Wrestlers must win with a smothering submission. The loser is the winner's Prisoner of War for a night.
Julie was in a biiiit of a pickle. During some stream-related shenanigans a few weeks ago, Julie challenged a friend to a match on stream. Of course, the idea was insanely popular among her fans and followers. There was just one little problem: Because of Julie's contract with LAW, she couldn't stream any of her official match content.
What made matters worse was that, as she eventually learned, LAW had given streaming rights to other prominent content creators! Jem Holland had it. Vanessa Silverstone had it. Heck, it was literally Allie Lee's job to combine her own content with that of LAW. But apparently, JDLOfficial herself wasn't big enough to have it. She wasn't jealous of those girls, not really. They were her e-friends and, as of a few months ago, her colleagues... but they were also her inspirations. Her aspirations. And if she wanted to reach the heights that they had, she needed that kind of access.
Luckily, if there was one thing that Julie Dykstra-Liao knew how to do, it was attract attention. This entire match was designed to do exactly that. It wasn't just an ever-popular smother match that she'd booked. No, it was a POW Smother match. Prisoner of War matches always had people slobbering on socials, and because Julie was known for uploading content from her life at LAW, fans got the idea that they might even be treated to a rare sight of what happens after a POW match!
More than that, Julie knew that utilitarian MMA techniques could be boring for audiences... so she'd be going into this match looking to expand her moveset. The kickboxer was looking forward to showing that she could do more than just put a chick in a kimura and call it a day. She'd been practicing more traditional professional wrestling techniques just for this match... and maybe even a few boob-and-butt-based barrages!
She even eschewed her traditional MMA attire -- the outfit she'd been wearing in rings and octagons for years -- for something new. A casual yet revealing red tank top and some short athletic shorts. The first hint that while audiences could expect something new from the Notorious J.D.L., they could still look forward to something exciting and sexy.

Now, all she had to wait on was the last piece of this exciting, attention-grabbing formula of hers...
