Mickie had the first match. It was a dark match against a local competitor put on just for the benefit of the local crowd and not aired. The WWF saw Mickie as a valuable asset, both in training new wrestlers and bringing eyes to the product as a popular and skilled veteran. However they also could be petty, and Mickie had just recently been the Women's TV champ in the NWA, and had put on a very good match that last week on NWA television to get back in contention for the belt. The WWF didn't want to give her too much of a spotlight considering those events.
Alexa and Nia were backstage cheering her on. Nia cooly, as someone interested in the alliance with her, Alexa more passionately, as someone who had always looked up to her.
Alexa cheered loudly as Mickie scored the easy pinfall in 2:53.
"So you did get her to agree to help us out right?" Nia asked.
"Yeah. Of course. She really wants to teach us. She thinks we have a lot more in us and we can work our way back up the card." Alexa said.
"Well I'm glad she can see the obvious." Nia said. It wasn't that she was jealous. Not quite. Not in the sense that she didn't want Alexa to care for or admire or even love Mickie James. But she just wished she knew that Alexa loved her the same way.
After a couple of pre-show matches, the main card opened up with the Boss and Hug Connection vs the IIconics. Bayley and Sasha decided to stick with their usual strategy. Bayley would start off. Bayley was the stronger of the two and was the superior striker, so conventional wisdom said that she should come in if Sasha got in trouble. However, they found it was very effective to start out with more brute force, then use Sasha's technical know-how to grind down the already weakened opposition.
Bayley was standing across from Billie Kay. She wished she didn't have to face this team, not that night at least. The IIconics were skilled wrestlers who were beautiful and devious. They had been the ones to beat them for the titles in the first place. After Bayley and Sasha had worked so hard to establish those belts, even in NXT. It would be fitting to mint their newfound relationship with a win over the team that had sent them floundering for months.
But Bayley could already tell by the look on Billie's face she wasn't going to make it easy on her. Bayley and Billie ran at each other, entering into a strike competition. To Billie's credit, she was giving about as good as she got. It could have gone either way and Bayley was actually worried she might lose fair and square, then Billie raked Bayley's eyes away from the view of the ref, and hit Bayley with a powerful big boot, knocking her on her ass.
With Bayley on the ground, Billie was free to play around with her to her heart's content. Stomping her several times in the stomach, and even stomping Bayley's hand. then she began to ground her down with Wrestling holds. Bayley again rejoiced at the touch of another woman, despite the pain it caused her. The lesbian pollen only demanded the touch of another woman, the more intimate the better, and did not overly distinguish between a wrestling hold and a tender embrace.
Still, Bayley knew she was in a tough spot here. She had to get it moving, especially before Billie could drag her into her corner for both of the IIconics to toy with.
She managed to work her way out and get Billie off of her with a kick and a couple of elbow strikes. Then Bayley got up and worked her way back into it. A couple of right hooks, then a hard-hitting clothesline, then running axhandles. Billie's momentum had completely stopped and things had gone all to Bayley. Bayley was feeling confident. She could handle her.
However, Billie managed to crawl over and get the tag to Peyton, who came in to blast Bayley with a big boot and a couple of superkicks. Bayley fell back into her corner. Sitting down. Sasha ran along the ring to get to her girlfriend.
"Tag me in Bayley. I can deal with Peyton." Sasha said. Bayley shook her head to clear out the cobwebs. That was right. It was Peyton who had pinned Bayley. She hadn't ever pinned Sasha. Bayley tagged her in and Sasha jumped onto the top rope and hit Peyton with a crossbody as a way of entering the match.
The match becomes more of a technical wrestling showcase at this point, with things occasionally flaring up into strike battles. Peyton and Sasha were able to go hold for hold with each other. Sasha hated to admit it, but Peyton showed promise. She lacked some polish and experience, but Sasha really thought she could be as good as her or Charlotte or Becky at technical wrestling. She certainly had a good deal of know-how and the mind for it, as that was mostly what was keeping Sasha from overpowering her and locking her into a hold she couldn't escape from. Sasha also loved getting the opportunity to be so close to Peyton and touch her. Peyton was so beautiful, she just couldn't help but imagine kissing her. That distraction might have also cost Sasha some opportunities.
It was this that comprised the bulk of the match at the end. A contest between Sasha and Peyton for who was the most skilled wrestler. Eventually, though, Peyton was forced to retreat to her corner and tag in Billie, who came off the top rope with a surprising flying clothesline that changed much of the course of the match. Billie was able to get a two count on Sasha. Then she rolled Sasha into the corner and the IIconics proceded to brutalize Sasha, grinding her down with tag team offense in the corner.
However, Sasha was eventually able to escape crawling as fast as she could to her corner. Expecting Bayley with her hand outstretched so she could make the tag. But she wasn't.
Instead, Alexa was on the ring apron kissing Bayley hard, her hand groping Bayley's bottom and...Bayley wasn't resisting. Sasha was doomed. Billie picked her up and held her for Peyton to hit with a hard knee to the face. Peyton covered. One. Two. Three.
The IIconics had now leapfrogged them in positioning for the tag belts. Likely they'd be fighting whoever won the match between Nia Jax and Alexa and Absolution. Peyton and Billie celebrated then left the ring. Sasha got to her knees. She was hurting, both physically and mentally. What the fuck had just happened.
"Sorry Sasha but your partner was just too cute to resist." Alexa said. She was in the ring now, gloating above Sasha. Sasha was too devastated to respond.
"And truth be told, I'd really rather face the IIconics then you two again. Seeing as we already beat you." Alexa said. She was giving this speech to the whole crowd with a mic in hand, boos raining down on her. Sasha just couldn't care. She felt numb and tired, and really fucking horny. Right now she didn't want to fight. She just wanted to give into her desires.
Sasha got up and began to leave the ring.
"Sasha, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean. She just kissed me and I-" Bayley said. She sounded genuinely sorry. Nearly on the verge of tears. Sasha still felt numb.
"It's alright. Let's get dinner." Sasha said.
"Y-Yeah. Yeah." Bayley said, sounding a bit relieved. She supported her as they left to go backstage.
The next match was Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss vs Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville of Absolution. Nia came out and joined Alexa, then Mandy Rose and Sonya came down to Mandy's theme music. Paige was notably not there.
Alexa was in the ring with Mandy Rose. Prior to her infection by the lesbian pollen, Alexa thought Mandy was overrated, but now she got the hype. She was beautiful with an absolutely perfect body. Grappling with her would be a pleasure, she thought with a smile.
The two of them got into a collar and elbow tie-up. Mandy had the strength advantage, but Alexa was quite used to having to fight against those who were stronger, and she was able to get the right amount of leverage to avoid being just bowled over. However, it wasn't like she could hold on forever so she kneed Mandy hard in the stomach. She held her arms up like she had won some sort of far test of strength, then she grabbed Mandy and hit her with a DDT. Alexa made the cover. Mandy kicked out at 1.
Alexa got up and began kicking Mandy right in the abdomen. Again and again. Finally knocking Mandy prone again. Then Alexa hit her with Insult to Injury. Another cover attempt. Mandy kicked out at 1 and a half. Mandy grabbed Alexa's leg and smashed her to the canvas, pulling it up into a single leg crab. Alexa scrambled to the ropes and just barely managed to make it to them, breaking the hold.
Mandy was on her instantly punching Alexa several times before the Ref got in the way to let Alexa recover. Alexa then ran at Mandy and hit her with a clothesline, but Mandy remained standing, grabbed Alexa and hit her with a german suplex. Mandy went for a cover. Alexa kicked out at one.
Alexa saw her chance and kissed Mandy. Mandy was utterly flabbergasted by this and was quickly rolled up. 1...2...2 1/2...2 3/4, Mandy just barely kicked out. Mandy glared at Alexa, who started to beg off. Mandy wasn't falling for it and began raining forearms and punches down on Alexa. Alexa barely made it to her corner falling back and just barely managing to tag Nia in.
Nia came roaring in with several hellacious clotheslines, knocking Mandy to the ground each time. Then a bodyslam. A running power slam. A powerbomb. A running senton. A leg drop. Nia made the pin. 1...2...2 and a half, Mandy kicks out. Nia hit her with a rain of elbow blows, furious at how Mandy had hurt Alexa, then began throwing her across the ring in a blind rage. Unfortunately, this gave Sonya a chance to tag herself in.
Nia took a breath and calmed down. The lesbian pollen creating a calming effect within her as her anger was replaced with arousal. Sonya got in Nia's face and Nia smiled.
"Heya sexy. You know I have nothing personal against you. I'm just trying to win a match and become champion." Nia said.
"You hurt my friend." Sonya said, and began hitting Nia with several forearms, followed by closed fists to the face, slowly backing Nia into the opposite corner.
"Sorry about that. But she hurt my friend. Can't really blame me." Nia said.
"Can't blame me either then." Sonya said.
"Ha. Good point. We should have dinner after the show." Nia said. Despite the pain she was in, she was still giving Sonya a smile. Lesbian pollen was one hell of a drug.
"Are you...a lesbian?" Sonya said. She was pretty sure that she had heard Nia dating other guys. So she probably should have asked if she was bi. Still, it was the first thing that came to her mind.
"Yep. Why do you think I've been hitting on you babe?" Nia said with a wink. Sonya blinked. That was a surprise. Still, Sonya was single and Nia was a great looking woman. So it wasn't like there was much of a reason to refuse.
"Ok. Sure." Sonya said, and shrugged. No pollen was necessary for this. But the pollen affected her anyway. Sonya would be a carrier and would also face an increase in libido.
"Good." Nia said and then punched Sonya in the face. Spinning Sonya around she began to elbow and wrench at Sonya's arm. Nia was trying to take down her principal tool of offense. Sonya worked free and elbowed Nia several times in the face before hitting her with a kick to the mid-section. Nia battled back though with fists to Sonya's face and midsection. Then Nia sent her flying into the corner, where Nia pummeled her with hip attacks.
"Ugh. You haven't even got me dinner yet." Sonya said, grunting through the pain.
"Oh don't worry, there's plenty more of me for dessert." Nia said walking away and giving herself a smack on the backside. She went for another hip attack but Sonya ducked out of the corner, leaped up and hit an Enziguri. Slamming Nia to the mat. Sonya went for a cover. Nia kicked out at one. Sonya went for an armbar. Nia was grunting in pain as her arm was wrenched hard. Nia was able to get her foot on the rope though forcing Sonya to break.
The match continued on like that. There were same tags in and out but mostly it was between Sonya's MMA strikes and holds versus Nia's pro wrestling strikes and powerhouse offense. Many two counts were achieved but neither woman would give up. Eventually, the match was declared a time limit draw.
"Good work out there. We didn't win the title but we've learned a lot about how to fight them." Alexa said, giving Nia a pat on her rather large rear end.
"I've got her number don't worry. We'll win next time." Nia said.
"What were you two talking about in the corner?" Alexa asked.
"Oh. Well I've got a date with her tonight." Nia said with a grin.
"Good going! Hope you two have fun." Alexa said. She was a little bit jealous but it was alright. She still had Mickie.
"Damn. Nia was more of a challenge then I expected." Sonya said.
"Yeah. That girl really is the strongest woman in the WWF, isn't she?" Mandy said.
"Gotta be." Sonya agreed.
"Want to crash at my place? We can go over the match again so we know what to do next time." Mandy said.
"Nah. It's alright. You can spend time with your boyfriend. I've got a date." Sonya said.
"Really? With who?" Mandy said. She hadn't heard of this.
"Nia." Sonya said.
"Nia Jax? The one you were just fighting?" Mandy said.
"Yeah." Sonya said, simple as that. Mandy blinked. She really should feel happy for her friend but...she just couldn't be. Was that really the kind of woman Sonya went after? A curvy woman with a lot of junk in her trunk? Not someone like say...Mandy?
Mandy shook her head. She was being ridiculous. Probably just feeling groggy after that beating she just took. And she was feeling warm. She just needed to get to bed.
