In the thrilling world of women's professional wrestling, a new contender has emerged from the shadows. Saki Kashima, the underdog member of the villainous "Oedo Tai" unit of the Stardom wrestling organization, has claimed victory in the "Belt Challenge Right Battle 'Naniwa Roulette' Single Knockout Match" held at the 4th Edion Arena Osaka No. 1 Stadium.
This fierce contest featured 15 of the most talented and determined wrestlers in the game, including Mayu Iwatani, Momo Kohgo, Natsuko Tora, Kashima, Mai Sakurai, Tekla, Tam Nakano, Natsupoi, Mina Shirakawa, Mariah May, Waka Tsukiyama, Yuna Mizumori, Miyu Amasaki, Momoka Hanazono, and X. The rules were simple but deadly: a 5-minute one-game knockout match where the opponent is determined by a roulette spin, with a 3-count fall, give-up, or over-the-top rope elimination resulting in defeat. In case of a draw, both competitors would be disqualified.
It was Mayu who devised the rules, and she came out of the gate strong, overwhelming opponents one after the other with her incredible skills. But her toughest opponent would prove to be Tam Nakano, who held her own against Mayu and fought to a draw by time limit.
As the match progressed, the appearance of "Billiken Desu" brought a new level of excitement to the proceedings. The wrestler, modeled after the beloved god of Tsutenkaku in Osaka, displayed dazzling high-speed attacks and eventually emerged victorious over Yuna Mizumori.
But it was Saki Kashima, former tag team partner of Fukigen in the "We Love Tokyo Sports!" squad, who stole the show. Sporting a puzzled expression at the sight of her ally's doppelgänger, Kashima was caught off guard by an eye poke attack. However, she quickly regrouped and launched a devastating counterattack.
In just 2 minutes and 27 seconds, Kashima secured her right to challenge for the coveted High Speed Championship, dazzling fans with her signature turnaround technique. "As the last to appear in this battle royale, I've got what it takes!" she exclaimed, skipping backstage in a jubilant mood. "Lately, I've been thinking I'm pretty good at finishing fights off quickly, so I thought maybe I could take on AZM's High-Speed Championship with my high-speed abilities."
With her incredible speed, agility, and sheer determination, Saki Kashima has proven that she's a force to be reckoned with in the world of professional wrestling. As she sets her sights on the High Speed Championship, fans can't wait to see what she'll achieve next.
