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

[winner3]

It was very rare in Kat's career for her to hear one of those chants break out without her having been the cause! The Super Kitty was known for garnering fan support the world over for her actions both in and out of the ring. But right now, it was Alaina that was stealing the show!

In one fell swoop, Alaina took command of the match by overpowering both Katherine and Astrid, Chokeslamming them both into oblivion on the canvas below!

The luchadora had been laid out. She tried to find some semblance of a second wind. But quickly found that her luck in as far as Alaina and Astrid targeting each other more so than they targeted her had run out completely!

Kat clutched her throat with one hand as she tried to draw breath. Her other arm was seized by Alaina as The Amazon pulled her up from the canvas! In no time at all, Alaina threw The Super Kitty towards the corner with a hard hammer throw!

"Grr!" Kat would groan as her back met the turnbuckles in the far corner!

She gripped the top ropes to her left and right to prevent herself from falling or losing her balance with how hard Alaina had thrown her! But it would do her very little good with Astrid being lined up to crash into her next! Kat was a sitting duck in that corner, and if Alaina got her way, The Amazon was going to cleave into both women with a massive Spear in the corner!

[CaptainL]

Everything was happening faster than Astrid could keep track of. She knew that both Alaina and Kat would prove to be formidable opponents, but even then, what she was dealing with now might have just exceeded her expectations. All three women were flying at one another with furious offense, with each move they made surpassing the last in its intensity - and with every blow that landed, the fans could only cheer louder and louder as the action escalated to a boiling point. There was no way to predict who was on whose side; at one moment Alaina was Astrid's ally against Kat, and the next moment the two were enemies! Everyone knew only one thing - they wouldn't dare look away from the ring, lest they miss a moment of the action!

Kat had gone running into the corner courtesy of a whip from Alaina, and even as she struck the turnbuckles, she barely had any time to catch her breath before Astrid followed close behind! The Norsewoman's back slammed against Kat, with an impact so forceful that even Astrid herself was shaken, wincing and sinking lower into the corner. Still, she panted for breath, shaking hair out of her eyes and the cobwebs out of her head. Astrid's heart was racing, and the world was spinning around her. But still, she grabbed at the ropes to either side of her, gripping them tightly to shove herself back to her feet. Her teeth clenched in a determined grimace. She knew that with things moving this quickly, to stay down, and to take her eyes off the match for even a second, could be a mistake she couldn't afford!

In fact, it was just then that Astrid looked up to see Alaina hurtling toward her, her body extended for a spear! For a moment she went tense, a shiver running through her spine at the thought of how much such a collision would hurt. But rather than freeze up in fear, Astrid was gripped with purpose - she knew what she would have to do to keep herself out of trouble! Just then, she reached out to grab Alaina moments before she could make impact! And if Astrid could still her charge, she would suck in a breath, bending low at the knees and hoisting Alaina off the ground to lift her into the air - and throw her back over the ropes with a military press!

[Highfly]

Alaina thought she had these two right where she wanted them, but as she ran in and the champ moved it appeared as though the amazon had gravely miscalculated! She was lift up and her own momentum was her enemy as Alaina reached a high height overhead as Astrid held her up and kept Alaina's momentum going sending her sailing over the top rope! To make matters worse this corner had the ring steps and Alaina dropped from that height down ribs-first onto the steps! "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Alaina screamed loudly, the blood curdling scream echoing throughout the arena!

She rolled onto her side cradling her entire torso as she weakly kicked. Her momentum wasn't stopped it was utterly destroyed. Her ribs were wrecked. She couldn't move or even breathe easily. She was on the ground spasming and convulsing with the wind smashed out of her. Alaina was down and out struggling to recover on the ground let alone stand up anytime soon.

[winner3]

This match had become a full-on warzone!

The alliances between the three women were every bit as fleeting and as temporary as the momentum they were able to get going! Alaina had absolutely taken control. But keeping par for the course with the rivalry between The Amazon and the Norsewoman, Astrid recovered faster than Kat! The heavyweight champion paid Alaina's offense back in spades!

Kat dropped down out of the corner and fell to her knees. She gasped audibly when she saw Astrid take Alaina's charge head-on and hoist the muscular Amazon upward and overhead to set up for a Gorilla Press....only to throw Alaina over the top rope and send her hurtling down onto the steel steps!

The fans broke out into the same chants that they did for Alaina's double chokeslam! The crowd went ballistic! Kat knew that Astrid could really dish it out, but seeing such carnage firsthand spoke to the champion's grit! Astrid was willing to dig as deep as she needed to in order to make a statement and cement her legacy in tonight's main event! And where other wrestlers might have seized up with awe and fear of Astrid's strength and wrestling acumen, The Super Kitty immediately sprang into action

"Hup!" Kat let out a quick grunt as she bolted towards Ostberg from the side and hooked an arm over the taller blonde's waist!

Kat didn't give Astrid or this moment any time to breathe at all! She embraced the champion from behind, quickly tying her up into a Waistlock! Kat would clasp her gloved hands together! She interlocked her fingers and pushed Astrid forward towards the ropes in front of her! The luchadora would use the momentum from bouncing off the ropes with Astrid to roll backwards!

Any other technical wrestler would have rolled backward and over Astrid to look for an O'Conner Roll to try and steal this matchup! But Kat went the distance in her own way! Rather than let go of the Waistlock and sit on the backs of Ostberg's thighs, Kat kept a firm grip on Astrid's core! She'd fully commit to the roll and look to roll back over Astrid's heavyweight frame to get the balls of her feet back on the canvas near the center of the ring! Kat would use the momentum from the roll to try and swing Astrid backward and overhead with a beautifully executed Rolling German Suplex with a bridge!

"RAH!" Hart would roar with conviction as she committed to the move!

If Kat managed to bring Astrid down onto her upper back and neck, she'd point her toes and flex had chiseled abs! She'd keep her grip on Astrid firm as she looked to pin her with this German Suplex! Kat would grit her teeth as she strained herself to keep her Waistlock applied! If she got her way, the referee would step in to start counting any second! Despite her efforts here, Kat fully expected Astrid to kick out between the second and third counts! And if the champion did, Kat would use the momentum from the kick out to her advantage! She'd keep her hands locked and bring herself and Astrid up to a standing position! She'd keep the Waistlock applied so that she could go for yet another German Suplex! Another bridge! And another pinning predicament for the LAW's heavyweight champion!

[CaptainL]

Astrid's incredible strength had been on full display all through this match, and this was no exception! Alaina was by no means a small woman, and yet, Astrid had managed not only to grab hold of her enough to control her momentum, but to launch her right over her shoulders and send her crashing down into the floor below! The crowd cheered and gasped at such a feat; Astrid glanced over toward them for a brief moment to smile, and she nodded her head in recognition of their praise. But the Norsewoman didn't stop to bask in the glory. She couldn't afford to - Alaina might have been dealt with, but Kat was still on the loose, and no doubt she would have even more trouble in store for Astrid. The champion soon turned her attention back toward the ring, her body going tense as she prepared herself to meet whatever challenge awaited her. And sure enough, there was Kat Hart, coming charging right back toward her!

Astrid attempted to get her arms up to grapple with Kat, but it was too late. Before she could so much as flinch, the luchadora's arm swung into place around Astrid's side, keeping her locked in place! Kat's speed and agility had proven to be a valuable asset, giving her some much-needed mobility that was lacking in many women of her size. Astrid still hadn't quite adapted to dealing with an opponent who was as quick as she was heavy-hitting! She barely had any time to process where she had ended up before Kat shoved her forward, bouncing her off the ropes - and using the momentum to flip herself backward, rolling over her foe!

Astrid gasped, her eyes going wide with shock as she suddenly found herself swung head over heels. And not only did Kat roll off of her, she kept that momentum going! She pressed her feet against the mat, shoving off of it to lift her up - and swung Astrid over her shoulder in the process to slam her head and shoulders right into the canvas! Kat was strong enough already, but with all the momentum of the roll behind her, she was able to deliver her opponent's head into the mat with the force of a sledgehammer. Astrid wouldn't even have time to let loose a shout before her head fell against the mat with the sound of a thud!

Her body buckled against the impact, the vibrations running through the ring and up into Astrid's body. Her eyes were glazed over, and her head was spinning, as she sank lower into the canvas with a groan. Astrid could barely tell where her legs were - she certainly wouldn't notice as Kat managed to hook her leg, pulling it back to get her into position for the pin! But sure enough, the referee started counting...

"One! Two!"

But it would take more than that to take Astrid out. Her endurance was just as valuable to her as her strength, and before long, she managed to come around, shaking the haze out of her head just in time to look up and see the referee's hand lifted for the third count! The arena was watching with bated breath, waiting to see if this was the moment the title just might change hands. But Astrid wouldn't let things end that easily! She still had some fight in her, and she was going to use it! Clenching her teeth, she let out a roar of defiance, pushing her hips off the ground as she bucked to kick free of Kat's grip!

And yet...Kat was prepared for that! She didn't let go. She would only pull Astrid up after her - and then flip her into another German suplex, slamming her right back down! Once again, the ring rumbled, and Astrid dropped down flat with a yelp. Once again, the fans let out a cheer as the ref slid into place. "One! Two!"

But this time, Astrid had already faced a close brush with defeat. She knew what Kat was prepared for, and if she hadn't gotten away with it the first time, Astrid wasn't about to hand it to her the second time! This time, she'd be ready! Once again, the Norwegian bucked up from the mat, kicking free of the pin. But as she sucked in a breath, Astrid realized that kicking out of Kat's pins wasn't doing much to slow her down, if she would just make another attempt. She would need to have to go harder on her if she wanted to keep her down! This time, while Astrid's legs were in the air, she would throw them around Kat's head before the masked woman could get off of her - and swing her hips over to the side to try and bowl her over with a hurricanrana! If that worked, she'd hold the pressure tight around Kat's temples, focusing on holding in a headscissor!

[winner3]

Alaina was still on the outside hurting. The medical staff at ringside tended to The Amazon to see whether or not she could continue the match or if she'd have to be taken to the back to get patched up. Being thrown from the ring to the steel steps outside wasn't something most wrestlers could bounce back from, even The Amazon. But that wouldn't stop Astrid or Kat from continuing this contest! Rather, with Alaina sidelined, this was perhaps the biggest opportunity either of the other women had to go uncontested and win the match!

"Almost, almost!" The Super Kitty spurred herself on as she pushed herself to Suplex Astrid as many times as she needed to in order to make a dent in her!

The legendary luchadora struck as hard as she did fast! With each Suplex and with each pin, the referee counted, the crowd counted, the commentary team counted as Kat came close to victory with back to back near falls! Despite folding up Astrid neatly and convincingly, the Heavyweight Champion willed herself back into this and hung on not once, but twice! Kat made every attempt to stay in motion! And Ostberg proved she had the grit to hang in there regardless!

Kat bridges back with the second Bridging German Suplex! Her and flexed visibly! Her toes were pointed against the canvas! Her expression focused as she kept one hand over Astrid's waist and the other gripping the back of the champ's thigh! The Super Kitty looked for all the leverage she could find to try and put the second-generation legacy wrestler away! The lights beaming down from the rafters accentuated the features of both women as the referee counted! And yet, despite all of Hart's efforts, the second kick out was even more forceful than the first!

"You're tough!" Kat remarked as Astrid broke free! She had placed had palms at her sides against the canvas beneath her. She tried to sit up.

As much as Kat's consecutive pin attempts drew on Astrid's stamina by forcing the champ to kick out, keeping this offense coming took a toll on her as well. By now, Kat was visibly sweating. She tried to sit up following the kick-out. And she managed to do so for only a second before Astrid's thick, strong thighs found their way around her head, stifling her momentum completely!

"Gah!" Kat would grunt as Astrid's legs enveloped her head!

The hold would see Kat fall down onto her back! She'd reach for the ropes, but they were a fair distance away! As Astrid slowed the match down here, commentary and the audience would arrive at the same conclusion. Where Kat could try hard to match power with the champion and with Alaina, and where she held an edge in speed and perhaps technique, taking punishment wasn't her forte. The Super Kitty could take quite a bit, but she wasn't built like your prototypical heavyweight wrestler. She wasn't built like Astrid or Alaina! Kat would struggle in this Headscissor hold for more than a few seconds! She gripped Astrid's shins to try and part them, but no dice! After about ten seconds, her movements and her resistance would slow to a crawl. Her breathing became conspicuously labored! Should Astrid keep the hold clamped on tight, the referee would kneel down to ask Kat for her submission, to which Kat would come alive and wag her index finger to refuse!

"I don't think so!" Kat would answer as she gripped Astrid's thighs and pulled them down from her head to her neck.

This would only make things worse for The Super Kitty in the short term! She was short of breath as it was! But should she manage to slightly change Astrid's grip on her, Kat would rear her head back and make every effort to turn around and face Astrid! Unlike her typical crisp, impactful movements, Hart's repositioning here would be slow and labored. It would take a lot out of her if she managed to face the bigger Norwegian blonde head-on. Kat would be prone on her stomach. Her cheeks would be flush against Astrid's inner thighs. Her face was nearly flush with the champion's mound. For a moment, it would be difficult to make out what Katherine was going for. But if left uninterrupted, the masked heavyweight would suddenly push herself up to all fours and make it very clear!

"Grah!" Kat would grunt as she looked to crawl forward and kick off the canvas with her legs and flip over Astrid to try and turn the tides with a Jackknife Pin to try and force the champion to abandon the hold!

[Highfly]

Alaina was on the outside and she pushed herself to her hands and knees stumbling towards the ring apron before crashing down and rolling onto her back. On full display between the top of her briefs and bottom of her top was a darkening black and blue covering most other mid-section. She gasped for breath and knew she had cracked some ribs at the very least in a best-case scenario. Potential torn muscle or broken ribs was a possibility. She was down and hurting, unable to even stand up while the other two went at it, content to completely ignore her.

Aside from going on a brief tear Alaina felt like she was double teamed or just left to get laid out while the others went at it. Was she really undeserving and an underdog unable to compete with these two? So far in the match her doubters had much more fuel for their fire than her supporters did and right now there wasn't anything she could do as she again tried to stand only to fall back down to her hands and knees.

[CaptainL]

It was a true display of Kat's strength as she managed to throw Astrid head-first into the canvas with suplex after suplex. Despite the Norsewoman's impressive physique, Kat could toss her around as though it was effortless! With every time the champion was tossed head over heels, coming crashing down into the mat with a ring-shaking thud, the crowd cheered even louder at the sight of Kat's dominant streak. Yet just as impressive as Kat's strength was Astrid's endurance and willpower. No matter how many times Kat was out to punish her, and no matter how hard she hit each time, Astrid had it in her to kick out of every one of the luchadora's pins! For Astrid, there was no other option. When it was her championship on the line, she had sworn to fight as hard as she could to defend it, and her honor! When both contenders for the title were just as capable of keeping her on the ropes, she knew she'd have to work for her victory!

By the time Astrid powered her way out of the second pin, her head was still spinning from the landing. The world around her was blurred, and the room seemed to teeter back and forth. She needed to pant a few times, taking in deep breaths to draw the air back into her lungs, in order to center herself. But when she did, she looked back up at Kat, and she smiled wide. "Why, thank you," Astrid muttered, nodding her head. She knew her endurance was one of her greatest assets, and she was always honored to know it was being recognized. All three women in this match had a healthy respect for one another, for all they had accomplished and all they were capable of. But that wouldn't mean anyone was going to go easy on their foes! Everyone was pushing themselves to their limit when the ultimate prize hung in the balance!

Sure enough, Astrid wasn't about to let the momentum up for a second! Her head was still throbbing from where she'd struck the mat, but she couldn't let that get to her. If she had to slow down, she would just resort to moves that would let her keep control of the action from such a pace. She wouldn't even need to get back on her feet to make her next attack - something she aptly demonstrated, as her legs swung into the air to latch into place around Kat's head, squeezing it with a powerful headscissor! And just moments after Astrid had secured her hold, she rolled her weight over to the side, bowling Kat down after her! The luchadora would land with a thud - but Astrid wasn't going to stop there. Now that she had Kat right where she wanted her, the force with which her legs squeezed around her head would only grow stronger!

Astrid clenched her teeth. Her brow furrowed and the veins in her neck bulged as she focused every intent she had on wringing everything she could from this headscissor. She had Kat in her clutches! If she could keep this up, she was sure her victory was all but assured! All she needed to do was to outlast Kat's endurance. But with each passing second, Astrid felt like she was growing closer to her goal - and her heart was racing with excitement at the thought. This was it!

She could feel Kat adjust her grip on her, moving her clenched thighs down toward her neck, but it wouldn't make any difference to Astrid - she glanced momentarily over her shoulder to keep track of what her foe was doing, but either way, she'd still be inflicting crushing force, so she didn't see any reason to be concerned! Even as Kat turned around in place, she was still moving sluggishly and laboriously, which told Astrid that her efforts were working. She was sapping the strength from her opponent; with enough time, she'd burn through. She could feel the ticklish sensation of Kat's face grinding against her inner thigh, and it made her legs tremble a moment, but still she wouldn't let go. She only squeezed her hands tighter into fists, drawing on all the strength she could. Every muscle in her body was tense and bulging. She had to make this work!

At last, though, Kat's attempts at resisting would finally overpower Astrid's fight to stay on. The masked woman kicked off, and she rolled over Astrid - pulling her legs along with her in the process to fold the Norsewoman in half! With a gasp, she landed onto her shoulders. Astrid could no longer hold on against the momentum of Kat's escape, and with her legs pressing down into her chest and abdomen, she once again found herself at risk of a pin - which the referee just as soon took note of, moving in for the count!

"One!"

But Astrid wasn't about to let Kat get so close to victory this time around. This time, when she swung her legs up to kick out, it would only be after a one-count. She would try to throw Kat off of her from the force with which she kicked out, bucking her hips as she threw her legs into the air, while at the same time using the momentum to propel herself into a backward roll. This way, she would try to get some safe distance away from Kat before rising to her feet, panting for breath and shaking herself out. Sweat dripped from her brow as she stared back toward her challenger. As much as she'd been able to pull off so many close calls, Astrid would need a moment to collect herself before she was ready to go at it again. But in the meantime, she'd keep an eye on Kat, readying herself for whatever might come next.

"You know," she said, in between gasps, "you're not so bad yourself..."

[winner3]

For the pomp and circumstance leading into this match, all the interviews, all the promos, all the social media posts, all the clamor, this was the very first time The Super Kitty had locked horns with the likes Astrid Ostberg. Hearing about how capable the woman was, seeing her matches on streams and recordings, studying her moves- those were all one thing. But actually throwing down with her was another!

Astrid was every bit as tough as she was strong. Every bit as well-poised and professional as she was hard-hitting. Every bit as intense in the ring as she was vigilant and hard to put away. She had just kicked several pinfall attempts, and she was still able to leave Kat with a sore neck and some heavily depleted stamina for her troubles. This was the sheer might, the sheer grit, and the sheer wrestling acumen of LAW's Heavyweight Champion.

Kat took all this in as she thought along the same wavelength as Astrid and looked to get a safe distance away from her opponent. Not that she had much of a choice. The sheer force of Astrid's kick out sent her rolling towards the ropes anyhow!

Kat would kneel by the ropes and catch her breath. She wasn't quite running on empty yet. But if she kept this pace up, she knew that she'd get there. Hart at Astrid across the ring. There was finally a moment of reprieve amidst the non-stop action and back and forth between them. For a second there, it felt like a moment of silence. Until the crowd went nuts and cheered for the women in the ring! It was in that moment that it hit Kat. That wrestling Astrid right now felt a lot like wrestling Alaina Sanders in her prime. Her gaze peered through the ropes beside her. Alaina was reeling, hurting.... The only reason Kat was stepping on the gas so hard during the last couple minutes was precisely because this would be perhaps the only window she had to try and win while Alaina wasn't part of the equation. At this stage in her career, The Amazon had some doubters. And more important than that, Astrid had proven more than once that she was capable of beating Alaina at her own game. To some of the less savvy, presumptuous fans and "experts", the woman that was currently sidelined at ringside was better off staying there and considering possible retirement plans. But Kat's relationship with Alaina ran deep. She knew that Alaina wasn't at liability, not to herself or anyone else. No, that Amazon down there was a ticking time bomb. And to Kat, it was paramount that she find a way to get one over on Astrid before Alaina could go off on the both of them!

"Heh...thanks!" Astrid's words snapped Kat out of her introspection. Soon, it would be time to get back to work! And she knew full well that if she waited for Astrid to make the first move, the heavyweight champion would absolutely punish her for it!

"Years of practice!" Hart would grip the middle rope and pull herself up to her feet. She massaged her neck. She adjusted her mask. She knew she'd be feeling the effects of this match for weeks to come. But Kat continued to press on!

The Super Kitty would begin to circle the ring. But not with a slow, deliberate pace. No, Kat would meet Astrid head-on in short order!

"And years of championship wins!" A determined smile formed on the luchadora's face as she closed the gap between them and looked to lock up!

If Astrid met her in the middle of the ring, she'd soon confirm for everyone what Kat already knew. Kat would grit her teeth and plant her feet! But slowly, she'd be pushed back! Astrid was the stronger woman. But as everyone took that in, that wouldn't stop Kat from trying to take Ostberg by surprise by dropping down and looking to capture Astrid's legs between her own with a Drop Toe Hold!

[CaptainL]

Astrid rolled off to the side, getting a safe distance from Kat. The Super Kitty's reputation preceded her, and Astrid wasn't about to stop for a moment to doubt any of her accolades. In fact, Kat had shown her more than enough to confirm she was every bit as capable as she was hyped up to be, and every bit worthy of all the titles she had held in her career. With that in mind, Astrid was going to need to stay on her toes if she wanted to stand a chance against her! But as she picked herself back up, dusting herself off and firming up her muscles in preparation to head back into the action, Astrid's eyes locked on Kat's in a watchful glare. If Kat made any sudden moves, Astrid would be ready for them. Certainly she would have to be, what with how quick, and how hard, her opponent could strike!

For a time, the two of them slowly circled one another, strafing around the edges of the ring. Both women wouldn't take their eyes off their opponents - they were waiting for one to make the next move. But even if Astrid lay in wait, the battle between them was still raging - they both knew that, and so did everyone in the stands. Every step they took was moving into position, trying to set up an advantageous point to attack from. Every moment that passed was one in which their eyes were locked and their breaths were held in anticipation. They both knew that their opponents would take only the utmost limit of their abilities to put away, and they had to be ready to bring their worst!

Kat moved in closer, going for the lockup - but Astrid was willing to meet her head-on. She stood up straighter, rising to her feet and moving to grab her by the hand for the test of strength. No sooner did that happen that Astrid sucked in a breath, and all the muscles in her body bulged as she summoned the force she would need to steer her opponent back! Her fingers wrapped tightly in between Kat's own, and her shoulders shoved forward to try and ram Kat backward a step. Soon enough, Kat would teeter back, her balance tested under Astrid's forward momentum. It was as anyone could have expected - Astrid surely had the advantage when it came to size and strength, and Kat's mobility could only counteract that so much. The Norwegian smirked to herself, pleased with her efforts. Had she considered the obvious outcome of such a lockup, Astrid might have been able to predict that there was more to Kat's plan that met the eye. But she would be reminded of that soon - as Kat dropped to the mat, grabbing Astrid's ankle and bowling her off her feet!

Astrid let out a gasp as she fell back, plummeting through the air to land against the canvas with a ring-shaking thud! The blow had knocked the air out of her lungs, leaving her panting for breath as she tried to shake the cobwebs out of her head. Kat had certainly bought herself some time with that move. But Astrid's eyes soon narrowed in determination and defiance as she looked back up - she wouldn't let that be the end!

"I think you'll find I'm not just strong..." the champion began, flexing the muscles in her legs to try and get some force behind her. If that worked, she would swing her weight over and kick her leg, trying to flip Kat over in the process, and slam her into the mat after her! "I'm tough, too!" Astrid was willing to fight through whatever Kat had lined up for her if it meant getting closer to her goal, and she was confident she could turn the luchadora's efforts against her!
