LAW Apex Match: Tina 'Tigress' Armstrong vs. Kathleen Hendricks - Steel Cage Match

[TickTock]

Kathleen held the head of Tina's, and was prepared to turn around and deliver the second Culmination of the match, and put this away once and for all. However, before she could, a hard kick suddenly nailed the Queen right in the stomach, making her stumble and release her hold. The kick had stunned Kathleen, who now felt a hard tug on her hair, and her head ended up between the legs of the Tigress, and her arms were hooked!

And no matter how hard she tried, her arms weakly pulling against the hold of Tina's, yet doing no good to break away. Her strength was drained from the rest of the match, and now, it seemed that she was going to go up for the Tiger Bomb!

[Highfly]

Tina had Kathleen in position for the tiger bomb and even though she was really hurting she grunted doing all she could to get that full lift to heft Kathleen into the air! Tina was going for broke here and if she was successful she wanted to tiger bomb Kathleen down in the middle of the ring hard enough to send her through it! The tigress was putting all she had into this one and would do her best to absolutely devastate Kathleen to set up her victory!

[TickTock]

Kathleen was weak, her arms unable to yank themselves free from the grasp, and the rest of her body refused to move. The power at the hands of the TIgress, along with that hard fall from the top of the cage had drained her of all her energy, and thus, the lock of Tina's was cinched in tight. The Queen could only pant as she was stuck in this position, before that hard lift, and she found herself before powered up and flipped over.

But... she couldn't allow this! To be so close to achieving her goal of winning in Apex, and putting her bitter rival down for good! As she was flipped up, Kathleen could feel an ounce of strength left inside of her. One born out of desperation. And she had to make the most use out of it as she could.

With her body lifted up, Kathleen kicked her legs forward as to push herself forward, and instead of landing on the shoulders of Tina, she'd instead slide over the top of her, and landing atop her feet. With her back to Tina's, such a position was just where she needed to be. Her arms lifted up behind her to secure the head of Tina's, before sitting out, to drive the back of the Tigress's skull and neck against her shoulder, for the second Culmination of the match!

If the move was delivered, Kathleen remained seated for a second, panting and staring blankly ahead. With the last bit of strength she had depleted to deliver her finisher, she could only fall backward, with her back draped over her opponent for the pin!

[Highfly]

Tina lift Kathleen up and felt the shift, and it was too late for her to stop it. Tina fell backward and was grabbed by Kathleen, her head and neck smashing to the mat as the second culmination struck! Tina howled in pain then went limp, laid out and looking up at the lights. The tigress appeared lifeless after the second culmination struck.

Tina was down, motionless and laid out as the official moved in to begin the count.

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

Tina thrust up and bucked weakly at the last second once... and then again....

"THREE!"

The bell rang and Tina's weak attempts to kick out were in vain, she stayed down and defeated. She was still laid out in a heap on the mat at the hands of Kathleen as her opponents music played with Tina having lost the Apex final......

[TickTock]

Kathleen wanted to get a more secure pin in, but her body didn't have the energy for it. All she could do was lay her back over the top of Tina's body, and hope for the best. Sweating, panting, and just praying that her finisher hit for the second time was enough to put the Tigress down for good.

ONE! TWO! THREE!

And it was. At long last, Kathleen had done it. She had finally put away Tina, with the last ounce of strength she had left in her body. With that final count, her body slowly rolled off, and the Queen laid next to Tina. At first unmoving, but slowly pushing upward. Bit by bit, until finally, she managed to get to her knees. There, she was able to absorb the moment.

The booing fans, but also some of the cheering ones. Regardless of their reaction, they were roaring. Kathleen had won her Apex match, and was qualified to win the Openweight title, the prize she fought so hard for.

Glancing over, Kathleen looked down upon her fallen opponent, laid out and staring up at the lights. A woman who took her to the absolute limit, and was mere seconds away from defeating her for a second time... and all the Queen could offer her was spitting in her direction.

The Queen of Domination had won the day. And after a painful rise to her feet, she walked off, ready to heal up, and hopefully hear the announcement of her winning of the Openweight title soon...

WINNER: KATHLEEN HENDRICKS
