Description
Ulla de Melo and Phoenix readied themselves inside the squared circle in preparation for their bout against Tayanna and her mystery tag partner. Although Phoenix and Ulla have been around each other for a good bit backstage here and there, this was their first time ever teaming up together in a match so their chemistry and overall synergy within this bout will certainly be put to the test. But, how bad could it be comparably? After all, Tayanna has been doing herself no favors by being the lone wolf within the black and blue brand and has made more enemies than friends…Who in their right mind would want to team up with her? Well, Ulla and Phoenix would get their answer as their opponents would make their entrance.
As Tayanna came out, she rightfully was hailed with boos and pure rejection from the crowd, her actions and assaults on Ulla have been universally hated by fans and they wished for this to be the bout where she gets her comeuppance! As the audience quieted down and leaned forward to see who Tayanna’s partner would be- it was someone that nobody knew, but Tayanna. A man addressed in a similar Aztec-related attire just like Tayanna, wearing a menacing hawk-like war hat and paired with a striking blue facial paint, Huitzilopochtli has made his official debut! With everyone needing some context on who the hell this guy was, the ring announcer did just that by revealing that this man was indeed, TAYANNA’S DAD!
Phoenix and the entirety of the fans in the stadium were utterly shocked hearing this revelation while Tayanna looked on with a smug grin. Marching down the ramp and up to the ring with his daughter following his lead, Huitzilopochtli jumped up to the ring apron. Stripping off his non-combat-oriented gear to the outside, Tayanna’s old man would then leap over the top rope into the ring. His entrance did leave an impression on everyone in attendance and especially with Ulla and Phoenix who didn’t know what to make of this man who slowly approached them. He would right stop in front of them with a stone-cold expression on his face. Taking a moment to size up the two bird-themed, Tayanna’s dad would suddenly lunge forward and lock both Ulla and Phoenix in paint headlocks! Instinctively, Ulla and Phoenix would try to free themselves from this and shove off their face-painted attacker. Pushed back to the middle of the ring, Huitzilopochtli would raise an eyebrow before spreading out his stance and pounding his chest in a way to dare either Ulla or Phoenix to come at him.
Ulla and Phoenix exchanged looks before it was a non-verbal agreement that it would be Eli taking on this man’s challenge. Seeing this, the referee officially started the match! Phoenix glared at this blue-painted man who still remained firmly rooted in position at the middle of the ring. Seeing this as a chance to demonstrate early dominance, Eli would bounce off the ropes and try to hit a Lariat across his foe’s chest. But once his arm made contact, his opponent didn’t even move an inch from his original spot nor did it look like it afflicted any visible damage on the warrior. Figuring it was gonna take more effort than his first attempt, Phoenix would do his move again with a similar result. Tayanna’s dad looked unimpressed as he raised an eyebrow at this feeble attempt to get him off his feet. Eli, knowing he had to take a different approach, grabbed his foe by the wrist and tried to Irish Whip him to the ropes. But once Phoenix tugged on Huitzilopochtli’s arm, he felt just how strong this man really was. Instead, Phoenix would be the one Irish Whipped to the ropes! Bouncing off it, Tayanna’s dad would attempt a Clothesline to take Eli’s head, but the masked man would roll underneath it. Using his added momentum to try and get Huitzilopochtli off his feet, Phoenix was going to fly! Heading over and springboarding off the ropes, Phoenix would attempt a Springboard Crossbody onto Tayanna’s dad, but he would quickly regret attempting this. Just as Phoenix was going to make impact with his foe, the bird man would be shot out of the sky! Dropping to the mat in a heaving heap, It would be shown on replay that Huitzilopochtli Headbutted Eli right in the midsection! Phoenix being knocked out of the sky would be a further theme in this match as both Ulla and Phoenix would be both grounded and divided…
As the match went on, Phoenix continued to try and put on a valiant effort against Huitzilopochtli with successes in other areas like with tag team moves with Ulla- he would be left in a predicament where he was crawling to make the tag with his partner. As Eli reached out to try and switch out with Ulla, the Brazilian bird would be suddenly pulled off the ring apron! Dragged to the outside of the ring by Tayanna, the Aztec warrior would then hit Ulla with a Spin Kick to the face that quickly dropped her to the ground. As Phoenix watched on, he tried to regain the strength to try and go aid his partner, but he had bigger fish to fry. Eli was on all fours when he felt a powerful grasp wrapped around his waist. He was then hauled up to the air and dropped to the mat just as fast with a Deadlift German Suplex by Huitzilopochtli! Even though he had a bridge on Phoenix and could’ve gone for a pin, the proud warrior flipped over while still holding onto Phoenix’s waist and hit him with ANOTHER Deadlift Suplex! Once more, Huitzilopochtli did the exact same thing but still held onto Phoenix, Tayanna’s dad did a release version of the Suplex and sent the luchador spine-first into the ring buckles! Crumbling in the corner, Phoenix looked down and out!
On the other side of the ring, Ulla was rolled back into the ring with Tayanna in pursuit. What was happening on the outside of the ring, with the ref distracted with Phoenix and Huitzilopochtli- Tayanna managed to sneakily use her macuahuitl to punish and beat Ulla with it before discarding it without the ref seeing. But her father saw and once Tayanna was in the ring- instead of praise for this cheating tactic- Huitzilopochtli got in his daughter’s face and scolded her for such a cowardly move. From what fans could make out, he said stuff along the lines of “A warrior who needs to defeat their foe by depending on the shadows and trickery- is no warrior. But merely just a coward in disguise.” These words did cut deep into Tayanna as she looked away from her father’s disapproving glare while gritting her teeth. He would then place a hand on his daughter’s shoulder before pointing to downed Ulla- and told her it was time to give her a “Warrior’s Ending”! Hearing this, Tayanna nodded and prompted Ulla to her feet before heading over to the other side of the ring. Both daughter and father were nested on either corner of the squared circle. On cue, both Tayanna and her dad came flying out of the corner to hit a nasty simultaneous Knee and Superkick strike to Ulla’s head! Just like that, it was lights out for the Brazilian Harpy.
With Ulla ultimately because of the father-daughter finisher combo, Tayanna would kick and roll her out of the ring. Huitzilopochtli would drag Phoenix to the middle of the ring and simply tell his daughter it was time for the “Sacrifice”. Knowing what that meant, Tayanna would flip Phoenix onto his gut and interlocked her legs with his before pulling him back and lifting him to the sky for her Romero Special finisher maneuver! Eli would struggle and try to fight through the sheer pain to escape but he was sapped and he was fading fast. But this sacrificial ritual wasn’t over, feeling that was out of energy, Tayanna called out to her dad to go onto step-2! Positioning himself right next to Phoenix’s side, Huitzilopochtli would leap off his feet into the air before dropping an Axe Handle Slam with his fists right onto Phoenix’s ribs! Eli gritted his teeth and tried not to scream out in agony from the sheer pain, but Huitzilopochtli continued this several different times and utterly peppering Phoenix’s body with blow after blow. With his body not being able to take much more of this, Eli was forced to tap out…
Instantaneously fans would boo this outcome and both Tayanna and her father but neither cared. Tayanna in particular was more interested to hear how proud her father was of her performance in this match. He coldly didn’t say anything but only gave a disapproving look at her. Tayanna once more looked away in shame before turning her anger and frustration towards Ulla. Glaring at the Brazilian Harpy who was helping Phoenix up the ramp, Ulla would notice this and turn back to face Tayanna. The two interlocked glares and without saying a word cemented things were far from over with each other! Seeing the potential of this, Leviathan officials declared that Ulla and Tayanna will face once more in a Table, Ladders, and Chairs match with ANYTHING goes! If you want to see the eventual end of this rivalry and possibly Tayanna getting her revenge or the contrary, Ulla getting her vengeance- stay tuned for the next Leviathan match!
