Juri Sanada (Miyabi) vs Belinda Northman

It was now Juri that was struggling to cope up with the submission hold that Belinda had her trapped in. Juri felt her back really aching but she had the grit to persevere and get through this. After all, Misaki had put her in this submission a couple of times before too. After doing her best to crawl forward and tug on Belinda's ankle, Juri was so close to the ring ropes.

Just before that, Belinda would release one leg and change the submission into a half crab, focusing on one leg only but putting all the pressure on said leg which made Juri scream out loud. With one desperate leap forward, Juri would latch onto the bottom ring rope and claim for a rope break.

The single crab was really painful and Juri felt her hips really being stretched to the max. However, the Miyabi champion was more resilient than most women in the business and she could take punishment as well as she could dish it out. "Nrh, gah! Y-you're going to have to do better than that" she grimaced in pain, with her left eye shut tight.

Finally, she grabbed the ring ropes which earned her a rope break. Belinda, being the baby face she was, released her opponent immediately and backed up which made Juri chuckled, if it was her she would have held on. To play her mind games a bit more, Juri would slip out of the ring and hop onto the floor. Taking her sweet time to recover and in the process had hoped to frustrated Belinda enough to maybe force her out and make a mistake.

Recuperating from the Boston Crab submission, Juri would slide herself out of the ring and hop on the outside floor of the arena. She was going to take her sweet time to recover, not that she was in a lot of pain at the moment or was totally exhausted but she just wanted to annoy and frustrated Belinda, wanting to break her momentum down and slow the pace of the match. That and she hoped the eager blonde would make a mistake and follow her on the outside herself.

It seemed Belinda was smarted than Juri thought and would remain in the middle of the ring. She struck a confident pose and would tease her but Juri knew better than to fall for that. The raven haired wrestler smirked back at the blonde from the outside "Oh my, do you really expect me to fall for that? Its not about cowardice my dear Belinda but strategy. Know when to back out and strike at the right moment" she said in a rather seductive tone.

Juri would then hop up on the ring apron where the referee was, making sure to stand behind her in case Belinda did anything funny and finally she made her way back into the ring. Once again, Juri raised her arms and began to circle the blonde.

"Haha! The fa- the fans? Oh my god you truly are a rookie aren't you. I certainly don't care about the AFW fans, they can go suck it for all I care. All I care about is winning and proving that Miyabi s the best promotion around." Juri would rant out at Belinda's response.

Judging by Belinda's previous feign in, Juri would expect Belinda not going for a lock up again this time. The two would get close enough and this time Juri was ready for Belinda's tricks. The blonde would strike her fist towards Juri but the Black Widow would side step the outstretched arm and would grab it, before twisting at the hip and tossing Belinda down on her back in a armdrag maneuver.

Juri would still hold that arm before dropping down to the side of Belinda, wrapping her legs around the captured arm and pulling it away from Belinda's shoulder in a armbar submission.

The ever cautious Juri would not be prone in making the same mistake twice. She fell for the feign grapple the first time but she was not going to fall for it again. Expecting some sort of shenanigans from the blonde, Juri would grab onto Belinda's arm that tried to punch her and would use that momentum against the blonde in taking her down in armdrag.

That was just the start, she would keep a hold of said arm before dropping down on her back across Belinda and trap it in a nasty armbar submission. Juri would yank that arm away from Belinda's shoulder while squeezing her legs around it as tightly as she could.

"Mmm still have some fight left in you eh? Hah, you are a stubborn one aren't you?" Juri would say coldly. Belinda would jerk around and try to reach for the ropes but Juri was only focusing on torturing that arm. Even if Belinda managed to get to the ropes for a break, Juri was hoping the damage would be done.
