AV 17 Hardcore Title Triple Threat: Navi Florges v Silver Ace (c) v Juno Lane (c)

While the kick to the bread basket certainly stung, and took some wind out of her sails, it didn't stop Ace completely, and, like any pro wrestler worth their salt, she recognised when she was being hoisted up for a Tombstone Piledriver, one of the most famous and feared moves in professional wrestling.



The angle on the grab on her waist, the way she was hoisted onto Navi's shoulder, all indications of what was coming next. A short drop, a sudden stop, and a new Hardcore Champion.



Only Ace had a different idea.



Once on Navi's shoulder, she shifted her weight, kicking her legs to create momentum and a counter-balance. It worked, and she dropped behind the blonde woman, on her feet, though she swiftly ducked down and, as the second Navi turned around, Ace grabbed her legs and pulled, tripping the blonde woman to the mat onto her back, while the champ, still holding her legs, flipped onto her body, holding on tightly to her legs as she attempted a matchbook pin!

"What...the...WAAH!", Navi screamed as Ace pushed with all her momentum onto Navi, looking to force her right onto her back as she countered the Tombstone Piledriver!

Navi would be disoriented as a result, hitting the back of the head on her way down, barely registering that she was trapped in a matchbook pin by Ace!

"ONE!"

Ace held on as tight as she absolutely could, doing her best to keep Navi pinned as the womans legs tried to kick, clenching her hands together for the best leverage.

"TWO!"

"Cmoncmoncmooooon..."

"THREE!"

"YES!" Ace cried, rolling off of Navi's body as the three count was reached, the bell ringing soon after. Ace sat on the mat, taking a deep breath, a smile on her face. Finally, it was over. This entire co-champion nonsense was finally over, once and for all.

The proof? The ref girl came over, helped Ace up to her feet, putting the Hardcore Title firmly in her hand and raising it into the air, for all to see.

As the 3 sounded, as the bell rung...and as the ref gave Ace her belt, Navi was fuming:

"What?! BULLSHIT! DAMNIT! FUCK!!!", the blonde screamed as she rose, hitting her fist on top of a turnbuckle, and clenching her teeth.

And, as disappointment washed over her...she knew full well that the loss was on her, allowing herself to be rolled up so easily.

Taking one hard look at Ace, she would turn away from the one true champ, and roll out of the ring. She did not want to deal with Juno by the time the woman would realize she had lost the match...and even less so when she realized she was the one who was pinned...
