Leah's Theme:

Leah Shaw:

As her music hit, Leah slipped out from behind the curtain, beaming happily to have another match. This time it was going to be straightforward with no hanky panky. That was fine with her. She didn't know who she was facing beyond a name. Levi the Great. It sounded imposing, like some big conqueror or something. She wasn't even sure if it was a girl or a guy. With a name like that it seemed like it could be either.

She made her way down the ramp, oozing confidence and energy. While she was still widely unknown, she got a decent amount of cheers and a few cat calls. She didn't mind at all, though it was a good thing her brother wasn't here, he might have. She enjoyed the praise regardless. She worked hard to look the way she did. Looking was fine, touching was another thing.

She reached out to brush a few outstretched hands as she made her way to the ring, mindful to only really touch the ones who seemed genuinely excited to see her for whatever reason. As she reached the ring, she rolled herself under the bottom rope and popped up to throw her arms high making the V sign with a shout. A few people cheered back, enough to make her smile. Turning around to eye the ramp, she bounced on her feet, stretching her arms and back as she waited to see what was in store for her

Levi's Theme:

Levi The "Great:

So there it was, his debut, one that he's been waiting for since joining. And Levi was here to impress. It was a new start for him. Whatever happened in the past, that was behind him. Clean slate for him and he was ready to kick some ass. Wrestling was his passion. And he is ready to give his all tonight.

His theme blasted on the speakers next after Leah, slipping out of the curtains with a cocky smile sorta hidden from his hoodie as he looked down. Having a microphone in hand, he raises it up near his lips. "Ladies and gentlemen... Get on your feet and raise your hands...Coz The Great One is coming to the stage... welcome to your future Tension World Champion....LEVI - THE GREAT!!" He looks up, watching the opponent, also new in fact. Not looking impress at Leah."And you…best be ready girl. Cause I'm about to kick your ass!” Dropping the microphone before rushing down to the ramp and sliding inside the ring. Wearing black elbow pads, black hand gloves, black knee pads, black boots and black pants with red flames. Standing up, face to face, he scoffed at his opponent.

Leah perked as she eyed the entry ramp. The song was familiar too. Something she had heard somewhere before but couldn't place it. There was no doubt now, Levi was a guy. He sounded pretty confident too. She supposed that is were the name came from. She found herself clapping lightly when he proclaimed himself a future Tension champion, something she never thought she would reach for some time.

She blinked at his warning to her, pretty standard for most wrestlers but a claim not to be taken lightly. She winced at the feedback from the dropped microphone, taking a step back from mid ring. Once they were eye to eye and he was making disgusted faces at her, she furrowed her brow. It didn't seem this was an act. She would have to be careful, given the chance he mind actually try to hurt her.

"Let's have a good match.. okay?" She offered a small courtesy in hopes he wasn't quick as bad a person as he suddenly seemed to be. She even gave him a soft friendly smile. Leah parted her legs, shoulders hunched as she raised her arms in a grappling stance, just in time for the bell to ring.

Face to face in the ring, Levi stood with Leah staring her down with arrogance and confidence. He certainly was acting like his name would say, although as he stands, he doesn't seems to look great, no doubt shorter than most men. Then again, the former Tension World Champion was 5'7" Don't have to be big to do well.

Confidence can be healthy. But it seems that Levi might have gone past that. And what Levi said, he meant it. Levi scoffed and looked at her quizzically when she offered the courtesy. If she was gonna do well in Tension then she is gonna have to face opponents that would fight rough. He sighed though. "Sure. Whatever." Fuck the whole handshaking part, lets just get this match started already.

He mirrored her stance and getting into a wrestler stance, raising his arms, ready to do battle. When the bell rings, Levi would soon charge straight at her, not wasting time and looking to lock up with Leah with a collar and elbow. Let's see how strong she really is.

As Levi moved in, she met him, immediately locking up. His initial charged afforded him a bit more of an advantage as she had to take a step back. Once she squared up however, he found her rather solid, near immovable. The seemed to be almost evenly matched as her own attempts to shove him back seemed to not yield much at all.

She circled the middle of the ring while the two were still tied up, trying to press any sort of angle she could to gain some ground. Her arms shook at the straining, she had been determined to try and strictly overpower Levi but that wasn't working.

If Levi didn't make a move first, she would. Leah took a staggered step back, trying to yank herself free from their lock up, grasping at the opponents elbow and wrist to send him towards the ropes. If she managed to send him off, she would take off to the other side of the ring to hit the ropes as well to meet him again in the middle with a simple drop kick.

Heh. So she wasn't weak. Not that it mattered much, even if his opponent would be evenly matched in strength, Levi was the greatest in his mind. She just doesn't know it yet.

Though it will take a while since this lock up was at a stalemate, neither really gaining the advantage over the other. Despite the earlier part where Levi did manage to make Leah step back, nothing much else. Just two circling around with one trying to overpower the other.

Leah was the first to break the lock up, grasping at his arm to whip him to the ropes, Levi feeling them on his back before bouncing off them, only to receive a dropkick right to the gut, sending him onto his back. Though he wasn't going to stay down however, Levi scrambling to get up to one knee, almost crouching, looking at Leah with a snarl. "Hmmph. Nice trick, girl..."

Leah braced her legs as she pulled, sending Levi to the ropes with all the power she could muster happy to see him off. She had to hurry though to make sure what came next went off without a hitch. Turning on her heel she charged to the far ropes, twisting to throw her back into the cables.

She came rocketing back, focused in on Levi. She leapt up, body twisting to pull her horizonal, legs outstretched to dig her boots into his chest, throwing the man to the floor with a thud. She landed on he back with a safe fall, leaning herself up to a crouch to rise fully.

Levi was already getting up as well, the kick had barely managed to keep him down at all much to her disappointment. "It's not a trick, it's called skill." She poked out her tongue at him as she rose to her feet fully, trudging towards him. She rolled her shoulder, winding up her arm as she stepped in on him, trying to sweep her arm around in a lariat aimed at his upper body the moment he stood up.

Hard as that kick was, it was going to take a lot to keep this guy down. Especially since the match has only begun. Not wanting to stay down longer, Levi got up to crouching position only to meet a cheeky Leah taunting him. 

"You were lucky. Nothing more." He growled as he would try to get himself up. Can't have this cocky little girl get the momentum. Leah was the first to rise up and the first to go for the attack. Despite him still rising up, Levi sense he could use it to his advantage. 

Just as her arm swung at him, Levi would attempt to duck under the arm of Leah in the lariat and step under it. If successful, Levi would step back in with a forearm strike. Either at the back of the head if she doesn't turn round or square in the mouth if she does. Either way, it's firing at head level.

Leah had cocked her arm back like the hammer of a gun. With her final step in at Lavi she let it fly throwing all her power and weight into the blow, her arm arcing through the air in a violent sweep... And hit nothing! "What?"

She took a staggered step forward when she whiffed, the follow through  of the heavy attack was too much to remain stationary. She let out a gasp, eyes darting to and catch a glimpse of her opponent out of the corner of her eye. Instead all she catch was a solid forearm strike to the head.

Her head snapped to the side, a plume of crisp blond hair billowing out around her as she fumbled to the side, struggling to keep her footing. She teetered, arms flailing as she fought and succeeded to keep herself upright. Without thinking, she whirled back around in the direction she knew Levi was, throwing a mean right hook. The swing was blind, no real way of knowing he would even be there or not.

A good thing he remained facing Leah. Had he had his back facing her he would have caught the hard lariat. But his quick thinking managed to keep him out of harm's way. 

Ducking underneath the arm of Leah, Levi threw his own arm towards Leah. Or in this case, his forearm as it stuck her right in the head. Just as he wanted it. Though that wasn't enough to floor her as she fought to keep standing before returning with a wild right hook that was rather blind. One mistake that he wasn't going to forgive.

His left forearm would come up, just getting up so he would block Leah's punch, looking to knock his forearm with hers to stop it before it reaches his head. He would soon counter by throwing his right leg up for a gut kick, looking to double her over. If he did then he would press on with his offence, wrapping his right arm over her head and her right draped over the back of his neck, the Great One attempting to grab on the waistband and lift her up for a suplex.
