Tiki Lowell vs Chika Igarashi

[Vc0m]

The ropes weren't getting any closer, nor did it seem like Tiki's grip was waning in the slightest...especially as Tiki called Chika out on trying to ride the hold out!

"Mggggh!!!"

Chika never submitted in a match in her life...and tonight, she wasn't going to start! Instead, the Raven Knight would twist her body up, further stretching her already twisted spine as she gritted her teeth to stop herself from screaming in agony...but as a result, she would manage to get her leg in position...before trying to ram it into Tiki's face to free herself of the hold!

Tiki had Chika in some big trouble. There would be no riding it out for the younger wrestler. If the Raven Knight was gonna get out, she was gonna have to fight for it. The veteran saw her fellow finalist twist her body into the Stretch Muffler even more than Tiki was already doing so herself. She knew that this had to be part of an escape attempt, but with both arms occupied behind her head, the Brit wasn't sure how much she'd be able to do about it.

The answer ended up being not much, as Chika caught Tiki flush in the nose with a kick from her free leg. "Ack!" Tiki yelped as she lost her hold of the smaller woman's leg and fell onto her back. Tiki would try to roll away, trusting that Chika wouldn't be able to move with much of a burst in the immediate aftermath of her escape.

[Vc0m]

Under normal circumstances, Tiki wouldn't have been wrong. Being stuck in a Stretch Muffler for a good half-a-minute definitely did a number on the younger MILF's spine, making it very difficult for her to move going forwards in the match.

However, adrenaline was a hell of a drug.

After catching Tiki with a hard kick to her face, Chika was shocked to find out how light her body actually felt. The hold activated her fight or flight instinct, as she practically rushed back to her feet to pursue Tiki, trying to nail her in the head with a Roundhouse Kick!

[deezcastforms]

Though Tiki was stung by the kick Chika used to escape, she figured that the smaller woman would be hurt enough by the submission hold she had just been locked in for so long that she wouldn't be able to follow up. But after Tiki rolled away, she was blasted in the face by Chika's foot a second time before the veteran wrestler could get anywhere past to her knees.

"Augh!" Tiki grunted as she fell back down. She held her face has as she rolled back and forth on her stomach. It was a strong kick, and the fact that Tiki hadn't seen it coming at all made it hit all the harder. Facing away from Chika, Tiki knew that this was about to get worse, but that she also was too staggered to do anything about it.

[Vc0m]

The kick perfectly found it's mark, Tiki crumpling from her skull being rattled. Chika could tell her body was tired...but the adrenaline was completely dulling the sensation. She still needed to take 2 falls off Tiki, so this feeling this early on was a bad thing. She had to move fast in order to claim victory in the tournament...but she knew Tiki wasn't going to go down easy.

With Tiki downed, Chika would wrap her arms around the greenette veteran's waist. Taking a deep breath, the Raven Knight would try and deadlift Tiki off the ground...before trying to toss her back, to drive the greenette shoulders and neck first into the ground with a Deadlift German Suplex!

Tiki was too stunned to wriggle and thrash out of Chika's grip when she felt the Lightweight's hands sliding under her stomach. Her mind registered what was happening and wanted her body to stop it, but the connection had been rattled. The connection between brain and body had been momentarily severed, giving Chika the chance to slam Tiki backwards with her Suplex.

"GAH! Agh," Tiki groaned as her back hit the mat with force. She fell onto her side, before settling back onto her stomach again. But despite being sore, Tiki still had plenty of energy to keep going. If Chika gave the veteran a moment to shake off the slam, then the larger woman would try to throw her weight around. Attempting to lunge at the Raven Knight's legs and drag her to the mat, so that she could try to climp Chika's back and lock her into a Camel Clutch.

[Vc0m]

This time, it was Chika's turn to underestimate her rival. After successfully executing her suplex, Chika would get back up to her feet, unaware of her foe recovering after her slam, as Tiki would successfully tackle the Raven Knight to the ground!

"AAH!"

Within a blink of an eye, the greenette would mount herself on top of Chika's back, trapping her arms, and pulling on her head, stretching the smaller woman's back with a Camel Clutch!

"GAAAAAAAAAGH!!!"

Chika grit her teeth, desperately searching for a way to escape the hold!

[deezcastforms]

Tiki had taken just about every hit there was to take in a wrestling ring over the decades. From the weakest jobber's jab to the signature suplex of a Heavyweight champion. Almost nothing was something she hadn't endured before, so that made her more resilient to enduring damn near everything. And that allow Tiki to come back from hits that her opponent's didn't believe she could.

Now this really wasn't that extreme of a scene for Tiki getting back up, but they couldn't all be a miracle 2.9 pin break. Some of them, like now, were as simple as the veteran be able to counter and reverse momentum much more readily than her opponent thought. It was a reasonable misjudgment on Chika's end, probably every wrestler she'd ever hit with a Deadlift German Suplex was still on the ground right now. And Tiki couldn't count how many times she'd won a match off of her opponent being simply incapable of adjusting to her anomaly.

While Tiki was waxing nostalgic internally, Chika was screaming from the force of the greenette's Camel Clutch. The Raven Knight appeared to still be in the stage of figuring out what to do, rather than physically doing anything that would lead to escaping, so Tiki simply sat back and continued to pull. Applying a consistent pressure until Chika could give the veteran a reason to switch things up.

[Vc0m]

Chika tried to summon movement to her hands to break their entrapment at Tiki's knees...to little success. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't get her arms away from her rival...

Which left only one option for Chika to escape.

Instead of moving her arms away from Tiki, Chika would try to wrap them around her rival's legs, before trying to get her feet underneath herself. From there, Chika tried to summon her strength, trying to lift the veteran up into the air once more, forcing her to piggy-back ride on her back...

...before Chika would swiftly drive the greenette into the ground backfirst by falling onto the canvas to break the hold!

For as much as Tiki had seen, for as much as she thrived on getting her opponents in ways they didn't think possible, Tiki herself was not immune to being surprised in the ring. She was human,. She was not some wrestling supercomputer who knew every variable and condition, and could calculate and act on them accordingly.

Put simply; Tiki was not ready for Chika's counter. "W-woah," she grumbled as the Raven Knight started to get her up. Sure, a Camel Clutch victim standing up with their opponent atop them to counter the move, while rare, was by no means unheard of. But even the veteran had only seen someone do that to somebody in a lower weight class. Chika was doing this while being 45 pounds short of Tiki's total.

Still, Tiki, woman that she was, managed to keep calm despite her surprise. The greenette knew that she couldn't stop Chika from going down, but that she could weaken the landing. Tiki braced her hands against the Lightweight's shoulders to keep her up so that her body wouldn't slam into the veteran's when the landed. However, that would still leave Chika above Tiki with the greenette's legs in her grasp. A much nicer spot for the Raven Knight than she had been dealing with previously.
