After weeks of mending... after weeks of hard training... an ex-champion looks ready to begin her road to redemption. Liberty Lane prepares for her comeback.


After weeks away from the ring, Liberty Lane makes her return to the adulation of the crowd. She needs to fight her way back to the top, going through a gauntlet of women, to face the woman who took away her championship belt: Vanity Vale.

Her first opponent is already in the ring...



...Nina Strong! Nina is looking to put Liberty away tonight, showing the world the champion ain't what she's cracked up to be.



Liberty's first match goes her way from the beginning. The heroine shows the crowd that her heart is into this and that her training has been paying off. She powers through Nina Strong, from corner to corner.



After 3 rounds of Liberty commanding the match, she puts her opponent out of her misery with a blistering uppercut!


Liberty Lane takes in the cheers of the crowd after Nina Strong is counted out! "YOUR WINNER, BY KNOCKOUT IN THE THIRD ROUND, LIBERTY LANE!!"

The ex-champ is back and she is setting her eyes on the championship belt. But before that, she has to get through her next opponent... Sally Bubbles.



Liberty Lane's next hurdle to cross came in the shape of the bubbly Sally Bubbles. This cute little boxer played to the crowd, but in the ring, she was a dynamo!



Liberty Lane was riding high off her last victory. Sally Bubbles may be cute and tough, but Liberty was wasn't worried. She was ready for her next match.



As much of a dynamo that Sally Bubbles was, she was no match for Liberty's determination. Liberty drove through her like a 4x4 truck, immediately attacking her belly and head. Sally was winded by the middle of the first round!



Liberty went to work on Sally and dismantled her in ONE ROUND! A final uppercut snapped the bubbly girl's head back and shut out her lights.



"THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH, BY 1ST ROUND KNOCKOUT, LIBERTY LANE!"

Liberty was looking to make a statement and show the current champion, Vanity Vale, that she was a new force to be reckoned with. Liberty raised her arm in victory to the cheers of her fans. She still had to get through another obstacle, but she looked into the camera and mouthed the words, "Vanity, I'm coming for my belt!"


Liberty Lane was fresh off of two victories and ready to plow through her third. Only one woman mattered to her: Vanity Vale.

But before that, she had to get through her toughest challenge yet...


...Pepper Synn! Synn was no pushover. She was coming off her own string of victories and was looking to add Liberty Lane to the list. She wanted the championship belt for herself and saw Liberty as just another stepping stone.



The first round began with Pepper Synn taking command of the bout. She jumped in to the blond and began rocking her with blows. Liberty Lane, however, kept light on her toes and managed to avoid many of the punches.



Pepper doesn't allow the ex-champ to fight back. She keeps pounding into Liberty, as the blonde tries blocking and surviving the attack.

DING! Liberty makes it through the round, angry, but focused.



Liberty Lane had become a bit overconfident due to her last two victories. But now, she knew she was up against a tough, solid fighter. She knew she had to get serious.

But would that be enough to stop her opponent and open a doorway to a Championship Match with Vanity Vale? Or would Pepper Synn destroy her chances at getting her belt back?


Pepper Synn, meanwhile, sat back in her corner, readying herself for victory. She didn't care who Liberty Lane was... she just wanted to drop her and put down her own challenge for Vanity Vale's belt.

Would Pepper Synn stop Liberty's path to the Championship? Or would Liberty Lane come out on top with her hand raised in victory?


The next round begins with Liberty taking control before Pepper has a chance to. Liberty Lane plows into her opponent with body punches and head shots.




All that goes through Liberty's mind is the goal of Championship gold as she hammers Pepper with severe blasts to the face. Pepper looks stunned as her defense crumbles away!



The ex-champ proves she's back with an attack that crushes her cocky foe and a final left hook snaps Pepper's head to the side, shutting out her lights.

All that's left is the 10-count, which goes by slowly.



DING! "YOUR WINNER, BY KNOCKOUT IN THE SECOND ROUND... LIBERTY LANE!!"

Liberty, ecstatic with her win, jumps up in the air to the cheers of the crowd! Pepper Synn looks around the arena, groggily.


Pepper Synn thought she had the match in her pocket, but looks around, finally realizing SHE was the one counted out tonight.



Liberty Lane raises her arms high, beating several women to make her comeback. The fans scream it and she knows it: "LIBERTY IS BACK! LIBERTY IS BACK!"



Liberty Lane's victory celebration is cut short as she gets a visitor: current Champion, Vanity Vale!



Vanity Vale looks on her arch-rival with a look of contempt. She approaches the ring and hops in to examine her future opponent more closely.
