Main Event: Alizeh Midori vs Kyoko Akan (c) - Standard Match for the Middleweight Championship

[Fairy Dragon]

The Middleweight champ was a powerful foe, and she'd gotten stronger over the past few years. She joined LAW capable of taking heavyweights in her arm and holding them in place before squeezing the life out of them, now she was arguably one of the strongest wrestlers on the entire roster. That strength saved her all the time, and came back to help her stop Alizeh from catching her arm in a painful armbar, before lifting the challenger up to be slammed back down to the mat. Once that arm was free, Kyoko tried to catch Alizeh when she tried to flee. It was the natural instinct of wrestlers when an opening was made since Alizeh tried to roll away when Kyoko moved after her. Kyoko tried to grab Alizeh's waist and stop her from escaping and then would roll around with Alizeh still in her arms to shake the challenger up before she would pull her up to her feet.

If this worked and Alizeh was slowed down Kyoko would lift Alizeh and drop her with a German suplex. Dropping her to her back and then turning around ready to drop her again. This time she would come from the front and grab her head and arm, pulling her to feet to throw a knee into Alizeh's belly to keep her from fighting it. Then she would pull the arm over her head and lift Alizeh up for the third time to drop her with a quick suplex.

Alizeh had hoped that she could catch Kyoko by surprise early on and secure the armbar on her out of the gate. Damaging that limb and making it significantly more difficult for her to do a good chunk of her offence later in the match. Unfortunately however Kyoko was a bit too aware to be caught by the hold so easily by Alizeh's submission attempt. Unfortunately for Alizeh it was the method in which Kyoko had figured out to counter that would leave Alizeh reeling.

Because not only was Kyoko stopping the extension on her arm by Alizeh, but in turn she used the position to lift Alizeh up before dropping her back down, smacking her hard on the mat in a makeshift slam, forcing Alizeh to release her grip on the woman and try to roll away. Kyoko knew better than to allow such a thing however and followed after Alizeh immediately, grabbing hold of her and rolling with her, adding weight onto Alizeh with each turn and disorienting her a bit as a result.

Making it to where Kyoko was then able to hook her arms around Alizeh's waist, getting her feet under her before lifting Alizeh up in the air and throwing her into the mat with a german suplex! "Agh!" Alizeh cried out in pain as she made impact with the mat, falling onto her stomach before trying to sit up, only to get forced to her feet against her will. "Ugh!" Followed by a knee strike to the gut and then lifted up again to be thrown a second time in another suplex! "Gah!" Alizeh groaned out as she hit the mat once more. This time though Alizeh would roll through with the momentum of the throw, trying to roll clear from Kyoko this time, trying to get clear out of the ring and to the outside so she could have a moment to breathe and recover.

The champ was starting the match strong, taking this dream match and putting Alizeh through a nightmare. The early drops forced Alizeh to take the earliest exist from the ring to avoid an early disaster, knowing if she tried to stay or stand up Kyoko could come knock her back down quickly. This time she escaped, the suplex creating too much distance for Kyoko to close and stop her when she rolled out, leaving the champ alone in the ring. Kyoko smirked seeing the challenger flee so early in the match. "That's the power of a champion Alizeh! I beat you in the test of strength and I outwrestled you! Now how are you gong to come in here and tell me that I'm not a worthy challenge anymore?" Kyoko boasted. She would hop to a corner where her other belt was and grabbed it, climbing to the top and raising it in the air for the crowd to cheer or boo her after that early start.

"This is the champ you all knew I was, the one everyone has to make new strategies just to hope they can survive against because I'm just that good!" Kyoko boasted more, jumping down from the corner and tossing the belt down before she turned back to the center of the ring and pointed for Alizeh to get back, daring her to try again. The entire time the ref slowly counted, giving Alizeh enough time to recover but each count warning her that she had to confront the champ again eventually.

This was not at all how Alizeh wanted to start the match off. Granted nearly getting the arm bar in was nice. But getting thrown around out of the gate by Kyoko for a near trifecta and taking damage like that in back to back fashion was far from what wanted. Especially since she was forced to retreat so early and Kyoko, of course was the type to brag about forcing Alizeh to do so, even taking credit for winning the test of strength as well. "Grrr shut up!' Alizeh snapped at the champion, punching the apron before rolling back inside the ring.

Popping up to her feet right away and immediately locking eyes on her opponent, just in case she tried anything, Alizeh wouldn't waste any time before marching right towards her. "I'm gonna shut you up!" Alizeh growled out at Kyoko as she pulled her arm back and swung it forward, aiming to drive a forearm smash directly into Kyoko's chest in a effort to push the woman back! Perhaps even bait the woman into forcibly making a mistake!

[Fairy Dragon]

This early in the match the challenger was angry, even punching the apron after seeing Kyoko's display. "Get mad all you want, unless you're going to use that anger the right way like I did it won't matter." Kyoko said. Alizeh wasn't wasting any more time, she could feel her moment being tainted with the thought that Kyoko would not only win but dominate her on the biggest stage she's ever been in, something ever competitor feared. That fear made Alizeh angry and humiliated enough to go right for her and attempt to hit her with a forearm. Kyoko's hand came up to block it and push Alizeh back.

"Who told you trading blows with a championship striker was a good idea? My ability to punch things makes my wrestling look amateurish." Kyoko asked, taunting Alizeh more before she would respond with a chop to the chest. If that connected she would close in and throw a right hook to Alizeh's belly before she would then throw a forearm to Alizeh's face.

[Bare]

Immediately re entering the ring Alizeh was quick to approach Kyoko with a fire in her eyes. "Trust me I plan on it!' Alizh snapped as she swung her arm out for the forearm smash. Only Kyoko, as she was quick to make clear was a striker first and foremost, and as such she raised her arm up to block the blow before pushing Alizeh back. Keeping her guard up even as this happened Alizeh would keep her eyes on the woman, fully expecting her to come back in to try and punish hr with a series of strikes, and more than likely start attacking her stomach in turn. After all it was Kyoko, the belly queen, blly focused attacks were bound to come into play sooner or later.

Alizeh was betting on sooner and was fully preparing for when it would come so she could counter. As Kyoko approached, the woman would first go for a chop across her chest, making Alizeh grunt in pain from the blow! "Ngh!" Alizeh winced out, backing up a step, but retaining her focus on her opponent, as Kyoko as the woman fired off another jab, this one aimed at her gut, just as Alizeh had wanted!

Side stepping the incoming blow, Alizeh would reach out to grab hold of the woman's arm while it was extended. If successful Alizeh would give a tug on it as she pulled Kyoko towards her. "You know..." Alizeh started to say before turning as she raised Kyoko's arm up and then brought the limb down across her shoulder for a arm breaker! "Its a bad idea to call your own wrestling amateurish." Alizeh said, twisting Kyoko's words against her as she hoped to send the woman recoiling back from the force of the blow to her arm.

[Fairy Dragon]

The forearm never found it's mark, Kyoko caught it and pushed it aside perfectly then closed in to hit Alizeh right back. This one hit her chest, she heard Alizeh wince and move back a step so Kyoko could take a step forward and continue. A punch went next, aiming for Alizeh's abs but sailed to nothing when Alizeh moved out of the way, tracking for a blow to the stomach that she was prepared to counter. Did Wyvern teach her to be annoying about belly blows? She couldn't pull her hand back before Alizeh grabbed it, holding it there and then raising her free arm to club Kyoko's fist with an armbreaker.

"Gnngh!" Kyoko winced. Finally getting her hand back after Alizeh hurt it, where she quickly brought it close to her while she stepped back. The pain spread through her arm but was quickly turning dull, short term pain that would pass if she protected it. Alizeh was too close for safety, Kyoko wanted to answer her before she attacked and would throw a kick at Alizeh's leg to start.

[Bare]

Being forced to retreat was never a good look, even if it was neccessary to at times, but Alizeh was definitely not about to let Kyoko rub it in her face without consequence. Hence charging the way she did, knowing Kyoko would respond back in kind with strikes, and would surely go for a stomach punch, which is what Alizeh needed to counter the woman and get some offense going for herself. Watching as Kyoko was forced to back off Alizeh would smirk at the woman being left unable to respond.

Waiting as she came back in, no doubt to even the score. Watching as Kyoko threw her leg up for a kick Alizeh would raise her own up in kind, blocking the kick from Kyoko as it came in to send her leg back down. If successful with the block then Alizeh would look to stick her leg forward, past Kyoko's leg before reaching out with her free hand, pushing down on Kyoko's chest to send the Belly Queen crashing down to the mat hard with a leg sweep takedown!

[Fairy Dragon]

Her foot aimed for the thigh and met Alizeh's raised leg to find some slight movement to guard it. Alizeh protected herself from the worst of the kick, and she would run in rather than stay on her guard. Stepping past her leg and leaning into Kyoko for a takedown attempt that saw her tackle Kyoko while her legs were still spread from the kick. Kyoko felt her leg leave the mat and she fell back with Alizeh on top of her.

"Nggh." Kyoko groaned, quickly moving and fighting from her position. She pushed Alizeh with her left hand and tried to punch her side, below her ribs with a right while her legs would move up to get around her waist and help her slide further up and out from directly under the challenger.

[Bare]

Thus far Alizeh had managed to do well in terms of using Kyoko's intense offense against, her snatching her arm and damaging it, befor blocking her kick and then taking her right down to the mat as a result! Landing on top of her opponent in what would normally be a tender position, but it was anything but that between Alizeh and Kyoko. Immediately the woman under her tried to snap her legs around Alizeh's waist while shooting a punch into her side!

"Ugh!" Alizeh groaned out from the blow, but she was far from done. Pushing her own feet under her to push herself up, as well as giving herself a vantage point Alizh would raise an arm herself and bring it down hard on Kyoko's jaw to try and stun her! If successful in doing so Alizeh would reach down to grab hold of Kyoko's thighs before pushing forward with her legs trying to roll over Kyoko until Alizeh's lower half was directly behind Kyoko's head, bracing her legs against the mat to keep a bridge while holding onto Kyoko's legs to have her folded up in a jackknife pin! position!
