Bethany Hunter vs. Hikaru Sawazaki - Rise Up!

[Arjuna]

Eventually, Bethany was freed from the chin lock, and she took a few seconds to regain her bearing before pushing herself back up. But, as soon as she got herself onto her feet, she took a dropkick from Hikaru, eliciting a cry of pain from the strawberry-blonde cutie. "Uaahhh!!" Once again, she was on the mat, reeling in pain.

Still, Bethany didn't want to stay idle, so she would try to roll over onto her front before pushing herself onto all four, preparing herself to get herself back onto her feet. But Hikaru might be able to continue with her momentum at this point, and Bethany could do nothing to stop her.

[Highfly]

Hikaru took Bethany down again, getting back up to her feet as Bethany struggled to do the same. Taking a deep breath Hikaru made her way towards her opponent, reaching out to grab her up wrapping an arm around her head while grabbing the waist of her attire. Hikaru bent her legs straining as she lift Bethany up trying to get her high for a vertical duplex before bringing her crashing down to the mat!

[Arjuna]

Getting herself onto her hands and knees, Bethany was going to push herself back up, but Hikaru managed to secure a hold onto her head, and she was forced onto her feet by her opponent as she was trapped in a front facelock. And then, Hikaru reached out for the waist of her outfit before she was lifted up into a vertical position.

Unable to counter, Bethany was brought down back first into the mat with a vertical suplex, and her back crashed against the canvas, and pain spread all over her back. "Aughhh!!!" She cried out and grimaced in pain, reeling from the pain. At the moment, she was in a very precarious position before her opponent, who had her opportunity to do whatever she wanted to her.

[Highfly]

Hikaru sent Bethany down to the mat as hard as she could. Afterward Hikaru rolled over right on top of Bethany, laying across her chest while reaching down to hook a leg. Hikaru was going for a pin early instead of being the one laid out on the canvass!

"ONE!"

It was a nice change as far as Hikaru was concerned, and she knew she had to keep up on the offense if she was going to earn her first LAW victory. She wasn't sure if she did enough but she held tight hoping to keep Bethany down.

[Arjuna]

Bethany was reeling after being suplexed into the mat by Hikaru, and as she writhed in pain on the mat, she could feel her opponent getting herself on top of her body, lifting one of her legs for a pinfall attempt. She could hear the voice of the referee counting for the pin, and the strawberry-blonde cutie would muster her focus in order to kick out of the pin.

"TWO!"

And right after two, Bethany would kick out her legs, breaking the pin. Grunting, she would try to shove Hikaru off of her as she would try to regain her bearing and recover. Shaking her head, she would try to come up with another plan in order to take her opponent on.

[Highfly]

Hikaru felt Bethany kick out, and she rolled off to the side trying to get to her hands and knees before pushing herself up to her feet. Bethany was rising as well, and Hikaru began to circle with her hands up. Once more she moved in trying to grapple with Bethany!

[Arjuna]

Right after kicking out, Bethany would push herself up, shaking her head to get rid of the cobwebs off her head. Now standing on her feet, she looked at Hikaru, who was also on her feet. The Japanese wrestler was in a much better condition than her, but it didn't mean she couldn't win this match.

So, as soon as Hikaru moved in to grapple with her, Bethany would also do the same, locking up with her opponent. But as soon as they locked up, Bethany would try to twist around, hoping to subject her opponent in an armlock, twisting her arm and giving it some pressure.

[Highfly]

Hikaru again found Bethany catching her in a hold! Her arm was twisted and painfully held, leading to Hikaru looking for a way to escape! She grit her teeth trying to lash out at Bethany with a couple fast kicks to try to get her to loosen her grip! Bethany was a very technical wrestler it seemed and one that Hikaru had to strike down to size if she could! This was going to be much easier said than done, and Bethany appeared to be quite capable of getting Hikaru in compromising positions with relative ease!

[Arjuna]

Locking Hikaru in an armlock, Bethany was looking to apply some pressure in it, but when Hikaru hit her with a few kicks, she grunted, and this prevented her from maintaining the hold. Soon, she was forced to relinquish the hold, releasing her opponent from the armlock. But, she wouldn't just let her go just like that as she would try to grab her by her waist from behind, wrapping her arms around her before attempting to lift her up in order to throw her behind with a German suplex!

[Highfly]

Hikaru was free which provided a split second of relief before bethany grabbed hold of her! Hikaru shook her head in protest, screaming as she went up into the air!

Hikaru landed hard on her head and neck, letting out a weak moan as she fell to the mat in a heap after the painful, forceful suplex! Bethany was in control now and Hikaru was left barely moving laid out on the canvas!
