Cecilia Northman Vs. Panther Risako - Two out of Three Falls Count Anywhere Match!

The hold was broken but Risako didn't let up, she might have let go of the hold but she was quick to reach down and grab a hold of her long blond hair and yank the Northern Queen up over the middle ropes, she'd lean over it in support as she'd keep trying to recuperate.

When She'd noticed how Risako slipped out of the ring through she knew that it couldn't be good. She'd narrow her eyes as she would wait for Risako to try and come running towards her. Cecilia would try and pull her head free from the ropes and let Risako's leg hit nothing but air. Hoping to instead catch her on unstable footing as she'd try and reach out under the bottom ropes to try and yank the feet out form under Risako and have her fall flat on her back onto the hard edge of the ring!

With Cecilia now draped across the lower rope, Risako slid languidly between the ropes, brushed her hair back, and ran forwards, balanced almost perfectly along the edge of the ring-- as always, she liked to demonstrate poise and elegance even when kicking the crap out of her opponents-- and ran forwards, bringing her leg down on Cecilia for an axe kick--

--only for Cecilia to pull her head back in time. Alarmed, Risako narrowly managed to grab the top rope in time as she swayed, nearly losing her balance. She managed to avoid falling over...that was, until Cecilia yanked her feet hard. Risako gave a startled cry as she lost her balance, tumbling over the edge of the mat and colliding back-first with the ring floor! Groaning, the Queen of Queens slowly sat up, clutching her sore back...

Cecilia managed to pull her head away from the aimed kick of Panther Risako and with it grabbed a hold of her foot before she yanked her down and made her fall flat onto her back onto the floor outside of the ring. A smirk on her face as she did, Cecilia would groan as she was in a fair bit of pain...shaking her head as she would then try and roll out of the ring under the bottom ropes.

Looking to reach drop down next to Risako and grab a handful of that purple hair, looking to pull Risako up towards her feet by that damp hair and then try and lift the head up and then try to drive her forehead first down into the edge of the ring!

Risako's eyes were screwed shut with pain as she lay on the ring floor. Her back was throbbing with pain from where she had fallen, though thankfully, all things considered, she hadn't fallen that hard-- given the degree to which she and Cecilia had been slamming and bludgeoning each other all match, she was lucky that she simply been tripped over onto the edge, instead of being brutally piledriven or suplexed. That didn't make it hurt any less, though.

Cecilia, of course, was doing the exact thing that RIsako would have done in this situation: walking up and grabbing a handful of her hair, yanking her up to her feet. As she wobbled in her boots, she was dragged over towards the edge of the ring. Risako knew what was coming next: as Cecilia moved to ram her head-first into the edge of the ring, Risako would try to bring up one arm to brace herself on the edge and arrest the slam...and use her other arm to drive an elbow, hard, into Cecilia's face to make her let go...

As Cecilia tried to smash the head of Risako against the side of the ring she was instead met with resistance as the purple haired woman was able to stop herself from being hit against the hard edge of the ring. As she would try and yank that head backwards again, but as she did she would then feel that elbow of Risako come smashing into the side of her head.

Knocking her senses for a loop as she would stagger backwards and bring her hand up to protect her already aching skull. Shaking her head as she would try and clear the cobwebs caused by the elbow strike...

That had been close, Risako thought as she pushed herself back up. Her back ached from where she had struck the floor, and had Cecilia managed to get her hands on her again, it most certainly would have been lights out. As it was, Risako was still in this match...but then, so too was Cecilia.

Seeing Cecilia staggering away from her, Risako brushed her hair back and braced herself, before springing forwards. Not wanting to give the Northern Queen a moment to recover, she would launch herself straight at the Swede and nail her with a clothesline while she was still dazed!

Cecilia was in a daze after that elbow strike to her head, she was sure that she had some kind of concussion at this point with the abuse she'd taken to her head over the course of the match. The Queen of Queens went at the Northern Queen as she stood dazed as she was and drove her arm into the chest and neck of the blond. Forcing her Cecilia off of her feet and with it she was thrown down onto her back.

" Guh!" Cecilia gasped out as she impacted on the floor as she was laid out on her back, arms going wide as her impressive bust would heave up and down, gasping and panting as the match was really taking a lot out of her.

A shock ran up Risako's arm as it collided violently with Cecilia's impressive bust, flooring the Northern Queen, and, more importantly, knocking the air from her lungs. For a few seconds, Risako doubled over a little as she stood over the Swede, catching her breath. This match was beginning to take a physical toll on her, and she knew she had to end this quickly. It was time to finish Cecilia off.

Turning back to the ring, Risako began to climb up the top ropes until she was standing atop the corner post. She would glance back to see if Cecilia was still grounded of if she was rising: either way, the Queen of Queens would spring off the turnbuckle and arch backwards in a sunset flip, aiming to come down hard on Cecilia while she was still at the ringside!

Cecilia groaned as she laid on her back, the crowd was cheering wildly still for the two veterans of the squared circle as the fight had gone on for a long time and both of the unmatched titanesses of the squared circle seemed to have worn one another out in this match quite a bit, Panther Risako was taking a few moments to catch her breath and Cecilia was doing the same as she laid on her back.

She started to groan out a bit more and began to try and push herself up towards her feet, her eyes moving after the image of Risako as she climb up the turnbuckle and got to the top ropes. The blond would grit her teeth as she saw Risako come jumping towards her and would try and throw herself out of the way and towards the edge of the ring to avoid whatever Risako had planned for her with that leap off of the top ropes.

As Risako clambered the top rope, she saw Cecilia slowly clambering to her feet. This was fine: even standing, Cecilia would still be hit hard by her sunset flip. Reaching the turnbuckle, Risako managed to perch atop it, like a literal panther about to pounce down on her struggling prey, before launching herself down at the Northern Queen, flipping in midair as she ascended downwards...

...only for the hurting Swede to roll out of the way at the last second. Risako's scream of disbeleif was cut short as she slammed into the padded ringside: her butt took the brunt of the impact, but sharp pain nonetheless lanced up her tailbone and spine, and she shrieked in pain as the impact jolted her up into a sitting position before she collapsed onto her side, clutching her back.

The crowd was roaring in disbelief now: Risako had been dominating this third round, but now, after that botched landing, Cecilia may have just gotten the opening that she needed...
