Akiha vs. Traci: Strap Match Round 2

Akiha was dragged along and soon hit the metal stairs, it was a painful blow and it could be argued to be an illegal blow as a foreign object was used though that was a call for the referee who seemed to not to call it. If she did it would have been a controversial one. Akiha would clutch her chest as it had already taken a bit of a beating. She would then watch as she was making her way to the barricades, though this time she was ready and grab onto the barricades with her hands, stopping the impact. She would then attempt to pull back in hopes of not only stopping Traci but sending her down to the ground.

Things almost went as planned, at least until Akiha managed to catch herself against the barricade. While prepared to be pulled forward, she wasn't expecting that level of resistance. With a yelp of surprise, Traci tripped up and fell to the arena floor flat on her belly, briefly stunned.

It seemed that Akiha plan had work, not only did she stop her opponent dead in her tracks but she also managed to bring Traci down to the ground as well. She would now use this time in an attempt to free herself from the strap, trying to untie so that she could get to her free and start to fight the match in proper form. If she couldn't escape from the straps then she probably be stuck on defense for a bit longer.

By the time Traci got her bearings and was back on her feet, Akiha was nearly free from the strap around her legs. Ultimately it didn't matter too much, though, as it still gave Traci enough time to rush forward and grab the Japanese woman by the hair.

They had been outside of the ring a significant amount of time by then, and the ref definitely wasn't taking his time with the countout. Rather than risk things, and wanting to beat Akiha properly so she could gloat about it, Traci dragged her foe along back towards the ring, attempting to toss her in under the ropes and slide in after her.

Akiha had managed to get her feet free from the straps and now she could fight back. Yet just as she got her feet freed, she would find her hair being pulled, forcing her back up to her feet. The raven hair wrestler was then thrown into the ring. She was still having a bit of a hard time breathing and getting oxygen into her lungs due to all the abuse she had taken. The Japanese wrestler would take a second to inhale before attempting to get back on her knees and arms.

Sliding her way back up onto the apron, Traci quickly hopped to her feet. It seemed Akiha was a bit slow on the recovery, so the green-haired woman thought it a good chance for some revenge. Coming up behind the Japanese wrestler, she attempted to loop the strap around her neck and pull it tight, returning the choke from earlier and putting her foot to Akiha's back to amp up the pressure.

The Japanese wrestler began to get back on her feet, still exhausted and hurting from everything going on. Yet things went from bad to worse when she suddenly felt the strap go around her neck, cutting her oxygen supply. Akiha face would start to go red as she would attempt to pull the strap, trying to break free and get some oxygen back into her lungs. Though having the foot on her back was making it pretty hard to escape and really adding onto the pressure.

Traci continued to pull on the strap, choking Akiha, while not making the same mistake as her and staying out of arm's reach using her leg. Of course, putting her bitter enemy out like this wasn't going to be very fun, but at the very least she wanted to weaken the girl so she would be nice and submissive.

"Do tell me if the collar's a little too tight~" Traci taunted, giving the strap a firm tug as she did.

The Japanese wrestler was now struggling for oxygen and if she didn't do something soon she would be passing out. The tug cause Akiha face to go a bit redder. She paid little attention to Traci words, right now to focus on trying to get out of the hold. Pulling forward was not helping so instead Akiha would attempt to use her feet and push backwards, trying to send herself towards Traci in hopes of making her lose her balance. Hopefully, it would also send her right into the turnbuckle and finally getting her to release the hold.

Once more, Traci seemed to have gotten a little ahead of herself, caught off-guard as Akiha suddenly pushed herself backwards. With a cry of surprise, the American was knocked off balance, stumbling backwards before crashing into the turnbuckle behind her and letting go of the strap.
