Fiona pulled the table off of Tanya and dragged it to the middle of the ring, still mostly out of breath herself. She ran a hand through her hair, watching Tanya with some disbelief. [i]The longer that went on, the more I was sure she was going to tap.[/i] Fiona already knew how tough Tanya was, but it was equal parts surprising and frustrating to experience it firsthand again. What more could she do to that leg? It wasn't her normal strategy, and she was running out of ideas.

The crowd wanted a more bombastic finish, too. They were clapping and chanting "ta-ble, ta-ble, ta-ble!" at her, and Fiona wasn't surprised. In an extreme rules match, if a table was brought out, it was pretty much a guarantee one of the wrestlers was going to find a way to put their opponent through it at some point. Tanya had started this escalation of their match by pulling out the table, maybe now Fiona could make her pay for that, and finish it.

As quickly as she could, Fiona set up the legs of the table and stood it upright, setting it up perpendicular to one of the corners. [i]Time to use every bit of strength I've got, and go for something big.[/i] Her fans would expect no less.

Walking back over to Tanya, Fiona stomped on the side of her leg once, getting fresh pains to shoot through her, before grabbing her by the arm and pulling her up. Aggressively she drove her to the corner, throwing elbow strikes and shoving her back, before rushing in for a knee strike to the body. Tanya took all of it, still showing no signs of giving in. That'd change if Fiona could manage to put her through a table.

Fiona hefted Tanya up to sit on top of the turnbuckles, straining with the effort. After throwing a punch up at her head, Fiona ascended after her, going up to the middle rope and taking a moment to secure her balance. She had to get Tanya's arm over the back of her neck, get her standing on top of the turnbuckles, join her up there, and then she could go for an avalanche suplex to split that table right in two, and punch her ticket to the next round of the tournament.
