BACKLASH!

14th June 2020

Tonight was the night where I would be putting everything on the line, and I had no intention of losing it all. I was ready. This was my time to prove to Kairi that I would be the one to put this feud behind us and I would be the one walking out as champion, not her. I was more than prepared for what was to come and I knew that it wasn't going to be easy, but she was stupid if she didn't expect me to give this my all. I had just finished getting ready, and I was now sitting in gorilla, with Demi, and Liv, who also had a match tonight and while they were chatting away a was scheming to ensure my victory.

"Hey, you okay?" my thoughts were broken by the sound of my Girlfriends voice beside me. "hmm? Yeah I'm fine, just thinking" "Look, she doesn't stand a chance against you" she said reassuringly, Liv agreeing with her. I smiled at them in response and looked down at my title. "You really think so?" "Of course girl!!!" Liv shouted jumping down next to me and hugging me "Yeah! You've beaten her how many times before? What's once more?" I nodded and hugged them both "Yeah, thanks guys, I needed tha-" "Phoenix. you're on!" "Good luck!" They both said, I left them and headed toward the wings. I watched Kairi perform her entrance before mine and then my music cued.  I walked out with my head held high and my title secured around my waist, exactly where it should be. 

I climbed into the ring and struck  a pose on the ropes before joining my opponent in the centre of the ring. I took my title from around my waist and placed it on my shoulder ready for announcements. "The following contest, scheduled for one fall! Is for The RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONHIP!!! Introducing first, the challenger, from The Yamaguchi Prefecture, KAIRI SANE!!! And her opponent, From Ennis Ireland, She is The RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPION, PHOENIXXX!!!" I spun around and held my title in the air before handing it off to the ref. We took our starting positions and when the bell rang, Kairi went for a collar-elbow hold but I had other ideas; immediately springing into a dropkick to catch her off guard, and it worked. I now had the upper hand and it was everything I needed at this moment. I hadn't realised, until this moment, that I had a bitter fire burning inside me for so long, a fire that made me realise that I despised Kairi in ring for so long, since the moment I gave my NXT title to her, I resented her, I resented her even more now for thinking she had a chance to take another one of my titles. This fire had built up so much that it was quite literally bursting out of me and now I was unleashing it on her. Dropkick, Hurricanrana, DDT, Pin... kick-out. How. Did. She. Kick. Out. I was frustrated already, but this match had only just begun and I couldn't show it. 

I picked her back up and attempted to suplex her but she grounded herself upon execution and reversed it into a neck breaker. Shit. She jumped into action and her offence was insane, she was so fast I struggled to catch up. But when I did, I hit hard. She crashed to the canvas after my boot connected with her jaw, she had attempted a springboard back breaker but I caught up to it and countered. This was my time, I didn't care about hurting her anymore, I wanted this win. I craved it. I listened to the roar of the crowd and Picked her ankle up. I waited for a moment just to see the fear flash through her eyes as I pointed at the steel steps. Without hesitation, I dragged her over and trapped her at the knee in the steel steps. With one final smile I kicked at her leg in the steps until it broke free, but. The damage was done. I could see now that I was winning this with flying colours, there was no doubt about it. I watched her squirm around in pain on the inside of the ring while I stood on the apron; enjoying this sight. The ref made sure she was still able to compete and after she screamed at him to continue the match, he began my ten count for being outside the ring but I quickly broke that count by climbing the ring post. 

I waited for her to get back up, and it took her a while, she was hurt, and this was over. I performed my finisher; firebird and pinned her. The crowd the ref, and the commentators all counted "1! 2! 3!" I sighed a huge sigh of relief and Dropped to the canvas to take a second to breathe. "HERE IS YOUR WINNER. AND STILL, THE RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPION, PHOENIXX!" I rose and claimed my title, holding it in the air and basking in the glory of victory. The anger, the fire, it was gone, and I looked at her and saw the damage I had caused, this rivalry was over, she knew it, I knew it, and she was stupid if she wanted to come back for my title again. I helped her to her feet, and shook her hand, showing her that I did, in fact, have respect for her, but she came for me, and I shut her down. I was exhausted now though, so after some celebration, I headed backstage and collapsed next to Demi, My chest rising and falling at a deep, uncontrolled pace. My heart was pounding and it was obvious, so Demi took control. She lifted m up, took me to my locker room and she helped me get changed. "Hey, look, I know this is hard for you to keep doing, you look exhausted, but if it means anything to you, I'm proud of you" she said, gently rubbing her hand across my cheek. I stared into her loving eyes, she wanted a response, but I was too tired to speak , so I kissed her. She melted into the embrace before pulling away momentarily "guess it does mean something" she said with a chuckle "Oh shut up" I laughed, pulling her back into my lips...
