Jem Holland vs Dana Ashford - Stepping Stone to Apex

[winner3]

Dana continued fully embracing her sadism while also relishing in the boos and the heat from the crowd! She stood dominantly over LAW's Greatest E-Girl! She drank in the reactions! And all the while Jem didn't move a muscle! When Ashford finally bent down to collect Jem and apply the Inverted Facelock, Jem was still in no position to fight back!

"Mgh..." A single groan escaped Jem's lips as Dana's bicep covered her arm. She got a face full of armpit and side-boob as Dana fashioned her into a Dragon Sleeper!

The move would see Jem lay there limply in Dana's grasp in a seated position! Jem could only weakly paw at the bigger blonde's arm for a few seconds before she began to stop moving entirely! Much like Ashford's oppressive Bearhug earlier, Dana seemed to squeeze the life out of Jem, this time even faster than before! But the sadistic beauty wasn't content to let Jem go out quietly! Dana used her free hand to add an abdominal claw to the hold! She spurred Jem back to life, by painfully clawing the E-Girl's tight core!

"AH!" Jem let out a sharp cry of pain! She began to try and kick her way free and reach for the ropes! But they were too far!

The crowd began to clap and get behind Jem! Jem would occasionally cry out in pain from the Ab Claw part of the hold, much to Dana's satisfaction! The referee would kneel down to ask Jem if she was ready to give up. But Jem could only weakly shake her head no! And even that small gesture alone was enough to draw Jem chants from the crowd from Jem's very dedicated fan base!

Trapping Jem in the dragon sleeper while sinking her claw into her belly, Dana was having quite a great time there, relishing in the boos and jeers from the crowd as she tortured the younger woman. She could feel that her opponent had been severely weakened by her moves, though Jem still refused to submit. At the very least, the younger woman was quite determined. But Dana sought to bring this match to an end and break her, either her spirit or her body.

"Listen to them..." Dana cooed, still keeping her claws on Jem's abs. "They want you to prevail. Imagine how disappointed they will be if you lose to me. Well... they're used to disappointment, so it's not all that bad." Dana shrugged before she began to lessen the force of the claw. "Try to fight back. Fight as hard as you can. It'll make your loss much, much, much sweeter to me. And much more bitter to you." Removing her claw from Jem's belly, Dana would then clench her hand into a fist before she pounded it into Jem's belly. Then she would let her drop to the mat, releasing her from the dragon sleeper.

[winner3]

Dana continued to impose her will on Jem. The E-Girl hung in there with whatever will and constitution she could muster. Jem's fans weren't your typical pro wrestling fans. They knew her even before her time at LAW. They rallied behind her even now! Holland couldn't bring herself to let them down! Even with the odds stacked against her like this!

"N-no....!" Jem protested as she continued to writhe in Ashford's hold!

Dana's abdominal claw threatened to tear through the fabric of her white leotard as The Smiling Demon put more and more pressure on her abs! By this point, one of Jem's arms hung limply at her side as she seemed to succumb to Dana's Sleeper Hold! Her other hand pawed as the woman's surprisingly strong bicep, which kept her in check! For perhaps the third or even fourth time this match, Jem seemed like she was mere seconds from being put away by the mature heavyweight beauty! Dana seemed to have her dead to right! The Malicious Matriarch was enjoying every second of it!

"Grrr!" Jem growled weakly as she heard Dana's words. Breaking down fan favorites in the ring seemed to be precisely what Dana lived for! Jem could hear the fans continue to rally behind her! She felt the grip of Dana's hold loosen as the bigger woman spurred her to continue fighting to make this match more interesting to her!

The beloved E-Girl knew that the match was playing out exactly how it to! Jem couldn't just let Dana have her way! She couldn't let the voluptuous Smiling Demon steamroll her here! She couldn't let Dana set her up to fail to live up to her beloved fan base's expectations!

"Hmm!" With a small hum of effort, Jem planted the soles of her feet against the canvas and arched her back! Holland would begin to bridge backward and haul herself and her core higher up off the canvas in an attempt to resist Dana's Dragon Sleeper!

The crowd let out a quick but audible cheer as Jem slowly began to rise! Jem clenched her fist to respond to them! And as she did, Dana clenched her own!

"GUH!" A deep groan left Jem's lips as Dana laid into her with a harsh, clubbing blow to The E-Girl's tight abs!

The punch to her belly undid any progress Jem made with rising up off the mats! Dana knocked Jem back down to the canvas! The smaller blonde fell onto her back and lay there, sputtering and breathless! Once again, the boos were audible. And once again, Dana seemed to hold a firm command of both her opponent and the crowd in attendance that continued to back the breathless E-Girl that was sprawled out at her feet! But even though she was looking quite spent, after a few deep breaths, Jem would find the means to roll over...

"Huff..... huff...." Jem would pant as she summoned whatever strength she could. If she was left unhindered, she'd reach for Dana's ankle and slowly pull herself up to a kneeling position.

"I'll...fight you....so hard..." Jem exhaled in defiance. And yet, she was only able to fall forward, resting against Dana's plump thighs and lower body, still on her knees and struggling to find some way to respond to the fans and repay Dana in kind for taking delight in her suffering and in the forecasted disappointment of the fans in the arena!

Hearing Jem's response to her words, Dana chuckled. "Now that's what I wanted to hear from you, girl. Struggle as much as you want. Fight as hard as possible, as if your life depends on it." Bending down, Dana would pull Jem up, forcing her to stand back up to her feet. Making sure that Jem would stand right in front of her, facing her, Dana displayed her smile again.

"And fall to despair, once you find out how meaningless your actions are..."

Right after saying that, Dana would bring her left hand right onto Jem's throat, though she didn't squeeze it as she would just keep her in place. Then, she would clench her right hand into a fist before she drove a punch right into the E-girl's belly, looking to make her lose her breath. Just to make it even worse, Dana would also grind her fist into Jem's abused abs.

After that, she would adjust her grip on Jem's body before she lifted her up with both hands, holding her up like some sort of trophy. Displaying her prodigious strength, Dana held Jem above her head in a military press before she swung her down as hard as possible onto the mat with a military press slam!

[winner3]

Jem was fighting hard. In her mind, she had much to prove. The E-Girl has quite the fan following. She had done well within LAW's ranks. She was just one big break, one big win, one championship from etching her name in history as wrestling's most successful E-Girl.

But in Dana's mind, all those efforts just made the act of bursting Jem's bubble that much more pleasurable! The Smiling Demon took delight in imposing her will on Holland! Each time Jem found the heart and the drive to feed off the cheers and the chants, each time she managed to find a way to pull together whatever parts of herself she could scrounge up from the canvas, Dana took pleasure in knocking her back down! By now, Jem was a hot mess. Hair disheveled, one strap of her leotard sliding down her arm, her breathing ragged. But even now, with Dana looking dominant and standing over a kneeling Jem, Jem didn't call a quits!

"I'm....I'm not done...." A breathless Holland wheezed. Dana effortlessly hauled the blonde up to her feet. And once the soles of Jem's bare feet touched the canvas beneath them, Jem's tired eyes met Dana's sadistic lavender-eyed smile. Jem heard the Ashford Matriarch's words. Everyone did. And Jem answered.

"I'm gonna.... beat you for them...I'm gonna beat you for myself.... I'm gonna...AUGH!" She was already struggling to get a few words when the buxom, curvy Heavyweight gripped her throat. The sight of Dana holding a semiconscious Jem up by her throat would live on as a highlight in both of their careers: a display of LAW'S Greatest E-Girl, a fan favorite pushed beyond her limits crumbling in the grasp of one of mature woman, one of the very best veteran wrestlers on the roster!

Jem's words were cut short by a hard blow to her abs! Dana's prodigious strength once again knocked the wind out of Jem! The force of Ashford's punch digging into the gamer girl's tight abs forced her up off her feet for a brief second! Holland's cheeks puffed up with air before she let out a pained exhale! While Jem was in a slightly doubled-over position like this with the small of her back arched and with her leotard riding up her pert bottom, Dana transitioned and adjusted her grip! The heavyweight beauty lifted the smaller blonde overhead into position for a Military Press Slam!

Jem would shake her head as Dana held her up high! With her foe's hand still gripping her throat, she couldn't form words! With one hand, Jem could only weakly grip the hand that choked her! The rest of her limbs hung like dead weight! Dana delighted in slamming Holland down as hard as she could, taking the wind out of not just Jem's sails, but the thousands of Jem fans in attendance as well! Fans reacted with a mix of concerned reactions and boos as they watched LAW's beloved and perhaps most prominent personality bounce off the canvas limply before settling in a spread eagle position at Ashford's feet!

As she looked up at the dominant Matriarch, Jem's eyes fluttered before closing. The announcers offered no reaction, only stunned silence. Jem had found ways to rally against Dana in spite of the odds, but it seemed her heart and her energy would carry her no further against The Smiling Demoness!

[PrinceArjuna332]

Showcasing her might before the audience, Dana slammed Jem down onto the mat with the military press slam, bringing the younger woman down from quite a great height onto the mat. Dana smiled as she stood over her opponent, who seemed to have nothing left in her tank after the devastating move, and she took a moment to soak in the reaction of the crowd, which were the resounding boos from all corners.

"You did well, girl, but still not enough to beat me..."

Dana said softly before she moved down, at least acknowledging her opponent's strength and resilience by going for a proper pin. Her ample breasts pressed against Jem's as she pinned her down. She reached down to one of her legs as she would go for a pinfall attempt. The referee would move next to them and start counting for the pin.

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

[winner3]

Jem had risen to the occasion time and time again in this match to meet Dana's power and toughness by finding ways to survive the mature woman's offense! But The Malicious Matriarch was simply too much for her. The E-Girl could only weather the storm from her for so long!

The sound of the splat Jem made when she fell several feet through the air and to the canvas was followed by the boos from the legions of Jem fans in attendance as Dana stood tall! There were still many who believed in Jem. But Dana's decades of in-ring experience and her time wrestling as Jem's opponent made her more aware than anyone that LAW's Greatest E-Girl was spent. As Dana basked in the boos with a sadistic, satisfied grin on her face, it was all too clear that she could simply rest her foot on Jem's toned, splayed-out frame and be done with it. But the Amazon acknowledged Holland in her own way by dropping down to pin Jem properly!

"...." Jem laid there unresponsive with her eyes closed and her lips pursed. She offered no defense and no resistance when Dana took her by the leg and pressed her curvy, thicc frame down onto Jem's smaller, fit bod.

Dana's bigger breasts pressed down upon and mushroomed against Jem's own. Jem's arms remained outstretched. Her frame lay there limp beneath Dana's. The referee's count went unimpeded!

"ONE...!"

"TWO....!"

"THREE!!!"

With that, Dana has picked up a huge win against The E-Girl in an Apex Qualifier Match! And furthered her case towards the World Openweight Championship!

[PrinceArjuna332]

With the third count, the match was over. Dana then got up and stood victorious over Jem as her arm was raised by the referee. The crowd booed the mature woman, though she smiled serenely, making it very clear that the Smiling Demon had thoroughly defeated the younger and smaller woman. She would give Jem one last look before she left the ring, her music blaring from the loudspeakers as she would make her exit. With this win, she would get her chance to fight for the World Openweight Title, cementing her legacy as one of the greats in the history of professional wrestling.

Winner: Dana Ashford via pinfall!
