Marina Tucker vs Renee Michelle

A little pre-match intimidation and a staredown handshake transitions into a cautious opening fingerlock between these two familiar foes. Renee gets forced to her knees before digging deep to take the upper hand, leaving Marina dancing on her tiptoes against the pressure of Renee’s superior leverage. The pair work to earn each other’s respect through a quick exchange of Hammerlocks, Headlocks, and Headscissors. Marina captures the momentum, draining Renee in a bodyscissors. The veteran eventually escapes by grinding her elbows into Marina’s kneecaps and capitalizes by firing kicks into Tucker’s legs. Renee punishes Marina with a tight Cravat and buries knees into her midsection before uncorking a spinning heel kick that flattens the powerhouse. Marina won’t go down easily and soon she’s countering Renee’s assault with a corner splash and running punch to the face that nearly scores a pin! Both wrestlers have plenty of fight left and this one goes down to the wire until a brutal Crossface finally yields a desperate tap out submission right in front of the camera.
