[Standard Match] Jeanne Hastings[D] Vs Elena Walker - At the Bell : An Intended Encounter

[Hitman45]

Elena was assured that she had done enough to convincingly execute this maneuver as well, that Jeanne would take it lying down without a fight. Two powerful moves, followed by the promise of a third one, with the potential to be as devastating ot more. It all made sense. Until it didn't.

"Wha—How did y—Auuughh!!" It wasn't Jeanne who yelped this time around.

The audience were surprised as well to see the Brit seemingly snapping out of her funk to deal such a powerful slam to her opponent, who was looking to cruise. Elena's torso craned upward to the side, with an arm hovering over the lower back, face contorted into a grimace. She was definitely caught off-guard by the Crusader's reversal and gently rolled onto her stomach to try and pull herself back up...

[Devastated]

Jeanne's reversal worked like a charm! She plucked the blonde off the ground and swung her down with that Northern Light suplex, slamming her back into the mat and with it Jeanne's body rolled over onto her front and off Elena. She'd push up to her hands and knees, huffing out a little bit as she looked over at her foe.

She saw Elena start to try and pull herself back up, and would quickly attempt to rise up. Her goal was to step in behind her foe, one arm slipping around that waist as she'd try to poke her head in under one of Elena's armpits to hoop her arm around her shoulders. The Crusader would bring her other hand to the back of Elena's thigh and with a heave she would try to lift Elena up off her feet! "Heave ho, up you go~!" Jeanne spoke out as she tried to lift Elena up before throwing herself backwards...Jeanne sought to drive Elena down flat on her back with a Belly-to-back suplex!

[Hitman45]

Elena had to give it to Jeanne. After eating two hard slams like she had, it would've been understandable had she tried to escape the blonde's third and maybe create distance between themselves. But the Crusader answered the throw with a slam of her own! And it hurt, evident by the way Elena grimaced as she got back to her feet.

But Jeanne was nowhere to be found. Befuddled, the blonde tried to look around, only to feel a shade of purple popping up at the bottom of her eyes and an arm snaking around the waist and another behind her thigh!

"GHhaakkk!!!" Air whooshed out of the blonde's lungs, her brain got rattled inside the skull, and a blanket of pain enveloped her back all of a sudden. She lightly bounced on the mat from the impact of the fall and rolled to her side again, groaning from the throbbing back, the muscles twitching and spasming very uncomfortably...
