Allen Riley vs. Yamato Nadeshiko - Aerial Warfare

[Arjuna]

Hitting Yamato with the springboard diving splash, Allen could tell that things were going well for her part. Picking herself up, she looked at her opponent still trying to get up, and Allen thought that she needed to keep piling on damage on her opponent. Rising back up on her feet, she would grab onto Yamato, forcing her to get back up on her feet. She needed to ensure that Yamato would be sufficiently weakened before she could go for a finishing touch where she could finally seize the win.

Standing behind Yamato, Allen would then wrap her arms around her waist, clasping her hands together right on her opponent's belly. Locking her opponent up in the rear waist lock, Allen would show her strength by attempting to hoist Yamato up over her head, sending her down into the mat with a picture-perfect German suplex! She might be well-known for her aerial maneuvers, but she also had no problem executing such throws, and upon impact, Allen would release Yamato's body in order to maximize damage.

[winner3]

Despite the desperation and wear and tear that was written all over Riley's face and body language, The Air Raid Siren continued to hang in there! To the point that she managed to take the initiative after connecting with her splash!

"Nrgh!" The Perfect Woman grunted as she managed to rise just in time for Allen Riley to grab her from behind! Yamato's opponent showed off impressive strength and technique this late in the game by clutching out an impressive-looking Release German Suplex! Yamato would fly back a few feet, landing on her head and neck! The momentum would carry her backwards, forcing her to roll back into a seated position in the corner of the ring!

"No....Yaaaaa!" Nadeshiko would cry as she was caught and subsequently thrown! Her screams would come to a half when the back of her head met the bottom turnbuckle! She'd remain there, seated and stunned for a time. After a short while, Yamato would begin reaching for ropes! She'd hope to scratch and claw her way back up to her feet to face Riley once more!

[Arjuna]

Allen's body was already at its limit, though she refused to slow down while she was still on the roll. Throwing Yamato over her head with a release German suplex, Allen would quickly pop back up onto her feet so that she could look at her opponent. She was currently at the corner, a perfect position for her to launch her next attack. Breathing out, Allen would move a few steps backwards, putting some distance between herself and her opponent so that she could deliver her attack.

"OOORAHHH!!"

And after that, she would break into a sprint, picking up her pace before she used her momentum to jump up and deliver a dropkick right at her opponent's body. She would end up landing on her own back, but the dropkick would surely deliver more damage on the Japanese woman if it connected!

[winner3]

Despite being banged up to the point of concern, Riley still had all the momentum in the world going for her right now! Yamato was on her back foot, literally as she pulled herself up to a standing position using the ropes. She could see The Air Raid Siren charging at her with a full head of steam, pushing herself beyond her limits with each step as she dashed. It only took a moment for Nadeshiko to realize what it was she must do!

"Too hasty, Riley-san!" Yamato would sneer as she dropped back down into a seated position, allowing her opponent to hit nothing but corner and turnbuckle with her Running Dropkick!

If Yamato managed to dodge in time and Riley wiped out, she'd push her opponent's body off her person, laying Riley out before the corner. Yamato would rise up and grip the top ropes! In a fluid motion, she'd pull back and jump onto the top turnbuckle perching herself up there and rising slowly, drawing in the crowd as The Perfect Woman prepared to take flight! She's soar majestically through the air as she tried to nail Allen Riley with a Swanton Bomb from the top rope!

"This is the end!!!"

[Arjuna]

Forcing her own body to move despite how painful it felt, Allen ran towards the cornered Yamato in order to hit her with a dropkick. But as she leaped up and brought her feet up to deliver the dropkick, she saw her opponent suddenly dropping down into a seated position, and the Brit ended up hitting the turnbuckle instead. Eyes widening as she missed her target, she flailed her arms as she dropped down onto the seated Yamato before she was pushed off of her.

Unable to regain her bearing, she saw Yamato climbing up the turnbuckle before the Japanese leaped up into the air, soaring in the air before landing right on top of Allen with a Swanton bomb!

"GAAAGGHHH!!!"

Allen cried out as she took her opponent's body as she landed on her. The landing drove the air out of her lungs, and she ended up gasping and wheezing, unable to do anything as she was put in such a precarious position. It was clear that Yamato would surely take advantage of her current situation where she would be able to do anything.

[winner3]

Business picked up for Yamato! Riley's comeback was sublime but it was finally cut short! The audience reacted with a range of emotion as it became apparent that although Riley was hanging in there brilliantly, she was running on little more than fumes at this point!

The Air Raid Siren crashed and burned in the corner! Yamato seized this opportunity and pushed her opponent onto the canvas into position for The Perfect Woman to attempt an aerial move from the top rope! With grace, poise, and precision, Nadeshiko leaped up towards the top turnbuckle! She stood up slowly and gracefully soared through the air, skillfully connecting with a Swanton Bomb! The veteran felt her move connect! She could feel the air escaping Riley's lungs! After landing, Yamato would flip over and hook both of Riley's legs to fold her up into a cradle pin!

The ref would drop down to check Riley's shoulders! Yamato smiled as she was confident this would do it! Members of the audience would count along as the ref's hands slapped the mat!

"ONE...!"

"TWO.....!"

[Arjuna]

Allen wheezed after she took the Swanton bomb from Yamato. It was clear that she was running on fumes at this point, and many believed that she was finished the moment she took the Swanton bomb from her opponent. As she was laid out on the mat, her opponent went for the pin, grabbing both her legs and and folding her up into a cradle pin. The referee came over and started counting for the pin. The crowd became animated as the referee reached the count of two.

"THR-!"

But before the referee could finish the count of three, Allen suddenly bucked her legs, breaking the pin. She would even make sure to get her shoulder off the mat, and the referee saw this and decided that the match would continue. It looked like the British daredevil had nothing left in her even after kicking out, but the match would still continue, and Allen had a determined look on her face despite how weakened she was at the moment. The crowd cheered loudly and wildly, truly invested in the match so far.

[winner3]

Yamato wore a huge smile on her face as she hooked Riley's legs. The arena got antsy with anticipation as the ref started her count! The result was all but decided! And yet against all odds, Riley somehow summoned the willpower and wherewithal to kick out at 2! Yamato was beside herself with shock. She pounded the canvas and looked to the referee. The official confirmed that it was close, probably a 2.999 count. But Riley was still able to kick out before 3!

Yamato's protests further spurred on the crowd! She'd push herself up and look to bend over to grab The Air Raid Siren by the leg! Yamato would look to drag the fallen, hurting rookie towards the center of the ring and step over Riley's leg to prepare to apply a Figure Four Leglock to her opponent in the hopes of getting her to tap!

"If you won't be pinned, please submit! Riley-chan!" Nadeshiko would strongly suggest as she looked to lock in the hold and apply untold amounts of pressure to Allen Riley's left knee!

[Arjuna]

Despite kicking out of the pinfall attempt, Allen was running on fumes at this point. Things didn't look too good for her at the moment as Yamato decided to drag her towards the center of the ring, preparing to put her through some tortuous submission hold. She knew that she couldn't afford to be trapped in the hold, and after hearing Yamato's words, Allen made up her mind.

"S-sorry... I-I don't want to lose!!"

As Yamato was about to lock her into the figure four leglock, Allen would suddenly kick her legs at her opponent, trying to get her opponent to release them. Then, if she was successful, she would try to roll backwards before attempting to spring herself back onto her feet. But she would end up disoriented after getting herself back on her feet, so she would stagger back towards the ropes to steady herself.

[winner3]

Yamato was set to end this thing! She dragged Riley to the center of the ring and called for the end of the match by motioning to the crowd before stepping over Allen's leg to set up the hold. But before she could spin a full 360 degrees, Riley kicked at her Nadeshiko's legs, forcing her forward and undoing the hold!

"Gah!" Yamato would lose her footing and stagger forward several steps before falling face-first into the middle turnbuckle of the ring! The crowd would roar as Riley found her way onto the balls of her feet! Yamato would be stunned in the corner with her arms hooked over the ropes! It would take her time to find herself up to her feet locate her foe!
