Katori Kimura vs Kyoko Akan

Kyoko coughed as Katori got off her but had little time to recover as the wrestler lifted her back up to her feet and wrapped around her body trying to set up a German suplex. Acting fast Kyoko would throw in some elbows from behind to try and break the hold before Katori lifted her up.

Unable to do much Kyoko braced herself as she hit the ground and bounced off the mat her back flaring in pain.

While Katori was able to get Kyoko off of the mat and wrap herself around her, it wasn't without difficulty as she was hit with elbows to the head before being able to lift and throw her opponent. She rolled onto her front and got on her knees and rubbed where she was hit as she pushed herself up. "Ow.."

Once she's back on her feet the angel will jog over to her downed opponent and get down next to her, depending on if she's on her front or her back, Katori will do a submission move to further weaken Kyoko. She'll lay her legs across her opponent's chest with her arm between them an pull back on it for the Armbar if on her back, or sit on the back of one of her shoulders then pull back on an arm with it between her legs for a Reverse Armbar if on her front.

Range laid on her back as she tried to alleviate the pain the German suplex caused when Katori came in again for another move. Grabbing her arm she would pull it out wrap it an arm-bar and instantly the pain spread across her hand as she grunted in pain.

Acting fast Kyoko would use her other hand to grab her arm and try to reduce the pain the hold caused. From there she would try to bridge herself back up to her feet and fight out of the hold.

Katori had locked her opponent in the classic Armbar and wrenched on Kyoko's arm the best she could. Having got the naval woman into a good position to take advantage of, the young angel anted to take any chance she can find to put the match in her favor. She was here to win and that's what she's gonna do, while fighting fair and square.

Soon enough though Kyoko starts to try and resist the submission by grabbing her arm and bridging herself up. The arm part, Katori can handle, but with the bridging, it was throwing the angel off balance to properly apply the hold and might throw her off. So, with one last hard pull, Katori will then release Kyoko's arm then roll herself backwards off of her opponent and back onto her feet.

Though she was able to succesfully bridge back to her feet, she didn't get to do anything before Katori kicked her away and regaled the hold. Kyoko backed away and brought a hand to her sore arm, stretching it out to try and alleviate the pain.

Not wanting to take to long Kyoko moved in and ducked low to trick Katori that she was going to go for her legs before coming up and going for a side kick to get back at Katori.

After Katori released the submission hold and rolled back onto her feet, she hopped a little bit to keep her blood flowing and be on alert and ready as she waited for her opponent to push herself back up again. While the angel still wasn't as skilled with submission, but at least better then how she was in her Wrestle Angels days, she still hoped her Armbar was effective.

Seeing Kyoko standing back up, Katori got herself ready to press on only to be surprised to see the woman charging at her instantly for her legs. Immediately the Successor thought to jump back to avoid it, but Kyoko quickly changed her tactic and went for a side kick that hit Katori's abdomen.

"Ughh...!" While the kick did land it's mark and hurt, since the bluenette girl was in the middle of jumping back it didn't do as much damage and Katori remained on her feet. She clutches her stomach with one hand, rubbing it gently, as she holds other up to remain on guard before going on the offense.

The kick hit and Katoir staggered but otherwise stayed on her feet, which suited Kyoko just fine as she still needed to get some more damage down to her before she took her down. 

Moving in as she say Katori's guard was partially down she would attempt to dive her knee into Katori's body to bend her over so she could hook her head and drop her with a ddt.

Katori remained on guard the best she could, hoping to quickly catch her breath from the kick and bring both hands into action to strength her stance before Kyoko pressed her attack on the angel. Her hopes were immediately shattered when the woman dashed in again, Katori tried to bring her other arm back up to block, but was a second too late as her stomach was introduced to Kyoko's knee.

"Oof..!" The impact makes Katori bend over forward instantly by reflex as she clutches her stomach while her cheeks puffed out. But her hands didn't stay on her tummy long when her head was shoved under her opponent's arm, was lifted up and slammed head first with a DDT.

Needless to say it was painful, as the young successor let out a grunt after hitting the mat and clutches her head. She was left wide open and was vulnerable, but if she could Katori will try to roll away from Kyoko and, if she were lucky and able to, slip out under the ropes and out of the ring.

After the successful ddt Kyoko was firmly in control of the match for the first time and aimed to keep it that way. Moving over to prepare for her next move Katori quickly rolled away to try and escape.

Kyoko rushes forward and stomps on her side. "Need to leave so soon? Fine by me." Kyoko says as she harshly kicks her opponent out of the ring before exiting herself, hoping to keep it going there.

While it wasn't her style, even Katori knew it was best to try and retreat while in a bad position, like she was currently while laying on the mat and clutching her head. She rolled away quickly, ignoring the pain in her head as she did, to get distance from Kyoko. But the woman was too quick and caught up to the downed angel and stopped her in her tracks painfully. "Ah..!"

Her rolling came to an abrupt stop as the Successor took the brunt of her opponent's foot on her side, now clutching her side in pain instead. Katori opens an eye and looks up at Kyoko with a pained glare after hearing her taunt before getting kicked again, hard, out of the ring.

"Gah..!!" The rolling continued against her will as Katori was shot out of the ring and lands on top of the padded floor which softened the landing to let the angel land safely. "Ughh... that could have gone better... oww.." At that moment Katori pushed herself to get back onto her feet before Kyoko took chance to attack.

Meanwhile, the ref-girl comes over to the ring's edge and starts the ring out count.

"One...!"
