Lykos quick drops down and goes for the pin

As Lykos made the cover, the referee got into position.
One

Thr
As the referee's hand was coming down for the final time, Reich managed to barely pop his shoulder off the canvas, causing the crowd to erupt in shock.
"WHAT?!?!"
"How in the hell did he manage to kick out of that? I thought for sure Reich was out after that shot."

Lykos rises to a kneel from the pin he'd made as Reich just manages to kick out. The champion spares a glance at the reference, seemingly irritated that he hadn't gotten the three count. That's ok, he knows how to get it now. Rising to his feet, he goes to pull the challenger up in the powerbomb position, aiming to lift and drop him with the Howler

"Here it is JR! Lykos hits this and this is over!
"I hate to say it King, but you may be right, this could very well be the death sentence for Reich's title aspirations."
Even though he was half out of it, as he was lifted up into the powerbomb position, Reich looked
to hammer down a series of rights to delay the move and give him one last fighting chance.

Lykos seemed to have things well in hand, given that he's got his very large challenger up and it's very abnormal for fellow big men to counter once they're up. Somehow, however, Reich does, hitting him in the head, prompting Lykos to simply release the hold he would normally keep to properly plant him. Up to the challenger how he lands

The strikes did the trick and he managed to land on his feet in front of the challenger. With the quickness of a snake strike, he would look to return the favor with a nasty V trigger knee strike to the champion's head.

Lykos unfortunately can't dodge the knee strike and it clocks him, knocking the champion to the mat for the time being

He smelled blood and he fell on his prey like a hungry wolf on a deer carcass. His focus was on the neck of his opponent and he would look to lock in a bulldog choke hold to see if he could further wear his opponent out.
"Just moments ago, we thought it was over JR, but this crafty German has some tricks up his sleeve."
"It's all about the title. It makes men go through Hell and do crazy things to get it. You should know that King!"

head ringing from the knee to the face, Lykos finds himself locked in the chokehold, not unfamiliar since it looks like a side headlock, but not the most comfortable place to be after getting kneed in the face

"What exactly is Reich trying to do JR? Does he honestly think a simple headlock will be enough to take down the champ?"
"It's the bulldog choke King. It's a variation of the RNC. Watch what he does."
During the explanation, Reich would look to elevate his hips in an attempt to apply more torgue and pressure on the neck of the downed champion.

Lykos feels the added pressure of the hold, but he's not completely helpless. Reaching up for Reich's waist, he attempts to roll them both to the side, almost as if for a roll up but more to throw Reich off him

The roll forced him to break the choke as the champion managed to get some separation, much to his surprise. But the surprise quickly turned to fury and he looked to clock Lykos with a Hidden Blade to the head, looking to dim the lights.

Lykos was starting to get up when all of a sudden he's clocked in the back of the head with the Hidden Blade, sending him face first to the mat. The champion seems to be in real jeopardy at this point

It was clear that Reich was feeling it, was smelling the blood in the water. As the champion lay there in a haze, he looked to take advantage of the situation and went with an attempt at a rear naked choke to put the champion down for good.

Lykos seems to be out of it and soon finds himself locked in another choke, a rear naked choke. If he'd been standing, this would be easier to escape but as it is, he's desperately trying to find a way to escape and failing for the moment
