Main Event: Alizeh Midori vs Kyoko Akan (c) - Standard Match for the Middleweight Championship

[Fairy Dragon]

Kick, punch, kick, punch. Kyoko didn't have time to think she had to stop Alizeh from injuring her ankle and show her how the champ continued to find ways to win from the impossible situations she found herself in. It actually started to work, she could see Alizeh grimacing, realizing that this position wasn't the free damage zone she hoped it would be and that even in her designated specialty she was going to work for it. Kyoko could almost smile, until Alizeh started to twist her leg and start to get up. This was the moment of truth, Alizeh wasn't going to abandon the leg when she still saw it as a chance to weaken Kyoko for the win, and Kyoko had to act now if she wanted to stop her.

Once she was on her feet Kyoko scrambled to turn over and get her hands on the mat, she didn't have any time to waste. Before Alizeh could do anything Kyoko would try to catch her before she was firmly on her feet and roll through, if Alizeh didn't let her leg go she would try to bring her closer and use her leg to hook under Alizeh's armpit while grabbing her leg and forcing Alizeh to roll with her. If all this worked out she would bring Alizeh down to her back and by holding both of Alizeh's legs she would have her in a pinning position!

Despite catching Kyoko flush with her counter and securing the woman in a vicious knee bar Alizeh was having a bit of trouble keeping the Belly Queen secured in the hold. Particularly due to the woman's sheer stubbornness in resisting the hold, slamming fists and kicks into Alizeh's chest and hands, gradually weakening her grip on the woman until Alizeh eventually had to abandon the hold altogether.

The hold, but not Kyoko's leg as Alizeh got up to a standing position with Kyoko's limb in tow, prepared to perform a dragon screw. However in a surprising bt of ingenuity from the Belly Queen she managed to pull herself close enough to Alizeh to grab her leg and pull her down, effectively rolling Alizeh up into a pinfall attempt!

"ONE!"

Before Alizeh allowed the count to climb too high however Alizeh would use her leg strength while they were over Kyoko's arms to push down on her shoulders while curling her abdominals in. Trying to unseat Kyoko's weight while pushing her down to the mat so that Alizeh would end up on top of her, reversing her pinfall attempt into one of her own!

[Fairy Dragon]

Quick thinking turned it around, putting Alizeh on her back for a roll up pin and keeping Alizeh from continuing her attack on her leg. The ref moved quickly but Kyoko could already feel Alizeh trying to fight the hold before the first count could be made, and after the ref slapped the mat for a count of 1 she was already pushing her off of the top by pushing her so Kyoko would fall back down until she was flat on her back and Alizeh was leaning on her for a pin instead. The ref took another position and tried to continue counting.

"ONE!"

Just like before Kyoko didn't wait too long to fight the pin, she'd bridge her head to get her shoulders off the mat and kick with her leg to try and roll out and go through, this would have her roll backwards and free herself from the hold. Instead of moving away Kyoko would then grab Alizeh's legs and pull them up with her so she could roll Alizeh back and then jump over Alizeh so that she was folded up when Kyoko landed feet first on the other side. She would arch her body and tighten her stomach muscles to make a bridge to try and put weight on Alizeh's legs and keep her folded up for a second pin attempt.

Just like seemingly the whole rest of the match, just like the entire dynamic between Alizeh and Kyoko thus far in general, this was turning into another competition between champion and challenger. Kyoko starting with a pin, only for Alizeh to reverse into a pinfall of her own, just for Kyoko to turn it right back around but in a deeper sense. Kicking out briefly before gripping Alizeh's legs and pulling them up and over herself as Kyoko leapt forward, bridging her legs past Alizeh for the hold.

Alizeh wasn't about to be outdone however. Grunting as the ref counted one and just before they could slap the mat for a two count Alizeh would twist her body to the side, getting her shoulders up and breaking the pin while holding onto Kyoko's arms to make her roll with her before Alizeh kept the momentum going until Kyoko was on her back and Alizeh was on her stomach.

If successful Alizeh would quickly get her legs under her before pushing up to her feet, aiming to grab hold of Kyoko's own legs, pulling them back before raising her legs up and hooking both her legs around Kyoko's own and then falling backwards over Kyoko's body to land on her hands, pushing herself up to keep a bridge and lock in her own pinfall back on Kyoko!

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko's bridged herself for a pin, fighting the struggling challenger she'd folded up like this until the ref could start counting. Just like last time she could only get a 1 count, Alizeh kicked out soon after that to prevent Kyoko from getting any further by pushing herself to the side far enough to get a shoulder up. Kyoko's bridge remained and she would try to turn as well when Alizeh grabbed her arms to prevent her from doing that, trying to keep her on her back while pushing herself up and grabbing her legs. This time she tried to roll her up again and used her legs to hold Kyoko down, standing on her hands for extra elevation.

"ONE!"

For the 4th time the pin wouldn't make it past one before Kyoko kicked by pushing her arms to the mat to create space to roll her head up and break the pin, raising the both of them a little higher when she did it. Kyoko would fall to her side and push Alizeh to create some separation, only this time it wasn't to set up a new pin. Instead once her legs were free Kyoko would ideally be position behind Alizeh and would try to come up and bring her up so she could jump and grab her, jumping up and bringing Alizeh down for a backstabber.

[Bare]

Managing to successfully create the pinfall reversal once again Alizeh had bridged herself up, using her legs to create what she hoped would be a more assertive force over the woman's own legs, holding her down to hopefully create a three count. Unfortunately however the hold wasn't as successful as she hoped it would be with Kyoko once again getting free before the pinfall could continue past one.

Worst yet before Alizeh could get her bearings the Belly Queen would move in, grabbing the greenette and forcing her up to her feet before leaping up, and bringing her knees down on Alizeh's back as she came down, smashing Alizeh with a back breaker! "Gah!" Alizeh yelled out in pain from the move, bouncing off the champion's legs and rolling to the side, holding her back and grimacing in pain!

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko dropped Alizeh on her knees to weaken the back for later. She watched Alizeh roll around in pain and smiled, now she had clear control again. The champ was going to enjoy this now that Alizeh had run her mouth more, disrespecting her ever since Kyoko chose her to be the next challenger. With Alizeh's back out Kyoko took a look at her belly which was clear of any damage, no sign of the knee from before on it. She wanted to fix that and stood up to take a running punt to Alizeh's gut.

"No breaktime out of the ring this time Alizeh. Show me you can take it like a champ if you think you're ready to be one." Kyoko said before she leaned down and would punch Alizeh's belly. Pulling her fist away just to throw another one down and keep the focus on Alizeh's abs after having tried to wrestle with her for the past few minutes.

[Bare]

Alizeh was firmly in her technical mindset, going counter for counter with Kyoko over the last few minutes, and arguably on the verge of winning the technical exchange between them. Which was perhaps why Kyoko broke away, taking the brief lull to pull Alizeh up and dropping her backwards to land a backstabber on Alizeh that had the greenette reeling in response!

Perfect for the Belly Queen to do what she did best, driving a punt kick into Alizeh's stomach! "Ugh!" Alizeh cried out in pain, getting sent flopping by the blow with Kyoko quick to follow. Seizing the greenette and keeping her from moving Alizeh was now subject to punch after punch to her stomach! "Ngh! Agh!" Ugh!" Alizeh groaned out in pain with each blow, unable to react for now, but she was biding her time, sucking in what breath she could, and waiting for when she'd have the right opportunity to counter!

[Fairy Dragon]

The belly punches kept connecting, giving Alizeh no time to turn and escape Kyoko's wrath. Everyone knew this would happen, the Belly Queen wasn't about to let Alizeh escape without taking more than her abs were used to enduring and if Alizeh came prepared she knew to be ready for this moment and knew it was going to hurt. For Kyoko it was fun, she smiled more seeing Alizeh's body struggle to take each punch.

"How do you have a girl like that 12 pack beast and have abs like this? You can take a punch but if this was for my other belt this match might already be over." Kyoko taunted, throwing one last punch before she would step to the side, then jump to drop her knees down on Alizeh's belly to really cause her stomach some pain.

[Bare]

Alizeh grunted and groaned in pain with each punch from Kyoko, the blows certainly hurting but it was nothing that she couldn't deal with, not when she knew she'd have a window. After all Kyoko, whenever she got an advantage got comfortable, and in turn she got cocky so she knew she'd have a chance too not just get even with Kyoko, but make the woman pay with interest. Sure enough, as if announcing it she mentioned Kate while mocking her which immediately got Alizeh's attention as she glared up at her opponent, knowing she had to do something, not just cause of Kyoko daring to utter her girlfriend's name, but also because if she was talking, it meant that she was going for something else.

Sure enough after saying so the Belly Queen would stand up, jumping up and coming down, apparently intent on driving a knee drop into Alizeh! Well not if the greenette had anything to say about it. Pushing her hands against the mat and lifting her legs up Alizeh would pull herself up and backwards to avoid the drop, but not just avoid, as Kyoko came down Alizeh would shoot her legs forward, intending on driving both her feet directly into Kyoko's stomach as she fell, so not only would her knees hit nothing but mat, but she'd also get some stomach pain herself made worse by the Queen's own descent!
