Dethroning the King: Bella King vs Karen Gale

[Underdoggo]

WHAM.

The crowd roared with the impact as Karen's boots smashed into Bella's chest, the tremor of the collision running up Karen's legs. Rebounding, Karen dropped to her butt, and saw that Bella had been practically propelled across the ring to the other turnbuckle, which she was now slumped against, cradling her hurting chest. She kipped back up to her feet, grinning wolfishly. Well, maybe not wolfishly: given where she was from, a shark smelling blood was a more apt metaphor.

The fact that Bella was still standing after taking the full force of her Riptide was admittedly impressive...but Bella would not be standing for much longer.

Spinning her arm in a circle in a revving motion for the crowd, Karen burst into a run, charging right at the winded Bella, aiming to rush the reeling Briton and smash her with a brutal lariat while she was trapped in the corner, crushing her between a rock and a hard place!

With a hand clutching her aching chest Bella would slowly pull herself up by the ropes, coming to a shaky stand as she looked up at Karen with a growl. Though once again Bella would prove to have been better off staying down as Karen was coming right at her with an extended arm! The Lariat smashed into Bella's collar, crushing her against the turnbuckle and driving all the air out of Bella's lungs to the point she couldn't even cry out in pain! Bella's legs kicked out from under her from the impact, but with Karen's arm keeping her pinned she could only lean limply against the post. This was NOT good.

Once Karen pulled her arm back Bella's legs would lose all strength and she'd drop down onto her butt, sitting against the post with a moan of agony slipping from her lips.

The corner post shook violently, positively vibrating with impact as Karen slammed into Bella, putting the full force of her body weight into her world shattering clothesline. The impact was devastating, leaving the Briton slumped on her butt, utterly dazed after being squished between the moving speed train that was Karen and the unyielding solidity of the corner post. The crowd was on the edge of their seat now, eager to see Karen displaying some dominance after enduring Bella's earlier heelish antics.

Wiping her sweating brow, Karen towered over Bella. She wasn't done yet, not by a long shot: it was time to finish the redhead off once and for all. With Bella now reeling in the corner, Karen decided to get some payback while she could, stomping down once, twice on her foe's chest while she was trapped. Then, before the ref could get in her face about it, she leaned down, grabbing two handfuls of Bella's hair and yanking her up to her feet.

Once they were both upright, Karen would lean over and hook Bella's shoulder and thigh, lifting the other girl up onto her shoulders. Huffing, she would put Bella up in a fireman's carry, and start spinning, whirling around like a top, both to make Bella increasingly dizzy, and more importantly, to build momentum for a finishing piledriver!

With Bella left a whimpering mess from Karen's thorough beatdown there was naught she could do to stop that white-haired menace from beating her down even further with two stomps to her chest, deflating the air from her chest even more thoroughly as if she was attempting to flatten the Brit out! After promoting Bella from whimpering to wheezing Karen would then drag the redhead up to her feet and lift her onto her shoulders, leaving Bella with an awful sense of vertigo and an even worse sense of absolute dread. In the state Bella was in right now she knew that she wasn't leaving this position on her own terms!

In a desperate attempt to find something, ANYTHING, she could do about her predicament Bella would notice that the referee was standing far too close for comfort to the two of them, likely because she sensed that the match was potentially about to end and didn't want to miss anything. So in a final gambit Bella would cock her leg back and lash it out at the referee, catching her right on the chin with an improvised kick that used Karen's spin for momentum! Then to hide the evidence of her crime Bella would paw at Karen's face to rake at her eyes, either taking away her eyesight temporarily or distracting her with the attempt so that Karen wouldn't see that the referee was down when she landed the piledriver.

Oh, that's right. Even after all that Bella was still going to be taking the slam. This wasn't going to be fun.

It was a simple enough matter to hoist Bella up: while the Briton had a slight height advantage on Karen, she was extraordinarily heavy. One arm sliding around the back of Bella's thigh, the other behind her neck, securing her tightly; with that done, Karen began to spin like a helicopter, whirling around with increasing speed and taking Bella with her. Undoubtedly, Bella would soon start to feel nauseous, but Karen would alleviate that by hurling her to the--

Nails raked across Karen's face, dragging across her eyes. She howled in pain, and stumbled, her momentum halted as she staggered drunkenly with Bella's weight on her shoulders. For a few precarious moments, she felt like she was on the verge of falling over.

"BITCH!" she snarled, and with that she blindly tilted sideways, (hopefully) driving Bella head-first into the mat. With this done, she would sit up and clutch her hurting eyes, forcefully blinking. Hot tears clouded her vision, stinging at her lenses. It was hard, at this stage, to tell what kind of damage Bella's nails had done.

Blindly, she felt for her opponent's prone body, before dropping down across her, hooking one of her legs for the pinfall. And waited. And waited. The familiar sound of the countdown could not be heard.

"What the..." Karen forced her eyes open; pasted the blurriness caused by the tears, she could see the ref girl lying a few meters away on her back, seemingly having been knocked out.

"REF!" In an instant, Karen abandoned her opponent and rushed to the ref, gently slapping at her cheeks. "Wake up! Come on, you need to do the countdown! Ref!"
