Rising Star Title Match - YUKINA vs. Schwarz Nebel

Locking Schwarz Nebel in an ankle lock after kicking at her inner thigh, Yukina would try to apply pressure in the hold, hoping to deal some damage on her opponent. And then, she decided to transition it into something else as she would bring herself down onto the mat, still holding the blonde's leg before wrapping her own legs around her opponent's, this time looking to lock her in a kneebar.

It was a misconception to say that Yukina didn't know any kind of submission holds. After all, she was a martial-artist before she was a wrestler. This particular hold was also known as hiza-juji-gatame, and its purpose was to hyperextend the knee, applying pressure around the area, thus dealing quite a significant damage on her opponent.

Schwarz Nebel wasn't in a good spot now! Her ankle was being forced into an uncomfortable position as she would be forced to shake and struggle wildly to try and find freedom. Yukina using her skills to lock her legs around her own and then put her in a painful hiza-juji-gatame! Gasping out, this was more like the stuff she used to feel when they were younger and she always used to be defeated by things like this.

The blond would grit her teeth, her hands would place themselves against the canvas, and she would next try and use her arms to drag herself towards the ropes! Trying to pull Yukina's body along with her, she wasn't going to accept defeat here! She had to get free! Trying to crawl towards the rope as she would try and grab onto the bottom ropes as soon as she could.

Trapping Schwarz Nebel in the hiza-juji-gatame, hyperextending her knee, Yukina would make sure to keep applying pressure around the affected area, but the blonde refused to submit as she began to drag the Rising Star champion towards the ropes. Grunting, Yukina would try to keep herself from being dragged along, but she couldn't stop the German from doing that. So, all she could do at the moment was to maintain the hold on the blonde, hoping that she could at least deal some damage on her as the German tried to bring herself closer towards the ropes.

Eventually, once Schwarz Nebel managed to grab onto the rope, Yukina would loosen her hold on her leg, releasing her from the hiza-juji-gatame. Hopefully, the damage dealt should've been enough to weaken the German, giving herself more advantage over her later.

The trek to the ropes was a painful and arrdeous trip to say the least, but when she finally managed to grab a hold of the bottom ropes, Schwarz Nebel was rewarded with freedom. She knew Yukina wasn't the kind to keep the hold locked in, and neither was she. Remaining down on her side for a few moments, wincing out as she moved her now hurting leg....

Kasumi would soon start to pull herself up with the help of the ropes...her leg wasn't doing so hot, but she had to manage that. She would throw a very determined look towards Yukina, despite the pain, despite the fatigue, the sweat building up on her forehead....she wasn't going to back down.

Stepping away from the ropes, she would raise her arms and move forward, she would then suddenly throw herself towards Yukina! Aiming to smack her in the face with a forearm strike!

Having released Schwarz Nebel from the kneebar, Yukina stepped back, waiting for the blonde to make her move. She watched her movement carefully, and she could see her leg hurting courtesy to her move earlier. She thought about taking advantage of this, but it seemed that the German wasn't one to back down just because she was having that kind of handicap.

Then, she saw Schwarz Nebel closing in, and Yukina would react to her accordingly, bringing her left arm to block the incoming forearm strike aimed to her face. Shielding herself from her opponent's strike, the Rising Star champion would try to retaliate by attempting to bring her palm under her opponent's chin, hitting her with a palm strike.

Hoping that Schwarz Nebel would throw her head back from the strike, Yukina planned to extend out her arm, looking to hit her with a lariat, hoping to take the German down with the strike.

Schwarz Nebel wasn't about to back down, not now and not never! Not when it came to facing Yukina of all people, she had to give it her all and out-do her previous self. She had failed to defeat Yukina in their latest spar, she wouldn't fail here as well!

Stepping forwards she threw that forearm strike to the pretty face of the Rising Star Champion. Though she soon found Yukina's arm blocking her strike, causing the blond's eyes to widen, she had over extending herself a bit with that forearm strike, and as such it seemed as if Yukina had planned to punish her.

Throwing a palm strike straight up into her chin sent the head of Kasumi shooting backwards, a soft gasp escaping through her gritted teeth. Then suddenly that arm of Yukina smacked into her chest and took her off of her feet, dropping the Hero of Germany onto her back in a heap!

Yukina managed to take down Schwarz Nebel with her lariat, and she looked at her opponent on the mat. Breathing heavily, the Rising Star champion decided to perform a risky move next as she would grab onto Schwarz Nebel's body, looking to drag her towards the nearest corner where she could execute her next move.

After moving her opponent's body a bit, Yukina would then slip out of the ropes, climbing up the turnbuckle as she would face the ring and her opponent in preparation for her next move. Taking two seconds to prepare herself, she would then leap up into the air, looking to hit the German wrestler with a diving elbow drop aimed right at her gut!

Schwarz Nebel was already a bit out of it after that sudden combo of strikes from her old martial arts rival, it seemed she hadn't lost her knack for vicious strikes. The blond left in that daze was soon pulled and dragged towards the the corner turnbuckle, let go just a few feet away.

It seemed as if Yukina was going to go high risk and as she climbed up and then jumped off, Schwarz Nebel's eyes would open, coming to a bit too late however as that elbow of Yukina drove straight into Kasumi's abs! " Hoouugh!!" Schwarz Nebel gasped out loudly as air and spittle left her mouth and she was forced to roll over onto her side after that elbow drop, coughing out wildly.

Yukina performed her diving elbow drop, driving her elbow right into Schwarz Nebel's belly, knocking the air out of her lungs with the attack. The breathtaking sight of the cerulean-haired champion leaping off of the turnbuckle was something to behold, and after landing the diving elbow drop, Yukina would push herself up, looking at the state of the German who had taken her attack. She considered going for a pinfall, but then she decided against it as she would push herself back onto her feet, pulling Schwarz Nebel alongside her.

This time, she would begin her set up for her ultimate finisher, the dreaded Snowmaker. She would hold onto her opponent's wrist as she would position herself behind her. Then, she would try to whip her opponent forward, but rather than letting her go, she would keep her hold onto her wrist, and from there, she would pull her opponent back towards her as she would attempt to bring up her knee, looking to hit her with a bicycle knee smash right at her face. The Snowmaker maneuver was certainly a move with a simple setup, but no one could deny its effectiveness.

Schwarz Nebel was currently coughing and wheezing on her back, air had left her lungs at an alarmingly fast rate after that elbow had dug into her abs. She coughed, shook her head and turned...rolling over onto her side and groaning out. She would soon feel how Yukina started to pull her up towards her feet.

The blond was still coughing, arms wrapped around her stomach as the cerulean-haired Champion got her to her feet, holding her wrists as she positioned herself behind the Soldier. Whipped forward, Schwarz Nebel was suddenly whipped right backwards, ripcorded back into towards Yukina as then that knee smashed straight into her face! " Grrkh!!" the blond gasped out as her face was plastered with that knee and her body then suddenly fell backwards, crashing onto her back, her heavy chest bouncing as she landed, arms and legs gone eagle spread as Yukina's finisher knocked her off her feet.
