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

Aphrodite could tell that this wasn't going to likely go anywhere if the two of them smashed into each other again and again. The goddess of love was pushing forward quick and fast, trying to strike her once more after staggering Eliza back, "Not just some pretty face huh you... Errrk!" Aphrodite would taunt before being struck right in the chin, rocking her head back and stumbling her backwards as it was now her turn to be staggered by a strong blow.

"Damn it!" she spoke, holding her chin, opening her up to attack for a few moments as she tried to recover. Aphrodite hadn't been expecting that at all and was paying for being overly cocky. Eliza would be a rather tough foe for her. No amount of ring psychology was going to let her have an easy victory here.

Eliza was feeling just a bit spiteful there, the dancing passion was usually not one to feel like that there but Aisha was just making Eliza feel that way. It had to have been her haughty nature and not the fact that she shacked up with Ryan, what he did there was his own thing sure but....Eliza felt another pang of annoyance at the fact there. She gritted her teeth as she felt that blow connect to Aisha there and it spurred her on to greater things!

"Here!" Eliza yelled as she'd then dash forward and try to grab Aisha there by the shoulders and then lean backward, to try and take the love of the world on a trip around the world. Or rather across the ring with a monkey flip to get Aisha on her back, which in Eliza's mind was likely a natural position.

Being stunned as such, Aphrodite was truly vulnerable, a hand still at her chin as she was grabbed at the shoulders before being flung over with the monkey flip. She'd land on her back, with her legs laying up against the ropes partially, groaning as she had gotten a bit of airtime before slamming back down into the mat below. It had been a shock to her system, expecting to have used Claudia to take out ware out Eliza before she swooped in to take out both of them, but now it was just Eliza and her, a simple one-on-one that she wasn't prepared for yet mentally.

"You'll pay for that..." she grunted with a sneer upon her face, slowly trying to turn over as she shook her head a bit to reorient herself.

Eliza had been intent on trying to fight to win as she was in her usual bouts, the dancing passion however had a bit more pep in her step as she was intent on trying to make Aisha regret stepping in the ring with her there! The dancing passion was sort of glad that Claudia wasn't here, so she could focus on the goddess of love more than anything else with the aristocrat leaping back up there and looking at her handiwork.

"Tch." Eliza would mutter there as she grabbed the ropes behind her, before bursting into a fast sprint there as Aisha tried to recover. Forgoing her usual acrobatics in favour of a rushing forward leaping knee strike aimed at the noggin of her opponent to try and deliver an exclamation point, still the move was as subtle as an ox in a China shop!

Currently, Eliza had the advantage against a rather unprepared for a singles match Aphrodite, whom was just barely keeping up. Sure, she could match the speed and power of Eliza as it seemed, but her mind wasn't there in the game yet, constantly finding herself outsmarted and outplayed every single chance there was. It was really starting to get annoying for the goddess as she turned herself over and used the ropes to stand back up. It was there that she'd see Eliza coming towards her with enough recklessness as a mad bull in a China shop, likely thinking Aphrodite would be easy pickings.

Eliza would find herself wrong as Aphrodite moved forward with her arms, partially sidestepping once she had stood up. It was at that point that she'd grab to the outraised leg, taking some of the hit to her upper chest instead of her head, looking to instead hoist Eliza up quickly to slam her down on the very ropes the blonde had used to stand back up. Aphrodite grimaced, falling backwards down to the mat as she held on.

Eliza was many things there in the ring, explosive, acrobatic and swift. But also she suffered from tunnel vision at times there when going in with her offensive approach in the ring, she was often all or nothing and committed to her approach. When it worked Eliza could take down even folks far taller and stronger than her with her elegant strikes, however against someone who could stop and think like Aisha was about to do? Wellllll............

Aphrodite was like that, all she had to do was assemble a simple noose, then strangle Eliza with it. Because the next thing the dancing passion knew her neck was colliding with the top rope! The British aristocrat would give a loud "Guak!" before then falling down to the mat while clutching her neck while Ryan simply give a loud wince there from the sight......

The plan worked to perfection one might say, even if it was on a pure whim and made up in the last second before Eliza was going to strike her hard and fast. It turned to work out well, slamming the aristocratic foe right on the ropes, slamming her down like it was a guillotine. For Aphrodite, whom was now laying on her back on the mat, this was the perfect time to recover a tad, to plan the next move while her foe wriggled in pain.

"Feeling a bit chocked eh~" Aphrodite mocked with probably one of the corniest and dumbest things she has said. Moving to the downed Eliza to grab her attempt to rope her her arms in a particular position. This would lead to Aphrodite attempting to intertwine her legs with Eliza, lifting her up as went back to laying on the mat. A dread Romero Special or Surf Board hold was about to take place, and Aphrodite could only smile.

Eliza was struggling there, the dancing passion caught off guard by the love of the world's devious tactics there. The British aristocrat was realising that Aisha was going to be playing all sorts of games there against her, call it a mixture of realisation through pain and the realisation that she was now vulnerable to Aisha's whims.....

Case in point the love of the world would grab the dancing passion's prone body there, locking her limbs with hers and then laying flat on her back~ Only this time instead of having the handsome, muscled Paragon above her Aisha was contorting the limbs of the dancing passion this way and that and earning loud, pained yelps from Eliza there as she struggled with the ropes being oh so close yet her limbs were contorted.

Ryan would be kneeling close to the pair of them, checking to see if Eliza was tapping only to get a shake of the head from her there as she writhed. Yet watching this was stirring a sort of sight in the lad, namely that it seemed......spicy to look at it felt,

Aphrodite had the Romero Special locked in well and good, contorting the arms and making sure that every second of the move put upon Eliza was not only painful but embarrassing as well, considering that this was a flashier submission than others, meant more to break wills and catch the eye then something that could be kept ongoing forever if need be. The strength and endurance weren't something she had to spare and so; after keeping it on a for a minute or so more, Aphrodite would push her legs out as far as she could to maximize the pain and spreading the legs for one last time before letting Eliza go, her foe dropping to the wayside so that Aphrodite could stretch out and catch a breath while still on her knees.

Aphrodite would be far from done with her opponent tonight, planning on stretching and twisting the dancer in knots before she was done with them as she would forcibly attempt to mount on top of her and in a rather schoolgirl like fashion, start grabbing the head and smashing it repeatedly into the mat. It was vein and pathetic, but it was also something someone like Aphrodite would do.

Eliza was struggling there already, she'd rarely ever encountered one with cunning like Aisha possessed. She was too used to having her foes be tall, strapping opponents that could easily outmuscle rather than outfight her with trickery. The dancing passion was working on an escape plan there to wrangle out of this escape hold, already trying to feel out an escape possibility in Aisha's submission hold.

Only to then be jarred in her vision as the next thing Eliza knew Aisha had ditched the surfboard in favour of just trying to bash the dancing passion's head against the mat! It was a rather inelegant and jarring shift for both fighters and it made Eliza yelp as her head was attacked there.

Ryan being the ref was diving in there going "I'm warning you Aisha count of five! One! Two! Three!" as Eliza gritted her teeth and tried to get a leg under Aisha in an attempt to kick her off before her noggin was given too much of a flogging!
