Momo Yamamoto vs. Ash Daniels

[Dubski]

With effort, Momo had brought Ash Daniels to her feet. And with another idea, she was going to hit her with a simple vertical suplex. However, as the plucky brunette hooked her arm around Ash's head, she got kneed in the midsection, instantly making Yamamoto exhale sharply due to the hit to her already hurt belly!

Momo sucked in a deep breath harshly before she used her last bit of strength to try pushing the redhead away from her. It was a minor effort, but it was about all she could do as she would immediately fall to one knee, holding her stomach still as she winced, hoping she could figure out a way back into this match before Ash could follow up on her strike!

Ashley wasn't aware that Momo was feeling pain in her stomach after that move. In truth, it was a stroke of luck for her that she was looking for whatever seemed most practical for her to go for in her current circumstances, and it just so happened to be a weak spot for Momo. But Ash certainly wasn't one to complain about that. As she watched Momo fall to her knee, the redhead chuckled, shooting her a wink as she pumped a fist in the air in an admittedly self-indulgent celebration. But of course, the match was far from over, and Ash had to capitalize on this moment.

"Ya wanna see more where that came from, huh?" she taunted, already building momentum for her next move. Ash would follow this up by throwing herself against the ropes, catapulting herself forward in the hopes of using the momentum to spin herself around in midair and deliver an enzuigiri to the back of Momo's head!

[Dubski]

Momo stayed on her knee, relieved that Ash didn't seem to immediately go on the offensive. She scowled briefly when she taunted her, even if that was totally fair on her part, and then made a weak retort. "No! I don't!" Yamamoto had even managed to pour adorably before she got up as Daniels bounced off the rope.

The Heart Throb could intercept her and do something to stop Ash Daniels before she got her with another move! She stepped forward and then before she could do anything, she got nailed in the back of the head with a stinging enziguiri! Momo went stiff for a moment before promptly collapsing forward on the mat and holding the back of her head, kicking one foot behind her in pain!

[CaptainL]

Momo's reactions were almost making this too good to be true. It had a special place in Ash's heart when she could mess with her opponents and get an opportunity to have a good laugh at their expense, and this was no exception. She chuckled a little at her foe's growing frustrations, but she also knew she had to make her move. Ashley may have been playful, but she wasn't stupid.

"Tooooo bad!" she called out, jumping up to land her kick to the back of Momo's head. Just as planned, Momo was taken off her feet by the force of the blow, leaving her wide open for the redhead to capitalize! Thinking this would be a strong enough move to end the match here and now, Ashley lunged forward, going to hook Momo's leg and pull it up for a pin attempt!

"One!"

[Dubski]

Momo was struggling on the mat, hoping that Ash wouldn't follow up, and she become concerned when she felt herself being rolled over and pinned. With the redhead on top of her, she heard the referee count one, and Yamamoto would then throw her shoulder up, flopping over onto her front beside Ash.

The cutie put a hand on the back of her head again as she got up to her hands and knees and then shouted, "It'll take more than that...!" shouted Momo boldly, despite her position. She still wasn't in a position to fight back right now, but she hoped that Ash would at least give her an opening to take advantage of her!

[CaptainL]

Ash had gotten Momo's shoulder down for the count of one, and a grin spread over her face as she watched with anticipation. This early on in the match, she knew, Momo still stood a reasonably good chance of escape, and she accepted that. Even if she did kick out, it would mean Momo had the willpower and determination it took to last in the ring, and that would just mean she would be all the more worthy of an opponent!

Sure enough, kicking out was exactly what Momo did, forcing Ash to roll back to get out of the way and face her down. The redhead grinned to her, nodding as she started to pick herself back up to her feet. "Nice one," she said, dusting herself off. "But if you want more...I got more!" Saying this, Ashley charged back in closer, getting behind Momo before she sprung off the ropes to run back up to her from the rear, her arm extended to try and catch Momo by the throat and bring her back down with a bulldog!

[Dubski]

Momo wasn't feeling her best right now. The back of her head was aching as she continued to pick herself up. And as she heard Ash give her taunt in return, she got to her feet. And just as she began to turn around, she got locked right into a headlock and before she knew it, Momo was being driven into the mat with a bulldog! Landing on her cute face and her ample chest, Yamamoto lightly bounced in the mat before immediately clutching her her face.

"Aaahnnnn..." she yelled out quietly, putting a hand to her nose to make sure it was okay. This certainly wasn't helping the pain int he Japanese girl's head as she could only, for right now, push her front up, hand on head, only hoping she could catch a breather from her opponent right now.

[CaptainL]

With swift strides and the momentum of the ropes behind her, Ashley was able to shoot past Momo and spring off the ropes to narrow in on her from behind - and as she drew closer, her grin widened; she saw that she was right in range to strike! Chuckling, Ashley circled her arm around Momo's face and jumped down to a sitting position, bringing the girl down. "Haaaah!" she cheered, largely because her own energy could hardly be contained!

Now with Momo down, Ash knew she had an opening. Not wanting to give her foe the opportunity to make a comeback, she was quick to follow up on the takedown, and she had a move in mind for it. Taking a page out of Kayla's book, she went to grab Momo's legs and pull her own around them to apply a figure four leglock! "Lessee how you get out of this one!"

[Dubski]

Momo was struggling. The cutie had taken a big enough of a hit off the mat that she couldn't immediately react after the bulldog. The brunette began to crawl to her hands and knees when suddenly she felt her leg being pulled, flopping her straight to her face! "Ahhh!"

Then, she was yanked over onto her back and her eyes went wide as she tried to kick with her free leg, only for the effort to be in vain. Momo could see with Ash's movements what she was planning to do and the Japanese girl wildly waved her hands. "Oh, no no no no...!" But then Ash locked it in and fell back, instantly making Yamamoto pop up with a yell, trying to reach for her leg in the Figure Four in a panic! Before falling back and letting out another cry of pain! She had been trapped in the rough submission!

[CaptainL]

Momo might have thought she was getting away, but things were only beginning for her! Ash caught her by the leg as she was pulling away, and with a jerk she was able to force the brunette back - back into Ash's range, for now, she was in prime position to get a hold in place! Grinning, the red-haired girl bent back on Momo's leg, trapping it in her own as she put the pressure onto her legs and back.

"That's right! I got you now..." Ashley said, seeming quite pleased with her efforts. Holding fast to the girl's leg, she arched her back, lifting her hips off the mat to apply further pressure.
