Alaina and Tina were two of the longest-tenured, dominant, and proven athletes on the LAW roster. Many, many LAW wrestlers talked a big game day in and day out. The Thundergirls were two of the very few out there that could actually back it up. There was a reason that
General Manager himself elected for this match to be the Main Event or the biggest LAW PPV event there is. The challengers had a long history with the tag team champions. And this third tag team match between them would prove to be yet another huge mark on LAW wrestling history in the making!
The camera crew followed Katherine Hart and Aurora Estrella as they walked backstage towards the Gorilla Position and got set to make their entrances. Alaina and Tina weren't ones to make flashy entrances no matter what the occasion was. In a way, it was intimidating. Business would pick up from the very moment the bell was rung! The Thundergirls had all the love in the world for seeing each other succeed, but in the ring, they were machines. Doubly so tonight against their biggest rival tag team sitting at the top of the division!
"This is it, 'Rora. How ya feeling?" Kat glanced down to her lightweight stablemate and partner for the night. Neither champion seemed to notice that they were being recorded and shown on the big screen on the arena as they made their long walk towards the arena to do their entrance.
"Honestly Kat, I'm nervous." Aurora began.
"You read about it in fiction here and there but now that I'm experiencing it firsthand, I think it's true what they say. The moment just before you put them on the line...these belts....they become rather heavy...." Aurora said as she bent her arm and held her tag title belt up close to her face. She stared into the center plate. The reflection of her face on the gold plating conveyed an unease in her facial expression that no mask could hide. She frowned with concern. And as she did, Kat grabbed hold of both her shoulders reached for her chin to force Estrella to look up and make eye contact.
"Heh...the fact that these feel heavy..." Kat said as she pointed to the matching belt that was fastened around her own waist.
"That's proof that you deserve to be a champion." Kat would say as she tapped her index finger against her tag partner's upper chest.
"I've told you this story before, but you know when I first got signed at LAW, I had my sights set entirely on carving my legacy into singles wrestling. It was Tracy's dream to be tag team champions with me that got me to broaden my horizons and chase my own dream of trying to become the first grand slam champion in LAW history."
"Now, I'm having the run of my career building a legacy with you and Trace. We're doing it together. Trace trusts you to live one of her life's dreams out with her as a fellow tag champ. I trust you to live this dream out with me as a partner, a best friend, and a tag champ." Kat nodded to Aurora. Aurora clenched her fist and nodded back.
"Yes....yes, of course. You're right, Kat. Haha, Tracy would have a field day if she found out I was nervous before this thing. I'm in the main event of We Are LAW as a champion! I'm the number one contender for the lightweight title and I'm main eventing OVER the champion by defending a title of my own! Against the toughest opponents I could ever hope to ask for!"
"Darn right!!! There's that fire the SWAT Cats are known for!"
"When we get out there, The Thundergirls are gonna give us the fight of our lives in a match they laid out the stipulations for. I'm already wincing at bruises and the limp I know I'm gonna be walking home with after the final bell of the night is rung."
"But you know what else we'll be walking home with? These belts, and the right to continue calling ourselves the best tag team and stable in this company and the world!"
"Let's Goooooo!"
"Here, here!"
With that, the pair ran for the entrance ramp! The lights in the arena would go out! The crowd quickly grew quiet in anticipation!
A pair of spotlights beamed down on the stage at the top of the ramp onto two women that no one seemed to recognize immediately. Both had headsets equipped with mics. They looked to each other as the familiar drumbeat of The SWAT Cat's theme song began to play!
The fans in attendance immediately began to roar and cheered in support of this! The ladies began to dance and sing a special version of The SWAT Cat's theme song! The singers created space between themselves as they twirled around the stage! 40 seconds into the song, the two of them made way for two-thirds of the tag team champions! Katherine Hart and Aurora Estrella would appear between them as purple and white pyrotechnics lot up the arena! The two of them could click the fists on their championship belts together before walking down the ramp! Kat would stop to high five both do the live singers. Aurora would high-five members of the crowd! In a moment's time, they'd both climb the steel steps of the ring. Kat would sit on the middle rope and push upwards on the top rope to create space for Aurora to duck her way into the ring. The two of them joined the Thundergirls in style! Kat and Aurora would meet Alaina and Tina in the center of the ring!
After Alaina personally called out all three of the Cats, Kat called to the production crew at ringside for a mic of her own. By now, the live concert was over. But the crowd was still singing the tune of the champs' theme song! That didn't stop Kat from answering Alaina's callouts, though!
"Before you worry about Trace, you better be worried about getting sent to the back of the line after Aurora and I win this rubber match between us and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we ARE the bar for tag team wrestling at LAW!" Kat would say as she got face to face with Alaina.
"And after we do that, I can guarantee you that Tracy Canon will more than happy to give you all you can handle and then some, Alaina. But first, it's my turn!" Aurora chimed in.
"Jim, announcer man. If you'd kindly do us the honor." Kat nodded to the suited man with the microphone in hand. She seemed to have some rapport with the gentleman. The man would go on to introduce both teams as the referee made sure all 4 women took their appropriate corner, not that it would matter much in a match with Tornado rules.
"Lllllllladies and Gentlemen!"
"This! Is your maaaaaaiiiiiiin event! Of We Are LAW 5!!!"
"The following will be a Falls Count Anywhere Tornado Tag Team Match for the LAW World Tag Team Championshiiiiips!!!"
"Introducing first! The challengers! At a combined weight of 336 pounds! They are the number one contenders for the LAW World Tag Team Championships!"
"The team of the former number one contender to the LAW Heavyweight Championship and finalist in the Inaugural Heavyweight Championship Tournament! She is "The Amazooooon" Aaaaaaaalainaaaaa Saaaaaandeeeerrrrs! And! The Inaugural LAW Middleweight Champion! They call her "The Tigress"! Tiiiiiiinaaaaa Arrrrrrrrmstroooooonnnng!"
There was quite the ovation for the challengers! But an even larger one when the announcer introduced the champions! Aurora scaled the turnbuckle in her team's corner and held her title belt up high! Kat stood back to back with her partner from the canvas as she held her corresponding shiny, gold belt up as well!
"And their opponents! The champions!"
"At a combined weight of 282 pounds! The team of one of the finalists in the first-ever Last Woman Standing tournament! The tried and true veteran, "Suuuuuper Kitty" Katherine Hart! And! The undefeated "Galaxy Cat" Aurora Estrella!"
"They are two-thirds of the Inaugural! Reigning and Defending! LAW! World! Tag Team Chhhhhaaaaaampiiiiiioooooons!"
"THHHEEEEEE SWAAAAAAAAAAAAT CAAAAAAAATS!!!!!"
With introductions out of the way, Kat and Aurora handed their belts to the official, who raised them high above his head to show exactly what was on the line. The pair of luchadoras in the ring fist-bumped each other with both hands before turning their attentions to Alaina and Tina. They both took fighting stances with their fists balled and their backs tight!
When the sound of the bell finally rang throughout the arena! The champions would race to meet their challengers in the center of the ring! Kat would go for Alaina and Aurora would go for Tina as they both looked to place one hand on the respective lady's shoulder to keep them in place while they used the other hand to rain down overhead right hands on their challengers!
