Raven read Fiona’s strike attempt like a telegram, shifting to the left just enough for Fiona’s Supergirl punch to breeze harmlessly past her head. Fiona’s momentum carried her right into Raven’s waiting embrace. After stumbling back slightly, Raven secured both arms tightly around Fiona’s midsection. - The bearhug hold snapping shut with crushing force around the younger wrestler. 

“Oh, look at this,” Brent crowed, “Fiona flew right into a waiting bearhug!”

“There are no tapouts in this match but a submission hold is a great way to wear down an opponent and make them unable to press on.” Rhonda added.

Fiona’s arms remained free but the trapped position left her body pinned helplessly against Raven’s frame as the pressure steadily intensified. Raven leaned into the hold with a confident grin, her dark hair falling across her face as she squeezed Fiona like a python. Around the arena, Raven’s supporters were chanting, “Break her! Break her! Break her!”

Raven kept the bearhug clamped securely in place, her powerful grip refusing to loosen even slightly as the struggle continued at center ring. Fiona’s supporters shouted desperately for her to escape, their voices colliding with those of Raven’s. Raven answered the noise from the crowd with a thrusting twist to one side, forcing a visible jolt through Fiona’s body. The sequence had shifted entirely in Raven’s favor, the counter transforming Fiona’s missed attack into a painful display of control and domineering strength. Raven stood tall and immovable while the audience reacted to every second of the prolonged submission, the tension in the arena building with each passing moment. Elina Zamora stirred nearby but just barely so, slowing rolling over onto her stomach and planting her palms on the mat in a push-up position.

“Fiona has got to get out of this hold fast,” Dan Rich struggled to be heard over the crowd, “if she doesn’t Raven is going to ragdoll her and most likely make another move to escape the cage.”

“And unless Elina hurries up and gets back in the action this may be it for the dynamic duo of tonight.”
