A Storm Brews in L.A.W. - Keisha Morgan (D) vs. Raina Jaeger

[Weonna]

The lights in the arena dimmed to a moody blue as the rumble of thunder echoed through the speakers. A flash of lightning lit up the entrance ramp, and then...suddenly the sound of Reggae began to play and the lights changed to Yellow and Green.

The screen flashed gold and yellow bolts, spelling out the name:



From the back emerged Keisha—5’10”, solid muscle wrapped in radiant golden-ring gear accented with Jamaican green. Her long locks swaying as she moved, and her smirk said it all: she was ready to tear through whoever dared step up.

The crowd was on their feet as she made her way down the ramp with swagger and stormy intent. She slapped the turnbuckle hard before stepping between the ropes and climbing the corner post, spreading her arms wide like a hurricane about to crash the coast.

With a slow twist of her hips, she hopped down and walked to the center of the ring, staring toward the entrance.

“Run it den,”

she said with a grin, motioning to the stage.

“Bring me di best ya got.”

The crowd roared louder as the lights refocused toward the stage. Keisha paced in her corner, rolling her shoulders, eyes locked on the curtain, awaiting the first test of her L.A.W. career…

Raina took a deep breath backstage in preparation. It had been a bit of time since she had a match, well a serious one at least. Since she had lost the LAWless Belt but she was going to try her best to make the most of this! After all if she wasn't being used that meant her paychecks would just continue to shrink and she absolutely couldn't allow that! Bouncing heel to heel as her opponent's entrance finished up Raina would look up confidently as her own music played.

Coming out from the curtain Raina would smile out at the crowd who gave a moderate, but overall positive reception to her. It wasn't a huge pop but her time away and overall physique had helped with garnering more of a positive reaction than the last time she had completed. Standing and flexing for a moment definitely helped in that regard before she made her way down the ramp, smiling full of confidence as she hit the ring.

Hopping onto the apron and stepping over the top rope before gracefully entering fully into the ring Raina would look over at her opponent, not having checked her out until now and her face immediately faltered. 'Holy shit... she's not actually bigger than me is she?' Raina thought to herself, very rarely having fought anyone that neared her size and admittedly it made her very, very nervous.

Still the brawny beauty only let her face falter for a moment before she looked back at her opponent with a grin. "Hey hey it's you're debut right? So sorry then but I'll be spoiling it with a win." Raina said with a grin, trying to front more confidence then she really felt as she punched her open palm while waiting in preparation for the match to start.

[Weonna]

Keisha stood in her corner, shoulders rolling, chest rising slow and steady as she watched Raina make her way to the ring. The moment she stepped over the top rope, Keisha’s brows raised slightly—this one was tall. Not a runt. Not a stick. No… this was meat and muscle.

Just how she liked it.

As Raina threw out her little taunt, Keisha chuckled, cracking her neck before stepping forward with a swagger-filled strut. She looked Raina up and down slowly, then grinned with gleaming confidence.

“Spoilin’ a storm, yuh say? Girl… dis debut gon’ be your wake-up call.”

She tapped her chest.

“Mi name Keisha. Rememba it when yuh pickin’ yourself up off di mat.”

DING DING!!

The bell rang—and Keisha stepped in immediately, raising her arms. Her feet planted firm. Shoulders squared. She went for the collar-and-elbow lock-up, testing Raina’s strength right out the gate.

And oh, she was grinning—
Because this wasn’t gonna be easy.
This was gonna be fun.

[Bare]

While initially nervous about how large and muscular her opponent was compared to previous foes Raina was doing her best to push it down and step up to the debuting heavyweight. After all while Keisha may have been big, so was Raina and she could handle someone her size!

"Tch Keisha smeisha, won't matter once I've squashed you." Raina said with a low growl as she and Keisha stepped towards one another and locked up in a classic collar and elbow tie up!

Sucking a breath in as she did so Raina would grit her teeth and push back against Keisha with everything she had, refusing to let herself be beaten by this debuting wrestler! "Grahhhh!" Raina roared out, pressing her chest against Keisha's own as she tried to gradually bully the woman back towards a corner!

[Weonna]

Keisha’s grin never faltered, even as Raina growled and slammed into her with full force. Their thick frames collided—muscle to muscle, chest to chest—as the two brawny women locked up in a battle of strength and will.

Raina roared, trying to drive her back, but Keisha’s boots dug in, her body holding like a damn mountain. That smirk of hers only grew wider.

“Dat all yuh got? Push harder, mama!”

With a sudden surge of power, Keisha exploded forward—a controlled, dominant burst that would send Raina stumbling backward. Keisha shifted her hips, dropped her center of gravity, and powered through the lock-up, eventually driving Raina down to one knee and then planting her face-first to the mat with sheer force.

THUD.

Keisha stood tall over her and snapped her arms wide in a big flex, biceps popping as she tilted her head with a cocky grin.

“A storm nuh move easy, girl.”

She backed off slowly, inviting Raina up with a quick wave of her fingers.

“Come again.”

Raina stood back up, flushed with heat and pride, and the two circled once more.

Keisha moved in again, tying up—and this time she immediately pressed forward, trying to drive Raina toward the ropes, her arms pressing tight, her chest mashing into Raina’s as she brought the pressure up a notch.

[Bare]

Raina grunted and groaned in exertion as she pushed and shoved against Keisha, but damn it if the woman wasn't near impossible to budge and get an advantage over. Worse yet however was when Keisha suddenly surged, taking Raina off balance and knocking her down to the mat face first as a result! "Ugh!" Raina cried hold, head shooting up while holding her face in pain before glaring at the woman before her as she dared to mock her.

"Grrr you want more!? I'll bring more!" Raina growled out, punching the mat as she got back up to her feet and locked back up with Keisha immediately, pushing and grappling with the woman and this time she found herself getting pushed into the ropes!

Knowing she had to play this smart Raina would try and pivot on her foot at the last moment, hoping to turn the two around at the last second, and trying to make sure Keisha was the one who hit the ropes back first! Should she manage this then Raina would try and use her slight height advantage to push forward on Keisha, trying to bend the woman over the top rope if she was able too!

[Weonna]

Keisha gritted her teeth as she drove Raina back toward the ropes, her strength on full display as she pressed forward. But just as she was about to slam Raina fully into them—Raina pivoted.

“Tch—!”

Keisha’s back hit the ropes instead with a soft whip of tension. Her arms were still locked with Raina’s, but now the taller woman had the leverage. Keisha let out a grunt as she was bent backward slightly, her back pressing over the top rope while Raina used her reach and mass to press down.

The referee rushed in, slapping the count on.

“ONE! TWO! THREE—”

Keisha’s glare shot daggers into Raina’s eyes. Her lips curled into a snarl.

“Alright… yuh wan’ be slick, huh?”

As soon as the ref barked for the break—

THWACK!

Keisha snapped her knee up, driving it deep into Raina’s gut just as the hold was released. It wasn’t legal. It wasn’t clean. But it was effective.

Keisha shoved her opponent backward and stepped off the ropes, cracking her knuckles with a scowl.

The crowd gave a mix of boos and cheers as Keisha stalked in, ready to press the advantage with a follow-up strike.

[Bare]

Raina smirked widely as she managed to successfully switch things around and get Keisha into the ropes, bending her backwards over them and putting some pressure early on. When in doubt in terms of power, always rely on tactics and strategy to make up the difference, this was something even Raina knew.

However the damn referee would come in and force a break making Raina roll her eyes. "Oh come on Re-UGH!" Raina's complaining was soon cut off as she suffered a sudden rising knee strike directly into her gut!

'Damn that's cheap.' Raina thought to herself as she stumbled backwards, holding her stomach and trying not to lose her lunch. 'Crap crap crap!' Raina thought to herself, looking up and seeing Keisha stalk her way towards her.

'Wait I.. I can maybe use this.' Raina thought to herself sucking a breath in and once Keisha got close enough, hopefully still believing Raina was helpless Raina would then step forward suddenly, pulling one of her fists up as she did so, aiming to drive a uppercut right into Keisha's stomach in retaliation!

[Weonna]

Keisha closed the distance with that slow, predatory swagger, eyes locked on Raina like she was already hers to finish. She reached out, ready to grab hold—

“OOF—!!”

Raina’s fist shot up like a cannon, driving deep into Keisha’s midsection. The blow blasted the air from her lungs instantly. Her eyes went wide, lips parting in a sharp gasp as her arms instinctively wrapped around her stomach.

Keisha staggered back a couple of steps, shoulders hunched forward as she sucked in a desperate breath.

The crowd roared at the payback shot, and Keisha’s confident grin had been wiped clean off—replaced by a grimace that showed Raina had found a soft spot.

She straightened up slowly, breathing heavy, eyes narrowing at her opponent with a new edge of respect—and irritation.

[Bare]

Despite the pain she was in Raina had enough grit in her to swing her arm up and drive a uppercut into Keisha's abdomen with a hard uppercut! Smirking a bit in response at this Raina would stand back up fully and see the expression from her opponent but Raina was unafraid of poking the bear.

"Whats wrong Mon? Scare?" Raina asked very deliberately mocking her foe's accent before stepping forward and swinging her arm around, aiming to try and drive her forearm directly into Keisha's chest for a forearm smash!
