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

Ruthless and unrelenting, Alison continued to kick at Adrian's head and face, knocking her down every time as Adrian continued to try and stand to her feet. Reaching out to grab the side of her head, while reaching out to grab Adrian's wrist as she shoved into her, attempting to push her all the way back to the ropes. Once there she would try to fling Adrian off of the ropes with an irish whip, sending her racing across of the ring while moving to the center, waiting for Adrian to return.

If she was successful, she would wrap her arms around Adrian as she came back, spinning and lifting her off of the mat at a high angle before dropping down onto her knee, leaving her other posted up attempting to slam Adrian down right onto it!

Adrian was pretty much putty in Alison's hands as she sent her for an impromptu sprint across the ring, and when she brought the brunette down for a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker it was all the worse. An ungodly groan of pain passed Adrian's lips as she hung limply over the champion's outstretched knee, flopping over and back down to canvas with an appointment with the physio already booked for the post-match.

Dropping Adrian down onto her knee in painful fashion, everyone who saw how Adrian flopped on the knee recoil in pain as Alison would keep her opponent on her knee, reaching for a handful of hair to pull Adrian up enough to then swing her other arm for a clothesline, looking to bash Adrian off of her knee in painful eviction, twisting her entire body to deliver full momentum crashing into Adrian's chest!

Adrian wouldn't be able to recall what exactly propelled her into action at that moment when Alison sat her up for more punishment, but when the champion released her grip on the former cosplayer's singlet to swing for the fences Adrian was able to lean back and grab the arm meant to take her head clean off. Using the Korean fighter's own momentum she was essentially backflipped over the clothesline and reached out to wrap her arm over Alison's head mid-rotation like a socialist octopus, allowing her to make the full swing and shoot her legs around the champion's waist.

To the surprise of the crowd, the champion and herself, Adrian had come from the jaws of defeat to sink her fangs into Alison Seong instead, pulling the champion head-first into the canvas as Adrian locked in a sudden Guillotine Choke.

Alison swung with all of her weight into the arm, trying best for best murder by clothesline with her intent of ripping Adrian's head right off of her shoulders, however she was met with nothing but air as Adrian had leaned back and rolled off of her knee and out of danger as Alison was left stumbling to catch herself as she dropped to both knees. Before she had a chance to recover, Adrian was quick to recover and press her offensive in the middle of evading as she wrapped her arm around Alison's head! Her eyes widened, confused by the speed and sudden shift of momentum as Adrian began to squeeze on her head, legs wrapping around her waist and locked in a Guillotine Choke!

Alison's weight was positioned too far forward as the straining on her back was making it difficult to keep upright despite knowing that on the ground was the worst possible option for Alison, the Champion slowly fell forward, laying on top of Adrian as she was being sapped of her strength!

Her back was hurting and she was still seeing colours that weren't there from the headbutt, but the choke was locked in tight and Alison was face down on the floor, fading out. "Come on ref!" Adrian called out as she tried to squeeze down, hoping that a sudden submission was on the cards.

Leaning forward on her knees with Adrian choking the life out of her, Alison could feel her body beginning to fade as the referee got close, asking if she wanted to give up! Alison gritted her teeth, refusing to let this be the end of her championship reign! Her arms tightened around Adrian, knees digging into the mat as she pushed up, lifting Adrian off of the mat with her superior strength although it was no small task.

Lifting the deadweight of someone while hunched over could result in a strained back, something that would greatly hinder someone like Alison. However, she didn't think about what could happen, but only about what should happen. Which was breaking out of this hold as she kept on rising up onto her feet, wrapping her arms tightly around Adrian to support her weight and not allow a sudden shift in balance.

Once she had her feet firmly planted on the mat, she would attempt to catch Adrian's head with her arm, hooking it against her arm pit as she grabbed a handful of Adrian's suit at her hip, planning to try and lift Adrian up for a suplex before attempting to fall forward, letting Adrian keep on rotating to drive her down for an X-Plex!

Adrian was all gritted teeth as she hung on to Alison's neck, only for her strategy to backfire in a huge way "No no no, nononononono stay down!" the former cosplayer yelped as the champion managed to not only pick herself up of the canvas but take the challenger along for the ride as well "Go back down!" she insisted, adjusting herself to try and land a few hammer blows between the shoulder blades while she uncurled her legs to avoid being charged into the corner. Unfortunately for the brunette, she had just played into the Raven haired fighter's hands.

"Crapsnacks." She whispered as her head was caught under Alison's arm while she tugged at the waist band, trying to brace herself for when she was flung in the air harshly and left to splat down on the canvas painfully, the dizzyness from the sudden spin acting as a natural anesthetic to counter the feeling that her back bone was no longer connected to her hip bone.

Planting her weight and popping her hips, Alison managed to lift Adrian up and over before dropping flat on the mat while forcing Adrian to spin in the air and crash on her back. With a hand on her throat, the Champion coughed for air as she took a quick breather to recollect herself. After getting her bearings, she would turn towards Adrian and lay down on top of her, hooking the arm and leg of her Challenger to go for a pin!

"ONE!"

While it might be small conselation to someone who had just got flipped/turned upside down, her brief chokehold had bought Adrian a few more seconds of recovery time while Alison got her breath back, just enough to let the brunette jerk her arm up off the canvas defiantly at the count of "TWO!" Throwing herself onto her side underneath the champion, not looking to be in any state to fight back, but no longer looking dead on the mat.
