Noah vs Tina: Tune-Up Match

[Faeron]

Noah shook the cobwebs off his head and the sound of the arena was clear again. The count of 5 could be heard from within the ring as the referee had started to count them out. Noah brushed his hair back before leaning down to lift Tina onto her feet. Pulling her into a front face lock, Noah took a deep breath before attempting a snap suplex, intending to cause further damage to Tina's back.

Tina was still hurting from the back flip as Noah pulled her up. As he grabbed on to her she recognized what was coming, although unfortunately she was able to stop it! She tried to reach a leg out to hook it around one of Noah's legs but she was already being if up, coming crashing down hard on her back! She grit her teeth, moaning and stifling a loud scream of pain as she landed again on the hard ground outside the ring!

"SIX!"

"SEVEN!"

The referees count continued as Tina laid there, trying to recover in order to get back to her feet.

[Faeron]

Noah connected the suplex, feeling his back hit the padding underneath them. He arched his body in pain, fists clenching as he turned to face Tina and brought the blonde back onto the feet. He rolled the champion back into the ring and followed suit, hooking the leg to make the first pinfall attempt in the match.

[Highfly]

Tina groaned as she was grabbed and rolled back into the ring. She felt Noah press her down against the canvas before she could rise, and the pinfall had begun!

"ONE! TWO!"

Right at the two count Tina thrust her shoulder off the mat to break the pin, continuing the match. She tried to shove Noah off of her, knowing that she had to get back up to really get back into the fight, eager to get back on the offensive against Noah. She would creep towards him with her arms up, quickly sending a toe kick to his abdomen to double him over! If that worked as planned Tina wanted to move in, hooking both his arms before falling back to plant him hard to the mat head-first with a double underhook DDT!

[Faeron]

Noah figured that his assault outside of the ring wouldn't be enough to put down Tina for good, but he hoped that it would've slowed her down. With Tina kicking out at two, Noah looked to continue his offense again Tina. But Tina showed why exactly she was the champion when suddenly buried the toe of her boot against Noah's abdomen and spiked him into the mat with a butterfly DDT. The impact stunned Noah,causing him to sit on his knees with a dazed expression in his eyes.

[Highfly]

Tina was shocked but impressed by Noah's ability to remain on his knees after taking a double undertook DDT! Tina clearly had more work to do to put Noah down. Getting up she ran towards the ropes behind her, bouncing off as she built momentum. As she rushed back at Noah she leapt at him knee first, trying to smash him in the face with a shining wizard! Tina was looking to pound on Noah, hitting him hard and fast as she tried to overwhelm him with offense!

[Faeron]

Noah squeezed his eyes together as he attempted to shake off the grogginess from the DDT. Not fast enough to see the Shining Wizard coming and Tina's knee slammed against Noah's face. Noah's head rocked backwards and the rookie was laid out on his back, sprawled spread eagle on the center.

[Highfly]

Tina smiled and saw that Noah was down. She immediately went for a cover, hoping that the two hard shots to his head in rapid succession would be enough to keep him down, making one heck of a statement for the smaller female wrestler!

"ONE!"

The count began and Tina held tight, pressing down on his chest with her bodyweight while tightly hooking a leg as she did her best to keep the bigger male wrestler down against the canvas!

[Faeron]

Noah was seemingly down for the count as Tina hooked a leg and the referee started the pin count.

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

Noah regained conscious thought and brought his right shoulder up to break the pinfall. His head was ringing from the consecutive shots to the head and did his best to shake off the pain.

[Highfly]

So he still had some fight left in him. That was fine for Tina because she was more than ready to keep inflicting punishment on Noah. Rising to her feet the tigress reached down to grab Noah by the arm, pulling him to his feet as well. Tina wanted to make a statement, she wanted to shock Noah, and really rally the crowd. She was going to take a page out of Alaina's playbook and display her own considerable strength! Tina was outweighed by 25-30 lbs from what she could tell.

Grunting as she bent low, Tina put a hand on Noah's hip and another on his shoulder, screaming as she strained to lift him straight up overhead, locking her elbows as she held Noah high! Tina pressed up and down a couple times to wow the crowd, who were loudly cheering at this point. Tina then pressed up as hard as she could, getting as much height as possible before sending Noah crashing to the mat with a gorilla press slam! She knew that would have to have done a number to Noah, setting up another devastating move in her arsenal.... or so she hoped.
