Noelle Silva was used to PPVs, as this was her third straight year participating in this very event. That fact, along with its relevant context, was the source of the frustration which served as Noelle's foremost emotion. Rather than the excitement, determination, or nervousness that is more commonly associated with participating in an event and on a stage such as this.

The stage was Noelle's problem. She was fighting on the Undercard today. Two years ago, as a rising star, she had stepped onto Fight The LAW's main stage against Thereisa Niedermeyer, then one of the faces of LAW's Heavyweight Division. And Noelle won. Last year, Noelle had second billing only to the Openweight Title fight when she stood as challenger to Annie Clark's Lightweight throne. While Noelle may not have won that battle, she had certainly come closer to taking Annie's belt than anybody else had during her reign. Considering how the match started and the way in which it turned on her, Noelle had full confidence that if she got a second chance at Annie, a third match between the two would be Annie trying to reclaim her title.

So why was Noelle reduced to the Undercard? Well she could at least be assured that it wasn't from any failing of her own. There was no question that she still stood among LAW's top echelon. But in LAW, both wrestlers had to be of Main Card caliber to fight there. Emi Star was decidedly not of that level. Which then raised the question of why Noelle was being made to fight her when she could be performing on the biggest stage.

Noelle's Music: Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple

If the answer to such a question was going to come, Noelle's music coming on was a sign that it was nearing. Noelle imagined she'd need to meet and face Emi in order to learn why she had been brought down to the Undercard in order to fight her. Noelle gave little attention to anything other than the ring as she approached it. She could actively attempt to offend the crowd, and her popularity and reputation would still see her heavily favored over Emi.

Noelle stepped into the ring, but as her second foot touched down onto the canvas, the leg slipped out from under her. The fact that she still had a hold on the rope from climbing in was the only thing that kept Noelle from falling on her ass. She looked down at the mat, at the gimmick for the match: oil. I'll have to get used to that, Noelle thought as the ring staff came to oil up the rest of her bikini clad body.
