The First Annual LAW Rumble!

[Lunaspark]

The crowd in the LAW Arena was packed. They were abuzz, ready for the evening's main event to begin. There had been a couple undercard matches already, but the real reason they were here was about to begin: LAW's first ever rumble event. It was a big deal for the company, with a lot of hype being built over the months leading up to it, and even though it was on the smaller end of rumble-style matches, the crowd was hot and fired up, ready for the match to finally start.

Standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in her hand and a smile on her face was LAW's new event coordinator, the woman who had put this entire rumble together, one Sylvia Smith, and raising the microphone to her lips she began to speak...

"Ladies and gentlemen and all those in-between! I want to welcome you to LAW's first ever Rumble! I'll keep my speech brief. This match has been a long time coming, and I know all of you are eager for it to begin. I'm sure all of our ladies backstage are ready for it too, so I'll just say this and then get out of their way: Every woman in this match was chosen for their skill, talent, and drive, and every one of them is prepared to put on a hell of a show for you all tonight!"

"Now, just as a brief reminder of the rules? Two women will start the match, and every few minutes another woman will join them. When a competitor goes over the top rope and has their feet hit the floor, they are eliminated. The last woman left standing in the ring is the winner. Simple enough."

"Now, with that out of the way? Let's get our first two women out here, and then LET'S RUMBLE!"

With that said, Sylvia gestured to the arena's entrance, the first competitor's music beginning to play to herald her arrival...

Thirteen told her that ravens in England were somewhat of a good luck charm according to a legend of the Tower of London...however, it seemed that her Raven motif only carried the misfortune that it represented in other cultures.

Herself as well as her fellow starting opponent had the most difficult task ahead of them in trying to win this battle royale, while trying to remain standing for the longest time. Chika was a little bit nervous about her chances. Her win/loss record in 2021 was mixed to say the least, and she hoped the Rumble would lead her to success:

"But think about it from this point of view...", Thirteen would say, finger pointed upwards: "Win this and not only are you just "the winner of LAW Rumble", you are an Iron Woman who survived the toughest challenge in the company!"

If there was anything Chika appreciated in her manager, it was her unfaltering sense of optimism. Calmed down, she nodded and stood up from her bench, and go towards the gorilla position, to get ready for her entrance.

Her theme would play as she came down the entrance ramp in her usual Raven armor. Thirteen accompanied her from the side. Nothing in the rules prevented help from eliminations, though Chika hoped it wouldn't be necessary. Soon she entered the ring, and took off her armor, lifting it high up in the air, before giving to her manager to set it down at a corner at ringside.

Chika would do a few last minute stretches as she awaited her first opponent tonight...

With Chika's entrance the event was finally starting and the audience was excited to see who came next, thankfully they didn't have to wait long as soon the next entrants music started playing. Upon hearing the familiar music fans would start cheering in anticipation a few seconds before Momo Kazan burst out from the gorilla position, her hands waving excitedly in the air as she greeted her fans. This was the girl's first time participating in a big LAW event so her fans were quite excited for her performance, though at the same time there were a few that were hoping to see Momo pull off an upset and win the whole thing so they were a little disappointed that she was one of the opening fighters. Though Momo herself didn't seem to be too bothered by this disadvantage, or if she was then it didn't show on her face as she flashed a dazzling smile for everyone watching.

After making her arrival Momo would start jogging down the ramp, giving out high fives and fist bumps along the way and even stopping to snap a quick picture with a fan. Soon she'd climb into the ring and come face to face with her fellow opener Chika Igarashi, giving the woman a sly grin "Hey there Chika! You ready to take flight and give these guys a show?" she would ask, not able to help but slip a bird pun into her greeting. As the two women exchanged greetings while they waited for the rumble to begin Momo would start bouncing on the balls of her feet, seemingly unable to stay still in anticipation of the event while flashing a grin that betrayed her child-like excitement of the action to come.

Her opponent would arrive, incredibly positive and optimistic as she jogged down to the ring, while announcer announced Momo to the crowd...Chika taking her time trying to remember where she heard of her opponent before.

Once she arrived and Momo spoke, Chika finally remembered: "Oh, the joker lady from twitter!", she said outloud, before regaining her senses and getting mind back on the match:

"Be careful I don't send you flying over the top rope!", Chika would say with a smile herself, as the referee called for the bell...

DING DING DING!

And the LAW Rumble would officially begin!

Chika would rush quickly rush towards Momo, attempting to go for a hard, powerful offence from the word "go", trying to swing her leg into her rival's side!

As Momo finally faced Chika and greeted her the dark haired woman would be silent for a moment before finally realising who Momo was "Pfft! Hahahaha! Well you're not wrong!" Momo would remark, seemingly quite amused that that would be how she was recognised by one of her fellow LAW wrestlers. Chika would then refute Momo's earlier comment with a bird pun of her own, promising to send her 'flying' over the rope "Hehe, good one!" The pre-match banter between the two of them only seemed to make Momo all the more excited for this contest, even if they had only shared a few jokes and remarks Chika seemed to be an opponent that Momo felt would be fun to share a ring with, even if they weren't gonna be alone in the ring for all that long.

Momo wouldn't have too long to dwell on how she felt on her opponent though since the referee would soon call for the bell and Chika would look to get things off to a swift start, charging in and aiming a kick for Momo's side. Momo would quickly jump back so that she was out of the range of Chika's leg, only to step back in a second later in the hopes of lashing out at Chika's supporting leg to trip her up "Yah!"

Despite the lightheartedness in the two women's interactions so far, Chika was not going to let Momo off the hook, aiming to give it her all in the next few minutes of the match, until the next competitor popped up.

Still, her rash tactic didn't yield much results, as Momo jumped away from the Raven Knight, Momo countering with a low kick to Chika's supporting leg!

"Ah!", she let out, just as much in surprise over being on her rear as to the slight pain she felt in her leg, trying to quickly climb back up to her feet before Momo's next move!

A satisfied smile found its way onto the face of Momo as the young fighter successfully managed to attain first blood in the match by avoiding Chika's opening attack and sweeping her leg out from under her. This wouldn't keep Chika down for long at all though, so as soon as she had succeeded Momo would be looking to follow up with another attack; a roundhouse kick aimed at the side of Chika's head! Or at least the space where Momo estimated her head would be by the time she was half risen anyway "Haiyah!"

[Vc0m]

Momo's estimation would prove to be correct...had Chika herself not anticipated her foe's attack. While rising, the moment Chika saw Momo lifting her leg for her next move lead the Raven Knight to duck back down to a crouch, Momo's leg sweeping right above her head.

To follow up on the missed kick, Chika would outstretch her left leg towards Momo, before trying to sweep her rival's legs from under her!

[pikazard]

Momo swung her leg in an arc for a kick that had the potential to knock Chika straight down to the mat and leave her with stars dancing around her head, potential that would never be reached as Chika would halt her ascent and duck down under her leg "Wah!?!" Before Momo could recover from this blunder Chika would lash out and give the girl a taste of her own medicine with a leg sweep "Ugh!" Momo cried out as her ass hit the mat, stunned slightly from the impact as she was now sat vulnerably in front of Chika. What Chika did with this opportunity remained to be seen.

[Vc0m]

With Momo down on her rear, Chika would quickly rise to her feet, and rush to the opposite side of the ring to rebound from ropes. From there, she would rush back at her seated opponent, and jump early, looking to aim low with a Dropkick on Momo's chest!
