Szalinski looks down the ramp and just shakes his head, looking back at Graham and saying something intelligible, followed by a fist tap prior to exiting the ring, and just in time. Hesitantly, a bell rings as Ariel slides in underneath the bottom rope, leaping to her feet. Neither participant in the impromptu match waits for it to begin fighting. Graham comes in with a wide hook, but Ariel catches his arm and throws it aside. She tries a high kick to the head, but this is slapped away by Clauson. Within seconds, both Ariel and Graham are exchanging wild blows, with both either catching or blocking away every single attempt to strike the other.
Graham attempts to grab Ariel’s arm after a spinning back fist and go for an arm ringer, but Ariel cartwheels free and attempts one of her own. Graham reverses this with a forward roll and kip-up, going for another one followed by a jumping savate kick. Ariel ducks this, waiting for Graham to land on his feet before clutching himf rom behind in a waistlock. She attempts a German, but Graham flips out backwards, kneeling down for a pin…until he is rolled up himself by Ariel, breaking free at two. Graham then attempts an inside cradle, which also gets two. Finally, he meets a rising Ariel with a jumping hurricanrana, rolling her up into yet another pin, this one also getting a mere two count.
When Ariel gets to her feet, Graham runs to the ropes. He returns to find a leaping hurricanrana waiting for him. Ariel does not attempt a pin, but opts instead to roll through and pull Graham to his feet. Upon doing so, she reaches out for his trademark beard, pulling it long enough to aim a well-timed and impactful European uppercut. This only enfuriates Graham, who belts Ariel with a stiff right elbow. Graham then pulls Ariel’s head down into a front face lock, lifting her up high into the air for a fisherman’s suplex, slapping down on the landing to drive Ariel’s head into the canvas.
Graham goes for a pinfall, but she kicks out once again at two. The crowd is going wild, cheering wildly from the heavy and fast action so far. Graham shakes his head, smiling somewhat as he hoists Ariel up. He pushes her into the corner, only to send her packing to the opposite with an Irish Whip. She hits hard, holding her back. Graham begins running at her, which she quickly dives to the side. Graham sees this, hopping up quickly onto the second turnbuckle. Before he can react, Ariel catches him in the back with a hard kick. Graham winces, holding onto the ropes to keep from falling back. Ariel takes the opportunity to hop up onto the second rope, somehow grabbing onto Graham and pulling him down with a springboard Russian Leg Sweep of sort to the mat!
As both Ariel and Graham crash to the mat, Madman suddenly looks towards the ramp with a questioning look on his face. Brydon is too busy watching the action, and Madman finds a way to slip away, only beknownst to the fans that catch it. Ariel attempts to get a pinfall off the manuever, but finds herself only catching a two count. She pounds the mat in frustration before picking Graham up and dragging him to the center of the ring. She levels him to the ground with a traditional leg sweep, then following up by running to the ropes. To her surprise as she runs back, Graham has kipped up and rolled forward into her with a Koppo Kick square to the forehead! Ariel hits the mat hard, bouncing up only slightly from the impact… She looks as if she was almost knocked out!
Graham stands up, dragging Ariel to the corner nearby and setting her up for a high-flying maneuver. Graham hops up onto the turnbuckle, stands up and makes a motion of firing two pistols simultaneously before leaping, nailing Ariel with a Pheonix Splash! A Clockwork Orange has been executed, and a three count is secured by Graham against his tag team partner’s wife!
Your winner, Graham Clauson!
