Spoiler:

It had been quite a while since Asuka had been in AFW last, she had focused perhaps a bit too much on her modeling career as of late and that had forced her to neglect her job as a wrestler of AFW...though she hadn't neglected her training or workout sessions each and everyday. She had to keep herself fit and ready for when she was planning to come back to AFW. Which was now! Asuka's return to AFW would probably not be met very highly as she wasn't all that famous or grand of a wrestler in the league, nor was she all that well liked. The sympathy she had for being cheated out of a win against Gwendolyn was gone since long and now she was just a pretty face in a league filled with pretty faces.

She didn't waste any time though as she walked out onto the ramp with her music blasting out of the speakers, the crowd gave a lukewarm reception to the model / wrestler who started to jog down the ramp down to the ring which she climbed up into and flicked her hair back a bit, she would walk around the ring and wave lightly to the crowd before heading back into her corner, looking over the handcuffs draped over the corner. This could be interesting...

Spoiler:

It had been awhile since Johanna had made her appearance in the league. Johanna had taken some time off to work on her training. Now Johanna was back to show off her training. Johanna soon heard her music begin to play over the loudspeakers and Johanna made her entrance to a cheering crowd. Johanna made her way down to the ring and she had to say she was a bit nervous as she looked at her beautiful opponent and at the handcuffs around the ring. However, Johanna would take a deep breath to ready herself for the fight to begin.

Now that her opponent was inside the ring Asuka pondered on how to play off this whole situation, should she be friendly and all or just professional ? She would at least try and act courteous in some manner as she would soon enough move up towards her lovely opponent for the evening and offer her a handshake.

"Kotori Asuka." She let out in an official sounding manner as she'd offer that handshake and wait to see if her quite lovely opponent would take her up on the offer, Regardless she would attempt to step back towards the center of the ring after and then wait for the bell.

Johanna was a little surprised when Asuka approached her. Johanna would flash Asuka a smile as she shook her opponents hand. "Johanna Eld." Johanna would say as she was glad for the friendly encounter before the fight. "I hope you are ready for this." Johanna would say before breaking the handshake and backing up. "Let's have a good match."

Johanna would then prepare herself in her corner as she looked at Asuka hoping that this match would go better than some of her other ones.

Asuka shook Johanna's hand and was happy to see that her opponent tonight was someone who was friendly or at least was a bit professional. She had to get over such things as Gwendolyn and make a fresh start for herself...not forgetting though what she was after. The two things she was after that was.

After the handshake Asuka would take a few steps back much like Johanna did. " I'm sure we will. Just be prepared." Asuka let out as she'd give a light wink of her eye, moving her hands up to ready for the match. Within second the bell would ring and the match would start and Asuka would start off by attempting to circle Johanna for a few seconds...before attempting to move forward and try and go for a simple collar and elbow tie up. Trying to start this match up nice and simple.

Johanna would keep watch on Asuka as her opponent circled her. As Asuka moved in for the lock up Johanna would be more than happy to oblige. Johanna would quickly try to assert her strength by pushing against Asuka to gain the upper hand and to show her opponent she meant business. "I hope you are prepared as well." Johanna would say as she would try to show off her strength to Asuka.

Asuka and Johanna soon enough started to lock up and the second they did Asuka started to push against Johanna as much as she could....however she was soon enough left dead in her tracks, there was no way that she was going to be able to push Johanna back and slowly but surely Johanna instead started to push Asuka back. The raven haired girl began to groan and whine as she took a step back, then another...and another.

" Nnhh..." Asuka let out as she was starting to be forced back towards the corner...she had to do something and she figured what. In roughly the last second the young model would attempt to twist them around and use Johanna's momentum against the girl to try and trap her in the corner, shifting their positions as she'd press up against the Swede and push her into the corner.

Johanna was starting to feel pretty good as she pushed Asuka back towards the corner. However, before Johanna could trap Asuka, Asuka managed to reverse their situation. Johanna soon found herself trapped in the corner with Asuka in the better position. "Nice move." Johanna would say before swinging her leg out to try and kick Asuka in her stomach before she could capitalize on Johanna's situation.

Asuka thought she had pulled off a pretty nice move by turning their places around, but the second that she did so and heard those words escape from Johanna's lips, she was about to respond...however before she could do so she took a hard knee right to her stomach. The raven haired wrestler gasped out as a bit of air rushed out from her lungs.

Forced to let go of the hold she would attempt to stagger back a step or two, with one arm protecting her stomach. If she was allowed to do so.

Johanna felt her knee sink into Asuka gut and Johanna knew she had her chance to escape the corner. As Asuka backed away from Johanna, Johanna would push herself off of the turnbuckle to try and slam her arm across Asuka's chest for a clothesline. Johanna knew she had to gain the upperhand early on or else the rest of the match may go down hill for her.
