Hikaru Sawazaki vs. Sakura Hagiwara

[Highfly]

Match Type: Standard

Hikaru Sawazaki was ready for the battle tonight. She was eager to prive herself as was her opponent Sakura Hagiwara. However Sakura had more popularity than Hikaru as well as a better winning percentage. That didn't mean Sakura would have an easy time though! The part time grad student was well balanced in the ring and would use her technical skill to keep Sakura grounded if she could.


Hikaru came out to the arena in her yellow and black one piece swimsuit suit, pads and boots waving to the crowd as she marched down the ramp. Hikaru smiled and walked up the ring steps before climbing through the ropes. She stepped into the ring doing a final lap holding her arms out determined to have a great showing tonight against a women she considered a tough opponent!

Sakura took deep, shaky breath backstage. To say she had fallen down the card would be an understatement. Really she had free fell and was now lucky to go up against a known jobber in Hikaru Sawazaki. Not that she could really say much in that regard... But that was why it was so important that she won here tonight. If she didn't... her already fragile reputation and confidence would be in utter ruins.

Nodding to herself as confidently as she could Sakura would stand and make her way out as her entrance music began playing. Coming out she still received the very loud reception of the fans who still somehow stood by Sakura's face, making her smile softly as they did so. Coming down the ramp she would high five some fans on her way down to the ring before jumping onto the apron and then flipping over the ropes and into the ring!

Facing her opponent and giving a nod of acknowledgement Sakura would say or do nothing further aside from back up to her corner. Leaning against it and waiting for the bell to ring. Remaining as focused as possible, refusing to take this for anything that it was. Life or death for the idol!

Hikaru saw Sakura come in looking focused so Hikaru did the same, zeroing in on her opponent as the bell rang. Hikaru circled Sakura and moved in trying to grab Sakura by the arm to whip her to the ropes! As Sakura bounced off Hikaru ran right at her, lowering her shoulders and trying to shoulder block Sakura down to the mat wasting no time in attempting to establish herself with some momentum early on in the match.
