Bayley versus Penelope Cruz
(Words: WW / Results: Lookout!)

BEFORE: Penelope Cruz, assistant coach of Aegis International, versus Bayley, member of the Sisters-in-Arms. Naturally, Bayley is just happy to be fighting!

"Penelope's really experienced, for starters!" Bayley comments, cheery as a kid in a candy store. "I'm not expecting this to be an easy fight, but I still think I can take her! I hope she thinks the same about me, too!"

Well...she does think it's going to be an easy fight, at least. "I do not care about these wrestler girls..." Penelope says, venom dripping in her accented voice. "...it is not real. They are not athletes: they are pretty girls who fling each other around like toys for entertainment. I will see to it that she never thinks of facing me in a real sport again!"

Bayley wearing a pair of small blue shorts and a blue bikini top with, naturally, blue gloves, while Penelope rocks a fiery red skirt and bikini combination with red gloves!

ROUND 1: Penelope steps forward, taking the lead and trying to find a way to bresk Bayley's guard. The pro wrestler bides her time, taking Penelope's attempts with calmness at first, but then whipping out a right hook as a creative countershot. Penelope jabs at her, gets hit with a left hook this time; Bayley even gutpunches her just so she can get that momentum going! Bayley pushes her back for a while, landing shots but not enough to start a full on combo. Penelope finally gets her chance and counters one of Bayley's hits with a right straight to the chest. This caught Bayley by surprise, finally allowing the Spanish beauty to get some damage in! She takes every shot she can get as she knocks Bayley back to center ring. The round ends with Bayley hitting her with a flurry of jabs, giving her enough points to win this round! Things are looking good for the hug-loving girl thus far, so hopefully she keeps it up!

ROUND 2: Bayley and Penelope go at it once again, at a relatively slow pace. Bayley comes forward with a series of jabs, but finds herself unable to break through Penelope's guard. She follows up by trying to feint Cruz, but she isn't having it and dodges right on time! Bayley finds herself swatting at air for a while, unable to strike Penelope just yet; then Penelope comes in with a nice hook! Bayley's head twists and her body shakes as she gets uppercutted right in the stomach! Penelope closes in, trying her best to harm Bayley, but Bayley gets her defense going once more. Bayley going for ranged fighting now, poking at her opponent with her arms in an attempt to avoid any close conflict. Doesn't seem to ward off Penelope, though, as the jabs graze her. She attacks Bayley once more going right for that jaw, punches connecting but not fully stunning the hugger as she comes back with a cross! This cross shakes up Penelope, but the round ends soon after, just in time to keep her safe. Speaking of, she also won on points this round, but not by too much.

ROUND 3: Penelope gets confidence, taking the lead just as she did round 1, trying to shove Bayley back with shots aimed at the chest. They don't do much, as Bayley smacks them away, still leaving the two stuck in center ring. Penelope goes low, but NO, Bayley walks her into an uppercut just in time! Bayley capitalizes, returning with shots to the ribs that leave Penelope gasping! Penelope's countershots mean absolutely nothing to the wrestler, their lack of momentum causing her gloves to bounce right off; not so fake now, is it, Penelope? She finds herself approaching a corner, eyes darting in an attempt to get out of the situation. She throws a straight at Bayley, but it's once more slammed out of the way and punished! Cruz is getting some real punishment here, folks; but she's tough enough to resist a knockdown from an athlete! The round ends with a punch inches to her face stopping as the bell rings, Bayley pumping both fists in excitement in celebration of her dominance in the round! Penelope just rushes to her corner, desiring some time to heal and rest.

ROUND 4: Penelope looks like she still hasn’t recovered fully from Bayley’s attack last round, but she’s making an effort to keep herself afloat against the pro wrestler. Penelope catches Bayley in the belly a few times, trying to avoid those nasty power punches that she has stored up. Bayley seems to keep jumping right back into the fight after getting hit quicker and quicker each time it happens, which is putting the Spanish beauty into a troublesome position. She’s getting more and more exasperated, that’s for sure. She bobs around a few more punches and catches Bayley with an uppercut! This might be a turn of the tables! She drives those glove into Bayley’s pretty face, really trying to use as much of her strength as she can to get something, ANYTHING going against her opponent! Maybe it’s working, Bayley seems to be at least a little stunned by it. Penelope smiles, preparing to continue, until Bayley DENIES her by countering with a left to the breast. Penelope yelps and gets hit a little more for her trouble, but she still wins the round on points due to Bayley’s slightly lessened offense. Hope isn’t lost for her just yet!

ROUND 5: Penelope still determined to fight, pressing on and swinging at at Bayley with a scornful look. She lands some shots, but Bayley blocks the last hit right on time. Bayley comes in with a left straight to the jaw, connecting and spewing saliva! Penelope pushes on even past that, forcing her right into Bayley's chest. She goes for it a few more times, but Bayley with ANOTHER power punch to shut it down! Penelope starts stumbling, and Bayley charges in with an uppercut to the stomach! The Spanish girl's shaky, now, hoping to recover as she gets that guard up, but Bayley smashes right through it with a left to the chest and a right to the cheeks; Penelope's gloves drop and she gets hit with one more big punch to the stomach, causing her to cough and collapse. Bayley jogging back to her corner...the ref's counting, but Penelope's eyes are shut! No reaction as he hits 10; it's over! KO5 Bayley!

AFTER: "Alright, I know what you're going to say;" Bayley begins. "Yes, Penelope Cruz is older than some of the women here. But you know what? I don't care! Some of the FCBA's strongest fighters competed when they were 'past their prime' and they did fine! I fought someone with a lot of experience, and won. It was worth it! Now I use it on all the other girls in the ring as I climb my way to the top!"

Bayley's fist is raised in the air as she walks out of the arena in triumph, the fallen Penelope Cruz only starting to wake up!
