Rianne Evans vs. Kirie Kato

[Weonna]

Rianne groaned as Kirie dragged her up with the half nelson, her back arching awkwardly while the rookie kept control.

“Ungh—bloody hell…”

she hissed, trying to pry at Kirie’s grip as she was hauled upright. The knee slammed into her side a moment later, drawing another sharp gasp as her legs buckled slightly underneath her.

Kirie lifted her arm higher, setting up the backbreaker, but Rianne’s eyes suddenly darted toward ringside for the briefest second—as if expecting someone to appear.

The distraction only lasted a moment before she focused back on Kirie, twisting and struggling in the hold, trying to shift her weight and stall before the drop.

Still trapped, still vulnerable… but clearly buying time for something.

Kirie smiled as she had Rianne in a pickle expecting her to stay there as her knee dug into her back and she started to feel comfortable about her chances int his match now that Rianne was struggling. She didn't see her looking off to the side of her or even hear the approaching third party, but soon everyone in the crowd saw someone arriving to give Rianne a bit of a hand. The very dangerous Mitzi, last seen when she had pulverized Matilda in the ring was now on the outside and grabbing the ropes.

"I love simple jobs like this." Mitzi muttered before climbing up the ropes and standing on the ring apron, making it look like she was going to enter the ring itself when the ref naturally moved to stop her, warning her that if she got in the ring she would be ejected from the arena. Mitzi stopped trying to enter but she glared at the ref, keeping her attention until Kirie turned around to look at her. "Woah! What is she doing here?" Kirie said, a slight hitch in her voice from nervousness from her presence, and worse her focus was slightly less on Rianne who was now being given a golden opportunity to fight back.

[Weonna]

The pressure on her back ease ever so slightly as Kirie's attention shifted. She didn't question why—only that the opportunity was there.

She slipped free of the half nelson with a sharp twist of her shoulders, stumbling forward a couple of steps before planting a hand on the mat to steady herself. Taking a deep breath, she rolled her aching shoulder and quickly regained her footing while the referee continued arguing with Mitzi on the apron.

A smug grin slowly crept back onto the Cockney Brit's face.

As Kirie finally turned back around—

THUD!

Rianne exploded forward, attempting to drive a Bicycle Pump Kick straight into Kirie's jaw!
