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.

[Fairy Dragon]

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!

Spoiler

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

[Fairy Dragon]

This was not good. She didn't know those two knew each other, and the last time she had a heavyweight helper interfering in her matches it ended with her in an ambulance! Kirie eyed Mitzi to make sure she wasn't getting in the ring before looking down on her opponent. "Is this you're doing what ar-ahh!" Kirie screamed as Rianne slipped away getting out of her grasp in a way that made her stumble forward getting even closer to Mitzi. The women smirked at her and then hopped off the ring apron while putting her hands up in a mock surrender to the ref. Kirie blinked then gasped before turning around realizing what Mitzi's exit meant...right before she found a foot in her face.

"Gaaaggh!" Kirie screamed falling back while her hands went to her bruised up face, she was hurting like hell after a hit like that and rolling on the mat in pain while Mitzi walked around the ring like a shark, saying nothing but her presence shifted the mood so much. Now she'd given Rianne a chance to take over, one she wasn't letting go as easily.

[Weonna]

Rianne couldn't help but let out a smug little chuckle as Kirie's attention had been stolen at exactly the wrong moment. The rookie was still clutching her face from the Bicycle Pump Kick as Rianne stepped in before she had any chance to recover.

"Cheers fer that,"

Rianne laughed under her breath, reaching down to haul Kirie back to her feet.

She slipped Kirie's head under her arm, securing the setup for her finisher while keeping the dazed rookie bent forward.

Rianne looked over her shoulder at Mitzi, who was calmly circling ringside with a satisfied smirk.

"You're an absolute gem, ain't ya?"

Rianne called with a cheeky grin.

"An' I must say, you look dead gorgeous when you're causin' trouble."

Rianne's grin widened.

"Right then... lights out, sweetheart."

In one fluid motion Rianne flipped her hair and dropped backwards, driving Kirie's head into the canvas with the devastating Oh Snap! DDT.

Spoiler

THUD!


Without missing a beat, Rianne rolled gracefully onto her side, draping herself across Kirie in her signature seductive pin, hooking the far leg as she glanced confidently toward the referee.

"Count it, ref."

[Fairy Dragon]

A kick like that could leave a dent in one's skull. Kirie should probably count herself lucky she got off with her face still intact, but the pain was minor compared to the frustration she was feeling for being outplayed like that. She should've known better, but seeing Mitzi threw her off her game and she paid for it. Mitzi watched Riane bring her foes near lifeless body back up to her feet taking in her partners praise with a smug smirk and a shrug when the ref started yelling at her. "A fancy way of saying all the time. But I appreciate the compliment. You'll look just as good on top of her." Mitzi said walking around basking in the early success of her partnership. Kirie attempted to rally herself to fight back but after the kick she was stunned and easily lead into Rianne's waiting arms for her next move, which might easily be the last.

"Dggghh!" Kirie screamed, slammed to the mat with a hard snap DDT. The force of which had head planted to the mt for a second before she fell the rest of the way and then was dumped to her side to be pinned by Rianne somehow looking even more lifeless than before. It only made the money making shot of Rianne's pin sexier to see Kirie almost out of it, easily allowing her leg to be lifted as her ace was on the side and Rianne on top of her for the ref to make the count, which she did after a slight glance in Mitzi's direction.

"ONE!"

[Weonna]

The Brit settled into the pin with a confident smile, hooking Kirie's leg tightly as the referee dropped beside them.

"ONE!"

Rianne slowly lowered her forehead until it rested lightly against Kirie's, her violet eyes half-lidded as she wore a smug, satisfied grin.

In a soft Cockney whisper only Kirie could hear, she murmured,

"You gave me a better scrap than I expected, love... but next time, keep yer eyes on me... not what's happenin' outside the ring."

Her smile lingered as she held the pin in place.

"TWO!"

Before the referee's hand could strike the mat for the final time—

A blur of red hair vaulted over the barricade.

Matilda

"Watch out!"

someone in the crowd shouted.

Matilda Schröder hit the ring at full speed.

WHAM!

The German powerhouse barreled straight into the referee, sending him sprawling across the canvas before the count could be completed.

Rianne's eyes widened in disbelief, instinctively lifting her head from the pin.

"What the—?!"

She barely had time to react.

Matilda was already behind her.

Strong arms wrapped tightly around Rianne's waist.

"No...!"

With a roar, Matilda exploded upward, arching back with terrifying power before launching Rianne through the air.

RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX!

CRASH!

Rianne landed violently across her shoulders and upper back, bouncing off the canvas before rolling away, clutching the back of her neck in agony.

The arena erupted.

Matilda rose slowly to her full height, chest heaving, her fiery hair hanging around her face. Gone was the broken, exhausted woman Mitzi had left behind weeks earlier. In her place stood an enraged warrior.

Her icy blue eyes locked onto Mitzi at ringside. She slowly raised a hand...

...then curled her fingers inward.

A clear challenge.

"Vell?"

Matilda growled,

"Get in ze ring!"

She took a deliberate step toward the ropes, never taking her eyes off Mitzi.

"You vant to prove you are ze better voman again? Zhen stop hiding behind ozers."

Another step.

"I am right here."

Matilda spread her arms wide.

"Come, Mitzi! I vill not run! I vill not break! So get in zis ring... und fight me like a real varrior!"

[Fairy Dragon]

Mitzi was mid pacing, having looked away from the ring right when the count started. After all Kirie looked stunned, even I she was awake she wouldn't be able to do much after a kick out, Rianne could win this match with her hands tied. For once she let herself get overindulgent on victory like a typical fighter. How fucking stupid. The crowd burst into surprise and Mitzi looked confused until she heard a loud bump in the ring, turning back to see a familiar face not only knocking the ref over but grabbing her meal ticket and holding her in her arms. Mitzi had only taken a few steps towards the ring when this redhead intruder tossed Rianne like she weighed nothing and sent her flying to the other side of the ring crashing into the mat helplessly before turning to her with vicious eyes of warrior. Matilda Schröder, the woman who Mitzi got this alliance off the back of was clearly not happy about it.

"You think I need to prove I'm the better woman again? You're the only one with something to prove." Mitzi growled, while she meant those words her frustration was clear. She did not expect Matilda to come running in like this and ruining everything. But if she had a fighters pride like Matilda did she could hardly blame her, their last match looked like it would be a real clash of titans and Matilda came marching in with pride fitting of her career, she had the rep and the accolades while Mitzi was an underground fighter who finally went public, in what universe could she hope to match one as accomplished as her? But pride couldn't protect you from Mitzi's punches and Matilda soon found herself under attack, her chiseled belly which has endured much and been a centerpiece of Matilda's dominant stature was easily chipped away at by Mitzi's attacks, tenderized so thorughly that the fight left Matilda and she was easy picks to be squeezed and crushed before she was carried out. And that's just what the fans saw, because Mitzi took a contract to continue when no one was looking and Matilda's belly suffered more and more until even one as proud as her broke and admitted defeat. Mitzi thought that would be the end of it, but she clearly had more to learn about fighters spirit. She was being goaded into the ring, and normally she'd say fuck off and leave but...Rianne was still in there and I she left her there she'd never allow her to be her guard again. Fuck! Mitzi reluctantly stepped on the ring apron waving Matilda off. "You better be out of the ring when I get in there unless you want more of what you got last time!" She threatened, but knew Matilda wouldn't leave, still she entered and if Matilda didn't attack her she would march up and get face to face with the redhead. "What makes you think this won't end up like last time?" She threatened.
