SS 19 Rising Star Championship - YUKINA (c) vs. Aisha Love

Yukina managed to grab Aisha by her foot before dragging her back to the center of the ring. From there, she would apply an ankle lock, hoping to put some pressure into her ankle. While Yukina was more of a striker type of wrestler, she knew that applying a submission hold could also weaken her opponent, and she would focus on trying to weaken her opponent by targeting her ankle.

"Will you give up now?" Yukina asked. She knew that the match wouldn't end that easily, but she wanted to gauge her opponent's reaction, hoping to demoralize her and making it much easier for her to win this match.

"Awwwahh!" the supposed goddess let out as her ankle was subjected to the brutal hold. She clenched her fist, reaching out towards the nearest ropes, trying to hold out and ignore the near un-ignorable pain that she was suffering. If it wasn't for the title she would have easily tapped, giving up without a thought at the near perfect position that the Snow Maker had gotten her into. That refusal to tap even with her moans and groans of pain gave her time to think of a way out.

Aphrodite would begin to kick out wit the other leg, pushing outward with it as she tried to kick Yukina away from her, the ankle hold still rather in effect.

Yukina would continue wrenching at Aisha's ankle, looking to keep the pressure going and to ensure that her opponent would be weakened even if she refused to submit. The Snowmaker wasn't someone who always used submission holds, but even she knew how important wrestling holds in matches.

Still thinking that Aisha wouldn't be able to get away, Yukina would continue applying pressure into the ankle lock, not thinking that her opponent might do something to disrupt her. Sure enough, Aisha suddenly kicked at her with her other leg, which caused her off-guard. "Ah!" While Yukina managed to avoid being directly hit, the kick forced her to relinquish the submission hold, releasing Aisha from the ankle lock.

Moving away from her opponent, Yukina would try to regain her bearing as she would keep her eyes on Aisha to see what her opponent would do next after being released from the ankle lock.

Aphrodite had managed to escape the hold after kicking out of it, scurrying out as she fell out of the ring. It was safer there in her opinion that on the mat, a place to hide and to catch her breath for a moment. Her ankle wasn't too bad off, any longer would've been bad but Aphrodite was clever one to hide such weaknesses, or in this case, act as if her leg had been near torn off, limping somewhat exaggeratedly around the ring. She was acting like the wounded deer, stalked by a hungry snow leopard, hoping that heroic Yuki-Onna would take the bait that she was laying.

She had other surprises in store against Yukina but they would have to wait. She wanted to get the snow witch, the less colorful name that she had for her opponent, down a peg a bit, wear her down until she was no more than melted snow, a puddle on the floor.

Yukina saw Aisha falling out of the ring and limping around, indicating that her ankle was in a bad shape after being put into the ankle lock earlier. Thinking that she would take this opportunity, the Rising Star champion would begin formulating a plan. She would move towards the edge of the ring that was the closest to her opponent before slipping out of the ropes, standing on the apron.

Keeping her eyes on Aisha, Yukina planned to jump down from the apron, approaching her opponent in order to grab her opponent. She was unaware of what her opponent had in store for her as she planned to bring the match back into the ring. At the same time, the referee started counting for count out and would only stop once both wrestlers had returned into the ring.

The goddess would wander around for a little bit longer, still feigning her wounded state as a true reality of her situation, every second waiting patiently for the snow witch to come straight into her carefully laid trap that she had laid. As soon as Yukina would attempt to grab on and try to bring the supposedly wounded Aphrodite back into the ring,  the blonde goddess's plan was laid into action, taking her elbow and ramming it straight into what was most likely an unaware opponent. A gambit that was hopefully just now paying off.

Once successful she'd grab at Yukina's head, setting up for a plain and rather simple DDT to the outside of the ring, hoping to smash her opponents head straight onto the ground floor mat below them. She didn't really have a plan for anything afterwards as now she was somewhat too far ahead of what she had planned before. The count from the referee reminded her what the main goal was, the title, and not her own survival against her opponent. It would like she'd be the one to pick Yukina up and drag her back into the ring.

Still unaware of her opponent's true situation, Yukina approached Aisha and planned to bring her back into the ring, but as soon as she got closer and grabbed her, Yukina took an elbow into her chest, and her eyes widened as she took the shot. "Guhhh!!!" The attack left her winded, which gave Aphrodite an opportunity to grab her by her head before bringing her down head first into the floor with a DDT.

"UAGHH!!!" Yukina cried out as her head hit the floor. The DDT left her disoriented and dizzy, and right after that, Aisha went to drag her back into the ring, and she was unable to stop her. Due to her headache, Yukina was unable to fight her opponent back, leaving herself a vulnerable target for the challenger.

What to do what to do little Yuki-Onna?" she asks seemingly to no one as she wipes her mouth, having bit her lip slightly after the DDT, "O' I know just what to do, consider it... punishment."

Aphrodite was straddling the downed Yukina, now both in the ring with the ring out count cancelled. She'd have to get off for her to perform such a planned task, making sure that her opponent was facing down on her stomach as now placed her self sitting as if set up for a another Boston Crab, grabbing the legs, but instead of sitting down on the small of the back, the goddess would begin to lean and arch her herself back. An Anchor Hold that would curl her opponents back as her head inched closer to where Yukina's own was almost. pulling the legs back as hard as she could. This was her Acadalia .

Yukina's head was throbbing after being brought down onto the floor by DDT earlier, and she tried to recover, but it seemed that Aphrodite wasn't going to stop her onslaught as she brought Yukina back into the ring, preparing to put her into a submission hold. It looked like a Boston crab, only that it looked different and more painful than a normal Boston crab. Trapped in the hold, Yukina cried out in pain as her body was bent in such a way.

"AAGHHH!!!" Yukina wailed out as her body was bent well past its limit, and she knew that she might end up having to tap out or end up passing out at this rate. So, despite the overwhelming pain, the champion would try to drag herself towards the closest ropes, hoping that she could free herself from the hold. Still, she knew that the hold would leave her badly damaged, which would definitely affect the outcome of this match.

Holding Yukina's legs as awkward and painful as she could in the hold, one could think that this would be enough to take down the Snow Maker down and force a submission, however she was a champion after all and they didn't quit their way into becoming one. Even with all of Aphrodite's pressure it couldn't tame her and so milking as much as she could out of it, the goddess was forced to release her prey as she began to become unbalanced with each crawling movement her opponent made towards the ropes.

Now standing she'd grab at Yukina in an attempt to try and pull her away from the ropes and twist her body over until she on her back to go for her next and even more painful move, one that she had been working on just for the troublesome champion. The goddess made moves to get into what appeared to be an reversed boston crab before twisting her body to have her on her back on the stomach and grabbing the arms, creating her newest move The Divine Punishment; a Pendulum hold.
