Ai Hayasaka knew that she was in for a fun one tonight. Trip to China and PPV setting notwithstanding, even if this match was held in some tiny shack that was only half put together, it would be a fight to remember. Oil and bikinis, to start. This wasn't a hentai match, but this was definitely getting at least a little lewd one way or another. Ai would make sure of that herself if she had to. Not to mention a truly unique gimmick to the match that had never truly been done before to Ai's knowledge, but was something she could easily see being replicated in the future.
Ring The Bell. Granted, this was far from the first time a wrestling match had been centered around climbing to the top of something for whatever was up there, but Ai had never seen the way up be a rope before. She had only ever seen this done with ladders, or maybe somebody getting creative with a cage match. Funnily enough, the arena was open air, so they had to attach wires from the walls to the space above the ring to actually suspend the bell and rope from. Combine that with the oil, and who knew how much damage the falls alone would do compared to Ai and her opponent actually hitting each other.
Speaking of, Ai's opponent brought as much excitement to the match as the ruleset. Maria Lindberg, a Lightweight blonde like herself. She was a woman who knew how to enjoy herself in the ring, but Ai knew that she couldn't play around with her. Maria was a contender level wrestler who had been around since LAW was holding tournaments to crown its first champions. Maria came close then, and she'd be sure to be fighting to win now. Ai knew that this would certainly be more fun for the both of them if she didn't hold back as she was commonly inclined to do. Ai was confident that Maria was strong enough to handle her best. Music
Ai's music came on, and she made her entrance already pre-slicked in oil, so the lights alongside her entrance would shine off her body all the better. Only the soles of her feet left dry, both to avoid risking an accident on the entrance, and to not leave any tracks for staff to need to clean up. She'd be stepping into oil as soon as she entered the ring, so Ai wasn't worried about having some unfair advantage.
Upon reaching the ring, Ai flashed a playful smile, then slid her hands under her bikini top and rubbed them back and forth across her breasts while pushing them together. Then she pulled her hands out to strike a stretching pose with her arms raised and head tilted back before entering the ring.
It has been a while since Maria stepped a foot in the ring. She was feeling unease. To make it a bit worse for her she had to leave the country and visit china. Not that she would ever complain about a trip to another country, however, the thought that she got booked after all this time for a fight like that did leave her something to think about. Her opponent did make the situation better. Atleast form her perspective. She was a rather cute blond woman, perfect to fight against in an oil themed fight. Still beating her oppopnent was not enough this time. As Maria read that she had to climb up a rope, covered in oil, to end the match. Her mind was pondering on how to get up there. The oil makes it already hard enough to move, so she had to be careful while striking.
And so the flight and time till the fight continued. Maria went through some options on how to approach the fight. She came up with some ideas during the waiting time and got some ideas she could use the rope.
A few hours later, Maria arrived at the venue. She put her stuff in a locker and only kept her bikini on. The blond woman took a nearby bottle and covered herself in oil. She made her way in the arena. The other woman was already waiting for her and so her music started to play, blasting from the speakers.
Spoiler
As a familiar feeling came running down her spine, Maria felt a lot better. She breathed in and out as she walked, her smile getting stronger the closer she got. Her body itched, as she got reminded how much she missed to fight.
Maria entered the ring and she looked at her opponent with a warm smile, the lights reflecting from her body, showing of her muscles. Despite the long waiting time, the blond woman didn't just sit around. She stretched to give everyone and especially Ai a good view of her body and what was about to go down. "You are Ai right?" Maria asked already knowing the answer, but she wanted to make small talk before they were about to clash

Ai smiled as she watched Maria's entrance. Just from seeing her, Ai knew that this match was going to be worthwhile, win or lose. This was her kind of opponent, as well as her kind of match. "You are correct," Ai said when Maria asked her name. "And unless I'm in the wrong ring, and you just so happen to be fighting a different woman named 'Ai,' then you must be Maria."
"So," Ai continued as she leaned back against the ropes. Slicked skin on slicked fiber, but the ponytailed girl easily had enough bodily control to not go sliding. Then she asked, looking up at the victory bell, "what do you think? I've never seen a match quite like this before, but it has me pretty excited, honestly. Hope you're a good climber though. Might be a problem if I'm lying knocked out on the floor, and it turns out you can climb an oiled rope. Then again, I can climb. But maybe even though I beat you, my arm is too hurt to get myself up there. Wonder what'd happen if something like that happens and we just can't ring the bell. Doubt the supports are weak enough for it to be pulled down."
Ai didn't mind letting her thoughts wander. She could lock in easily enough when the starting bell rang, and it seemed like Maria wanted to talk some. So, she's keep the conversation going after Maria answered her questions about the match, "You hear that the Smother Belt is finally becoming a thing? Gonna chase for it? I don't care so much about championship titles, but, it just sounds fun, you know?"
This woman really likes to talk. Maria doesnt mind. It is a switch up from other people she saw in this league. And as a plus side she could get a feeling on what kind the other woman was. "Let us see how this fight goes. Worst case is I might have to look around if there is another Ai waiting to get beaten up. Haha" Maria laughed a bit and got a good look at the woman. She didn't look bad and Maria enjoyed the view as the oil reflected the light from her skin.
As Ai mentioned the rope Maria looked upwards. The fellow blond woman had a point. The whole oil stuff was sure making it difficult to get up there. Maybe the management had also prepared different approaches to the problem. I mean they cant expect everyone to get up there. "You've got a point. I mean I got a few ways up there but after a long difficult fight...who is to say that there will be enough strength left in my body. If i really have nothing left then I guess you have to help me get up there." Maria chuckled as she was amussed by the thought that after beating Ai she would help her up in some way. Although it could be funny
"Not sure about that. It could be fun, but I am not big into smothers. Maybe I will persue another direction. I will see. I am more of a striker than a grappler you know?" Maria said and balled her fists, smiling at the other woman. Maybe she should look around if there was a strike belt "Another thing is that I didn't fight in a long time. So at first I need to check how strong I still am. Would look really dumb if i get beaten just like that dont you think?"
She asked the woman. Maria had a big break. So the woman would be more alert at the moment, because she was uncertain on how much impact her punches still had.

"Haha, now wouldn't that be a funny sight," Ai laughed at Mariaa's hypothetical end to the match. "Submitted so entirely that I choose to help you win rather than try to keep fighting." Ai hummed as she looked up at the bell. "Although, I could only get you up so high," she said. "Say you stand up on my shoulders, you'd still be on the hook for about half the climb. Well, let's just hope it doesn't come to that."
"Ah, fair enough," Ai said when Maria expressed a lack of interest in the Smother Belt. Ai wouldn't say it aloud out of respect, but she thought it was certainly a shame that the Swede felt that way. She definitely had the build for smothering. Ai herself knew that she wouldn't mind having her face under Maria's chest.
But Ai's attention was then taken by the next thing Maria said. "Is that so?" she said. "Well don't get ahead of yourself," the ponytailed blonde said as she took her stance. "I have to make sure you're still skilled and fast enough to hit me at all before we see if you still hit as hard as you'd like to. So, let's see then. Your move." With that, the starting bell rang. It was on.
