Nikolette Tessla Vs. Taylor Parker: #1 Contender Match

"Darnit!"

Nikolette growled as she shoved Taylor but didn't fling her off the apron. She knew that Taylor was stubborn, but sometimes it was annoying. If she didn't want to get out of the ring, Nikolette would just have to bring her back in. She reached out for two fistfulls of Taylor's hair. She had tried to keep it as clean as possible, but with all of Taylor's tugging, she hardly batted an eye at this point. She then tried to forcefully heave Taylor over the ropes and back into the ring in a rather unceremonious fashion.

"Ah!"

Taylor cried out once in pain from the tugging on her pigtails, her hands grasping at Nikolette's as she quickly stood upright again, and then she went head over heels over the top rope and landed on her back with a painful smack.

"Aaah! Ffffffff-" She jackknifed up off the mat, arching her back and pressing her hand against it, and began to roll to the side to work on getting back up.

Nikolette huffed as she dropped Taylor onto the mat. That felt pretty good, but the blonde was already beginning to rise. She admired Taylor's resilience, but wrestling against it was definitely a pain in the butt!

Nikolette swung around to Taylor's blindside and reached for her waist, looking to heave her up and over in a powerful classic German suplex!

Taylor got up with Nikolette's arms wrapped rightly around her waist. Her breath came in heavy, controlled huffs. She pushed down at her hands and bent her knees to keep her weight low, but Nik lifted her off the mat all the same.

She wrapped her legs around Nikolette's waist, keeping her weight too far in front of the tough brunette for her to be able to finish the suplex, and then as gravity began to take her back she tucked her body down and grabbed Nik's ankles. She rolled forward, putting Nikolette on her back and pulling on her legs to fold them over her like a matchbook.

She saw the ever-vigilant referee out of the corner of her eye, and heard the count. "ONE!"

"TWO!"

Nikolette's world went dizzy before she even knew what happened. Bewildered, she crashed hard into the mats with Taylor pushing down on top of her. She barely even heard the one count as she stared almost glassy eyed up at the blinding arena lights. The second count snapped her out of her daze and just before the third count hit, Nikolette's arm somehow shot into the air before flopping back down against the mat. She panted heavily.

The referee stood up and flashed two fingers at the timekeeper while the crowd roared.

Taylor huffed and dropped Nikolette's legs, letting them flop back on the mat on either side of her. She drew a few heavy breaths before crawling on top of Nikolette, pushing her head to the side with her palm and just laying her body flat on top of the bigger brunette.

She let herself relax and melt into her opponent, taking a much needed breather while the referee restarted the count.

"ONE!"

Nikolette growled as Taylor palmed her face but she couldn't deny the break was something she could use too. She let the count hit again.

"TWO!"

At two, Nikolette lifted both her legs up and kicked out as hard as she could, rolling with Taylor and reaching for her leg to hook her up into a pin of her own.

"ONE!"

Taylor didn't put up too much of a fight when she was rolled over onto her back, with Nikolette cowgirled up on top. She caught her eye for a split second while the count of two hit, and then bucked her hips hard enough to toss Nikolette off of her, breaking the pin in the process.

She rolled over to her hands and knees and threw herself into Nikolette before she could get up, bowling her over and landing on top.

"Hey..." She said. She looked ragged, drenched in sweat, breathing heavily with her mouth open. She hesitated only for a second, and didn't say anything else.

She stepped over so that she had her knee on Nikoette's chest, and her other leg between Nikolette's legs, so that she was looking down at her midsection. She drew her fist back and hammered down on Nikolette's belly.

Nikolette just panted, her chest constricting against Taylor's weight as the blonde crawled on top of her. She didn't realize that a pin exchange could be tiring. She looked Taylor in the eye and pulled up her hand, only to be punched hard before she could respond. "H-GAAAAhhhggh!"

Nikolette's eyes widened and her sense of survival kicked back in. She threw her hand up into Taylor's chin to try and harass the punk while she sucked in a breath and winced from the searing pain in her stomach.

Taylor craned her neck back when Nikolette shoved at her, and she compensated by changing her position. She straddled the girl, facing toward her legs, and sat down between her upper chest and her face. She pressed down on Nik's ribs to keep her in place, and then raised both hands up over her head and clubbed down on her belly with a double ax-handle.

"Rgh!"
