top, no one is immune from defeat. And Nerissa knew that defeat could be waiting for you at every turn. But who's to say that she won't fight like an angry beast for the sake of Sienna's words remaining just words?

Approaching her rival, the Echidna had only one goal. To break into Sienna's space and this time make sure that the dark-skinned woman could not immediately respond to her attack. Nerissa understood that due to the superiority in pure strength, Sienna would gradually gain more and more advantages if every time things went according to the scenario where Nerissa strikes first, and then Sienna responds in kind.

Therefore, it was necessary for the Echidna to be able to make several attacks in a row. And she had the means to do it. Trying to trick the dark-skinned woman with boxing technique, Nerissa pushed off from the mat, raising her knee. And this knee found the target. It slammed into Sienna's chest, causing her to let out a painful groan. And the fact that the Native American woman grabbed the back of her rival's head clearly indicated that she did not intend to stop.

Nerissa continued to send hard knee strikes to Sienna's chest area. She didn't care at all about the fact that one of those strikes could have flattened the breasts of the dark-skinned woman. Although, of course, the main goal of the Echidna was the center of her opponent's chest because she almost literally wanted to knock the air out of her lungs. Without air, Sienna is unlikely to be able to offer any resistance, which was extremely necessary for the native American woman to continue the offensive.

And it seemed that the Echidna was making progress in this. Knee strike. Another knee strike. Given the fury with which she acted, it could be assumed that Sienna really should have serious breathing problems. Nerissa had already started to raise her knee for the third time, but suddenly she felt the arms of the dark-skinned woman wrapped around her waist.

"What the..." sounded a thought in her head.

Even before the Echidna had time to do anything, Sienna lifted her above the mat. And the moment she leaned back, simultaneously turning to the side, Nerissa realized what was waiting for her. She had no chance to group up in order to alleviate the consequences that were already waiting for her. However, she strained her fingers harder in order not to accidentally let go of the back of her opponent's head.

"Gggaahh!!" she cried out painfully.

Her back slammed into the mat, which was painful in itself, but the pain was even more hard due to the fact that Sienna's body put additional pressure on Nerissa. A discharge of pain passed through her body, which not only caused her to let out a scream, but also to lose concentration to some extent. Damn, that bitch was really tough. It was the second time she had responded to Nerissa's attack with an equally heavy attack. This went against what the Echidna was counting on.

She understood that she would have no chance to gain an advantage in the match if she did not achieve what she was trying to achieve by sending knee strikes to Sienna's chest. So she will have to try again to make several successful attacks in a row, because in fact it was her only chance. But now, lying under Sienna, there was no question of a new attack.

Now the priority was to take the distance, because in such close contact, the dark-skinned woman had a clear advantage due to her larger sizes. That is why the Echidna made an effort not to let go of the back of Sienna's head after a hard suplex. A fighter must think a few steps ahead. And, despite the pain, Nerissa was going to move her arms sharply to the side in order to throw Sienna away from herself.

Although even if successful, this would not guarantee safety, especially considering that so far Nerissa would hardly be able to get back on her feet quickly. Therefore, if she really managed to throw her opponent aside, then immediately after that she would make several rolls to the other side. Yes, her goal was to leave the ring in order to get at least a few seconds of respite, because after such a heavy fall it was vital for her.

Both ladies were quite free-spirited and embraced the parts of them that set them apart from others. But the trait they did share in common was their sense of competitiveness! There could be only one winner of this Apex Qualifier! And ultimately, there could only be one LAW World Openweight Champion! Sienna had every intention to get there by winning match after match in dominant fashion. She was growing fond of Nerissa's spirit. But that didn't change the fact that Sienna was indeed trying to make the story of this match out to be one where the veteran humbles the newcomer by soundly defeating her in her hometown! Time would tell which woman would prevail and make good on her words!

"Grrr..." Sienna would groan after hitting her Suplex!

Sienna had tried to toss her lightweight rival a fair distance. But Nerissa seemed to be every bit as stubborn as Smith was! Because her opponent had tried so desperately to hang into her, Sienna would end up coming down right on top of Labong!

"Ngh!" The bikini-clad bombshell would react when Nerissa shoved her and put some distance between them.

In truth, despite being in an advantageous position on top of Labong, Smith was in any position to attack again right away. Even after Nerissa got away, Sienna clutched her chest and winced in pain. She cursed under her breath as she saw The Echidna seek refuge outside of the ring.

Sienna wasn't one for strategy. In her mind, she was simply better than the grand majority of women on the LAW roster! What need did she have for strategy? Especially when she was up against someone that was new to LAW? It never occurred to her that Nerissa was capable of making a game plan on the fly, let alone that she'd form one against Sienna, specifically! The Native American girl was right, to do so, of course. Trading move for move and strike for strike with a bigger, heavier opponent wasn't the path to victory. But if you were to ask Sienna, Nerissa had no path to victory!

"Where ya goin, girl? It was just getting good!" Sienna grunted as she looked to roll under the bottom ropes and meet Nerissa at ringside! Sienna would look to lay hands on the brunette and grab her by the hair in the hopes of forcibly pulling her to the apron and bashing her head on it a couple of times to take control on the outside! All the while, the crowd would loudly boo Sienna's efforts here! If she did manage to take control, she'd rub her hands together before winding up an audibly loud spank while her opponent was doubled over! Sienna would turn to the fans in the front row and declare: "What? Y'all booing cause y'all jealous?! I get it all to myself! During AND after this match!"

[skip-stop]

The retreat was not what Nerissa was used to. However, she was not an idiot. Staying under Sienna or even next to her after such a heavy suplex would be an unforgivable oversight. Everyone has instincts, but not everyone uses them. A fighter does not just should to, a fighter must to use them. Therefore, instead of exposing herself to unnecessary danger, the Echidna decided to leave the ring in order to catch her breath.

As soon as her feet touched the concrete floor, she immediately covered her chest with her left hand, while her right hand rested on the edge of the ring, because the Echidna needed support. It was difficult for her to breathe evenly because of the pressure that had recently hit her chest. She could say that she was used to fighting rivals who were superior in weight and height, because she often had to do it while underground wrestling was her home. However, that didn't mean it was easy. The chest pain after the Englishwoman's suplex was the best proof of this.

However, Nerissa did not have time to rest, because her rival was ready to continue. Having thrown a rather caustic phrase about the Echidna's retreat, Sienna rolled under the bottom rope, leaving the ring too. At this point, Nerissa should have snapped back, but instead her left eyebrow barely lifted. Why? Because Sienna started just getting closer to her, and her intentions were clearly far from the kindest. And that made Nerissa a little surprised.

While Sienna was rolling out of the ring and walking towards her, Nerissa probably would have had time to make herself a cup of tea and drink it. Did her opponent really think that the Echidna would just stand and watch as she grabbed her head and started hitting it on the edge of the ring? Or did she think that after the suplex, Nerissa only had the strength to leave the ring and that after that she would no longer be able to offer any resistance? Naive. Very naive. Because it was fundamentally wrong.

"Hm..." Nerissa made a short sound with a smile on her face.

As soon as Sienna's hands reached for the Echidna's head, she made a pendulum movement with her torso down and to the left. A complex, but very effective boxing technique that allows not only to avoid an attack to the head, but also to change the position relative to the opponent. However, now Nerissa was not going to box with her rival. Instead, if she had really managed to avoid the Englishwoman's hands, she would have straightened up to her full height, turning to the right at the same time. What for?

In order for her body to receive the impulse that she was going to send to her left leg. The Echidna intended to make a short swing, sending a left low kick straight into Sienna's knee joint. In this way, she wanted to upset her opponent's balance and force her to go down slightly. It seems this brazen bitch was going to smash Nerissa's head on the edge of the ring, right? Well... Nerissa wasn't going to test her feelings after such a collision, but she would be very interested to hear Sienna's opinion about it. Because if she really managed to kick her opponent's knee joint, then immediately after that she would grab her head and smash it against the edge of the ring with undisguised fury!
