Friday Night SmackDown

Detroit, Michigan

˚｡⋆⭒ ˚｡⋆⭒

I tilt my head to the side, a dark chuckle settling in my chest as the rumble from the audience falls deaf upon my ears, nothing but a buzzing noise in the background. Shotzi blinks for a moment at my reaction before moving to throw an elbow in my face, not missing a beat, when I slam mine into her nose, blowing her back a few steps.

She drives forward, grabbing my arm and twisting, but I swing my leg back and snap my boot against her ear. She hunches over and I take a step back to catch her as she leans up-

"Super kick! Straight to the chin, Cole!" Pat whistles. "She does give the Uso's, Lita, Stratus, and even the Heartbreak Kid himself... a run for their money."

If I was paying any more than a lick of attention to their commentary, I'd say not to compare me to Stratus of all people, but Lita I take highly. Never been a fan of fake cowgirl barbie, not even as a child.

Shotzi flails back into the belt buckle and I run forward, using my momentum to carry to the top rope, I hit a tornado DDT. While she rolls in the ring, I jump to my feet, soaking up the adrenaline like I crave it, throwing my hands up to the crowd. Rather they cheer or boo, I can't even make it out over the roaring rush in my ears. The sound of speeding through a tunnel to quick and not wanting to make it to the end.

The bitch can take some hits cause once I turn around she's stepping up, slamming me in the head with a boot with a step up enziguri.

Mmm, deserved, deserved.

I roll my tongue in my mouth swallowing while I rock my jaw quickly. Shotzi tries running and throwing her body as my for some body slam-cannon ball situation but I step back to the ropes and let her fall, smacking down into the mat of the ring. I smirk and my knee strikes her face sending her flailing back again. An wicked plan quickly forms in my head as muscle memory takes over and I yank her up my both arms.

"Remember this, Ronda?" I call out to the camera, flashing an evil grin before pulling Shotzi into my knee as I slam it into her nose, over, and over, and over again, before finally letting her sweaty arms slip out of my grasp and she collapses back into the ring.

She screams out in pain, her nose topping off last week's damage I temporarily forgot about, oops.

"Good God, Michael!" Pat comments.

"Crimson Kae, has a, taken sadistic approach to this match, targeting the assault of an already injured nose from last Friday Night SmackDown." Michael Cole adds on. Oh, please, Michael, relax.

I roll my eyes, tossing my head back, the brief moment allowing Shotzi a pitiful attempt to push me back, creating a minuscule amount of distance between us.

I let out a short chuckle. "How cute." And I twist my hand in her electric green hair, raising her up slowly. "This is my division now, bitch." Her breath hits my face as she struggles to catch it. "Who even were you, again?" She rustles in my grip, trying to rip out of my grasp. She throws a couple forearms up to my face, which mostly catch the sides of my head as I turn side to side.

"Argh!" She yells in frustration, shoving my back into the ropes, her boot connecting with my temple, knocking the taste, and spit, right out of my mouth. She starts towards me again but I quickly throw my leg up, hitting her stomach. I exhale, trying to regroup my brain and Shotzi spins, throwing a forearm into my chest. Oh. Well, that wasn't much. She gets her lick back and charges her knee into my stomach, which only pisses me off further, so I rear back my elbow and fire it into her nose again, staggering her in her tracks, allowing me time to grab her by the back of her head and force her forward into the belt buckle and hurry to fold her up into a pin...

"One, two-" The ref counts but she kicks out. Expected, but it takes effort and energy to kick out, especially after a harsher blow. She scoots across the ring, making it to her feet first, and as I raise up she  hits her half-roundhouse kick, clipping my ear.

"Go back to where you came from, Crimson!" Shotzi screams.

Anddd, I'm done playing.

I lift my dark gaze up at her, locking eyes and holding it until I see the fear flash through. She swallows and I rear my head back, POP, ramming my head into her face. As her head falls forward, I lift her up by the chin, wipe my finger across her tacky bright red lips, and rub it across mine which are painted a couple shades darker red. I smack a kiss on her forehead, heave her body up for a gut-wrench slam and pound my knee into the target I left on her face, my lip print.

"Oh! Shotzi is done for, Cole!" Pat hollers. "Crimson's finisher known as the Crimson Cutter has been given the ole upgrade to Crimson Kiss and it looks like Shotzi isn't getting back up from that one!"

"Ah, well Pat, it appears Crimson isn't quite ready for her to as we can see her not going for the pin." Michael comments and I smirk at his words, swinging Shotzi's legs well over her head forcing her to flip over, I decide to finish her off, taking half a step back before nailing her in the face with my knee oneee last time for good measure, to which Shotzi collapses back harshly and I push both her legs up, taking a page out of Rhea's book... as I pinned Alexa the other night, buttt with my own little twist on it, I pin Shotzi as Rhea does her opponents, but I bring my hands up to rest underneath my chin and when the ref hits three I swipe my finger across my bottom lip and blow a kiss to the crowd before roughly tossing her legs to the side.

"Anddd your winner, Crimson Kae!"

"Lift my arm!" I demand from the referee and as my wrist is lifted and I purse my lips in victory. "This is my division now!" I scream. "And I'm not going anywhere." I stress that last part, looking right into the camera. I let out a chuckle, ripping my arm away I drop down to roll out of the ring as the ref bends down to check on Shotzi, who's still down in the ring. I grab a camera on my way up the ramp, my new favorite trick if it isn't obvious. "Do I have your attention now?" I pull back with the most satisfied smile and skip my rest of way up to the stage, until I've made it to the back, my body radiating with heat and energy wafting off my body....

A door swings open with camera crew ready to pounce on whoever is stepping out. I continue on, already thinking about a steaming shower to melt my sweaty skin off when I get back to my hotel room, when suddenly—

"I'm impressed." A deep voice calls out from behind me, spiking the hairs on my neck.

I spin around slowly on my heel revealing Roman Reigns... this family is insufferable, standing in front me with the black championship belt adorning his waist and the blue one laying across his shoulder wearing a 'Bloodline' t-shirt. I know Liv is supposed to cut a promo after my match, and Roman and Drew are to close the show due to Hunter running through the schedule for tonight, but after my match none of that irrelevance crossed my mind.

"Mmm." I hum. "Tell someone who is." I pop off. Roman's face hardens as I inhale and simply turn away, continuing down the hall.

Impressing Roman Reigns as if he's a God around here is not on my to-do list for the night.

Fortunately winning my first SmackDown match and earning one at Clash of the Castle is.

And I managed to accomplish both in a matter of minutes.
