"Grahh!" Ashley was panting heavily, storming through the curtains into the backstage area, her music theme still playing back in the main arena. The Red Menace staggered a few steps before stopping to rest with one hand pressed against the wall. She took a moment to catch her breath.
"Fuck...huff... huff... me..." Right at that moment, one staff member approached her. "Hey, Ash! Great match tonight!"
"Why, thank you!" a sarcastic reply, immediately followed by Ashley's true response, "Now... get the fuck out of my face!" The person quickly walked away, looking confused. Ashley was in no mood for talking with anyone, but then again... When was she ever?
The Red Menace made her way toward the locker room, kicking the door open while holding her midsection with both hands. When she entered, only two other people remained inside, rookies from the "Young Lioness" program, who were packing their belongings before leaving, and seemingly hurrying up the moment they saw Ashley walking in. The redhead paid no attention to them; she was too exhausted to be raging about random nonsense. Ashley went directly to the bench right next to her locker, sitting instantly and leaning her back against the wall for support while taking a long breath. Ashley was fresh out of her match of the night- She was booked against another wrestler named "La Diabla", a Mexican striker who had proved to be quite a nuisance for the redhead, landing several strikes on Ashley throughout the match. However, a well-timed counter and a perfectly executed "Crimson Fall" saw the Red Menace victorious in the encounter, but her body bore the aftermath of the tough fight:
The skin on Ashley's chest was red, and her torso and arms were covered with several bruises. A thick layer of sweat ran through her entire being, with red locks from her hair falling in front of her face, sticking to her cheeks and forehead. She had a notorious limp that almost kept her from even leaving the ring. Moving even a single finger felt like hell... "Fuck... that girl!" Ashley cursed her opponent once more, almost wishing she had taken the time to punish her longer.
There was no point in thinking about any of that now, she had won and that's all that mattered... Now, she only had to make sure to... survive...
Ashley gathered what little strength she had left and made a titanic effort to stand up again. She removed her wet top, revealing a black sports bra underneath. She proceeded to open her locker to take out a towel, and then Ashley covered her entire head with it, rubbing off the sweat from her face and hair. Momentarily losing sight of her surroundings.
