This was it, this was her time to shine, her chance at glory that she so sought to achieve in the ring of the AFW. She just had one person to face, one person that stood in her way of gaining the coveted gold that she so craved to have for her own. Aisha was ready to bring the Snow Maker down, whatever it took, whatever it takes to win,beating Yukina for the victory. All she had to do was come out on top and that was something she was going to do.

INTRODUCING THE CHALLENGER FROM FU... MOUNT OLYMPUS, WEIGHING IN AT 138lbs, SHE IS THE LOVE OF THE WORLD, THE APHRODITE!!! the announcer spoke through the mic, echoing through the arena as she made her entrance, laying about on a palanquin carried by extras shirtless and in very Greek like attire. This show was her's, even if she wasn't the top spot as she was carried down the ramp to rather exotic music all themed to fit her, dressed in exotic silks covering over wrestling attire and iconic pink a blonde, she felt like a true Queen, only lacking in one thing, gold.

Once at the ring, Aphrodite stepped out of her palanquin, now laid flat by her attendants, caressing a few of their abs and chests. She was a goddess of love after all, or whom she was supposed to be at least even though this was a standard match and lacked any of the usual lewdness. Up the steps she'd discard with abandon her silks, revealing a white version of her attire, delicately entering the ring with grace and poise, arms out for all of them to her in glory. Her battle attire, she wasn't going to back down nor lose easy, she was committed to winning.

This would be her first title match in a PPV, and Yukina was determined to show why she was a worthy champion for this new title. She remembered the heated exchange that she had with the challenger, Aisha Love, some time ago, and she needed to make sure that at the end of this match, she would stand victorious over her.

Soon, it was about time for her to make her entrance, and she would get herself ready. She stepped out of the entrance, not greeted by her usual music entrance, but a traditional koto tune. Also, she didn't seem to be wearing her usual wrestling outfit, but a traditional kimono, with her hair tied up into an elegant bun. She was also carrying a traditional Japanese parasol.

With the traditional Japanese tune being played, snowflakes seemed to be flying in the air as Yukina walked down the ramp. But then, the music ended abruptly before being replaced by her energetic ring entrance. She stopped in the middle of the ramp as she brought her hand onto a clasp on her kimono, swiftly undressing herself, stepping out of her kimono. She was wearing her white-and-blue leotard underneath. She dropped her parasol as she undid her bun, letting her flowing blue hair free as she continued walking down the ramp, heading over to the ring where the self-proclaimed Aphrodite was waiting for her.

She was also wearing her title belt under her kimono earlier, and she had it wrapped around her waist. Soon, she reached the ring, and she would climb up the apron before slipping under the ropes to enter the ring. She unclasped her belt from around her waist and draped it over her shoulder as she went to rouse the crowd, raising her arm. She seemed to get quite a reception from her American audience, after all.

Soon after that, she would look at Aisha with her intense crimson eyes. She would say nothing as she would wait for the match to commence. The crowd was cheering her name, chanting 'Yukina' and 'Rising Star' again and again.

"Ohoho, so you have come now, very lovely I'd say," she said pacing around a bit, hands on her hips and walking slowly around. She had discarded the rest of her silks, tossing them off to the side as she had waited for Yukina to make her way down to the ring. She didn't seem to care the Yukina was the one that was getting far more cheers of adoration, Aphrodite getting more so boos. She didn't care for such, they were all beneath anyway and of no real concern. They would all learn anyway who the real one to cheer on would be, her and her alone, "It's too bad though I'm gonna have to ugly it by the time I'm through with you."

"Of course... you could always surrender to me, give the belt to me, no harm down from a few weeks ago. No blood has to be shed, I heard finding blood in the snow is an ill omen honestly," walking straight up towards her, grinning from ear to ear. Their was a fire in her eyes, she wanted her head on a platter after what happened during the promo a few weeks back. Revenge was the only thing the blonde had on her mind.

Yukina looked at Aisha as she attempted to talk her down, and she showed her challenger a resolute expression, indicating that she would not step back from this. "No, we'll this the proper way. There's no point in me stepping down without a fight," she said to Aisha as she closed in to her, showing her the title belt. "If you want this, fight for it. And I'll make sure to defend it with my life..." she told her opponent.

She stared into Aisha's eyes for a few moments before stepping back. She would then hand the belt over to the official as she would get ready for the match. She would make sure to emerge victorious at the end of this match and show everyone that she was worthy for the belt, as well as to bring prestige to the Rising Star title.

Aphrodite seemed not so happy that she'd actually have to fight Yukina for the title but it was rather clear that the snow maker would not back down at all, determined to keep her title that she had earned so rightfully in the rookie tournament. Even then she didn't care as the supposed goddess craved only one thing and that was walking out of the arena tonight with championship gold. Now she just had to work for it a little bit more, something she believed herself to be able to handle well enough.

RING RING

The bell rung and the match would officially begin with the blonde eyeing her blue haired opponent, keeping herself on her toes as she stepped sideways at an even pace, eyeing the competition.

And now, the match officially started, and Yukina would get herself into position as she observed Aisha. The two of them seemed ready to duke it out with each other, and the current Rising Star champion decided to start it out by gauging her opponent first, hoping to see her reaction before closing in, locking up with Aisha in a standard collar-and-elbow lock up.

Locking up with her opponent, Yukina would try to ascertain her strength, planting her feet on the mat as she would try to grapple with her, hoping to show off her grappling prowess to show her and the crowd that she deserved this title. She would try to overpower her with the grappling maneuver, and their bodies would be mashing against each other as she did so.

It was now up to a test of strength as the two fighters came at each other, pushing and prodding, trying to get the upper hand on the other as their bodies pressed close against each other. There was fiery blood pumping in Aisha's veins and she could assume the same for Yukina. However even with them being fairly evenly matched, one could tell that eventually one would have to succumb to the other in this test and it appeared like the Aphrodite was the one to do such as she took a staggered step back. Another step and soon she seemed to direct them towards the rope. If she didn't do anything she'd be cornered and that was something she did not want to happen.

So in true heel fashion she would take advantage of such a situation, bringing her knee back before attempting to try and bash her kneecap right into Yukina's gut, hoping to try and take the air out of the snowmaker and escape the unfavorable collar-and-elbow hold that she found herself currently in.

From the look of it, both Yukina and Aisha were evenly matched, but the champion was slowly gaining traction, and she would try to overpower her opponent while grappling with her. She knew that if she managed to show that she could overwhelm her opponent while grappling with her, it would make it clear to her opponent and everyone else that she wasn't one to be trifled with. There was a confident look on Yukina's face as she would keep pushing herself against Aisha, hoping that her effort would bear fruits.

But, her look of confidence was replaced by a look of shock when Aisha drove her knee into her gut. It took her a second to register the hit, but when she did, her eyes widened and she opened her mouth wide as wind was driven out of her lungs. "GUGH!!!" She couldn't keep pushing against Aisha thanks to this, and she would double over, trying to soothe the pain from being hit as well as to regain her breath, leaving her exposed before her opponent, who would surely take advantage of this.

"Is that all you got, how did you even become champion?" she said as she watched Yukina the snowmaker reel from her knee straight into the gut. Such an easy thing to do to take her straight to victory and wondered just how gullible that her opponent could actually be. She was going to have a field day with her if this continued.

She grabbed the Japanese woman by the arms and threw her quickly into an Irish Whip straight towards the turnbuckle. The blonde goddess would quickly follow suit however as she'd try to jump up for a hip attack straight towards the head, regardless of wither Yukina was facing out towards the crowd or back into the ring. She wanted to be quick with her, never letting up for a moment and always on the attack, not a moment of pause for her opponent to take a breath was her plan.
