A Red Storm in Southern Lands - Ashley VS Tasha.

[Afterhoursclub]

Standard One-on-one Match:
Rules: Victory by pinfall, submission, or knockout.

Perhaps starting a fight over a simple social media post seems unnecessary, like a minor issue, something to overlook and move past as if nothing had happened. But of course, we would not be talking about Ashley Morgan if the situation didn't escalate in a disproportionately rapid manner, and truth be told, Ashley had started whole wars for much less in the past.

The Red Menace had opened a Twitter/X account recently, and it only took the redhead a single post to stir the pot, with many fellow wrestling stars looking to exchange some words with the Brit. Everything went just as one would expect with a hot-headed heel having the freedom to express her thoughts as she pleased.

Things got heated when one individual made some snarky remarks about Ashley's wrestling ability, a girl named Tasha Jackson. The two of them entered a heated debate that would soon find its way into an actual match within LAW rules. With both gals looking to settle their differences in the ring.

As Ashley's theme, Enemies by Eleine played, and the furious redhead walked down the ramp. The only thing on her mind was making Tasha eat every single one of her words. "Who the hell does she think she is?" the Red Menace thought while approaching the ring.

"Entering the ring, from Cambridge, England - Weighing 175 pounds - She is The Red Menace, Ashley Morgan!"

The announcer's voice filled the arena, and in just mere moments, Ashley was standing tall in the middle of the ring, waiting for her opponent to come. Ashley's mission was clear: To leave no doubt of who the better wrestler was after tonight!

Perhaps the events leading up to the match that Tasha Jackson was scheduled to have tonight weren't the ones the Alabaman wrestler could have been the most proud of, but frankly, The Southern Twister wasn't too bothered by that at all. If anything, lately she had felt like needing to use any opening or excuse to get opportunities to showcase her talent inside the highly aspired for, talented, and competitive LAW ring, and if those events that had occurred on Twitter had produced her the matchup of tonight, the decisions taken over the words that she had decided to tweet to Ashley Morgan's direction had been just excellent, right?

Besides, it wasn't as if picking a row with the English redhead would have been exactly an unpopular choice either. Ashley Morgan was widely regarded as an arrogant heel, even calling herself The Red Menace, clearly come to wreak havoc with all the good wrestlers of LAW... Surely, it was going to be a popular scene for the crowds to see her getting taken down? Something that Tasha could benefit immensely from for increasing her own popularity as well?

Also, in Tasha's opinion, Ashley was a rather convenient opponent for herself too. While the redhead was perhaps physically slightly bigger than the feisty Alabaman, she was also on the lower end of the heavyweight scale, and a rather even opponent for Tasha to display her skills against. Especially as from what she had seen and understood before, the redhead tended to rely more on her brute force and ruthless tactics in the ring, instead of showcasing any kind of skilled, elaborate technique... Surely, that should have provided many ways for Tasha to defeat her, right?

Tasha Jackson - The Southern Twister

Entrance Theme: Ida Corr - Ride My Tempo

“Entering the ring second, from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA... Weighing 170 pounds… She's The Southern Twister, Tasha Jackson!”


Ashley's darker rock tunes shifted to the more rhytmic and energetic beats of Tasha's entrance theme, as the Alabaman emerged from backstage as soon as she could hear Ida Corr's Ride My Tempo taking over the LAW arena! Springing just as energetically into action as her theme suggested, Tasha proceeded to charge down the ramp, hailing the fans along the way, keen to establish herself as the fan favorite.

Jumping up into the ring, the Alabaman paid no attention yet to her opponent while making a few rounds in it in a very spunky manner, clapping her hands rhythmically together high up in the air to the beat of her music, greeting the crowds and flexing her biceps, before stopping by a turnbuckle, and climbing onto it. She then took a good, long sip out of her signature sweet tea bottle that she was carrying with her into the ring, before jumping down and proceeding to greet the crowds once more at the opposite corner as well, before proceeding to settle down in her own corner, and finally setting her eyes on Ashley too.

Still enjoying some sips of her precious sweet beverage, Tasha's appearance might had been all friendly for the fans, but now that the focus was going to shift towards the redhead, the expression on Tasha's face changed too. The Alabaman was shaking her head a little, pointed her finger at Ashley's direction, and performed a subtle cut-throat gesture, noticable mainly to Ashley herself. She wasn't shying on letting the English woman know that the animosity between them was still very much there... And even if her beverage was sweet, tonight, Tasha herself wasn't planning to be.

There were a few things that annoyed Ashley a lot...

Well... there were QUITE a few things that annoyed Ashley QUITE a lot...

And now, over the top baby-faces, with obnoxious music and an exaggeratedly cheerful attitude, were at the top of her list!

After being forced to wait while watching Tasha's entrance, her whole routine, her gesturing to the fans... things were clear for the Brit: "I hate her already!" she thought to herself, wearing her usual scowl. Eyes fixed on the Alabama girl the whole time. But perhaps, it was the latter's gesture toward her that really sealed the deal for Ashley. That "cut-throat" gesture...

The redhead's eyes ignited like fire: "You are dead now!"

The referee called both wrestlers to the middle of the ring, giving the final instructions before the official start of the match. Ashley didn't take her gaze away from Tasha, not even for a single second, not even when the referee was talking directly to her. The Brit just nodded. She already knew all this boring stuff anyways...

Soon, the moment Ashley had been waiting for arrived, the starting bell came like music for the Redhead's ears... she smiled, a vile grin formed on her face, and in the blink of an eye, her arm shot forward, a hard slap aimed directly at Tasha's face. Maybe this will help this girl realize her position in the match...

[Jaystar]

Tasha could tell that her actions and gestures were most likely riling Ashley up even further, but truthfully, the Southern Twister figured that it was always going to be inevitable anyway. As Tasha had understood it, the whole reputation of The Red Menace was based on her ruthlessness and aggression inside the ring, so there was likely little harm that she could have caused for herself by acting confident and defiant towards her redheaded opponent... Besides, she hadn't come into this ring tonight to take it easy on Ashley at all!

The Alabaman proceeded to strut confidently to meet her British opponent in the middle of the ring, after taking one final sip from her bottle of sweet tea before leaving it to rest by her corner. Once she had gotten now face-to-face with Ashley though, there was something that the feisty wrestler noted, that was slightly irking her... Namely, Ashley did indeed appear to hold some size advantage over her sweeter opponent. And while the imminent source of annoyance for it stemmed from the fact that Tasha needed to look the redhead upwards for her eyes to meet hers, it did also play into one underlying slight source of insecurity of hers. While Tasha was a heavyweight, she was one only just... Which could often cause her to be the underdog against bigger opponents. But of course, it was something that she shouldn't have been thinking of at all right now...

...Something that was very easy to achieve, since as soon as the bell had rung, Ashley decided to start things off by delivering a vicious slap to the Alabaman's face! "AAAGH!!!" the stricken wrestler let out a surprised shriek, before sounding immediately more angry again. "You... Bitch!" The words were accompanied by an attempt at a vicious punch right into the redhead's guts!

Provided that the punch would hit where intended, the Southern Twister was determined to start the match off strong. Expecting the Brit to get bent forward, Tasha would then attempt to down the redhead into the mat with a quick Snapmare!

[Afterhoursclub]

From the start, Tasha was a perfect fit for one of Ashley's most obnoxious opponents, and the redhead made her dislike of the Southerner clear as soon as the bell rang. She delivered a hard slap aimed directly at Tasha's cheek. The resounding "Gasp!" she let out upon impact with her opponent's skin was like music to the Brit's ears.

Ashley smirked, "Where's that sassy attitude now?" she teased her opponent.

However, Tasha's answer didn't take long. A swift punch slammed into Ashley's stomach. The redhead was too distracted to react in time.

"Ugh!" Her eyes widened as her cheeks puffed out. The Brit bent forward, both arms going to her aching gut. She felt Tasha's arms coiling around her head. The Alabama gal was looking to get the upper hand early in the match, but this was not Ashley's first rodeo. Just as her opponent got closer, Ashley quickly wrapped both arms around her waist and pressed tightly.

"Hmph, rookie!" she whispered in Tasha's ear before hoisting her up in the air and then bringing her back down to the ground and right above her knee, letting her crash with a hefty Atomic Drop.

[Jaystar]

Ashley might had thought that the slap had driven Tasha's sassy attitude away, but the Alabaman couldn't have been keener to prove the Brit wrong by delivering a hard punch to her guts! Now it was the Southern Twister's turn to raise a smirk on her face, as she got to witness the redhead's eyes widening and cheeks puffing out, already needing to steer her hands tending to her midsection. "You tell me!" was the quick comeback that she had certainly earned the right to utter out now!

Or maybe... Not quite. While Tasha already had plans on how to down Ashley to the mat, they turned out to be not as solid as she had thought. While she was expecting to pull off the quick Snapmare without a hitch, instead, she got to feel Ashley's arms wrapping around her waist. And even if she couldn't readily tell what that was all about, she could tell that it was probably not a good thing at all...

Tasha soon got to hear getting called a "rookie" right into her ear, and that certainly sent a spark of fury running through her veins. But that turned out to still be nothing compared to the pain she was about to get swooshing through her body! Despite Tasha's supposedly clever plans, it wasn't Ashley who got thrown into the canvas... But the Alabaman herself got promptly hoisted up, and experienced a very unpleasant landing as a courtesy of Ashley's Atomic Drop! "AAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!" The Southern Twister cried out from both the surprise and the pain, as she was now left on her knees on the mat in front of the redhead, forced to tend to her aching backside and crotch!

[Afterhoursclub]

Ashley knew that she wasn't the fastest fighter around; however, she didn't need to be. The Brit had trained herself to be a tank, taking advantage of her size and muscle to withstand her opponent's attacks, and using every opening she could find to deal damage of her own. In a dominant and thunderous fashion. She had applied this logic in all of her matches, finding a decent amount of success with said tactics, creating the reputation of being a resilient powerhouse. Tasha's punch caught Ashley square in the stomach, but it wasn't the first time she'd been hit like that, nor would it be the last. The redhead brushed the blow and immediately prepared to counter Tasha's attack.

The Atomic drop was a success; she felt the entirety of Tasha's weight landing on her knee, instantly sending a shock of pain through the southern gal's body. Tasha landed writhing on her own knees. "How's that, girlie?" The redhead couldn't help but taunt her opponent. However, Ashley didn't waste any more time; the Brit darted toward the ropes, her body bouncing back, gathering a whole lot of momentum, and rushing at full speed in the direction of Tasha's kneeling form.

Smirking maliciously, Ashley would lift her leg as soon as her opponent was within reach, aiming the heel of her boot directly at her face. If this were successful, Ashley would hit Tasha with a hefty Big Boot, one of her go-to moves, dropping her instantly on the mat. Hopefully, giving Ashley an opening to continue with the punishment.

Big Boot

[Jaystar]

Tasha may had been determined to start the match off strong, but right now it looked like she had indeed underestimated the challenge she was facing with the Red Menace. Ashley was brutal, resilient, and strong, and even taking a hard punch directly at her guts right off the bat didn't seem to faze her! The Southern Twister received a painful surprise as the result, as the British redhead hoisted the slightly smaller gal up with ease, and punished her back with the Atomic Drop!

Ashley may had already been calling Tasha a girlie now, but the mental pain from that was nothing compared to the physical one that the kneeling Southerner was experiencing now. It was at least momentarily indeed incapacitating for now, and Tasha remained an easy target for follow-up attacks - something that the experienced Brit didn't fail to capitalize on.

What followed felt almost like capital punishment for Tasha, as the sweet wrestler suddenly received a Big Boot right into her face! The Southern Twister barely had the chance to see it coming, and couldn't protect herself at all! The result was a haughty scream of pain, and Tasha's body collapsing into the mat, looking like she was indeed still only some kind of a rookie, destined to take a beating in the Red Menace's hands, as her reeling form didn't indicate that she would have been getting back up any time soon.

[Afterhoursclub]

The heel of Ashley's boot clashed squarely with Tasha's cheek, sending the Southerner gal straight to the canvas in a heap, writhing after the hard impact. A smug smile adorned the redhead's face while she took a moment to pace across the ring, staring at the crowd. For Ashley, every time she connected a Big Boot on a poor soul, it felt like a small victory on the inside. Especially if said soul happened to be as annoying as Tasha.

"Come on!" She turned her attention back to the downed girl. "We have a long way ahead still."

Walking back to where Tasha had landed, Ashley grabbed a handful of the girl's hair and yanked her right back up. If she managed this, The Red Menace would proceed with bringing one of Tasha's arms behind her neck, while grabbing a hold of her waist with both hands. She would pull tightly against her body, and in a swift motion, the redhead would attempt to lift Tasha high up in the air while arching her back, dropping the Southern Twister violently on her head with a Backdrop Suplex.

"Enjoy the ride, love!"

[Jaystar]

No matter how much Tasha hated to admit it, Ashley had indeed managed to start off the match by delivering on her words of making Tasha look like a rookie. The Red Menace had chosen a particularly devastating set of moves to set the tone of the match, at least if you asked Tasha, and the Southern Twister was now reeling in apparent pain in no time. Of course, this might had all been completely normal for the crimson heel, but facing such brutality right off the bat wasn't something that Tasha would have gotten used to lately!

That detail in particular seemed to be rather ominous, considering that the words which the Red Menace uttered out next were indeed most likely true. This match had barely even started, and considering the redhead's apparent ire towards the Alabaman, she probably held every intention to keep on punishing Tasha for a long while should things keep on progressing as they had so far! The Southern Twister was very aware of her need to turn things around, and fast... But how? She needed some kind of an opening!

Before Tasha had any kind of plan for that though, Ashley was already pulling a fistful of her beautiful hair, and yanking the Southern girl back up to her feet. Huffing and trying to orient herself once again, Tasha's eyes narrowed in on the redhead's abs... Perhaps a hard punch straight to the Brit's core could help with turning things around?

Just as the Southern Twister swung her arm though, her other arm was pulled behind Ashley's neck with her body twisting and jolting forward, causing the swing to completely miss its target! And instead, it was Tasha's body that got lifted high up in the air... The Alabaman may had been a heavyweight on paper, but she certainly wasn't looking like one in the hands of the Red Menace! "Ohh... N-nono...!!!" were the surprised and by now scared utterings that Tasha only managed to let out, before a loud smack and "GAHHH!!!" accompanied the powerful Backdrop Suplex getting delivered! Ashley had performed yet another showy and flashy move, that seemingly left her rookie opponent once again crumpled in a heap on the mats...
