"Phew..... That's a lot, huh?" Katherine's voice echoed throughout the arena. The lights dimmed. But the light from the giant monitor in the arena persisted.

The ring announcer had just finished explaining the many stipulations of tonight's main event. It was a mouthful for sure. But with each word, you could feel the tension and the air in the arena thicken. On the screen, the image focused on Kat Hart, who was seated in front of an interviewer backstage. One of the esteemed golden LAW World Tag Titles was fastened around her waist. Kat sat with this interviewer with her usual confident, endearing smile. From the atmosphere in the footage that was playing, it seemed to be prerecorded and made especially in anticipation of this match. It was a short video package to set the tone going into this huge contest!

"It's a lot because it was to be..." Hart would assert in a slightly more serious tone.

"Kat..." The interviewer responded.

"With all due respect, Dana's stacked the deck against you with stipulation after stipulation. She seems...particularly bent on destroying you, on putting the finishing touches on her already vast legacy by building that legacy on top of yours at LAW Apex. Why agree to all of these rules?"The lady asked the toned luchadora. Kat bit her bottom lip and nodded.

"It's simple. It goes without saying, but Dana's pretty much a legend in this sport. She's dangerous. She's manipulative. She's a predator." Kat would direct her focus to the camera as this video continued playing on the titantron in the arena.

"Dana, you've done more inside and outside of this company than most people will get to do in their entire wrestling careers. Anyone worth talking to in the world of wrestling knows how good you are. I've experienced it firsthand."

"We Are LAW 5, Dana jumps me and The SWAT Cats." A highlights reel played over the events Katherine described, her voice dubbed over it.

"The Ashfords answer our challenge and become number one contenders for our titles. They jump us and though all three of them are good, Dana in particular just... completely blew through us...in the most one-sided SWAT Cats match there is to date."

"Later on she became the number-one contender for the heavyweight title and challenges Astrid Ostberg, having a strong showing there, as well."

"Sometime after that, we promo, me and her, and she throws down the gauntlet at me for LAW Apex. As far as stipulations go, this is probably the most lopsided match I've ever been challenged to, period." Text ran across the screen. No Disqualifications. POW. Title Belt Confiscation just to add insult. The World Title possibly being in the balance.

"The Smiling Demon, as they call her. She's bent on ruining me and I think I know why. It's because sooner or later, Dana is going to get that massive win that catapults her into what will probably be the biggest and most dominant run of her career, which is insanely impressive given she's been doing this for so long...."

"Dana, you see me as quarry. As the game most worthy of hunting at LAW but that's not why I'm doing this. It flatters me in a way, yeah, but that's not why I accepted these match stipulations for my Apex match with you, no."

"I accepted because I have proven time and time again that no matter what my opponents throw at us, us SWAT Cats, we can and will overcome, both individually and as a unit. I know I can win this match against you because the very first time you and I shared a ring together Dana, you tried to use me as a stepping stone and I. Did. Not. Let. That. Happen."

"When we first met, I told you that so long as I draw breath, I will not let you have your way with me, these titles, or this company. And I am more than happy to put everything on the line for a chance to prove that to you again by beating you for a chance to become World Openweight Champion!" The video finished with an image of the two women facing off from their promo. With Kat holding her tag title belt high.

Entrance Music

Kat Hart

Pyro went off as The Super Kitty appeared at the top of the entrance ramp! Light emanated from behind her, illuminating parts of the legendary luchadora's statuesque physique! Soon light flooded the arena, revealing Kat Hart and the legions of fans all over! The cheers the woman got were deafening! Kat undid her title belt from around her waist and held it up high!

This contest was on everyone's radar! The commentary team at ringside went over The Super Kitty's many accomplishments at LAW! There truly was this pervasive feeling that Kat was one of, it not the best wrestler at LAW and in the world of wrestling today!

The Super Kitty began marching down the ramp. She stopped to take a selfie with a fan. And as good feelings swelled up all around from Kat's entrance, as the commentators went through the tale of the tape and compared the feats of both women inside and outside of the company. But partway through this breakdown and this entrance...

"UNGH!" Kat had gone down! As she stopped to appeal to more fans on her way to the ring, disaster struck! And her name was Dana Ashford!

[PrinceArjuna332]

Dana arrived without warning. Despite her size, she was able to skulk around without anyone noticing, which was something that she had learned at some point of her illustrious career as a professional wrestler. She kept her head low, even wearing a black jacket with a hood on over her wrestling outfit. It helped that everyone's attention was on the Super Kitty who was currently engaging with the audience. Dana smiled as she got closer, moving past the audience, expertly maneuvering herself through the crowd, approaching Katherine from her blind spot so that she would not be able to see her coming.

When Katherine was busy appealing with her fans, Dana would make her move. Coming from behind the masked wrestler, Dana closed in and delivered a vicious forearm smash to the back of her head. The attack was so sudden and without warning that the audience didn't even expect it from happening. Having struck Katherine down, Dana would dramatically take off her jacket, revealing her signature leotard underneath. Standing over Katherine's downed form, Dana smiled as she tossed aside the jacket, letting the audience to take in everything of what just happened. It took no more than three seconds before the crowd started throwing boos and jeers at the Smiling Demon.

Dana Ashford

"Don't you remember, Katherine? You are my quarry, and I intend to hunt you down." Dana said amidst the boos and jeers from the crowd. Then, she would bend down, grabbing the Super Kitty up before forcing her to get back up to her feet. In order to disorient the masked wrestler even more, Dana would throw another forearm smash to her face so that she would not be able to fight back. From there, she would start dragging Katherine towards the ring, planning to continue her beating on her inside the squared circle. Meanwhile, the referee couldn't chastise Dana for what she had done, because the match hadn't even started yet.

[winner3]

No one could have foreseen exactly where and when Dana would come from, least of all Kat! No one put it past the Malicious Matriarch of the Ashford Family to strike this way, but how and when would be anyone's guess!

A vicious forearm to the back of the head sent Kat down onto her front on the entrance ramp on her way to the ring! In a scene reminiscent of their first meeting, Dana emerges from Kat's blind spot and floored her with a stiff blow! For a moment, there was mass panic and confusion! One moment, Kat was signing a poster for a fan in the front row and the next moment, the luchadora was down on her front, still and unmoving! A taller figure in a black jacket loomed over her. There was a half-second where the commentators that would be calling the match called for security. It took mere seconds to Ashford to part with her jacket and reveal herself, prompting everyone all over the arena to boo just as loudly as they had been cheering for Kat Hart earlier!

"Ngh!" Kat groaned as she pushed herself up to all fours and took in what had just happened.

The Smiling Demon had made her presence known. She proudly doubled down on her intentions while taking in the fan's reactions! Dana proudly stated that she was here to hunt her quarry, and with that she right back to work on The Super Kitty!

"D-Dana!" Kat would protest as her rival pulled her up*! Kat balled her fist and reared her arm back to begin fighting back, but Dana beat her to the punch and rocked her with yet another hard Forearm! This time to the face!

"GUH!" Hart's head would snap to the side for a moment! She'd stand there in a daze before Dana began herding her down the ramp and towards the ring!

The fans began to rally behind Katherine! The officials at ringside, the referee, the commentary team, and everyone that could speak on this in an official capacity spoke ill of Dana's actions. But none could argue that she was quite dominant and quite effective! Even if the referee could separate the two superstars, there were very few grounds for her to! The match was set to be No Disqualifications. Even if Dana had waited for the bell, everything she was doing was entirely legal!

When Dana threw Kat into the ring, presumably under the bottom rope, the legendary luchadora would come to life! Kat would use her momentum from being chucked into the ring to quickly push herself up to her feet and break out into the run towards the ropes furthest away from Dana! The Super Kitty would look to pick up speed and make a return trip to vault over the ropes and come down on Ashford with a Somersault Plancha!

Fans all over the arena would rally as a look of focus, determination, and indignation formed on Kat's face! Her blue eyes came alive as she looked to turn the tides! If the aerial to the outside connected and Kat stuck the landing, she'd pop up to her feet and undo the golden tag team belt that was fastened around her waist! Kat was bent on not letting things go down the way they did the last time they met! If Hart managed to turn the tides here, she'd stand over Dana and raise her belt high, prompting the fans to fill the arena to the brim with cheers!

"Dana Ashford!" Hart would roar!

"I am your quarry!"

"But today, you will not slay me!" Hart would declare her intention to survive and win this matchup.

"You will not tame me!" She'd assert that she had no intention of becoming this woman's prisoner!

"You will not take my belt!" She referenced the final stipulation for the match. The bell had still not yet been rung.

"And I'll see to it that you will not take the Openweight Championship!!!"

[PrinceArjuna332]

Bringing the disoriented Katherine to the ring, Dana hen pushed her into the ring under the bottom rope. But right after she shoved her into the ring, with Dana being ready to join her as well, looking to climb up the apron, Katherine quickly came back to life before she immediately began moving. Dana was about to bring herself up the apron when the luchadora vaulted over the ropes, hitting Dana with a somersault plancha!

"URGHHH!!!"

Dana was taken down to the floor thanks to the move, and her momentum had been thwarted. She could tell that Katherine was standing over her, unfastening her belt and hoisted it up before making quite a bold declaration. Shaking her head, Dana would push herself up to her knees before she looked up. This time, the smile on her face seemed more predatory, showcasing what the Smiling Demon truly was.

"T-that's more I like it..." Dana would begin rising back up to her feet. "I have no use for a meek prey. Show me what you truly are so I can dismantle you in front of everyone, Katherine Hart!" Dana let out a yell, which was pretty rare coming from her. Assuming that her rising back up was unimpeded, Dana would bring her head closer to Katherine's, their foreheads bumping together as she would look straight into the Super Kitty's eyes.

"I am going to enjoy this..."

[winner3]

The crowd roared as Kat turned the tables! The Super Kitty stood tall! She stood up to the malicious Matriarch! And it didn't take long for Dana to meet her gaze! The stadium teemed with hype and anticipation as Dana got up and pressed her forehead against Kat's own! In this moment, Ashford showed her true face! That unnerving smile that she had come to be known for throughout her career! The woman seemed to lose herself now that her hunt had begun. It was the most deranged and the most sinister tone and demeanor that most fans had seen from Ashford! She seemed fully amped up!

Dana was the taller, bigger woman. Kat was forced to look up at the older veteran. Their impressive busts and bodies pressed up against one another as the electricity and air between them intensified! Kat's breathing quickened. She let out a growl. Slowly she pulled her forehead away and titled her head towards the squared circle beside them, gesturing towards it.

"Then do it in that ring! Let's go!" The masked woman answered back.

Kat kept her eyes on Ashford and slowly backed away. For a brief moment, she'd have to turn away to slide under the bottom rope and enter the ring! If uninterrupted, Kat would hand her belt to the referee presiding over the match. She'd rub the side of her head that Dana had struck earlier. The Super Kitty would take her place in the center of the ring, hoping to meet Dana there. With The Super Kitty's pride and well-being hanging in the balance with World Title implications emanating from this match, with her desire to prove once and for all that she could stave off any and all of Dana's efforts to grind her and the world of wrestling beneath her heel, the Legendary Luchadora would lock eyes with her rival! Katherine's own eyes would burn bright with conviction as she awaited the sound of the bell to kick off what was shaping up to be the biggest singles match in either woman's career!

[PrinceArjuna332]

Dana had already made her point here by ambushing Katherine when she made her entrance. Now, the real fight would begin. Even as Katherine pulled back, the two of them were still looking into each other's eyes before the masked wrestler moved slowly towards the ring, entering the squared circle. Dana would wait until Katherine was in the ring before she followed suit, climbing up the apron and slipping through the ropes, joining the other woman in the ring.

Once they were in the ring, their eyes met once more. Dana smiled, as per usual. It might look like always; the kindly smile that one could always see on a matronly housewife, but here, such smile didn't hide the overwhelming malice that she fully directed towards her rival. Tonight, the Smiling Demon would be fully unleashed, and she planned to break Katherine Hart and turn her into a stepping stone, which would certainly bring her to a new height. This was Dana Ashford in her most villainous, and the crowd showed their displeasure by booing her.

As both women kept staring into each other's eyes, the referee made sure that both of them were ready. And then, the bell was sounded, starting the match between Dana Ashford and Katherine Hart. Still retaining her smile, Dana held her hands out, readying herself to lock up with Katherine in a test of strength. While Dana wasn't above doing underhanded things as she did earlier, she saw no need for that here. She wanted to show her strength to everyone, especially to Katherine. She saw no need to cheat here, at least not at this point.

[winner3]

The two women met each other in the ring, their eyes locked onto one another with an intensity and a focus that could be felt all over the arena! In Katherine's eyes burned the determination of a woman that many all over the world had come to know as the face of this company! Roars of support from the crowd could be heard left, right, and center! Super Kitty chants broke out! You didn't need announcements and introductions to know who this legendary luchadora was! Fan-favorite, main eventer, reigning and defending champion, a paragon to many in the world of wrestling and beyond, many consider her a household name.

And staring into her eyes was a veteran with nothing but ill intentions! Dana Ashford had a storied career. There was little she hadn't seen or done in this sport. But even with all she had accomplished, as far as her run at LAW so far was concerned, many argued that this was her biggest match and her biggest opportunity yet! And that didn't scare the malicious nature woman in the slightest! In fact, it spurred her on! There was a special aura about Dana tonight. A look and an air to her expression that LAW fans hadn't yet seen from her. This version of Dana Ashford fully embodied her Smiling Demon persona! The look on her face showed just how unhinged The Matriarch was ready to become in the wake of her match against Kat Hart! Where some women would crack under the pressure of being in a match of this caliber, Dana seemed to salivate at the thought of crushing her biggest opponent yet, on quite possibly the biggest stage yet! Even before the bell, it was clear that Dana pushed herself to new heights! And with that ascension came boos and disapproval from a multitude of Kat Hart fans!

The only noise that permeated the noises of hype and tension, the boos and the cheers, was the sound of the bell! And just seconds after it, Dana showed initiative! There was no haughty laughter, no tutting, no humming. The Super Kitty looked into those villainous eyes. She observed that wicked smile. Kat steeled herself as Dana held up her hands in what seemed to be an offer for a Test of Strength! An offer that Hart accepted right away!

The luchadora let out a soft grunt as she intertwined her fingers with Ashford's own! Kat Hart was one of the hardest hitters and perhaps the most dynamic wrestler in the heavyweight division or in LAW, period! But Dana was both bigger and taller! The moment she made contact with Dana, it was clear to Kat that somehow this rivalry between them was pushing Dana to bring more to this match than she had brought to any of her previous opponents! And Kat was intent on pushing herself to meet Ashford at each and every turn!

"Hrgh!" A more audible grunt left the luchadora's lips as she parted her hands and pushed forward! She'd lean into Dana and once again press her forehead into the Matriarch's own! Kat grit her teeth with effort! Should Dana match her, her hands would begin to tremble due to the force of the both of them pushing against one another!

Kat would try to lean in further! She'd bring her head beside Dana's own! She'd lead with her upper body! Both women's voluminous busts would press against one another as both women vied for control! Should Kat succeed in pushing forwards she'd look to bend Dana backward and slide her knee underneath Ashford's back to assert control! But even with her chiseled physique and impressive build, this was a long shot! Kat was giving up height and size to Dana in this singles match! And Dana, herself, was no slouch when it came to power! With leverage on her side, Kat knew deep down that she could find herself being forced to take several steps back if she were forced to face the reality that when they were both giving it their all, no matter how much the crowd rallied and no matter how hard Kat tried, Dana Ashford could outmuscle The Super Kitty!

[PrinceArjuna332]

Even as Katherine accepted the offer for the lock up, Dana did not stop smiling. Both women started having a test of strength with each other where the two of them started pressing themselves against each other, their busts pressing against one another. At the same time, with them pressing their foreheads against each other, they were staring into each other's eyes. Dana could see the masked woman's determination, and it was admirable. There was a reason why Katherine Hart was admired by many.

And Dana Ashford couldn't wait to see those eyes filled with despair.

Feeling her opponent pushing her back, Dana let out a grunt, withstanding the push and standing her ground. The crowd jeered and booed at her as they were rallying behind their favorite, Katherine Hart. Of course, for the Smiling Demon, that would not matter. The matriarch would then begin increasing the intensity of her push, looking to overwhelm her opponent with her sheer power. Katherine might have fan support and burning determination. It would make sense that many would like to see the fan favorite prevail.

But Dana Ashford had prodigious strength that only a few could match. She might have diminished slightly due to her age, but to think that Dana had become weaker would be a folly. Here, Dana was displaying the pure strength that she was well-known for, and she sought to bring the Super Kitty to her knees. The wicked matriarch sought to show it to everyone that in terms of pure strength, Dana Ashford was virtually unbeatable. There might be a few that could match her, but Katherine Hart was not one of them.

[winner3]

Fans sounded off as these two heavyweight Amazons went at it! Kat Hart and Dana Ashford pit strength against strength! They locked eyes with one another! Their bodies and their curves pressed together as the both of them pushed forward to gain some ground and to win out over one another! Their hands, their thighs, their busts, and their feminine forms quaked with force as fought to match each other whenever their opponent turned it up a notch!

There were brief moments where Katherine had an edge and gained some ground, but iron sharpened iron!

"Ngh!" About 30 or 40 seconds into this exchange, Kat began to wince with one eye open! She grunted with strain! Her breathing nearly stopped! Not once did the determination in Hart's eyes waver! But even with all The Super Kitty chants, the tag team champion could feel the lust for power and dominance growing within her opponent!

Dana didn't just have famously prodigious strength, she has size and height to give her leverage against Kat! And a longtime veteran like her was going to make every effort to use these things to her advantage! It took time for her to work her way up to the heights of her strength, but after going back and forth with The Super Kitty, The Malicious Matriarch bore down on Katherine with visibly oppressive force!

"NGH!" A sharp grunt slipped through Kat's lips as she was slowly brought down to one knee! Her eyes were still locked onto Dana's! She could feel Dana's killer instinct growing! Kat's other knee soon followed! Fans in the front row began to express worry! But the moment they did, Hart shifted gears!

"Not yet!" Kat would cry out as she shifted from pushing to pulling! Quickly, the luchadora would change her strategy and shift to more dynamic and deft movements! Where Dana had prodigious strength, Kat Hart had impeccable technical ability in the ring!

The legendary luchadora would lean back and bring her back to the canvas! She'd bring her feet in front of her and look to press the soles of her boots against Dana's core to try and flip the bigger blonde overhead! Should Kat succeed, she'd very quickly turn over and rise up to her feet! The match had only just gotten underway! Even with the ambush before the bell, both ladies still had much to give! When Kat got up on her feet, she expected Dana to follow suit quickly! And when she did, Hart would move in, expecting Dana to do the same!

If all went according to plan, Kat would look to quicken the pace and grab hold of Dana's arm to take her down once more with an Armdrag! It was another quick takedown. One that wouldn't cause lasting damage, but would give Kat momentum if it connects! And if it did, Kat would rise up to meet Dana once more, this time primed and ready to try and take Ashford down with a Side Headlock Takeover! If Kat got rolling here, the crowd would rally behind her as she looked to stay on top of Dana this time and lay across the bigger woman's chest! Should Hart get her way here, she'd skillfully distribute her weight while keeping the Side Headlock applied to try and go for the first pinfall attempt of the match! Much to the crowd's excitement!

[PrinceArjuna332]

Dana continued putting pressure on Katherine, making use of her prodigious strength to its fullest. The veteran was not holding herself back here, seemingly giving her all as she sought to overpower the Super Kitty. But then, it was also a fact that Katherine was still an experienced wrestler despite her being much younger than Dana as she made use of her technical ability to suddenly turn the tide. When Katherine suddenly leaned back and brought her feet to Dana's midsection, the veteran knew what her opponent was trying to do, and she would brace herself so that she would not be caught unaware, preparing herself to spring up immediately after being flipped overhead.

Dana landed on her back, and she let out a grunt, though she had already braced herself for this, and immediately, she would pick herself up, almost at the same time as Katherine. Though before she could do anything, Dana got her arm caught by Katherine before she was brought down to the mat with an armdrag. Once again, she braced herself for impact and let out a grunt as she hit the canvas. Looking to recover as quickly as possible and rise back up to her feet, Dana was about to grab onto Katherine when the luchadora suddenly captured her in a side headlock before she was taken down to the mat with a side headlock takeover!

"NNHHH!!"

Her body hit the mat for the third time, and this time, Katherine tried to go for a pinfall attempt. The referee rushed over next to them and started counting for the pin. Dana immediately regained her bearing as she heard the palm of the referee hitting the mat. "ONE!" Without wasting her time, Dana would thrust her right arm up to the air, getting her shoulder off the mat, stopping the count. Letting out another groan, she would push Katherine off of her, yanking herself away from her. Looking at the masked wrestler, Dana smiled. It was the same motherly smile as before, though due to the circumstances and her intentions, it seemed more malicious and cruel than usual.

"Heh... impressive..." Dana said as she would then try to rise back up to her feet.
