"Diamond" Deanna Duncan vs. Michelle Bennett

[Dubski]

Deanna Duncan's head was spinning as she laid there on her side. Her head was pounding in pain, her body was aching entirely, and she was finding herself struggling to even focus. Michelle Bennett had rocked her world with a simple DDT and left her unable to fight back. And soon, she would feel herself rolled over and pinned. The platinum-haired girl's focus was off and she could barely hear the referee as she went down and started to count.

"TWO!"

But she did hear her partner, Cheyenne, on the outside bellow out, "Deanna!" with urgency, showing more caring through her general stoicism she usually carried.

"THR--"

Deanna kicked out, her whole body flopping over and out of the pin as she now lay on her front, breathing heavily with a soft whine. It was mostly on instinct at this point. She had shown grit to stay in the thing though, and although she wasn't about to be the first one up, she was at least giving herself one more chance to make something happen in this match!

It seemed that Deanna managed to kick out before the referee could finish the count, and Michelle let out an annoyed huff, thinking that her opponent was just delaying the inevitable. Rising up, Michelle decided to have Deanna on her chest and belly in preparation for her move after this. She was planning to put her opponent through a move that would surely bring this match to an end.

First, she would get both Deanna's legs and get them around one of her own legs. Then, she would reach out to both of Deanna's arms, locking them with a double underhook with her own arms. Now that the setup was complete, she would then try to lift Deanna up, making sure that her body would be suspended in the hold. It was a scorpion crosslock, which she named Catherine Wheel.

The Diamond was laying on her front, about to push herself up, only for her legs to get folded around Michelle's. The platinum-haired girl start to try clawing and pawing at the mat to try and pull herself away, but then her arms were getting grabbed with a double underhook. Deanna fought, letting out a loud yell as she tried her best to keep Bennett from properly locking in the hold. But after time, she couldn't hold out. Her opponent had too much leverage, and soon she was scooped up, her body suspended.

A new set of screams came from Deanna Duncan as she at first shook her head furiously as the referee asked if she would give. Three second passed, five seconds, and the Diamond grit her teeth until finally she managed eight seconds before nodding repeatedly and flapping one of her hands behind her.

The bell sounded and Michelle was officially declared the winner as Deanna waited to be released from the hold!

Holding Deanna in the Catherine Wheel, Michelle tried to keep her locked up in the hold, knowing that she couldn't maintain the hold forever. Fortunately for her, after a while, her opponent finally submitted, and Michelle would release her from the hold, letting her opponent drop onto the mat. Sighing, Michelle straightened her back, feeling elated after a hard-fought match. She felt exhausted, though she maintained her footing as the referee raised her arm, declaring her the victor.

Michelle smiled smugly, posing for the crowd as she basked in her victory. While she received a mixed reaction from the crowd, many seemed to agree that she had displayed such impressive show. For the time being, the British seductress celebrated her victory, posing for the crowd as her music was played. She decided to ignore Deanna for now, focusing on herself for the time being.

Deanna Duncan whimpered on the mat, her body curling up in agony as trembled in the aftermath of the hold. On the outside of the ring, Cheyenne Black Rock, her partner, shook her head in disappointment before sliding into the ring. The large woman checked on Deanna, who seemed like she was fighting back tears. "I lost..." she muttered miserably as Cheyenne helped her sit up.

"You performed admirably," said the Native American in response, glancing up at Michelle Bennett briefly. "Let's head back..." she said, helping Deanna exit the ring. Duncan kicked herself for losing, no matter how talented her opponent was. And it was a match she wasn't soon to forget. She would have to be better, fight harder, be stronger. That's all there was to it. And at the very least, she had a good friend that could help remind her of that.

Michelle watched as her opponent left with her entourage. Smirking, Michelle would stay in the ring for a while before she made her exit as well. Tonight was a fruitful one as she managed to get a win under her belt, and she would surely increase her prestige by winning more matches down the line.

Winner: Michelle Bennett via submission!
