A Championship match to cross divisions! A super-showdown amongst equal giants in star-power, fame and fortitude! This is an elimination style match with eliminations scored by Pinfall, Knockout or Submission. There are no count-outs, so NO ESCAPES! To win and prove yourself to the openweight mantle, you must be the last wrestler remaining. Good luck.

Re: MAIN EVENT! Astrid Arvidsson (C) vs Yumie Hayashi vs Alizeh Midori vs Clara Gaster for the LAW Openweight Title
Yumie was a little irritated coming into a match she should be excited for. When she beat Charlotte, she thought her match against Astrid would be one on one, a straightforward fight where she would slay the golden dragon, but now things were much more complicated with an additional two women standing in her way, one of whom she hated. The only good news about the additional competition was the chance to put Alizeh in her rightful place. Under her boot!
This match may have been about the title, but Yumie was going to make sure she beat Alizeh worse than a certain middleweight champion, to once again make sure the green haired woman's dreams were crushed before she went on to live her own and beat Astrid. The Japanese woman had just finished putting on her new ring gear. It was more complex than her old one, having a few more pieces and not being a single two piece, instead being a one piece with additional parts.
And for the final piece, Yumie reached up onto the shelf of her locker and grabbed it before placing it on her face. A mask, not one she would wear during a match, but a nice fox like mask to wear during her grand entrance.
Yumie was ready, eager, her anger and irritation would only fuel her conquest, even if she had to make every single woman in the match submit, nothing was going to stop her, not the Blonde Champion, not Clara Gaster, not even that green haired bitch! Yumie fixed her hair, making the style a bit different and keeping it tied up instead of her usual long, freely flowing hairstyle.
Leaving the locker room, Yumie's mind couldn't help but think of all the pain she was going to put Alizeh through, but also winning the belt and beating Astrid as well, a fitting reward for her efforts in the Japanese woman's mind. Getting to the curtain, Yumie's music began to play almost right on cue. Stepping past it and onto the stage, the Japanese woman was focused solely on the ring, not even stopping to take in the crowd until she reached it.
Sliding in under the bottom rope, Yumie decided to give the crowd the attention they craved. Walking to her corner, Yumie climbed to the turnbuckle and grabbed her mask, removing it to reveal her pretty face before tossing it towards the referee outside the ring, who barely caught it. The Japanese woman got a chuckle out of the Zebra stripped referee fumbling with her mask as she hopped down and turned around, looking towards the stage to see which of the women would come out next!

Re: MAIN EVENT! Astrid Arvidsson (C) vs Yumie Hayashi vs Alizeh Midori vs Clara Gaster for the LAW Openweight Title
Alizeh took a deep breath in anticipation. Tonight was the night. The night that she got the thing that she'd been hunting since the moment it was announced. The LAW Open weight title. Getting it however wouldn't be easy. Three woman stood in her way. Yumie Hayashi, a heavyweight brute who wouldn't be easily conquered by any means, not to mention the two had a bit of history, not much but it wasn't good history and would certainly mean the two would be targeting each other from the get go. Speaking of bad history however there was Clara Gaster also in this match.
Someone Alizeh wanted to be genuinely good friends with but that was no longer in the cards, things had soured between them and she knew Clara would have no issue with doing anything she could to thwart Alizeh. Finally there was Astrid Arvidsson, the champion herself. Ironically the one in this match Alizeh was on the best terms with. Granted maybe that's cause they knew each other the least but in the few interactions they did have they were positive.
But unfortunately Astrid had the gold Alizeh was craving more than anything, and that made her an enemy in Alizeh's book. With so much interpersonal drama going into the bout it'd be a difficult one to win, more like a war than a match, but Alizeh would win, she'd make sure of it. No way in hell could she ever let this opportunity slip through her fingers. Getting up and nodding to herself in anticipation Alizeh would stand and make her way to the entrance curtain now that Yumie's own entrance was finished.
Nodding her head a bit as the announcer went through her entrance it would finally be time, the crackle of lightning going through the colleseum. Before, thanks to some special effects, an actual crack of electricity arched through the air and hit the stage dead center! Then, from the plum of smoke that began rising as a result emerged a silhouette. Shadowed by the smoke for a moment green flames would then sprout up from where the lightning hit, illuminating the figure as none other than Alizeh Midori as her entrance song got going fully now!
Stepping past the flames Alizeh would be hit with lights and focus, revealing one other thing that was new tonight. Alizeh's outfit. Normally she sported a white two piece with orange trim and leopard print... But tonight she debuted a new look. One that seemed as though it combined a one piece with a two piece, a striking grey that contrasted her skin tone with golden orange and green accents, including a fur like back skirt attached to her tights, all while highlighting her powerful yet lean physique. It was Alizeh's evolution as a wrestler, and she'd made the debut for this look one of the biggest of her career!
Coming down the ramp with a confident gaze Alizeh would casually high five fans and rather than go straight to the ring she'd take a lap, high fiving fans and offering other brief interactions with them before finally getting onto the apron. Holding her arms out to pose for the crowd who cheered louder in response Alizeh would step between the ropes, hopping onto the corner and holding her arms out again, this time gesturing to her waist, showing what she was here for tonight before finally hopping down from the corner and turning with a glare towards Yumie, the feelings between the two being rather easy to read for anyone watching...
However the ref was quick to make their presence known, stepping into the center of the ring and giving both women pointed looks making Alizeh tsk before looking up at the entrance ramp. 'Heavyweight, then middle and now light... So that must mean she's coming down.' Alizeh thought to herself knowing who would be next, simultaneously excited yet also dreading it at the same time.

Re: MAIN EVENT! Astrid Arvidsson (C) vs Yumie Hayashi vs Alizeh Midori vs Clara Gaster for the LAW Openweight Title
"In..."
Clara remembered this morning as she woke up in her hotel room. She woke up early, wanting as much time as possible to feel the importance of the day ahead of her...and to try and calm her nerves before she drove to the Colosseum. She went to wash her face with cold water, to jolt herself awake...
...but, just for a moment, she thought her face looked a bit different in the mirror. Slightly sadder, less determined...and yet, a little bit more youthful.
Just like that, the image was gone.
"Out..."
She remembered sitting in taxi, driving over to the Colosseum, sitting in the back. In spite of the fact that she wanted to rent a car while in Italy, perhaps go a bit to other towns over, the management insisted she took a Taxi or more expensive means of transportation everywhere, in order to make the main eventer of their show look like a bigger star. She drifted briefly to sleep, and, feeling the car slowing down as they were pulling over into the parking lot, she looked out the window. They were heavily tinted at the back of the car, making it slightly more difficult to make out what was outside, and making it easier to see her own reflection.
...or rather, her old GASTER mask's.
"Huh?"
"Hm? Singorina Gaster?" the driver addressed her, looking at her from the rear view mirror, but Clara shook her head to let him know everything was alright, looking back into the tinted window to see her face, perfectly normal, if a bit nervous...
Once inside, she had greeted some of the higher ups of the company, and some of the familiar faces who were setting up the arena in the middle of the Colosseum. It was impressive at how LAW managed to restore the legendary ancient arena enough to house 10s of 1000s of people. Even if the very expensive gate wouldn't look massive, but the spectacle of wrestling within the arena where ancient Gladiators fought for glory was a sight to behold.
Soon enough, she was lead into her private locker room, leaving the Brit in peace to get changed and ready for the match. None of her rivals disturbed her in the meantime. Everything that was to be said, had been said a few weeks back, in Japan.
"...in...out..."
As Clara sat in her locker room, it was final 10 minutes to go before it was her turn to head to the Gorilla Position. With one last chance given, she decided to check her appearance in the mirror. As she was done remembering the...strange images she saw throughout the day, she was a little scared to look in the mirror...
...only to see herself, in her full attire, looking the best she possibly could before the main event for LAW Openweight title tonight.
But still...within her mind, she couldn't helped but see the unimpressive, grey-tights, pony-tailed Shadow Lord from just 7 years ago.
As she walked to the Gorilla position, she told herself that her legacy was set. No one remembered THAT Clara anymore. They remembered the woman who brought the challenge to the current Openweight champion, the woman who saved her girlfriend from the clutches of her arch enemy...
So why was it that she still felt guilt for the person that she was over 7 years ago? For the person who almost gave up on her chosen path, for the woman who almost gave up fighting after the fight got too tough?
And that wasn't all. Even if she clawed for a place back to challenge Astrid...there were still matches she lost between now and her previous title match. Naturally, she fought her heart out against the women who've done the same to her...or women she forced to do so, so she had no regrets remaining for any of those matches.
...but what if tonight was going to be another choke? She was going up against the top women of their division, in addition to the woman who has defeated her almost 2 years ago. This was absolutely going to be the hardest match of her career...
"Fuck this."
Clara rarely swore. But she was tired of this. Tired of putting herself down, especially when there was no one else who was doing so. She made herself into her own worst enemy over the past few months, thinking of the woman she was, not who she is now. She was tired of the memory lane. Bringing up the scared woman she was only fueled the self doubt...when the fact that she was already making her way to the ring in the main event in a freaking Colosseum made it clear that the scaredy cat grew into a fantastic wrestler who was going to win the LAW Openweight title tonight. To think anything less of her was to disrespect Alizeh, Yumi and Astrid, no matter how adversarial or friendly she might've been with any of the 3.
Tonight was going to be her night...and to make sure it started off right, she had a little surprise for both the crowd in Italy, and the LAW viewers at home:
The lights went out as the fog rolled onto the arena, before a different tune from even Clara's new theme song played on stage. Clara had a lot of explaining to do to get the rights to this song, especially after already putting a lot of money out to license out her brand new tune...but for tonight, this was a special occasion to use a particular song from one of the most famous men in the Britain.
David Bowie's Scary Monsters played on the arena to crowd cheers as the titantron showed Clara's signature mask...while the Shadow Lord herself walked onto the stage, wearing her signature mask. Despite the long show, the crowd still seemed to have enough energy left for the main event and even to cheer for Clara's "big fight" song. Everything helped to psyche the Brit up for the upcoming match, making her forget all the doubts she had not even a few minutes ago, as she confidently made her way down the ramp, laughing her signature maniacal laughter, before arriving at the ring, climbing onto the apron, before turning, looking at the large crowd around her...and taking off her mask, showcasing Clara Gaster, the lightweight representative in this epic 4-way match!
Finally, Clara threw her mask into the front row seats, before hopping inside the ring, spinning around as she posed like a mad scientist...before bowing to the Italian audience, as her theme quieted down.
There were a few moments of silence left...and one more participant needed to arrive to the ring. For Clara, she was the woman she NEEDED to defeat in this match to solidify her win as the Openweight champion...something that both Alizeh and Yumie would make sure was as difficult as possible for the Brit.
She looked at Alizeh with a confident gaze. She could tell, this was not the last match she would have against the greenette, whatever the result tonight would be. They had a score to settle with one another...and she herself still wanted to prove herself better of the two of them.
Yumie was another woman Clara thought she was going to need to fight one on one. She had a better luck fighting against heavyweights nowadays...and if she was going to prove to the fans that she was deserving to hold the Openweight title, even if Yumie lost tonight, she was a woman she would need to defend the belt against once more later...
...but first, she actually had to get the belt from the Champion...

Re: MAIN EVENT! Astrid Arvidsson (C) vs Yumie Hayashi vs Alizeh Midori vs Clara Gaster for the LAW Openweight Title
Punch!
Punch!!
Punch!!!
Waltzing around the punching bag, Astrid was warming up her muscles. She finished just in time and shifted her gaze to the TV screen.
The show has begun.
Yumie was the first to enter the top of the ramp to the applause of the audience. Astrid's heart began to beat a little faster, and a shudder ran through her body. This did not go unnoticed. Victoria, who had been silently watching the champion's warm-up all this time, adjusted her glasses.
“What is it?" She asked. “Are you nervous?”
“No...” Astrid replied with a slight smile. “I'm just looking forward to it!”
When the blonde looked at the manager, Victoria saw a flame in her ward's eyes. Of course, she was well aware of how fiery a temperament the descendant of the great Vikings possessed. She has never been afraid of a match, she has always been confident in her abilities. But now Victoria felt that something had changed. Something was different. Astrid looked much more excited than usual, and the Englishwoman couldn't understand it.
“You seem to be wondering why I'm looking forward to fighting three incredibly strong women at once, huh?”
Astrid didn't blame her manager for that. In a way, she's used to the fact that not everyone understands her emotions and worldview. The blonde slowly walked over to Victoria and sat next to her, then looked back at the TV screen, watching Yumie entrance.
“I feel happier than ever today, Victoria,” she confessed. “I've always been a warrior, I was named after the great shield maiden for a reason, and today I'm going to have the hardest fight of my life." She gently took Victoria's hand and placed it on her chest. “Can you feel how fast my heart is beating?”
The manager nodded. She knew that Astrid always wanted to fight only the strongest, but she didn't even realize that this match meant so much to her ward. Victoria turned her gaze to Yumie. The Englishwoman herself has never been a fighter, which is probably why she will never be able to fully understand how Astrid feels. She's the manager, and even though they said many times that she wasn't responsible for their defeats, she took it too personally. Considering the sad state her team is in right now... she just couldn't help but worry about this match.
“Look how strong she is,” Astrid said with a smile, without taking her eyes off Yumie. “She exudes self-confidence and is eager to prove that she is the best." The blonde's fists clenched involuntarily. “I'm sure that even if she feels some doubts in her heart, she will never show it.”
Victoria looked at her charge. There was not even a hint of a lie in Astrid's voice, she was completely sincere. This made the manager smile. Few people noticed this, but Astrid was the first champion in a long time who didn't take care of herself at all, but devoted all her efforts to the title. All of her title defenses were unique, not to mention that each challenger was a fighter of the highest class. Thanks to this, the openweight title gained significance, gained history, gained a legacy that will remain after Astrid.
“I just...” Victoria began.
“I know,” Astrid interrupted her. “I know exactly what you're thinking.” They spent too much time together, so she was well aware of exactly how Victoria was feeling right now. “I guess it's not surprising, considering the string of defeats that still haunts our team...”
Victoria didn't say anything, just sighed heavily. Yes, Astrid was right. The Englishwoman knew she shouldn't let these events affect her, but there was nothing she could do about it. Too many defeats. Just too many defeats. Even such outstanding women as Charlotte and Nerissa could not avoid this, which caused their positions in the federation to rapidly decline. Because of this, Victoria's heart was bursting with pain, and because of this, she simply could not get rid of the thought that the woman who is now sitting next to her will have the same fate.
“Oh, Gods...” said Astrid. “Just look at her!”
Raising her head, the Englishwoman looked at the screen. After Yumie, Alizeh arrived at the arena. And she did it really vividly. Watching the green-haired woman, Astrid couldn't help but smile, while her fists clenched involuntarily again. Damn. Was there at least one person in this world who could understand her at that moment? She was going to face the most difficult match of her life, but she wasn't afraid, instead she just wanted to be there in the ring as soon as possible to fight them. She longed for it with all her heart.
It's time.
While Alizeh was walking down the ramp, Astrid wanted to get to the waiting room, so she got to her feet and put her title belt around her waist. Victoria rose with her. The Englishwoman looked at the title first, and then looked into Astrid's eyes. She literally considered this woman her own daughter and she just couldn't help but worry about her. After everything that happened to her team, after all these failures that tore her heart, she just wanted Astrid to continue being the great champion that she considers her to be.
“Astird, I...” Victoria began, trying to find the words.
“Do you remember what I said to Astrid Ostberg after our match?" The blonde interrupted the manager with a question.
Astrid interrupted her manager because she understood that Victoria would worry about her anyway. However, it seemed to her that she had found the right words, so she decided to take the initiative. Victoria raised her left eyebrow, not quite understanding what her ward was leading to. In any case, she had a wonderful memory, so…
“You told her that we ourselves decide for when our story ends...”
“That's damn right, huh!" Astrid confirmed with a smile.
Taking a step forward, she hugged her manager tightly, which slightly shocked Victoria. She stood perfectly still for a few seconds, and then hugged Astrid as tightly as a mother can hug. At that moment, they shared each other's warmest emotions.
“Today is neither the beginning nor the end of my story." Astrid said with a slight smile on her face. “Today, I intend to light up the Colosseum with the flame of my soul, I don't just want to fight them, I'm going to defeat them!” She took a step back from the brunette, but continued to hold her by the shoulders. “I'm the strongest woman in the world after all!" She said, grinning broadly from ear to ear. “So as soon as I leave the locker room, hurry up to take your seat in the front row and keep your eyes on me, Victoria!”
Releasing the Englishwoman, Astrid took another step back. They stared into each other's eyes for a few more seconds. She could still see the worry in her manager's eyes, but nevertheless, Victoria took a deep breath and then smiled broadly.
That smile meant the whole world to Astrid.
She really considered Victoria her second mother.
Smiling in response, the champion nodded at her and even prepared to leave the locker room. But then she stopped and looked over her shoulder.
“By the way,” she said to the slightly surprised manager. “Say thank you again from me to our three new friends.” There was a mysterious twinkle in the lavender eyes. “Without their vocal lessons, I would never have been able to do this.”
Without saying anything else, she left the locker room. Once alone, the champion took a deep breath, and then headed down the long corridor. Looking around, she paid tribute to LAW management, they must have put a lot of effort and money into restoring the Colosseum and adapting this place for a show that will surely go down in history.
Astrid entered the waiting room just a few seconds after the last of the contender stepped through the curtains. The Golden Dragon turned her head to the screen and smiled again.
Clara received the same loud and warm greetings from the audience as Yumie and Alizeh. Perhaps the reaction to Clara's entrance was even a little louder due to the fact that she clearly put a lot of effort into getting a unique music theme.
“Well done, Clara...” murmured Astrid softly.
Without taking her eyes off the screen, the Norwegian woman recalled everything that happened from the moment of her last title defense to today. Who would have thought that things would turn out this way? She was always true to her word. Yumie. Alizeh. Clara. Astrid promised each of them a chance to fight her for the openweight title. And although she had originally intended to fight each of them in a singles match, the circumstances couldn't have been better. No one has ever done something like this before today. The best of the best will meet in the ring today.
Astri closed her eyes for just a moment, but in that moment she had time to think about a lot.
Yumie Hayashi. The most promising heavyweight at the moment, who was not afraid to challenge the current veteran heavyweight champion. Of all the three contenders, she was able to do what Astrid, although she did not consider impossible, but considered extremely unlikely, she defeated Charlotte, the woman whom Astrid respected more than anyone. She only said it out loud once, but the truth was that Astrid believed that Charlotte was stronger than she and Nerissa together, she just doesn't know it yet. Besides, of all the contenders today, Yumie most resembled Astrid herself, because this woman literally exuded self-confidence, she sincerely believed that no obstacle could stand in her way, the Golden Dragon wholeheartedly respected women with such views. So in Astrid's eyes, Yumie was the only heavyweight who really deserved to be in this match today.
Alizeh Midori. This name definitely sounded as loud in the middleweight division as the names of the last middleweight champions, especially considering that not so long ago Alizeh had a middleweight title shot. She definitely gained a lot of popularity and fame, even such an outstanding woman as Charlotte was far from her. Astrid didn't make any promises to her, but Alizeh took the initiative herself, defeating Lily Menage in the match. Lily might not be at the top of the middleweight rankings, but was one of the most outstanding women in Victoria's team. Astrid didn't know this woman very well, they had only one personal meeting, but she knew well how popular she was and why. This woman definitely deserved her chance to be here today.
Clara Gaster. The woman who certainly had to go through many ups and downs. Time after time, even despite some moral doubts, she continued to get to her feet to continue moving forward. Because of this, Astrid sincerely admired this woman, because she herself also adhered to the principle that if you never give up, then you can conquer any peak. The best proof of Clara's determination was the fact that she was eager to defeat Astrid even after the champion had won their Halloween match. Her determination was further accentuated by the fact that she had twice defeated Nerissa, the second woman after Charlotte, whom Astrid respected the most. Seeing what Clara was striving for, Astrid just couldn't help but support her because she wanted to share the ring only with the strongest and most determined women. With her own indomitable willpower, Clara earned for herself another chance to become a champion.
Now Astrid has to fight all of them. Either she will retain the right to call herself the strongest woman in the world, or this right will pass to one of her rivals. Perhaps many people in the blonde's place were worried about this, but she had no reason to be. She wasn't afraid of this challenge, she literally longed for it, because that was all that mattered to her. Paper defenses had never interested her. Her only responsibility was to give the openweight title prestige and legacy.
Perhaps no one will ever be able to understand how much effort she had to put into it.
Perhaps no one will ever admit that her title defenses were what LAW viewers deserved.
Perhaps no one will ever say that she inspired them to become better.
But at least even in this case, Astrid's conscience will be clear.
Even if everything she had done wasn't enough, today's match would definitely be something she could be truly proud of.
Opening her eyes, the champion smiled broadly, rejoicing at the opportunity that had fallen to her today. Such an event happens once in a millennium, and therefore she intended to make sure that no one could ever forget it.
She made some more efforts to make it unforgettable.
When this idea came to her mind, Charlotte and Nerissa laughed, but then they supported their friend. It took a lot of work and tremendous patience from Astrid, but thanks to the help of three women with whom Victoria recently began negotiations, she was able to achieve her goal.
She has prepared a surprise for everyone present at the Colosseum today, especially for her rivals.
It's time.
“To the last drop of sweat!” Astrid told herself, slamming her right fist into her left palm.
The light in the Colosseum had completely disappeared, leaving only pitch-black darkness. Astrid was not in favor of such a big drama, but it was necessary for a few people from the staff to make some preparations. Fortunately, they were professionals and it took just a few seconds.
“I'm proud to be here today,” Astrid's voice rang out from the speakers throughout the Colosseum. “Without you, this day and this match would not have happened, so this is for you...”
Three spotlights illuminated the ramp where the reigning openweight champion stood in front of the microphone on the stand. The music started, but it wasn't Astrid's music theme. It was a soft and pleasant melody that thousands of people would surely recognize without any problems. Astrid closed her eyes for a moment, gathering her courage because she had never done something like this before. Catching the rhythm, she opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and then…
"All smiles, I know what it takes to fool this town"
"I'll do it 'til the sun goes down"
"And all through the nighttime"
"Oh, yeaaaah"
To those who had heard Astrid's voice at least once, it would immediately become clear that now her voice was smooth and melodious, even soft, which was unusual for the Norwegian woman.
"Oh, yeah, I'll tell you what you wanna hear"
"Leave my sunglasses on while I shed a tear"
"It's never the right time"
"Yeah… yeah…"
With a deep breath, Astrid placed one hand on the stand and the other directly on the microphone. Her voice began to get stronger, gaining strength with each new word.
"I put my armor on, show you how strong I am"
"I put my armor on, I'll show you that I aaaAAAaaaAAAm"
After a long note, during which Astrid changed the tone twice, her voice reached its maximum strength. In a fit of emotion, she clenched her right hand into a fist and pulled it back slightly. The champion's lavender eyes seemed to glow in the dark.
"I'm unstoppable"
"I'm a Porsche with no brakes"
"I'm INVINCIBLE"
"Yeah, I win every single game"
"I'm so POWERFUUUUUL"
"I don't need batteriiiiiiiiies to play"
"I'm so CONFIDENT"
"Yeah, I'm unstoppable today!"
Trying to keep up with the rhythm, she used the power of her voice to emphasize every important word in the chorus before moving on to the most important lines of the song.
"Unstoppable todaaaAAAy"
"Unstoppable today"
"Unstoppable todaaaAAAy"
"I'm unstoppable today!"
As if on a click, her voice returned to smoothness and softness at the same time as the rhythm of the song calmed down.
"Break down, only alone I will cry out now"
"You'll never see what's hiding out"
"Hiding out deep down"
"Yeah… yeah…"
Under the pressure of emotions, the blonde closed her eyes, passing every word through her soul.
"I know, I've heard that to let your feelings show"
"Is the only way to make friendships grow"
"But I'm too afraid now"
"Yeah… yeah…"
Opening her eyes, she allowed her voice to gain strength again. Some of the audience even started singing along with her, which made the corners of her lips turn up.
"I put my armor on, show you how strong I am"
"I put my armor on, I'll show you that I aaaAAAaaaAAAm"
At that moment, her voice became so powerful that it was ready to shake the walls of the Colosseum.
"I'm unstoppable"
"I'm a Porsche with no brakes"
"I'm INVINCIBLE"
"Yeah, I win every single game"
"I'm so POWERFUUUUUL"
"I don't need batteriiiiiiiiies to play"
"I'm so CONFIDENT"
"Yeah, I'm unstoppable today!"
"Unstoppable todaaaAAAy"
"Unstoppable today"
"Unstoppable todaaaAAAy"
"I'm unstoppable today!"
"Unstoppable todaaaAAAy"
"Unstoppable today"
"Unstoppable todaaaAAAy"
"I'm unstoppable today!"
The music in the background became quieter. Astrid's voice slowed down slightly, but it remained just as strong.
"I put my armor on, show you how strong I am"
"I put my armor on, I'll show you that I aaaAAAaaaAAAm"
The beat of the music changed, emphasizing every word spoken by the blonde.
"I'm unstoppable"
"I'm a Porsche with no brakes"
"I'm INVINCIBLE"
"Yeah, I win every single game"
"I'm so POWERFUUUUUL"
"I don't need batteriiiiiiiiies to play"
"I'm so CONFIDENT"
"Yeah, I'm unstoppable today!"
The music got louder again, and Astrid put her whole soul into the last lines of the song.
"Unstoppable todaaaAAAy"
"Unstoppable today"
"Unstoppable todaaaAAAy"
"I'm unstoppable today!"
"Unstoppable todaaaAAAy"
"Unstoppable today"
"Unstoppable todaaaAAAy"
"I'm unstoppable today!"
When Astrid finished singing and the speakers went silent, the Colosseum was silent for a few moments. The blonde tried not to show it, but she was breathing very hard. She usually never worries about anything because it goes against her morals, but singing was a completely unknown field for her, especially when thousands and thousands of people were looking at you. She knew that in any case she couldn't do better than the real singer of this song, but she wanted to believe that those who came here today would like it. The Colosseum was still in darkness, with only Astrid illuminated by floodlights, so she couldn't see the faces of the audience. It was one of the longest seconds of her life, and then…
The arena was filled with deafening applause and cheers from the crowd. Astrid couldn't contain her emotions and gasped as if she had been doused with ice water. It was an incredible relief for her. Listening to the applause, she had to take a deep breath to keep from crying.
“Thank you,” she said into the microphone in her much more familiar voice. “Thank you all...”
She was really very pleased that the audience liked her performance.
But in fact, the truth was a little deeper.
In fact, the words she said before the song were not intended for the audience, but for her rivals, and it was for them that Astrid put so much effort into working on her voice. Without them, this match really would never have happened. And she didn't choose this song by chance. She wanted this song to imbue each of them with power. She wanted each of the women in the ring to feel it and for each of them to give their best today like never before in their lives.
“And now...” said Astrid after the applause and screams of the audience became quieter. “May the Colosseum be illuminated by the flame of the Golden Dragon!!!”
A rising tempo could be heard from the speakers, and then Astrid's music theme rolled through the Colosseum. At the same time, the champion raised her right fist above her head. Numerous flames burst out on either side of her at the top of the ramp. Her name appeared on the titantron, as well as her status as the current openweight champion.
The light has finally fully returned to the arena. To a new round of applause from the audience, the Norwegian woman began to descend the ramp, and at each step she was accompanied by new flames. On the way to the ring, the Golden Dragon, as always, paid attention to the most loyal fans in the front rows. She stopped several times to give high-fives, sign posters and take a few selfies. She might never have been into self-promotion, but she actually felt warm at the fact that she was supported by so many people.
Once in front of the ring in the very center of the Colosseum, the descendant of the great Vikings allowed herself to stop once again. She breathed in a lungful of air with pleasure, closing her eyes at the same time. Who would have thought that great fighters once fought in this very arena. Astrid believed that if you persevered enough, you could even change the fate that the Gods had prepared for you. But today... today it was definitely fate, because she and the three best women of the federation would have to fight in such a legendary place.
The Golden Dragon turned her head briefly, and at the same time, a smile appeared on her lips. Victoria had already taken her place in the front row. Astrid nodded briefly to her manager, and only after she received a nod in return did she run up the metal steps.
Without stopping, she took a few steps along the apron before grabbing the top rope with both hands and entering the ring in one sharp leap. Having confidently reached the center of the ring, Astrid allowed herself to enjoy this magnificent feeling because it was a truly unique opportunity to be in the very center of the Colosseum. When her music came to an end, she put her right hand on her title belt with a big smile on her face, and bent her left arm at the elbow, pointing at herself with her thumb.
After receiving the last round of applause and cheers from the audience, she took one step back from the center of the ring, thereby clearing the space a little. The Golden Dragon looked at each of her rivals in turn. She wondered what was going on in their heads and souls at that moment. Were they nervous, or were they, like her, impatient to start the match?
Did they think about what was going on in Astrid's head and soul at that moment?
If so, the Golden Dragon had nothing to hide.
“Raise your heads and shine, my rivals!" Astrid said excitedly, spreading her arms wide. “Because today we're going to make history!!!!!!!!!”
To the roar of the audience, she thrust her right fist forward, inviting Yumie, Alizeh and Clara to join her in the center of the ring so that they could bump their fists together before they took up their fighting stances and began the most epic match of recent years!
Punch!!
Punch!!!
Waltzing around the punching bag, Astrid was warming up her muscles. She finished just in time and shifted her gaze to the TV screen.
The show has begun.
Yumie was the first to enter the top of the ramp to the applause of the audience. Astrid's heart began to beat a little faster, and a shudder ran through her body. This did not go unnoticed. Victoria, who had been silently watching the champion's warm-up all this time, adjusted her glasses.
“What is it?" She asked. “Are you nervous?”
“No...” Astrid replied with a slight smile. “I'm just looking forward to it!”
When the blonde looked at the manager, Victoria saw a flame in her ward's eyes. Of course, she was well aware of how fiery a temperament the descendant of the great Vikings possessed. She has never been afraid of a match, she has always been confident in her abilities. But now Victoria felt that something had changed. Something was different. Astrid looked much more excited than usual, and the Englishwoman couldn't understand it.
“You seem to be wondering why I'm looking forward to fighting three incredibly strong women at once, huh?”
Astrid didn't blame her manager for that. In a way, she's used to the fact that not everyone understands her emotions and worldview. The blonde slowly walked over to Victoria and sat next to her, then looked back at the TV screen, watching Yumie entrance.
“I feel happier than ever today, Victoria,” she confessed. “I've always been a warrior, I was named after the great shield maiden for a reason, and today I'm going to have the hardest fight of my life." She gently took Victoria's hand and placed it on her chest. “Can you feel how fast my heart is beating?”
The manager nodded. She knew that Astrid always wanted to fight only the strongest, but she didn't even realize that this match meant so much to her ward. Victoria turned her gaze to Yumie. The Englishwoman herself has never been a fighter, which is probably why she will never be able to fully understand how Astrid feels. She's the manager, and even though they said many times that she wasn't responsible for their defeats, she took it too personally. Considering the sad state her team is in right now... she just couldn't help but worry about this match.
“Look how strong she is,” Astrid said with a smile, without taking her eyes off Yumie. “She exudes self-confidence and is eager to prove that she is the best." The blonde's fists clenched involuntarily. “I'm sure that even if she feels some doubts in her heart, she will never show it.”
Victoria looked at her charge. There was not even a hint of a lie in Astrid's voice, she was completely sincere. This made the manager smile. Few people noticed this, but Astrid was the first champion in a long time who didn't take care of herself at all, but devoted all her efforts to the title. All of her title defenses were unique, not to mention that each challenger was a fighter of the highest class. Thanks to this, the openweight title gained significance, gained history, gained a legacy that will remain after Astrid.
“I just...” Victoria began.
“I know,” Astrid interrupted her. “I know exactly what you're thinking.” They spent too much time together, so she was well aware of exactly how Victoria was feeling right now. “I guess it's not surprising, considering the string of defeats that still haunts our team...”
Victoria didn't say anything, just sighed heavily. Yes, Astrid was right. The Englishwoman knew she shouldn't let these events affect her, but there was nothing she could do about it. Too many defeats. Just too many defeats. Even such outstanding women as Charlotte and Nerissa could not avoid this, which caused their positions in the federation to rapidly decline. Because of this, Victoria's heart was bursting with pain, and because of this, she simply could not get rid of the thought that the woman who is now sitting next to her will have the same fate.
“Oh, Gods...” said Astrid. “Just look at her!”
Raising her head, the Englishwoman looked at the screen. After Yumie, Alizeh arrived at the arena. And she did it really vividly. Watching the green-haired woman, Astrid couldn't help but smile, while her fists clenched involuntarily again. Damn. Was there at least one person in this world who could understand her at that moment? She was going to face the most difficult match of her life, but she wasn't afraid, instead she just wanted to be there in the ring as soon as possible to fight them. She longed for it with all her heart.
It's time.
While Alizeh was walking down the ramp, Astrid wanted to get to the waiting room, so she got to her feet and put her title belt around her waist. Victoria rose with her. The Englishwoman looked at the title first, and then looked into Astrid's eyes. She literally considered this woman her own daughter and she just couldn't help but worry about her. After everything that happened to her team, after all these failures that tore her heart, she just wanted Astrid to continue being the great champion that she considers her to be.
“Astird, I...” Victoria began, trying to find the words.
“Do you remember what I said to Astrid Ostberg after our match?" The blonde interrupted the manager with a question.
Astrid interrupted her manager because she understood that Victoria would worry about her anyway. However, it seemed to her that she had found the right words, so she decided to take the initiative. Victoria raised her left eyebrow, not quite understanding what her ward was leading to. In any case, she had a wonderful memory, so…
“You told her that we ourselves decide for when our story ends...”
“That's damn right, huh!" Astrid confirmed with a smile.
Taking a step forward, she hugged her manager tightly, which slightly shocked Victoria. She stood perfectly still for a few seconds, and then hugged Astrid as tightly as a mother can hug. At that moment, they shared each other's warmest emotions.
“Today is neither the beginning nor the end of my story." Astrid said with a slight smile on her face. “Today, I intend to light up the Colosseum with the flame of my soul, I don't just want to fight them, I'm going to defeat them!” She took a step back from the brunette, but continued to hold her by the shoulders. “I'm the strongest woman in the world after all!" She said, grinning broadly from ear to ear. “So as soon as I leave the locker room, hurry up to take your seat in the front row and keep your eyes on me, Victoria!”
Releasing the Englishwoman, Astrid took another step back. They stared into each other's eyes for a few more seconds. She could still see the worry in her manager's eyes, but nevertheless, Victoria took a deep breath and then smiled broadly.
That smile meant the whole world to Astrid.
She really considered Victoria her second mother.
Smiling in response, the champion nodded at her and even prepared to leave the locker room. But then she stopped and looked over her shoulder.
“By the way,” she said to the slightly surprised manager. “Say thank you again from me to our three new friends.” There was a mysterious twinkle in the lavender eyes. “Without their vocal lessons, I would never have been able to do this.”
Without saying anything else, she left the locker room. Once alone, the champion took a deep breath, and then headed down the long corridor.

Astrid Arvidsson
Three spotlights illuminated the ramp where the reigning openweight champion stood in front of the microphone on the stand. The music started, but it wasn't Astrid's music theme. It was a soft and pleasant melody that thousands of people would surely recognize without any problems.

"I'm so POWERFUUUUUL"

In fact, the words she said before the song were not intended for the audience, but for her rivals, and it was for them that Astrid put so much effort into working on her voice. Without them, this match really would never have happened. And she didn't choose this song by chance. She wanted this song to imbue each of them with power. She wanted each of the women in the ring to feel it and for each of them to give their best today like never before in their lives.
“And now...” said Astrid after the applause and screams of the audience became quieter. “May the Colosseum be illuminated by the flame of the Golden Dragon!!!”
Entrance Music
A rising tempo could be heard from the speakers, and then Astrid's music theme rolled through the Colosseum. At the same time, the champion raised her right fist above her head. Numerous flames burst out on either side of her at the top of the ramp. Her name appeared on the titantron, as well as her status as the current openweight champion.
The light has finally fully returned to the arena. To a new round of applause from the audience, the Norwegian woman began to descend the ramp, and at each step she was accompanied by new flames. On the way to the ring, the Golden Dragon, as always, paid attention to the most loyal fans in the front rows. She stopped several times to give high-fives, sign posters and take a few selfies. She might never have been into self-promotion, but she actually felt warm at the fact that she was supported by so many people.
Once in front of the ring in the very center of the Colosseum, the descendant of the great Vikings allowed herself to stop once again. She breathed in a lungful of air with pleasure, closing her eyes at the same time. Who would have thought that great fighters once fought in this very arena. Astrid believed that if you persevered enough, you could even change the fate that the Gods had prepared for you. But today... today it was definitely fate, because she and the three best women of the federation would have to fight in such a legendary place.
The Golden Dragon turned her head briefly, and at the same time, a smile appeared on her lips. Victoria had already taken her place in the front row. Astrid nodded briefly to her manager, and only after she received a nod in return did she run up the metal steps.
Without stopping, she took a few steps along the apron before grabbing the top rope with both hands and entering the ring in one sharp leap. Having confidently reached the center of the ring, Astrid allowed herself to enjoy this magnificent feeling because it was a truly unique opportunity to be in the very center of the Colosseum. When her music came to an end, she put her right hand on her title belt with a big smile on her face, and bent her left arm at the elbow, pointing at herself with her thumb.
After receiving the last round of applause and cheers from the audience, she took one step back from the center of the ring, thereby clearing the space a little. The Golden Dragon looked at each of her rivals in turn. She wondered what was going on in their heads and souls at that moment. Were they nervous, or were they, like her, impatient to start the match?
Did they think about what was going on in Astrid's head and soul at that moment?
If so, the Golden Dragon had nothing to hide.
“Raise your heads and shine, my rivals!" Astrid said excitedly, spreading her arms wide. “Because today we're going to make history!!!!!!!!!”
To the roar of the audience, she thrust her right fist forward, inviting Yumie, Alizeh and Clara to join her in the center of the ring so that they could bump their fists together before they took up their fighting stances and began the most epic match of recent years!

Re: MAIN EVENT! Astrid Arvidsson (C) vs Yumie Hayashi vs Alizeh Midori vs Clara Gaster for the LAW Openweight Title
The next person to come out after Yumie was none other than the greenette she had acquired a hatred for, Alizeh Midori. It had become quiet clear to anyone with eyes that the two didn't like each other, Yumie merely staring at her with little expression as the woman made her entrance in a new attire, though that outfit wasn't going to stop Yumie from rearranging the features on the woman's face on her way to take title off of Astrid. The Japanese woman returned the glare that Alizeh gave her, using every bit of will to restrain herself from resuming what the two had started in the gym not long ago before the bell.
The next one to make her entrance was the lightweight of the match. Yumie was unfamiliar with Clara, only meeting the woman when this four way was made official by the company and the champion. She had nothing personal against Clara, though she was just another woman in her way to the belt and she would deal with the woman accordingly, the same way she was going to deal with Alizeh.
The left just one woman. Yumie didn't have a hatred for Astrid, she may have even like her a bit, but she had something she wanted, something that Astrid would defend until her body gave out, something Yumie had to go through one woman to get to already, and would have to go through three more to get, the LAW Openweight Title.
Yumie glanced at Clara briefly looking the woman over before her eyes returned to Alizeh, giving the woman a glare and a scowl as she did the same. "Bitch looks hot in that outfit at least" Yumie thought to herself as the greenette was certainly attractive even if she couldn't stand the woman. "You're first bitch" Yumie finally spoke to give Alizeh a warning before her attention shifted towards the stage once again as the Champion stepped on stage and shortly after began to sing. "So you're and idol now too?" Yumie thought to herself remaining quiet as Astrid continued to sing. "Decent voice at least" Yumie's mind also added while waiting for Astrid to finish and for the crowd to finish there cheers and applause.
Yumie let out a deep breath, preparing herself for the match ahead as the Champion's actual entrance music started and the woman made her way to the ring, thinking how good that title was going to look around her waist like it looked around Astrid's. The Norwegian certainly had quite the physique, it was almost as if the woman lived in the gym.
But that wasn't going to save her from when Yumie got around to pinning her. The Japanese woman smirked at Astrid's remark about making history before seeing the woman inviting all of them for a fist bump. Yumie's smirk disappeared as she shook her head. "Not with her" Yumie said glaring at Alizeh as she cracked her knuckles, the only fist Alizeh was getting from her was to the face and she was just itching to get her hands on the woman!

Re: MAIN EVENT! Astrid Arvidsson (C) vs Yumie Hayashi vs Alizeh Midori vs Clara Gaster for the LAW Openweight Title
Alizeh looked up almost immediately, near completely forgetting about the beacon of sheer hatred to her left that was Yumie Hayashi in favor on focusing on the woman coming down to the ring now. Clara Gaster. It seemed this match was full of unfinished business for Alizeh. After all Yumie had attacked her in the gym and they hadn't had the chance to properly get things settled between them. Meanwhile Clara was someone that Alizeh had clashed with in the ring, the two having gotten along at first but things had quickly deteriorated between them, leading to things between them now being... far less than pleasant.
Whatever the case however Alizeh couldn't dwell on it. Instead she'd merely give Clara a look as she entered the ring before turning away and back to the ramp as there was only one woman left to come down to the ring. The most important woman for this match. The Open weight champion herself. Astrid Arvidsson. Ironically the person in this match who Alizeh had the least amount of personal drama with, yet the one she had the most reason to defeat here tonight.
Looking up as the lights suddenly went out Alizeh would tilt her head in confusion, wondering if perhaps an old wire had burned out or if the LAW lighting system was just so dang powerful it actually ate up all the power. But then the thunderous voice of their champion, their host for this match cut through and Alizeh understood. She didn't take Astrid as a show woman, but it was clear this match meant a lot to her, and she was showing it now... with a show of appreciation for her challengers.
Within moments spotlights came down and the beats of a familiar song began playing through the arena speakers and the trio of weight division challengers were treated to what may have been the first and last vocal performance of a proud Viking. A surprisingly beautiful one to Alizeh, but in her short time of knowing the blonde woman it seemed oddly fitting for her. 'Maybe instead of a viking she should call herself a Valkyrie.' Alizeh thought to herself with a soft smile.
But Astrid carried through with her performance, continuing to surprise with her level of vocal control and singing ability, and if Alizeh was being honest she would become somewhat entranced herself, leaning forward slightly as the song continued, her eyes focusing heavily on the woman and every minute movement she made.
'Damn... Wonder if I can talk her into a moment alone after all this...' Alizeh thought to herself, feeling some of her breath getting drawn out of her as Astrid finished the song, a thunderous amount of applause coming down after, some of which Alizeh contributed too as she began to clap her hands as well, but in a more controlled manner, but with a soft smirk on her face.
But then Astrid's traditional entrance music would kick on and as she walked down the ramp pillars of flame would shoot out, and as she did it was like a switch was flipped in Alizeh's heart. All of the amorous feelings and admiration she felt a second ago during Astrid's performance was suddenly replaced with a eager sense for competition and drive.
Every cell in every fiber of Alizeh's being was wanting Astrid to hurry up and get in the ring so they could get this show on the road. So that she could finally face Astrid, get payback on Clara, and settle things with Yumie in one lump sum, the thought occurring to Alizeh that this match was just about everything she could want with one exception...
'Fuck... I wish Kate was here. That would make this perfect.' Alizeh thought to herself with a slight hint of disappointment before perking up as Astrid spoke, calling for the challengers to meet her in the center of the ring for a fist bump, an offer that Yumie would decline, most likely due to Alizeh's presence, to which Alizeh would roll her eyes before focusing on Astrid, her eyes going up and down the woman's body before she began to walk forward, maybe or maybe not putting some intentional sway to her hips as she did so.
As she made it to Astrid however Alizeh would stick her fist out, bumping it with Astrid's own. "To making history..." Alizeh said simply, before looking to Clara pointedly, as if challenging her to take the path Yumie took, or do as Alizeh and bump fists with Astrid in spite of their own history. A quiet challenge, one that Alizeh was curious to see how it would play out.

Re: MAIN EVENT! Astrid Arvidsson (C) vs Yumie Hayashi vs Alizeh Midori vs Clara Gaster for the LAW Openweight Title
Clara kept back as Yumie growled in anger at Alizeh. It was strange. The three women in the ring were people who fans typically cheered, and followed the rules...or at worst, slightly bent them to get an edge in the match, and yet the tension was so thick, you could cut with a knife. This was both because of some of the stories in the ring Alizeh had with both her and Yumie...but naturally, it was more than that, with this being the biggest LAW match the company ever produced. The last woman, the cause of the occasion, was yet to make her way into the ring yet.
And the moment her entrance started, it was clear that the LAW Openweight Champion spared no expense to enter the Colosseum like the Queen of the Universe. Usually, LAW spared no expense on anything, as was evident by Clara entering to Scary Monsters by David Bowie…but rarely did the wrestler in question feel confident enough to enter the arena singing like a Rockstar. Clara could feel her cheeks flushing red at how beautiful and powerful the blonde looked at the top of the entrance ramp.
Singing her song, Astrid blew all of the other 3 women’s combined efforts in the ring away in terms of presentation. The crowd exploded in cheers at the impromptu concert by the LAW Openweight Champion…and exploded into further cheers once Astrid’s proper theme song came to the speakers around the Colosseum. Astrid proceeded to make her way down the entrance ramp, greeting the crowd…and her rivals, with her entrance. Clara’s eyes kept on Astrid, right as the blonde hopped into the ring, and made a proud proclamation to her rivals.
To the challenge to bump fists, Clara had 0 issue doing so with either of the women in the ring, as uneasy as things were between her and Alizeh. She still respected the greenette as a competitor, and wasn’t afraid to give this respect to either her, Yumie (though the Heavyweight withdrew from the show of respect)…or indeed, the LAW Openweight Champion.
“Ready to tap all of you out…”
Still, it wouldn’t be a wrestling match without just a bit of trash talk from someone…

Re: MAIN EVENT! Astrid Arvidsson (C) vs Yumie Hayashi vs Alizeh Midori vs Clara Gaster for the LAW Openweight Title
Astrid's proposal was met by the three women in different ways. Astrid, of course, knew that there was something damn personal between Yumie and Alizeh, but she wasn't the type to dig into other people's dirty laundry, so she didn't know the details. Apparently, the antipathy that the white-haired woman felt towards Alizeh was much greater than the champion had expected, as Yumie refused to bump their fists because of Alizeh's presence in the ring. Astrid could only smile good-naturedly at Yumie's words.
“Oh, gods... what a drama, huh!” She would have said with a slight note of sarcasm.
It might seem that Astrid thoughtlessly did not attach any importance to this, but in fact it was not the truth. Considering that four fighters were going to take part in this match at the same time, even a small thing like this could provide some information that could be used. It seems that Yumie will focus on Alizeh first of all, and not on Clara or Astrid herself.
Speaking of Alizeh. The green-haired woman enthusiastically accepted Astrid's offer, joining the Golden Dragon in the center of the ring and pressing her fist to the champion's. This earned her a smile from the Norwegian woman, because despite the fact that in a few moments they would start kicking the shit out of each other, Astrid was very pleased that someone shared her feelings about the epicness of the upcoming match.
The descendant of the great Vikings turned her head to Clara, who seemed lost in her own thoughts for a few moments. However, then the black-haired woman confidently walked to the center of the ring, bumping her fist with the fists of Astrid and Alizeh. The three fists joined together and, intentionally or not, each of them tried to apply a little more force than they should to put some pressure on the opponents.
At this point, the audience cheered enthusiastically, anticipating the match between the most skilled women of the federation. It might seem that it was time for each of them to take a step back and get ready, but Clara decided to add some hot spices to the pot, declaring that she was ready to deal with all of them.
“Hoooo,” Astrid drawled, slightly increasing the pressure on both Clara's fist and Alizeh's fist. “That's the spirit!" Her soft smile turned into a cocky grin. “Try and keep it, Clara, because I won't give you a third chance at my title!”
Astrid wasn't a big fan of trash-talk before or during the match, but in this particular case neither Clara's words nor her own carried any real malicious intent. Each of them just wanted to make it clear about the seriousness of their intentions, no more, no less. So why not do it in a way that the audience likes.
After answering Clara, the Golden Dragon turned her gaze to Alizeh and nodded briefly to her, after which she lowered her fist and took a step back. However, while Clara and Alizeh would have gone to their corners, the blonde herself would have remained in the center of the ring. There was one more thing she had to do before the match started. Something she had never loved, but which was an integral part of any title defense. The striped shirt approached the descendant of the great Vikings and held out her hand, demanding that Astrid give back what was at stake today.
“The duty of a champion, right?" Astrid joked.
To a roar of applause, the Golden Dragon removed the title belt from her waist and handed it to the referee, who stood in the very center of the ring and raised the title above her head, demonstrating to everyone at the Colosseum what the current champion and three contenders would be fighting for today. Astrid raised her head, looking at her title. Her fists clenched involuntarily. She'll put it back on her waist or spend every last drop of sweat trying to do it.
The referee handed the title outside the ring, while the Norwegian woman finally took the place in her corner. The opportunity to fight and surpass the greatest women was all she had ever wanted, and therefore, at that moment, Astrid felt all her internal organs tremble with anticipation. With lightning flashing in her lavender eyes, the Golden Dragon looked at each of her rivals once more, and then clenched her fists. Lifting them to chin level, she took her fighting stance and got ready.
“Aaaaaaand now!” The ring announcer's voice reverberated through the Colosseum. “The main event!!” The audience turned into an uncontrollable crowd that wanted only bread and circuses. “Four-way elimination match for the LAW World Openweight title!!!” It seemed that the Colosseum could not withstand the roar of the crowd. “FIGHT!!!!”
Ding-Ding-Ding.
The most epic match of recent years has officially begun.

Re: MAIN EVENT! Astrid Arvidsson (C) vs Yumie Hayashi vs Alizeh Midori vs Clara Gaster for the LAW Openweight Title
"Go ahead and roll your eyes while you can, you little green haired bitch" Yumie thought to herself, seeing Alizeh roll her eyes before accepting the champion's fist bump offer, followed by the lightweight of the match, Clara Gaster, who chimed in with a cocky remark. "As if" Yumie mumbled in response, simply watching as the three women bumped fists. Tonight was not about making friends, hell, she already hated one of the women in the match. This was about winning the title first, and putting Alizeh in her place second... but she may as well get the second done on her way to the first!
Yumie couldn't help but stare at the title as Astrid removed it from her waist and handed it to the referee in their black and white striped shirt. Watching as they carried it to the ropes and handed it to someone outside the ring. Yumie's eyes then shifted towards Clara for a moment, then Astrid as the woman got in a fighting stance, and lastly... Alizeh, remaining, locked on the woman and staring daggers into her.
The announcer's voice then boomed throughout the arena once again, declaring the official start of the match! Yumie wasted no time, she bolted straight towards Alizeh, not even paying any of the other competitors any mind. They weren't important to her, not yet.
Yumie had a scowl fixed across her face as she rapidly closed the distance between herself and the green haired competitor. Whether Alizeh was expecting it right off the bat wasn't a concern of the long haired woman, she just wanted her to leave this ring broken, defeated, and disappointed! As she got close to Alizeh she would go to lock up with the woman with one hand, but her other hand would go to work with a primal rage, trying to land quick and wild strikes towards her face and chest!
