Replay of that. Both back in. Stuka slams Felino and head up, though pauses to look around at the fans a couple of times. This seems like a bad idea - senton con giro miss, Stuka rolls thru. Stuka ducks a clothesline, dropkick to the knee, casita, one two NO. Felino smacks Stuka on the mat, and they both appeal for reaction at the same time. Stuka chops Felino hard into the ropes, but Felino ducks, sets Stuka up, and slaps and chops him hard. Whip, reversed, Felino tossed up and powerbombed down one two NO. Stuka striking first with a slap. Corner whip, Felino sits on the middle buckle. Stuka thinks about this, climbs up to join Felino, punches him a few times, stands on the to rope, and of course his 'rana is turned into the superbomb. Felino bridges over one two three.
Replays, and Felino dances and threatens to strip more. Referee puts a stop to that.
