SS 19 AFW Championship - Alison Seong (c) vs. Adrian Kytes

Alison couldn't get the break she wanted as Adrian was quick to pounce on her, quickly cutting off her escape and locking her arm around Adrian's leg in a hammer lock like hold. She growled, trying to pull her arm free with her superior strength but Adrian quickly rolled over, locking her head and leg as she was rolled up! Alison's eyes widened as she kicked her legs furiously, trying to break out of the roll up as the referee got into place.

"ONE!"

Alison wasn't going to let her title reign be ended by a roll up, especially one such like this as she tucked both of her legs in and threw them up as hard as she could to try and break free!

It was a bit much to think a rollup would work this early, Alison's kick out was more than enough to roll her back onto her knees and out of the former cosplayer's grasp for the moment, but the challenger wasn't just trying to get a cheap and quick win out of the cradle. If it had worked against all odds that would have been great, but the hold had spun the champion around, getting the two fighters to face each other while the referee turned to confirm the one count to the timekeeper.

Time Adrian not-so-subtley used to poke the dark haired champion in the eye while they were scrambling back up to their feet, earning a stern rebuke from the crowd for the opportunistic strategy.

Alison forced her way out of the pin as she flopped up, twisting around to land on her hands and knees before shooting up to stand on her knees, ready to get her hands on Adrian and make her pain for that quick pin attempt. However, before she had a chance to get a hold of Adrian or even focus her eyes on her, a quick thumb to the eye stopped everything that Alison was doing to shout out in pain as her hand shot to her eye.

She almost fell right back to the mat if it wasn't for her other hand as her teeth gritted fiercely. The audacity of her challenger to jab at her eye like this! Scrambling about, Alison attempted to find the ropes and climb up it to her feet as she tried to find Adrian with her good eye, stuck in a defensive position!

Uncharacteristically for AFW officials, the referee noticed Alison's sudden flail and blind grab for the ropes combined with Adrian's self-satisfied smug smirk and put two-and-two together. It didn't take a genius to figure out what had happened to the champion which was good considering the average IQ of a wrestling ref and as such Adrian's much needed time to press the assault was cut in by the striped shirt wearing bitches' incessant squabbling. By the time she'd gotten over to Alison, the champion was already in the ropes and on her feet.

Pushing her into the ropes and grabbing the raven haired fighter by the wrist, Adrian attempted to send Alison running off with an Irish whip, getting ready for the rebound with her arm cocked and ready to throw the biggest elbow strike she could at the running wrestler.

Alison had to blink a few times to allow her eye to open and even then her vision with it was still blurred as she saw Adrian coming closer towards her after the referee started to reprimand her. It was odd for Alison to have the referee's support and she herself not doing anything to warrant her own warning. The short rest on the rope was enough for Alison to get her bearings as she locked her free arm around the rope as Adrian grabbed her other, trying to pull her off the ropes.

Planting her feet into the mat, Alison refused to budge from the ropes as she pulled her arm, trying to negate Adrian's irish whip with her own power before whipping her head up and showing the fury in her eyes before yanking on the arm, trying to jerk Adrian towards her before flinging her head forward for a stiff headbutt!

Adrian's yank of the wrist didn't get the result she wanted on the first try, forcing the former cosplayer to brace herself for the second attempt "Come on-your not that heavyyyyyy!" The former cosplayer yelped as the two were snapped together, the bigger fighter's forehead drilling into her own as Alison used the momentum to send Adrian straight down to the canvas with one headbutt.

Alison's feet dug into the mat harder as Adrian tried to yank her off of the rope again, her arm tightening around the ring rope as she kept herself locked in place as she pulled Adrian in. Swinging her head forward, skulls smacked together for an audible smack as Alison dropped Adrian to the mat, while she herself slumped, only staying on her feet with the assistance of the ropes as she gripped her head, trying to shake the cobwebs out of her before dropping forward and attempting to lock in a pin!

Adrian did not have the luxury of the ropes as she fell backwards, what she did have was the luxury of the few seconds that Alison took to get her bearings before going for a basic pin attempt. The brunette could have done with a lot more seconds, possibly an hour if there was time, but no. The champion was going for the pin on a challenger who looked as though she wasn't just looking up at the lights but was out like one too.

Adrian only dully heard the count of "TWO!" before she reflexively threw her shoulder off the canvas before she gathered her thoughts and realised which direction up was.

Hooking the leg and arm right in the face to grind down on Adrian's face, Alison held her opponent down looking to end her attempts at Championship glory as she got the two count. But that was all she got as she was shoved right off. Rolling over to a seated position as she brought her hand up to rub at her eye, her vision slowly clearing up as her features twisted with anger as she rose up, her eyes locked on Adrian as she stood over her.

She had nothing but disdain in her eyes regarding her challenger as she brought her foot up to kick at Adrian's head, although it was far less forceful than anything else she threw at Adrian. "Come on. Get up. Not so crafty now that your ass is on the mat huh? Come on! Get up!" she progressively got louder as she continued to kick at Adrian's head, continuing to spitefully toy with her challenger!

Adrian was still woozy as Alison kicked her in the head, adding another rotation to the spinning as she tried to stagger back to her feet without the assistance of any of the ropes. It took a few tries as the champion kept kicking her down whenever she tried but eventually she made it, even if it came with a few more scuff marks across her cheek than she would have liked.
