The crowd roared in anticipation as the lights dimmed in the L.A.W. arena
Theodora "The Muscle Bear" Johnson paced backstage, rolling her broad shoulders and flexing her powerful arms. She had been on a tear since her debut, a three-match winning streak that left her with both a growing fanbase and an even greater set of eyes watching her every move.
But tonight felt different. She had heard the rumors. L.A.W. had handpicked someone special for her—someone they believed could end her reign of dominance. The thought didn’t sit well with her as she was determined to extend the streak.
Tonight was going to be a test, and Theodora was ready to crush anyone who stood in her way.
"Ladies and gentlemen, entering the ring… standing at 6 feet tall and weighing in at 196 pounds of pure muscle, it's... THE MUSCLE BEAR, THEODORA JOHNSON!"
Theodora
Theme Music
The lights flashed back on, and Theodora's entrance music blared through the speakers—a heavy, rock-driven anthem. The crowd erupted as she walked down the ramp, her gaze focused solely on the ring. She entered with ease, taking her time to flex her arms to the delight of the crowd.
Theodora grabbed the mic from the ring announcer, her voice booming across the arena.
"L.A.W. keeps throwing challengers at me, and I keep knocking them down. Three matches. Three victories. Tonight, the streak continues. So, whoever L.A.W. sent to try and stop me… get your ass out here!"
The lights in the arena dimmed once again. The crowd murmured, waiting to see who would challenge Theodora's dominance.
Theodora stood tall in the ring, cracking her neck, her eyes narrowing toward the entrance. She was ready for anything. Or so she thought...
Before this day came, Garlim had a close match with the Black Pearl, Ambre Brault. A match that made her reflect on some things, maybe wrestling wasn't so bad after all, she had a lot of fun for the first time since debuting in LAW. But to improve her stay, she took Oscar's advice and worked on improving her fitness. In the company of her fellow Roster member, popular actress and professional wrestler Anna Sigrid, she sought psychological help and trained to learn how she could play a good role on the circuit.
It had certainly been a hectic few days, but the goddess of war could say that she was finally ready to be in LAW. But before she had to renew her look for this stage, Snow wanted to offer her a job done by Harmonya, but Garlim really knew what she needed. So she called her old friend who was currently having success as a wrestler in China, so she could send him a good outfit.
Now that she had her new wrestling outfit, all that was left was to change that horrendous entrance theme she had been assigned in the first place. After going through the gallery, she simply chose the most recent one she could find for the theme. The process took about a whole week, however to no one's surprise, she saw no room for a decent rival.
The goddess of war did not want to face just anyone, she wanted an opponent who would put her skills to the test as Ambre had done. Now that she knew she could find strong opponents in LAW, she wasn't going to settle for anything less. Luckily for her, her old friend pulled some strings to get LAW management to find a good opponent. Although most of the relevant names were taken, there was one girl who was standing out for her strength lately, and the best part, she was available!
The day came, Garlim hoped her next opponent would be up to the task.
"And her opponent! From Amsterdam, Holland! She is 5'11, weighs 185 pounds... She is the three-time MMA champion, A wild warrior determined to make her name high on the circuit!!! The Proclaimed “GODDESS OF WAR”… GARLIM IVANNAAAA!!!!” When the audience heard his name, it didn't take long for them to boo all over the stage. However, Garlim wouldn't care much, she simply wanted to feel the excitement burning in her veins! New Entrance Theme
Spoiler
The screams of the audience would immediately be diminished before her new theme, Garlim walked out calmly, with her fascinating and at the same time imposing curvaceous figure. With a cute smile etched on his face, she stretched both arms out to the sides, and making a reference or perhaps a provocation, she flexed her arms that immediately doubled in thickness until they reached a size similar to Theodora's while her six pack was slightly marked.
Her hips quivered with each step, suddenly making some spectators howl as she approached the ring. She was told it was important to make a good entrance, and apparently she got some looks. Maybe the new outfit gave her some luck.
She climbed into the ring quickly, stepping under the ropes, maintaining her smile and a look that, unlike on previous occasions, reflected more excitement and determination. But she wasn't going to proceed without first walking to the center of the ring and grabbing the microphone “Hm.... So you were expecting a good opponent today too, huh? You said you were undefeated. I'm not one to do promos, or that sort of thing that pro wrestlers do so often.... Like you. But, I hope we can have a good match today.” She left the microphone to the ref, proceeding to go to her corner as the crowd booed her to no end.
The energy in the arena was palpable, with the crowd still buzzing from Garlim’s entrance. Her powerful and imposing figure had captivated some, while others responded with loud boos. Garlim’s new look, attitude, and confidence clearly shook things up in the L.A.W. universe, and her opponent for tonight, Theodora "The Muscle Bear" Johnson, wasn’t going to let it slide without addressing the situation.
Theodora grabbed the microphone after Garlim finished her short promo and confidently walked to the center of the ring, her eyes narrowing on her opponent. The Muscle Bear was in no mood for pleasantries.
"Garlim, I see you've got the look down, and you’ve got that fire in your eyes, but let me make one thing clear."
She paused, letting the words settle in before continuing.
"This isn’t MMA. This is *professional wrestling*. And I don’t care how many titles you’ve won in cages or how tough you think you are. In this business, it’s not just about strength or skill—it’s about the fans. It’s about giving them something to cheer for or even something to hate. They’re the reason we’re in this ring. They’re the ones who make this possible."
The crowd began to cheer loudly at Theodora’s words, backing her up. Theodora smiled knowing that she has the fans at the palm of her hands as her eyes never leaving Garlim as she continued.
"You say you don’t do promos. Well, guess what? You’re in the wrong business if you think you can ignore the fans. You want to prove yourself? You want to feel the excitement? You want to be in L.A.W.? Then you better understand one thing: these fans pay to see us in this ring, and without them, we’re nothing. They’re the ones we fight for!"
The crowd erupted again, chanting Theodora's name as she lowered the mic for a second, pacing around Garlim before continuing.
"So, let’s give them a show. You want a strong opponent? You’ve got one. But tonight, you’ll learn what it really means to be in L.A.W. Let’s see if you can handle the pressure. Let’s see if you can hang with The Muscle Bear!"
Theodora tossed the microphone to the side, her face set with determination as she stepped back into her corner. The crowd roared in anticipation, and the atmosphere was thick with excitement.
The referee signaled for the bell, and the match was on...
As the deafening roar of the crowd enveloped her, Garlim couldn't help but feel a pang of unease. Theodora's words rang true. The fans are the lifeblood of the wrestling industry, for as Garlim mentions from time to time, this is merely a cheap show. The goddess of war had yet to really grasp that concept. But she wouldn't let that stop her from giving them what she does best, and that's giving a tough fight to any of her rivals, the living definition of power in its purest state.
Yes, she's not made for showomanship, but that doesn't mean there aren't people out there who don't marvel at the sight of her fighting. And that was demonstrated in her last match, where the spectators were stunned by the strength and power she was able to exert in the ring. A woman as strong and dominant as Garlim, if she has attributes that can make her shine with good quality in a circus show like this.
(“That's good advice, let's see how I'll put it into practice with you... Doormat...”) She said to herself before the bell rang, with a fierce gaze fixed on her determined opponent.
The goddess of war started walking to the center of the ring, perhaps charging at Theodora would be a good way to start. Stripping away the large, sunflower-shaped mane that Garlim had for hair, the muscular bear should be a bit bigger than she was. At the temptation to measure her strength against her, she quickly raised her hands forward and charged in a powerful burst, which perhaps Theodora could reciprocate with her own strength.
As the bell rang, the tension in the air was almost palpable. Garlim’s fierce gaze locked onto Theodora, and without hesitation, she started to march toward the center of the ring. Her mind replayed Theodora’s words, and while she was no showman, she knew one thing: she was a fighter, and she was ready to test herself against Theodora's power!
The goddess of war raised her hands, preparing for a test of strength. She charged forward with a powerful burst, aiming to collide with Theodora and measure her own might against the Muscle Bear. Theodora, however, was prepared. As Garlim rushed in, Theodora stood her ground and intercepted the charge with an almighty push! Spoiler
The force of Theodora's counterattack shocked the crowd as The goddess of war would be knocked off balance and sent stumbling back, her body hitting the mat with a heavy thud. The audience gasped, the unexpected sight of Garlim being knocked down sending waves of excitement through the arena.
Theodora didn't give Garlim a moment to recover. Capitalizing on her advantage, she charged forward, using her powerful frame to push Garlim back onto the mat. With a determined grunt, Theodora grabbed Garlim by the shoulders and shoved her into the turnbuckles with raw force. Spoiler
"You want to test your strength? Let's see how much you can take!"
Without giving Garlim a chance to regroup, Theodora slammed her into the turnbuckles once more. The crowd cheered as Theodora continued to bounce Garlim against the turnbuckles, her raw strength on full display! Spoiler
Garlim's onslaught would be reciprocated by the muscle bear, although not in the way she expected, as her opponent sent her face first to the canvas with a good push. “Ohhh!” moaned Garlim as soon as she felt that she had slammed into a fucking car.
The crowd erupted in cheers for Theodora, while Garlim was already lying on the canvas. The blonde wasn't going to stay on the canvas for long and Theodora knew it, so as soon as she got up, she pushed her back down to the canvas with a loud thud. If Theodora wanted to show her power and how strong she was, she had succeeded.
If that wasn't enough, she would quickly grab Garlim by the shoulders and throw her hard into the turnbuckles. Not since she had arrived at LAW had the goddess of war been so manipulated as she was at this moment, Theodora seemed to go into a state of euphoria with each lashing. “Hufff!” Theodora's sudden blow to plunge Garlim between the turnbuckles would take her breath away all at once, however and at the same time, this was filling Garlim with excitement. This was just what she was looking for, someone to make him fight for real!
Seizing the opportunity as soon as Theodora rammed her again, Garlim quickly in a burst of adrenaline, reversed positions by grabbing Theodora by the head and slamming her into the turnbuckles. Placing Theodora against the ropes, Garlim proceeded to ram her in the same way, as if she were an enraged bull!
With the first impact, she would try to drive her hips into the corner of the ring. Garlim stepped back and brought her face close to her opponent's “You're really intense, you better enjoy it” Garlim whispers in Theodora's ear, before taking her head in her arms and falling backwards to slam the muscle bear to the canvas.
Garlim's counter came out of nowhere, and with a burst of adrenaline, she reversed their positions, grabbing Theodora by the head and slamming her face-first into the turnbuckles. The audience gasped at the sudden shift, stunned by Garlim’s power as she sent Theodora crashing into the corner.
Garlim wasted no time, ramming her hips into Theodora's midsection, driving her deep into the corner. Each impact seemed to shake the ring, the crowd now on their feet as the match reached a new intensity.
With that, she swiftly took Theodora's head in her arms and, with a powerful yank, fell backward, slamming the Muscle Bear onto the canvas with a devastating move. The impact echoed through the arena as Theodora hit the mat hard, the force of the slam leaving her momentarily dazed. The crowd roared, impressed by Garlim’s raw strength!
But even as Theodora lay stunned, the goddess of war knew she couldn’t let her guard down. The Muscle Bear wasn’t one to stay down for long as she could get up at a moment's notice!
The goddess of war's transition of movements actually turned out to be quite successful. Apparently the brief wrestling training sessions she had with some of her teammates helped her learn a few tricks when it came to using the ropes. Garlim would sit on her knees next to Theodora, although this would be a good moment to execute a key like the Lionkill or a simple rear naked choke, she was clear that she had to offer a good show to the public.
This time she decided to give herself the luxury of giving her opponent a chance to recover, so she kept watching Theodora, while patting her on the back a few times to encourage her to get up. "Come on Doormat, you asked me if I could measure up. Don't go falling down right now" Garlim said playfully.
The war goddess stood up perky and ready to anticipate any move from the Muscle Bear, she would let her show off to a certain extent before trying to employ herself too thoroughly.
Besides, considering what happened in their previous bout, they were both too close to the ropes to be able to put Theodora in a good headlock.

Theodora didn’t take kindly to being toyed with. As Garlim stood there, Theodora suddenly jolted to her feet with a burst of energy and fury. With a swift kick to Garlim's stomach, Theodora doubled her over, then followed up with a barrage of heavy fists. Each blow hammered into Garlim, driving her back toward the turnbuckles. The crowd roared as Theodora went on the offensive, her strength on full display as she pounded Garlim with stiff punches.
Garlim would find herself backed against the turnbuckles. Theodora wasn’t done yet as she grabbed Garlim by the arm, she whipped her hard across the ring, sending her crashing into the opposite turnbuckles. The impact reverberated through Garlim's body, and before she could recover, Theodora charged at her like a freight train, aiming to ram her shoulder into Garlim’s midsection.
The crowd was on their feet, cheering as Theodora looked to make her next big move! Spoiler
Garlim would be met with a hard kick that bent her forward, a somewhat surprising maneuver no doubt. Although the blonde really didn't have that much experience in pro wrestling, the punch she received made it clear the tone Theodora wanted to set. And that was an area in which Garlim had a lot of experience!
After receiving the first blow, the goddess of war raised both arms in front of her to absorb the following blows. “Aaaargh, wha...” She raised her elbows a couple of times to repel a couple of blows and tilted her head to the side to dodge a few more. As much as she hated to admit it, Theodora's offensive was pushing her back into the turnbuckles, a moment that perhaps Garlim would take advantage of again to tip the scales in her favor, as she had done before.
As soon as she came to rest against the turnbuckles, Garlim would see the opportunity to counterattack with a good blow. But surprisingly the muscle bear would have anticipated, grabbing her by the arm and whipping her hard to the other end of the ring. Although Theodora had used a lot of force to throw her into the other corner, Garlim was quick enough to reverse the roles. She grabbed Theodora's wrist and as soon as she was pulled, the goddess of war pulled hard and the momentum added up to pull the muscle bear even harder.
She would then run towards her at almost the same speed as she threw her, to deliver a blunt knee to the midsection.
