Belinda Northman Vs. Katori Kimura

Belinda was looking to be in a good situation right now, after that elbow drop things were looking up for her. Though she wondered how long it would be before the blue haired girl managed to find a way to fight her way back and get the advantage. If she wanted to prevent that then she would have to try and keep the momentum and keep it she would!

The Swede moved up on top of Katori, seating herself on the girl's back as she started to see how the young woman was trying to crawl towards the ropes and keep her arms out of reach, then suddenly she threw that backwards in order to hit the blond, smacking against her bare thigh Belinda let out an annoyed wince. 

The blond would quickly try and slap her hands down hard onto Katori's back, trying to make the woman recoil in pain so that she could try and grab at those wrists and lock in her straight jacket submission hold in order to try weaken Katori Kimura!

Katori was in a terrible position with impending doom sitting on her butt as she was at the mercy of her opponent, Belinda Northman. The second she felt the blonde babe take a seat on her the angel desperately did whatever she could to try and get her off her and escape, knowing full well that a Camel Clutch or a variant of one was coming, and Katori did NOT want to be in it!

The young Wrestle Angel did all she could, from keeping her arms out of reach, to attempting to crawl from under the Swede, and throwing fists back at her to distract and weaken her, while shaking side to side to ultimately knock her off. But Belinda was tenacious, Katori endured and resisted all she could but to no avail, and then the girl felt the small of her partially bare back being slapped hard. "Ahh!!" Katori let out as her head and shoulders shot up and arms recoiled back, giving Belinda the chance she needed to grab them.

And thus, begins the tortuous pain. With her wrists grabbed, Katori helplessly watches as they're pulled to opposite sides around her neck and are then pulled back by Belinda, being put into the painful Straight Jacket submission hold! "A-aaaahhhhh..!!" Katori let out as the pain in her back, arms, and neck builds up from the pressure, letting out slight gasps in between her moans and grunts.

Still though, Katori cannot stay in this hold, she has to break out somehow. With her legs, which were initially kicking about, the Successor will attempt to bring them up to her sides and push hard against the mat with em to force herself and Belinda forward towards the ropes as best as she could, while it may be a slow attempt at best.

Belinda had managed to take the top position on top of the lovely young successor, sitting on the blue haired girl's back and with it she was taking care of things. Having locked up those arms around that neck and locked in a very effective Straight Jacket submission hold which nearly instantly got the young fighter to cry out in pain. 

It was a painful hold that rendered most of the struggles that Katori could come up with mute. She watched for a moment or two and listened to those feet tapping against the mat. The referee moved up next to them and would ask Katori if she wanted to give up, but it looked as if the Mighty Successor had no desire to do so. 

Soon, Katori even started to find a way to fight out of this hold. She began to push and slide them towards the ropes. It might have taken a whole lot of power, because of Belinda's weight being down on her center of gravity but it seemed as if the former Wrestle Angel was as tenacious as the young Northman, Belinda would girt her teeth a little. " You're quite tough, but how about this!" Belinda let out as she would lean backwards even more, trying to put more of a crank on the hold and put more pressure on those arms around that neck, tightening the nekc hold and then bend to that spine!

Katori was stuck in quite possibly the most painful Camel Clutch variant submission hold she's ever been, she fought through the pain and remained strong the best she could as Belinda pulled back on her arms. On top of being a bit difficult to breath the angel's body was just burning from the pressure, but it certainly isn't enough to keep this girl down, at least just yet.

Despite her bad position and all the torture it did, the Mighty Successor did her absolute best to use her legs to force themselves to crawl toward the ropes. Katori couldn't stay in this hold anymore, no way in hell she'll tap to this but the more she stays in this the chances of her beating the beautiful Belinda dwindle. No matter what, Katori's desire to win and surpass her teacher kept her going and helped her endure despite her moaning and grunts in the submission.

But it seems the blonde babe didn't like the angel was as tenacious as her, as Katori hears what her opponent says as her eyes widen when she feels her arms being pulled back even more with her upperbody bending further back! "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Katori cried out even louder in pain as her upper body flared badly while her crawling attempts haulted, she had to get out NOW!

After a few seconds with her quick thinking, Katori will try something completely desperate, as it was now or never. With all she has, the angel will pull her legs up forward to try and get them underneath her then push against the mat to raise herself and Belinda up. From there, if possible, Katori will keep pushing as she'll attempt to get back onto her feet while Belinda's still holding onto her and if she succeeds in standing back up, the Mighty Successor will lean forward a bit before throwing herself backwards to sandwich slam her opponent hard into the mat back first with her on top of her!

Belinda kept the straight jacket camel clutch hold going, she had taken to leaning backwards more and more as she had that upper body of Katori almost vertical now, and with those arms currently trapped, Belinda was fairly sure that she had the Mighty Successor where she wanted her, though it looked as if Katori had other plans than to stay trapped in this hold until she was ready to tap out.

Gritting her teeth a bit as the woman started to rise up towards her feet, the blue haired fighter fighting her way to a stand little by little and then suddenly as she reached that stand, Belinda was caught by surprise as she felt the sudden rush of air against the back of her neck.

Being forced backwards and off of her feet by the back of Katori crashing into her front and the weight of the Mighty Successor along with her own pulling on that frame taking her off of her feet and sending the blond superstar down onto her back, on the mat with Katori's weight crashing on top of her. " Uuugh!" Belinda cried out in pain as she had the Mighty Successor on top of her now, and her hold on those wrists were lost.

After a hard fight in such a painful situation, Katori was able to break out of the Straight Jacket submission by turning Belinda's own momentum against her by forcing herself up to her feet and than slamming backwards down on top of her. Once the angel felt the grip on her wrists was gone she pulled them away from her neck and gasped as she sat up and rubbed one of her arms and her back at once to sooth them. That entire thing brought back bad memories from Wrestle Angels, ones Katori hoped won't be repeated here in AFW, and thankfully right now they didn't.

But there wasn't enough time to just sit and rest, the Blonde Beauty underneath her is stunned and down for a count! Katori needed to use this chance to get back in the game and turn the match into her favor. So with the motivation and adrenaline pumping her to move, the Mighty Successor stood back up and ran towards the ropes at Belinda's side then bounced back off them.

On the way back, Katori leaped up over Belinda and brought her feet down to do a quick double stomp on her abdomen while using the momentum to keep moving. With certainty that the stomp kept her opponent down, the young Successor will jump up onto the top rope and then kick off it to launch herself up in the air, flipping backwards before dropping down on top of Belinda with a Lionsault!

After landing the aerial move, Katori will quickly reach for one of the young Northman's fine legs to grab and hook while pressing her body on top Belinda's chest with a hand down on her shoulder, going for a solid pin attempt as the ref-girl comes down to count!

"One...!"

Belinda was currently a bit stunned after having been taken down onto her back by Katori and now it looked as if the Mighty Successor was looking to gain the momentum, and this time the Swede wouldn't have much to say about it. As Katori ran off towards the ropes, soon enough come back and jumping up, stomping both of her feet down into the well trained abs of the Swede, causing her to gasp out in pain as air rushed out from her lungs. " Uuugh!"

It didn't take long before Katori moved off but it was only for a second or two until the mighty successor had run towards the ropes as she would then come down with that lionsault right on Belinda's midsection, the Swede bucking a little underneath Katori but not enough to dislodge the turquoise haired fighter.

Who then quickly hooked her leg and trapped the Swede in a standard pin. The blond would hear the referee start their count as she coughed out a little but underneath Katori.

"Two!.." The referee counted again, but after the two count, Belinda's body would buck up, trying to break the pin attempt and shove Katori off of her.

Katori managed to finally turn things around into her favor against Belinda after being on the receiving end of a brutal onslaught of moves. She planned to keep it that way as much as possible. After countering an extremely painful submission, the Mighty Successor used that small opening to successfully crash on top of the young Swede with a Lionsault, followed by a pin attempt. While early, it was also to see where she stood currently if this doesn't give Katori the win.

"One...!"

"Two...!!"

The ref-girl counted, only to stop once Belinda successfully broke the pin by bucking herself up hard and shove Katori off her. It was frustrating, but at least the young blunette was making a difference with the blonde babe right now. Having landing right next to her opponent, Katori decided to try and make things even between her and Belinda after what she did earlier, and hopefully one up on her as well later on.

In a quick and swift motion, Katori will spin herself around so she was laying on her back horizontally from Belinda. From there she will drop her legs on top of the blonde's chest with her arm between her legs as the young angel grabs onto said arm as she proceeds to pull it back with all she has while also pushing her legs down onto Belinda's chest, putting her in a classic Armbar submission hold!

Belinda had just managed to kick her way free from a potential defeat at the hands of the skilled former Wrestle Angel, she would try and take a moment to catch her breath...the only down side was that she wasn't about to be given a moment to catch her breath...

As Katori was quick to get right on top of her, dropping her legs down over Belinda's chest and getting a grunt out of the Swede. Who then felt her arm being grabbed firmly! Then she felt the pulling and the hyper-extending of her arm.

The Shooting Stars legs started to kick down against the canvas as her free arm would start to try and reach around and aim to grab at her own arm in some desperate attempt to try and pull it back to herself, as the pain started to shoot through her limb!
