Halloween Costume Title Match! "Amazon" Alaina Sanders (C) vs Panther Risako

Match Type: Falls Count Anywhere
Friction Championship Title Match

Alaina was checking herself over as she had dyed her hair black in order to completely pull off her desired Wonderwoman look. The one piece swimsuit, wristbands, boots and kneepads all were made to make her look like the amazon Wonderwoman and she was satisfied with how she looked in her attire.

Alaina had run in to Panther Risako in the gym and while she was confident she could take on Risako between the topes with the title on the line Risako did make some valid points when they met. The former Queen of Wrestle Angels had a solo win over Alaina, and Alainas win against Risako came in a rag match where the amazon leaned heavily on the surprise performance of Peggy McIntyre.

Tonight Alaina was going to put her title on the line, defending it as a champion should. She was going to silence any doubters in the crowd and stand tall determined to keep the Friction Championship around her waist after defending it a third time tonight. Alaina stretched and did her best to stay loose in the locker room, watching the TV in there as she looked forward to seeing how Panther Risako would look during her entrance to the ring.

In another locker room, the Quen of Queens, Panther Risako, was prepping a little costume of her own.

In all honesty, she was excited by the prospect of taking on Alaina Sanders again: both of her battles against the amazon had been some of Risako's toughest in here career here in AFW, and while Risako would never openly admit to it, Alaina reminded her a lot of some of her better opponents from Wrestle Angels-- Bomber Kishima, GARM, and Chris Morgan, she had the power to match a lot of those ladies. So it was that Risako couldn't help but accept Alaina's challenge: the two of them were tied at a match apiece, and with the title on the line, Risako was eager to settle the score.

Of course, since Alaina had proposed a costume match, she had needed a unique outfit of her own to wear. After she had heard that Alaina would be going into the ring dressed as Wonder Woman, Risako knew there was only one outfit that she could wear herself.

She had had her hair dyed orange, and had applied facepaint to herself to mimic the fur of a cheetah. After slipping on a simple purple top that left her midriff exposed, matching tight gym shorts, and matching boots and pads, she had completed the look of Wonder Woman's arch-nemesis, Cheetah.

Hearing her music blare on, Risako smiled and walked out the ring, striding down the ramp. The fans erupted into cheers, and she responded by playing up her character, mock growling at them, making clawing motions at them as she walked down the ring. Heading to the ring, she teasingly and seductively slid between the ropes before climbing into the ring, waiting for the amazon to arrive....

Riskako did not have to wait long for the amazon to arrive. Her music began to play and the crowd roared when the Wonderwoman dressed champion came out with the title around her waist. Alaina flexed her arms and struck a couple poses showing off her legs as well before heading down the ramp. She high fived fans on both side of the ramp before making her way around the ring.

Alaina was all smiles as she climbed up onto the apron and through the ropes before doing a lap around the ring holding her arms out and striking one last pose, smiling at the challenger the whole time. Alaina handed her title to the referee who held it high and the amazon was ready to defend it once more. Alaina stepped up to the middle of the ring extending her hand to Risako. "I know you are ready for business and will give me a good run but tonight I am going to show the whole world I am every bit the wrestler that the best Wrestle Angels." Alaina said as she nodded to Risako.

Risako smiled as her face came level with Alaina's. "Oh, you don't need to prove how good you are champ. I already know just how good you are," she replied. "The only question is, whether or not you're good enough to even the score. Let's give them a good show tonight."

And witht hat, Risako backed away to her corner and waited for the bell to ring.

Alaina smiled as Risako spoke and she moved back to her own corner tugging on the rope. The bell soon rang with the amazing coming out, circling around Risako before moving in to grapple with her! Alaina knew she was stronger and wanted to maneuver herself in position to lock in a side headlock before hip tossing Risako to the mat to start things off!

The moment the bell rang, Alaina came surging forward, arms raised for a grapple. Smiling, Risako was all too happy to oblige, and in an instant, Wonder Woman and the Cheetah were engaged in a fierce grapple, pushing and twisting against each other in the center of the ring as the crowd roared.

Inevitably, though, Alaina's superior strength won out...as Risako knew it would. Clenching her teeth as she was trapped in a side headlock, before she was suddenly thrown forward in a hip toss. Risako's instincts kicked in, though, and she rolled, sliding onto her back before kicking her legs up to latch them around Alaina's head, hoping to catch her by surprise and flip her down to the mat in turn!

"Oomph!" Alaina groaned as she was kicked. However things got much worse as Risako wrapped her legs around Alaina's head sending her crashing hard to the mat!

The amazon would be in big trouble if this trend continued, recalling her poor performance in their first matchup. Alaina tried to grab hold of Risako's legs and pry them off her head, not wanting to be trapped in a headscissor after crashing down to the mat. Alaina hoped to create enough space to pop her head free to allow her to roll to the side to scramble back up to her feet.

Risako was moving with practiced expertise now as she escaped from Alaina's headlock, before switching around their situations, kicking her legs up in an effort to ensnare Alaina's head. It worked...almost: Alaina was no idiot, and had been on the receiving end of this before. Reacting with surprising speed, Alaina caught Risako's legs, and began to slowly but surely pry them apart.

Not wanting to have her legs trapped, Risako would try to kick free. If she managed that, then she would kip back and roll away, slowly getting back up to her feet again as she put some distance between herself and the amazon...

Alaina managed to free herself and knew that Risako would be on the move. The champion had to be fast as well if she wanted to keep her title. Alaina scrambled to get back up to her feet and readied herself. Alaina had to cover the distance between them fast so she broke into a run and jumped up into the air, leaping as she extended her legs to attempt to hit Risako with a dropkick!

Rolling away from Alaina, Risako sprang back to her feet, just in time to see that the Amazon was quickly closing the distance between them, running forward for a drop kick. Reacting with cat-like agility, she would try to sidestep the drop kick, before spinning around to thwack her elbow into the side of Alaina's head to stun her. If she wasn't fast enough, however, then she would be nailed by the full force of Alaina's boot and doubled over by the impact....
