[Drako Damone] (C) vs Luca Leone

[Drako Damone]

After Luca kicks out, Drako sits up and lets out a huff, the smallest hint of frustration that he'd yet to put the challenger away. Again he brushes his hair out of his face and gets to his feet, then looks to pull Luca up and irish whip her to the corner  

[Mister Mirage]

The Lioness was in rough shape after that last suplex, but she was ready to preserver until the last breath. This was the last stepping stone until Wrestlemania, and the biggest opportunity of her life to pick up the win. She slowly tried to pick herself up, only for the champion to lift her back on her feet. Luca was thrown forward, but she held firm, and rushed in to duck under Drako's opposite arm to momentarily wrap him up in his own arm.

The Huntress would look to whip Drako out to attempt a new ripcord variant of the Azure Shot!

 

[Drako Damone]

it's clear we're getting to the tail end of the match, as just when Drako thought he had Luca heading to the corner, she stops herself and pops back at him. One arm ends up wrapped up but the champion plants himself to avoid being forced around, then reaches up to attempt to catch Luca's head and snapmare her over him to get free  

[Mister Mirage]

The new move went nowhere as Drako halted the process all together. Luca was caught by the head as she struggled to get the champion to move, and was tossed out of position, landing on her back.

 

[Drako Damone]

getting a bit tired, and knowing he has to put Luca away, Drako decides to take one last shot at putting the challenger away, attempting to pull her up again only to drop her with the Dragon Shot that he'd failed to hit earlier in the match  

[Mister Mirage]

Lifted back on her feet, Luca was immediately dropped into the Dragon Shot. Her head snapped back after being planted into canvas, throwing her on back.

 

[Drako Damone]

Drako exhaustedly floats over onto the pin, hooking the leg as he hopes he's finally put Luca away here tonight  

[Mister Mirage]

Luca was laid after the Dragon Shot, incoherent as the referee slammed his hand into the canvas.

1!
2!
3!

 

[Drako Damone]

after the count of three, Drako rolls off of the pin and lays on the mat for a few moments as his music hits over the PA.

"Here is your winner and still the WWFG World Heavyweight champion, Drako Damone!!!!"

A few moments later, Drako gets to his feet as the referee hands him the title belt and raises his hand in victory. Admittedly, he might have given Luca less credit than she deserved heading into the match but she'd gone the distance with him tonight, no different than a much larger Bison had before her.

The champ steps out of the ring, heading up the ramp and stopping on the stage to once again raise the title belt to the crowd. Now he could focus on the next big show. Wrestlemania was on the horizon, and with that last thought, the champ heads backstage  

[Mister Mirage]

The loss comes so quick that the Huntress barely comes to as Drako's music hits. Luca rolls over onto her stomach, burying her face into her arms from both exhaustion and disappointment from the match. Soon the music was replaced by claps, and the Lioness looked up to be greeted by applause from the audience. With the help of the referee she raised to her feet to face the fans.

Cheers were silence as the lights dimed and the applause was replace by the opening guitar rift as Welcome to Jungle suddenly echoed throughout the arena.

Oh my god... Wooooooooooooaah!

Beams of red light came to life, dancing on stage in rhythm of the music, bringing excitement to the crowd.

Welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games
We got everything you want honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey we got your disease

All in attendance knew the man for whom the music played. Cyrus Leone was finally returning home to the WWF! Fans began chanting for the legend as they early awaited his arrival. Cyrus! Cyrus! Cyrus! Cyrus!

The King of Beasts didn't make them wait long, stepping out onto the stage. Down at his side was the familiar Power Championship, the rechristened historic belt that once represented the World championship of the very promotion that he now returned to.



Luca gazed up at the stage anxiously as her brother made his return. After how they left things, she wasn't sure what to expect from the patriarch of the Leone family. What would he do or say? She was beginning to feel a little too exposed as she stood waiting in ring. But she wasn't waiting long, Cyrus wasted little time descending the ramp, and before she knew it, he was already at the top step of the steel staircase and the music had faded away.

Cyrus slipped in under the top rope and stepped into the ring, stopping just in front of Luca. The two stared at each other for what felt an eternity. Finally, the Lion threw his belt down, and held his arms out to his little sister. Luca doesn't hesitate for a moment, and cheers erupted throughout the arena when she embraces her brother. Stepping to the side, Cyrus suddenly held Luca's arm up. She may have lost, but she went the distance of a true champion.

Now in tears, Luca turned away when her brother let her go. It had been a trial being so far from her family, and it meant everything that Cyrus was there to see her first main event experience. Wiping her eyes, Luca turned to face her brother once again.

The crowds went silent as the Lioness is suddenly leveled by Cyrus' Last Roar clothesline. Luca struggled on the ground, holding her arms across her throat.

Kneeling down, Cyrus grabbed Luca and dragged her into position for the Appetite for Destruction. As boos now echoed throughout the arena, he lifted her up, and piledrived the Lioness right into the faceplate of the Power championship belt. After the damaged was done, with one hand he hooked one of her legs, and with the other he held up and hand simulating a pinfall.

1...2...3...

Reactions from the crowd were drowned out as his music hit once again.
After picking up his belt, Cyrus stepped over his sister, making his exit.
