Chapter 23: Iron-Man Match
A/N: Thanks ellishamae_25 for the idea!
Vivian's P.O.V.
Tonight, I was going to defend my title against the in-ring debuting Ronda Rousey. She had debuted a number of weeks ago and I decided to challenge her. She accepted and Mick Foley decided to make it a No Disqualification, 30-minute Iron Man match. I was excited, but nervous, since I've never been in this situation. Even Ronda gave me some encouragement.
Because of this, I spent most of my time in the gym with Mercedes, Jon, Joe, Colby, Ashley Pam, Trinity, Jonathan, CJ, and Rusev. They were helping me prepare for this match, since this is the longest match in my entire career. Knowing my sister and her best friend have been in this type of match before, they were the ones helping me out the most besides my boys.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I had on a Hounds Of Justice shirt, and my usual ring gear, but a black and blue color. I had our logo patched onto my wrestling shorts. My hair was curled and my makeup was done. My title was around my waist. I took a deep breath as I heard the bell ring and JoJo speak.
"The following contest is a 30-Minute Iron Man match scheduled for one-fall and it is for the Raw Women's Championship! Whichever competitor that has the most points once the 30 minutes are up will be the new Raw Women's Champion!" The crowd cheered and it made my heart beat extremely fast.
I don't give damn about my bad reputation
You're living in the past, it's a new generation
I saw Ronda walked out in her Roddy Piper gear. She had a huge smile on her face. "Introducing first, the challenger! From Venice, California, Rowdy Ronda Rousey!" JoJo announced. The former UFC fighter got on the apron and got in the ring. She took off her jacket and stood in a corner, waiting for me as her music stopped.
It was then Renee came up to me with a microphone. "Excuse me, Tanya? Do you mind answering a few questions?" she asked. I shook my head as a response. "Tanya, you're about to go one-on-one with Ronda Rousey for your Raw Women's Championship. What are your thoughts?" she asked before holding the microphone to me.
"Honestly, Renee, I'm ready. Ronda is one hell of a competitor, and I respect that. However, I just don't think it's fair that she gets a championship opportunity after having not that many matches. But, I don't care about that. All I care about is retaining my title and defending it at whatever chance I get. Let's just say, Ronda may be the 'Baddest Woman On The Planet', but I'm a Hound of Justice. I'm the girlfriend of a lunatic. I can be myself, but when someone challenges me, let's just say, they will get the teeth and feel some lunatic rage." I explained.
Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta. S.H.I.E.L.D.
The fans jumped out of their seats screaming and cheering. I walked out and appeared at the top of the stairs holding my title on my shoulder. "And her opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, representing The Shield, she is the Raw Women's Champion, Tanya Banks!" JoJo announced. I walked down the stairs, slapping a couple of the fans' hands on the way down.
I got to the barricade and jumped over. I kept my eye on Ronda as I jumped onto the apron. I raised my title with a smile on my face. I got inside the ring and handed my title to the referee. He raised it over his head as I took off my jacket and accessories. The bell rang before Ronda and I had a stare-off. "May the best woman win." I told her. "I plan to, Sweetie." she said.
We locked up with each other and she tossed me judo style. I looked at her with a blank expression. I ran and began landing punches on her. I ran to the ropes and performed a Tilt-A-Whirl Headscissors Takedown. I went for a Clothesline, but she grabbed me and bodyslammed me. I yelped as I felt a pain in my wrist.
I moved it and felt a searing pain. I shook my head and got up. I was met with a brutal punch to my face. She then grabbed me and sent me into the turnbuckle. I held my arm in pain as she dominated me. She grabbed my hair and hit me with her finisher. She went to pin me. "One! Two!" I kicked out.
She got me up, but I broke from her grip and began punching her over and over. I screamed as I ran and hit her with a Spear. I grabbed her legs and intertwined them with mine. I performed the Bank Lock. She screamed, which made me apply more pressure before she tapped out.
"Tanya Banks has scored one point via submission." JoJo announced.
*29 Minutes Later*
Pain. That's all I felt throughput my body. My knee was throbbing and hurt every time I moved it. My head was hurting and throbbing. I had some blood coming from the side of my head. The crowd was behind me, supporting me to try and win the match. I only had five minutes left to win.
The score was;
Ronda: 3
Tanya: 3
Ronda grabbed me and went to set me up for the Armbar. She grabbed my arm and performed the submission move on me. I screamed and thrashed, trying my best to not tap. Ronda kept applying more pressure, but I kept fighting through the pain. "Tap out!" she yelled. "Never! Believe In The Shield!" I yelled back.
At this point, there were 60 seconds left.
Had a dream I
Hadn't made it
But there's nothing dragging down me, yeah
'Cause a girl gonna push 'em all out the way
Ronda let me go as she looked a the ramp. My sister ran down the ramp, making the crowd go insane. Mercedes got on the apron and yelled at her, making Ronda go for her. My sister jumped off as a result. I looked and saw there were seven seconds left. Immediately, I fought through the pain and recovered.
I ran and rolled Ronda up. "One! Two! Three!" I smiled as I got up, making Ronda look at me in shock as the timer went off. The crowd jumped out of their seats as my sister clapped. My theme played in the process. "Here is your winner and still the Raw Women's Champion, Tanya Banks!" JoJo announced.
The referee handed me my title and I held my arm in pain as Ronda came over. She and I looked at each other before she came over and grabbed my good arm, helping me stand up. She raised my arm, making the crowd cheer. I smiled at her before we shook hands. I slid out of the ring, holding my throbbing head.
Mercedes came over and hugged me. I winced in pain, but hugged her back. We walked up the ramp and got backstage.
Jon's P.O.V.
I waited behind the curtain with the guys, Ashley, Pam, Rebecca, CJ, Finn, Big Cass, and Rusev. We all saw the match and the girls actually cried when they saw Vivian in pain. Ronda did a great job, but my girl managed to pull through. I was happy she retained the title.
It was then the curtains moved as she and Mercedes walked in. All of us began clapping as she gave us a painful smile. I went to her and hugged her. I cupped her face in my hands and kissed her gently. She responded, making everybody else go 'Awww' and snap pictures. Especially the girls.
"Congratulations, Darling." I told her. "Thanks, Baby." she told me in a raspy voice. I kissed her head before she went and hugged everybody else. Everybody congratulated her and he accepted each one. I smiled as she walked over to me.
Suddenly, her eyes closed and she ended up falling. "Vivian!" everybody else yelled as I caught her in my arms. "Vivian?! Baby, wake up! What's wrong?!" I asked. She didn't respond. "Go get help!" Joe said as he, Mercedes and Colby rushed over. Ashley and CJ went to go find help.
I held her in my arms as I waited for help to arrive. "Damn. What the hell did Ronda do?" I asked. "I don't know. Let's just hope she's okay." Colby said as he held Vivian's hand. Mercedes was trying not to cry as Joe comforted her.
EMTs and Paramedics came in with some medical equipment and a stretcher. They examined her and put he on the stretcher. "It seems like she's severely injured. She needs to go to the ER right now." one of them said. "You go with her, Jon. The Shield, Four Horsewomen, take our limo to the hospital. Your stuff will be taken to the hotel." Stephanie said as she walked in.
They began wheeling her to the back while I followed, holding her hand. We got to the ambulance and they put her in. I followed them in and sat down next to her as the doors closed. I kissed her hand as the ambulance drove off. I stroked her head before kissing it.
"You'll be alright, Baby. I promise. I love you."
