Tina Armstrong vs Kyoko Akan (C)

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko quickly put Tina in her place, knocking her down and then crushing her with an elbow that made Tina look tired and weak. Then she grabbed Tina's hair and would pull her back up and drag her back to the ropes to throw into the ring to punish more and then finish off. She'd pull Tina up on her shoulders and carry her around, then would drop her to the floor with a gutbuster.

Tina felt herself being dragged back to the ring. She had to try to do something here or she wpuld be in an even deeper hole. She had to climb out. Tina screamed and swung elbows into Kyoko's abdomen before trying to grab her by the hair attempting to smash her head off the apron a few times as hard as she could to attempt to retake control before re-entering the ring!

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko had Tina dragged off the floor to be brought to the ring again, and then Tina started to resist her predicament once more, pushing her elbow into her stomach just when she was close to the ring. "Uggh." Kyoko gasped stepping back for just a moment, where Tina quickly grabbed her hair and threw her head down on the ring apron. "Agggh!" Kyoko screamed, head bouncing off the apron while Tina made her escape, entering the ring without her. Now free, Tina could attack the moment she followed her, angering Kyoko who had no choice but to follow with a hand still around her face after being smashed into the apron.

Kyoko was correct about assuming Tina would strike. The tigress pounced as Kyoko came back in the ring stomping on her, then kneeling next to her clubbing her back with forearm strikes before Tina stood up. She pulled Kyoko up by the hair and lift her up vertically as if for a vertical suplex but Tina had other plans. She stepped back away from the ropes looking to drop Kyoko straight down on her skull with an elevated brain buster, eager to try to pin Kyoko right afterward as well as Tina looked to solidify her control again back inside the ring!

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko came in expecting attacks, and Tina acted predictably, striking the moment she was in range and trying to stomp her out while Kyoko moved in to block and avoid taking the worst of the kicks. The struggle on defense continued when Tina switched it up and tried to club her instead. "Ngggh!" Kyoko groaned, getting pushed around by the attacks that she couldn't completely stop, she reached out to grab a leg and pull it when she was dragged along by her hair and taken in close by Tina, who lifted her up into a quick brainbuster before Kyoko could escape.

"Aggghh!" Kyoko screamed landing on the top of her head and rolling to her back. The impact was keeping her still while she recovered, and Tina jumped on her to try and pray for a quick win after the move.

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

Shortly after the two Kyoko pushed her shoulder up, breaking the pin and stopping the count. The pain from the brainbuster was still there, but Kyoko wasn't letting her belt slip through her fingers while she could still move all of her muscles.

"Damn it! Come on!" Tina shouted as she pounded the mat in frustration with Kyoko kicking out! Tina stood up and pulled Kyoko up by the arm stepping towards the turnbuckle across the ring. Tina wanted to whip Kyoko into it and give immediate chase! Tina's goal was to have Kyoko land hard against the corner with her coming in right after with a big running dropkick to the chest to flatten Kyoko against the turnbuckle! All she had to do was step towards the corner and put her plan into action...

[Fairy Dragon]

It didn't matter to the champ how angry she'd made Tina, she still needed to get out of harm's way and beat her. She tried to roll away and was quickly grabbed and pulled back up to be Irish whipped into the corner again. This time she had a better idea of what Tina was planning to do and instead of turning herself to try and protect the landing and eat a hit from Tina like last time she would, run close to it and try to drop low, hoping to avoid whatever Tina tried next.

[Highfly]

Tina came running in and jumped, looking on in horror as she extended her legs right as Kyoko moved out of the way! She drop-kicked the immobile corner ringpost and a jolt of shock went up her legs! "Oomph!" Tina groaned as she crashed to the mat both legs spasming for a second. She knew she could get up but it would take a second, and that was a second Kyoko had to act. It was a second Tina knew the champion would take good advantage of...

[Fairy Dragon]

The dropkick hit something alright, but it wasn't her. After avoiding that disaster she was standing back up watching Tina recover and hold her legs after the bad drop. She had a chance to strike back and wanted to use it, running to the other side of the ring and then running back at Tina. While she was trying to recover she'd run in and go for a rolling senton to throw herself at Tina and smash her against the corner with her back.

[Highfly]

Tina's plan had backfired horribly. She staggered up and slumped against the turnbuckle playing right into Kyoko's plans. Tina saw the champion coming shaking her head but unable to move. She was stunned in the corner when Kyoko came barreling in and there was nothing Tina could do but take it. "OOMPH!" Tina groaned as Kyoko smashed into her absolutely crushing her against the corner. The wind was knocked out of Tina as she swayed and draped her arms over the top rope just barley staying up as her limp legs were flopping and kicking unable to support her on their own.
