Jaeger Sisters & Audrey Hunter vs. Marzia Servelli, Astrid Ostberg & Michiko Shimizu - Six Tag Mayhem

[Arjuna]

With her arm locked in the hammerlock, Bethany wasn't having a good time at the moment. Still, she continued her struggle, hoping to free herself from the hold. But it hurt quite a lot the more she struggled, so she needed to calm herself down and think of an alternative on how to escape this hold without hurting herself even further.

So, she would stop her struggling, trying to regain her bearing before she tried to move her leg behind, looking to hook it around Marzia's leg so that she could pull at it with her own leg, hoping that this would at least cause her opponent to lose her balance, allowing her to shake herself free, though she wasn't sure if whether it could work or not.

[CaptainL]

Though she was gripped by the tension, devoting all of her attention to how she had Bethany trapped in place, Marzia could feel the anticipation build as her opponent tried valiantly to free herself but got nowhere. It was working! Her heart pounded faster in her chest, as the moments dragged on longer without any change in tides. Could she win this, she thought to herself?

Alas, Bethany had her own plans to free herself - when trying to brute force her way out of an attempted submission proved impossible, she went to trip Marzia up, and this turned out to be more successful. With a yelp, Marzia tumbled onto her back, upended by the clever maneuver, and her grip slipped from Bethany in the process, letting her free.

[Arjuna]

Bethany managed to trip Marzia up, thus freeing herself from her machination. Grunting, she would stagger away from her opponent, nursing her aching shoulder before turning around in order to look at her opponent. While her opponent was still down, Bethany decided to take advantage of this by closing in, looking to grab the Italian wrestler by her legs before rolling her over onto her stomach.

"H-here goes!" Bethany exclaimed as she would then put herself onto the upper part of Marzia's back, still holding her by her legs as she would try to put her in a Boston crab, bending her body in order to weaken her. With her plump butt nestled against Marzia's upper back, the strawberry-blonde cutie would try to apply pressure as hard as she could in this hold.

[CaptainL]

On the mat, Marzia took in a few deep breaths, trying to refocus her attention as she turned her gaze upwards to rest on Bethany. She tried to pick herself back up - but to no avail, as the blonde swept her up by her ankles, flipping her over onto her front! The momentum taken away from her, Marzia sputtered and coughed with surprise.

She could feel Bethany's attempt to move her legs into place, and right away, Marzia knew what was coming - and sweat began to bead on her brow. She hoped that she might be able to pull herself away before things got a little too hot for her liking, and reached out to drag herself back on the mat. But all that was for naught, as before Marzia could make any headway, Bethany dropped down on top of her and put the pressure on her back with a Boston crab! Feeling the weight on her spine, she dropped onto her stomach, letting out a pained cry.

[Arjuna]

Locking Marzia in the Boston crab, Bethany would make sure to apply pressure in the hold, looking to weaken the Italian girl. But she knew that she wouldn't be able to maintain the hold for long, so after a couple of minutes keeping Marzia in the Boston crab, Bethany would eventually release her from the hold, getting herself up onto her feet before bending down in order to pull Marzia up in preparation for her next move.

Once she was done bringing Marzia back up onto her feet, Bethany would place herself behind her, pressing her ample bust against the Italian wrestler's back as she would then wrap her arms around her waist from behind. Then, with a yell, she would try to throw Marzia over with a German suplex, and she would proceed to go for a bridging pin upon impact!

[CaptainL]

It hurt, all right; there would be no denying that. Trapped as she was in Bethany's cruel embrace, Marzia would soon be feeling the ache coming to her legs and back alike. She grit her teeth, feeling the sweat forming ever-faster on her forehead, and struggled to keep her cool. Just a little longer, she thought, just a little bit longer...

And indeed, it was Marzia's perseverance that would pay off for her - as when she had struggled through the hold long enough, Bethany had to release her, having expended her own reserves in keeping Marzia down! The Italian started to pick herself back up on her knees, trying to crawl away. But she wouldn't have time for that, as Bethany was already on the rebound!

Feeling Bethany's chest graze against her spine, Marzia let out a yelp of surprise, not having anticipated her opponent to make such a swift recovery. The next thing she knew, Bethany had thrown her back with a German suplex, and her head made contact with the surface of the mat! She let out a squeal before she collapsed onto her back, leaving her open for Bethany to attempt the pin.

"One!"

[Arjuna]

Keeping her body bridged, Bethany would keep her hold around Marzia's body, thinking that this should be her chance to walk out of the ring victorious. Keeping Marzia's shoulders pressed against the mat, she maintained her position as the referee continued counting for the pin. She expected that the count wouldn't be interrupted by the other members of the opposing team.

"TWO!"

[CaptainL]

As the counting went on, Marzia could feel the tension build, knowing that any second could mean the end of the match for her. Her breaths quickening and her muscles going stiff, the Italian glanced over at her corner, looking at the rest of her team. So too did they seem to be on the edges of their proverbial seats, not wanting to take their eyes off of Marzia for even a moment. They were leaning in, rapt with attention and watching every move that played out closely. Though they weren't ready to intervene just yet, it was still evident that they were invested as much as any.

And that was how Marzia realized that she couldn't give up now - that would just mean letting down everyone on her side. She couldn't cost them the match, not this early! She had to do it for them, and she prepared herself to act, kicking out with all of her strength. If she could, she would proceed to run back to her corner to tag in Astrid.

[Arjuna]

Bethany was thinking that this would be her win, but much to her surprise, Marzia managed to kick out before the referee could finish her count. Stunned, she had given Marzia enough time to get away from her, and she seemed to be heading towards her corner, seemingly going to tag Astrid in. Knowing that it would be difficult to face someone Astrid's size in her condition, Bethany tried to give chase, hoping that she was able to stop the Italian before she could tag Astrid in. But due to her wasting a few seconds earlier, it seemed that Marzia might be able to make it to her corner and tag in the heavyweight in her team.

[CaptainL]

Marzia was panting hard, trying to move as fast as her weary legs could carry her. She winced with each step, still sore from the pressure that Bethany had put on her spine with the Boston Crab. As she neared the corner, she stumbled a little, but managed to catch herself. Then she glanced back over her shoulder to see Bethany closing in on her, and she felt her heart sink. Was this it?

No, she thought - she had to keep going! She heard her teammates cheering her on, and she felt emboldened by their support. Grinding her teeth, Marzia steeled herself, trying to push onward to close the distance even as Bethany was getting dangerously close. As she closed in on the ropes, the blonde was already close to catching her - but as luck would have it, Marzia managed to reach out and tag Astrid's hand just in time! No sooner had she done so that the Norwegian delivered a punch straight towards Bethany's face, preparing to enter the ring.
