Grace had been removed from the main action for a bit having taken some time off but she felt energized for that time and was looking to show how it had been good for her in the long run. Grace hadn't stopped training and if anything was in some of the best shape of her life, but she wasn't going to waste time talking or bragging about it, not when she could easily get in the ring and just boast about it with a public showing Spoiler
Her music played and out the proud fighter came to a decent pop and a smile wide on her face. She shook hands and high-fived people on the way down. When she entered the ring she just went to her corner though, she knew that once her opponent came out the fun would be over and the two of them would need to get serious since from what she was told this new face was relatively dangerous.
While waiting for Grace to finish her entrance, Selene shadow boxed within the locker rooms. As per usual she wore her cookie themed bikini as she bounced around on the balls of her feet, throwing jab after jab. On a bench nearby, Caroline silently spectated her friend warm up. Similarly, she also dressed herself in a bikini though her one was pastel coloured with frills. "Your next opponent was a title contender." The smaller woman stated bluntly. "Had an even match with Linda." "Hmph." The larger woman grinned. "Then this should be fun."
Soon enough, a LAW's official arrived to summon them to ring. The pair nodded at each other before they set off for the arena. Selene Appearance Reference

Star-shaped microphone in hand, Caroline playfully skipped out from backstage. "~Hello everybody!~" She chirped into the mic. "Introducing next, LAW's most, most, most awesome wrestler!" The speakers slowly amped up Selene's music. "The ~Sweet Beast!~SSSSSelene! Sugarrrrr!"
A line of fireworks erupted across the stage as the Sweet Beast entered stepped onto the stage, her fist held triumphantly in the air while her broad smile radiated confidence. She sauntered down the ramp, firing haymakers and uppercuts along the way, each strike coinciding with a bright light flash and sharp firework pop to emphasis their impact. Her personal announcer followed suit, skipping about in a childlike manner. Nonetheless, the grand entrance drove the crowds into excited cheers. Entrance Theme
Selene vaulted over the top ropes with a single leap. Meanwhile, Caroline opted to clamber through the middle ropes. Together, they approached Grace. "Eyo." Selene extended her hand as she greeted her opponent. "I hope we can remain friends after I kick your ass."

Grace watched two girls come out, first Caroline the manager and Selene the wrestler she would be fighting, Grace watched the bombastic entrance Caroline gave her while Selene basked in it the the way only wrestlers and rock stars seem to ever be able to. The crowd loved it and even Grace felt a pulse of excitement crawl through her while Selene marched down to the ring, who was completely nice when she actually did enter and greet her even if she added a bit of playful banter. But was life without banter like that?
"I'd like to make a new friend." Grace said before shaking Selene's hand, the two now face to face and she found herself impressed with Selene's overall look and physique. She would clearly be a challenge and fresh off returning to main action that was just what Grace needed right now, a good scrap to show where she stood. "So I hope that offer goes both ways." Grace said as she backed off to let the ref do her job and start the match.
"Ohh, succinct." Selene bopped her head as she responded to Grace's reply with approval. "~I like it, I like it.~" "Mmm." Carolined nodded alongside her charge before she ushered herself out of the ring. "Welp, ~good luck, Grace. Have fun, Selene." With all of her well-wishing said, she skipped to the ropes and slid out under them.
Meanwhile, Selene went to her corner and did some last second warming up by bouncing on the balls of her feet.
As soon as the bell rung, the Sweet Beast exploded from her corner, sprinting at full speed. She closed the distance in an instant and sought to kick off the match the same way she always did. Taking advantage of her vigorous velocity combined with her crushing striking power, she executed her signature move, the S.T.A. (running big boot) in an attempt to plough her foot through Grace's head.

Grace and Selene seemed to be off to a great start with the two of them parting on good terms with even Caroline wishing both of them luck. Grace had appreciated the behavior with the two of them now separating to wait for the bell to ring, Grace watched her go back and do some last second preparation while Grace stayed focus until the bell rang. This brought Selene to action and soon her opponent was rushing her with no prep, Grace got ready and saw her going for the big boot that she caught to avoid taking the hit to her face.
"Well you don't waist time do you?" Grace said surprised by the attack and impressed about how she had caught it. That kick looked like it could knock some heads around and Grace felt herself wondering how Selene could try something like that as her opening gambit. Still she would hold it long enough to steady her opponent and if she could would try to drag Selene down to the floor.
As was typical of Selene, she rushed her opponent from the get-go and used the S.T.A. as her opening move. However, for the first time ever, her boot got caught. Despite her expression initially displaying surprise, she soon flashed her teeth through a broad smile as she ignored whatever Grace said and countered. The Sweet Beast cocked her hips and jumped, twisting her hips as she made air time to strike the American's head with an enzuigiri.
Regardless of whether the enzuigiri connected or not, Selene sprung back onto her feet via a kip-up before she continued the attack. Then depending on whether her foe was standing up or lying prone, she would either launch a barrage of jabs targetting Grace's exposed stomach or jump once more for an elbow drop (with theatrics).

Grace had not been expecting to see this kind of attack so fast but she was just glad she had stopped it short. Selene seemed to lack any sense of control and Grace was planning to exploit that and counter as her best means of offense. Except she took too long, Selene's shock only lasted long enough to notice she was surprised at all before she quickly recovered and sent her other leg up smacking it across Grace's face before the brunette had time to counter.
"Agguh!" Grace screamed while her head and the rest of her turned to the side before Grace fell after a failed attempt to keep her balance. She had dropped next to Selene and tended to her head, but this just let Selene press the attack and not too soon after she had hit the floor had she been surprised by Selene driving her elbow down onto her chest. "Gaagh!" Grace coughed out, her voice being caught in her throat as she felt her chest flattened by the elbow and the power Selene brought down with it. All Grace could do after that was try to roll off and protect her chest while she exhaled.
This time, both Selene's enzuigiri and elbow drop saw more success than her big boot. However, just as she performed another kip-up, her opponent rolled away before she could resume the attack. "Not bad so far." She remarked with a grin while rolling her shoulders. "But I expect more from someone who challenged Linda for the championship." However, she didn't offer Grace any chance to respond.
Instead, the Sweet Beast ran to the furthest ropes and leapt onto the middle ropes to catapult herself at the brunette. Soaring through the air, the bronzette repeated her same theatrics earlier as she went for a springboard variation of her earlier elbow drop, her trajectory poised to strike Grace's midsection. Elbow Drop Reference (except Springboard variation)
Grace was barely down when Selene had started going back at her, a few more words and already she could feel the mat bouncing as Selene basically sprinted towards her for her next move. The brunette could almost feel her charging up at her before she saw her take flight to come down on Grace's prone body. The big girl knew how to be fast when she needed, and staying down would only see her pummeled until she was knocked out, with nothing left to do she would quickly roll out of the way of the hit and let Selene miss her on her way down.
Quickly Grace would try and bring herself back up expecting Selene would be following soon after but she was expecting as much, and would try to move in before she got all the way up and sent a knee into Selene's head before she was back up to her feet.
Selene's expression froze as she witnessed Grace once again roll out of the way, leaving the Japanese woman to crash onto the canvas instead. "Grr..." With a grimace, she let out a low growl as she shook her now sore forearm before she executed yet another kip-up. As soon as she got up, she felt a knee smash into her waist courtesy of the American. "Gah!" "Come on, Selene!" Meanwhile, Caroline continued clapping and cheering on her friend. "You got this!"
Staggering backwards a couple steps, Selene shook her head and promptly went back on the attack despite giving herself hardly any time to recover. She charged her opponent head-on, lifting her right leg up to apparently re-attempt the S.T.A.. However, that was just a feint and she converted the big boot into a Bicycle kick aimed at Grace's head, the idea being that the delay in kick threw her timing off.
