Finally, it had come to this. All of Astrid's time in LAW - no, in wrestling - was leading up to this moment. While the Norwegian might have held titles in smaller independent leagues, it was nothing on this level. Tonight, though, not only was she booked for LAW's flagship show and in the main event, but she stood a chance of proving herself worthy of holding the promotion's Heavyweight Championship, and demonstrating herself to be the greatest wrestler in her weight class. Just to be considered for the opportunity was thrilling to Astrid, but even better yet was the thought that she could win it. Astrid thought back to her time in training, in building up her reputation in smaller local companies before moving on to competing throughout Europe, and soon, the rest of the world as well. She had come far from when she was just a hopeful girl determined to live up to the legacy of her family. Astrid only wished that her father could see where she was now.
But there was more on the line now than the championship and Astrid's pride. After the qualifying match to determine who would become number one contender had ended in a double count out, with Astrid being thrown into the reigning champion Linda Halloween, the blonde was left with a score to settle with her fellow hopeful - one Cali McCloud. Just thinking back on that made Astrid clench her fist, biting her lip as was gripped by the rising tensions. It was thanks to Cali that Astrid's worthiness to challenge for the title was even in question. But, as their last match had failed to produce a clear victor, the stakes were set - and the match would be fought between the two challengers as well as the champion, with the winner taking all. A lot hung in the balance for Astrid. If she wanted to emerge the true victor, in her heart, she would have to prove her superiority over Cali and make it known once and for all that she deserved her position. And of course, there was still Linda - the champion, with the string of past victories to prove it.
It was a lot to ask for. But Astrid felt she was capable. After all, her determination and dedication to her life's calling had never failed her before.
"Dad..." Astrid said, as she stood up from her seat backstage.
"I'm going to make you proud."

Back out on stage, the lights were dimmed, and the crowd sat in silence as every set of eyes was fixed on the ring. This year's We Are LAW had been a whirlwind of action, and with each match there was sure to be many a moment to remember. But it was all building up to this - the main event. It would be a tall order for this to surpass all that had come before it in this night, but the fans were already sure it would live up to the hype. Astrid and Cali had both shown themselves to be capable challengers to Linda, and even now there were whispered murmurs as to who would win. Everyone's guess seemed just as plausible. But now, it was time to know for sure.
At last, the lights began to raise on the ring. For a main event of this caliber, LAW ring announcer Misa Otomura was standing in the ring, where she would proclaim the match to come. She shouted into the microphone with gusto, cheering for the action to follow.
"Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is our main event! The following match shall be a triple threat match for the LAW Heavyweight Championship, and is scheduled for one fall! And now, our first contender! From Stavanger, Norway; at 6'1 and weighing 188 pounds! ASTRIIIIID OSTBEEEEEEEERG!"
Misa's excitement was mirrored in the cheers of the crowd as Astrid's music began to fill the speakers, and the blonde had the enthusiasm to match. A grin was on her face as she stepped out onto the entrance ramp, with her head held high. Grinning, she hoisted a fist in the air, drawing on the applause of her supporters as she made her way down to the ring. There, she climbed over the ropes and went to her corner. Astrid stood, hands on her hips, as she faced the ramp and waited on her opponents to arrive.
