Flight of the Monarch: Faith Watterson vs Aiko Sugiyama

[Bare]

Faith groaned in pain and kicked her legs against the floor in protest after taking such hard impacts to her back so soon into the match. While new to wrestling she knew this was bad and would put a literal target on her back for the rest of the match. Something that she had a feeling Aiko would have no issue with exploiting.

Lifted up and propped against the barricade now she would look up, watching as her opponent came flying in for what would no doubt be a devastating attack! So Faith would act quickly pulling herself along the barricade to hopefully dodge the move and let Aiko collide knee first into the barricade instead!

Aiko was fast, but Faith was faster. The Monarch charged at Faith against the barricade. Upon getting close enough she leapt into the air to slam her with a running knee strike. Suddenly Faith pulled herself to the side and got out of the way. Aiko ended up flying over the barricade. A jolt of pain coursed through her as her shin struck the top of the barricade. Aiko tumbled over and landed on her butt on the other side, crying out in pain.

Faith panted and gasped softly in relief knowing she just avoided a majorly bad situation with that last moment evasion. Turning towards her opponent who now was over the barricade. Something that she had to use now. Pushing herself over the barricade herself and approaching her opponent, ignoring the ref's count for them to get back into the ring, she would bend down, grabbing hold of Aiko and lifting her up she would bring her closer to the barricade before climbing back over the barricade before placing Aiko's arm over her neck before grabbing hold of her hip, and trying to lift up, pulling Aiko into the air and over the barricade before slamming the woman down with a snap suplex!

Aiko lay against the barricade from the other side breathing heavily. She went for a big move and it cost her. The lights then were blocked by Faith coming over the barricade. She grabbed Aiko and pulled her up. Aiko then found herself locked in with Faith, their arms around the back of each other’s necks. Faith then grabbed Aiko’s tights at the hip and hoisted her up in the air. Aiko was flung up over the barricade and landed on her back on the ringside floor with a snap suplex. Aiko screamed in pain and arched her back up from the impact.

Faith had gotten off to a bad start in this match, no question about that. But she was looking to turn that around now, even if she had to do it from the outside. Managing to land a snap suplex on her opponent that sent Aiko back on the ringside area Faith would climb back over and reach down, grabbing a hold of her opponent by the hair to pull her up.

If successful than the older woman would aim to take things back to her comfort zone, pulling the Monarch to the ring and rolling her inside before climbing up the apron and holding onto the top ropes. Rather than enter the ring normally however... Faith would leap up and over the ropes, trying to fly into the ring and crash down onto Aiko for a springboard splash that she'd then lay across Aiko for to cement a pinfall attempt!

[ScylliasExoter]

Aiko, still in pain from the suplex, yelped as she was yanked to her feet by her hair. She was then rolled into the ring. Lying in a supine position staring up at the lights, Aiko’s vision darkened as Faith’s form blocked the lights. Faith came down on her with a springboard splash. Aiko cried out in pain. Faith lay across her belly to belly and went for the pin.

ONE!
TWO!
TH-Nooooooo!

Aiko got her shoulder up at the two count and broke the pin. She lay there with Faith trying to recover after the springboard splash.

Leaping from the ropes towards her opponent after forcing her back into the ring Faith had taken to the air herself, crashing down onto the Monarch's body for a splash, transitioning directly into a pin fall attempt after! Holding the position as best as possible the referee would actually get pretty high in the count, only for Aiko to break out at the last possible moment! Forced into a seated position from it Faith would nod to herself, expecting such a thing before turning and moving to sit behind her opponent, trying to wrap her arms around the woman's throat to attempt to secure a seated sleeper hold on the woman!

[ScylliasExoter]

Aiko pushed Faith off her when she broke the pin. Sitting up, Aiko was perfectly set up and was ensnared by Faith’s sleeper. With Faith smushed up against her back in a seated position, Aiko struggled. Her right arm flailed wildly reaching for the ropes. Her left was pulling on Faith’s arm wrapped around her neck. Slowly but surely Aiko began slowing down. Her arms grew heavier and the pressure in her vision grew. Slumping against Faith’s chest, Aiko gasped,
”That all you got?!”
Out of desperation, The Monarch reached up and clawed at Faith’s face to break the sleeper.

[Bare]

This was it! It was still early in the match but Faith seemed to have done a good enough amount of damage to have her opponent well and truly stunned, leaving her in perfect position to secure in a sleeper hold on the Monarch! Smiling a bit as she squeezed Faith would watch as slowly but surely her movements seemed to slow, threatening to stop.

Yet strangely enough Aiko seemed to want to use what little air she had left to yell a taunt at her! "I should be asking you tha- AGH!" Faith yelled out in pain as out of nowhere nails raked against her eyes, forcing her to release her opponent and scramble away from her opponent, clutching her eyes while yelling in pain, all while the ref came down to admonish Aiko for the act!

[ScylliasExoter]

After collecting herself, Aiko smiled a devious smile as the tide turned. Seeing Faith reeling from the eye rake, she proceeded to ignore the ref, who was beneath her in social standing, and unleash a flurry of stomps on Faith to keep her down. The Monarch then grabbed her by the hair and placed her face down with her neck on the ropes. Aiko would then try to choke Faith on the ropes by sitting on her back and pushing against the top rope.
