Belinda Northman vs The Mighty Yukiko - Apex Qualifier Match

[Teenwrestler]

The surprise takedown followed up by the fold-up pin almost gave Yukiko the victory, but Belinda had always been resilient and she showed that yet again. The blonde managed to kick out at the count of two and shoved her legs foward, pushing Yukiko into the ropes. Using the momentum, Yukiko bounced off the ropes and did a backflip, attempting to come crashing down on her opponent to continue her advantage when suddenly Belinda raised her knees up at the last second.

"Guuuuughh!" Yukiko cried out in pain, the wind knocked out of her from that counter as Yukiko would slump off to the side after she came crashing down on top of Belinda's knee. The Pinkette would roll over and be hunced over on her knees, arms wrapped around her torso while her butt raised slightly up at upwards angle while she moaned in pain and tried to catch her breath.

[Devastated]

The blonde had just narrowly avoided a defeat at the hands of the pinkette by kicking out of that surprise fold-up pin! Mighty Yukiko hadn't been discouraged about not managing to pick up the win though but went straight on the attack again! However, that was when Belinda Northman showed why she was someone of ace calibre herself! Bringing her knees up, the Mighty One crashed down onto her knees and had the wind knocked out of her by that impact.

Belinda huffed, she rolled over and pushed up to her feet quickly. She saw Mighty Yukiko slumped forward on her knees and moved in behind her. Her hips pressed into that raised butt of the pinkette, as her arms would latch around her waist. With a heave, the Shooting Star would try to deadlift Mighty Yukiko up into the air and swing her backwards for a deadlift German suplex! One where she aimed to go for a bridging pin on the Perfect Ace!

The spingboard moonsault attempt proved to be a mistake. Even though the pair were very tired, Belinda's determination had still not waivered at all. She was still looking to make good on her word and defeat the Pinkette. Yukiko, on the other hand, was pretty much the same. She also had a never die attitude just like her rival as the two continued to go back and forth in this contest. Even as Yukiko's abdomen came crashing on top of Belinda's knee, the Perfect Ace could not help but chuckle and smile, despite coughing and being in pain. She was impressed by her rival's determination, as it reminded her of herself!

Rolling over onto her front, Yukiko's rear and hips were slightly raised with her arms wrapped around her midsection. That pretty much made it easy for the blonde to wrap her arms around Yukiko, heave backward and deadlift her up to her feet before arching back and slamming her down for a deadlift German suplex. "Auuurghhhh!" Yukiko cried out, her world rocked and she was left dazed when the back of her head and shoulder hit the mats. Not done yet, Belinda maintained the bridge following the suplex, transitioning into a bridge pin.

"One....Two....Thr-NO" the referee said as Yukiko would thrust her hips up just at the last second, bringing her shoulders up to kick out. The Pinkette rolled over onto her side, she was clearly exhausted and pushed to the limits but still would refuse to go down.

[Devastated]

Belinda's suplex was executed well! The crowd was cheering at the action between these two fan favourite talents! They were getting riled up at the back and forth action between them which seemed like it could potentially come to a close right now. That deadlift Suplex had ended with a bridging pin and the referee had moved in to initiate the pin count!

One which Mighty Yukiko only managed to break at the final possible moment! The referee had to raise her hands up to show two fingers to everyone to make sure they realized that it hadn't reached a third count yet. The match was still on, and even more cheers from the crowd rained down on the two ace wrestlers.

Belinda would push up to her knees, huffing out as she wiped a bit of a sweat off her forehead. Yukiko was so far proving to be quite the fearsome opponent, as talented as she was tenacious. The blonde moved up and reached down to grab at Yukiko's arm, attempting to pull her foe up to her feet. Trying to swing the pinkette up onto her shoulders and drape her in a fireman's carry.

Belinda would take a few steps to the center of the ring, then try to adjust Yukiko on top of her shoulders as she would try to throw herself backwards in an attempt to slam the Perfect Ace down with a Samoan drop!

Despite being taken to her limit, Yukiko was not ready to quit. She could still fight and make a grand comeback against an equally worthy opponent. The Pinkette rolled over and clutched her sore back, she tried to retreat to the corner but Belinda would grab her arm and pull her back up to her feet. Just as she did, the blonde would haul the Pinkette up over her shoulder in a fireman's carry.

"Ugh...oh no you don't" Yukiko would say, squirming on top of Belinda's shoulders. Yukiko would then swing her elbow against the side of Belinda's head a couple of times to stun her rival. After that, she would struggle and fall behind Belinda and landed on her feet. Yukiko quickly grabbed Belinda's head and tucked it under her armpit in a inverted facelock. Next, she grabbed Belinda's right arm to secure it.

"Its time to put you out, Belinda" she said before rolling forward to the right and attempting to driving her opponent face-first into the canvas to deliver the Cross Rhodes! If she managed to pull the move off, she would quickly roll Belinda over onto her back and attempt a quick pinfall!
