Debut match Rio Banks vs Kanga (Complete)

After watching Kanga run into the turnbuckle, Rio prepared for her next attack by taking a few steps back. Rio then ran toward Kanga and did a roundoff into two back handsprings. After the second flip she had her elbow out which would be aimed for Kanga's upper body.

Though in pain, Kanga would still watch Rio as she was making her move. She was quite impressed to see that her opponent also possessed some acrobatic skills, so it was no mistake that these two would be paired up together for this fight. After a roundup and two back handsprings, Rio would go in for an elbow strike to the upper body and the impact would be great.

"AAAUGH! Bloody hell!" Kanga cried out in pain as her chest area got hit by Rio's elbow. This made her slump against the ropes more and take deep breaths, but she hopes to regain her strength to still fight.

Hearing Kanga cry out and feeling her elbow hit her, Rio knew she hit mark. Rio saw that Kanga was slumped against the ropes and went to pick her up. Going for her waist Rio would try to lift Kanga up and force her to sit on the top of the turnbuckle.

If she could get her opponent on the turnbuckle she would then climb onto the second rope attempt to pull off a belly to belly suplex.

Kanga groaned as she was grabbed by Rio again, this time by the waist to be hoisted up. She was soon sitting on top of the turnbuckle and her opponent was climbing up to the second rope to meet at around her body level. Then, Rio would lift up Kanga and slam her down onto the mat from the turnbuckle with the belly to belly suplex. Given that it was a longer way down, the impact would be greater than a regular suplex, so Kanga cried out loudly in pain.

But as she was on her back, she would moan out, "Ugh.....no...not done yet..." she would try to crawl away to the nearest ropes in order to pull herself back up.

After landing with her belly to belly suplex, Rio released Kanga and rolled over to see her crawling toward the ropes. Knowing that if Kanga reached the ropes the ref would most likely keep Rio away for a moment or two which would give Kanga some breathing space.

"I'm afraid I will to try and stop you." Rio quickly walked behind Kanga and reach for her ankles and pull her back to the center of the ring if she would let her. If Rio managed to hold her that long she would then attempt to apply an STF to Kanga and try to get her to tap.

Kanga was still crawling to try and reach the ropes until Rio suddenly grabbed her by the ankles. She got dragged back to the center of the ring and felt her opponent trapping her legs together before being pulled up by the chin in the STF. "NNNGH!!!" Kanga moaned out as she felt pressure in mainly her neck and legs.

But Kanga didn't want to give in, she had to try and get out. So, she would attempt to take in the pain and crawl her way to the ropes using her arms and upper body. If she can reach it, hopefully it will break the hold.

Rio held her grip after locking in her STF and pulled Kanga's head back. She noticed that Kanga was starting to crawl her way toward the ropes and Rio wrenched Kanga's head back as hard she could until the last moment.

When Kanga reached the ropes, Rio released her before the ref told her to do so. Taking a few steps back Rio got into her stance for Gae Bolg. Since she was actually in her stance this time if she connected the blow would have its maximum potential damage.

Kanga would be relieved to once again escape the submission, but Rio is doing a good job working her body up. Panting, she used the ropes to ride back up slowly until she is on her own two feet if not standing upright. She turned her head to glance over to Rio and saw that she was in that same stance as earlier. Kanga didn't know why she used it so much, but something tells her she has to watch out.

Kanga put up her arms up again in her fighting stance and refocused her sights on Rio, aware of her possible attack. She would start moving forward and get closer in hopes of being prepared to strike or for any strike coming her way for that matter. Once close enough, she would try for a single jab to the face before a high kick to knock Rio upward. But if Rio does her move first, it could come out of nowhere and hit her hard.

Rio was fully prepared for Kanga as she was getting to her feet. She watched her use the ropes to stand up and Rio calmly breathed deep as she prepared to use her move as soon as Kanga would move away from the ropes.

There wasn't too much space between them and Rio gauged it at about five steps. Rio launched herself forward and lead with the right side of her body. Seeing Kanga advance toward her, Rio had to launch her move a bit earlier than expected, but Rio never expected for Kanga to just stand still for this. With about a step and a half between them Rio shifted her stance so that she lead her advance with her left side. Hoping that the shifted stance confused her opponent near the end was enough, Rio threw her Gae Bolg with her opposite hand and aimed for Kanga's heart.

Kanga had no idea what was coming to her as Rio shifted her stance. She wanted to attack, but her opponent headed over to face Kanga's left side, which made her confused. And without notice, Rio went for her Gae Bolg strike and it simply made her mark.

"AAAUGH!!!" Kanga cried out as that punch literally close to the heart and left her quite surprised. Her hands immediately held onto that area of her body as she staggered back and fell on one knee. The audience would fall silent and be in shock of this as they kept watching. She would try to breathe calmly to check and see if her heart is still okay because if that hit did serious damage then the match would be stopped right away. Kanga at this point wishes that there was a way to reassure her that it's not as critical or deadly as she has seen in the movies.
