Lightweight action sees milestone fight continuing a rivalry. It is only fitting that Taylor Swift’s 100thfight is against her old rival Kendall Jenner. The two have a storied history, with Kendall winning the best of seven series 4-2 and ruining the singer’s birthday bash in their last meeting. Tonight, Taylor looks for revenge while Kendall looks to spoil her rival’s 100thfight. Swift is not yet eligible for the Hall of Fame after fighting a bare knuckles and a JMDD fight, but the blonde will make her qualifying fight soon. The press conference buzzes with excitement as the two bitter rivals enter, the anticipation of a big fight even though the lightweight title is not on the line.

Kendall grabs her mic first, “This may be a big fight because I am in it and Taylor is fighting her 100thfight, but I’m the better fighter here. I’ve had two title reigns. I wasn’t beaten by my own stablemate. But above all, I wiped the floor with Taylor and sent her home a loser on her birthday. She wants another shot at me? Fine. She will lose because she is not as good as me. She couldn’t take down Kate Upton. I will. When I do, I will bury any chance Taylor has of claiming she was as good as me.”

Taylor laughs, “Who has the most consecutive lightweight title defenses?” she asks. “I do. I beat you during that reign. I beat you before. I will beat you again. Kate may be a b*tch, but I am not done with her. I will get my revenge, and she will bow to me. I am a guaranteed hall of fame fighter. I am not going to lose my 100thfight to you.”

The two girls come close to blows and the security pulls the two apart.

After:

For their second straight fight Jenner ruins Swift’s day to celebrate her 100thfight. The model prances around the ring, posing for the cameras before shedding her gloves and crouching down in front of the singer’s face. Kendall reaches out and lifts up Taylor’s chin to look the model right in her eyes.

“So much for not losing your 100thfight to me,” Kendall taunts. Taylor tries to look away, but the model holds her chin so she can not. “Now, there is a choice to make. I’ve already proved so many times I am your superior, so you don’t need to worry about that. I could wrap my legs around you and prove who has the better legs. But I already did that and proved that to you.”

Kendall pauses, “We have a common enemy. Kate Upton. So I will let you go without too much dishonor. But you owe me a favor. When I face Kate, you back me.”

Jenner stands up and exits the ring as the two rivals may have a tense pause on hostilities. The crowd stares and wonders how desperate Kendall must be to recruit one arch-nemesis against another.

Jenner all business as she walks into the press conference, “I told you I was better than her. Her 100thfight is nothing. Just another win for me.” When asked about her strange mercy at the end of the fight, Kendall shrugs, “Taylor is no threat to me. I ruined her birthday and her 100thfight. She hates Kate. Better to have her in my corner than Kate’s.” The model leaves

Swift makes her way to the press conference minutes later, her eyes red. The singer is unusually quiet, and she keeps her comments brief. “Kendall was the better fighter tonight.” She pauses, “It’s tough to lose a milestone match. But I will show I can beat her once we are done with Kate.”
