Black Tornado's Open Challenge for the USPW Wildcat Title

[winner3]

In an instant, LAW's Greatest E-Girl somehow turned the tables! Both ladies in this contest seemed to thrive on matching the other in energy, in competitiveness, and in their knack for sending the fans into a frenzy!

Tornado lived up here namesake many times over in this contest! Jem could feel that at any given moment, the luchadora was just one or two waves of momentum away from putting her away and further proving herself as the Wildcat Champion! But that only spurred Jem on harder! The blonde grit her teeth and pushed down hard to keep Steele folded with her pert bum pointed skyward as Holland pinned her! That Powerbomb came from practically out of nowhere! It had to have rocked Brianna, Jem thought as she nodded with the one count and then the two count! The fans called each count out along with the ref! But a sudden surge of life from the woman representing USPW tonight cut the referee's count short!

"Huh?!" Jem recoiled in surprise! And as she did, fans rallied behind the brawling brunette!

Even Jem had to admire Brianna's endurance and heart in this contest! But before The E-Girl could fathom Tornado's grit here, The Wildcat Champion would ensnare the blonde's head and neck with her surprisingly strong legs!

"Ngh! That...my line!" Jem would speak through grit teeth! But the defiance written on her face didn't translate to another crowd-pleasing counter this time!

Jem would grip the thighs that bound her, but Brianna's execution of this Figure Four Headscissor was airtight! Brianna bent her knee over her own ankle, trapping Holland's face against her hips and crotch! Jem tried hard to part those legs and take pressure away from the hold! But even as the crowd began to clap and cry out with cheers from all the hype of this heated contest, Jem's attempts to get her feet underneath her and rise up would be met with nothing less than Brianna Steele sinking her hooks in even deeper! Denying Jem of more stamina and strength! If Tornado committed herself to the hold, after ten seconds or so, Jem's legs would buckle at the knees! And the beloved streamer girl would be made to cow to the champion in the center of the ring! Jem's palms would meet the canvas and she'd wince with one eye open as Brianna turned her own impressive counter against her and served The E-Girl a large helping of poetic justice!

Brianna had definitely been rocked, all right. For a moment, with the count climbing higher and the luchadora showing little signs of life, it seemed as though the Wildcat Championship could well change hands tonight. But Brianna was proud to be a champion, and she was willing to fight for it - so much so, in fact, that being in such a predicament was only fueling her with newfound energy she was going to turn against her foe! When she looked up to see her shoulders down and the ref counting, she knew she was going to have to do something, and soon. But even if her head was still spinning, she was ready to do something, all right - no matter the odds!

When the Tornado struck, it would be as she did best. Not only was she going to hit hard, she would do so with a bang! She would kick her legs straight up into the air, throwing them around Jem's head; the sight of such a daring maneuver was enough to draw a gasp from the fans. Several of whom were now jealous as Brianna flexed the toned muscles in her legs, letting them ripple beneath her skin - and squeezed harder around Jem's head, wringing the air from her lungs!

With a triumphant grin on her face, Brianna lifted a hand to flash a peace sign to the crowd, posing for all the camera flashes going off around her! Beneath her, Jem tried to fight to her feet, but she couldn't make it - against the crushing pressure bearing down on her, she was stopped in her tracks every time, and she was growing more and more weary. As the will to fight drained away from her, it was growing more and more evident that Jem simply didn't have a leg to stand on. And Tornado was eager to see it!

"Might be your line..." she said, giving another squeeze of her thighs for good measure, "but I think I wear it better!"

Once Brianna was sure Jem wasn't going to put up much of a fight, she released her head and kicked backward, doing a somersault off of her. There, she got to her feet, dusting herself off. She looked up to face the crowd, and all the cheers and camera flashes they were showing her. As always, she met them with a grin, puffing out her chest and standing tall with her hands planted on her hips. But the best was yet to come.

"I think this calls for an encore!" She hoisted a fist above her head, drawing on the cheers of the crowd, which just came through louder and louder! With her other hand, she grabbed Jem by the hair, hoisting her higher until she was sitting on her knees. Then, she would spin around on her heel, attempting to nail the blonde with a roundhouse kick to the face!

[winner3]

Jem's frustration and desire to fight back grew as she endured Tornado's hold! But the more time The E-Girl spent in Brianna's Figure Four, the fewer options she had! The luchadora slowly choked the fight out of her! And as she did, Brianna flashed a peace sign for the crowd, feeding off the fan's reactions and wrestling away momentum from the famed Jem Holland!

"Ngh...." The E-Girl grunted softly as she lay there with her head and neck trapped by Brianna's surprisingly strong thighs!

Brianna's retort added insult to injury! Jem wanted to protest the act of the luchadora bringing her to a prone position in the middle of the ring and nearly putting her away while posing for the fans! But at the moment, all Jem could manage to do was lay there prone as Steele gave her one last hard squeeze for the road! Once she was satisfied, the Wildcat Champ kicked backward and rolled her way back up to her feet, leaving Jem laid out on her front with her fit frame and messy hair on display! Brianna took a second to dust herself off and smile/pose for the crowd! The cheers and cameras flashes kept coming! And more importantly, they spurred the luchadora on to continue taking it to LAW's Greatest E-Girl!

The champion pulled Jem up to her knees by her hair. Jem remained pliable and dazed as Brianna did so! Steele stood over Jem dominantly with one fist raised in the air with her other hand holding Jem by the hair to steady the kneeling blonde for her next move! Jem looked up listlessly at the brawling brunette just in time for the masked middleweight to spin around and whip her leg for a quick and powerful strike!

"UGH!" Holland groaned as Brianna's roundhouse kick connected!

This blow once again left Jem laid out, this time on her front! Her chest heaved as she lay there in a daze, looking up at the lights and looking up at Black Tornado!

Though Jem had come here tonight to play hard and to rep LAW even harder, it was Brianna who had taken the reins and asserted herself and USPW as bigtime contenders in what was shaping up to be the last legs of a hotly contested cross-promotional match in front of a raucous PPV crowd!

[CaptainL]

Without a doubt, the momentum of the match had passed solidly into Brianna's hands. The Wildcat Champion was fully convinced now that she could take all the time she needed to showcase her skills, and she wouldn't even need to fear whatever Jem might throw her way. In fact, Jem was barely even getting any offense of her own in edgewise! No sooner had she released the crushing headscissor she had trapped her challenger in, she picked her up like a trophy, holding her head up for all to see just before she spun around on her heel to slam her leg into Jem's skull in a perfectly-timed flourish! When the E-girl went sprawling to the mat, the stands lit up in a cheer - a cheer that Brianna was happy to take in, as she pumped her fist overhead! There was nothing she liked more than energizing the crowd with a good show, and she certainly wasn't disappointing here!

"Thank you, thank you, everybody!~" she called, turning left and right to face her adoring fans. "You've all been too kind to me - but I think the best is still yet to come!" Brianna wasn't finished just yet, after all. If she was going to end this match, it would have to be with a big finish well worth all the attention! But from how loudly the fans were cheering on her every move, she was proud to know she could soak up the spotlight through it all - and the grin on her face could only grow wider and wider thinking of it. She'd make sure the fans wouldn't be disappointed!

First, she'd bend down to grab Jem by the arm, looking to haul the hapless blonde to her feet one more time. Then, she'd toss her weight over to try and send her into the corner with an Irish whip. As she let Jem go, the Tornado would turn and run to the opposite corner, taking a running leap and hopping up onto the top of the turnbuckle - greeting all the eager cheers of the fans as she lifted her arms high over her head! She was still riding off the momentum of those cheers a moment later, when she turned to face Jem. If Jem landed where she had aimed her, Tornado would leap from the top rope, aiming her feet in Jem's direction, as she twirled through the air in a circle to try and land her finisher: a corkscrew missile dropkick she'd dubbed the Eye of the Storm, straight to the blonde's gut!

[winner3]

This high-energy bout saw the crowd rally back and forth between both women! Jem and Tornado had exchanged dynamic and impactful moves, wrestling momentum away from each other as they fought for the pride of both their wrestling promotions! But a series of well-timed strikes and holds from Tornado saw to it that it was the champion who was standing tall over a loopy Jem Holland right now!

As much as Jem wanted to be the one soaking up all the attention and energy from the crowd right now, it was Brianna who was standing tall! The masked middleweight called for her coup de grace and pulled The E-Girl up off the canvas! Jem struggled to get on her feet only to be thrown to the far corner of the ring!

"Agh!" Jem would groan as her back hit the turnbuckles in the corner. She held her forehead and face with one hand, slowly recuperating in the corner as she heard the crowd get antsy!

It was do or die here! The commentators remarked on how LAW's Greatest E-Girl seemed to be on her last legs! But Jem was able to pull off a clutch counter earlier in the match in the form of a Powerbomb from out of nowhere! Quite a few Jem fans in attendance rallied behind her as she found her footing and got some of her bearings about her! It took some time, but Jem walked forward out of the corner and put her dukes up! And when she did, she was met by the twirling Black Tornado connecting with her Eye of The Storm finisher flush against her core!

Jem would go down in a wordless heap near the corner! The impact of Brianna's finisher undid any progress Jem made towards getting to the center of the ring and rocketed her back into the corner! Jem's back would once again slam into the turnbuckles! But this time, rather than lay against the ropes and the turnbuckle pads, the impact would see to it that Holland would fall forward out of the corner and into a prone position at the feet of her spirited rival! Completely motionless and short of breath after taking the champ's finisher in this classic of a PPV match!

[CaptainL]

Both Jem and Tornado were fan favorites in their own circles. Both of them had storied careers in their respective promotions, and both of them had carved out a name for themselves with their sense of showmanship and theatrics, always out to send the fans home happy. It was only to be expected, then, that a match between the two of them was going to generate no small amount of hype - especially when Brianna was motivated more than ever before to put her best efforts forward, knowing her title was on the line! But she wasn't about to let Jem get anywhere close to threatening her position, if she had anything to say about it. And now she was ready to cap everything off with a bang - when she sprung toward Jem, twirling through the air with her feet held out in front of her to land a devastating dropkick!

Jem might have garnered a few cheers when she stepped out of the corner, showing a willingness to fight on in spite of the odds. But any cheers she got were overshadowed by the uproar of applause that ripped through the arena a moment later, when Brianna hit her mark, causing the two women to go down in a heap! The air was knocked out of Jem on impact, and she was sent sprawling to the mat; Tornado landed a short distance away from her, but she was quick to sit back up and pump a fist in the air in celebration, throwing back her head and cheering along with all the fans. In fact, when she looked over to see Jem stunned before her, it only made her grin wider. Now was her moment to strike, and she was going to take it!

Without a moment's hesitation, Brianna scrambled back to her feet. She quickly circled around to the fallen Jem, pulling her out of the corner - and then, she fell down on top of her, hooking her leg to go for the pin! "ONE!" the referee counted - and the crowd was cheering even louder at the sight!

[winner3]

Black Tornado's finisher was explosive and immediately recognizable! When she connected with her Eye of The Storm/Corkscrew Dropkick, she raced to her feet and pumped her fist in the air with the confidence that this finishing move would spell the end of the night for LAW's own Jem Holland, and the end of what had to be one of the most spirited title defenses the Wildcat Championship had scene!

Brianna raced to her feet after hitting the mat and raised her hand high in the air to respond to the crowd! But she didn't let that brief moment of resonating with the crowd cost her a chance to seal the deal!

The masked middleweight would quickly pull a stunned Jem away from the corner and the ropes before dropping down on top of her and hooking one of her legs for the pin! The official dropped down to check Jem's shoulder before quickly starting a count! And the crowd counted along with her!

"ONE....!"

"TWO...."

"THREEEEEE!"

There was much tension in the air between the second and third counts, but ultimately, the groans and minimal movement on Holland's part didn't culminate in a kick-out! Brianna pinned for her three in the center of the ring, successfully defeating LAW's Greatest E-Girl and retaining her USPW Wildcat Championship in a great showing here in a marquee match on an official LAW pay-per-view!
