Navi Florges vs Tina Armstrong

[Vc0m]

"SHIT!", Navi once again swore as her elbow missed, Tina easily getting the blonde into a waistlock, before lifting her into the air for a German Suplex, driving her neck and shoulders first into the mat!

The Tigress would keep the bridge in, prompting the ref to attempt to count Navi out!

"ONE!"

"T---NO!"

The count had barely gotten started, but Navi, instinctively, buckled her hips and threw her arm to the side at the count of one to lift her shoulders up before the proper 2 count...

[Highfly]

"Argh! I knew ya were too tough to stay down." Tina muttered as Navi kicked out quickly. Tina rolled away and rose to her feet, waiting for Navi to rise. Tina watched and once Navi was back up she moved in again as quickly as she could! As tina moved in she spun around and jumped up, trying to send Navi back to the mat once more with a running spinning wheel kick to the face!

[Vc0m]

"Uggh...", Navi let out, as she rose from Tina's pin. This wasn't going her way whatsoever. If this continued, her journey towards the title would be over.

Getting to her feet, she would try and see from where the Tigress would strike next...

...only to see Tina rushing at her, spinning as her right foot cut through the air, nailing her on her head and causing her to drop to the mat once more, all within a split second!

[Highfly]

Ok Tina, you are off to a good start... don't waste it.

Tina had Navi laid out on the floor and reached over to grab onto one of her arms, pulling back as she used her legs to help her stretch the arm out! She hoped the armbar would put pressure on Navi and further sap her.

Tina needed to establish herself early and try to really take advantage of the opening she created. She had to show the world her win over Yukiko was not just a fluke.

[Vc0m]

Stunned, Navi shook her head to try and make up what Tina's next move was going to be...

Just as she had done so, she felt the Tigress grabbing her arm, starting to wretch it all the way back, looking to apply an armbar on her!

"Ah! No, don't you dare!", submission move this early in the match, especially to her arm, would be devastating in long-term, Navi realized that. If she didn't escape, Tina would take one of her biggest assets, her power-based arsenal, away from her, severely cutting her chances to move to the finals!

Trying to avoid such fate, she turned on her right side, as Tina was trying to catch her arm into the hold on the same side. The blonde would try and grasp her own arm, hard, to avoid it being outstretched all the way for the armbar to have a proper effect!

[Highfly]

Navi was too smart to let Tina get away with the armbar. Tina could let go, or try something else. If she let go from here she would be rushing to beat Navi to her feet, no good.

Tina tried to twist heraelf and deliver a light toss or roll to Navi, at least allowing Tina to make it back up to her feet and readying herself without a fear of imminent attack from Navi. At least that is what she was hoping for!

[Vc0m]

Although she managed to successfully block Tina's attack, Navi wasn't safe just yet. The Tigress would attempt (and manage) to roll from her position right up to her feet, leaving Navi in a vulnerable position on her (now released) hands and knees!

Not content with giving Tina further advantage, Navi would attempt a quick rise to her feet. As she did so, she attempted to grab the brunette's legs right as she got up to her feet. If successful, Navi would hold Tina in midair for half a second, before bring her down to the mat hard with a Spinebuster!

[Highfly]

"Wha- Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!" Tina shouted as Navi waste no time in pressing the attack again! Tina was laid out flat on her back after the spine hater, howling in pain and kicking her legs as Navi crushed her down to the canvass!

This start of hers had done a total 180, and Navi was now in control!

[Vc0m]

Breathing heavily after her counter, Navi quickly rushed back to her feet. Usually, she would've launched a jab or an insult back at her opponent at a time like this. Difference now being...there was no time to do that. A wasted motion was all that was needed to ruin once chances at a title belt. Navi knew that she couldn't let her cockiness get the better of her in this contest.

Instead, she would very quickly rush towards the nearest set of ropes for a rebound and a momentum gain, before rushing back at Tina, jumping while there was less than a meter between her and her rival, aiming her back at Tigress's torso for a Running Senton!

[Highfly]

Tina was trying to recover, and about to sit up when Navi came crashing back down on her! Tina howled out in agony again as she squirmed on the mat, kicking in pain. Tina groaned and rolled, trying to roll over and make it slowly to her hands and knees. She couldn't allow herself to stay down against Navi, no way.

Tina tried to struggle up to her feet, her best attempts wobbly as she was in a lot of pain after Navi's onslaught. Tina had to be tougher, stronger, faster... better than before to win.
