Nadine Hawker vs Piper Sherwood(d) - No Excuses

The first to accomplish three of the five goals set forth for the match will be declared the winner: 1. Pinfall. 2. Submission. 3. Forcing the opponent to worship you. 4. Rendering the opponent unable to respond to a 10 count. 5. Touch all 4 corners of the ring without interference from your opponent. No fall can be achieved twice.

After Piper insulted her and then attacked her in the gym, Nadine had been looking forward to this match. The blonde arrogant bitch clearly thought she was better than Nadine, and now was going to find out how untrue that was now that she had to face Nadine in a real match. No cheap shots and no chance for an early lead. Nadine shadow boxed preparing to get her, imagining Piper's face in front of her. Sarah was with her this time, ready to step in if she suspected any foul play from Piper again. All of this made Nadi excited to get her revenge. "This will be great! Make sure you're watching Sarah, that bitch won't know what hit her." Nadi said before she would leave before Sarah could say anything.

Spoiler:

Nadi's music hit and the cute fighter came out smiling for the crowd, most of whom weren't aware of the reason these two were fighting or that they had any history. Nadine reached out and started to shake hands with the fans while jumping down the ring. Sarah stayed back, watching the match from a tv so Piper would think Nadi was alone here, she didn't think she would need to step in now that Nadi knew who she was up against. Nadi confidently posed in front of the ring, showing off and waiting for Piper to make her entrance so she could finally kick her ass.

In all honesty it seemed rather fitting that Piper's first official match in AFW was one that would settle some old business for herself. Particularly because she felt the need to exert her dominance over a rando in the gym it gave birth to not only a big time debut match, but one with quite the stipulation to it. Not that Piper was daunted by that at all, in fact she just saw it as a chance to make an even bigger impact and properly dominate Nadine this time. "No little bitch friend of yours is gonna save your ass this time..." Piper said softly to herself after making sure her outfit was secure and heading to the entrance curtain to head out as her music started up!

Spoiler:

Coming out from the back Piper would be graced by boos and jeers from the fans in spite of this being her first time before them. Apparently in the lead up to this match to hype it as more than a debut, AFW had released clips of security footage showing what Piper had done to Nadine when they thought no one was watching, and to say it very quickly got the fans against her was an understatement. Not that it bothered Piper at all as she posed and acted smugly, simply making her way down in her black, gold and green attire before hopping onto the apron and slipping between the ropes into the ring, looking rather arrogantly towards her opponent as she leaned back against her corner in preparation.

Spoiler:

Nadine glared at Piper the moment she arrived, she looked too pleased with herself. She clearly thought this was an extension of what she did last time, and while Sarah wasn't going to interfere like last time she was still going to pay because now she had no sneak attack to rely on. Nadine was itching to jump at the chance to knock her down a peg or two and finally wipe that smirk off her face, the only thing stopping her was the bell halting any attack.

"Hope you don't have anyone special watching, they might look away when I have you down 2 to nothing." Nadi said, staying in her corner while she watched Piper for any kind of cheap tricks. She would sit on the second rope while holding them and settling in until the bell told her to move.

Piper continued to smirk confidently after entering the ring, especially after hearing the comment from her opponent. Knowing full well that she would be out for blood after what the blonde did to her Piper still didn't seem as if she cared too much. No all she was focused on was how she would be beating the bitch black and blue again.

"Wow such confident talk from somebody who had to be saved like a damsel in distress from me before." Piper shot back, not willing to let Nadi have the last word as she bounced on her heels, waiting for the action to begin, hands already up in anticipation to lock up and throw down with the girl across from her!

Nadine was still seething waiting for her revenge. "We'll see if your still as confident when you actually have to fight not attack from behind!" Nadine said, growling in her corner until the bell rang and gave Nadine permission to finally move. When she did she would rush in right at Piper and would try to lock up.

At the same time she would start pushing as hard as she could, trying to force Piper back into her corner as an early show of strength, and to try and make Piper see she was dealing with a whole other animal.

Piper chuckled evilly as she heard what her opponent said while raising her hands up in preparation for the bout ahead, her look of pure confidence never once wavering. "Hah please. I could be fighting you blindfolded and still kick you're ass loser." Piper shot back to Nadine as she approached the girl and locked hands with her in a lock up!

Only to immediately start getting pushed back. 'Shit.' Piper thought to herself feeling her shoes slide against the mat as she was gradually pushed backwards by her opponent. 'Well she's definitely stronger. No question about that... But I'm smarter.' Piper thought to herself before raising her leg up and stomping down on Nadine's foot! If successful in distracting her than Piper would turn, grabbing hold of Nadine's hair and yanking back hard to try and sending her topping head first into the mat!

The lock up quickly told a different story from the trash talking. Piper's confidence fell quickly the moment she started to get pushed back and Nadi noticed that she tried to pick up the pace only to find her momentum was still going backwards. It was nice to see that going her way and she would quickly try to bring Piper to her knees as a statement move. She stepped forward to continue only to feel her foot stepped on when she got too close.

"Oooww!" Nadine screamed stepping back but still keeping the hold even as she would hobble on a foot. "You can't do anything without a cheap trick!" Nadi said trying to push back against Piper unaware that with her foot back like that she was too lopsided that she could easily be pulled forward. Which was exactly what Piper tried to do by grabbing her ponytail and yanking it forward. "Wwooaah! Ugh!" Nadi screamed, slammed into the mat face first, her legs knocked against the mat and kicked it while her hands slapped them trying to get her face off the floor.

Piper was not one to be taken lightly in any way, but especially when pushing her into a corner either literally or metaphorically. Because either way, like a caged animal she would snap forth with a ferocity that couldn't be matched as shown when she pulled on Nadine's hair, sending her down face first into the mat! "It's called winning bitch." Piper said as she started to walk backwards to put some distance between herself and Nadine... Before running forward, raising her legs up as she approached, shooting her legs forward to dropkick Nadine right in the ribs!

Piper's cheap idea of winning was going to get her in trouble soon. Nadine wasn't going to tolerate being disrespected like this forever, she got up holding her face to try and get the pain to go down so she didn't stand up and give Piper an opening. She was unaware that Piper was already planning something from her next opening and would rush back at her after getting some space to go for a low dropkick to the side.

"Ouuggh!" Nadi screamed, feeling the feet hit her side and ribs and launching her to the right, falling on her back and rolling while the pain grew. Her hand was on her side in an instant while she screamed some more and rolled towards the ropes. By know she knew she needed space to recover and counter, laying down would turn this into another Piper beatdown and Nadine wasn't looking to become a two time recipient.

Piper had started this match off strong, taking her opponent down to the mat and leaving her open for a especially brutal dropkick from the blonde to leave the girl reeling. Kipping up to her feet in athletic fashion Piper would raise her arms up proudly as she did a slow circle, basking in the boos of the fans while deliberately mocking Nadine. Made even more clear as the blonde focused back on Nadine, bending forward and holding her hand up to her head while forming her fingers into a L shape!
