Another risky move didn't pay off for Fiona. She didn't let Raven intimidate her, she didn't fight scared, but while that made for a better show for the crowd, it was entirely at Fiona's expense at this point in the match. Again Raven was quicker than Fiona anticipated, and before Fiona knew what was happening she found herself caught in the trap, quickly being crushed by a bearhug submission hold.

Raven had her lifted off the ground from the height advantage, the tips of Fiona's white boots unable to brush the mat, so she wrapped her legs around Raven instead to try to take some pressure off. It was little help. She couldn't cry out due to the instant shortness of breath she suffered, unable to get much air in her lungs as the hold compressed her body. She did have her arms free, enough to start throwing elbows at the side of Raven's head, but it remained to be seen if she could break free before it was too late.

Raven twisted, sending an agonizing jolt through Fiona's body and halting her elbow strikes. There was no tapping out, but if she let this go on much longer, it was going to destroy any stamina she had left, and give the other two wrestlers all the time in the world to leave her behind in the cage.

She managed to collect her focus again and hit hard at Raven's head, three solid strikes that she could feel were disrupting Raven's balance. Elina was stirring too, starting to get back to her feet.

"Think Raven's gotta let go," Brent advised, "Elina's about to reenter this contest!"

That was exactly what she did, releasing the bearhug and shoving hard against Fiona's chest to push her away. Fiona fell to the mat on her back, rolling away towards the ropes where she ended up face down, finally free to take some precious breaths. The aching all through her torso was extreme, the damage from the bearhug something she'd need days to recover from, not the few brief moments she had. [i]Damn it, I'm a wreck... if Elina goes down again, no way I can keep Raven from escaping...[/i]

Raven stumbled a little from the blows to the head Fiona gave her, but still looked ready and able to take on her old CSW rival again.
