Middleweight Championship Match: Lillian Byrne vs. "Tigress" Tina Armstrong (c)

[Highfly]

Tina tensed up, keeping her back arched as she held Lillian in place! She knew Lillian was a tough opponent, but the champion held out hope that maybe her rush of offense had really stunned the challenger! At the very least if Lillian did kick out it would cost her some stamina.

"ONE!"

The count began and the tigress was gritting her teeth, doing all she could to keep Lillian down after planting her to the canvas with the deadlift tiger suplex! Lillian was a hard hitter for sure, and the more Tina kept her on the defensive the better chances she had at retaining her coveted gold. Right now that was all that mattered to Tina. Her career was still fresh, and this was her first title.... her reign as middleweight champion was a reflection of who she was in the ring as well as where she was going to go!

Brought up and over by the champion, Lillian crashed to the mat after being hit with the tiger suplex, her body folding up as Tina bridged to turn the suplex into a pin, keeping the brunette girl's shoulders pinned to the mat! And soon enough, the ref would slide over to begin the count, her hand slapping the mat once as Tina attempted to pin Lillian after the tiger suplex, the brunette looking awfully dazed, in trouble still relatively early into this cage match!

"TW-"

"Gah!" Lillian let out a sudden cry as she kicked her legs upwards, aiming to break Tina's pin and flop over onto her stomach, letting out a low groan as she lay flat on the mat! The heelish woman was not looking so hot despite her good start, but she shook off the pain she felt, still relatively fresh, and began to push herself back up to her feet!

[Highfly]

Tina felt Lillian kick out forcefully, reinforcing the strength gap between the women. Tina got back up and readied herself as Lillian was quick to follow. Tina saw that Lillian was near the cage, and she stepped back.

The tigress wanted to rush forward and drive her shoulder into Lillians mid-section! Tina's goal was to use her speed and strength to smash into Lillian, driving her painfully back into the cage again!

Shoving her way up to her feet, Lillian would catch her breath now that she had a second to do so, Tina having put her through quite a bit in the last few moments, though Lillian had still kicked out of Tina's pinfall attempt! But now, as the tigress charged towards Lillian, the brunette would be able to see it coming, steeling herself at the last second in order to take Tina's spear flush, feeling some of the air leave her body, though Lillian was able to catch the champ, and lessen the impact!

"Oh no you don't... Think you've had your fun..." Lillian hissed, as with a quick motion, she would throw a wicked knee right into Tina's gut, aiming to knock the wind out of her and calm her down some!

[Highfly]

"Arrrrrghhhhhh!" Tina howled as she felt Lillian stop her spear before hammering her with a sharp knee strike! Tina slumped down to a knee, still grabbing hold of Lillian around the waist. The champ was gasping for breath, trying to collect herself as best she could but the surprise hit did knock the wind out of her leaving her wide open for more punishment if Lillian acted quickly! Tina knew this was bad, but right now there wasn't much she could do to stop Lillian from seizing the initiative in the match at a key juncture!

Steeling herself as the middleweight champion rushed at her, Lillian grunted as Tina's shoulder slammed into her, but the brunette woman had managed to wrap her arms around Tina and catch her as she came in, lessening the force of her impact so she could fight back! And with a brutal knee to the stomach, Lillian drove the air out of Tina's lungs and sent the middleweight champion down to her knees, winded after the blow, which left Lillian in a perfect position to fight back!

"Alright, let's see how cocky you are after this, bitch!" Lillian hissed angrily, grabbing Tina by the hair and yanking the champ's head in between her legs, before reaching down to wrap her arms around Tina's waist! From there, Lillian would aim to flip Tina up into a seated position atop her shoulders, before dropping to a sit, yanking down hard at the same time in order to send Tina crashing down onto the canvas with a massive sit out powerbomb to floor the champ!

[Highfly]

In Tina's vulnerable position she was unable to fight back or resist as Lillian lift her high! Tina came crashing down hard to the mat with the thumbs dwrous impact echoing through the arena!

Tina's own scream of pain also echoed as she was laid out after the powerbomb, gasping for breath as she remained largely motionless in the aftermath of Lillians assault!

[ADarlingDucky]

Flipping Tina up to her shoulders, Lillian would waste no time in suddenly dropping down to a seated position, yanking Tina down and slamming the champion to the mat with a thunderous thud, Tina letting out a cry as Lillian crushed her against the canvas! However, the challenger wasn't done, and with her arms still wrapped around Tina's thighs, she would slowly begin to stand back up, reaching down to grab Tina's arms so that she could yank her up without the champ going limp, getting her back in powerbomb position!

"Alright, one more time! But... with a twist!" Lillian cried, before rushing forwards, aiming to build up speed as she carried Tina across the ring, to the crowd's dismay! And when the finally approached the ropes, Lillian would hurl Tina up and off her shoulders, aiming for a sort of buckle bomb, but throwing the champion right at the unforgiving steel cage!

[Highfly]

Tina knew she couldn't withstand much more punishment like that and keep her title. She was again lift up by Lillian, moaning in pain. It was time to remind Lillian why she had a title belt in the first place!

As Lillian began to move Tina let out a loud scream, leaning back with everything she had, tightening her legs grip on Lillian! Tina was trying to useillians plan against her, hoping to instead send her flying into the cage with a hurricanrana instead!

[ADarlingDucky]

Hefting Tina back up and on to her shoulders, Lillian was all ready to crush the champion against the steel cage in a move that surely would have left her in a terrible position, just what the brunette needed in order to really get rolling again! However, Tina of all people was not going to let that happen easily, and as Lillian rushed towards the cage on the outside of the ring, Tina would suddenly use the brunette's momentum against her, flipping backwards and using her legs to fling the challenger into the hard steel cage wall!

"AGH!" Lillian cried as her head smashed against the cell wall, sending her bouncing off and falling down to her hands and knees, her vision swimming after taking a blow like that right to her dome! The brunette shook her head as she tried to rise back up to her feet, knowing that it was a game of who would be able to recover from the other's offense faster!
