Rosa "Crusher" Cabrera vs Maria Castillo (Debut)

Maria was down on her hands and knees, occasionally reaching for her ribs to try and rub the pain away. Groaning, she felt Rosa snag her in her clutches, deadlifting the vet into the air and parading her body around, despite her comparatively feeble struggles.

What made it worse was Rosa's need to showboat, pressing her a few times with apparent ease, before the support suddenly vanished from under her! Her eyes snapped open as the knee slammed right into her unprotected gut, already bruised from the punishment! The blow momentarily made it impossible for her to breathe, trying to push herself away from Rosa!

Rosa could see that if she could land some hard hits that she could end this! Smiling as she stood up the giant reached down to grab hold of Maria by the throat looking to lift her up high before sending her crashing to the canvas with a big chokeslam! Rosa was out to try to hammer Maria and soften her up enough to set up a big finish hoping to end this match by making a nice statement to the AFW universe as she looked to show how dominant she was capable of being.

Maria tried swatting the hand away, her breath being cut off as fingers curled around her throat to slowly choke the fight out of her. A sharp tug brought the Luchadora up into the air, before her spine was driven hard into the center of the ring with a earth shattering chokeslam!

Maria got airtime on the bounce, flopping about a foot up before she collapsed at Rosa's feet!

Rosa sent Maria crashing down to the mat and loomed over her. It was time to end this. Rosa pulled Maria up and grabbed hold, lifting Maria up high as if for a delayed vertical suplex. Instead, Rosa jumped up and angled her head down, doing her variant of the Steiner Screwdriver (delayed vertical brain buster) to smash Maria to the mat head first with her finisher!

After hammering Maria with her finisher she waste no time in going for the cover while the referee moved in to place to count the pin.

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

Every muscle in Maria's body ached. Despite the fight she put up earlier in the match, it was becoming very clear that trying to match the Crusher in a game of striking power was a foolish choice on her part, and it was one she was paying dearly for. Her hands weakly swiped at the double image of Rosa reaching down, before strong hands clamped around her skull, slowly pulling the veteran to her feet.

The luchadora felt her body getting pulled in with a rough yank, tucking her head under the Crusher's armpit while another snagged a fistful of her tights. With one smooth pull, La Parca was lifted high into the air, staying up there for a good few moments to show off Rosa's strength, before being brought crashing back down to earth!

The veteran's skull cracked hard against the canvas, rendering her body motionless as she flopped on her side. Aside from the occasional twitch of the limb, the was no movement as Rosa rolled her onto her back, hooking up the leg and pinning her flush to the mat. Sliding in, the ref slapped the canvas, but it was purely a formality at this point.

"ONE! TWO! THREE!" she called before the bell clanged out, Maria only just starting to come to as the pin was counted.

Rosa heard the bell ring and she kept Maria pinned down an extra second before standing tall her fists in the air as the crowd booed her. She smiled while she strut around before pulling Maria up by the hair. "This trash doesn't belong in MY ring!" Rosa said as she pulled Maria by the hair yanking her up to her feet before spinning to her side, tossing Maria by the hair clear over the ropes for a hard landing on the outside!

The crowd booed even louder as Rosa grinned, laughing as she posed for the angry fans. She eventually left the ring, happy with how she handled the returning upstart. She was the alpha woman of AFW and this was one more step to proving it to all the right people.
