Cage Match: Akiha Kosha vs Belinda Northman

Akiha would attempt to get some oxygen back into her body as she continued to hold her neck. Though whatever progress she made on getting oxygen back into her body was quickly reversed as she was hit by an elbow drop from her archrival. The attack caused her legs and head to shot up before falling down. Once again she would try to gasp for air, while still trying to remain calm and think clearly on a way to turn the match around.

Suddenly she would feel her arm being pulled as both of Belinda's legs went over her chest. She had been placed in an armbar submission hold. Dammit, this match was starting to go south quickly. Being a cage match meant that she could not get a rope break. Still, the crimson hair wrestler would try her best to start to drag herself towards the ropes.

Belinda managed to get a good solid hold of Akiha's arm and when she started to bend that arm over her own frame and hyper-extend that limb in this nasty armbar. Being a bit bigger and stronger than her rival sure did help her quite a lot in keeping Akiha firmly locked in like this.

She would feel how her arch rival started to try and drag and pull the towards the cage walls and the ropes. Perhaps she was trying to go for a rope break...while there wasn't really such a thing in this match, Belinda did often want to keep things fair...still. If she would release her secret lover if she got to the ropes would mean a break or not, was something Belinda would have to decide if it happened. She couldn't win by a submission anyways.

Akiha was dragging herself closer and closer to the ropes but it was taking time and energy, something that she could not afford to lose right now in this match. The pain in her arm was starting to get unbearable, though she refused to tap but the longer this went on the worse her arm would be. It was time for her to use her trusted old tactics. Using her free arm, she would try to dig her nails into Belinda, hoping the sudden pain would cause the Swedish wrestler to let her go.

Belinda held her hold as tightly as she could, trying to force Akiha through a great ordeal of pain as she continued to torture that arm of her arch-rival. She would feel Akiha struggle and try and break free but it wouldn't be that easy for the redhead. She noticed how Akiha was pulling herself towards the ropes, but in a match like this there wasn't anything such a ropebreak.

There wasn't even anything like a submission, but Belinda didn't care. This was all in order to weaken and put a hurt to her rival. Though Akiha seemed to have a plan as she dug her nails right into Belinda's thighs, harshly so, causing the blond to yelp out, releasing the hold as Akiha raked across her bare thigh, she moved away from Akiha and would pat and tend to the are Akiha just scratched. She knew there was no DQ or anything in this match and she knew that she could expect more things like that from Akiha.

Akiha dug her nails deep into Belinda, it had been a trick she had done over and over again on her opponents when they put her in a submission hold and she had done it several times versus Belinda as well. She was a bit surprised that it still worked, she honestly had expected her opponent to have had ready herself for such a tactic but she was not going to really complain about it much.

The crimson hair wrestler would get back to her feet, her arm hurting from the submission hold that she had just escaped from. She would then look at her arch-rival, Belinda and see her looking at the wounds Akiha had inflicted. "You still fall for the same tricks, I had expected you to have gotten used to such a tactic and to be prepared for it." stated Akiha with a smirk on her face as she then got into a grappling position.

Belinda would throw a glare towards Akiha as she watched that smirk and saw her get back into that grappling stance, rising up to her feet she would ready her own arms and get into a grappling stance of her own. Inching her way forward, " Gotta give you a fighting chance at least. Don't I?" Belinda teased as she would move forward, inching forward as if she was going to go for a standard lock up.

However in the final moment when the two of them got close, Belinda would try and do something unconventional between them. Being one who typically was on the receiving end of this, she would try and throw her leg up and sent a front kick into Akiha's gut, trying to stun her rival and leave her bereft of breath. If it worked she would try and take a hold of Akiha's head and grab at that tight white outfit of hers, trying to haul Akiha up into the air and throw her back down with a standard Vertical suplex!

Akiha would give Belinda a smirk as the two of them got into a grappling stance. "You're not fooling anyone. If you had the chance you would crush me like a bug. Come on, that is why the two of us are such great rivals, we always throw everything we have at each other without holding back." stated Akiha in response to Belinda's comments. Just like her arch-rival, she would also move forward and attempt to go for the standard grappling lock.

Once the two of them locked up, the crimson hair wrestler was getting ready to act, though suddenly she would be hit in the gut, causing her to gasp out. It seemed her rival decided to use Akiha's own trick against her. Before she knew it, the Japanese wrestler would be lifted up and then thrown into the air before crashing down into the ground with a suplex. Her eyes going wide as she got hit before forming an arch in response to the pain she was feeling.

Belinda would nod her head as she moved in closer to her rival and was ready to grapple with her. " Oh but I will have the chance, and I will crush you like a bug Akiha! So I'll throw everything at you and see if you can handle it!" Belinda said as she stepped in close, the two of them ready to grapple.

However, it was Belinda who decided to act before Akiha. She was sick of Akiha getting the drop on her and threw her knee up into Akiha's midsection! Causing her to be stunned as Belinda then slammed her rival down with that mighty suplex! Kipping up after the suplex, Belinda got to her feet and would quickly move in next to Akiha. Grabbing a handful of that red hair, Belinda would try and yank Akiha up to her feet.

She'd try and slip one arm in between those legs and then the other over those shoulders, trying to lift Akiha up and tip her upside down! Trying to then throw her straight down onto the canvas for a bodyslam!

Well, it seemed her rival was still as confident as ever, if anything she was a bit too overconfident, this just made Akiha want to win more. "Then go ahead and throw everything at me. I will take everything you have and throw it right back at you two folds." stated Akiha in a confident tone.

Being on the receiving end of her own tricks was annoying. Still, she was not going to let that stop her, it was going to take a lot more than that to put her down. Though it seemed that Belinda was going to bring that more, by pulling onto her hair and attempting to lift her up. The crimson hair wrestler at the moment didn't have much of a response at the moment aside from kicking her legs a bit in a vain attempt to escape. The kicking would soon stop as her body then hit the canvas, as she would just lay there taking deep breathes in.

Guiding and pulling Akiha up to her feet before she scooped her up and hauled her into the air, holding the redheaded crusader upside down and ready for a heavy impact. She would then throw her weight forward and slam Akiha down, hitting her with that Bodyslam!

The crowd groaning out at the sight of Akiha's body bouncing against the canvas as Belinda would raise her arm up into the air, rallying the crowd behind her as she would then try and step to the side of Akiha, keeping her arm up, Belinda would then try and drop down and sought to slam her elbow down into Akiha's chest with a standing elbow drop!
