AV 19 Main Event World Championship - Adrian Kytes (c) vs. Alaina Sanders

Alaina's thrust wasn't just enough to break Adrian's grip and kick out of the pin,the flailing free leg caught the champion on the side of the head leaving a big red spot to contrast against the more focused bruise on the opposite side of Adrian's face from the earlier shining wizard. "Dammit..." the former cosplayer groaned as she was sent crawling for the ropes, her latest desperate ploy not getting her any closer to walking away with the title belt back around her waist.

Climbing back up to her feet, the champion staggered back into the centre of the ring, head still spinning as she backed straight into the rising amazon.

Adrian was scrambling, desperate and losing control.... this is precisely what Alaina wanted! With a big grin on her face Alaina grabbed hold of Adrian to spin her around! "That title is as good as mine, I will be the best Friction Champion AFW has ever seen!" Alaina screamed as she rammed her knee into Adrian's abdomen, then followed up with two stiff punches to the same spot, capping it with a shot to Adrian's jaw! The amazon was out to assert herself and get Adrian in a daze, leading up to a setup for an amabomb to put Adrian away for good!

Alaina's combo to the midsection perfectly set up the champion to go sprawling from the shot to the jaw, knocking her flat on her back while the bigger woman went back to what she had tried to do before she had been rudely interrupted by Adrian's earlier escape: getting ready to put the champ through the floor.

While the former cosplayer might have been dazed, she still had enough awareness to know that she did not want her head trapped between the Amazon's thighs. So when Alaina tried to yank her back into prime position for a powerbomb, Adrian managed to roll past and out of the amazon's grip before setting off for the ropes beyond. She still had enough stamina left to get a burst of speed going as she leapt into the cables, trying to get as much of a spring effect as possible to launch her back towards the amazon, leaping into the air with her arms raised to deliver a flying forearm, HBK style.

Alaina felt Adrian slip away and she turned in time to see Adrian bounce off the ropes to rocket back at her! Adrian flew into the air as she reached out in a hurry trying to grab Adrian as she was in mid-air. Alaina was trying to get hold of her, lift her up and spin around to powerslam the unsuspecting champion to the mat! Alaina put everything she had into the counter, smashing Adrian against the canvas as hard as she could before bouncing back up to her feet as the crowd roared!

"Yeah! This is over, that title is mine!" Alaina shouted out to the crowd as they cheered, the amazon caught up in the big moment.

Alaina wasn't the only one who bounced from that spinning powerslam: the impact did more than drive the former cosplayer spine-first into the canvas with enough torque to give the champion whiplash, Adrian's head also bounded off the mat leaving the champion covering her face for some reason as she covered her face. "Fuck fuck fuck fuckfuck!" Adrian breathlessly screamed as she pressed her forehead down into the canvas as the referee tried to get in to see what caused such a violent reaction and if she was going to have to call a premature end to the contest.

With constant cursing, Adrian managed to get up to her knees as Alaina finished her celebrations "I think something got knocked loose or something..." she tried to explain to the attentive official.

"Like a tooth?" The ref girl guessed.

"Not in the mouth! Like... fuck! In my eye or something, really hurts... like... I dunno, detached retina? That's happened in a match before." Adrian winced. She was no eye doctor, and neither was the official. While the striped uniforms came with first-aid training, a bit of paramedic knowledge and a glass jaw, optician training was not part of the deal.

"I'll just uh..." The official stumbled, trying to find some way to resolve the situation. Would the title change hands if she called it here? Would Adrian try to fight half-blind? Or was the most likely scenario that the champion was faking it to buy a little time before Alaina put her away.

Adrian had called the referee over and Alaina stormed over to keep taking the fight to Adrian only to have the referee actively get in the way to block the angered amazon! "What the hell!? Are you kidding me?! Get out of the way she is faking it to buy time, let us fight the way we are supposed to!" Alaina pleaded to the referee. She was getting flashbacks of her first Entropy Title match against Gwendolyn when the referee counted slowly when Alaina pinned Gwen, and then turned around to give a quicker than normal count when Gwen pinned the amazon. She didn't want the official to cost her a title again, especially not on this stage. At this point of Alaina's career it took her so long to get a shot at the Friction title and going back down the ranks would be devastating to her!

Alaina had hit the nail on the head: while the champ was reeling from her powerslam, any theatrics at this point was a blatant attempt to stall out some recovery time. After all, Adrian was determined to hang on to her title by any means necessary and any referee stoppage at this stage would essentially award the Amazon the championship by TKO, while she might have tried to weasel out of matches feigning an injury before a match, once a match started there was no point... except to stall out Alaina's relentless offence.

Adrian's initial plan was rumbled, with her still pawing around the canvas covering her face it was only a matter of time before either the referee called her out and then Alaina dropped her on her neck, or Alaina drops her on her neck before the ref did anything about the champ's act and pinned her anyway. She had to act now. Reaching up, she managed to get herself between Alaina and the official, still on her knees and grabbing a handful of the referee's loose shirt. With a quick yank, she pulled the official off balance and away while the arm that had covered her face moved quickly to launch itself between the Amazon's legs, giving the challenger a nasty low blow in the brief window she had while the ref couldn't pay attention.

Alaina didn't see the sneaky low blow coming! The dirty move hammered her and sent a pulse of pain through her body dropping her to her knees! "AARRRGGGGHHHHH!" Alaina bellowed as she dropped to her knees gasping for breath as the low blow did exactly what it was intended to do! She shook her head, mouth agape in agony as she couldn't believe this was happening. The referee was clueless and right now the amazon challenger was powerless to act as Adrian used her sneaky tactics to create an opening.

As soon as the Amazon let out a blood curdling scream of pain Adrian Kytes was back on the move, not even taking the time to gloat about outsmarting the bigger woman as she scrambled past, trying to get upright by the time she hit the ropes behind Alaina. It had taken multiple violations of the rule book but Adrian had the challenger exactly where she wanted her, only problem was: after being thrown around like she had this match, she wasn't feeling 100% confident about getting the bigger woman up for the Lag Spike but with her kneeling down nursing her aching crotch, Adrian didn't need to.

Trying to get as much speed up as she possibly good, Adrian sent her left leg hurtling passed the Amazon while aiming her right knee at the back of her skull. Appropriately for a move named the Last Surprise, she'd never see it coming.

Alaina was still stunned and unaware that Adrian was on the move. She groaned and heard the footsteps coming all too late to do anything about it. She was smashed in the skull by Adrian's finisher and the amazon crumpled to the mat in a motionless, lifeless heap! She didn't move whatsoever and the vacant look on her face was that of a woman teetering on consciousness.
