DDT had made their entrance to the sounds and fanfare of a roaring crowd. Thousands and thousands of fans in the arena welcomed the Tatsumi's with cheers abound. And even more fans watching at home celebrated the beginning of what was to be the biggest match of Annette and Haruka's blossoming careers as a pro wrestling tag team!
The main event of a LAW show in the Yokohama arena seemed to be the perfect time and place for such a match. Being of Japanese heritage, themselves, made the crowd quite receptive to DDT! The fog, the posing, the prop spears, the posing at the top of the ladder, the titles held high above the ring, not to mention Haruka's acrobatic display- the anticipation and atmosphere surrounding this match made it feel like it could very well be LAW's match of the year!
As DDT's hyped/amped-up entrance music faded out and as the pair of sisters took their place in their corner, the giant monitor in the arena would show the champion trio on their way to the go position to get ready for their entrance. Katherine wore one of the title belts around her waist. Aurora wore the other golden belt over her shoulder. Tracy, though she wasn't participating in the match, seemed bent on accompanying her fellow tag champs!
"' 'Rora quit worrying so much! You always wanna "think things through" and all that, but don'tcha think you're overthinking this match just a bit?" Tracy would say as she walked ahead and started walking backwards so that she could face and address her teammates.
"Absolutely not! The Tatsumi's are quite good at acting like they're aloof, especially Haruka. But it IS an act! I don't believe for one second that they didn't know exactly what match they wanted from us the moment we won these titles. And I don't doubt that they have a plan they fully intend to put into action against us tonight..." Estrella retorted in a bit of a whiny tone. She'd soon recoil and follow up in a more worried tone.
"Also, the pointy spears don't help...you know I'm not good with pointy things...I wish they weren't legal in this match." Aurora would shudder. But soon Katherine would cut in and hook her arms over both of her tag partner's shoulders. The Super Kitty wore a big smile on her face.
" 'Rora! Trace! Don't be so tense! This is exactly what our open challenge is about, yeah? Annette and Haruka have a pretty strong home-field advantage. And even if we're the more experienced team, if there's one match they absolutely have the edge over us in, it's a ladder match. But the crowd loves us, too! And our best high flyer helped us train up in preparation for this, right Trace?" Tracy would flex and nod as their team's theme song began to start up. The opening drum beat riled up the crowd right away!
"DDT aims the capture the belts and shock the world by showing up to the next PPV as the new tag team champions! They've got a lot to prove but so do we! We are the best tag team and the best stable in the world! Tonight we're gonna prove that by retaining the belts! And we're also gonna prove that LAW has the best tag wrestling that pro wrestling has to offer! And we're gonna do that by giving DDT the best match of their careers!"
"Here here!" Aurora would agree.
"Darn right!"
The feed would cut out and within half a minute, the crowd would all be singing The SWAT Cats theme song. Humming the iconic tune in unison as spotlights lit up the stage at the top of the entrance ramp! The lights up line up and reveal Kat, Aurora, and Tracy hitting one of their signature team poses with Katherine balancing her partners as each of them sat on her sizable biceps! After a few seconds, Kat would step forwards and Tracy and Aurora would dismount from the arms of The Super Kitty! They'd pose together as a group. Kat and Tracy would flex as Aurora held up both golden belts. Purple, pink, and white pyro would fill the air above them in the shape of a cat face as their theme song continued to enliven the audience! Though Haruka and Annette were cheered just as loudly, and though there was a strong desire to see them capture the belts tonight, The SWAT Cats remained favorites among the audience watching tonight!
The trio would high-five fans as they made their way down the ramp. Eventually, Katherine and Aurora would hand the belts to Tracy, who would walk around the ring and take her place at the commentary table nearby.
"Jim! And the other announcers! How y'all doing? You ready to see DDT get D-D-Defeated by the best tag team in the world?! I mean they'll have an amazing showing, I'm sure. We haven't slept on them. But The SWAT Cats heckin got this!!!" As the most boisterous among the Cats, Tracy yucked it up on commentary. The staff seemed to love it.
Meanwhile, Kat and Aurora would climb into the steel steps and step into the ring. Kat would hold the ropes open for Aurora. They eyed the ladders set up at ringside before directing their attention to their challengers. Confident smiles found their way onto the faces of the two champions competing tonight as the announcer stepped up to introduce the champions!
"And next, the champions! The team of, one of the finalists in the first-ever Last Woman Standing Tournament! The "face" of the company! The Ssssssuuuuuuuper Kitty! Katherine Hart!"
"And! Currently undefeated in both singles and tag team competition! She is the Gaaaaalaxy Cat! Aurora Estrella!"
"At a combined weight of 282 pounds! They! Are two-thirds of the Inaugural World Tag Team Ccchhhhhaaaaampions! THE SWWWWWAAAAAAAAT CAAAAAATS!!!!!"
The audience roared in approval and Katherine and Aurora scaled the turnbuckles and motioned to the audience as they were introduced! Tracy would hold up the tag belts from ringside as the announcer added one last addendum.
"The winners of this contest will become or remain the tag team champions!"
Soon, Kat and Aurora would have their feet back on the canvas. They'd approach the challengers. Both luchadoras would offer their fists for a fist bump in a display of sportsmanship just before the bell.
"Annette, Haruka. Do you wanna show the world that you have what it takes to be champions at the greatest wrestling company there is?" Kat would ask as if beckoning the pair to make their dreams a reality.
"Then give us your best, yeah? Show the us that you have what it takes to hang with and to beat the best in the world!" Aurora would follow up.
After exchanging words with the champions, the pair would back up towards their side of the ring. With no disqualifications and no tag rules set in place, it was all about to go down. When the bell rang, both luchadoras would make a beeline for their opponents! Katherine would aim to lock up with Haruka while Aurora would look to slide between Haruka's legs and pop up behind her before flipping back to attempt a Pele Kick to start things off!
