Tension Tag Title Match: Eliza & Clyde vs WhiteGale (c) - The best of the best!

Eliza was inwardly predicting that Sion would kick out of this one, certainly Ms Harenwood had quickly turned the tables as she had so often done with her elegant moves. But the man of Canada was certainly able to go the distance, proof of that was given in the ladder match he had with Daisuke against the UK Elite. With Sion being the one to clamber up the steel steps and obtain the gold for WhiteGale, regardless of the outcome Eliza knew this would be a very difficult fight. Still Eliza loved the notion of it, this was her first ever title match and no quarter was given or taken.

True enough Sion kicked out, Eliza gave a quiet huff. Just because she anticipated it didn't mean she liked it, still at this point in the match a pin wasn't entirely impossible. Nevertheless she smiled at Clyde's encouragement, despite the dancing passion's lack of experience in tag teaming the pair had a clear union arguably on par with the tag team champs.

Still the male Canadian was going to be combated by Ms Harenwood, he broke the pin which meant Sion was still intent on fighting. Eliza would seek to grab Sion and prep his upper body upwards and then stand up, intent on trying to deliver some hard smacks with her leg from behind. The dancing passion was gonna try and redden his back, still she had to at least get him perched up for it. Which presented a possibility to counter after all....

Lina noticed Clyde’s reaction and grinned. Sure Sion was still shaken up from what Eliza did to him moments ago, but his lower half was pretty much untouched up to that point and when it felt Eliza grabbing hold down there it just sort of happened, like how a sleeping person might twitch when touched. Still even though the match continued Eliza was still in control of things at the moment.

Sion was about to attempt to get up on his own when he felt Eliza grabbing hold of him. He stumbled a bit from the kicks Eliza delivered and after the final one he could see Daisuke in his team’s corner. Daisuke saw him facing in her direction for a second, but wasn’t sure if he saw her. She looked ready to get back in there as she heard Eliza striking him a few times.

Sion couldn’t tell how much distance was between him and Eliza having been turned around from the kicks, but he did know he had to get her away from him if he wanted to have enough time to see if Dai was indeed ready to tag in rather than attempt to rush over there and get caught in the event Eliza was point blank behind him. He’d wait for Eliza to make a move him before acting, hoping she would go for something up high, like grabbing hold of him for something. If she did he’d plan on shoving her back to get enough space to set up for a standing drop kick, though if Eliza went for something else instead he’d be pretty much wide open.

Eliza's kicks were often useful in getting the crowd to pop, given that they often had quite the impactful sound when they connected against the bare flesh of her opponents. And needless to say, they hurt. Sion might want to consider himself lucky that Ms Harenwood wasn't targeting the head, few could endure a headshot right from the dancing passion. No this was more out of a case of further injuring the male Canadian, it was a battle of wills. Who wanted it more, Eliza knew the stakes. This was her first ever real title match, this would be marked as a milestone in her career in the years to come.

The strikes that Eliza delivered were akin to a whip, only certainly more dangerous. There was just a tinge of frustration, her earlier pin effort only garnering a one count. Nevertheless the match was still long to go, in for a penny and in for a pound. Sion however was not going to sit idly by and take this punishment.

As Eliza prepared to escalate her attack area Sion was taking the chance to attempt a counter, the man of WhiteGale would succeed in doing something rather difficult. Blocking the leg of the British dancer. And took the chance to shove her back, enough to knock Eliza off balance. As she settled herself back into her stance Sion suddenly blasted her with a dropkick!

"Agh!" Eliza shouted, she just managed to get herself covered. Not enough evidently as Eliza was knocked back onto her backside, she rubbed her arms. Sion could kick, but in the mind of Ms Harenwood it wasn't as good as what she could do. He had weight helping him. Eliza quickly glanced towards Clyde in his corner before refocusing on Sion, in her state perhaps an escape to the cowboy might be a wise choice.

After taking Eliza down with a dropkick Sion did have an opening to make a take, but it didn't seem enough of one as while he felt he could make the tag just fine, it could leave Eliza open to do the same. He would look to grab hold of Eliza's legs and go for a figure-four. While a submission win would be nice, he wanted to use it to keep Eliza's legs at bay while he went for tag.

If he managed to get the hold applied he would look to inch his way towards his team's corner while keeping the hold applied, and when he got close enough he would reach out to Dai and make a tag.

Eliza was expectant on Sion perhaps considering backing away and bringing in Daisuke, given her nature. She felt that her kicks had served to whittle down the male Canadian enough to give that notion to his head. Evidently not it seemed, because Sion continued to move forward following his dropkick and began to try for a submission upon the dancing passion. Worse yet it was a figure 4 leg lock!

Leg submissions were Eliza's bane given her penchant for her manner of offence, and Sion perhaps identified this following her assaults on him throughout tonight's bout. Nevertheless Ms Harenwood didn't panic, she had been in this situation enough times to know an escape plan was needed. Though already Eliza felt the pressure on her legs, it for a moment made her pause.

That was all however, gritting her teeth Eliza would promptly shuffle herself backwards as far back as she could. So that she could cling to the bottom rope with both hands so that Sion would be forced to release it, he'd probably milk the five seconds for all he could knowing the power of Eliza's offence. A tag was looking more appealing at this point......

While Sion had the right idea, it didn't take long for Eliza to move them in the opposite direction after making a little bit of progress to where Daisuke was. He saw Eliza grab onto the ropes and wasn't amused by it. 'Really -_-' he said to himself he held it for a little bit longer, breaking at the ref's count of three. After letting go he noticed the distance that she and Clyde had between them and didn't want to chance it being enough room for a tag on that side. He grabbed hold of her legs again, not afraid of prying her from the ropes if he had to. Looking to drag her back to where their starting position was before he would set Eliza up for a slingshot towards the corner where Daisuke was on the outside of the ropes.

If Eliza made contact with the buckles Sion would pick himself up after the contact and rush in to hold her there as he'd made a tag to Daisuke, stepping away from the corner once Daisuke got in to let her take over.

Eliza liked to think she always had a good escape plan, she knew the ring she liked to believe. It had become an important thing given her usual opponents, and the ropes had proven a good respite location. Sion was not just strong among the men of Tension, but he was also one very savvy with the squared circle. Far more than Eliza, perhaps the Canadian anticipated this move the dancing passion would do. And as it would turn out this would work in his favour, after letting go at 3 Eliza was about to commence using said ropes to prop herself up.

However Sion would seek to yank Eliza's legs, and the Brit had the rug swept under her literally. Eliza hadn't expected this, indeed it hadn't occurred to her before. And the male Canadian took advantage of this to take Ms Harenwood for a ride, Sion took her on a slingshot jump. Right into a corner turnbuckle!

The red pupil eyes of Eliza went wide as the realisation of it all hit her, and then she collided into it. With an audible ding sound before having the dancing passion fall to the mat in a crumpled heap, which earned several loud gasps of shock from the beloved fans of Eliza. Which was many, but it wasn't known if Eliza could hear them.

After getting the tag, Daisuke entered and went to grab hold of one of Eliza’s legs, telling Sion to hold up in the process. Sion was about halfway through the ropes when he heard his wife and tag partner call him back. He saw Daisuke holding on to one of Eliza’s legs and she glanced at the other for a moment before looking back at him. Cluing into where she was going with this he would look to grab hold of the other leg of Eliza, and when they were both ready they would each snap their respective held leg back as if Eliza were a wishbone. Even though Sion originally wanted to just get out of there after making the tag, it was good to see Daisuke know that it would make a difference to keep Eliza from being able to use her legs if they could help it, or at the very least keep it to a minimum.

Clyde was livid. Seeing Eliza being bullied back into their corner with the figure four before being catapulted into the turnbuckle headfirst, the sight made Clyde squeeze the ropes and look on in fear as he watched his partner just crumble to the mat.

"E-Eliza! C'mon! Hurry!" He screamed as he leaned over the ropes as much as he could with his arm while Sion tagged in Daisuke who went on to grab Eliza's leg while Sion grabbed the other. Instantly, Clyde practically flew into a rage and was already trying to stomp his way into the ring before the ref came and stopped him from leaving his corner, pushing on his chest as he tried to get through.

"Don't you dare! Don't y'all fuckin' dare! REF!" Snarled the angry cowboy with pure rage in his eyes, trying in vain to stop the double team as he feared for Eliza's body.

Eliza's head was still ringing from that harsh impact, during her time in Tension she had taken her fair share of hard hits. It came with the territory and with the fact that she was often smaller than her opponent it was often easier to send her flying about the place, Sion took advantage of this and had been able to trap the dancing passion in a very bad spot. Serving as ample proof of the male Canadian's ring awareness, and he sought to take advantage of this by getting a double team in while Eliza was stunned.

The jarring of her senses was enough to prevent Eliza from putting up much of a struggle, though it was clear that she was in a very dangerous spot. Clyde was attempting to barge in, however that was working against the challengers as the ref was preoccupied with the cowboy. Leaving the stunned dancing passion at the whims of WhiteGale, who promptly wishboned Eliza.

"Yeagrr!!!" Eliza shouted as her body jerked itself upwards, that certainly brought Ms Harenwood back to her senses. It did a considerable amount of damage to Eliza's prised legs. That said though the dancing passion was far from crippled, it might not have seemed like it but her legs were toned from years of balancing and running. However the move certainly hurt, Eliza would need a chance of fate to do anything remotely positive at this juncture though......
