Match Type: 1v1, Smother
Bengal, the Blaze Tiger
Spoiler

And so it was that, a few short days later, Bengal found herself backstage at the LAW arena, waiting for her cue. The Tiger had donned her classic black-and-orange outfit for this bout, and sharpened her painted nails to knifelike points. During the buildup to the match, she'd been working out her biceps and triceps to increase the strength of her holds, and the effort had paid off. She flexed and stretched her arms, feeling the newfound strength in her toned limbs. As her entrance theme began to swell through the arena speakers, she adjusted her cat-ear headband one last time, then strode out onto the entrance ramp.
She was immediately greeted by a chorus of boos. It was expected, given the Tiger's history of underhanded tactics, but still grating. Idiots...how can they boo me when they don't even know who I'm fighting? Bengal wondered. She tried not to let her annoyance show on her face, maintaining a stoic expression as she stalked forward through a haze of smoke. Pyrotechnic flares burst up around her with each step, their fiery glow reflecting off her oiled skin and sleek black hair. She leaped onto the apron and gazed haughtily around the arena, then ducked under the ropes and into the ring, just as the ring announcer began to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a Smother Match! The only way to win is by smothering your opponent into unconsciousness." The crowd cheered uproariously at that; obviously, they were just as excited for this stipulation as Bengal was. The announcer continued: "Introducing first...standing at a height of five feet, seven inches, and weighing in at one hundred and forty pounds...from Kolkata, India...THE BLAZE TIGER! BENGAL!"
The jeers from the crowd grew even louder, but it was all just background noise to Bengal. Her catlike gaze was fixed on the top of the ramp, waiting for her opponent. Hopefully, she's not too scared to show up, she thought to herself, leaning back casually in the corner as she tightened her black leather gloves. I'd hate to come all the way down here for nothing...
