Harmonia Edelstein had seen a meteoric rise to the top of the middleweight division with her partner Molly Forster at her side. The Ex-Model, already famous thanks to her career as Supermodel, had finally left the runway to do what she always had wanted to, namely become a wrestling star. A Superstar in the square circle. Blessed with natural strength and stamina as a little farm girl up in the upper styrian alps who was taught from a young age how to handle bulls and clean stables, the blonde beauty had found success after being tutored by no one else then Dana Ashford herself, becoming "Shadow Fortress" prodigy student only just a few steps behind the teacher herself. And then she had changed everything, erasing all that reminded her or anyone about her time as model. She became "Superstar" Harmonia Edelstein a hard hitting, energetic and charismatic face who was an absolute crowd pleaser. Together with her fiancee the english girl Molly Forster, she formed "The Superstars", an equally beloved and well praised team who went from success to success. Overall, Harmonia knew that her way could only go up and she was ready to face anyone available to get to the top!
Today she had been cherry picked by LAW to represent the company against another company that she and Molly also had ties with. That was actually an understatement as the two Superstars served as General Managers of a brand of the WFPW company. Still their loyalty was with LAW and so it wasn't hard for Harmonia to take the chance.
Also new was something that Harmonia had planned through the spring and was ready to show this summer. She had an all new costume and get up to present together with her more defined body. She had trained like hell and sported some extra muscles onto her still sexy, slender model forms.
Harmonia was now ready to come in as the first wrestler of the LAW Team.
"Ladies and Gentleman, introducing the first entree for Team LAW. She is no stranger to the fans of WFPW! Here from Graz, Austria, weighing 176 pounds, she is the General Manager of WFPW STARSTRUCK, coming to us from LAW! "The Superstar" Harmonia Edelsteeeeeein!" Spoiler
Spoiler
Ozzy and Lemmys hard riffs resounded through the Arena as red and white flares announced the arrival of the Superstar who, bathed in the colours of her home country, stepped out and pushed one arm into the air.
She walked down the ramp, right to the ring, giving the people around her a good look at her whole new outfit. Harmonia Edelstein had grown up and here was she, the whole new Superstar!
She jumped right into the ring as she grabbed the ropes and when her boots hit the canvas the refrain of her song started to play while red and white flares went off from every corner.
Harmonia bathed in the lights and stretched out her arms as if to take the whole evening in. When her theme faded she let her fist fly up into the air again as she proudly proclaimed:
"Burniiiiiing like Fiiiiiiiirrrrreeeee!"
And with a wave of cheers, hollers and applause following her she went into the corner, eagerly awaiting her fellow teammates. This day would see her teaming up with a woman she looked up to, a woman whom she trained and who was a close friend and another woman whom she had a friendly rivalry with. The fourth one she didn't really know and then there was...number five. But it was better not to think about her too much and just get it over with. One foul apple would not destroy her harvest today. So her grin spread wider as she looked up to the gorilla position to see who was next...

No one could deny that there was plenty of star power going into this match. Both WFPW and LAW wanted to put forth the best talent they had to offer in order to showcase their respective promotions to the world - and they wouldn't skimp on anything! Harmonia was a favorite among both promotions' fanbases - she was an icon of WFPW thanks to her role as General Manager, and she had had many matches on LAW and WFPW alike that showed her determination, spirit, and passion to the world. That was enough to give her a hero's welcome. But right behind her was a name just as big - Astrid Ostberg! Spoiler
Music
Maybe the Norsewoman no longer held claim to the LAW Heavyweight Championship, but her run with the belt was still a storied one that saw many high-profile defenses and put her name on the map as one of the promotion's biggest stars, and that reputation wasn't going to go away any time soon! From the moment her music first started playing, the cheers were roaring through the air, and they would only get louder as she stepped out onto the ramp, her arms held above her head! Astrid flexed her muscles and struck a few poses for the cameras on the way down, but when she got into the ring, it was all business. She held her back straight and her feet apart, and a determined look crossed her face as she settled into place at Harmonia's side. And, as she looked the Superstar up and down, it would only bring a smile to her face - Astrid had seen the progress Harmonia had made in her career, and she was impressed. She was even more honored now to have the opportunity to see what she could do, up close and personal.
"I've been looking forward to this moment," Astrid said. "Let's show WFPW what we're made of, yeah?"
This was certainly something, and Tina was more than ready. She was not a stranger to WFPW but she was also very happy to represent her home promotion LAW in a battle of the wrestling brands. The tigress was wearing her two piece tiger print briefs/top along with her matching kneepads and boots. Tina had been very up and down lately, with her looking to prove she was still worthy of top billing tonight. When her music began to play she came bounding out, jumping around on the ramp as she made her way towards the ring. Tina was all smiles pointing out toward the crowd but keeping a bit of an eye on her team. She knew of Astrid for sure but she didn't really know Astrid beyond the preparations Tina helped Alaina make for that triple threat title match with Astrid as well as Kat Hart.
Harmonia? That was a bit of a different story. Tina and Harmonia had quite a history and while Tina knew what Harmonia was capable of in the ring she was lying her own pride wasn't hurting a bit. Their last match out did not end well for the tigress at all. Harmonia won clean so Tina wasn't mad about it, but it was representative of Tina's falling stock in the eyes of the company. The inaugural LAW Middleweight Champion climbed through the ropes to enter the ring and gave a polite nod to Astrid and Harmonia. "Looks like half our team is out, ready to show WFPW how LAW handles its business?" Tina asked with a smile.
Chloe knew that being chosen for this spot was a big dal. Despite her not being in LAW as long as her teammates had been, it was clear ever since she debuted that Chloe was someone worth keeping an eye on, due to both her skills at the high flying dynamic style of wrestling, as well as her showmanship, also wanting to be the star of the show. And this match was the perfect time to be the star. And while she has worked WFPW shows before, including a Singles match during the Theme Park tour, she was going to represent LAW loud and strong.
Chloe was doing a last-minute photoshoot, before shooing all the crew members as nicely as she could, letting them all know that it was time for her to wrestle. She then headed out to Guerilla Position.
The sexy music blasted through the speakers of the arena as Chloe came out of the curtain. She came out to a lot of hooting, and whistling from her passionate fan base who came out all the way to see her wrestling live, as well as the new fans she had made recently. Chloe skipped to the ring, walking light as a feather, slapping hands with her fanbase, some of which will probably not wash for a few days.
Chloe then walked up the steel steps, and went underneath the bottom rope, but not before doing a butt swivel to make her fans come unglued. She then went to her corner and got up on the second rope and posed. Then she backflipped off the rope and landed perfectly on her feet.
Chloe then attempted to shake hands and wink towards all her teammates. “Let’s put on an amazing show for LAW!” Chloe said before heading to her corner.
When she had heard about the brand vs brand match, the rocker hadn't dared wonder who would represent LAW. There were of course a few stand outs in former heavyweight champion Astrid and inaugural middleweight champion Tina. There was even a newer face on the team in Chloe, showing the brand's faith in her, and they even threw in a rising, Young Lioness. Hearing LAW had added her to such a line up, even if she had been slowly rising up in the lightweight division, was a pleasant surprise. It was going to be exciting to fight along such amazing wrestlers.
The sixth member of LAW's team, however... Spoiler
Before she could sink further in her thoughts, her theme began to play. As the music picked up, Chris ran out onto the entrance stage, throwing up a pair of devil horns as red fireworks burst from along the stage. Her guitar was slung over her back, no intention of giving a show this time around. Chris gave a few fist bumps to the crowd on her way down, but never for long. Her mind was focused on doing her best, showing it wasn't a mistake to add the tiny snowball to this lineup. Spoiler
After rolling into the ring, the rocker kipped up with a final pair of devil horns for the crowd. As her music died, she walked over to her team and held her fist out to bump with almost all of them. The only one who wouldn't was Harmonia, older sister to her tag partner and someone she had a very, very strained relationship with.
The rocker only glared at the showy Austrian, as if to bore a hole through her. "Stay out of my way, and we should be all good. Ya got that, tits for brains?" Chris didn't bother trying to be silent so the rest of her teammates couldn't hear. She didn't care. And with her statement made, she went as far as she could away from the Austrian while still being on LAW'S side of the ring, waiting for the last member of their team to come down.
Teuila took a deep breath in preparation, her nerves actually starting to get to her at the moment. Tonight was a big night, possibly the biggest in her LAW career. The pride of the company quite literally flying partially on her shoulders. Thankfully the load wouldn't be all her own, but split among the five other competitors fighting with her tonight. But that was just it. This team was stacked as could be.
Two former champions, a famous model, a rock star, and one of LAW's rising middleweight stars, her senpai Harmonia.. Then there was her. A plucky rookie who was there supposedly as a representative of LAW's young lioness program, meant to represent the best of them... But she just couldn't help but feel lackluster compared to her more famous team mates.
None the less however she needed to do her best and that's exactly what she planned on doing. Taking a final deep breath her music would start up over the loud speakers and she would soon come out to moderate cheers. Nothing close to what her team mates got but that was to be expected.
Even if it did little to help with her nerves. Approaching the ring wearing her usual yellow leotard Teuila would slip between the ropes and give a respect nod to each and every one of her team mates before taking a final shaky breath before moving to stand by Harmonia near the corner, waiting for their opposition to arrive. Spoiler
It was an exciting time to be a wrestling fan as many knew about WFPW quickly becoming a promotion to keep their gaze on. It only had a variety of shows under it’s belt, but it had already established a foothold in multiple countries and helped many unseen LAW wrestlers find a second outlet when they wouldn’t be busy with LAW. It also gave some people like Harmonia a chance to flex their business muscles as the Austrian held many positions aside from her general manager gig. It was help from Harmonia that this was even going to be a thing and this special collaboration match was born. Six vs. six from each promotion and Team LAW was surely stacked. First, they had the brain behind this idea in Harmonia Edelstein, former champions in Astrid Ostberg and Tina Armstrong, an upcoming prospect in Chole Barden, a young talent in Teuila Masina that fit with the Samoan dynasty of the sport, and a world famous musician named Chris Yukine. Stacked was one of the right words here, but now, the crowd quieted down for Team WFPW to come down. Sophia Cross
Theme Song
The crowd turned straight into boos upon seeing Sophia Cross as she sneered her gaze towards the judgmental Japanese audience. They knew her as the woman that put Akira Kozumi’s career to rest and they never liked her since. One of the reasons Sophia hated coming to Japan to fight, but she never cared for the fans and their adoration anyway. Sophia comes out nonchalantly flipping a few fans on the way down making quick work of her entrance. Emily Workman
Theme Song
Emily came out next to a mixed reaction as the former prom queen just minded her own business tugging at her black leather jacket. She was here for business and that was simple as it got with her as she made it ringside. Shelley Maslow
Theme Song
Next would be the Beast of Banks Creek as the crowd came alive for the former MMA fighter in Shelley Maslow. She wore black leather pants and her brown cowboy jacket for this street fight as she headed down the ramp fist bumping some of the locals before turning her attention to the ring hopping on the apron tugging at the top rope staring daggers straight through Team LAW. Kai Umzakazi
Theme Song
Kai would be next and even though she signed with LAW first, they never had nothing for her right away so she signed with WFPW doing a few house shows with them thus far. The former martial arts world champion did some shadow boxing down the ramp and high-fived the fans on both sides before getting to ringside. Kai went for the steel steps smacking the top with both hands as she got on the apron becoming the crowd to bring their best reactions. Princess Cinderella Coppertorn
Theme Song
The lights dimmed and a long dark blue spotlight descended upon the entrance stage as it light up with Cinderella coming out, but she was not escorted by her butler, Romero. Cinderella would have to tackle this alone since there were no rules to be enforced and she slowly made her way down as multiple spotlights started pushing her further. Cindy then made her way to the steel steps as Shelley did the honors of sitting on the ropes for her and the princess nodded her head coming inside the ring. Cinderella had worn a baby blue ball gown to the ring before ripping away the fluffy skirt revealing her wrestling attire as she sat her large skirt outside the ring. Kaleidoscope
Theme Song
A special hologram of a kaleidoscope enveloped the ceiling of the arena as the beats started up. Multiple strobe lights started going off and the lights dimmed yet again. Kaleidoscope comes out and runs to both sides of the stage wearing a green fur coat as she pumps her fists to the music getting the crowd hyped. Kal comes down the ramp jumping in place and dancing to the music before heading around the ring pumping the crowd up. She gets on the apron as green smoke started being pumped from the turnbuckles as Kal jumped on the middle rope flipping in the ring. Kal took center stage shimming off her jacket and throwing it to Chris ready to play some mind games with this team.
“Alright! You girls must be Team LAW! Hands up! Five! Five! Five! Five! Five! Five!” Kal exclaimed as she raised each member of Team LAW’s hands and gave them high-fives as the arena lights came back to normal and she grinned with her shades on.
Harmonia leaned back and greeted everyone of her peers with a warm smile and a handshake, all except for one. When the lightweight entered the ring it seemed that a trail of ice had formed right between the middleweight and lightweight prodigies and as Yukine walked up to Harmonia the Blonde only shook her head. "You, sad, sad little woman.", she just said and looked away. She could and would not give the little rotten apple of this time the delight of getting into a discussion with her or maybe even a fight. They had to help together and Harmonia would do anything to protect the good name of LAW.
Seeing Astrid tough managed to calm her thoughts a little as she looked up to the strong woman, a woman she admired, a true champ in every meaning of the word and one of Harmonias Idols.
She smiled and put a hand on Astrids shoulder.
"Astrid as a fan, as wrestler and as friend...and member of your wider family...", she said with a smirk; "...let me tell you that this evening is the most exicting one of my life, fightind side by side with fhe great Astrid Ostberg. I won't dissapoint you.", Harmonia said and gave Astrid a quick hug.
Then when Teuila entered tough the dark clouds around her head really dissapeared for good and she greeted her Kohai with a high five and a big hug, kissing her forehead.
"My, My Teuila, have you grown again, look at this muscles, soon you will become stronger then Dana herself.", she laughed and spun around.
"How do you like my new getup?", she said with a wink before seeing their opponents enter. Harmonia tough made sure to keep the team together and cleared her throat.
"Team LAW! Lets show them what we got! FOR LAW!", she said and put her hand into the middle of the circle of girls!

As the rest of her team took their positions, Astrid looked around at the gathered members of Team LAW. With big names like Harmonia Edelstein and Tina Armstrong on her side - as well as newer and promising talent like Teuila and Chloe - it truly seemed like a showcase of the best the promotion had to offer. She stood tall and grinned with pride - even if she wasn't a champion any more, being chosen for such an event reminded her that she was still an icon of LAW, and one who had the honors of representing it on the grand stage.
She could only hope that the rest of her team thought the same way. Astrid could almost feel the tension in the air rising when Chris showed up, but when she threw a snipe in Harmonia's direction, the Norsewoman narrowed a glare on her. If there was ever a time to keep personal grudges and old feuds out of things, it was now. They were here to come together to show what LAW was really about - to do something bigger than any of them. Surely they would understand that. Not wanting to add to the tension of the situation, Astrid didn't say anything to Chris, but she did clear her throat disapprovingly - hopefully, that would get the message across.
Fortunately, it didn't seem to keep anyone else down for long. When Harmonia turned her attention away from Chris to pull Astrid into a hug, she nodded her head to the Austrian. "Considering some of the things I've seen from you," Astrid said, "that's saying something! I've seen how far you've come - and if that's something I have myself to thank, well, it's an honor!" She laughed. But in all seriousness, this was just another reminder of everything Astrid had achieved. In Harmonia and beyond, she had a legacy that was still going strong, and that was an honor she'd wear with pride!
WFPW had a team of its own, of course. And from the looks of things, they were no less ready to shine bright! Astrid could recognize a few faces in the crowd; in particular, her eyes settled on Sophia, a woman she knew was a former champion herself, even if she seemed less than enthused about the crowd. And while she wasn't as familiar with everyone, what she did see of them definitely whet her appetite. If Kaleidoscope had an entire hologram set up for her entrance, WFPW was surely taking this seriously!
Astrid traded back a high-five to Kaleidoscope, nodding her head. "And may the best team win!" she cheered - just before she turned to Harmonia, and placed her hand in the circle as well! "FOR LAW!" she chimed in. And as she did, the smile on her face could only grow wider. This, she thought, was exactly the spirit she wanted everyone to show. Hopefully, Chris and Harmonia could set their differences aside to make this match the special occasion it was meant to be!
