If you looked out into the crowd, you could see all sorts of signs both in support for and rooting against the prospect of the retiring of LAW's much talked about Loser Championship. It wasn't often that you'd find such a divisive subject in wrestling. There were even wrestlers out there in the crowd that were invested in this match and the impact it would have on the landscape of LAW as a whole. The commentators fiercely debated with each other back and forth on the subject, mere moments from the onset of the big match!

Even backstage, while the audience was alight with buzz and expectations, LAW staff was in a tizzy trying to get eyes and ears on the wrestlers in anticipation of the imminent match! Brief clips of everyone preparing in the locker rooms backstage played on the giant monitor in the arena. The cameras followed the famed luchadora, tag team champion Kat Hart, as she shadowboxed her way around her locker. After a quick display of impressive footwork, the footage transitioned to the esteemed Assistant General Manager.

Angie Defoe hadn't wrestled formally in some time, but her influence in various wrestling promotions throughout The States was infamous. And her infamy was at its peak during the times Defoe chose to pull double duty as both General Manager and Wrestler in the same company. Today would mark her LAW debut as a wrestler. And for all of Hart's confidence and capability as a wrestler, for all of her notable accomplishments at LAW, and for her reputation as a beloved wrestler and person, Angie seemed.... strangely calm.

The Assistant General Manager stretched against a wall backstage, lifting her foot nearly as high as her head and planting it against the hard surface before massaging her thigh. It took her just a few seconds to notice the camera.

"Oh, is it time already?" She said with a playful wink. The lights in the arena began to dim. The Assistant GM pushed off of the wall and began strutting her way down the hall and toward the go position. It was time.

Entrance Theme

Angie Defoe

As her theme song began, the stage went dark. About 18 seconds in, when the beat finally dropped, the spotlights all shined at once, converging on Angie, who stood center stage with one arm crossed under her bust and her other hand cupping her own chin, the Manager wore a wry smile on her face, one that was accentuated and made to look menacing by the lights from the rafter shining down on her!

With a swivel in her step and a confident grin darn near plastered on her face, Defoe casually strode down the entrance ramp. Her blue leotard flattered her capable yet voluptuous form. The booming voice is the announcer played up the sheer magnitude of this match.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this match will be used to decide the fate of the LAW Loser's Championship! It will be a tag elimination match! Introducing- AH!" The woman doing the introductions was interrupted by the stern hand of the second in command, herself! Angie had entered the ring and snatched the mic from the announcer!

"That's quite enough, darling." Angie spoke into the mic she procured.

"You'll find that I do most everyone's job around here much better than they do. Everything from the paperwork to the announcements to, well, wrestling in this very ring!" Angie spread her arms apart and gestured broadly to the squared circle that she graced with her presence. The fans were just as loud and just as divided on the matter as they have been during the entire build-up to this match!

"Tonight's match, to me....well, it's more of a demonstration, than anything." She trailed off. Her delighted expression somehow never wavered.

"Introducing first! Your illustrious Assistant General Manager, second only to Dan DeFranco, himself (who isn't here tonight, for shame)! Making her LAW debut tonight and defending her legacy and contribution to this company that is THE LAW Loser Championship.....!"

"Angie.... Defoe....!" The lone woman in the ring ran her fingertips down her curves and side. Her eyes narrowed with anticipation as she turned towards the entrance ramp.

"And joining me are two associates that I've grown quite close to! Joining me for my LAW debut and tagging with me tonight! The enchanting and capable Robin Mendeeezzzz!"

After allowing time for Robin's music to come on and for her business partner to make her entrance, Angie would sit on the middle rope and create a gap for Robin to enter the ring and join her. The blonde would remain seated there and lean back, gripping the mic with one hand and the top rope work the other as she enthusiastically announced the arrival of her other partner: Piper Sherwood!

"And the woman who will stop at nothing, LAW's preeminent assassin! Piperrrr Sherrrwooooood!"

[Taskmaster12]

Robin Mendez looked unconcerned with how the cameras were watching her mess with her phone while preparing to wrestle in a monumental match that would decide the fate of the Loser Championship. Robin’s article explained how she felt and when Angie announced her for this match no one was surprised it was to support her. It created some additional buzz since Robin was vocally opposed to Kat Hart and this was the first time they would meet. For all these reasons you’d think Robin would look more prepared and off her phone to focus. What they didn’t see from the cameras was what Robin was saying on that phone. Sending messages and orders to set things in place. Ending said orders with a final note, “3 minutes. Get ready.” Afterwards she had the phone placed in her bag and closed before she left at Angie Defoe’s call. Her music played but could barely be heard over the noise made by this excited crowd. Robin had been away from the ring until recently with her match with Alizeh making the fans demand more. They should be careful what they wish for, more now meant Robin would plan to crush the heroine they’ve come to know and love and turn her into a failure. For this reason alone many were calling for her head and the support she got only came from fans who wanted the championship to stay, supporting her was simply necessary for that goal. The only one Robin paid attention to was Angie who she joined in the ring and carefully walked past before muttering. “It’s done.” Angie knew the meaning. Robin took her place behind her and leaned on the ropes waiting to see her plans play out in front of her.

Piper sat idly backstage, texting on her phone in a similar way to Robin who had sat across from her before making her entrance. Though unlike the older woman Piper was only texting her friend Kaori, making sure the girl was watching the match. After all, Piper was about to play a big part in LAW history tonight, keeping the Loser title in circulation and consequently going up against one of the titular protagonists of the company.... And she was looking forward to slaying both literally and figuratively.

"Sherwood you're up."

Hopping up to her feet wordlessly after tossing her phone in her bag Piper would strut her way down the halls of the backstage area, a cocky smile playing at her face as she walked. How could she not after all? She had two literal titans on her side, one of whom had legitimate backstage power in the company, the other as per Piper's knowledge in the plan, would further make things a bit more favorable for them. Plus doing this would solidify Piper's place in Angie's good graces which was far more valuable, all she had to do was deliver and she was fully intent on doing so as she stepped through the entrance curtain to the booing crowd.

Smirking at the reaction Piper did a mocking bow to them with a big smile on her face which only made the jeers and boos double in response. After all she still had heat from what she did to Aurora in their Apex match, and Piper was stroking that heat into a raging fire as she cockily made her way down the ramp, flipping her hair back arrogantly as she approached the ring before hopping up on the apron and striking a pose while looking over her shoulder, cocky smirk still on her face before vaulting over the ropes and into the ring. Strutting over to her teammates Piper would look both over and definitely stood out the most compared to them being so much smaller, her black and green gear even seeming to emphasize this as she stood next to them. Despite this though just gave a nod. "Ready ladies?" Piper asked with a wink knowing wha was about to happen before leaning against the ropes, waiting for their adversaries to come down next.

The crowd's reaction was to be expected. The likes of Piper, Robin, and even Angie herself had not been doing them very few favors as of late. The commentary at ringside remarked on how the three women in the ring right now acted in service to only two parties: themselves, and each other. The knowing looks exchanged between them said as much. Angie knew the significance of Robin's words. The plan they hatched would become relevant soon enough. The Assistant GM subtly nodded with approval upon hearing the beautiful raven-haired woman's words. Ever the cool and collected, confident mastermind, Robin posted up by the ropes.

Piper's entrance followed Mendez's own in short order. The petite blonde was far more forthright than her peers. Where Angie and Robin made some attempt to mask what they were looking to achieve tonight, Piper made no bones about what she was here to do. The Brawling Bunny practically lived to impose her will. As she made her way to the ring, Piper reveled in the heat from the crowd. Sherwood struck a pose and sauntered her way into and about the ring. The smaller blonde's knowing wink to Defoe said it all. There was no posturing and no beating around the bush with Sherwood. It was a trait Angie valued highly.

"Oh, we are now." Angie smiled at Piper.

With her microphone still in hand, Defoe turned to the crowd and continued with her announcements.

"And now, for the woman you all so adore! The one who will lead the charge to abolish LAW's Loser Title! The one you call "hero". The so-called face of this company. Decorated LAW Superstar! The Super Kitty! Kaaaaaat Hart!" Angie turned to the entrance ramp and emphatically announced the entrance of the woman who took up the charge against the Loser Belt. The woman who scratched and clawed her way through many a match and many a trial and tribulation just to earn this opportunity- the right to settle the fate of the belt once and for all in a wrestling match!

Entrance Music

Kat's very familiar theme started up and enlivened the audience in attendance! Whether they were for or against LAW's continued use of The Loser Championship, everyone seems to sing along! The singing and the pyro that followed it heralded the arrival of The Super Kitty!

And yet....after ten seconds or so....no one came. Angie shrugged curiously. She walked to the set of ropes closest to the entrance ramp and leaned against them. Once again she called out

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Kaaaaaat Harrrrrrt! Kat- oh dear!" Angie's continued announcement was interrupted by a live feed being displayed on the giant monitor above the entrance ramp. Outside the door to Kat's locker, the one we saw just moments ago were two or three figures dressed in all black. Hoodies? Jeans? Sweaters? It all happened so fast that it was difficult for anyone to make out. The figures swarmed into the room quickly! The last one to go in slammed the door shut, preventing the camera crew from following the action inside!

"NGH!" A loud, distinct grunt definitely belonging to Kat could be heard followed by the sound of someone or something crashing into metal, presumably one of the lockers!

As the feed cut out, sounds of blows and roughhousing could be heard. It didn't take ten seconds for the commentary team to remark on the fact that whatever they had just witnessed had to have been premeditated! This blatant attack must have been the plan all along! And it seemed to continue off-screen as things continued to play out in the arena!

The cameras cut back to the ring. Angie grit her teeth and cringed, very clearly feigning concern.

"Ohhh that's rather concerning. But I'm sure even the great and noble Kat Hart would tell us that the show must go on!" Angie brushed right past this development, barely giving the crowd time to meet her words with boos as she continued straightaway! Defoe gestured to the entrance ramp!

"Wrestling for the purpose of retiring one of my greatest legacies and contributions to this company, the LAW Loser Championship! The team of "The Shooting Star" Grace Moore!" Seconds after Grace arrived, Angie moved on.

"And Newbie! Nuuuuooooo!"

"...Entering the ring next, hailing from Phoenix, Arizona. Standing at 6'0 and weighing 150 lbs...she's the brightest star racing across the skies of LAW...Grace Moore!!! THE SHOOTING STAR!!!"

Spoiler

Grace Moore entered the scene with a round of applause, cheers, and chants that shifted the atmosphere and brought some much-needed energy and hope into the mix after the terrible and mysterious unresolved backstage scenario played out moments prior...The masked, blue-clad grappler raced down to the ring, standing across all three women with an undeterred sense of passion and confidence. The crowd was behind her, cheering her on in hopes of avenging Kat and defeating the injustice at the hands of LAW's incorrigible Assistant GM.

"Seems my teammate was taken out of commish-...you all wouldn't know anything about that, would you?" She narrowed her gaze toward Angie...The Arizona-born wannabe superstar was seemingly irritated and pissed off already, as if Angie and her crew had already gotten beneath her skin, riling the Shooting Star up... but then, a moment of clarity washed over her as she merely smiled, perhaps to Angie and company's dismay? She chuckled, rolling her shoulders and stretching, loosening up for the big rumble ahead. "Oh well!!! Whatever happens, happens...and I'm sure that what's GOING to happen is Kat is going to make her way back here and tear through every single one of you...That is-...if Huang and I don't finish you all first~." She teased, winking and sticking her tongue out mockingly, getting the crowd on her side as she gestured to the many lovely fans in the stands. "You may think I'm just boasting and acting tough here, but-...I've got every bit of faith that the real losers tonight are standing right across from me."

Spoiler

So she climbed the turnbuckle in her team's corner and sat atop it. Her expression was unmoved and unyielding. The bright-eyed, masked woman was determined and prepared for what lay ahead. Despite Kat's delayed appearance, the Shooting Star showed ZERO signs of fear. Mind you, Grace's reaction wasn't out of a lack of concern but from an abundance of trust. She could count on Kat to pull through and even the odds later. For now, she and Huang Nuo, a woman she had a brief history with, would have to hold down the fort themselves. A difficult task, to be sure, but a necessary challenge to overcome if they wanted to abolish the Loser's Championship for good!!! Of course...Grace had other ideas in mind for this match, ulterior motives as it were...but the masked wrestler would keep her cards close to her chest, hiding whatever secretive machinations she had concocted within her mind. She openly volunteered for this position, to stand beside Kat Hart in a defiant stance against the cruel tactics of the Assistant GM's design...but that wasn't the ONLY reason Grace was participating in this fight. In due time, she would make her reasons known...But for now-...it was time to kick ass and hold off until Kat Hart could join the fray.

Nuo stood in the locker room, putting on her wrestling attire. She pulled her straps that was covering her chest and pulled them up, her breasts lifted up by the straps to see if her outfit was tight. Once she confirmed it she let go of the straps, allowing them to smack against her breasts. After she was dressed up, she joined her partner, Grace Moore, the other masked wrestler to the ring. She wasn't somewhat of a stranger to Nuo since she had a match with her before and got along with after.

She was aware of the whole match involving the 'Fate of the Loser Champion' title. Though she was in between the idea of the title since she thought the person that carried the title would be seen as a joke. Another was she just didn't care as long as it doesn't bother which it now did since she's being involved in a elimination match. Because of this, she had to win if she didn't want to make a fool out of herself.

Entrance Music

Appearance

Once her theme starts playing she rushed out of the backstage and finally got her turn on the spotlight. Raising her fist in the air while the other hand was placed on her hip to strike a pose. She then made her way down the ramp and made her way to the ring, almost doing a full lap in order to meet up with her partner(s) in the corner. "Grace Moore, right?" She smiled at her partner. "It's been a while!" Using the ropes to climb onto the ring where she stood on the apron beside the other masked wrestler who sat on the top turnbuckle. Nuo couldn't help but to realize their team was one woman down, even counting in her head to make sure.

[Taskmaster12]

Kat Hart expected her opponents to be in the ring and that made catching her by surprise in her planned ambush to be easy once she had pinpointed where her teammates were. Both Grace and Newbie were somewhere else and the other cats weren’t close enough to come running in for a save. How could any of them have expected this attack? Robin was happy to see the door close on the screen and confirm that everything went perfectly. By the time they were done with the other two Kat would still be crawling to the LAW hospital. That meant victory was hers before the opening bell. The best part was that because of Angie’s feigned attempts at surprise the crowd and viewers would think she planned it out. They would be watching Angie carefully from here and management might do the same for the next few days. It would be pointless thanks to their plan. Angie had no ties to the attackers and had exchanged no money or spoken to anyone that could’ve carried out this attack. She’d carefully selected who she’d spoken too over the past week and spent the entire day publicly preparing for this match that no one could say or point to a moment where she planned this. No one would think Robin would have such a resource in mind simply for being a wrestler who commentated for LAW could do such a thing either. Or Piper who if she had those resources had plenty of chances to use them before today that would’ve been a better use of them. All it took was a few orders from her and simple text and no one would be able to figure out who did this and they would come to the wrong assumptions if they tried. “Without Kat this should take us all of 5 minutes.” She wanted it to be sooner. She never cared for 20 minute fights if she could finish it in 20 seconds.

[Bare]

Looking up and watching the video of Kat Hart being assaulted brought a unashamed grin to Piper's face. After all with what happened with Aurora it was no surprise that Piper didn't exactly hold the Galaxy Cat's teammates in high regard and seeing one of them battered in such a way before such a big match, on top of giving her and her team an advantage? As far as Piper was concerned that was a triple win.

As the old adage went though the show must go on, and the opposing team would just have to make do with one less member. 'All well.' Piper thought to herself while resting her hands on her hips and sitting back, watching in anticipation as their next opponents came down. The first of which being an up beat but surprisingly tall thing named Grace Moore, and boy could she talk now. "Well aren't you confident? Luckily I don't mind bringing you back down to earth." Piper called right back, not above trading barbs prior to the match, unlike her more stoic and serious team mates.

Next up to come out however was one Newbie Nuo. Piper was.. somewhat familiar with the girl but didn't know much. As she came down the ramp though Piper would chuckle softly to herself and nod. 'Now she I buy being in this match.' The blonde thought to herself as Newbie entered the ring and conversed with her teammate a bit prior to the match.

Speaking of team mates... Piper would turn to Robin with a near incredulous look at what she said. "Well yeah but where's the fun in that? Look at those snacks! We can tear them apart easy and make a real statement here." Piper countered, not at all wanting to end this match anytime soon. Not when there was any amount of pride and self esteem left in their opponent! Especially when kat was out of commission and wouldn't be here to interrupt or make things harder for them.

[winner3]

Despite having architected these circumstances and everything about this match, Angie genuinely seemed to be having fun with it! Everything about tonight brought a satisfied grin to her face. From making the announcements and introducing these talents to engineering the situation such that Kat would be sidelined and functionally turning this into a handicap match, everything was going to plan! Even Grace's brand of magnetic and overflowing charisma was something Defoe had anticipated. It was easy for the blonde to continue playing coy when the perky bluenette commanded a strong presence, boasting about her team's ability to somehow come out on top and retiree LAW's Loser Belt!

Though Angie pantomimed, bringing her hand to her chest to express shock and worry, it was plain to see that she bore none of those feelings. The truth was that it was often forgotten that she also played the role of Head of Talent Relations. Her penchant for accurately appraising, assessing, and scouting talent for LAW meant that she knew full well that if nothing else happened tonight, the fans would get behind Grace!

When Nuo made her entrance and made her way into the ring, Angie leaned over the ropes in her corner. With this, all the pieces were in place. Fans and commentary speculated on what the playing field was looking like right now. If you were a betting person, you'd probably gamble on the possibility of the Loser Belt remaining a cornerstone of LAW for many years to come!

As Nuo and Grace caught up with one another, Robin and Piper quipped back and forth about how they were going to approach this match. Defoe softly nodded at both women's statements. She was conveniently positioned between Mendez and Sherwood. Angie extended both her hands, placing one on Robin's shoulder and one on Piper's.

"Girls, girls..." She started, trying to get both of their attention.

"If everyone does their job tonight, then it shouldn't matter whether we play this out for 5 minutes or 5 hours." Angie flashed a brief but sinister grin to one woman and then to the other. She alluded to the fact that the "help" they employed to dispatch Kat was told to be very thorough with The Super Kitty.

"Robin, sometimes you're efficient to a fault, you know? This a massive platform. And a massive match. Allowing it some decent airtime puts more money in our pockets..." She spoke just loud enough for only Piper and Robin to hear.

"Besides, look at how excited Piper is. Who are we to deny her the chance to play with her food a little bit? And who can blame her?" Her eyes narrowed and focused on the pair of Grace and Nuo across the ring.

"Those two look scrumptious, don't they? Piper....please help yourself! This match is doing numbers, ladies. We've got a vast platform here. Why don't we use it to....send a message or two?" Angie looked to Sherwood and gestured to the opposition. For better or for worse, it seemed the Assistant General Manager intended to make sure that everyone had their fill in this huge match, and this momentous, pivotal moment in LAW's history!

[Bare]

Piper continued to smirk while looking hungrily over at their opponents. Every part of her wanted nothing more than to start laying into them right now. But that would be reckless and cause unnecessary friction that her team didn't need right now, even with the odds stacked heavily in their favor. Luckily for Piper though she and Angie were of very similar mindsets as the older woman explained to Robin, in words far more eloquent than Piper ever could have managed, just why they should make the most of this opportunity, and in turn, giving Piper the ok to start things off.

"Heh, I knew that we gelled Angie." Piper said with a smug undertone to her voice as she began to walk forward from their corner before looking over her shoulder with a small grin. "Can't promise there will be much for you two though." She said before turning towards Grace and Nuo respectively. "Alright, which of you two losers is starting off? Or do I need to pick for you?" Piper asked mockingly with a malicious smirk on her face as she stepped closer, the evil grin on her face showing just how much she was relishing this right now.
