Yuki Onna vs. Katori Kimura

Yuki continued going onward, resisting the hold even as her endurance was starting to run out. But then, Katori suddenly let go of her chin, which caught her off-guard a little. But she was still on her back, making her advance towards the ropes rather difficult even if she didn't subject her to the camel clutch anymore.

But, that didn't mean Yuki was free. Far from it, actually. After Katori let go of her clutch, she then went to grab her head again, this time putting her in a sleeper hold. Now, Yuki was subjected to a camel clutch sleeper combo, and Yuki was experiencing such a massive pain. "MRRRRGHHHH!!!" Not only that she was pulled back again, she also had herself be put in a sleeper hold, which made this more difficult for her to endure. Still, she would try to continue moving forward even as everything around her dimmed, and the noises around her sounded like they were miles away.

One can say that maybe the young Wrestle Angel was starting to get carried away at this point with her opponent. Katori had changed her submission on Yuki-Onna from a basic Camel Clutch to a Camel Clutch Sleeper combo, with pulling back on her chin again while making it harder for the icy babe to breath. And all because Yuki's determination to break free lit the hot fires of Katori's wrestling spirit. Also, the angel had to secretly admit, being seated on an opponent like this while they laid face down was kinda comfy.

Nonetheless though, despite going overboard on Yuki due to impulse alone, Katori was in fact aware of the state of her opponent and what she was barely doing. Even with a cut off air supply she was still doing her absolute best to scooch towards the ropes in front of them. But overtime she notices her getting slower as they got closer to them.

So right before the arrived to them, the Mighty Successor will unwrap her arms from around the fellow blunette's neck. She'd let her head drop from her grip to give her a chance to breath, and just like with the Boston Crab from earlier, Katori will simple release the woman from the submission hold as she lays her flat on her front, stepping over her and giving her some space.

Yuki was slowly overpowered by her opponent who used a camel clutch and sleeper hold combo on her. Still, she refused to tap out even though she was on the verge of collapsing. The ropes were almost within her arm's reach, and if she pushed herself forward, she knew that she could reach them. But, due to the lack of air thanks to the sleeper hold, her vision started to darken. She knew that she might lose her consciousness at any moment.

But then, Katori suddenly released her, and Yuki let out a loud gasp. Due to the condition, she ended up slumping on the mat, gasping for air. She had no idea what was happening. She couldn't fathom why Katori suddenly released her from the hold even though she was already close to victory by knocking her out. "Gaaah... *pant* *pant*..." Still, now that she was free, Yuki would take this chance to recover, rolling over to her side before ending up on her back, panting heavily. Her face was already red from the lack of air earlier, and she had become quite a sweaty mess after enduring the dangerous submission hold from her opponent.

Those who are unfamiliar with Katori would definitely be confused as to what she was doing. The former Wrestle Angel had her opponent trapped in a painful and difficult to escape from submission hold and basically let her go when it seemed victory was within her grasp. To some, it was seem a bit foolish to do such a thing, maybe hinting at overconfidence in herself as if she can beat Yuki-Onna regardless of what happened.

But to others who actually knew the Mighty Successor, it was because she wanted to her opponent to keep a state of dignity. As Katori wasn't a submission focused wrestler, even if that hold DID end up giving her the win, she felt it would've been disgraceful to both herself and her opponents if they tapped out to her holds or was knocked out by them.

So if she wanted to get this win, it would be by pinfall from one of her finishers which would give both wrestlers a form of respect and honor, and Katori had just the right one in mind. The angel will walk over towards the nearest corner from Yuki-Onna, climbing up it as the woman rolled onto her front. Katori will look behind her to check on her icy opponent, before lightly smirking and turning to face the crowd in front of her.

"Come on!!!" She'll shout out as the angel raises her arms up high and start to clap them repeatedly to psych up the crowd as they begin to clap with her until it echoes throughout the whole arena. From there, Katori will stop her own clapping as she fully steps up onto the turnbuckle, bending down and leaning inward. And at that moment, keeping Yuki's position in mind, she'll leap off backwards from the top of the turnbuckle into the air as she flies up before attempting to come down to slam on top of her opponent with her signature Finisher, the Moonsault Press!!

If Katori succeeds in slamming Yuki-Onna, she'll rotate herself so her back is on top of the icy woman while she reaches to hook one of her fine legs to pin her. As the ref-girl comes to begin the count, the Successor will raise her free hand to throw up high with raised fingers as counts with her.

"One...!"

Yuki was still on her back, panting and trying to recover her strength. She was unaware of what Katori was doing at the moment, which would soon spell her doom later as Katori climbed up the turnbuckle, preparing herself for a move while Yuki was still on the canvas, trying her best to recover and get back into the fight. But, as soon as she saw her opponent descend down onto her from the turnbuckle, flipping in the air with a moonsault, Yuki knew that there's no way she could move away in time, and she could only watch helplessly as Katori slammed herself onto her with a moonsault press!

"HUUURGGHH!!!"

Upon impact, Yuki's limbs were lifted up before flopping limply on the mat. At this rate, her strength had fully left her after taking the full weight of her opponent. Right after landing on top of her, Katori quickly grabbed one of her legs, going for the pin. Yuki could barely register the sensation of having her leg lifted up as she heard the sound of the referee slapping the mat with her palm, counting for the pin. No matter how much she tried to summon her strength to kick out, she was unable to do so, and the referee continued counting without stopping.

"TWO!"

In the end, Yuki closed her eyes, letting out a soft groan. It was clear that she had no way winning this, and the ref's hand descended down onto the canvas for the third and final time, finishing the count.

"THREE!"

And with that, the match finally ended. Yuki would remain on the mat when the referee would call for the bell, officiating the end of the match as she would go for Katori, grabbing her arm in order to declare her as the winner of the match.

This was the moment of the climax of this match, Katori Kimura having launched herself from the top of the turnbuckle to slam Yuki-Onna with her Moonsault Press finisher to then pin her to secure the win. With a leg hooked while her back was on her opponent's front, the angel rose her free hand to count along with the ref-girl towards victory!

"One...!"

"Two..!!"

"THREE!!!"

The match was over! The gong rings to signify the end of the match for Katori as the crowd roars in cheers for the Wrestle Angel! Katori lets go of Yuki's leg to let it drop as she lays her back fully on her defeated opponent to catch a quick breath before she starts to sit up and stand to her feet. The ref-girl raises the Successor's hand in victory while she throws her other one up high with a big smile on her face to the loving and supportive cheers of the audience.

After indulging in the fans' cheers for maybe a few minutes or less, Katori will go towards Yuki and gets down on one knee while looking down at her with a respecting smile. "That was a fun match, Yuki-Onna-san. You sure were tough." Katori says to her opponent to show her respect for the icy woman, with her smile widening before extending her hand to her to show further sportsmanship and to offer her up.

"Can you get up okay?" She'll ask as she holds her hand out, and if Yuki accepts the help she'll heave her up to her feet and then wrap an arm around her waist to help support her if she's still a bit shaky.

At the very least, her opponent was courteous enough to show the spirit of sportsmanship. Yuki looked at Katori with her crimson eyes before she nodded slightly, taking the offered hand so that she could pull her up to her feet.

"Uuuh..." Yuki felt a little nauseous after getting back on her feet, but she smiled at Katori regardless of this and her loss. While she might have lost the match, she could feel that it was a very exciting one. "Ha... thank you," she said. "And congratulations, Katori-san. It was a fun match," she said.

After a bit, she added, "And please call me Yukina. That's my real name." She was helped by Katori to stand, having the victor of the match wrapping her arm around her waist to support her.

The atmosphere surrounding the wrestlers after the match truly felt good, as Katori did what she could and help out her opponent back up if she needed it. Which she did and pulled the icy blue woman up to her feet, noticing her reaction as she wrapped an arm around Yuki-Onna to support her. "No problem! And thanks,
it really was fun, hehe~" The angel says to Yuki while giving off a friendly and slightly dopy grin to her.

Before she was about to let go of Yuki-Onna to let her stand on her own if she could, Katori overheard the woman say for her to call her by her real name, Yukina. "Yukina-san, huh? That's a cute name, and okay! But out of the ring, in the ring you're still Yuki-Onna." She says with a playful giggle, and then decides to give Yukina a generous treat.

Without removing her wrapped arm from her, the young angel takes the time to snake around behind her opponent then uses her free hand to grab Yuki's wrist. "And now, it's your turn to bask in praiseworthy cheers, Yukina-san~" Katori says as she raises Yukina's arm up high in which the crowd starts to roar in cheers again for both wrestlers as the Mighty Successor had let Yuki-Onna get the much needed recognition she deserved after putting on such a great match with the former Wrestle Angel!

Yuki blushed when Katori said that her name was cute. Still, she maintained her smile, feeling glad that she got to fight Katori. And then, Katori raised her arm, and Yuki was cheered, causing her to blush more. But she was happy, even though she lost in the end.

In the end, both Katori and Yuki would leave the arena, acknowledging each other after their hard-fought battle.

Winner: Katori Kimura via pinfall!
