Summer Splash 2023: Triple Threat Match: Eliza Harenwood vs Aphrodite vs Claudia Kwon

Ryan was often the sort that didn't question how his path went, but here? Yes, yes he'd be very much doing that thank you very much. He stewed in the locker room of his there, looking himself over in his attire. Dressed as.....well a lifeguard there, with a tight black speedo on and a red thin jacket on. Here he was having to take part in this match as a ref, for if he hadn't done so and if he didn't get a winner done in this well.......He'd have kissed his Nekketsu belt goodbye thanks to the Tension GM getting the match made.......

How it came about was.......well basically Aisha Love Aka Aphrodite had come to the ring, one thing had led to another as Eliza Harenwood, the dancing passion and darling of Tension came out after Aisha had talked of the magical spar and after session back during his heel days. The dancing passion was Ryan's ex and took offence to it, then out came Claudia "The Hellhound" Kwon who was Ryan's alpha female there. The three got into an argument and Ryan would follow out in an attempt to dissuade the situation from exploding.......then the Tension GM smelled profit and made the match for summer splash.....

"..........I'm needing a stiff drink after all this." Ryan muttered to himself as he made to exit the locker room, before long his theme music would blare from the speakers. He stood proudly at least among the cheers and boos but he felt ridiculous dressed as this lifeguard. Still he walked down the ramp and into the ring as he waited for the first person to enter..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well if Ryan was fuming and concerned then Eliza Harenwood was also quite miffed in her own right she'd say, she was never one to turn down a good bout after all but this? This? Well Eliza was in the match now, facing some Greek myth cosplayer who acted like she was forbidden fruit and some mangy mutt that Ryan somehow decided to shack up and.....Eliza let this thought trail cease.

It didn't befit someone of her nature and stature after all, she was more graceful and more skilled in the ring and she would prove it here tonight. The British aristocrat wasn't dressed in her usual regalia but rather in a modest red one-piece swimsuit with a light red see through tutu to homage her dancing background. She had no fans or mask with her, instead she simply took to the waves as it were with this design......

The dancing passion would soon hear her theme song Bailie De Batalla blaring from the speakers, Eliza would perform a modest curtsey to those in attendance. Rather subdued compared to her usual entrances but she figured that she'd save her best moves for when the battle would truly begin, still she gave a warm smile to her ex Ryan there as she slid into the ring with elegance and he returned it as Eliza would then gracefully spin towards her corner and then rest against the corner waiting for her opponents to enter!

It was one of her own little shows that she put on, a spot segment that would allow her to entertain the audience with an interview of another wrestler in Tension or Friction. A Taste of Olympus as it was called, and her guest that night would be the rather fetching and beautiful Eliza Harenwood. Naturally the goddess of Love went into an introduction, catching her fans up since she just recently lost the title, telling the crowd about a rather steamy encounter that she had with another former champion, a certain Paragon of AFW.

What Aphrodite soon would realize that speaking of this wonderful encounter at a gym would bring her into a literal shouting match with her opponent, chest against chest. To be fair though, Aphrodite continued to antagonize her guest, smiling, as she lived for this sort of thing. Though, she wasn't expecting some mangy mutt to come and also join, apparently Ryan's main squeeze, and the reason that he hadn't likely invited the blonde to come over for a little fun, something that she made sure to tell her. Of course, Aphrodite left out that part that she hadn't seen him in a while to multiply the damage, smiling like a mad woman that had just unleashed Hell.

Cut now to a few months later, with multiple encounters backstage, small skirmishes and shouting matches, a match was to be held at Summer Splash pitting all three of them with Ryan presiding over it as a referee. Aphrodite couldn't be more overjoyed as she took every opportunity to reference it, keeping her name on people's tongues and in their minds. Her T-Shirt sales had rose traumatically.

Aphrodite's arrival would be grand, coming to the ring with her typical Greek styled rock theme. However, instead of coming through on foot down the ramp, a specially made clam shell with a bubble machine hidden would have her come down the ring, dressed in a variety of see-through silks that adorned her body, covering over the white bikini that she wore. It matched the color of her toeless socks, elbow and knee pads. It was her show not that she was here, brushing back her long blonde hair as she sifted through the bubbles once it stopped, stepping out to enter the ring proper. She'd turn back, leaning forward and away from the ropes as she stood on the edge of the mat to blow a kiss out to the crowd before getting in.

Eliza would receive a mischievous look from the supposed goddess while Ryan a wink as she brought her hands out to her sides and smiled, striking a pose. Let them gawk, let them see, because here would be another victory. Heck, she didn't even care about bagging Ryan after this potentially. This was all for the glory as she went back to her corner, waiting for Ryan to check her, not that it mattered.

"Don't choke deary," she'd taunt the dancer, "I heard stage fright is a killer."

Ryan was a bundle of thoughts inwardly here, the Paragon was feeling quite conflicted here as Aphrodite made her entrance. And.......damn it was a grand one. The goddess of the ring was certainly one of taste Ryan would admit and he felt his heart stir at the sight before shaking himself loose, he knew that Aisha was certainly one to entice temptation in people. Inwardly he thought after all this he'd need a cold shower and a week off or something like that. Claudia was to make her entrance........

Only........she didn't show. Her music played but no hellhound emerged. That was odd............wasn't like her, eventually a stage hand would get close to the ring and mutter into the Paragon's ear. He would then be informed of something. "Right.......Okay girls Claudia can't make it tonight due to not being medically cleared. Injury from training, we're making this a one on one then." he said aloud looking rather.......unamused.

Eliza raised an eyebrow at this but said nothing in response, no matter. That just meant she'd have to only focus on Aisha then, a bout was a bout after all. The dancing passion would nod to Ryan as he neared her, to pat her down for items. It felt quite surreal actually, the pair of exes meeting here like this again. Even the usually composed Ryan couldn't help but give a little smile to show how proud he'd been of Eliza's progress if his testing of her legs was anything to go by......It made Eliza's heart skip juuuuuust a little. After the pat down Ryan would go towards Aphrodite next.......

"Now.......I want you to be on your best behaviour......" Ryan said, doing his best to hide the blush to his cheeks. Aisha was......okay she was smoking hot as ever, his mind darting back to that night in the gym where their clothes were discarded and hung up on the ropes. The Paragon needed to focus! He'd bite his lower lip as he'd pat down Aisha and make sure she wasn't planning anything funny there........

Aphrodite tapped her foot impatiently. When the music for Claudia came on and no one showed, she was rather miffed that the dog girl wouldn't show up to meet her end to the goddess of love. Though to be fair, it was one less loser that was there she would have to deal with, one more foe that was out of the way for her to no deal with. All she had to do now was to just deal with Eliza, a strong foe that could be rather dangerous if she wasn't careful, but the blonde wasn't going to go easy at all in this match. This was personal.

"O' Ryan, you're too kind~" Aphrodite teased him as she laid back against the turnbuckle, casting an eye towards her opponent on the occasion. She would fake a reaction, a slight squeal, "That feels so good, in front of her no less~"

Yeah Ryan was really thinking she was going to need that stiff drink once all of this was over, the Paragon was going to have to really try to remain impartial and he was about to pat down Aisha there until.....Her words rang in his ears and he found his hands resting on her hips, the curves of which he had seen naked. The lad felt his face go bright red, his one eye widen and he stammered out with "I said behave!"

Damn it Aisha knew how to worm her way into his mind. Still it didn't seem like Aisha was holding anything that might be used to get an edge like powders, Ryan would shuffle away and get himself ready. The bell would ring.......

Eliza meanwhile watched the scene unfold with a twinge of anger in her veins, her eyebrow raised and twitched a bit at the sight. The dancing passion played it cool as best she could, she knew Ryan's character better than arguably Aisha could have having been with him so long ago with that night on the ballroom.

Eliza would enter into her stance, a classic ballet posture with her arms tucked close to her navel and her legs bouncing on the balls of her feet. Then when the bell rang Eliza was at it, rushing out the corner and into a flawless pirouette spin before trying to blast out her right leg into a side kick right at Aphrodite!

In fact, Aphrodite had never even considered the use of cheating in such a manner to bring foreign objects into the mix, not believing that such tools were necessary at all for her impending victory, regardless of if she was to face two or just one opponent. Of course, her winning was nothing more than speculation, and as Ryan moved out of the way of the two after seeing that she had nothing to hide, she would be now facing off against her foe, Eliza.

Off the bat, Eliza was ready, using her agility and strength to come at her in a graceful and impressive manner. She was a ballet dancer, a style of dance that Aphrodite had flunked out of in her youth. Aphrodite's own stance was one like a kickboxer, something she hadn't flunked out of and moved to meet Eliza in the middle, only to have to block the beautifully impacted kick, knocking her back as it connected against her arms. There was power behind this kick.

Eliza was usually able to handle the slings and barbs that came with the wrestling ring, but this time it was feeling just a bit personal after what Aisha had been up to. Granted what she and Ryan............did behind the scenes Eliza would have been fine with that, she moved on but to air it and brag about it was another thing entirely. That irked Eliza a bit, hence why she had a bit of pepper behind her movements. Still Aisha managed to block Eliza's kick there, it seemed there was a bit of skill behind that pompousness after all.

The dancing passion clicked her tongue in annoyance, Eliza was forced to step away from the exchange with grace. Her left foot balanced on the ring canvas by just their balls, while her right leg would pirouette away into a graceful position. Then she got back into her classical stance and would seek to try and press the attack by stepping forward and seeking to fire out three front kicks, alternating between her graceful legs in the hopes of landing a strike or two or at the very least attempting to corner Aisha more.

Aphrodite was facing a kicker, just like her, and for the first time in a while during a match, she'd smile towards her opponent. Having come from a background in kickboxing, the goddess had faced many a foe, but few that seemed trained similar in a way to her as she got back into a proper stance, ready to come at Eliza back with aggression, but not before Eliza herself would strike her a few times, blocking with her legs and arms coming up, but unable to stop one that managed just before to smash into her stomach.

The impact would send a jolt through her body as it hit the gut and left pain in its wake, stumbling back an inch before coming back at the skilled dancer strong. Aphrodite however wasn't a lightweight, being far more endurant than her pretty blonde face let on as she came back with a side kick to try and knock Eliza back.

Well Eliza was certainly more than eager to get rolling in this bout, Aphrodite had earned the dancing passion's ire there and she'd be giving her utmost in ensuring that Aisha was given a right good thumping! Still perhaps the British aristocrat was letting her anger cloud her judgement just a bit there, her blow connected well but Aisha would also turn out to be an accomplished striker in own right and her kick would come in there before Eliza managed to check herself and would be staggered backwards!

"Tch." Eliza gritted her teeth there with a glowering expression, Ryan stood at the side there calling the action down the middle. But even he couldn't help but be awed by their moves there~ The dancing passion would seek to try and continue her offence there by seeking to burst out into a forward flip there and try to lunge into Aphrodite with a leaping right elbow lunge there aimed at her chin!
