Theodora Simmons vs. Haruka Le Roux - Apex Qualifier Match

[Taskmaster12]

Briefly catching the ropes made Theodora rethink her strategy and eventually let go of Haruka’s head and push against her instead. She could tell she was trying to grab and bring her into a position that was more favorable so that she could maintain control. So to stop this Haruka would push into Theodora with a quick burst to try and combat her efforts and the would pull her arms around her hips to quickly lift and slam her before she tried anything.

Pushing against Haruka, Theodora tried to come up with a move, but then, Haruka went on to wrap her arms around her hips before she lifted her up and slammed her down onto the mat. "Nghh!!" She winced as she hit the canvas. Still, she wouldn't allow herself to be left vulnerable before her opponent as she would roll onto her knees.

Grimacing slightly, Theodora would push herself up. For the time being, she was in a defensive position, and there wasn't much she could do if Haruka decided to continue with her onslaught.
